Parents of hospitalized children feel personally responsible for their children's safety, and efforts are being made to engage parents in safety efforts. This retrospective review of incident reports found more than 100 cases in a 5-year period in which parents were directly involved in adverse events in a pediatric intensive care unit. These included cases where parents detected an adverse event as well as cases where the parents caused the adverse event (for example, by accidentally disconnecting equipment). The authors advocate for development of a safety culture that encourages parents to report concerns, a goal that is a major focus of the Josie King Foundation.

|A New Proponent for the
Army Acquisition Corps
|by Sergeant Major Ethan A. Jones
In response to the increase in requirements for military
contracting support, in November 2008, the Vice
Chief of Staff of the Army approved the expansion of the Army’s contracting force structure to meet the demands of rapid deployments, troop sustainment, and nation building and to support the integration of a proponent office for military occupational specialty (MOS) 51C, Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (ALT) contracting noncommissioned officers (NCOs).
The expanded force structure was needed to provide institutional contracting training, compliance, doctrine, policies, guidance, and oversight and to leverage existing capabilities of other Department of the Army (DA) and Department of Defense (DOD) organizations involved in contracting processes. The creation of career management field 51 (acquisition) and MOS 51C was approved in December 2006 by the Army Human Resources Command (HRC) Deputy Chief of Staff, Operations.
The Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC)—a direct reporting unit to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for ALT (ASA[ALT])—is the personnel proponent for all military and DA civilians within the Army Acquisition Corps (AAC) and ALT workforce. Many Army and DOD organizations and personnel are involved in fostering the professional development of MOS 51C Soldiers.
Assistant Secretary of the Army for ALT
The ASA(ALT) provides guidance for managing the positions and career development of the ALT workforce through the Army Acquisition Executive. The ASA(ALT) provides guidance for designating and identifying ALT positions; specifying position requirements; attaining and maintaining ALT competencies through education, training, and experience; managing the selection and placement of AAC personnel in ALT positions; and identifying workforce metrics.
The ASA(ALT)’s core mission is to effectively and efficiently lead the execution of the Army’s acquisition function and the acquisition management system. The ASA(ALT) provides oversight for the life-cycle management of Army weapon systems and equipment, from research and development through test and evaluation, acquisition, and fielding, to disposition. The ASA(ALT) oversees the chemical weapons elimination program and is responsible for appointing, managing, and evaluating program management and executive officers and managing the AAC and ALT workforce.
Director, Acquisition Career Management
The Army Acquisition Executive has designated the Principal Military Deputy (MILDEP) to the ASA(ALT) as the Director, Acquisition Career Management (DACM). The DACM directs the AAC and assists the Army Acquisition Executive in carrying out the requirements of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA).
DAWIA requires DOD to establish defense acquisition education and training standards, requirements, and courses. The act focuses heavily on a systematic approach to making the ALT workforce more professional. DAWIA specifies requirements for work assignments, experience, education, and training. Within the Army, the DACM is responsible for implementing ALT workforce education, training, and career development. A major challenge for today’s Army is to focus on integrating military and civilian ALT workforce members’ education, training, and career development into the mission of the organization. Commanders and managers at all levels must possess a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities to meet this challenge.
The DACM appoints a deputy DACM (DDACM), who is responsible for the organization and daily management functions of the Army’s acquisition career management activities. The DDACM, as the ALT workforce proponent and single point of contact on all matters pertaining to DAWIA implementation, is responsible for developing and approving all Army policies and procedures established to implement DAWIA.
The DACM and DDACM approve the ALT contracting professional career development program. This program is designed to train the acquisition workforce, support professional growth, provide operational experience, and enhance leadership competence. These goals are met through professional certification, credentialing, and undergraduate and postsecondary degree programs.
To effectively administer comprehensive career management and development programs for the AAC, the Army Acquisition Executive appointed Lieutenant General N. Ross Thompson III as the DACM. As the DACM, he oversees the training management and support of more than 43,000 acquisition professionals. He is also responsible for the career and professional development programs of the acquisition NCO corps.
Army Acquisition Support Center
Many Army regulations and pamphlets (including Army Regulation [AR] 600–3, The Army Personnel Development System; AR 70–1, Army Acquisition Policy; AR 5–22, The Army Force Modernization Proponent System; DA Pamphlet 70–3, Army Acquisition Procedures; DA Pamphlet 600–3, Commissioned Officer Professional Development and Career Management; and DA Pamphlet 600–25, U.S. Army NCO Professional Development Guide) and the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) name USAASC as the AAC and ALT proponent.
Under the DDCAM’s oversight, USAASC establishes DAWIA policies and procedures and is responsible for—
- Overseeing accession.
- Developing high-quality education, training, and experience opportunities.
- Establishing career paths.
- Providing for the overall career development of the military and civilian acquisition workforce.
- Determining the dispensation of waivers.
- Identifying and defending funding requirements for acquisition career management programs.
- Supporting the MILDEP in AAC transformation initiatives.
USAASC provides resource, personnel, program, and force structure guidance to the program executive offices, direct reporting program managers, and other acquisition elements on USAASC’s table of distribution and allowances. USAASC is also the AAC proponent for Total Army Analysis submissions.
MOS 51C Enlisted Proponent Office
The MOS 51C Enlisted Proponent Office is responsible for synchronizing the eight life-cycle management processes of career management field 51 and MOS 51C. The life-cycle management processes are recruitment, retention, individual training, education, distribution, sustainment, professional and career development, and separation.
To draw from the existing expertise and capabilities of other DA and DOD acquisition organizations involved in institutional contracting training, training support, and doctrine, the 51C proponent functions and personnel are located within various DOD agencies, including the USAASC headquarters, ASA(ALT)
Integration Office, 37th Training Wing (U.S. Air Force), HRC, and TRADOC. The proponent office also coordinates with HRC’s Acquisition Career Management Branch and Quartermaster Enlisted Personnel Management Branch.
The 51C Enlisted Proponent Office reports to the DDACM and consists of a 51C proponent officer (in the rank of major), a chief NCO proponent (sergeant major), an ALT combat development NCO (master sergeant), a contracting basic NCO course and reclassification instructor (sergeant first class), and an HRC MOS 51C career manager and assignment officer (sergeant first class). The 51C proponent is unlike most Army proponent offices because its actions have congressional mandates and DAWIA policies govern life-cycle management functions and processes.
Proponent Officer and Chief NCO Proponent
The 51C proponent officer (major) and chief NCO proponent (sergeant major), with direction from the DACM and DDACM and in compliance with DAWIA, participate in a wide range of functions to support the military contracting workforce. Their responsibilities include—
- Conducting Army G–1 functional reviews and career management field reviews.
- Leading the Army’s personnel transformation efforts for current and future operations.
- Providing TRADOC with proponent updates pertaining to life-cycle management policies, procedures, and promotions.
- Facilitating proponent-related training and education workshops.
- Projecting, building, and monitoring DA training requirements in conjunction with Army G–1 structure and manning decision reviews.
- Recruiting highly-skilled NCOs from other enlisted career fields to MOS 51C to support the contracting force structures of the Active component, ASA(ALT), Army Contracting Command, Army Special Operations Command, Corps of Engineers, and special mission units.
- Reclassifying and training NCOs transferring from other career fields.
- Providing proponent input for updates to Army regulations and pamphlets.
- Initiating and fostering partnerships with the Air Force, Marine Corps, Defense Acquisition University, TRADOC, Army Combined Arms Center, Army Combined Arms Support Command, and Army Logistics University for career and professional development for 51-series officers and 51C NCOs.
- Assisting Army and DOD organizations with force structure and development and the Total Army Analysis process, which affects current and future contracting force structure and operations.
- Advising and providing updates to the Army Acquisition Executive, DACM, USAASC director, and regimental acquisition NCO corps sergeant major on all programs and actions relating to ALT contracting NCO personnel.
The chief NCO proponent also serves as the senior enlisted advisor to the USAASC director.
ALT Combat Development NCO
The ALT combat development NCO (master sergeant) performs a variety of ALT-related analytical tasks, including—
- Analyzing, documenting, and obtaining approval for warfighting concepts, future operational capabilities, organizational requirements, and materiel requirements.
- Assisting with determining solutions for the needs of future operational capabilities.
- Assisting with revising existing manuals and developing new training tools and manuals, including joint contingency contracting and field ordering officer training publications.
- Assisting with mission training plans, military quali-fication standards, and training support packages.
- Serving in ad hoc groups and teams charged with specific acquisition and logistics projects as a subject-matter expert in the development of resident and exportable training products related to contracting on the battlefield.
The ALT instructor (sergeant first class) serves as a primary instructor and liaison for the Army and Air Force enlisted personnel attending the 51C reclassification training. The ALT instructor’s primary mission is to deploy and perform as a contingency contracting officer. This individual is responsible for—
- Training and mentoring Army and Air Force contracting NCOs.
- Training enlisted personnel in acquisition processes, procedures, policies, compliance, laws, regulations, and statutes and on equipment.
- Assisting with updating combat administrative data and programs of instruction as required.
- Providing operational experience and leadership in understanding lessons learned from contingency contracting operations and missions.
- Coordinating the planning and briefing of Army training requirements to the 345th Training Squadron staff.
HRC Career Manager and Assignment Officer
The HRC 51C career development and assignments officer (sergeant first class) is responsible for—
- Reclassifying, assigning, and training MOS 51C Soldiers.
- Processing assignment actions while considering professional development, stabilization, and reclassification.
- Reviewing and accepting or rejecting nominations.
- Filling open requisitions in the Enlisted Distribution and Assignment System.
- Coordinating with the Army, other DOD agencies, and senior enlisted contracting advisers in the field on filling assignments and training requirements.
- Making final selections of NCOs for reassignment.
- Screening and selecting Soldiers for high-priority assignments and training.
- Coordinating with appropriate personnel on high-interest cases.
- Recommending final actions on joint domicile requests, overseas-service volunteers, foreign-service tour extensions and curtailments, deletion and deferment requests, and staff action memorandums.
The objective of the MOS 51C Enlisted Proponent is to work with TRADOC to develop viable professional development programs for 51C NCOs that create a professional, agile, and motivated NCO corps that consistently makes sound and informed business decisions, acts in an ethical manner, and delivers timely and affordable capabilities to the warfighter. The 51C Enlisted Proponent provides career guidance and opportunities that broaden NCOs’ experience and progression potential, provide program stability and accountability, and ensure effective use of training and civilian education
Currently the majority of ALT contracting NCO positions are within the Army Expeditionary Contracting Command, a subordinate command of the Army Materiel Command. These deployable modification table of organization and equipment positions support the missions, training, and career development of 51C enlisted personnel.

