Several huge things have happened in the last 2 week in respect to science. Cosmos, the re-imagining of Carl Sagan's science vehicle to jumpstart the public's imagination debuted; gravity radiation (often called gravity waves) has been detected with a 5-sigma threshold from the Big Bang, which, if true, empirically extends our understanding of creation from one second to one billion-billion-billion-millionth of a second after the Big Bang; and, finally, not to mention rather depressingly, Mike Adams the Health Douche issued a public call to the host of Cosmos, Neil deGrasse Tyson to admit that mercury in vaccines is poisoning the population.
One of the above three things made me laugh: can you guess which? I implore you to read Mike Adams full screed on the mercury in vaccines that is making the population cognitively deficient, even though there is no mercury in vaccines, and keep a straight face. Seriously, I'll wait here—and this post will make more sense if you've read it.

From the San Antonio Express-News:
Even if you weren't one of the 105,000 or so George Strait fans packed into the AT&T Stadium in Arlington in June for the final stop of the "Cowboy Rides Away" tour, you can still grab a souvenir of that landmark concert.
On Sept. 16, Strait will release a 20-track live album, "The Cowboy Rides Away: Live from AT&T Stadium," featuring almost a dozen of the country stars who joined him onstage that day.
For those of you not keeping track, that's barely more than three months after the actual concert. That's probably the fastest turnaround on a live album that I've ever seen, and definitely the fastest for a live George Strait collection; For The Last Time: Live from the Astrodome came out a little more than a year after the actual concert, and Live At Texas Stadium (from the show with Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett on Memorial Day weekend in 2004) came out almost three years after that show.
Not that I think that's a bad thing, mind you. I remember not long after the Texas Stadium show hearing rumors that a live recording of that show was going to be made available at some point and waiting with bated breath. Got an email in June '06 about it, but it was a false alarm; it finally hit the stores the first week of April 2007. As far as this recording goes, it looks pretty cool. I am not sure about some of the guests, but I bet it'll still be more than worth the money. It'd take a LOT to sour me on anything with George.
(I do still long for the video to be released from the 1999 tour that CMT aired as An Evening with George Strait. Of all the Strait tours I saw, I think that one was probably my favorite between getting to see the Dixie Chicks and Asleep at the Wheel with their then-new fiddler Jason Roberts. And George's SET LIST. "There Stands the Glass," "Cherokee Maiden," and "Linda On My Mind," along with all the great Strait originals up to that point….)

Worship Week – WOW!
Worship Week – WOW!
Theresa Bates of Adonai Dance Ministries and Aline and Howie of Mishkanim.com joined us, The Peregrinnatti, for a week of swimming in the River of YHVH with Y'Shua. What a delightful time we had with our Bridegroom! The first few days we engaged in warfare worship and dancing, but by 3rd night the brass ceiling was broken and the windows of heaven poured their bounty out on us. We experienced His presence through the spoken word, songs, hymns and spiritual songs, prayers and requests and answers from The Throne. He truly did send us help from the sanctuary! Isaiah 61:3 "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of YHVH, that He might be glorified."
A Few of the Many Memorable Moments:
Always with a smile and a hug, she had spent the better part of the evening dancing with flags. But at the end of the evening, like the rest of us in the room, she grew quiet, overcome by the weightiness of the Ruach's presence. Bowed down in the front corner of the sanctuary she suddenly began to sing. I recognized the tune as Amazing Grace even though I could only understand an occasional word, but it was the passion with which she sang that sp mesmerized me. She and Y'Shua were having a private moment that I was privileged and yes, almost embarrassed to share in its intimacy. At the end of her song she wept, overcome by the majesty and tenderness of her Savior's presence. She is Rachel and she has Down's Syndrome, but that mattered not to her Beloved.
He had had a stroke and then the seizures began. He didn't feel like he had anything to contribute, nothing made sense anymore, he couldn't connect things, his brain no longer worked as it once had. "I'm just a shell of a man," he said. And then one morning during worship the Ruach took this broken vessel and poured through him with words that witnessed to us the incredible love and wisdom and direction that only the Ruach can give. We watched him change from disconnectedness to engagement as the Ruach continued to use him as a mouthpiece for our Savior's words to us throughout the week. And then the night Theresa taught a flags class he got up and waved the flags in worship that was heartfelt and connected. His face was radiating joy! This was a recurring theme of the worship week and the week that followed; increasing levels of joy!
Theresa and I prayed for the dance team at their request. "We are heavily burdened," they said. "Please pray for us, we have been under so much attack and grief and difficulty." As we began to pray our good and gracious heavenly Father released words of healing and authority and affirmation to each individual. I gave a word to one young man from Job 1:8, and immediately upon the release of the word I said to him, do not say that if I only knew what you had done, the life you had lived I would never say that you are "a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil." He stared at me with incredulity and then began to laugh in surprise as the reality of YHVH became indisputable for him.
It was amazing to be partakers of so much transformation. The week began with a heaviness of heart and soul, but as we pressed in the heaviness and mourning turned to dancing and joy. Erev Shabbat's Selah Service was unlike any Selah Service we have participated in so far, (even though we have had some awesome Selah Services!) Near the end of the service "Waves of Glory", a flagging ministry, were undulating a large billow during the song Pure Bride by Leeland. By the unction of the Ruach people from the congregation began running under the arched billow turning it into a Hoopa. Soon everyone (minus three) were joining hands and crossing under the billows turned Hoopa, over and over again they crossed under the Hoopa. We just couldn't get enough; we wanted the night to last forever. What a glorious touch the Father gave us that evening of Himself!
It wasn't over when "Standing in the Light" worship week concluded on the 23rd. We stayed for an extra week and the joy just continued to grow. We danced and flagged and taught classes on dancing and flagging and weapons of our warfare and musical frequencies and we told stories and more stories. We ministered with harp and story for the local soup kitchen on the 25th and what a joy that was. Check out the article written about that occasion here: http://www.lakecityjournal.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=9527&SectionID=13&SubSectionID=73&S=1
Nothing was planned for the evening of December 28, but the Kol HaMashiach congregation wanted an Erev Shabbat service like the one we had had the previous week. "We'll start at 5:30 like before, welcoming the Shabbat, then a pot blessing dinner with worship after the meal." They wanted this – so we eagerly agreed. How can I describe to you the incredible beauty and loveliness of that evening?! Everyone was eager, expectant, joyful and excited to be a part of whatever the Ruach was planning for them. What had been started the previous week was still with us and it was growing, no one could stop it and everyone was affected by it – the Spirit of YHVH was among us and we were being changed! Oh my!! Could it be more wonderful… and then one by one and then by two's and then the entire congregation began to engage the Ruach with songs and psalms and spiritual songs, words, praise in dance and flags, prayers, scripture; it was beautiful and inspiring and life-changing. Worshippers came forward and shared their talent and one talent became two and five talents became ten and no one buried their talents that night. We laughed and cried, we lifted our hands and bowed our heads, and we worshipped the King of Kings with adoration and in wonderment. Who wanted it to end? We all lingered and lingered still longer.
We have made new life-long friends of the heart; and it is with joy in our hearts that we take our leave of Lake City, Florida for we have seen the hand of YHVH move in the midst of His people and we are once again awed by His goodness on behalf of His children!
To YHVH be the glory; great things He has done!

