Patient Safety Is Affected by The Design of Your Facility

When it comes to receiving treatment, both in patient and out-patient, our safety is always a concern.  Whether a family member, friend, or even oneself is receiving care it is crucial that safety as a patient is of utmost concern for the facility where we are seeking treatment.  Accidents that occur within a facility whether they are minor, like slipping in the bathroom or major an error in medication received, cost billions of dollars per year.  The harm that is caused by ineffective patient safety measures don’t just affect the facility and patient, caregivers can also be scarred emotionally.

Patient care and safety is just one of the many reasons it is important to design your medical facility in such a manner that is basically fool proof.  You will see this demonstrated in a million different ways throughout the facility including:

Standardized patient and treatment rooms:

When rooms throughout the facility are designed in the same manner throughout it helps to prevent errors from occurring.  Rooms are set up in a manner that considers the predominance of right-handed professionals and patients.  This helps to ensure that the room is set up in the most efficient manner possible for the greatest good.

Standardized facilities take the guess work out of patient treatment and therefore help to ensure the best possible outcome in patient care.   Efficiency within the medical facility allows for a precise, standardized approach that allows treatment to be done quickly and safely.  Familiarity within the space, knowing where you can find what you need when you need it within a familiar environment that keeps patients safe and the work flow moving along competently.  When variation is removed all the guess work is taken out of the equation and thus error in treatment.

This is especially necessary when specialized treatment is sought.  Radiation oncology departments are just one of the many departments within a hospital that use a standardized approach in treatment room layout.  Radiation is an intense option in treating cancer using several large scaled devices like linear accelerators and CT scanners to find and treat cancerous tumors.

Although each patient’s treatment is unique the way it is received is not.  Simplifying the routine elements allows doctors and nurses to focus on the specific requirements of each patient.  Physicians can concentrate on patient information, dosing information, and the physical care of the patient over being concerned on where to find basic supplies.

Basic Principles To Promote Patient Safety:

As stated by author, John Reiling in Safe by Design: Designing Safety in Health Care Facilities, Process, and Culture, facilities must follow basic principles to promote patient safety.  This includes:

  • Being Patient Centered
  • Environmentally Conducive
  • Resourceful/Efficient
  • Safe
  • Superior Care
  • Advanced Technology
  • Knowledgeable and Approachable Staff

As an independent LINAC service company, Acceletronics is dedicated to delivering the best equipment performance and services for linear accelerators and CT scanners across all major brands and models, as well as new and refurbished LINAC systems for sale.  More information can be found online at https://www.acceletronics.com/.

Teaming up in their hometown, Vlaardingen, Mitchell and Jan formed LNY TNZ with the shared passion of putting a new twist on hard hitting EDM. As they released their music online, they were quickly noticed in the Dutch music scene as a DJ tandem, known for their totally unique sound. Even then, they were trying to push the genre boundaries and gained support from leading artists.

Over the next few years, LNY TNZ tracks received radio play worldwide. They toured at major festivals and events around the globe. Following a string of tours, Mitchell and Jan took a break to study, travel, and work on other art forms, including film directing.

LNY TNZ recorded several underground bootlegs, and quietly returned to the scene. After re-establishing their studio in Rotterdam, it didn’t take long for fans to notice and welcomed the duo back from hiatus. LNY TNZ kicked off some hits in succession, and in collaboration with some of top artists in the space. They’ve recently toured around the world, stopping at festivals including Tomorrowland, EDC Vegas, Mysteryland and Defqon to name a few.

LNY TNZ continuously pushes the boundaries of the EDM genre, famously embracing the term FVCK GENRES. Their music is proof of this, as they collaborate with rappers, vocalists, and DJs to expand the sounds and reach of their music.

Defective Airbags

Contrary to popular belief, automobile airbags do not always fire in a collision. However under certain circumstances if they do not and injury occurs, this can be a defect in the automobile.

However, it is important to understand what an airbag can and cannot do. Airbags can be helpful in preventing head injuries and brain damage in both side and head on collisions. They are not very useful in rear end collisions when an individual bounces back and forth. Even so, while sensors are usually placed in the front part of the vehicle, other sensors could be placed in the rear of the vehicle to compensate for the longer periods of passenger reactions in a rear end collision. Inirtial switches can also, and are used by some manufacturers, to also sense unusual collition forces on a vehicle and thus firing the airbags. Thus to determine if the airbag system is defective requires a skilled attorney who has at his disposal engineers knowledgeable in this area.

In some automobiles, the airbag is also designed to work in conjunction with the seatbelt to not only restrain the person in the seat but also prevent movement during the crash sequence. Seatbelts can be designed with what is called a ballistic device that tightens the belt in a collision so that the body does not move around while the crash is taking place. The ballistic device is usually part of the airbag system and operates from the same sensors. Thus, if the airbag does not fire in a collision, the seatbelt also must be examined to see if it did its job or failed.

