The film also reunited Zalla with Derbez who both produced Radical and stars as Sergio Radical premiered during this year's Sundance Film Festival "It was a wonderful full circle moment," Zalla says after a traumatic week of trying to get our movie noticed and feeling like we had failed hearing my name called for the Grand Jury Prize at the end of the night I don't remember my acceptance speech because it was drowned out by an inner voice: 'You are a fraud You are a fraud…' But this time was different In the years between Padre nuestro and Radical "I've become much more comfortable with the notion of a director's 'vision.' I used to consider the concept pretentious and was quite cynical about it which may have undermined my own efforts," he explains I've come to see that having a vision is in fact the essence of the job and my primary purpose." Zalla shares with A.frame the five films that shaped him into the director he is today with the caveat that "picking 5 is entirely unfair because I won't get to mention so many..."

Understanding this about Daniel helps explain the title of his senior thesis exhibit, “Old Masters: Young Artist,” that was on display at the Xavier Art Gallery in February. Some of it can be viewed on his Instagram page Studying at the Academy will help him to increase his skills in areas he wants to perfect He also said the Academy will teach him how to think He wants to see the world in a way that is similar to how the masters did during the Renaissance “In an art world obsessed with post-modernism and an ‘anything goes’ style of creation I find a necessary foundation in the truths of beauty established by the old masters and classical realism,” Daniel said When asked about how he first became interested in art Daniel said it began when he was a little boy so I would take a stack of blank computer paper that my mother kept and start to draw on it,” he said Daniel had developed into a skilled artist with talent using a variety of media varying from graphite sketches to woodprints to oil paint—his preferred medium Daniel’s art is packed with symbolism that he compares to interpreting a dream “Wise Men,” features three of Xavier’s well-known Jesuits—Father Al Bischoff Graham and Father Luke Hansen of the Center for Faith and Justice and the truth is coming from the sun in the center This miniature solar system is meant to symbolize the scientific side Daniel has an appreciation and respect for the Jesuits not only current ones but those from the past as well Another piece titled “La Primavera” features three members of his family reflecting how important his family is to him holding a butterfly net and trying to catch a few in the air This painting is appealing because it incorporates an original drawing with butterflies dogs and flowers that Daniel drew when he was 4 years old The people in the painting are engaged in the same activities as the characters in the drawing he did as a child reflecting his deep connections with these three family members from the very beginning They have all watched his talents grow first-hand He will likely come back to the states to pursue an advanced degree He wants to get a master’s for two reasons: In case he wants to teach in the future; and because earning a graduate degree might give him the most freedom to pursue his art career Daniel has truly enjoyed his past few years at Xavier and attributes a good portion of his success to his professors and others who helped and encouraged him along his journey “Xavier has been extremely helpful for my artistic growth especially certain professors such as Bruce Erikson,” Daniel said “He has opened my eyes to many considerations about why we make art and the meanings that each decision in a painting holds He is constantly pushing me to take my work in different directions and never to give up experimenting and learning.” Daniel encourages young artists to pursue their passion to be humble enough to accept criticism but bold enough to persevere along their own path Learn more about majoring in Fine Art at Xavier University Xavier University is a private university located in Cincinnati providing a liberal arts education in the Jesuit Catholic tradition (WKRC) - A Burlington man was allegedly caught recording video in a St Elizabeth Primary Care in Florence on May 14 She told police she heard something fall to the floor and noticed it was a phone recording video She turned it over to a staff member and requested the video be deleted It was deleted and the phone was returned to the owner The woman's husband later called Florence Police He and his wife told police they weren't happy how the incident was handled they says he admitted to recording in bathrooms for years and he did it for the "thrill" Duane also admitted to deleting the videos after watching them He is charged with voyeurism and tampering with evidence Duane was an employee of Zalla Companies and was doing maintenance for St The company released the following statement: A man arrested last week for allegedly having a gun in the parking lot of the Jewish Federation of Detroit's building has been charged was arraigned Monday through 48th District Court in Bloomfield Hills on a charge of felonious assault A judge set his bond at $100,000 and scheduled his next court date for next Tuesday Police arrested Zalla last Thursday after officers were called at about 11:30 a.m. to the Max M.