029: Your Most Important Asset
There is no greater asset than relationships.
There is no greater capital than your social capital.
Isaac Newton famously once said, "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants."
Another one of my favorite quotes is by Zig Ziglar: "You can have everything in life you want, if you just help other people get what they want."
In order to maintain healthy relationships you must make a list of the most important people in your life, connect with them, and always look for ways to contribute to their lives.
We can all be selfish at times but it is important to recognize that and get back to serving others. The greatest way I have found to reduce stress, anxiety, and frustration when things just don't seem to be going well in my life is to lose myself in service to others.

Summa - the feeling is hard to describe. We were at the shops today and my DH was looking for a t shirt to buy. I am normally pretty good and have patience but today I was very restless. My lower back was sore and I was a little grumpy. I just wanted to go home as I have no energy! When we were driving home my DH said you do look a little pasty. Thanks Hun!! Enjoy your last week off! I have another four weeks off! The joys of being a teacher.
Danni - my boobs were sore in the same area as yours and I am not complaining of the size! As I have small boobs!!
Does anyone know of cheap online or maternity shops? My waistline is changing already and my jeans don't feel as comfortable. I read that everything is stretching so there is more room for my uterus to grow so the waistline may get bigger early on. I have no hips so I just poke out!
Jeanswest now sell maternity jeans for $65 which I thought was a pretty good price. If the heart beat scan goes well I may invest in some pants. Maternity clothes are so expensive!

I can't believe you're changing shape already! This is devastating me as I am getting married 10 April and I have very little room to move size wise in my wedding dress in the ribs/bust region! DP says I shouldn't get big till later but from what you say!......?
Anyone heard what breast feeding is like if you have implants? I have them... given the glands are on top of the implants I don't anticipate any problems.

Hey Dani, Im not here officially yet but thought Id be a sticky beak....but just needed to reply to you....I was 10wks preg with DD when I got married (yes it was planned). I am only 5ft so very short and my boobs went from a b cup to a d cup in the 10 wks....I had a strapless dress and I was so upset on the day as my boobs were spilling out of it.......Most people didnt notice and my DH loved it but I was extremely upset. As far as the rest of the dress my waist had started thickening but not to any noticable degree so I was still able to fit into my size 10 dress but I did have a dress that tied up in the back so although it was incredabliy thight I was able to loosen it a bit after the photo's....
Ohhh the other good news is I had 'bad' MS for two weeks.....from week 9-11....right over my wedding and honeymoon....DH Im sure enjoyed me leaving the reception and going to the toilet to vomit about 20 times!!!! I started feeling 'hungover' with MS about the 7wk mark....and one morning at the start of my 13wk I woke up and felt normal again...
I probally couldnt hide my preg by the time I was 14weeks...but as I said I was a shorty and there was no where else for bubs to hide but to pop out!
Pippi, pumpkin patch online sometimes has maternity clothes on sale...I got the best pair of cargo pants from there last time and lived in them (I actually wore holes in them I wore them so much). Other than that Big W and Target usually have an OK range but nothing dressy. Not sure about online but ebay has a pretty big selection.....
Well Im going to go back to staring at my hpt for now...hope to see you here in a week!

I got married when I was 20 weeks pregnant. Had been engaged for years and never thought it was important for us to be married before we had a child but then OMG IVF worked and all of a sudden it became important I didn't think I was showing much but when I see the photos it was pretty obvious! Though my dress was fitted at the top and then it flowed so I didn't need any alterations, it just would have been much looser if there was no bubba on board.
Can you have a dressmaker lined up just in case you need to change something but I wouldn't worry until you start to see how your body does change.
My sister, at 20 weeks, was hardly showing even though she's quite slim so we're all very different.
03-01-2011 16:35 #28
Danni -how tight is your dress? It is highly likely that your waistline will change a little! It may not be much but wedding dresses are generally fitted. Don't panic too much. Maybe take to an alterations person who maybe able to alter it at the last minute? Just eat extremely healthy over the next four months and hopefully you won't get chocolate cravings!!
Jacklicky - congrats on positive HPT. We look forward to having you here in a weeks time!! And thanks for the clothes advice. I don't mind wearing tight tops but I want to be comfortable wearing pants.

