Hot Off The Presses
Hey everybody! It's me again! Thanks again to Anonymous for the two-part guest post.
It's a big week for a couple of the pies in which I have stuck my thumb and I'm here for the edumacation.
Offsprung v2.0 has launched and the site is bigger and better than ever! Here's the announcement of some of the new features, including Reproduciness, which will feature original parent-themed humor, like comics and videos; a new blog from Dr. Rob, Offspurng's own pediatrician and an expanded Playground, with complete profiles and the ability to upload pictures in a "family album."
And I am still pounding out AJ Tales at Don't Forget to Flush.
I implore you to check out the changes, tell your friends, design homemade t-shirts, pimp on your blogs and, if you like what you read, please Digg your favorites.
That goes for this, too. The NFL starts THIS SUNDAY. Football. Gridiron. Pigskin. I'm going to be sitting on my couch all day (hello NFL Sunday Ticket!) monitoring my parlays, eating wings and shouting at the television.
I'll also be refreshing Fantasy Sports Live every couple of seconds. If you're like me, being able to play single-day fantasy football contests is a godsend. My full-season team sucks (as always) and I'll lose interest by Week 8. I'm bad at it and can't be bothered to read newspapers every day. So you might want to enter an FSL contest with me in it (unlike baseball where I pwn each and every one of you). Just sayin'.
In addition, Blinders has set up an extra challenge for Bloggers. The info:
Announcing the first annual Blogger Fantasy Football Battle (BFFB) sponsored
by FantasySportsLive.com!
The BFFB will bring together poker bloggers from around the country to compete in MTT style Fantasy Football contests that will run each week of the football season. $500 minimum will be added to the prize pool by FSL.
Each week starting September 9th, FSL will run 10-player $10 fee contests with BFFB in the title. Each contest will pay out $90 to the top three finishers that week. The results of all bloggers will be pooled together each week to determine the weekly BFFB results. Points will be awarded to the top 50% of finishers each week based on the PokerStars TLB formula. Points will be accumulated throughout the season to determine the overall champion. Added prizes by FSL are listed below. Also, any weekly overall winners will be invited to a Tournament of Champions at the end of the season.
1st Place Overall $100
2nd Place Overall $50
3rd Place Overall $25
1st Highest Individual Weekly Fantasy Score $100
2nd Highest Individual Weekly Fantasy Score $50
3rd Highest Individual Weekly Fantasy Score $25
Tournament of Champions
$150 minimum added to prize pool.
Results will be posted weekly on Blinders's site and more info can be found here. You can chose to compete weekly for your best chance at the season title, or just enter as many as you can. Even with a single weekly entry you are eligible for the highest score prize or with a win an entry in the tournament of champions. What we are doing with the BFFB has never been done before, and would not be possible without the daily contest format that we use. This format allows us to apples to apples compare 100s of fantasy football entries, which is impossible with standard fantasy offerings. Please help us make the BFFB a success, and spread the word about FSL.
Bonus money. Bonus bragging rights. Bonus opportunities to make fun of other bloggers.
And, as always, Bonus Code: Speaker gets you even more free cash to play with. Hope to see those BFFB slots filled up with y'all this Sunday. Maybe I'll shout at you in addition to my television.

No Prints Yet
Be the first to upload a Print for this Design!
Summary Update: 5-29: My prototype prints have come in, and I've noticed a couple of critical design flaws (mostly due to my inexperience with cad, and knowledge of 3d printing. As a result, I'm being forced to change the way the case holds itself together. In an effort to NOT be forced to glue together the case, I'm working out a couple of ideas to secure the case parts together, while still allowing the case to be taken apart when needed or desired. New models will be uploaded in the next couple days. This is the case I've been toiling over after the DeluxePi case. This is the most very basic version of the case I'm working on. Other versions of this case are almost complete, and will be uploaded VERY SOON!

Js13kGames 2018 judging and the feedback issues
After a month of game development, and three weeks of judging, the js13kGames 2018 competition winners were announced - you can jump straight to the results at js13kgames.com/#winners.
This year the competition broke all the records AGAIN with 274 games. Both the quantity and the quality went through the roof - some cool games I really enjoyed playing ended up around 150th place. Half of the ones from places 41–50 would easily win the competition two or three years ago. There were minimal differences between top10 and top50 games, or top50 and top150. It's insane what you can create in 13 kilobytes nowadays.
One thing that didn't work as expected this year was the fact that people assumed every entry will get feedback from the judges. It was the number one requested feature which was introduced two years ago - worked with 120 entries, but not 270. Remember that judges are doing this voluntarily in their free time. Playing all the games to give them scores was extremely time-consuming, let alone writing something meaningful for dozens of entries.
Imagine a judge could spend 30 minutes on an entry to play it properly, and write down what was good and what could be improved. This would mean 8220 minutes, or 137 hours, or about 18 working days for 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. It means a judge would spend A WHOLE MONTH, ONLY on playing, voting and giving feedback for the games, without any breaks for lunch. To be fair I should pay them a few thousand dollars for this hard work, while all they get is a free t-shirt.
Constructive feedback for 270 games is physically impossible. I know how much you value it, and how daunting it might feel if you didn't get any, but most of the jams I participated in didn't even have such a thing. It was suppose to be a nice addition, not something you expect to have. If we won't find a solid solution, then the feedback feature will be removed entirely.
Have YOU played ALL the games from the competition for the Community Awards? In a week?
That's why I wanted to thank all the judges for their help this year, and let you know we'll need big changes to the voting process to keep the competition going. The original approach worked at the beginning, but it have to evolve to adapt to the growing number of games.
I have some ideas already, but if you want to help (both brainstorming the ideas, but also building the solution afterwards), then please get in touch - via email, private message, on Slack, or however you feel most comfortable with. After all, this competition is for you, so it would be great to make it grow together. There are interesting ideas in the Slack channel already, so let's keep the momentum going.
Ps. Thank you goes also to Csaba Csecskedi for singlehandedly managing the Server category (if you submitted a Server entry you should thank him personally) over the years, to the reviewers (Piotr Bogdan, Rémi Vansteelandt, Andrew Smith, Keith Karnage and Matt Rose) who helped validate and accept the entries this year, and to the lovely Slack community being super helpful to each other, especially newcomers. And to all of you who participated, spent countless hours building your games, and submitted a whole bunch of awesome creations. You already won the valuable experience of finishing a game!
Ps.2. As soon as I finish printing t-shirts and CDs, and shipping everything to you, I'll probably (re)start the idea of a brand new site to automate as many things as possible including accepting entries, allowing bugfixes, etc. This may, or may not mean starting the Patreon page to help fund my time.
Hope to see you next year!

