A group of people who share a common characteristic is called a cohort.
For example, people born in the year 1981 make up a birth cohort, and people who work in construction make up an occupational cohort.
Now, cohort studies or longitudinal studies are a type of study design that follows a cohort of people over time to figure out if there’s an association between an exposure and an outcome.
Typically, cohort studies look at individuals in a cohort who have a certain exposure, as well as individuals in a cohort who have not had that exposure, to compare their rates of a certain outcome in the future.
For example, let’s say we want to figure out if there’s a relationship between smoking cigarettes and developing lung cancer.
To do this, we could follow 100,000 individuals that smoke cigarettes, the exposed group, and 100,000 individuals that don’t smoke cigarettes, the non-exposed group, for ten years.
After ten years, let’s say that 82 of the 100,000 people - 0.082% - who smoked developed lung cancer, and only 3 of the 100,000 people - 0.003% - who didn’t smoke developed lung cancer.
We can then compare the groups by dividing the probability of lung cancer for people who smoked - 0.00082 - by the probability of lung cancer for people who didn’t smoke - 0.00003 - and determine that people that smoked had 27 times the risk of developing lung cancer during that ten period.
As it turns out, smoking is the number one risk factor of most types of lung cancer, and people who smoke are 15 to 30 times more likely to develop lung cancer than people who don’t smoke.
Now, there are two main types of cohort studies.
The first type is called prospective cohort or concurrent cohort, because individuals are followed forward in time.
An example would be if in 2018 a group of smokers and a group of non-smokers are recruited for the study.
Then the two groups are followed for ten years, until 2028, and the number of people who develop lung cancer is compared between the two groups.
A cohort study is a study that helps to determine a relationship between an exposure and a future outcome. In cohort studies, a group of people with a specific characteristic, such as exposure to a particular substance, are followed over time to see if they develop a specific disease or health outcome.
Cohort studies can be either prospective or retrospective. In prospective cohort studies, also known as concurrent cohort studies, individuals are followed forward in time, and the number of people who develop a particular outcome gets compared between the two groups. Next, we have retrospective cohort studies, also called historical or non-concurrent cohort studies. In retrospective cohort studies, two groups of individuals are selected in the past and followed up until the present day. Comparing two groups determines the number of individuals in each group who develop a particular outcome.

I have been working on rebuilding my credit for about the last 18 months but really focused since around July/August. My credit has dipped as low as 530 and currently I’m at around 480. Last year in September I got a secured Discover card with a $500 limit. I use it regularly for gas and pay it off week to week carrying a very small balance. Today I logged into my app to schedule a payment and found they had converted me to a non secured card and downed my credit limit to $300. I was surprise how did this happened to me so I called to confirm they told me it was due to misinformation on my credit report I went to sort out how to get my credit fixed then I came across firstname.lastname@example.org/ +1 949 397 8437 he wiped out the negatives entries Tax liens DMV car loan and boost my score to 805 and raised my credit limit to $2500 within a couple of days I know this is small to some but for me this feels like such a huge milestone. Give him a try now and get a good credit profile.

If there is any doubt that vendors want to poke desktop virtualization into the psyche of corporate IT then last week's rash of vendor announcements should put all that to rest. Microsoft, Red Hat, HP, Sun all moved to improve their standing in terms of enterprise desktop virtualization software.
If there is any doubt that vendors want to poke desktop virtualization into the psyche of corporate IT then last week's rash of vendor announcements should put all that to rest.
Microsoft in a move to shore up its ongoing virtualized desktop story, announced that App-V 4.5 has been completed and that it will be included in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) 2008 R2, which is set for release in a few weeks.
App-V (formerly Softgrid) lets users package applications up into "containers," store them on a server where they can be centrally managed, and then stream those containers to desktops, devices or shared PCs.
Microsoft has been pushing what it calls the Optimized Desktop, which addresses centralized management and deployment of physical and virtual resources.
With App-V 4.5, which is the first version developed under the company's Trustworthy Computing and Secure by Default guidelines, Microsoft introduced integration with System Center management tools, including the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Management Pack for App-V 4.5 servers. The software also features Dynamic Suite Composition (DSC), which lets virtualized applications share middleware resources; support for 11 languages; and a service-provider license option called Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5 Hosting for Desktops.
Red Hat rounds up
Meanwhile, Red Hat extended its virtualization wares to the desktop by acquiring vendor Qumranet, which develops a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) platform called SolidICE.
The technology is based on a Linux kernel technology called Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), which Qumranet wrote and then took open source.
SolidICE provides IT with centralized desktop and image management, high availability, and provisioning for any desktop operating system.
Red Hat said the privately held Qumranet's development, test and support staff, including those that lead the KVM project, will join Red Hat.
The company said in a statement its long-term goal is to infuse servers and desktops with virtualization technology that is built into the operating system.
In a statement, Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst said, "Put simply, Qumranet's KVM and VDI technologies are at the forefront of the next generation of virtualization."
Meanwhile, HP announced that it was upgrading its HP Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) platform with the HP VDI Citrix XenDesktop. HP said the Citrix version could be used for entry-level implementations up to enterprisewide desktop delivery.
XenDesktop uses virtual machine technology to deliver the Windows desktop from a central server to network clients. XenDesktop gives the IT staff the ability to centrally managed desktops. HP also said its will offer "Citrix Ready" blade PCs and thin clients.
Sun introduced Version 2.0 of xVM VirtualBox, which lets users load virtual machines onto a desktop and install the operating system of their choice. VirtualBox 2.0 adds support for 64-bit Windows Vista and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and features new platform support options and performance enhancements.
The Macintosh and Sun Solaris versions were upgraded with network performance enhancements. Sun also has improved performance on AMD-based PCs.
Sun also introduced xVM VirtualBox Software Enterprise Subscription, around-the-clock premium support that starts at $30 per user per year.

