Everyone knows that the holidays are a time for visiting out of town friends and family. If you are a caregiver to someone with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), you may be wondering about whether to embark on a road trip this year. Just because you’re caring for an elderly loved one doesn’t mean you have to cancel the yearly tradition. With a little planning, you can still get away and everyone can have an enjoyable time.
Before cementing holiday travel plans, be sure to consult with your physician to discuss any physical or mental impairment that may limit your loved one’s ability to travel. Let the doctor know how far you will be going, the mode of travel and amount of time you plan to spend away from home. Ask about any medications for anxiety that may be helpful and be sure to get prescriptions filled before leaving town.
If you are driving, consider renting a mini-van which can provide easier access to getting in and out of the vehicle as well as more room for the wheel chair, walker, and/or other medical supplies.
If you plan to fly for the holidays, be sure to remember to request special seating for traveling with disabled travelers. Advise airport and/or hotel staff of any special dietary needs your loved one has as well. Even if your loved one is able to walk short distances, it may be a good idea to request a wheel chair in the airport to accommodate long distance walking that is common when flying. If you plan to stay in a hotel room; request the first floor for ease of access to the room.
Consider decreasing the number of days and limiting the usual activities you normally engage in when traveling with a loved one with AD-allowing for frequent periods of rest. Be sure that every destination can accommodate his/her needs when it comes to wheel chair access, diet and more.
It’s a good idea to pack all the essential equipment to provide for comfort and safety when your loved one must sit for long periods of time such as TED Hose (supportive anti-embolism stockings), cushions and pillows for comfort an emergency first aid kit. Don’t forget to bring your loved one’s medical history along in case of an urgent health issue that arises while you are out of town. Other items to pack include: sunscreen, hats, and plenty of water along with healthy snacks.
For traveling with loved ones with dementia:
Stick to the normal daily routine as much as possible regarding mealtime, bedtime, etc.
Bring along some familiar belongings to help reduce confusion about being in a new environment
Here are some other tips for traveling with a friend or family member with Alzheimer’s disease:
Communicate clearly and explain as much as your loved one can understand about where you are going and what you will be doing on your holiday trip
Avoid overloading your loved one with too much information
Attempt to avoid visiting places with large crowds of people and a high noise level
Observe your loved one with AD closely for signs of anxiety and agitation while traveling
Find a quiet place to wind down if you do observe anxiety in your loved one with AD
Plan to be settled in your hotel room or travel destination by sun down, particularly if your loved one has symptoms of Sundowners Syndrome
Don’t overload your loved one with too many activities or too many hours of travel in one day

A narrow, tree-lined gravel road that leads to the Log House Landing boat launch on the St. Croix River is going to stay narrow and tree-lined, but the road and an adjacent parking lane on the north side will be paved.
The Scandia City Council on Tuesday night approved the Log House Landing committee’s recommendation that the road be paved and be 13 feet wide but went against the committee’s recommendation that the parking lane remain gravel.
City staff had recommended a 20-foot-wide paved road.
“I am certainly pleased that the council approved a narrower driveway that will allow for the preservation of the original contour of the road,” said Pam Plowman Smith, a committee member and a spokeswoman for Friends of Log House Landing. “But our committee does not feel that paving the additional parking lane is wise. We hope to continue discussions.”
The advisory committee, which was appointed by the council in October, consisted of representatives from the city council, planning commission, Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District, St. Croix River Association and the public.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Carnelian-Marine Watershed District still must sign off on the plans, said City Administrator Kristina Handt. If both of those agencies approve and help fund the plan, construction could start in late July or early August, she said.
“The city looks forward to implementing this compromise proposal to protect the St. Croix River and continue to provide public access to it,” Handt said. The city began discussing the improvements last year and announced a controversial plan to spend $400,000 to widen and pave the road, install a concrete boat ramp, build retaining walls and plant vegetation. The DNR would have paid half the cost.
City officials said the work was needed to improve traffic flow and halt erosion; opponents said the changes would be too severe and disturb the environment.

U2 – The Refugee
August 3, 2020
In 1976, drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. posted a note on a school bulletin board in Ireland that would bring Paul Hewson (Bono), David Evans (The Edge), and Adam Clayton to his house in an effort to start a new band. While a few friends and family also showed up to play, it wasn’t long before the others dropped away, leaving a four-piece rock band that was ready to conquer the world.
U2 would release their first album, Boy, in the fall of 1980. Audiences and critics across the US and Europe took note of the band, praising the record and becoming enthralled by their passionate performances. The momentum of the band would be interrupted by a number of problems crafting their follow-up album, October, but by the end of 1982, U2 was ready to record their biggest record yet. Featuring iconic tracks — including “New Year’s Day” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday” — War brought the band even more acclaim and bigger audiences. The accompanying live record and concert film from the tour, Under a Blood Red Sky, cemented their prowess as a live act.
Interestingly, “The Refugee” never made its way into U2’s live sets. The song is a powerful track that encapsulates many of U2’s common themes of finding a home and solace and the hopeful symbol of America as a promised land that seems perfectly crafted for live performance. Listeners can imagine Bono engaging the crowd during Mullen’s extended drum parts and then leading the audience into singing along with lyrics that tell of a woman yearning for freedom and peace.
Scott and Jason share their love/hate relationship with U2, particularly its lead singer, Bono. While they agree that U2 are undeniably an important band with many great tracks, they discuss the band’s inconsistent output, particularly after The Joshua Tree, and their increasingly ostentatious staging that makes it difficult to take the band and its music seriously.

CEA-608 captions, also known as Line 21 captions, were the standard for analog television broadcasts. CEA-608 captions are embedded in the television signal and hidden in line 21 of the vertical blanking interval (VBI). CEA-608 captions become visible when the consumer activates a decoder, either built into the television or existing separately as a set-top box. CEA-608 captions appear in white font on a black, boxed background. Many languages may be excluded from CEA-608 captioning entirely as not all alphabetical characters are supported.
CEA-708 captions are the standard for digital television broadcasts, whether in standard definition or high definition. As digital television does not have VBI, CEA-708 captions are placed into MPEG-2 video streams in the picture user data. A consumer with a digital television featuring a built-in decoder may choose to view the closed captions in any of eight different fonts, three different font sizes, and 64 different colors of font and background, thus customizing the caption display. CEA-708 captions also have the advantage of supporting Unicode characters, allowing the captioning of most all of the world’s languages. CEA-708 captioning allows for more flexible placement of captions. CEA-608 captions may also be transported through CEA-708.
PLEASE NOTE: Up-converted 608 captions are not “True 708 Captions” and cannot take advantage of any of the new 708 caption features, such as multiple fonts and styles, multiple windows, or Unicode character support. CompuScripts Captioning delivers true 708 captions.