Low Back Exercise - Core Stability Exercises

This low back exercise for non-specific lower back pain is slightly more difficult than the previous ones. Make sure you can comfortably perform these more simple exercises for lower back pain before moving on to this one.

Three Point Kneeling - Arm Lifts

back strengthening exercise

Pilates is great for improving core stability. I own this *Pilates book and use it myself. It has a great selection of exercises and is well illustrated. Shame there is no DVD to go with it but its still a great start if you are beginning Pilates.

Climb on your hands and knees, with your knees hip width apart and your arms shoulder width.

Find the neutral position for your pelvis. Remember, finding a neutral position is important for this type of core stability exercise. Read more about it on this core stability exercises for lower back pain page.

Tighten your lower abdominal muscles to hold neutral and lift an arm. Try not to allow any rotational movement at the waist, no twisting or sagging.

 Keep breathing!

Try and hold the contraction in your abdominal muscles for 10 seconds or 10 breaths 10 times in a row alternating between arms. If that is too difficult then do less and build up.

Difficulty – moderate

Please check with your healthcare provider to make sure these ideas are right for you.

This dynamic lumbar stabilization exercise strengthens the abdominal muscles and trains them to cope with daily activities and movement by making them work hard in a certain direction. I would give these exercises to someone who had a problem controlling the rotational or twisting movements of the spine. Get your physiotherapist to assess your particular needs to see if you may benefit from trying these out.

When you can comfortably do this you could move on to this next core stabilization exercise.

National Govts Lead Effort to Put Sustainability at Heart of Supply Chains

Oct 2, 2017

Good Growth Launch

As more countries seek to meet market demand for sustainable agriculture, leadership from key players in national governments is being recognized as essential in the shift toward the large-scale transformation of major commodity sectors. Despite the challenges, the launch of the Good Growth Partnership, in September 2017 at the UN headquarters in New York, was a testament to the willingness of key governments to take charge and to drive critical reform in the best interest of their economies and the environment.

Opening the high-level event, Global Head of the UNDP’s Green Commodities Programme, Andrew Bovarnick, emphasized the significance of government leadership within the Good Growth Partnership.

“I’d particularly like to thank our partner countries, Indonesia, Brazil, Paraguay and Liberia for joining this partnership and for traveling so far. I really believe that in these types of events, that we hold at a global level, they are as powerful as the decision makers in the room and the real decision makers are in those countries,” said Mr. Bovarnick.

Speaking on behalf of Liberia, where the palm oil industry is rapidly expanding, the Minister of Agriculture, Seklau E. Wiles, explained that while the country is excited about what the industry can do for poverty reduction the government is also well aware of the need to manage it responsibly especially with respect to land rights and the issuance of concession titles.

“The Government of Liberia has allocated 6,000 hectares as an area of interest for palm oil production. But since really investing in this sector, from 2009 and onwards, we have been experiencing some problems and now we are really looking at sustainable production and the consideration of livelihoods as the sector is growing quickly,” explained Minister Seklau E. Wiles whose ministry aims to strengthen an existing, national sustainable palm oil working group, with the support of the Good Growth Partnership. This working group is expected to align all actors related to the palm oil sector in Liberia.

A common theme running throughout the remarks from the government leaders, at the Good Growth Partnership launch, was the need to enable sustainable development that was defined as balancing the needs of their people and growing populations with respect to environmental protection.

“We support the cause of the Good Growth Partnership that, among others, seeks to balance social, economic and environmental objectives, which are inline with the priorities of the Government of Indonesia,” said Musdalifah Machmud Indonesia’s Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture a the Ministry of Coordinating Economic Affairs.

While acknowledging the challenges and barriers to achieving sustainability, Paraguay’s Minister for Environment, Rolando de Barros Barreto, emphasized his country’s commitment to the environment as well as its efforts to mitigate carbon emissions.

“We are one of the countries with the least amount of emissions in the world and we want to continue that way. This has been possible through the generous support we’ve received from the Global Environment Facility and their dedicated teams at the United Nations Development Programme, who have given us the technical tools to take the path toward sustainability,” said Minister de Barros Barreto.

Paraguay’s Vice Minister of Livestock, Marco Medina, echoed the sentiment of Minister de Barros Barreto, reiterating the tremendous economic opportunities that the soy and beef sector has brought to his country but also noted the need to rethink the model of development and conservation.

The Vice Minister explained that over the past 15 years Paraguay has transformed its reputation as a minor exporter of beef, once worth an estimated $50 million, to 21 times that in 2017.

“No country in the world has ever experienced such a growth of beef production and exports. I think it’s also important to say that during this process… we also decreased poverty from 50 per cent to less than 20 per cent in the country,” he added.

“However we are now at a point in which we understand that we have to start working with a new development model… we understand the importance for the new generation to inherit a country with a good social economic status and also an environmental heritage,” said Vice Minister Medina.

Meanwhile, Brazil’s Deputy Secretary of Biodiversity at the Ministry of Environment, Fernando Lyrio, stressed the importance for governments like Brazil to highlight their efforts and also areas other stakeholders can support in supply chain reform, particularly when it comes to international stakeholders.