A negative tone hybrid sol-gel material was applied to the fabrication of continuous surface relief micro-optical elements by laser direct writing lithography. The hybrid sol-gel glass was synthesized as UV photosensitive material and used for the fabrication of micro-optical elements with continuous surface relief profile. The surface profile was directly controlled by the UV exposure dosage and the exposed areas were crosslinked and converted into sol-gel glass with relief structures. The UV exposure dosage was realized by an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) in the laser direct writing system. Characterization results indicated that the thickness of the sol-gel glass has a linear response to the AOM values ranging from 3.25 to 5.5. The sol-gel thin film was measured to have a refractive index of 1.52 and the maximum thickness of 2 μm. For various designs of diffractive optical elements within the visible wavelength, the sol-gel film enables us to achieve an arbitrary phase change between 0 and 2π with the linear AOM exposure range. As an example, a blazed grating with a period of 45 μm and height of 1.17 μm was fabricated in the sol-gel glass using direct laser writing method.

The names of students have been changed for this story.
Jason was 8 years old when he shoplifted for the first time. He had slipped a small Transformer figurine into his pocket after his parents refused to buy it for him. As soon as Jason left the store, he was overwhelmed with guilt. He hid the toy, never telling his parents about what he had done.
Today, Jason’s guilt has subsided. He now shoplifts regularly, using it as a way to get by living in Boulder.
A sophomore at the University of Colorado Boulder, Jason began shoplifting weekly when he moved into his apartment this year and realized “how much groceries were.”
Jason, whose pantry is filled entirely with dishes and utensils stolen from CU dining halls, says he only takes necessities. This is mostly food from the CU’s University Memorial Center and groceries from the local King Soopers.
“I would stop shoplifting and pay for the groceries if I could afford it,” Jason said. “If I didn’t have bills.”
Like the majority of students at CU Boulder, Jason lives off campus. According to the Times-Call, in 2017 Boulder reached a record-high average rental price of $1,596 for a one-bedroom apartment. That is nearly $600 more per month than the state average of $1,004. Jason and his roommates are lucky enough to only pay a little under $1,000 per month for rent.
After accounting for taxes, Jason would have to work approximately 114 hours a month at Colorado’s minimum wage of $10.20 per hour (on top of his full-time student course load) to make enough for rent alone.
In addition to rent, tuition at CU Boulder is also uncommonly high. This year, the Chronicle of Higher Education ranked CU Boulder the 15th most expensive out-of-state and the 38th most expensive in-state public university in the country. In comparison to CU Boulder’s 2018 ranking of 174th best college by Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education, this highlights CU’s unjustifiable cost. This is also evident in CU Boulder’s ranking of 993rd on College Factual “Best Colleges for the Money” list.
The rent and tuition prices of Boulder have left Jason and his family financially drained.
“I don’t think that it’s okay to steal,” Jason said. “At the end of the day, you’re breaking the law. But I do it anyway. I have priorities in my life and one of them is making sure that my family and I are financially stable. If I am able to take a financial burden off their shoulders, then I will do whatever it takes. Even if it means stealing.”
Jason is not alone in his exploits. Zoe, a CU Boulder sophomore, traces her shoplifting habit back to her freshman year of high school.
“I steal maybe three times a month,” Zoe said. “If I’m at the mall, I’ll steal clothes. At the grocery store I steal groceries, sometimes makeup. It’s definitely saved me money so I can use it on other things. But whenever I steal I always buy something too.”
Zoe, who also takes school supplies and food from CU dining halls, believes that the morality of her actions lies in her choice of targets.
“[Is it okay to steal?] No, but from large corporations, yes,” Zoe said. “It doesn’t affect the employees’ wages and I don’t steal from commission-based places.”
While theft does decrease profits of corporations, last year, the percentage of sales lost in the United States due to shoplifting was a mere 1.85 percent. And, in 2014, the Global Retail Barometer reported that retail staff steal from their employers more than the outside shoplifters do.
The stories of Jason and Zoe show that college kids are not stealing because they are immoral or rebellious. They are doing it because they feel it is their only choice.
Rent inflation and consistent increases in tuition have left CU Boulder students feeling desperate. Shoplifting is no more than an inevitable response to this desperation.
Shoplifting in Boulder is no longer just a crime; for many, it is a means to survival. Until rent and tuition prices become an accurate reflection of the product they sell, shoplifting will continue to be a frequent practice among college students, benefiting the individual more than it hurts the system.

