UCSF Research Shows Earlier Statin Treatment Can Be Cost-Effective
The advent of low-cost, generic forms of cholesterol-lowering drugs has shifted the equation in managing lower-risk patients with elevated cholesterol levels, according to a multicenter study led by researchers at UCSF.
With powerful treatment now costing only pennies a day, the new analysis found that wider use of these drugs in as many as one in four adults could avert up to 27,000 deaths from heart disease each year, while actually cutting U.S. health care costs.
The study specifically addressed the question of whether generic statins – HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors – could be a cost-effective way to prevent cardiac events among adults with modestly elevated cholesterol and moderate risk for heart disease.
As of this November, there will be only one remaining statin on the market that does not have a generic version. That effectively reduces the cost of the treatment from more than $100 per month to $4 per month or lower, the researchers said, which changes the way we assess the cost-effectiveness of the medication.
"As new evidence comes out that more and more people benefit from statins, we've shown in advance that those people can be treated cost-effectively," said Lawrence D. Lazar, MD, an interventional cardiology fellow at UCLA and lead author on the paper.
"The time to prevent coronary artery disease is not when you're older and already burdened by disease," he said. "The time to start preventing it is when you're younger with better diet, exercise, lifestyle and, for a very large population, with statin therapy."
Now that prices are lower, it makes sense to use statins more aggressively as a preventive medication for a lower-risk population, he said.
Statins, which block a chemical in the liver necessary to make cholesterol, can impede the buildup of artery-clogging plaques (atherosclerosis) in the coronary arteries. They have been shown to decrease the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events by reducing cholesterol levels, particularly "bad cholesterol," or low-density lipoprotein (LDL). These drugs have been available to the public since 1987, but the relatively high cost of brand-name statins has prevented greater use among some patients with high cholesterol, the authors said.
If aggressive statin use were implemented widely in the United States, the long-term impact to the healthcare system could be substantial, they said, reducing annual medical spending by as much as $430 million, while simultaneously improving patient health.
"Treating anyone with any heart disease risk factors and an LDL cholesterol greater than 130 could actually save money," said Mark Pletcher, MD, MPH, an associate professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at UCSF and corresponding author on the study.
While he said statins' benefits to lower-risk people are still not fully defined, since that question has not been addressed by the gold-standard randomized drug trials, the known effects of the medication indicate that this could be very cost-effective, with few signs of long-term risk.
"When we take our best guess about the potential benefits of statins and weigh them against known and hypothetical adverse effects of the medication and the costs, statins still look pretty good," Pletcher said. "Statins would have to cause cancer at about the same rate as cigarettes to negate the benefits of treatment, and an adverse effect of that magnitude is extremely unlikely to have escaped detection by now."
The study compared the current level of treatment to two hypothetical models: a "cost-saving strategy" and a "maximum-impact strategy." The cost-saving strategy would treat 17 million people per year with generic statins, while the maximum-impact strategy would treat as many as 64 million. This approach could avert anywhere from 12,000 to 27,000 heart disease-related deaths, the analysis found.
Findings appeared in the July 12 issue of Circulation, a weekly journal of the American Heart Association.
Lazar was first author on the paper. Co-authors include Pletcher; Pamela G. Coxson, PhD; and Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, MD, PhD, from UCSF. Lee Goldman, MD, MPH, from Columbia University, New York, and formerly of UCSF, was senior author on the paper.

The placement of the year number where it is in URL path to the frozen version is one such unfortunate choice. In hierarchical namespaces you have to think about the order in which things go in. The Lynx distribution manages a logical URL prefix for the latest 'released' subtree of URLs, as well as providing frozen URLs for specific released versions. The references within a subtree appear to be still by relative URLs. But the logical 'latest' URL paths and their physical versioned sometime-synonyms are siblings, fellow descendants of the same prefix in the path space. Wander over to http://lynx.browser.org/ and follow to the current and latest-release distribution links, then inspect the source and you may find a pattern that works for the curriculum evolution scenario you wish.

Ram Goes Off Road with New 2017 Ram Power Wagon
The Ram truck brand has been raking in awards left and right for a good reason—it knows trucks. Nowhere is this better shown than the Ram brand's newest addition to its lineup—the 2017 Ram Power Wagon.
During the 2016 Chicago Auto Show earlier today, the Ram brand unveiled the 2017 Power Wagon. Built to conquer the great outdoors, this truck has received a variety of new design elements, both inside and out.
And really, just look at it. Do you think it wouldn't be able to handle anything that came its way?
Want a Luxurious Truck? Consider the Ram Laramie Limited Edition
The 2017 Ram Power Wagon is based on the Ram 2500 Heavy Duty 4×4 Crew Cab with a whole bunch of tweaks that make it ready to go off the beaten track. Its available colors, lighting, wheels, grilles, and graphics all take cues from the 1979-80 "Macho Power Wagon," reflecting Ram's lengthy history as a powerhouse brand.
But never fear—the interior doesn't look like it's from the 80s. Inside, new interior colors and materials, including Diesel Gray and Black seats, have a tire tread-matching pattern that adds nice flair to the cabin. Despite its style, though, the Power Wagon's interior is purely functional with a 7-inch center cluster and an 8.4-inch Uconnect screen that helps you stay connected no matter how far off the road you go.
Rebel Against the Norm: See what the Ram Rebel has to offer you
When you are off-roading, the Power Wagon has your back with its standard 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine. This powertrain churns out 410 horsepower and a peak torque rating of 429 lb-ft. As for the suspension, Ram has outfitted the Power Wagon with a unique setup.

