Public Speaking Time/Open Session In accordance with the Council Procedure Rules, a total period of 30 minutes is allocated for members of the public to speak at Council meetings. Individual members of the public may speak for up to 2 minutes, but the Chair will have discretion to vary this requirement where they consider it appropriate. Members of the public wishing to speak are required to provide notice of this at least three clear working days' in advance of the meeting and should include the question with that notice. Minutes: Mr Stuart Redgard stated he both wanted to praise and scold the Council. He reported he had received outstanding service from two officers of the Council – Helen Davies in Democratic Services and John Dean in Community Enforcement. However, he stated that he could not say the same for the service he had received from Highways and gave as an example the winter gritting routes information, which, he said, was full of errors and omissions and had not been put right despite being informed that it would be in July. He had provided the Council with a list of over 20 questions and requested that written responses be provided for each before the next Council meeting. Councillor C Browne, Chair of the Highways and Transport Committee, undertook to respond to the submitted questions. Mr Andrew Wood asked if the Council would support the proposal for a new farmers market on land in Chelford. Councillor N Mannion, Chair of Economy and Growth Committee, undertook to provide a written response to Mr Wood. Mr Alek Adamski referred to the changes made to the winter gritting routes programme and asked for an immediate review of the programme to take place and that councillor be allowed a free vote to show how many supported the policy of cutting the number of winter gritting routes. He asked who was responsible for the scoring which had removed the road he lived on from the winter gritting route programme. Mr Adamski referred to a Facebook Group that had been set up on this matter which had growing support, along with support of councillors and Town and Parish Councils. Councillor C Browne, Chair of the Highways and Transport Committee, responded that no individual member was responsible for determining which roads were either included or excluded from the programme. A common assessment framework was used consistently across all roads, which has showed that some roads had been included in the programme without rationale. Following the introduction of the assessment framework some roads had been added and others removed but if severe or extreme weather conditions occurred roads not covered by the regular programme would be included. The Council's revenue budget for highways maintenance was £9.5m a year with winter gritting costing just over £2m. The Council had a fixed income and the additional costs of adding back in route to the winter gritting programme would have to be met by reductions elsewhere. A review of the winter gritting routes would be carried out annually and a report was due to come to the Highways and Transport Committee in March 2022. |

