Between Dimension 20 Live My Chemical Romance and the Terrible Influence Tour I'm getting the sense that people online do not understand how touring works and will get very very angry about things that artists actually can't control.

We made it! Day 30 of @taznovembercelebration which means I've written 30 fics in 30 days and had an absolute blast. Thank you to @ceilingfan5 for all of their hard work in organising taznc. I've had the best time rolling in the taznc tags.

Today's prompt was "three" and then I clicked until I got an AU which was "superhero". You can read below or on Ao3. Missed yesterday's? Catch up here!

Kravitz feels like he lives in the staff canteen now. He’s used to the ebb and flow of it, has managed to time his day around it. He makes sure he’s there to cover the stand at breakfast time, gets on with work until mid morning, and then sets up is ‘ask me anything’ sign again at lunch time. There’s no point in standing and smiling through the afternoon, no one’s really around. There’s three times a day, three chances to talk to people about what Kravitz could do for them, and three chances to get snubbed repeatedly and relentlessly.

The free pens had helped, but they’d cleaned him out pretty fast and no one had actually joined up. No one had even really made eye contact. He understood they were busy, a superheroes work is never done, yada yada yada, but that was exactly why unions were important. He and Sloane had worked really hard on the sidekick down time requirements, they shouldn’t be doing day shifts into nights without a proper break between and they definitely shouldn’t be working more than 40 hours a week - especially not fresh out of training. Supers shouldn’t really be doing it either, but there was a whole mess around ‘vocation’ and ‘voluntary’ roles which he and Sloane were still knee deep in resolving. It would help if the membership was representative and not just a few supers who joined up because their parents had always been members.

Kravitz cracks out a box of stress octopodes. There had been a slight issue with the stress ball order (he actually intended to get oranges), but the tentacles were comforting to squidge. Maybe that’d lure some people in for him, or, one specific person. A tall guy with a long blonde braid and seemingly never ending layers of clothes (maybe his super power was pockets?) had been eyeing Kravitz appreciatively all week. Well, he thought so… maybe that was conceited? The man might just be admiring Kravitz’s impeccable taste in tailoring… the attention had certainly encouraged him to dress more elaborately as the week went on. But he wanted to believe it was an interest in him, not just the way he was packaged.

Kravitz was hoping this was the day he’d finally be able to lure him in, the guy didn’t seem bothered by the pens. On Tuesday Kravitz had smiled when he caught the guy’s eye, but he just winked and then turned away before Kravitz could do anything else… Which was probably for the best because Kravitz had really only planned that far anyway. Your move, mystery man. On Wednesday he was fairly sure there was a little bit of flirting, the man came and took a card, but he took it realllllly slow. He wasn’t here yet today, but he tended to show up for the mid-morning coffee rush so Kravitz wasn’t worried. Any minute now. Sometimes he had company but mostly he was on his own (and seemed relieved about it.)

“Interesting choice of stress relief.”

Kravitz wishes he could say he didn’t jump, but he did. The fucking display board with all the union benefits blocked his view so whoever it was snuck up on him.

“Feel free to take one.” He puts a smile on and leans round the board to see the man. Ha! He knew a better freebie would do it.

“Nah, Taako’s good.” Says the man, drawing three into his rainbow cardigan so quickly Kravitz can almost believe he didn’t see it happen.

He’s wearing a ridiculous hat today, definitely not approved uniform. It doesn’t have any protective properties as far as Kravitz can see. The rest of his outfit isn’t much better, sleeves which are long and prime for catching on obstacles, and the many layers would be simple to grab and restrict his movement with.

“Okay.” Kravitz says, instead of lecturing him about theft or uniform code. Kravitz is cool, he’s hip, he’s sexy. He can break rules, he can take more than the one per-person approved freebie.

“So, what’s your handle, bones?”

“Bones?”

“Are you asking me why I’m calling that, or confused about your own name?”

“Kravitz.”

“That’s not a reply to either of the questions Taako asked you.”

“Sorry… I…” Shit, he’s fucking this up. He can pull it back round. “Question one, my name… er, handle…” He regrets it immediately, slang always sounds weird coming out of his mouth, cool people like Taako can tell he’s not made for it, he powers on anyway. “...is Kravitz. Question 2, where did bones come from?” Kravitz wants to know so he can make everyone else call him that too. His Mums use Kravitz without fail and Sloane alternates between Krav and ‘oi dickhead’, so this was nice.

“Nice to meet you Kravitz.” Kravitz starts to offer Taako his hand to shake. “But why the fuck are you here?”

Oh. He didn’t anticipate this. Kravitz’s hand drops limply back to his side. He belatedly tries to pretend he was stretching and watches Taako’s mouth twitch. Thankfully he controls the impulse to laugh because Kravitz is fairly sure he’ll melt into a puddle if Taako laughs at him right now. He’s doing such a bad job of marketing the union that his presence is being questioned and he’s not exactly known for responding well to criticism of his performance.

