    U.S. Healthcare: Politics, Problems, and Possibilities

    Learn the inner workings of U.S. healthcare

    If you ask your parents to describe healthcare when they were growing up, chances are it was a lot different than it is today. And since the birth of the Affordable Care Act, healthcare has changed even more. In this course, you will learn the history of how the U.S. system works and the turning points that influenced change. Get an in-depth look at the types of insurance available: employer-sponsored, Medicare, Medicaid, private plans and the ACA. You’ll also discover the difficult politics of reform and why healthcare is a flashpoint in our culture. You’ll write short essays, hear from industry experts and even design a plan of your own.

    Biomedical Engineering: Solving the Body’s Challenges with Technology

    Your hands-on introduction to Biomedical Engineering

    Learn the engineering approach to the body. Understand the difference between a scientist, an engineer and a biomedical engineer. Learn the engineering approach to medical problem solving and review current news stories on the topic. Discover the tools biomedical engineers are using. Master the practice of measuring; a key part of the engineering design process. Discover why measurements are a critical part of the engineering design process. What do bioengineers measure? How do they do it exactly? Understand how bioengineers collect data and the many ways they put it to use. Be able to answer the question: how do skeletal muscles work? Look into the mechanical aspects of muscle tissue: learn the relationship between the length of a muscle and the magnitude of the force it can produce. Make predictions about the relationship between muscle length and muscle tension and confirm using data in the form of a graph. Investigate skeletal modeling Find out how to apply simple lever mechanics to the attachment of muscle to bone, and learn how engineers create and use body diagrams. Apply engineering specs to solve problems — such as how much weight a muscle can lift. Discover how the heart muscle works Explore a 3-dimensional model of the heart and make predictions based on the relationship between heart volume and pressure. Confirm your findings through data. Prepare for a future in Biomedical Engineering Topics covered in this course offer a good background for potential careers in fields related to biomedical engineering — Biomaterials Developer, Manufacturing Engineer, Physician, Orthopedic Surgeon, Independent Consultant, Biomedical Scientist/Researcher or Rehabilitation Engineer.

  3. Dear uncle D,

    Please give chance to others. You've already tried fixing the Philippines... lets just say you've done enough. Since I can't speak for others I will just post here my own experiences. None of my relatives in Davao and Manila experienced first hand the cruelty of your PNP. Which makes me doubt if the news I read are true or not. But it does'nt mean that not seeing oxygen makes oxygen not true. From my perspective the PNP is effective at preventing crime.

    The IATF, hhaaayyy. This will get you in trouble in 2022 if Sarah or your people do not succeed you. You still have time to redeem yourself by fixing IATF. Madami genius dyan, ask them to be IATF.

    Bong Go, I don't know him. And I have to be honest I'm not inclined to read about a person who's in every photograph of you. The only thing nice I can say about Bong - He looks angelic. It's the media coverage that makes him less. I suggest you tell media to stop featuring Bong if there's nothing to feature about.

    Which brings my attention to media... ... ... (crickets)

    Please uncle, give chance to others.

    This company is making millions! A wearable Bluetooth device that vibrates when you come near your co-worker! And then sends a message to a central unit for contact tracing. I wonder if they can make a city version of this... the Philippines will surely buy, reminds me of the overpriced body cam. hahaha.

    Philippine Red Cross already had a mobile phone version of this but lost traction. The app consumed too much power from cellphones (drains the battery) and there were privacy issues.

  5. Virgin Galactic Completes First Human Spaceflight!

    Virgin Galactic today completed its third spaceflight and the first ever spaceflight from Spaceport America, New Mexico. Today’s flight sees New Mexico become the third US state to launch humans into space.

    VSS Unity achieved a speed of Mach 3 after being released from the mothership, VMS Eve, and reached space, at an altitude of 55.45 miles before gliding smoothly to a runway landing at Spaceport America.

    On VSS Unity’s flight deck were CJ Sturckow and Dave Mackay, while Kelly Latimer and Michael Masucci piloted VMS Eve. CJ, who flew as pilot-in-command, becomes the first person ever to have flown to space from three different states. The crew experienced extraordinary views of the bright, blue-rimmed curvature of the earth against the blackness of space. New Mexico’s White Sands National Park sparkled brilliantly below. Their experience today gives Virgin Galactic’s Future Astronaut customers a glimpse of what lies ahead.

    Michael Colglazier, Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Galactic, said: “Today’s flight showcased the inherent elegance and safety of our spaceflight system, while marking a major step forward for both Virgin Galactic and human spaceflight in New Mexico. Space travel is a bold and adventurous endeavor, and I am incredibly proud of our talented team for making the dream of private space travel a reality. We will immediately begin processing the data gained from this successful test flight, and we look forward to sharing news on our next planned milestone.”

    Virgin Galactic fulfilled a number of test objectives during the flight, including:

    Carried revenue-generating scientific research experiments as part of NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program.

    Collected data to be used for the final two verification reports that are required as part of the current FAA commercial reusable spacecraft operator’s license.

    Tested the spaceship’s upgraded horizontal stabilizers and flight controls and validated EMI reductions.

    Following the flight, and in line with normal procedures, Virgin Galactic will conduct a review of all test data gathered and thoroughly inspect the spaceship and mothership.  Once the team confirms the results, the Company plans to proceed to the next flight test milestone.

  6. JEFF BEZOS WILL FLY TO SPACE NEXT MONTH!

    Jeff Bezos will be flying to space on the first crewed flight of the New Shepard, the rocket ship made by his space company, Blue Origin. The flight is scheduled for July 20th, just 15 days after he is set to resign as CEO of Amazon.

    Blue Origin said Bezos' younger brother, Mark Bezos, will also join the flight.

    "Ever since I was five years old, I've dreamed of traveling to space," Bezos, 57, said in a Monday morning Instagram post. "On July 20th, I will take that journey with my brother. The greatest adventure, with my best friend."

    If all goes according to plan, Bezos — the world's richest person with a net worth of $187 billion — will be the first of the billionaire space tycoons to experience a ride aboard the rocket technology that he's poured millions into developing. Not even Elon Musk, whose SpaceX builds rockets powerful enough to enter orbit around Earth, has announced plans to travel to space aboard one of his companies human-worthy crew capsules. British billionaire Richard Branson, whose own space company, Virgin Galactic, is planning on conducting flights to suborbital space for ultra-wealthy thrill seekers and competing directly with Blue Origin. Branson has long said he would be among the first passengers aboard Virgin Galactic's rocket-powered plane, but that flight is expected to take place later in 2021.

  7. JOHN WONG who? These news outfits do not check their new sources. You can read the article from this link.

    https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3135814/coronavirus-duterte-urges-public-get-vaccinated-after

    Here's an excerpt with the questionable content

    John Wong, a data analyst on the government’s coronavirus task force, said that in the three months since early inoculations started, just 14 per cent of senior citizens and 8 per cent of people with health conditions had received first doses of a vaccine, short of the 21 per cent target.

    Wong attributed the slow roll-out to limited vaccine supplies, vaccine hesitancy and accessibility problems. “Some people want the vaccine but cannot access it. We need to address access issues,” Wong said. Wong said only half of the 2.1 million people eligible for a second dose had come back to receive it.