So glad I won't have to worry about pants. I should be able to get away with dresses throughout. It's about 30degrees all year round up here so I'm always just in maxi dresses with heaps of tummy room.
Dunno what I'm gonna do about work clothes, maybe some larger tops and then those belly bands under skirts. I'll worry about it later

Australia's High Court ruled unanimously Thursday that modifying Sony PlayStation consoles so that they can play cheaper overseas versions of the company's games does not violate Australian copyright laws.I am sure the ruling will be such a hard blow to Sony and other game manufacturers. They will probably need to consider keeping uniform game prices around the globe. Eventually, they will have to change the way they do business; such as letting monthly subscribers play online unlimitedly, instead of selling games outright which will get cloned later.
The decision ends a four-year legal battle between entertainment and electronics giant Sony Corp. and Sydney-based business owner Eddy Stevens, who supplied and installed "mod chips" in PlayStation devices.
The High Court ruled that while making a pirated copy of a game is illegal, playing a game using a mod chip is not. According to Justice Ronald Sackville, in order to be a "technological protection measure" a device must prevent the disks from being copied, not simply prevent copied disks from playing.

Friends With Benefits – More Pain Than Pleasure?
01 June 2011
"A guy would never say no to that!" said a friend when I asked him what he would do if a female friend were to proposition him with a "friends with benefits" (FWB) relationship. "All to gain and nothing to lose!" he added.
Most men would think that having a purely sexual relationship with a female friend without the trappings of commitment is a dream come true. But have you heard about the nightmares, though? If you haven't, it's only because your friends aren't telling you. Here's what you need to know.
Things Can Get Confusing
"So, what are we?" The dreaded question every commitment-phobic guy hates to hear. If you think you don't face this problem if you're in an FWB relationship, you're misinformed.
According to friends (male and female) who have had special "buddies", the issue is more often than not inevitable. It'll either manifest itself in your head, or be brought up by either party at some point in the relationship, a few of them say. And it can get mentally draining.
Similarly, in a US study, more than half of the respondents involved in FWB relationships indicated they were consistently asking themselves what kind of a relationship they were in, such as how to make sense of it, should it be labelled and maintained, and how they felt about it. Yet, 84 per cent of them did not initiate any discussion because they felt awkward talking about it, or feared losing a friend should the other want to end the relationship. Consequently, this often led to confusion, jealousy and even depression.
You Can End Up Too Attached
Like normal relationships, FWB relationships aren't free from emotional fallouts and turmoil either. However, the same US study reports that only 10 per cent of such relationships evolve into romantic ones, and more than half had developed feelings for their partners at some point in the relationship.
And just so you know, it's not only the women who become too attached. A significant number of men, too, inevitably fall for their "buddies". A friend of mine was even willing to forsake his primary relationship so that he could pursue his "buddy", who wasn't interested in taking it further. Ultimately, when one party demands more commitment but the other doesn't, things turn sour and your benefits get cancelled.
Guys Still End Up Footing The Bills
It's typically acceptable to go Dutch, or take turns to pick up dinner tabs when you're normal friends, but the moment you're in an FWB relationship, financial expectations change.
I knew a guy who questioned why he always had to pay for all the meals and hotel room, and even send his "buddy" home when she earned a higher salary. A female friend once told me: "The guy should pay, of course! If my FWB ever suggested splitting the hotel bill, or sharing the cost of condoms, I'd probably die laughing!"
The truth is, although it's termed "friendship with benefits", when it comes to picking up tabs and footing the bills, women still subscribe to traditional gender roles because it's to their benefit.
You Could Be Sleeping With A Psycho
A US study found that depressed single women were more likely to have more casual sex than happier singles. Depressed women were likely seeking out sexual intimacy more often, to help themselves feel more secure, says Sabura Allen, PhD, a clinical psychologist. So, if your FWB is such a character, trying to dump her may be the catalyst for suicidal, deviant or criminal behaviour.
Have you watched Fatal Attraction? You think you're able to differentiate between the broken goods and the great ones, but it really isn't as easy as it sounds, and a slight judgement error may just land you in treacherous waters.
You Risk Getting STDs
This is a no-brainer, really. After all, what goes around, comes around – especially sexually-transmitted diseases. "People assume that because this person is their friend, they can trust that he or she will not have any disease and, therefore, may not feel as compelled to practice safe sex," says Justin Lehmiller, a US-based psychologist. What's more, "friends with benefits" are 44 per cent more likely to be non-monogamous than people who first have sex as committed partners, he adds. So, you're exposing yourself to
bodily fluids from an exponential number of people! To quote from the movie Forrest Gump: "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Powerfull Humility
Freshly baked I opened the 18th Annual Global CEO Survey by PwC for 2015 and was greatly surprised and cheered. Something has really turned upside down in the leadership world. In the final statement titled "The CEO agenda. What's needed to compete in today's economy?" I found the following piece that I hope will be recognized by all leaders and will frame a new leadership culture:
"Above all though, perhaps the quality CEOs most need to master is humility. By being humble while leading, a CEO will be able to listen and learn from the team they have built around them; they'll be able to take maximum advantage of the diversity they are cultivating and they'll be receptive to the insights they gain from new collaborations. Most important, this humility will give CEOs the confidence to pass on what they have learnt to the next generation."
