Yes, big events have a way of flocking together into our lives like Canadian geese. Except, for us there is no migration out of the cold. At least, no yet.
I went camping with Jan on Sep 12, to be at John and Carol's wedding. This was happening at a camp next to Bass Lake. John, Jan's Dad, is in his early seventies, but that was of no significance for him and his bride to be to married at the beach in picnic shelter at Camp Lake Bass. Beautiful setting, but I had only seen young people do this back in the 1960s. Anyway, maybe this was for them a trip to the "good'old" days. Kind'a romantic, in a way.
We pulled into the camp Friday night, and with some difficulty, and lots of help from Jan and Mom, I was able to set the tent and get the things ready for the night. I could not find the matches to start the fire, so we went to Dad's camping place to share the warmth around the fire. After a while, we went back to our camping spot and started our attempt at having a reasonable night's sleep. It didn't work. I didn't have a pillow, so, I could nor find the right position to fall asleep. Turned and turned until I lost consciousness. Jan got chilled all through the night, in spite of lots of blankets and sleeping bags. Not a good sleep for both.
In the morning, feeling damp and smelly, I wanted to take a shower. Jan knew where the showers were but could not tell me, she was having problems with her speech. Jan has been camping in this park since she was little. With no more directions that "follow the path" (I noticed that there were more than a dozen paths), I went on in my adventure. It was around 8am. and Jan looked tired, not having slept well. It took me about a half hour to find the showers, and then, I quickly used a very wet and impractical shower room. Even though my clothes were hanging on a hook on the wall, the got wet. I put on my soggy clothes and found my way back.
When I arrived at the camp site I found Jan on the ground under the cherry tree in front of the car. She was semi-unconscious laying on her right side. I knew immediately that she had had a seizure while I was gone. I felt upset with myself for leaving her alone. If I had been here... but I know well that nothing would have been different, except that we may have had a chance to go back to the tent before the onset of the seizure. She was grunting. How quickly dignity and propriety dissapear in these circumstances. I Took her head and placed it in my left arm while I was trying to put her left arm around my shoulder and lift her by the waist with my other hand. I don't know how I managed to bring her back to the tent, about three meters away. I placed her on the inflatable mattress and covered her. She was beginning to come to. I asked her if she wanted me to call an ambulance. She said OK. I told her I was going across the road to look for her aunt Mary and Glenn, her husband to ask them for help. they came and after a while, Jan felt a bit better and decided to stay. She really wanted to be part of the wedding ceremony. I don't know where she found the strength, but she got dressed and we attended the ceremony. Jan was leaning against my shoulder all the time, unable to stand by herself, and at lunch time she took a nap on one of the picnic benches.
What marked a new beginning for her Dad was marked for me with a reminder that I have a long road full of uncertainty and illness ahead of me.

Well, if you think studies are speculations, you should understand first what studies are. Of course they have limitations and some are stronger then others, but as far as i know it's not the only study that shows aproximately the same outcome. So what's with the speculations? I know that sometimes the truth is unpleasent and it's simplier to attack and denigrate but let's just be objective. Can we?
Well, if you think studies

Revenooer Rants: IRS gets tough on gamblers
IRS has typically not been a fan of gamblers. They like it when winnings are reported, and therefore tax can be collected. But sometimes there are issues regarding the deductibility of gamers' expenses — take the recent Tax Court decision in the matter of John C. Hom.
This bloke is a poker player — having competed regularly since 1995 in this "trade or business." In 2002, he won an event at the World Series of Poker, and during other years he played both online and casino poker. And needless to say, he had some expenses related to this "trade or business," including travel and lodging, generally, which he deducted on Schedule C submitted with his annual income tax returns.
But he wasn't the best recordkeeper on the planet. Seems IRS disallowed a hefty amount of the taxpayer's gambling losses, not only as a result of the fact that taxpayer's records couldn't substantiate those losses, but also because Hom was just downright "uncooperative."
Not a good characteristic when dealing with the Revenooers.
Further, the taxpayer here suggested he should be allowed to invoke the "Cohan Rule," (based on an old case in which oral testimony and "reasonableness" arguments were sufficient to enable a taxpayer to claim some deductions.)
The Court in Hom was unimpressed, however, noting that "We must have sufficient evidence upon which to make a reasonable estimate to apply the Cohan rule."
Seems Hom had gross receipts from casino poker of more than $150,000 in 2007 and 2008, though the winnings were won on only four dates — suggesting that his casino poker earnings were won in relatively few events, suggesting to the Court that unlike cases involving slot machine players with continuous play but only occasional jackpots, this taxpayer did not necessarily suffer any losses from playing casino poker in 2007 and 2008, thus providing the Court no basis upon which to estimate his gambling losses for those years!
No bueno.
Moving right along — many of our taxpayer friends have been clipped (increasingly in recent years) by the dreaded alternative minimum tax (AMT), which usually makes their hair hurt.
Especially because this provision of the law was originally enacted in the late 1960s, mainly because the Treasury discovered in 1969 that 155 individuals making more than $200,000 paid no (zero) Federal income tax.
