New Coronavirus Cases and Deaths Still Happening in Iowa
On Thursday, the Iowa Department of Public Health reported 19 additional COVID-19 deaths and a further 412 confirmed cases.
The department says in Woodbury County, there have been 31 new cases added to the total case count in the last 24 hours. Woodbury County has a 14-day COVID-19 positivity rate of 6.4 percent, which was unchanged from yesterday.
Another Crawford County resident has succumbed to the novel coronavirus, according to state statistics.
As of 1 p.m. today, 7,687 people in Woodbury County had received both shots of a two-dose vaccine, while another 568 had received a single-dose vaccine, according to state statistics. That's roughly 8 percent of the county's population.
Governor Kim Reynolds says this week Iowa should vaccinate its one-millionth dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
With the expansion of priority groups in Iowa, more people are eligible to get COVID-19 vaccinations, including all Iowans age 65 or older —an age demographic most vulnerable to COVID-19 severe illness and death — and people in certain professions.
According to an annual report from researchers at the University of Iowa, black people in Iowa develop and die from cancer at higher rates than their neighbors. The mortality rate for cancer among Black people is more than 25% higher than it is for white people, according to the report.
Dr. Mary Charlton, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the UI's College of Public Health and one of the study's co-authors, says that the disparities result from structural racism.


Power plants use nitrogen generators for multiple applications. Here, we’ll discuss some of the more common applications as well the reasons that plant managers choose nitrogen generators as their preferred N2 gas source.
Power Plant Applications
Nitrogen Purge for HRSG Wet and Dry Boiler Lay-Up – Corrosion is a real threat to the performance, safety, and longevity of boilers and boiler tubes at power plants. Nitrogen is an inert gas that protects against the corrosion of inner walls of boiler tubes, condensers and wetted parts. N2 gas works to displace the presence of oxygen, one of the key players in the corrosion triangle, thereby effectively inhibiting the formation of corrosion. When the boiler units are offline during a lay-up, nitrogen generators provide an N2 blanket in the boiler drums.
Case Study: A Power Plant in Northeastern United States recently installed a South-Tek Systems’ nitrogen generator in two of their combined cycle facilities after realizing the possibility of corrosion in their boilers. The capacities of the plants are 407 / 500 Megawatts and are used for dry and wet lay-ups with one volume purge every 24 hours. One of the facilities is a peaking facility, so the nitrogen generator will run more frequently. When the units are offline, they provide a N2 blanket in the boiler drums. The nitrogen generator is also used to blanket on the tube side of the feedwater heater during extended outages. Their other plant is a base loaded plant, so the nitrogen generator is used for boiler drum blanketing when the unit is offline for an extended period of time. With a nitrogen generator in place, operations are running smoothly and their concern for corrosion no longer exists.
Ammonia Purge – Some power plants use nitrogen generators for blanketing ammonia storage tanks. Nitrogen is connected to the ammonia storage tank’s vapor space to provide a nitrogen blanket on the system. The intent of using a nitrogen blanketing system on aqueous ammonia tanks is to prevent the ingress of air to the tank vapor space during low ambient temperature conditions when the vapor pressure of the ammonia drops below atmospheric pressure.
Natural Gas Purge – An increasing number of power plants are utilizing natural gas. When a leak occurs, the site evacuates natural gas using nitrogen within the piping system before repairs are made to reduce the possibility of explosions. When performing this procedure, the nitrogen fill valve is opened to pressurize the pipe. A pressure gauge is used to monitor pressure loss and check for leaks. Precautions are taken when releasing the purged gas into the atmosphere such as proper ventilation. Being inert, nitrogen reduces the risk of explosions and extends the life of power plant equipment.
Why Use a Nitrogen Generator?
Nitrogen Generator equipment is increasingly used in power plant applications due to the ability to produce an unlimited supply of Nitrogen on-demand at the facility, eliminating missed deliveries, escalating costs and contracts. This equipment is also a convenient, safe, and more reliable alternative to delivery and handling of bulky, compressed gas cylinders or tanks.
Why South-Tek Systems?