The Harvard Business Review May 2014 also noted humility as one of the most effective leadership qualities. In a survey of more than 1500 workers from different countries it found that humility is one of four critical leadership factors for creating an environment where employees feel included. In such environments employees reported being more innovative, suggesting new product ideas and ways of doing work better.
Jim Collins, in 2001 in "From Good to Great", was the first to bring Humility as a powerful leadership quality to high-level discussions and articles. Collins defined the leader with capability to move a company from good to great as a 'Level 5 leader', that is "an executive in whom genuine personal humility blends with intense professional will". Collins does not negate leadership ego, but reveals limitations of it if companies want to attain long lasting growth: "the great irony is that personal ambition that often drives people to become a Level 4 leader stands at odds with the humility required to rise to Level 5."
Jim Collins in HBR article "Level 5 Leadership: The Triumph of Humility and Fierce Resolve" elegantly lists the behaviours of the leader embodying qualities of Humility and Will.
Personal Humility
- Demonstrates a compelling modesty, shunning public adulation; never boastful.
- Acts with quiet, calm determination; relies principally on inspired standards, not inspiring charisma, to motivate.
- Channels ambition into the company, not the self; sets up successors for even more greatness in the next generation.
- Looks in the mirror, not out the window, to apportion responsibility for poor results, never blaming other people, external factors, or bad luck.
Professional Will
- Creates superb results, a clear catalyst in the transition from good to great.
- Demonstrates an unwavering resolve to do whatever must be done to produce the best long-term results, no matter how difficult.
- Sets the standard of building an enduring great company; will settle for nothing less.
- Looks out the window, not in the mirror, to apportion credit for the success of the company—to other people, external factors, and good luck.
The Paradox of "humble leadership"
Looking at the term "humble leadership" can create a sense of confusion. When we hear the term "leader," we tend to imagine a strong, confident, problem solver, expert, charismatic personality, taking responsibility for his or her followers "someone who goes in and carries out all the injured soldiers from a battlefield." Whilst when we hear the term "humility" this brings an opposite picture of a person that acts from the backstage, that lets others go first, questions and asks for support. The Forbes article: "The Paradox Of Humility In American Business And Society" describes the combination of humility and leadership as a paradox of contradictory qualities and hence provides a balancing solution: "How to share your best with the world while sublimating your ego to advance the organization? Can you both stand out and sit back?"
The best leaders prove that you can, and it's a lesson that business students and other leaders should learn if they hope to achieve success. Management expert, Ken Blanchard says: "People with humility do not think less of themselves; they just think about themselves less."
Important in terms of leadership development is the direct connection between personal qualities, personal action logic and business results. Often during negotiation workshops I face discussions where participating leaders separate ethical from business KPIs, arguing that fierce competition and business environment requires adequate response, therefore humility can be cultivated in private life, but there is no space for it in business world. The PwC CEO report, mirroring that most actual business trends and challenges, places humility as a power capacity to deal with them. Humility is more than a personal state or mood it represents the social and emotional intelligence of the leader and the ability to think and act in the sustainable way and with a long lasting perspective.
Is it possible to learn humility?
Is it possible to learn humility? Jim Collins says Yes and No: "There are two categories of people: those who don't have the Level 5 seed within them and those who do." Amara co-founder Professor Bill Torbert developed a framework for personal leadership development, named the Global Leadership Profile (GLP) that defined stages of different action logics, representing successive leadership maturity stages. Torbert has conducted global research over the past 40 years which involved tens of thousands adults and discovered, that leaders at later developmental (maturity) stages have a more positive effect on people and the ecology within organizations. Such leaders are less egocentric and egoistic, they are more modest and work for benefit of others, develop engaging working environments and support individual growth, when implementing changes they promote systemic, sustainable and inclusive solutions. You may find out more in HBR article "Seven Transformations of Leadership".
At the heart of our work in Amara we recognize that our actions and visions are part of the emerging movement – the grand shift in the leadership world. At Amara we aim to develop capacities and qualities of mature leadership such as, agility and flexibility of thinking, ability to involve multiple perspectives, action Inquiry, systemic thinking, ability to communicate and collaborate, courageousness and the ability to transform conflict into opportunity. We are certain that such capacities will help leaders to prepare for the emerging reality where markets, technologies and legislative environment is rapidly and radically reshaping, where unrevealed growth opportunities lie within a hidden abyss, where individuals feel more free to decide and to choose for themselves, were employees want to be treated with dignity and enjoy more meaningful work. More about our upcoming workshop.
And finally…
I am quite small – 1 meter 58 centimeters, thus I was always at the tail of the row. When I entered a world of big men, big politics and big money my smallness and shyness turned to be the power. People gave me trust in advance that was a lot. I was called to mediate conflicts, as no one was aggressive with me. People wanted to support me and they leaned toward me and the biggest win was that they listened, they listened carefully with attention and here magic happened – they started to hear their inner voice, the words of their own wisdom. This moved them to think and to respect themselves and to go beyond fear, beyond ignorance, beyond conformity, beyond attitudes and beyond themselves.
Humility loves quiet. Shhhh…..