These were the "wealthy" folk of the day, when $200,000 was real money — equivalent to something like $1.5 million now.
Today the AMT hits millions of taxpayers — many of whom report a lot less than $1.5 million of income, we might add. And you can thank your lucky stars that Congress recently took action (as a result of the "fiscal cliff" negotiations) to impose a little control over this problem, lest 34 million of you become subjected to the dreaded AMT — roughly one fifth of all taxpayers!
CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISER — This article contains general information about various tax matters. You should consult your CPA regarding the implications to your own particular situation.

The Call of Nursing is not your typical book about nurses. In it, we go behind the curtain of silence that hangs across the profession. It lets us hear why nurses today do what they do, and allows those nurses to show us—in their own words—what has mattered most to them in their professional careers.
The twenty-three intimate self-portraits in The Call of Nursing help us see more clearly the kinds of challenges nurses face and accept on a routine basis, and offer a rare glimpse into lives of women and men committed to care and service.
Occupational stories can serve as powerful tools: they can educate us about the details of a specific job, illustrate various realities within that career, and enrich our emotional and spiritual lives, all at the same time. The compelling narratives in The Call of Nursing: Stories from the Front Lines of Health Care certainly fulfill all those expectations. while treating us like trusted confidantes, these nurses allow us to peek behind the curtain of a profession that deals with individuals at their most vulnerable times – when they are patients.
These twenty-three, first-person profiles in nursing are ethnically, culturally, and educationally diverse. Some of the women and men here emulated mothers who were nurses, and were sure of their life paths before they entered high school. Some switched careers in midstream, for better salaries or increased job security, among other things. And others came to nursing much later in life, often answering a mysterious call to follow a vocation that could make a difference for individuals in need. But, taken together, their stories chronicle work experiences and environments that not only illuminate the broad range of career options for nurses but also form a valuable body of health care knowledge. All in all, this book communicates the essence of nursing.
The profound qualities that unite the voices we hear in this book are passion for the profession and compassion for patients. whether you read this book from cover to cover or savor these nurses' lives one at a time, you can't help but be moved by their hopes, their struggles, and their joys. If you are a nurse, you'll recognize yourself somewhere in here. If you're lucky enough to have a nurse as a friend or family member, you will probably rush through reading it so you can share these stories with them. And if you aren't a nurse yet, I guarantee this book will make you consider becoming one.

Archivist, Bellevue Alumnae Center for Nursing History
I have worked as a nurse on orthopedic units at Level I trauma centers in Boston, in Albany, New York, in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in Ann Arbor, Michigan, among other places, for over thirty years. I have also completed four nursing degrees while I was working full time and raising a family. In 2011, I earned my doctorate of nursing practice from the University of Southern Indiana, in Evansville, where I am currently an assistant professor of nursing.
Ialways knew I was going to be a nurse. There was never a time during my early schooling, elementary through high school, when I didn't want to be one. There were absolutely no medical people in my family, so I don't know where my inspiration came from. It was just something I innately felt I wanted to do, and I never wavered from that course. I guess I was born that way.
However, I was also born with knock knees. Knock knees are when your knees rub together but your feet point out. It's the opposite of bowlegged. To make it worse, I was your typical chubby kid, and weight exacerbates that problem. My kneecaps would dislocate and at times it was very painful to walk. I had my first cast on when I was seven, and I went through my first major procedure in 1963, when I was only eleven. Over the course of my lifetime, I have undergone seven more surgical procedures to correct the problem. So I possessed a natural affinity for orthopedics because I knew what it was like to be on the other side of the cast.
When I was sixteen, after my second major procedure, a Nurse Ratched type took care of me. She made me cry every single day I was in the hospital. Now that I look back on it, though, she was probably doing what she was supposed to do. But it was the manner in which she did it. She was mean. She made fun of me and called me a baby. Even with that, I still wanted to join the profession, and I swore I would do everything I could to become the antithesis of that nurse.
On my first orthopedic rotation during nursing school, I immediately empathized with the patients. I understood the sheer magnitude of being stuck in that bed. I had experienced some of the mechanics of orthopedics, in terms of traction and weights and how they kept bones in place, and that certainly helped. I definitely knew what it felt like having little plaster crumbs under my butt, and getting a rash that drove me crazy, and how much it meant to have clean sheets. Those small things might sound unimportant, but they're magnified into an incessant form of daily torture when you're a patient.
There weren't too many of us who specialized in orthopedics when I started working. As an orthopedic nurse, I was dedicated to alleviating pain and restoring function due to musculoskeletal injuries or disorders – anything related to a bone or a joint. I have taken care of the full spectrum, from someone with a simple broken finger to someone who was completely paralyzed and on a ventilator for five years. I also treated many people, whom we called multiple-trauma patients, who suffered a combination of fractures, chest injuries, and internal injuries. Usually the other injuries healed faster than the orthopedic ones. After they passed the crisis phase in the ICU, they would come to us. I had patients who rode motorcycles and hit guardrails and left part of their shinbones behind. Their shinbones hit so hard that they just splintered into pieces and we would have to rebuild them. That was a common injury.
