The Note “HL7 Processor Demonstration – Java CAPS 6/JBI and OpenESB” walks the reader through development of a Java CAPS 6/JBI-based / OpenESB-based solution that addresses a Healthcare-related business problem. The Note elaborates on the healthcare background necessary to get a notion of what is being done and why, and provides detailed steps required to implement and exercise the solution.

I recorded a screencast of a session during which I discuss the business side of the Note, then discuss, implement, deploy and exercise all components of the solution documented in the Note.

The screencast is here: HL7Processor_Exercise_Screencast.avi. The associated archive, 00_HL7Processor_example_screencast_companion.zip, contains code fragments and other bits and pieces which are used, or referred to, in the screencast. Of some interest are the Note itself, in documents/00_HL7_Example_Development_Instructions_Final.pdf, and the brief example implementation instructions, in documents/00_HL7_ExampleBrief.pdf. I followed the brief instructions while I was building the projects when recording the screencast.

The screencast, which is over 320 Mb in size and takes 2 hours and 50 minutes to play, may require a TechSmith Compression Codec on your machine to allow your player to play the media. You can get one from the TechSmith site: http://www.techsmith.com/download/codecs.asp. Information on the codec can also be found here: http://www.movavi.com/codec/TSCC.html. If you prefer, and you are on Windows, you can get the CamPlay.exe from here: CamPlay.zip and use it instead.

    Thanks, Michael. I’ve done the HL7 processor example from your previous blog. It was very well explained. I’m pretty sure this screen cast will make it more easier to understand the example.

Freedom's Daniel Dae Kim to throw out first ball for Phillies
Total People in Discussion: 1
Posted by Kathy Lauer-Williams at 03:27:25 PM on May 3, 2012

DanieldaekimFreedom High School grad Daniel Dae Kim, star of "Hawaii Five-O,' will throw out the first pitch at the Philadelphia Phillies game Monday. The game against the Mets will be aired at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

There seems to be a definite Phillies connection since Phillies outfielder Shane "The Flyin' Hawaiian" Victorino guest starred on an episode of CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" in February. And Kim joined Victorino on the links for his first Charity Golf Classic in Honolulu after which the Phillies tweeted this photo.

Kim has been on the East Coast, making appearances at the White House Correspondents Dinner April 28;  White House dinner with Prime Minister of Japan Yoshihiko Noda hosted by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and appearing on "Live! WIth Kelly" in New York City May 1.

The Art of De-Stressing

December has officially arrived and final exam weeks are on the horizon. It’s no secret that December has a reputation as being a stressful month in a university student’s career. However, it’s how students combat the stress that helps build character. Here are some helpful de-stressing tips to help you get through the next few weeks.

Plan Ahead

If you read my post last week, it was all about scheduling your time wisely to help you allocate enough time to study efficiently and to practice self-care. This is arguably the best de-stressing tip because planning ahead alleviates uncertainty, and it allows you to track your progress. By pre-planning your tasks, you don’t have to constantly worry about what to do because you already have a routine to follow. Good time management is the most important factor in managing academic priorities and it is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress during exam time.

Get Physically Active

It is recommended that you get 30 minutes of exercise every day. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to hit the gym. Depending on your personal preferences, you could take evening walks with friends, dance to music in your room, drop in for fitness classes at Hart House, or even follow Youtube workout videos in the comfort of your own bedroom; the possibilities are endless. Physical activity is especially helpful when de-stressing because exercising leads to the release of endorphins, which are chemicals that make you “feel good” due to their analgesic nature. So the next time you feel stressed, try to do an activity that increases your heart rate for 20-30 minutes, you’ll thank me later!

Get Enough Sleep

Most people need 8-9 hours of sleep every day to function at their best. If you haven’t slept well, drowsiness can greatly hinder your productivity (and memory recall on an exam!). If you find yourself stressed or tired, rejuvenate yourself by taking a 26 minute nap. These short naps are scientifically proven to increase your productivity.  If you want, drink some coffee before your nap. Caffeine takes 20 minutes to enter your bloodstream, so if you take coffee before your nap, you’ll wake up fresh and caffeinated, ready to study.