The cover of Sunder's book.
The Fur Trade Era On The Upper Missouri
Cannonball River Part Of History, A Review
By Dakota Wind
Cannonball, ND – The first edition of John Sunder's "The Fur Trade Era On The Upper Missouri, 1840-1865" was published in 1965 by the University of Oklahoma Press. The book focuses on the closing days of the American Fur Company on the Northern Great Plains which effectively concluded with the punitive campaigns of generals Sibley and Sully.
The fur trade has an interesting history in North America. The French and English hooked native peoples with trade goods such as mirrors, knives, kettles, beads, and guns. American Indian tribes even made war on one another for a hundred years in the Great Lakes region until the beaver was effectively hunted out at the turn of 1700. Then the fur trade turned west.
Sunder takes readers to the last of the trading posts on the Upper Missouri, from Fort Berthold where the Arikara, Hidatsa, and Mandan became utterly dependent on the US military for aid in their struggle for survival against the elements and the hostilities of their traditional enemies, the Teton Lakota, to Fort Union Trading Post.
Sunder's narrative is a carefully constructed study of the last trading posts. That is to say, that this book is dry in its detail, but everything within is genuinely valued and included for its contribution to the development of the American West. This includes mentions of rivers and streams on the Upper Missouri River that have been exploited for their material value, rivers and streams that were inter-tribal conflict sites, and river and streams that have served as important points of interest for river traffic.
Here's a short excerpt from Sunder's The Fur Trade Era On The Upper Missouri, 1840-1865 which happens to pertain to the Cannonball River, a western tributary of the Missouri River, and of some interest to the energy industry.
After brief stops at Forts Buford and Union, the St. Ange reached the mouth of the Poplar River. Since the mid-July channel of the Missouri was too low to allow Captain La Barge to go up-river beyond that point, he unloaded freight destined for the Blackfoot country, then swung the steamer around and rode the current downriver to St. Louis, carrying a large cargo of robes and furs and new Indian-country curiosities: spherical stones from Cannonball River and a caged wild songbird resembling an Old World finch. Father De Smet, who disembarked at Fort Union, accompanied Alexander Culbertson and thirty Indians in a small wagon and cart train overland from Yellowstone to Fort Laramie to attend a scheduled September meeting between St. Louis Indian Superintendent Mitchell and the northern Plains tribes.
These spherical stones, concretions, from the 60-million-year-old Cannonball Formation – unique to North Dakota – continue to be a part of North Dakota's identity and geologic history, so much that a lovely collection of the stones are prominently featured at the new east entrance of the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum. The stones were collected from Harmon Lake recreation area. There's precious few stones remaining at the Cannonball River.
Sunder's book is available at the NorthDakota Heritage Center & State Museum's gift shop. The book is not listed for purchase on the website, but it's on the floor. Get your copy today!

New Software Helps Doctors See Kids' Pain Levels/
By Pat Anson, Editor
Accurately assessing pain levels in a patient is difficult because pain is so subjective. No one really knows how much pain a patient is in – except the patient.
It gets even harder when the patient is a young child who can't verbally express their feelings the same way an adult can. For decades doctors have relied on low-tech diagnostic tools like the Wong Baker Pain Scale – a series of sad and smiling faces the child chooses from to help the doctor understand how much pain they are in.
Thankfully, that era may be coming to an end with the development of a high-tech approach at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.
Researchers there have demonstrated the validity of new software that measures pediatric pain by recognizing facial patterns in each patient. Their study is published online in the journal Pediatrics.
"The current methods by which we analyze pain in kids are suboptimal," said senior author Jeannie Huang, MD, a professor in the UC San Diego School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics and a gastroenterologist at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego.
"In this study, we developed and tested a new instrument, which allowed us to automatically assess pain in children in a clinical setting. We believe this technology, which enables continuous pain monitoring, can lead to better and more timely pain management."
The researchers used the software to analyze pain-related facial expressions from video taken of 50 youths, ages five to 18 years old, who had laparoscopic appendectomies.
Researchers filmed the patients during three different post-surgery visits: within 24 hours of their appendectomy; one calendar day after the first visit and at a follow-up visit two to four weeks after surgery. Facial video recordings and self-reported pain ratings by each patient, along with pain ratings by parents and nurses were collected.
"The software demonstrated good-to-excellent accuracy in assessing pain conditions," said Huang. "Overall, this technology performed equivalent to parents and better than nurses. It also showed strong correlations with patient self-reported pain ratings."
Huang says the software also did not demonstrate bias in pain assessment by ethnicity, race, gender, or age – an important consideration given how subjective current pain scales can be.
Because the software operates in real-time, doctors can be alerted to pain when it occurs instead of during scheduled assessments. The technology could also advocate for children when their parents are not around to notify medical staff about their child's pain level.
Huang said the software needs further study with more children and other types of pain in a clinical setting.
"It still needs to be determined whether such a tool can be easily integrated into clinical workflow and thus add benefit to current clinical pain assessment methods and ultimately treatment paradigms," she said.
Huang says controlling pain is important, not only for the child's comfort, but also for their recovery since studies have shown that under-treatment of pain is associated with poor surgical outcomes.

