Gamification: Are You Upwardly Mobile?
Regardless of where you stand in the stream, technology pervades the world around you, as well as the business you do.
Many of you are probably aware that you can see reviews of businesses on Google Maps, and that these are the result of users adding content and describing their experiences. You may also be aware that users can also update and/or edit information about a location or even add it if it doesn't exist.
As consumers and critics, we are catered to with technologies to a previously unconsidered extent, but a recent trip with my family made me realize just how much those technologies apply to the ever-changing and competitive talent market as well.
Data, Service and Status
While travelling in Thailand, our family found these reviews extremely useful in deciding where to eat, visit, and stay; when faced with an unanticipated travel emergency, reviews even highly influenced our hospital choice. 'Local Guides' are users that contribute on a regular basis, and Google Maps incentivizes these users with badges, leader board notifications, and the ability to see exactly how many people have viewed their pictures and read their reviews.
It is this game-like experience that motivates people to post more photos and reviews, and to level-up as Local Guides—"My name is Howie, and I am a level 5 local guide…and I'm only 247 points away from level 6."
Gamification Driving Results
The term gamification was created by Nick Pelling in 2002, but wasn't used widely until 2010. I think most of us now recognize the term, and understand it to be when the principles of game design (leveling up, leader boards, badges) are applied outside of the gaming environment to drive certain behavioural outcomes.
For example, Duolingo, one of the more prolific language-learning apps, uses gamification to break the daunting task of learning a language into small, bite size pieces. Incentives are provided to keep the Duolingo user interested and engaged within the app, ultimately resulting in improved language skills.
Getting HR Into The Game
More and more organizations are realizing the potential of using gamification for a variety of purposes, from on-boarding to staff training and development, and are re-writing corporate training programs with these principles in mind.
With these needs comes the demand for HR practitioners who have an expertise in this area. As such, we are starting to see this term used in job descriptions more and more, with companies looking for learning and development experts to design and develop digital learning solutions for the modern learner using augmented/virtual reality and the principles of gamification. When positions like these move from the hidden job market to Indeed and LinkedIn, it's a sign that gamification is here to stay.
Play With Purpose Linked to Profit
Gamifying elements of the 9-to-5 slog contributes to a more engaged workforce, as well as building essential skills. Being upwardly mobile in today's workforce means continuing to expose ourselves to in-demand skills—one of the more important ones being our digital fluency.
Understanding how a mobile phone works, beyond basic phone functions, is one aspect of this fluency. By embracing the concept of gamification, your organization is not only improving employee engagement but also keeping their skills sharp.
3 Reasons to Get Gamified at Work
Here are three ways to use gamification to improve various aspects of your workplace:
- Teambuilding: Gamification provides team building opportunities in a few ways. Perhaps the easiest and least expensive to implement is encouraging employees to talk about and share their experiences on non-work related apps that relate to corporate goals and values. For example, providing employees a structured way to share weekend workouts and Grouse Grind segment times using Strava, a social fitness network, promotes a healthy lifestyle and creates workplace conversations about positive health choices. For organizations with a focus on tourism and travel, promoting apps like Google Maps and encouraging employees to share their profiles and travel experiences can build a deeper understanding of who our co-workers are and what motivates them.
- Learning and Development: More and more case studies exist showcasing how global companies like Deloitte, Google, and Microsoft have gamified certain aspects of their learning and development plans. For example, to better train their sales force to deal with complex customer questions, SAP built and introduced an application called "Road Warrior". Using badges, progress bars, and leader boards, sales representatives became better prepared and more able to deal with customer queries by becoming masters of SAP product knowledge. This resulted in improved sales team knowledge and confidence, and ultimately increased sales. For those organizations without an internal app development team, an easy plug and play solution is Atrivity, which enables employees to learn and develop work-related knowledge faster and more efficiently through mobile phone game play. Since inception, companies have used Atrivity to increase knowledge retention by posing over 100 million questions to thousands of employees worldwide.
- Talent Management: Could you imaging playing a game and having to wait a year to find out how you did, or what your score was? 7Geese is a Vancouver startup that has applied the principles of gamification to performance reviews and other elements of talent management. Instead of waiting for an annual performance review, employees are given immediate feedback from co-workers and supervisors on their performance. Research suggests that employees who feel appreciated and are recognized for their contributions, not just big wins, are more likely to stay engaged as employees, which positively contributes to retention.
Game On (or Over)
There are many ways to apply the principles of gamification in the workplace without gamifying your entire corporate talent management strategy. Importantly, more and more employees expect elements of gamification in the workplace, as they are surrounded by them outside of work. By not embracing these principles and practices, you set your organization apart from the competition…in the wrong way.

Grounding: The sweet science of getting back into the moment, resetting, and re-engaging
Imagine you find yourself in a boxing ring as a fighter, and your opponent in the match comes out swinging. The other boxer lands a couple of hard-hitting blows, and they send you down. You still have fight in you, and you're ready to go. What's the first thing you have to do with your body before you can do anything else?
From the prone position, there is no fight. The match is over, and you are overwhelmed and out. To do something different from lying on the mat, you have to get back on your feet.
Intense and distressful emotions and thoughts can feel like blows in a boxing match. Grounding is a way to become present, get back on your feet, and allow the emotions and thoughts to be so that you can then re-engage in life. Getting your feet under you in a boxing match does not make your opponent vanish. However, getting back on your feet allows you to do other things (e.g., fight again or head to the corner to take a second to steady yourself) while the other boxer is still in the ring. How do we get back on our feet in the presence of difficult emotions and thoughts? Try out the following steps below and notice your experience.
Three Steps for One Important Skill (as adapted from the World Health Organization [2020])
Step 1: Notice
Notice how you are feeling and what you are thinking. Notice by saying to yourself, "Here's anger/sadness/anxiety," or "I am thinking about xyz" with openness and without an attempt to change it.
2. Slow Down and Connect with Your Body
The World Health Organization (2020) suggests slowly emptying your lungs and slowly refilling them up while pausing for a second or two before emptying/refilling, pressing your feet firmly in the floor, and stretching your arms out wide. This step is about knowing through experience that you have more control over your body than you may think.
3. Re-Focus and Re-Engage
The step is about re-engaging in the world around you. Note five things you can see, four you can hear, three you can feel/touch. Re-engaging sometimes means restarting what you were doing before feeling overwhelmed by emotions; sometimes, it means engaging in a self-care activity (going for a walk). By realizing that this situation presents an opportunity to do something different than what you've tried in the past (such as attempting to reduce or get rid of painful thoughts and feelings), you may be able to identify and deploy a new skill to more effectively engage in in the world around you.
While fighting against your emotions or thoughts is a never-ending struggle and can make you feel stuck in a loop, you may find that using these three steps helps you get back on your feet and do something useful. After getting back on your feet, try reconnecting with what matters to you, mindfully re-engaging in what you were doing before the hits came, or talking with a caring friend. Remember, like in a boxing match, you may have to get on your feet many times during a rough moment to do what matters.
If you would like to learn more about this approach and build skills to manage life's struggles differently, contact Dr. Glenn Sloman at 321-345-0579 or email@example.com to schedule a consult.