Frequently, when I encourage operators to consider the loads their systems serve, as I did
in my previous post, I’m asked how someone who is not trained in design can go about doing that. I often suggest that they apply rules of thumb and there are a number of great resources out there on this topic. One of my favorites, appropriately titled HVAC
Equations and Rules of Thumb is illustrated below.
If you take a minute to browse through the table of contents you will discover that the handbook contains nearly 800 pages of useful information if you are in the HVAC business, especially when a used copy can be had for under $20.
Another favorite of mine is the ASHRAE Pocket Handbook. This little gem really will fit in
your back pocket and can be a valuable reference for countless useful pieces of information, like duct or piping friction rates, properties of materials, and in the context of our
current discussion, load check figures, as illustrated below.
In fact the handbook contains the information needed to take your load estimate one step further by including all of the basic information you need to do a manual load calculations using the Cooling Load Temperature Differential (CLTD) method including an outline of the steps in the procedure, the necessary equations, and where the required information can be found in the guide, as illustrated below.
New copies of the handbook can be obtained for under $40 if you are an ASHRAE
member. I have seen used copies for under $15 in used book stores and
on-line, especially the earlier (pre-2005) editions. Given that the rules behind physics
haven’t changed much lately, an older version will probably do just fine.
An important caution regarding using rules of thumb and techniques like the CLTD method; in contrast with modern load calculation programs used by experienced practitioners, they are at best approximations and should generally not be used as the basis for selecting equipment. But, as a technique to get a feel for what you think might be going on in your system or make a first pass assessment of what the load might be as you begin a design or acquisition process, they can serve you well, as they have in my career.

Ascent of Seacliff State Beach High Point on 2016-01-10
|Date:||Sunday, January 10, 2016|
|Ascent Type:||Successful Summit Attained|
|Peak:||Seacliff State Beach High Point|
| Elevation:||105 ft / 32 m|
Ascent Trip ReportThis park highpoint is in the upper parking lot. You need to take State Park Drive off of Highway 1. You can park outside the park on Santa Cruz Avenue along a fence. We walked into the parking lot noticing a few RVs setup. We talked to the camp host and she stated the beach was washed out and the pier was unsafe. So all the campers were moved up to the day use parking lot. We found the HP near the gate to the park service area. We did walk to the edge of the cliffs and noticed a steel fence protruding through the sand. We were told that the fence was built in 1920 to keep the sand from washing away. Well...the storms took the sand anyway almost 100 years later. Enjoy the views here.

Nana Patekar Climbs Mountain In Kedarnath At 72 For A Movie Shoot; Watch!
Bollywood actor Nana Patekar has been in Uttarakhand for the past few days shooting for his upcoming Marathi film. Recently, the actor climbed the mountain with actor Vipul Mehta. The director took to his social media handle and shared a video with his fans.
In the video, the director-actor duo is seen shivering while talking and looking at the camera. They are seen fully covered with sweaters, caps, and hand gloves. “Yes, we are here for a shooting”, said the director in the video. Later, he shifted the camera to Nana who expressed his joy as he climbed the mountain at the age of 72.
Mehta captioned it, “Shooting at Kedarnath …. We climbed to bhairavnath and went ahead to shoot … with great actor nana Patekar.” Many netizens left their reactions in the comments section with red heart and fire emoticons.
Nana Patekar and Vipul Mehta seemed to be very happy after climbing the mountain in Kedarnath. They are excited about the shooting. Nana Patekar might be 72 years old but he looks young as he climbed the mountain.
The veteran Bollywood actor also met Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Saturday. Patekar told, “The natural beauty of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand is perfect for shooting films, the environment for filming movies is suitable. The people of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand are extremely sweet and gentle, there is gentleness in the behaviour of the people here.” He continued, “I had a good experience shooting the film in ‘Devbhoomi’ Uttarakhand. Also, I want to build a house in Uttarakhand.”


Developing advanced laser mapping technology
Zebedee is a handheld laser scanner that creates 3D maps of difficult environments in the time it takes to walk through them. It doesn't rely on GPS, making it suitable for a range of scientific and commercial applications. CSIRO's Data 61 partnered with global company 3D Laser Mapping to license Zebedee to UK start-up GeoSLAM, offering a low-cost cloud-based 3D mapping service for business and industry.
Producing reliable 3D maps can be a useful tool for industrial applications. For example, manufacturers can map components on a production line and track their progress to improve efficiency and flow. Up until now creating these 3D laser maps quickly, reliably and in any environment has been a major challenge for business and industry. Most mapping solutions require expensive laser scanners and skilled engineers to survey the environment. Some won’t work accurately in areas with a poor GPS signal.
Data 61 and 3D Laser Mapping sought to solve this problem by offering the world's first mobile handheld laser mapping system together with a cloud-based 3D mapping service to the international market. Zebedee consists of a lightweight laser scanner and inertial measurement unit. It enables a user to generate a 3D map simply by walking through a desired location. The laser scanner rocks back and forward on a spring scanning the environment, while a battery pack and laptop for recording and uploading the 3D map data is stored in a lightweight backpack.
Through its commercialisation, the Zebedee system is now reaching users all over the world. It is being used by more than 25 multinational organisations for efficiency and productivity gains. Zebedee is being used for mapping mines, heritage sites, and crime scenes. Our partnership with 3D Laser Mapping has made the technology more accessible and has the potential to dramatically increase the use of 3D mapping across the globe.