“Union stuff.” He says, just about keeping his voice even.

“You’d have more luck next door.” Taako indicates his head.

“What?”

“Well no one here cares.”

“You don’t care?” Kravitz desperately wanted Taako to care.

“Oh no, Taako cares.” Taako provides another lingering look. “Taako is very invested in you.” There’s a pause. “...r union.”

“Are you a member?” Kravitz perks up. Maybe he can get another sign up. Maybe Taako will tell his friends and they’ll join too?

“Taako isn’t really here.”

“Uh…” Kravitz isn’t really sure how to break the news that he very much is. How could he steal an unfair amount of free stuff if he wasn’t? “You, you are actually here though… you know?” Before he can consider how inappropriate it is he reaches out and prods Taako’s arm. “See.” Fuck. That probably wasn’t a great sales technique.

Taako’s looking at him like he’s lost his grip on reality. Is he hallucinating? Did he get bored enough that he just invented a man to look at? Is he currently talking to himself in public?

“No, Taako’s not here if you get my drift.” Taako raises an eyebrow and looks very intently at Kravitz like he should be able to make sense of it.

Kravitz can’t.

“Oh, I see.” He says and nods sagely. Because admitting that he doesn’t know something is physically painful for him. He’s working on it, it’s fine.

“Good, I knew you were cool. Come on then.” Taako gestures for Kravitz to follow him.

Kravitz does, nothing’s going on here anyway, he can’t bear to overhear Captain Neverwinter banging on about politics again either. It makes him feel slightly murdery. It’s fine. He's working on that too. He’ll probably figure out what Taako meant from context clues, plus, if he gets new sign ups then Sloane won’t even pretend to be angry about him leaving his post.

Taako strides down the hallway, Kravitz is grateful that his long legs help him keep pace. He and Sloane aren’t allowed to come this way, the front entrance is only for the big name heroes, so they just use the lift in the staff entrance when they run the promotional events. He concentrates on keeping his head down and keeping up, he’s not entirely sure he’s authorised to be here.

“Taako was pretty sure you’d be game, so cha’boy got you approved for next week. It’ll be better than the snoozefest over that side.”

Maybe there was a second canteen where all the hip young heroes who cared about workers’ rights hung out.

“Here we go!” Taako turns down a dimly lit corridor. The lights flicker ominously.

“This one?” Kravitz asks tentatively. There was probably some kind of form someone needed to fill out about this.

“Natch.” Taako says and offers his hand. “I’ll hold your hand if you’re scared.”

Kravitz definitely isn’t scared, he grabs hold anyway.

Taako’s warm and comforting and rubs a steady thumb across his knuckles. It’s nice, soothing. Kravitz could get used to this.

They reach a door all too quickly, but Taako doesn’t let go, he just scans his pass, then there’s a thumb print, retinal scan, and some kind of situation where he whispers into a box. Kravitz isn’t trying to keep track, he’s too busy trying to work out if this means Taako’s important, like really really important. Is Kravitz being taken to the management corridor or something? Shit… maybe they didn’t have permission to be there that week? Sloane said she did the paperwork, but maybe there’s been a mix up? Kravitz can’t be in trouble, he’s not emotionally robust enough to handle a disciplinary meeting without getting bitchy. Sloane’s warned him plenty of times.

On the other side of the door everything’s different. It seals quietly behind them, just a series of hisses and clicks letting Kravitz know that he definitely won’t be able to turn round and go back the way he came, which he should do, because apparently Taako’s somehow taken them to the supervillain lair? On purpose? He had the pass… Shit.

“Are you bad!?” Kravitz blurts out.

“Is this a roleplay thing? Taako didn’t think we were there yet, but I can be a bad, bad boy if that’s what you need?” Taako looks excited enough that Kravitz feels bad delivering the follow up.

“No, evil-bad!”

“Well I’m not a super, am I?” Taako barks out a single laugh as if the notion was ridiculous.

“What? You were in the canteen!”

“There’s no way cha’boy could be that conceited. It takes too much effort. Taako was just scoping the coffee situation, then he found something nice enough to look at that it kept cha’boy coming back for more.” Taako looks pointedly at Kravitz.

“But… I didn’t recognise you!” Taako can’t be a supervillain, Kravitz would have seen wanted posters, he would have seen him on the news, like Kreigan, Queen Quynh, or Dr Diomed. There was wanted posters for them everywhere!

“Well I’m not exactly going to do crime dressed as myself and visible am I?”

Huh. Kravitz had always wondered why some of them didn’t disguise themselves. “No… I guess that makes a lot of sense.”

“Anyway, this isn’t regulation, imagine the shit these sleeves would get snagged on?”

Taako has never been sexier.

“And the way someone could grab…”

“... my cardigans if I was turned away.” Taako finishes. Because he’s perfect.

“Uh huh.” Is about all Kravitz can manage because he’s busy staring at Taako with what is probably undisguised lust.

