What Makes Apps For Doctors Essential in Modern Healthcare?

Modern healthcare has seen technology play a crucial role in reshaping patient care. A notable advancement in this field is the development and adoption of app-based scheduling systems for doctors. These innovative platforms have streamlined the appointment booking process, offering increased efficiency and convenience to both medical professionals and patients.

Apps for Doctors truly revolutionize scheduling for medical professionals. These digital tools streamline appointment bookings, freeing up valuable time for doctors to prioritize patient care over administrative tasks. By automating scheduling, these apps enable doctors to dedicate their energy to providing exceptional medical services. Additionally, these platforms often include helpful features like appointment reminders, reducing the risk of missed appointments and improving patient adherence to treatment plans.

In the past, setting up appointments with healthcare providers usually meant dealing with a lot of phone calls, waiting, and sometimes even mix-ups in scheduling. But now, with app-based scheduling, things have changed big time. Patients can simply pick up their smartphones or other devices and book appointments with their doctors hassle-free, without having to endure long phone calls or waiting on hold.

What's more, app-based scheduling systems make it a whole lot easier for doctors to keep their schedules organized. They get real-time updates and everything syncs up across all their devices, which means they can juggle appointments, manage their workload, and avoid any scheduling clashes with ease. This level of organization doesn't just amp up the doctor's productivity, but it also guarantees that patients get the care they need right on time.

On top of that, they boost communication between doctors and patients in a big way. A lot of these platforms have messaging features that let patients reach out directly to their healthcare providers. They can ask questions, get quick responses, and stay in the loop about their care. This direct line of communication really gets patients more involved and feeling empowered, which in the end, helps improve their health outcomes.

Besides helping out doctors and patients, such applications also does wonders for the efficiency of healthcare systems as a whole. By lightening the load on administrative tasks related to appointment scheduling, these platforms streamline clinic operations, cut down on wait times, and make the most out of available resources. This not only saves money for healthcare providers but also means better access to care for patients.

In conclusion, the adoption of Apps for Doctors in Sugar Land, TX represents a significant milestone in healthcare technology, offering benefits for both medical professionals and patients alike. These digital platforms simplify appointment scheduling, enhance communication, and optimize clinic operations, ultimately leading to a transformation in patient care and an enriched healthcare experience.

Water woes (Financial Times) The world will experience an “increasingly erratic” water cycle as climate change drives new patterns of both extreme flooding and drought across the globe, the World Meteorological Organization has forecast. The agency said hydrological cycles were “spinning out of balance” and that more robust monitoring systems were needed, particularly in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, as it released a report on global water patterns in 2022. Droughts, extreme rainfall and melting snow and glaciers threatened long-term water security, the WMO said.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs bill expanding conservatorship law (AP) More Californians with untreated mental illness and addiction issues could be detained against their will and forced into treatment under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, a move to help overhaul the state’s mental health system and address its growing homelessness crisis. The new law, which reforms the state’s conservatorship system, expands the definition of “gravely disabled” to include people who are unable to provide themselves basic needs such as food and shelter due to an untreated mental illness or unhealthy drugs and alcohol use. Local governments say current state laws leave their hands tied if a person refuses to receive help. The bill was aimed in part at dealing with the state’s homelessness crisis. California is home to more than 171,000 homeless people—about 30% of the nation’s homeless population.

The Californization of the Texas Housing Market (WSJ) Texas has long had a reputation as an affordable place to live, in large part because homeownership stayed within reach for the middle class. Now the state is being walloped by the same forces that have made homes a lot less affordable in many cities previously known for reasonable prices: pandemic-era migration from California and other more expensive areas. California to Texas was the most popular interstate relocation route in the country in 2021, according to an analysis by storage-space search site StorageCafe. During that year, about 111,000 people—about 300 a day—moved from California to Texas. Soaring prices have left many longtime residents grumbling.

Panopticon (The Markup) Amazon Ring, the doorbell camera that many people install on the front of their homes to deter would-be package thieves, has developed into a massive, interconnected network that supplies posts and videos to police departments around the country. As of September, 2,604 police departments in the U.S. have some sort of arrangement with Amazon’s Ring network, receiving automatic emails that forward posts from the companion social app Neighbors, which is where the most paranoid people in a given neighborhood can post updates about everything they or their cameras see.

Argentina wildfires create apocalyptic scene of blazes at city’s edge (Washington Post) Fires that surrounded populated parts of Argentina, creating apocalyptic scenes that triggered international concern on social media, were largely brought under control Wednesday, authorities said. But the country remained under “extreme” fire danger amid dry and windy conditions. Firefighters were battling as many as six wildfires in the Córdoba province of central Argentina, where dozens of people were evacuated, according to the Associated Press. Images and video posted to social media showed flames and black smoke approaching urban areas outside Villa Carlos Paz, a resort city west of the city of Córdoba.

Never start vaping, says 12-year-old girl with lung damage (BBC) A 12-year-old girl who suffered a lung collapse and spent four days in an induced coma has told the BBC that children should never start vaping. Sarah Griffin had asthma and was a heavy vaper when she was rushed to hospital with breathing problems a month ago. Her mum Mary told the BBC she feared she was going to lose her daughter. The UK government has announced plans to restrict the marketing and sale of vapes targeted at children. Recent figures suggest that one in five children aged 11-17 have now tried vaping—three times as many as in 2020.

At NATO, Zelensky Secures More Ukraine Aid as Allies Balance Support for Israel (NYT) President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine made a surprise visit to NATO headquarters on Wednesday, urging the military alliance to maintain its flow of weapons to his country for its war against Russia, even as much of the West turns its attention to the brutal outbreak of violence in Israel. Top NATO officials sought to reassure Mr. Zelensky, pledging more than $2 billion in additional military aid to be delivered before Ukraine’s winter sets in.

As Turkey intensifies war on Kurdish militants in Iraq, civilians are suffering (Reuters) Seventeen-year-old Samir Saado was finishing his cleaning shift at the village medical center when an airstrike hit the building. “I didn’t see anything other than dust and smoke,” said Saado, a member of Iraq’s minority Yazidi community. “My leg was stuck under the rubble. I called for help and people were coming but the planes kept striking.” At least four civilians were killed that day, local officials said. The strike was part of escalating attacks by Turkish aircraft and drones in mainly Kurdish areas of Iraq and Syria, which have continued.