A juicy cassis driven expression of a Cabernet Sauvignon
Citrus and gentle floral aromas lead to a very fresh and zippy palate with crisp green apple and lightly honeyed characters. A refreshing and approachable style of fizz – yet with texture and depth underlying the bright fruit.
The Durello grape is local to the Veneto region – grown on the volcanic hillsides of Monti Lessini, between Verona and Vicenza. The name of the grape refers to the small, late-maturing berries (duro = hard). Durello's naturally high acidity and cool, hillside vineyards produce complex, long lived wines to rival Italy's finest sparklers. Production of Durello Spumante is mostly in the hands of a few small growers, traditionally producing bottle fermented wine with up to six years on lees. However, the variety is also well-suited to the production of fresh, zesty tank method wines such as this – aged for two to three months on lees.

The Secret Beauty of Coral Aloe: A Unique Succulent for Your GardenIn the world of succulents, there is one particular species that stands out with its striking and vibrant appearance - the Coral Aloe. This unique succulent, scientifically known as Aloe striata, is a beautiful addition to any garden with its succulent and coral-like leaves.
It belongs to the Aloe genus, which comprises over 500 plant species known for their healing and ornamental properties. However, the Coral Aloe is distinct from the rest, not just in terms of its beauty, but also its unique features, behavior, and use WebPolicial.Net.
Let's take a closer look at the Coral Aloe and uncover its hidden beauty and intriguing characteristics.
Reproduction: Through Offsets (Pups)Like most Aloe plants, the Coral Aloe also reproduces through offsets or "pups." These are small clones of the parent plant that grow at the base of the main stem. As the pups mature, they develop their own roots and can be separated from the parent plant to grow independently.
This method of reproduction ensures that the Coral Aloe, and other Aloe species, can easily multiply and propagate. It is also a survival mechanism, as pups can continue to grow even if the parent plant dies. This allows the species to thrive and spread in its natural habitat.
Behavior: N/AIn terms of behavior, the Coral Aloe does not exhibit any significant patterns or characteristics. However, it is known to be a resilient plant, able to adapt to harsh environmental conditions Croton. Its succulent leaves and fibrous roots allow it to survive in drought-prone areas, making it a suitable species for xeriscaping.
Conservation Status: Not ListedThe Coral Aloe is not listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, which means that it is not considered under threat of extinction. This is good news for succulent enthusiasts and gardeners, as they can easily grow this unique plant in their gardens without any environmental concerns.
Use: Ornamental PurposesOne of the main uses of the Coral Aloe is for ornamental purposes. Its succulent leaves with coral edges make it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes. The plant's unique color and texture add a touch of beauty and sophistication to any outdoor space. It can also be grown in containers, making it a versatile option for balconies and indoor areas.
Unique Features: Succulent Leaves with Coral EdgesThe most distinctive feature of the Coral Aloe is its succulent leaves with coral edges. The leaves are thick, fleshy, and triangular-shaped, ranging in color from pale green to bluish-green. As the name suggests, the edges of the leaves have a coral-like texture, with shades of pink, orange, or red, depending on the plant's growing conditions.
These succulent leaves not only add to the plant's aesthetic appeal but also serve as a survival mechanism. They store water, allowing the plant to withstand long periods of drought. This makes the Coral Aloe a perfect plant for areas with hot and dry climates.
Interesting Facts: Attracts Birds and ButterfliesApart from its unique appearance, the Coral Aloe also has another interesting trait - it attracts birds and butterflies. Its tubular flowers, which bloom during late winter to early spring, produce nectar that is a favorite food source for these winged creatures.
This makes the Coral Aloe not just a beautiful addition to your garden but also a great way to support local wildlife. By planting it, you are providing a source of food for birds and butterflies, helping to maintain a healthy and diverse ecosystem.
Type of Photosynthesis: Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)One of the unique features of Aloe plants, including the Coral Aloe, is their type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). Unlike most plants that conduct photosynthesis during the day, Aloe plants do so at night.
During the day, the stomata or pores on the leaves stay closed to prevent water loss, which is crucial in hot and dry climates. At night, the stomata open to take in carbon dioxide, which is then converted into food and stored in the fleshy leaves. This allows the plant to conserve water during the day and use it efficiently at night.
Type of Root: Fibrous RootsThe Coral Aloe has fibrous roots, which means they are thin, numerous, and spread out in all directions. These roots allow the plant to absorb water and nutrients from a large area, making it more resilient to drought and heat.
Moreover, the fibrous roots also help the plant to anchor itself firmly in the soil, preventing it from being easily uprooted. This makes the Coral Aloe a suitable plant for gardens and landscapes with strong winds and heavy rainfall.
Maximum Height: Up to 2 FeetThe Coral Aloe is a relatively small plant, usually growing up to 2 feet in height. This makes it an ideal choice for gardens and landscapes with limited space. Its compact size also makes it a great plant for containers and small pots, allowing you to bring a touch of coral-like beauty to any indoor or outdoor space.
Climate Zone: 10-12The Coral Aloe is native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, which has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate. This makes it suitable for growth in climate zones 10-12, where the temperatures rarely drop below freezing.
However, with proper care and protection, the Coral Aloe can also thrive in other climate zones, making it a versatile and adaptable plant. It can survive in both hot and cold temperatures, as long as it is not exposed to extreme conditions for an extended period.
Soil Type: Well-Draining SoilLike most succulents, the Coral Aloe prefers well-draining soil that is light, sandy, and nutrient-rich. This type of soil allows for proper drainage, preventing waterlogging, which can cause root rot. If grown in heavy or clayey soil, the plant's roots may struggle to access oxygen, inhibiting growth and potentially causing the plant to wilt.
Ecological Role: Provides Shelter for Small AnimalsApart from its decorative purposes, the Coral Aloe also plays an important ecological role in its natural habitat. Its thick, fleshy leaves provide shelter for small animals and insects, allowing them to take refuge from harsh environmental conditions.
The Coral Aloe is also a host plant for the Aloe crab, a species of small crustaceans that live within the leaf bases of the Aloe plant. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the plant and the crab, as the crab eats dead leaves and helps to keep the plant clean and healthy.
Type of Reproduction: AsexualThe Coral Aloe reproduces asexually, primarily through offsets or pups, as mentioned earlier. However, it can also reproduce through cuttings, where the fleshy stem is cut and propagated with proper care. This method of reproduction allows for genetic cloning, producing identical plants that have the same characteristics as the parent plant.
Flowering Season: Late Winter to Early SpringThe Coral Aloe produces tubular flowers that bloom from late winter to early spring. The colors of the flowers can range from pale pink to deep orange, and they are known to attract birds and butterflies with their nectar. After the flowering season, the plant may produce seeds, but it mainly propagates through offset growth.
Water Requirements: Low to ModerateBeing a succulent, the Coral Aloe has low to moderate water requirements. It is best to water the plant when the topsoil is dry to the touch, and then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering can cause the plant's leaves to become mushy and yellow, while underwatering can cause the leaves to shrink and become crinkly.
It is also essential to water the plant at the base rather than from above, as wetting the leaves can cause fungal and bacterial diseases. This watering method also mimics the natural rainfall patterns in the Coral Aloe's native habitat.
The Coral Aloe: A Perfect Fit for Your GardenIn summary, the Coral Aloe is more than just a beautiful succulent with striking coral-like leaves. Its unique features, behavior, and use make it an invaluable addition to any garden or landscape.
Whether you are a succulent lover, a gardener, or someone looking for a low-maintenance and visually stunning plant, the Coral Aloe is a perfect fit for your needs. And, with proper care and maintenance, it can thrive and add a touch of beauty to your outdoor space for many years to come.