To consider any Notices of Motion that have been received in accordance with paragraph 1.30 to 1.34 of the Council Procedure Rules. Minutes: Consideration was given to the following Notices of Motion, which had been submitted in accordance with the Council's Procedure Rules. 1. Protect the Right of Communities to Object to Individual Planning Applications Proposed by Councillor R Vernon and Seconded by Councillor C Bulman This Council believes planning works best when developers and the local community work together to shape local areas and deliver necessary new homes; and therefore, calls on the Government to protect the right of communities to object to individual planning applications. RESOLVED: That the Motion be referred to the appropriate Committee. 2 'Fire and Re-Hire' Proposed by Councillor L Smith and Seconded by Councillor C Naismith This Council notes; 1 1 in 10 workers have experienced 'fire and rehire' - told to reapply for their jobs on worse pay, terms and conditions or face the sack, with BME workers facing this at twice the rate of white workers, since March 2020 (TUC research, January 2021). A quarter of all workers have experienced a worsening of their terms and conditions – including a cut in their pay - since the pandemic began. 2 That while the prime minister has called the practice "unacceptable" he has continually refused to take action to outlaw the practice, raising concerns that he will not intervene in this race to the bottom as an escalating number of employers across all sectors using our weak employment protections employers as they force their staff to accept worse terms and conditions, leaving many having to work longer hours and for lower pay, with what can be devastating consequences for workers and their families. 3 Even before the pandemic, 1 in 9 workers – 3.8 million people – were already 'insecure', meaning they did not have access to basic rights at work and could be dismissed at will; including those on zero-hour contracts and agency workers. This Council therefore resolves to: · Seek to ensure local residents are protected against such employers and agrees to ask the Leader of the Council to write to the Prime Minister demanding he outlaw fire and rehire and act now to keep his promise to local residents to protect their employment terms and conditions. · Not use fire and rehire itself as an employer and to prevent its use by council contractors, and to ensure the Council has a procurement practice that ensures we are working with contractors that have good employment, trade union, equality and environmental records. · Promote the increasing number of progressive local employers prioritising their employees' standard of living and their wellbeing, work with our anchor institutions and key partners to bring forward plans to ensure all have best practice employment and to work with recognised trade unions on this. · Support the TUC campaign for a 'New Deal for Working People'. RESOLVED: That the Motion be referred to the appropriate Committee. 3 Headquarters for Great British Railways Proposed by Councillor J Clowes and Seconded by Councillor D Browne This Council engages directly with the Transport Secretary Grant Schapps and prioritises ... view the full minutes text for item 34. |
Questions In accordance with paragraph 1.19 of the Council Procedure Rules, opportunity is provided for Members of the Council to ask the Mayor or the Chair of a Committee any question about a matter which the Council, or the Committee has powers, duties or responsibilities. At Council meeting, there will be a maximum question time period of 30 minutes. A period of two minutes will be allowed for each Councillor wishing to ask a question. The Mayor will have the discretion to vary this requirement where they consider it appropriate. Minutes: Cllr A Farrall referred to sink hole in Hobson Street, Macclesfield and asked when the hole would be fixed. Cllr C Browne, Chair of Highways and Transport Committee, responded that it was complex issue as it involved multiple agencies and landowners and that negotiations and discussion were on-going with all involved but unfortunately local authorities did not have the powers to oblige them to work with the Council to solve the matter. Information was available on the Council's website and affected residents kept informed by direct correspondence. Cllr S Akers Smith referred to the removed of roads from the winter gritting route programme and asked when would the volume of complaints received trigger a review of the policy. Cllr C Browne, Chair of Highways and Transport Committee, responded that the policy was to have a common assessment framework which treated all roads, in all wards, fairly and assessed all roads using the same criteria. A report was due to come to the Highways and Transport Committee in March 2022. Cllr S Gardiner asked when day-services and day centres would re-opening following closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic as he had inquiries from Knutsford residents and the Knutsford Lions. Cllr A Moran, Vice Chair Adult and Health Committee, undertook to provide a written answer. Cllr L Smetham referred to the quality of highways maintenance carried out, the Top Up pilot for Town and Parish Councils and that highway maintenance was a matter for the Brough Council and asked what sensible ideas the administration had to access better value for highways work. Cllr C Browne, Chair of Highways and Transport Committee, responded that the contract did not provide for a quality assurance process on highways maintenance work carried out and that it was proposed to bring forward a process of checking of the quality of maintenance work by engineers not employed by the contractor. Cllr R Bailey sought clarity on when grit bins would be provided in her Ward. She indicated that in February 2020 the Portfolio Holder had committed to this. Cllr D Browne, Chair of Highways and Transport Committee, agreed to provide clarification in writing. Cllr D Brown sought clarification over electric charging points which he understood were to be removed from Congleton and re-installed in Wilmslow. Cllr S Corcoran, Leader of the Council, agreed to provide a written response. Cllr S Holland expressed concern about the charges faced by Travelling Fairs to operate in Congleton and asked if these could come to Congleton at no cost. Cllr Mannion, Chair of Economy and Growth Committee undertook to provide a written response if further information was provided to him by Cllr Holland. Cllr L Wardlaw asked that, in the light of tragic death of an MP, was it an opportune moment to re-energise and refresh the Brighter Future programme. Cllr S Corcoran responded that the Members Forum would be the correct place to take body to deal with this question. Cllr L Gilbert referred to the Highways Top Up Scheme and ... view the full minutes text for item 35. |

Need to boost the valuation of the property you're selling? Here's how top House Painters in Brookvale can help.
Whenever there's a need to sell a property, the sellers, the agents, and in some cases, the buyers start rushing things. Rushing the home selling process may help the sellers land cash in their pockets a bit faster. But, they can earn plenty more if they strategize the process with professional House Painters Brookvale.
Homes that are on the market need to be at least "move-in ready" to attract a large number of buyers. A professional interior house painter can help make any house move-in ready. In fact, these professionals treat homes on sale as blank canvases. Their work makes on-sale homes much more desirable.
All of this, of course, has huge impacts on the final selling prices of the homes. Here's how these experts of residential house painting transform each room of homes on sale, helping the sellers earn more –
Transforming the Living Room
Since the living room is the first thing home-hunters notice, professional teams of House Painters Brookvale make sure these rooms look perfect. Living rooms need to feel "chill" and cosy. So, using light paint colours like beige, pale taupe, or light brown always helps. These light colours make the walls of the living rooms feel pleasant.
The room feels lighter and primed for jovial conversations. Of course, any professional interior house painter will adjust his/her paintwork to match the room's existing aesthetic appeal. Their work will make living room furniture pieces "pop out" and appear more impressive than they actually are.
Painting the Perfect Bedroom
Right after the living room, the bedroom is the second-most visited place for home-hunters on a pursuit. These 'relaxation centres' need to feel pleasant and airy. That's why colours like light blue, light magenta, light yellow, etc., are good for painting bedroom walls. These colours give off the impression of calmness, helping sellers fetch higher selling prices.
Dining Rooms
Light neutral colours work well in any room. They work especially well in dining rooms. These universally loved colours make dining rooms feel open, clean, airy and well-maintained. Since most potential home buyers sit down in the dining rooms of the properties they're interested in, visualizing them and picking paint colours that may impress them is vital.
Thankfully, the best residential house painting experts always consider these factors when they're painting dining rooms in properties that are on sale. Their work makes the dining room feel separate, spacious, and super-welcoming.
The Utility Rooms
Although high-quality paintwork isn't the first quality people demand from their bathrooms or kitchens, research has found that property buyers are likely to pay higher prices for homes with well-painted bathrooms and kitchens. Neat paints give the impression of cleanliness. That's why colours like soft grey or light navy blue always work well inside these rooms.
Professional House Painters Brookvale can transform homes on sale into beautiful blank canvases using these tricks. Their work adds much more value to the property, so these presale paint services are definitely worth the investment. With the support of these painters and their appealing colours, sellers can sell their properties faster and for better prices!