“The government has an important role. It’s essential that the government gives the right signs to the private sector, to the consumers, to the foreign governments on how it recognizes the environment,” said Mr. Lyrio.

08 November 2014

Sooo sorry about the late posting but here it is! The first post of the month! Yay! We were invited last month to a restaurant at Pantai Indah Kapuk, which you might be familiar with, it's Carnivor. They're offering a new breakfast menu which is available only on Tuesday - Sunday at 07:30 am - 11:00 am. Why not at Mondays? Maybe cause they also doesn't like to wake up early for Mondays. Lol! Most of the breakfast menus consist of eggs and my favorite, pork! So now you can satisfy your cravings earlier! I'm personally not a morning person, so I might probably take my breakfast half an hour before 11 if I ever decided to grab some breakfast here.

Anyway, Carnivor is not really new and they specialize on meats and bbq ribs actually, which is a bit different than this breakfast menu that they're making but trust me, this breakfast menu is outstanding!

Again, I apologize for not taking photos of their interior for some reason.

Sizzling pan of homemade tomato, onion, studded with sausage, ham, crowned with two eggs, toasted bread & mesclun salad.

Okay, I don't usually like tomato...but THIS was so delicious that I forgot all about it! The amazing dished completed with generous amount of diced sausages and hams, topped with two beautiful sunny side ups, served with warm and crispy toast and salad, it's a breakfast to die for!! I love how they described this dish with 'crowned with two eggs' cause it really was like a King of breakfast!

Option of white toast or yeast toast top with tomato or cream sauce with melted mozzarella cheese
Meat Lover (55K)
Bacon And Egg (48K)
Pepperoni (48K)
Mix Cheese (48K)

A Croque Monsieur is often used as a trusty dish when it comes to breakfasts. It's a really simple dish, which is perfect to start a day with! The Croque Monsieur here comes with 4 options for their toppings and with different prices as well. 2 of the options has pork in it; meat lover & bacon and egg. The one I tried was the bacon and egg, the one that contains pork (of course!), might I say that this was not the most photogenic dish but the taste really turned the table around! I especially love their melted mozzarella! Yum!!

Poached egg, holladaise sauce, diced potato, sausage bratwurst, pork ham, and toasted bread.

This is my second favorite after the Shakshouka! The ingredients was also kind of similar but with different processing AND without the tomato!! Yay! One more crucial thing, this dish contains my favorite, pork! The whole dish was also drizzled with creamy Hollandaise sauce that will make you crave for more!! Perfect!

Let's take a closer look to this heavenly meal!

Streaky Bacon (49K)
Smoked Ham (45K)
Salmon (65K)

Another popular breakfast meal is an Egg Benedict, you can almost find this in most breakfast menus! Who could resist those creamy egg yolks mixed together with their beautiful Hollandaise sauce?? I just love some Egg Benedict, especially if their poached eggs are made perfectly! Anyway, for this menu, they also has a few option for the proteins. This one's the streaky bacon, so they'd still have the mushrooms and eggs but with different meat toppings, you can also choose ham or salmon. All of them sounds appetizing!

The photo below is the Salmon one and the amount of salmon was really generous! The taste can be a bit overwhelming but it's too good that you just can't stop munching them down!

2 eggs to your liking, baked beans, streaky pork bacon, sausage bratwurst, sauteed mushroom, and white toast.

A complete set of breakfast that has every nutrients you need to start your day's activities! If you're in need of something simple, filling, and delicious, this might be your cup of tea! What more could you need?

Let's continue on to something a bit more fancy! Well, I just said it's fancy because they use puff pastry as the buns. The surprising thing is that this was not on the menu and it came to our table like a bonus! Unfortunately, I didn't get to try this one, but inside it was the typical eggs, ham, and Hollandaise sauce, which is what most of the dishes here are all about! It looked amazing though and I bet the puff pastry was delightfully crispy and moist in the same time! Must've been yummy!

This was like small pieces of hash brown!

To satisfy the sweet tooth, we'll start of with this Affogato! There's the avocado one and also a tiramisu one. I chose the avocado one but it tasted kinda weird. The chocolate sprinkle you see on the ice cream, I don't really know what it was but it kinda tasted like brewed tea leaves. Other than that it tasted okay, just can't take that disturbing sprinkles!

Original (30K)
Chocolate (35K)
Strawberry (35K)
Hazelnut (35K)

When it comes to something sweet for breakfast, waffle is never left out of the options! Waking up to the smell of cooking waffles is always my type of morning! I chose this universally loved chocolate topping out of all other toppings you can choose from. Out of all the desserts here, this was my favorite! It's simple but packs a punch! The warm crispy waffle with chocolate syrup and a little bit of cheese on top, mixed with a delicious chocolate ice cream!! Heaven!

A nice caramelized apple with crumbles and vanilla ice cream. The apples was a bit undercooked though, since I like it better if the warm apple were soft and mushy to get that perfect mix of texture when you eat it with the crumbles and ice cream. Can you imagine the party that'll happen in your mouth?

