What should I ask Russ Roberts?
I will be doing a Conversations with Tyler with Russ, the master podcaster himself, but of course also a prolific author in multiple fields. So what should I ask him? Here is Russ on Wikipedia, here is Russ's home page.
My Conversation with Ed Boyden, MIT neuroscientist
Here is the transcript and audio, highly recommended, and for background here is Ed's Wikipedia page. Here is one relevant bit for context:
COWEN: You've trained in chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, and neuroscience, correct?
BOYDEN: Yeah, I started college at 14, and I focused on chemistry for two years, and then I transferred to MIT, where then I switched into physics and electrical engineering, and that's when I worked on quantum computing.
COWEN: Five areas, actually. Maybe more.
BOYDEN: Guess so.
COWEN: Should more people do that? Not the median student, but more people?
BOYDEN: It's a good question.
COWEN: Are we less creative if all the parts of our mind become allies? Maybe I'm afraid this will happen to me, that I have rebellious parts of my mind, and they force me to do more interesting things, or they introduce randomness or variety into my life.
BOYDEN: This is a question that I think is going to become more and more urgent as neurotechnology advances. Already there are questions about attention-focusing drugs like Ritalin or Adderall. Maybe they make people more focused, but are you sacrificing some of the wandering and creativity that might exist in the brain and be very important for not only personal productivity but the future of humanity?
I think what we're realizing is that when you intervene with the brain, even with brain stimulation, you can cause unpredictable side effects. For example, there's a part of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. That's actually an FDA-approved site for stimulation with noninvasive magnetic pulses to treat depression. But patients, when they're stimulated here . . . People have done studies. It can also change things like trust. It can change things like driving ability.
There's only so many brain regions, but there's millions of things we do. Of course, intervening with one region might change many things.
COWEN: What kind of students are you likely to hire that your peers would not hire?
BOYDEN: Well, I really try to get to know people at a deep level over a long period of time, and then to see how their unique background and interests might change the field for the better.
I have people in my group who are professional neurosurgeons, and then, as I mentioned, I have college dropouts, and I have people who . . . We recently published a paper where we ran the brain expansion process in reverse. So take the baby diaper polymer, add water to expand it, and then you can basically laser-print stuff inside of it, and then collapse it down, and you get a piece of nanotechnology.
The co–first author of that paper doesn't have a scientific laboratory background. He was a professional photographer before he joined my group. But we started talking, and it turns out, if you're a professional photographer, you know a lot of very practical chemistry. It turns out that our big demo — and why the paper got so much attention — was we made metal nanowires, and the way we did it was using a chemistry not unlike what you do in photography, which is a silver chemistry.
And this:
COWEN: Let's say you had $10 billion or $20 billion a year, and you would control your own agency, and you were starting all over again, but current institutions stay in place. What would you do with it? How would you structure your grants? You're in charge. You're the board. You do it.
COWEN: If you're designing architecture for science, what do you do? What do you change? What would you improve? Because presumably most of it is not designed for science. Maybe none of it is.
BOYDEN: I've been thinking about this a lot, actually, lately. There are different philosophies, like "We should have open offices so everybody can see and talk to each other." Or "That's wrong. You should have closed spaces so people can think and have quiet time." What I think is actually quite interesting is this concept that maybe neither is the right approach. You might want to think about having sort of an ecosystem of environments.
My group — we're partly over at the Media Lab, which has a lot of very open environments, and our other part of the group is in a classical sort of neuroscience laboratory with offices and small rooms where we park microscopes and stuff like that. I actually get a lot of productivity out of switching environments in a deliberate way.