Take A Hot Shower/Bath

Hot water has calming properties because it relaxes your muscles. This is a very time-effective stress management tip because it combines stress relief with personal hygiene. I personally prefer to take bubble baths during the weekend to prepare me for the upcoming week.

Remember to drink at least 2L of water a day! Your body needs water to function, and dehydration can greatly disrupt your system. If you notice dry skin, yellow urine, dull and persistent headaches, and/or constant hunger … chances are, you just need a few glasses of water. Keeping a water bottle with you while you study and exercise is a good way to make sure you always have access to water, and a way to track how much you are consuming.

Go To Exam Jams

There’s an upcoming exam jam on December 8. I went to exam jams almost every semester to get free massages and play with therapy dogs! My favorite thing about exam jams, other than the therapy dogs, is the fact that you see so many students just like you trying to de-stress! After studying all day in isolation, I’m prone to forgetting that there are hundreds of students going through final exams just like me. Exam jams form a sense of community, and they reassure me that we can get through this! I highly recommend you go, if you have time, because it’s a unique experience and it really does help you de-stress!

Ask For Help

Sometimes, all it takes to de-stress is a little extra help. The Academic Success Center (ASC) is here to help you. Visit the ASC and talk to a learning strategist or look through the online resources to help you de-stress and prepare for exams!

With that said, I wish you all success in all of your exams. Good luck!

Look Ma, No Disc: Digital Streaming Is More Than Just Convenient

In the beginning there was the videocassette and the consumer said it was good — now you could watch a Hollywood movie at home at your leisure. This was followed by the optical disc, first the DVD with resolution better than the analogue TV, and then the Blu-ray disc for high-resolution viewing on a high-resolution HDTV. The next, and perhaps last stage in this evolution of ownership of viewing is streaming. Streaming is like magic because it’s there when you need it, and not there when you don’t. It has no physical presence. Is that good? You bet it is!

So let’s look at the reasons why streaming content is superior to having to own a physical disc.

“Where’s the disc” is a game few want to play when it is time to watch something. Nor is there any joy in opening a DVD box to find it holding the wrong disc or, worse yet, empty. Streaming content is kept for you on the “Cloud” — a fancy way of saying it’s on a server that is being maintained and cared for by another (such as a movie studio or streaming content provider). When you want to watch your content, the server provides it to the viewing device (be that a TV or a mobile device like a tablet or a laptop, etc.). The server is responsible for knowing that the content belongs to you, for getting it to the device and for playing it. All of these responsibilities have been taken out of your hands.

A disc needs to be kept in a safe place away from prying hands (i.e., kids) or chewing teeth (i.e., pets). You go to get the disc but your significant other has put it somewhere that you don’t know where — and he/she isn’t around. Sure it would be great if you could beep your keys to find it like your car, but nobody’s thought of doing that yet. So you look and if you’re lucky, you find it. If luck isn’t with you, you get to go back to doing the accounting for the month’s bills. But if the content is being streamed, it’s being held for you where you can always access it. On the “Cloud.” And it doesn’t matter if you are at home or in a hotel or wherever. It’s your content and it’s being kept for you to watch when you want to.

And for those ask why they should still get a Blu-ray player when they can stream content — the response is “Yes” because not every bit of content has been digitized and put online yet. Plus it’s a lot easier to take a Blu-ray player to somewhere else — for example, when visiting the in-laws or at a friend’s house, because this will make streaming your content easier to do once connected to the home network (especially since most BD players now feature wireless WiFi connectivity).

Screen Resolution

This is the only area where user sensibility must come into play — because the resolution of the video being seen on the TV isn’t guaranteed for streaming like it is on a disc. What must be considered are variables that affect the “speed” of the Internet connection sending the movie or TV show to the TV. The viewer will need to consider whether the server is being requested by many, many people looking to view the same content, for example. The home network must be allowed to concentrate its efforts on receiving the most stable and highest resolution signal possible: others using the home network (smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc.) need to desist for the duration of time in which the content will be viewed. This will make sure that the streaming (also being buffered by the TV) can be of the highest resolution possible.

Streaming is attractive because it’s convenient. Having a HDTV or a 4K Ultra HD TV to take care of the streaming means using the latest technology to ensure a quality image. A quality image that is going INTO the TV as well as being displayed ON the TV.