An apprehension concerning the role of Israel in shaping what Jews perceive in terms of culture and peoplehood heightens the demand for Israeli sensitivity as it influences the way Jewishness is defined and practiced around the world
We have dealt briefly with Israel's authority to define Jewishness in a previous chapter, but there were things left to say about how Israel's role is perceived by Israelis and non-Israelis. That is because Israel, as a matter of fact, has at least two important functions in determining the nature of Jewishness for a great number of Jews.
For Israeli Jews – more than 40 percent of world Jewry – Israel makes the rules, some of which have to do with Jewishness. For example, since Israel lacks a mechanism for civil marriage and only allows marriage under the auspices of religious authorities, it effectively gives these religious authorities a mandate to determine a person's Jewishness and hence their marriageability within the system.
For non-Israeli Jews, Israel also determines some matters pertaining to Jewishness. It is the only arbiter with the authority to say who is (or is not) eligible to immigrate to Israel under the Law of Return – the most visible manifestation of Israel's claim to be the state of the Jewish people. Diaspora Jewry, as we reported in 2014, "widely supports the Law of Return as an expression of solidarity between Israel and the Diaspora and believe that it guarantees a safe haven for Jews in distress."151 This issue came up in this year's discussions as the Law of Return and its definitions of eligibility were presented to participants. "One of the major attributes of Israel is that it's a place for all Jews," one participant reminded his friends 152 (a more elaborate discussion of the Law of Return and its meaning, appears later).
Moreover, Israel is the most powerful body of the Jewish world, and, hence, can make decisions – for example, encouraging and allocating funds for projects such as Birthright, or prohibited mixed-gender prayer at the Western Wall – that impact Jewishness. Again, this was an issue covered in JPPI's 2014 Dialogue report where we concluded, among other things, that "Israel, as the most visible manifestation of Jewish national expression today, impacts the way Judaism is perceived by Jews and non-Jews alike. Hence, its character… can influence Jewish identity in several ways – from enhancing the role of nationality as the main expression of Judaism, to making Judaism more or less attractive for young people, and intensifying or diminishing their desire to belong to, and take pride in, their Jewishness."153
Alas, not all participants in this year's JPPI Dialogue were comfortable with the way Jewishness is interpreted by Jewish Israelis. "There are many people who are not considered Jews by Israel, yet they are much more Jewish than many Jews in Israel," one young participant remarked.154 In Chicago, a participant said that Diaspora Jews should craft their Jewishness "without always looking to what Israel is doing, and without the need for [Israeli] approval."155 In Philadelphia it was argued that "it is inappropriate for the Israeli government to take a position on Diaspora Jewry's manner of Jewish practice, definitions, and observance". 156
Recent studies have shown time and time again that most Israeli Jews and non-Israeli Jews appreciate relations between all Jews, and see value in maintaining them. "Jews in the U.S. and Israel have deep connections," the 2016 Pew report on Israel concluded. Jews in Israel "support the [D]iaspora population's right to move to Israel and receive citizenship"; they believe "a thriving Jewish [D]iaspora is necessary for the long-term survival of the Jewish people."157 JPPI's 2016 Pluralism in Israel survey showed that Israelis, by and large, agree that Diaspora Jews contribute more to the thriving of Israel than many Israeli groups.158
But, as we wrote in last year's Dialogue report: "It is one thing for Israel to acknowledge the changing dynamics of its relationship with the Diaspora, its need to work harder at strengthening Jewish communities abroad, and even the desirability of taking Diaspora Jewry's views into consideration… It is another thing to agree to World Jewry's intervention in Israeli affairs."159 That is to say, Israeli influence on the character of Jewishness around the world, does not necessarily mean that Israel (and Israelis) would be willing to accept explicit Diaspora interference in the affairs of the Jewish state (in an interconnected world a measure of influence through various channels is inevitable). Israelis, as the Guttman-Avichai survey reported, are of the view that "the Jews in Israel are a different nation than the Jews abroad." 160 This surely includes differences in defining and understanding Jewishness.
Like last year, this year's Dialogue survey included several questions concerning Israel's role(s) and how it relates to questions that pertain to Diaspora communities. One question asked participants to agree or disagree with the statement: "Israel's definition of 'Jew' is an insult to Diaspora Jewry." We did not provide specific details about the nature of the insult, assuming that the question left general would give us insight into the negative perceptions of some Diaspora Jews vis-à-vis Israeli definitions of Jewishness.
The findings are inconclusive. We utilized a 1 – 4 scale (1 = "totally disagree"; and 4 = "totally agree," for the question: "Israel's definition of 'Jew' is an insult to Diaspora Jewry." The difference in how Israelis and North Americans (and Australians – but not Brazilians)161 answered is notable. Only 8 percent of Israelis "totally agree[d]", while more than 20 percent of Americans and Australians "totally agree[d]" with the statement. Younger Dialogue participants agreed with the statement more than older participants. And, obviously, the response to this statement varied according to religious affiliation, with Orthodox Jews least disturbed by Israel's definitions and Reform Jews most disturbed by them.
"Strongly agree" that Israel's definition of a "Jew" is an insult to Diaspora Jewry, by religious affiliation
One of the interesting things we tested this year was the difference in opinion among Jews when asked about how Israel-Diaspora relations feed into Israeli decision making on various topics. Last year, when the Dialogue focused on armed conflict, we showed that "a fair number of Diaspora Jews feel they are entitled to express their opinions and that Israel should take them into account, even on major security issues."162 When we asked Dialogue participants whether they think: 1. Israel should conduct its armed conflicts without regard to the views of Jews living outside of Israel; 2. Israel should consider the views of other Jews because its armed conflicts could have impact on their lives; 3. Israel should consider the views of other Jews, because all Jews define the framework of conducting an armed conflict in accordance with Jewish values; or 4. Israel should consider the views of other Jews if it wants to keep their support for its armed conflicts. Thirty-eight percent of respondents chose the second statement, that Israel needs to consider their views because "its armed conflicts could have impact on their lives."
This year, on a totally different topic, we presented a dilemma with a similar set of four possible choices: Thinking about Israel-Diaspora relations, do you generally believe that: A. Israel should decide who is considered Jewish in Israel without regard to the views of Jews living outside of Israel; B. Israel should consider the views of non-Israeli Jews mostly because its definition could have an impact on their lives; C. Israel should consider the views of non-Israeli Jews, mostly because all Jews define the framework of Jewishness; or D. Israel should consider the views of non-Israeli Jews, mostly because it wants to keep other Jews associated with it and supporting it.
Unlike last year, when the issue was security, people's concern for their own safety, and the expectation that Israel would take the possible impact on their lives into account – this year, on the issue of Jewishness, the priority was a sense of partnership. Jewishness is not an Israeli business. It is the business of all Jews. Hence, about half of all participants (including a plurality of Israeli respondents) chose C., that Israel "should consider the views of non-Israeli Jews, mostly because all Jews define the framework of Jewishness." Israeli, Orthodox, and secular Jews had a slightly stronger inclination toward the pragmatic instrumental answer (to keep other Jews associated with Israel and supporting it) than other Jews. But the leading choice emphasized the partnership of Jews in defining Jewishness. Notably, the number of participants believing that Israel has no need to consider the views of Diaspora Jews dropped from about a third of respondents last year, when the issue was armed conflict, to a negligible 5 percent this year, when the issue was Jewish identity. Even among Israelis, who one might expect to be less enthusiastic about Diaspora influence on Israeli determinations, less than 10 percent of respondents thought there was "no need for Israel to consider Diaspora views." 163
JPPI 2016 Dialogue – Israel Diaspora relations about Jewishness: Thinking about Israel-Diaspora relations, Israel should consider views of non-Israeli Jews when determining who is considered Jewish in Israel:
JPPI 2015 Dialogue – Israel-Diaspora relations about security: Thinking about Israel-Diaspora relations, Israel should consider views of non-Israeli Jews when conducting armed conflicts…
Israelis are supportive of the idea of Israel taking Diaspora Jewry "into consideration" when major decisions have to be made. An Israel Democracy Institute survey showed that 71 percent of respondents stated that Israel should take Diaspora Jewry into account when making decisions, versus 26 percent who felt that Israel has no need to do so. And yet, as we explained last year: "It is one thing for Israel to acknowledge the changing dynamics of its relationship with the Diaspora, its need to work harder at strengthening Jewish communities abroad, and even the desirability of taking Diaspora Jewry's views into consideration… it is another thing to agree to World Jewry's intervention in Israeli affairs. Especially in security related matters, on which Israelis have a very different perspective from Diaspora Jews." 164
The two tables above clearly show that JPPI's previous two Dialogue reports were quite accurate in identifying that it is easier for Israel – as it is for other Jews – to accept and expect Israeli consideration of Diaspora when the discussion pertains to Israel's Jewishness. The reports were also accurate in asserting that it is more complicated for Israelis to agree to, and for Diaspora Jews to demand, such consideration on matters concerning Israel's security and defense policies.
Our integration of the answers to all the questions about Israel's role in defining Judaism finds the following:
- An acknowledgment of Israel's major influence on how Jewishness is perceived and practiced around the world.
- An apprehension surrounding the role of a state in shaping what Jews see as a culture and a people.
- A demand for greater Israeli sensitivity because of this influence (and the displeasure with its current level of sensitivity).
- A desire for partnership between Israel and Jewish communities around the world in crafting the future of Jewishness.
- An understanding that on some matters (as we will see in the discussion of the Law of Return) Israel ought to define Jewishness more strictly than other Jewish communities