The world is on a ‘highway to climate hell’ and fight for the future of humanity will be won or lost this decade, said UN Secretary General António Guterres in his opening remarks at Cop27.
He said the world faces a choice over the next fortnight of climate talks taking place in Egypt: either developed and developing countries working unanimously towards an ‘historic pact’ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and set the world on a low-carbon path – or failure, which would bring climate breakdown and catastrophe.
He told world leaders at the opening of the Cop27 climate summit: ‘We are in the fight of our lives and we are losing.
‘And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.’
Guterres said developed and developing nations must working together in a ‘historic pact’ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to establish a low-carbon world – as failure to do so would bring climate breakdown and eventual global catastrophe.
‘We can sign a climate solidarity pact, or a collective suicide pact,’ he told the audience at the event in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
‘A window of opportunity remains open, but only a narrow shaft of light remains. The global climate fight will be won or lost in this crucial decade – on our watch. One thing is certain: those that give up are sure to lose.’
Egypt’s President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi said in his opening address to the Cop27 climate summit that extreme weather is already making a massive impact.
He said: ‘The intensity and frequency of climate disasters have never been higher, in all four corners of the world, bringing wave after wave of suffering for billions of people. Is it not high time today to put an end to this suffering?’
According to a report commissioned by the governments of the UK and Egypt a sum of $2tn will be needed each year by 2030 to help developing countries cut their greenhouse gas emissions and cope with the effects of climate change.
This would enable poorer nations to switch away from fossil fuels, invest in renewable energy and other low-carbon technology, and cope with the impacts of extreme weather conditions.
UAE Make Clean Energy Advances at Cop27
Meanwhile the UAE and Egypt have signed an agreement to build one of the world’s largest wind farms in Egypt.
The agreement is between the UAE’s Masdar – one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy companies-, Egypt’s Infinity Power and Hassan Allam Utilities to develop a 10-gigawatt onshore wind project.
The 10-gigawatt wind farm will produce 47,790 gigawatt hours of clean energy annually and offset 23.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions — equivalent to about 9 per cent of Egypt’s current carbon dioxide output.
The memorandum of understanding was signed at Cop27 by Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Special Envoy for Climate, and the chairman of Masdar.
Dr Al Jaber said the scale of the project was a ‘testament to the renewable energy ambitions of the United Arab Emirates and the Republic of Egypt, and demonstrates Masdar’s status as a global leader in clean energy.’
‘Under the guidance of our leadership, the UAE has been at the forefront of positive climate action in the region – and globally, as reflected in the recent US-UAE Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy (PACE),’ he added. ‘The UAE and Masdar will continue to support Egypt’s net-zero goals, and we will endeavor to take forward the gains made here at COP27, as the UAE prepares to host COP28 next year.’

So I decided to make my own, as I like them. That’s why my undies are made to show off your bottom, not to hide it. They are not only flattering, but comfortable and sexy. And of course eco friendly. The organic cotton and elastane in the base layers, gives you a conformable fit. The lace that adorns them, gives you that sexy pretty feel. All the materials are as ethically sourced as possible, and they are locally made in NZ by me.

Efficacy Of Inguinal Hernia Repair By Prolene Hernia System
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 4, Pages 420-424
AbstractHernia repair is the most commonly performed procedure in general surgery. Even though several techniques have been followed since ages none of them are without complications and recurrence. The objective of the present study is to look for the outcome of inguinal hernia repair with Prolene Hernia System in terms of post operative pain, post operative complications, duration of hospital stay, duration to return to normal activities and recurrence. All cases who presented with uncomplicated inguinal hernia who are more than 18 years were included in the study. Complicated hernias like obstructed and strangulated inguinal hernias presented as emergencies were excluded from the study. The mean VAS score at 72 hours postoperatively was 1.2. The mean duration of hospital stay was 3 days. During the follow up period of 6 months, no recurrence was noticed. The PHS is a tension free mesh repair that provides a complete closure of the myopectineal orifice. It is a feasible procedure with minimal postoperative pain and related complications. It shows acceptable short term results with low incidence of chronic groin pain and reccurence during the follow-up period.

What are the 3 themes of Pride and Prejudice?
- Love. Pride and Prejudice contains one of the most cherished love stories in English literature: the courtship between Darcy and Elizabeth.
- Reputation. Pride and Prejudice depicts a society in which a woman’s reputation is of the utmost importance.
Who is the foil in Pride and Prejudice?
The major foil characters are Mr. Wickham and Mr. Darcy. Even as the story goes along, we see these two almost switching roles in how their characters are seen by others (particularly by Elizabeth).
Does Elizabeth accepts Darcy’s proposal?
Why does Lizzy reject Darcy’s first proposal to her? Lizzy rejects Darcy’s first proposal because while he admits to loving her, he also says many insulting things about her family and social position. These attitudes are offensive to Lizzy, because she does not think Darcy is inherently better than her.
What is the historical context of pride and Prejudice?
Historical Context for Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The Regency officially began in 1811, when King George III went permanently insane and his son George, Prince of Wales, was sanctioned to rule England in his place as Regent. The political Regency lasted until 1820, when George IV was crowned.
What was life like outside of pride and Prejudice?
Outside of the genteel world we see in Pride and Prejudice, a third of the country’s population lived on the verge of starvation, spurring food riots across the countryside.
What is Jane Austen’s setting in Pride and Prejudice?
Though the rural countryside in which Austen’s novels are set seems at a far remove from the tumultuousness of the period, the world of Pride and Prejudice bears the traces of turmoil abroad. As Gillian Russell writes, “The hum of wartime, if not the blast or cry of battle, pervades [Austen’s] fiction.”
What is the significance of the Regency period?
The Regency period is important, too, for the ways in which art and architecture developed and in the timeline of history the Regency period occurs just after the end of the French Revolution and just before the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Europe.


