Today, we 're going to be reviewing the leading five sites for hookups.
So why invest more cash if you put on 't have to click the link in the description to conserve cash? So let 's start with primary on our list, which is ashley madison: let 's proceed and dive into its demographics.
The most amount of users on ashley madison come from the united states at 60.
41 percent.
The next most popular nation for this website is brazil, with 11.
43 of users originating from there, then canada at 10.
59, then the uk with 2.
28 and after that australia with 2.
As far as the social media networks, facebook users blaze a trail with 32.
43, then youtube with 25.
17, then read it with 14.
When it pertains to the age, distribution and age variety on this website, a bulk of the users, both female and male, fall in between the ages of 25 to 44.
There is a substantial amount of people on the side, particularly guys who are 55 and up so, who is this website for well at first, ashley madison was utilized as a as an unfaithful site to be frank, but it has developed from that.
Many people like ashley madison, for its secrecy and its discretion, so you can block or blur.
Rather, your profile pictures on the app personal privacy is of top issue, and a great deal of individuals utilize the app for casual encounters for different types of relationships that they might not be open to showing others.
Maybe they are searching for a sugar child, sugar, daddy kind of relationship or possibly there are couples looking to meet other couples, but they put on 't want their details to be seen on public dating sites.
That 's why they select ashley madison.
One of the opportunities on there is um just hookups i indicate this is a website devoted to casual relationships, so finding a hookup on the site might be a fantastic place to go.
The design of this website is truly well done also.
It looks classier than perhaps a subject matter so as far as ease of usage.
Among the reasons that ashley madison is among the leading 10 connection apps is due to the fact that of its user instinctive and friendly user interface.
Individuals wear 't like being puzzled with a complex or extremely wordy design when it concerns dating sites or apps.
Ashley madison definitely make sure to avoid this.
It 's very easy and fast to make a profile due to the fact that you do not have to compose lots of info and your identity is or can be very much concealed by blurring your images.
But it is still advised to go on and write a strong quantity of information on your profiles, due to the fact that sometimes it is so discreet on the website that it can be difficult to know who you 're matching with, due to the fact that you have no concept who they are.
We certainly would recommend composing a complete profile.
Total ashley madison offers a well-rounded toolbox of features, and it 's very successful for discovering hookups to be plain about it.
So it 's number one on the list, if you 're enjoying this video up until now, please make certain to offer it a huge thumbs up and subscribe.
So it truly helps our channel when you really provide a thumbs up on the video, due to the fact that it shows youtube that individuals are enjoying our material, so youtube pushes our material out for more people to see.
We 'd truly appreciate your thumbs up and your subscriptions.
Now, let 's dive into the second website on this list, which is victoria, milan connection website, let 's dive into this website 's demographics initially, so denmark is the country with the greatest number of visitors and it takes very first place with 24.
12 percent of users.
The second one is brazil, with 9.
81 of the users followed by the us with 9.
29, then spain, with 5.
91 percent and lastly, the netherlands, with 5.
82 percent after the age range.
It tends to skew on the younger side for this website.
Although there are a lot of couples wanting to enliven their marital relationship, who are 35 and up so victoria milan, there 's no other way to put it.
It is specifically an unfaithful website and you can truly discriminate in between a site like ashley, victoria and milan.
Madison, whereas ashley madison has sort of moved away from its notorious past and it 's ending up being more open up to different types of relationships like polyamory, open marital relationship and other things that wear 't harmed individuals, whereas victoria milan is very much a cheating infidelity site and it 's got some reprehensible Content on there to be sure, so, even though you could discover a hookup on there, if you 're currently dating somebody else, there are many other sites to utilize for hookups, although this is a major one, although ethically again, i can not advise it, however we can speak about It because it is popular, this site continuously, tries to validate cheating and injuring people 's significant others, destroying households, and there are other methods to go about casual relationships, and i would recommend that if you are in a marital relationship – and you want to have flings with other individuals, Talk to your individual about that, possibly they 'll wish to open up their relationship or possibly you can conserve a lot of injured by doing it with without doing it behind their back.
So this site does have an easy, uncomplicated registration process.
It is pretty smooth in its um design, layout and its interface.
Nevertheless, who cares? This is not an excellent site to utilize, however once again, if you were gon na look at one of these sites to use for casual dating or connections or something um, you can just see once again just such a huge difference between ashley madison and this side.
So i can 't truly recommend it, however number three on their list is be naughty.
Let 's get into the demographics of this set.
Most of the users on this side are aged 25 to 34, however there are likewise lots of visitors who are aged 35 to 44, as well as for the breakdown of divisions by nations.
The us blazes a trail with 30.
59 percent of users originating from there followed by canada, with 12.
07 percent of the users.
3rd place belongs to japan with 7.
53 percent of the users, then russia with 4.
6, then poland, with 3.
91, observing from the point of view of socials media.
Youtube 's contribution is 40.
9 percent.
Facebook is 2nd with 24.
39, followed by twitter with 13.
As far as who, this site is for it 's really straightforward.
Just take a look at the name.
It 's for individuals who are trying to find extremely casual um relationships, um hookups um, either in person or through the web.
If you 're looking for something like that, this is a fantastic place to inspect out a lot of individuals like to go to a website like this.
That they can really be themselves and reveal themselves sexually, maybe in a method that they are not able to in real life or maybe with individuals they just haven 't, met yet and would like to satisfy somebody who clicks with them on that level.
As far as the ease of usage be naughty is very simple to comprehend, it 's got a really user-friendly interface.
Registration can be completed in simply a number of minutes, although the drawback is that, since of that, lots of people skip this step.
That suggests that when you 're browsing people 's profiles, they might not be really helpful and it could be hard to find a strong match.
Because of that.
The fantastic thing is that the site makes use of profile, verification to actually assist crack down on the variety of fake users or bots.
