RB advised that there are two recruitment and retention actions outstanding which will be picked up outside of the meeting. All other actions are complete. CG 30/17 CURRENT PRIORITIES CG 30.1/17 Chief Executive’s Report SA wished to firstly welcome our new and returning Governors. SA advised that last week a Chief Executive briefing was held and a really helpful presentation was made by Amy and Mark which reminded them of the role of the Council. SA’s main highlights included; Our services continue to work under pressure, particularly as winter draws closer and all of our partners are experiencing a surge in demand for services. Maintaining our standards is a challenge due to these system pressures, however we are working closely with our partners to ensure we have things flowing well across all of our care pathways. We continue to escalate and address delayed transfer of care (DToC) and we currently have 28 patients still in hospital who are clinically fit for discharge, however are unable to leave for many reasons, mostly due to awaiting accommodation. We routinely meet with our Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (HOSC) and partners to highlight these issues and seek support. We’ve been working with Sussex Police in reinstating Operation Cavell, as our highest reported incident is violence and aggression towards our staff. With regards to our Thematic Review, which was published in full last year, we’re actively implementing our triangle of care which is about ensuring there’s a good partnership between our patients, carers and local services. PDS queried what is being done to ensure as many staff as possible receive the winter flu vaccination. SA advised that we’re actively promoting this and we’re using it as a safety campaign, however some staff just don’t want the jab due to personal reasons. SA added that our nurse recruitment campaign is on national TV. PDS requested a report on the percentage of staff that get the flu jab from the Trust. SH noted that SA has visited a lot of MPs, however he feels that they lack a lot of understanding about the services in their area. SH asked if Governors can be assured that SA had ensured MPs are aware of how hard our staff are working. SA advised that Governors can be assured and the Chair has joined her on one meeting with an MP. SA added that MPs need to retain a huge amount of knowledge and feels that we can make things easier for them, explaining that we’re holding an informative session at Westminster for support staff to MPs, as they’re usually the first point of contact. PT asked how the impact of the recruitment campaign can be measured. SA advised that our Communications Team have a whole raft of measures, including looking at how many people come back to the team following the video, and we do track the activity of this. PT queried whether there’s a cost benefit for these campaigns. SA advised that we recruited around 40 nurses from our last campaign. MD felt that we still need to spend a lot less on recruitment, however work like to Page 3 of 13 commend Diane Hull’s work at Langley Green Hospital.

  • Common Errors in English by Paul Brians [email protected]
    Common Errors in English by Paul Brians [email protected] http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/ (Brownie points to anyone who catches inconsistencies between the main site and this version.) Note that italics are deliberately omitted on this page. What is an error in English? The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I'll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we're concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak. But isn't one person's mistake another's standard usage? Often enough, but if your standard usage causes other people to consider you stupid or ignorant, you may want to consider changing it. You have the right to express yourself in any manner you please, but if you wish to communicate effectively you should use nonstandard English only when you intend to, rather than fall into it because you don't know any better. I'm learning English as a second language. Will this site help me improve my English? Very likely, though it's really aimed at the most common errors of native speakers. The errors others make in English differ according to the characteristics of their first languages. Speakers of other languages tend to make some specific errors that are uncommon among native speakers, so you may also want to consult sites dealing specifically with English as a second language (see http://www.cln.org/subjects/esl_cur.html and http://esl.about.com/education/adulted/esl/).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis considers the development of the ideology of death articulated in myth and of theories concerning the possibility, in both mythical and 'secular' contexts, of attaining some form of immortality. It covers the archaic period, beginning after Homer and ending with Pindar, and examines an amalgam of (primarily) literary and iconographical evidence. However, this study will also take into account anthropological, archaeological, philosophical and other evidence, as well as related theories from other cultures, where such evidence sheds light on a particular problem. The Homeric epics admit almost no possibility of immortality for mortals, and the possibility of retaining any significant consciousness of 'self' or personal identity after death and integration into the underworld is tailored to the poems rather than representative of any unified theory or belief. The poems of the Epic Cycle, while lacking Homer's strict emphasis on human mortality, nonetheless show little evidence of the range and diversity of types of immortality which develops in the archaic period.

Always available for discussion, always ready to help and explain, he taught me how to solve the problems and moreover how to solve difficult problems myself. His profound understanding and knowledge of almost all areas of physics in combination with his unique talent of explaining complex problems and ideas in a simple way makes him not only an excellent scientist, but also a very good supervisor. Without him this work would never have been accomplished.

    TheOS Whitepaper May 8, 2021 Abstract Introduction Agents in TheOS Key TheOS Mechanics Token Utility Economics Token Staking Utility Token Liquidity Mining Utility Interactions The NFT Minting Process The Auction Process THe NFTIZE Process Definitions Appendix I - NFT Pooling Properties DRAFT The Hyper Economy Operating System (THEOS) “Symbolic communication mechanisms played a significant part in the evolutionary process by allowing plants, animals and humans to exchange individual experiences and thus turning collections of relatively isolated organisms into adaptive distributed cognition systems. By providing aggregated information on comparative values of goods and services to participants with bounded interests and rationality, the economic signalling mechanisms give them incentives to adjust their consumption and production efforts in accordance with the collective requirements of all other agents in the system. The suggested model of a "hypereconomic" system combines flows of globally aggregated scalar information on prices with mechanisms for sharing knowledge about situational utilities of groups of resources. The project presents methods for combining value and utility signalling mechanisms, introduces non-scalar representations of common experiences analogous to derivative financial instruments and researches their efficiency in different types of economics environments.” Source: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/713811 p. 1 Abstract We propose TheOS, an ecosystem design that is set to accommodate the demands of the emerging hyper-economy. While not a vigorously defined academic term, hyper-economy is an ecosystem that is much closer to the Arrow-Debreu complete markets setup, an ecosystem that builds upon the assumption of availability of global instant liquidity for any asset as well as transparent and complete information sets available to every market agent.

  • Tech Giants, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Journalism
    Tech Giants, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Journalism This book examines the impact of the “Big Five” technology companies – Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft – on journalism and the media industries. It looks at the current role of algorithms and artifi- cial intelligence in curating how we consume media and their increasing influence on the production of the news. Exploring the changes that the technology industry and automation have made in the past decade to the production, distribution, and con- sumption of news globally, the book considers what happens to journal- ism once it is produced and enters the media ecosystems of the Internet tech giants – and the impact of social media and AI on such things as fake news in the post-truth age. The audience for this book are students and researchers working in the field of digital media, and journalism studies or media studies more generally. It will also be useful to those who are looking for ex- tended case studies of the role taken by tech giants such as Facebook and Google in the fake news scandal, or the role of Jeff Bezos in transforming The Washington Post. Jason Whittaker is the Head of the School of English and Journalism at the University of Lincoln. He worked for 15 years as a tech journalist and has written extensively on magazine journalism and digital media, most recently as the co-editor of the collection Online Journalism in Africa (2013) and as the author of Magazine Production (2016).