Warm oven baked bread with raisin served with a scoop of ice cream.

This is the highlight of today's dessert! Slices of Baguette soaked with condensed milk, so it's super sweet and soggy. Better eaten while still warm and add some ice cream to have that crashed temperature that'll just explode beautifully in your mouth! I'm even craving for this as I'm writing it!!

By the way, they now uses iPad for the menu! Don't you just love how technology is improving nowadays? Carnivor has few outlets, like at Sunter and Kelapa Gading, most located in North Jakarta. Well, I do hope they consider West Jakarta as their next branch! :P Thank you Mr. Adriantomo and  Mr. Ridwan as the managing director from Carnivor PIK for the great food and experience!

Welcome to this gorgeous hotel! I'm not kidding, I was literally in awe upon entering the place! It's not a super grand and luxurious hotel but more of a luxurious house. I guess that's they're concept, an expensive looking home sweet home, even the staffs are all super friendly unlike other hotel, where you need to be posh, polite and distant!

The restaurant we went to is called Alto Restauran & Bar and the hotel is Four Seasons! While the lobby is pretty and mostly white colored, the restaurants is more edgy with black and red theme, a sexy combo!

Though this is still a fine dining fancy restaurant, the staffs are all pretty friendly and it's a place where you can just wear casual outfit and not be judged! Seriously, we need more hotels like this! The restaurant has a few divided rooms and one of them has this little bar in it!

An exquisite display of their wine cellar!

An utmost romantic corner here! By the way, this place is blessed with amazing city view, it's the perfect dinner date spot!

Now that they've taken you breathless with all those beautiful interior and view, let's get you filled up!

Beginning our dinner with either white or red wine is an awesome way to go!

Before our meals are served, these delicious complimentary rolls and canapes are served to tickle our taste buds! The onion rolls are the best fyi!

Burrata cheese, assorted cherry tomatoes, asparagus, balsamic caviar.

It looks gorgeous and appetizing, just too bad that I'm not a big fan of tomatoes..and even then, I was able to enjoy this! The white round thing there is the burrata cheese, which doesn't really taste like your ordinary cheese and it's sprinkled with this somewhat like rock-salt on it and it's super salty!

Foie gras ravioli, parmigiano cream sauce, olive powder.

My most favorite dish this evening! Yeap, you heard me right! I might not be a big fan of foie gras but this one doesn't have that grainy texture that I don't like and it's covered with yummy parmigiano cream sauce! How can I ever resist that? Be sure to be careful when biting into the middle part for the juice will just explode!

Pan fried Tasmanian salmon, caviar, carrot puree, lemon sauce.

We were given 2 choices of mains, this salmon and the lamb. Upon reading the description, I immediately decided on the salmon cause well, I love salmons and it sounds delicious. Well it does turns out good, though I'd prefer if the salmon was a bit more raw. Pour a generous amount of the lemon sauce and enjoy!

Braised lamb shank ossobuco, saffron risotto, garlic bread.

I never thought that this will overshadow the salmon. It's super tender and doesn't have that bad lamb smell at all! The saffron risotto is also on perfect point! I definitely wished I got this one instead..but the salmon is also good, so I guess I'm not entirely regret it!

Lemon mousse, almond sponge, meringue, candied basil.

Desserts are always what I look forward to the most and this one didn't let me down at all! Though I don't usually prefer lemon, this one is actually nice, since it's not overly tangy but leaning more to the sweet side. The almond sponge is definitely textured more of an almond rather than a sponge, which is great for it gives a great texture to balance out the super soft mousse! All of the tangy lemon is also balanced with the sweet meringue that looks like a chalk, cute!

The basil is also a great art, tho not many seem to like it. It's actually sweet, well as sweet as a candied basil can get, so it's like there's a layer of glaze over it but it still has that spice of the basil. Such a unique taste!

Well, it's definitely a comfortable place for couples, families, and even group of friends! When you want to go to somewhere fancy but still a bit casual then this will be perfect! Thank you for the beautiful meal Alto and Four Seasons hotel!

Attack on American University in Afghanistan leaves 13 dead

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A brazen, hours-long militant attack on the American University of Afghanistan ended early Thursday after at least 13 people were killed and dozens wounded in the assault on the sprawling campus on Kabul’s outskirts, a government spokesman said.

The attack underscored how despite efforts by the Afghan authorities to improve security, militants in this country are still able to stage large-scale and complex attacks, including in the capital.

The dead included seven students and one teacher, according to Afghan authorities. Three police officers and two security guards were also killed, the Interior Ministry said.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the assault but suspicions are pointing to the Taliban. The group’s spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, would only tell the media that the Taliban are “investigating.”
President Ashraf Ghani laid the blame on neighboring Pakistan, accusing it of supporting the Taliban in sanctuaries across the border, and saying the attack had been “organized” in Pakistan. Ghani spoke by telephone with Pakistan’s army chief, Raheel Sharif, and demanded “serious action,” his office said. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry “strongly condemned” the attack.