film Radical Zalla is the writer and director of the critically-acclaimed film Sangre De Mi Sangre which won the US Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival Coming off the success of the Academy Award-winning film CODA Derbez gives a career-defining performance as Sergio Radical debuted as the opening night film at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival It won the audience award for Festival Favorite across all 111 features that debuted there The film is a production of 3Pas Studios and stars Derbez The journey of bringing Radical to the screen began with a Wired magazine article about a Mexican teacher named Sergio Juárez Correa who had helped his students achieve remarkable academic success despite their impoverished circumstances The article caught the attention of journalist Joshua Davis who decided to write a book about Juárez Correa and his students Davis was intrigued by the fact that Juárez Correa wasn’t using any special teaching methodology but encouraged his students to be curious and to think for themselves Zalla adapted Davis’s book into a screenplay; he had previously directed the film Padre Nuestro (also known as Sangre de Mi Sangre) He is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame In an effort to give us an idea of how popular Debrez is “The only three kids in the movie who knew Eugenio was going to be in the movie were those three [Jennifer Trejo And the reason was that we would get shut down The production would come to a grinding halt if even the background kids and their families knew; we would get mobbed.” We’re up on a rooftop changing from day to night we’d been in this location for three weeks the actors in the thing were coming back telling their parents “I was just Eugenio Derbez!” “No you weren’t.” But every day they say it And finally… So I go down and I follow It took me 3 minutes to walk that line of people…” He went on to tell us how the kids reacted to the news of their co-star “So we’re telling the three kids who got the part There’s one other thing you need to know.” And when we told Nico [Danilo Guardiola] and Paloma [Jennifer Trejo] I had held in reserve because she was younger and I needed to know if she could hold her own with these older kids The whole crew is there because we’re doing a camera test But there’s one other thing that you need to know whose Paloma is in this camera test and is like I want to tell her.” And she runs over and she goes And Mia goes “Eugenio Derbez.” “That’s Sergio!” “WOW!” Radical opened at #1 in theaters on October 19th in Mexico Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress FORT THOMAS – Daniel Zalla will wear judge's robes in Campbell County by the end of October. Gov. Matt Bevin appointed the Fort Thomas resident as a Campbell County Circuit Court Judge. Zalla will serve as Kentucky's vacant 17th Judicial Circuit, Division II judge seat. Zalla's term lasts until a new judge is elected in Kentucky's General Election Nov. 6, 2018. The seat has been vacant since Campbell County Circuit Court Judge Fred Stine retired Aug. 4. Zalla said it will take him a couple weeks to leave his private law practice.  The 69-year-old attorney served five months as a Kenton County Circuit Court judge from 2006-2007 as an appointee. Since 1974, Zalla has practiced law in the areas of contract, real estate, probate, personal injury, and family law. Zalla has handled estate transactions, negligence matters, and business litigation as well. The Salmon P. Chase College of Law graduate has four adult daughters. Zalla is also a graduate of the University of Kentucky and of Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills. "A judgeship is where you can bring all of your experiences from your law practice, from your life, from your family and then you apply all that along with your knowledge of the law," he said. For 43 years, Zalla has mentored children through the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cincinnati. "When I was a young attorney I was assigned to an eight-year-old African American living in poverty in Covington," he said. "And we still have a relationship of lunch and breakfast every couple of weeks." Zalla has also served on the Kentucky Bar Foundation board, the Carmel Manor Nursing Home board and the Chase College of Law Alumni Board. “I am truly honored and humbled to once again serve the Commonwealth in the capacity of circuit judge and intend to put forth my fullest measure of devotion to the job,” Zalla said. “I also thank Gov. Bevin for placing his confidence in me and promise to faithfully serve the citizens of Campbell County throughout the remainder of Judge Stine’s term.” Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the variations in electronic health record (EHR) activity among General and Specialty pediatricians by investigating the time spent and documentation length, normalized for workload. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of pediatric physicians using Epic EHR at a major Southeastern academic healthcare system. We collected user-level EHR activity data of 104 pediatric physicians over 91 days from April 1 to June 30, 2020. Results: Of the 104 pediatrics physicians, 56 (54%) were General pediatricians and 48 (46%) were Specialists pediatricians. General pediatricians spent an average of 17.6 min [interquartile range (IQR): 12.9–37] using the EHR per appointment, while Specialists spent 35.7 min (IQR: 28–48.4) per appointment. Significant negative associations were found between proficiency scores and the amount of time spent in the system for Generalists (p < 0.001). On the contrary, significant positive associations were found between proficiency scores and the amount of time spent in the system for Specialists (p < 0.01). Conclusions: We report an association between EHR proficiency and efficiency levels among pediatricians within the same healthcare system, receiving the same EHR training, and using the same EHR system. The profound differences in EHR activity suggest that higher priority should be given to redesigning EHR training methods to accommodate the learning needs of physicians.