Giving this Black Friday
My Twitter timeline sounded like one long anti Black Friday diatribe today. I would certainly never think of venturing out on Black Friday to an actual store to find the angry mobs. The best deals can almost all be found online anyway.
If the sheer consumerism of it has still got you down, though, an antidote is to use this day to contribute to a charity. I've written before about GiveWell, a site that analyzes charities for how much actual good they do with each dollar you contribute. At the time, its top choice was Against Malaria Foundation, but even GiveWell noted at the time that eventually AMF would run into diminishing returns.
That time has come, at least according to GiveWell. Its new top-ranked charity is the one that was in second place behind AMF before: GiveDirectly. From GiveWell's review:
GiveDirectly (www.givedirectly.org) transfers cash to households in the developing world via the M-PESA mobile phone-based payment service. It targets extremely low-income households and aims to deliver at least 90 cents directly to recipients for every $1.00 in total expenses. (More)
GiveDirectly is a recommended organization because of:
- Its focus on cash transfers: delivering 90% of all expenses directly to extremely low-income people in the developing world. We feel that this intervention faces an unusually low burden of proof, though donors' intuitive reactions to it may vary widely. The evidence that such transfers increase short-term consumption, especially of food, is very strong, and there is more limited evidence that such transfers may be invested at very high rates of return (e.g. ~20% annually). (More)
- Its documented success, to date, in reaching its 90% target, and what we perceive as a strong (and evolving) process for ensuring that cash is well-targeted and efficiently delivered. (More)
- Its strong transparency and commitment to self-evaluation. Among other things, GiveDirectly has two high-quality studies of its impact ongoing, and has taken the unusual step of making the details of these studies public before data is collected. (More)
- Room for more funding - we believe that GiveDirectly can use substantial additional funding productively, both for its core work of delivering cash and for investigative work on refining its (new and unusual) approach. (More)
What's interesting about GiveDirectly is that it marks a shift in thinking around charitable contributions. Many Americans are conditioned to distrust direct cash transfers, having long been told that doling out cash to the homeless on the streets is tantamount to handing over a bottle of booze or a drug-filled syringe.
The latest research on direct cash transfers, however, is promising. The shift from health interventions to direct cash transfers reminds me of the difference between active and passive investment management. Health interventions would seem to require more overhead whereas cash transfers should, in theory, be lighter weight to administrate.
But more than that, the shift away from a paternalistic model of giving feels like a form of giving predicated on faith in those less fortunate. Rather than prescribe how the recipient receive your contribution, let them choose how best to spend the donation.
Not all are believers, though, so two forms of cash transfer exist: conditional cash transfers (CCTs) and unconditional ones (UCTs).
But it highlights the virtues of no-strings grants (UCTs). They work when lack of money is the main problem. The people who do best are those with the least to start with (in Uganda, that especially means poor women). In such conditions, the schemes provide better returns than job-training programmes that mainstream aid agencies favour. Remarkably, they even do better than secondary education, which pushes up wages in poor countries by 10-15% for each extra year of schooling. This may be because recipients know what they need better than donors do—a core advantage of no-strings schemes. They also outscore conditional transfers, because some families eligible for these fail to meet the conditions through no fault of their own (if they live too far from a school, for instance).
Does this mean that governments are wasting time and money by monitoring and enforcing conditions, when handing over cash would be just as good? Not so fast. Perhaps because cash is all-important to unconditional schemes, they tend to be more generous and expensive than CCTs. The grants of the Kenyan programmes, for example, are the equivalent of two years' local income. In contrast, the stipend of the world's biggest conditional scheme, Brazil's Bolsa Família, is worth 3% of average Brazilian incomes. For $1,000, therefore, you could help one poor Kenyan a lot, or three poor Brazilians a bit—even though Brazil is a far more expensive country. Which is better? The answer depends more on the recipients than on the programmes: whom do you want to help and what problems do they face?
Moreover, CCTs can focus on something which UCTs leave to chance: helping the next generation. Healthier, better educated children earn more throughout their lifetimes, so the requirement to attend school or clinics should cut future poverty. UCTs aim to reduce poverty now. So conditional and unconditional schemes are not always comparable. That said, a lot of effort has gone into making comparisons, and the results are now emerging. CCTs have their drawbacks but—at least where governments are concerned, and if you take a broad definition of poverty reduction to include health and education—they usually do a better job.
If you're not sold on cash transfers, GiveWell's other top-rated charity is of the more familiar health intervention model: Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), which treats children for parasite infections in sub-Saharan Africa. They're not registered as a charity in the U.S. but you can contribute to them through GiveWell.

Another flagrant omission. Taken from Machinedrum's second LP – Half The Battle – this is one of those songs that totally blows your mind when you think it was released in 2002 as it sounds so 'modern' / of the now in terms of its overall aesthetic and the way the rhythm functions. I'd actually never heard it until my friend Lewis played it to me about six months ago. I had to pick up my jaw off the floor when the drop came in. It's still THAT good ten years later.
NB: This is the Proemix, meaning it's a remix by Proem.
Unfortunately the only Youtube of it was removed shortly after I found it (ironically by Dimlite who asked for the uploader to be banned from Youtube). But it's the second track in this all Machinedrum mix and really you should buy the album. Really.