The 15th Headies Awards Organizers Officially Disqualify Portable As A Nominee (See Details). The upcoming 15th Headies Award has officially disqualified Nigerian singer Portable.
On Tuesday, July 26, they posted on their social media channels that Mr. Habeeb Okikiola had been disqualified. The Headies organizers claim that Portable’s recent behaviour justifies his disqualification.
“The Headies officially disqualifies Mr Habeeb Okikiola ( @portablebaeby ) from its 15th nominees list to further pass a strong message of not condoning reckless and uncouth statements.
The music industry demands all-round excellence, and it is extremely important for young artists being potential role models to exude professional responsibility, proper decorum and have respect for others.”
The 15th Headies Awards Organizers Officially Disqualify Portable As A Nominee (See Details). They added that Portable has been removed from the Best Street Pop Act and Rookie Of The Year categories.
You would recall that Portable was trending for days after he said he is the leader of 1 Million boys and Ajah boys cult. He was also on the news for arranging Boys to beat up DJ Chicken and when his Range was used to crush an Okada Rider in Ogun State.

Pellet stoves provide heat to a nearby space by burning wooden bits. So it can make you wonder if this appliance gets hot to the touch. We researched and asked different experts about this matter, and here’s what they told us.
Touching a pellet stove on its glass or exhaust pipe can be scalding. However, the rest of the stove should only be warm. If certain areas like the top of the appliance feel hotter than average, it might be malfunctioning.
Understanding how a pellet stove works will help ensure that it functions optimally. Continue reading to learn how this heating system works. We’ll also tackle information like the right amount of heat produced by the stove and how to make sure that it supplies quality warmth.
Do Pellet Stoves Burn Hot?
Pellet stoves generally use carbon dioxide (CO2) to burn small pieces of wood or pellets. The heat produced by igniting these fairly small wooden objects is cooler than the high temperature supplied by a traditional wood-burning stove.
Efficient pellet stoves are usually warm to the touch. Although, some parts of these appliances are unsafe to touch during operation. Avoid touching areas like the exhaust pipe and the front glass.
How To Start A Pellet Stove?
Users can expect optimal warmth generated from their pellet stoves if they use these appliances properly. Take note that the processes of operating these systems can differ based on specific models.
In this section, you’ll learn the steps to start both the automatic and manual variants:
Automatic Pellet Stove Startup Guide
- Check the owner’s manual to identify the locations of the different parts, including the hopper and on/off switch.
- Pour your preferred pellets into the hopper. Don’t fill the container to the brim. Instead, pour until you fill the hopper to about 3/4ths its volume. Close the lid afterward.
- Push the on button on the control panel.
- Wait for the flame to rise to about 4 to 6 inches in the firepot. Furthermore, the color of the flame should be bright yellow.
- Turn on the stove’s fan.
Manual Pellet Stove Startup Guide
- Read the owner’s manual to identify the different parts. This owner’s guide should also outline the warnings that come with using the appliance.
- Pour pellets into the hopper until you fill about 3/4ths of its volume. Close the lid after you finish.
- Scoop about two handfuls of wooden pellets and place them into the burn pot until the carafe is full. Doing so should start the fire.
- Apply ignition gel on the top of the pellets and stir the mixture. Avoid using lighter fluid as it can drip through the container, risking damage to the stove.
- Ignite the flame by placing a lit match next to the ignition gel.
- Wait for the fire to rise about 4 to 6 inches before closing the door. This step should take about 1 to 3 minutes to complete.
- Turn on the fan to help prevent the stove from overheating.
Should The Top Of My Pellet Stove Be Hot?
The top of a pellet stove, and other various parts of the system, should only be warm to the touch during operation. Pellet stoves usually have an internal fan that blows air to the heat exchanger. In turn, the appliance uses additional heat to warm the space.
Therefore, something is amiss with the system if the top of a pellet stove emanates scalding temperatures. Turn off the appliance, have it checked if you don’t know or aren’t confident to troubleshoot it.
Still, if you want to try fixing your pellet stove, watch the video below:
How Hot Is The Fire In A Pellet Stove?
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified pellet stoves provide heat to space at an approximate range of 8,000 to 90,000 British Thermal Unit (BTU).
For example, a pellet stove that can produce 42,500 BTU can supply comfortable warmth to a 1,000-square foot space. If the heat produced by a particular stove falls within that range, the appliance is suitable for different homes, including apartments and condominiums.
Why Does Your Pellet Stove Use So Many Pellets?
