The study shows that if all hospitals matched the performance of the country’s most cost-efficient hospitals, there would be $8 billion in Medicare savings each year. The study analyzed data from more than 3,000 hospitals, looking at how much Medicare was billed and comparing that to how many patients died, both 30 and 90 days from admission.Īmong hospitals with average 30-day mortality rates, costs ranged from $9,000 to $27,000 per patient.

But then, I saw what this game really is, and after I discovered that playing this game brings you more stress than joy, I deleted it and never came back to play it. When I just began, I saw only the best sides of gameplay, what raised the bar of expected quality to high. Overall, the game is rather disappointing at the moment.

ICU collapsing patients are not treated by nearest doctor, doctors go on breaks when they are needed the most in a way like this: There is no logic in shared units choice. Treatments and diagnostic procedures work the same way, but sometimes, as some of them can be done without stupid system of transportation. Moreover, if multiple surgeons are needed, surgeons will not perform them at once, even if the patient is collapsing, and this makes me feel furious. Operations do not reveal symptoms, for example after opening the chest of patient in order sew up patient’s lung, surgeons will not reveal damage of arteries and will not sew them up. Operations and treatment is another level of stupidity. does not prioritize at all, for example, collapsing patient with multiple life threatening symptoms will not be examined on MRI before queue with low risk patients or will not be operated before a patient with planed operation with low risk. So why my rating is only 3/10? The answer is A.I. Also somewhat decent building system, which, despite the fact it has super dumb turning system and most of objects are just decorations, still meets expectations. Nice development of diseases and their symptoms, for example, your patient may fall unconscious from dehydration or blood loss.

![]() The Carolina Shag is a slotted dance that has elements of both West and East Coast swing. Carolina Shag (Swing Dance)īrennar and Autumn dancing Carolina Grand Nationals 2014 One can still find Lindy Hop dancng and dancers across the globe. It has lasted for over a decade and a half and is still going strong. Hence, this period is sometimes called the Neo-swing era. Additionally, the “Swing Revival” of the early two-thousands introduced many new swing dancers to the Lindy Hop. Finally, it disappeared all together until it was brought back in the late 1990’s by a group of swing dancers who brought Frankie Manning out of retirement to promote it. Eventually, the Lindy Hop evolved over the years from Savoy style to smooth or Hollywood style, then into other forms like East Coast swing. Moreover, some of the earliest filmed Lindy hoppers were Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers including Frankie Manning. Lindy Hop is the original swing dance that developed in the 1920’s during the Swing Era in New York. The International Lindy Hop Championships ILHC 2014 In addition, the musicians added a triple rhythm to the music and the swing dancers incorporated it into their dancing in the 1920’s, read more about the Evolution Of Swing Dancing here!

Schools remain closed in phase 1, but large venues such as movies theaters, restaurants, stadiums, and places of worship can open with " strict physical distancing protocols." Non-essential travel should be minimized, telework should be encouraged, and common areas in offices closed. In the first phase of re-opening, the guidelines say groups of more than 10 people should be avoided if appropriate distancing measures are not practical. The document says the recommendations are "implementable on a statewide or county-by-county basis at governors' discretion." Trump has tussled with governors over who has the ultimate authority to mandate a re-opening of states' economies. ![]() States should have the ability to set up screening and testing sites for people with symptoms and as well as contact tracing capabilities, and healthcare facilities should be able to supply personal protective gear independently and handle surges if COVID-19 cases increase again.