Set the kinds of intentions that lead to greater goals and self actualization.
Life is a journey. A journey filled with twists and turns as we get to our destination - inner peace. Every step a purpose. When we take a few moments to mindfully focus, that journey can be a remarkable discovery. One that inspires, delights and awakens our sense of Self in the most beautiful way.
How meaningful and satisfied are you living your life presently?

We all have fears that at times can hold us back from our greatness and living life fully. Many people have difficulty allowing themselves to live fully and believing they deserve better.
Life Focus is about investing the time to connect with ourselves in the most deepest,and meaningful way. We often don't trust our own inner compass. However, through transformational questions, conversation processes, clients access their own wisdom and gain empowerment for themselves.
Without inspiration and knowing your self worth, a person can take much longer to achieve his/her goals or even take action. There is no better time explore your values inorder to achieve more fullfilling relationships and life!

I was tempted to post a withering counterblast to Mark Harrison's latest piece, but good sense prevailed. The constructive debate I've previously engaged in with the Catallaxy collective is more valuable than scoring points in another blogworld flamewar.
I will just correct a minor error noted by Mark and add a useful link. The reference to William Nordhaus was not in the counterpetition but in a supporting opinion piece by Alex Robson.
The actual statement by Nordhaus, and 2000 other economists including a number of Nobel Prizewinners is entitled ECONOMISTS' STATEMENT ON CLIMATE CHANGEThe relevant para, almost identical to that in the Australian petition reads
" Economic studies have found that there are many potential policies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions for which the total benefits outweigh the total costs. For the United States in particular, sound economic analysis shows that there are policy options that would slow climate change without harming American living standards and these measures may in fact improve U.S productivity in the longer run."
This correspondence is now closed (at least from my side).

Hey guys, I've been considering drumming up some WCW In 2000 merch, but would only do it if there's a market for it, obviously.
Wouldn't be much other than stickers, t-shirts, and possibly some e-book compilations.
I've drummed up a few prototypes for the stickers, so lemme know if you guys dig this stuff and I'll look into production. It'd be quality stuff, not that cheap cafepress bullshit.
I'm working on some t-shirt mock-ups as we speak

I don't know why no one can use the huge amounts of in game cheats that are available.
The guys are so busy with the large amounts of new games that are coming out and a game from 2006 isn't on the top of the list.
I'm sure they'll get to it in time, but complaining and getting narky isn't going to help.
Some folk like the option of having the trainer. Mate. But good to see 90 having a wee look at least

Hey, it's Melanie! As I've said before, I have been reading The Count of Monte Cristo. So far, the book is really intriguing with all of it's unsuspecting plot twists and dynamic characters. One of the main themes of the story is revenge. Yes, sweet, sweet revenge.*laughs manically while rubbing hands together* But is it really sweet? That's what the The Count of Monte Cristo made my class and I question. Can you achieve happiness by inflicting hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands? Whether you agree or not, watch the clip from The Help! In the video, Hilly eats a delicious "chocolate" pie courtesy of Minny, for all of the respect she never received working for her. See, guys you don't have to get even, just put on a smile and bake your enemy a chocolate pie made from love. Enjoy!