1. Mohair. Aunt G.'s blue mohair sweater.
Still on sleeve #1. Don't ask.
I will say this though, mohair is really lovely, light and very warm. We used to have a mohair throw when I was a kid, and being a kid I didn't quite get how great it was. As I'm knitting this sweater, I keep thinking that a mohair afghan would be just lovely, and perfect for snuggling under when it's cold.
2. Fairly Easy Fair isle
Made some progress, but see the name of this sweater? I should be done now. What's my problem?
3. Socks for C#1
Nearly done with sock #1, simple toe up 2x2 rib. They look too big, but that's okay, I know his feet will catch up.
4. Socks for D.
Sock #1 done. He's an ingrate, he can wait.
5. I'm sure there's more, but by the look of things, don't you think I should just go get something done already?
Help, I have inertia and I can't get up!

Here are some of our favorite board books.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is so popular now I almost didn't mention it, but it is a favorite. It is unabridged from the original picture book, including the truncated pages and holes! Bright, fun, holes in the pages, actually a story, all-around good. It also has counting, days of the week, and lifecycle of the butterfly, but that's all rather beyond the board-book aged child.
Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What do you See? (Martin/Carle) is another unabridged classic in board book form. The cadence of the text is perfect for reading out loud, and most pages picture one brightly illustrated animal. (The "prairie dog" still kinda creeps me out, though.)
Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes (Mem Fox) is an oversized board book about babies all over the world, who all have "ten little fingers and ten little toes." The illustrations are delightfully sweet.
Byron Barton's Boats and Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs have bright, simple, appealing pictures with some minimal text/story. I'm not familiar with his other books.
Say & Play's First Words and Oink, Moo, Meow feature a single cut-out photograph image per page. I like these two better than some of their other books. First Words features individual pictures with a single word on each page ("Cat" "Baby" etc.). It's fun to show baby an actual rubber duck next to the rubber duck picture in the book, particularly when they near one year old. Oink, Moo, Meow has an animal and text of what the animal says ("The cat says Meow" — the same cat as from the other book). At some point babies enjoy hearing the animal sounds, and this book has a LOT of animals.
Indestructibles are not actually board books, but rather pamphlet-style books made out of a very resilient paper-like material which is, in fact, indestructible to a baby. You can let baby handle these independently long before traditional board books. They do wrinkle immediately. We like Plip Plop Pond and Mama and Baby. Note: neither has any words, which doesn't bother me, and the pictures seem oversaturated, but it is such a unique item I give them a pass.

I'm sure there are 100 similar recipes for homemade play dough out there. This is the one I use. It is simple, quick, cheap, and non-toxic.
Homemade Play Dough Recipe:
Mix ingredients in a big pot. Stir over medium heat until it thickens and then comes together in a big ball. Dump on counter and knead a bit until smooth.
Ideally your end user would observe or assist with the process as he is able.
Today's play dough (pictured) had 20 drops green and 10 drops yellow food coloring. Cooking time was less than 10 minutes and I barely had to knead it.

Applying the Seahorse Principle to making a toy seahorse!
James has enjoyed sewing with me (mostly watching). After we made a turtle for Baby Luke, James continued to request that we work on the turtle. I reminded him that we had already finished the turtle and suggested we start a new project. Here it is! I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, especially since it was a bit quick-and-dirty so as not to lose the toddler along the way.
I sketched out the original pattern pieces on scrap paper. Just for you, I will scan in those pieces and clean them up in case you'd like to make your own. It seems only fitting that we should have our own little mascot here on The Seahorse Principle.
Tip: if you want to make other creatures using a similar technique, apply the Seahorse Principle and make animals that will look good flat! A four-legged animal made in this way would be a stylized silhouette, which is fine if that's what you're going for but it would be a different look. Fish would work great using this method; in fact that is next on my list if James gets the urge to sew again.
General procedure:
All seam allowances are 1/4″. I used scraps of quilting cotton in two patterns and a bit of embroidery floss.
Cut a pair of main body pieces. Embroider or otherwise make eyes on each. Stitch just the front edge of the seahorse including the whole tummy part of the seam, from the "neck" to the beginning of the tail. Trim curve with pinking shears.
Cut two pairs of pouch pieces (optional!). Sew each pair, right sides facing, along the long curved edge. Trim seams with pinking shears to reduce bulk. Open them up–now you have a lining and an outside. Stack right sides together, seams aligned (no longer flat; one will be cupped inside the other). Stitch all the way around, leaving a small opening for turning along one of the long edges. Clip corners, turn, (finger-) press (tucking the raw edges in line with the seam at the turning opening). Align the the pouch with the curve of the tummy on the main body of the seahorse. Stitch the pouch to the body from the corner, down the long edge, and up the other side (this will close the turning opening). Don't forget to reinforce the corners with backstitching. The top of the pouch remains open.
Cut a pair of fins. Sew together on three curvy sides, right sides facing. Trim with pinking shears, turn right side out, and press flat (finger pressing is fine). Stitch radially in & out on the fin to make it flat and give it some detail; use a color that blends or contrasts as you wish.
Turn the body inside-out again. Pin the fin sandwiched between the body pieces in the middle of the back. (The raw edge of the fin and the body align, with the finished fin tucked inside). Stitch from the neck, up around the head, and down just past the fin. Pink/clip corners & curves (especially under the chin). Turn. Carefully stuff tiny bits of stuffing tightly in to each bit of the head and then the body. Stuff firmly for best results. Flip the tail so that right sides are together again, and stitch from the bottom of the tummy, around the tail, and back up toward the fin, leaving an opening for turning. Pink/clip corners & curves. Turn the tail all the way out to the end. Stuff firmly with very tiny bits of stuffing all the way into the tail. Stuff remaining gap and hand-stitch the opening closed. Done!
The pattern pieces:
Please let me know if you make one, and share a picture if you'd like!

The Alexanders – "Loving You"
The Alexanders, a.k.a Yuksek and Alex Metric, are back at it with a brand spanking new jam! The Partyfine family dropped a stellar compilation "Partyfine Vol. 2" back in June which featured "Loving You" from The Alexanders. The power duo delivers another romp shaking track with sweeping synths, grungy bassline, minimal vocal samples and heartbeat racing bass thump. It has all the makings of a dance floor anthem. Drop it during peak hour and watch the crowd go nuts! It's infectious and energetic with super clean production. We love every second of this track.