Orthopedic practice is very different now. We have procedures and materials we didn't have back then. We can insert artificial bone, or move bone from another part of the patient's body to fill a defect. But back in the seventies and eighties, patients with severe orthopedic injuries stayed in the hospital for months. Then, more often than not, we would see them back many times over the course of several years because of complications from the original injury. In the early days, I got to know my patients pretty well.
Now we have new orthopedic pins and rods that can actually immobilize a fracture so well that patients don't have to stay in a hospital for three or four months. They can go home in three or four days. The titanium rods we put in essentially do the job of the bone until it can heal naturally. Biologically, titanium is an inert compound, so it doesn't cause allergic reactions and isn't perceived by the body as a transplant. But normally these things are ultra-sterile. Unless there's an infection present, patients tolerate them very well. If the titanium doesn't bother a patient, we just leave it in there.
For my entire bedside career, I was fortunate enough to have worked exclusively at level I trauma centers where the sickest of the sick are found. I had exposure, every single day, to the most complex orthopedic injuries. I particularly remember one patient in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1983. He was a twenty-five-year-old African American male who was working under his car when the blocks slipped. The engine shaft fell on his neck and severed his spinal cord at a point just below his brain. Luckily, he was close to a hospital when it happened, so he got immediate care and was placed on a ventilator. Back then, there was absolutely no nursing home or facility in the Commonwealth of Virginia that would take a patient on a ventilator. We couldn't transfer him anywhere, and he remained on my floor for five years.
From day one, we knew his condition was static – that he would always remain the way he was. He was completely paralyzed from the neck down. He couldn't breathe on his own. He couldn't speak. He only had about one square inch of skin on his neck where he could still feel any sensation at all. He was totally dependent, under our care 24/7, and the key factor in nursing him was anticipation. If, for instance, he was sitting in a chair for an hour, he couldn't feel that his butt was getting numb and pressure was building on his skin. We had to anticipate that and change his position. One of the things that we took pride in as nurses was that, for five years, this totally paralyzed man never once suffered from a bedsore.
I had been promoted to clinical head nurse on that ward and I was in charge of orienting all the new nurses. Every spring I would walk into that patient's room and say,
Listen, Phil, I've got five newbies coming this summer. Do you mind if I let them take care of you to learn how a ventilator works? He would just look at me and cluck, and that was his okay. He was so agreeable. I trained a legion of nurses on how to manage a patient like him. I also felt it was important to recognize him as a person who still possessed a measure of autonomy – that there was nothing wrong with his head, and that he could still make decisions.
After five years, he was actually transferred to a state facility in the Virginia Beach area, and he lived another four years there. Unfortunately, he suffered an acute episode of high blood pressure that caused a cerebral hemorrhage and he died. Now I can remember dozens of patients and very specific scenarios at different hospitals. I can even recall specific room numbers for certain patients. But to this day, Phil sticks in my mind as special.
My husband and I were still living in Charlottesville when I had our first child in 1985. I had been an orthopedic nurse for thirteen years at that point, and I loved my work, but I wanted some options in my career. I wanted to be able to walk into a good hospital and say I was qualified for a high-level clinical nursing job, Monday through Friday, with no work on weekends or holidays. So I went back to school. I found that studying independently was ideal for me, and I also discovered that I was good at distance education because I was focused and self-directed. I finished all of the requirements for my bachelor's degree in April of 1988, but I couldn't attend graduation because I had just given birth to our second child.
My husband was a surgeon, and he had received a cardiothoracic surgery fellowship at the University of Michigan. He was scheduled to start that in 1989, and we moved from Charlottesville to Ann Arbor that year. With my new BSN in hand, I really did walk in and say that I wanted a clinical nurse job, Monday through Friday. Well, the Chairman of Orthopedics in Virginia knew the Chairman of Orthopedics in Ann Arbor, and they conspired to help me. I was the first nurse who ever held a jointly funded appointment. I only had to work a Christmas holiday once, and I was on call just one weekend every six months.
When I was Clinical Care Coordinator in Trauma/Orthopedics at the University of Michigan Medical Center, we had a remarkable patient. I ended up publishing an article about him in a nursing journal and identified him by a pseudonym – Mr. Michael. He was sixty-three years old, with a twenty-year history of rheumatoid arthritis, and he was admitted with a debilitating neck deformity and venous stasis ulcers. Over the course of time, his neck had become so deformed that his right ear literally sat on his shoulder. We could lift his head about two inches, but he demonstrated no active cervical motion, and the change had occurred so gradually that his eyes had actually adjusted. If I had put my ear on my right shoulder, I would have been looking sideways. Mr. Michael's eyes had moved so that, even with a cervical spine deformity clinically measuring ninety degrees, he was looking straight at us. That was a little unnerving, to say the least.
He obviously had a lot of problems swallowing, eating, and breathing, so we evaluated him to help straighten out his neck. If we could somehow reposition it and fuse it in that new position, it could heal that way. But straightening it wasn't so simple. What we had to do was put him in traction, with pulleys on his head, and the traction pulled only in one direction. His muscles had gotten used to being in that position. Every couple of days, we would change the traction. We could only move it maybe an inch at a time, because those tight muscles had to adjust to each new position.