Packing for your grand safari adventure is different from packing for a trip to Disney Land or a weekend in Las Vegas. While you are dreaming of excitement and vistas that take your breath away, keep in mind that you are going to spend the majority of your time out of doors, and you do not want to get dirty or be schlepping four bags in your wake.
Packing Light
The name of the game is pack light. In fact, if you are planning on doing any plane hops between sites, you could be limited to less than 25 lbs. Your best bet is not to bring things you do not need, and, if possible, to bring a small duffel bag of absolute essentials to take on your safari, while you leave your larger roller bag and less needed items in your arrival/departure city. Check with your tour operator to find out any luggage restrictions they may have, as well as to get details about lockers or other long-term storage options for while you are "on safari."
The Wearables: Clothing and Accessories
Temperatures can fluctuate wildly from day to night, so packing in layers is important. Bringing specialty travel wear, or anything that dries quickly, can save you space as you can wash them in the sink and air dry overnight. You want to avoid any brightly colored items, including white, to ensure you do not stand out and distract the animals.
Loosely fitting clothing will help prevent over-heating in the day time, and a fleece or sweatshirt will keep you cool in the chilly morning or evening. A thin roll-up raincoat can be packed in an outside pocket or bottom of the bag and will be needed during the rainy season. Long pants and sleeves will protect you from the elements as well as mosquitoes.
For a typical safari of a week to ten days, the following items should be sufficient, but again, check with your tour operator.
- Tops: 3-4 T-shirts, 2 long sleeved shirts
- Bottoms: 1 pair comfortable, loose shorts, two pairs of long cotton pants (avoid jeans)
- Outerwear: 1 sweatshirt or fleece, 1 thin raincoat
- Undergarments: 2-3 pairs of socks, 4 pair underwear, 2-3 sports bras (if needed) all in a material that can be washed in sink
- Shoes: 1 pair water shoes/ flip flops for shower, 1 pair waterproof, comfortable, lightweight shoes for everyday
- Pajamas: 1 pair warm pajama pants can be paired with your t-shirts or sweatshirt to keep you warm during the chilly nights
- Accessories: Sunglasses and a hat with strap to protect you not only from the sun but also the dust
- Your swimsuit
Extra Gadgets
You are going on a safari to see the scenery and wildlife around you, so you do not need to pack a lot of "extra" entertainment. You are, however, going to want to capture your trip, so a camera is a must. With the camera make sure you consider extra batteries and/or charger, as well as additional SD/memory cards. You should also consider bringing binoculars to spot birds and hiding wildlife. Other items to include are a flashlight for walking around at night and a cell phone with an international plan (and the charger!)
Toiletries and Medicines
You do not need to go overboard with medicine and first aid, as the tour company will have first aid kits, but it is always a good idea to have a small stash on hand. When packing for your safari, consider packing Band-Aids, antibiotic ointment, pain relievers, antihistamine (pills or creams), bug spray/repellent, sun block and antacids/antidiarrheals. You can also pack hand sanitizer for when hand washing water is unavailable. You will also need to pack any feminine hygiene products (if needed) and you should consider panty liners—toilet paper is nowhere to be found nor is there any place to dispose of it while on a game drive.
You are Ready To Go
Keep in mind when packing for your safari that you are limited in the space you can bring. You will be spending the majority of your time outside in the dust and sun; you do not need to bring a fashion runway's worth of clothes. Pack light and with layerable items for fluctuating temperatures. Moreover, don't forget your camera! Bon Voyage!

Color Photography in South Africa
This article reminded me a lot of Conrad's descriptions of the "savages" in Heart of Darkness, and the synecdoche that Emily discusses in her post below. In terms of connections to the larger issues we have been discussing, the article illuminates the economic and ideological connection between a large "Western" corporation and apartheid in South Africa. It also brings up questions of voice and representation–if you cannot be photographed or are photographed and do not appear clearly in the photograph, you are literally invisible and voiceless.

Steadily increasing his presence among some high-profile groups in New York, including Fred Hersch's, Mark Helias' and Paul Motian's, Tony Malaby has incrementally expanded his reputation to create ever greater awareness of his propensity for exploring unconventional avenues of musical thought. However, Malaby's improvisational power achieves its greatest fulfillment when he works with one of his trios. Tamarindo provides much evidence of Malaby's considerable talent and unrestrained immersion into his music when bassist William Parker and drummer Nasheet Waits join him on six of his pieces. All three being equally inflamed by the superheated nature of Malaby's music, the musicians play freely throughout, exhibiting in the midst of their unified individuality remarkable technical control and unfettered imagination. Moreover, all three confirm their reputations of being creative powerhouses in their own right through the force of their musical personalities, all three of which complement those of the other two. Their levels of energy remain unabated throughout the single recording ses¬sion as they feed off one another's ideas. The first track, "Buried Head," starts inauspiciously enough, with Waits' ding in the center of the cymbal, Parker's ambling bass lines and Malaby's tweets and squawks and subdued playing of perhaps a motive. It's Parker who boosts the dynamism of the playing with quicker pulse and turbocharged intensity, to which the other two respond. It becomes evident that the intent is on-the-spot improvisation, rather than predetermination of direction. The tentativeness of "Buried Head's" beginning builds on ever-increasing fervor, the musicians express¬ing the passion they feel in the process of playing the music before the final winding down from the ardent beseeching. "Floral and Herbacious" is more motivic, and over Parker's arco bass work Malaby immediately sets up the six-note haunting pattern that emerges throughout the impassioned improvisations that follow. Indeed, the initial statement of theme leads immediately into a crashing, chattering, rumbling turbulence, though relatively brief, which contrasts suggestion with excitation. Then Parker literally takes over with a solo of such force, still slyly incorporating the six-note pattern, that Waits appears momentarily merely to follow and produce accentuation instead of rhythmic initiative. "La Mariposa," on which Malaby plays soprano sax instead of tenor sax, not only sounds lighter, but Malaby uses longer tones to allow the sweet sound of the instrument to provide, yes, at time melodies for a great degree of sensitivity combined with, still, leadership. As a capper, Malaby sustains a final high note that can't be counted in measures but rather in seconds, bringing attention to the fine tone that he projects. The title track appears to be derived from a folkloric theme that describes perhaps Malaby's experiences in Costa Rica. From the twittering and warbling that goes on initially, he indeed must have enjoyed the sounds of the outdoors there. Loosening his embouchure and swirling through the melody delivered in spurts and outbursts, the calmness, as expected, rises into windswept fury, leaving one to wonder what happened in Tamarindo, or if the thrill arises from remembrance. Nonetheless, the totality of the music made for Tamarindo leaves one impressed by the unremitting commitment of these professionals to the communication of strongly felt emotions that only music can express.