Volume title:
Accurate and reliable information on cause-of-death (CoD) information is vital for improving the quality of care and for policy-making.The Medical Certification of Cause-of-Death (MCCD) is the national health information system for reporting and studying deaths certified by physicians in India.
The aim of our study was to assess the completeness and accuracy of reporting of the medical certification of cause-of-death (MCCD) system in a tertiary-care hospital in southern India
Settings and Design: We employed a cross-sectional epidemiological study design in a tertiary-care teaching hospital in Bangalore city, southern India.
Methods and Material:
Data was abstracted on an online database on a server using a combination of a mobilephone-based questionnaire by a research assistant followed by online review by two physicians. Two hundred and forty five death certificates completed during a 4-month period in 2011 were reviewed.
Statistical analysis used: Simple descriptive statistics
An appropriate death certificate was used in all cases; and completeness of relevant information on the deceased, hospital details, the certifying physician and on manner of death was seen in 98%. Accuracy of certification was however suboptimal. A major error was noted in about 80% of certificates; and a minor error in nearly 95% of certificates. The commonest major error (71%) was incorrect sequencing of events leading to death. Overall proportion of error-free death certificates was only 5%.
There is considerable scope for improvement in the quality of death certification in hospitals through appropriate and timely training of certifying physicians.
Key-words:cause of death, death certificate, quality control, India
Key Messages:
- Completeness of death certificates by physicians was high (>95%)
- Accuracy of death certification was suboptimal with 80% of death certificates having at least one major error and proportion of error-free certificates being <5%
- Appropriate training of certifying physicians is critical to improving quality of death certification

Delivering Memories (and lots of adorable babies)
By Bridget O'Gara
Photos by Danny Turner
he team at the Family Birthing Center at Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC), Prescott Valley, is fond of saying they deliver memories.
Prescott Valley residents Jocelyn and Brian Bucholtz agree. They've stored up happy memories from their two experiences at the Family Birthing Center: the birth of daughter, Brooklyn, who is now five years old, and the birth of their son, Cooper, who is now two.
"We especially remember our nurse Loleita," said Jocelyn. "She was just so happy. She was very engaged in talking directly to Cooper, even though he was a little newborn. He was crying and she would comfort him and say, 'It's not so bad.'"
In fact, it was "awesome," according to Jocelyn and Brian.
An Awesome Experience
The couple's experience with YRMC's Family Birthing Center began long before Brooklyn or Cooper took their first breaths, or produced their first, boisterous cries. After research and conversations with friends, Jocelyn and Brian selected YRMC's Family Birthing Center and Women's Medical Care, PC, as their providers.
Adam Feingold, MD, FACOG, of Women's Medical Care, was Jocelyn's obstetrician. With offices in Prescott and Prescott Valley, the Women's Medical Care team also includes Luis Fernandez, MD, FACOG – who delivered both Brooklyn and Cooper – and Mary Hogan, MD, FACOG.
"We instantly liked Dr. Feingold and his calm demeanor. He always took time with us during prenatal appointments," Jocelyn said. "The staff was accommodating and kind. We were on a first-name basis with everyone."
Added Brian, "And we were both confident in Dr. Fernandez. He was supportive, professional and personable during both deliveries."
Building a Birth Plan
The couple also tapped many of the resources available at the Family Birthing Center. They attended Family Birth Classes together and Jocelyn joined a breastfeeding class led by YRMC's lactation consultant.
"Our Family Birth Classes empower women by providing information," said Lynn Daugherty, RN, Nursing Director of the Family Birthing Center. "Moms learn that they have control over the birth experience, which allows each woman to define her own birth experience."
A woman's birth plan typically evolves during pregnancy. Most include, for example, who will be in the room during delivery and how the woman intends to manage pain. While prenatal visits include important health checks for mom and baby, Dr. Fernandez also makes sure there's time to discuss birth plans, ask questions, and even express fears.
"First time moms are almost always accompanied by one, two or three people during prenatal visits," Dr. Fernandez said. "This is great because they will have questions as well. This is one of my favorite things about what I do—meeting families, getting to know children, husbands, partners, and parents."
That same support group is welcome at YRMC's Family Birthing Center during labor and delivery.
"Moms need support," said Daugherty, "and each mom gets to decide who that support needs to be for her. It can be a significant other, husband, partner, coach, all of the above or other special people selected by mom."
Ready for the Unexpected
It's this open and caring attitude – coupled with experienced nurses, excellent physicians and exceptional healthcare services – that distinguishes YRMC's Family Birthing Center.
"The Family Birthing Center has what's called a 'laborist' program," Dr. Fernandez said. "There's a physician at the Family Birthing Center around-the-clock. It's the standard-of-care across the country, but our program is unique because our laborists are also community obstetricians. I think this is a great benefit to our community."
Another benefit is the Family Birthing Center's Level II Continuing Care Nursery. The Center's perinatal services – care provided to moms and babies – is licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services and certified through the Arizona Perinatal Trust. This allows the Family Birthing Center to care for high-risk moms and their babies at 32 weeks and greater.
"We're absolutely determined that every woman should have control over her birth experience," said Dr. Fernandez. "But, if there is an unexpected complication and time is of the essence we are ready to provide the high-level care baby and mom need without being transported."
Jocelyn and Brian were relieved their children arrived without any complications.
"I feel privileged that the Family Birthing Center is right here in our community and our babies were delivered there," Jocelyn said.
Another beautiful memory to cherish, thanks to the Family Birthing Center at YRMC.

John 4:27-38
And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?"
The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?"
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."
"My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work." Later, on the cross he said, "It is finished." He was promised, he came, he told of the way to God for us all, he paid for our sins by giving his life, he rose again to conquer death for us and he sent the Holy Spirit to help us all on our life's walk here. God's gift to mankind went beyond creation to redemption and on to keep us in a relationship with him to eternal life with him, not apart from him.
And now we share, sow, and continue to reap the harvest. Of all the ones who could have spread God's Word to this town, it was a woman of ill-repute who went into town to bring others to Christ. The amazing part of that is they listened to her and responded. Another example of one despised bringing salvation to others – God's ways are not our ways, for sure!!