How to Install, Installation Best Practices
InGo is not a registration platform, but a social-supercharging plugin to amplify your event across the social media landscape of your attendees. Ensure best practices by following the instructions outlined below when installing InGo.
See our entire documentation regarding widgets on our GitHub repo.
Guided Installation and Quality Assurance
Click below to install and conduct quality assurance for your event!
Installing All Necessary Widgets
1. Starting Registration - ACTIVATOR WIDGET
The InGo Activator Widget initiates the social-amplification. Potential registrants start by logging in socially and authorizing the InGo app. It's at this critical moment that InGo can do several things in succession. The most important of these is to target the most socially relevant contacts in that user's network based on targeted keywords.
Embed the Activator whenever possible using the script below, inserting your specific widget ID.
Ensure Activator is prominently displayed and the only social media call to action.
Only utilize our modal pop-up option when you cannot embed. Notify your InGo Account Manager to activate this feature.
Remove as much of the "clutter" and copy around the start of the registration as possible to have a clear call - to - action (CTA).
Example Code Snippet:
<script src="https://cdn.ingo.me/widgets-loader/latest/js/ingo.loader.widget.js" data-ingo-id="INSERT_ACTIVATOR_WIDGET_ID_HERE" data-ingo-manual="http://www.your_redirect_or_landing_URL_goes_here.com"></script>
2. Autofilling registration Data - AutofillER WIDGET
InGo can help speed up registration by autofilling social media profile data to your registration forms.
Embed Autofill whenever you need to populate attendee data that InGo can map. For example, if you have multiple locations that you need autofill to occur, be sure to place the Autofill snippet wherever it's needed. Only 1 Autofill snippet per page is necessary.
Example Code Snippet:
<script src="https://cdn.ingo.me/widgets-loader/latest/js/ingo.loader.widget.js" data-ingo-id="INSERT_AUTOFILLER_WIDGET_ID_HERE"></script>
Note: Autofill will not work for your event. If you wish to experience this piece of functionality, you do need a personal demo scheduled. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to complete the contact form.
3. Displaying the AMPLIFIer Widget/WHO's-in
InGo can help your attendees search, discover and invite people in their networks through the use of our Social snippet. Ensure best practices by adhering to the following:
Embed the Amplifier on your confirmation page.
Ensure the Amplifier is prominently displayed and the only social media call-to-action.
Embed the Amplifier elsewhere on your public marketing website (outside of your registration flow).
Example Code Snippet:
<script src="https://cdn.ingo.me/widgets-loader/latest/js/ingo.loader.widget.js" data-ingo-id="INSERT_AMPLIFIER_WIDGET_ID_HERE"></script>
4. CONFIGURING the AUTHORIZER WIDGET
Through the use of InGo's Authorizer snippet, InGo posts on the user's timeline/status or feed, depending on which option he/she selecting at Login. Our Confirmation snippet also ensures accurate data is being sent from the registration flow to ensure duplicates are not created.
Embed the Authorizer at the end of the process after purchase/ticket/registration completion.
In a typical registration flow, you embed both the Authorizer and the Amplifier widget on your platform's confirmation page.
Embed the Authorizer before embedding the Amplifier snippet. This ensures that our confirmation beacon fires first and reports accurate data and posts right away.
IMPORTANT: You must configure the Authorizer to send us the actual data values on the final page. Also, if you have an additional attendee, meaning, 1 registrant can also register multiple people in the same session, you need to add an additional Authorizer widget, 1 PER ADDITIONAL Attendee. See below for the example.
Example Code Snippet, One Registrant Workflow
<script src="https://cdn.ingo.me/widgets-loader/latest/js/ingo.loader.widget.js" data-ingo-id="INSERT_AUTHORIZER_WIDGET_ID_HERE"
Example Code Snippet, More than One Registrant (Multiple Attendees)
<script src="https://cdn.ingo.me/widgets-loader/latest/js/ingo.loader.widget.js" data-ingo-id="INSERT_AUTHORIZER_WIDGET_ID_HERE"
Enhancements, Best Practice Example Screenshots
Using the Activator Widget and Amplifier Widget at the start of registration, clearly displayed, visually compelling with a very clear call-to-action, Register Socially.
Good copy can make a difference.
When encouraging users to socially-adopt during the start of the registration process, having language to explain the benefits and values of adopting socially can make a world of difference. See this example that has seen outstanding results.

With well-established evidence indicating impaired small airway function and air trapping in patients with geriatric COPD, utilizing forced oscillation technique (FOT) as a supplementary tool may aid in the assessment of lung function in this population. Aims: To study the use of FOT in the assessment of airflow limitation and air trapping in geriatric COPD patients. Study design: A cross-sectional study in a public hospital in Hong Kong. ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01553812. Methods: Geriatric patients who had spirometry-diagnosed COPD were recruited, with both FOT and plethysmography performed. "Resistance" and "reactance" FOT parameters were compared to plethysmography for the assessment of air trapping and airflow limitation. Results: In total, 158 COPD subjects with a mean age of 71.9±0.7 years and percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1 second of 53.4±1.7 L were recruited. FOT values had a good correlation (r=0.4–0.7) to spirometric data. In general, X values (reactance) were better than R values (resistance), showing a higher correlation with spirometric data in airflow limitation (r=0.07–0.49 vs 0.61–0.67), small airway (r=0.05–0.48 vs 0.56–0.65), and lung volume (r=0.12–0.29 vs 0.43–0.49). In addition, resonance frequency (Fres) and frequency dependence (FDep) could well identify the severe type (percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1 second <50%) of COPD with high sensitivity (0.76, 0.71) and specificity (0.72, 0.64) (area under the curve: 0.8 and 0.77, respectively). Moreover, X values could stratify different severities of air trapping, while R values could not. Conclusion: FOT may act as a simple and accurate tool in the assessment of severity of airflow limitation, small and central airway function, and air trapping in patients with geriatric COPD who have difficulties performing conventional lung function test. Moreover, reactance parameters were better than resistance parameters in correlation with air trapping.

