The funding will be used to acquire additional clinics accordingly. Funding preferred to a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, which the company explored. The terms of the funding round haven’t been finalized yet. Hence, it’s possible they could change.

Consequently, that arm of Blackstone will “employ a thematic approach to capitalize on powerful secular growth trends globally,” the firm said announcing Bommer’s hire in March.

The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Eren Bali. Furthermore, its other investors include Brookfield Technology Partners, DCVC, and Builders VC.

Secondly, its clinics provide primary care, urgent care services, and access to specialists in California, Alabama, Florida, Nevada, and New York. up till now, the company has administered about 1.5 million Covid-19 vaccines and about 730,000 tests, according to its website.
Moreover, the startup provides access to in-person and virtual care to “nearly two-thirds of the U.S,” according to a January press release. In November it said it planned to expand to 1,500 clinic locations over the next five years. The company’s insurance partners include Aetna, Anthem, Humana, and Cigna.

title: Types of astilbe

text:
The Astilbe is a deer-resistant, perennial plant that thrives in shady areas of the garden. Its fluffy plumes look like cotton candy and complement well other shade-tolerant plants like caladiums, hostas, and heucheras. Also, the Astilbe’s frilly, delicate foliage blends perfectly among lacy, verdant ferns. The pop of Astilbe color really makes a statement in shady gardens.
There are many different varieties of the Astilbe plant. Each variety has unique growing characteristics. The bloom time will vary according to variety as do the height and cluster size of each particular plant.
The following is a list of a few popular Astilbe plants
The award-winning Fanal produces dark red flowers and can grow up to 20 inches tall. It thrives all summer in both partial and full shade and prefers moist, nutrient-rich soil that drains well. Its bright color attracts butterflies and other pollinators. This perennial does not need to be deadheaded but should be divided every 3 to 4 years.
Astilbe ‘Jump and Jive’
The Jump and Jive begin to bloom in early to mid-summer and produces a dark pink flower. The plant grows up to 18 inches tall with a wide base of up to 24 inches. It prefers moist, rich soil and should be fertilized twice during its growing season. The Jump and Jive makes excellent ground cover around the borders of shade gardens.
Astilbe Simplicifolia (Astilbe sprite)
This dwarf Astilbe grows up to 18 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Its flowers are a warm, light pink that bow over as they grow taller. And its foliage is a bronze-like color. Like other Astilbe varieties, the simplicifolia Sprite thrives in the shady part of a garden and prefers moist soil. Its bloom time is late summer to early fall.
This plant blooms pink flowers in mid-summer. It typically stands up to 18 inches and spreads as wide as a foot and a half. It prefers shady environments but can tolerate a few hours of full sun in moderate climates. It thrives in moist, rich soil and does well either in a container or in the ground.
Astilbe Japonica ‘Montgomery’
A variety that blooms a vibrant magenta, the Montgomery should be planted in partial to full shade. However, it can tolerate partial sun in places where the summers are not hot. Be sure to keep its soil moist but well-drained. It can grow up to 24 inches tall and should be planted 18 to 24 inches apart. Its bloom time is early to mid-summer.
The Arendsii is a family of hybrid Astilbe. Most varieties of Arendsii prefer moist, well-drained soil. And they grow from 2 to 4 feet tall. Although mostly shade hardy, some Arendsii can tolerate full sun as long as their soil remains moist and the climate is not too hot. Arendsii bloom from late spring to early fall depending on the variety.
The Japanese Astilbe is also known as the Montgomery. It can tolerate both shade and sun conditions as long as the soil is kept moist and temperatures are not too extreme. The fragrant, deep magenta flowers attract many pollinators. Also, the plant is easy to maintain and resists predators.