CIA publicly acknowledges 1953 coup it backed in Iran was undemocratic as it revisits ‘Argo’ rescue (AP) While revealing new details about one of the most famed CIA operations of all times—the spiriting out of six American diplomats who escaped the 1979 U.S. Embassy seizure in Iran—the intelligence agency for the first time has acknowledged something else as well. The CIA now officially describes the 1953 coup it backed in Iran that overthrew its prime minister and cemented the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as undemocratic. Other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, but the CIA’s acknowledgment in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup remains classified 70 years after the putsch. In Iran’s telling, a straight line leads from the coup to the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ultimately toppled the fatally ill shah. It still fuels the anti-Americanism that colors decisions made by the theocracy. The coup also led the CIA into a series of further coups in other countries, including Guatemala, where American clandestine action in 1954 installed a military dictator and sparked a 40-year civil war that likely killed some 245,000 people.

The Retired Israeli General Who Grabbed His Pistol and Took On Hamas (NYT) Israel Ziv, a retired Israeli Army general, was taking a bike ride Saturday morning when a flood of alarming calls started coming in. A huge barrage of rockets had been fired from Gaza. Gunmen from Hamas, the armed Palestinian group that controls the territory, were pouring across the border. Soon he would learn a friend’s son was trapped in a kibbutz. He raced home, put on his uniform and grabbed his weapon, a nine-millimeter pistol. Within minutes he was flying down a deserted highway in his new white Audi. As he neared the Gaza border, columns of black smoke rose in front of him, and the Israeli Army, at least at first, was nowhere to be seen. Hamas attackers were running across the landscape, hunched under the weight of heavy machine guns and rocket propelled grenade launchers, shooting at him. Mr. Ziv, stocky, spiky-haired, a bit irascible, and the former head of the operations directorate of the Israel Defense Forces, is a well-known figure in Israel, especially now. His actions over the weekend—driving headlong into the battle zone armed only with a pistol, organizing a confused group of soldiers into a fighting unit and overseeing evacuations—have been widely publicized on Israeli news channels. In the process he has become an avatar of Israel’s D.I.Y. spirit—and of the failure of its military and intelligence agencies. So weakened is public faith in the country’s military that one of the biggest issues Israelis are talking about is arming themselves. Many already own weapons, but the government announced this week that it was purchasing 10,000 assault rifles for civilians, along with bulletproof vests.

Complete siege (Washington Post/BBC) Defense officials have ordered a “complete siege” of Gaza after militants broke through its border wall into southern Israel on Saturday and killed more than 1,000 people, many of them civilians—the deadliest day in Israeli history. “No power, no food, no gas,” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals, and we act accordingly.” The Gaza Strip, a 140-square-mile stretch of land with more than 2 million people, depends on Israel for most of its electricity and other basic services. Cutting off gas and power from the territory could leave many residents not only without power, but without clean drinking water, proper sanitation and health care. On Wednesday, Palestinian authorities said Gaza’s only power plant has run out of fuel and stopped operating. “Within a matter of days Gaza will be in a blackout,” said Miriam Marmur, public advocacy director at Gisha, an Israeli nonprofit organization. Even before this escalation, residents in Gaza spent almost half the day, on average, without power. Israel says the siege of Gaza will not end until Israeli hostages, which are thought to number at least 150, are released by Hamas.

Israel calls for civilians to leave Gaza City as 'significant operation' looms (Reuters) Israel's military on Friday called for all civilians of Gaza City, more than 1 million people, to relocate south within 24 hours, as it amassed tanks nearby ahead of an expected ground invasion after a devastating attack by the militant group Hamas. "Now is a time for war," Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said on Thursday as Israeli warplanes continued pounding Gaza. The Israeli military said it would operate "significantly" in Gaza City in the coming days and civilians should only return when advised. More than 1,500 Palestinians have already been killed in retaliatory attacks.

Life on the other front (BBC) Tensions on Israel's northern frontier have soared since Hamas' bloody incursion in the south. Israel says it has reinforced its northern area with thousands of extra units after trading fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Correspondent Anna Foster wrote: In these northern Israeli border communities, people are nervous. They can see the high grey concrete wall that separates them from Lebanon, with Hezbollah observation posts towering up at regular intervals on the other side. One man shows me a video on his mobile phone of armed men firing on the very hillside we’re standing looking at. The sound of gunfire echoes loudly. These were Palestinian Islamic Jihad infiltrators who made their way over the barrier on Monday and killed Israeli soldiers. Families who live here are being told to stay as close to bomb shelters as they can.

Human Cells Display a Mathematical Pattern That Repeats in Nature (Smithsonian) In an effort that began more than ten years ago, scientists have estimated just how many cells make up the human body: Using data from more than 1,500 published sources, researchers determined that men are composed of about 36 trillion cells, women have some 28 trillion cells, and a 10-year-old child has roughly 17 trillion cells. What’s more, these cells follow a mathematical pattern based on size and mass that appears elsewhere in nature. The new data revealed that if a human’s cells of similar sizes are grouped together, each group contributes about the same total amount of mass to the body. Similar size distributions can be seen across scientific fields. In ecology, for example, marine organisms from bacteria to whales display the same pattern. This wide-ranging pattern suggests there may be “some deep underlying mechanism that could be common to all these different things,” lead author Ian Hatton, a biologist with the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Germany and at McGill University, tells Science News.

CEREBRUM - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Glasshouse Distribution.

SYNOPSIS:  In order for Tom to make ends meet he returns to his childhood home in Texas  and signs on as a test subject at his father’s, Kirk, home-based lab. Along with his father’s assistant Bhuvanesh, Kirk is attempting to finalize a technology that will allow him to backup the human brain. When Tom commits a crime he cannot remember, he  risks his own sanity to reveal the truth and finish what his father began with the help of his childhood friend Chloe.