John Key isn't ruling out a congestion tax for Auckland motorists to help unclog the city's roads.
A joint Council-Government report has been discussed by the Prime Minister and his Cabinet, and will be released later this week.
It could be a similar to a charge in London where commuters pay $20 every day they enter the central city zone, which is documented using number plate recognition technology.
The Prime Minister didn't rule it out at his post-Cabinet news conference on Monday.
"Technology is changing and it does provide, potentially, opportunities in the future - but it's not something Auckland motorists are going to be facing anytime soon," he said.
That's a change from the Government's previous stance, which was lukewarm on the idea.
But the game has changed, and with the next mayor likely to be Phil Goff - a huge fan of congestion charges - it's given the Government some wriggle room.
We won't see it before the next election, but John Key has softened his stance.Newshub.

What are the signs that my Carrier air conditioner needs repair?
If you think your air conditioner isn’t working as well as it should, don’t delay. A small problem that isn’t fixed quickly can lead to more costly repairs and possibly even a complete replacement of the air conditioning unit.
- Air comes out hot: If your evaporator or vents are blowing hot air, check your thermostat first. Make sure it’s on cooling mode and set it lower than the current temperature of your home. If your vents and evaporator are still blowing hot air, a compressor problem or restricted airflow may be the problem.
- Reduced or insufficient airflow: Poor airflow can also be a sign that your air conditioner isn’t operating at peak performance and that a blockage is preventing air from flowing properly. It could be a clogged filter, a motor problem, or another problem that needs to be evaluated by an air conditioning professional.
- Frequent cycling: Your air conditioner needs to be cycled regularly, regardless of the weather. While your cooling system may come on more frequently on warmer days, it should not turn on and off quickly and constantly. If you notice more frequent cycling, contact a professional right away. A simple tune-up may solve the problem.
- High humidity: Normally, your air conditioner should regulate the humidity level automatically. During the summer, your humidity level should not exceed 55%. If your air conditioner is struggling to maintain an acceptable humidity level, you may want to call in a professional to find the problem.
- Your air conditioner is leaking: Your air conditioner uses refrigerant (Freon, in most cases) to cool your home. This refrigerant can produce condensation when your air conditioner is running. However, water should not accumulate or seep into your home. If water is pooling or dripping on your floor, it is a sign that your cooling system is not working properly. This is a problem that should not be overlooked; a refrigerant leak can cause major damage to your air conditioner.
- Bad odors: If you detect bad odors coming from your air conditioning system, you need to fix the problem right away. By inspecting your air conditioner, a technician will be able to see the problem. UV germicidal lamps are also very effective in stopping the growth of mold and microbes (often responsible for bad odors). A thorough cleaning of the ducts and your indoor and outdoor units can also solve your odor problem.
- Unusual noises: Most air conditioner models are quiet when they start up or operate. However, loud noises such as grinding, popping or buzzing can indicate a problem, such as a loose or defective part. This type of problem rarely goes away on its own; an air conditioning professional will be able to see what the problem is.
- Your electric bill is higher than usual: Notice an increase in your energy bill even though you haven’t changed your cooling habits? This could mean that your air conditioner has to compensate and work harder to do its job properly. This usually means that your air conditioner is broken.
- Frost forms on the outdoor unit: If you notice frost and ice on your ducts and outdoor unit, it’s likely that your refrigerant is leaking. Only a professional refrigeration technician will be able to find the leak, seal it, repair it and recharge the fluid according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

WASHINGTON -- Democratic lawmakers in Delaware introduced a bill Thursday to legalize same-sex marriage, with the support of legislative leaders and Gov. Jack Markell (D).
Delaware legalized civil unions in 2011. If it were to pass a marriage equality bill, it would become the first state to do so since the Supreme Court arguments on the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8 triggered a significant public debate, with many lawmakers publicly expressing support for gay marriage. Concurrently, public opinion on same-sex marriage has shifted rapidly in its favor, buoyed by broad support among young voters.
"In 2011, when I signed civil unions, I certainly didn't have the intention of going back to it that quickly," Markell told The Huffington Post. "But when the advocates came to me earlier this year, and said we think it's time, and I said, you know what it is time, and I'm happy to stand right there with you."
The bill will receive a hearing before the state House of Representatives next Wednesday. It includes a process for gay couples to convert their civil unions into a marriage. According to sponsors, it protects members of the clergy from performing any marriage that does not conform to their beliefs.
The bill would seem to have a good shot of passing through the General Assembly, both houses of which are controlled by Democrats. They hold a 13-8 majority in the state Senate and 26-15 majority in the House.
Yet Markell indicated that he was not ready to declare victory. "I think this could be a challenge," he said. "I've learned that when you're dealing with getting votes out of the General Assembly, it's not done until it's done."
Vice President Joe Biden, the state's former senator, was first in the recent trend of politicians "evolving" to support gay marriage. In May 2012, he said that he was "absolutely comfortable" with gay marriage, and President Barack Obama announced his support three days later.
In the days surrounding oral arguments in the Supreme Court cases, many Democratic and two Republican senators publicly expressed their support for the first time. Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) was among them, doing so on April 2.
Gay marriage is currently legal in nine states and the District of Columbia. In November 2012, neighboring Maryland legalized gay marriage by popular vote, becoming one of three states to have done so.