My job was to coordinate all the care he got. Every day I would perform a specific assessment to make sure all of the nerves were still functional. If everything was progressing smoothly, I would adjust the traction. If he had a problem, I was the one who called the orthopedist. We had to go gradually, over the course of several weeks, and we had to make sure that his eyes readjusted during that time.
We did a lot of preplanning and we anticipated a diverse range of potential problems. We had multiple medical services evaluate him prior to surgery, because if we didn't have a chance to be successful, then it really would have been a disservice to put Mr. Michael through all of that. The surgery was the very last and essentially the easiest of the entire process, and the surgeon who operated on him was excellent. Mr. Michael stayed in the hospital about ten weeks and was discharged with his neck completely straight and his eyes pointed in the right direction.
That was an important case for me because it was one where all the doctors respected my knowledge and were confident of my abilities to manage a delicate situation. At the time, I was able to function more as a nurse practitioner than as a nurse, and that experience led me to another career change. I just felt that I had gotten to a point where I needed a new challenge.
We moved to Mobile, Alabama, in 1991 when my husband got a faculty position there, and I went to graduate school. I got a master's degree as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in 1993, and then a year after that, I decided I wanted to be a nurse practitioner. I knew I didn't want to do just snotty noses and ear infections, so I went into a post-master's acute care nurse practitioner program. That was a program geared toward nurses working with specialties in a hospital setting. That concept drew on the skill set that I had acquired by working in big hospitals and taking care of really sick patients. I finished in November of 1995 and took the first national certification exam.
In most states, nurse practitioners have to practice in collaboration with physicians. There are some things that we can't do, of course, because we don't have the training. For example, we can't do surgeries. We can certainly recognize major problems that are in need of a higher level of care than we can provide, and that's why most states have laws stipulating that nurse practitioners must enter into a collaborative practice agreement with a physician. We couldn't get hospital privileges to work in a hospital and see patients if we didn't have those agreements.
But I believe that, as a nurse practitioner, I can offer something holistic that many doctors don't provide: I view my patients from a different perspective. I'm able to look at not just the disease but the patient with the disease. I carefully consider patients' responses to therapies that we've ordered. I assess them for changes and decide if I need to alter our orders. I write orders; I don't take orders. That's a big difference. I don't want to generalize but, again, nurses and nurse practitioners tend to look at patients in a different way. It isn't necessarily a good or a bad thing – it's just the nature of our education. Nurses bring something different to the table.
When you've been a nurse at the bedside in major teaching hospitals for as long as I have, you've seen literally thousands of patients over the course of your career. I couldn't help but become emotionally involved with many of them. Actually, if I saw someone who didn't get involved, I wondered about that person as a nurse. And it was inevitable that I carried some of those emotions home with me. That happened a lot when I was young but, as I got older, I was able to put things in a little bit more perspective. I learned, for self-preservation, to compartmentalize: This is happening at work and needs to stay here; now I've left work, and this is what I care about at home. I can't explain, step by step, how you compartmentalize horrible trauma. It's not something that I consciously did. I think it was in part a learned skill, and probably part defense mechanism, but it was a necessary component of the job. Working as a nurse practitioner moved me even a little further from that emotional involvement with my patients, and it was probably my first step toward realizing that I wanted to broaden my ability to help people.
I remember, when I first contemplated becoming a teacher, that I was really concerned about leaving the bedside. One of my mentors said to me,
Well, if you take care of the patient at the bedside, then you can change the life of that one person. But if you teach dozens of nurses to change a life at the bedside, you've increased what you're able to accomplish. And I realized that, even as a nurse practitioner, I found that patients didn't understand what I was talking about much of the time. They suffered from a medical problem and they had come to me to fix that problem, but I seldom had the opportunity to have a complex and stimulating medical discussion with them.
So now I work as a full-time assistant professor of nursing at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, Indiana, and I love it. I teach online, which I think is the funny part of this entire process. I earned my bachelor's degree as a distance education student and all of my teaching is now online. As an educator, I definitely have to be far more global and knowledgeable about a lot of different things. I do miss the hands-on nursing, although I do go around and see patients with my students when they're getting their clinical experiences.
Each aspect of nursing, each separate part of nursing, offers a different kind of satisfaction. I can't make a hierarchy out of them. Being a nurse isn't easy. You sure don't get paid real well. But it is a profession that can allow you to achieve potentials you didn't realize you could reach. I grew up in a very blue-collar family and my parents said that the only way to become a nurse was to go to a hospital to learn. They told me you didn't go to college to become a nurse. That's how I ended up in a three-year diploma program. I went to the school of nursing at Massachusetts General Hospital because that was what was available to me at the time. I was just a kid who went off to a three-year hospital program, but at least that became the springboard for everything else. There are so many more options now. As I tell my students, you're never too old to learn. And you shouldn't believe you're ever too old to achieve what you want, either.