Sustainable Development: the Business-class Train Has Left the Station and the Canary is in the Coal Mine

Cara Santos Pianesi's picture

Last week, MIGA hosted a panel discussion on the role of the private sector in sustainable growth as part of the World Bank Group’s Sustainable Development Network Forum 2012. Taking the initiative as an agency of the World Bank Group that encourages investment by the private sector, MIGA brought this angle to the more general sustainable growth discussion.

Keynote speaker Jeffrey Leonard from the Global Environment Fund opened citing the World Bank President’s remarks on sustainable development that were right on the money – outlining an urgent need for attention to the matter, noting that resources must be made available  – yes, good, onward! The catch? They were attributed to a president who left office 25 years ago (Tom Clausen).

Who is your guilty pleasure?

I have a confession to make...

I have a crush on Zac Efron, even though I'm over a decade older than him, and he is most definitely my guilty pleasure.

It is my children's fault, of course, as they are already obsessed with High School Musical and play all three on the TV regularly. I have therefore watched him grow from the young adult into a rather fine man!! #blush

So, in addition to owning all three High School Musicals (including the soundtracks to HSM2 and HSM3!), I also have 17 Again, Hairspray and Me and Orson Wells.

I went to the cinema (alone!) to watch Charlie St Cloud and full intend to go and see New Year's Eve.

I am also rather taken with the 2012 official calendar, now that he's old enough for me not to feel icky about it, but I doubt Father Christmas will go for it somehow.

That's it then... my secret is out!!

So, rather than leaving me hanging and potentially looking foolish, it's your turn. Come on then... confession time...who is your guilty pleasure?

The Ocean At The End Of The Lane

On Wednesday I picked up a new book from the library despite telling myself I wanted no new books for a while. But I just had to read The Ocean At The End Of The Lane. I've like Neil Gaiman for a few years now. Sandman is epic and American Gods was a brilliant read. But it was reading Amanda Palmer's blog about the book which made me really want to get it.

I am so glad I did.

I will try my best to talk about it without spoilers. It should be easy to do. You see, what is good about the book is not the story. It's the feeling I was left with afterwards. I felt sad and a little bit lost. I felt like the teenager I was an still am in many ways. This book left me remembering every time I had felt lonely or scared. Every time I had felt small in the face of the universe. Every time I had felt that I knew nothing and everything at the same time.

When I finished the book I cuddled up to my husband and laid my head on his chest just so I could hear his heartbeat. I needed to be grounded. I needed to be pulled back into my present and away from my past. Because, for me, that is what this book is about. The past. Our individual pasts. It doesn't matter who the book is about or what happens to them. This book could be about each and every one of us and how we felt as a child, as a teenager and even as an adult. It's about when we felt small.

There is so much more to say about this book but I don't have the language to do it. There are not words enough to describe it's beauty. You should go read it for yourselves. Now.

I'll be here with a hug when you're done.

Referral Strategies – Building Blocks for your Business

A glorified term for word-of-mouth marketing, referral marketing, is one of the most effective and enticing forms of generating or enhancing sales. In this day and age of fast pace business and cutthroat competition, companies don’t waste tip-toeing for leads or sales, they are upfront, open and quick with marketing their business. Platforms like BNI have been of tremendous help for growing businesses to network and increase their customer/client base. But such platforms aside, networking will convert to sales only if one has a strong referral strategy.

One of the best things about referrals is that they are personal. Those who know you and your business, the quality of your work/service and your expectations are going out of their way to get you business. Referral sources are reliable, but you must remember they are referring you to someone who is close to them. So all in all this is an interpersonal network, which comes with a lot of responsibility and trust! They want to keep their relationship intact with the person who they making the referral to  and so they will have to be satisfied with your service to refer you.

Cut to the chase by asking for an introduction. If you constantly attach the term referrals to them, you might end up developing an estranged relationship rather than a personal one. You know them, they know you; go ahead and ask them for an introduction, that shows you are comfortable with them and have no fear of asking them. This feeling that you like and trust them, and are so open with them; will just get them closer to you. They realise they are more than just referrals.

Make sure you are clear about the kind of introduction you are looking for, so that your referral knows who to put you in touch with. Right from sharing your business status and expectations, and who you think is the best fit to make an offer, your referrals should have an idea about what you need so that they don’t feel the burden is on them to start from scratch. Speaking about sharing information, get you referrals too to talk. What they think about your product/service, is it shareable, who they think will benefit from our offer, et al. After all this is a mutual effort; you need to know if your referral is convinced of your service, then only will you know to what extent they will help you.