As a counter to legislation passed in many states, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted on Tuesday, June 6 to expand healthcare services for transgender people and to establish for the first time a LGBTQ+ Commission to advise the board on related policies and programs.
The effort will enhance the county’s gender-affirming medical care and mental health services already offered to transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex residents and will include hormone therapy and puberty suppression medications, as well as surgical options, according to Third District Supervisor Lindsey Horvath.
It also includes providing PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), a daily pill or injection for sexually active adults that reduces risk of HIV to nearly zero.
Before adopting two motions by 5-0 votes, the supervisors said they disagreed with limiting transgender care to treat gender dysphoria. At least 17 states have enacted laws banning or restricting such medical procedures for minors, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho and Texas.
The supervisors’ approvals of dual motions affirming queer and transgender healthcare puts the county in line with the state of California, but in opposition to a growing number of states mostly in the South and Midwest.
First District Supervisor Hilda Solis said the actions are a way to reject such restrictions and make a statement. She said there have been more than 500 “anti-LGBTQ+ bills” considered by other states, many of them adopted into law, and some that censor books, outlaw public drag shows, ban curricula and criminalize doctors who perform gender-affirming treatments.
About 800 transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex people have received care in Los Angeles County facilities, and with more coordination across county departments as required, that number is expected to grow, the county reported.
“Here in Los Angeles County we should not stand for any of that,” Solis said. “We stand with our LGBTQ+ residents and reject those efforts wholeheartedly.” She added that the county is home to 500,000 residents who identify as LGBTQ+.
“I believe it is vital we take a stand with the LGBTQ+ community, not just with our words but also with our actions,” she added.
Various county departments, lead by the Department of Public Health (DPH), must report back on the number of residents served. The county will create and run a specific website promoting its services for the LGBTQ+ community.
County employees at the DPH, the Department of Mental Health and the Department of Children and Family Services must take “transgender awareness” training “for county employees to better serve the LGBTQ+ communities,” according to one of the motions adopted.
A second motion establishes a LGBTQ+ Commission of 15 members, including 10 nominated by the supervisors, three by other countywide leaders, and two chosen at-large. The commission will take about six months to form and will add to the 34 county commissions that advise the supervisors on policies and programs, often for marginalized communities.
“Creating a commission and expanding gender-affirming health care will help the county better understand the services we need the most,” said Camila Camaleón, president of the San Gabriel Valley LGBTQ+ Center based in El Monte.
Some who spoke in favor echoed the county’s motion to find safe places for the LGBTQ+ community. The county’s Commission on Human Relations found in a 2021 report that 89% of hate crimes against gay men were of a violent nature, and 93% of anti-transgender crimes were violent.
The supervisors emphasized reaching out to LGBTQ+ youth, who make up 19% of youth in the county’s foster care system and 40% of the youth experiencing homelessness, according to a 2014 survey.
“We work with youth, and specifically transgender and gender nonconforming youth,” said Adree De Luna, program operations associate with Rainbow Labs, a nonprofit that helps youth with community building, often through mentors. “They can’t be themselves at schools, and homes are not necessarily the safest places for them. So gender-affirming care saves lives,” said De Luna.
Only one speaker opposed the motions. Emily Lares of South El Monte said she was not opposed to the LGBTQ community, “But if there is going to be a commission for LGBTQ people, there should be a commission for families who believe in God.”
Programs emphasizing inclusivity, including reading a book to elementary school students about families with same-sex parents, have been challenged in L.A. County recently. Conservative and Armenian parents protested at Saticoy Elementary School in North Hollywood on Friday, June 2. One critic said the reading during an assembly that was part of June Pride Month activities, was “grooming” children to grow up gay.
Renato Lira, director of the San Fernando Valley LGBTQ Center, mentioned the protest at the North Hollywood school and thanked Horvath for her co-authoring one of the motions. “Thank you for standing for us. We need all the support we can get especially in the San Fernando Valley,” Lira said.

Homelessness in Santa Clara County has gotten worse, with the overall homeless population increasing 13 percent to 7,394 in 2017 over the course of two years. That puts Santa Clara’s homelessness crisis in the same ballpark as San Francisco’s, which has a homeless population of 7,499, according to a 2017 homeless census and survey. Santa Clara also has the third highest rate of chronic homelessness in the entire country.
Today, Cisco announced a $50 million donation to Destination: Home over the next five years. The idea is to help put an end to homelessness in Santa Clara County — an area of Northern California that is home to the tech industry’s Silicon Valley. This area consists of cities like Cupertino (home to Apple’s headquarters), Mountain View (home to Google/Alphabet), Palo Alto (home to Facebook), San Jose and Sunnyvale.
“We have said for a long time that it is up to all of us to end homelessness in our community,” Destination: Home CEO Jennifer Loving said in a statement. “Cisco has fully embraced that concept, and is stepping up in a big way to provide the type of critical private sector leadership and substantial funding that is necessary to address this crisis head on. We couldn’t be more thrilled or grateful to have Chuck Robbins and the Cisco team at the table.”
Cisco has donated an initial $20 million chunk to Destination: Home through its Cisco Fund. The plan is for this money to invigorate Destination: Home’s efforts to achieve its five-year plan to end homelessness, which entails disrupting and transforming homeless response systems, building new housing opportunities and deploying client-centered solutions.
Since implementing the plan in 2015, Santa Clara County has been able to permanently house 5,154 people, according to Destination: Home’s March 2018 progress report.
“I believe that this commitment is a smart, long-term investment in the work that Destination: Home does, allowing them to buy land and build additional housing, pioneer technology solutions around homelessness, enhance data collection capabilities, and test promising social service intervention model,” Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins (pictured above) wrote in a blog post. “This is also an investment in the place that has been so good to us as a company – the place where so many of us are fortunate not just to work, but to have a home.”
As tech companies grapple with their roles in the displacement of non-tech workers, it’s promising to see some of them try to tackle the problems they helped exacerbate. It’s worth noting Cisco is not the only tech company putting money behind social good efforts. In October, Google committed $1 billion in grants to train U.S. workers for jobs in the high-tech industry.