“Cha’boy’s all about health and safety.” Taako continues. “My mask is fun and functional.” His voice is dropping, getting richer, low and sultry.

“It’s important.” Kravitz nods to reinforce his point and swallows thickly.

“Anyway.” Taako starts as he sees something over Kravitz’s shoulder, then spins and lets go of Kravitz’s hand in one move. “Here’s the canteen.” He chivvies Kravitz into a large room full of rustic looking wooden furniture.

“Taako!” A tall man and a shorter grizzled one barrel through the door behind them, panting slightly as if they’ve been running. “Is this the guy from the shit canteen?”

“Taako has no idea who you’re talking about.”

“You know, the hot one… uh… what was he called… er… Kravitz!” says the tall guy.

“The Kravitz you’ve been talking about all week?” Adds the shorter man.

Oh, interesting. Taako has mentioned him! There’s no need for anyone to know how many times he may have talked about Taako this week in exchange. Sloane definitely hadn’t started a Taako jar to fund their monthly food truck foray. This definitely makes it slightly less embarrassing.

“Taako has never said anything to anybody in his life, now scram, this is business.”

“Hi, I’m Magnus Burnsides!” The tall man says and shakes Kravitz’s hand heartily. Not evilly. Interesting.

“The name’s Hightower. Merle Hightower.”

“No, it’s Highchurch.” Cuts in Magnus.

“Ssssh, I was using my alias.” Merle hisses back.

“We all have downsides to jobs we love.” Taako says. “And these are mine. Anyway, moving on!” Taako grabs Kravitz’s hand again and pulls him away from the others.

“Oooooh, they’re holding hands!” Says Magnus and raises his phone up. “Smile!” He yells.

Kravitz does, because he’s nothing if not good at following direction… well, most of the time.

“Lup’s gonna love this.” Magnus says happily.

“Can you fuck off now?” Taako asks.

“We’re nowhere near you!” Merle reaches out his stubby arms and waves them around. “See!”

Taako looks like he might implode. He turns to Kravitz. “Do you wanna go talk somewhere more private?”

“Oooooh! Talking.” Magnus sing songs, then taps away at his phone some more.

“Okay.” Kravitz says, he definitely isn’t opposed to being alone with Taako, although he’d also like to thoroughly quiz the others about exactly what Taako has said about him and whether it was good. It probably wouldn’t look good to throw Magnus his card.

“Taakitz! That’s the ship name for them. Magnus, tell Lup!” Merle tugs Magnus’ arm excitedly.

“On it!”

Taako’s mouth is slowly disappearing into a thin line. “We’ll go to my office.”

Kravitz lets himself be tugged along. He doesn’t care about which direction they’re going, he just wants to ruminate on the fact Taako talked about him. Taako talked about him a lot!

“Okay handsome, let’s get the important thing out of the way, do you wanna bone down with Taako?”

Kravitz very much does want to bone down with Taako. First he’d like some more time to take in the abject horror of his office because it shouldn’t be possible to get this many things in this small a space or for all of them to be different colours, but he manages it. The couch does, however, look very comfortable. Well padded arms. “Yes.”

“Excellent. Point b, 2? Did I do some kind of number or letter system? Fuck it, it doesn’t matter. Villains are a better market for union stuff. Hench people need caring for and most people consider it, we’re not monsters, well, morally, but some of us could be better. Plus, the training programmes can be brutal and we need someone fighting our corner. Frankly, it’s long overdue.”

“Oh.” Says Kravitz, because he’s not sure why he didn’t think of this himself.

“Yeah. Exactly. Plus, I hear that when you join you get great deals on contents insurance and with the way the supers keep smashing up our fucking lairs we need it.”

“You do, we have a 42% off deal with Abvgal, but you can also get some cash back if you switch your premium mid-year and trust me, it’s usually worth it. Their staff are great, you can just use the summoning sigil and someone will get back to you super fast, you talk face and face and they can survey the damage there and then.”

Taako nods approvingly.

“Plus, the one everyone forgets, you get 15% off at Paloma’s.” Kravitz adds conspiratorially.

“As in Paloma’s with the scones?”

“As in Paloma’s with the scones.” Kravitz nods smugly.

“Well you can sign Taako up right now.”

“I’d love to.”

“Right after we…” Taako crushes his lips against Kravitz’s.

It’s stupid and it’s perfect. He’s going to get a new sign up, he’s going to get laid, he’s going to do something ridiculous like ask Taako to be his boyfriend. Kravitz kisses back, hard, you can’t say something stupid if you can’t speak. He’s a genius.

Kravitz barely registers the fact they’re moving until his knees connect with the sofa and he falls backwards into it, he doesn’t let go of Taako as he goes. It’s probably illegal to do this on the clock, but he technically hasn’t taken lunch all week so it’s fine. The feeling of Taako’s thighs bracketing his and his mouth moving against Kravitz’s is more than enough to convince him that the rules didn’t matter right now.