Heating a large room or if the outside temperature is currently hot can make a pellet stove use more pellets than average. It’s best to turn off the stove if you think it’s exerting more effort to produce heat than usual. Overworking a pellet stove can promote harm to the system, which might lead to a total system shutdown.
Can You Leave A Pellet Stove Unattended?
It’s okay to leave a pellet stove unattended, provided that the appliance is in good working condition. You can leave it burning while you’re out or keep the flame alive overnight as long as the hopper has a sufficient supply of wood.
But take note that a pellet stove can become a fire hazard if it has faults. A malfunctioning stove can introduce an abnormal fire, which can increase in intensity and spread throughout the system. If left unattended, faulty pellet stoves can be the primary cause of house fires.
You shouldn’t leave the pellet stove unattended if:
- It’s not burning wood well.
- Soot or smoke is developing more than usual.
- The pellets don’t feed properly.
- Visible sparks are appearing on the wiring when you turn on the appliance.
You might also find the amount of electricity required to keep a pellet stove running for extended periods. Check out this post to learn more about this appliance’s average energy requirements: How Much Electricity Does A Pellet Stove Use?
Why Is Your Pellet Stove Not Heating Your House?
If your pellet stove isn’t producing enough warmth to your house, it might be encountering issues. Clean the blower or remove a blockage from the intake if there's any. Also, a significant amount of ash might be covering the heat exchangers, insulating the airflow. Think about doing an initial checkup for your pellet stove before requesting professional help.
How Can You Get The Most Heat Out Of A Pellet Stove?
Getting the most value from a pellet stove’s heat ensures that the appliance maintains optimal efficiency in burning wood. The following are some tips to help maintain the stove’s proper functionality:
Regular care and cleaning can help improve the quality of the flame supplied by a pellet stove. Each part will need different frequencies of maintenance. Some examples include:
- Heat exchanger: 7 to 10 times per day
- Firepot: Once per day
- Firebox: Once every 3 to 5 days
- Ash pan: Needs to be emptied after each use
Additionally, you should have your pellet stove deep cleaned at least once every two weeks. If you have the time, deep clean the appliance at least once every three days, especially if you’re using it frequently.
Watch the following video to learn the process to clean your pellet stove:
Also, read the following post to learn more about the importance of cleaning heat-producing appliances: Should You Leave Ashes In A Wood Stove?
Certain pellet stove models will have controls or thermostats that adjust the heat output. Adjusting the thermostat will also alter the fan speed and burn rate, which users can fine-tune for their preferences or requirements. But if you have an older model, you may need to increase or decrease the fan speed manually to control the rate at which the stove burns the pellets.
Think about certain factors when choosing your pellets to burn in the stove for different pellets affect the quality of flame produced. Some of these elements include:
- Type of wood: Organic wood often burns better than composite options.
- BTU: Also called heat output, softwood typically burns hotter than hardwood because of its higher thermal release.
- Ash content: Aim to use pellets with less than 1% of the pellet’s weight. Pellets with over 1% ash content can cause blockage in the stove, leading to risks of lazy flames.
Unlike the traditional wood-burning stove, a pellet stove takes advantage of CO2 to provide warmth to a space. Therefore, the heat produced by a pellet stove is often cooler than its wood-burning counterpart. Users should even be able to touch certain parts of their pellet stoves while these appliances are functioning.
However, avoid touching parts like the glass or exhaust pipe since these components generally contract the most heat from the appliance.
You can leave a pellet stove unattended for extended periods. But keep in mind that it shouldn’t be malfunctioning. Otherwise, a faulty stove might generate more heat than usual, causing the system and its surroundings to catch fire.


An unidentified male pedestrian was killed and a woman was facing citations after she allegedly ran him over Tuesday night on the Northwest Side.

What is a bonded title in Nevada?
A Nevada bonded title is a certificate of title – proving you own your vehicle – with a title surety bond attached. The surety bond allows other parties to file a claim against you if they’re harmed because of your car title issuance.
A surety company financially backs the bond. If someone files a valid claim on the bond, your surety will compensate them any money owed up to the total bond value. You must then repay them in full.
Your bond must remain active for three years – even if you sell it and transfer vehicle ownership. You can transfer ownership to another party in the state of Nevada. You may not be allowed to transfer ownership outside of Nevada. Check with the Nevada DMV to be sure.