REVIEW: It’s interesting how as technology has developed the future of brain research and the journey into the human mind has impacted science fiction. In 1983’s “Brainstorm” there was a tap device that could record the human brain and be used by another person to experience the playback. In the 1990 adaptation of the Philip K. Dick shorty story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” into “Total Recall” there is a massive computer device that can alter and implant memories to reshape an individual’s grasp of their reality. Brandon Cronenberg’s (yes, David’s son) 2020 film “Possessor” deals with a secret government agency that has the ability to use brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies in order to achieve their objectives undetected. Many of these films rely on flashy production designs and visually impressive looking futuristic technology to tell their stories.

Arvi Ragu’s CEREBRUM features some interesting looking technology that is grounded in a design that feels like the not so distant future. When you consider all the great American inventors, many of whom looked like, or they did indeed, work out of their homes or garages, such as Edison or the Hewlett-Packard (HP) company. Tom’s father Kirk is working out of his garage with a technology that interfaces with skin contact, much in the same way many devices we use today have apps that keep track of many of our health stats. The data that his technology collects is stored on these small discs that are put into a device that can be worn on the wrist. That information can then transform the wearer into the person whose data it is, but for a limited time. The whole research and implementation foundation he lays out seems practical and allows the view to go along for the ride.

Ragu works with a talented cast to tell his sci-fi thriller. Veteran actor James Russo adds this edge and gruffness to a character that we rarely see. Also, he’s not a “mad scientist,” but he is driven by the tragedy of what happened to his wife, Tom’s mother, to develop this technology. Most of all, he comes across as the “every man,” with a lack of perfection when it comes to his relationships and his shortcomings. Christian James plays his son Tom. There are some great scenes with him and Russo, as well as those with his co-star Alexxis Lemire. The chemistry sells the drama and adds to the tension and mystery of the tale.

In terms of the cinematography, costume designs, and other production designs, Ragu takes it in a different direction from what we normally expect from this type of story. By setting it in Texas, the film has a lot of browns, deep reds, and burnt orange to overlook that makes it feel more like a western then a sci-fi film. In the overall context of the narrative it works and makes for an engaging view.

The film’s climax makes these big leaps in what could easily have become a shell game or three card monte trick. I was afraid that it might become a bit confusing but Ragu does an amazing job of keeping it on point and delivers a clean and satisfying resolution. Given the circumstances the viewer early on knows that Tom is innocent for a variety of reasons, but the mystery of who actually did it keeps the viewer engaged.

CEREBRUM is the feature film directorial debut of Arvi Ragu. He delivers a soldi sci-fi thriller with an impressive narrative and some breathtaking and unexpected visuals. He does an excellent job of using the sci-fi elements to lay the foundations for the thriller aspect of the story, and successfully weaves in these character elements that we’d find in a solid drama about family and personal relationships. It’s an extremely satisfying view that probably looks even more amazing on a big screen. There are a couple of imperfections in the film, but they fail to detract from the overall quality of the film and my enthusiasm to experience Ragu’s next film.

Americans Are Drinking More During The Pandemic (NPR) When the pandemic began spreading across the U.S. in March, stores, restaurants and schools closed down. But liquor stores in many parts of the U.S. were deemed essential and stayed open. Alcohol sales have ticked up during the pandemic, so maybe it’s a good time to ask yourself: Are you drinking more than you’d like to be? R. Lorraine Collins, a psychologist at the University of Buffalo, recommends asking yourself, “Are you keeping alcohol as ... a special beverage for limited situations, or are you engaging in alcohol use across the board?” A break from alcohol can lead to a range of outcomes. As we’ve reported, a 2016 British study of people who participated in a monthlong “Dry January” break, found that 82% said they felt a sense of achievement. “Better sleep” was cited by 62%, and 49% said they lost some weight. Maybe you hike farther, have better conversations or get better sleep. Notice if your life feels richer to you. If we’re stuck at home for now, why not give it a try? What do you have to lose?

‘Do as I say’: Anger as some politicians ignore virus rules (AP) Denver’s mayor flies to Mississippi to spend Thanksgiving with his family—after urging others to stay home. He later says he was thinking with “my heart and not my head.” A Pennsylvania mayor bans indoor dining, then eats at a restaurant in Maryland. The governor of Rhode Island is photographed at an indoor wine event as her state faces the nation’s second-highest virus rate. While people weigh whether it’s safe to go to work or the grocery store, the mayor of Austin, Texas, heads to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on a private jet after hosting a wedding for 20. California’s governor dines at a swanky French restaurant with lobbyists, none wearing masks, a day after San Francisco’s mayor was there for a birthday party. Both had recently imposed tough rules on restaurants, shops and activities to slow the spread of the virus. To the public’s chagrin, some of America’s political leaders have been caught preaching one thing on the coronavirus and practicing another. Sure, politicians have long been called out for hypocrisy. But during a pandemic that’s forced millions into seclusion and left many without paychecks, such actions can feel like a personal insult—reinforcing the idea “that some people just don’t have to follow the rules while the rest of us do,” says Rita Kirk, a professor of communications at Southern Methodist University. Pandemic-era hypocrisy has only deepened the polarization in a time already marked by division, emboldening those who doubt the seriousness of the virus and dividing people’s responses based on political affiliations.

Hacked networks will need to be burned ‘down to the ground’ (AP) It’s going to take months to kick elite hackers widely believed to be Russian out of the U.S. government networks they have been quietly rifling through since as far back as March in Washington’s worst cyberespionage failure on record. Experts say there simply are not enough skilled threat-hunting teams to duly identify all the government and private-sector systems that may have been hacked. FireEye, the cybersecurity company that discovered the intrusion into U.S. agencies and was among the victims, has already tallied dozens of casualties. It’s racing to identify more. “We have a serious problem. We don’t know what networks they are in, how deep they are, what access they have, what tools they left,” said Bruce Schneier, a prominent security expert and Harvard fellow. Many federal workers—and others in the private sector—must presume that unclassified networks are teeming with spies. Agencies will be more inclined to conduct sensitive government business on Signal, WhatsApp and other encrypted smartphone apps. The only way to be sure a network is clean is “to burn it down to the ground and rebuild it,” Schneier said.