“Form?” Taako pulls his lips away briefly before Kravitz tugs him back in.

Kravitz pulls Taako closer with one arm, fiddles with his satchel with the other. Taako snakes a hand down to help depress the catch while he pulls it free then does something so sinful with his tongue that Kravitz abandons it completely.

“Pen?” Asks Taako, some time later.

Kravitz takes the opportunity to lick the column of Taako’s throat. The corresponding gasp fills him with pride. He did that. He could do that again. He does.

“Pen” He says, and presses Taako’s hand to his chest pocket.

Taako apparently forgets about the pen, instead, takes his time to run his hand liberally around the area. He squeezes appreciatively.

“Okay, so I just gotta fill this out?”

“Yeah, then we’ll be in touch.”

“I think we’re in touch right now.”

“That was appalling. I should leave right now.”

“You don’t want to though?” Taako asks, and there’s more concern in it than Kravitz would have thought possible. Taako’s some suave villain, he’s probably never not hooking up in his office, Kravitz is just lucky he found a gap in the schedule.

“No.” Kravitz says, and pulls Taako down so that he can kiss him softly, gently, reverently, exactly the way he deserves.

“Name.” Taako says and taps the pen against his lips. Kravitz is never going to be able to look at it again without thinking about this.

“Mmhm.” Kravitz says and nuzzles Taako’s neck as he scribbles.

“Date of birth.”

Kravitz kisses Taako’s collar bone. “Address… trying to angle your way back to my place on the first date, interesting.”

“This is a date?”

“It could be.”

It could be!

“Can we have another one?” Kravitz asks.

“Another first date?”

“Yes, our first date, and then first date’s alias.”

“Sounds good, Taako’s in. You can choose, cha’boy sorted the location for this one.”

It’s the longest anyone has ever taken to fill out a membership form. Kravitz loves every second.

–

The week in the evil canteen is the most productive they’ve ever had, and not just because of the interest in the new man Blink’s been seeing. Their hench policy is set to be ready within the month and they’ve had to order more of the octopode stress tentacles.

Kravitz quite likes the dark side.

would u recommend working w kids? they are so so sillay. also leo being second oldest is very real to me and i love that your vibes for her are summer camp counselor

HI!! that's a complicated question because it really depends on who you are and what your needs are. kids are adorable and hilarious and i find their company extremely fulfilling, but they're also LOUD and EXHAUSTING, and you need to have a certain tolerance for screaming, grabbing, bluntness, and (if you work with toddlers like me) the occasional poopy situation. if you have sensory issues like me, I'd strongly recommend establishing a set time and place to recharge every day, (or even bringing headphones if you're able to) and setting clear boundaries, like "my body needs space right now," "i don't like being touched there, thank you," etc. (which also teaches them consent/setting their own boundaries as a bonus). if you've never really worked with kids before, you might look for opportunities to substitute, or even volunteer at libraries and whatnot to get a sense of how it feels for you. i feel like everyone remembers a teacher from their childhood who just hated their job and made it everyone's problem, so don't be that person. i guess what I'm trying to say is that it's important to put your wellbeing first, or you'll be miserable, and that will rub off on the kids.

personally, i love how kids are naturally curious and blunt. they will just say whatever. and it IS extremely exciting and fulfilling to watch them learn and grow in real time, because they absorb information SO FAST. it's important to be observant and patient and non-judgmental and kind, because they WILL emulate your behavior. every single day I'm delighted and surprised by one of them saying something sweet out of nowhere, supporting or comforting a friend, resolving a conflict on their own, pronouncing a word like CRUSTACEAN that's way beyond their usual reading level, or randomly asking to hold my hand or sit on my lap when they've never done that before....

HOWEVER. do not tell my employers i said this, but I'd eventually like to work with slightly older kids, like 6-8 year olds, because i feel like that's the age range where they've kind of had a chance to develop personalities and hobbies and interests (beyond favorite colors and animals and whathaveyou), and they're starting to learn how to make jokes and insult people but they just go about it in the funniest way possible. and their imaginary games have extended plotlines, and theyll sometimes just decide to write an entire comic book or movie script in an afternoon. and you can actually hold a conversation with them, wheras toddlers will often just lose interest and walk away if they don't immediately grasp something. you also have to be very direct with toddlers, which is something I'm still getting used to just because i really dislike talking down to people of any age or size. like do NOT get me wrong, i LOVE my 3-5 year olds, but i do miss babysitting 8 year olds from time to time. and age is something to consider, again, especially if you're squeamish about bathroom stuff. *shudders and stares off into the distance*

anyways that was probably a way longer answer than you wanted and just a bunch of nonsense words. tl;dr the answer is Yeah. If you want. ❤️

Robot Redux

One of our recurring topics this semester is the use of robots, and how they are being used to replace humans in the workplace. The most common examples have been in QSR—Quick Service Restaurants—which include many of the fast food and fast-casual places people like to patronize. And, as you might recall, there has been public outcry over jobs lost.