Danish MRSA pork found in Sweden
A random sampling of Danish pork sold in Stockholm supermarkets found the resistant MRSA bacteria in one in every five packages.
Published: 14 November 2014 09:04 CET

The massive increase in the prevalence of MRSA in Denmark is also affecting Swedish consumers. A study carried out by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter in tandem with Sweden's National Veterinary Institute (Statens veterinärmedicinska) found that four of 20 packages of Danish pork bought throughout the Stockholm area contained the resistant MRSA bacteria.
A random sampling of German pork found the presence of MRSA in just one of 20 packages.
A similar test in Denmark found the same prevalence of the bacteria. The Technical University of Denmark analysed 100 packages of Danish-produced pork and found the MRSA 398 bacteria in 21 of them. That represented a steep increase from just five years ago when a similar analysis found the presence of MRSA in just five percent of Danish pork products.
Pigs do not become ill from MRSA and the bacteria is not particularly dangerous for people who are healthy. But for people who are already feeling weak or poorly, exposure to the bacteria can lead to blood poisoning and in the worst cases death.
See also: Every fifth pack of pork carries MRSA
Two leading experts concluded in August that up to 12,000 people are currently infected with MRSA 398 in Denmark, a variant that can be transmitted from livestock to humans.
With the Swedish findings, officials there are concerned.
"It's unlikely that you would become infected through meat but it is unpleasant to know that there are resistant bacteria in the food that you buy," Olov Aspevall, chief physician of the Swedish Public Health Agency (Folkhälsomyndigheten) told Dagens Nyheter.
Last year Sweden imported 142,000 tonnes of pig products, with three quarters of that amount coming from Denmark and Germany.
The prevalence of MRSA among Danish pigs has already led Norway's largest retailer to consider a stop of all imports of Danish pork.

Anvarol, another important legal steroid for sale on the Crazy Bulk website is essentially used during the cutting cycle for lean muscle mass retention, strength maintenance and increased energyoutput. This article will cover the pros and cons of this substance as it relates to anabolic androgenic steroids as well as its effectiveness and risk. Anabolic Steroids It is difficult to classify anabolic steroids as either a therapeutic drug or a prohibited substance, crazy website bulk. These terms refer to steroids that are approved for use by the medical community and are legally categorized as medicines, which is defined as something that helps you and people you care about improve their condition. These treatments typically include treating an anabolic problem or condition, or treating symptoms of other illnesses. A few examples of legal anabolic steroids would be testosterone, testosterone enanthate (TEA) and androstanediol (ANAC), crazy bulk ultimate stack how to take. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), an organization comprised of the World Health Organization (WHO), International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), considers drugs to be illegal if they are listed as prohibited in the International Sporting Code of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), crazy bulk website. The International Sporting Code is a set of regulations that governs athletes' use of any of the three major sports or recreational sports of athletics, track and field, and swimming. Although these three most common sports have prohibited substances in them, some substances may be considered "legal," in that they are only prohibited as a medication, crazy bulk price in pakistan. Anabolic steroids, along with performance enhancing substances (PES) and their derivatives, are classified as medicinal drugs, and are therefore subject to WADA's regulations. A common mistake made during the drug testing process is that athletes are testing positive for only the more commonly used ingredients because they are able to justify the presence of more potent drug than the listed listed drug which may be classified as something that is technically forbidden, but is not banned in sports in general, crazy bulk track my order. In the same sense that some substances are generally considered legal to take, but aren't considered illegal to possess in all cases, some anabolic steroids can be classified as prescribed medication or medicinal in that a doctor can prescribe them. Most individuals who are considering becoming anabolic steroid users usually begin by starting with a clean supply of synthetic testosterone because it has a much lower potential for performance enhancement than naturally derived testosterone, crazy bulk all products. The only difference between anabolic androgenic steroid is that one of them also has anabolic effects and, typically, anabolic steroids are more effective than their synthetic counterparts in helping muscle growth.