This Yank Magazine article was written shortly after the U.S. Army's triumphant performance during the Battle of El Guettar in Tunisia (March 23 - April 7, 1943) and rambles on with much enthusiasm regarding the admirable performance of the M2 Half Tracks. Half Tracks were used on many fronts throughout the war and in many ways, yet as this article makes clear these armored vehicles at El Guettar were mounted with a field gun and used to devastating effect as tank-destroyers against the German 10th Panzer Division.
The writer, Ralph G. Martin
went on in later years to become a prolific historian and biographer.
Click here to read an article about German half-tracks.
Attached is black and white diagram of the Walther P-38 pistol, with all parts named.
This diagram, accompanied by a few paragraphs concerning it's unique characteristics, appeared in the American Army weekly YANK MAGAZINE, and was intended to be read by all those who were most likely to stand before the business end of this German side arm.
We regret that the scan is not very clear and should be printed for better viewing.
This article is illustrated with a photograph of the King Tiger tank and accompanied by some vital statistics and assorted observations that were documented by the U.S. Department of War and printed in one of their manuals in March of 1945:
"The king Tiger is a tank designed essentially for defensive warfare or for breaking through strong lines of defense. It is unsuitable for rapid maneuver and highly mobile warfare because of its great weight and and low speed...The King Tiger virtually is invulnerable to frontal attack, but the flanks, which are less well protected, can be penetrated by Allied antitank weapons at most normal combat ranges."
The American answer to the Tiger was the M26 Pershing Tank; read about it here.

Two black and white diagrams illustrating the unique features of the German Luger pistol appear alongside a brief history of the weapon. Additional information included in the article are operating instructions and "a table of characteristics" which lists assorted fun facts about the weapon; it's weight, length and range, as well as an explanation as to how the piece compares to the M1911 A1 Colt 45 (the standard issue side arm of the U.S. Army):
"Since 1908 the Luger pistol has been the official German military side arm. George Luger of the DWM Arms Company in Germany developed this weapon, known officially as "Pistole 08", from the American Borchart pistol invented in 1893"
The following notes, based on directions issued in 1943 by the German Army High Command, regarding the use and proper care of German infantry weapons during winter campaigns. The instructions in question concern:
• German Luger & Walther P38 pistols,
• the Gewehr 41 rifle, Gewehr 98,
• M.G. 34 light machine gun and the,
• M.G. 42 heavy machine guns.
The article is accompanied by illustrations of the snow sleds used to transport the German machine guns.

How to Check Directory Size in Ubuntu Command Line
Not getting the directory size with the ls command? Here's how to check the folder size in the Ubuntu command line.
The ls command shows the file size in human-readable format with ls -lh. However, the directory size is always displayed as 4k.
I'll explain the logic behind 4k directory size later. For now, the bigger question is how do you get the directory size in Ubuntu terminal?
Like most things in Linux, there are several ways to do it. Let's start with the 'official' command for checking the size of a directory.
Use the du command to check directory size in Ubuntu
The du (disk usage) command is a popular solution for checking directory sizes in Linux.
du [option] path_to_file_or_directory
For example, I will be getting details of Directory
and use -h
option to get output in human-readable form:
du -h Directory
But how could a directory containing one sub-directory worth 1.6 Gb can sum around 16 gigs? Because by default, it only shows details of sub-directories.
And by using -a
option, you can include files, making it a more sensible output:
du -ah Directory
Now, you can have a better idea of how it was sized around 16 gigs!
But the du command has a lot more to offer and if you want to utilize it to its max potential, I'd recommend checking out our detailed guide:
Use the tree command to check directory size in Ubuntu
You will find me using the tree command in various guides to show the file system in a hierarchy but it can also be used to get directory size.
By using --du
with the tree command, it will get you the total size of a directory including the size of every file and sub-directory present inside.
tree --du -h Directory/
And if you're curious why I used the -h
option here, it is for getting output in the human-readable form!
Use the ncdu utility to check directory size in Ubuntu
Built on top of du (which I discussed earlier), the ncdu
is an interactive and efficient way of checking disk space.
But it requires manual installation and can be done through the given command:
sudo apt install ncdu
Now, you just have to append the directory with the ncdu command:
Use the dust utility to check directory size in Ubuntu
You can think of dust as an enhanced version of tree utility that is specifically made for checking disk space.
It has a fascinating way of presenting data with graph and shows how many percent of the total size is occupied by a single file!
But you'd need to use the cargo package manager for installation and to set up cargo in Ubuntu, you can check out our detailed guide:
And here are quick 3 commands to install and setup cargo:
sudo apt install curl
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Once you are done with the setup, you can install dust by the given command:
cargo install du-dust
Now pair the name of the directory with the dust
Looks cool. Isn't it?
Through this guide, I explained multiple ways of checking directory size and the last two were my favorite ones as they went with a different approach.
Now coming back to the mystery of the 4K directory size the ls command shows. You know, a directory is simply a special file that has the details of where the files (inside the directory) are stored in the memory. The 4K is the block size of the system, and every file has this minimum block size.
And if you have any queries, make sure to leave a comment and I'll be there with answers.