by Wayne Simmes:
There is an old adage, “never discuss religion or politics”. I ran afoul of this recently when we visited one of my wife’s relatives. I knew better than to engage in political discussions and I tried my best not to be drawn into what I knew would be a futile discussion. But alas, I have never been accused of being able to hold my fire when it comes to either politics or religion. So in due time, I found myself defending our President when once again it was thrown out that he was the worst President that ever lived and the biggest liar to boot.
I tried to counter with what I believed was the path of least resistance, saying that you cannot hold lying against any politician because they are all liars. Nobody ever was elected to any office in this country by telling the truth. I would bet that all of you can look back on things that politicians have promised and failed to deliver. George H.W. Bush’s famous line, “read my lips, no new taxes” is just one such example.
But looking back on the 2016 Presidential campaign, one candidate stood out for making more promises than most. But amazingly enough, he has delivered on most all of those promises in his first year and a half as our President. That candidate was Donald Trump.
He promised to pull us out of the terribly flawed Iran nuclear deal and this past week he delivered on that promise. He promised to renegotiate the Paris Climate Accord or to pull us out of it and he has delivered on that promise. He promised to bring jobs (including manufacturing jobs) back to America and tens of thousands of those jobs have returned. He promised to appoint conservative justices to the Supreme Court and his first nominee Neil Gorsuch delivered on that promise.
He promised to work to make better trade deals with China and he has been able to do just that. There are many other promises that he made, building a wall, renegotiating NAFTA and TPP that he is working on and I have no doubt that he will manage to fulfill even against the obstructionists in the Democratic and Republican parties.
But perhaps the one promise that he made as have so many before him that he fulfilled when none of his predecessors could, was accomplished this morning. Every president since Ronald Reagan has at one time or another promised to move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and not one of them has delivered on that promise. But Donald Trump proved once again that he is a man of his word. He promised to move our embassy to Jerusalem and this morning our embassy was open for business in Jerusalem.
So for all of you that say that Donald Trump is a liar, please look back at all the things he has said that he would do and notice that for the most part, he has followed through on those promises. And then think about other presidents, such as Obama who drew a red line in the sand and then crawled away when Syria crossed it.
It will be interesting when the leader of North Korea meets with our President, something that has never been done before if he will understand that when Donald Trump says that he is going to do something he speaks the truth.
By and large, I stand by my statement that all politicians are liars, but two things stand out to me. One is that Donald Trump is not a politician and two he is a man of his word.