Minimally Invasive Brain Repair, Biotherapy, Physical Therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Mark, a 42-year-old male patient from the United States, suffered from a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in March 2018, while he was at home. After he recovered, Mark was left with his left body side feeling numb and with persistent neuropathic pain. His motor function was also impaired, as it was not easy for him to walk. The Long-term physical discomfort made Mark feel more and more anxious, especially since every treatment he tried during this 8 month long ordeal, did not provide any solution or pain relieve. Mark became sacred that he would fall and as a consequence became home bound and worried about having to walk around.
Mark has two daughters and his duty to provide for them overcame his fear and Mark continued to search for a solution, when the began to read about all advanced stroke treatments he could find on the internet.
After learning about stereotactic surgery, which is offered at Beijing Puhua International Hospital (BPIH), he immediately got in touch with our international department and requested us to provide more information and to have a look at his case.
With the desire to get well and the new found trust in our Hospital, Mark made arrangements to travels from San Francisco to our hospital in Beijing on December 1, 2018, to receive two weeks of treatment.
After arriving at BPIH, his cases was properly analyzed and every department from Neurology to Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as the Rehabilitation, made arrangements through their appointed specialist to create a treatment plan specifically just for him.
Finally on December 7th, stereotactic surgery was performed under local anesthesia.
Mark was on stereotactic surgery
Following surgery, Mark received specific supplementation to support his neurological condition as well as rehabilitation exercises and acupuncture. Mark commented that the nerve pain was greatly reduced and the body was stronger than before. At the same time, his mood became to improve and the anxiety was lifting from his mind.
He started to get up and was encouraged by his new found ability to walk with confidence. He now began to walk out of his hospital room, although not quite stable yet, he did not require any support!. Before returning home, Mark specially went to visit the local shopping mall in Beijing–Xiu Shui Jie to purchase some new clothes with his mother, however he insisted on not taking a wheelchair. He said: I can go by myself, thank you, let me rekindle my hope for life!
After surgery, Mark try to go out.
Before returning home, Mark took photos with our staff.
On the 15th December , Mark returned back home with his mother to the United States. He said that he will adjust his lifestyle and diet as soon as he gets home to lose weight. He will pay more attention to control his blood pressure and blood lipids to prevent the recurrence of any further stroke! Most importantly he will continue to conduct his rehabilitation training.
Next summer he will return again for a further physical examination by our specialist. We hope to see much improved and happier Mark by then and wish him a speedy recovery!

Letter: Lawbreakers should clean up that which they damaged
Staff Writer
The Columbus Dispatch
I respond to the photograph accompanying the Tuesday Dispatch article "More cleanup at Statehouse." The picture of the steps and entrance to the Statehouse shows the boarded-up entrance door, three State Highway Patrol officers standing idly by and a three-man powerwashing crew working to remove paint from the steps.
The article said it was the fourth time the crew has been called on since the George Floyd protests began.
The next time such an incident is reported, I would like to see a two-photo spread. The first would be of the "peaceful painters" being arrested and the second of one State Highway patrolman guarding and supervising as those who were arrested man the powerwashers.

The Internet impacts every facet of the modern citizen's life, including how they receive health care services. Because of the Internet, health care is no longer confined to the four walls of a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office. Today, a patient in Ahoskie, North Carolina, with a short-term illness can access the University of North Carolina's Urgent Care network via a Skype-like video call 24/7 [1]. Patients with chronic diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure can track their symptoms and vitals through an app on their smartphone that communicates data to their provider, rather than visiting the doctor for frequent check-ups [2]. Providers can even remotely support a person recovering from opioid use disorder through apps that allow doctors to monitor adherence to the prescribed treatment protocols [3].
Physicians and health care professionals can more easily connect, advise, and provide consult to each other now too. Through the NC Statewide Telepsychiatry Program (NC-STeP), an emergency room physician in Scotland County can consult with a psychiatrist from East Carolina University on treatment methods for a patient presenting rare behavioral health symptoms [4]. Radiologists can quickly and easily send MRIs to doctors across the world, and physicians can quickly view notes recorded at a patient's last visit through Electronic Health Records (EHR) [5].
These, and a wide variety of other services, all fall under the umbrella of telehealth. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology defines telehealth as "the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support and promote long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health, and health administration [6]." The field is rapidly evolving, progressing, and is increasingly more mainstream—CVS recently announced patients in nine states can soon use mobile applications on smartphones to access their MinuteClinics [7].
The potential benefits from a comprehensive integration of telehealth services and other broadband-enabled technologies into the state's health care system are vast. Research has shown that telehealth services can decrease costs for consumers and health care providers while simultaneously driving down overall health care costs [8].
A majority of North Carolina's 100 counties have health care professional shortages in the three categories—mental health, primary care, and dental health—the federal and state government track. In 90 of the 100 counties there is a shortage of mental health professionals; in 82 counties there is a shortage of primary care professionals; and 74 counties have a shortage of dental professionals (personal communication, John Resendes, analytics and innovations manager, Office of Rural Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, August 2018). Telehealth can help overcome the health care disparities caused by these gaps in care by connecting patients with providers outside their communities.
However, the citizens who would benefit from telehealth services the most are the households most likely to lack access to the technologies and skills necessary for using telehealth services. As of December 2016, at least 259,000 North Carolinian households did not have access to adequate broadband in their homes [9]. Of those without access, 95% live in rural areas. In addition, 49.8% of North Carolina's households do not subscribe to broadband because they cannot afford it, do not have the skills to use it, do not have a device at home to use it with, or do not see its relevance to their lives [10].
These households fall into what's called the "digital divide," or the gulf between those who have access to computers and Internet and those who do not [11]. Those in the divide are often low-income, minority led, or elderly households. They are also often in rural towns or communities. Those in the digital divide will not be able to encounter the benefits of telehealth services and so long as telehealth cannot be widely accessed, it will fail to fully relieve the health care system of the inefficiencies it promises to solve.
To realize the full potential benefits telehealth promises in North Carolina, the digital divide must be closed. Our team at the Broadband Infrastructure Office of the North Carolina Department of Information Technology works to ensure all North Carolinians have access to affordable high-speed Internet, anywhere at any time. Expanding affordable access to broadband to the unserved citizens and those who do not adopt it requires strategic, innovative, and dedicated partnerships, policies, and programs. Programs such as the newly established Growing Rural Economies with Access to Technology (GREAT) program designed to facilitate the deployment of broadband to unserved areas of the state will contribute to increasing broadband availability and closing the digital divide [12]. Partnerships with subject matter experts like ours with the NC Department of Health and Human Services Office of Rural Health are important ways to address the unique challenges that a lack of affordable access can have on a citizen's ability to interact with and benefit from certain aspects of 21st-century society. To enhance access to health care in North Carolina, it will be necessary to form additional strategic partnerships, programs, and policies while simultaneously dedicating more resources to closing the digital divide.