It's almost the 4th of July, the day when Americans celebrate their independence from Zarkon, leader of the Galra Empire for the past 10,000+ years.
General George Washington, the paladin of the Black Lion, formed Voltron with the other founding fathers, cut down the Robeast turncoat Benedict Arnold to secure this country's independence from tyranny, taxation without representation, gladiatorial combat, and Brexit.
Before I immigrated to the United States as a pre-teen, three things represented this country to me:
- Disney
- Hershey
- Lego
Like millions of other kids around the world, I adored all things Disney and savored whatever bit of it I could get in Asia of the 1970s. When we got to visit when I was 6 or 7 years old, we went to Disneyland in California and it was the best thing ever. I got so pooped that I fell asleep while riding Space Mountain with my dad. When we got to visit Disneyworld many years later, I was able to ride Space Mountain again without falling asleep.
Hershey bars were another special treat that we rarely had. We lived in Dacca, Bangladesh for a few years starting in the late 70s, and one of the cool things we got to do was visit the US Embassy for movie screenings whereupon we were able to buy some (expired) Hershey bars from the commissary. One movie we got to see was Jaws. I ate chocolate. One of my brothers didn't shower for a week because Jaws might come out of the showerhead.
My grandmother immigrated to the United States in the 1960s. I got to see her when she visited the Philippines, and once I got old enough, she would send me a few pieces of Lego in the mail. These accumulated, and by 4 years old, Lego was the only thing that I would ask for. Every birthday or Christmas was an occasion for me to acquire some more for my collection; I was obsessed. When we immigrated to the States, I only cared about my Lego collection which I brought in a rolling, expanding bag. Other than a couple detours like the odd He-Man or G.I. Joe, Lego was it. Never mind that I didn't make the connection that Lego is Danish.
Happy birthday to my adopted home, the United States of America! I don't want to make you great again. You may not be perfect, but you're pretty awesome to me.

At lunchtime today I got back from the DEFAP Forum which has been taking place in Rouen over the weekend. It was a splendid, fun and well organised event with a great ambiance and took place in Rouen's Halle aux Toiles which is a great venue. Several of my FPF colleagues were also there including Marianne Guéroult of the Mosaic project, she had a great stand with loads of activity and interest in the different projects that the migration churches are involved in. Apart from going round and drinking up the great music, atmosphere and exhibitions I met up with lots of people and had useful discussions with lots of folk about ecumenism and much more besides.
Officially though I was there to lead two sessions at the afternoon workshops "Un printemps oecuménique est-il possible et avec quel language aujourd'hui?" It was great to do two busy sessions with motivated and very talkative people. Of course our time was limited so it was important to try and give everyone the possibility to say something simple about the theme without full scale discussion. So I spent time on the train to Rouen cutting out flower petals ... twas ever thus with the crazy Stranz woman. Everyone in the groups received 4 or 5 petals and then after some introduction from me on the theme I encouraged people to write words on their petals in response to my saying the word "springtime". We got a wonderful series of words and phrases in response - I'll copy them up tomorrow (oh no do I sense procrastination ...). Everyone of course got to say their words and phrases about springtime out loud. Those petals were gathered up while the second word was given to the group, that word was of course "ecumenism" - I do wonder if I had given the words in reverse order whether the results would have been diffierent ... generally there were very positive responses to the ecumenism question - that surprised me. I think the two that really struck me were "le projet originel" and "river with many tributaries which has problems finding its estuary".
Discussion was so intense that we didn't have time for the final phase which was to make flowers out of our ecumenical sprintime petals so I have done that this afternoon on the wonderful parquet floor of my Paris appartment. they look better than I thought they would and I think they're quite fun. A bit of artwork for the ecumenism of the people I've been talking about on and off in my new job. the theme of the even also helped to frame ecumenism in terms not only of the "other" who is the world "chez moi" but also to think of ourselves as the world "chez les autres". Being a Protestant in France is still quite exotic for lots of people.
It was important to be at this mission event which only takes place once every four years and it helped encourage me to think about the work of the FPF in terms of missional theology.
Anyway the other great thing about these ecumenical sunflowers is that at the opening worship everyone received a packet of sunflower seeds. I suspect those will not have quite such variegated petals as these paper ones.

Mexican Underground POP-UP at a Secret Location
A word about the experience
About RANDE:
RANDE is a Mexican pop up restaurant exploring life beyond tacos and winding up somewhere between the traditional and inventive side of the cuisine. We're talking labour intensive moles served with melt in your mouth pork tenderloin and perfectly puffed, inflatadas stuffed with homemade foams that will bring a tear to your eye. And all these tasty morsels are magically conjured in the makeshift kitchens of London's hidden and forgotten nooks; laundromats, victorian boiler rooms and deserted warehouses are among the favourites.
For diners, the adventure starts as they walk down the road, timidly searching for this odd venue and getting a little bit lost along the way. They fumble through the door and find a party awaiting. They search for their group and bond with strangers who are equally perplexed by the evening they have embarked on. Communal tables are slow filled and diners are presented with four courses of Mexican delights.
And who dreams up these lunacies? The RANDE team is a group of renegades and dreamers - none of whom have stepped foot in a professional kitchen prior to RANDE's inception four years ago. They take tequila shots and orders from their fearless (mad?) leader, Randy - with hell of a lot of imagination … and cajones.
This is a dining experience unlike any other. Must be seen to be believed.
Example Menu:
An Ode to DF Street Food
spicy mango laced with citrus, toasted coconut and fresh herbs
a perfectly puffed and extremely delicate tortilla filled with sliced filet steak, homemade caper, chive aioli, and a mysteriously delicious micro coriander salad. Vegetarian substitute is equally delicious
Almond Mole
a complex, spicy/sweet, very traditional Mexican sauce served with slow cooked, sous vide pork tenderloin accented with garlic thyme. Vegetarian option with aubergine
Chocolate Ganache Taco
freshly made cacao tortillas with coconut chocolate ganache, vanilla cream, chilli powder and caramel shards