Pakistan’s military also issued a statement on the conversation between Ghani and Sharif, saying “Pakistani soil would not be allowed to be used for any type of terrorism in Afghanistan.”

It said Kabul had provided three cellphone numbers “allegedly used during the university attack.” An investigation had traced them to an Afghan company “whose spillover signal affects some areas along the Pak-Afghan border,” it said, without further detail.

Ghani’s statement also raised the death toll to 13, saying that a teacher, identified on social media by the as Naqib Khpolwak, a graduate of Stanford Law School and a doctoral candidate at Oxford University, was also among those killed.

“Most of the dead were killed by gunshots near the windows of their classrooms,” said Sediq Sediqqi, the spokesman for the Ministry of Interior. The ministry said 36 people were wounded, including nine police officers.

The assault began just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, a time when hundreds of students typically attend evening classes at the prestigious university, with a suicide car bombing at the university’s entrance.

The blast breached the security walls and allowed two other militants, armed with grenades and automatic weapons, to enter the campus, Sediqqi said. The siege of the university lasted almost nine hours, before police killed the two assailants around 3:30 a.m., he added.

More than 200 people, mostly students who had been trapped in university buildings, were rescued by special police units.

Ghani’s office earlier said he had visited some of the wounded in the hospital and extended condolences to the victims’ families. He condemned the assault as an “attack on educational institutions and public places” and said it would “strengthen our goal to eliminate the roots of terrorism.”

The university, located on the western edge of Kabul, was established in 2006 to offer liberal arts courses modeled on the U.S. system, and has more than 1,000 students currently enrolled.

The university remained closed on Thursday and it wasn’t clear when it would reopen. Faculty leaders could not immediately be reached for comment.

The U.S. Embassy in Kabul called the attack a “cruel and cowardly act” and said it was “ready to assist Afghan authorities with their continuing investigation in bringing those responsible to justice.”

The U.N.’s assistance mission in Afghanistan called the attack an “atrocity.” Pernille Kardel, UNAMA’s acting head, said in a statement she hoped the attack would not discourage Afghan youth from “continued learning and attaining the knowledge and skills critical to Afghanistan’s prosperity.”

Associated Press photographer Massoud Hossaini was in a classroom with 15 students when he heard an explosion on the southern flank of the campus.

“I went to the window to see what was going on, and I saw a person in normal clothes outside. He shot at me and shattered the glass,” Hossaini said, adding that he fell on the glass and cut his hands.

The students then barricaded themselves inside the classroom, pushing chairs and desks against the door, and staying on the floor. Hossaini said at least two grenades were thrown into the classroom, wounding several of his classmates.

Hossaini and about nine students later managed to escape from the campus through an emergency gate.

“As we were running, I saw someone lying on the ground face down. They looked like they had been shot in the back,” he said.

Hossaini and the other students took refuge in a residential house near the campus, and were later evacuated by Afghan security forces.

The Pentagon said U.S. military advisers were on the ground with Afghan security forces at the university. Spokesman Adam Stump said the forces had been embedded with the Afghan units.

The attack came two weeks after two university staffers, an American and an Australian, were kidnapped from their car by unknown gunmen driving home from the campus after evening classes on a Sunday night. Their abductors were men dressed in Afghan military uniforms, officials said at the time. The whereabouts of the abductees remains unknown.

The Taliban have been fighting to overthrow the Kabul government for 15 years, and regard foreign civilians as legitimate targets.

Last month, Kabul was shaken by a massive suicide bombing that struck a peaceful rally by Afghanistan’s minority ethnic Hazara community, killing more than 80 people and wounding hundreds.

That attack was claimed by the Islamic State group, which emerged last year in Afghanistan as an affiliate of the militant group fighting in Iraq and Syria. It was the IS Afghan branch’s first assault in Kabul and the deadliest attack in the Afghan capital since the U.S.-led invasion to oust the Taliban regime in 2001.

Associated Press writers Rahim Faiez and Amir Shah in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Munir Ahmed in Islamabad contributed to this report.

When I published my second novel, Bought, I was anxious to promote it. The book was my attempt to fictionalize a lot of research I’d done for a magazine story about hookers and also a way to examine the lives of women who weren’t quite prostitutes because they didn’t, say, spread their legs for wads of cash but nevertheless allowed men to pay their bills. I was fascinated by the double standard that exists—the way women judge other women for pursuing such a lifestyle when nearly every female alive participates in this dynamic in some form or another.

The business of mostly younger, attractive women being subsidized by mostly older, wealthy men has only flourished, as have the websites helping the two parties find one another. No, really. Brandon Wade, the founder of Seeking Arrangement, raked in $10 million in 2012 alone.

It seemed, at first, a lucky break that my book release coincided with the economic crash of the late aughts, because women were turning to means of survival they hadn’t previously considered. Suddenly I started to hear about websites that actually connected these women with potential benefactors. So Bought got a lot of publicity, if not a lot of sales—who wants to buy books when they’re losing their jobs?—and in the process of promoting it, I came into contact with a number of these women.