The University of California on Nov. 9 launched a Global Health Institute using almost $4 million in startup funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The institute will begin a one-year master's degree program for enrolling students in fall 2011 and focus the expertise of the university's 10 campuses in creating solutions to the world's global health challenges.
"One Health: Water, Animals, Food and Society" is one of the three multicampus, multidisciplinary centers established under the institute.
"It is becoming very clear that we in the United States both receive and contribute to global health problems," said Patricia Conrad, DVM, Ph.D., a professor in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, who will lead the One Health Center. "This year we saw how new diseases like H1N1 influenza are only a short flight away from us in California and how, within days, they can spread worldwide. We also are seeing how financial decisions made in the United States can profoundly impact the entire world's economy, just as our carbon use can alter the world's climate.
"Our students see this clearly, and they want the practical skills, relevant knowledge and opportunities to help solve the resulting health problems that impact vulnerable people in California and globally. Now is the best time for the University of California to help prepare students for those challenges."
The other two centers are "Migration and Health" and "Women's Health and Empowerment," to be led by the UC Davis School of Medicine, and UC San Francisco and UCLA, respectively.
In addition to the one-year master's program, the institute is planning two-year master's and doctoral programs, granted by the UC campuses at which the students conduct their work. Under the institute's umbrella, the centers at the individual campuses will spearhead development of the graduate degree programs and design field projects for students at partnership sites worldwide.

At the beginning of the week, I wanted bank at least thirty thousand and fifty-five thousand good words into Atherean Defenders, so I could return to work with at least half of the novel finished. Truthfully, this may be the most difficult writing task I've ever undertaken, and I was sleeping maybe four hours a night (I was dead on my feet by Wednesday, but I got it done. Fifty-four thousand words and two hundred and sixteen pages.
Now, to be completely honest, going back over this, I would not call of these good words. It's better than what I did for NaNoWriMo, sure, but it's still in heavy need of revision.
So that's it; mission accomplished, pretty much fried every nerve in my brain and my fingers were cramping up, but I did it.
Thanks for the support, and thank you for reading. See you next week.

The Gifted Cancelled After Two Seasons On Fox, But There's Some Hope For More
While there are still many beloved primetime offerings currently making themselves semi-comfortable atop the TV cancellation bubble, Fox delivered a blow to the cast, crew and fans of the Marvel TV drama The Gifted, which has been cancelled two months after its shocking Season 2 finale aired. But there's still a mutated sliver of a chance that The Gifted may one day find new life elsewhere for Season 3.
Let's talk that cancellation first. The Gifted made its highly anticipated debut on Fox back in 2017, and though the series earned good marks from critics, the drama rather intentionally distanced itself from inserting familiar X-Men-related references. So that, by the time The Gifted did start bringing out comic elements like the Frost Sisters and the Morlocks, the show was already fighting a hard battle to steal viewers from the otherwise strong Tuesday-night programming.
As far as the ratings and viewership numbers went, Season 1 was a strong, if not outstanding, showing for The Gifted. Though its numbers fluctuated throughout, the live airings rarely dipped below three million viewers, and the key 18-49 demo hovered around a 1.0 rating. After delayed viewing totals were tallied, Season 1 averaged around 5.85 million pairs of peepers, with a 2.0 demo rating average. It's no surprise that a second season was ordered.
Unfortunately for all involved, those steady totals took a dip in Season 2, whose premiere only reached 2.5 million people on the night it aired. The average viewership sank below two million as the season neared its end, with only 1.6 million tuning in for the finale (and the two episodes preceding it). Those last episodes didn't even reach a full 1.0 demo rating after the Live+7 stats were added in, which are results that might help keep a CW comic book show on the air, but Fox needs more help than that against shows like World of Dance and FBI.
Had Fox maintained ownership of The Gifted, there's a small chance the network might have renewed it for a shortened third season to air on Friday nights, or something along those lines. However, the Marvel TV production is part of the House of Mouse following Disney's takeover of most-things-Fox, so there wasn't much reason for Fox to remain involved.
According to Deadline, there haven't been any big and active conversations publicized that are centered on giving The Gifted more episodes now that it's part of the Disney family. That doesn't mean those conversations aren't happening behind at least one closed door, though, and the possibility does remain for Disney to inject some new life into the mutant-filled drama.
How likely is that option? I mean, I wouldn't go out screen-printing any The Gifted Season 3 T-shirts to give to family and friends, but stranger things have happened. Disney already has a handful of Marvel-tethered TV shows scattered around, so there likely wouldn't be hesitance about embarking on such a project. Hulu has Runaways and all those upcoming animated projects, Freeform has Cloak & Dagger, FX has Legion, and ABC has Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Surely room could be made to add The Gifted to any of those places, right?
It all depends on how much value The Gifted has for any other networks and services. Though the "us vs. them" drama didn't set up any direct connections to other avenues of Marvel's TV ventures, perhaps creating a crossover opportunity would be just the ticket to get more people watching The Gifted for a potential Season 3. The finale did feature a pretty big death, and other factors that would need addressing, but it could happen. (It probably won't, but it could.)
For now, The Gifted is no more at Fox, and the network also pulled the plug on the freshman comedy series REL, whose co-creator Kevin Barnett died back in January. Thankfully, there are still lots of good TV options coming to the summer primetime schedule, so be sure to stay up-to-date.
Nick is a Cajun Country native, and is often asked why he doesn't sound like that's the case. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.

This does not mean that I do not get sad, frustrated, or even angry, but finding happiness in life is a choice, not a consequence of one's circumstances.
I do not like it when people feel like they cannot tell me about their problems because I "have so much to deal with." I do not think this is true, or fair. Everyone has things they have to deal with. They are just different things. Regardless of whether or not they are overtly apparent to an outsider looking in does not make my problems more important than anyone else's.
Dealing with the challenges life has given me is not really about the challenges, but rather about the choices I make. J.R.R. Tolkien captures this better in The Lord of the Rings. On his journey to Rivendell, Frodo says, "I wish it need not have happened in my time."
"So do I," replies Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that has been given to us."
There is a far deeper meaning than I will discuss at present, but since my accident I have attempted to live my life with this in mind. And upon reflection, I have lived a very full life.
Each day, I choose to make the most of the time that I have because I may not have as much time as most. This does not mean that I do not get sad, frustrated, or even angry, but finding happiness in life is a choice, not a consequence of one's circumstances. To be completely honest, I cannot even regret the bad things that have happened to me, or wish it away as Frodo did, because I have come to my present as a result of everything that has happened in my past.
I have met many incredible people and done amazing things as a direct result of my accident. Without the bad, I would have missed out on so much more good. I have become a better person and lived a better life because of all that has come to pass.

