![]() ![]() As Jane Litte at Dear Author and John Jeremy at Teleread observe: This tool can be used to "create own Cloud of eBooks" and thereby read and allow downloads and emails from one's Calibre library via the Calibre folder in Box.net, Dropbox, or Google Drive. Place your calibre library in your Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive folder, and be able to view, search, and download from your library anywhere". Calibre Cloud (free) and Calibre Cloud Pro (paid), apps by Intrepid Logic that let one "access your Calibre e-book library from anywhere in the world.Since version 1.15, released in December 2013, Calibre also contains an application to create and edit e-books directly, similar to the more full-featured editor tools of the Sigil application, but without the latter's WYSIWYG editing mode. Also, if the Calibre library on the host computer is stored in a cloud service, such as Box.net, Google Drive, or Dropbox, then either the cloud service or a third-party app, such as Calibre Cloud or CalibreBox, can remotely access the library. This can be accomplished via a web browser, if the host computer is running and the device and host computer share the same network in this case, pushing harvested content from content sources is supported on a regular interval (called 'subscription'). Mailing e-books enables, for example, sending personal documents to the Amazon Kindle family of e-readers and tablet computers. E-books can then be exported to all supported reading devices via USB, Calibre's integrated mail server, or wirelessly. This conversion is facilitated by so-called recipes, short programs written in a Python-based domain-specific language. Also, online content can be harvested and converted to e-books. Į-books can be imported into the Calibre library, either by sideloading files manually or by wirelessly syncing an e-book reading device with the cloud storage service in which the Calibre library is backed up, or with the computer on which Calibre resides. Full text search is available from Calibre 6.0 onwards. It is possible to search the Calibre library by various fields, such as author, title, or keyword. Metadata can be pulled from many different sources, e.g., online booksellers and providers of free e-books and periodicals in the US and elsewhere, such as the Internet Archive, Munsey's Magazine, and Project Gutenberg and social networking sites for readers, such as Goodreads and LibraryThing. Ĭalibre allows users to sort and group e-books by metadata fields. Calibre does not natively support DRM removal, but may allow DRM removal after installing plug-ins with such a function. Conversion and editing are easily applied to appropriately licensed digital books, but commercially purchased e-books may need to have digital rights management (DRM) restrictions removed. Most e-book formats can be edited, for example, by changing the font, font size, margins, and metadata, and by adding an auto-generated table of contents. Features Ĭalibre supports many file formats and reading devices. In 2008, the program, for which a graphical user interface was developed, was renamed "calibre", displayed in all lowercase. With support from the MobileRead forums, Goyal reverse-engineered the proprietary Broad Band eBook ( BBeB) file format. On 31 October 2006, when Sony introduced its PRS-500 e-reader, Kovid Goyal started developing libprs500, aiming mainly to enable use of the PRS-500 formats on Linux. Books in other formats like MOBI must first be converted to those formats, if they are to be edited. Editing books is supported for EPUB and AZW3 formats. Calibre supports organizing existing e-books into virtual libraries, displaying, editing, creating and converting e-books, as well as syncing e-books with a variety of e-readers. ![]() Calibre ( / ˈ k æ l ɪ b ər/, stylised calibre) is a cross-platform free and open-source suite of e-book software. ![]() ![]() ![]() “His archiving these proofs show how important they actually are, and that they too are important works of art as well. “For Johns, however, that was very much not the case as he saved, and signed them,” notes Voglelman. Another part of the Johns’ Japanese gallery revolves around his latter-day recollections of his time there, “from a geographical distance,” entitled Usuyuki, which includes a handful of prints and drawings not viewed in the United States since 1983.Īnother singular space within the Johns’ exhibition revolved around trial and working proofs rarely seen by the public as they’re not often looked upon as part of the artist’s work. Along with personal lent from Johns’ own collection from his time in Japan are a handful of paintings and objets from Japanese artists and friends whose work also glean influence from Duchamp. ![]() These rarely-viewed paintings and drawings in the Johns/Japan gallery has a biographical portion surveying the painter’s earliest relationship with Japan during his time in the Army, as well as his return (a three-month residency through the Minami Gallery) once his stardom was established in 1964. “While the Whitney is focused strictly on American art, we are an encyclopedic institution from the past to the present day, globally, and, for this exhibition, we have a gallery focused on Johns’ relationship to Japan.” 2021 Jasper Johns/VAGA at Artists Rights Society, New York With that, the autonomous, yet unified twin exhibitions at Philadelphia’s Museum of Art and the Whitney is defined by its context in relation to each academy’s definition. Originally intended to debut during Johns’ 90th birthday in 2020 (slowed by COVID’s restrictions), “Mind/Mirror’s” multi-room setting just happens to coincide with the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s new look and expansion. “Mind/Mirror’ helps portray their narrative thread and how Johns was an inheritor of Duchamp’s legacy,” states Vogelman, pointing toward Jasper’s 1960 bronze and glass Flashlight for proof. Vogelman and I discuss the “intimate connection” of Johns to Duchamp, and how the latter’s longtime permanent collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art led to a friendship between the Dada elder and the young painter after Johns and Robert Rauschenberg visited the Philly Duchamp exhibition in 1958. “Johns is responsible for the shock waves that went through the art world at that time. Key to its effect is Johns’ use of encaustic: A mix of pigment and wax, which he applied in short strokes over skeins of collaged newspapers tantalizingly visible under translucent daubs of color, they’re impossible to read.