Manny Ramirez's last great season was 2008. Putting up a mammoth .432 wOBA and 168 wRC+, Manny was good for 6.2 wins. After joining the Dodgers, he essentially carried the team to the playoffs himself with a Barry Bonds-esque wOBA of .500 for the final 53 games.
Never has a player's decline been so clearly one-dimensional.
Last year, as we all know, Manny was still a productive hitter but nowhere near the force he was two years prior. A glance at the four factors was, for me at least, surprising. Manny put up very similar walk and strikeout rates, and his BABIP was roughly the same. The obvious culprit, then, is his power. His ISO fell precipitously from .270 to .162, his HR per 150 games was more than halved from 36 to 15, he hit fewer doubles and triples, and his HR/FB fell from 22.2% to 12.7%.
Many scouts have been whispering about Manny's declining bat speed. It's unclear, however, whether this is true, or whether Manny has even suffered a power decline, as Slugging% and HR/FB are two of the slowest to stabilize statistics. Looking at some of Manny's more fundamental scouting statistics might, however, allow for a clearer picture.
First consider how often Manny has been utterly owned by an opposing pitching fastball. If Manny's bat speed is indeed decreased, it would stand to reason that he would whiff more often on high speed pitches.
2008 Whiff% | 2010 Whiff% | |
<92 | 7 | 3.4 |
92-93 | 9.7 | 8.1 |
93-94 | 11.3 | 5.9 |
94-95 | 5.9 | 4.7 |
95-96 | 7 | 5.3* |
96-97 | 9.8 | 9.1* |
97+ | 17.2* | 8.9* |
*Fewer than 50 pitches
This data is not very conclusive. Manny is whiffing less on fastballs of EVERY speed. This is obviously the opposite of what was predicted above. Given that Manny also swung less, it's probable that this is a result of more selective swinging than anything else. We can't, however, point to this as evidence of diminished bat speed.
Another logical place to look would be Manny's ability to make "good contact". I looked at the portion of swings that Manny was able to land in the field of play for each pitch type per swing. Although not ideal, looking at what portion of swings ended up actually being balls in play is a measure of effective contact, in that it eliminates weak foul balls and whiffs (although it still includes weak ground balls and soft fly balls).
2008 BIP per Swing |
2010 BIP per Swing |
Fastballs | 38.4% | 35.2% |
Sliders | 32.9% | 27.9% |
Curveballs | 50.0% | 31.9% |
Changeups | 36.2% | 47.5% |
This data suggests that Manny indeed had a harder time being productive with his swings, and so that he had less time to time them, as the ball landed in play less often against every pitch (except changeups).
In this situation, Hit F/X data would be absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, it has yet to be publicly available. As a result, we can't clearly say whether or not Manny's bat is indeed hitting the ball less or more hard. Given that this suggests that he is hitting fastballs less well but still hitting changeups well, it seems as though Manny's bat speed is indeed declining. That being said, given the dubiousness of these measures as indicators of bat speed in general, it's hard to state that with a significant of confidence.

Q.My twisted willow has turned yellow
Hello, A week ago I pruned 2 branches from my twisted willow tree (approx 20ft high/ 16yrs old) In the last week it has turned completely yellow and looks like its dying. Could it be an infection from pruning or early autumn leave drop due to long dry summer? will it recover? 12.09.2018 Swindon, Wilsthire
Kind regards
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
What you describe is most likely due to "early autumn leaf drop due to long dry summer" and not from the pruning of two branches. It should recover and leaf out normally in spring.
Soil fertility and water management are important for plant health and resistance to drought stress. Apply a complete fertilizer in the early spring, mulch the soil surface to help retain soil moisture, and water appropriately through the dry periods. Willows are water loving and grow on the banks of streams and ponds in their native habitat.

Alfa matters just down the road. He gets up to grab a beer from the fridge, the fruit and veggie board at the beginning of the week, a wilting in the crisper. There is a dark shape in the doorway at the edge of his vision, gone before he can turn toward it. Maddie, he calls now, the soft click of her shutting the door to her room. It's no good. She didn't used to hide in her room all the time. Even if she is sick, she must need something he knocks at the door. Can I get you a lemonade? I'm fine, dad, Go away! He knocks again. The door opens a crack, her face swollen and red with fury. The rest of her, though there's not as much of it. What I'll take you to the doctor, love. Look at you. You've lost white. No, dad. He surprised how she reacts, man, he loved the doctor is a girl.

