I uploaded a good chunk of chapters. 7 Actually, and the announcement of course. And these were some doodles I did that have been waiting in the wings. That comic was actually done way back in July. I don't want these hovering over me, so me posting them now means I don't have to look back at them until I'm ready. Hope you all manage to enjoy regardless. Another NSFW chapter posted as well, but it doesn't go very far. Thought I'd mention it just to be mindful.

1917 08 Desperate maneuvers - Russell Smith

In the last week of August 1917 there was little aerial activity due to the bad weather. For this reason, Otto Fuchs made use of an afternoon free from rain and storm for an orientation flight in the area behind the front with the pilots newly transferred to the Staffel, Lt. Rudolf von der Horst and Lt. Kurt Katzenstein, during which he flew his "red F". He reported regarding this orientation flight:  When we had reached flight altitude it became more and more unpleasant. Heavy gusts of wind and an ever darkening sky heralded a strong summer storm. I became concerned about my two inexperienced pilots and decided to leave the altitude of about 3000 meters and to return to Phalempin in a descending flight. Suddenly the black layer of clouds tore open, rays of sunlight shortly appeared, and I spotted a group of English fighter planes above us, who were apparently likewise on the way home due to the storm. From their superior position the Englishmen immediately went over to the attack and dove down upon us. Since I was flying higher than the two novices as protection, I was the first to be attacked by two Englishmen, and immediately let myself spin down. While the bank of clouds approached threateningly, I was forced down lower and lower by my pursuers. I attempted to evade my pursuers while under constant fire, finally at the height of the tree tops. Again and again strong gusts of wind shifted my Albatros over several meters, so that I was afraid of ramming into a tree or a building. My machine had already been hit several times, when suddenly a hazy wall of rain appeared before me. This was my salvation: I flew right into the wall of rain and immediately pulled the stick upwards in order not to crash into a tower or a tree. In the heavy rain shower I spotted a meadow below me and began to land. While doing so, my Albatros was pretty well wrecked. When Otto Fuchs returned to Phalempin, soaked through and covered in mud, he discovered to his relief that his two comrades had also survived the air combat unharmed. Kurt Katzenstein had landed smoothly on the airfield with a few hits in his machine, while Rudolf von der Horst had been forced to make an emergency landing in his Albatros D.V with a shot-up engine. After this experience, Otto Fuchs decided never again to use a letter as his personal marking.

off the rack #1316

Monday, March 8, 2021

 Coming up on a year since the pandemic started. I hope you're all healthy and safe. I am hopeful that vaccines will be deployed widely and help us all feel less anxious. I am fortunate enough to be one of those people who is happy as a bug snug in a rug while self isolating. I do really miss my dear friends and family but hugs can wait until we're all vaccinated.

 My thanks to Doug for lending me these comic books to read.

 Batman Annual #5 - James Tynion IV (writer) James Stokoe (art) Clayton Cowles (letters). It's the origin of Clownhunter and it's not very original. If I had to pay $4.99 US I would have passed on this and lived with leaving a hole in my Batman collection. If you're not familiar with this new vigilante, he's an Asian teenager named Bao who decides he's going to kill the Joker and all of the villain's sycophants. The reason he becomes Clownhunter (and killer) is very mundane. I wish they could have come up with a new motivator. Maybe the philosophical discussion about what to do about the Joker might interest some fans but I found this story quite tedious. I also didn't like the way Bao and his parents were portrayed. Did they really have an Asian saying "Ah, so"? Yes they did on page 8. Shades of Charlie Chan, Batman. I was not offended, just disappointed.

 Batman/Catwoman #3 - Tom King (writer) Clay Mann (art) Tomeu Morey (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). I was thrilled to see the town of Port Orange, Florida mentioned on the first page. My pal Al lives there. It's also where Selina finally catches up with the Joker and does what Batman never did. I love this Black Label book taking familiar characters and treating them in a new and interesting way. Here's a future where Selina has survived her husband Bruce's death and their daughter Helena is the new Batwoman. Now I wait to see how mother and daughter deal with the Angel of Death.

 And now, more Future State books.

 Future State: Robin Eternal #2 - Meghan Fitzmartin (writer) Eddy Barrows (pencils) Eber Ferreira (inks) Adriano Lucas (colours) Pat Brosseau (letters). The consequence of Tim Drake/Robin being dunked in Lazarus resin is that now he's immortal. Whoop-dee-doo. Not only is this a boring Robin beats up bad guys issue but the art lacked any logical perspective. This issue takes place on a train but you would think it's in a huge building based on the art. I know it's comic books but I hate when one doesn't make visual sense. I think that's just laziness.

 Future State: Kara Zor-El Superwoman #1 & #2 - Marguerite Bennett (writer) Marguerite Sauvage (art) Wes Abbott (letters). This 2-issue fairy tale was not meant for old farts like me and Doug. With it's soft pastel colours these books should have included glitter and bubblegum flavoured lip gloss. Maybe young tween girls will like this. The moral of this story is "no one is born wise".