title: Choosing the best waiheke island hotels

text:
Waiheke Island is the second largest island in the Gulf of New Zealand. People who have vacationed here have positive things to say about the island. Aside from boasting some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy on your stay here as well. Tourists can choose from a selection of wineries, soaking up the sunshine at top spots like Onetangi beach, or going on an Eco Zip adventure. For those who like taking it easy, the Waiheke golf club is worth a visit.
When it comes to accommodation, vacationers are really spoilt for choice. Whether you plan on staying for a single night, a week or a lengthy month there is a hotel to suit your personal preference and taste. They are a total of 46 hotels in Waiheke Island, and some of them offer discounts of up to 51%. Hotel rooms start from as little as 12 USD per night in Waiheke Island as well as surrounding areas. So depending on your personal preference, the number of people you are traveling with and budget you will definitely find the right hotel for you. Hotels are rated from two stars up to five stars, and as you would expect, the more stars a hotel receives, the more dollars you will pay per night.
Some of the basic amenities and facilities that you can expect in one of the hotels in Waiheke Island are gardens, self-serve laundry facilities, barbecue grills, luggage storage, free Wi-Fi and free parking, free toiletries, private bathroom and basic homeware such as cookware, dishware, and utensils. Hotels that are priced higher up include luxury facilities such as smoke-free guestrooms, indoor pools, private gardens, refrigerators and so on. Hotels that are priced higher also have designer furniture and accessories, much bigger rooms than budget hotels and have more expensive finishes as well. Ultimately, the type of hotel that you choose will all depend on your personal preference and budget at the end of the day.
So if you plan on taking a family vacation and enjoying and taking in all the sights and sounds that Waiheke has to offer, then you probably only need a place to sleep. In that case, a budget hotel or motel would serve its purpose. However, if you plan on spending much more time indoors, then opt for four or five-star Waiheke Island Hotels.

The first all-Russian conference on FGIS LK in 2025
The head of the Federal Forestry Agency Ivan Sovetnikov held the first All-Russian meeting in 2025 with the subjects on the work of the Federal State Information System of the Forest Complex (FGIS LC). During the discussion, he emphasized that the mandatory use of the system will not be cancelled or revised, but noted that there were difficulties in the regions that did not start filling in the data in a timely manner.
Ivan Sovetnikov, head of the Federal Forestry Agency: “It is obvious that all materials uploaded to the FGIS LC cannot be ideal right away. And it is completely normal that for some time we will find errors, including registry errors. We were preparing for this. I would like to emphasize that we will continue to work on eliminating incorrect data throughout this year.”
Sovetnikov noted that entities that began working with the system in advance, including checking the transferred data (block networks, forest plots, title documents), switched to using FGIS LC without serious problems.
Letters will be sent to the heads of regions where work with the system is not being carried out actively enough, which will focus on the following issues:
- strengthen checking the data uploaded to FGIS LC for correctness;
- complete the entry of retrospective information;
- check the characteristics of felling areas, plots, special protection zones and permitted types of use;
- make corrections to the registry data if necessary.
In addition, Rosleskhoz and the Federation Council agreed to hold targeted meetings with regions and testing relevant ministers on their knowledge of the FGIS LK.
Earlier, the Association "Russian Timber" and "OPORA RUSSIA" have already stated the difficulties faced by enterprises, especially representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, which account for about 50% of timber harvesting.
The Association "Russian Forest" continues its dialogue with the government and business, monitors the situation and achieves solutions that allow enterprises to adapt to the new operating conditions of the FGIS LK.