According to one poll, women shave their legs for an average of 72 days, or more than ten weeks, in their lives. Not to mention the innumerable scrapes and scratches from shaving that linger long after one finishes shaving, waxing, or any other popular hair removal method, which are uncomfortable and can result in ingrown hairs.
It's time to say goodbye to shaving and waxing. Consider laser hair removal for a long-term solution. Don't waste another minute removing undesirable hair. Visit Dadu Medical Centre for Full Body Laser Hair Removal in Delhi.
What is Laser Hair Reduction?
Laser hair removal treatment is a permanent hair removal treatment that addresses the issue at its root. The procedure uses focused lasers to damage hair follicles while leaving the skin unharmed.
The laser is a focused beam of light that absorbs the pigment, or melanin, in the hair and then destroys the hair follicle, stopping future hair growth.
Since melanin in the hair absorbs the laser, the treatment must be conducted on areas with dark hair; however, laser hair removal cannot efficiently remove blonde, red, or white hair.
Some areas where laser hair removal is used include underarms, hands, legs, bikini area, face, back, stomach, etc.
How to get ready for Full Body Laser Hair Removal?
Stay out of Sun
Laser therapy cannot be conducted on burned or recently tanned skin. Therefore, avoid the sun for at least two weeks before your laser visit. After treatments, the skin will be more sensitive, so apply SPF and avoid the sun between visits.
Stop using skin care products
Certain common skin care products make the skin more photosensitive. For example, because laser hair removal utilizes light to target hair follicles, higher photosensitivity may raise one’s chances of the therapy burning the skin.
Benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinol are all ingredients to avoid. Stop using goods containing these substances 2-3 days before therapy and again 2-3 days after treatment.
Shave the Area
One must shave the region within 24 hours of the laser therapy and come with no hair left.
Wait to leave shaving the bikini region until the last minute. Because the skin in this area is extremely sensitive (which is one of the reasons it's a good idea to abandon the razors! ), one should give it time to heal after shaving.
Wear comfortable clothes
On the day of the laser hair removal session, one should give their clothing some extra attention. For example, after the laser hair removal treatment, one may notice some irritation in the affected region.
Use loose, breathable clothing to minimize discomfort from the apparel. Use cotton underwear and loose-fitting pants while treating your bikini area.