 Future State: Dark Detective #3 - Mariko Tamaki (writer) Dan Mora (art) Jordie Bellaire (colours) Aditya Bidikar (letters). There are not one but two Batmans in this issue. You've got Bruce in his new capeless costume but here he's wearing a trench coat to give that fluttering effect, and then there's the new guy in the Bat suit, cape and all. The "uh-oh" point of the story hits here when the bad guys discover where Bruce is hiding out. The Matthew Rosenberg (writer) Carmine Di Giandomenico (art) Antonio Fabela (colours) & AndWorld Design (letters) Grifter story concludes here too with a double cross and a whole lot more of Helena/Huntress. This is my favourite Future State book so far.

 Future State: Superman of Metropolis #1 & #2 - Sean Lewis (writer) John Timms (art) Gabe Eltaeb (colours) Dave Sharpe (letters). If you're wondering how a grown up Jonathan Kent takes over for his dad as Metropolis's protector then these two $5.99 US books will satisfy your curiosity. The villain of the story is an evolved Brainiac who is a big multi-mouthed ball now. Metropolis is shrunk ala the bottle city of Kandor, the citizens go nuts but Jon returns things back to normal in the end with the help of Kara/Supergirl. I don't know why Kara's a girl in this story and a woman elsewhere. Each issue has two back-ups so you get your money's worth. One features Mister Miracle and the other the Guardian. They are both dealing with bad things inside the bottled Metropolis. You won't miss much if you don't read them. The Mister Miracle story "The Metropolis Menagerie" is done my Brandon Easton (writer) Valentine De Landro (art) Marissa Louise (colours) Dave Sharpe (letters). The Guardian story is brought to you by Sean Lewis (writer) Cully Hamner & Michael Avon Oeming (art) Laura Martin (colours) AndWorld Design (letters). This one got me excited because a villain wants to throw Jimmy Olsen off of the Daily Planet building.

 Future State: Catwoman #2 - Ram V (writer) Otto Schmidt (art) Tom Napolitano (letters). Read this to find out if Catwoman saves the lives of the people on the train. You will also find out if Bruce is freed from the bad guys. Talia Al-Ghul appearing is the deus ex machina in this story. I like the new Cheshire and Onomatopoeia is always fun.

 Future State: Superman: Worlds of War #2 - Phillip Kennedy Johnson (writer) Mikel Janin (art) Jordie Bellaire (colours) & Dave Sharpe (letters). In "The Many Deaths of Superman" the Man of Steel fights in the arena of Warworld where Mongul resurrects him after every death match. It's the typical brutal battle scenes and super villain gloating. What's more compelling is an old newspaper story that Clark Kent wrote that inspired a young woman who travels to Smallville. I was totally confused by the three back-up stories featuring Mister Miracle, Midnighter and the Black Racer because they were not very good. I am a completist and have to finish what I start. I could have stopped reading after the $3.99 US main story in this bloated $7.99 US comic book  but my obsessive compulsive nature wouldn't let me. It's a character flaw I wish I could change.

 Future State: The Next Batman #1 - John Ridley (writer) Nick Derington (art) Tamra Bonvillain (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). All the teasers for this book hyped the fact that this Batman is black. You won't get the secret identity in this first issue but there are a bunch of likely candidates. Lucas Fox is a possibility but it's confusing because he's a bad guy in another Future State book. This is another $7.99 US book with back-ups. These are more coherent than the ones in Future State: Superman: Worlds of War.

Future State: Outsiders by Brandon Thomas (writer) Sumit Kumar (pencils) Sumit Kumar & Raul Fernandez (inks) Jordie Bellaire (colours) & Steve Wands (letters) gathers together some old Batman associates helping Gotham City citizens escape persecution by the Magistrates outside Gotham City's borders. Get it? It was nice seeing Katana in action.

Future State: Arkham Knights by Paul Jenkins (writer) Jack Herbert (art) Gabe Eltaeb (colours) & Rob Leigh (letters) gathers together some of Batman's rogues gallery to fight the oppressive Magistrate. Two-Face, Mr. Zsasz, Dr. Phosphorus, Killer Croc and other ex-inmates of Arkham Asylum are being lead by an armoured Astrid Arkham. It's super villains being super heroes.

 Future State: The Next Batman #2 - John Ridley (writer) Nick Derington (breakdowns) Laura Braga (art) Arif Prianto (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). We learn the secret identity of the new caped Batman in this issue. It's Lucas Fox's brother. He has a brother? This also has three new back-up stories.

"Batgirls" is by Vita Ayala (writer) Aneke (art) Trish Mulvihill (colours) & Becca Carey (letters). Batgirl/Orphan Cassandra Cain gets locked up in the Magistrate Detention Facility where both good guys/white hats and bad guys/black coats are incarcerated. She got caught on purpose because her mission is to find Oracle and Batman and free them. She gets help from Spoiler who is queen of the inmates. In this reality Cass is way more articulate than she used to be. I didn't like that. I also didn't like that in the other Future State stories the Magistrate foot soldiers have a shoot to kill order for any masks that they encounter. Why are all of these masks alive? Anyways, this part ends with the white hats and black coats forming an alliance so Cass can get on with her mission.

