 body and the metrics I have available.UTMC focuses on hand hygiene for infection preventionBy Sarah A. Velliquette : October 19th, 2017
In recognition of International Infection Prevention Week, The University of Toledo Medical Center is going back to the basics of infection prevention by focusing on proper hand hygiene.
UTMC’s “Wash in-Wash out” hand hygiene policy states employees should perform hand hygiene with traditional soap or water, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, or waterless antimicrobial hand gel, spray, wipes or foam before and after they enter a patient room or environment. By doing this, the risk of hospital-inquired infections is significantly reduced.
“Practicing proper hand hygiene is not only the most effective method of preventing the spread of germs, but is the least expensive method to assist with infection prevention efforts,” said Ann Keegan, director of infection prevention and control for UTMC.
The hospital’s current compliance rate is 79 percent, which exceeds the goal of 75 percent.
“If everyone holds themselves and their colleagues accountable for proper hand hygiene, we can increase our observed compliance and decrease transmission of infections,” Keegan said.
The World Health Organization recommends these five moments to perform hand hygiene:
• Before touching a patient;
• Before clean/aseptic procedures;
• After body fluid exposure/risk;
• After touching a patient; and
• After touching patient surroundings.
“Keeping patients safe from infection is everyone’s responsibility,” Keegan said. “By continuing to practice proper hand hygiene, we promote a safe environment and are decreasing the possibility of spreading infections throughout our facility.”You may have practiced and prepared. You may have the perfect costume or background for your performance and yet there’s that waiting time.
You may have the prettiest or the most photogenic scene set up and yet, you mind tells you that there’s always someone better than you are. Did you know there’s a physical reaction to waiting in the wings? There is. When you’re in that area where activity on the stage can be observed yet the audience cannot see you- a place where performers stand just before it’s time to enter the stage to perform… we might call this physical reaction- Butterflies. A sensation which is a blend of anxiety, anticipation and excitement all bundled together.
Hang up Your Dancing Shoes altogether.
How do I know this? Because I’ve had those feelings before, okay- many times before. You have butterflies because you are afraid. You have butterflies because you’ve got a bad case of comparisonitis. You have butterflies because you Care.
When you start something new, even if you don’t have all the answers, you aren’t ‘perfect’ or you think someone is better than you are. Am I right? Well, here’s the key- lean on your preparation and your experience. Then trust your Instincts and Believe that you will Rise to the Occasion.
What you have to give is You, and that’s a very special Gift. There’s no one else exactly like You. When the Director of Life give you the cue… Come on out onto the Stage. You’ll be Unforgettable.
I’m thankful for so many who generously Take to the Stage. Ready to be available. Waiting to help. Prepared to do Something. Willing to share their Gifts. We need you.
I need to create a test environment in which I'll be able to artificially 'create' lost transactions. Due to network disconnects in the app I'm using, sometimes (very, very rarely) there are 'broken' transactions (some part of the data update goes to DB, but the rest is not which results in incomplete data in database). On my test machine I don't have a clue how to do it.
I know that's the problem with app design but I need to prove that this kind of behaviour is appearing so that the vendor of the app can fix this bug.
The easiest way is to look into the transaction log and see where there is a sequence that you can'split'. Start by reading How to read and interpret the SQL Server log to understand what I'm talking about.
This sequence shows two operations that occurred in the DB in two distinct transactions. You want to show what happens if xid1 commits, but xid2 rolls back. Since catching the app right in between those two updates is difficult, you can simply restore the DB with STOP AT (see Recover to a Log Sequence Number (SQL Server)) and stop the recovery after lsn3 but before lsn6 (that is, xid 1 commits but xid2 will be forced to rollback). Now you have your DB in a logical inconsistent state (the first operation succeeded, the second failed).

I'm on my own this weekend, so that's to be expected. I am extremely proud of how I am handling urges these days. I just focus on the negative outcomes of relapsing and I am very thankful that reason keeps winning. I think I am also helped by staying laser focused on not giving in to the little temptations. I know what they are for me and I know that it is a slippery slope for me, so I stay well away! I also know that an extra little boost is not wanting to have to come here the following day to admit failure. Whatever comes my way, I can just know that I am not going to use today and that is the important part. One day at a time everyone!happy to open up a discussion with the audience.

“Is blood thicker than water?”
The answer seems obvious until a half-millennium-old blood feud ignited between twin brothers of a 16th century Scottish Reiver clan revisits violence generation to generation, pursuing their descendants from island to island and onto a new continent where the familiar proverb is ultimately pitted against this fluid tale of guilt, blood, water, and time.
Rich with magical realism, Is Blood Thicker taps millennia-old folklore to spin a modern fable of love, pain, and family wisdom consumed by a lived code:
‘Drink, Pray, Fight, Feck’ … and a fox.The film follows the European tour of Mummenschanz, one of the most creative and unique theater companies in the world.

CHINESE New Year is less than a month away. If you haven’t bought your CNY dress yet, look for florals and lace details.
“Florals and lace details are always perennial favourites for CNY. This season, we are seeing a lot of such details in the CNY outfits available at Zalora. Also, darker and richer hues such as maroon and navy are also making an appearance. Besides that, we are also seeing a lot of layered and draped designs, which make for a more feminine look.
“Lace and floral designs are synonymous with Spring and the Lunar New Year. They add a touch of femininity and class to the conventional outfit,” says Zalora.
According to the online fashion store, most of the dresses have full, flowy skirts which enhance the feminine silhouette.
The fashions this year are also more versatile and can be worn as eye-catching statement pieces well after Chinese New Year.
“This years design’s are mostly contemporary pieces with traditional elements such as mandarin collars, and classic silhouettes. The designs allow women to make over their festive wardrobe into something modern without detracting completely from tradition.
“For the sophisticated and mature woman, we would recommend darker