This is followed by the predictable response that robots create new jobs in their wake, albeit jobs that require more skills than the mundane ones the robots replace. Don’t you mind the usual mantra of robot-specific benefits, like never calling in sick, not needing a potty or smoke break, working straight through lunch, never joining a union, and never walking out on strike. Those are shining attributes in the eyes of some companies.

Then there’s the announcement by Amazon a few days ago that it will be testing humanoid robots in some of its fulfillment centers. These robots do not have wheels. No, they have legs—and arms—just like humans, and can walk up, down, around, anywhere they need to go. Just like opposable thumbs give humans, and not to mention some of our simian relatives, a huge evolutionary advantage, these robots will be able to grasp and not drop, run and not fall.

I’m sure the folks at Amazon HQ are drooling over the prospects of a rank and file who do everything they are told to do, even if it is by virtue of programming.

Amazon has already gone on the defensive, correctly anticipating the push-back from critics and labor unions. They argue that humans will always be part of the fulfillment process. They’re probably right, but they conveniently dodged the ultimate question, which is: How many net jobs will be lost?

Good question indeed. Amazon went on a hiring spree recently, both before and during COVID. In fact, the firm went from 798,000 employees in 2019 to 1,608,000 in 2021. Last year, they shed 67,000 jobs, which some people took as a sign that Amazon was on its way down. That declaration was made in haste, because it is anything but the truth. Essentially, they had to right-size a bit after their seemingly drunken hiring binge.

Humanoid robots, though, could eliminate more jobs, or at least keep more humans from being hired. As the race continues to heat up over delivery times, these robots—along with drones and drivers revving their engines—could work together to deliver the goods faster than the next guy. That next guy, of course, is Walmart, and if ever there were a retail Dodgers v. Yankees rivalry like baseball of old, this is it.

Sure, as we have noted other times this term, robots have a huge up-front expense. But the benefits start to accrue from Day 1. Well, that’s as long as they work as designed. But those are technical issues, and when they are working flawlessly, they eliminate all of the random quirks and foibles of humans.

It’s not like Amazon hasn’t already deployed robots, because they have a workforce of 750,000 thus far. And while the company swears the new ones will “free up” humans to do other tasks, it does hint that these “other things” will be skilled jobs.

The broader message to the workers everywhere is clear: If you are unskilled labor, your job is in peril. You really could be replaced by a machine, and at any time. Keep beating that union drum, and it could happen sooner than later. Fail to show up and perform consistently, and you’re writing your own pink slip.

Still, in the long run, robots tend to cut costs, as well as resolve a litany of HR issues. It is understandable that companies would look to them as substitutes for humans, especially for tasks that do not require a bright and cheery face. Essentially, any repetitive task that is conducted behind the scenes is a candidate for replacement by robots.

And like one of my students pointed out yesterday in the blog about supermarkets kind of having come full circle a century later with humans picking orders, this is just one more example. But this worker doesn’t talk back when you tell it to work on the weekend.

An experienced company will have encountered different plumbing problems and will thus be able to offer you the best when faced with a particular issue.

Corporations want to profit from the world’s problems – here’s how they can solve them instead

Jagannadha Pawan Tamvada, University of Southampton and Rashedur Chowdhury, University of Essex

There’s a good chance that you would like to see COVID disappear for good. And you may also wish for an end to the war in Ukraine – or any other war for that matter.

But would you feel the same way if you were the head of a big pharmaceutical corporation which has seen a massive surge in profits over the last couple of years? Or if you ran a company which manufactures weapons?

For these industries, a pandemic or a war might be considered a time of clear economic opportunity, when it would make no sense for them to work towards ending a particular illness or conflict. They have no motivation or incentive to do so.

But this creates a serious problem. How does society as a whole tackle major issues when the people with the power to do something are economically motivated to do nothing?

Take COVID for example, and the massive profits made by the pharmaceutical firms which succeeded in coming up with effective vaccines. Arguably the best economic scenario for them is to keep selling booster shots for billions of people around the world for years to come.

Of course, that doesn’t really work for the rest of us. But our research shows why many industries thrive on the fact that problems are more profitable than solutions.

The idea that corporations are not always motivated to seek solutions which are in wider society’s best interests is something we call the “paradox of incentives”. This refers to when corporate structures are more favourably aligned with the world’s biggest problems than with finding answers.

In fact, think of any serious issue facing the world, and there is likely to be a corporation, or a group of powerful people, who benefit from its existence. The paradox of incentives can be seen in everything from the staggering profits of the oil sector as climate change accelerates, to gun lobbies preventing reforms restricting access to weapons, and increasing house prices benefiting property investors and developers over buyers.

Another example is weapon manufacturers, which make astronomical profits during a conflict. Increased demand allows these firms to charge high prices and make more money.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has had a negative economic impact on millions around the world, has led to record profits for some of the biggest corporations in the defence and energy sectors. One of the world’s biggest problems has led to some major profits being made.