"Gotham City Sirens: Ladies' Night Out" is by Paula Sevenbergen (writer) Rob Haynes (breakdowns) Emanuela Lupacchino (pencils) Wade von Grawbadger (inks) John Kalisz (colours) Becca Carey (letters). Catwoman and Poison Ivy spring a domestic droid named Dee Dee (get it?) from servitude and they have a night on the town at a bar. The bar is run by Sam Bradley and both super heroes and villains can imbibe in peace. Fans of Sex and the City may like this. Not a lot of drama until the last page when the joint is raided by Magistrate goons and major characters are shot.

 Future State: The Next Batman #3 - John Ridley (writer) Nick Derington (breakdowns) Laura Braga (art) Arif Prianto (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). This is the "uh-oh" moment in the story where the hero is felled by the villain. A wounded Batman is attacked by the murderer he's trying to bring to justice. I saw that coming.

I like the change with Black Lightning in the Outsiders back-up.

I like the art in the Arkham Knights back-up even though the dialogue is eye roll inducing.

 Future State: The Next Batman #4 - Jace/Batman lives, as if that was in any doubt. This story would have been a lot more interesting if Bruce/Batman was really dead. Even if the Future State line of comics dies out this Next Batman is a cop out. The Batgirls story ends with Cassandra/Orphan saving Barbara/Oracle and the Resistance gaining ground on the Magistrates. The Gotham City Sirens story ends with Catwoman and Poison Ivy helping the Resistance get an advantage in their war with the Cybers thanks to Dee Dee.

 I admit that I was sucked in by the hype for this mini. The Next Batman being black intrigued me. The story itself was meh and I would not have missed anything by not reading it. I was not engaged as a mature reader but I think someone in their teens might like all the stories in these four issues.

1917 08 Desperate maneuvers - Russell Smith

In the last week of August 1917 there was little aerial activity due to the bad weather. For this reason, Otto Fuchs made use of an afternoon free from rain and storm for an orientation flight in the area behind the front with the pilots newly transferred to the Staffel, Lt. Rudolf von der Horst and Lt. Kurt Katzenstein, during which he flew his "red F". He reported regarding this orientation flight: When we had reached flight altitude it became more and more unpleasant. Heavy gusts of wind and an ever darkening sky heralded a strong summer storm. I became concerned about my two inexperienced pilots and decided to leave the altitude of about 3000 meters and to return to Phalempin in a descending flight. Suddenly the black layer of clouds tore open, rays of sunlight shortly appeared, and I spotted a group of English fighter planes above us, who were apparently likewise on the way home due to the storm. From their superior position the Englishmen immediately went over to the attack and dove down upon us. Since I was flying higher than the two novices as protection, I was the first to be attacked by two Englishmen, and immediately let myself spin down. While the bank of clouds approached threateningly, I was forced down lower and lower by my pursuers. I attempted to evade my pursuers while under constant fire, finally at the height of the tree tops. Again and again strong gusts of wind shifted my Albatros over several meters, so that I was afraid of ramming into a tree or a building. My machine had already been hit several times, when suddenly a hazy wall of rain appeared before me. This was my salvation: I flew right into the wall of rain and immediately pulled the stick upwards in order not to crash into a tower or a tree. In the heavy rain shower I spotted a meadow below me and began to land. While doing so, my Albatros was pretty well wrecked.When Otto Fuchs returned to Phalempin, soaked through and covered in mud, he discovered to his relief that his two comrades had also survived the air combat unharmed. Kurt Katzenstein had landed smoothly on the airfield with a few hits in his machine, while Rudolf von der Horst had been forced to make an emergency landing in his Albatros D.V with a shot-up engine. After this experience, Otto Fuchs decided never again to use a letter as his personal marking.

Ein kleiner Linux Vergleich!

Kubuntu gegen Fedora.

Hallo aus Uruguay, vor einigen Tagen erzählte ich hier von dem Malheur welches mir nach einen plötzlichen Stromausfall mit meinem PC passierte. Nicht ging mehr und eine Neuinstallation war wohl der einfachste Weg. Und genau das habe ich getan. Ich habe mir ein neues und frisches Linux aufgesetzt. Dieses Mal aber bin ich von Kubuntu weg gegangen und habe mir Fedora installiert. Nach einigen Tagen nun an denen ich mit Fedora arbeite muss ich sagen es war eine gute Entscheidung.