You can go on and set your criteria and choices on the site to discover exactly what you 're trying to find prior to we proceed to number 4, i do have to point out again that we do have an awesome deals page which can save you lots of money for All different apps and dating sites, really many of the sites, i 'm discussing in this video we really have discounts for you for on our offers page so certainly make certain to click the link in the description to check out our online for likes deals page where you Can save great deals of cash so number 4 on this list is flinkster, so let 's dive into its demographics, just like the majority of connection platforms.
This one also collects people from the age ranges of 25 to 34, however even those above that age can be discovered.

Mosey to parking lot: Gave a short speech about effort and how we don't always give it our best effort during the workout. Rehashed what Ginger said about when you think your done you really still have 40 or 60 % reserves left. Of course Ginger didn't show up to give us an example of effort today. Then announced that we were doing merkin suicides, but with a twist. Of the 19 Pax present only 3 were older than my tender age of 57 and I said Belding didn't count because he is a beast anyway and I left Moped off of the count so that left 18. I then said we were going to test the effort of the PAX. We would do the suicides but if I beat better than half the pax to finish there would be a penalty.
So suicides: 4 Cones about 10 to 15 yrds apart. Start with 1Burpee, then 5 merkins 1st cone backpedal to start 1 Burpee, then 10, 15, 20 merkins, then 3 Burpees at the end to finish with 57.

Improved Resistance Switching Stability in Fe-Doped ZnO Thin Films Through Pulsed Magnetic Field Annealing
Nanoscale Research Letters volume 12, Article number: 176 (2017)
2335 Accesses
14 Citations
Five percent of Fe-doped ZnO (ZnO:Fe) thin films were deposited on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by a spin-coating method. The films were annealed without (ZnO:Fe-0T) and with a pulsed magnetic field of 4 T (ZnO:Fe-4TP) to investigate the magnetic annealing effect on the resistance switching (RS) behavior of the Pt/ZnO:Fe/Pt structures. Compared with the ZnO:Fe-0T film, the ZnO:Fe-4TP film showed improved RS performance regarding the stability of the set voltage and the resistance of the high resistance state. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed that the ZnO:Fe-4TP film contains more uniform grains and a higher density of oxygen vacancies, which promote the easier formation of conducting filaments along similar paths and the stability of switching parameters. These results suggest that external magnetic fields can be used to prepare magnetic oxide thin films with improved resistance switching performance for memory device applications.
As a potential next-generation nonvolatile memory, transition metal oxide (TMO)-based resistance random access memory (RRAM) has been studied intensively during the last decade and has attracted increasing interest because of its low power consumption, high operation speed, high endurance, and simple structure [1,2,3]. Zinc oxide (ZnO), which is a well-known oxide semiconductor, has also been widely studied because of its resistance switching (RS) behaviors [4,5,6,7,8]. ZnO-based RRAM devices have been reported to show an ultrafast programming speed of 5 ns, an ultrahigh ON/OFF ratio of 10 [7], a long retention time of more than 107 s, and high reliability at elevated temperatures [2, 5]. However, several problems need to be elucidated before achieving practical device applications. One of the issues is minimizing the dispersion of memory switching parameters, such as the resistance values of the low- and high-resistance states (LRS and HRS, or ON and OFF) and the switching voltages from the HRS to LRS (set voltages, Vset) and vice versa (reset voltages, Vreset) [6, 9]. The dominant cause of the oscillation of the switching parameters is the intrinsic random nature of the formation of defect-dominated conducting filaments (CFs) during the switching process [10]. Many attempts, such as doping impurity elements [11,12,13] and interfacial engineering [14, 15], have been reported to be effective for controlling the location of the CFs and therefore stabilizing the switching parameters.
In this work, we report the effect of annealing in a magnetic field on the RS properties of Fe-doped ZnO thin films. A magnetic field can be used not only to study the physical properties but also to synthesize magnetic materials or modify their properties [16]. The application of an external magnetic field during material synthesis can affect the structural and magnetic properties of the prepared materials [17,18,19,20,21,22]. Annealing transition metal (TM)-doped ZnO nanoparticles with a high-pulsed magnetic field has been reported to improve the magnetic properties and increase oxygen defects [18, 19, 23, 24], which motivated us to study the magnetic annealing effect on the RS behaviors. In this work, we annealed Fe-doped ZnO (ZnO:Fe) thin films under a pulsed magnetic field of 4 T and determined that the magnetic field annealing process has a dramatic stabilizing effect on the switching parameters of Pt/ZnO:Fe/Pt structures.
Five percent of Fe-doped ZnO thin films were prepared on Pt(111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates using a spin-coating method. Zinc acetate [Zn(CH3COO)2 · 2H2O] and iron nitrate [Fe(NO3)3 · 9H2O] were used as the precursors, and 2-methoxyethanol (HOCH2CH2OCH3) and monoethanolamine (H2NC2H4OH, MEA) were used as the solvent and stabilizer, respectively. The precursor chemicals were first dissolved completely in 2-methoxyethanol, then mixed together with the addition of MEA. The obtained mixture solution with a total metal ion concentration of 0.5 M was stirred at 60 °C for 0.5 h, then aged for 24 h before deposition on the substrate. The spin-coating process was performed at 3000 rpm for 30 s, followed by heating at 100 °C for 10 min to evaporate the solvent and pre-annealing at 400 °C for 10 min to exclude organic residuals. The spin-coating process was repeated several times to obtain a thickness of ~100 nm. The deposited films were annealed at 650 °C for 1 h in air, either with or without a 4-T pulsed magnetic field, labeled as ZnO:Fe-0T and ZnO:Fe-4TP, respectively.
The crystalline orientation and microstructure of the thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) with Cu Kα radiation and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The chemical states were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), performed with a monochromatic Al Kα X-ray source (hv = 1486.6 eV) at an energy of 15 kV/150 W. The spot size was 400 μm (Theta Probe AR-XPS System, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Top Pt electrodes with dimensions of 90 × 90 μm [2] were deposited using e-beam evaporation to fabricate the RRAM devices, and the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the RRAM devices were measured using a semiconductor device parameter analyzer (Agilent B1500A).