What should I ask Ezekiel J. Emanuel?
I will be doing a Conversations with Tyler with him, no associated public event. So what should I ask him? Here is his Wikipedia page.
Stupid but wonderful sentences
Traveling and not traveling, this is what I do.
That is from Bernard-Henri Levy (NYT), it was preceded by this:
I do not live very differently when I travel and when I don't, which means I do my duty. My duty is to read, to write and to fight. These are the three things that are my duty.
Is the corporation your friend?
The funny thing is, although it is wrong to think of corporations as people, it is probably also necessary for social cohesion. If the American people are going to support business in the court of public opinion, business must to some extent have a friendly face. Otherwise politics might treat business too harshly, ultimately leading to bad consequences for American private enterprise. Furthermore, consumer loyalty to corporations, even if irrational, is part of what induces better behavior from those corporations. Companies know that if they build up a good public image and stick around with a track record of reliable service, consumers will reward them with a kind of emotional loyalty. Overall, that creates a largely positive business incentive, one that would not be present if all consumers were more aware of the somewhat more cynical truth: that corporations should be judged not as friends but as abstract, shark-like legal entities devoted to commercial profit. The more that consumers see the relationship as possibly long-term, the more loyally profit-seeking corporations will end up behaving in a long-term and socially responsible manner. Societies need their illusions in this regard, and thus it can be dangerous to fully articulate and make publicly known the entire truth about business corporations and the fundamentally dubious nature of their loyalty.
So the trick is this: the public needs to some extent to believe in corporations as people, just to keep the system running. Workers need to hold similar feelings, to maintain workplace cohesion. Yet when it comes to politics and public policy, we need to distance ourselves from such emotional and anthropomorphized attitudes. We need to stop being loyal to corporations for the sake of loyalty and friendship, and we also need to stop being disappointed in corporations all the time, as if we should be judging them by the standards we apply to individual human beings and particularly our friends. Instead, we should view companies more dispassionately, as part of an abstract legal and economic order with certain virtues and also plenty of imperfections. Unfortunately, that is not about to happen anytime soon.
That is from the final chapter of my forthcoming book Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero. Ah, and there is more:
One reason we like to think of corporations as our friends is that we can feel in greater control that way. I've already discussed just how much we rely on corporations—for our food, for our entertainment, for communicating with our friends and loved ones, and for getting around from one place to another. But for all the talk from economists about consumer sovereignty, it's not clear how much people actually are in control at all. It's true you can choose what to buy in the Giant, Safeway, or Whole Foods, but it's hard to step outside the commercial network as a whole, and the nature of that network shapes so many of our choices and thus our lives.
Of course, it is impossible for customers to ponder these philosophical questions in their deepest and subtlest terms all day long, as that would consume way too much of people's mental and emotional energies. So instead people translate their rather bizarre, non-hunter-gatherer modern commercial society into terms that their more primeval selves are familiar with. That is, people carry around a mental picture of being surrounded by people they can trust, if only salespeople, and of being in a familiar environment in which they are exercising their free will as consumers and also as workers. Given the need to get through each day, it is emotionally very hard for people to internalize emotionally the true and correct picture of those businesses as partaking in an impersonal order based on mostly selfish, profit-seeking behavior.
You can debate exactly how true or untrue our generally held picture of freedom in modern commercial society is, but I can't help but feel that part of it is a lie. The system offers many formal properties of freedom, such as the immense choice of products and jobs, and the relative lack of imposed coercion on most of these decisions. Still, when you combine pressures for conformity, the scarcity of attention, the stresses of our personal lives, and the need for "ready quick" decision-making heuristics, it's not exactly a life of true freedom we are living. It is (more or less) close to the freest life a society is capable of providing us, but it isn't quite free in the metaphysical sense of actually commanding our individual destinies through the exercise of our own free will. At least some of the freedom of contemporary consumer society is an illusion, taken upon ourselves to make our lives feel bearable and to help us feel more in control—precisely because, to some extent, we are not very much in control at all.