A lot of people have been swept away by the praises that Garcinia Cambogia has been receiving. It has been called all sorts of names including miracle pills. Even so, it has been a real miracle for a lot of people because it has proved to be one of the most effective products to use for weight loss. There are a lot of people that are struggling with weight all over the world. Weight gain has become one of the causes of many diseases and a source of frustration and desperation for many others. While gaining weight is easy, shedding the extra weight is always a problem. The quality of life that a lot of people lead has been greatly affected because of this. However, with the introduction of Garcinia Cambogia Australia, a lot of people have been set free from this struggle.
Garcinia Cambogia is a dietary supplement that is made using natural ingredients that have been tested and approved to be very effective when it comes to triggering and causing weight loss. Many people have witnessed this product work in the lives of many people, and they also believe the scientific backup this product has received. Even so, they still have their fears of using the product revolve around the safety of this product. Garcinia Cambogia is advertised as a dietary supplement without any side effects. Even so, many people are still asking this whether or not this is true.
Garcinia Cambogia Australia has no side effects. It is a safe dietary supplement that is made using some of the finest natural ingredients that cause weight loss. In Garcinia Cambogia, the main active ingredient is HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid). This substance is found on the rind of Garcinia Cambogia which is a fruit commonly found in Asia and Africa.
The HCA is the one that is responsible for triggering weight loss by playing vital roles in the supplement's working mechanism. It triggers natural processes to take place in the body, and the result is always weight loss. Once you have taken the supplement, and the active ingredient is released into the body, the product will start acting in many ways to ensure the excess fats are not stored, but they are eliminated from your body.
We have looked at factors that certify Garcinia Cambogia Australia safe. These factors are that it triggers natural processes that lead to weight loss and is made from natural ingredients.It is also important to know the benefits that the product has and what the users enjoy other than triggering of breaking down of stored fats leading to weight loss.
The body is more than capable of forming fats, and these fats end up being stored. Garcinia Cambogia will prevent the formation of fats by inhibiting the enzymes that are involved. This helps in losing weight and maintaining one's weight once the extra weight is shed off.
This is one of the reasons that make Garcinia Cambogia very effective; it suppresses your appetite. Part of the reason as to why a lot of people gain weight and become overweight or obese is because they eat more than they exercise. Many others eat unnecessarily and at all times. This means that the calories ingested are more than that which is burnt by the body. The result will be weight. But when the appetite is suppressed, one will not have urges to eat at all times, and they will not overeat. This means that the calories taken in will be less than that which is burnt by the body. Thus, there will be weight loss.
Garcinia Cambogia helps in increasing the levels of serotonin which is a neurotransmitter that greatly affects your mood. It reduces anxiety and depression and improves your general feeling of well being. This impacts your social life.
Garcinia Cambogia is excellent at managing stress hormone called cortezole and consequently manage stress levels. When stress levels are in control, one will avoid emotional eating which may result in weight gain.
This dietary supplement will always facilitate fat breakdown to release energy. This energy is used by the body for the day to day activities and helps the body to function optimally. Therefore, every day, one will always have a burst of energy, and this will make them active.
There are good fats and bad fats. Garcinia Cambogia will typically lower LDL which is the bad fats and increase good fats (HDL). When the levels of bad fats are higher, one is prone to conditions such as strokes, atherosclerosis, and heart attacks and so on. Garcinia Cambogia will save you from all these.
These pills will typically speed up the rate at which the body processes take place whether burning of fats, the breakdown of foods or other metabolic processes. This will translate to a better functioning body.
This supplement is also excellent at regulating sugar levels in the blood. That is why many it is one of the best products for diabetic people. It prevents drastic drops or rises of sugar levels which can have very adverse effects.
These are some of the glorious benefits of Garcinia Cambogia that people are enjoying other than just weight loss. Some people may not be aware of these extra benefits, but nonetheless, they enjoy them every day. This is a wholesome product that takes care of your health in more than way. Therefore, you should give it a try.