When I started blogging, it was originally a way for me to express my feelings and keep family and friends up-to-date on what was happening with mom. I never imagined that I would have so many readers or people following our story. We've received so much support and love throughout this journey and that really helps to get us through.
A couple months ago, I joined a task force, initiated by the mayor, for our city (actually, the city next to mine...we branched off from the city and became our own a few years ago). The idea of this task force is to get Riverside certified as part of the Purple Alliance. Becoming a purple city means that the city is taking steps to make the community a friendly place for people with dementia through education to the public and businesses, training law enforcement and emergency responders how to recognize and deal with a person who has dementia, and so forth. It's about raising awareness and helping people to feel that they are not alone.

Crayon Group reports 47% increase in third-quarter revenue
(OSLO, Norway) – Crayon Group Holding ASA (OSE: CRAYON), released its third-quarter earnings today, which showed the digital transformation expert’s revenue increased by 47% to NOK 3.7 billion for the quarter.
It’s Crayon’s 11th consecutive record-breaking quarter and it had a gross profit increase to NOK 496 million, which is 26% higher than the same period last year. In fact, strong growth and profitability were reported across all its business areas, led by the channel business, which posted a 40% year-over-year growth.
“I am pleased with our third-quarter results, especially considering these challenging times,” said CEO Torgrim Takle. “We have seen increased growth and profitability across all of our market clusters, largely because our core strategy helps businesses optimize for success regardless of the market conditions.”
Organizations are increasingly turning to more digital solutions due to the rapid expansion of a “remote everything” world.
“We continue to see companies investing in technology and cloud solutions to improve business resilience and digital capability,” Takle said.
Crayon’s third quarter featured many highlights. One significant milestone was that its market cap exceeded 1 billion USD, making Crayon one of the few Norwegian companies to accomplish this feat.
“We have a solid business growth strategy that is reflected in our rapid global expansion and success,” Takle said.
Another example of that growth is Crayon’s software division which this quarter grew on average nearly three times faster than the market across its global locations. In addition, the company secured many new customers.
“These new customers not only had a positive impact on our results but further confirmed the longer-term value creation potential of our key strategic priorities such as optimizing organizations’ IT spend, artificial intelligence, and machine learning solutions, as well as multicloud environments,” Takle said.

Guest Mix Info
To celebrate his forthcoming track ‘Protected’, which forms part of our Dancing with Friends vol2 compilation, we’ve invited Glaswegian disco slicer Tiptoes into the guest mix series. Keep your eyes peeled later in the year for his Vinyl debut on the label, with a hi-nrg wax workout titled ‘Good Vibes Coming’…
“When I’m approaching a mix I always do loads of prep and digging and I usually like to make some kind of intro/spoken word thing to kick things off and set the context.
For this mix, I dug out a bunch of vinyl and a few older gems that I haven’t played in a while alongside some newer bits that I’ve been feeling. I always think a mix is a chance to shine a light on tracks that people may not have heard and are maybe less likely to hear when they’re out and about. There’s also the obligatory shameless self-promotion with a couple of my own tracks squeezed in there as well.
After all the prep when I finally get down to doing the mix I always record live in one take rather than layering up a bunch of tracks in a DAW and warping them to tempo as I like to feel the immediacy of the mix in its natural context rather than in a studio environment. Admittedly it’s not always quite as tidy this way but I prefer to give the listener that ‘’this was mixed live by an actual person’’ feeling.
Hopefully, this mix will find its way into a few living rooms, kitchens and afters as we all get back to clubs, normality and dancing with friends this summer, enjoy!” – Tiptoes x

When my parents moved into their new home last year, my dad approached me about the huge garden in the backyard that was being overrun with gigantic, beautiful sunflowers. He asked if I'd be interested in using it to grow even more food than what our backyard grow box could produce. Of course I jumped on that and have been working 3 days a week for the past month to get it ready for that blessed event- spring planting!
So...now when you hear me talk about the BIG garden (in my parent's backyard) and the SMALL garden (in my backyard), you'll know what I mean. Today, Kate and I ventured to the nursery and ended up with 110 plants! Yep, ya heard me right. 110 plants and that's not even including squash I still need to get. YAY!!
Of course, I have everything for my canned salsa- tomatoes, peppers, and onions. But, I'm also trying my hand at spinach, brussel sprouts, and broccoli. #sendmetips Dad and I transplanted about 12 raspberry plants from around their yard onto the side of the big garden and I bought 8 blackberry bushes to go with them. #jam
After planting, I walked into the house and flung myself on the couch next to my mom. She asked how I was doing, to which I replied "It's a lot of work. But, it's God's work." :) #butreally #plantlady #farmgirlatheart
What are you planting this year? Share with me, along with any tips you have on Instagram!

Prime Minister Boris Johnson won support for a snap election Tuesday when the House of Commons voted 438-20 to dissolve Parliament and launch a six-week election campaign that will compete with Christmas for the attention of a divided and Brexit-exhausted electorate.
However, the bill is still to be approved by the House of Lords but it could become law by the end of the week. Yet with the United Kingdom still locked in limbo, unable to complete its tortured three-year divorce from the European Union, the election is likely to become a proxy referendum on Brexit.
Camera IconBritish Prime Minister Boris Johnson gives a thumbs-up as he arrives back at 10 Downing Street after securing a December 12 election battle. Johnson and the Conservatives hope the election will give them a majority in parliament, which they lack now, helping them push ahead with the completion of Brexit.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "I have consistently said that we are ready for an election and our support is subject to a "no deal" Brexit being off the table". "This is a once in a generation chance to build a country for the many, not the few".
"It's time to unite the country and get Brexit done", Mr Johnson said following the House of Commons vote.
The Labour leader also said all 16-year-olds should have the right to vote, a call echoed by the SNP which also supports extending the franchise to include European Union nationals living in the UK.