Ray Wilkins says he wants to stay on as Jordan coach but did not discount the prospect of working in Australian football following his team's exit from the Asian Cup.
Addressing the media after a 2-0 loss to Japan at Melbourne's AAMI Park on Tuesday, Wilkins admitted his chances of earning a contract extension will be hampered by his poor record at the helm of Jordan's national team.
Their 5-1 victory over lowly Palestine at the same venue four days earlier has been Wilkins' only victory to date since taking control on a short-term deal in September.
Asked what was next as far as his Jordan future is concerned, the former Chelsea, AC Milan and Manchester United player said: "I've no idea."
Wilkins' rapport with Jordanian Football Association president Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein is believed to have sealed the ex-England international a first head coaching role since his time in charge of Fulham in 1998.
And it looks like that will also be the key factor in determining whether or not Carlo Ancelotti's former Chelsea assistant will remain in the Middle East.
"I would love to stay. I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience, it's been first class. But that's entirely up to Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein and I will speak with Prince Ali when I arrive back in Jordan.
"Unfortunately my record's not the best. In actual fact it's pretty poor. I don't know whether I'll go down as the worst Jordan coach in history, but I've certainly given it a blast to try and make it work."
Wilkins has earned plenty of admirers during his team's stay in Australia, prompting journalists to ask if coaching an A-League team would be of interest to the 58-year-old.
"It's always very pleasant (being in Australia)," he said.
"But I've got to say, if I was offered to stay in Jordan then I would say in Jordan.
"But that would be very pleasant. It's always nice to work. No matter where you're working, it's always nice to be involved with young men because I think it keeps you young.
"Apart from the hairline I feel very young and youthful. And I feel full of energy. I want to work."

Democrats reject short-term deal ahead of unemployment deadline
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said on Thursday night that Democrats rejected a short-term deal as negotiators remain at loggerheads over the next coronavirus relief bill.
“We made a proposal for a short-term deal. And as of now they’ve repeated they don’t want to do that,” Mnuchin told reporters after a nearly two-hour meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Meadows.
Mnuchin declined to say what the administration offered during the meeting, which was the fourth time the group has met in as many days. But Meadows subsequently tweeted that they offered a “temporary extension of needed unemployment assistance.”
“The proposals we made were not received warmly,” Meadows told reporters at the Capitol.
Trump and his chief of staff indicated just hours before the meeting that they were hoping to get Democrats to agree to a smaller deal on just two issues: unemployment benefits and preventing evictions.
“I think probably trying to resolve the enhanced unemployment issue, obviously,” Meadows said, when asked about the goal for the meeting. “And so we want to go ahead and … address the eviction provisions that hopefully will keep people from being evicted from the homes, at least through the end of the year, on both of those things.”
Trump homed in on evictions while speaking from the White House saying that, “we’re asking Democrats to work with us to find a solution that will temporarily stop evictions.”
But any attempt to get a short-term or pared-down bill was all but guaranteed to be rejected by Pelosi and Schumer, who have remained united during the days-long talks.
Democrats have repeatedly said they do not want a short-term deal or a smaller bill.
The stalemate comes as the $600-per-week federal unemployment benefit will expire Friday. With the Senate leaving town until Thursday, and negotiators nowhere close to a deal, they were all but guaranteed to miss the deadline.
Democrats, emerging from the closed-door meeting, accused the White House of trying to make a piecemeal deal that did not meet the crisis sparked by the spread of the coronavirus, which has devastated the economy and killed more than 152,000 Americans, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
“We had a long discussion. And we just don’t think they understand the gravity of the problem. The bottom line is this is the most serious health problem and economic problem we’ve had in a century and 75 years and it takes really, good, strong bold action, and they don’t quite get that,” Schumer told reporters.
Asked if they made progress on anything in the meeting, Schumer noted that they talked about “parameters.” And Pelosi specified that she thought that Meadows and Mnuchin “understand that we have to have a bill.”
“They just don’t realize how big it has to be,” Pelosi added.
The four are expected to talk again Friday, likely by phone, and then meet Saturday.
The meeting came after the Senate blocked dueling coronavirus-relief proposals on Thursday.
Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) tried to pass a bill that would have provided, when state and federal assistance were combined, a match of two-thirds of a person’s previous wage. The federal benefit would have been capped at $500 per week. If a state could not implement the wage match, it would have been a flat $200-per-week federal benefit.
But Schumer blocked the bill. Democrats then tried to pass the House’s roughly $3 trillion bill but it was blocked by Republicans.
Democrats also blocked a one-week extension of the $600 per week benefit.
Meadows told reporters that Trump would have supported extending the current federal benefit at its current level for one week. Under the CARES Act, the original legislation that included the unemployment increase, the benefits are scheduled to formally expire on Friday.
However, because of the calendar and how many states send out benefits, they began to expire July 25. And with the Senate out of town until Monday, even if the four negotiators had reached an agreement there still would have been a lapse of the additional unemployment benefit.
Asked on Thursday night about the offer of a one-week extension, Pelosi asked “what is a one-week extension good for?”
“A one-week extension is good if you have a bill and you’re working it out, the details, the writing of it, legislative counsel, the Congressional Budget Office, Rules Committee,” she said.
“That’s what a one-week extension is about. That is, it’s worthless. It’s worthless unless you are using it for this purpose,” she added.