Results and Discussion
Zn0.95Fe0.05O films annealed with and without a magnetic field were revealed to have a hexagonal wurtzite structure preferentially oriented in the [002] direction, as shown in Fig. 1a. Despite the similarity in the XRD spectra, the TEM images of the ZnO:Fe-0T and ZnO:Fe-4TP showed quite different characteristics. In the cross-section images of the ZnO:Fe-0T thin film (Fig. 1b), non-uniform grains with different sizes and irregular positions were observed, which is quite different from the uniformly distributed grains in the ZnO:Fe-4TP thin film, shown in Fig. 1c. The crystallinity of the ZnO:Fe-4TP film seems to be improved by the magnetic field annealing process, which is similar to the results reported for hydrothermally prepared TM-doped ZnO nanoparticles [25,26,27]. The better crystallinity observed after magnetic annealing can be attributed to the reduced temperature gradient and more homogeneous nucleation rate induced by the magnetic field [25].
Both RRAM devices fabricated with the ZnO:Fe-0T film and the ZnO:Fe-4TP film showed repeated unipolar resistance switching behaviors. Because of the high initial resistance (>108 Ω), a forming process was necessary to induce the switching process by generating the CFs in the oxide layer. The distribution of switching parameters, however, showed quite obvious differences between the two types of devices. In Fig. 2a, the cumulative distributions of Vset in the two types of devices are compared. To ensure statistical correctness, a total of 100 data points measured from 5 devices with 20 switching cycles each are plotted for each type of device. To clearly compare the data, Vset was first normalized with respect to the minimum Vset among the same type of device then plotted on the X axis. The relative frequency probabilities of Vset of both films are shown in the inset figures of Fig. 2a. Obviously, Vset of Pt/ZnO:Fe-4TP/Pt varied within a much narrower range (1.42 ~ 2.18 V) compared with that of Pt/ZnO:Fe-0T/Pt (1.06 ~ 3.18 V), indicating that the stability of Vset was improved significantly by applying the magnetic field during annealing of the ZnO:Fe thin film.
The cumulative distributions of the HRS and LRS of the Pt/ZnO:Fe/Pt devices read at 0.1 V are shown in Fig. 2b. A significant enhancement of stability for the HRS was observed in the ZnO:Fe-4TP film. For the ZnO:Fe-0T film, the resistance varied from 2 to 200 kΩ for the HRS, and the LRS was approximately 40 Ω. In contrast, for the ZnO:Fe-4TP film, the resistance of the HRS remained near 50 kΩ, and the LRS was approximately 25 Ω. The inset shows the endurance properties of both films from 50 switching cycles; it is clear that the resistance of the HRS in the ZnO:Fe-4TP film is more stable than that of the ZnO:Fe-0T film. Because the HRS resistance directly affects the value of Vset during the following set process, the stabilized HRS resistance values were consistent with the stabilization in Vset shown in Fig. 2a [28]. Additionally, the lower LRS resistance in Pt/ZnO:Fe-4TP/Pt implied that stronger CFs existed in this device.
The stability of switching parameters was first analyzed through the conductive mechanism by fitting the typical I-V curve of Pt/ZnO:Fe/Pt devices, as shown in Fig. 3. The double-log scale I-V curves from Pt/ZnO:Fe-0T/Pt (Fig. 3a) and Pt/ZnO:Fe-4TP/Pt (Fig. 3b) indicate obvious Ohmic characteristics for the LRS and HRS in the low-electric field region for both devices. The high-electric field regions of the HRS, on the other hand, can be fitted with Poole-Frenkel (PF) emission using the relationship \( \ln \left( J/ E\right)\propto \left(\sqrt{q^3/\pi {\varepsilon}_0{\varepsilon}_r}/ rkT\right)\bullet \sqrt{E} \) [27], where q is the electric charge, ε r is the dynamic dielectric constant, ε 0 is the permittivity of free space, k is Boltzmann's constant, T is the temperature, and r is a constant with a value between 1 and 2. The insets of Fig. 3a, b show that with the refractive index n = (ε r 1/2) for pure ZnO (~2.00) and the slope of the ln(J/E) vs. E 1/2 curve, the estimated values of r are approximately 1.34 and 1.45 for Pt/ZnO:Fe-0T/Pt and Pt/ZnO:Fe-4TP/Pt, respectively. Because the PF emission describes the hopping of carriers via trapped states excited by an electric field, a value of r larger than 1 implies the existence of traps in the thin film [29,30,31]. Accordingly, the higher r value in Pt/ZnO:Fe-4T/Pt indicates that the total number of traps increased in the ZnO:Fe-4TP film as compared with the ZnO:Fe-0T film [32].
Because various kinds of defects, including oxygen vacancies, can all act as trapping centers in oxide thin films, analysis of the composition and valence states of elements in ZnO:Fe thin films could help to understand the improved RS properties caused by magnetic annealing. In this vein, XPS characterization of ZnO:Fe-0T and ZnO:Fe-4TP thin films was carried out, and the spectra of Fe and O ions are shown in Fig. 4.
The O 1s spectra from the two films showed quite different profiles, as shown in Fig. 4. The deconvolution results contain three peaks located around 533, 532, and 530 eV, which can be attributed to surface adsorbed O, oxygen deficiency, and lattice oxygen [33], respectively. Obviously, there is more oxygen deficiency in ZnO:Fe-4TP films. More interestingly, the Fe 2p spectra revealed that Fe3+ ions are dominant in both films (peak located at 711 eV). Additionally, metallic Fe (peak located at 707 eV) is also observed in the ZnO:Fe-4TP film. Although the valence state of Fe should be divalent Fe2+ if it is substituted into a defect-free ZnO crystal lattice, the appearance of Fe3+ implies the existence of Zn vacancies in our spin-coated ZnO thin films. It has been reported that in Fe-doped ZnO nanocrystals, Fe3+ appeared when Zn vacancies were present near the substitutional sites to neutralize the charge imbalance [34]. A similar phenomenon has also been reported for the observation of Cr3+ ions in Cr-Mn-doped ZnO under magnetic annealing [35].