She said that she is "pursuing all of our available legal options" in hopes of bringing him and the others involved to justice. Tom Emmer, who is chairman of the House GOP campaign arm, saying that Republicans "look forward to winning back this seat".
Over the weekend, the Lib Dems and the SNP had said they would table a one-line bill seeking to trigger a December 9 election, which would only require a simple majority of MPs to pass.
Brexit has variously worn out and enraged swathes of voters while eroding traditional loyalties to the two major parties, Johnson's Conservatives and Labour.
"A pre-Brexit pact with the Brexit Party won't happen all the time Nigel Farage insists the Conservatives pursue no deal, which won't happen", Baker said as quoted by the Daily Star. Johnson's version of the withdrawal agreement also did not win support in the House. "We don't know. Second, the election is as volatile as ever and, thirdly, the potential for tactical voting - and tactical voting to go wrong - is very high given the Leave-Remain split", he said.
Britons are exhausted and grumpy as they face the third major electoral event in as many years, after the country's 2016 European Union membership referendum and a 2017 election called by Johnson's predecessor Theresa May to try to boost the Conservatives' majority and strengthen her hand in negotiations with the EU.
Britain last had a December election in 1923. The centrist Liberal Democrats, who want to cancel Brexit, are wooing pro-EU supporters from the Conservatives and Labour in Britain's big cities and liberal university towns.
He told lawmakers in Parliament earlier Tuesday that there was no choice but "to go to the country to break free from this impasse".


White House says double child tax credit payments possible in February
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday said that the Biden administration is looking into the possibility of making double child tax credit payments in February if the president’s social spending package is enacted in January.
“If we get it done in January, we’ve talked to Treasury officials and others about doing double payments in February as an option,” Psaki said during a gaggle with reporters aboard Air Force One.
Psaki’s comments come as monthly child tax credit payments established under President Biden’s coronavirus relief law are set to expire at the end of the year. As part of the relief law, tens of millions of families received monthly payments from July to December of up to $300 per child under age 6 and up to $250 per child ages 6 to 17.
The White House and congressional Democrats want to extend the payments as part of a massive social spending and climate package. However, the bill is not on track to become law before the end of the year due to concerns from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). Democratic lawmakers have indicated that they don’t have a viable backup plan to extend the monthly payments before they expire.
Psaki said that Biden wants to see the social spending package advance “early next year.”
“The president wants to see this move forward. It’s a priority for him as soon as Congress returns,” she said.

Eight early and mid-staged concepts that have either just announced franchising or are expanding, from multiple plant-based burger chains to oversized pizzas
This quarter, the list of newly franchising restaurants is a tale of two extremes: both healthy, plant-based restaurants and indulgent, oversized foods reign supreme. Both represent Americans trying to navigate their dining out life post-pandemic, with a balance of vegetarian foods that are good for bodies and for the planet and comfort foods that they missed when they were cooped up during the pandemic.
We have rounded up eight early and mid-stage restaurant concepts that either just announced franchising or are looking to expand their roster of franchisees through a new program.
From two plant-based burger concepts to a pizza shop offering giant pies, take a look at who’s franchising now.

KIEV, July 22. /TASS/. The European Union (EU) has transferred the first €600 million tranche of macroeconomic financial assistance program worth the total of €1.8 billion, press service of the EU representative office in Ukraine said Wednesday.
The program is aimed at supporting economic stability in Ukraine, the report said.
On Tuesday, EU Ambassador to Kiev Jan Tombinski said the EU will continue providing technical and advisory assistance to Ukraine on its way to reforms.
The Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, passed a law on June 18 on ratifying the Memorandum of Mutual Understanding between Ukraine as the borrower and the European Union as the creditor and the Loan Agreement between Ukraine as the borrower, the Ukrainian National Bank as the borrower’s financial agent and the European Union as the creditor (on the EU’s financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of up to €1.8 billion).

New Thai PM open to talks with protesters
BANGKOK, Thailand - Thailand's new prime minister on Monday, May 12, offered talks with protesters trying to topple the government, as his political rivals pushed for the appointment of an unelected leader to take power.
"Let's talk. But let's talk realistically," he told foreign reporters, playing down fears that the country is teetering on the brink.
"I don't think there will be a civil war. It has been 6 months and we manage to run the country quite well," Niwattumrong said.
Opposition demonstrators are threatening to step up their 6-month campaign to overthrow the government.
But the government's supporters, known as the "Red Shirts,' say they will not tolerate any move to hand power to an unelected regime, warning it could lead to civil war.
The opposition protesters want the Senate – almost half of whose members are unelected – to remove the weakened cabinet, but it is unclear whether such a move is possible under the constitution.
The country has not had a functioning lower house since Yingluck dissolved parliament in December for elections that were later voided because of disruption by protesters.
Some members of the Senate held a meeting on Monday to seek a solution to the crisis.
Paiboon Nittitawan, an appointed senator and prominent government critic, urged the upper house to choose a new prime minister "immediately, for the sake of security and the economy".
"We cannot allow the crisis to drag on," he said.
Senate speaker-elect Surachai Liangboonlertchai told reporters before the talks that he would draft a "roadmap" out of the crisis as soon as possible but did not reveal his plan.
Fewer than 90 senators, out of a total of 150, attended the meeting amid questions about whether the upper house is entitled to hold a debate on the crisis in the present circumstances.
Thailand has been shaken by periodic bouts of political protests and street violence since Yingluck's elder brother Thaksin Shinawatra was deposed as premier by royalist generals in 2006.
The kingdom is bitterly divided between foes and supporters of the billionaire tycoon turned populist politician, who lives in Dubai to avoid jail for a corruption conviction.
At least 25 people have been killed in recent months in political violence often targeting opposition protesters.
Niwattumrong said he would hold talks with poll officials on Wednesday about a new general election scheduled for July 20, rejecting the opposition's demand to delay the vote until reforms have been introduced to tackle corruption. - Rappler.com