The case of COVID

Our research into the actions of big pharma during the pandemic, highlights the negative effects of this approach on society. But it also gave us some hints on how things might be improved.

To begin with, we found that there should be a limit to the rewards given to CEOs and executives who often receive large salaries and bonuses directly tied to a firm’s profits. Such financial incentives motivate leaders to make decisions that generate greater profits for their firms rather than advancing public interest.

If pharmaceutical companies became more open in this way, firms in developing countries would be able to manufacture similar products at significantly lower cost for some of the poorest populations in the world.

At a global level, there should be efforts towards an international agreement (it does occasionally happen) to offer significant rewards to firms which fast-track innovations for a more enduring treatment for COVID.

For while there may be significant benefits for the company which finds a cure (or a one-off vaccine), the overwhelming effect of the paradox of incentives in the pharmaceutical industry means more needs to be done to counter it.

More broadly, to resolve the universal and detrimental impact of this paradox of incentives, an even bigger shake up of capitalism is required. The arms trade needs to be deescalated through global treaties to the point that it no longer exists, while the world’s natural resources should be widely shared and treated as common global assets.

For the time being though, we should at least try and become more aware of how the paradox of incentives affects all of our lives. The next time you test positive for COVID, or despair at the missiles being launched in Ukraine, or worry about your next gas bill, remember that not everyone sees these incidents as problems that need to be fixed. Your problem equals someone else’s profit – and until that changes, the world’s biggest challenges will remain unresolved.

EHR and EMR Development: How to sail through Challenges and craft Intuitive, Compliant Systems 

Today, digital transformation in healthcare is the buzzword; and, Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems are must-haves for healthcare providers embracing digitization. These platforms play a vital role in streamlining patient information and improving care coordination. However, EHR and EMR involve significant challenges ranging from usability issues to stringent compliance requirements. Let’s take a sneak peek into the key roadblocks of creating intuitive and compliant EHR and EMR systems and how to overcome challenges in healthcare software development. 

The Stumbling Blocks of EHR and EMR Software Development and ways to resolve them 

Complex Compliance Regulations 

Healthcare being one of the most regulated industries, any healthcare application must comply with industry standards and data protection laws of the region/s where the app operates. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA in the U.S. and General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR in Europe, are examples of regional privacy laws. Such laws have been designed to safeguard patient data and must be integrated into every healthcare software.  

What are the consequences of not being compliant? 

Healthcare providers not adhering to regulatory compliances are subject to hefty penalties if any data breach takes place. Here’s an example!  

Anthem, one of the largest health insurance companies in the U.S., experienced a massive data breach In February 2015 that exposed the personal data of nearly 79 million people. The breach occurred when cybercriminals gained access to Anthem's IT system through a phishing attack on an employee, allowing them to steal sensitive data over several weeks. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigated the breach under the HIPAA violation. Anthem agreed to a settlement of $16 million with the OCR and had to sign an agreement to implement corrective actions to improve data security and prevent future breaches. Anthem also faced multiple class-action lawsuits from affected individuals, leading to a $115 million settlement in 2017, marking it the largest data breach settlement in history for that time.  

How to mitigate such challenges during health application development? 

Compliance-first approach: Implement security and privacy features like multi-factor authentication, encryption, and secure cloud storage from the onset of development. 

Automated audits: Build automated auditing tools within the system to continuously monitor and log access to patient data, enabling easy compliance checks. 

Regular updates: Stay up-to-date with changing regulations and adapt the system accordingly. 

2. Ensuring Interoperability 

For EHR and EMR systems to be truly effective, they must be interoperable: be able to seamlessly communicate with existing healthcare systems in a medical facility, such as laboratory systems, billing software, and other healthcare providers' EHR/EMR platforms regardless of the platform or software used. Lack of interoperability can lead to fragmented patient data, care delays, and inefficiencies. 

Overcoming the Challenge: 

Open APIs and standards: Leverage open APIs and standardized communication protocols like HL7, FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), and DICOM to facilitate smooth data exchange between different systems. 

Modular architecture: Use a modular approach to allow easy integration with third-party applications and services, ensuring flexibility as healthcare organizations adopt new technologies. 

3. Designing for User Experience 

Healthcare professionals often experience frustration when using poorly designed EHR/EMR systems, which can be counterintuitive and slow. This reduces their productivity, increases the likelihood of errors, and even contributes to burnout. 

Overcoming the Challenge: 

User-centered design: Engage healthcare professionals early in the design phase to understand their workflow and needs. Conduct usability testing to refine interfaces for efficiency and ease of use. 

Streamlined UI: Simplify the user interface by focusing on essential features, minimizing unnecessary clicks, and ensuring quick access to the most-used functions. 

Mobile-first design: Given the rise of mobile devices in healthcare, ensure that your system is mobile-responsive and works seamlessly across different devices. 