This game is barely worth writing about. 17-0 NE at the half. 30-0 going into the 4th-quarter…and it wasn't that close. It was obviously bad enough that Jack Del Rio fired his defensive coordinator…something he should have done last season. Del Rio is living on borrowed time. There is a defensive player rebellion, those loyal to the old D-C…so this team could really fold now.
This game got me thinking – last year everyone swore that Derek Carr was the future and the Raiders were soon-to-be Super Bowl contenders. Look at them now. Nothing's really changed personnel-wise, per se…except they suck this year. The lesson – sometimes mediocre NFL teams can get on a roll…the right schedule, playing opponents at a certain time (they have a key injury, etc.), a referee's call goes your way, a fumble or tipped pass lands right and turns a game. There are a lot of 8-8 teams roaming around the NFL, and they spike up an down on favorable circumstances and a little luck.
So, when I bailed on the Raiders after their hot start last year…and didn't like them this year back to the preseason – I was right (today). That's why it's healthy to be a skeptic on Philadelphia or Minnesota, for me (for some, the Rams and Jags). The NFL is a murder mystery to be dissected and interpreted. It's not black and white. There are several false leads. Hot and cold streaks are a way of life in the NFL.
Only one team has won its division three years in-a-row – the New England Patriots. Only one team will be able to claim that again after this season…the New England Patriots, assuming they win the division this year (insert chuckle here). If they do win it this season it will be the 9th time in a row. How unbelievable is that in this era? It will be the 14th division title in 15 seasons (the Matt Cassel year as the outlier…they finished 11-5 and in 2nd place).
The Raiders are 'committed to excellence', but it's just a meaningless punchline. The Patriots are real, 'sustained excellence'. The 'real' excellent team dismantled the fake 'committed to excellence' one in this game.
How could you bet against the Patriots winning the Super Bowl again this season?
Fantasy Player Notes…
-- High hopes for Rex Burkhead (5-16-0, 4-21-0/6) coming into this game, as it seemed he was wresting control of the backfield, in a sense, away to be more of the main guy when it mattered – goal line and passing game. He had a fumble early and left the game for a stretch on 'punishment'.
Rex still led the RBs with 6 targets in this game, giving him 5.3 per game the past three games. He's a for sure RB3 each week with RB 1-2 upside if he pops a TD.
-- Rob Gronkowski (3-37-0/3) has become 'disappointing' the past 4 games…3.8 rec., 54.5 yards, 0.25 TDs per game the past 4 games. He's fallen behind Travis Kelce in PPR PPG this season and is just 0.1 PPG ahead of Zach Ertz. He's not having a bad season, but he's not the top TE and his numbers are sagging of late.
They haven't needed him, and they should rest him to keep him safe for the playoffs.
We think Gronk is a TD monster by he only has 5 TDs this season…on pace for 8 TDs this season. Not the Gronk we've come to expect, no?
He's due for a 2 TD game…
-- The Patriots DST is back in play after a very rocky start to 2017. I've pointed this out a few times this past week so no reason to re-harp on it. The only thing to mention is – I think the Pats DST goes as far as Stephon Gilmore is healthy -- if he goes down or is out this week…not as a solid a DST play.
Check out the Patriots yards allowed in games (net) this season, starting with Week 1: 537-429-417-444-409-408-343-349-339-344. You can see the improvements and adjustments happening every week. Points allowed in games, starting with Week 1: 42-20-33-33-14-17-7-13-16-8.
-- Brandin Cooks (6-149-1/9) continues to heat up, per my instructions to him.
In his last 8 games, Cooks has averaged: 11.3 FF PPG (16.3 PPR) on 5.0 rec., 82.7 yards, 0.50 TDs per game. He's #10 in PPR PPG YTD, top 7 the past 8 games. He's #6 in nonPPR PPG YTD, top 6 in the past 8 games.
This is only getting better as the chemistry between he and Brady has been visible for several weeks, and the output keeps inching higher. Two games each against MIA and BUF in the next 5 games isn't going to hurt either.
-- Amari Cooper (3-28-1/7) had that crazy game vs. KC with 201 yards and 2 TDs. In his other 9 games this season, Cooper is averaging: 4.5 FF PPG (7.8 PPR) on 3.3 rec., 32.1 yards, 0.22 TDs per game.
Likely the same coach and QB combo next season. What's going to turn this around for Amari? A trade away…I have a feeling. A trade to New England.

$196,000 will buy you this Group N Subaru rally car from British motorsport specialists, Prodrive.
The Impreza N2010 uses the new larger 33mm air restrictor, introduced by the FIA to help balance the performance of Group N and the unrestricted Super2000 rally cars. Increasing the restrictor diameter from 32 to 33mm, fitting high flow fuel injectors and recalibrating the ECU increases peak power by 20 bhp, but more significantly, improves torque and responsiveness throughout the rev range.
The improvements in engine performance have been matched by enhancements to the car's dynamics. The N2010 Ohlins dampers have been revised with extra travel front and rear, while all the suspension bushes have been strengthened.
For the first time Prodrive has introduced a financing option to enable the car to be leased over two years with an option to buy the car at the end of the agreement. The package includes insurance and system rebuilds.

In the midst of all the tragedy, let's not forget it's Pi Day (the perfect time to celebrate irrationality is now, wouldn't you say? And irrational numbers string on endlessly, or should I say forever, which maybe should be some comfort now.)Thanks to Leslie, my best friend from college, for reminding me of this day and sending me the following link. Leslie also reminded me that today is the 132nd anniversary of the birth of Einstein. Yay, Leslie! Yay, Einstein! Yay, pi! Boo, earthquakes, tsunami, and radiation.

And for those who are SERIOUS about pi, my sister Joyanne sent the link to the FULL pi song, if you've got almost five minutes to devote to pi!

Success story of Miruthula – Sivakasi, Viruthunagar
Baby Miruthula means the world to her parents. She is the fourth child of Kalimuthu, a farm worker and his wife, Rajarajeshwari, from Virudhunagar. Though treading in rough weather, the family were elated to bring her home. However, little did they know then, that their joy would be short-lived.
Miruthula was in her sixth month when her parents realized she wasn't eating or growing normally. Concerned, they took her to a doctor who referred them to a hospital in Virudhunagar. Miruthula was diagnosed with CHD and required surgery. However, with their struggling finances, an immediate surgery was out of the question. Kalimuthu and Rajarajeshwari were completely heartbroken, their daughter was ill and they were helpless.
It was around this time that they came to know about the foundation and the family found the ray of hope they were looking for. Miruthula underwent a successful surgery. After a long struggle, Kalimuthu and Rajarajeshwari have finally found a reason to smile. Their kids are looking forward to play with their little sister who was too ill for anything all this time. Since the surgery was done in time, Miruthula can now look forward to a healthy and happy adult life.