“Jasper changed the landscape of American art in 1954 when he made Flag,” says Sarah Vogelman, the PMoA’s Exhibition Assistant for this retrospective, regarding Johns’ launching of Pop Art, Conceptualism, and Minimalism. But is it an image of a thing or the thing itself? Both and neither: A mute presence, yet also an ironic commentary on America’s superpower status by a gay Southerner obliged to deal with the macho pretentiousness around him. Obvious on its face, it is a rendering of Old Glory on a canvas conforming to its shape. ![]() Johns’ breakthrough Flag from 1954 (which came to him in a dream), was a particularly provocative riposte to AbEx. He countered their performative sturm und drang with subjects that obdurately concealed as much as they revealed. By reviving Marcel Duchamp’s readymade aesthetic through painting (a medium Duchamp himself disparaged), Johns coolly dissected the broad, gestural psychodrama of artists such as Pollock and De Kooning. NYC’s art scene was still dominated by Abstract Expressionism, the movement that had brought American artists to the dance of art-historical relevance. His work became a sensation, eventually pointing the way to the rise of Pop Art, Minimalism, and Conceptualism in the following decade. Castelli gave Johns his first show in 1958, which nearly sold out. Within five years, he’d risen to art stardom, thanks, in part, to Johns’s lover at the time, Robert Rauschenberg, who introduced him to the legendary gallerist Leo Castelli. Raised in South Carolina, Johns moved to New York City in 1953, when he was twenty-three. From the start, he’s stirred up cloudy enigmas around the simplest of images (flags, targets, numbers, maps) and objects (silverware, beer cans, lightbulbs), and continued to muddy his work’s meaning even as it grew more autobiographical. Halfway through the sixth decade of his career, Johns’s output has been prodigious enough to demand a retrospective hosted by not one, but two institutions: The Whitney and The Philadelphia Museum of Art.Ī titanic figure in art history, Johns’s achievements are all the more remarkable given his preference for turbidity over clarity. ![]() At ninety-one, Jasper Johns has been around for so long that it’s easy to forget that he is-well, still around. ![]() ![]() The more we can do to treat patients in the home helps with both utilization and the cost of care.ģ. If fewer individuals are going to the ER, then there isn't a need to bring on more staff to treat them at the ER. This reduction in utilization not only lessens the system burden by freeing up beds in the ER but also affects costs. Now that organizations are considering more proactive methods to administering care to patients beyond the four walls of the hospital, proven technologies can play a key role in making these goals attainable.Īs more payers seek to reduce unnecessary utilization, they can explore PERS and RPM technologies that offer more time-sensitive treatment and reduce the inclination for patients to go to the emergency room (ER) for care. If we can reduce the burden on these staffers while also making the patient experience more meaningful, we can generate user satisfaction and retain our tireless workers.Ĭonnected care technology is a critical component of the utilization and cost dynamic in healthcare. The work that clinical frontline staffers are trying to do is important, but they also have more on their plate than ever. A recent survey conducted by Morning Consultfound that since February 2020, 30% of healthcare workers have either lost their jobs or quit. Utilizing technological features that are easy for senior adult patients to use and provides them with a sense of comfort while receiving consistent care goes a long way towards satisfaction and engagement.Īdditionally, since we're amid a healthcare worker shortage that is only getting worse these tools can help mitigate the labor gap. ![]() Payers can benefit from tools or processes that boost the patient experience, especially as more quality standards account for this metric. "Information on how the innovation incorporates into provider workflow, the ease of use for patients/consumers and impact on quality of life (not just improved health) must become routine parts of clinical evidence development."īelow are five ways these new technologies and care delivery models can assist health insurers to achieve the quadruple aim. "All stakeholders need to collaborate to document and develop evidence on connected care innovations aligned with the Quadruple Aim," the blog post read. Similarly, a HIMSS blog post published in June recommended the adoption of connected care solutions, such as personal emergency response systems (PERS) or remote patient monitoring (RPM), to support efforts to accomplish the Quadruple Aim. ![]() ![]() "Leveraging simulation and human factors will support a resilient and sustainable response to the pandemic in a transformed health care landscape," the researchers wrote. The study underscored how new technologies and human factors can boost the patient experience, promote population health, drive down costs, and improve health worker wellness. ![]() Research recently published in the American Journal of Medical Quality detailed the pursuit of the Quadruple Aim throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent opportunities to reshape the traditional healthcare delivery model. While it's a noble ambition to focus on enhancing the patient experience, improving population health, reducing costs, and improving the work life of healthcare providers, it takes a lot of effort to make that happen.Īs with any industry-related goal, the Quadruple Aim can be best achieved through targeted investments of resources and innovations.

Many films based on video games have often received generally mixed or negative reviews, often for their screenplays, casting choices, and lack of originality or loyalty to the source material. Also included are short films, cutscene films (made up of cutscenes and cinematics from the actual games), documentaries with video games as their subjects and films in which video games play a large part (such as Tron or WarGames). They include their scores on Rotten Tomatoes, the region in which they were released, approximate budget, their approximate box office revenue (for theatrical releases), distributor of the film, and the publisher of the original game at the time the film was made (this means that publishers may change between two adaptations of the same game or game series, such as Mortal Kombat).