My Conversation with Emily Wilson
She is a classics scholar and the translator of my favorite edition of Homer's Odyssey, here is the audio and transcript. Here is part of the CWT summary:
She and Tyler discuss these [translation] questions and more, including why Silicon Valley loves Stoicism, whether Plato made Socrates sound smarter than he was, the future of classics education, the effect of AI on translation, how to make academia more friendly to women, whether she'd choose to 'overlive', and the importance of having a big Ikea desk and a huge orange cat.
Here is one excerpt:
COWEN: Let's jump right in on the Odyssey. I want you to explain the whole book to me, but let's start small. Does Odysseus even want to return home?
WILSON: [laughs] He does as the poem starts. As the poem starts, he spent the last seven years on the island of a goddess called Calypso, originally, the poem implies, quite willingly. So, it seems as if he's changed his mind about whether or not he wants to go home. But as the poem begins, he does want to get back home to Ithaca, to his wife, Penelope, and his son, Telemachus.
COWEN: Do you think he means it? Or is he just self-deceiving? Because he takes the detour into the underworld. He hangs around with Circe for many years. There's a contrast with Menelaus, who acts as if he actually does want to get home. Who's lying to whom in this story?
WILSON: Odysseus, of course, is lying all the time, so it's very hard for the reader to get a firm grasp on what are his motives. Also, when he tells Calypso that he desperately wants to get back home, it's very striking to me that he doesn't give his motives. He says to Calypso, "You're much more beautiful than my wife is, and you've promised to make me immortal. It's a great offer, but I want to go home." He doesn't explain what is it that drives that desire to go home.
And you're quite right: he makes many detours. He spends another year, quite willingly, with Circe, another goddess. So it seems as if he's easily distractible from the quest, for sure.
COWEN: Should we consider electing politicians by lot today? Is it such a crazy idea?
WILSON: I think it's a great idea.
COWEN: Great idea?
WILSON: Yes, yeah.
COWEN: Now, you have another well-known book. It's called Seneca: A Life. On reading it, this is my reaction: why are the Stoics so hypocritical? Seneca spends his life sucking up to power. He's very well off, extremely political, and possibly involved in murder plots, right?
WILSON: [laughs] Yes, that's right. Yes.
COWEN: What is there about Stoicism? Marcus Aurelius is somewhat bloodthirsty, it seems. So, are the Stoics all just hypocrites, and they wrote this to cover over their wrongdoings? Or how should we think about the actual history of Stoicism?
WILSON: I see Seneca and Marcus Aurelius as very, very different characters. Marcus Aurelius was militaristic, bloodthirsty, and an expander of the Roman Empire. He was happy to slaughter many barbarians. He was fairly consistent about thinking that was a good idea, and also fairly consistent in associating his dream of culture and military imperialism with Stoic models of virtue.
Whereas Seneca was very much constantly unable to fully act out the ideals that he had. One of the reasons he's so interesting as a writer is that he's so precise in articulating what it means to have a very, very clear vision of the good life and to be completely unable to follow through on living the good life.
COWEN: But why would you accumulate so much wealth if you're a true Stoic?
You can buy Emily's translation of Homer here, and she is now working on doing The Iliad as well.
Why is there so much suspicion of big business?
Perhaps in part because we cannot do without business, so many people hate or resent business, and they love to criticize it, mock it, and lower its status. Business just bugs them. After I explained the premise of this book to one of my colleagues, Bryan Caplan, he shrieked to me: "But, but . . . how can people be ungrateful toward corporations? Corporations give us everything! Corporations do everything for us!" Of course, he was joking, as he understood full well that people are often pretty critical of corporations. And they are critical precisely because corporations do so much for us. And do so much to us.
Does my colleague's outburst remind you of anything? Well, immediately he followed up with this: "Hating corporations is like hating your parents."
There is another reason it doesn't quite work to think of businesses as our friends. Friendship is based in part on an intrinsic loyalty that transcends the benefit received in any particular time and place. Many friendships also rely on an ongoing exchange of reciprocal benefits, yet without direct consideration each and every time of exactly how much reciprocity is needed. In addition to the self-interested joys of friendly togetherness, friendship is about commonality of vision, a wish to see your own values reflected in another, a sense of potential shared sacrifice, and a (partial) willingness to put the interest of the other person ahead of your own, without always doing a calculation about what you will get back.
A corporation just doesn't fit this mold in the same way. A business may wish to appear to be an embodiment of friendly reciprocity, but it is more like an amoral embodiment of principles that usually but not always work out for the common good. The senior management of the corporation has a legally binding responsibility to maximize shareholder profits, at least subject to the constraints of the law and perhaps other constraints embodied in the company's charter or by-laws. The exact nature of this fiduciary responsibility will vary, but it never says the company ought to be the consumer's friend, at least not above and beyond when such friendship may prove instrumentally valuable to the ends of the company, including profit.
In this setting, companies will almost always disappoint us if we judge them by the standards of friendship, as the companies themselves are trying to trick us into doing. Companies can never quite meet the standards of friendship. They're not even close acquaintances. At best they are a bit like wolves in sheep's clothing, but these wolves bring your food rather than eat you.
Those are both excerpts from my final chapter "If business is so good, why is it so disliked?", from my book Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero.
What is wrong with social justice warriors?
Curious if you've read this (has a PDF link):
Is this paper bad? If it is bad, what is bad about it? How would you describe "what is bad about it" in a way that would connect to a college freshman who finds his/her economics and critical race theory classes to be equally interesting and deserving of further study? This extends to broader questions about "what precisely is undesirable about the state of social-justice-oriented academic study?" I have seen a lot of backhanded stuff from you on this topic, but not a centrally articulated, earnest answer.
That is from my email, and I would broaden the question to be about social justice warriors more generally. Most of all, I would say I am all for social justice warriors! Properly construed, that is. But two points must be made:
1. Many of the people who are called social justice warriors I would not put in charge of a candy shop, much less trust them to lead the next jihad.
2. Many social justice warriors seem more concerned with tearing down, blacklisting, and deplatforming others, or even just whining about them, rather than working hard to actually boost social justice, whatever you might take that to mean. Most of that struggle requires building things in a positive way, I am sorry to say.
That all said, do not waste too much of your own energies countering the not-so-helpful class of social justice warriors. It is not worth it. Perhaps someone needs to play such a role, but surely those neuterers are not, or at least should not be, the most talented amongst us.
No matter what your exact view of the world, or what kind of ornery pessimist or determinist or conservative or even reactionary you may be, you should want to be working toward some kind of emancipation in the world. No, I am not saying there always is a clear "emancipatory" side of a debate, or that most issues are "us vs. them." Rather, if you are not sure you are doing the right thing, ask a simple question: am I building something? Whether it be a structure, an institution, or simply a positive idea, proposal, or method.
The answer to that building question may not always be obvious, but it stands a pretty good chance of getting you to an even better question for your next round of inquiry.