3 Monitore mit der Core I7 CPU. Fedora macht insgesamt einen irgendwie einfacheren Eindruck als Kubuntu. Ding bei denen ich mir in Kubuntu schwer getan habe gehen unter Fedora recht einfach. Im Aussehen allerdings gibt es keine großen Unterschiede, denn das Aussehen des Dektop kann man sich aj individuell einrichten. Die Schritte sind bei beiden Systeme dazu die gleichen. Der größte Unterschied, bei dem na sich auch umgewöhnen muss, sind die Befehle auf der Kommandozeilen Ebene, als dem Terminal Fenster oder für die Windowsuser auf der CMD Ebene welche dem guten alten DOS Fenster entspricht. Unterschiede deshalb, weil Kubuntu ein Debian System und Fedora ein Red Hat System ist. Allerdings sind diese Unterschiede recht klein und betreffen nur die Installationsbefehle für die Programme welche man benötigt.  So nennen sich die Pakete unter Debian ".dep" und bei Fedora ".rpm". Auch wenn offensichtlich im Ergebnis Beides gleich ist funktioniert das Eine nicht beim Anderen. Bei Kubuntu kann man mit "apt install" installieren was bei Fedora dann wieder "yum install" heißt. Was mir allerdings am meisten aufgefallen ist, und das ist wahrscheinlich der Vorteil von Ubuntu/Kubuntu, ist die überaus gute Dokumentation. Für alles findet man bei diesem System eine Hilfe, das deutsch sprachige Forum ist über die Jahre hinweg überaus umfangreich und man findet wirklich für alles eine Lösung. Dem hinkt Fedora hinterher. Dennoch ist im Fedora Einiges einfacher gelöst. Otto Normaluser kann eigentlich mit eine neu installierten Umgebung direkt anfangen. da fehlt nichts und auch alles wird direkt eingebunden. Hier muss man keine Datei bearbeiten wenn man eine 2. oder gar 3. Festplatte eingebaut hat. Die findet Fedora von alleine und bindet die nach einer eventuellen Passworteingabe auch selbständig ein. Die Hardwareanforderungen sind auch für ältere Computer geeignet. Die Speicherverwaltung des Systems, Kubuntu bracht mich immer an der Rand der Speicherauslastung und das trotz eingebauten 16 Gigabyte RAM und ausreichend großer Auslagerungsdatei (Swap). In Fedora bei gleicher Nutzung, ja mein Verhalten ändert sich eben nicht, geht der Rechner so gut wie nie in die Auslagerungsdatei. Der eingebaute RAM wird gerade mal mit weniger als 50% genutzt. Das finde ich erstaunlich.

Gute Ram Verwaltung Auch die Aktualisierungen des System an sich von Fedora her funktionieren besser und regelmäßiger als unter Kubuntu. Ebenso wir standardmäßig neuere Software angeboten. So zum beispiel Gimp in der neusten 2.10 Version welche ich bei Kubuntu niemals angeboten und schon garnicht anständig zum Laufen brachte nachdem ich sie mir mühevoll installiert hatte.  So blieb es bei der 2.08 Version zum arbeiten. Mein Fazit. Es wurde wohl mal Zeit für einen Wechsel. Bereut habe ich es bisher noch nicht. Müsste ich nochmals zwischen den beiden Systemen wählen, ich würde wieder zu Fedora greifen. Zumal dieses auch noch von zu Hause aus mit einer Firewall ausgestattet ist die man unter Ubuntu/Kubuntu suchen muss. Da wie man mir sagte, Ubuntu/Kubuntu mittlerweile auch wie Windows mit einer Phone Home Funktion ausgestattet sein soll darf es sich auch nicht mehr zu 100% Linux nennen. Während Fedora immer noch ein reinrassiges Linuxsytem ist. Liebe Grüße aus Uruguay Peter Read the full article

When Medical Line Becomes a Business Who Do Look First: "Patient or Revenue" ?

Since Healthcare Becomes a Business Who Do We look First: Patient or Revenue? The answer should be simple, but it is not, and it becomes more and more difficult as the medical industry continues to flourish. Everybody knows healthcare is more costly. And as science and technology continue to develop advancement, medical devices and treatments are becoming more complicated and absolutely more expensive. Even more, the costs are openly and artificially increasing in order to satisfy not only the medical service per se but also medical literacy, research, pharmaceutical industry earnings, luxurious hospital infrastructure, etc. The latest addition to the medical expense is the insurance industry profits. Globally, healthcare spending is growing but the rate is very much distinct and not necessarily exhibited in the quality of care or community health status.

For the relation between patient and specialist to even exist, few more additions are essential e.g. nurses, laboratory, drugstore and supplemental services, such as sanitation, laundry, catering, harmless/protection, IT, maintenance, etc. When Healthcare Becomes a Business Game, Who Do We Defend First: Patient or Income? The more complicated the arrangements are, the larger the professionals/managerial team, including Humen Resources, Sales & Marketing, quality control, and so on and so ahead, will be. All these are built and nurtured by patient-doctor binomial. From the commercial point of view, a healthcare actuality can be categorized as either non-profit (usually administered by a government) or profit-making (typically private). While the non-profit sanitariums largely accept and treat all arrays of age/social/diagnostics and diversity of patients, the profit-making hospitals have the inclination to treat selected community groups.

