As a new year and a new decade kick off, WHO is releasing a list of urgent, global health challenges. This list, developed with input from our experts around the world, reflects a deep concern that leaders are failing to invest enough resourcesin core health priorities and systems. This puts lives, livelihoods and economies in jeopardy. None of these issues are simple to address, but they are within reach. Public health is ultimately a political choice.
This was to have been a year of school recovery, but instead has been turbulent, buffeted by waves of Covid infections. Charter school leaders say they have been consumed with keeping schools open, and have put off thinking about growing again. They and districts face the same headwinds: an immediate teacher and staff shortage, rising chronic absences, huge questions about enrollment next year and long-term projections of a double-digit decline statewide over the next decade.
Charter school enrollment declined the most this year in the areas that for decades have been the strongholds of charter schools: the Bay Area, down 3.6%, Los Angeles County and the San Diego area, both off 3.1%. Those, too, are the regions with the largest drops in overall school enrollment.

Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022 surveys the current state of knowledge of the solar system and recommends a suite of planetary science flagship missions for the decade 2013-2022 that could provide a steady stream of important new discoveries about the solar system. Research priorities defined in the report were selected through a rigorous review that included input from five expert panels. NASA's highest priority large mission should be the Mars Astrobiology Explorer Cacher (MAX-C), a mission to Mars that could help determine whether the planet ever supported life and could also help answer questions about its geologic and climatic history. Other projects should include a mission to Jupiter's icy moon Europa and its subsurface ocean, and the Uranus Orbiter and Probe mission to investigate that planet's interior structure, atmosphere, and composition. For medium-size missions, Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022 recommends that NASA select two new missions to be included in its New Frontiers program, which explores the solar system with frequent, mid-size spacecraft missions. If NASA cannot stay within budget for any of these proposed flagship projects, it should focus on smaller, less expensive missions first.
We have so much to look forward to in this year and so much to celebrate that has brought Peninsula SHRM to where we are today. PenSHRM was established in July 2008 with less than 12 members and has grown to a 130 member chapter at the close of 2019. It takes a lot of work to grow a new chapter and we would like to thank our members for continuing to support our programs, initiatives and efforts to be your chapter of choice. We are thankful to our sponsors and their belief in us as a growing resource for HR and business professionals. Our programs and offerings would not be possible without your support. Our board members volunteer their time to the success of the chapter, our members and sponsors. I thank you, wholeheartedly thank you, for all the late nights and the work you do throughout your busy days.
Five decades ago, the U.S. was a mainly (84%) white nation with an 11% black minority. Hispanics of all races made up 4% of the population, and other races made up the remaining 1%. All these groups grew in the ensuing 50 years, especially Hispanics, whose numbers grew sevenfold, and Asians, whose numbers rose more than thirteenfold.
What are our aspirations over the next decade? First and foremost, we look forward to continuing to lead and our guests from all over the world on transformational and inspirational journeys to meet and swim with the humpback whales on the Silver Bank. With the advent of Sea Hunter we have newfound capacities for crew and staff that we will use to elevate the onboard guest experience.
Customs Duties. Customs duties, which are assessed on certain imports, have averaged 0.2 percent of GDP for the past two decades. Receipts from customs duties rose in the past several years after the implementation of new tariffs. They include tariffs on imports of solar panels and some appliances, which took effect in February 2018; tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from certain countries, which took effect in March 2018; tariffs on a range of products imported from China, which were imposed in 2018 and 2019; and tariffs on certain softwood lumber products from Canada, which took effect in December 2021. (Some of the tariffs on steel and aluminum were later replaced with tariff rate quotas.)4 The additional taxes levied on affected imports vary from 10 percent to 25 percent of the assessed customs value of those products.
To assess those budgetary outcomes, CBO mainly used revenue estimates prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT), which are the official estimates for most tax legislation considered by the Congress. (CBO estimated the cost of the alternative that would extend certain trade promotion programs, as well as the debt-service costs associated with each revenue alternative.) Although estimates for each of the individual provisions would depend on the order in which they were estimated (because of interactions), the total effect of extending all alternative policies discussed in this chapter would be approximately equal to the sum of the estimates for each alternative.5
I believe an effective, integrated, patient-centred model with allied health providers, CCGs, PCNs and NHS Trusts collaborating to maximise the investment in technology and estates, will increasingly begin to turn the dial and deliver a new and improved chapter for the NHS.
As I reflect on my life and hopes for this bright new decade, there are dark moments; much of Australia burns, animals lost, political question marks, inhumanity, simply a quagmire keeping me awake at night with my pondering and musings. But, always, optimism shines through, focusing on stories of compassion and service to others. Spotting rainbows and blue sky amidst the forlorn clouds.
Joy is my #oneword for this year, because each day is such joy. Every moment I wake up, filled with gratitude I am given another day, knowing I can make it through, a step closer to good health and well being. On Christmas Eve I got the good news I still am cancer free, so I have hope the rest of my not so great stuff is on the way out the door, as well, just in time for a new decade.
I decided to share this piece of my life story, it feels so different writing not about schoolhouses or current events, but finding love again when I least expected it. All I wanted for this year is be to settled, at long last, enjoying the twilight of my life and career, making a difference for others. Being loved is my bonus as a new chapter starts, another year and another decade.
There are some marketing teams out there whose primary metric is getting leads. There are also marketing teams focused on return on investments (ROI), pipeline, and revenue. Over time, this primary metric becomes a journey that starts at leads, but hopefully ends with revenue. Revenue and pipeline are also something that sales use to measure success. It may be hard initially to get your marketers to do the same, but it is possible (and preferable).
Meanwhile, Japan will continue its strategic relationship with the United States. At the same time, its aging and declining population, coupled with the social inability of its population to tolerate large-scale immigration, will mean that it will increasingly exploit labor markets in other parts of the world, even in China. According to Friedman, the United States will have to check Japan's rising power, and will do this by providing economic benefits to China to ensure it stays stable and can check Japanese power, in addition to allying with South Korea, and give it generous economic benefits and financial assistance to absorb North Korea when reunification inevitably comes so as to cement ties, while maintaining a cordial relationship with Japan and continue guaranteeing its access to raw materials through the sea lanes to prevent a massive Japanese military buildup.
The speed at which healthcare technology is now developing is staggering. From clinical trials for gene therapies that can cure chronic conditions to the use of AI in diagnosing disease, we are starting to see innovations that were once thought decades away already becoming a reality. MedicalExpo e-magazine caught up with Deborah Cockerill, founder and managing partner at leading London-based healthcare communications and marketing company SCIAD, to discuss her healthcare technology predictions for 2020. 2ff7e9595c