It's only possible with the innovation, passion and dedication of each of our employees, guests and communities around the globe.
Zero Net Emissions by 2030
As a company with locations around the globe, we are committed to measuring and eliminating our carbon footprint. We're looking at the ways we can make the biggest difference: our overall energy use and efficiency for our electricity needs and the fuels we use.
To achieve zero net emissions by 2030, we commit to:
- Reducing electricity and natural gas use by another 15 percent – in addition to the 19 percent already achieved – by improving operating practices and investing $25 million in innovative, energy-saving projects such as low-energy snowmaking equipment, green building design and construction, and more efficient grooming practices and equipment.
Since 2008, Vail Resorts has implemented an aggressive plan to reduce its electricity and natural gas use and has already achieved a 19 percent reduction, after adjusting for acquisitions and new business locations.
- Purchasing 100 percent renewable energy equivalent to our total electrical energy use and working with utilities and local, regional and national governments to bring more renewable energy to the grids where we operate our resorts.
We are already a member of Ceres Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy as well as RE100, a global collaborative initiative of influential companies committed to using 100 percent renewable electricity.
- Investing in programs such as tree planting to offset the use of other types of energy (e.g., gasoline and diesel).
- Engaging with vendors and suppliers to identify and collaborate on opportunities for them to reduce their emissions and environmental impact.
- Providing resort guests with information and opportunities for them to reduce or offset their carbon footprint.
- Sharing our progress in achieving our "Epic Promise for a Zero Footprint" goals in an annual sustainability report following the fiscal year ending July 2018, which will follow the Global Reporting Initiative's standard.
Vail Resorts intends to achieve a 50 percent reduction in its net emissions by 2025, based on 2016 levels.
Zero Waste to Landfill by 2030
At Vail Resorts, we plan to hit our 2030 goal of zero waste to landfill by diverting 100 percent of the waste from our operations to more sustainable pathways. Currently at a 40 percent waste diversion rate across our entire operations, we have set our sights on an interim target of diverting 50 percent of our waste by 2020.
To eliminate waste from our global operations, we commit to:
- Improving our recycling and composting program.
- Engaging with vendors to reduce packaging and to source recyclable and compostable products.
- Working with local resort communities to increase options for reuse and diversion.
- Increasing awareness and engagement with employees and guests through signage, labelling and training.
Zero Operating Impact on Forests and Habitat
Managing the health and resilience of our forests and habitat is sound, long-term planning for our critical mountain environments.
To protect the beautiful environments we operate in, we commit to:
- Minimizing or eliminating the impact of any future resort development.
- Planting or restoring an acre of forest for every acre of forest displaced by our operations, with the goal of achieving improved species and age diversity, resulting in healthier, more resilient forests.
- Continuing and expanding our existing commitments to partner with and fund local organizations focused on the health of forests, habitat and wildlife. In 2016, for example, the Company contributed more than $1 million to 50 environmental stewardship projects through direct grants, the Company's $1 guest donation initiative, and the 1% for the Forest commitment, made in partnership with the National Forest Foundation and The Nature Conservancy.

This seminar will be a joint two part presentation by Marcio Rocha and Robert Jackson. It will open up a discussion of the interrelationship between developing understandings of HCI and Artificial Intelligence. It will invite basic question about the location and conceptualisation of intelligence and stimulate the consideration of intelligence as an absolute quality that is subject to historical change. The seminar will draw these questions into some basic debates that inform technological approaches to the intimate involvement of humans with machines.
Marcio Rocha will depart from an Anthology of HAL-9000, the computer in the science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) to trace the various phases of AI in order to stimulate some reflections through a critical and philosophical view to inform the design of intelligent machines, addressing some major issues in the field of artificial intelligence.
Robert Jackson will examine an alternative reading of the 'Imitation Game' or 'Turing Test', first devised by Alan Turing in the NPL report Intelligent Machinery (1948) and in the famous text Computing Machinery and Intelligence (1950). Contrary to many biographical interpretations (Hodges 1992; Leavitt 2007; Copeland 2004), this reading bridges Turing's original negative solution to the Decision Problem in On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem (1936) with his later work on machinic intelligence.
In doing so, the presentation will propose that Turing's proof of undecidability in theoretical basis of Turing Machines provided a direct insight into a speculative understanding of "uncomputable intelligence" within real-world computers. From its inception, universal digital computation is stymied by undecidability; a term used to describe the mathematical predicament where no general systematic procedure can be executed to decide, or deduce what the outcome of another systematic procedure will be.
This reading underscores not just how structural relationships in computing mediate human use (and vice-versa), it also explains how formal computational systems are never holistically connected and are constantly prone to malfunctions, exploits and errors. No sophisticated computational system, whether it is human intelligence, servers, operating systems or smart-phones, can ever fully decide on the output of another complex system.