The production of fire doors to the entire project will run through 2016 and partly into 2017. This frame agreement and the option for deliveries to the projects Johan Sverdrup phase II, Johan Castberg, Snorre 2040 and Peregrino is one of the largest contracts in the company's history. Now the production has been started and it will ensure good capacity utilization at Rapp Bomek for many months. "This agreement is very important for Rapp Bomek as the company consolidates its position as a world leader in the global oil and gas market for fire doors. In a market which for a long period now has experienced reduced investment rate the contract is also important for employment in Rapp Bomek. We are very proud to have got this assignment from Statoil and we will ensure that the project is going to be delivered with customary high Rapp Bomek quality on time" says CEO Terje Bøe. A part of Rapp Bomek´s production team (Pictures: Rapp Bomek) A new adventure on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) Johan Sverdrup field is located only 155 km west from Stavanger and it is one of the five biggest oil fields on the Norwegian continental shelf. With expected resources of between 1.7 – 3.0 billion barrels of oil equivalent, it will also be one of the most important industrial projects in Norway over the next 50 years. Peak production on Johan Sverdrup will be equivalent to 25% of all Norwegian petroleum production. (Source: Statoil)

Within the view of Lone Cone Peak, the Rocking R Ranch is perfectly positioned to fulfill a hunter's dream. Between the Rocking R Ranch and additional privately leased lands, there are 6700 acres of prime habitat for Southwest Colorado's famous big game populations. In addition, much of the Rocking R borders National Forest that is almost untouchable by the public. This combination of habitat and private access is the dream combo for hunters who desire to have a chance for a monster elk, buck or bear.
A wide variety of vegetation creates attractive habitat for wild game. Gambrel oaks, ponderosa pines, and cottonwood bottoms grow in the lower parts of the ranch. Higher elevations transition to aspen groves and pine forests, creating prime breeding grounds for elk and deer during the rut. Big game herds are also drawn to the ranch by the many water features, which include ponds, streams and springs.
The elk and deer are prevalent on the Rocking R throughout the summer, fall, and early winter until the deep snows drive them off. The ranch is also home to many black bears, turkeys and blue grouse, expanding the hunting opportunities even further.
For more than 20 years, the Rocking R's wildlife has been professionally managed, and the placement of many types of hunting blinds have been constructed and positioned to maximize a hunter's chance at taking a quality animal.
There are many options available to individuals or groups of hunters. Professional guides will work hard to make your hunt as rewarding as possible. Hunters of any experience level are welcome at the Rocking R Ranch.
The amenities of the Rocking R Ranch are extremely comfortable and a welcome retreat for hunters returning from a day spent in the elements. The lodge can accommodate twenty to thirty hunters comfortably in its 4000 square foot, seven-bedroom, seven-bath lodge. The food is first class and breakfast, lunch, and dinner are prepared by the on-site cook, and served in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The front and back porches of the lodge offer incredible views where one can kick back and plan the next day's adventures or swap stories about the day's hunt.
The hunts offered include a professional guide for each pair of hunters. Your guide will have scouted out the best possible scenarios for your type of hunt and will work hare to make them a success. The guide will also clean your animal and hang it in the ranch's cold room, assuring the best treatment of your meat. Processors and taxidermists can be recommended, but are the responsibility of the hunter.
Hunters typically arrive the evening before their hunt and leave the morning after, giving clients five full days in between to hunt and explore the ranch. Bear and turkey hunting is also extremely good and can be done alone or in combination with other hunts depending on the timing of seasons. Local fishing holes can also round out a sportsman's trip offering the opportunity to sample everything Colorado has to offer.
Elk, mule deer and bear hunts are broken into the various seasons, archery, muzzleloader and rifle. Each season has unique benefits and hunters should contact the pros at the Rocking R to learn what is available. Their guides can recommend the best plan of action to make your dream hunt a reality.
You should check out the Rocking R Ranch website and see the latest trail cam uploads. These are not pictures of trophies gone by, but actual pictures of the game that is still out there waiting for you.
The proximity of the ranch to Norwood, a typical small Colorado town, offers basic amenities within 14 miles. The ski resort area of Telluride is only 45 minutes away and offers skiing, restaurants and shops.
The lodge is located far enough away to feel remote, without being too remote.
So plan your next hunt to the Rocking R Ranch and make the most of your precious days off. A hunting trip is a great way to bond with family or team build with the company. Either way the Rocking R Ranch is an experience you will never forget.

Though astronomers and physicists have studied and marveled at neutron stars for decades where just a single sugar-cube worth of neutron-star material would weigh 100 million tons here on Earth, or about the same as the entire human population, many mysteries remain about the nature of their interiors: Do crushed neutrons become "superfluid" and flow freely? Do they break down into a soup of subatomic quarks or other exotic particles? What is the tipping point when gravity wins out over matter and forms a black hole?
Unanswered questions about neutron stars
A team of astronomers using the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Green Bank Telescope (GBT) has brought us closer to finding the answers to these unanswered questions about neutron stars – the compressed remains of massive stars gone supernova – the densest "normal" objects in the known universe. (Black holes are technically denser, but far from normal.) .
The researchers, members of the NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Center, discovered that a rapidly rotating millisecond pulsar in a binary star system, called J0740+6620, is the most massive neutron star ever measured, packing 2.17 times the mass of our Sun into a sphere only 30 kilometers across. This measurement approaches the limits of how massive and compact a single object can become without crushing itself down into a black hole. Recent work involving gravitational waves observed from colliding neutron stars by LIGO suggests that 2.17 solar masses might be very near that limit.
"Neutron stars are as mysterious as they are fascinating," said Thankful Cromartie, at the University of Virginia and Grote Reber pre-doctoral fellow at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. "These city-sized objects are essentially ginormous atomic nuclei. They are so massive that their interiors take on weird properties. Finding the maximum mass that physics and nature will allow can teach us a great deal about this otherwise inaccessible realm in astrophysics."
Pulsars (image at top of page) get their name because of the twin beams of radio waves they emit from their magnetic poles. These beams sweep across space in a lighthouse-like fashion. Some rotate hundreds of times each second. Since pulsars spin with such phenomenal speed and regularity, astronomers can use them as the cosmic equivalent of atomic clocks. Such precise timekeeping helps astronomers study the nature of spacetime, measure the masses of stellar objects, and improve their understanding of general relativity.
In the case of this binary system, which is nearly edge-on in relation to Earth, this cosmic precision provided a pathway for astronomers to calculate the mass of the two stars.
The Shapiro Delay
As the ticking pulsar passes behind its white dwarf binary companion, there is a subtle (on the order of 10 millionths of a second) delay in the arrival time of the signals. This phenomenon is known as "Shapiro Delay." In essence, gravity from the white dwarf star slightly warps the space surrounding it, in accordance with Einstein's general theory of relativity. This warping means the pulses from the rotating neutron star have to travel just a little bit farther as they wend their way around the distortions of spacetime caused by the white dwarf.
"Very Weird, Very Extreme Life?" — Exoplanets of Neutron Stars
Astronomers can use the amount of that delay to calculate the mass of the white dwarf. Once the mass of one of the co-orbiting bodies is known, it is a relatively straightforward process to accurately determine the mass of the other.
Mindboggling Densities
"The orientation of this binary star system created a fantastic cosmic laboratory," said Scott Ransom, an astronomer at NRAO and coauthor on the paper. "Neutron stars have this tipping point where their interior densities get so extreme that the force of gravity overwhelms even the ability of neutrons to resist further collapse. Each "most massive" neutron star we find brings us closer to identifying that tipping point and helping us to understand the physics of matter at these mindboggling densities."