While the non-profit infirmaries – under the umbrella of national plans – concentrate to reduce charges and maximize people health, the profit-making hospitals focus on decreasing costs and maximizing profits. Even so, the diversity in the strategic targets should not affect the quality of clinical care. In many European countries, stringent laws and regulations assure that profit healthcare organizations are not a fulmination for medical ethics, traditional purpose, and values of healthcare, and the freedom and prototypes of the medical profession. So, Who Is Paying? There are over 200 nations on our planet and each strife with its own healthcare problems and detriment cover. In some countries, the burden is shared between the patient and the state government in different layers of participation. In others, the patients cover all treatment expenses through lifetime installments paid by taxes or insurance companies, or ad-hoc at the time of service.

Generally, there are four regularities which are applied with some confined variations: The Beveridge Model It is called after William Beveridge, the social reformer who produced Britain’s National Health Service (NHS). In this system, healthcare is administered and financed by the government through tax payments, just like the police organization. Many, but not all, hospitals are declared as owned by the government or government enterprise subsidiaries. If you talk about in India there are various government hospitals such as AIIMS, Safdarjung, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya, and other state govt. hospital with the name of Gandhi's, Nehrus. You find some hospitals that known as a traditional name like Shivaji, Deen Dayal, or so on. In Britain, you never perceive a doctor’s bill. These systems manage to beget low costs per capita, because of the government. As the sole payer constrains what doctors can do and what they can impose. Countries using the Beveridge scheme or alterations of it include Great Britain, Spain, most of Scandinavia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. Cuba represents the ultimate application of the Beveridge approach; it is probably the world’s purest model of total government administration to control. The Bismarck Model It is nominated after Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who invented the welfare state as the hero of the alliance of Germany in the 19th century. This system works with an insurance system – the insurers are called “sickness funds” – customarily financed jointly by companies and their employees through payroll concluding. Bismarck-type health insurance policies have to cover everybody, and they don’t make earnings. Doctors and hospitals perform to be private, but strong regulation proffers the government much of the cost-control clout comparable to the single-payer Beveridge Model. The Bismarck model is obtained in Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Japan, Switzerland, and, to an extent, in Latin America. The National Health Insurance Model (NHI) This practice has components of both Beveridge and Bismarck. It uses private-sector healthcare providers, but payment originates from a government-run insurance programme that every citizen participates to pay into. Since there’s no requirement for marketing, no financial motive to refuse claims and no profit, these worldly insurance programmes tend to be cheaper and much easier administratively than American-style for-profit insurance policies. The individual payer tends to have the considerable syndicate power to negotiate for lower prices. The classic NHI system is attained in Canada, with variants in Taiwan and South Korea. The Out-of-Pocket Model Only the developed, industrialized nations – reasonably 40 of the world’s 200 nations – have discovered healthcare systems. This model applies to most of the countries that are too weak and too disorganized to implement any kind of mass medical care. The fundamental rule in such peoples is that the rich get medical care; the poor stay sick, die, or have some medical care depending on urgency and capacity to afford. Where Does The Doctor Stand? The intellectual, emotional and psychological hurdles a doctor faces day-by-day are extremely complicated. Medical decision is one of the most serious brain processes, involving memory, situational analysis, observations, emotions and sometimes abilities, not to mention that this practice is done multiple times in a day in an anticipated empathic way. There is an extension to education, teaching, coaching and leading/managerial exercises. New applied technologies challenge one of the fastest professional adaptation.

This is a field where quality is necessitated to the highest and there is no place for error or second chance. Historically, the doctor-patient relationship was built on equal trust and demand. A doctor had a large grade of autonomy and his/her name or reputation was mostly based on clinical outcomes, ethical behavior, and social recognition. As societies developed, the health methods changed gradually to an extent where the doctor becomes a crushed zone between the patients and the medical industries. While the sufferer is interested to have the best feasible care provided at the lowest possible cost, the institution is interested to have the lowest possible costs for the unit of care. Even a non-profit corporation wants to be on an accurate financial balance. When the hospital is a profit-making industry, the financial requirement is significantly higher. The doctor is confronted with the predicament of being a patient advocate but at the corresponding time needing to respect and represent the sanitarium interests. Although intermediary compositions were designed to ease medical describing and deal with the revenue, they are rarely appropriately and competently staffed or have sufficient expertise. They usually have limited judgment making authority and ultimately refer all problematical cases back to doctors. To make things serious, financial inducements often challenge the ethical balance. Performance incentives influence (mostly volumes without quality), covert kickbacks from suppliers, research temptations etc., become daily perils to medical ethics and morality. How Is A Patient Protected? Over time, several mechanisms were designed to safeguard the patient during the tenure of medical care. They are all oriented towards medical units directed by doctors. Each hospital, each national policy-maker or administrator, generate an impressive amount of quality controls and indicators to protect the patient once medical care has been admitted. Failure of health due to medical error is amply scrutinized, and ultimately, guilty or not, doctors normally suffer the blame. There is no mechanism to evaluate or ensure the quality of medical care when there is no actual treatment suggested. This means nobody can protect the patient against obstacles and barriers in accessing medical relief. Unaffordable medical care or denial of treatment from insurance companies make far more sacrifices to victims than medical errors, and no one quantifies aforementioned. How Are Hospitals Assuring Revenue Protection? Both non-profit and profit, hospitals aim for a convinced financial balance. Multiple services, internal or commissioned, were put in the position to ensure this task. The more sophisticated and accountable the service, the higher costs for operation. Mind that this operational amount is paid by the doctor’s service, which the doctor will eventually be scrutinized on for productivity. Positive and negative stimuli were created in order to stimulate doctors to work laboriously. Enforcing volumes before quality typically encourages income but is detrimental to clinical accuracy and evidence-based best mode. Whenever a profit insurance company is co-operating with a profit hospital and either of them has extraordinarily high revenue, there will be a large element of suspension, mistrust, and distrust. Who Is Protecting The Doctors? Interestingly, in spite of having least or no quantitative scapegoats for doctors in public sector and self-imposed plans in private division, the majority of European nations grant own the most developed health systems (WHO Report 2000, 21 amid first 25 are European). The U.S., where the productivity fascination applies, maintains the 37th position worldwide while having the largest spending. In the preponderance of European countries, there are professional groups (physician colleges or councils) that are commissioned to judge medical errors. They are self-governing, and their expert verdict cannot be overruled by individual hospitals, Ministry of Health or even any court. Unless the intentional crime is confirmed, a doctor cannot be assessed under criminal laws.