Those new service sector jobs is this one in fact torture?
Imagine: For the rest of your life, you are assigned no tasks at work. You can watch movies, read books, work on creative projects or just sleep. In fact, the only thing that you have to do is clock in and out every day. Since the position is permanent, you'll never need to worry about getting another job again.
Starting in 2026, this will be one lucky (or extremely bored) worker's everyday reality, thanks to a government-funded conceptual art project in Gothenburg, Sweden. The employee in question will report to Korsvägen, a train station under construction in the city, and will receive a salary of about $2,320 a month in U.S. dollars, plus annual wage increases, vacation time off and a pension for retirement. While the artists behind the project won't be taking applications until 2025, when the station will be closer to opening, a draft of the help-wanted ad is already available online, as Atlas Obscura reported on Monday.
The job's requirements couldn't be simpler: An employee shows up to the train station each morning and punches the time clock. That, in turn, illuminates an extra bank of fluorescent lights over the platform, letting travelers and commuters know that the otherwise functionless employee is on the job. At the end of the day, the worker returns to clock out, and the lights go off. In between, they can do whatever they want, aside from work at another paying job.
That is by Antonia Noori Farzan at WaPo. The project is called "Eternal Employment."
For the pointer I thank Peter Sperry.
My Rubin Report interview
Toward a theory of random, concentrated breakthroughs
I don't (yet?) agree with what is to follow, but it is a model of the world I have been trying to flesh out, if only for the sake of curiosity. Here are the main premises:
1. For a big breakthrough in some area to come, many different favorable inputs had to come together. So the Florentine Renaissance required the discovery of the right artistic materials at the right time (e.g., good tempera, then oil paint), prosperity in Florence, guilds and nobles interested in competing for status with artistic commissions, relative freedom of expression, and so on.
2. To some extent, but not completely, the arrival of those varied inputs is random. Big breakthroughs are thus hard to predict and also hard to control.
3. A breakthrough in one area increases the likelihood that further breakthroughs will come in closely related areas. So if the coming together of the symphony orchestra leads to the work of Mozart and Haydn, that in turn becomes an inspiration and eases the path for later breakthroughs in music, not just Mahler but also The Beatles, compared to say how much it might ease future breakthroughs for painting.
4. Some breakthroughs are very very good for economic growth, such as the Industrial Revolution. But most breakthroughs do not in any direct way boost gdp very much. The Axial age led to the creation of significant religions and intellectual traditions, but the (complex) effects on gdp are mostly lagged and were certainly hard to see at the time.
5. Even if Robert Gordon is right that we will never have a new period of material progress comparable to the early 20th century for improving living standards, the next breakthrough eras still might be very important.
6. One possibility is that the next breakthrough will be some form of brain engineering. People might be much happier and better adjusted, but arguably that could lower measured gdp by boosting "household production" in lieu of market activity. At the very least, gdp figures may not reflect the value of those gains.
7. Another candidate for the next breakthrough would be institutional changes that make ongoing international peace much more likely. That would have some positive effects on gdp in the short run, but its major effects would be in the much longer run, namely the prevention of a very destructive war.
8. Judged by the standards of the last breakthrough, the current/next breakthrough is typically hard to see and understand. It almost always feels like we are failing at progress.
9. When a breakthrough comes, you need to ride it for all it is worth. Arguably you also should embrace the excesses of that breakthrough, not seek to limit them. It is perhaps your only real chance to mine that mother lode of inspiration. So let us hope that Baroque music was "overproduced" in the early to mid 18th century, because after that production opportunities go away. For that reason, "overuse" of the internet and social media today may not be such a bad thing. It is our primary way of exploring all of the potential of that cultural mode, and that mode will at some point be tamed and neutered, just as Baroque music composition is now dormant.
10. Progress in (many forms of) science may be more like progress in Baroque music composition than we comfortably like to think. But I hope not.
My Conversation with Sam Altman
Yes, the Sam Altman of Y Combinator and Open AI. We even got around to Harry Potter, James Bond (and Q), Spiderman, Antarctica, and Napoleon, what is wrong with San Francisco, in addition to venture capital and the hunt for talent. Here is the transcript and audio. Here is one excerpt:
ALTMAN: I think our greatest differentiator is not how we identify talent, although I will answer that question, but the fact that we treat our own business — we run Y Combinator in the way that we tell our startups to run as a successful startup, which almost no venture capital firm does.
Almost every venture capital firm gives advice they never follow themselves. They don't build differentiated products. They are not network-affected businesses. They don't try to build a brand and a community. And they don't try to make something that gets better the bigger it gets and have the scale effects that anyone would tell you they want in a business.
We at Y Combinator always say we want to get a lot bigger because this is a network effect, this is a network that matters. Most venture capital firms will say out of one side of their mouth, "Oh no, smaller is better," because they don't want to work more. Then they'll tell all their businesses, "The network effect is the only thing that matters."
Many people are as smart as we are, think about the world in similar ways. But I think we have internalized that we run our firm the same way we tell our startups to operate, and we view the most important thing that we do is to build a network and a network effect.
COWEN: Let me play venture capital skeptic, and you can talk me back into optimism.
ALTMAN: I might not.
COWEN: Let's say I say, tech has had a stream of big hits: personal computer, internet, cell phone, mobile. You've had a lot of rapidly scalable innovations become possible in a short period of time. We're now in a slight lull. We're not sure what the next big thing is or when it will come. Without that next big thing, won't the current equilibrium require a higher rate of picking the right talent than venture capitalists are, in fact, able to do?
ALTMAN: I will talk you out of that one, happily. The most expensive investing mistake in the world to make is to be a pessimist, and it's a common one. I think that's actually the most common mistake to make in life. It is true that we are in a lull right now, but it is absolutely, categorically false that — unless the world gets destroyed in a very short term — that we will not have a bigger technological wave then we've ever had before.
COWEN: Why can't I be an optimist but not an optimist about VC? I think new ideas will come through established companies. They'll be funded by private equity. They'll happen in China. But the exact formula where you can afford to make so many mistakes because the hits are so big — to what extent does VC rely on that kind of rapid scalability that may not come back?
COWEN: Young Napoleon shows up. What do you think after 5 minutes?
ALTMAN: How young? Like 18-year-old Napoleon or 5-year-old?
COWEN: Before he's famous, 21-year-old Napoleon.
ALTMAN: From everything I've read that would be a definite yes. In fact, the best book I read last year is called The Mind of Napoleon, which is a book of quotes about his views on everything. Just that thick on Napoleon quotes. Obviously deeply flawed human, but man, impressive.
Definitely recommended.