Subjective findings report that there is a lack of pediatric-specific EHR functionality, which increases workload and reduces productivity and efficiency (15). Furthermore, no study, to our knowledge, thoroughly examined EHR use patterns among pediatric subspecialties (6) there is a need for a more objective investigation into how pediatricians use the EHR and the differences in use that may contribute to burnout The purpose of this study was to describe the wide variations in EHR use among pediatric physicians by examining the association of system proficiency with efficiency levels We conducted a cohort study of pediatric physicians using Epic EHR (Epic Systems® WI) at a major Southeastern academic healthcare system Using the web-based analytics dashboard of Epic we collected user-level data on how physicians use the EHR User-error data was not collected at the time of the study We assessed the time spent in Epic and documentation length during physician use of chart review We collected EHR user-level data of all academic pediatric physicians at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Medical Center over 91 days Institutional Review Board approval was obtained from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill prior to conducting the study We limited our analysis to the 104 physicians who practiced pediatric medicine within the system for at least 2 months during the 3-month study period Because our evaluation was focused on ambulatory practice we also excluded physicians with unique or highly specialized practices including dentists as well as physicians on the child abuse team The primary outcomes examined were average time in the EHR system per appointment and physician proficiency score The secondary outcomes were average time in completing specific tasks per appointment average time spent during clinic hours [7A-7P] vs and average total documentation length and progress notes length per appointment We collected two types of user-level data relating to the effort: EHR time measured in minutes and EHR documentation measured by characters EHR time contained five different variables: (1) average time in the system per appointment (2) average time in chart review per appointment (3) average time in in-basket per appointment (5) average time in the system between 7 p.m Time was measured as the time from when the provider logged in into the system and was actively using it Time measurements were stopped when there was a 5-s inactivity timeout or when the provider logged out of the system EHR documentation contained two different variables: (1) average documentation length per appointment (2) average progress notes length per appointment Each provider received a proficiency score at the end of each monthly report Proficiency scores are designed as composite scores from 0 to 10 aimed to measure the personalization and utilization level of the provider Epic has built-in tools that are intended to improve user efficiency are defined as how frequently the provider used the following efficiency tools: Chart search The following scaling system was used to calculate the monthly proficiency score for each participating physician: • points per provider preference list entry • 1.2 points per 10% of notes written using SmartTools • points for having a customized level of service speed buttons • points for having customized diagnosis speed buttons We calculated descriptive and summary statistics for the primary and secondary outcomes stratified by physician type (Generalist vs EHR use data were collected by the provider at the end of each month To standardize measures of EHR use over time and across physicians with different workloads we first summed each outcome over the 2- or 3- month observation period and then divided it by the total number of appointments of the physician during the observation period We computed descriptive statistics stratified by physician type (Generalist vs we further examined the differences between most efficient and least efficient EHR users High-performing users were the top 10% of physicians who spent the least amount of time in the EHR per appointment Low-performing users were the bottom 10% of physicians who spent the most amount of time in the EHR per appointment We computed Pearson's correlation coefficients to examine the strength of the linear association between physician proficiency score and time spent in the EHR All analyses were performed in SAS (Version 9.4 56 (54%) were Generalists and 48 (46%) were pediatric Specialists including 13 hematologists and oncologists (27.1%) General pediatricians spent an average of 17.6 min (IQR: 12.9–37) using the EHR per appointment, while Specialists spent 35.7 min (IQR: 28–48.4) per appointment (Table 1) Distribution of electronic health records activity adjusted per appointment for General and Specialty pediatricians between April 1 and June 30 Pediatricians spent the most amount of time in the EHR in Notes for both Generalists (Median: 6.7 min;