The Supreme Court Has To Decide
Right now, there's a case before the Supreme Court, and it's on the docket, wherein they must act and stand by the law. It's This one.

Petitioner is asking that all sorts of folks be fired, Trump restored temporarily as president, and a new election to be held and the law to be followed appropriately. Astonishing. Can't wait! Another is the Missouri vs. Biden which is examining the federal governments illegally dictating to social channels and media to censor what they didn't want told, like the Hunter Biden laptop evidence of criminal activity.

If your house in San Antonio, TX has been flooded, starting recovery as soon as possible is essential.
Here are some tips from LeapFrog Insurance on what you should do immediately after a flood.
Avoid disaster areas until cleared by emergency services.
Disaster areas are often unstable and dangerous after a flood. Floodwaters can damage buildings and infrastructure, making them unsafe. Debris and contaminants can also be present in floodwaters, making them hazardous to people and animals. Emergency services will assess the area and determine when people are safe to return.
Please reach out to your loved ones to let them know you're okay.
If you have been affected by a flood, you must let your loved ones know you are okay. This will help to ease their anxiety and worry. In addition, it will allow them to provide you with any support or assistance you may need.
Promptly call your flood insurance provider.
If you have flood insurance, you must promptly call your provider after a flood. This is because you will need to file a claim to receive compensation for any damages caused by the flood. If you wait too long to call your provider, you may miss the deadline for filing a claim, and you will not be able to get any money to help pay for repairs.
It's always better to be safe than sorry. If you live in an area prone to flooding, it's a good idea to get flood insurance before a disaster happens. If a flood damages your home, you will be covered. Flood insurance can help you repair or rebuild your home, and it can also help you replace your belongings.
LeapFrog Insurance in San Antonio, TX offers flood insurance to help protect your home or business from flood damage. We offer a variety of coverage options to fit your needs and budget. Please reach out to us today to learn more about our flood insurance options and how we can help you protect your property from flood damage.

County: Dorset

Lieutenancy Area (Ceremonial County): Dorset
Church of England Parish: Broadwindsor with Burstock St John the Baptist
Church of England Diocese: Salisbury
The monument includes Lewesdon hillfort, a large univallate hillfort on the
top of a narrow hill, 525m north east of Brimbley Coombe Farm. It is one of
four hillforts within 8km at the western end of the Marshwood Vale. All four
are the subject of separate schedulings.
The hillfort is defended on its south western and south eastern sides by a
precipitous scarp. Along the northern side where the slope is less steep
there are traces of an infilled ditch about 7m below the level of the interior
which covers an area of about 1.2ha. At the western and southern ends the
hillfort is approached across narrow ridges which create natural causeways. At
the western end, crossing the ridge, there is a slight ditch, 2.5m wide and
0.5m deep, with traces of an outer bank, 4m wide and up to 0.5m high. Inside
the enclosure there are traces of a bank, up to 0.5m high, running along the
edge of the scarp which may be the remains of an inner rampart. Similarly at
the southern end the slope levels off suggesting an infilled ditch with a
counterscarp bank which crosses the ridge. The line of the ditch continues as
a ledge along the south western scarp for about 80m. There is a possible
internal rampart cutting across the ridge 4m wide and up to 0.8m high at this
end. On the northern side, two trackways approach the top of the hill and cut
through the defences; these are likely to be of a later date. The interior of
the hillfort has been disturbed by gravel digging and timber removal.
All fence and gate posts have been excluded from the scheduling, although the
ground beneath these features is included.
The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract.
It includes a 2 metre boundary around the archaeological features,
considered to be essential for the monument's support and preservation.

Large univallate hillforts are defined as fortified enclosures of varying
shape, ranging in size between 1ha and 10ha, located on hilltops and
surrounded by a single boundary comprising earthworks of massive proportions.
They date to the Iron Age period, most having been constructed and used
between the fourth century BC and the first century AD, although evidence for
earlier use is present at most sites. The size of the earthworks reflects the
ability of certain social groups to mobilise the labour necessary for works on
such a monumental scale, and their function may have had as much to do with
display as defence. Large univallate hillforts are also seen as centres of
redistribution, both for subsistence products and items produced by craftsmen.
The ramparts are of massive proportions except in locations where steepness of
slope precludes easy access. They can vary between 6m and 20m wide and may
survive to a height of 6m. The ditches can measure between 6m and 13m wide and
between 3m and 5m deep. Access to the interior is generally provided by one or
two entrances which often take the form of long passages formed by inturned
ramparts and originally closed by a gate located towards the inner end of the
passageway. The entrance may be flanked by guardrooms and/or accompanied by
outworks. Internal features included timber or stone round houses; large
storage pits and hearths; scattered postholes, stakeholes and gullies; and
square or rectangular buildings supported by four to six posts, often
represented by postholes, and interpreted as raised granaries. Large
univallate hillforts are rare with between 50 and 100 examples recorded
nationally. Most are located within southern England where they occur on the
chalklands of Wessex, Sussex and Kent. The western edge of the distribution is
marked by scattered examples in north Somerset and east Devon, while further
examples occur in central and western England and outliers further north.
Within this distribution considerable regional variation is apparent, both in
their size, rampart structure and the presence or absence of individual
components. In view of the rarity of large univallate hillforts and their
importance in understanding the organisation and regional structure of Iron
Age society, all examples with surviving archaeological remains are believed
to be of national importance.
Lewesdon hillfort survives comparatively well and will contain archaeological
deposits providing information about Iron Age society, economy and
environment. It is one of four hillforts overlooking the western end of the
Marshwood Vale within a distance of 8km representing an unusual concentration.