Siemens is extending its drive portfolio in the safety extra-low voltage range for DC/EC motors with 24 to 48 V by introducing a new servo drive system known as Simatic Micro-Drive. The new system offers scope for individual combination with UL-certified components and comprises the PDC (Profidrive Control) servo converter in conjunction with a flexible range of motors and connecting cables. Simple connection to Simatic controllers helps significantly reduce the engineering workload, while integration into Siemens automation technology over the TIA Portal makes for simple commissioning and servicing. Communication takes place over Profinet IRT using Profisafe und Profidrive profiles. The new saftey integrated function SLT (safely limited torque) restricts torque by monitoring motor current in running operation.
The integrated drive system comes in four different housing sizes for motor outputs of between 0.05 and 1 kilowatts. In each of the motor output versions, the 4-quadrant drive features an integrated disconnectible brake chopper, which enables regenerative braking during battery operation. All the system’s motion control functions are supplemented by additional controllers such as Simatic and Simotion. The STO, SS1, SLT, SLS and SSM safety integrated functions are included with the Simatic Micro-Drive F and FIO variants, while the SBC safety function only comes with the FIO variants. In operation, they use the safety I/Os of the FIO variants.
The TIA Portal can be used to activate every one of the safety functions.

U.S. brokerage sales in May were 2 percent lower than in the same month a year earlier as 3,586 boats were sold, yet they beat the five-year average for the month for the first time this year.
For April and May combined, sales were down 3 percent from 2014, but they improved incrementally by that measure from sales in the first quarter of the year, which were 4 percent lower, according to YachtWorld member yacht brokerages reporting in SoldBoats.com, their proprietary database. Through the first five months of this year, 11,919 boats were reported sold.
The total price paid for boats sold in May declined 10 percent, compared with the previous May, from $444.6 million to $400.4 million. The majority of the decline was attributable to lower sales of superyachts (boats 80 feet and larger), but the lead category driving prices higher in 2015 — boats 46 to 55 feet — also cooled in May, with unit sales down 4 percent and the total price paid level at $47.25 million. Whether the market is changing direction or it simply paused in May remains unclear.
On a year-to-date basis, market value was up strongly, from $1.47 billion to $1.63 billion. Superyachts (boats 80 feet and longer) were responsible for $114 million of that increase, and the total value of boats from 46 to 55 feet rose 17 percent, or $30 million, on sales of 714 boats, up from 651 boats in 2014.
Most other segments of the market gained in value for the year, as well, even the under-26-foot range, in which sales volume declined 6 percent, with 3,900 boats sold, yet the total value increased 3 percent, to $96.9 million. The exception was among 36- to 45-foot boats, where the total value declined by $18 million, or 5 percent, on a volume decrease of 94 boats, or 4 percent.
This month, we continue our study of the age of brokerage boats sold with a breakdown of ages of powerboats sold between April 2014 and March of this year (see graphic). Of 24,888 powerboats sold during that period, the largest number, 3,336, were 8 to 9 years old and more than one-third were 6 to 11 years old (8,926). More boats 12 to 17 years old were sold (5,610) than more recent models 5 years old or younger (4,221).
As we have noted in earlier articles, the available inventory was dramatically affected by decreased boatbuilding during recessions. The recent recession’s impact on sales of recent models is clearly evident in this graph and, to a lesser extent, so is the recession of the early ’90s.
Although a lack of inventory among recent models has visibly put the brakes on sales of recent-year models, as new building increases, brokers are taking advantage of the opportunity to sell more new and 1-year-old powerboats. As the bulk of boats listed continue to age, this trend seems bound to continue, although the higher prices of new and nearly new boats will be a limiting factor.

Moving beyond the gaming scenario, Epic Games is planning to expand its horizons in the entertainment arena. Reportedly, Epic Games is planning a Fortnite movie!
As reported on TheInformation, Epic is planning to launch an entertainment division that will be dealing with the “scripted video programming business”. Mathew Olson reported that as part of this push into the scripted video business, a Fortnite movie has already been discussed.
New from me + @jtoonkel:
Epic's assembling talent for a possible scripted entertainment division (think film and TV). A Fortnite movie has been discussed.
This could be a smart way for Epic to grow in the near-term while still moving toward the metaverse.https://t.co/HGDKXL9zKG

Fortnite: The Movie
This might signify Epic’s attempt at expanding its market reach. Just recently, their ability to expand in the mobile gaming market had a hiccup, courtesy of Apple.
- Whether or not the movie is a sure thing is still unknown. However, if it pushes through, it would be very interesting to see what aspects of the game would be in the movie.
- Fortnite has a pool of crossovers. So they might also imply this aspect of the game to the movie. Apart from this, it will be interesting to know about the plot of the movie itself.
- Another interesting aspect is the cast or the voice-actors. Just recently, the news of a Super Mario Movie remake with a celebrity cast caused mixed reactions from fans.
- With a load of crossover characters in Fortnite from recent movies from Marvel, DC, and others, it would be interesting to see if any of the actors who play them in the movies appear in the Fortnite movie.