Safety and Security for Medical Devices with New U.S. House of Representatives Legislation
Inspired by an article from Jim Dempsey, lecturer at the UC Berkeley Law School and a senior policy advisor at the Stanford Cyber Policy Center, I decided to write about the recent legislation approved by the U.S. House of Representatives to address cybersecurity for medical devices and how it relates to open source software security, secure code standards, and static analysis.
The bill H.R. 7667, sponsored by Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-California amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, revising and extending the user-fee programs for prescription drugs, medical devices, generic drugs, and biosimilar biological products.
While this bill covers many items, I want to focus on one important piece of this legislation that is specific to ensuring the cybersecurity of medical devices. This section of the bill indicates that manufacturers of medical devices will have to meet the following three minimum requirements:
- The manufacturer shall have a plan to monitor, identify, and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exploits, including coordinated vulnerability disclosure and procedures.
- The manufacturer shall design, develop, and maintain processes and procedures to ensure the device and related systems are secure. The manufacturer shall make available updates and patches to the medical device and related systems throughout the lifecycle to address known unacceptable and critical vulnerabilities.
- The manufacturer shall provide in the labeling of the medical device a software bill of material (SBoM), including commercial, open-source, and off-the-shelf software components.
The Real Impact of Attacks on Medical Devices
It’s undisputed that medical devices provide critical functionality for medical care. Safety and security must be a top priority not only for patients and doctors but for manufacturers as well. There are documented cases of cyberattacks on medical devices, for example, pacemakers, drug infusion pumps, and imaging equipment. The risks may be understated, as serious health issues and lives are at risk.
Additionally, there have been lawsuits alleging deaths during ransomware attacks in hospitals: one in Alabama, United States where offline medical devices could have caused the death of a newborn, and another in Cologne, Germany, involving a negligent homicide investigation of a case in which an ailing woman was turned away from a hospital under a ransomware attack, whom later died on the way to another hospital.
Finally, it has been more than five years since the famous WannaCry ransomware attack hit hundreds of thousands of Windows devices around the world and affected medical devices in hospitals in the U.S. and U.K.Back to top
Medical Device Security Best Practices
This recent legislation is a positive step as software professionals in regulated industries, including, of course, the healthcare industry, are used to compliance and regulations. The bill is currently in the U.S. Senate, and if it becomes law, this legislation will provide guidance on practices that are not completely new to software and hardware manufacturers; compliance will be required for everyone, including laggards.
Manufacturers of medical devices have to address the safety and security of the embedded systems that are part of medical devices. From every line of code on every component of a medical device to functional and security testing, it’s essential to address quality, safety, and security with the necessary tools and expertise.
As a first step, coding standards guide software developers while writing code, and by following various standards, they can address bugs and security vulnerabilities while improving the quality of the code.
Global organizations have focused on safety and security standards across all programming languages, especially for C and C++, which are predominant in key components of medical device embedded systems. Coding standards have been created and improved over time, acting as a set of rules, techniques, and best practices to help increase the level of security, reliability, and maintainability of the code.
While there are no coding standards specific to the medical space, it’s highly recommended to follow the guidance of common coding standards such as MISRA and CERT, which can go a long way in terms of producing better quality and more secure software in medical devices.
Key Medical Device Functionality and Regulatory Standards
Recommended standards increase the chances of producing safer and more secured medical devices. Here is a list of the key medical device functionality and regulatory standards:
- IEC 62304 is a functional safety standard used for medical devices that covers software lifecycle processes.
- ISO 14971 is a risk management regulatory standard for medical devices.
- ISO 13485 is a regulatory standard that specifies the quality management requirements for medical devices.
- IEC 61508 is an umbrella functional safety standard that provides a framework for safety lifecycle activities, titled “Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems” (E/E/PE, or E/E/PES).
Medical device manufacturers complying with the above standards also have a commercial advantage when publicizing their safety credentials.
Complementary to this new U.S. Legislation is existing guidance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that is specific to medical devices. The FDA published a document, a draft of guidelines that expects security throughout the total product life cycle from design to manufacturing practices.
In Europe, the European Commission with the Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG) issued Guidance on Cybersecurity for medical devices. MDCG guidance also refers to secure design and manufacturing as well as the means of security verification and validation in testing. Methods can include security feature testing, fuzz testing, static analysis, and penetration testing.
Also known as static application security testing, or SAST, static analysis scans applications’ source code and looks for specific flaws based on the corresponding programming language and framework used. Static Analysis ensures that first-party source code does not have flaws that may lead to vulnerabilities and exploits. These kinds of tools enable development and security teams to analyze thousands or even millions of lines of code rapidly.
Static analysis, in addition to searching for flaws and vulnerabilities in the source code, applies rules and recommendations stated in coding standards. This could go a long way in ensuring safety and security in the source code of medical devices.
Open Source Security
Today, all software uses open-source software, from the programming language and framework used to critical functionality available in open source libraries and technology stacks. Open source security refers to identifying all the open source components and libraries in the software. Software composition analysis (SCA) tools provide visibility of third-party software and identify open source license-related risks. SCA tools correlate known security vulnerabilities with the corresponding open source libraries in use.
With SCA, medical device manufacturers can identify security risks and produce SBoMs as required in the new U.S. legislation for cybersecurity in medical devices.

Medical Device Security and the New U.S. Legislation
All of the above are important factors in complying with the new legislation requirements. Applying coding and safety standards with the use of static analysis tools and identifying vulnerabilities in open source software with SCA tools allow organizations to produce safer medical devices. Implementing security best practices, vulnerability remediation practices, software patches, and vulnerability disclosure procedures will benefit consumers and the industry as a whole.
Today, cyberattacks are common, and news about ransomware and protecting consumers is frequent. In the case of medical devices, patient safety is the objective of this new legislation.Back to top


Paradoxical undressing is one of those strange things that an investigator can come across, more especially in the depths of winter, when the temperature drops down to a level that tickles the human body into shutdown, commonly known as hypothermia.
Search and Rescue specialists and associated medical professionals well understand the term ‘Paradoxical Undressing’ and its sibling phenomenon ‘Terminal Burrowing’, which occur almost exclusively in situations where the outside environmental temperature is below 10 Celsius, or in the case of prolonged emersion in water, below 20 Celsius.
The family of missing geologist Daniel Robinson plans to conduct another public desert search on Feb. 25 in hopes of examining areas not yet scoured since he disappeared in Buckeye 19 months ago.
The search comes a week after a separate search conducted by Buckeye Police Department yielded no additional clues.
Prosecutors in San Francisco have dropped all charges against two men accused in the murder of famed private investigator Jack Palladino two years ago, citing a lack of evidence. Palladino, whose clients included presidents, corporate whistleblowers and Hollywood moguls, died Feb. 1, 2021, outside his home after suffering a brain injury resulting from a drive-by attempt to rob his camera, San Francisco police said at the time.
The private investigator being sued by Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve has finally responded in court to the lawsuit. David McNeely of 5 Alpha Industries, through his attorneys, is seeking to have the case dismissed.
McNeely is also seeking “at a later time” a protective order to avoid disclosing the client who hired him to place a GPS tracking unit on Schieve’s vehicle last year.
The U.S. investigators are hired under false pretenses by authoritarian governments to do their “dirty work,” the F.B.I. says.