College students recruited as teachers to keep schools open (AP) As the coronavirus sidelines huge numbers of educators, school districts around the country are aggressively recruiting substitute teachers, offering bonuses and waiving certification requirements in order to keep classrooms open. Coming to the rescue in many cases are college students who are themselves learning online or home for extended winter breaks. In Indiana, the 4,400-student Greenfield-Central school district about 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Indianapolis made a plea for help as its substitute pool shrank. “I said, ‘If you’ve got a student who’s in college, maybe they’d like to work even a two-month thing for us—which would be a stopgap, no doubt—but it will help us a whole, whole bunch,” said Scott Kern, the Greenfield-Central Community School Corporation director of human resources. Over a dozen college students answered the call including his own daughter, 19-year-old Grace Kern, who is studying medical imaging technology at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. She has been working in elementary school classrooms, helping students as teachers offer instruction remotely via a screen inside the room.

An Ex-Governor Is Gunned Down, Punctuating a Deadly Year for Mexico (NYT) The former governor of the state of Jalisco was gunned down early Friday while vacationing in the resort city of Puerto Vallarta, the authorities said, a brazen killing that further illustrated the government’s struggles to rein in the deadly violence that has surged across Mexico over the past five years. The killing of the ex-governor, Aristóteles Sandoval, who was shot in the back inside a restaurant restroom, is one of the highest-profile political killings in Mexico in recent memory, security experts said. Mr. Sandoval was killed just hours before President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his cabinet delivered a grim update on the nation’s security situation during a news conference. More than 31,000 murders were recorded in Mexico this year as of November, the latest month for which government statistics are available, a figure roughly on pace with 2019. But homicides have nearly doubled over the past five years.

Bosnian city of Mostar gets a vote (AP) Irma Baralija is looking forward to Sunday, when she intends to vote and hopes to win her race as the southern Bosnian city of Mostar holds its first local election in 12 years. To make that vote possible in her hometown, the 36-year-old Baralija had to sue Bosnia in the European Court of Human Rights for letting a stalemate between two major nationalist political parties prevent her, along about 100,000 other Mostar residents, from voting or running in a municipal election for over a decade. By winning in court in October 2019, Baralija believes she has “busted the myth (that nationalist parties) have been feeding to us, that an individual cannot move things forward, that we matter only as members of our ethnic groups.” Left without fully functioning institutions, Mostar—one of the impoverished Balkan country’s main tourist destinations—has seen its infrastructure crumble, trash repeatedly pile up on its streets and hazardous waste and wastewater treatment sludge dumped in its only landfill, which was supposed to be for non-hazardous waste.

India’s virus cases cross 10 million as new infections dip (AP) India’s confirmed coronavirus cases have crossed 10 million with new infections dipping to their lowest levels in three months, as the country prepares for a massive COVID-19 vaccination in the new year. Dr. Randeep Guleria, a government health expert, said India is keeping its fingers crossed as the cases tend to increase in winter months. India is home to some of the world’s biggest vaccine-makers and there are five vaccine candidates under different phases of trial in the country.

Israel’s top-secret Mossad looks to recruit via Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV (Washington Post) After decades in the shadows, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, the Mossad, has been getting a lot of airtime, both on the news and in popular TV thrillers. In real life, details of operations attributed to Israel are in the open like never before, including the theft two years ago of a trove of nuclear secrets from inside Iran, last summer’s drive-by killing of al-Qaeda’s No. 2 in Tehran and the assassination last month of Iran’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. And on the screen, streaming hits like Apple TV Plus’s “Tehran,” Netflix’s “The Spy” and Hulu’s “False Flag” have starred the Mossad as a cold, ruthless and efficient machine. Far from squirming, the once-supersecret agency has welcomed the exposure, former spies say. The Mossad needs recruits. Military veterans who might have once made their career in national service now leave to work for lucrative start-ups, or found their own. Israeli companies Waze, Wix, Viber and others were started by intelligence veterans. In response, Yossi Cohen, the Mossad’s director since 2016 and a close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has embarked on a hiring spree, increased the agency’s number of sabotage operations and enlarged its budget by billions of shekels. The Mossad’s recruitment drive includes a heightened social media presence and a calculated trickle of unconfirmed information about its exploits. And former spies say the agency is quietly embracing a slew of TV shows and movies that could do for the agency what “Top Gun” famously did for naval recruitment: make a life in the organization seem cool again.

Chaos and jubilation as freed Nigerian schoolboys reunite with family (Reuters) Parents sobbed, mobbed their children in hugs and even kissed the ground in gratitude on Friday as they reunited with scores of schoolboys who had been kidnapped a week earlier in northwest Nigeria. Hundreds of adults jostled to find their offspring among the 344 dusty and dazed looking children who had arrived by bus in Katsina state on Friday morning. Those who succeeded cheered and grabbed their children, but scores more were still waiting by early evening. “I feel like God has granted me paradise because I am so happy,” said an ebullient Hamza Kankara after she found her son, Lawal, in the crowd. Another man knelt and kissed the ground, thanking God for the return of his young son, before clutching the boy and sobbing.

Per the memorandum, Barr has “directed the Department [of Justice] and the FBI to lead an effort to refine our ability to identify, assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike.” The Attorney General further described the coming initiative, slated to be implemented early next year, as “an efficient, effective and programmatic strategy to disrupt individuals who are mobilizing towards violence, by all lawful means.” More specific information about the program is set to follow the recent memorandum, according to Barr, though it is unclear if that forthcoming document will be made public.

Barr also requested that those who received the memorandum send their “best and brightest” to a training conference at FBI headquarters this coming December where the DOJ, FBI and “private sector partners” will prepare for the full implementation of the new policy and will also be able to provide “new ideas” for inclusion in the program.

Perhaps the most jarring aspect of the memorandum is Barr’s frank admission that many of the “early engagement” tactics that the new program would utilize were “born of the posture we adopted with respect to terrorist threats.” In other words, the foundation for many of the policies utilized following the post-9/11 “war on terror” are also the foundation for the “early engagement” tactics that Barr seeks to use to identify potential criminals as part of this new policy. Though those “war on terror” policies have largely targeted individuals abroad, Barr’s memorandum makes it clear that some of those same controversial tactics will soon be used domestically. 