The new federal guidelines recommend that states record a 14-day "downward trajectory" in coronavirus cases before beginning a three-phase process of re-opening. "A prolonged lockdown combined with a forced economic depression would inflict an immense and wide-ranging toll on public health," Trump said, adding it could lead to a sharp rise in drug abuse, alcohol abuse, suicide, heart disease." ![]() If this was an industry trend, the tide is turning back, and NI seems to have thrown their lot in with spinning jog crowd. Native Instruments famously tried to replace the jog wheel on the S8 and S5, offering more buttons, screens, and space instead. These changes and more bring this Traktor controller more in line with current industry standards, making it a solid choice for most DJs. In almost every case, the changes seem to be for the better – although they take some getting used to. The controller also makes it realistic to use Remix and Stem Decks with limited controls and a fun new feature that will bring basic sequencing to most DJ sets.įinally, with a big quality update to the sound card and internal audio summing model, you will also probably notice a nice improvement to sound quality. NI has also done a radical facelift on this version, completely re-thinking the layout, design language, and functionality. The S4 honors the turntable legacy with high performance spinning platters that work surprisingly well with limited weight and size – most spinning platter controllers are much larger and heavier. It has has taken all the learning from their last five large controllers and condensed it into one go-to flagship operation.

![]() Then you can leave your table decor in place, and don’t need to worry about moving different pieces. Try also having one area to serve your main Thanksgiving dinner. I love using white dishes because I can include a variety of decorations, and I can use them all year long. ![]() Select certain serving dishes to enhance your design when serving your dinner. ![]() Look at your centerpiece, and identify ways you can incorporate it when preparing for your meal. When it comes to holiday planning, it’s the little details that make the day special. Now that you have your Thanksgiving table checked off the list, it’s now time to prepare for the meal. Incorporate the patterns, metallics, and wood features because it will not only be inviting, but can be a conversation piece, and you can sit back and relax knowing you created a space for everyone to feel loved and cherished. You want your table to make a statement as it is the centerpiece of your house and have your guests be awed by your breathtaking design. It will not only add to your table, but will freshen up the look without burning a hole in your wallet. Simply add different chargers, patterned small plates, and napkins that you can change seasonally. White plates are a versatile, cost-effective way to add different design features that will not break the bank. Second, your main Thanksgiving dishes should be white. This will not only provide different textures, but will also help your design to pop. Next, get in on the latest trend by incorporating metallics or wood features around your table design. If your decor has cool colors, add a little warmth into the design, and the opposite advice if you have mainly warm colors. When selecting fall decorations, look around your room, and identify the main colors you would like to use. However, if you have a rectangular table, you want to “spread the wealth” in two or three sections of the table. If your dining room table is circular, you want to create a design with one focal point that looks up. This ultimately makes sense when measuring the length or diameter of your table. If you have trouble, you can lay out painters tape which will give you exact dimensions. The invisible line will appear when you either “cut” the table in half or in thirds with your eye. When designing the layout of your table, you want to determine the invisible line. Not only will that set the mood for preparations, but it will also be so inviting for your family. You can have your dining room table dressed days or weeks before you even grocery shop for the Thanksgiving dinner. The best time-saving tip is to plan out your Thanksgiving table décor in advance. ![]() If you try the same thing using a tar.xz file, you’ll find that it doesn’t work. Extracting them is as simple as passing xzf to tar. Traditionally compressed archive files are distributed on Linux systems as tar.gz files which use gzip for compression. Decompressing TAR and TAR.GZ files is only a matter of few clicks using the GUI.This guide will show you how to extract a tar.xz file on CentOS or RedHat, and probably other flavors of Linux as well. Most Linux distributions ship with a preinstalled archive manager. To extract a TAR.GZ archive directly using a single command: 7z x -so | 7z x -si -ttar Extract TAR and TAR.GZ Graphically