Belgian start-up ‘electrifies’ iconic Mercedes roadster
Converting a ‘Euro-0’ six or eight-cylinder Mercedes SL roadster into a swift ‘zero-emission’ electric vehicle with even better performances; it’s the core business of the Liège-based Belgian start-up Monceau Automobiles. Start dreaming if you have 159 000 euros (ex VAT) to spare. After summer, the first demo models will be ready. Preordering is opened.
Moncea Automobiles is the brainchild of the former CEO of green electricity provider Lampiris, Tom Van de Cruys, and co-founder Roel Pollen who runs the company. Van de Cruys, a Mercedes passionate, was looking for ‘an electric car with a character’, he told Aftersales magazine.
In love with classic Mercedes
“I was in love with the classic Mercedes models for a long time, and I wanted a performance car with little maintenance needs. Those ingredients led to an exclusive project, and ultimately to the investment in a unique start-up.”
A small number of (exclusive) manufacturers is already offering electric versions of its old-timer icons (Jaguar with the E-Type, Aston Martin…). There are specialized conversion companies too, like Zelectric, Ruf, and the Dutch company Voitures extravert. It is becoming a rather expensive ‘plan B for the vintage car owner’ to make it electric and avoid Low Emission Zone restrictions.
W107 roadster and coupe
Belgian Monceau Automobiles wants to focus on Mercedes, starting with the iconic R107 SL roadster and its SLC coupe version, which was built between 1971 and 1989. Later, its predecessor, the ‘Pagode’ W113, and the W111 SE models will follow.
With 18 years of production without significant facelifts, and 237 000 of them produced, the Mercedes W107 series features one of the longest-lasting models of the German carmaker, together with the G-Class.
Ideal donor car
Its popularity during these years, and the fact that many of them are still driving around, make it an interesting ‘donor car’. Especially in Belgium where there is, for instance, a specific ‘107 Club’ with more than 230 actual owners.
Nowadays, this iconic Mercedes roadster is imported massively from the United States, the primary market for the Mercedes roadsters, where the model was even more popular. The model range extended from the 2.8 liters six-cylinder 280 SL to the 5 liters V8 500 SL and the 5.6 l 560 SL (US version). For those years, they were already very powerful roadsters with 185 to 240 hp.
Outperforming 500 SL
Monceau now uses a 180 horsepower Permanent Magnet Axial Flux motor “as they offer the highest power density available on the market”, according to the company’s website. It’s able to provide 550Nm of torque, outperforming the then most powerful V8-powered SL 500 having 400Nm. And it only weighs 40 kilograms.
Like in the original car, the engine will be front-mounted with rear-wheel drive. It promises swift performances from the start, with accelerations of 0 to 100 km/hour in less than seven seconds. The battery pack is liquid-cooled, developed by Dutch Power Battery.
Near 300 km range
With a 50 kWh capacity, it matches today’s Tesla Model 3 Standard Range battery pack, giving the classic roadster a range of ‘nearly 300 km’ (WLTP), Monceau says. The battery packs will be front and rear-mounted for perfect weight distribution, and with respect for maintaining ample trunk space, as was the case in the donor car.
Although the R107 roadster already had a remarkable trunk space for a two-seat roadster compared to today’s standards, it is still a challenge to squeeze in battery packs. That’s one of the reasons why Monceau is starting for the initial development from the SLC coupe version, having a longer wheelbase, and not being ‘bothered’ by the space needed for the folded-down soft-top.
3D modeling and development
For the development that is done on the computer almost entirely, Monceau started with a complete 3D scan of the donor cars. According to the company’s latest blog, “engineering of the complete driveline and the development of the battery packs is almost finished in the 3D model. Also, the software for VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) and BMS (Battery Management System) is completed in cycles from Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) to Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL).”
The donor cars are to be restored completely to the owner’s wishes, painted in his (or her) desired color, and with a completely refurbished or newly custom-designed interior. The classic dashboard will be adapted to incorporate all modern monitoring instruments, and also the complete handling of the car is re-engineered.
To optimize road-handling beyond that of the original car, Monceau works with “an ex-Formula 3 driver and engineer to make the necessary changes to the suspension, brakes, and steering”. For technical supervision on electrical systems, Monceau can appeal to Klaas De Craemer, researcher at VITO, the Flemish institute for technical research.
The Belgian start-up says it is also partnering with German TeKshift, specialized in developing embedded software and controls for powertrain systems, and experienced in technology for the Formula E. TeKshift itself is an expert company in the classic-car-to-EV conversions.

Dubai launches global development foundation
LONDON - Dubai has launched an ambitious initiative designed to consolidate a wide range of charitable and human development endeavours around the world with a focus on the Middle East.
The “Mohammed Bin Rashid al-Maktoum Global Initiatives” includes 28 organisations under its umbrella, with activities ranging from fighting poverty and illness to supporting education and empowering communities. The foundation will implement about 1,400 human development programmes in more than 100 countries.
“Today we are embarking on a new beginning. My invitation is open to all countries, international foundations and organisations to participate with us in bringing new hope for our region,” Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the emir of Dubai, said October 4th on the launch of the initiative.
A board of trustees, made up of representatives from the organisations that make up the foundation, will manage the initiative. Sheikh Mohammed is to serve as chairman.
“The objectives of the foundation have been well-received by our community,” Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed al-Maktoum, crown prince of Dubai, said. “The new foundation complements the previous efforts of Sheikh Mohammed and its establishment paves the way for a new phase of philanthropic and developmental activities. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid’s philanthropic vision and philosophy is similar to his vision and philosophy for other sectors.”
Sheikh Mohammed instructed the board to prepare an executive plan with the goal of reaching 130 million people in the next ten years. The foundation is to operate in 116 countries but will mostly focus on the Arab region.
“The Arab region is undergoing massive challenges and these challenges will continue for decades to come. We will not turn our backs on our region. We will provide our support, and bring hope in a better future for our youth,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
“The world has spent tens of billions on addressing global challenges. If only a quarter of this amount was spent on development in our region, we would overcome our challenges and our people could overcome their difficulties to restore their role in building vibrant societies which contribute to the development and well-being of mankind.”
“What we will focus on in the near future is the region because this region is going through trouble and a crisis,” Mohammed al-Gergawi, the UAE’s minister for cabinet affairs, said, emphasising that the initiative’s primary goal is “human development.”
In the last few years, the organisations that make up the new initiative have spent more than $2 billion in more than 100 countries and has benefited millions of people. Those programmes have seen the construction or restoration of more than 2,000 schools and educational facilities, education initiatives that have supported more than 10 million children and training programmes that have seen more than 400,000 teachers qualified.
Sheikh Mohammed’s new initiative will have an annual operating budget of more than $272 million. How much of the overall figure constitutes new funding remains unclear.
The new foundation will also work on supporting innovation and scientific projects.
According to the initiative’s mission statement, 5,000 innovators and researchers are set to benefit from more than $1 billion in grants. The institution will also focus on fostering entrepreneurship by supporting and nurturing 50,000 young entrepreneurs and supporting the establishment of new companies that will provide 500,000 job opportunities in the region.
Concerning the fight against poverty and disease, organisations affiliated with the new foundation have worked on the prevention and treatment of blindness in 23 million people as well as providing more than 81 million vaccines to prevent blindness and eye disease, in addition to treating 3.6 million children for intestinal diseases and the construction and support of 46 hospitals around the world.
They also worked on supporting and providing humanitarian relief to more than 1.5 million families in 40 countries.