Dr. George Rosenkranz —a world-renowned scientist who devoted his life to improving global health and established a prize to foster innovative research among emerging Stanford scholars — leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of science and humanitarianism.
Rosenkranz was 102 when he died Sunday after a prolific scientific career, one that would forever change the course of women's reproductive lives.
A Hungarian Jew who fled the Nazis during World War II and eventually emigrated to Mexico, Rosenkranz was one of three scientists who pioneered the chemical compounds that led to the birth control pill. He was also instrumental in developing medicines to fight venereal diseases.
His family established The Dr. George Rosenkranz Prize in 2010 at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies; the prize is administered by Stanford Health Policy. The $100,000 award goes to researchers working to improve health care in the developing world.
The beloved figure often made it to the campus symposiums that honored the prize winners.
The first Rosenkranz Prize was awarded in 2010 to SHP's Eran Bendavid, an infectious disease physician and associate professor of medicine. He used his award to study whether U.S. money spent on malaria and HIV programs in sub-Saharan Africa translated into better health outcomes for women and their children.
"George has galvanized a community of global health researchers at Stanford," said Bendavid. "We now have a community of scholars whose focus on critical issues in other countries has been powerfully enabled by George's legacy. He and his family have been an inspiration for us and, by extension, our students. The spirit of promoting promising young researchers is something we all benefit from. His is a wonderful name and a legacy to be attached to."
Other Rosenkranz Prize winners honor his legacy with remembrances:
"There are very few people who have changed the world as much as Dr. Rosenkranz; his work in synthesizing and bringing oral contraception to market changed how people form families, and empowered women around the world." — Mike Baiocchi, a Stanford statistician and the 2017 winner.
"The Rosenkranz Prize helped our young lab take risks where we might not have been able to; risks that have paid off intellectually," said Baiocchi, whose team is conducting the largest-ever randomized trial to measure the impact of No Means No Worldwide project, which is training 300,000 boys and girls in Kenya and Malawi to prevent rape and teen pregnancy.
"The prize money allowed us to bring two of our statistics PhD students to Kenya to visit the communities they have been working with, to present their work to the stakeholders. This has built a passion for in these students, who have each launched their own Kenya-based study to examine means for reducing gender-based violence."
"Dr. Rosenkranz's professional and personal legacy are closely intertwined. By his example, I and many other Rosenkranz scholars have been enabled to marry what sometimes feel like dueling passions: social justice and rigorous scholarship. I feel so fortunate to have met Dr. Rosenkranz and hope that many others will continue to be inspired by his message of equity, global fellowship, and excellence." — Ami Bhatt, the 2016 winner who is building the first multi-country microbiome research project focused on noncommunicable disease risk in Africa.
"As a Mexican awardee of the Rosenkranz prize it is a privilege to be part of the legacy of one of the most prominent Mexican scientists, whose generous support was a vital seed to create my research laboratory on Human Genomics in Mexico." — Andrés Moreno Estrada, the 2012 winner who is analyzing the DNA of indigenous groups in Latin American, one of the most underrepresented populations in the field of genetics.
"The prize was a huge boost to my career as an early stage researcher. It allowed me to do work in India on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at a time when the topic was not a high priority for global funding agencies. The project led to a series of a collaborations with a large public hospital in India. There were several publications as a result of this partnership, and the studies we performed were innovative and informative on the prevalence on AMR in community-dwelling individuals." — Marcella Alsan, one of two 2015 prize winners.

Making A Change With Blockchain: Revolutionizing The Advertising and Publishing Industry
130 comments
24 hours ago, I witnessed one of the most fascinating crowd funds in my life. Brave's Basic Attention Token (BAT) ICO raised over $35million in just a few seconds! Amazing right? We are surely onto an astonishing time in the history of the financial sector.
Something More Fascinating
For many who follow my blog, you would observe that I write mostly on tech areas and their impact on human lives. From Biotech, Foodtech, 5G, Nanotech, Greentech and artificial intelligence, my articles delve into the fascinating ways technology has been touching various aspects of our lives.
For a couple of months now, I've been investing in a lot of cryptocurrencies (Who hasn't been doing that these days? Lol :) ). Initially, it was just for the thrill of predicting cycles rightly but over time, I started spending more time researching various tokens use cases.
So for the next couple of articles, just like I did for AI, I will be doing a series of how the blockchain is transforming different sectors of the economy.
Creating A Better Deal For Content Creators – Revolutionizing The Advertising and Publishing Industry With The Blockchain
10 months ago, I wrote this article, The Truth is in danger! The Death of Investigative Journalism and What We Can Do About It. {Making Steemit A Journalism Hub}. In it, I looked at the current decay in the publishing industry and how Steemit can help revitalize it.
Since then, a number of blockchain apps have sprung up attempting to solve the age-long problem - capturing and rewarding attention in the right manner.
Battling A Hydra-Headed Giant
The advertising industry is a multi-billion dollar sector and it will be overly-enthusiastic to say blockchain tech is going to wipe it out instantly. Mobile Ads spending is increasing annually. Also, more money is being pumped into Social Media especially video ads.
However, blockchain apps can attempt to chip away small essential niches and slowly become the de-facto way to reward attention capturing.
Perhaps the biggest competitors of decentralized ad options are the "too big to fail" middlemen. Facebook, Google etc. These centralized organizations take a huge chunk of the global market spending so any attempt to negatively affect their earnings will be met by stiff competition.
She tells me that for every $1 an advertiser spends on digital, they get about $.44 of value
The quote above relays the current pathetic situation of the advertising industry. The content publishers who put in massive efforts to create engaging content are given peanuts. With the rise of adblocks, publishers literally have to beg to be able to fund their operational expenses. Content consumers are also not rewarded for the 'massive eyeballs energy' they spend every day.
There must be a way out. A solid way of creating a better user experience and ad model for content publishers.
Current Blockchain Offers – The Battle Testers
I saw a picture shared by @andrarchy a couple of weeks ago and in it were the leaders of blockchain startups currently championing the fight for better ad revenue model.
Content Producers and Consumers Should Be Paid Better
A key similarity between Steemit and Brave Browser idea is the belief that content producers and consumers should get the largest chunk of the pie.
Steemit makes it possible for content producers to be paid in Steem and SBD to reward them for their intellectual efforts. Also, Brave Browser not only makes it possible for advertisers to deal directly with Content producers, it makes it easier for content consumers to tip content producers for doing a good job. Steemit does this too through upvotes.
The two blockchain solutions also make it possible for consumers to be paid to watch ads.
Fighting Ad fraud and Creating Trust
One of the major reasons why centralized companies (ad networks) like Google and Facebook still rule the roost is the massive undertaking of risks they perform. It's very risky for an advertiser to directly deal with a content publisher without fear of ad-fraud. Ad bots clicking and misrepresentation of traffic numbers are common misfortunate occurrences that make advertisers lose lots of money. Thus, the presence of "middlemen" with verifying database systems is highly necessary.
In 2016, ad fraud created by Internet bots cost advertisers $7.2 billion, up from $6.3 billion in 2015.
A number of blockchain companies are creating platforms that will help decentralize the whole process. Cutting out the middlemen and making a risk-free link between advertisers and producers.
Madhive uses a private blockchain to create a data aggregation database to connect advertisers and producers together. This database is secured using smart contracts and cryptographic keys thereby making it possible for advertisers to effectively track their ad points risk-free. This, in turn, helps mitigate ad fraud and helps build trust.
MetaX is also launching a private blockchain that tackles these problems –ad fraud and lack of trust.
They are releasing Adchain - a private blockchain that tracks encrypted ad impressions. These impressions are then validated by the advertisers and producers points upon factual confirmation.
Decentralization of Data Storage and Control
Imagine this scenario: You upload your data to Facebook and save it. A week after, you need the same data on Twitter and it gets difficult to move it in its original form. This is because each social network creates a walled garden over data put into its database making it impossible for others to access it except through provided APIs.
Think about it. Data created by you but owned and controlled by a corporation that leeches off it for massive profit.
Enter Userfeeds.io
Userfeeds believes that the next Facebook should be owned by you. It uses its' blockchain platform to encourage decentralized digital creation and ownership of value.
User controls their feeds (as against the current FB streams) and only allow others access their feeds when they provide an incentive. In order to receive the incentive, the blockchain verifies the hashes inputted into blockchain and acts basically as an escrow.
Fight against fake news
UserFeeds is also releasing an engine that will help public rank contents in a manner that will be used to combat fake news. It's basically like Google only that its ranking system is publicly available for audit and incentives are earned only by users.
There is no doubt that the current advertising system is in shambles and there exist several beneficial uses cases of blockchain to solve this ache. However, blockchain based solutions are not without their own issues.
Apart from the attendant problems that come with an infant technology, in reality, the blockchain tech is not immune to security risks like hackers et al.
It is however believed that the decentralized nature of the cryptographically-made blockchain will help infuse a breath of fresh air into the decaying ad industry.
Inspirations: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
Over to you:
Do you use ad blockers? And what's the most ads-infested website you've visited?