Music Companies Sue Twitter for More Than $250 Million in Damages Over Alleged Copyright Violations
In a groundbreaking move that could have far-reaching consequences for social media platforms, major music companies have banded together to sue Twitter for more than $250 million in damages. The lawsuit stems from alleged copyright violations, as the music industry aims to hold online platforms accountable for facilitating the unauthorized sharing of copyrighted material.
The plaintiffs, which include Universal Music, Sony Music, and Warner Music, argue that Twitter has failed to take appropriate measures to prevent its users from sharing copyrighted songs, resulting in significant financial losses for the music industry. Despite receiving numerous takedown requests, Twitter allegedly allowed copyrighted music to continue being uploaded and shared without obtaining the necessary licenses.
The case highlights a long-standing issue in the digital realm, where platforms such as Twitter provide a space for users to consume and share content freely, sometimes without considering copyright laws. The music industry has been particularly affected by this phenomenon, with artists and record labels losing substantial revenue due to the availability of pirated songs circulating on these platforms.
Twitter, like other social media giants, often relies on users to report copyright infringements, making it challenging to proactively monitor and remove unauthorized material. However, the music companies argue that Twitter should implement more sophisticated mechanisms, such as content identification systems used by platforms like YouTube, to prevent copyrighted music from being uploaded without permission.
This lawsuit not only seeks substantial financial compensation but also aims to heighten awareness about the importance of protecting intellectual property rights on social media platforms. The music industry argues that Twitter has profited from the popularity of music on its platform while neglecting its responsibility to respect copyright laws.
If successful, this legal action could set a precedent, leading to stricter copyright enforcement by social media platforms. It could also pave the way for potential cooperation between the music industry and platforms such as Twitter to find more effective solutions to this ongoing problem.
In recent years, social media sites have faced mounting pressure to deal with copyright violations. YouTube, for example, implemented its Content ID system in 2007, allowing copyright holders to identify, monitor, and take action against unauthorized videos featuring their content. While far from perfect, this system has provided some relief to copyright holders and has become an industry standard.
Twitter, although predominantly known as a platform for quick status updates rather than content-sharing, has seen a surge in music-related activity. Artists often directly engage with their fans using the platform, promoting new releases or sharing snippets of their work. While these interactions undoubtedly contribute to the vibrancy of the music community on Twitter, they also open the door to potential copyright infringements.
The outcome of this lawsuit is uncertain and could have far-reaching implications. Regardless, it sends a clear signal that music companies are no longer willing to tolerate the facilitation of copyright violations by social media platforms. As artists and rights holders continue to fight for fair compensation, platforms like Twitter may need to fundamentally reevaluate their approach to copyright enforcement to ensure they live up to their responsibility as gatekeepers of digital content.


An extensive underground utility network feeding energy and data to ever expanding cities, lie just below the ground. This invisible transport hub delivers electricity, gas, water, telecoms and fibre-optics powering our modern day lives.
Utility providers are investing significant amounts to improve their utility records. Digital technology allows asset owners to understand their networks, reduce risk and improve operational efficiencies. If a utility is recorded incorrectly, excavation teams may cause damage to this utility or nearby utilities due to inaccurate records. For this reason utility companies and their associated contractors are increasingly requesting cable locators to be precise, flexible and familiar.
A simple non-intrusive utility tracing survey undertaken prior to the commencement of site work can provide clear and accurate results on the amount and location of buried services and other possible sub-surface hazards. This can:
- significantly reduce the health and safety risk
- allow informed planning for future work
- help avoid damaging the buried apparatus thereby reducing downtime and costly repairs
- ensure that best practice and regulations are followed
- accurately target intrusive investigations
- minimise disruption to the site work and also to members of the public
State-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Sensing the smallest signals from buried utilities in congested areas is a technical challenge. Cable location instruments need to detect, process and alert operators about the presence of a signal without over complicating the detection process.
Leica has developed Digicat XF-series with a powerful state-of-the-art digital platform, removing the reliance of analogue dials to control the signal sensitivity, which requires constant adjustment throughout the detection process.
Leica’s Digital Signal Processing (DSP) electronically analyses the signals from utilities, processing through powerful algorithms to filter out noise and distortion. The results deliver a clearer, cleaner signal output.
Large intuitive display
All Leica Digicat models benefit from a large screen detailing both a graphical and numerical Signal Strength Indicator (SSI). This combination provides greater pinpointing accuracy allowing the operator to find a peak reading over a utility irrespective of the signal strength.
Mode lock allows the user to set the locators default start up setting to either the last mode used for scan continuity or power mode for safety.
Measuring signal current
The transmitter is used to apply a signal to the target line, the signal will reduce gradually in strength as the surveyor moves away from the transmitter and also couple on to other utilities.
When tracing a utility in congested environments, the locator may detect signals from an adjacent utility. The line with the highest current measurement (mA) will be the target utility.
Increased Depth Readings
All Digicat XF models provide increased depth readings allowing operators to trace the location and path of deep sewer drains to a depth of 9.9 meters when using a sonde.
When tracing underground CCTV sewer cameras, the Digicat XF-series provides greater flexibility with 8kHz, 33kHz, 512Hz and 640Hz trace options.