Why did the Wright Brothers invent the plane?

Many of the highest-profile English tutoring platforms focus on children, including VIPKID and Magic Ears. Ringle created a niche for itself by focusing on adults first, with courses like business English and interview preparation. The South Korea-based startup announced today it has raised an $18 million Series A led by returning investor Must Asset Management, at a valuation of $90 million. Ringle is preparing to launch a program for school kids later this year, and also has plans to open offline educational spaces in South Korea and the United States.
Other participants in the round, which brings Ringle's total raised to $20 million, include returning investors One Asset Management and MoCA Ventures, along with new backer Xolon Invest. Ringle claims its revenue has grown three times every year since it was founded in 2015, and that bookings for lessons have increased by 390% compared to the previous year.
Ringle currently has 700 tutors, who are pre-screened by the company, and 100,000 users. About 30% of its students, who learn through one-on-one live video sessions, are based outside of Korea, including in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Singapore.
Ringle's co-founders are Seunghoon Lee and Sungpah Lee, who both earned MBAs from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. They developed Ringle based on the challenges they faced as non-native English speakers and graduate students in the U.S. The startup was first created to serve professionals who are already established in their careers or in academia. Its students include people who have worked for companies like Google, Amazon, BCG, McKinsey and Samsung Electronics.
Seunghoon Lee told ProWellTech that Ringle creates proprietary learning materials based on current events to keep its students interested. For example, recent topics have included blockchain NFT tech, how the movie "Parasite" portrayed class conflict and global inequalities in vaccine access.
Ringle's tutors are recruited from top universities and need to submit proof of education and verify their school emails. The company's vetting process also includes a mock session with Ringle staff. Lee said applicants are asked to familiarize themselves with some of Ringle's learning materials and lead a full lesson based on its guidance. Ringle assesses candidates on their teaching skills and ability to lead engaging discussions that also hone their students' language skills.
Part of Ringle's new funding is earmarked for its tech platform. It is currently developing a language diagnostics system that tracks the complexity and accuracy of students' spoken English with researchers at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology).
The company already has an AI-based analytics system that uses speech-to-text and measures speech pacing (or words spoken per minute), the amount of filler words and range of words and expressions in lessons. It delivers feedback that allows students to compare their performance with the top 20% of Ringle users in different metrics.
The new language diagnostics system that is currently under development with KAIST will start releasing features over the next few months, including speech fluency scoring, a personalized dictionary and auto-paraphrasing suggestions.
The funding will also be used to create more original learning content, and hire for Ringle's offices in Seoul and San Mateo, California. Ringle also plans to diversify its revenue sources by providing premium content on a subscription basis, and will launch its junior program for students aged 10 and above later this year.

dear all,
the OpenCN trajectory optimisation algorithms are complex, and a high level language as Matlab permits to code and test complex algorithms in a much easier way.
For this reason we used code generation from Matlab Coder and Embedded Coder.
Unfortunately, to our knowledge, Python does not (yet ?) feature advanced C code generation.
What implications does the utilization of Matlab Coder has regarding open source licence ?
We used an academic site licence for generating the C code.
The generated code is completely royalty free.
Since we used an academic Matlab licence, the generated C code is today only for academic use (commercial use excluded). -
If somebody would like to use OpenCN for commercial applications he needs to buy a commercial licence of Matlab, Matlab Coder and Embedded Coder.
We might also buy in the future a commercial licence of these tools.
In this case, the utilization of C generated code would not have have any more restriction.
We keep you updated regarding these issues.
best regards,

