"I don’t know” is a perfectly acceptable answer

“I don’t know” is a perfectly acceptable answer

  Ethics, Ethics: Scientist, General Information, In The Courtroom, by Justin J. McShane

I was read­ing an arti­cle. It got me to think­ing about tes­ti­fy­ing expert wit­nesses. Basi­cally, the premise of the arti­cle is that “I don’t know” is a per­fectly accept­able answer. It is. It is a beau­ti­ful answer. It should be our default posi­tion in foren­sic sci­ence. We should start out with no pre­sump­tions or assump­tions. We should start with no ideas. We test and retest and accu­mu­late data. Only if the data is clear, clean and indis­putable should we offer an opin­ion. Oth­er­wise, it fits the pat­tern of the old joke: “What do you call an opin­ion with no data to sup­port it?” The answer is: “A guess.”  I sug­gest that too many times in the Court­room experts truly offer guesses or they give us any kind of answer as opposed to telling the sci­en­tific truth that the answer is unknown given what is known.                                                                                                       more>>

Information Technology System at The Marian Centre

The main access to this information technology system is through The Marian Centre website. Each element of the system could be also accessed independently. It is a web-based system which is rigorously guarded with security protocols similar to internet banking. These security measures are currently used in the health-care industry and have been medico-legally tested.

The goals of developing the Information Technology systems at The Marian Centre were:

1. maintaining effective pathways for critical decision making processes
2. monitoring consistency of clinical data entries
3. improving communication between all members of the multidisciplinary team
4. providing integrated clinical care
5. creating appropriate protocols for quality assurance and further research in the area of information technology used in a mental health setting

During the process of implementation of the unique IT solutions at The Marian Centre, the Centre has established close links with IBA Health, a major provider of information technology in Australia and the Australia-Pacific region and its subsidiary Monet Health – Clinical Solution.

The Marian Centre integrated all aspects of hospital operations into one IT system. These elements, regardless of their operating system and types of applications, would exchange information through robust and well tested H7 messaging systems. Disseminating information from one source - Patient Administration System (PAS) - will allow all the applications used at the Marian Centre to provide the clinicians and other members of the team with consistent clinical and operational information, thus avoiding duplication of information entry. This process will prevent any possible mistakes and human errors arising from maintaining comprehensive databases of unique types of codes and information.

The Marian Centre Information Technology system will significantly reduce the time of data entry and, as a result of this, will create a major cost reduction in operations of the Marian Centre.

The aim of the project to create a distributed system to provide a structured method of submitting and managing payroll queries. The system will enable management from across a number of different sites to submit queries in a structured way to a centralized payroll department. Payroll personnel will be able to use the system to retrieve and manage the queries that will be stored in the database. The payroll manager will be to query the database to produce weekly statistics for their reports. A web based solution will ensure that management with interact access will be able to use the system without installing additional software and having to update that software when system changes are made.

Food & Drink A Chocolate Bar for Women: At Least It's Not Wrapped in Pink

 

Food & Drink

A Chocolate Bar for Women: At Least It's Not Wrapped in Pink

 

                                                                Are you wondering why women need their own chocolate bar? Me too. Well, turns out Crispello isn’t actually a bar, it’s “three curved crispy wafer shells, each one filled with a smooth creamy center, dipped in Cadbury milk chocolate,” according to a statement from the company. Together, the three pieces have 165 calories. But, as of Oct. 8, they’ll be sold in a resealable pack to help women who just want to eat one at a time. Here’s what a Cadbury spokesman (who was unavailable today) told the Daily Mail: ”The mix of wafer and chocolate is a lighter way to eat chocolate, and we know from experience that women are attracted to this particular format. It will also appeal to women, because it is in three separate portions so they can consume a little at a time rather than in one go.”

I’m sorry, did the spokesman just tell women how to eat chocolate? “That is a bit of a no-no,” says Joan Steuer, who makes a living telling companies how to market chocolate. “Women have an emotional relationship with chocolate, it’s the most emotional food on the planet. We don’t need to be told what to do with our chocolate. We’ll do the opposite.”

                                                      Portion control, even for chocolate, isn’t the problem. (Who can argue with Ferrero Rocher’s package of three gold-foiled bon bons?) It’s the idea that only women care about it that’s the problem. “It’s offensive,” says B.L. Ochman, a social media consultant who looked into the backlash against Bic’s Pen For Her. (Bloomberg Businessweek’s slide show of needlessly gender-specific products is here.) “Products aimed at women always seem to treat women more like children than thinking adults,” says Ochman. “Some of it will depend on the packaging and approach, whether it’s lighthearted or serious. You could have fun with it, but I doubt they will.”