It is free to search locals
If you are a person who is looking for escorts, then you have made a very good choice. Unlike the past, when a person has to look for a prostitute only in a certain town or place, now you have the freedom to have multiple escorts in many cities of the world. A prostitute, on the other hand, requires her escort to be registered under the law. A person can have sex with many prostitutes.
Nowadays, people are much more civilized. They have gone beyond the simple affairs of once and a night and are now ready to enjoy their fantasies with people from all over the world. The demand for escorts is such that the market for prostitutes is not only a thing of the past.
People all over the world will pay money to have sex with prostitutes. There are even some people who travel from one city to another, just to have sex with prostitutes. For most, it is just a simple act of simple lust. However, for a person with more than average money to spend, there are many people who still go on with the process.
The choice of escorts is a more or less personal thing. If you are looking for a single escorts in a particular area, you can check out the listings for escorts on the internet. You will find many places offering escort services. You can also look at the advertisements of individual escorts. You will find that there are many escorts in a city who are ready to satisfy your needs.
A person can have sex with escorts from other parts of the world. If you are not sure about where the escorts are, you can check out the international directories on the internet. You will find the prostitutes' contact details and places of origin. If you would like to travel to any place, you can look for the prostitute on the directory, then call or email the person. You will find that you can pick up the phone and talk to the prostitute and have a private meeting. There are also many websites that are popular to escort services.

You can also go for a person who is registered with a private agency. If you find a person who is an escort and they are willing to act for you, you will need to go through their background check. The agency will ensure that you are getting the best service and will always provide you with the proper payment for your escorts. If you have such a person as an escort, you will need to pay a premium price for the service.
The most important thing is that you pay for the best service you can get. You should be happy with the money you pay for and you should always be satisfied with the services that you have. If you are too cheap, you will not be satisfied with the service and you will end up having a bad time. Your expectations should be clear.

Maps from this time display no jail properties; the punishment for convicts was transportation rather then incarceration, but really serious offences had been penalised by flogging and hanging.[46] Phillip sent exploratory missions seeking better soils and fixed to the Parramatta location as being a promising space for growth and moved a lot of the convicts from late 1788 to determine a small township, which turned the main centre of the colony's financial lifestyle, leaving Sydney Cove only as a crucial port and focus of social lifestyle.

