“Iso hood”

New 'iso hood' invention for Melbourne hospitals

A new invention “Isolation Hood” by Melbourne health workers to protect them from catching coronavirus from their patients has hit hospitals.

A new invention by Melbourne health workers to prevent them catching coronavirus from hospital patients has been described as acting like a “pram cover”.

The new clear plastic “Isolation Hood” is designed to sit over the top of a coronavirus patient in an intensive care bed and contain any infectious droplets they may breathe out.

Victoria’s Western Health infectious diseases head Dr Marion Kainer said the hood acted as a “containment bubble” in which COVID-19 patients could still breathe, but not pass on the disease through droplet transmission.

Dr Kainer said within the hood, a patient could have hundreds of air exchanges while still keeping the air outside the bubble clear.

She said it was a promising invention designed to lower the infection rate of COVID-19 among health care workers in Victoria as hospitals fill with hundreds of new cases.

A Western Health video featuring the new invention says “it’s goign to make people feel safe and it’s going to make patient care better”.

The Isolation Hood will initially be made available in three hospitals operated by Western Health, including Sunshine Hospital, Footscray and Williamstown.

Photo by  Andrea Piacquadio  from  Pexels The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code — not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death. - Guido van Rossum Python  is one of the most used  programming languages  in the world, and that can be contributed to its  general-purpose nature , which makes it a suitable candidate for various domains in the industry. With Python, you can develop programs  not just for the web , but also for  desktop and command-line . Python can be suitable for programmers of varying skill levels, right from the students to  intermediate developers, to experts and professionals.  But every programming language requires constant learning, and its the same case with Python.

Asus' ROG brand is synonymous with gaming, so its design choices are often extravagant. That's a trait that continues with the ROG Phone 3: its got a RGB light-up rear logo and a design that's altogether similar to its predecessor, the ROG Phone 2. In the box the ROG Phone 3 includes a case with various openings to aid with cooling, plus a clip-on cooling fan to help out when things really step up a notch. Design AirTrigger 3 pressure-sensitive touch sensors Under screen fingerprint scanner Dimensions: 171 x 78 x 9.9mm Google Stadia (3 months free) RGB light-up rear logo Weight: 240g It's no small device, though, measuring just shy of 10mm thick at its largest, and weighing 240g.

That's where its AirTrigger system comes into play - a pressure-sensitive setup, delivering shoulder buttons that can b...

Best GTA games, ranked from worst to best

From the unending sprawl of   GTA 5   to the neon lights of Vice City, the Grand Theft Auto series has blessed with some of the greatest games of the past 20 years. But which one is the best? We’ve driven down memory lane – knocking over pedestrians in the process – to come up with this list: the best GTA games ranked worst to best. We’re interested in the main GTA series, so we’re not ranking handheld games or expansions. We’re also excluding GTA 1 and 2: both are amazing in their own right, but they’re both top-down, PS1-era games that stand apart from later entries. GTA 3 was the one that established the 3D open-world formula we know and love, so we’re starting there. Essentially, we’re talking about the five main games, comprising GTA 3, GTA 4, GTA 5, San Andreas, and Vice City. It’s also worth saying that the “worst” game on this list (spoiler: it’s GTA 3) is still a masterpiece. It’s just that the others are even better. With those qualifications out the way, let’s crack...