title: Computer controlled pem fuel cell advanced unit

text:
The Computer Controlled PEM Fuel Cell Advanced Unit, “EC6C”, has been designed by EDIBON to allow the students to understand the fuel cells technology, especially that of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEM). It also enables to calculate several fundamental parameters of a PEM type fuel cell, such as power density, polarization curves, efficiency, etc., and the variation of some of these parameters in function of the consumption of reagents and the developed power.
The “EC6C” unit is supplied with a stack of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM) with a rated power of 1000 W. The stack is composed of 72 cells with channelled plate shape that allow the air flow through the membrane. The membrane facilitates the hydrogen flow, generating the electrons release. There are separate plates which conduct electricity, allowing that electrons flow, between each pair of cells.
Cells are self-humidifying and do not require any type of external humidification.
The stack has an integrated fan that is able to provide the required air for proper operation and to maintain a suitable temperature.
Hydrogen storage represents one of the essential points regarding the hydrogen economy. For that purpose, includes two pressure regulators: one of them is prepared to be installed in the H2 bottle in order to regulate the outlet pressure at 5 – 50 bar and the other is placed at the outlet of the metal hydride bottle in order to regulate the inlet pressure to the stack in a range from 0 – 1 bar.
Two solenoid valves are included. One of them is located before the stack and controls the hydrogen inlet, and when the unit is switched off, the valve is closed to avoid any possible hydrogen leakage. The other valve, placed at the stack outlet, purges the excess of water and hydrogen outside for a proper operation.
The unit also has a load regulation system. It enables the study of the generated electrical energy, the representation of the characteristic operation curves and their comparison with the theoretical curves.
A battery supplies 12 V to the unit electronic console.
The whole electrical circuit of the stack is protected by a short-circuit unit in case of an overcurrent (30 A) and low voltage shut down (36 V).
It includes a hydrogen leak detector with a detection range from 0 – 2% Vol and from 0 – 100% L.E.L. (Lower Explosive Limit) respectively.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.