                                                                   Cadbury plans to spend about $11 million to introduce Crispello in the U.K., where it will be marketed under the tagline “a little treat for you.” At least the packaging won’t be pink. It will be Cadbury’s now-exclusive purple. “I think they’re using the graphics rather than color to speak to women. It’s attractive, not girly,” says David Vinjamori, the author of Accidental Branding. “I might try it.”

Taj Mahal

Experiencing the Taj Mahal without being cognizant of its history is grossly irrelevant and absurd. The extravagant expression has not come easy. There underlays an ocean of emotions and a wild passion that led the king to erect such a masterpiece in snow-white marble. It's a monument, the only one, where perhaps, ever inch of the edifice, from one corner to the other, expresses the beauty of Mumtaz Mahal. Mughal emperor's Shah Jahan's intense feelings and warmheartedness can be felt at the very first instant as you arrive here to fix your gaze upon one of the most phenomenal structures in the world.

The splendid love story begins in 1612, when a Persian princess Arjumand Bano married Shah Jahan (then prince Khurram), the fifth Mughal emperor. Arjumand Bano, who later became known as Mumtaz Mahal (the Chosen of the Palace), was a second wife to the emperor. Both a companion and an advisor, the queen followed the emperor on his journeys and military expeditions. Such was the effect of the queen on his emperor-husband that Shah Jahan was inspired to perform acts of charity and benevolence all throughout his life.  

 The love story took a serious turn when, on a campaign at Burhanpur with her husband, Mumtaz Mahal took his last breath giving birth to their 14th child. So heartbroken was the emperor that the whole court went into mourning for a span of over two years. It is said that, within a few months after the queen's death, the hair and beard of the king had turned white. And Shah Jahan was recklessly determined on building a monument in his consort's loving memory that the world had never seen.

The dead body of the queen was brought to Agra and buried in a garden on the banks of river Yamuna. A group of the finest architects was assembled to devise a plan for erecting the tomb. Eventually, Ustad Isa, a Persian architect, was called upon to design the structure. The master architect along with his pupil Ustad Ahmad began the construction of the edifice. The dome, however, was fashioned by Ismail Khan. A total of 20,000 labourers from across the country and the world were employed to work for 22 years continuously. Finest of the marbles were procured from the district of Markana near Jodhpur. Precious and semi precious stones were brought from far off places.

Later, the mausoleum was provided with luxuriant furnishings. Persian carpets and gold lamps embellished the interior of the Taj. Two silver gates, that were set up at the entrance, were taken away by Suraj Mal in 1764. Amir Husein Ali Khan looted the sheet of pearls that covered the stone coffins.

It is said, that after the completion of the construction, when emperor Shah Jahan viewed the Taj, he ordered his men to cut off the right hand of the master architect Ustad Isa, so the later may not be able to erect such a stately and imposing edifice again in his life. There's another legend that says Shah Jahan was contemplating to build yet another Taj Mahal across the river in black marble.

Now, it's up to you how many more legends you can make yourself aware of while on a trip to Agra, the city of the Taj. Get accompanied by a travel guide and begin exploring the myths and legends, poring over the glorious chapters of the history.

Nokia Announces Software Update For 808 PureView

Will enhance imaging and browsing experience; a better keypad and Nokia Car Mode also added. 

 

 

The new Lumia 920 is making ripples in the market with its 8.7 MP auto-focus PureView camera. But when it comes to megapixels, however, it is nowhere close to Nokia's 808 PureView, which has been proven to be almost as good as a DSLR.

Nokia has released a software upgrade for a more immersive imaging experience. According to this post on the Nokia Conversations blog, the upgrade includes

 

• A new Gallery Grid display when the phone is in landscape.
• Access to functions such as swipe, zoom, share, edit and send, when images are opened from the Gallery widget on the home screen.
• Additional information about images such as resolution, ISO value, white balance setting, file size, and (while the user is on Nokia Maps) place where the photo was taken.
• Multiple select and delete functionality in Gallery Grid Mode.
• Additional reset button in Creative Mode to undo changes made to the image.

   Apart from these imaging features, the upgrade includes an updated browser (version 8.3) with improved HTML5 support, a newer and faster keyboard, and Nokia Car Mode — which allows access to key features of the phone while driving. The upgrade was rolled out on 2nd October globally, but it is not available in some regions. A separate software upgrade has also been announced for the Nokia 603, Nokia 700, and Nokia 701. This includes a faster browser and Nokia Car Mode. For details on how to upgrade your phone, visit