Barr’s memorandum also alludes to current practices by the FBI and DOJ that will shape the new plan. Though more specifics of the new policy will be provided in the forthcoming notice, Barr notes that “newly developed tactics” used by the Joint Terrorist Task Forces “include the use of clinical psychologists, threat assessment professionals, intervention teams and community groups” to detect risk and suggests that the new “early engagement program” will work along similar lines. Barr also alludes to this “community” approach in a separate instance, when he writes that “when the public ‘says something’ to alert us to a potential threat, we must do something.”

However, the memorandum differentiates suspected terrorists from the individuals this new program is set to pursue. Barr states that, unlike many historical terrorism cases, “many of today’s public safety threats appear abruptly and with sometimes only ambiguous indications of intent” and that many of these individuals “exhibit symptoms of mental illness and/or have substance abuse problems.”

Thus, the goal of the program is ostensibly to circumvent these issues by finding new and likely controversial ways to determine intent. As will be shown later in this report, Barr’s recent actions suggest that the way this will be accomplished is through increased mass surveillance of everyday Americans and the use of algorithms to analyze that bulk data for vaguely defined symptoms of “mental illness.”

Barr also suggested the likely courses of action that would follow the identification of a given individual as a “potential mass shooter.” The Attorney General notes that in past cases individuals deemed a violent or terroristic threat before they commit a crime are subject to “detention, court-ordered mental health treatment, substance abuse counseling, electronic monitoring”, among other measures. Ostensibly, the new program would then apply these same practices to individuals in the U.S. that federal authorities believe are “mobilizing towards violence,” as Barr put it.

Bill Barr’s been busy

The memorandum, despite heralding a new era of Orwellian surveillance and “pre-crime” on a national level, has been sparsely covered by the mainstream media. One of the few reports that did cover the new Justice Department policy, published Wednesday by the Huffington Post, framed the new Barr-led initiative as largely positive and asserted that the “anti-terror tactics” to which Barr alluded could “help thwart mass shooters.” No mention was made in the piece of the threat such a program is likely to pose to civil liberties.

Furthermore, no mention was made of Barr’s clear push over the past few months to lay the groundwork for this recently announced program. Indeed, since becoming Attorney General under President Trump, Barr has spearheaded numerous efforts to this end, including pushing for a government backdoor into consumer apps or devices that utilize encryption and for a dramatic increase of long-standing yet controversial warrantless electronic surveillance programs. 

On July 23rd, Barr gave the keynote address at the 2019 International Conference on Cyber Security (ICCS) and mainly focused on the need for consumer electronic products and applications that use encryption to offer a “backdoor” for the government, specifically law enforcement, in order to obtain access to encrypted communications as a matter of public safety.

Barr went onto say that “warrant-proof encryption is also seriously impairing our ability to monitor and combat domestic and foreign terrorists.” Barr stated that “smaller terrorist groups and ‘lone wolf’ actors” — such as those involved in the series of mass shootings in California, Texas and Ohio that occurred in the weeks after his speech — “have turned increasingly to encryption.” Barr later noted that he was specifically referencing encryption used by “consumer products and services such as messaging, smartphones, email, and voice and data applications.”

 

To overcome the resistance by some private companies — who do not want to renege on their right to privacy by giving the government backdoor access to their devices — and American consumers, Barr tellingly anticipated “a major incident may occur at any time that will galvanize public opinion on these issues.” Shortly after this speech, several mass shootings, including one at an El Paso Walmart took place, which again brought the issue to the forefront of political discourse. 

As MintPress reported at the time, Barr’s uncanny prediction and a litany of other oddities related to the El Paso shooting left many answered questions about the FBI’s foreknowledge of the event. In addition, the tragedy did appear to serve as the very “galvanizing” event that Barr had anticipated, as the solution offered by President Trump in the wake of the shootings was the creation of a government backdoor into encryption as well as calling for the very pre-crime system Barr formally announced just last week.

The pre-crime dragnet takes shape

More recently, Barr and U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel signed a data access agreement on October 3rd that allows both countries to demand electronic data on consumers from tech companies based in the other country without legal restrictions. It is the first executive agreement reached as part of the controversial Clarifying Overseas Use of Data Act or CLOUD Act passed by the U.S. Congress last year. 

The CLOUD Act has come under fire from rights groups who have warned that the legislation gives “unlimited jurisdiction to U.S. law enforcement over any data controlled by a service provider, regardless of where the data is stored and who created it” and that this also “applies to content, metadata, and subscriber information”, including private messages.

Yet, Barr and Patel claimed that the data access agreement will instead “enhance” civil liberties and further asserted that the agreement would be used to go after “pedophiles” and “organized crime”, even though both Barr and his U.K. equivalent have shown minimal interest in pursuing the co-conspirators of child sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, whose sex trafficking network has been linked to both organized crime and the intelligence agencies of both the U.S. and Israel. Some have charged that the lack of interest on the part of William Barr is due to the fact that Barr’s father once hired the now deceased pedophile.

Notably, Jeffrey Epstein also had an apparent interest in pre-crime technologies, and was a key funder of the controversial technology company Carbyne911, along with former Israeli Prime Minister and close Epstein associate Ehud Barak. Carbyne911 is one of several Israeli companies that market their software products to the U.S. as a means of reducing mass shootings and improving the response times of emergency service providers. These companies boast numerous and troubling connections to the governments and intelligence communities of both the U.S. and Israel. Epstein, himself linked to the intelligence apparatuses of both nations, invested at least $1 million in Carbyne911 through a “data mining” company he controlled. 

As was detailed in a recent MintPress exposé on these companies, Carbyne911 and similar companies extract any and all data from consumer smartphones for merely making emergency calls and then use it to “analyze the past and present behavior of their callers, react accordingly, and in time predict future patterns,” with the ultimate goal of smart devices making emergency calls to the authorities, as opposed to human beings. 