IQR: 0.1–2.8) Among both Generalists and Specialists, there were substantial variations in the amount of time spent in the EHR system and in EHR tasks completed, both overall and by appointment (Figure 1) the average amount of time spent in the system per appointment ranged from 2.4 to 141 min the average amount of time in the system per appointment ranged from 9.4 to 93 min Average amount of time spent in the electronic health record (EHR) system per appointment classified by time of day and type of activity among 56 General pediatricians and 48 Specialist pediatricians between April 1 and June 30 Among Generalists, the average amount of time spent using the EHR per appointment for the most efficient users was 9.1 min (range: 2.4–10.7) compared to 79.5 min (range: 49.2–141.3) for the least efficient users (Figure 2) the average amount of time spent using the EHR per appointment for the most efficient users was 15.3 min (range: 9.4–17.1) compared to 72.8 min (range: 62.6–93.7) for the least efficient users Distribution of time spent in the EHR system per appointment among the most and least efficient General and Specialist pediatricians The average EHR proficiency score for Generalists was 6.6 (IQR: 4.9–6.8) and for Specialists was 5.3 (IQR: 2.8–5.9) Wide variations in proficiency scores were found for both Generalists (1.7–8.9) and Specialists (0.9–7.9) Significant negative associations were found between proficiency scores and the amount of time spent in the system by Generalists (r = −0.43; p = 0.009). More proficient Generalists spent less time in the EHR (Table 2) a significant positive association was found between proficiency scores and the amount of time spent in the system by Specialists (r = 0.39; p = 0.007) Specialists with higher proficiency scores spent more time in the system A marginal positive association was found between proficiency scores and documentation length for Specialists (r = 0.26; p = 0.07) Pearson correlation of EHR proficiency score with time in system and documentation length for 56 General pediatricians and 48 Specialist pediatricians between April 1 and June 30 This study demonstrates that a wide gap in EHR usability exists between pediatricians within the same healthcare system We report substantial variations in EHR screen time and documentation length among pediatricians after adjusting to the workload We found that time spent and documentation length in progress notes were the highest contributors to the observed which can provide insights into the effect of suboptimal EHR use on physician burnout Improving EHR training has been associated with increased EHR efficiency levels and improved physician well-being (24, 25) While this study showed wide variations in EHR efficiency among pediatricians one way to bridge the disparities in EHR efficiency is to optimize the traditional EHR training courses that may lack efficacy due to the didactic structure and instructor-led design without being physician-centric are divided into four types of learners: visual The substantial differences in EHR documentation could be linked to best practices conveyed during training or through peer-to-peer assistance Stringent documentation policies may play a role in over-documentation of some physicians which warrants further investigation to determine if the short documentation of the most efficient EHR users is comparable in quality and meet policy requirements as the longer documentation of the least efficient users Although we adjusted our analysis by appointment, the type of appointment between new and current patients and the complexity of patients was not collected, which may contribute to the differences in EHR activity. We realize that, while there have been limitations reported to the use of some EHR logs, Epic conducted multiple improvements on their audit log data reporting; nevertheless, we could not validate the EHR usage data we obtained (26) proficiency scores were automatically computed by the EHR vendor and could not be further validated this study provides real-time information on the differences in EHR use among pediatrics physicians which may suggest tailoring EHR training techniques to improve physician use of the EHR and physician well-being The healthcare system switched all unnecessary in-person visits to virtual visits during March 2020 due to the pandemic and gradually resumed in-office visits shortly thereafter Our hypothesis was that any workflow changes will affect all providers equally although physicians were still required to do pre-visit planning and post-visit documentation one limitation of this study is that we did not account for the transformation to virtual visits and its effect on EHR use the integration of Keystroke Level Model (KLM) data can help validate EHR audit data as well as provide further insights into the estimated task execution time for providers which can then be compared against audit data to identify high-performing and low-performing users Poor EHR use is a major contributor to physician burnout among physicians when adjusted for workload These findings suggest that the current EHR training framework does not meet the different learning styles which means more thorough changes to current EHR training sessions are needed to improve the usability of EHRs and the well-being of physicians The datasets presented in this article are not readily available because data includes provider level data, including identifiable data, on EHR use.