For as long as content has existed, there's been bad content.
Content marketing has a pretty rich and interesting history, and marketers today may be improving their practices and the work they produce — but bad content has always been (and will always be) around.
That said, I can see for a second why some marketers or brand leaders aren't terribly worried about fake news and its rise. Fake news content is bad content; you're lucky (but are you really?) if you can make it through the first few lines of one of those pieces.
So what? Bad content has always existed, and as long as you're not actively contributing to it by pushing out overly promotional, low-quality content, what do you really have to worry about?
When that bad content is blatantly biased, spammy, or unsubstantiated, you might give consumers the benefit of the doubt. They surely wouldn't read it, believe it, share it with their networks, or act on it. Can't they tell it's not accurate, high-quality content?
I've got some news for you: They sometimes can't.
Fake news is a real problem, and it has real consequences — for audiences, content marketers, publishers, and everyone with an uncle who knows how to use Facebook. Content creators and consumers are facing new challenges. To separate fact from fiction and maintain trust with your audiences, here's what you should know.
Your audience members' access to information doesn't necessarily improve their ability to verify that information. If you've ever been fortunate enough to help an older family member figure out her smartphone or set up a Blu-ray player with Wi-Fi, you know that being "plugged in" and being "in the know" aren't always synonymous.
Just like watching a movie on Netflix doesn't make you an expert on all things streaming, consuming online content doesn't make you a content expert. Research shows that your audience members are actually having a pretty hard time figuring out whether the content they're consuming is real or fake, earned or bought, sponsored or contributed.
In its report on native advertising, Contently found that only 23 percent of respondents described the sponsored content they saw as advertising, and 44 percent weren't able to correctly identify the sponsor of the native ad.
And it's not just sponsored content that's throwing readers for a loop. NPR reported on research from Stanford University that looked at how well students were able to assess the credibility of online information sources — and the results weren't exactly display-on-the-fridge material.
The majority of high school students couldn't tell the difference between a real news source and a fake one on Facebook, and more than 30 percent argued that the fake source was more trustworthy than the verified account.
Even most Stanford undergrads couldn't tell the difference between mainstream and fringe sources. After spending up to 10 minutes using Google and on-site links to evaluate them, more than half concluded the fringe source — an organization classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center — was the more reliable one.
Misinformation isn't new, and neither is the fact that audiences don't always know how to separate it from the truth. Look no further than the checkout line at the grocery store for ye olde fake news in the form of "BELOVED CELEBRITY'S SECRET FAMILY SPEAKS OUT." So why is fake news such a big deal now? Social media.
Pair changing social media platforms and their potential reach with someone's inability to tell real and unreal content apart, and fake news can spread like wildfire. In fact, a BuzzFeed News analysis found that top-performing fake news on Facebook earned more engagement than the top stories from major publications in the months leading up to last year's presidential election.
Election-related content might be the strongest example we have of fake news right now, but you can't avoid its consequences simply by removing yourself from political conversations.
It's more than the topic of the content that makes fake news damaging — it's also the fact that it's able to spread so quickly. Content consumers have already been exposed to fake news in one way or another, and its presence is chipping away at the trust they have in the media.
According to Gallup, fewer than one in three Americans has a "great deal" or "fair amount" of trust in the media — the lowest in Gallup's polling history. Trust is already hard to earn. Fake news is making it harder to keep.
Fake news isn't a signal of the end of content, just like its ability to spread isn't a signal of social media's failure. It presents important, but not impossible, challenges. Forward-thinking marketers and content creators are finding an opportunity, and Facebook is introducing plans to combat the problem on its platform.
Let's start with the opportunity. When the trustworthiness of more traditional news media outlets is in question, the door for brands to step into the game is wide open. Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose discussed this opportunity and the democratization of trust on a recent episode of "PNR: This Old Marketing."
You might have an easier time leveraging the trust you've built with your audience to really enter and lead the conversations in your industry — especially if your target audience's trust in major outlets has decreased. Your chance to build your thought leadership and shine as an industry influencer is greater.
Now, on to changes from Facebook. Whether you believe Facebook should fact-check the content on its platform or you believe that's fixing a symptom, not the problem — feeling that fact-checking is really the responsibility of journalists and content creators — the decision has been made.
Facebook will fact-check fake news. Users will be able to report content as fake or misleading, which will prompt third-party fact-checkers to verify whether the content is fake. If it is, it'll be labeled as fake and buried in users' news feeds.
The rise and reach of fake news is important to acknowledge, but it definitely doesn't mark the end of content. It doesn't even mean we need to overhaul our content marketing practices entirely. But it does offer some important reminders.
Content is powerful. It's your job to make sure it's used for good. Maximize your headlines, and commit to sharing accurate, high-quality ideas in your content to deliver on the promises in those headlines. Remember what makes content go viral, and build content communities to grow your reach while maintaining trust. That's really what it all comes down to: trust.
I love cloudy days, office supplies, and rewatching the same sitcoms I've already seen a dozen times. When I'm not looking for ways to elevate content, I'm looking for opportunities to tell stories about my dog.