Data obtained from these software products, already used by several U.S. counties and slated to be adopted nationwide as part of a new national “next generation” 911 system, will then be shared with the same law enforcement agencies who will soon be implementing Barr’s “national disruption and early engagement program” to target individuals flagged as potentially violent based on vague criteria. 

Notably, following the El Paso shooting, President Trump has been mulling the creation of a new federal agency known as HARPA that would work with the Department of Justice to use “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence,” specifically “advanced analytical tools based on artificial intelligence and machine learning.” The data to be analyzed would be harvested from consumer electronic devices as well as information provided by health-care providers to identify who may be a threat.

It is important to point out that such initiatives, whether HARPA or Barr’s newly announced program, are likely to define “mental illness” to include some political beliefs, given that the FBI recently stated in an internal memo that “conspiracy theories” were motivating some domestic terror threats and a series of questionable academic studies have sought to link “conspiracy theorists” to mental illnesses. Thus, the Department of Justice and “mental health professionals” have essentially already defined those who express disbelief in official government narratives as both a terror threat and mentally ill — and thus worthy of special attention from pre-crime programs.

Sleepwalking into a nightmare

This widely overlooked background is crucial to understanding William Barr’s recent memorandum and the massive and greatly underreported shift in the policy it heralds. Over a period of several months, Barr — aided by “private sector partners” as well as other current and former government officials — has been laying the groundwork for the system he has now formally announced.

Through the software products offered by companies like Carbyne911 and through Barr’s personal crusade to mandate government backdoors into encrypted software and products, Barr’s new pre-crime program already has the tools for the mass extraction and storage of consumer data by means of both private tech companies and public services like emergency call centers. 

Through the already drafted plan for HARPA and its proposed solution to identifying “mental illness” via artificial intelligence and machine learning, this newly announced “pre-crime” program will have the means to analyze the mass of data harvested from consumer electronic devices from Carbyne and other means using vague “mental health criteria.”

While many of the specifics of the program remain unknown, the actions of Barr and others in government and private sectors show that this newly announced initiative is the product of years of careful planning and many of the tactics and tools it is poised to use have been in the works for months and even years.

In recent decades, and especially after the September 11 attacks, Americans have quietly traded an increasing number of civil liberties for increased government “counter-terrorism” programs and wars purportedly waged to “keep us safe.” Now, those same policies used to target “terrorists” are set to be used against ordinary Americans, whose electronic lives and communications are now set to be scoured for evidence of “mental illness.” If these untransparent algorithms flag an individual, that could be enough lead to court-ordered “mental health treatment” or even imprisonment regardless of whether or not a crime was committed or even planned.

As a consequence, William Barr’s coming “pre-crime” program is arguably worse than the stuff of dystopian science fiction novels and films as it not only aims to detain Americans who have committed no crime but will expressly target individuals based on their use of electronic consumer products and the contents of their communications with their friends, family, co-workers, and others.

What is J.D. Power? | Bankrate

You may find that Bankrate’s studies frequently refer to JD Power as a source of customer ratings and reviews. JD Power, headquartered in Michigan, is a consumer data and analytics company that has been producing detailed, objective studies of a variety of industries since 1968.

The company is a good source of independent, unbiased reviews. Policyholders often write complaints but rarely take the time to share common experiences with a company. While complaints can provide a snapshot of where a company is falling short, well-rounded perspectives that share a company’s strengths and weaknesses are usually more helpful. JD Power studies help convey this perspective.

What does JD Power do?

JD Power specializes in data collection and analysis. Its main function is to gather information that provides an unbiased picture of a particular industry. Typically, the data is used to create an analysis of how consumers think about a particular company or industry. To get an accurate picture, JD Power typically collects responses from consumers who have had firsthand experience with the company or product.

JD Power’s studies are thorough. In the case of the annual U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study, policyholder respondents are asked about their claims experience with auto insurance from start to finish, including the initial claim report, the repair process and vehicle return, and the billing process for vehicles classified as Total write-offs have been declared, if applicable. With insurance studies in particular, JD Power aims to understand general levels of customer satisfaction and provide insurers with insights on where they can improve.

The majority of his reports are based on subscribers. Customers include some of the “world’s leading companies” who can also pay the company to develop and conduct a custom study. However, JD Power publishes and publishes select insights into the company’s press room, such as: B. the New Vehicle Demand Forecast.

What is JD-Power?

JD Power has humble beginnings, starting from the kitchen table of JD “Dave” Power III. His main focus in 1968 was on collecting consumer sentiment about the automotive industry. His services gained editorial recognition in the 1970s after the Wall Street Journal published an article referring to one of the company’s first independently funded surveys.

JD Power began expanding into other industries, although the automotive industry is one of the company’s greatest strengths. Subaru put JD Power on the auto industry map in the 1980s when it mentioned its JD Power rankings during a Super Bowl XVIII commercial. Since then, the JD Power Awards have been featured many times in advertisements and commercials around the world.

JD Power surveys

JD Power is popular because of its surveys, which provide extremely valuable consumer information. Companies need feedback from customers to know what is working and what needs improvement. However, customers may hesitate to provide feedback to a company. JD Power is experienced in collecting important customer information.

Certain JD Power surveys are conducted and published annually. The information included in the surveys is presented in an easy-to-understand format, making it easy to identify the companies that are performing well. Companies receive JD Power ratings, or scores, which they place in a specific sector of the market. Depending on the industry, JD Power can categorize companies by region. This seems to provide the most accurate analysis as a national company can do better in one area than another.

An award or review from JD Power is useful for both the companies receiving the awards and the information-seeking consumer. To receive a JD Power Award, companies are compared based on several focus areas. For example, when you shop for a life insurance company, you know that an insurance carrier that ranks high in the life insurance study received high marks in several categories, including policy options, customer communications, pricing, and claims settlement.

Industries served by JD Power

JD Power conducts market research for multiple industries. Industry research can even be used to focus on more specific categories like home insurance. The various industries for which JD Power researches include:

Automobile: Studies can focus on the state of the auto market, vehicle sales and forecasts, customer satisfaction, and more.