Help on building a search engine (design / algorithms / parsing / tokenising / database design)by bobtfish (Scribe) |
on Jun 07, 2004 at 10:59 UTC | Need Help?? |
bobtfish has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Monks I've recently been working on a project to mirror various file sources from web sites. I have got a number of mirror scripts that work out the files that need to be mirrored, and do the mirroring. Once mirrored, each file has a number of tests performed on it (to try and classify it), and then an entry is entered into an SQL database for that file. The files can be of many different types, however the most common types are:
What I want to be able to do is a Google style search across all the files meta data and their contents (or probably just comments extracted from the file for program files). I know that building an inverse index of the data and searching that is probably the way to go, and I have an initial implementation that works quite nicely.
Therefore my first question: Can anyone recommend a comment parser that I can throw an arbitary(ish) language file and get back all the comments?
Update: Mostly solved by matching comments as suggested by andyf. However if someone wants to point me at a packaged (CPAN?) solution that'd still be welcome. At this point there is meta-information about this file:
So, I have three tables:
The code that does this looks like: All reasonably simple, and reasonably sane (other than the fact that my tokeniser is a bit rubbish currently).. Now, when I come to search, I allow the user to input a phrase such as: (linux or sun) and log I parse the search query into bits I know about; (,),and,or,not and bits I don't; linux, sun, log For anything I don't know about, I tokenise it (as above) then search for that token (the case of a non-existant token adds lots of mess, but is reasonably easy to handle, so won't be considered here). Once I have a token_id for each token, I then build an SQL query along the lines of: SELECT file_id FROM search_files_to_tokens WHERE token_id = $token_id for each file, and chain them together with UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT For example, if tokens for linux = 1, sun = 2 and log = 3, query will be: ((SELECT file_id FROM search_files_to_tokens WHERE token_id = 1) UNION ((SELECT file_id FROM search_files_to_tokens WHERE token_id = 2)) INTERSECT (SELECT file_id FROM search_files_to_tokens WHERE token_id = 3)) This gives me back a pile of rows containing a file_id for files that match the search criteria. I can then do another simple (and fast) query which gives me back the counts for each token/file instance. Taking that data, I can easilly iterate through it and provide each file with an overall score. My scoring system is simple: For each token in this file, add (number of times this token appears in this file / number of times token appears in the result set as a whole) and this is your score. I then sort the result set by score and display. This generally works very well, however for queries with common tokens (that produce a large result set), it can be quite slow (but still faster than regex search). Also, search speed can change drastically with query order. If I start indexing comments in files / text file contents, it's going to get unusable.. Questions:
I look forward to comments / questions from the Monastry as my knowlegde of complex (statefull) parseing is pretty limited, and I've never tried a search algorithm before.. Caveat: There is a command line (perl) search interface, however I must also be able to create a php search interface. Therefore using CPAN modules to do the parsing etc is good, using CPAN to do tokenisation or search just isn't going to happen unless the module is so simple (or easy to read) that re-implementing it in php (in a reeasonably small amount of time) is viable. Update: Added <readmore> tags as I realised this post is huge and added answer to the first question so people don't waste their time searching for me.


title: The evolution of infusion centers how specialized care has transformed patient experience

text:
In recent years, healthcare has changed a lot, making life easier for people with chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. One of the best developments is the rise of infusion centers, like our infusion center in Atlanta.
These centers are improving how patients get their treatments, making their experience better and improving their quality of life.
In this blog, we’ll look at how infusion centers have transformed patient care. We’ll talk about the problems patients used to face and how these centers are solving those problems.
What Are Infusion Centers?
A Brief History
Infusion therapy involves delivering medication directly into a patient’s bloodstream. This method of administering medications is often used for chronic diseases.
In the past, patients had to visit hospitals for these treatments, which was often stressful and time-consuming. Today, infusion centers have changed the game. They specialize in providing this type of care in a more relaxed setting, making the overall experience better for patients.
The Rise of Infusion Centers
Infusion centers started to appear as hospitals looked for ways to reduce overcrowding and improve patient care. These centers focus only on infusion therapy, which allows them to offer specialized services.
Over time, they have become more popular because they are convenient and patient-friendly.
The Modern Infusion Center
Today’s infusion centers are designed with the patient’s comfort in mind. From cozy chairs to personalized care plans, these centers aim to make the treatment process as smooth as possible. Many centers also offer amenities like Wi-Fi, snacks, and even private rooms.
Challenges of Traditional Infusion Therapy
Long Wait Times
In the past, patients who needed infusion therapy often had to wait a long time in hospitals. This made an already stressful situation even harder.
Lack of Specialized Care
Hospitals provide many types of care, but this can sometimes mean that special services like infusion therapy don’t get enough attention.
Hospitals can be noisy and crowded, making it hard for patients to relax. This is especially tough for those with chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn’s disease.
How Infusion Centers Address These Challenges
Infusion centers are known for their efficient scheduling. You can often book an appointment online or by phone, and the wait times are much shorter compared to hospitals. This makes it easier to fit infusion treatment into your busy life.
The staff at infusion centers are experts in infusion therapy. They receive special training to ensure they provide the best care. This expertise can make a big difference in the quality of your treatment and overall experience at an infusion center.
From the moment you walk into an infusion center, you’ll notice the difference. The environment is designed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Many centers offer private rooms, cozy chairs, and even entertainment options to help pass the time.
Infusion centers use state-of-the-art equipment to administer treatments. This advanced technology ensures that the procedures are as safe and effective as possible. It also allows for more precise dosing and monitoring.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Arrival and Check-In
When you get to the infusion center, you’ll first go to the front desk to check-in. The staff working there will confirm that you have an appointment and then show you where you need to go for your treatment.
The Infusion Process
Once you’re in the treatment area, you’ll sit in a comfortable chair. A nurse will start an IV line, which means they will put a small tube into your vein to give you the medicine. This part might take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on what kind of treatment you need.
After your treatment is finished, the nurse will take out the IV line and tell you what you need to do next. You might need to stay for a little while, so they can make sure you don’t have any immediate side effects from the medicine.