Today, we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through reflecting on our history and volunteering our time to help our communities. At Google, we see his enormous contributions and his impact on the fight for equality as reflected in Americans’ search interests. He’s the most-searched civil rights movement leader to date, and search interest for his “I Have a Dream” speech spikes in the U.S. every January, the month of his birthday.
This year, in honor of Dr. King, we invite you to visit "Still Dreaming," a miniature gallery created by Tammie Knight, designer and owner of Small Matters Miniatures, with photography from Google Arts & Culture archives curated by mixed-media artist Adrian Octavius Walker.
The gallery takes viewers on a journey through Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. It features rare photos of him taken throughout his lifetime, and you can explore the gallery thanks to footage taken by Nathaniel King.
"Dr. King was determined to fulfill his dream of one day being treated as an equal. He continuously took action in service of that dream, even when the outcome was uncertain,” Walker says. “These images capture his drive and passion that inspired others to dream of equality in the face of uncertainty, both then and now.”
The miniature gallery also features today’s annual Google Doodle, created by Pittsburgh-based guest artist Noa Denmon. With artwork depicting parallel scenes from the 1960s and modern times, the Doodle celebrates the civil rights activist who has inspired multiple generations to join in the pursuit of equality and social justice.
Since 2004, the most searched topic in the U.S. for quotations by Dr. King is "love," bringing to mind one of his most-remembered quotations, from his 1963 book, “Strength to Love:” “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

On this date in 1945, Vietnam declared independence from both Japan and France.
How do you end up needing to declare independence from two very different nations? Well, France had colonized Vietnam in the 1800s and maintained control of the Indochina area until World War II. During that war, Japan invaded Vietnam. Vietnam went through a lot of especially tough times, and a leader named Ho Chi Minh helped wrest control of the city of Hanoi from the Japanese. More fighting during WWII and afterwords resulted in a divided Vietnam, with Hanoi and the rest of North Vietnam being Communist under Ho Chi Minh, and the south being ruled by some not-very-democratic leaders. And this division, of course, led to the long, grisly Vietnam War.
The war finally ended in 1975 and was unified under a Communist government. The nation has undergone a series of reforms and a period of great economic growth, although it still faces some pretty huge problems.
Vietnam's story is incredibly sad, and yet there are wonderful things to know about the land and the people. The Belgian singer Pham Quynh Ahn sings about her Vietnamese ancestry, saying that she knows her parents' homeland only through movies—only “the sights of war.” But, she sings, “One day I'll touch your soil / One day I'll finally know my soul.” Check out this lovely singer and her wonderful song—and enjoy some beautiful sights of Vietnam.

In a few weeks, we'll know just how precious "The Precious" truly is. At a movie prop auction on Thursday, Dec. 5, dozens of items from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy will be sold off to the highest bidder, including a prop golden Ring of Power that was used on set.
Lord of the collectors
The lots will all be coming from one passionate collector who amassed the items over the course of a decade. In both amount and value, his collection is second only to Peter Jackson, the man who directed the three Lord of the Rings movies. He also produced The Hobbit trilogy of films, the second of which will be hitting theaters eight days after the auction is set to take place.
A Shire-full of props
The auction will feature an impressive bill of goods that will include not only the sought-after (both in Middle Earth and regular Earth) ring, but also the Elven-crafted sword "Sting," which was used by Frodo Baggins, the story's main character, to fend off all manner of evil as he traversed his way to Mount Doom in his quest to destroy the Ring of Power and its dark master, Sauron.
Among the other items of movie memorabilia for sale are a pair of prosthetic feet worn by Sean Astin, the actor behind Frodo's trusted compatriot, protector and traveling companion, Samwise Gamgee. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to walk a mile – or several thousand – in a hobbit's "shoes," this is your chance.
Many of the other characters who made up the Fellowship of the Ring – the group entrusted to escort Frodo and the Ring of Power to Mount Doom – will also be well represented at the Hollywood prop auction. Aragorn, Ranger of the North and eventual King of Men, who led the party as they made their way across Middle Earth, then laid down his sword, which is known as Anduril, once Sauron was defeated. But now you can pick it back up on Dec. 5. All it'll take is an estimated bid of $50,000-$70,000.
The brilliant white staff, which Gandalf acquired after he defeated the Balrog and ascended to the level of White Wizard, will also be available. Sadly, though, the more weathered cane he carried when he was still Gandalf the Grey won't be part of the inventory. That means you won't be able to stand at the threshold of your home, ready to greet the postman by slamming the staff into your porch and crying out "You shall not pass!" At least, not if you want to remain true to Lord of the Rings mythology.
Lord of the Rings history
Written between 1937 and 1949 by J.R.R. Tolkien, the Lord of the Rings trilogy of books are credited by many as being the greatest fantasy novels of all-time. More than 50 years after they were first released to the public, the books were turned into movies that only helped add to the story's remarkable run of public success, earning more than $1 billion in theaters worldwide.