If this change is comIng, it's coming very slowly. You have to remember that educated people live in a bubble. That number is reversed for scientists; something like 97% are atheist or agnostic.

There's also the cultural aspect. Most Christians I know arent religious but rather just Politically correct. Most people would ask what else is there? Without god how can you have morals, etc? The answer is obvious to us but not so to them. I think humanism or zen Buddhism have a stronger chance of tipping than atheism because they have a stronger message and a sort of culture behind them.Ben simahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1458166553535188125.post-53657969636819385962011-11-12T15:44:01.689-05:002011-11-12T15:44:01.689-05:00Hmm.

An overtly atheist president for the United States of America. . .? *Whistles.* Seems like a bit of a stretch since we have plenty of believers, non-believers, thumpers, and other assorted [insert belief concept here] types who take exception to subsidies.

At the end of the day, culture seems to prevail over any personal belief. It's just that in the case of certain countries, certain religious beliefs are the very foundation of their culture.Kade firstname.lastname@example.com

At one point in August when President Trump trolled his critics, he attacked them (or rather all of us) over our focus on Russia (who he colluded with) because they are a clear and present danger to our country.
In his tweet, he referred to all of us as "fools" for not looking at China as a bigger rival claiming we were too distracted by the news reports about Russia.
All of the fools that are so focused on looking only at Russia should start also looking in another direction, China. But in the end, if we are smart, tough and well prepared, we will get along with everyone!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 18, 2018
Just like anything he tweets, says and does, there's no real substance here. But, it reveals another right-wing habit of creating a 'reality' from which right-wingers can source their own argument for their attacks against the rest of us.
Download this book NOW!
Trump based his tweet off of the assumption that his critics are too simple-minded to see past the flood of news stories about the threat on our electoral system from Russia and his involvement.
Based off of his assessment, it also projects the limits of Trump's own focus. It appears that in fact, he's revealing that he's troubled by the stories about his ties to Russia who helped him steal the election and is attempting to redirect the public's focus to another rival, who he's pissing off right now.

Managing diabetes in a daily basis means that you have to carry all of your supplies (insulin, syringes, monitors, test strips, lancets, etc) with you every where you go. You can't risk to run into an unexpected situation and don't be able to access your supplies.
Whit an insulin cooler you can keep your insulin at the right temperature for extended periods of time (some insulin coolers can keep the insulin cold for days at the time without refrigeration) and also have all of your supplies securely packed in the same place.
The Best Insulin Cooler Case for Daily Use
Chillpack Double Bag Diabetic Travel Organizer Cooler Bag for Insulin, Supply Kits with 2 Ice Pack Included
This insulated cooler bag allows you to carry your insulin (vials or pens), needles, testing supplies and meter while keeping your insulin cool for more than 8 hours. It comes with two ice gel pack included, and have large compartments to hold your supplies in. Most of the complaints about this product is it size, but with smaller insulin coolers you won't be able to pack everything you need into one bag.
The Best Insulin Travel Cooler
Insulpak Insulated Medication Travel Bag with Electronic Temp Display
If you are going on a long trip, this cooler is our best recommendation.
This 10in by 7 ½ in by 2.5in travel insulin cooler comes with a shoulder strap and a 24oz ice block to put on your freezer and re use it every time you need to. The temperature display on the front allows you to check your insulin temperature without having to open the insulin cooler.
Also, this insulin travel case cooler has several pouches to put any other insulin related supplies (such as needles, alcohol pads, meters, test strips) and it holds the right temperature up to 24 hours.
The Best Insulin Portable Cooler
NEWTALL 35.6-46.4℉ USB Insulin Cooler Case Portable Reefer Car Small Refrigerator
If you are in the look up for an insulin portable cooler, you must take into consideration this insulin cooler box. It will work up to 8 hours after fully charged, without recharging or using ice packs. It can hold 3 or 4 insulin pens or up to 6 insulin vials.
This small portable insulin cooler uses a standard USB port to charge, runs on batteries and has adjustable temperature.
The Best Insulin Cooler Bag
Goldwheat Portable Insulin Cooler Bag Diabetic Organizer Medical Travel Cooler Pack
This compact and efficient insulin pen cooler comes with two reusable ice packs. It holds two insulin pens or three vials and still have room to carry other supplies (syringes, needles).
It keeps the insulin cool for more than 10 hours (some users reported up to 20 hours while traveling) which make it a great insulin cooler for travel. It's compact design allows it to fit in a medium sized purse and its liner (made of high quality aluminum foil) provides a great insulation.
The Best Ice Pack Free Cooler For Insulin Pens
This wallet has two non removable, built in panels in the sides of the bag filled with non toxic saline. You just need to trow this insulin cooler bag into the freezer for about 12 hours before use and you are ready to put your medication in and hit the road.

Great Insulin Cooler Wallet
Chill Pack Diabetic/Medication Cooler Travel Case for Insulin Pen/Syringes

It can hold up to 4 pens, and, since is larger than the average insulin cooler bag for diabetics, can hold all the needed supplies.
The Best NO ICE PACK insulin pen cooler case
The Frio insulin coolers don't depend on an external source of refrigeration (like an ice pack) to keep your pens cool: they activate with water and keep insulin (and any other medication needed to keep refrigerated) at the proper temperature for up to 48 hours.
To activate a Frio insulin cooler, you just need to soak the bag in water for 5 to 10 minutes, then let it dry for about half an hour and it will keep your medications cool and safe for long periods of time.
This reusable Frio insulin cooler bags are reusable and come on several colors and sizes, and because there are not ice packs, they are very ligh.
What you must take into consideration before buying an insulin cooler
First and most important think to consider is for how long you'll have to keep your insulin into the insulin cooler case: will you use it only for a set amount of time every day, like going to school or work; or do you need a more flexible time management (traveling oversees and having to consider that you may encounter a delay on your fly). It's also a good idea to consider if you'll have access to a refrigerator while you are away from your home, or if, by the contrary, your insulin may have to be keep into your portable insulin cooler all the time.
It's also a good idea to consider how many supplies (and what kind) will you need to carry with you: would you need extra syringes, or pen needles, test strips, glucose tablets?
If you'll be flying, it's also a good idea to have a written note from your physician indicating that you MUST carry your diabetic supplies on an insulin cooler bag with you. I never hear of anyone being stopped by TSA when carrying an insulin cooler bag for diabetics, but you can never be to careful when it comes to your own health.