Set a target for yourself.  Ask for one introduction per day which will eventually lead to 250 per year; which is quite a sizable amount. These numbers will hold you accountable and push you to reach the desirable target. Host exclusive, invitation only events to attract new clients. Invite your clients and your prospects and you will you clients doing your selling for you.

And of course; you must say your thank you to your referrals. Apart from promotional strategies like discounts or gift coupons, you can go a step further like sending them a bottle of exquisite wine or chocolates with a handwritten note or gifting them a dinner for two. This shows your appreciation and affection to them and to your relationship with them.

With something as important and delicate as referral strategies, you must keep in mind that though business pursuits build the foundation to your relationship, there is a strong understanding of personality and development of friendship keeps this ship afloat!

Globe Telecom is in trouble, SMART Communications, Inc. is not that much better…

Globe has recently been dominant in my feeds. unfortunately for the telco it’s not positive news at all. Globe got blasted for managing their network, which according to the NTC is within their rights, via their fair-use policy (FUP) their official response leaves nothing to be desired and could be construed as a cop-out. Why does Globe Telecom compare themselves to US carriers? US carriers over-charge and treat their customers horribly. So I guess the comparison is valid. I don't see the US comparison as justifying their FUP but as an admission of guilt that their service sucks!
Smart Communications, Inc. even though I still don't have LTE at home/work since switching (1 year plus) it is clear that their network is better in more places vs Globe (still YMMV). smart's response is a bit more arrogant but they are keeping up for the most part.
The NTC is asking globe to explain the complaints re: their network management tactics. so they will probably get fined, and do some mi…

Congratulations di!

Taking those first steps is the hardest.

If it's been years since you lost with WW, you're in for a pleasant surprise. The points system is simple, continuously refined for utmost nutritional value, and no food is banned. Your daily points allowance is based on your weight, so when you start out and are heavy, you get more points! Gradually over time the points reduce, as you do.

Exercise in some form is absolutely essential now and after you reach goal. A very effective form is using hand weights three times a week. Walking is great, but sometimes hard to work into a schedule.

You will find the weight watchers program is designed so that most people lose 10% of their starting weight by 12 weeks. This is a great morale boost, and enough pounds to make a physical difference.

Something happens in those meetings that keeps your determination up. Maybe it's looking at someone who you think couldn't possibly ever have been heavy. Maybe it's the accountability of stepping on the scale every week. Don't skip them.

Best of luck to you. When I first joined, someone said "if you do this, it will work". It did.

It took a health scare to get me to the first meeting. Hang in there.

I will be 70 1/2 Aug 2001. Much of my retirement income derives from ira's rolled over from my work 401-k's.

I understand there's a statistically derived table that specifies my expected number of years to live after 70 1/2. That value, which changes every year, I believe, is used in the calculation of the amount I have to withdraw from the ira's so that "uncle" gets his pound of flesh each year.

What is that number for me as a male in reasonably good health? Also, I'd appreciate getting directed to articles that go into some detail on what I can expect starting next year.

Yes Duma, there are indeed reams of papers.

A quick look at those posted show almost all are case reports. These are not meaningful, this is what I call "show and tell". Do a neat case and your resident who is fired up to bulk up a CV and send off the case report to a minor journal and everyone is happy. These type publications are not really useful, and most major journals don't accept them anymore. I work on 2 surgical journal editorial boards, and neither takes case reports.

I have still not seen much meaningful literature that robot surgery is "better". It may be equivalent. In general, the "total room time" (wheels in to wheels out) is greater with robotic surgery.

I have no other explanation for why academic places are doing it, but you are right, they are not. My friends fairly quick dismissal speaks to that maybe, for some reason they don't consider it an advance right now. That does not mean it won't be, or that people seeking niches and expsoure won't do it until it is proven, and we are all banking on that happening in some fashion.

Yes, it is amazing that the company can be on track and doing well, and yet the stock lingers with P/E around 10-11. Must be lots of nervousness about an impending downturn out there, keeping it from returning to a reasonable multiple.