I worked for almost thirty years at the same hospital in Portland, Oregon, and married a fellow respiratory therapist. We had one child and then adopted four, two from Russia and two from Kazakhstan. The kids' needs were many and varied, and going back to school seemed impossible until 2008.
Iwas involved in a situation with a patient who developed malignant ascites, which is a fluid collection in the abdomen. The fluid had shifted out of his intravascular system, caused a collapse, and he had arrested. They had resuscitated him, and then brought him down to our ICU. At the shift change, when I walked in, a resident and an intern were putting in central IV lines – large-bore IV catheters.
You know this patient's pH level was below survivability and you guys did not treat, I said.
We're busy putting in lines here, the resident answered.
Okay, well, I think we need to do an arterial blood gas test, and I think we need to do some more treating.
He looked over and said,
You know you're just the RT, right?
Right. I was only the respiratory therapist. My knee-jerk reaction was to think, Listen, buddy, my level of knowledge about respiratory and blood gases you can't even begin to touch. I knew, of course, that would be the wrong response. But then I thought, I have this knowledge. We can work with it, and we can help this patient. It's not about the lines. It's about the patient. Putting in lines was an important part of what was going on, but it wasn't the whole focus. Getting the homeostasis back was a significant part of it, too.
Within fifteen minutes, we had another code on our hands, and the patient didn't survive. I can't know, given the patient's age and all the other co-morbidities, if he would have survived had they listened to me. But to be told I was only the RT, that I didn't really have solid input there, and to be quiet? That really rubbed me the wrong way, and it was the final straw. I had been practicing respiratory therapy for a long time, and I could do it with my eyes closed and my hands tied behind my back, half asleep, and do it really well, but that didn't seem to matter. At that moment, I knew I needed to go somewhere else.
After thirty years in the health care field, I felt like I had to

To allay the pain of bruises do not use tincture of arnica; but apply the following lotion on a piece of uncovered lint: one part of spirit and one part of solution of acetate of ammonia (B.P.) to eight parts of water. When the pain of a bruise has been allayed, the absorption of the residual swelling and discoloration may be hastened by gentle massage. So much for the surgical requisites.

For Poison
Mix in a tumbler full of warm water one teaspoonful of the flour of mustard; drink while warm: it will make the patient throw off the poison. This is good for the cramp.

Drinks for a Fever
Cold drinks, as a rule, increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stomach, and so create thirst. Experience shows it to be a fact that hot drinks relieve thirst; and cool off the body when it is in an abnormally heated condition, better than ice cold drinks.

About Book
Bitcoin is becoming a household name, but one entangled with confusion and discomfort. This once cute play money was all fun and games, until it made billionaires. The economic climate has changed and the financial institutions and governments that would not bother discussing cryptocurrencies in the past are suddenly finding themselves in unchartered territory. Now forced to decide either to defend the traditional monetary systems vehemently and risk being left behind, or dip their toes in new waters, the traditional system must choose how to respond.
So many discussions of coins focus on other coins dying, their own coins going to the moon or a particular coin affording the coin holder the ability to buy a lamborgini, a question few are asking themselves is, Will this change actually be good for the world? This is an important conversation the world needs to have while it is being reshaped. Cryptocurrencies are here to stay, but while this new economy is still in its infancy and as malleable as soft clay, we need to stop and ask ourselves, Will Bitcoin become evil?
We like to store lots of things because none of us only need one thing to survive. We store gold for bad economies, we stash away a survival pack of chocolate and bottled water for hurricanes, we collect ethers for the super cool future, we accumulate canned foods for the apocalypse and, of course, treasures in Heaven for when all that fails. Storing all the potential necessities you could ever find yourself needing is difficult and burdensome, and so we have cash. Ideally, cash is suppose to replace our need to store a bunch of things. We should be able to buy all necessary goods and services with cash, this way we don't have to store all that other stuff. However, this strategy fails under a few extreme circumstances, so we really need to prepare for such drastic environments.
The problem with cash is not just about the zombie apocalypse scenario, there is another major issue and its not hypothetical, that issue is inflation. Inflation drives the need for a store of value, without inflation cash would be that universal store of value, and it would only fail during that zombie apocalypse. Investing in stocks, paintings, real estate and classic cars is not just about profit, one could argue that its even more about financial loss prevention. People like making money, but they hate losing money a great deal more. The poor and middle class person feel inflation only a little, in fact, if they are in debt they might even benefit from the decrease in difficulty to pay their debt off thanks to inflation making the agreed amount of debt obligation less significant. However, inflation can keep the wealthy up at night, knowing that their store of value shrinks by the day as the presses print. This is the true value of investments, the ability to passively keep making money and thus contend with the inflation rate.
Our government-backed currencies are not suitable for being a store of value because of manipulative inflation. Despite the fact that governments receive taxes for funding operations, they often want even more money than they are getting from the population, so they inflate the currency. This renders the sum of cash you have stashed in your wallet, bank or hidden under the bed less valuable than it was previously back when you earned it. Inflation in this way reduces the accumulated value of your life's labor and undermines your efforts to obtain wealth and preserve security during your old age. Who is fine with that? Even if you believe strongly in having social programs, anyone that has worked hard for a net worth of $1 million would grow angry to realize that its only worth around $3,700, yet that is essentially what happened in Venezuela. The national debt obligations faced by many countries hints at this very event arising where you would assume it could not.