Now, while the book industry has continued to self-destruct, the business of mostly younger, attractive women being subsidized by mostly older, wealthy men has only flourished, as have the websites helping the two parties find one another. No, really. Brandon Wade, the MIT-educated founder of Seeking Arrangement and three other portals—What’s Your Price, Seeking Millionaire and MissTravel—reports that his sites raked in $10 million in 2012 alone.

That caught my attention. So I decided to dive back into this topic, with a modern, digital twist. Over the next three weeks, I’ll be exploring the online Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby phenomenon from three diverse points of view: the Sugar dating site proprietors, the Sugar Daddies and, last but not least, the Sugar Babies themselves. Without further ado, here we go…

He’s not only the president: Wade and wife Tanya, whom he met on the job.

According to Sugar Daddy For Me founder Gautam Sharma, it isn’t just the economy that has contributed to the success of sites of like his. “I think it’s the overall evolution of things,” he says. “Between the Internet, smartphones, social media and then the evolution of society—the way a lot of people are living together and not getting married and the way there’s acceptance of all types of relationships—it was bound to happen. And when you combine all of that with the financial times and the fact that women are sick of dating pretty, broke guys who end up cheating on them anyway, it just makes sense.”

While the economic shift has certainly helped these sites multiply, former Wall Street trader Steve Pasternack actually launched the first one, Sugar Daddie, way back in 2002. “The inspiration, honestly, was my real life,” he confesses. “As a trader, I worked with a lot of multimillionaires who were always taking the women in their lives to dinners and on trips. Then I moved to Florida and the women I met were telling me how hard it was to find a successful guy. So my original intention was to connect the women here with these guys I knew in New York.”

Pasternack’s site was a hit from the get-go—“everyone liked that they didn’t have to beat around the bush”—and now boasts three million members, all of who pay for their memberships ($24.99 a month for women, $29.99 for men). “Some of the other sites offer free memberships to women, but we don’t,” says Pasternack, explaining that this discourages fake profiles. “Sometimes the women will create aliases, just to test the men and make sure they’re not trying to meet other women once they’ve already started seeing each other.”

Business has been good for Sharma, seen here flying one of his “toys.”

Seeking Arrangement, arguably the best-known Sugar site, offers free memberships to both genders, though anyone can purchase a premium account—which highlights your profile—for $20 a month. The site also makes a point of offering free premium memberships to a group of women that is perhaps the most appealing: college students. According to Wade, this collegiate focus just helps the site grow. “We noticed two years ago that college students were our largest group of new sign-ups,” he says. “And so we thought: why not give them incentive?”

Encouraging college students to join helps hammer home the point that all these site proprietors take pains to make—namely, that arrangements of this sort are not the sleazy old-lechy-man-with-young-gold-digger unions people may imagine. Sugar Daddy For Me has “babies” in their fifties, and the average “daddy” on Sugar Daddie is between 35 and 55—though Pasternack adds that “we do have men in their sixties and seventies, if they’re presentable.”

While Sugar Daddie has somewhat strict membership rules—the women have to be “above average in looks” and the men have to be “above average in lifestyle”—other sites have far more fluid policies. “We’ve had members who have been very successful as sugar babies who wouldn’t necessarily be considered beautiful by societal standards,” says Wade. “In fact, I’ve gotten a hard time about that. Two months ago, one of our sugar babies was on CNN talking about her experiences, and I got messages from people asking, ‘Why are you sending women like that out into the media?’ And I had to ask: wouldn’t it make me look worse if I said that women had to subscribe to my standards of beauty? I mean, who are we to judge that women have to be skinny and tall in a certain way in order to be considered beautiful?”

“It’s not that different than ancient times,” says Sharma. The cavemen who had the driest caves or who were the strongest water carriers were the ones that women liked. So why shouldn’t a man be valued for his brains and what he’s accomplished?

And as if that notion isn’t noble enough, Sharma is convinced his site’s paid partnerships are healthier, happier and more honest than traditional relationships. “These arrangements are based on the principle that the more you make the other person happy, the more they’ll do for you,” Sharma says. “A lot of men don’t want all of the legal and financial consequences of divorce, and this is a solution. They would rather have things understood up front. And this brings out men who love to give, who can’t do enough for the women in their lives, and who haven’t before found women who’ve given back.”

Still not convinced? Sharma is quick to point out that the concept is hardly new: “It’s not that different than ancient times. The cavemen who had the driest caves or who were the strongest water carriers—whatever the standards of desirability were then—were the ones that women liked. So why shouldn’t a man be valued for his brains and what he’s accomplished? Maybe these were men who never got a second glance in high school.”

Sugar babies, meanwhile, seem to run the gamut from, as Sharma puts it, “spoiled arm candy types who just want to be taken down Rodeo Drive to single moms, students and even just women who are attracted to older men.” The average monthly allowance for girls appears to hover around $3,000, but I was also told about women who’ve landed $10,000 a month, plus credit cards, travel and gifts, as well as girls who’ve been given houses and cars.