These are further countries where physicians feel common secure and protected. In the U.S., in case of a medical claim, the hospital’s argument strategy may or may not include a doctor, depending on the commercial loss. Reloading the primary question, the answer should be mild, but it is not. It is consequently fair to say that every system has and may exercise enough tools to promote and protect doctors in making the right determination. References free available on appeal.

This is it.... the final, last chapter for Bots Bounties and Babes. The Epilogue: Not Alone. Thank you all so much who have read all the way to the end.  This was my longest public project ever to date, and I’ve made so many friends in the Inscryption fandom from this story.  I’ve been in it for a bit over a year now, and in a lot of ways the people I’ve met have become like a little family to me.  I want to thank all of them for being there for me.  Inspiring me.  Encouraging me.  And accepting me.  Prior to me falling into this fandom, I’d been burnt out for a long time.  And every laugh, chat, or cry we’ve shared together has brought so much color back into my world.  They…  all of you, make me wanna keep trying my best and not give up on my dreams, despite my age, anxieties, and fears. Thank you…  Thank all of you from the bottom, middle, and top of my heart.  If I could express it more in any other way I would.  But you’ve done so much for me.  More than you could ever know.  Thank you <3 And for those who are sad to see this story finally come to an end, I do have some news. I’ve said numerous times, this had intended to be much longer.  But without the co-author, it just didn’t feel right to carry it on without them.  So I’m rebooting all of this into a webcomic series of my very own. With a different cast of characters!  This way I can continue the story as I see fit, and not give up on the world that was built.  So after a lot of trial and error, I’m very happy to bring you the two lead characters of the story.  Please give a warm welcome to DAL-S and Aiken Hopper!!! 

Some of the similarities are easy to draw out.  But one thing was going to be for sure.  I intend to keep P03’s little pointy lip as an homage to him.  If you’re curious about progress on the comic, please follow me on my tumblr to check in on the progress of the story.  I still have a couple of titles in the works, but will make the cover once I’ve decided on it.  Also there are only 10 prints left of Cowboy P03 up for sale in my shop!  However there might be another appearing in the near future ;). Thank you again so much.  To those who read, gave kudos, made art, reblogged, commented, supported, and never left me behind.  I hope I can keep making you all happy with my work for a long time to come.  It’s my dream to.  So once more, thank you. With the Utmost Sincerity, Yoshi

Akku Toshiba PA5024U-1BRS notebooksakku.com

Dockt man die magnetisch haftende Tastatur-Schutzhülle ab, wechselt Windows 10 in den Tablet-Modus. Als Tablet benutzt, bläst Windows 10 das Startmenü auf Vollbild auf und blendet den Desktop aus. Windows 10 ist spätestens seit dem neusten Creators Update gut für die Bedienung mit Fingern und insbesondere Digital-Stift optimiert, aber iOS und Android sind allein schon wegen der weit besseren App-Auswahl die besseren Betriebssysteme für Tablets.

Umgekehrt ist das Surface Pro mit Windows 10 und allen notwendigen Anschlüssen für den Bürobetrieb jedem Tablet als Arbeitsgerät meilenweit überlegen. Wer mit dem Surface vor allem arbeiten möchte – ob unterwegs oder im Büro – und es nur gelegentlich als Tablet nutzt, kann bedenkenlos zugreifen.