I said I recently started a new job working as an assistant to a literary agent and at the wonderful Goldsboro Books. This is both thrilling and exhausting. Being surrounded by all these books is becoming detrimental to my health – mental and physical. The late nights spent reading, unable to stop (because of enjoyment yet also the knowledge of the sheer volume that I need to get through) and then of course the decisions. So many options, all looking so good, which to go for?
This is what I pondered as I stared at the shelves, trying to decide on what my first purchase would be from the shop; what my premier signed first edition would be. I was a week into the job and of course by now had had a chance to become vaguely familiar with the array of titles on offer, but there was one that had kept catching my eye. Firstly it was the jacket. I picked it up for the first time, and I remember thinking what a nice cover it was. I moved the book and picked up the next as all I was doing was sending them out to lucky customers. Then I came across it again and just as before it stood out, so I opened it up to take a look at what lay inside. I'll in fact write some of it here so maybe you'll see what I mean:
There are books you can't stop reading, which keep you up all night.
There are books which let us into the hidden parts of life and make them vividly real.
There are books which, because of the sheer skill with which every word is chosen, linger in your mind for days.
The Shock of the Fall is all of these books.
My point is, I was already hooked. It didn't tell me anything. I was none the wiser as to what this book was about but I knew I had to read it. There were only blurbs on the back, three selected quotes with one thing in common – the word 'Stunning.' It was then that as I looked at those shelves and this memory came back that I knew of course it was what I needed to buy.
I started the book the next day (Saturday) and immediately it didn't disappoint. I was hooked more still from the very first page. But, not being a massive book, I didn't want to destroy it in a day or two as is so often the case with great books. I limited myself to the first 40 pages during that day. A day and 240 pages later on the Sunday I was done and it is absolutely brilliant. Recently I loved World War Z, I might have even said it was the best book I'd read recently and I don't want to appear fickle, but this really was.
I was so absorbed in this book and it was so well written I just couldn't put it down. It comes from the perspective of a highly unreliable narrator, who as the story develops, allows certain things about him to be known so that we realise he obviously has some kind of issues. I won't say more other than it deals with mental health. That was what I loved, and in general do love in books, not knowing what was really going on, whether what the narrator was revealing to us was true or false. Him even saying that he couldn't really remember just made it that more obvious that this whole story could be nothing like what we were being told. It all unfolds so cleverly, a testament to the amazing writing from debut author Nathan Filer, who I might add is obviously a very nice guy, mid way through I began to exchange a series of tweets with him about the book, and his recognition of the tweets and his replies showed a true appreciation of my comments.
As I've implied, the less you know the better. I never tried to find any of the story out before I read it and that was one of the reasons it was so bloody intriguing – not knowing the story. My only other research on it was a quick Amazon search which revealed a 5 star rating and of course was another reason why it was such an easy decision to make to buy it. Not a single part of this book disappointed me, I loved it all. It is such a cleverly written novel covering a sensitive subject. I'd be the first to admit I have a very limited knowledge on mental health problems but it feels so authentic; no doubt due to the fact the author is also a registered mental health nurse.
I am a huge fan of quirky and clever narrative voices. But I am also the first to admit that they don't always work. This does. As the narrator writes in different moods this is transferred to the page giving it a stream of consciousness-like feel. Little touches like the font changing as he writes from different places give it that authenticity and make us really believe there is a guy sitting at a computer telling his story as he remembers it. It is funny, moving and so believable.
For once, the hype from the publisher really does live up to expectations with this book. I couldn't recommend it more, it really is brilliant. I very much hope the author continues to write more of the sort as there is surely an exciting future ahead.
For fear of repeating the seemingly publisher chosen word to stand alongside the book – It is stunning.

What Makes an Excellent Craft Beer?
With over 300 restaurants serving up handcrafted brews, Arch City Tavern included, from a selection of about 25 local breweries, it's no surprise that Columbus, Ohio is proud of our reputation for hoppy concoctions. Enough to host an annual beer week.
But what makes craft beer so special? Why are patrons willing to spend their hard-earned dollars for a glass, or pint, of the tasty treat?
For starters, when consumed in responsible amounts (one to two glasses per day), assorted university studies have found several health benefits to craft beer over the years:
- Drinkers maintain higher bone density due to high levels of silica.
- Drinkers have reduced likelihood of developing high blood pressure.
- Drinkers have reduced risk of experiencing blood clots or heart attacks.
- Antioxidants found in both barley and hops, key ingredients in beer known as polyphenols, combat chronic diseases.
- It's fat free, a means to replace electrolytes, and can nourish muscles . . . who knew?
Flavor. A good beer has lots of it. Serious beer drinkers expect it. Since craft beers are done in relatively small batches, at least in comparison to their mass market counterparts, more effort is put into the quality of the final product. From the ingredient selection to water filtration options to processing, a craft beer is monitored every step of the way. The result is the finest the industry has to offer.
Due to the richness of craft beer, most drinkers find themselves satisfied with fewer per sitting than if they were drinking a watered down mass market varietal. Crafted beers' deep flavor and viscous density allow the connoisseur to savor and enjoy the experience. The result at the end of the night can be a smaller tab, and less bathroom trips given the evening has been spent with paced, appreciative imbibing rather than guzzling, looking for satisfaction.
And probably everyone's favorite reason to drink craft beer: an astounding 5-10% is the average alcohol by volume that you'll encounter, but craft beers have been measured as high as 40% abv. Compare this to the average 2.5% abv of the general market and you can see that you've got some powerful juice on your hands.
A wide variety of craft beers including ales, lagers, and ambers, as well as more eclectic offerings like Watermelon Wheat and Lime-Cilantro Saison can be found on Arch City's menu. Whether draft or bottled is your preference, we've got your brew waiting.
Be sure to pop in and say hi during beer week! Include us in your celebrations by sharing your pictures on twitter and tagging us @ArchCityTavern with #CbusBeerWeek