In the 10920s a lot of social issues changed because the world was changing quickly and the people back then changed the perception of the good things and the bad things. The US started to look in some way how it looks today. But also there were a lot of different things that we have improve or change nowadays. In one hand, there are a lot of similar issues between the world in 1920s and now. The women started to fight for their rights and then still fighting for them today. There were different social groups as we have today, differentiated by their race, gender... The people in the cities started to think about some things like sex, alcohol, drugs, and homosexuality in a more liberal way. The people also started to discuss seriously about human origins, the idea of the Evolution started. Although our technology is better nowadays, they improved a lot in the 1920s. Also, at the end of the 1920s decade there was an economic recession, like our economic recession today. In the other hand, the economy was in a boom during the 1920s (before to the recession at the end of the decade) and now our economy is not really good. Also, alcohol drinks were illegal in that time, but now they are legal. The world is more interconnected nowadays than before thanks to the phones and the internet. The flappers were shocking in that time, because they used to wear short skirts, make up and bobbed hair. Now, this characteristics are are perceived as normal. The US citizens didn't like

For the United States of America, the decade following the end of World War I was a
time of profound change. The prosperity of the 1920s was a time for the growing nation to
experience crucial transformations in the way it earned its keep, organized work affairs, and

It would be simpler to agree that it was a combination of all three but that’s not fun. Although pop culture and prohibition did play a part for the name, it is the economy of the time that really gave the 1920s its name, since the economy was a huge “roaring” rollercoaster.

Crime In the 1920s
In the 1920s, criminal activity was booming. Many people profited from crimes such as Sleepy Bill, Billy Maharg, Al Capone, George Remus, and Albert Fall. The most profitable and infamous crimes were the World Series, bootlegging, and the Teapot Dome Scandal. The 1920’s was a very corrupt time in American history.

“Roaring 20’s” was created by a unique set of circumstances in American History. The euphoria after World War I, the economy starting to boom because Americans could see progress and the short sightedness that stocks had a guaranteed return.

Prohibition in the 1920’s
During the 1920’s there were many things that were detrimental to the country. In this era, in the United States of America, the legal drinking age is twenty-one. However, this wasn’t always the case. In the 1920’s there was no legal drinking age. In fact after the ratification of the 18th Amendment to the U.S constitution, the transportation, manufacture and sale of alcohol was prohibited by the United States; Hence the name “Prohibition”. The impact the prohibition…
Intolerance in the 1920s---
In the mid 1920s, there were many acts of tolerance and intolerance. For example, Bartolommeo Vanzetti was treated with intolerance because he was accused of an April 20 robbery in which the paymaster and a guard at a factory in South Braintree, Massachusetts were shot to death. Vanzetti believed the government did not serve the people and should be abolished. Vanzetti opposed to the World War I. He took a part in protest meeting and in 1917 when the U.S joined the war…
Before the 1920’s, men and women each had certain roles and expectations set by the general society that kept men in a more powerful, dominant position. However, through the 1920’s, a ‘new woman’ emerged and showed women in a new light. These ladies were starting to break society’s original rules and be independent. Ultimately, this time period consisted of women expressing and enjoying themselves by beginning careers that they were interested in, wearing clothes that were flashy and…

feet to the North Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier. We took turns going to the
edge on our ropes and just got lowered over the edge with a belay from Trevor
which was very exciting. Then we just relaxed and got ready for our push up to
17,000 feet. Tomorrow we are planning on getting up pretty early and making
the push, so we’ll give you a call in a couple of days and give you the update
on our move up to high camp, where we have six day of food and fuel and we are
looking at summiting in the next six days if the weather holds. So far the
weather has been good and it is still clear out right now, the sun is still
out and it’s 10:30pm. Have a good night.

Overview: There are certain mountains
that need no explanation as to why climb. Denali is such a mountain. Its
tremendous size and beauty generate a magnetism that continually draws
climbers from around the world. An ascent of Denali, touches the psyche of all
alpinists and for those who have undertaken its challenges, it rewards them
with an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Denali is often considered
America's most classic climb. From top to bottom, it rises nearly 18,000', an
elevation gain unsurpassed anywhere in the world. At a northern latitude of
63°, it is the most northerly of any big mountain over 20,000'. No other
region offers such breathtaking and diverse views each day of the ascent. The
panorama from Denali's summit includes Mt. Foraker, Mt. Hunter and Mt.
Huntington in all their majestic glory.
When Dr. Bradford Washburn
pioneered the West Buttress route, he heralded in a new era of Denali ascents
and offered climbers a unique approach to the summit. The flight onto the
glacier is a trip in itself, presenting overwhelming vistas of the Alaska
Range. The West Buttress route remains, by far, the most successfully climbed
route on the mountain.
Climb Overview: A Denali climb begins
deep in the heart of the Alaska Mountain Range on the Kahiltna Glacier. From
the S.E. Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier we begin the climb of Denali's West
Buttress. Base Camp plus five higher camps are established on the mountain.
When necessary, the team makes double carries between all camps, except high
camp, to ensure proper acclimatization and reduce loads. In each camp we build
snow walls for protection from possible high winds. The climb takes
approximately 17-18 days round trip from Base camp.