title: More than half of people wish they discovered more about their relatives when they were alive 3908332

Nikita Gill said: “Both my grandfathers were in the Indian Army during the Second World War, so I felt like I had a real connection to the subject matter.
“I wanted to do justice to the stories of ordinary people who lived during a time of great change and uncertainty.
“My experience of using the wealth of UK and
Ireland wartime records available on Ancestry as inspiration demonstrated how even the simplest of records can tell such interesting and poignant stories.”
Simon Pearce, military history expert at Ancestry, said: “Britain’s wartime history is full of fascinating accounts that shed light on how our ancestors once lived, and yet there are still so many stories to be discovered.
“In fact, our research highlights how many people have unearthed a story about their own family’s history after a relative has passed, showcasing the importance of having those discussions now to ensure these stories live on.”
People are left intrigued, shocked and proud, according to the research
The research also found such discoveries left people feeling intrigued (32 per cent), shocked (26 per cent) and proud (25 per cent).
Among the top things respondents found from relatives after they passed were photos (28 per cent), physical heirlooms (19 per cent) and letters (19 per cent).
Of those polled, 39 per cent also admitted they are not familiar with trench poetry - poems written by soldiers during the First World War to express their experiences.
Yet 31 per cent feel finding their ancestors’ creative writing would help them feel closer to them.
More than a fifth (22 per cent) would love to discover an unknown war related tale within their family history.
While 21 per cent admitted that although they know their family member was alive during the war and served, they don’t know what role they played.
Other topics Brits wish they’d discussed more with loved ones included the hobbies they had growing up (20 per cent), what jobs they had (19 per cent) and where they met their partner (19 per cent).
And when it comes to their ancestors’ experiences of wartime, people would be interested to know how their family members found rationing (18 per cent), the role they played (22 per cent) and who else they met during that time (17 per cent).
While 29 per cent would like to discover a family story related to life on the front line, a further quarter (25 per cent) would enjoy hearing about a wartime love story.
More than 40 per cent of those polled, via OnePoll, admitted they don’t really know their family’s history.
Ancestry.co.uk is offering free access to billions of UK and
Ireland wartime records from November 4th – 8th to help people discover their own family wartime stories.

Twin Valley City Council Appoints New Councilmember
Twin Valley, MN — The Twin Valley City Council held their regular monthly meeting on Monday night, March 13th at the Twin Valley Community Center. At the meeting, the council picked up their discussion on appointing a new council member to fill the vacancy. The council had two interested applicants at their special meeting last week, Tracy Christianson and Harold Allrich, but the council was split on who to appoint and unsure of how to move forward. Following consultation with the League of Minnesota Cities and their statutory rules, it was discovered that the Mayor had the ability to make appointments in the event of a tie. On Monday night, Twin Valley Mayor Michael Bolton chose to appoint Christianson at this week’s meeting.
The city council also continued discussion on their proposed poultry ordinance, which would allow residents to have up to six hens in an enclosed area. Taking some public input into consideration, the council approved an amendment to the ordinance that would require consent from adjoining properties, according to Mayor Bolton.
During the Public Works report, the Superintendent reported interest in updating their mapping to a digital format. Bolton says they are going to take a look at their options, but it would greatly assist the city in the long-term to have more accurate data.
The annual citywide clean-up will take place at the end of next month and Mayor Bolton reminds residents to start thinking about spring cleaning once the snow melts.
The Twin Valley City Council meets on the 2nd Monday of each month.