Gruzei is following in the path of Peter Tscherkassky and Siegfried A. Fruhauf, and her film relates to the Lumiére brothers' historic production. Workers Leaving the Factory (Again) has a socio-political context that is rare in experimental cinema, and which automatically imposes an ideological interpretation. The director takes care of the formal side of her film, but much more important is the significance of the anonymous crowd leaving the factory.
Crossing Europe FF 2013 – Local Artist Award; Nashville FFl 2013 – Best Experimental Short
Katharina Gruzei was born in 1983 and studied Experimental Art and Culture Studies at the University of Art in Linz, Austria. She is also a graduate of the Art Department of the University of California Santa Barbara, and of the Visual Arts in the University of Fine Arts in Berlin. Gruzei uses the accomplishments of film, photography, artistic installations, video and performance and her main field of interest is the use of the media as a political, social and cultural tool.

There was a progressive headmistress who was constantly looking for ways to improve the communication related activities of her school. She was tired of the usual style of reporting and wanted to make her academic reports visually attractive so that reading was made easy. She partnered with iMediaBay to design a 200-page academic report that included key data and statistics.
iMediaBay delighted her with an entire bunch of templates, graphs, charts, tables, infographics, tables, and stock images. The report went through multiple levels of improvements and iMediaBay submitted an end product that was informative and presentable. The headmistress was proud of the report and could not wait to share it with the Founder and teachers.
Moral of the story:
Say a little and say it well.

To the Editor:
We all wear masks in various aspects of our lives to fulfill our daily roles, to be professional, to meet expectations. For people who experience mental health difficulties, including anyone with an eating disorder diagnosis, the mask is one that they often struggle to discard. The idea of being completely honest about who we are, admitting that we have struggles and difficulties is often overwhelming. We all want to fit in; to belong, and exposing ourselves as somebody who is struggling or less than perfect brings significant turmoil, angst, and distress. People may struggle with coming to terms with a diagnosis of mental illness and a journey to recovery which may not be straightforward.
Inappropriate adult behaviors at high school athletic events across the country have reached epidemic proportion.
When more than 2,000 high school athletic directors were asked in a recent national survey what they like least about their job, 62.3 percent said it was, "dealing with aggressive parents and adult fans."
And the men and women who referee or umpire those contests agree. In fact, almost 60% of new officials registered in Iowa in 2016-2017 did not return to officiate in 2017-2018, and unruly parents are often cited as a major reason why. As a result, there is a growing shortage of high school officials here in Iowa, and in baseball, football, track and field, and wrestling, the IHSAA is seeing record lows. No officials means no games.
If you are a parent attending a high school athletic event this fall, you can help by following these six guidelines:
How about some good news? Here's some! At our own local hospital, Veterans Memorial Hospital (VMH), anyone can go to the Wellness Clinic, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., for very inexpensive and comprehensive lab tests. It took me 15 minutes last week for a complete package of lab tests. Call 563-568-3411 for more information.
What a great way to help support our small, hometown hospital, instead of "big box" clinics which charge over $1,000 for fewer tests! Of course, Medicare helps pay for us seniors, but isn't this part of the reason we hear Medicare is having trouble?
Senator Joni Ernst has stated that she is prioritizing lowering prescription drug costs for Iowans. She is also an ardent supporter of USMCA and has stated that Iowans need this legislation. In supporting both bills, Ernst has put herself in quite a conundrum.
The USMCA would protect pharmaceutical companies from generic competition. At issue is a section of the USMCA that would protect pharmaceutical companies with new biologics from generic competition, so-called "biosimilars." Those most likely to be affected are receiving treatment for cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Even though only two percent of patients in the U.S. use biologic medicines, they represent 40 percent of the total prescribed drug expenditure.
The people of Lansing wish to express their appreciation to the Park and Rec Board and the City Council for getting the Lansing swimming pool up and running this summer. This is the 50th anniversary of the pool. And as we all know, when you hit 50 (or even sooner), things don't work quite like they used to.
Although it was a late start, due to technical difficulties, the pool was a godsend for many during the hot days of the last half of the summer. We appreciate the lifeguards, and past and present pool managers for all their dedication, especially Patty Olson, Beth Galema, Spencer Colsch and Chloe Severson, plus those who work at maintaining a safe pool, like Rick Welsh, who has kept the chemicals and maintenance of the pool up-to-date for 20-plus years.
Running a summer pool is an expensive enterprise and we know that the income from the pool can never equal the expenses created, but there are untold values in having a community pool.

How Can We Be Ready To Meet Our Maker?
Jesus said: "Because I live, you shall live also" (John 14:19)
Certainly we cannot make ourselves alive spiritually. That would be impossible. For in order for us make ourselves spiritually alive we would have to keep all the commandments perfectly. God's Law demands that we be perfect. God is perfect and He demands no less of us. Jesus said: "Be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." All it takes is just one sin and we stand condemned before God. Jms writes: "Whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." And even if were able to avoid outward sins, God's Law demands that we must be sinless in all our thoughts too. And that means we must never have one thought of lust, revenge, or jealously, or hold any grudges against anyone.
The fight to save the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and affordable healthcare isn't over for Iowans. This time the Trump Administration is trying to repeal the ACA through the courts. The case is currently before the 5th Circuit of Appeals and the health care of hundreds of thousands of Iowans hangs in the balance.
If the lawsuit is successful, Iowans will be affected by higher premiums, loss of protections on pre-existing conditions, and a rise in prescription drug charges. We cannot return to a time when women pay more, seniors pay more, and young people are no longer covered by their parents' insurance. The health care of 187,000 Iowans is at risk.