Specifying the correct energy supply system for an industrial robot can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. But now igus has come up with an online robot equipment configurator that simplifies the process.
Industrial robots capable of high-speed three-dimensional movement need energy supply systems (e-chains) to protect cables and hoses during these highly dynamic movements. But this is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and protection is only guaranteed if all the components are matched to the correct robot model.
The igus robot equipment configurator allows users to quickly find the right system based on the triflex R igus energy chain available from Treotham. Easy to install and easy to fill, this multi-axis energy chain protects moving cables on the robot in all directions and thereby increase service life. The free online tool can be used to find the ideal system for more than 400 models of robot available.
Once the user selects the robot manufacturer, type and model of robot, the configurator shows visualisations of the robot and components of the energy supply system. The next step is the choice of a retraction system, which keeps the energy chain under tensile stress, to avoid looping and protect against damage. The user then configures the triflex R e-chain type and the size.
The configurator automatically creates a list of all the components of the energy supply system as well as producing CAD models of the components and a PDF report of the configuration.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has communicated with media platform providers such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to remove advertisements that invite Muslims to gamble to get funds for the “balik kampung” trip in conjunction with the Aidilfitri celebration.
In a statement today, MCMC said the content would be removed in accordance with the terms of service, as well as the community standards set by the overseas- based media platform providers.
The statement was issued following a two-minute video advertisement by a gambling company, which went viral on social media sites, inviting netizens to earn extra money for the Aidilfitri celebration by using the company service.
The commission said parties involved, such as the production team, should be more sensitive to not complicit in activities that promote online gambling, which is clearly against the law.
“Production of the content production is subject to the Communications and Multimedia Content Code which should be complied with by those involved in the production and distribution of content,” it said.
MCMC said in the freedom to provide content, providers should follow a content code that is in line with the norms of a pluralistic Malaysian society.
It said the act of disseminating the content would only directly help those involved in spreading messages that promote gambling which could be detrimental to the Malaysian community.
“Social media users should also be more responsible by reporting such matters directly to the authorities for action instead of disseminating the content,” it said.
According to MCMC, online gambling activities and promotions are subject to the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953, which is under the jurisdiction of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Since March 12, MCMC has been operating fast-track restrictions by enabling the PDRM to order Internet service providers to block access to websites that violate the provisions of the law under the act.

3 Days in NYC
Some posts on this site contain affiliate links, meaning if you book or buy something through one of these links, I may earn a small commission (at no additional cost to you!). Read the full disclosure policy here.
Sometimes, you may not have all the time off of work (or, honestly, extra funds) to actually go on a lengthy trip. But no worries! I’m here to let you know all about some amazing mini-trips that you can take on a long 3-day/3-night weekend. First up, the biggest, most action-packed city in the U.S.: NYC! Why not explore the Big Apple for a few days? Here’s how to best spend 3 days in NYC.
Where to stay
- Budget: Let’s be honest, it is nearly impossible to get a hotel room under $200 in NYC. The biggest key with a tight budget is to know that the closer you get to Times Square, the more you’re going to pay. So, opt for lower Manhattan or the boroughs, like Brooklyn, for the best deals. Better yet, get a cute Airbnb for under $200 a night and save some cash.
- Mid-range: Citizen M is centrally located and within a 5-minute walk to Times Square and 15 minutes to Central Park. The cozy rooms offer splendid views of the city and the décor is hip and trendy. For just shy of $300 a night, you’ll be in the heart of the city, ready to see all it has to offer!
- Luxury: If you don’t mind paying the high prices of NYC for the best views and amenities, why not check out the St. Regis New York? From jaw-dropping views of the city and Central Park, to dreamy and immaculately designed rooms, you will adore this hotel. You even receive 24-hour butler service, free shoeshine, and even packing and unpacking services! But for a little over $800 a night, you’ll definitely be paying for luxury.
After waking up from your hotel or Airbnb, it’s time to explore! Lucky for you, most tourist sites are pretty close to each other, making it super easy to see a lot in a short timeframe. After grabbing a famous New York bagel from Ess-a-Bagel, head down to Battery Park to catch the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty. You can plan ahead, which I recommend, and book your tour online for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Walk around the iconic New York monument before heading over to Ellis Island and exploring the buildings and learn the history of the place.
Budget Tip: If you’re trying to pinch a few pennies, you can take the Staten Island Ferry. It’s free and cruises right past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. If you just want to see it, and not explore the islands, you can do this and save money!
Once you’re back on dry land, you’re close to the World Trade Center and memorial, which I highly recommend seeing. Visit the memorial fountain in remembrance, and admire the architectural design of the monument and the Oculus.
Then, I suggest heading over to Chelsea and grabbing a much-needed snack at Chelsea Market before strolling along the Highline, a beautiful, elevated garden with great city views. When you’ve seen these sites, it’s time to head back to your hotel and get ready for the evening festivity that is so New York: a Broadway musical.
You didn’t think I’d mention visiting NYC with seeing a show, right? With The Lion King, Aladdin, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, and, of course, Hamilton, you’re not at a loss of theatre to enjoy. So book early and enjoy your show!
Now that you’ve had a quintessential New York tourist day, it’s time to slow down. Grab Saturday brunch in the most popular city for it. Sip on mimosas and coffee before exploring the town some more.
Head over to Central Park and mosey a bit. The city may be rushing around, but you don’t have to be! Maybe make a picnic in the park, watch the turtles at Turtle Pond, take in the sites and then head over to the Met for some great art exhibits. From Monet to Warhol, you’re in for a treat when it comes to this museum. The entrance fee is “pay what you feel is appropriate.” So it’s a fairly inexpensive excursion and a fun way to spend a lazy afternoon.
Next, just wander the streets of NYC! Explore the Upper East Side and pop into fun cafes and bars for a drink. See the big, designer stores and grab a slice of pizza. Then, in the evening, get some good ramen at Ippudo East Village. Or, for the ultimate luxury, enjoy the Chef’s Tasting Menu at Michelin Starred restaurant Per Se.
This is the night where you need to go to a rooftop bar! There is no shortage in the city, but seeing the city lit up at night is a must.
It may be your last day, but there’s still more to see! My ultimate recommendation is to head over to Brooklyn and grab food at Smorgasburg! Open from April until October, this weekend open-air market is the place where street food is revamped and new eats are discovered. Think sushi tacos, poke, sticky rice, mofongo, and so much more! It also gives you the opportunity to explore one of NYC’s most famous boroughs. Maybe keep your food tour going with Brooklyn pizza, or maybe stroll the Brooklyn Bridge or some great parks after you get your fill of food.
It’s about time to leave, so take it easy this day. Wander around. Get lost. New York is a place where you can see and do so much, but the city itself is the tourist attraction. Admire the scenery before heading home the next day.