Cloud top temperatures indicate the strength of the storm to forecasters. The colder the cloud top temperatures, the stronger the convection and uplift. When cloud top temperatures drop, as they did in Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) imagery captured on Sept. 23 at18:53 UTC (2:53 p.m. EDT) it indicates the storm is gaining strength.
TRMM data from Sept. 24 at 0159 UTC showed moderate to heavy rainfall (red) southwest of Matthew\'s center of circulation. The approximate center of circulation is shown by a red tropical storm symbol. Credit: NASA/SSAI, Hal Pierce
At that time, Matthew's maximum sustained winds were near 40 mph. In the image, the coldest cloud top temperatures (colder than -63 Fahrenheit) appeared around the center of Matthew's circulation already giving the appearance of an eye. The AIRS infrared image on Sept. 24 at 3:05 a.m. EDT showed a concentrated area of strong thunderstorms around Matthew's center as the sustained winds had increased to 50 mph.
AIRS has the ability to determine cloud top and sea surface temperatures from its position in space aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. Cloud top temperatures help forecasters know if a storm is powering up or powering down and Matthew is powering up.
A hurricane watch is in effect for Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua to Limon, Honduras including the offshore islands. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua to Limon, Honduras including the offshore islands.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua northward to the border with Honduras including the offshore islands and the coast of Honduras including the offshore islands. A tropical storm watch is in effect for the coast of Belize, while a hurricane watch is in effect for Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua to Limon, Honduras. Hurricane conditions are possible between 11 p.m. EDT tonight and 11 a.m. EDT Saturday in that watch area.
Tropical storm-force winds are expected to reach the coastal warning areas during the afternoon of Sept. 24, and a storm surge is expected to produce flooding and dangerous surf. Expected rainfall amounts of 6 to 10 inches are forecast with isolated amounts to 15 inches.
According to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, on the forecast track the center of the Matthew is expected to be near the Nicaragua/Honduras border late Friday or early Saturday morning then move over land in northern Honduras on Saturday. Updates on Matthew can be found at the National Hurricane Center's web page: www.nhc.noaa.gov.

For the second quarter in a row, Japan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) shrank, putting the country into a technical recession. With GDP expected to grow an annualized 2 percent between July and September, the 1.6 percent contraction came as a surprise. The consumption tax hike in April has lowered consumer spending, causing the economy to falter the last two quarters.
All of this recent news has made some people pretty pessimistic about the state of Japan’s economy and Abenomics, but things aren’t as bad as they seem.
Don’t get me wrong -- Japan sinking into a recession isn’t good. It was a miscalculation by the Abe administration that could unravel their entire economic growth program. But there are signs that the Japanese economy will be able to quickly recover from speed bump.
The Japanese government knew that the 3rd quarter GDP numbers weren’t looking hot, and already took measures to boost growth in the 4th quarter. At the end of October, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) decided to substantially ramp up its quantitative easing program, while the Government Pension Investment Fund announced that it would double its holdings of foreign stocks. BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda is determined to hit the 2 percent rate of inflation, and Abe and his allies has stressed that beating deflation is an essential piece of the government’s growth strategy.
It is also definite that Abe will postpone the October 2015 consumption tax hike, which will buoy the economy for the remainder of the year. He is currently postponing the hike until April 2017, but since he appears to be pretty open to delaying the increase until the economy has recovered, he might delay it even further or indefinitely. With the tax hike out of the picture in 2015, Japan’s growth estimates are going to look a lot rosier.
Plus, according to Finance Minister Akira Amari, the government may also implement some good old fashioned stimulus spending. Markets are already responding to the possibility of Japanese stimulus measures.
Recent figures show that the Japanese economy could already be heading towards a recovery, as retail sales and machinery orders are both on the rise. These illustrate that people are spending and manufacturers are preparing for a rise in demand -- both of which are solid signs of incoming growth.
With steps already being taken by the Abe administration, along with some upbeat figures, there are some economists who think that Japan will jump out of the recession by the end of the year. Tomo Kinoshita, an economist at Nomura Securities, believes that the economy is gradually improving and that there is “no reason to be pessimistic about the economy going forward.”
The tax hike hit the economy harder than the government may have thought it would, but that doesn’t mean Abenomics is and down and out. As long as 4th quarter growth shows a strong rebound, then all is not lost for Abe’s growth strategy. Now let’s hope Abe has a plan for implementing necessary structural reforms -- aka arrow numero 3.

More on “Helicopter Ben’s” latest airborne currency dump from John Steele Gordon:
And all this is storing up big trouble in the future. The Fed has increased its balance sheet enormously by buying up assets and, in effect, printing the money to pay for them. Getting that money back is going to be very, very difficult to accomplish without slowing the economy once again or setting off a nasty bout of inflation.
But then, see Timothy Lee at Forbes.com, who argues that Milton Friedman would approve of Bernanke’s moves:
Zero interest rates have fooled a lot of people, such as the Wall Street Journal editors, into thinking monetary policy is loose. But in reality, it’s been tight, as indicated by the below-target inflation rate.
Note also Friedman’s advice that Japan adopt quantitative easing “until the high powered money starts getting the economy in an expansion.” That’s the key difference between past rounds of quantitative easing—which involved fixed dollar amounts for limited periods of time—and yesterday’s open-ended commitment to buy assets until the economy recovers.
Lee may be right on the technical point of monetary policy, though I remain skeptical. But even if this is the right move, I’m equally sure Milton would be certain to add right now that this monetary aggressiveness wouldn’t be necessary if Obama’s hostility toward markets wasn’t so pronounced, and I’m sure he’d warn that this extra stimulus the Fed is making increases the risk of future inflation.
UPDATE: The Egan-Jones rating firm has just downgraded the U.S. by one half a notch. Nice going President Downgrade.

tci E/M Coding Alert - 2016 Issue 7
Dual-Provider Coding: Remember, Concurrent Care Cannot Address the Same Concern
Here’s the difference between ‘concurrent,’ ‘duplicative.’ If your physician performs an evaluation and management (E/M) service for a patient on the same day as another physician, you’ll need to know the rules of concurrent care to file your claim correctly. Nuts and bolts: Concurrent care occurs when two physicians perform separate E/Ms on the same patient on the same date of service. If the patient’s condition warrants the care of two (or more) physicians, you’ll both be able to code for individual E/Ms based on encounter notes. There are several factors...