FDA Commissioner: Insurers Need To Support Studies In Accelerated Drug Approval Pathway
The Food and Drug Administration's Dr. Robert Califf called on insurers Thursday to help ensure that studies on new drugs in the accelerated approval pathway are still completed.
"I don't think it's just a matter of the FDA making sure the studies get done. This is a community issue where you all have a role to play," Califf, commissioner of food and drugs at the FDA, said during a session at the AHIP Medicare, Medicaid, Duals & Commercial Markets Forum.
The accelerated approval programcreated in 1992, is intended for drugs that aim to treat serious conditions that currently lack effective treatment and helps these drugs get approved faster. They are able to receive accelerated approval by demonstrating a "surrogate endpoint," or an endpoint that could indicate real clinical effects but is not guaranteed.
After receiving accelerated approval, drug sponsors are supposed to conduct post-approval studies to confirm that the drug is in fact clinically effective — though it appears that this is not happening in every case. More than one-third of accelerated approval drugs had incomplete confirmatory trials, a 2022 report from the Office of Inspector General found.
Via the Consolidated Appropriations Act signed into law in December, the FDA now has more control over the drugs in the accelerated approval pathway.
"There are many details but the fundamental issue is the FDA has more authority now to require that the follow-up study gets started before the decision about approval," Califf said. "Secondly, if the follow-up study is negative, streamlining the ability to take the product off the market, because that's been another problem." The process of removing drugs from the market is often difficult and therefore isn't done frequently, he added.
Despite the new power given to the FDA, there are still some barriers with getting these studies completed, including from insurers, Califf said.
"I'm not aware of a major effort by the insurance plans to help people get studies done," he stated. "In fact, what I'm hearing from clinicians out there is just the opposite, that it's very hard to do research in the current environment, there are a lot of negative incentives. … What I'm hearing from doctors is they have no time to participate and they're under intense pressure and many, many barriers from the insurance industry to get the studies done. … We certainly used to be able to blame technology. 'It's just hard to do it. You have to collect all this data, everything's fragmented.' Now we have electronic health records. We have claims, it's all there."
Completing the studies can also support the shift to value-based care, Califf said.
"It's hard to assign value unless you've done the right studies … [Insurers]make it easier for health systems and clinicians to do the right study so we do get the outcomes," he urged.
Ultimately, having complete research will rule out the drugs that don't work and bring down costs, he declared.
"I really urge [insurers] to get beyond being a passive recipient of research and figure out what policies you can institute that actually make it easier to generate the evidence that we all need," Califf said. "I believe, fundamentally as an amateur health economist, that if you spend more of your time generating evidence, you could stop paying for a lot of things because it would be clear that they don't work. And ultimately, your costs will go down."