Back from the Doctor - 1 Week Post Op
Went to dr. this a.m. and he was HAPPY with everything! No infection, minimal bruising and swelling, and will remove stitches next week!!! YAY!!! For all of you just starting out - DO WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS!!! Ice, elevate, rest and limit yourself to 10 minutes every 2 hours! All of this for 7 days!!! (Well, actually I lasted 4 days!) I went out for the day and have enjoyed myself - thanks to my 25 year old baby boy! Added bonus - got some Girl Scout Cookies to munch on next week and supplies to make some more Fairy Gardens! YAY ME!!! Tomorrow will be my 2nd shower day! PRAY it goes well!!!Filed under Uncategorized | Comments (2)
Another Milestone Reached - a shower!
Day 4 and first day by myself went great. Fixed my own breakfast, coffee (put in a travel mug), lunch, worked on laptop, and with the help of my husband, took my first shower. THAT was a challenge! In preparation to surgery I installed a dual showerhead. One that has a handheld wand that has a pause button on the hand part. Got the water turned on and switched to handheld only, then paused it. My husband put a large, plastic step stool in our neo angle shower stall. Put on a boot cover over my boot. He helped lower me to the stool and was able to use wand to wet my hair, paused it, washed, rinsed then conditioned my hair. Soaped myself and rinsed off. My husband then helped lift me up and I used my knee scooter to balance while drying off. It felt WONDERFUL! I hadn't read anything about preparing for surgery. Some of the things I have learned that make a HUGE difference- 1) toilet seat lift 2) knee scooter 3) water bottle 4) a little bag to put things in that hangs over the handle of the scooter ( I put my cell phone, remote controls, medicine, pen, paper, etc) These things have made my life SO much easier and I can be pretty independent during the day when the family is at work and school. BEST advise I can say off of here - KEEP YOUR FOOT ELEVATED!!! Day 4 and haven't taken any pain meds except tylenol and anti inflammation meds. I am NOT a patient person but so far not too bad. I am hoping after doctor visit on Friday that I can go and enjoy dinner out. We'll see. Biggest issue for me is keeping from wanting to get up all the time. I am not used to sitting around. But I have 2 graduations to plan and am working on invitations and stuff to feel that I am getting something accomplished. Sorry to ramble on but am glad for this site!Filed under Uncategorized | Comments (7)

Boots on the Ground (Homefront Trilogy #1) by Rebecca Crowley: With the exception of the books I request to review, I do not read book blurbs. I prefer to be surprised and have no preconceived notion of whether or not I am going to like a book that I have been asked to review. This novella amazed me in a good way, with its original plot, interesting characters and unpredictable ending.
Dr. Laurel Hayes grew up and subsequently settled in the small town of Meridian, Kansas. She comes from wealth and is extremely successful in her own right. Laurel has always wanted to escape her hometown and donate her medical knowledge to areas of the world that could really use her expertise. She is on the cusp of being accepted into a charity program, when former infantry soldier Grady Reid becomes her patient.
Grady spent his childhood in the foster care system and joined the army immediately after he graduated from high school. After years of combat, he decided to call Meridian his home, after his final deployment ended. Adjusting to civilian life has been quite difficult for him, until Laurel becomes a part of his life. Grady is under the false impression that he is not good enough for her, but Laurel makes sure he knows that is not the case.
I liked this novella. Opposites attract is completely true in this story. Ms. Crowley evolves Laurel and Grady's relationship with realism and emotional strength. If you are in the mood for a short, compelling love story, read Boots on the Ground.
Book Info:
Publication: October 28th 2014 by Samhain Publishing | (Homefront Trilogy #1)
With a life that started in foster care and nearly ended in the mountains of Afghanistan, Grady Reid is more than ready to hang up his sergeant's stripes when his Army contract expires.
Small-town Meridian, Kansas, seems as good a place as any to finally put down roots. He's dumped his savings into a ramshackle farmhouse and is on his way to trading bullets for bull breeding when an exquisitely beautiful, totally unattainable blonde turns his head faster than a pivoting cutting horse.
Dr. Laurel Hayes longs to escape the confines of stuffy, small-town life for an adrenaline-fueled, transient lifestyle delivering medical aid in unstable regions around the world. Then she meets Grady, a man with enticing eyes, a slow smile—and not an ounce of the wanderlust that tugs at her soul.
Their lives are headed in opposite directions. But as something more powerful than attraction, desire, or even lust draws them together, something's got to give…or their hearts could break under the strain.
Warning: Contains a strong, silent Texan military man with wounds he can't name, and the gorgeous doctor tough enough to heal them.

We divide the abdomen into upper and lower abdomen (separated by the umbilicus –> tummy-button). Generally we treat both together so as to prevent a step from forming between the two areas.
In most cases we perform this under twilight sedation (this means you will be drowsy and have good pain relief, and will not remember a thing).
The compression garment is worn for 2 weeks fulltime and then 2 weeks during the day.
We also recommend MLD massages in the first 3 weeks after the procedure, with the first one the next day. Have a look at our MLD page to get an idea on how many you require.
The picture alongside indicates where the access points will be made. These will leave a 5-6mm scar, which will fade over time.
Answer: There is no restriction as long as you cover the incision points with decent SPF to prevent the new skin from burning.
Answer: We insert two tiny tubes that create an escape route for excess fluid that needs to drain. These will generally stay on for 3-5 days.
Answer: We recommend 4-5 days of home time. You can work from home.
Answer: Unlimited walking you can do from day 1. Low intensity exercise you can resume after about 2 weeks. High intensity exercise from about 4-5 weeks. This is all comfort dependent.