title: New ios 501 ultimate iphone 4s battery life fix 651355

text:
Apple promised iPhone owners a fix to the iOS 5 battery bug that has been sucking life out of the faster and fuller phone, but the new beta version of the iOS 5.0.1 updates come nothing short of amazing according to a Wired reader.
Early reports from those who got their hands on the Beta version of the iOS 5.0.1 say the new update completely solves the battery drainage problem on the iPhone 4 and 4S.
To go almost an entire day without a change in the meter reading seems unbelievable. Where before I could almost watch the battery drain, now it doesn't move at all, said Wired reader Donald Kuntzman.
When iPhone users started using the new iOS 5 software on their phones, they complained their battery life was being drained even when their phone was on standby. Many flocked to Apple forums to seek help, but suggested fixes such as turning off Time Zone and Location made little difference, according to users.
It was a huge investment for me to upgrade from the 3GS to the 4S and for example, I fully charged the battery overnight, woke up and took the phone off the charger to go to work at about 8:45 a.m. it's 10:40 a.m. now, I have not used the phone at all and it's gone from 100% to 87% without using it... My 3GS battery life was even better than this, user iPhone 5 lover posted in the Apple support forum.
iPhone user Sam Bertolet tweeted that after upgrading his phone his previous 15 percent battery loss was reduced to four or five percent. Not everyone has noticed changes, however, Gareth Evans tweeted that he saw no difference in his battery life when he upgraded.
iOS 5.0.1 is expected to be out in a week but in the meantime here are some of the top temporary fixes suggested on Apple forums:
Turn automatic time zones off: iOS 5 is constantly trying to readjust to detect time zones automatically; this can drain the battery life very quickly. To avoid the drain go to Settings -> Location Services -> System Services-> Setting Time Zone and switch it to manual.
Disable Location settings: For every App with location components you can enable or disable location settings. Turn off the setting for any apps you do not need, as this too can drain the battery at a much faster pace.
Disable Notifications: Notifications can also eat up a lot of battery; the less you have on the better. Settings -> Notifications, tap a given category (Phone, Messages, and Reminders) or app, and turn the notifications off.
Avoid pushing emails: Checking emails manually by clicking on the mail icon can conserve battery life considerably especially for those who receive a lot of business and spam mail.
Siri: Even if you don't use Siri much, the assistant still drains battery through location services so try and turn those off when you are not using them.