Do you want to change your television to switch to 4K and enjoy your PS5 as it should be, or simply to abandon the classic LCD in favor of OLED or QLED? Here are the best 4K TV for gaming for you on every budget to buy on Amazon.
Table of Contents
Our Top 7 Picks For The Best 4K TV For Gaming
While 4K UHD and HDR TVs are now the norm in 2022, the market remains diverse. The arrival of several panel technologies, such as OLED and QLED, have been added to the traditional LCD with LED backlighting. Also on the horizon are models using mini-LED and micro-LED technologies.
You will find below our selection of the best TVs on the market, all categories combined. If you are primarily looking for a diagonal, we also have recommendations by screen size:
Conversely, if you are more looking for screen technology, you can find our guides by panel type:
Formerly identical except for the design, LG's C and G ranges are drifting this year since the LG G1 is indeed the only one to benefit from the brand new generation of the manufacturer's EVO panel. The "G" is there for "Gallery" and we must admit that the G1 is above all intended to be hung on the wall, with an ultra-sleek design and successful cable management. It is possible to use these feet, but these are delivered as an option, the wall bracket is however provided.
It remained to be seen what the new slab had in its belly. Its main promise: better brightness, the usual weak point of OLED technology. And the contract is actually fulfilled with an increase of nearly 15% on this point. However, we have not yet reached the heights of Panasonic OLED TVs. The colors are almost perfect without surprises and we find the usual excellence of LG in terms of gaming. If someone is looking for the best 4K TV for PS5, this one is the ideal buy.
It remains to be seen whether this justifies the 200 euros more than the LG C1. From our perspective, it is, especially if you're going to be wall-mounting your TV. To know everything about this screen, head to our test of the LG OLED55G1.
Unsurprisingly, the LG C range remains at the top of the hierarchy of OLED TVs or not. The changes between the CX of 2020 and the C1 released at the start of 2021 are more than minor. The Korean has reserved its new OLED panels for its G1 range which we will not fail to test in due time.
The design does not move and therefore remains as successful as ever. The panel also remains unchanged and we are therefore entitled to perfectly calibrated colors and perfect blacks. Only the peak of luminosity simply remains "correct". Gamers will once again be delighted, with a very responsive screen accompanied by HDMI 2.1 compatibility as well as G-Sync support for PC gamers. A new menu dedicated to the game also accompanies the new version of the operating system.
WebOS goes here to version 6.0 and adopts a new interface that gives pride of place to content, bringing together the different streaming services on the same page. More amazing is the native support for the Google Stadia game streaming service. Among the few weaknesses of the LG 65C1, we particularly note a remote control which is still not backlit.
The LG 65C1 is therefore not a revolution, but imposes itself without forcing too much as one of the best choices of the moment. And not to spoil anything, we already find it cheaper than the 65CX in its time. We talk about it in detail in our test of the LG OLED 65C1.
3- Samsung QE65QN95A (QLED 2021)
While OLED remains our favorite screen technology, Samsung continues to improve LCD with its mini LED technology. In addition to much better contrast management, the mini LED makes it possible to significantly refine the screen. The QN95A is only 2.5 cm thick. A tour de force also made possible in part by the OneConnect box which deports all the connections.
Beyond the look, the Mini LED actually makes it possible to very significantly improve the contrast ratio, even if we are not yet at the level of OLED. We also notice persistent blooming problems (creating a sort of luminous halo in certain areas), in particular on the subtitles. For once, Samsung delivers a well-calibrated panel right out of the box.
The television is also very playful with a very low input lag, support for HDMI 2.1 and even compatibility (for the moment unofficial) with Nvidia's G-Sync. Among its few flaws, we note a cheap remote control and a less effective anti-reflective filter than last year. Still, it's the best 4K TV for Xbox Series X.
If the mini LED technology does not yet fully compete with the OLED, it must be admitted that Samsung delivers here the best LCD television on the market.
4- Panasonic TX-65JZ1500E
For lovers of beautiful cinema images, Panasonic is the reference in the world of OLED. If the company is supplied like everyone else at LG for its OLED panels, it modifies them heavily, in particular with regard to backlighting. The JZ1500E series represents the mid-range of the brand and promises, among other things, better brightness.
And we must note that the contract is fulfilled since we measured a score of 880 cd/m². It's even better than the LG G1 and a record for an OLED panel. As always with Pana, the colorimetry impresses, the Delta E in Filmaker mode being only 0.82. Finally, OLED obliges, the contrast is infinite.
The other point on which we expected the manufacturer at the turn was on HDMI 2.1 and the game more particularly. And it does have to be admitted that with the exception of a 4K 120Hz mode which will arrive with a future update, things are done right, although LG is still staying one step ahead for diehard gamers.
If you're looking for the best 4K TV for gaming, you don't get much better than this model. Too bad, however, that the audio is set back, the look quite forgettable and the price so high. We tell you more in our test of the Panasonic TX65JZ1500E.
5- Philips 55OLED936
If the brand does not have the punch of a Samsung or an LG, Philips continues to benefit from an aficionado base, mainly thanks to its Ambilight technology. The latter uses programmable RGB LEDs to create a lighting atmosphere on the wall behind the screen, all with the aim of improving immersion.
For its 2021 vintage, the manufacturer continues to trust OLED by going to LG. More precisely, we find the same EVO panel as on the G1 series. In practice, this translates into a 20% increase in brightness compared to last year and perfectly calibrated colors. The gaming part has for once been the subject of special attention with a display delay time of only 11 ms.
The sound part stands out from the competition thanks to a sound bar signed Bowers & Wilkins, to which you can add a subwoofer for more punch or satellites for a better surround effect.
But it is above all the Ambilight, present on 4 sides, which will appeal to fans of technology. If third-party solutions exist, we must admit that Philips remains the best for this kind of illumination.
Remains the high price, unsurprisingly. But if you are looking for a very high level OLED panel, you have one of the unique competitors of the LG G1. While waiting for our full test, you can read our handling of the Philips OLED+986.
Although the technology is mainly driven by Samsung, a few other players are trying their hand at QLED. This is the case of TCL, which gives us here a rather pretty and technically attractive television. Among its particularities, we note the possibility of adding a webcam to make video calls via Google Duo.
Designed by TCL, the panel uses a quantum dot panel accompanied by a mini LED backlight. If the infinite blacks of OLED are not achieved, the contrast is fantastic for an LCD panel. Add to that a brightness exceeding 1000 cd / m² and you can enjoy HDR content in good conditions.
With a Delta E of 2.53, the colorimetry is more than correct, even if there is still a little room for TCL to improve. On the gaming side, the copy is quite average. We are certainly entitled to HDMI 2.1 (VRR included), but the input lag in is a little high and the Freesync / G-Sync are absent subscribers.
Google TV completes the picture on the OS side, with its efficient interface and a complete software offer. If it does not come to revolutionize the market, this TV displays an extremely interesting quality-price ratio, especially if you are looking for a large diagonal. We tell you more in our test of the TCL 65C825.
7- Hisense 65U7QF
For a few years now, Hisense has distinguished itself with televisions with an aggressive quality-price ratio. This 65U7QF is no exception to the rule, offering a diagonal of 65 inches for 1000 euros.
An aggressive price that does not mean that the display quality is catastrophic, quite the contrary. So the colorimetry is excellent in SDR and quite correct in HDR. In this mode, we also notice a more than respectable peak in brightness at this price level. On the other hand, players will remain unsatisfied, not only is the persistence noticeable, but it does not support the HDMI 2.1 standard either. It is therefore impossible to use the full possibilities of the new consoles. The Vidaa U operating system offers most major streaming apps , but don't count on installing more advanced software like Kodi.
Despite a few flaws, this Hisense 65U7QF nevertheless stands out as one of the best 4K TV for gaming that you can get for money in this diagonal. If you want to know more, head to our complete test of the 65U7QF.
How To Choose The Best 4K TV For Gaming?
– What Are The Important Points To Look At Before Buying A 4K TV?
Before buying a television, it is important to check several parameters. The first is obviously the diagonal of the screen in order to find the one that best suits your home. It is also necessary to take care of the technology of the slab. We explain all this and many other things in our dedicated guide to buying the right TV.
– How Can I Take Full Advantage of My New Console?
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X both bring very interesting technologies such as VRR ( Variable Refresh Rate ) which limits tearing or ALLM ( Auto Low Latency Mode ) which automatically adjusts the television to reduce latency. They can also run 4K games at up to 120 frames per second. To take advantage of this, however, the television must be HDMI 2.1 compatible. This version of the interface is however for the moment the prerogative of high or mid-range televisions.
– What Are The Brands?
The television market is made up of many brands, but the historical television manufacturers generally remain those in which one can trust: Sony, LG, Samsung and Philips in the lead. Some Chinese manufacturers also manage to regularly offer interesting products like TCL.
– OLED, QLED, LCD, What Are The Differences?
Master technology at present, the OLED has the particularity of resting organic LEDs (hence the "O"). These emit their own light, which means that each pixel is lit independently. Conversely, when we want to display black, it is simply turned off and therefore emits no light. It is for this reason that the contrasts of OLED are said to be "infinite". This is the main advantage of the technology, but there are others.
QLED and LCD are from the same family and require additional lighting. The QLED is therefore an LCD screen, but works with the reinforcement of quantum dots (or quantum dots) to obtain better colors and deeper contrast. On the other hand, the technology is more expensive than the classic LCD, the latter therefore has the advantage of being less expensive. We talk about it in more detail in our article dedicated to screen technologies.
– Mini-LED or micro-LED ?
Despite a similar name, these two technologies are radically different. The first describes a backlighting method using more LEDs than the classic "Full LED" for more contrast.
The micro-LED is for its part a direct competitor to the OLED since each pixel is individually illuminated which gives perfect blacks. On paper, the technology also provides better maximum brightness. However, it remains confined to a few ultra high-end models sold for several tens of thousands of dollars.
Hope this best 4K TV for gaming review will help you in making the best buying decision online.