Although all investments come with risks, we would like to highlight how commercial property investment can offer unique opportunities compared to residential property investment. Here are 10 things we love about commercial property trusts.
- Higher income yields – Commercial properties generally show higher returns when compared to residential property. According to realcommercial.com.au, commercial properties offer rental yields between 5 and 12 per cent. This is much higher than residential properties which have an average rental yield of 4.1 per cent according to CoreLogic.
- Regular Passive Income – Commercial property trusts generally pay regular distributions to investors, often either monthly or quarterly. Many investors use this income to supplement their main source of income in retirement.
- Tax Advantages – Commercial property investors may be eligible for certain tax benefits such as depreciation and interest deductions. Commercial property owners can claim depreciation for capital works and plant and equipment.
- Potential for Capital Growth – Based on income and yield growth potential commercial properties located in high-demand areas can experience capital appreciation over time.
- Longer Leases – Whilst residential properties are typically held on short leases (often 12 months), commercial properties typically attract longer lease terms between three and fifteen years, providing consistent and predictable income streams over time.
- Reduced Capital Volatility – Commercial properties generally exhibit lower unit pricing volatility than the sharemarket, which fluctuates daily.
- Well known tenants – With well-known key anchor tenants such as: Bunnings, Coles, Woolworths and Government Tenants, this provides further certainty over the income available for distributions.
- Diversification – by investing across different asset classes and geographic locations, investors may be able to diversify their portfolio and potentially reduce investment risk.
- Inflation Hedge – Rents from tenants generally go up annually by CPI or a fixed amount each year, which helps reduce the impact of inflation.
- Access to Properties out of reach and Professional Management – the ability to own commercial property within a commercial property trust, allows investors to hold part of a larger asset previously out of reach and to benefit from professional management which benefits the time poor investor and those who don’t want the hassle of managing the properties themselves.
Before investing in commercial property trusts, please consult with your investment adviser and also consider the investment risks such as: vacancy, unforeseen capital expenditure, tenant performance and other factors.
If you are looking to invest in commercial property trust and would like to learn more, or have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!

- 4 eggs
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1/2 C ricotta cheese
- butter for frying
- Put the raisins and juice in a pot, and bring to a boil. Let it boil down a bit.
- Pour juice over broken matza, and squish it down with a lid.
- Proceed as in the original recipe.
Serve with lots of lemon juice. The texture isn’t quite as nice as the Lemon Ricotta Matzo Brei, but the orange flavor is nice.


“The Wall Street Journal” has unveiled a stunning news for the lovers of Smartphones in the form of upcoming “X phone” a product of Google-owned Motorola. Today the market of Smartphones has been completely held up by Apple and Samsung and still there is no competitor of these two brands in the real manner. Now, Motorola is planning to introduce its sophisticated “X Phone” next year in the market. As this project is a joint venture of Google and Motorola, so this will be a real bombshell in the market of Apple and Samsung Smartphones. Motorola engineers are struggling hard to prove this first time product of a partnership between Google and Motorola to capture the market of Smarphones and grasp the attention of next-generation phone lovers. Up till now, the releasing date of “X Phone” has not been finalized, but it is expected in the first quarter of next year.