4. Data Migration and System Integration 

Healthcare organizations transitioning from paper-based records or older EMR/EHR systems face the challenge of migrating vast amounts of data. Ensuring that this data is correctly transferred, cleaned, and integrated without loss is crucial. 

Overcoming the Challenge: 

Data validation tools: Build validation tools to verify the accuracy and integrity of migrated data, ensuring that essential information like patient history, medications, and test results are preserved. 

Custom migration solutions: Tailor data migration solutions to the specific needs of healthcare organizations, ensuring that legacy systems integrate smoothly with the new system. 

Testing phases: Conduct multiple testing phases during migration to identify and address potential issues before going live. 

5. Maintaining System Scalability and Performance 

As healthcare organizations grow and patient data increases, EHR/EMR systems need to scale while maintaining optimal performance. A sluggish system can disrupt clinical workflows and compromise care quality. 

Overcoming the Challenge: 

Cloud infrastructure: Go for scalable cloud-based infrastructure, allowing the system to handle fluctuating data volumes without compromising performance. 

Load balancing and caching: Implement load balancing and caching mechanisms to manage traffic spikes and ensure that the system remains responsive, even during peak usage periods. 

Ongoing performance audits: Monitor system performance regularly and make necessary adjustments to support scalability. 

6. Facilitating Real-Time Data Access 

Real-time data access is essential in emergency care scenarios, where clinicians need immediate access to patient information to make swift, life-saving decisions. However, balancing the need for rapid data retrieval with the complexity of handling large datasets in HER and EMR systems presents unique challenges. The data needs to be retrieved quickly without sacrificing accuracy or overwhelming the system's resources. To address these challenges, various strategies can be employed to enhance real-time performance. However, achieving real-time performance in EHR/EMR systems while managing large data sets can be challenging.  

Overcoming the Challenge: 

Optimized database management: Use advanced database management techniques, such as indexing and partitioning, to ensure that queries are processed quickly. 

Edge computing: Leverage edge computing to bring data processing closer to the point of care, reducing latency and enabling faster access to critical patient information. 

Efficient algorithms: Implement algorithms optimized for real-time data processing, reducing delays in retrieving and displaying information. 

In a Nutshell 

By prioritizing compliance, interoperability, user experience, data migration, scalability, and real-time access, healthcare providers can create intuitive and compliant EHR and EMR systems. Embracing new technologies and collaborating closely with healthcare experts and experienced software development professionals will ensure that these systems continue to evolve to meet the needs of modern healthcare environments.

Rewrite for humans

Rewrite for humans https://seths.blog/2023/12/rewrite-for-humans/ My building had an elevator problem. The management company sent everyone this note: Please be advised we have been experiencing intermittent issues with the elevator. Our priority is your safety, and we are taking immediate action to address the situation. After a thorough investigation by our electrician, it has been identified that there may be an issue with low voltage affecting the elevator’s performance. The electrician has reported this matter directly to Con Edison and is working collaboratively with them to rectify the situation promptly. Con Edison will not be able to address this issue until sometime next week. Until this matter is resolved, the elevator will be taken out of service. We understand that any disruption in elevator service can be inconvenient, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Your safety is our top priority, and we assure you that we are taking every necessary step to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. I asked ChatGPT to rewrite it for humans. It responded with: We’re fixing the intermittent elevator issues to ensure your safety. Our electrician found a potential low voltage problem affecting the elevator. They’ve informed Con Edison and are working together to solve it quickly. However, Con Edison can only start repairs next week. For safety, we’re shutting down the elevator until it’s fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes and are working fast to resolve it. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. I took it one step further: You have probably noticed that the elevator is broken. The electrician is working with ConEd but they don’t expect it to be fixed until next week. We know it’s a hassle, and thank you for being patient. People don’t write like bureaucrats because it’s easy or fun. They do it because of the mistaken belief that it lets them off the hook.

How to choose the right domain name and hosting service for your business website

You might have decided to avail of website designing in India services for a stunning website. But how thoroughly do you think about your domain name and hosting services? It’s an important decision.

If your website is attractive, your audience will visit it, regardless of your domain name and hosting provider.

Well! Don’t think so…

Your domain and hosting provider is a crucial element of your website. It can make or break the game for you. Hence it’s essential to choose both wisely.

How to choose a good domain name

Focus on the right domain extension (.org, .com, or .net)

While selecting your company's domain name, remember that .com is still the best. It is the easiest extension that everyone remembers.

My advice: Go with .com. If it’s already taken, then choose .net or .org. But if they are also occupied, try to choose a different domain name. And oh! Never try any weird extensions like .club, .pizza, .space, etc.

Brandable over generic

The creative and brandable name of your company is always preferable.

Remember: Your visitors should easily remember your domain name; it is the foundation of your brand.

A brandable domain name is unique, and it defines your company. At the same time, generic domain names are full of keywords and are hard to remember.

It should be easy to type

Look at the top brand names below:

Google, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, CNN….