Pasternack has plenty to smile about, thanks to his three-million-member site.

But not all the women are in it for the cash and big-ticket items, the Herve Leger dresses and Louboutin pumps. “Some of the men take on the role of mentors who can advise them on what step to take next in their careers,” Sharma explains. “Maybe they’ll pay the rent for a boutique or help with a girl’s tuition so she doesn’t have to work two jobs while going to school.” One Seeking Arrangement member got her benefactor—who happened to be one of the 10 richest men in the world—to fund her business.

That doesn’t mean, necessarily, that these are soulless financial dealings. “Guys go into this just wanting an arrangement—they think that they don’t want to spend an hour on the phone every night and have to text 25 times a day, especially when they’ve maybe been hurt before,” Sharma says. But then the relationships become something more. “We’ve had a lot of marriages, which honestly surprised me,” says Pasternack. “I didn’t think it would go in that direction.”

Apparently, the love that blossoms is the result of the honesty at play. “You see a different side of the girls,” says Alan “Action” Schneider, a promoter (and sugar daddy) in New York who arranges Sugar Daddy For Me parties just about every month (he’s hosted 27 over the past two-and-a-half years; the next one is April 25th at the Copacabana in Manhattan). “I’ll meet women who are on both traditional dating sites and Sugar Daddy For Me, and it’s like they have two different game faces. They’ll be a lot more vulnerable on Sugar Daddy For Me and will cry and open up about serious financial distress. On the regular dating sites, they put on more of an act.”

They don’t call him “Action” for nothing…

Think what you will about that remark, but Sharma believes love found on these sites lasts. “Typical relationships are what my friend and I call Springtime in the Rockies,” he says. “In the beginning it’s all cherubs dancing in your heart, but then it evolves into a typical marriage, where the two people take each other for granted. Sugar Daddy relationships end up on a better template.”

Do you agree? Share your thoughts in the Comments section below, then get more insight next Tuesday, when I’ll be uncovering the Sugar Daddies’ point of view…

Query Optimization in Distributed Networks of Autonomous Database Systems
Fragiskos Pentaris
Yannis Ioannidis
Date published:
Published In:
ACM TODS, Vol. 31, No. 2, June 2006, pp. 537-583 (Expanded version of the EDBT'04 paper; invited as one of the best papers of the conference.)
Journal Article

Large-scale distributed environments, where each node is completely autonomous and offers services to its peers through external communication, pose significant challenges to query processing and optimization. Autonomy is the main source of the problem, as it results in lack of knowledge about any particular node with respect to the information it can produce and its characteristics, for example, cost of production or quality of produced results. In this article, inspired by e-commerce technology, we recognize queries as commodities and model query optimization as a trading negotiation process. Subquery answers and subquery operator execution jobs are traded between nodes until deals are struck with some nodes for all of them. Such trading may also occur recursively, in the sense that some nodes may play the role of intermediaries between other nodes (subcontracting). We identify the key parameters of the overall framework and suggest several potential alternatives for each one. In comparison to trading negotiations for e-commerce, query optimization faces unique new challenges that stem primarily from the fact that queries have a complex structure and can be broken into smaller parts. We address these challenges through a particular instantiation of our framework focusing primarily on the optimization algorithms run on “buying” and “selling” nodes, the evaluation metrics of the queries, and the negotiation strategy. Finally, we present the results of several experiments that demonstrate the performance characteristics of our approach compared to those of traditional query optimization.

This is Cornwall, so we want to know what the weather is doing - right? I found that I wanted to be able to see what the pressure had been doing over the last 24 hours. This project uses an Arduino board and a digital pressure sensor to display the pressure over the previous 24 hours. I've also programmed an analogue face showing the current pressure.

Its working now on the breadboard. Just need to find a suitable case

Oh How the Tables Have Turned

If William were to write the post that I wrote last week for this week, I suspect it might sound something like this.

This week has been a tough week for me and my mama. The weather is finally above 20 degrees but my mama has yet to take me outside to play in the snow. Remember that bad cough and cold I had last week? Well I shared that with my mama.

She brought me to ECFE on Tuesday anyway because she figured it would make the day go by faster. When we got home we both took a long afternoon nap until daddy came home. Thankfully daddy came home a bit early that day. He made me dinner, gave me a bath and played with me a lot.

Yesterday I was a really good boy in the morning and then I took a REALLY long nap for my mama in the afternoon. But when I woke up I did not want to go to church for Ash Wednesday like my mama and daddy told me I had to. I just wanted to practice walking since I'm getting really good at it. So after communion my mama took me in the back of the church so that I could stretch my legs. I think she felt better back there too because she had to blow her nose every two minutes.

But this morning I am being a really good boy and I think my mom is feeling better so I bet we will get to play together a lot more today!