November is Home Care & Hospice Month, so let’s give a shout-out to members of the healthcare informatics community who work in those environments. From my time at Big Health System, it seems like hospital projects get all the recognition and the lion’s share of the budget, while ancillaries like home health and hospice are struggling to even get support.
There are a number of challenges faced by these disciplines that make their work tricky – connectivity issues, mobile documentation, chart fragmentation, lack of coordination among prescribers and referring physicians, and more. Plus, there are the challenges inherent with going into people’s homes and dealing with unpredictable (and sometimes dangerous) situations.
Our occupational health clinic works with a home care group and I’ve heard stories about home care teams that go the extra mile bringing food and personal care items to patients who are struggling to stay out of the hospital. Hats off to these vital members of the healthcare team and the informatics personnel who support them.
Whether it’s related to the month of recognition or not, CMS released a rule finalizing changes to the Home Health Prospective Payment System. Claiming it will “strengthen and modernize Medicare,” it made changes to coverage for remote patient monitoring, added home infusion therapy benefits, and updated payments for home health with a new case-mix system. Burden is also supposed to be reduced through fewer reporting measures for certifying physicians. The changes begin in calendar year 2020.
Building on the legacy of EMRAM, HIMSS Analytics releases a new Infrastructure Adoption Model called INFRAM. Along with AMAM and CCMM, the models are designed to measure organizational efforts to improve processes and outcomes through technology implementation and adoption. INFRAM is designed to assess technical infrastructure within health systems, benchmarking prior to go live on EMR (as HIMSS still calls them) systems. Subdomains assessed as part of the model include security, collaboration, wireless capabilities, data center, and transport.
The American Medical Association is providing $15 million in grants over five years to fund innovations in residency training. The Reimagining Residency Initiative aims to transform residency training to better prepare graduates for the healthcare system of the future. Depending on the specialty, graduating residents are often unprepared to operate in the “non-system” that we have going in the US – they may not have been trained on value-based care, coding in such a way that one can actually be paid, and working collaboratively with other physicians and members of the healthcare team.
AMA did this previously in a $12 million program with medical schools, leading to development of a “Health Systems Science” textbook and curriculum to teach physicians to work with emerging technology and how to participate in patient safety, quality improvement, and team care projects. The Request for Proposal will be distributed on January 3, 2019 with letters of intent due February 1. Medical schools, health systems, and medical specialty societies are invited to participate along with graduate medical education sponsors. Awards will be announced in June 2019.
NCQA announces availability of various datasets to help us with our analytics endeavors. The Quality Compass 2018 dataset includes HEDIS and CAHPS data, aiding benchmarking. The current set includes data for commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid submissions. Separate data is also available for CAHPS 5 OH Adult survey results for commercial and Medicaid payers. Also, there is a CAHPS Booklet includes benchmark data for Adult and Child CAHPS surveys. Last, the Health Insurance Plan Ratings 2018-2019 results include scores similar to the Medicare Five-Star Quality Rating System.
The American Medical Informatics Association announces its Inaugural Class of Fellows for the newly established FAMIA Applied Informatics Recognition Program. The program is designed “to recognize AMIA members who apply informatics skills and knowledge within their professional setting, who have demonstrated professional achievement and leadership, and who have contributed to the betterment of the organization.” The recognition is open to physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and others within clinical informatics. Formal recognition will occur at the AMIA 2019 Clinical Informatics Conference in Atlanta, April 30-May 2, 2019. Some of my favorite people are on the list – congratulations to all!
As I’ve worked with youth in various community organizations over the last decade, I’ve seen the expansion of smartphones, with both positive and negative impacts on youth knowledge, exploration, and relationships. Time magazine reviews recent research on the impact of technology on young people’s mental health, noting increased rates of diagnosis for depression and anxiety in those using screen-based devices for more than seven hours per day. The data is from a 2016 study looking at more than 40,000 children ages 2 to 17.
When doing a sanity check on the data, I originally balked at the seven-hour figure as an outlier, but the study notes that around 20 percent of youth aged 14 to 17 spend this amount of time on screens each day. Youth in this use category were also more easily distracted, had emotional lability, and had difficulty finishing tasks compared to those who spent only an hour a day on screens. Adolescents were more likely to have issues than younger children.
Every time I’m in an airport and see toddlers and young children glued to a phone or tablet while their parents are also glued to a phone, I want to scream. Maybe I’m turning into the local curmudgeon, but childhood is a time for wonder and explanation. I want to tell them to take their children over to the window and look together at what is going on around the airplane. Watch the baggage handlers and look for your bags. See how the plane gets refueled. Talk about the jobs people do and how everyone plays a part in getting you to your vacation or grandma’s house or wherever.
Those behaviors in young childhood influence how individuals will use phones and devices as teens, and we know from numerous pieces of research that social media use is linked to low well being in teens and adolescents. There’s nothing funnier than watching a group of teens stand in a circle and “group chat” instead of actually chatting face-to-face with each other. Funny, but sad. I’m glad that one of the organizations I work with is a no-phone zone for the most part, forcing young people to interact with each other and also with the adults supporting their adventures.
Weird news of the day: Having one’s appendix removed has been linked to a nearly 20 percent lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Researchers noted that the appendix holds alpha-synuclein, which is thought to influence Parkinson’s development. One working hypothesis is that the appendix participates in immune surveillance “contributes to Parkinson’s through inflammation and microbiome alterations.” It’s not compelling enough to run out and have surgery, but I’ll be interested to see where the data takes us.
What is your organization doing to celebrate Home Care & Hospice Month? Leave a comment or email me.

In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean, who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole, agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s daughter, Cosette. The fateful decision changes their lives forever.
I’m not going to lie, this movie was seriously depressing. I came out of the theatre in a slump, wondering why I couldn’t have gone to see something happier. I realized though that that’s what made the movie so good, because it told the truth. And if the truth is depressing, then so be it.
Les Mis is the only movie I can think of that isn’t dramatized. It doesn’t pull any punches; people die and not everyone gets their happy endings. Hope is lost and grudges are held but everything is so achingly real.
The songs fit seamlessly into the movie and looking back I can’t even remember whether certain lines were sung or spoken. I think that this was because the singing is done live, so it is imperfect and is sung by the actors when they are in the mood for the scene.
No one is truly good or evil, but are perfectly human and stay true to who they are right down to the end. The costume designers were brilliant as everything, down to actor’s make-up was perfect.
You’re probably wondering why, if it was so depressing, did I like it so much. The answer is that it was also inspirational. There is love in the movie, and for the most part it does survive. Jean chooses to be good and never once falters from this decision. He does whatever he can to help those around him, though his situation is not much better.
Everything about this movie was perfect, yet I was unable to fully lose myself in the character’s world and was painfully aware of every passing hour. I think this was because I didn’t want to get sucked into the movie because unlike most movies this world is not one I’d like to live in. What made the movie so good, its authenticity, was also its only flaw.
It is impossible to describe Les Miserables or to explain why it is so important to watch, but it will tear you apart and leave you speechless all at once.