Published online: 15 January 2019
We review a recently proposed measure of the nonclassicality of a bosonic field, based on the sensitivity of its quasi-probability distributions to ordering of the creation and annihilation operators. We illustrate the new measure by several concrete examples and show its advantages compared to other measures of nonclassicality such as the Wigner function negativity and the entanglement potential.

Atom User Reviews
Jan 8, 2020
A twist-heavy crime thriller spiced with horror and noir elements, I See You is such a finely crafted exercise in slow-burn suspense that its loopy plot contortions only seem absurd in retrospect.
Stephen Dalton
The Hollywood Reporter
Jan 8, 2020
For people who specifically prize meticulous story-craft and the ability to dodge broad genre clichés, I See You is a rare gift.
Tasha Robinson
The Verge
Nov 29, 2019
The film's tone is extremely eerie, with creeping camera movements, striking imagery, abrupt edits, and a delicately sinister score.

These rewards have been split into 3 bands, everyone shall recieve this reward upon joining the server for the first time, this reward is a one time thing and shall be applied automatically.
- 50 Hours - 250cR
- 150 Hours - 500cR
- 300 Hours - 1000cR
The playtime used for this is what has been recorded since the server reset last year, which can be seen with sm_playtime, no exceptions for this shall be made, sorry.

I read with great interest that His Excellency, Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda was awarded the 2009 Clinton Global Citizen Award.
This indeed is a great honour not only for Mr. President, but as he has said he dedicates the award to the people of Rwanda. So it is a great achievement for Rwanda and its people.
Please allow me to extend my best wishes to Mr.President and to wish him many more successes in the coming months.
Kind regards
Yours sincerely

The journey to Ushuaia was vast. We drove for 2 whole days down the same perfectly straight, endlessly long road. The scenery stayed the same too. Flat barron landscape, with barely any vegetation apart from the odd low, lying bush that had managed to find shelter from the relentless patagonian wind. It was only for the last 1 1/2 hrs that the snow capped mountains and lakes finally appeared. we left Puerto Madryn in baking sunshine, wearing t-shirts and flip-flops. What a shock whan we stepped off the bus in Ushuaia - It was freezing. i guess it kind of makes sense, seen as its the most southerly city in the world,`the end of the world,`they call it (although I wish they`d come up with something a bit more optomistic) and not far from Antarctica. And i guess it did make us feel a bit more christmassy.
We met our friends Craig and Katherine. It was great to see some familiar faces. We started to plan our time here. There was one thing that jumped out the page and spurred the same excited reaction in all of us..........Beaver watching! And just like that the seed of obsession was planted. We began to sniff out the best undercover beaver information. Armed with an `inside info beaver hotspot`we packed the tents, rented a car and headed into the national park - Tierra del fuego. We were told to avoid the places everyone goes, although they happened to be a 5 minute walk, our secret damn was 2hrs up a mountain, but it would be worth it.
When we finally reached the damn we set up our stake out. We sat and watched, and sat and watched, and sat and watched and not one of the little b*****s made an appearance. Disheartened, but not defeated we headed back to camp. It doesnt get dark here until about midnight, which really messes up your timings, and it gets light really early too. It was so nice to camp. There was no-one else around. we collected firewood and made a fire, cooked on a little camping stove with river water and squeezed three of us into Craigs two man tent - there was no room for Craig - he slept outside!
The next day we woke up with a new sense of determination. Three more damns - No beavers. by this point we were beginning to go off them anyway, having witness the levels of destruction caused - flooding forests and gnawing down trees. We headed back to Ushuaia. In an attempt to get into the festive spirit we organised a secret santa and found the recipe for mulled wine -sadly not a mince pie in sight. We also arranged a sailing trip on the Beagle Channel for the next day - A guy who worked organising the `official`excursions had a mate with a sail boat that would take us out - sounded like far more fun.
I put on every piece of warm clothing I had today. the wind was freezing cold and we were going to be totally exposed to the elements, boy was I glad I did! Armed with only the captains name and not having a clue what to expect we headed to the dock. Hidden amongst all the beautiful big yatchs and racing boats was our tiny sail boat, smaller than most of the waves I could see on the Channel! we were given full, bright yellow waterproof kit, proper fisherman style - `the water always splashes in,`we were told. we soon realised this wasnt going to be just a pleasant ride- we were here to work. we helped with the sails, steered and changed sides of the boat depending on which way it was leaning - and boy did it lean, it was so choppy. We were almost at ninety degrees! we spent a lot of time focusing in the horizon, but had an amazing day. And yes the water did splash in, and the captain miraculously seemed to know exactly when to duck - I was sat behind him!
So it turns out that christmas eve is the big night here. Thats when they have their christmas dinner and when they open their presents. We struggled to find somewhere to have a dinner on christmas day. And when we did, we were the only ones there which was so bizaar. Didnt have a particularly christmassy day. By the afternoon the shops were open and things were back to normal. We did however manage to find the recipe and ingredients for mulled wine, which over the next few days we perfected.