Finances: JD Power’s focus on the financial industry encompasses the growing popularity of fintech, lending, and retail banking.

Insurance: JD Power’s annual studies of various insurance industries are invaluable. They cover the areas of motor, home and life insurance.

Health care: JD Power conducts studies and data analysis on Medicare and other health topics.

Travel: The company’s customer satisfaction studies include reviews for airlines, car rental companies, and hotels.

Why JD Power is believable

JD Power studies are considered objective because they involve extensive data rather than small data sets. His studies are based on a wide range of responses from consumers across the country and often include analysis of multiple companies for comparison.

According to its mission statement, JD Power works with the aim of being a “truth finder”. He continues: “At JD Power, we pride ourselves on the unbiased data and results we deliver. As individuals, every single member of our team strives to live the same objectivity and embody the highest ethical and professional standards – the only “favorite” we have is the truth. “

How Bankrate uses JD Power

Bankrate often refers to JD Power Scores as a barometer of how customers feel about a particular carrier. Similar to JD Power, Bankrate collects both quantitative and qualitative data on specific companies and finds ways to classify the information so that readers can understand and use it for comparison. Bankrate may also use customer complaint data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and financial strength ratings from AM Best and Moody’s, two leading rating agencies.

Some of JD Power’s annual surveys that Bankrate’s insurance writing team cites most often include:

JD Power Auto Damage Study: The study provides policyholders with insights into which companies are best at handling motor insurance claims.

JD Power Auto Insurance Study: This annual study groups customer satisfaction levels for various airlines in regions such as New England, Southwest, Texas, California, Florida and more.

JD Power Home Insurance Study: This study reveals which carriers customers are most satisfied with when it comes to homeowner or tenant insurance.

JD Power Insurance Digital Experience Study: As websites and mobile apps take over the way individuals buy and manage their insurance needs, some insurance companies are leading the way in the insurtech space. The digital experience study provides insights into how customers think about developments and which carriers are doing best.

JD Power Insurance Shopping Study: Buying insurance is not always easy. However, the insurance companies that make up this list are some of the most successful and innovative when it comes to delivering a positive experience.

Key Considerations in Mobile Apps for Medical Professionals

With the digitalization of everything, the healthcare industry is not far behind. The role of mobile apps for medical agencies has evolved into a crucial aspect of efficient service. The integration of technology not only streamlines processes but also enhances the overall quality of care. As professionals and agencies embrace the digital era, the selection of the right mobile app becomes paramount. There are some essential factors that medical professionals and agencies should consider when evaluating mobile apps to ensure they align seamlessly with demands.

The ever-expanding realm of Mobile Apps for Medical Professionals is marked by diverse features and functionalities, each catering to specific needs within the healthcare ecosystem. One pivotal aspect to consider is the ability of the app to accept every referral at all times. With an extensive database of clinicians, a reliable application ensures that professionals never miss a referral due to staffing limitations. This broadens the geographic coverage, allowing for unlimited access to qualified clinicians whenever and wherever the patient requires assistance.

Competitive rates stand as another significant criterion in the evaluation of apps for medical agencies. The absence of overhead costs associated with traditional brick-and-mortar staffing agencies allows for lower rates, translating to cost savings passed on to professionals. This not only benefits individual practitioners but also contributes to more efficient resource allocation within healthcare agencies.

Ensuring the quality of clinicians is imperative in healthcare, and mobile apps have responded to this need with a clinician quality rating system. This system provides transparency, offering insights into the proficiency of clinicians based on ratings from both the agency and the patients they have served. This feature alleviates concerns about utilizing unproven clinicians, enabling medical professionals to make informed decisions that align with the delivery of high-quality care and positive patient outcomes.

As the industry continues to diversify, having specialty clinicians at your disposal becomes a game-changer. A robust app should provide easy access to a pool of specialized clinicians, ensuring that staffing agencies can promptly match specific skill sets to patient needs. This ensures a more personalized and effective approach to care delivery, ultimately benefiting both medical professionals and the patients they serve.

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, the demand for instant access to current credentials is non-negotiable. The best Mobile Apps for Medical Professionals guarantee this access by automatically inactivating clinicians with expired credentials. This feature not only eliminates concerns about working with outdated credentials but also provides an instant solution, crucial when facing unexpected audits or urgent staffing needs. By prioritizing these factors, professionals and agencies can embrace technology as a powerful ally in delivering optimal patient care in the modern landscape.