She has built most of her net worth by undertaking in a variety of musicals over the span of her profession. Considering that 2013, her net worth has expert a remarkable raise as Idina grew to become the voice actress of the major character Elsa in Disney’s motion picture “Frozen”.
Idina Menzel Wiki, Age, Bio
Even although she under no circumstances obtained any voice training classes at an early age, Idina loved to sing and commenced carrying out in entrance of little audiences in bar mitzvah ceremonies and weddings when she was 15 yrs aged. Idina experienced her Broadway phase debut in 1996 when she appeared in the rock musical “Rent”.

In mid-February I first wrote about how Daily Getaways will be returning this year. For those of you not familiar, Daily Getaways is a promotion, sponsored by the US Travel Association, that has been offered annually since 2011 to encourage US tourism.
The promotion consists of all kinds of travel packages, including offers on car rentals, hotel stays, loyalty program points, and theme park admission. A couple of weeks ago I shared a preview of the promotions that are available this year, and last week the promotion formally kicked off. So far we’ve seen opportunities to purchase discounted Choice Privileges and IHG Rewards Club points.
Today at 1PM ET you’ll have the opportunity to purchase discounted Hilton Honors points. This is an offer that has the potential to be valuable.
How cheap are Hilton points through Daily Getaways?
Shortly Hilton will be selling three types of Honors points packages, as follows:
- 30,000 Hilton Honors points for $150 (450 packages available, limit three per member)
- 100,000 Hilton Honors points for $500 (275 packages available, limit one per member)
- 250,000 Hilton Honors points for $1,250 (220 packages available, limit one per member)
No matter what package you buy, the cost is 0.5 cents per point (this is marginally more expensive than last year, when they sold them for 0.48 cents each). If you wanted to, you could buy a total of five packages, for a total of 440,000 points at a cost of $2,200.
When Hilton offers a bonus on purchased points, typically the lowest cost you’ll achieve is 0.5 cents per point, which is the equivalent of a 100% bonus on purchased points. So this Daily Getaways offer is exactly the same rate you’d usually pay during a sale. The benefit is that buying points through Daily Getaways doesn’t count towards the annual cap of 160,000 Honors points per year, which is the usual limit of how many points you can buy.
Daily Getaways purchases should be coded as travel, so you’ll want to make your purchase with a card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (3x points), Citi ThankYou® Premier Card (3x points), or Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (2x points). Personally I value Ultimate Rewards points at 1.7 cents each, so using the Sapphire Reserve would be like getting a 5.1% “return” on spend, lowering the real cost to ~0.47 cents per point.
Should you buy Hilton points for 0.5 cents each?
Last year Hilton radically changed their Honors program. They eliminated their traditional award chart, and rather moved to more variable pricing. However, the good news is that there’s still value to be had in the program, as the top properties still won’t cost you more than 95,000 points per night.
Both before and after the changes I value Hilton Honors points at ~0.4 cents each, though there are instances where you can get a lot more value out of Hilton points than that.
For example, the Conrad Maldives is $3,000+ per night in peak season when factoring in taxes and fees (which is totally ridiculous, of course). Meanwhile a redemption costs 95,000 points per night. At a rate of 0.5 cents per point, that’s like paying $475 for a night there.
To take it a step further, if you have elite status and stay five nights on points then the fifth night is free, lowering the average nightly cost to 76,000 points. Furthermore, the above cash rates don’t include the 10% service charge and 12% tax, which don’t apply if you’re redeeming points.
To do a direct comparison, if you booked the cheapest advance purchase rate for five nights (December 22-27), here’s the cost:
Or you could pay a total of 380,000 points, which at a valuation of 0.5 cents each, would cost you $1,900 for the five night stay, or $380 per night.
On top of that Hilton has adjusted their Points & Money awards, where you can now redeem part points and part cash towards any redemption. There are many instances where you can get way over 0.5 cents of value per point through that system.
The Daily Getaways offer for Hilton Honors points is potentially worth considering, in my opinion. This is the lowest cost you’ll see on purchased Hilton points, and the other good thing is that you can exceed the typical limit on purchased points. That means you can buy enough points for a five night stay at Hilton’s top properties, for example.
While I wouldn’t speculatively buy points through this promotion, I do think it can represent an excellent deal with a specific use in mind.