If you're running OS X Lion or above, an easy approach to see some quick information about your Mac's hardware is by selecting "About This Mac" from the Apple menu and then clicking on the "More Information" button. Doing so will open Apple's System Information tool which can be used to generate a detailed system report. By default, this window will show a brief summary window, which will include a breakdown of storage usage. This is available in the "Storage" tab.
This storage view shows a small chart that breaks down the amount of space used by various audio files, movies, photos, backups, etc. However, sometimes the numbers shown in this window may be incorrect. For example, we've seen systems that report 0KB for audio files, even when there were about 100 files present on that particular device.
This issue is simply a result of an incorrect indexing of your hard drive and does represent the true contents of your system. In order for the utility to properly report the space usage, it needs to have a properly built and enabled Spotlight index.
1. Make Sure Spotlight Is On and Indexing Is Enabled
First you need to make sure that Spotlight is enabled for your system. To do this:
1. Open Terminal on your OS X system, and enter the following command:
mdutil -s /
If the result of this command shows "Indexing disabled," then enable Spotlight by running the following command:
sudo mdutil -i on /
Note: You'll need an administrator password for sudo commands.
2. Reindex Your Mac's Hard Drive
The next step is to have the system reindex the hard drive, which can be done in two ways:
Reindex Your Hard Drive Using Spotlight's Preferences
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Locate and click on "Spotlight".
3. Click on the "Plus" icon in the Privacy tab.
4. Select your Mac's hard drive from the left-hand pane. By default, it will be named as "Macintosh HD."
5. Now, click on the "Minus" button to remove the entry you just made.
After doing so, Spotlight will start to reindex your hard drive.
Reindex Your Mac's Hard Drive Using Terminal
Alternatively, you can open up Terminal and enter in the following command to force OS X to clear the index and cause the system to rebuild it from scratch:
sudo mdutil -E /
Once you've done this, you'll see the indexing progress bar appear in the Spotlight menu. This may take minutes to hours depending on your system, but once it's done, the system information utility should properly report file sizes.
Were you facing this issue too? Did the above fix work for you? Be sure to tell us in the comments below.

We all know that in WoW most of the characters have many spells and abilities that they can use both in and out of combat and some of those spells are more powerful than others, but in the WoW lore, spells work a little differently. Most of them are a lot harder to cast and require special items to be cast successfully. There are also some spells in WoW lore which are so powerful that they belong on an entirely different scale so today we will be going over five of the most powerful spells in WoW lore.
5. Vortex in Darkshore
When the ravaging events of Cataclysm occurred, one of the many zones that suffered significant damage was Darkshore. In fact, Darkshore was the zone that was hit the hardest, so much so that it was going to break apart from the mainland. Luckily, the archdruid Malfurion stepped into the center of all the calamity in an effort to save the land. Malfurion used his druidic powers to conjure a huge tornado in order to hold the landmass together and stop it from drifting into the sea.
4. Water Elementals
The Focusing Iris is an ancient artifact that belonged to the Blue Dragonflight which was later stolen by the Horde and turned into a mana bomb which was dropped on Theramore city and it was completely annihilated. Since Jaina Proudmoore ruled over Theramore, she wanted to take revenge on the Horde. After locating the Iris, she turned to ancient books of magic and created a spell which could summon thousands of water elementals and could combine them into a huge tidal wave which she wanted to unleash on the city of Orgrimmar. Luckily, she decided not to go through with this plan.
3. Destruction Azsuna
Azsuna was once a very important part of the empire of Night Elves. Prince Farondis ruled over his kingdom from these lands and he was one of the advisors whom Queen Azshara held in very high regard. Farondis noticed that the Queen was being manipulated by the demon Sargeras and he had decided to put a stop to it by destroying the Well of Eternity. Farnodis was betrayed, and the Queen decided to punish him by casting a spell so powerful that it not only destroyed the Prince and his palace but the entire zone of Azsuna, all of the Prince's followers and cast all of them into a fate of eternal suffering by forcing them to live forever as spirits, never being able to reach true peace.
2. Destruction of Dalaran
The city of Dalaran has been the center of magic for thousands of years, and many great mages and wizards studied there and honed their skills, however, even with all those powerful wizards residing there, the city wasn't able to withstand the demonic magic that was cast upon it. During the Third War, the evil lich Kel'Thuzad found a way to summon a powerful demon to Azeroth called Archimonde. After arriving in Azeroth, Archimonde made a model of Dalarn City in the sand and then proceeded to crush the model with his hands which in turn made the real city crumble which lead to many deaths.
1. Destruction of Nathreza
Natherza is the homeworld of the race of Dreadlords, otherwise known as Nathrezim. Before the heroes invaded the continent of Outland, Illidan Stormrage decided to invade the homeworld of the Dreadlords. Thanks to his skilled Illidari, he was able to dispatch of the demons and gain access to the Seal of Argus. Afterward, Illidan had decided to close the portal predicting that it would have the same effect on their world as the shattering of Draenor. It turned out that he was right and the world of Nathreza blew up taking the lives of many demons and since the world was located inside of the Twisting Nether, all of the deaths were permanent which dealt a huge blow to the Burning Legion.

Record high temperature expected Sunday before winter returns
Winter-like weather to arrive by end of week
LANSING — A record high temperature is expected in Lansing on Sunday. However, residents should be prepared for the arrival of winter-like weather later in the week.
The National Weather Service office in Grand Rapids has predicted a high temperature in the low to mid 60s for Sunday. That would eclipse the current record of 56 degrees set in 1975.
"A warm front will be moving through the area and that will raise the temperatures into the 60s," said Ernie Ostuno, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Ostuno said rain showers will move through the area Sunday night and into Monday, bringing some strong winds as well.
"You may see wind gusts between 30 to 35 mph on Monday," Ostuno said.
However the major change comes at the end of the week. A cold front is expected to pass through the area, bringing a 30-degree difference in temperatures and snow on Thursday and Friday.
"We are forecasting one to two inches of snow and high temperatures in the 20s or low 30s," Ostuno said.
The snowy weather will be accompanied by wind gusts in the 20 to 25 mph range.
"The end of the week is when winter makes a dramatic return," Ostuno said.
Ostuno said the normal high temperature in Lansing for this time of year is 36 degrees with lows around 23 degrees.