title: How virtual behavioral health services could reach 53m americans

text:
The use of virtual delivery channels could expand treatment to 53 million Americans suffering from behavioral health issues, according to a new report from Accenture.
The report, “Breakthrough Behavioral Health Access: Think Virtual,” is based on a survey of more than 3,400 people in the U.S. diagnosed with or having symptoms related to specific behavioral health conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress syndrome, attention deficit disorder or reported themselves as having addiction or substance abuse issues.
The researchers pointed out that current data indicates that nearly 58 million adults and 8 million youth between the ages of six and 17 in the U.S. have mental health and/or substance use disorders, yet only 43 percent of affected adults are receiving treatment for them. Four in five respondents (81 percent) of the Accenture survey said they would either definitely or probably engage in a virtual channel to manage their behavioral health condition.
Applying this finding to the 66 million adults and youths impacted by these disorders suggests that virtual channels could expand care to approximately 53 million people, the researchers concluded. Furthermore, the number of people with such conditions is likely to rise due to the current environment of COVID-19, record unemployment, and widespread social unrest, they added.
Among the channels respondents said they’d be willing to use include on-demand videos (cited by 55 percent), webchat (63 percent), individual therapy via voice (59 percent) and individual therapy via voice plus video (56 percent).
“The behavioral health crisis in the U.S. isn’t new, but the pandemic is clearly exacerbating it,” said Rich Birhanzel, a senior managing director at Accenture who leads the company’s Health practice globally. “The rapid expansion of virtual care models during lockdown in the current pandemic created new expectations for effective and reliable healthcare at a distance. While our research found that only 38 percent of respondents hadn’t been widely using a virtual channel for such treatment in the prior three years, they’re now overwhelmingly willing to do so.”
The research also shows that younger patients are much more likely than older ones to engage in virtual behavioral health services. The report notes that this is critical insight for employers as they develop their workforce and talent strategies, particularly since millennials comprise the largest percentage of the U.S. labor force, followed by Gen Zers.
In addition to improving people’s lives, better access to care and treatment is a potential breakthrough in terms of overall outcomes and medical spending as behavioral health patients typically have co-occurring medical conditions and as a result, can have two to three times the amount of associated health expenditures. Related Accenture analysis shows that even a 1 percent increase in treatment for behavioral health disorders in the U.S. could yield as much as $2.4 billion in medical cost savings annually, due largely to the fact that individuals with behavioral health conditions often have other medical conditions.
Meanwhile, the report notes three fundamental factors that healthcare providers should consider to remain relevant and responsive to consumers’ needs:
• Four in 10 respondents (44 percent) said they would only use such channels if the services are provided at low or no cost to them. Public and private organizations sponsoring these solutions will need to think through how to lower costs to consumers—particularly those in need.
•. Beyond cost, consumers want convenience and a positive user experience. While consumers are hungry for behavioral health services through virtual channels, the design of the programs and consumers’ experiences will make or break adoption no matter the demand.
• Coordination and integration of care with a whole-person approach is critical. Services should be offered in context of individuals’ physical health, and data-sharing and interoperability among different healthcare stakeholders are critical to providing the most effective care.
“COVID-19 has increased the demand for virtual health services nearly overnight,” Birhanzel said. “By adopting virtual services into behavioral health, we can improve outcomes and make treatment more accessible — reducing overall costs for payers, providers and the entire healthcare system.”

Through the acquisition, Espacio aims to promote the publication’s growth and to give a voice to Spain’s tech scene.
Novobrief was founded in 2014 by Jaime Novoa to introduce Spain’s startup scene to the world. The publication is focused on featuring stories of up-and-coming entrepreneurs and interviews with exciting startups that are prospering in their markets, and to provide insight into Spain’s conditions for establishing new businesses.
The founder of the publication has been a startup ecosystem builder, responsible for driving awareness and growth for startups. Novobrief founder Jaime Novoa is an investor at the K FUND, which is an early stage Venture Capital firm that aims to fuel the evolution of the Spanish startup ecosystem. Prior to this Jaime had worked at Tech.eu, Startupexplore, and Weblogs SL.
“We are thrilled to be working with Novobrief and to continue the legacy that its founder Jaime created,” said Espacio CEO Conrad Egusa. Conrad Egusa is a former VentureBeat writer and is a Global Mentor at 500 Startups, and founded Espacio with Eddie Arrieta.
“We are happy to see Novobrief.com joining Espacio. Their team will bring an extra layer of capacity, expertise and exposure that will take Spain’s startup scene even further,” says Novobrief founder Jaime Novoa.
“We have noticed a promising increase in interesting ideas and technology in Spain, reflected in the amount of activity there,” says Egusa. “At Espacio we will work to make sure this is mirrored in the media coverage – something Novobrief.com was created to do – and something we will continue.”
Recovering from an economic downturn, Spain has since been thriving in the world’s entrepreneurial scene. Improved funding and support systems help cutting-edge ventures get started. A new generation of entrepreneurs are working on turning ideas into commercially-viable enterprises.
Upcoming investments into Novobrief.com include an expansion of its editorial newsroom, investments into video, and a series of events in 2018.
“As more eyes look to Spain as a strategic tech hub, we are excited to continue this mission of sharing Spain’s own inspiring stories of growth and exploration in the startup sector,” said Egusa.