The argument being made by many in the Bitcoin (BTC) community is that a blockchain-based cryptocurrency suits better as a store of value than as a digital cash. However, do we really need a store of value if we had truly good cash? Currently, money is nothing more than an illusion perpetuated by everyone. We pass around printed paper like it has a value, but the reality is that it is backed by nothing at all. In fact, we even know that its an item that is being duplicated rapidly everyday, simply because the governments are not satisfied with the budget they get from taxes. It doesn't end there, our fiat currencies went off the gold standard, but now they are even going off the paper standard. There are far more US dollars as digits on a computer than there are paper dollar bills to back the computer digits. We imagine banks are these places full of money, but the reality is that its just a place with computers that claim they have a lot of money, and have at least 10% of the cash they claim to have. And when we want to spend some of this imaginary cash, we promise years of labor to these banks so that they will transfer digits representing pretend value from one account to another so that we can continue the mutual delusion with some other people. Meanwhile we promise to owe the bank many hours of our life for all this pretend value. I'm sure it is apparent to you how much we need a much better cash.
This is the point of cryptocurrencies, its a better cash. Or, is it? There's a problem, some don't think cryptocurrencies make very good cash. This is what the war between Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is about, at least partially. Many in the BTC community have given up on the idea of global cash on the blockchain because of what must be sacrificed in order to do it. The blockchain has to scale to perform many transactions per second, but in order to do that it makes verification of those transactions cost-prohibitive for most people. In the eyes of many in the BTC community, this results in potential loss of decentralization for the blockchain, which would defeat the purpose of having a cryptocurrency on a blockchain. This is a valid concern, and it is because of this concern that the BTC community has left the idea of being world money and pushes the store of value proposition.
Bitcoin BCH makes a different case for their position and it too is not without its merit. The Bitcoin Cash side of the argument is that the true and only value that the cryptocurrency serves is as money for the whole world, and this can only be achieved with high transactions per second rates and low transaction fees. In order to obtain this, they have to employ a big block strategy. The reason the BCH community views their blockchain as the true Bitcoin is because the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, fully intended Bitcoin to scale with global adoption by raising the block size. But would this destroy decentralization of the blockchain and thus defeat the point? Not necessarily, while a big block strategy causes the cost of verifying the blockchain by running a full node more and more expensive, it does not absolutely mean that the blockchain has become compromised. A blockchain does not necessarily need to have everyone run a full node, but enough people, companies or organizations globally need to run a full node in order for the average user to trust that their transaction effectively went through. In the scenario where Bitcoin Cash becomes the universal circulating currency, you would likely see many companies popping up offering full node services, which would allow you to pay a small service fee to receive verification reports about the blockchain. If enough businesses provide this service, it would be reasonable for the average user to trust that the blockchain is sufficiently decentralized.
So, what should we think on this subject? First, we need to break down exactly why Bitcoin is valuable. If it is a good store of value, what makes it a good store of value? In order to figure out if it is a good store of value we need to compare it against the historical king of store of value: Gold. Gold is a very good store of value, this we know. But how do we know this? Gold is good as a store of value because it can be minted into fungible pieces of similar dimension and weight as other gold and traded among people. But it is also a good store of value because it does not perish and there are many uses for it. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is useless. You can't make anything with a bitcoin in the real world, its not particularly pretty, it is ridiculously easy to lose and people have experienced that loss.
Then what is the value add of Bitcoin? We know its valuable, because if it wasn't nobody would be talking about it and writing books about it and bankers would not be running scared. So where's the beef? Bitcoin is not good at doing what what gold does, its good at doing something gold does very poorly. Before I tell you what that is I want you to take a moment and ask yourself, Why does anyone value the US dollar? It might seem complex but its actually really simple. The US dollar is not heavy, its lightweight and easily folded into small spaces like a wallet. Paper cash serves a purpose of being more conveniently transported and traded around than heavy, clunky, hard to divide gold. But paper money was still not perfect, distance could prove to be a problem. That's where bank accounts and credit cards came in and worked great. Its in this domain that cryptocurrencies can flourish.
Bitcoin does four things, and it does those four things very well. The first is teleportation, seriously, bitcoins can go from China to Venezuela in minutes. On the Steem platform it only takes 3 seconds for any amount of its native coin to travel across the world. The second is verification, by running a full node you can verify that the transaction happened, because its an unforgetting database and you own a copy of the entire database in real-time. The third is hack-proofing, blockchains are digital fortresses, although banks give us this sense of being safe and capable of protecting our money, they are actually quite bad at it. Hackers take off with money all the time, banks don't even spend all that much on preventing it, but blockchain on the other hand makes this quite a bit harder for hackers. A blockchain is anti-fragile, and if someone finds a weakness, it won't have that weakness in the future. The biggest security risk is you, so don't be lazy and messy about your passwords. The fourth is personal sovereignty, you don't have to trust someone, you don't need permission to move your money or transfer it from one place to another. It belongs to you, and as long as you don't let your child color all over your printed out password (some people have…) you should be good to go. This fourth part is a huge value add for a store of value, because countries go crazy and sometimes you need to leave. Gold is harder to take with you and hide than a paper password hidden in your gym shorts or a cleverly planned out tattoo in a private place.