New Mask Rules Are Tricky for Business Want this newsletter delivered directly to your inbox? Sign up here. Now what? The C.D.C. surprised health experts, political leaders and others yesterday when it announced that vaccinated people could go maskless in most places, including indoors. The agency’s advice doesn’t override local and state rules, though at least seven states adopted its mask guidelines. Others, like New York, said they would study the new guidance before deciding whether to adopt it. That puts businesses in a tricky spot. Companies with frontline workers aren’t sure what to do. Retailers like Macy’s and the Gap said they were reviewing the new guidance, while Home Depot said it had no plans to change its rules requiring customers and workers to wear masks in its stores. Airlines and other transportation companies didn’t need to react, because federal guidelines still require masks for their industry. Unions are unhappy about it. “Millions of Americans are doing the right thing and getting vaccinated, but essential workers are still forced to play mask police for shoppers who are unvaccinated and refuse to follow local Covid safety measures,” the president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, Marc Perrone, said in a statement. “Are they now supposed to become the vaccination police?” H.R. departments have yet another headache. Companies coming up with protocols for a return to the office haven’t prepared for the C.D.C.’s sharp turnabout, Douglas Brayley, an employment lawyer at Ropes & Gray, told DealBook. Companies need to abide by local guidelines, but the change in federal guidance raises questions. How do large companies establish a common policy when local public health agencies may not agree? How to handle employees who are still uncertain about safety when protocols shift? How will companies find out whether employees are vaccinated, and thus determine if they need to wear a mask? And what about the Yankees? Eight fully vaccinated members of the baseball team tested positive for the virus. Some may interpret it as a lesson for businesses when workplaces loosen their protocols for things like masking, even if a majority of employees are vaccinated. “For a little bit there, we were getting pretty comfortable, because that’s what the rules called for. Now, we’ll tighten it back up and hopefully everyone stays safe,” the Yankees pitcher Jameson Taillon told The Times. Others argue that the Yankees’ frequent testing makes asymptomatic cases more likely to be caught, and given that only one of the eight has shown symptoms, it’s a sign that the vaccines are effective. What are the rules where you are? See reopening plans and mask mandates for all 50 states. HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING Colonial Pipeline paid a $5 million ransom to hackers. The payment, made in Bitcoin, came shortly after the company shut down its network — and, as a result, the pipeline that supplies almost half of the East Coast’s fuel — in response to a ransomware attack. In other hacking news, Ireland’s health system operator shut down today because of a ransomware attack, and a unit of Toshiba said that it had been targeted by DarkSide, the group blamed for the Colonial infiltration. McDonald’s is raising its wages, sort of. After moves by other fast-food chains, the company will increase pay at its 650 company-owned restaurants to an average of $13 per hour. But about 95 percent of McDonald’s restaurants in the U.S. are independently owned and will not be affected by the move. A major teachers’ union called for schools to reopen. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, which has 1.7 million members, said of the next academic year, “There is no doubt: Schools must be open. In person. Five days a week.” Teachers’ unions have sought strict virus mitigation measures that some say have slowed reopening timelines. Delta will require new hires to be vaccinated, making it one of the first major corporations to enact such a provision. The airline’s C.E.O., Ed Bastian, told CNN that the requirement wouldn’t extend to current employees, but he said that he expected up to 80 percent to get shots. DoorDash tripled its revenue in the first quarter. Demand for food delivery does not seem to be dropping as restaurants reopen dining rooms. “The negative impact that we were expecting in consumer behavior was smaller than we were anticipating,” the company’s C.F.O., Prabir Adarkar, told The Wall Street Journal. Crypto’s first earnings call The crypto exchange Coinbase yesterday held its first earnings call since going public. Its bumper profit for the first quarter largely matched expectations set in its filings ahead of its I.P.O. last month, so the numbers didn’t raise many pressing questions from investors, who were able to submit queries online and vote for their favorites to put to management. “When will users be able to trade Doge?” Of more than 100 shareholder questions, one about Dogecoin, the high-flying crypto token based on a meme, was, inevitably, the most popular and so it was asked first. “We plan to list Doge in six to eight weeks,” said Coinbase’s C.E.O., Brian Armstrong, noting that the company was looking to expand its assets and aimed to list new products faster. Coinbase says it won’t be too hasty. Armstrong noted that “certain products” that the exchange’s competitors allow users to trade make Coinbase “uncomfortable,” whereas “from the earliest days,” the company embraced regulation. Indeed, Coinbase representatives just met with regulators in Washington, Armstrong said, providing no specifics. The company’s C.F.O., Alesia Haas, said that Coinbase was “bullish on the global market” and eager to expand internationally but that it needed licenses and bank partnerships, which take time. Armstrong loves an internet reference. The company’s co-founder referred to this period in the crypto industry as similar to the internet’s infancy at least three times and at one point likened Coinbase to Google. The exchange welcomes competition, he said, just as “in the early days of the internet, Google wanted more websites out there.” But Coinbase isn’t looking to compete with rivals on fees, so if users had dreams of trading for free, as on the Robinhood app, they were dashed. “We do not believe in fee-less crypto trading,” Haas said. “The fortune of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates exceeds the size of Morocco’s annual economy, combines the value of Ford, Twitter and Marriott International and is triple the endowment of Harvard. While few know how their wealth will be divided in the divorce, one thing is clear: breaking it up can’t be easy.” — The Times digs into the Gates family fortune, estimated to be worth at least $124 billion, which includes a stake in the Four Seasons hotel chain, huge tracts of farmland, a beachfront mansion in Southern California and one of Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks. In the papers Some of the academic research that caught our eye this week, summarized in one sentence: ‘To our clients’ — Marty Lipton’s letters Martin Lipton is one of the most consequential figures in modern corporate finance. Throughout the 89-year-old’s career as a high-powered M.&A. lawyer, he has chronicled the ups and downs of deal making in thoughtful and widely followed notes to clients, known as “Marty Memos.” The notes, which span poison pills, shareholder primacy and the purpose of companies, are now available in a digital archive. The back story: Leo Strine, former chief justice of the Delaware Supreme Court and now at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, helped create the archive. “It has taken several years to do the coding of the memos, to draft a narrative that situates ML’s work in historical context, and that also, critically, provides links to the key cases, regulatory developments and scholars and advocates involved in the policy debates in which ML participated,” Strine said in an email. He worked on it with teams at Wachtell and Penn Law, where he teaches. An in-depth essay that serves as a guide to the archive, “Lipton and His Impact,” is the place to start. Here are two of our favorite letters. One comes from the 1980s takeover era, when junk bonds drove Wall Street and the poison pill was invented by Lipton in response, and the other from more recently, 2018, in which Lipton frames his early thinking on anti-takeover measures in the context of focusing on all stakeholders, not just shareholders: “Our Nation is blindly rushing to the precipice.” In his Oct. 28, 1988, memo, “Is This the End of Takeovers,” Lipton warned that “abusive takeover tactics” were saddling American companies with too much debt and forcing them to focus on short-term market results. “As with tulip bulbs, South Sea bubbles, pyramid investment trusts, Florida land, REITs, LDC loans, Texas banks and all the other financial market frenzies of the past, the denouement will be a crash,” he wrote, urging rules to rein in investors who “show no restraint and no regard for the public good.” “It promotes inequality and strikes at the very heart of our society.” In his April 10, 2018, memo, “The Purpose of the Corporation,” Lipton took aim at Milton Friedman’s mantra that companies should serve shareholders above all, which he said led to the damaging short-termism that he had fought against in takeover battles throughout his career. Noting “important new support for counterbalancing shareholder primacy and promoting long-term sustainable investment” at firms like BlackRock (and later the Business Roundtable, among others) he lent his voice to a burgeoning movement.
