Conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner has placed text and curves upon walls and floors in his exhibition Gyroscopically Speaking, showing now at the Marian Goodman Gallery. The gyroscope as an object is problematic and unpresentable as a whole; one thing while it is still, a fascinating phenomenon of physics once spinning. Filling the North and South Galleries and the North Gallery Viewing Room, Weiner explores relationships between language and materials, humans and objects; the artist questions simultaneous realities of society and economics, forcing the viewer to engage an entirely new mentality.

Le Sable Fin Le Sable Gros Le Sable Chaud Brought to Rest at the Same Time & The Same Point & Left to Disperse After Time (2008)
The North Gallery holds five works displayed on the specially constructed curving wall. Weiner’s text-based work plays on the ambiguity of language, open to translation and personal associations or connotations. The volume-less works lend themselves to a dynamic context, easily installable anywhere.

Impacted to the Point of Fusing Sand into Glass, (2010)
Sprawling the floor of the South Gallery, Impacted to the Point of Fusing Sand into Glass uses vivid imagery and metaphor, perhaps pointing to the harsh processes by which individuals are forced into one transparent, empty mass.

The drawings of the North Gallery Viewing Room incorporate more images than many of the artist’s larger works. While still making use of text, the smaller works draw attention to their various shapes and forms, as well as their combined impact as a whole. The viewing room also holds a cartoon DVD, similarly titled Gyroscopically Speaking.

Nurses Leverage Celio Redfly and Homecare Homebase Software.
Health & Beauty Close-Up October 20, 2009 For Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey (VNACJ), mobility is everything, the group reported.
To effectively provide and document the best in-home care and rehabilitation for newly discharged hospital and in-home patients, the group said that it need mobile technology that complies with federal regulations and allows them to effectively document and track patient information. htctouchpronow.net htc touch pro
They found a solution in Celio Corp’s Redfly Mobile Companion and Homecare Homebase Software, the group said.
“Homecare Homebase software provides excellent documentation capability and immediate online access to patient records and service information,” said John Albright, Director of IT for the VNACJ. “For many of our nurses, the Redfly offers the flexibility of using a larger screen and keyboard to input and review information or images. The additional benefit to the solution is that it gives our field staff a laptop experience in a more cost-efficient, travel-friendly and light-weight manner, without the costs or risks normally associated with laptops.” The Redfly is a mobile companion device with a large screen and full keyboard that enables VNACJ’s clinical field staff to use Homecare Homebase’s PointCare application on their company-issued HTC Touch Pro PDAs. Since the Redfly has no hard drive, the patient data stays entirely secure on an encrypted database on the nurse’s handheld device–an especially critical issue for the healthcare industry, which continues to drive procedures that ensure HIPAA compliance. site htc touch pro
The VNACJ said that it recently deployed more than 200 Redflys to its field clinicians, and has plans for a complete rollout of 300-400 units by the end of the year.
“Visiting Nurse of Central Jersey shows how a company can use Redfly and combine it with a fully integrated software solution like Homecare Homebase to save money and improve efficiency and patient care,” said Kirt Bailey, president and CEO of Celio Corp. “The Redfly is ideal for any company with a mobile work force that is looking to leverage their investment in smartphones and handheld software applications.” ((Comments on this story may be sent to health@closeupmedia.com))