Bitcoin is not actually good gold, its very different from gold and its strengths are the exact opposite of gold. Gold is as real as a thing can get, but due to its realness, its also a real pain to relocate or trade. So people create paper notes for it, but this in many ways defeats the whole point of gold. Bitcoin is not a note or an IOU, its the item exactly, and once transferred that's that. Its strengths are the same strengths as the US dollar, which is convenience for international trading. The US dollar right now is the most reliable and effective currency for global exchange, and cryptocurrency is ultimately out to take its job and do it better.
What is a Book ICO?
Book ICO is the next generation way to kick-start books — authors publish their way.
ICO's took 2017 by storm. Publica Book ICO's are the next generation crowdfunder-plus-presale for ebooks where authors are free to publish their way.
Authors — You set your own prices for during and after your Book ICO. When your book is a recognized token on a blockchain you're selling book tokens directly to your followers who support you and look forward to the promised release.
Presale funds can improve the quality of independently published books. Or publicize great books that might never find their true audience without it.Your book tokens work anywhere in the world on any iOS or Android device.
Readers — When you buy a book token, that's your private access key to read the book in your Publica reader app available now for iOS and Android phones and tablets. Many Chromebooks too.
You can also send book tokens to other people, unlike any conventional ebook. So buy as many book tokens as you want!
You can also sell recognized book tokens on a secondary token exchange so depending on the total circulation of a book's tokens, tokens in your wallet may grow in value if the book becomes collectable.
What are you waiting for? Oh, the countdown clock...
To participate in a Book ICO you'll need to create a wallet and buy PBL, which is the currency used on Publica's platform, as well as ETH tokens to pay the transaction fee.
When the Book ICO campaign is running and you have your PBL tokens, click the "Buy BOOK token" button and follow this tutorial.
You will receive a BOOK token (or several tokens) that are your access keys to the book's contents and you'll be able to read the book on your Android or iOs device, and send the book to your friends, or even sell a book on a secondary market.
You can create your own wallet in the Publica app (follow these instructions). Or you can use any other ERC20 compatible wallet (we recommend MyEtherWallet). Or you can import an existing cryptocurrency wallet.
To participate in a Book ICO you will need to buy PBL tokens (we also refer to them as Pebbles). You can buy Pebbles on several cryptocurrency exchanges such as Kucoin, Cryptopia and IDEX exchanges. See detailed instructions on how to buy PBL tokens.
Simply install Publica's e-reader app on any Android or iOS device. Publica's e-reader app is also a cryptocurrency wallet and your Publica e-library.
Watch this tutorial on how to install the app and read a book.
You can download and install the e-reader app for your Android or iOs device.
A BOOK token is an Ethereum ERC20 token that represents access to a specific book. A BOOK token is therefore a unique access key. You can buy several BOOK tokens (book copies) and give away or sell your books whenever you wish.
PBL tokens are the Publica platform's internal currency. Readers use PBL tokens to participate in Book ICOs on the Publica platform, or to purchase any book listed in the Publica store.
Authors receive their revenue in PBL tokens so they have full control over their finances.
By using cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology we can now introduce immediate and direct transactions between authors and readers, bring trust and transparency into the ecosystem as well as give authors tools to set up their own business models by using smart-contracts. This allows authors to sell directly to their readers at an unprecedented and scalable level.
With no middleman, authors are in full control of their author business. Blockchain empowers authors by placing them at the heart of the financial model.

National ARDS Registry
ARDS remains one of the most common and lethal forms of respiratory failure in critically ill patients. Improvements in understanding the pathogenesis has not led to effective treatments, and heterogeneity of the condition precludes major advances. A national registry would serve to improve understanding of epidemiology, disease characterization (for definitions) and can identify incidence, outcome, disparities, treatment strategies (identifying variations and optimal), biomarkers to understand pathophysiology/pathobiology, economics, and long-term outcomes.

More arborcide?
Dear Editor,The tree lopper has struck again … this time cutting out two city-owned trees' root systems. The location … in the right of way on the corner of Galena and Main across from the historic courthouse. It's still summer yet the leaves are turning yellow and falling from two of Main Street's largest and most majestic cottonwoods. I brought it to City Council's attention during the last regular City Council meeting. Only Torre and J.E. DeVilbiss were willing to hold a public hearing on the matter. Rachel Richards, Mayor Klanderud and Jack Johnson did not want to hear any more on the matter and voted to "let the city" deal with it.Check it out for yourself. The limbs on one of the two "historically protected" Main Street trees were cut to make way for a temporary pedestrian walkway, and both trees' roots were cut out to make way for a building, which, incidentally, city of Aspen voters overturned by referendum in November 2004. The roots of the two dying trees were intertwined in the root system of the three Australian pine trees which the developer was required by ordinance approving the project to relocate or remove. Instead, the developer gave cash to the city, who then issued a permit to grind those trees into sawdust.When I questioned how the city could go against its own policies to allow those trees to be ground into sawdust and not removed or relocated as required by ordinance, Councilman Jack Johnson's reply was, "Toni, we did remove those trees … right into the Dumpster!" What's up with that?Toni KronbergAspen

Residents able to thwart plan to develop home in Oklahoma Flats
It's hard to fight City Hall and even harder to fight well-funded neighbors who don't want any development near them, a local man has realized. So he settled for less than what he and his partner bought the property for.