Telemedicine involves using communication and electronic information technologies to provide and support healthcare when participants are separated by distance. In particular, it encompasses video chat and phone appointments in delivering medical care remotely. Telemedicine is beneficial since it simplifies access to specialists. In this respect, telemedicine’s impacts on patient-centered care include improved patient-provider relationships, increased patient data access, and affordability.
Improved Relationship Between Patients and Health Care Practitioners
Telemedicine has played a significant role in improving the connection between patients and medics. Telemedicine guarantees the maintenance of provider-patient relationships, ensuring continuity of care remotely (Andreadis et al. 2023, p. S85). In this respect, patient-centered care encourages patients to take an active role in their care. Hence, they require minimal attention from providers. However, healthcare practitioners require follow-up to ensure patients are on the right track of maintaining their health. Telemedicine provides an opportunity for patients and providers to have regular conversations. The discussions ensure that the parties build a strong relationship guaranteeing better patient health. A cohesive provider-patient relationship enhances the self-confidence in self-management of a patient. Therefore, telemedicine improves the patient-provider relationship, which is critical in enhancing adherence to patient-centered care.
For writing your paper, these links will be helpful:
Increased Access to Information
Telemedicine has impacted patient-centered care by increasing access to patient information. Telemedicine has contributed to using user-friendly devices to gather data and vitals that promote remote assessment (Barbosa et al. 2021, p. 467). In this case, it has enabled electronic health records to facilitate information sharing among various providers. Patients’ health data is significant to providers in understanding their progress, improving diagnosis, and developing new treatments. In this context, telemedicine ensures that healthcare systems create a holistic view of patients’ conditions and develop personalized treatment plans. In patient-centered care, telemedicine is significant since patients can access help from providers when they need it through the Internet. Providers collect critical information during the discussions to track a patient’s progress. Proper data storage ensures that if the patient requires medical attention, there is adequate information to make essential decisions. For instance, hub-and-spoke telestroke systems support real-time data and communication sharing between multiple community emergency departments and single tertiary care centers (Barbosa et al. 2021, p. 468). This approach ensures healthcare centers aid patients’ treatment management, especially those in remote areas. Therefore, telemedicine in patient-centered care has promoted data sharing, which makes it easy to access patients’ information for enhanced treatment.
Telemedicine has ensured the affordability of healthcare in patient-centered care, increasing people’s quality of life. For instance, telemedicine decreases costs by eliminating the necessity to travel to get particular clinical expertise (Alanazi, Al Hader & Hader 2022, p. 1). In particular, it reduces out-of-pocket payments, lowering healthcare expenses. The cost reduction guarantees healthcare services’ affordability, especially for low-income families. Cost decrease ensures patients involved in patient-centered care are more responsible and adhere to treatment plans due to affordability, ensuring most patients get better outcomes.
Telemedicine has impacted patient-centered care by enhancing affordability, promoting data sharing, and improving patient-provider relationships. Telemedicine ensures that patients make regular inquiries and get quick responses to maintain a provider-patient relationship. Besides, it encourages data storage and sharing, ensuring providers make informed decisions. In turn, telemedicine reduces costs in patient-centered care by cutting out-of-pocket payments, which provides the affordability of healthcare services.

Londoners are still trying to figure ways to get some time away from the four walls they have been staring at for the past year, an outdoor area where it would be safe to go.
While we remain in lockdown and travelling is not permitted, we are certainly adding up a number of places to visit once restrictions are lifted.
For those looking for a quieter life or perhaps a new place to explore, then Brightlingsea in Essex is the perfect town.
For more news and features about London directly to your inbox sign up to our newsletter here .
Compared to London which has an average of £660,754, moving to this quiet corner of Essex is very appealing.
Formerly an important fishing and shipbuilding town, Brightlingsea is only 10 miles away from the bustling Roman town of Colchester, with plenty of shops and rail links to London.
In fact, if you are searching for peace and quiet – if restrictions allow – the Tendring promenade will lead you to a long walk by the sea where you will contemplate the colourful beach huts.
The town is known for its sandy beaches and colourful beach huts which provide opportunities for a family day out or a romantic outing with your other half.
While there are not many amenities alongside the promenade, Bateman’s Cafe is the perfect quick stop to enjoy an ice cream in summer.
But if you are looking for something more proper and filling, you can always book a table at The Rosebud Pub & Seafood Restaurant, located off-centre.
Though, No1 Harbour Square, situated in front of a “picturesque view” one said, it will take you “places I have been abroad” said one person who moved recently to town.
MyLondon think this would be a lovely day out with your family or friends once restrictions are eased and trips are allowed again.

Drive there in just under two hours via the A12.


A couple of summer activities that slipped under our radar in last week’s blog post on the Seahawks 12 Tour and related player-driven football camps around the nation come from Seahawks punter Jon Ryan, who will host a charity golf tournament and kicking camp north of the border this week in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
For the sixth-year Seahawk Ryan, a native of Regina, SK, his inaugural golf tournament takes place tomorrow, June 20, at Regina’s Wascana Golf & Country Club. The event supports the Bob Ryan Scholarship Foundation – a fund Ryan and his brother Steve set up in their father’s name. The foundation offers financial aid to student athletes playing for the University of Regina Rams Football Club – Ryan’s alma mater – and also helps those in need of cancer care and treatment at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre.
Ryan will be joined at tomorrow’s tournament by fellow Seahawks in free safety Chris Maragos, tight end Sean McGrath, kicker Steven Hauschka, and long snapper Clint Gresham, as well as former Seahawks kicker Jeff Reed and stars from the Canadian Football League (CFL). For Ryan, the golf classic preludes his Saturday kicking camp to be held at the University of Regina’s Rams Field.
So if you’re strolling around the prairie province this week, Ryan encourages you to stop by and say hello to some of your Seahawks, as they enjoy what’s left of their five week break prior to the start of training camp in late July.

WOMEN civil servants were lobbying MPs today to complain about the "scandalous" 25% gender pay gap in Government departments.
The activists will urge politicians to help close the gap, which is much higher than the national average.
Janice Godrich, president of the Public and Commercial Services union, which organised today's lobby, said: "The gender pay gap in the civil service has actually increased by 3% to 25% in the last few years.
"Today's lobby is about highlighting this scandal and asking the Government to put its own house in order.
"For a Government which talks about tackling inequality, it's time it started to practice what it preaches among its workforce."