The existence of metallic Fe and its effect on the switching properties were further revealed from Fig. 5. When Pt/ZnO:Fe-0T/Pt and Pt/ZnO:Fe-4T/Pt devices were set and reset both under a positive bias, i.e., positive set and positive reset, the reset voltage values and the reset currents are similar (data not shown). However, when a negative bias was applied for the reset process, i.e., positive set and negative reset, the reset voltage and reset current are much smaller for Pt/ZnO:Fe-4T/Pt than for Pt/ZnO:Fe-0T/Pt (Fig. 5). This observation can be understood considering the existing of metallic Fe, which could be converted to Fe ions under an external bias and participate in the formation of conducting filaments. When opposite bias voltages were used for the set and reset process, the Fe ions in the conducting filaments may have been pushed back to their original location. This can assist in the dissolution of the conducting filaments, resulting in lower reset parameters and gradually changed resistance [36].
The above electrical and physical property characterizations indicate that magnetic annealing affects not only the crystalline structure but also the defects contained in the oxide thin film. Although the reason for the formation of metallic Fe and more oxygen deficiencies in magnetic annealed ZnO:Fe thin films needs further investigation, it is quite clear from our results that more defects, including zinc vacancies, oxygen vacancies, and metallic Fe, are available in ZnO:Fe-4TP thin films as trapping centers. Because the filaments are composed of defects such as oxygen vacancies or metal ions, an increased amount of these defects in ZnO:Fe-4TP makes the formation of conducting filaments more likely. The increase in oxygen vacancies agrees well with the larger value of r in Fig. 3. Furthermore, the TEM image revealed that the grain boundaries in the ZnO:Fe-4TP thin film are more regular. Because it has been generally considered that extended defects such as grain boundaries provide diffusion paths for defects in oxide thin films to migrate and connect together to form conducting filaments, the location and shape of the conducting filaments in ZnO:Fe-4TP should be more regular and uniform in each switching circle, compared with the irregular and branch-shaped grain boundaries in ZnO:Fe-0T films (Fig. 6), which is consistent with the lower LRS resistance observed in Fig. 2. The magnetic annealing process enhanced both factors in conducting filament formation, i.e., the fast diffusion path and amount of defects; therefore, better switching stability can be achieved.
In summary, Fe-doped ZnO thin films were synthesized by the spin-coating method, and the films were annealed with and without a 4-T pulsed magnetic field. The Pt/ZnO:Fe/Pt structures were prepared to investigate the effect of magnetic annealing on the RS behaviors of ZnO:Fe thin films. Unipolar resistance switching was observed in all samples. Detailed analysis of the switching behaviors revealed that the ZnO:Fe-4TP thin film showed better performance regarding a quite stable set voltage and resistance in the HRS. SEM and TEM indicated the grain size became smaller and more uniform in theZnO:Fe-4TP film and the grain boundary is more clear and regulated. Based on the XPS characterization, the improved switching characteristics of the ZnO:Fe-4TP film were attributed to the increased amount of oxygen vacancies, which provided easier and more stable formation of conducting filaments. Our results suggest that by applying a 4-T pulsed magnetic field during the preparation of Fe-doped ZnO films, the resistance switching performance of the set voltage can be improved greatly.

Several countries have encouraged Ghanaian health worker migration in recent years. In the United Kingdom and some Caribbean states, for example, a fast tracked visa for medical professionals has been introduced. The Visa in these countries would aim to address shortages in these countries National Health Service.
Even as Ghanaian health professionals are drawn internationally by affirmative policies and perceived better opportunities, less than optimal conditions at home also drive their decision to leave.
In 2013, sub-Saharan Africa had a deficit of an estimated 1.8 million health workers, according to WHO report. The deficit was projected to rise to 4.3 million by 2035. Lack of funding for education and training, international migration and career changes among health workers, illness, premature retirement, poor working environment, lack of adequate health facilities were mentioned as the main reasons for the shortfall.
According to a World Bank survey, from 2015 and 2017, Ghana's doctor to patient ratio improved. In 2013, the number of doctors in Ministry of Health payroll increased from 2,252 in 2012 to 2,615 and the doctor to patient or population ratio improved from 1 doctor per 11,515 in 2012 to 1 doctor per 10,170 in 2013. Most of these doctors worked in the Greater Accra and Ashanti regions. There has been steady improvement in the doctor to population ratio due to the establishment of the UDS and the University of Cape Coast medical schools.
The Vice President Dr Bawumia recently called on stakeholders to help the government to address the discrepancies in the doctor to patient ratio. The current ratio of one doctor to 8000 falls short of the World Health Organization's recommended ratio of one doctor to 1,320.
For nurses and midwives, Ghana placed 9th (Sub-Saharan Africa) in terms of 1,000 patients to one nurse ratio in the World Bank 2015 and 2017 survey. The rapid improvement was attributed to increasing intake into existing nursing training schools and improvement in infrastructure of the training schools. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, statistics showed that over 40% of WHO members States have lass than 10 doctors per 10,000 patients, 26% have less than 3 and healthcare workers are distributed unevenly across the globe. Africa suffers more than 22% of the global burden of diseases but has access to only 3% of health workers, and less than 1% of the world's financial resources. This demonstrate the need for a plan of how Ghana and other African States should prepare for future pandemics or epidemics. We need more intensive care units, ventilators and there is also the need to revise and implement appropriate and effective healthcare measures and interventions to promote healthy living, and control diseases.
The doctor to patient ratio still remains pathetically high especially in the three northern regions. This is attributed to unequal distribution and refusal of some health workers to accept posting to some parts of the country. This trend calls for a comprehensive healthcare policies which must include special incentives to healthcare workers who accept postings to these areas and improvement of health facilities, residential facilities, good schools and massive infrastructure development in these areas. The Mills/Mahama government dispatched some students to Cuba to be trained as doctors, but bonded them to be stationed in their regions and districts of origin on their return. I think it is time our government designs a comprehensive policy for achieving the WHO's standard for doctor to patient ratio.