In late July, Dr. Michael Luick-Thrams gave a presentation at St. Patrick Church in Waukon. He covered two themes: anti-German hysteria during World War I, and Ku Klux Klan activities in Northeast Iowa during the 1920's. Dr. Luick-Thrams had given other presentations in our community over the summer, including a Memorial Day presentation on POWs from the Midwest in German POW camps during WWII, as well as their German counterparts held at camps near Clarinda and Algona, Iowa. Dr. Luick-Thrams gave example after example of how easy it is to pick a race, an ethnic group, or religious group and use them as scapegoats for what ever we think is wrong with our society. The presentation reminded me of when I was in high school, we told "Polack" jokes. While the dominant group can say this is all "in good fun", the wounds delivered by our comments and actions can last a long time.
What is the meaning of equal? To some it is just a five-letter word with no meaning!
It should not matter if you are Democrat or Republican. It should not matter your skin color, your religion or your nationality! It should not matter if you are a man or woman. It should not matter if you are a single homeowner or a large company! Equal should mean the same for everyone and everyone should be treated as such!
Can there be any respect for those that know the meaning of equal, but do not think it applies to everyone?
Let me refresh them about the meaning of equal - alike in quantity, value, rank, ability, etc., even, one who or which is equal!
There needs to be a change! Maybe there are other words they need help with the meaning! Knowing the meaning, I guess, does not mean they are honest enough to follow that meaning!
Honest: without deceit or fraud; upright; sincere.
This letter is in response to Mayor Pat Stone's column in the July 24 issue of The Standard.
As a councilman for Waukon, I have been involved in the monitoring of the developments related to the economic situation with Veterans Memorial Hospital since I took my seat just over a year ago. The hospital is in the midst of a several year financial downturn due to many different factors.
VMH's financial struggles are not foreign to critical access hospitals. VMH has outperformed other critical access hospitals of similar size and type. That level of hospital is averaging -10% outcomes on their budgets.
Fortunately, the majority of the council (Hatlan, Rausch and Ellingson) has shown a strong commitment to support VMH, its board, and staff through these times of struggle.

Ride the High Country was an early film directing job for Sam Peckinpah, but elsewhere it's all about the endings. It was released toward the end of the Western's 'Golden Age', as the genre was losing popularity and becoming more introspective in tone. It marked the last film role for classic Western actor, Randolph Scott, who seemed determined to go out on a high. The action is set during the final days of the 'wild west'. Cars are replacing horses. Cowboys perform for the public and Joel McCrea's ageing former lawman rides into town to take on a last job. He's hired by a bank to protect the traffic of gold from a nearby mine and it's work he intends to take seriously. His character knows the gold will be moving through some dangerous territory, so he enlists an old, trusted friend (Scott), along with his protege (Ron Starr) to help, only he doesn't realise they've both signed up in order to steal the gold. Neither does Scott appreciate just how 'straight' McCrea has become. 'All I want is to enter my house justified,' he tells Scott, which defines everything his character does, whether protecting the virtue of a young girl or telling Starr not to drop litter.
The rift between these old men of a vanishing frontier emerges over the course of the piece, yet earlier it focuses on their mutual affection, the shared stories and nostalgic feelings about what their world used to be. It also becomes clear that the west is going to be a worse place without them. The younger characters are all, to varying degrees, unscrupulous chancers, especially the psychotic Hammond brothers, who emerge as the film's main villains.
At a shade under 90 minutes in length, Ride the High Country packs a lot into its running time. The plot passes economically, allowing for insights into all the chief characters' motivations whilst never sagging (I can't say the same for The Wild Bunch, Peckinpah's later and generally higher regarded Western, but perhaps that's just me). Long-time Peckinpah collaborator and Director of Photography, Lucien Ballard, provides some gorgeous shots of the disappearing frontier, ever catching McCrea's longing glances at the horizon as though both he and the camera realise it's all about to change.
It's a real treat of a film and Randolph Scott belongs on the kind of Saturday matinee screening provided here by Film4.

Traditional oriental & Balkan music & jazzy moods
Aleksandar Petrov, Bachar Khalifov, Theodossi Spassov, Peter Herbert and Vasil Hadzimanov have one thing in common: a deep knowledge of the traditional music of their countries (respectively Macedonia, Lebanon, Bulgaria and Serbia). The four of them are also influenced by jazz, world music, contemporary music and electro-acoustic music. This new project created by Aleksandar Petrov invites us to an acoustic world in which written music and improvisations are mixed. The compositions of Aleksandar, Theodosii, Vasil and l3achar refer to their various influences: melodies from Balkans, harmony influenced by jazz, oriental and macedonian rhythms.
Aleksandar Petrov is a Macedonian born percussionist and a composer. His instrument of predilection is the Tapan, a traditional drum of his country with which he's been the rhythmical anchor of traditional folk orchestras since age of twelve. He lives now in Paris where he's had many encounters with jazz musicians. He is an astonishing and a creative musician who composes and plays an innovating and interesting music, never satisfied with placing side by side the music of his origins with other music, but mixing them to obtain a new elixir.
Bachar Khalif is born in Beirut in 1983. His life is divided between performing and his classical percussion study in the National Superior Conservatory of music in Paris. This very brilliant young man plays with talent the vibraphone, darbouka, req and cajon. He uses every percussion as a solo instrument and his playing is marked by uncanny intuition and a masterful improvisational dexterity.
Vasil Hadzimanov is a pianist and lives in Belgrade after having spent five years in the United States. He studied in Boston from 1992 to 1995, in the famous Berklee College of Music and then moved to New York where he performed with great artists. Vasil is an appreciated musician for his pertinent way of playing rhythmical musical phrases which are a marvelous mixture of his own traditional influences and the be-bop. He reviews an instrumental technique which allows him to play a big range of sonorities with an ability to imply them while playing piano.
Theodossi Spassov a musician from Bulgaria, a sensational virtuoso on kaval, has a reputation of experimenting with musical styles and different musicians coming from various cultural and musical backgrounds. He has built an instrumental technique on his own, one that gives him freedom of expression and a variety of sounds that is rather unlikely to come out of such a simple instrument as the kaval.
Peter Herbert, born in 1960 in Austria, lived of 1989 to 2003 in New York and since settled in Paris.Formed in Austria with the traditional double bass and the piano, it studies the Jazz in Berklee College of Boston.Peter Herbert is a bubbling musician of activity which clears to take shape a way in the world of the improvised musics, and which leaves traces and its prints derrieres him.It met on its road of many very large musicians whose John Abercrombie, Art Farmer, Marc Copland, Art Blakey, Clifford Jordan, John Clark, Steve Lacy, Mick Goodrick, Kenny Wheeler, Daniel Humair, Whoody Show, Sheila Jordan, Vienna Art Orchestrated.It recorded more than 80 albums.
Gazmend Bericha born in 1970 from an Albanian father and a mother gypsy, in Srbica (Yugoslavia) is one of the largest violonist of Balkans than account the traditional music. It saw in Skopje since 1989 and it is at that time that it meets celebrates it singer Dzan Sever with whom it always collaborates. Musician much in demand for the festivities it occurs also much on scene and in particular with Ferus Mustavov, Esma Redzepova. He meets into 1999 the musicians of the Zlust project and opens at that time with other musical styles. Thereafter it renews the experiment to work with musicians of other universes and of which musicians of jazz. It works with Yoshiko Chuma, Damo Suzuki, akosh Szeveleny, Nikola Kodjabashja, Criss Cultler, Raymond Boni…