The launch event

On 22nd June 2017, the exhibition was officially launched at Manchester Central Library. The event was a huge success. We were delighted to see so many people of different ages and backgrounds coming together to celebrate local accents, dialects, people and places. We were also pleased to host Andy Burnham – Mayor of Greater Manchester and participant in the project – who said that Manchester Voices was very much a project ‘of its time’. As part of the event, three local poets, representing different eras and different perspectives of the life and language of Greater Manchester performed to a captivated audience. Jardel Rodrigues, Sid Calderbank and ARGH KiD were outstanding, and helped to make the evening truly memorable.

Coping with the Tokyo Culture Minus “The Shock”

japanese culture

Culture shock is the feeling of disorientation, uncertainty and anxiety that can be felt when trying to settle into a new location.

Though these problems that arise from encountering a completely different culture are troublesome and difficult to deal with, they can be decreased by taking active measures to blend in and adapt to the new culture instead of taking a stance against it.

Experiencing Culture Shock in Tokyo

New travelers to Tokyo are likely to encounter culture shock due to the many unique aspects of Japanese society different from the traveler’s own. For example, Japan’s larger city locations, like many large Asian cities are notorious for being extremely crowded and difficult to navigate. The difference in language also poses a considerable addition to disorientation and anxiety.

Japan is also home to many weird and wonderful practices, for example the prolific amounts of anime and manga goods as well as toys, cute objects and collectibles that are actually aimed at adult markets.
The cuisine may also pose a problem for hose inexperienced with traditional Asian food as travelers can also be easily bombarded by the ranges of different foods available that are completely different from the westernized rolls of sushi and heavily battered fried tempura.

The lack of ‘home’ or European brands or the consequent high prices of these should they be found is yet another issue that is difficult to tackle.

How to Reduce Culture Shock

Though there are difficulties associated with travelling to a different country that can only be handled by spending large amounts of time actively getting used to the new environment travelers can also take steps in order to reduce the effects of these difficulties.

For example, a measure organized travelers can reduce the effects culture shock may have on their plans and adventures in Japan by familiarizing themselves with the Japanese culture even before they leave their home countries.

It is important to keep an open mind and try to avoid comparing the new culture with anything travelers have experienced before or happen to prefer. Being open to new activities, sights and experiences also allows travelers to be open to new chances and opportunities.

Homesickness plays a large part in adding to the likelihood if travelers suffering from extensive culture shock. They may find themselves unable to cope with the new environment due to the constant comparisons they may make between the new place and their home countries. For this reason, it is important to address these issues in order for travelers to be able to work through their difficulties and consequently adjust.

Whenever travelers find something they dislike about their new environment, or something about their home countries that is ‘better,’ it is a good idea to also immediately list a positive aspect of the new environment. In this way, travelers are less likely to constantly question their decision to move or their ability to reside in the new environment.

In a country like Japan, which is full of interesting and different things to experience, travelers should really take the chance to participate in any activities that even remotely interest them so they do not miss any new opportunities.

Coping with the Japanese Culture

Due to the unique nature of the Japanese culture, travelers may find they often feel pressured to adjust or easily drowned by the amounts of new knowledge they feel they need to commit to memory. When these feelings are present the best thing to remember is that though there are certain practices that need to learned, new comers to Japan are not expected to immediately learn the ins and outs of the culture.

It is more important to enjoy the learning process which can be partly entertaining as well, rather than just treat it as a strict studying environment or ‘sink or swim’ situation. Keeping an open mind and an understanding outlook is often all it takes to slowly pick up on the nuances and interesting aspects of the Japanese Culture.

Travelers who wish to spend large amounts of time should also remain aware that it is impossible to immediately adjust to the extreme changes in social and physical atmospheres. It is a good idea to allow for relaxing and exploring without pressure of learning to really acclimate to the new environment.

Aerator Pumps

V4 3-position Select Valve

Enlarge photo

The V4 valve allows a standard aerator pump to be mounted directly to the valve body for both filling and recirculation duties, thus eliminating the need for 2 separate pumps and additional plumbing. When in the "FILL" position, the valve will close the livewell drain side of the valve so the pump has free access to fresh outside water. Once the livewell is full, the valve is placed in the "RECIRC" position to close the drain and allow full recirculation of the livewell water. Occasionally returning to the "FILL" position will keep the livewell topped off and freshened. The "EMPTY" position allows gravity draining with the pump off. The V4 valve has two cable approach options. The cable can approach the valve from either the front/livewell or the rear/transom side of the boat.

Goathland is a village deep in the North York Moors, off the A169 between Pickering and Whitby. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and has its own station on the North Yorkshire Moors steam railway line.

This picturesque village is the setting for the popular television series Heartbeat, and filming may occasionally be seen throughout the year.

The village itself ages back to Viking times with plenty of its curious history still evident and tame black faced sheep still graze the village commons and nearby moorland.

Olde worlde shops and quaint tea-rooms will transport you back in time, while the surrounding countryside will simply take your breath away. Goathland is an ideal base for walkers, cyclists and enthusiasts of nature or steam.