Covid-19 has exposed the high deficit and the real status of the health sector. Populism has no place when it comes to healthcare issues that is one great lesson the pandemic has shown us. We are lucky the rate of infection and transmission isn't so high as seen in other countries. But that does not mean we should rely on our outmoded and populist tricks. The establishment of the UCC and UDS medical schools has improved the doctor to patient ratio.
The competitiveness of medical education and the potential rewards from international opportunities are driving would-be-healthcare professionals unable to enter Ghanaian programs of study to opt for degrees in China, Russia and some Eastern European countries. These students go through frustration to practice here. The Mills/ Mahama governments advanced a number of policies to regulate factors that limit the emigration of health workers. It is time to focus on these policies and to better facilitate emigration. We need a centralised policy framework designed to balance the country's healthcare worker needs. Nurses emigration has similarly been subject to bureaucratic restrictions
Beyond the shortage of available health workers there is also a problem of access, with significant disparities between urban and rural areas. The Mahama administration's massive health infrastructure projects including the polyclinics and the Chps compound has reduced the disparities but we still have a lot to do. Many of our local folks rely on local chemists, quack doctors and traditional healers because of lack of comprehensive primary care infrastructure. The poor state of primary health care puts a heavy burden on the specialist facilities.
Clearly, government must as matter of urgency, complete the abandoned health facilities started by the Mahama administration, revamp the obsolete ones so they might sufficiently cover the growing demand of universal primary care. The WHO estimates a projected shortfall of 18 million health workers by 2030, mostly in low and lower middle income countries. The country must plan the establishment of more new medical colleges. Every region should have its own medical college to make the retention policy workable. But must be done with properly to avoid reducing the medical colleges to primary schools. More attention should still be paid to quality of medical education to facilitate establishment of hubs of excellence in medical services, education and research.
Policies need to be developed in Ghana that will protect the rights of our health professionals during recruitment in the workplace, and allow them to fully utilise their skills. Barriers of credential recognition, workplace discrimination, professional disliking, and austerity informed restructuring are among the challenges our health workers face.
I fully support government's policy of supporting post graduate education of our doctors. It did not begin under this administration. But we must detach political populism from its implementation to give it the national attention and support it deserves. Transparency and accountability must be ensured to enable the doctors benefit fully from this initiative. However, implementation of the policy should not deny the deprived communities of the basic healthcare they seriously need and should not obstruct the establishment of more medical colleges and building of more health infrastructure.
The government should avoid implementation of populist decisions for political advantage. It is time to invite all stakeholders on board and consult health experts to advise government on the relevant policies to take with our limited resources.

The Tampa Bay Rays designated right-handed pitcher Rob Delaney this afternoon, according to Marc Topkin of the St. Pete Times. The move was made in order to make room on the 40-man roster for top prospect Matt Moore, a 22-year-old southpaw.
Delaney, 27, spent most of the season in Class Triple-A Durham as a reliever. He posted a 1.86 ERA, 7.6 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 in 67 2/3 innings of work in the International League. The reliever threw only five innings at the major-league level this season, but allowed six runs to score and walked seven batters.
Matt Moore will take Delaney's spot on the 40-man roster after being promoted to the majors. The 22-year-old Moore has spent the year dominating hitters between Class Double-A Montgomery and Triple-A Durham. The majors may be no different for the prodigy in the long-term. In 155 1/3 innings this season, Moore is posting a fantastic 1.92 ERA, and an unbelievable 210:46 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Debate persists over cost of concealed gun carrying on campus
ATLANTA |A proposal sent Friday to Georgia's governor would allow licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons on public college campuses and create new questions about how higher education officials will respond and what increased security could cost the state.
That debate already is playing out in other states, including Texas, where a prominent dean at the University of Texas left that state in part because of a new law effective Aug. 1 allowing concealed handguns in school buildings and in classrooms.
Supporters of the Georgia measure argue that people who are properly licensed to carry a weapon would increase campus safety so higher education officials shouldn't worry about spending more at public college and university campuses around the state.
"This is a red herring that keeps getting tossed about by opponents of the bill," said state Rep. Mandi Ballinger, a Republican cosponsor of the proposal. "It's simply not true."
But opponents, including the governing board of the 29-school university system, argue that the proposal would make ensuring campus security more difficult for police. Groups opposing the change in Georgia point to other states' experiences with increased security costs. The Association of Florida Colleges estimated increases in campus law enforcement staffing, training, salaries and benefits, insurance and capital expenses would cost $74 million.
"This costs taxpayer money, and this notion that the sponsors say it won't is an absolute misrepresentation of the facts," said Kathryn Grant, director of The Campaign To Keep Guns Off Campus group's Southeast region.
However, Jerry Henry of GeorgiaCarry.Org said in an emailed statement that adding security in response to the bill would be a waste of taxpayer dollars.
"Presently, there is no security being utilized to keep criminals off the campus, why would you think allowing law-abiding citizens to exercise a God given and Constitutionally enumerated right cost anything?" he said.
The bill would allow students age 21 and up to carry concealed firearms on campus if they have the proper permit. Athletic facilities and student housing, including fraternity and sorority houses, would be exempt.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, seven other states now allow people to carry concealed weapons on college campuses: Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin. The NCSL says 23 states leave the decision to ban or allow weapons up to the individual colleges and universities, and 19 states - including Georgia - currently ban concealed weapons on campuses.
Georgia's university and technical college systems have not weighed in on expected costs to add security at their campuses, and it's difficult to predict how they would respond if the bill becomes law.
Georgia law now allows people to carry weapons into a government building unless it is screened by security, a change made in 2014 as part of a sweeping law on gun rights. The state Capitol in downtown Atlanta and other nearby state agency buildings, for example, have metal detectors and state troopers or security personnel at each public entrance.