Turkey tour packages - Browse through a wide range of Turkey Holidays Packages with exciting offers at Thrillophilia. Book customized Turkey vacation packages with exciting deals & offers.
The name resonates with the idea of royalty, which would be quite evident once you reach this land of diverse historical richness, intriguing cuisine and beaches, and mountains to sweeping you off your feet. Turkey's history dictates a combination of the familiar with the exotic because, since the inception of its recorded history, the country has been invaded and settled from every direction. Consequently, the colonizers have had a prominent impact on the country's lifestyle choices, combining those of the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Balkans, and Central Asia.
The Turkey tour packages mostly include those of the western part of the country, which is also the most economically developed portion of Turkey. It is said that it might take weeks to even brush the surface of the old imperial capital, Istanbul. The straits linking the Black and Marmara seas are still dominating the country as its commercial and cultural hub. The two major monumental and most regal attractions, Bursa and Edirne, nestle with grandeur facing each other from either side of the Marmara Sea.
Another noteworthy attraction for which Turkish landscapes are revered is the Asian Anatolia, where the breathtaking Mediterranean coastline steals the show while Cappadocia's 'fairy chimney' rock formations and wavy valleys hold a magical profundity that goes unrivaled. There are endless ways to praise the astounding beauty of the Ottoman Empire, be it its outdoor adventures' adrenaline rushes or its culinary delicacy, the diverse land of influential culture is a magnet for people yearning for finesse. The Turkey tour packages are diverse enough to suit the needs of both wealthy and not-so-wealthy travelers. If you have a knack of exploring the unknown and mindlessly getting lost in a foreign land with no limited touring sites, then Turkey is your go-to place. Moreover, you would always find delicious Turkish specialties to caress your appetite after a long day of exploration.

Harm No. 3 of Kanban Column WIP Limits: Excessive Trial and Error
Column WIP limits…
… promote excessive trial and error. Practitioners are recommended to "play with the column WIP limits" to find out what works. Rather than measuring the effects in terms of throughput of the whole system and deciding accordingly, this approach proceeds without guidance and without a specific goal in mind. It is basically seeing what "sticks to the wall" and what "feels comfortable" for any given column owner(s).
Do not hurt yourself!

Case Presentation. A 63-year-old male with well-controlled HIV (CD4 count 757, undetectable viral load), epilepsy, and hypertension presented to the VA Boston Healthcare System (VABHS) emergency department with 1 week of bilateral leg swelling and exertional shortness of breath. He reported having no fever, cough, chest pain, pain with inspiration and orthopnea. There was no personal or family history of pulmonary embolism. He reported weight gain but was unable to quantify how much. He also reported flare up of chronic knee pain, without swelling for which he had taken up to 4 tablets of naproxen daily for several weeks. His physical examination was notable for a heart rate of 105 beats per minute and bilateral pitting edema to his knees. Laboratory testing revealed a creatinine level of 2.5 mg/dL, which was increased from a baseline of 1.0 mg/dL (Table 1), and a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio of 7.8 mg/mg (Table 2). A renal ultrasound showed normal-sized kidneys without hydronephrosis or obstructing renal calculi. The patient was admitted for further workup of his dyspnea and acute kidney injury.
► Jonathan Li, MD, Chief Medical Resident, VABHS and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). Dr. William, based on the degree of proteinuria and edema, a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome was made. How is nephrotic syndrome defined, and how is it distinguished from glomerulonephritis?
► Jeffrey William, MD, Nephrologist, BIDMC, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School. The pathophysiology of nephrotic disease and glomerulonephritis are quite distinct, resulting in symptoms and systemic manifestations that only slightly overlap. Glomerulonephritis is characterized by inflammation of the endothelial cells of the trilayered glomerular capillary, with a resulting active urine sediment with red blood cells, white blood cells, and casts. Nephrotic syndrome mostly affects the visceral epithelial cells of the glomerular capillary, commonly referred to as podocytes, and hence, the urine sediment in nephrotic disease is often inactive. Patients with nephrotic syndrome have nephrotic-range proteinuria (excretion of > 3.5 g per 24 h or a spot urine protein-creatinine ratio > 3.5 g in the steady state) and both hypoalbuminemia (< 3 g/dL) and peripheral edema. Lipiduria and hyperlipidemia are common findings in nephrotic syndrome but are not required for a clinical diagnosis.1 In contrast, glomerulonephritis is defined by a constellation of findings that include renal insufficiency (often indicated by an elevation in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine), hypertension, hematuria, and subnephrotic range proteinuria. In practice, patients may fulfill criteria of both nephrotic and nephritic syndromes, but the preponderance of clinical evidence often points one way or the other. In this case, nephrotic syndrome was diagnosed based on the urine protein-to-creatinine ratio of 7.8 mg/mg, hypoalbuminemia, and edema.
► Dr. Li. What would be your first-line workup for evaluation of the etiology of this patient's nephrotic syndrome?
► Dr. William. Rather than memorizing a list of etiologies of nephrotic syndrome, it is essential to consider the pathophysiology of heavy proteinuria. Though the glomerular filtration barrier is extremely complex and defects in any component can cause proteinuria, disruption of the podocyte is often involved. Common disease processes that chiefly target the podocyte include minimal change disease, primary focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and membranous nephropathy, all by differing mechanisms. Minimal change disease and idiopathic/primary FSGS are increasingly thought to be at differing points on a spectrum of the same disease.2 Secondary FSGS, on the other hand, is a progressive disease, commonly resulting from longstanding hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity in adults. Membranous nephropathy can also be either primary or secondary. Primary membranous nephropathy is chiefly caused by a circulating IgG4 antibody to the podocyte membrane antigen PLA2R (M-type phospholipase A2 receptor), whereas secondary membranous nephropathy can be caused by a variety of systemic etiologies, including autoimmune disease (eg, systemic lupus erythematosus), certain malignancies, chronic infections (eg, hepatitis B and C), and many medications, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).3-5 Paraprotein deposition diseases can also cause glomerular damage leading to nephrotic-range proteinuria.

HOLLYWOOD – The Golden Globes are to break with tradition tonight by eschewing the comedy host.
Instead of the usual comic host, Jimmy Fallon will emcee with his tired sycophancy and slappable ass-face. Fallon spoke with the Studio Exec:
2017 is a strange year. After 2016. I can't believe I tousled that Nazi's hair and now everyone thinks I'm in dutch with the orange asshole. This thing isn't on, is it?
So anyhow, the organizers thought we'd go with a somber thing. Dirge like. This whole mess is no laughing matter. And that's where I come in.
The Golden Globes are on tonight.