The asphalt was unforgiving that morning. It didn't care that I was just walking to the store, it was going to try and take my shoes with every other step. Then the door tried to break me with its old world heft. VS was a bad choice for supper. In mid groan I heard pops. They didn't register right away but I figured it out before I stepped on the welcome mat.
I heard 5, Nicola tapped 6 on the counter. If gunshots are close it's a draft notice but a couple blocks away, they're a running gag. A weak incandescent bulb was shining over my head. It tried to show the paltry stock decorating the aisles behind me. The perishables had perished, everything else was getting dusty. All the good stuff was behind the swollen old proprietor in the stock room. That was smart, I'd probably just take it otherwise. He'd take from me, I'd take from him. We were simpatico.
"Grape nuts, bra, milk."
I put down on the table what I thought fair.
"You've got 10 packaged needles. I think that's enough for milk and a brassiere."
Currency in my community is somewhat dynamic.
"Could an eightball get me some grape nuts?"
"Cocaine maybe but so little? Meth no, tweakers are … subsistence farming yes?"
I remembered when this Tienda was Javier's. Javier (who actually spoke Spanish) use to give me a tits discount. Nicola still looked, but I paid retail. Sometimes more.
"I've got most of a Glock. No trigger, thats all."
"That's shit. What's a gun that can't shoot."
"A trigger from a gun that can."
"I can shoot 8 times when you can't shoot once. Worthless."
I wasn't getting my grape nuts but I wasn't letting this slight pass.
"Well, you can shoot 8 muskets but if I get a trigger assembly, I can shoot 15 times before I reload. Which takes about 5 seconds."
"It's good feature, but trigger is better feature."
I could only grudgingly accept that he was correct. 3 miles to the south, just out of Lower Celestia was the beginning of Portland. There sat Wang's Emporium, where I could get everything I wanted and a Grandfather clock as a bonus. This was dreaming, I like everyone else in Little Lagos had no car. We had big fuck all square buildings full of people, we had guns and drugs, but cars? No. So locals shopped local.
"I will have my grape nuts old man."
"Yes but not for that price… maybe something else?"
"Are you suggesting?"
He wasn't. I was out of shape, way after puberty and he could have anyone around. I suddenly felt old and unfuckable. The room kept on talking without us, whirs, hums and little clicks babbled as Nicola stood on the other side of the counter, tapping. My hands were diving into a tote searching for absolutely nothing, stalling. Then suddenly angry French outside.
"Old English shit, it's 7am."
Old English starts where Little Lagos just shrugs and gives up. It's a place where those who won't have and those who don't have squat together. Those who don't have are soon to be lured by the sometimes working indoor plumbing and enticing hope of electricity.
"Probably drugs."
Nicky spiked those few words with a gallon of jealousy.
"Sugar." My inner cynic used my tongue.
"Sugar makes hope. Hope is better than drugs."
I was going to argue the finer points of hope and antibiotics but then I heard a rifle, and again. Something about Nicola's face told me he wasn't going to to help. I could've tried to get something out of his delinquent conscience but sadly, my better parts screamed a little louder than his and I was soon out of the door with the bra and the milk on the table. Outside, with not a shadow of a gunman, I found myself a corpse. All that anger, that life, and here I was stepping in it, my soles were dripping with it.
He was a powerful little man, who may have looked like a towheaded Aryan angel a decade prior to our meeting before he got pocked and scarred. The wool of his tunic was coarse, soiled and unusable. There was a big crucifix around his neck and a Bulova that was quite still hanging off his likewise unmoving wrist. Promptly, they became mine and entered my bag. Out of the corner of my eye, I found a dog waiting his turn. I met his gaze. I'd give him his due once I took what I could. That's how it goes, those who live get priority over those who don't.
A minute earlier and I would have missed it but the dawn had come and there it was engraved on a beautiful sleek shiny metal box, with ear buds. If a man should know one bit of Latin, I guess thats not a bad bit. was almost giddy as I reached down for it. I was hoping to hear something good.
"Onri? Onri!"
Instead I found myself pointing a gun at a pretty little savage that was maybe 16. I couldn't remember grabbing the glock. My finger had already pulled, impotently. She was unaware of the context, for all she cared I just didn't like her. Slowly time returned to normal and the scene started to make sense. Man buys music for a girl, music goes away, man gets angry. I pointed at her and then the mp3 player.
I got up, and I walked his cross over to her. She would get more use out of it than I would. I gave her 3 rings too, that I didn't know I'd taken. I kept the watch. I was going to tell her that I didn't do it, that I could probably fix her music but I didn't have the words. We just stood there.
I'm ashamed to say I was still pining for grape nuts.
Anywho I try to make these so that they can stand on their own but.. here's the first Dis story.Here's the second one.