Der digitale Zeichenstift war beim Surface Pro 4 noch dabei, beim neuen Modell muss er separat gekauft werden. Der leicht überarbeite Pen schlägt mit rund 110 Franken zu Buche. Das fast gleich gute Vorgänger-Modell bekommt man nun ab etwa 60 Franken.

Der Aufpreis lohnt sich nur für professionelle Anwender. Diese können den neuen Pen zum Beispiel neigen, um Zeichnungen wie mit einem Graphitstift zu schattieren. Andere Funktionen wie austauschbare Stiftspitzen (Fineliner) oder radieren mit dem Stift-ende bietet auch der günstigere Pen.

Ehrlich gesagt bin ich erstaunt, wie gut man auf dem dünnen Type Cover schreiben kann. Tippen fühlt sich von Anfang an genauso komfortabel an wie bei einem Laptop. Unabhängige Tester attestieren Microsoft immer wieder, mit dem Type Cover die beste Tastatur für 2-in-1-Geräte zu haben. Mangels Erfahrung mit Alternativen kann ich dies weder bestätigen noch dementieren, aber angenehm, leise und treffsicher schreiben lässt sich darauf auf jeden Fall. Mit der Hintergrundbeleuchtung kann auch im Dunkeln bequem getippt werden.

Persönlich konnte ich keinen (signifikanten) Unterschied zum bisherigen Type Cover ausmachen – was eine gute Nachricht ist. Microsofts Kombination aus Schutzhülle und Tastatur ist nach fünf Jahren stetiger Optimierung nahezu perfekt. Sie ist dünn, leicht, trotzdem stabil und lässt sich dank Magneten rasch an- und abheften.

Privat habe ich viele Jahre ein MacBook benutzt, weil Apples Touchpad einfach besser war als bei den meisten Windows-Laptops. Das kleine Touchpad der älteren Surface-Geräte war dann auch ein Grund, warum ich nie ein Surface Pro gekauft habe. Auch dieses Manko hat Microsoft inzwischen ausgemerzt.

Seit dem Surface Pro 4 von 2015 ist das Touchpad vernünftig gross und erkennt Wischgesten mit mehreren Fingern schnell und präzise. Daran hat sich zum Glück nichts geändert. Das Touchpad ist nach wie vor etwas kleiner als bei einem MacBook oder Surface Book, scrollen mit zwei Fingern und andere Wischgesten mit mehreren Fingern funktionieren aber genau so geschmeidig wie bei grösseren Laptops.

Wo viel Licht ist, ist auch Schatten. Und wenn das Surface Pro eine Achillesferse hat, dann ist es der Akku. Beim Vorgängermodell war er je nach Nutzungsverhalten nach 6 bis 7 Stunden erschöpft, beim neuen Surface Pro hält er 1,5 bis 2 Stunden länger. Dies dürfte primär an der neuen Prozessor-Generation (Intel-Kaby-Lake) liegen, die offenbar etwas weniger Energie benötigt.

Im Alltagstest des Schweizer Computer-Magazins PCTipp geht dem Surface nach 8:43 Stunden die Energie aus. Im Ausdauertest des auf Laptoptests spezialisierten Magazins LaptopMag macht das Surface nach 7:30 Stunden schlapp. Für ein so dünnes Gerät ist das ok, aber kein Vergleich zu den 9 bis 14 Stunden, die der ebenfalls neue Surface Laptop liefert.

Ich habe das Modell mit i7-Prozessor, 16 GB RAM und 512 GB Speicher (SSD) getestet, das ohne Cover-Tastatur und Stift direkt bei Microsoft 2449 Franken kostet. Für Otto Normalverbraucher mit dem nötigen Kleingeld ist das i5-Modell mit 8 GB Arbeitsspeicher für knapp 1500 Franken mehr als genug schnell.

Wer das Surface Pro lediglich für Programme wie Microsoft Office oder den Webbrowser nutzt, sollte sich zwischen den beiden günstigsten Modellen entscheiden. Die teuren i7-Modelle sind für professionelle Nutzer gedacht.

Wer das Surface Pro vor allem unterwegs nutzen möchte, sollte allenfalls mit dem Kauf noch etwas zuwarten. Microsoft hat eine LTE-Version angekündigt, mit der man auch über das Mobilfunknetz ins Internet kann.

Mit Preisen zwischen 949 und 3099 Franken ist das Surface Pro kein Schnäppchen, zumal die fast unverzichtbare Cover-Tastatur je nach Ausführung 110 bis 180 Franken extra kostet. Ein Surface Pen, den allerdings längst nicht jeder braucht, erhöht den Gesamtpreis nochmals um 60 bis 110 Franken. Die gute Nachricht: Wer bereits ein Surface Pro 3 oder 4 hat, kann Tastatur, Stift oder Docking Station auch mit dem neuen Modell verwenden. Im Handel wird es das Surface Pro vermutlich auch als Set mit Type Cover und Pen zu attraktiveren Preisen geben. Zudem gibt es Rabatte für Studenten.