The reason why this came up now is that a week ago we ran into his ex's best friend at the opera. He was mad at me at the time over something else and introduced me as his friend. He said he did it because he was angry, but I can't help thinking he did it so that his ex's best friend won't tell her he has a new girlfriend.

Cathe has come out with some really awesome live workouts recently so I thought it was time for another Cathe Live workout rotation. This rotation is made up of primarily Cathe's newer live workouts (newer than the workouts in my previous Cathe Live rotations, that is) but there are also some workouts that appeared in … Continue reading Cathe Live Rotation #3
Tag: Cathe Live
Cathe Live: Legs w/ Weights & Barre
Legs w/ Weights & Barre is a Live workout I somehow missed. Not sure how--but thanks to a Cathe forum friend, I did not overlook it! This a great metabolic lower body workout. It is deceiving, too. I created my workout card in advance and was surprised that Cathe used 10 pound dumbbells for everything. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Legs w/ Weights & Barre
Cathe Live: Warrior Kickboxing
What an excellent kickboxing workout! Cathe has a lot of Live cardio kickboxing workouts and they are all good--but this one might be the best she has done live. It is set up in her normal cardio kickboxing fashion: kickboxing combos and drills alternated with cardio blasts. However, what is different from most of Cathe's … Continue reading Cathe Live: Warrior Kickboxing
Cathe Live: Quick Fix Cardio
Quick Fix Cardio is a short but intense little cardio workout from Cathe Live. I really enjoyed this workout. She starts out fast, too. There is no pause between the end of the warm up and your first exercise--snowboarders. And since you do 4 sets of snowboarders, she immediately burned my legs out. So I … Continue reading Cathe Live: Quick Fix Cardio
Cathe Live: Cardio Core Blast
Cardio Core Blast is another excellent cardio workout in the tradition of Cathe's DVD Cardio Core Circuit (the other Live workout based on CCC is also called Cardio Core Circuit). Though set up in the same manner as the other two, it is different from both and I really enjoyed it. In fact, I love how Cathe … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Core Blast
Cathe Live: Fit Body Boot Camp
This week has been (and still is through the end of the week) Cathe Live catch up for me--and there have been a lot of bootcamp workouts! But that's okay because I love bootcamp workouts. Especially Cathe's. This one is a cardio + strength bootcamp workout. It is set up in 8 rounds. Each round … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Body Boot Camp
Cathe Live: Lower Body Bootcamp
Wow--this was an excellent, fast paced lower body workout. Very metabolic. It's counter-part is Live Upper Body Bootcamp. Both workouts are made up of strength circuits that end with a core move. And they work very well together. Do them on consecutive days and you will work every muscle in your body. Lower Body Bootcamp … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lower Body Bootcamp
Cathe Live: Upper Body Boot Camp
I was excited to try Cathe's two newest Live bootcamp workouts--this one, Upper Body Bootcamp, and Lower Body Bootcamp, which I will be doing tomorrow. From the previews, they look pretty comprehensive. Having done Upper Body I can say it is a very fast-paced workout, so you are getting your heart rate up while doing it. Not … Continue reading Cathe Live: Upper Body Boot Camp
Cathe Live: Love Those Legs
I've been so focused on Cathe's Workout Blender that I've been neglecting Cathe Live, but I decided this week, I would play catch-up with Cathe's newest Live workouts. This morning I started with Love Those Legs. It is a short but great little workout. I like this workout for several reasons. First, it is a very good … Continue reading Cathe Live: Love Those Legs
Cathe Live: Upper Body w/ Core Express
Upper Body w/ Core Express was a surprisingly intense upper body workout for being so short. With the proper weights, it worked my entire upper body very well. The core work is also pretty intense. Overall, an excellent live workout that did the job the title advertised and did it very well. This is one … Continue reading Cathe Live: Upper Body w/ Core Express

Drought Relief Support
With the ongoing drought throughout Australia, our farmers are doing it tough. Freshwater Church has started Freshwater Care which will be taking donated goods to support the families of our farmers. We as a College are doing our bit in support as well.
Our Secondary teacher, Mr Woolfield, has offered to have his beard shaved off if we raise over $2000, and while it is a fine beard indeed, it's time for it to go! Who knows what Mr Woolfield might look like under that beard? All families in the College can donate money to support our farmers (and see the beard go!) via either the Primary Office, Secondary Office or Form Class teachers.