They all are easy to spell. Your visitors should be able to type domain names without any spelling mistakes. If it takes more than once for a visitor to understand the brand name, it isn’t easy.

The last thing which may happen is your visitors will mistype your domain name and end up on a different website!

Here is an easy tip:

Tell your domain name to 10 different people and ask them to pronounce it. If most of them find the name difficult, you must simplify it.

Avoid Hyphens and numbers.

Hyphens will complicate your domain name. Imagine Facebook written as Face-book. Facebook might not have spread so quickly in that case.

The bottom line is your domain name should be smooth and punchy- hyphens and numbers increase complexity.

Stick with the letters!

Now enough about domain names; let’s move on to the web hosting

How to choose the correct hosting service

When we talk about hosting service, there are five primary considerations, i.e., speed, scalability, security, support, and hosting environment. Let’s discuss them in detail:

Speed

Visitors want a website to load in 2 seconds. Also, Google prefers websites with fast loading times. Although multiple factors affect website loading time, choosing a web hosting provider with enough processing and memory power will support the super fast speed of your website.

Security

Security should come under utmost priority for any web hosting company. Their servers should have strong firewalls to monitor the unusual activity continuously. Your web hosting company should also support SSL certificates to add an extra layer of security. Also, SSL has become vital if you sell or accept payment on your website.

Support

Does your company have resources with technical know-how who can manage the website server properly? If not, your hosting company should handle all such tasks. They should monitor and support your website 24*7 and resolve the outage issues.

Scalability

Check your current website. Will you need additional resources in the future to accommodate more traffic, photos, and videos? If so, look for a hosting provider to manage that expansion.

Web hosting environment

Shared hosting is the least expensive option, which you can choose in case of a low budget. In this hosting, you share the server with other websites. Hence your website performance will be hampered in case of a traffic surge on other websites.

The next option is Virtual private server (VPS) hosting. Your website will be shared with other VPS sites in this hosting, but you will receive your dedicated server portion. Hence the performance of your website will never get affected by the traffic surge on other websites.

One more hosting is the dedicated one. In this, your website will run on a single server. Thus, you will get your dedicated storage space and power and can have complete control of the server.

Are you ready to register for domain and hosting?

It would help if you started considering your company name to buy a domain. Keep the domain name short and simple; choosing the extension .com is better.

While looking for a hosting provider, you must consider security, support, hosting environment, scalability, and speed. You can talk about these five points with your hosting provider to know their capability on them. Finalize your hosting partner based on this.

Further after choosing your domain and hosting partner, you can either create your own website if you have that much knowledge, or can avail of services of a reliable  website design services in India.

In any condition it will help if you know  how much it costs to build or create a website.

Ticket Booths of Montenegro Shipping Lines and other shipping companies to be fully resolved after eliminating all the unlawful fixers -- Dumaguete City Councilor

(via DYGB-FM 91.7mhz's Power91FM Dumaguete / with the Exclusive Reports from Power #6 news reporter Neil Ceriño Rio)

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- Dumaguete City Councilor Franklin "GG" D. Esmeña overjoys and gratitude that the problem of redeeming ferry tickets at the Dumaguete Port had now been resolved by the city's construction of ticket booths at the Park Alley in Brgy. Looc, the said city.

As you might recall that the incident in May 2023 when a fraudulent Ferry Ticket fixer of Montenegro Shipping Lines Inc. (MSLi) potentially fired a female employee due to a direct violation of Republic Act #11032: Section 4e or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018, which prohibits fixers from engaging in any transaction on behalf of a government agency or a private entity.

Unlawful fixers of MSLi are to be turned over to a local police at the Dumaguete City Police Station (DCPS), Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office (NOPPO) and other authorities in relation to the Anti-Red Tape law.

Workers of construction in some ticketing booths of MSLi and other shipping companies like FastCat at the said Port Area are recently working closely to solve the issue to illegal fixers, scammers and fraudulent purchase of tickets: "I would like to congratulate the Executive Department for looking into this consideration. This is a perennial complaint of local and foreign travelers who come here to Dumaguete City and the neighboring island provinces of Siquijor, Bohol and some selected areas in Mindanao", Esmeña said in Cebuano dialect.

Per accordance of City Councilor Esmeña, he has conveyed a great joy of accomplishments, based from several experiences and a whole lot of queue lines: "In that aspect, we can be sure that our income will increase significantly for reasonable convenient and efficient ticketing shipping outlets. This is a very good development and I want to congratulate our E.D. for the able internship of Mayor Felipe Antonio 'Ipe' Buscato Remollo for the fast tracking of this request of our locals. And again, I would like to congratulate the Traffic Management Office for seeing a perennial problem of our trucks-de-carga going to Mindanao and other places. In our city of Gentle People, there is a healthy flow of traffic in our community", he said.

As everything else flows smoothly to purchase ferry tickets of MSLi and among others, transportation officials and workforce will resume as normal.