The basic syntax is: 7z x archive.tarįor TAR.GZ files, you will have to unzip the compressed archive to TAR, and then further extract the TAR file using 7-Zip. You can also extract a compressed archive using 7-Zip. tar -xvzf -exclude=/Downloads -exclude=file1.txt Unzip TAR and TAR.GZ Files With 7-Zip Use the -exclude flag to specify the names of the files that you don't want to extract. Similarly, you can unzip specific directories from the archive as well. To do so, simply pass the file names with the default command. You can choose which files to extract from the archive. where z, t, v, and f stand for gzip, List, Verbose, and Filename. To view the content of an archive prior to extracting it: tar -ztvf The aforementioned command will extract the file to the /Downloads folder. ![]() ![]() You can also unzip the content of the compressed file to a specific location as follows: tar -xvzf -C /Downloads To add the /Downloads directory to an archive using 7-Zip: where a denotes Add an archive, -t denotes the Type of file, and tar stands for the TAR file type. The basic syntax of creating a TAR file with 7-Zip is: 7z a -ttar archive.tar /folder To do so: tar -cvzf ~/Documents ~/Downloads file1.txt file2.txt Creating TAR and TAR.GZ Using 7-ZipĪn alternative way of creating TAR and TAR.GZ archives is by using 7-Zip. You can also compress multiple directories and files by creating a single tarball. To archive and compress the /Documents directory using tar: tar -cvzf ~/Documents Note that you need to pass the file extension (TAR or TAR.GZ) in the archive name as follows: tar -cvzf big-file.txt The c, v, z, and f flags used in the aforementioned command stand for Create, Verbose, gzip, and Filename. where archive is the name of the compressed file and filename/ directory is the file or directory you want to compress using tar. The basic syntax to create compressed tarballs using the tar command is: tar -cvzf archive filename This ensures that your backup remains unaffected and the files don't corrupt if anything breaks on your system. When you compress a TAR file using bzip2, the output file will have either of the following extensions: TAR.BZ2, TAR.BZ, or simply TBZ.Ĭreating archives is an important step when you're backing up your Linux file system.
![]() The alphabets h, k, and p stand for numbers that facilitate us with helpful information about the position of our parabola. The 4p in the standard form of the equation for a parabola is always with the section that is not squared. That said, these parabolas are all the more same, just that the x and y are swapped. These open on the x-axis, and thus the p-value is then added to the x value of our vertex Here, the focus point is provided by (h + p, k) Write equation for parabolas that open its way to sidewaysįor such parabolas, the standard form equation is (y - k)² = 4p x–hx–hx – h T These parabolas open on the y-axis, and thus the p-value is added to the y value of the vertex. Here, the focus point is provided by (h, k + p). Write an equation for parabolas that open its way to either up or downįor such parabolas, the standard form equation is x–hx–hx – h² = 4p y–ky–ky – k We basically have two different types of standard equations that differ depending on the direction of our parabola. Our equation relies on the Cartesian coordinate plane with the axis namely x and y. Let’s learn how to describe our parabola algebraically. The Equation for Parabola in Standard Form Thus, the parabola can be used for:įocusing the sun's rays to make a hot spot We wouldn't have the latest dish television facility either! Mobile phones and satellite television put satellites into execution in outer space that are parabolic-shaped. If there weren't any parabolas, we wouldn't have mobile and telecommunication services wherever we go. Now you will learn about parabolas and their standard form equations since these equations are quite frequently applicable in real life. Think of simply an arc and you will know what a parabola is. The shape of the parabola is what you see when you buy an ice cream cone and snip it off parallel to the side of the cone. Taken as known the focus (h, k) and the directrix y = mx+b, parabola equation is y−mx–by−mx–by - mx – b² / m²+1m²+1m² +1 = (x - h)² + (y - k)². Work up its side it becomes y² = x or mathematically expressed as y = \ The general equation of a parabola is y = x² in which x-squared is a parabola. That said, a parabola is a set of all points M(A, B) in a plane in a way that the distance from M to a definite point F known as the focus is equivalent to the distance from M to a definite line known as the directrix as shown below in the graph. Much the same as the circle, the parabola is also a quadratic relation, but different from the circle, either ‘A’ will be squared or ‘B’ will be squared, but never both. ![]() ![]() A parabola is a section of the right cone that is parallel to one side (a producing line) of the conic figure. |