University system Chancellor Hank Huckaby told a Senate committee this month that campuses already use trained law enforcement to keep students safe.
"Our campus police officers will tell you that allowing students to have firearms on campus makes their job extremely challenging, particularly if an extreme emergency were to occur," he said.

You can teach dogs to fetch, parrots to say things, and gorillas how to use sign language. But, what about bees?
It turns out, bees can learn complex behaviors that mimic scoring a goal in soccer using a tiny ball, according to a recent study.
A different study previously showed that bees can use tools if it aids them in getting food. In that study, bees had to pull on a string to be able to access sugar water. This study is different because it shows that bees can learn behaviors that do not mimic anything they might regularly do to survive.
The World Cup For Bees
Scientists first trained the bees in the study to know that if a yellow ball was in a target location, they'd get sugar water, and then showed the bees three balls at different distances from the target.
The bees either watched a previously trained bee move the farthest ball to the target and get a reward, watched a hidden magnet move the ball, or just saw the ball in the target location with the sugar water. Not only did the bees figure out the task, they also used a different technique: pulling the ball instead of pushing it like the demonstrator bee did.
They also moved the closest ball to the target instead of the farthest ball, and when scientists switched out the yellow ball closest to the target for a black one, they knew to move it to the center, too.
The bees weren't just copying, but showed an understanding of the task. One result is this study shows bees have a lot more cognitive flexibility than many assumed.

A trust in Kalamazoo, Michigan is a legal arrangement for the management of property by one individual, for the benefit of another. In the simplest possible terms, if property is held in trust, it is possessed and controlled by one person, but it is technically owned by another individual, who benefits from the property.
You might want to set up a trust for a wide number of reasons. It can be set up to guarantee that a child will have money for college, for instance, and that the child will only be able to use the money for that purpose.
A trust can be set up to authorize the beneficiary to access the money in it under any conditions the person making the trust wishes. For instance, the trust could be set up so the beneficiary can only use the money in it for education.
Because you, as the trustee, can decide the rules under which the trust operates, you could give the beneficiary the right to access the fund at any time, for any reason, basically letting them do whatever they want with the money, if that's what you want to do.
What to Include in Any Kalamazoo, MI Trust
To formulate a legitimate trust in Kalamazoo, Michigan, 4 elements must be present. The first element is purpose - the property being held in trust must be there for a reason. Your trust can serve just about any lawful purpose you can think of.
Second, the trust must further name a trustee. The trustee is the person who is really going to administer the trust, and has possession and control of the property while it is the subject of the trust.
Third, the trust needs to have a named beneficiary. The beneficiary is the individual who benefits from the trust.
Lastly, the trust needs to have a corpus, or body. The "body" of the trust is the property that benefits the beneficiary, and that the trustee oversees. Obviously, there can be no trust without something being held in trust.
Can A Kalamazoo, Michigan Trust Drafting Attorney Help?
While its' easy to list the basic elements that need to be present for a trust to be valid, the actual process of setting up a trust can be a little difficult. For that reason, seeking the counsel of a seasoned Kalamazoo, Michigan attorney to help you set up a trust is probably a good idea.

This is an "unreleased rarities" record from an artist that i am not at all familiar with. Solar Fields is the project of Magnus Birgersson from Göteborg, Sweden, who is an ambient electronic music composer. He has apparently released eleven records since 2001. That is a pretty productive schedule...
And the music on this record is very in line with what i expect from Swedish ambient electronica. The music is sparse and crisp, with wide reverbing beats and often silly old-fashioned computer noises. It is music that moves along, inexorably, moving forward, pushing, as if shoving itself through snow. (As a Southerner, i expect snow blankets Sweden pretty much year-round, right? Their summer is like a week in July, i would guess... So -- music about snow is a good summation of Swedish music to me.) Solar Fields mines the same territory as Carbon-Based Lifeforms and Biosphere.
Birgersson is a little more rhythm heavy that Biosphere has been of late. I guess that this compilation is rhythmically comparable to Jenssen's Patashnik-era. It is good head bopping music for sitting and listening while you read, or edit HTML files, or cook, or work, etc. I like this type of music to play in the background, because it moves along nicely and yet does not have vocals that attract my attention while i am trying to focus on other words.
A lot of the tracks here have a cinematic feel to them, like this is the music that played in a SyFy channel show, or an impressionistic film like Baraka. Now i suppose that it is also kind of similar to the music you hear in New Age bookstores, as you browse crystals and sip herbal tea. It might be a little too innocuous for some listeners, but i think that Birgersson does some pretty cool stuff.
There are ten songs on this compilation, the shortest of which is six and a half minutes. Birgersson seems to average around eight minutes a song, so expect slowly growing drones and a slow if consistent pace.
My favorite track here is Surface. The beat here is almost hip-hop -- a nice thumping bass and a fuzzed hi-hat hit. It gets really head-bopping, just that beat grooving along under some dense keyboard drones.
On Unknown Presence, the beat is a skittering, slowed, drum and bass beat, which Birgersson pairs with slow drones to lovely effect. I also like the track Mystic Science, which features clattering rhythm samples, making it the most Baraka-like tune here.
Also of note is Falling Shadows. This starts with his normal drones and beats, but it speeds up as it progresses, until it sounds like Birgersson is channeling Explosions in the Sky. There is a nice whirring sound, like a guitar played fast. Does he use a guitar sample here? The drumming is intense, which really makes the song work. An interesting variation on what he normally does.
I know this type of music is not for everybody, but i have found much to enjoy here. I have added Solar Fields to the list of electronic acts i am on the lookout for.
Oh, and Ultimae Records, his label, is selling downloads of this for a measly 5 Euros on bandcamp. Given how much music this represents, that is practically free.

The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion and recommended granting marketing authorization for Scemblix or asciminib for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (Ph+ CML-CP), previously treated with two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors, Novartis (NVS) said in a statement on Friday.