"The cherished civil right of a fair election has been maintained in this primary election," Zalla wrote "The cornerstone of ballot integrity has not been compromised or eroded but was properly laid and remained secure through the primary election Asked for her reaction to the ruling and if she will appeal Neal told The Courier Journal she is not prepared to comment "until my attorney has reviewed the full report." Zalla's order went on to cite eight pages of testimony from an Aug 19 hearing in the case that he found "illuminating," which included short excerpts of Neal and petitioner witness Stephen Knipper saying they did not have evidence that the recount totals were incorrect or that county clerks had committed some type of fraud he is asked what statute required the yellow seals in question they're gonna have to stuff ballots in order to get the recounts to work," Southworth told the conference attendees (Neal) walks in the very first morning on recount day Southworth and Knipper have conducted a "Restore Election Integrity" tour across the state over the past year, which has been criticized for pushing baseless conspiracies about Kentucky's voting machines being hooked up to the internet and fraud causing the defeats of Trump in 2020 and former Gov Opinion:Gerth: 2020 Election deniers are spreading innuendo and misinformation in Kentucky Republican Secretary of State Michael Adams has criticized the recount petitions of Neal and five other GOP primary losers from the "liberty" wing of the party as "frivolous," saying they have been pushed by "conspiracy theorists" making unfounded allegations about election fraud — specifically referring to Southworth and Knipper Adams said Judge Zalla's order "confirmed the obvious: We run fair "These frivolous recount efforts continue to cost taxpayers disrupt the work of election officials and threaten our ability to prepare for the November election," Adams stated Adams also took a shot at Knipper by highlighting his testimony, cited in Zalla's order, that Knipper had no evidence of fraud or that the recount was inaccurate, tweeting: "Here’s what these people say when they’re under oath instead of on YouTube." As for Southworth's suggestion at the Lindell conference that someone "stuffed" ballots into the machines, Adams tweeted Tuesday that it is "a new level of low" for a sitting state senator to accuse county clerks of felony election fraud Five of the six recount petitions have been dismissed in circuit courts though the petitions of primary losers Gerardo Serrano and Bridgette Ehly are before the Court of Appeals 'Put an end to this madness':Kentucky elections board certifies winners in recount races Ehly — who lost her state House primary in a blowout and had her petition dismissed without a recount — has said the petitions are a method to "check the tech" and "look under the hood" of voting machines to verify they are accurate She and other recount petitioners have also forcefully criticized Adams for calling their efforts frivolous with the Boone County Republican Party also censuring Adams for his criticism One recount petition is still pending in LaRue Circuit Court where GOP primary candidate Courtney Gilbert — who lost her race by 36 percentage points and more than 2,000 votes — posted a $15,516 bond Friday to initiate the recount Responding to a tweet by Adams celebrating Zalla's ruling Ehly wrote that the "McConnell Crime Family sticks together" — an apparent reference to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell we will restore election integrity!" Ehly wrote on Facebook "Let’s hear your voices social media 'Liberty' influencers!" Adams and the State Board of Elections indicated two weeks ago they were moving forward with a finalized general election ballot featuring the six winners in the GOP primaries where there was a recount petition despite several of the cases still being pending "We've had enough harm to our taxpayers and to our democracy by these folks," Adams said before the vote to certify the general election ballot "It's time to put an end to this madness and certify these people and let them get on with their fall campaigns."

thrown out after it was found a juror had been previously convicted of a felony Hubers' defense team requested Zalla declare a mistrial Her defense argued she shot in self-defense. The jury took five hours to convict Hubers on a murder charge after a two-week trial Prosecutors say Hubers killed Poston because he was leaving her Hubers took the stand and claimed Poston pressured her to perform sex acts and was abusive She said her inability to orgasm with Poston was a sticking point in the relationship Prosecutors went through lengthy sets of text messages between Hubers and Poston and their friends to show he was not abusive Defense attorney David Eldridge asked Zalla to consider Hubers being a low risk to commit more crimes once paroled Eldridge asked for a minimum sentence of 20 years He did not mention abuse as a reason for a minimum sentence.  Hubers took responsibility by calling 911 and talking to police He described his client's police interrogation as the ramblings of a mentally ill young girl.  "She told them (police) what she did much to her detriment," Eldridge said He said Hubers is a good candidate for successful treatment for her borderline personality disorder

told friends and family that Poston’s sister faked tears on the witness stand Hubers had a name for Poston’s sister too she has told friends “Teddy bear girl doesn’t sound remorseful to me,” Snodgrass