Wie immer gilt: Microsofts Surface-Geräte sind allgemein auf der teuren Seite, der Kunde profitiert aber auch von mehreren Vorteilen: Gute Verarbeitungsqualität, attraktives Design, schnelle Updates und keine vorinstallierte Bloatware. Dafür zahlt man auch etwas mehr als bei der Konkurrenz.

Ed Annink

Ed Annink. Diseñador gráfico, de productos, curador y docente.

Ed Annink (1956, Utrecht – 2012, Amsterdam, Holanda) fue muy activo en diseño gráfico, ambiental y de muebles, donde se distinguió por la nitidez de sus proyectos, la poesía de su enfoque y la funcionalidad de sus productos.

De 1976 a 1978 Ed Annink estudió en la Escuela de Orfebrería en Schoonhoven.

De 1980 a 1985 siguió su formación como diseñador de muebles en la Real Academia de Arte y Diseño en La Haya, graduándose Cum Laude en el departamento de Diseño de Muebles y Arquitectura Interior.

Ed Annink fue cofundador y director creativo del estudio holandés Ontwerpwerk y realizó numerosos trabajos como director de arte y curador.

Creó productos para el mercado de consumo internacional con marcas como: Droog; Driade; Authentics; Royal VKB; Purple South; Kwantum y Nexus.

Siempre combinó la actividad del diseñador de productos, exposiciones y eventos con su papel como consultor y asesor para muchos institutos de diseño en los Países Bajos y en otras partes del mundo.

Pero Annink siempre involucró a otros y también buscó el contacto con diseñadores amigos y contemporáneos -en su mayoría diseños únicos o de pequeña producción- dentro de la gama del diseño holandés más radicalmente innovador.

En 1985 el Centraal Museum de Utrecht invitó a Annink a establecer una Sala/habitación de estilo posmoderno.

Ed Annink diseñó muchos de los objetos que expuso en esta sala, donde colocó un enorme espejo. Los visitantes se veían a sí mismos y a la vez los objetos también se veían reflejados.

Diseñó el piso, la mesa y el aparador; y en el medio de la habitación había un aspirador naranja esférico, como si el residente acabara de salir de la habitación.

Ed Annink agregó dos sillas del siglo XVIII de la colección del museo para indicar que cada diseño puede ser intemporal y atemporal.

Esta habitación es característica de la forma de trabajar de Annink. Sorprendente y alegre, es a la vez un incentivo para pensar/reflexionar sin ser pedante ya que “el diseño no puede florecer sin discusión y diálogo“.

A raíz de su muerte, a partir del 13 de octubre de 2012, esta sala se volvió a exhibir durante algunas semanas.

Gracias a la iniciativa de Ed Annink se publicaron libros, se organizaron exposiciones y se hicieron accesibles al público muchos archivos del patrimonio cultural holandés.

En abril de 2002 publicó el libro “Annink, designer” en Milán, y en septiembre de 2003 “Mentes brillantes, bellas ideas” fue el título del libro y la exposición comisariada por Annink para Experimentadesign biënnale en Lisboa, donde se combinaron las obras de Bruno Munari; Charles y Ray Eames; Martí Guixé y Jurgen Bey.

“Este título simboliza su entusiasmo e iniciativas“, dicen desde Ontwerpwerk, el estudio de diseño cofundado por Annink.

Fue co-fundador y presidente de los productos de la Fundación de la Imaginación, que iniciaba y organizaba proyectos de diseño y publicaciones internacionales.

Dirigió talleres internacionales para Vitra Design Museum y fue director del Máster de experiencia y diseño de escenarios funlab en el Design Academy of Eindhoven.

La última vez que Annink trabajó para el Centraal Museum de Utrecht tuvo lugar en el contexto de la segunda edición del “Manifiesto de Utrecht” en 2007-2008.

Como superintendente, fue responsable del contenido -junto con Max Bruinsma– de la exhibición de la obra de Gerd Arntz y Otto Neurath.

Uno de sus proyectos más recientes fue “Design Den Haag 2010-2018“, un programa de diez años para promover el diseño en la formulación de políticas europeas, consiguiendo forjar vínculos entre el diseño y el gobierno en Europa.

Esta investigación fue una de las muchas misiones de Ed Annink que, con su energía y generosidad constantes, pudo conectar diferentes mundos.

Ed Annink creó el programa de exposiciones para la primera edición en 2010 (en Den Haag y Berlín).

Para Max Bruinsma (crítico de diseño, curador y editor) Ed Annink era: “Alegre, juvenil, social, creativo y lleno de energía, Ed Annink fue un gran colega y amigo para muchos en el mundo del diseño holandés“.

Según Bruinsman tenía (al menos) dos talentos aparentemente opuestos; era un visionario apasionado y un gerente estricto. Una combinación rara, ciertamente en el campo cultural.

“Una de las muchas cosas que admiro en Ed es que él no solo tenía estas dos personalidades, sino que podía conectarlas de manera muy productiva. El hombre apasionado de ideas y el gerente enfocado asociaba lo lúdico y una logística sin fisuras“.