The positive opinion was based on data from pivotal Phase III ASCEMBL trial, showing a near doubling in major molecular response rate for patients treated with Scemblix (asciminib) vs. Bosulif (bosutinib) (25.5% vs. 13.2%) and more than three times lower discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions (5.8% vs 21.1%) at 24 weeks.
The CHMP recommended approval of Scemblix in CML will be referred to the European Commission. The EC will review the CHMP recommendations and deliver a final decision in the coming months.
The CHMP recommendation comes after the approval of Scemblix by the U.S. FDA and other countries' regulatory authorities, potentially broadening access for more patients to Novartis transformative therapies in CML.

Sump Pump Maintenance Instructions
- 0-100
If you want to avoid flooding in your basement, proper sump pump maintenance should be something you learn and perform on a regular basis. Both pedestal and submersible sump pumps are effective at preventing water damage in your basement by directing wastewater and rainwater away from your home. However, a sump pump is only effective when it is properly serviced and maintained. Therefore, this article will address proper maintenance methods for sump pumps and how often they should be performed.
Step 1 - Keep Your Sump Pump Clean
The most important step of properly maintaining your sump pump is to make sure it is always clean. In order to keep your sump pump clean, disconnect the sump pump from the power source or disconnect the battery. Then, place the sump pump where you can easily access it. Although this is easy with pedestal-type sump pumps, you may have to lift out a submersible sump pump from the sump pit.
After you have access to the sump pump, use the check valve to remove any excess water in the pump tank. Then, clean away any dirt or grime that is settled on the base of the unit. Over time, this dirt and grime can get into sump pumps that are improperly sealed. So, while cleaning the pump, you should also inspect the container to make sure that all seals are intact.
Step 2 - Inspect Inlet and Outlet Valves on the Pump
You should occasionally inspect the inlet and outlet valves on a sump pump. To do this, you'll need to have an adjustable wrench handy to twist off the valves. Once the valves are removed from the stems, use an old toothbrush to remove any grime and sediment that may have settled into the valves.
Once you have cleaned and reattached the valves, you should also check them for leaks. If the valve stems are leaking, you may be able to quickly repair them by simply using plumber's Teflon tape on the threaded ends. If this approach doesn't work, you'll need to purchase and replace the leaky seals with new ones.
Step 3 - Frequently Test the Sump Pump
You should get in the habit of testing the sump pump on a regular basis. In fact, make a small sign in your basement to remind yourself to test the sump pump occasionally. In order to test it, you simply need to turn it on. If the sump pump is working correctly, it should start pumping any water in the sump pit. If no water is in the pit, take a bucket of water and pour some into the drain. Then, test the sump pump again.
Step 4 - Yearly Tune-Up
About once a year, you should have the sump pump serviced. When servicing the sump pump, you will want to make sure that all moving parts inside the motor are properly oiled and lubricated. Also, make sure all electrical connections are intact and connected with wire nuts. If electrical connections become frayed or damaged, you'll need to re-strip the wires and reconnect them with shielded wire nuts.

The popular Shakespeare Express service to Stratford-upon-Avon will still run this summer after the steam train company which runs it got back on track following a safety wrangle.
Birmingham-based Vintage Trains had been forced to cancel several of its daily excursions after the company which operated the services, West Coast Railway Company (WCRC), was stopped from running services following a number of incidents.
Despite the problem, Vintage Trains, which had not been able to take bookings all year as a result, said it remained hopeful of running the Shakespeare Express service between Birmingham and Stratford.
Now the company can finally take bookings again after the Office of Road and Rail (ORR) dropped its suspension.
A Vintage Trains spokesman said: "2016 did not begin well for Vintage Trains and the mainline steam movement as a whole.
"The suspension of West Coast Railways resulted in the cancellation of all our railtours planned for the beginning of the year.
"The excellent news is that West Coast Railways has satisfied the improvements set forth by the Office of Road and Rail and are again able to operate Vintage Trains' railtour programme and the ever popular summer steam Shakespeare Express trains."
Vintage Trains is now taking bookings for excursion services later this year.
It said credit notes or gift vouchers that have expired since January of this year would be accepted.
The suspension came in February after the ORR announced last November it was investigating West Coast Railways "to protect the safety of its staff, volunteers, passengers and members of the public".
That came after two incidents – one of them in October when it emerged a locomotive had switched off its protection and warning system isolation equipment, designed to apply an emergency brake if the driver makes an error.
A separate investigation was already taking place after a West Coast Railways' steam-hauled train failed to stop at a signal near Wootton Bassett in March.
STORY LINK You can now have a house party at Shakespeare's sister's home
In an earlier letter to customers, Bob Meanley, managing director of Vintage Trains, had maintained the company was keen to resolve the issue in time for the 2016 Shakespeare Express service, which runs from mid July to early September.
Earlier this year the ORR said it needed to be satisfied West Coast Railways' "governance and operations meet industry practice and are fit for the scale of its operation".
In a statement it added: "Steps the company must take include: the introduction of clearer governance structures with proper accountability for safety, more robust risk assessments and enhanced processes for managing staff with a focus on safety culture."

U.S. pending home sales fell 5.7% in January, according to the National Association of Realtors
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal expect pending home sales to rise 1%.
It was the third straight month of declines for the Pending Home Sales Index, which tracks transactions that have signed contracts but have not yet completed home sales.
The West was the only region active in January. Activity fell in all regions compared to levels 12 months ago.
The big picture: Overall, economists expect 2022 to be a tough year for housing. They didn't expect the industry's wheels to teeter at the start of the year.

Our industry is ever-changing. Get insights and perspective from our experts as we share our knowledge and experience on how to successfully navigate the marketing landscape.