GOP Sen. John McCain condemned attacks on the integrity of the Department of Justice and FBI on Friday, minutes after President Donald Trump declassified the controversial memo from House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes.
“In 2016, the Russian government engaged in an elaborate plot to interfere in an American election and undermine our democracy. Russia employed the same tactics it has used to influence elections around the world, from France and Germany to Ukraine, Montenegro, and beyond,” McCain said in a statement.
“Putin’s regime launched cyberattacks and spread disinformation with the goal of sowing chaos and weakening faith in our institutions. And while we have no evidence that these efforts affected the outcome of our election, I fear they succeeded in fueling political discord and dividing us from one another.”

With all eyes on the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s No.17 doubles partners Thomas Laurent and Cormac Clissold, Oregon men’s tennis has secured the all-important doubles point with sophomore Ty Gentry and senior Simon Stevens going 14-1 in the 2017-18 season as well.
Gentry and Stevens come in at No. 37 in doubles rankings, making them the third highest ranked pair in the Pac-12. Oregon is the only school in the Pac-12 to have two pairs in the top-50.
Having this advantage bodes well for the Ducks. The last time Oregon won a spring match when dropping the doubles point was 12 matches ago against No.15 Stanford last year.
Before this season, Gentry and Stevens were not locks to be partners due to their 3-3 record together.
“We were definitely struggling a little bit,” Stevens said. “Because you know when you have a new partner, the game is different. You have to adapt your game to your new partner; have good chemistry.”
Stevens is sixth on Oregon’s career singles victory list and is currently seven wins away from tying 2016 graduate Daan Maasland for fourth in school history.
Stevens is also no stranger to dominant doubles play. His partnership with Maasland in 2015-16 was good for a 22-7 record, the fourth best in school history.
“Ty was a new guy and I had never played with him before,” Stevens said. “He plays very differently than Daan, so it definitely took time to adapt our game. We played less together last year too, so we had less opportunity to adapt our game to each other.”
Gentry has learned a lot from the more experienced Stevens on and off the court. After going 11-10 in his freshman year in singles play, Gentry not only improved his game but his record too, posting a 13-2 record this season.
“We’ve just clicked,” Gentry said. “I mean we’re good friends off the court now. We go out to eat together. We hang out all time time. I get him when he is on the court and I know he’s got me.”
Head coach Nils Schyllander has found a perfect match by pairing the experience and fire of Stevens with the steadiness of Gentry.
“Ty is a really steady doubles player and makes a lot of returns and [Stevens] brings a lot of energy to the court,” Schyllander said. “The personalities mesh out there. They just work together.”
The duo look to continue their strong season together with the possibility of leaving their names linked in the record books. If the pair wins their next six matches, they would break Laurent and Clissold’s record for consecutive doubles wins. If they win six more matches overall, they would crack the top-15 wins list for doubles at Oregon.
“Details can make the difference,” Stevens said. “Being friends means we probably have better communication on the court than if we didn’t know each other at all. So those little details really make a difference in matches.”