Please excuse the corny title of this post, and the picture heavy nature of it. It's purely self-indulgent, I assure you. On Saturday, Chris and I found ourselves pining for the days where we lived in the woods, it was such a beautiful Winter day, but no woods to walk through for miles. Instead, we took a walk down to the park and took pictures. Second best, I wish we had gone sledding but there were literally hundreds of children all crowding the little sledding hill. I miss the north. I wanted to take a couple of photos with Chris because he's such a sharp dresser (that's kind of a pun, because his last name is Sharp), and he found this amazing jacket recently when we were at Bobby's. Almost all of what he's wearing is vintage, except for his jeans, gloves, and work boots. Men's style isn't appreciated enough especially around here, people always think I dress him, but the credit is all his. His style is his own. My style for the day was decidedly old country:
Coat: old H&M
Belt: J.Crew Outlet (gift)
Scarf: Thrifted ($5)
Hat: Chris' vintage ($5)
Sweater: Vintage thrifted ($3)
Skirt: Vintage thrifted ($7)
Owl talon necklace: Black Sparrow (gift)
Bracelet: thrifted ($2)
Earlier in the winter I mentioned that I was in need of a new winter coat, I've had this H&M number for four years and while it's held up, I don't really like it. I never ended up finding the right jacket, other than the cape and anorak I always wear (layer, layer, layer!), but for this outfit I needed something longer and closer to the hem of my skirt. I went with the old stand-by once again but found that if I belt it, the silhouette is at least improved. The rest of the outfit came together easily, and was built around my new shoes from ModCloth. At first I wasn't sure about the skinny heel with the big platform, but I love them. They're surprisingly comfortable and easy to walk in (although to get me to this snowy location, Chris had to piggy-back me in, it was quite a spectacle), and of course I love the 70's aspect of them!
After our photo session, we were both freezing, so we headed home for hot chocolate and some reading. The rest of the day was spent at the library, watching movies, and playing wii at a friends house. It has been so cold the past few days, it's only 18 degrees out now, it's hard not to stay indoors at all times!
I'm so excited for what this week has in store. I'm planning a big shop closet update for later this week and Thursday is the big Swap! Happy Monday!