Connection /k??nekSH?n/ A relationship in which a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else. The action of linking one thing with another: "connection to the Internet". We're 48 hours into CES and one thing is abundantly clear - we're living in a connected world. From the "connected home" to the "connected car" and all the way to the "connected fork," connected devices have more than just arrived, they are sophisticatedly ... well... connected. Here are a few quick highlights from the convention floor and some potential implications for brands/marketers. The Connected Home We've all heard the use case - you're driving home from work and your car notifies you that you need more eggs as you drive by your local grocery store. It's a fun fantasy, right? Well, it's actually already a reality. Major appliances makers like LG are featuring a full line of "smart" home appliances - ranging from refrigerators to ovens to washers/dryers. Now your fridge can provide recipe recommendations based on what's inside and you can set your spin cycle with a few clicks on your mobile device from anywhere. Hell, you can even check-in on your robotic vacuum via a live feed to an on-device camera. The Connected Car Advances in telematics are empowering car manufacturers like Chevy with exciting new options to provide utility and efficiency to drivers. Connected cars can now sync with your personal music apps or listening history, seamlessly connect with mobile devices for hands-free texting and can control most features with natural speech voice control. And, what's not far off is sophisticated tracking on driving behavior - how often you drive, how aggressive/fast you drive, etc. - which insurance companies are already tapping into to offer discounted rates. We're likely not far off from being able to pre-program your vehicle to auto-text loved ones at the instance of an auto accident. While I don't wish a fender bender upon anyone, I'm sure many parents would be comforted to know they'd be immediately informed if an accident happened. And, they would probably also like to be able to access a dashboard to see when/where their kids took mom's car. The Connected Everything Else From healthcare and fitness apps to pet tracking to forks, the convention floor was packed with devices and gadgets that either can be controlled, monitored or synced with your mobile device and/or web-based dashboard. It seems that the smart phone is already accelerating the convergence of a single device as a true "universal remote" for your life. Take for example the Hapifork - a connected utensil that tracks the number of fork lifts in a meal, the speed at which you eat and the number of calories consumed. And if you're doing any of those at too fast or too indulgent of a pace, you'll get a friendly buzz reminding you to stop scarfing down your meal. Pretty cool? Or too far? You tell me. What Does It All Mean The "connected future" that CES has on display obviously has many implications for future consumer behavior, but it also presents some very interesting considerations for advertising opportunities. Brands will now be able to uniquely target consumers based on deeper behavioral insights across multiple devices. And new mediums - like you refrigerator - will quickly pop up as potential billboards for brand messaging. Imagine the scenario where your fridge knows you need eggs and overlay the potential for your local supermarket to deliver a $0.50 off coupon or advertise product from a local farmer. It's advertising at a personalized level, delivered in real-time and guaranteed to be contextually relevant. Not too bad.
It's definitely been a great start to CES. We primarily hit the conference track panels yesterday with some brief time on the exhibitor floor in between. One key theme we kept hearing was around the idea of convergence. While this is nothing new, as we continue to move towards an always-connected, always-open-for-content lifestyle, it's something that isn't going away anytime soon. Technology brands are increasingly looking to own both hardware and software with a way to augment content across their own devices. Apple has been incredibly successful with this structure and many brands are late to the party and undergoing the associated growing pains. And while it was an ongoing theme, this goes beyond the idea of content across multiple screens and devices. We're moving closer and closer to a day when all of our devices and appliances are going to be connected and communicating with one another. From our brief time on the exhibitor floor, it's apparent that 2012 won't feature any game-changing products. We caught a glimpse at LG's 55" 3D OLED, which is every bit as crave-worthy as you'd imagine and Sharp's portable flat screens which are every bit as head-scratching as you'd imagine but nothing has really owned the show so far. After seeing some of the big guys, we're thinking that if there's going to be anything really ground-breaking, it's going to be from some of the smaller exhibitors. Looking forward to the next few days; we will have plenty to report back on this week.

Primitivism In Modernist Literature: A Study Of Eliot, Woolf And Lawrence
MetadataShow full item record
Van Esveld, William
The subjects of "civilization" are trapped in an alienating, inauthentic culture, but can escape by cultivating the "primitive" hidden within themselves: grotesque, even terrifying, but authentic in its drives, desires and relationship to the world. Known as primitivism, this diagnosis of cultural failure and its purported cure profoundly influenced modernist artists. Beyond the succès de scandale they enjoyed by inverting the hierarchy of savage and civilized, primitivists claimed to speak from a position that was, as Eliot put it, "deeper" and "older" than - and uncontaminated by - their culture. They plumbed an unchanging, inner essence, of which they saw glimpses everywhere from ancient artifacts and African masks to drawings by children and mental patients. The rediscovery of primitive mentality thus promised to overcome modernity's characteristic epistemological anxiety - what James Clifford called "off-centeredness in a world of distinct meaning systems." Yet while primitivism revalued the stereotype of the savage and prized the primitive as mysterious and unknowable, it never overcame the objectifying view that "primitives" were fundamentally all the same, and important primarily as a window onto suppressed aspects of the civilized personality. Primitivism informed (and in some cases deformed) Eliot's, Woolf's and Lawrence's critical social theories, their justifications for writing and publishing, and their understanding of their own aesthetic projects. These writers were preoccupied with the conflict between their need for authentic, radical expression, and their relationship to the public. Primitivist aesthetics justified their art as a spiritual and societal necessity and shielded it from attack as mere neurotic acting-out. Further, each writer drew on primitivist discourse to develop theories of literature and the artistic impulse, from Eliot's theories of poetic imagination to his and Woolf's ideas of the importance of "impersonality." At critical moments in their creative lives, including the writing of "The Waste Land," The Voyage Out, and The Plumed Serpent, primitivism enabled these writers to set the criteria by which their writing should be understood.

In the U.S., do households in the top 1% of income pay a higher or lower average effective federal tax rate than middle-income households?
Correct Answer
Tell Me More
The Congressional Budget Office, the Obama administration Treasury Department, and the Tax Policy Center have all documented that households in the top 1% of income pay an average effective federal tax rate of about 33%, while middle income households pay about 12%. These tax rates account for nearly all income and federal taxes. Claims that the top 1% pay a lower rate are based on calculations that exclude large portions of people's taxes and/or incomes.