Cavaliers must rev it up to stay with Tar Heels

Is Kim Kardashian dead? Of course not, but she might feel that way. All signs point toward an upcoming divorce between Kim and her hubby Kanye, and it doesn’t look pretty. Saint and North, the couple’s adorable children, are at the very center of the conflict, and blood is already being spilled. Kanye has mentioned that he only used Kim for kids, which is a harsh statement to start things off with.
The 35-year-old Kim is taking her 38-year-old husband and baby daddy Kanye to court, and it looks like it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The super marriage is apparently coming to an end all too soon, following Kim and Kanye’s second wedding anniversary.
Not only are the two getting started for a nasty court feud over the divorce, but they are putting the kids front and center already. North West and Saint West, the toddlers, are going to be a pivotal piece in what is shaping up to be one of the more intense celebrity conflicts of the year.
According to Hollywood Life, Kanye reportedly has so much dirt and nasty info on Kim that things are going to go his way, no problem. Even if the famous rapper is exaggerating a little, as he does sometimes, he certainly isn’t going down without the fight of a lifetime for the custody of his two children.
The Hollywood Gossip reports that a source told InTouch magazine that Kanye isn’t just in it to get out of it and that he wants the kids to be his. West intends to fight for custody of the couple’s two children as well as end his marriage to Kardashian.
Starting things off with fighting words, West is apparently considering taking his kids to Paris for a few months, since he has a home there. Kanye isn’t playing softball either, as he has told Kim that he has tons of dirt on Kim and the Kardashians, so much so that the courts would be “lenient” toward Kanye on the matter of who gets custody of Saint and North.
“He’s told Kim as much, too, and even said he has enough dirt on her to ensure the legal system would be lenient toward him when it came to custody.”
Even though Kanye has made it clear he knows the dirt on Kim, marriage is a two-way street, and Kim isn’t going to keep any secrets if she doesn’t have to. Kardashian got to know her husband pretty well in the last two years, and if it means keeping her kids, she’ll spill every bean in her bag.
The two were clearly in love when they started the marriage, but time changes many things, and West and Kardashian can’t seem to stop fighting. The Kardashian-West household has become something of a divorce war zone and neither Kim nor Kanye can agree on anything at all. Sounds like either divorce or couple’s therapy is well on its way, and it may be too late to try fixing things.
“It’s ironic.They each went into [the marriage] thinking they were going to get exactly what they wanted – and to an extent they did – but then it all backfired.”
Did they each get what they wanted? Kardashian reportedly entered the marriage as a sort of gambit on gaining some fame, and also to get over her previous divorce from ex-husband Kris Humphries.
Kanye, however, had far more hopeful motivation: starting a family. Yep, the superstar rapper got married so he could be a dad. It’s not everyday you hear about superstars getting married for such simple and sensible reasons, but Kanye wasn’t messing around. West just wanted to start a family.
Whatever the reasons for the Kardashian-West marriage, it’s clearly ending in divorce now. All we can hope is that Kim and Kanye find a way to work it out and either stay together or at the very least, keep the kids out of the divorce fireworks.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you kicked off 2016 with people who love you and a bottle of champagne(; I have a great feeling about 2016 and I cannot wait to see where this year takes me.
For my NYE outfit I wore this geometric print beaded skirt from Forever 21 that I found on one of their clearance racks (similar here and here), a BP crop top, a J.Crew necklace, and black pumps (all old!).
As for resolutions, I decided to focus on just a few things I want to do or improve on:
- Travel — I already plan to study abroad in London, England during my Fall 2016 semester. While I’m over there in Europe I want to go to as many beautiful and different cities/countries as I can! Paris (obviously), Amsterdam, Croatia, Italy, Ireland, Germany… The list really goes on and on. I also want to visit every place in England that inspired the Beatles.
- Blog — Big things are coming to this blog in 2016. As I grow, I want this blog to grow as well! I want to post more consistently and create a schedule for posts. Hair tutorials, recipes, DIY’s, and of course fashion.
- Be Healthy — It’s definitely harder at school, but I need to continue to eat well balanced meals and take care of my body inside and out. Since I stopped skating I’ve taken a (unintentional) break from taking care of my body physically, so in 2016 I’m resolving to change that!

Saudi Arabia continues to hold its reputation for developing high-end and luxurious hotels as it opens 68 new ones with 29,033 rooms across its major cities this year. This is according to a report revealed last Feb. 22 in preparation for The Hotel Show Saudi Arabia 2017.
In a press release statement, Saudi Arabia Construction Overview carried by TOPHOTELPROJECTS names Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar and Makkah as the busiest areas for hospitality development in Saudi Arabia for 2017. The Kingdom will see the opening of the much-awaited hotels such as Assila Hotel Rocco Forte, TIME Qurayyat Hotel, Nobu Hotel Riyadh, Swiss-Belhotel Al Khobar and Abraj Kudai Towers. The latter is said to become the world's biggest hotels accommodating 10,000 rooms in the fourth quarter.
"The hospitality landscape in Saudi Arabia is developing at pace, and this is a particularly exciting year," John Suzara, Event Manager of The Hotel Show Saudi Arabia 2017 said. Abraj Kudai will open in Makkah while the others are entering the market at a time of growth for the Kingdom's tourism, leisure and hospitality industries following the launch of Saudi Arabia's National Vision 2030. Nobu and Rocco Forte Hotels are international brands that will enter the market for the first time in 2017.
Assila Hotel Rocco Forte opens on Mar. 12 in the heart of Jeddah that claims 147 rooms, 63 suites with an addition of 94 residential suites, spread across two large towers. The residences will be the first fully serviced residential apartments in the Kingdom. The hotel's decision to add Jeddah to its record of international properties is because of a large existing client base in Saudi Arabia.
"The incredible history, art, culinary culture and friendliness of people is an experience which I am sure a lot of travelers would and will appreciate," Christian Renz, Vice President sales at Rocco Forte Hotels said positively. He notes Jeddah as a very fast developing city that continues to grow over the past years. Meanwhile, the Hotel Show Saudi Arabia 2017 is celebrating its fifth edition and will take place on the first week of April at the Jeddah Centre for Forums and Events.

I attended a research session yesterday in downtown Boston to get feedback from physicians on the current wave of technological innovation in healthcare. While they all agreed that things like mobile apps and wearables could be useful they all said that under no circumstances is technology a replacement for a good relationship with your doctor.
The idea that patients can use the Internet for everything from consulting a doctor to check symptoms misses the point that we are all individuals and that medicine has to take into account the individual. Apps, for example, can measure how many steps we have taken or how active we are but they can’t determine who we are and our family history of certain health problems. More and more research indicates that genetics play a more important role in our health.
Earlier this year, in research with MS patients, they indicated that they wanted an app to track the good and bad days, but they also indicated a strong desire to share that information with their doctor. If their doctor didn’t buy into the data they felt it would not really be meaningful.
Right now technology and medicine are like the Wild West; apps and stories unbounded. Yet with all this new technology can we really expect patients to be tied to their devices to continually enter data? Some initial research with diabetics indicates that some apps can indeed help with control, but what about other health conditions like MS, or high cholesterol. The MS patients we talked to said that while they would welcome an app to help monitor their good and bad days some felt it would a reminder that they had MS. How can we account for those who feel this way?
Then there is big data. While it can be useful for some research can data really outline underlying issues with each individual patient? Are we using big data too much to the point that the well being of individuals is missing?
The FDA is pretty much staying out of the picture on the use of technology and healthcare at a time when they should lay the foundation to move forward. [bctt tweet=” Medicine is not an exact science thus the practice of medicine”]. We need more one to one contact and to understand that while technology can help it can never replace a good HCP.
