    A national emergency was declared months ago when the electrical grid went down and stayed down. Times are hard and many die off from starvation and disease. We find ourselves now regaled and intrigued with an amusing story about how an old southern prepper met a beleaguered former Japanese restaurant owner under fearful circumstances in this apocalyptic world. The odd couple are forced to team up in order survive food shortages, old age, armed marauders, and life in general as they plot a course to bug out of their current situation. Walt and Yoshi don’t have much in common and their humorous misunderstandings are many, yet somehow, they find they are kindred spirits and will face come what may together. This is book one of the “Senior Survival” series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: T. David Rutherford. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/134245/bk_acx0_134245_sample.mp3.

    I am encouraged to see healthcare leaders looking beyond the ways they have always done things in the past to implement innovative solutions to curb the industry's skyrocketing costs, poor quality, nursing shortages and employee dissatisfaction; all symptoms of deeper problems inherent in the system itself. Today's forward looking healthcare providers have realized the financial and moral imperatives for improving quality and safety and eliminating waste as strategies for responding to their pressing challenges. Lean Healthcare (adapted from the Toyota Production System) is not just for manufacturing or another short-term fix; it's a way to transform an entire organization into a safe and high-quality, high-performing healthcare delivery system. If implemented properly, it can be the "how to" for managing change and creating continuous improvement. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark La Roi.

The exhibition features a secret revolution in contemporary architecture, examining the social and economic ideals that serve as its foundation.

    Imagine if there was a single, elegant solution to the biggest challenges facing healthcare: chronic disease, escalating costs, physician shortages, care access and affordability, physician burnout, loneliness, and mental health.In his second book, James Maskell shows how the community - specifically, group medical visits - can help us solve these challenges. A supportive community provides the context for ongoing healthy behaviors, a key to reversing chronic illness. By advocating for and facilitating group visits, those who are passionate about health transformation can shift the collective focus to prevention and root cause resolution. The Community Cure is a comprehensive guide to group visits: how they originated, what they are, how to run them, how to avoid pitfalls and overcome challenges, best practices for launching and facilitating a group visit, and online and digital tools for ongoing support. This audiobook empowers administrators, CEOs, staff, and healthcare providers to activate the future of medicine. ungekürzt.

Now the government has hatched a scheme to attract teens and even preteens into the army: they are offering kids a chance to be the star of The Johnny America Show, a reality show set on the battlefront.

    The ability of the NHS to continue to perform its historic function as a tax-funded system of universal health coverage, in the face of a growing and ageing population, costly new drugs and technology, increasing incidence of chronic health conditions, staff shortages, and budget constraints is one of the most important policy questions in modern Britain. This Focus Report draws on a wide range of sources, including academia, public opinion, the media, governments and other think tanks to answer the question: How Can We Build a Sustainable Health Service? We take a non-partisan approach to picking apart issues around NHS funding, asking where the service is falling short and why, tracing historical developments in health care policy, looking to international comparisons, and drawing from a broad range of perspectives to present some of the key choices and options for policy. ungekürzt.