Thank you to Sarah and the wonderful children at her play group who had a go with this game. Sadly, due to low funds they couldn’t quite play as I’d suggested but played a simplified version of the activity. They look like they had lots of fun. If you run a playgroup and are low on funds, maybe asking the parents to save up scrap paper/card would help with the creative activities. How does you play group do it?
For playgroups or if you are having a party, this is a perfect little game. As well as providing a creative activity to do during the play/party, it also allows for a way to end the session/party with a game that can be played all together. Chanting the colours as mentioned in the ‘invitation to play;’ is also an excellent way to reinforce the colour names in a fun, exciting way.
Natasha asked our playgroup to make this game and play it as a group. Firstly we got the children to paint 6 paper plates different colours, discussing the colours as we did. We also wanted to stick coloured feathers etc on to the same coloured plate, but being a non profit playgroup all our money had gone on the Halloween party!
The kids loved this game as it was a brilliant excuse to run around and show off their colour knowledge. We found that the younger children were finding it easier to find colours the more we played as well. The simplicity of the game made it usable for a wide range of ages!
After playing this for over 15 minutes (the kids would have carried on for a lot longer) we had to tidy up! We will definitely be using this game again in playgroup as its both fun and educational. Thank you Natasha 🙂
Again, thank you Sarah for lovely write up and photos. If you are interested in being a Precious Play Pal, email email@example.com

Green Square Tripoli
Green Square, Tripoli, the area east of the Old Castle Fort and Museum, is where people have traditionally gathered for celebrations, parades, marches and protests.
The largest American military cemetery in Afria is in Tunisia, the site of the first protests that seem to be happening across the North African continent and Middle East, with long established regimes falling like dominos.
If the popular insurections that have forced a change in power in Tunisia and is rocking Egypt spreads to other Arab countries, protests could occur in Libya. Although such protests against the Quadafi regime would proably begin in Bengazi, where hunger strikes have begun, if they occur in Tripoli, they will most likely be held at Green Square.
Green Sqaure, besides being the most popular place for people to gather and protest in Tripoli, is also where the remains of Lt. Richard Somers, Lt. Henry Wadsworth, Lt. Israel and eight men of the USS Intrepid are burried.
If such protests occur in Tripoli, they will most likely be held right at the gravesite of these American heroes.

This neat fellow is the closest thing I know to Photoshop. I love Photoshop, but it is too expensive for an amateur designer who only wants a quick fix :p
Anyway, the video follows all the steps to create the simple header you see below.
It is simple, but you can be as creative as you want.
If you have any questions, let me know in the comments.

African American Literature, black feminism, sex work, prostitution, sexual labor
This thesis provides a close reading of Ann Petry’s The Street (1946) and Louise Meriwether’s Daddy Was a Number Runner (1970) by analyzing how these two black women authors wrote about sex work and black women sex workers in their novels. Black women writers in the mid-twentieth century were reluctant to write about black women’s sexuality as a result of discourses of racial uplift that rejected the white supremacist stereotype of the hypersexual black woman. While not the focus of their novels, the inclusion of sex workers in their fictional narratives provide a complicated representation of a particular form of black women’s labor experience within the segregated urban environments of 1930s and 1940s Harlem. Black women’s participation in the urban sexual economy during the twentieth century is often ignored and rejected because of the history of forced sexual exploitation and violence inflicted on enslaved black women during slavery. These two novels reveal the impact that institutionalized racism, segregation and discrimination had on the economic opportunities of urban black communities, focusing on black women whose options lay within domestic labor and sex work. This analysis reveals the nuances behind black women’s paid sexual labor and its importance in academic literary criticism.

Every generation faces its own challenges. And the challenges we faced in our youth color how we view present-day challenges.
My granddaughter will be 14 in a few days. I sent her a card (and cash!) today, saying that she timed her entry into high school next fall quite well, since the Covid crisis should be mostly over by then.
I feel for high school students who have had their lives disrupted by the pandemic for over a year. This will be an enduring memory for them, no doubt.
Being a senior citizen, I'm well aware that tales of the Old Days don't mean a whole lot to young people today. Assuming, of course, that they even read blog posts like this one -- a highly dubious assumption.
Nonetheless, I feel like taking a trip down memory lane into my own high school years.
After all, who knows how long my memories will be intact? At some point I might need this blog post to remind myself.
So here goes my attempt at You think you have it tough, young 'uns, let me tell how it was way back when in 1962-66.
I lived in Three Rivers, California, on the other side of the Sierra Nevada mountains from, no big surprise, Nevada.
The last above-ground nuclear test in Nevada was July 17, 1962, soon after I graduated from eighth grade. Sometimes we didn't get milk at elementary school lunch time because radioactivity had seeped into the grass California cows ate.
Few people worried about what the above-ground tests were doing to people. After all, we had the damn Soviet Union Communists to worry about.
I and an eighth grade friend published our elementary school newspaper, mimeographed, of course. We polled our classmates about whether a nuclear war was imminent. Most students thought a war was going to happen soon.
Fallout shelters were common. Nowadays in Oregon we worry about ducking and covering from an earthquake. Back then, we practiced doing this for a hydrogen bomb attack.
Then came the Cuban Missile Crisis at the beginning of my freshman year in high school. The Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. Newly elected President John F. Kennedy managed to barely avoid war with the Soviet Union.
But Kennedy was unable to avoid being assassinated on November 22, 1963, my sophomore year in high school. Without warning, the 500 or so students in Woodlake Union High School were summoned to an assembly.
We were told President Kennedy had been shot. It was a somber bus ride home. A few days later, Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who killed Kennedy, was himself murdered by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner.
On the plus side, the Beatles came to the United States on February 7, 1964. On the negative side, boys in my high school were forbidden to have Beatles haircuts with longish hair. (Some tried, though.)
Girls couldn't wear pants. They took Home Economics. Boys took Shop. No mingling of the sexes in these classes. Homosexuality was never mentioned in class, since it was viewed as an illegal perversion back then.
Yesterday I saw a mention of the 1965 Voting Rights Act on MSNBC. I don't recall any classroom discussion of it, nor of the blatant discrimination against Blacks in southern states that was still common in the '60s.
By the time I graduated from high school in 1966, the Vietnam War was going strong. I'd always planned to go to college, but getting a student deferment from being drafted was an additional inducement to head off to San Jose State College.
When the draft lottery came along in 1969, I was fortunate to have my birthdate come up far enough along in the lottery to avoid being drafted.
So, yeah, my high school years were interesting, for sure. Also, stressful. I'm not saying my high school experience was more interesting or stressful than what young people are going through today.
Just different. Remember what's happening to you, high schoolers of 2021, so you can write about what things were like back then some fifty-odd years later, as I just did.
