This document outlines concerns with Congress's approach to health care and health insurance reform. It argues that Congress conflates health care costs with health insurance costs, when they should be addressed separately. The high cost of health care, not health insurance profits, drive rising insurance costs. A public option will not create competition to lower rates because insurance profits are already slim. To truly reform costs, Congress must address rising health care costs, not just insurance regulations. The letter urges Congress to be honest if its goal is a government-run system, and to tell citizens directly how their taxes will increase to pay for the uninsured.
The document discusses how telemedicine and the patient-centered medical home model can help integrate healthcare services and provide more accessible and cost-effective care for patients. It outlines how the use of electronic health records and online access allows for coordinated care between providers, easier patient monitoring, and remote consultations. Adopting interoperable electronic health records that meet national standards is key to fully realizing the benefits of the medical home approach and integrating various healthcare services.
A son or daughter's perspective of their father changes dramatically over time, from seeing their father as all-knowing when young, to viewing them as outdated and unreasonable during the teenage years, to later gaining appreciation for all the hardships and sacrifices their father endured to raise them as they become parents themselves.

This document discusses how governments must adapt to the connected digital world. It notes that power is shifting from governments to individuals through social media and technology. Governments' traditional vertical hierarchies are being replaced by horizontal social media communications. Citizens now expect to participate directly in government through crowdsourcing and public consultation online. The document argues that governments must embrace social media and digital tools to remain relevant to citizens and create public value in new ways. It provides examples of how some governments are opening data and crowdsourcing inspections to engage citizens through smart government approaches.
The document is a poem about a mother's unconditional love and sacrifice for her child from birth through adulthood. It describes how the mother was always there to support the child through various milestones like standing, birthdays, starting school, sickness, and independence. It encourages the reader to appreciate how much the mother gave up for her child and to show love and spend time with her before it's too late.
Digital Media in UAE's Public Sector: Current Trends and Missing OpporunitiesIbrahim Elbadawi
This document discusses current trends and opportunities around digital media usage in the United Arab Emirates' public sector. Survey results show that 62% of government organizations officially use social media to interact with citizens about services, and over half of Emiratis and expats support using social media in service design and delivery. However, opportunities around crowdsourcing, sharing information, and offering citizen-oriented services through better social media integration are still being missed. The document advocates for social media to be treated as a strategic philosophy rather than just a tool, and calls for actionable social media strategies and business/cultural changes to fully leverage opportunities.

A 50-year-old post-menopausal woman presented with lower abdominal and pelvic pain for 6 months. Examination found an enlarged, firm uterus. She underwent a total hysterectomy, which found a 5-6 cm submucosal lipoma arising from the posterior wall of the uterus, confirmed by histopathology. Uterine lipomas are rare but present similar to leiomyomas. While clinically thought to be a fibroid, the postoperative finding was actually a lipoma.

2. MAREK DOLEŽAL Na jaře roku 2006 jsem se chtěl stát traťovým komisařem na Masarykově okruhu, ale proto, že mi bylo 17 let, nemohl jsem tuto funkci vykonávat. Myslel jsem, že budu muset čekat do příštího roku, až budu mít 18 let. Vše se ale změnilo v červnu, kdy sem se dozvěděl že v červenci bude další přijímací řízení. Po úvodním školení, které proběhlo na začátku července bylo ještě potřeba o dva týdny později úspěšně vykonat přezkoušení, které bylo formou testu. Test se skládal ze znalostí vlajek používaných při závodech i při volném testování. Když byla za mnou teoretická část, bylo ještě potřeba, udělat zácviky přímo na trati. Zácviky jsem si naplánoval na Mistrovství světa Superbiků. Nemohl jsem jít přímo do akce vytahovat motorky, ale i tak to byla potřebná zkušenost. Zjistil jsem, jak to chodí při závodech na trati i v boxech, kde sem měl možnost potkávat bývalé mistry světa. Netrvalo dlouho a v Brně se konalo Mistrovství světa silničních motocyklů. To už sem měl úvod za sebou, a mohl jsem jít na plno do akcí k trati. Volné i měřené tréninky se neobešly bez nehod na našem úseku, většinou se jednalo o slabší kubatury, třída Moto GP byla bez nehod. Atmosféra v boxech byla skvělá, mechanici se snažili najít ideální nastavení podvozku a motoru, všichni ostatní fotili, natáčeli nebo sledovali časy z měřených tréninků a možné pořadí při nedělním závodu. Někdy projel kolem i nějaký jezdec na skůtru, nebylo ale možné ho zastihnout, protože sotva zastavil, hned se kolem něho sběhl dav lidí a chtěl se s ním fotit. My jsme ale věděli jak na to, stačilo v sobotu po skončení tréninků počkat, až se v boxech pohybuje méně lidí a jezdci tak nespěchají. Jezdce z třídy 125 nebo 250 ccm není těžké zastihnout, ale nejsledovanější Moto GP jsme museli čekat. Nakonec se nám podařilo nafotit skoro celé startovní pole, potkali jsme například Marca Melandriho, Nickyho Hydena, Colina Edwardse, Lorise Capirossiho který vyhrál nedělní závod a nakonec se nám podařilo „nahnat“ i největší hvězdu motoristického sportu Valentina Rossiho.
