Robot Nursing - Where Automation Collides with Healthcare Healthcare has always been an innately “human” field. Doctors and nurses aren’t just treating illnesses; they’re treating people. Human compassion and care is an important component in helping patients recover from injury and illness.  With that said, it takes a massive amount of labor to provide individualized care. Our nurses are pushed to their physical, emotional, and mental limits every day in hospitals all over the world. As the population ages and older nurses retire, the remaining nurses are expected to provide the same high-quality care under the pressure of a larger and larger patient base.  That’s where robot nurses can come in. Automation in the field of healthcare is helping to reduce the burden on human nurses so that they can focus on their most important tasks. By integrating technology and automation into healthcare delivery, healthcare leaders can help reduce burnout among nurses and emphasize patient-centered

How to Clean Brass Naturally You don't need strong chemicals to regain that warm glow. Made from a combination of zinc and copper, brass is an ancient and popular metal found in cookware, jewelry, musical instruments (brass band, anyone?), and home decorative objects. If your house is of a certain age, many of your doorknobs may be brass—a bonus because of their natural antimicrobial properties. Cleaning Brass-Plated Items and Lacquered Brass Like the metals from which it is made, brass also tarnishes easily. What is the best way to clean brass? First, you need to determine if your item is, in fact, made of brass. Hold a magnet to your item. If it sticks, the item is not brass, but most likely brass-plated. Use only water and mild detergent to clean brass-plated items, as anything more abrasive could damage the plating. If you have a tarnished or dirty brass piece that needs cleaning, how you do so depends on whether it is lacquered—i.e. coated with a protective glossy finish—or no

Bones: Very small bones like fish bones may be OK in a garbage disposal, but most bones will be a problem. They are very difficult to grind, and Consumer Reports says that even if they are ground up, they can end up in the bottom of some pipes, causing a potential blockage. Onion: This one is very specific. The papery outer