Because 20-meter activity here was poor and I missed the only 15-meter opening (15 was dead by 02:00z), I decided to follow last year's lead and submit the log as a Single-band 40-meter entry - 71 QSOs in 31 prefectures (4 more QSOs than 2013). Of course, I submitted the log with all 97 QSOs (from 80,40,20 & 10) to satisfy the JARL's log-checking software.
Thus far, according to the 3830 Scores website, I am the only single-band-40 low power entry - we shall see. Then again, last year my submission to 3830 website was the only one for 40-Lp, yet I actually placed 3rd - a reminder that entries on the 3830 scores website are only rumors.
Thanks to this weekend's mediocre SFI of 136 and K-Index of 5, the atmospheric noise was HORRENDOUS - often S-9. Two days after the contest, the SFI is back up to 160 and a K-Index of 1 - Go Figure.
Because noise is vertically-polarized, running a vertical antenna didn't help matters much but it was all I had available for this location; the numerous trees in the area were not on the QTH's property and were inaccessible for hanging my 8JK dual-Sloper arrangement.
Even though I thought the use of the 1x1 callsign would be an obvious JIDX tribute, I was amazed by how many stations had trouble with the W6J callsign this year (way more than last year). Then, because the S/N ratio was so poor, stations would immediately move on and start calling CQ; often not working anyone for several minutes, while I continued to call them. The bottom-line is it PAYs to be patient and work the stations that are calling you; no matter how difficult it may seem.
I originally was to run the N1MM logger on an old Windoze XP system, but RFI coming thru the keyboard (even with magnetic donuts) made XP run weird. Instead, I switched to running WINTEST on an RFI free Windoze 7 computer. I lost some serious operating opportunities due to logging software glitches.
After my work commitments on Saturday I arrived in time for a 15-m & 10-m opening. I worked all I could find on 10-meters and then switched to 15-m to discover that the antenna had a make/break connection which only manifest on 15-meters. After 40-minutes of antenna futzing I resolved the antenna problem just in time for 15-meters to drop out at 02:00z (In recent weeks, 15-m has been staying open until 04:30z). Results? A QSO count of 0 for 15-meters. After the 15-meter mishap, because of the weak signals and the noise, Saturday evening (02:00z to nearly 07:00z) yielded no stations on 20 meters; another reason to submit the SOSB-40L score.
Repeatedly, my biggest complaint about JIDX again this year is the POOR turnout on the part of the Japanese stations themselves. (I have the same complaint with the All Asian Contest.) To makeup for that dearth, I spent a lot of time calling CQ JA, when in fact there should have been 2x to 3x the number of search and pounce (S&P) opportunities available to me. While I don't mind running a frequency, technically, for JIDX I should not have to.
Another complaint is that prefectures 48, 49 & 50 are never active during JIDX, altho this year I did work #48. How can we work all prefectures if 49 & 50 are never active. In my mind, that is a glaring Ooooopppppssss.
I am also surprised by the number of JA stations that don't know what prefecture (by prefecture # - 1 to 50) they are operating out of. Asking for their JCC # often solicits the needed information; if you know how to convert that number into a prefecture.
To keep track of prefectures by band, some years ago I devised an APP known as the WQ6X Prefecture Checker. If there is enough interest in this product I may well release a freeware version of the software.
Did you play in this year's JIDX Cw contest?
How did it go?
Did you experience significant atmospheric-QRN?
Or, were you immune from it.

We are moving!
After eight years in Cologne's Belgian Quarter we'll be taking the city's Ehrenfeld neighbourhood by storm from 1st November 2016. From then on you'll find our Cologne office at Studio Haus, Lichtstrasse 43 c, 50825 Köln at the Vulkan industrial complex, the refurbished site of the former Vulkan lighting factories, which is now home to a number of different companies including media and advertising agencies, start-ups and studios. On an approximate area of 500 m², we'll have plenty of room for our projects and the associated tinkering and experimenting!
It's not only a lot of space awaiting us here in the west of Cologne, but also a whole new quarter to explore! Ehrenfeld has a multicultural flair and a vibrant mix of cafés, bars and restaurants. Hip and a little cosmopolitan, it attracts art enthusiasts and culture vultures just as much as agencies and businesses.
Our telephone numbers and e-mail addresses will remain unchanged, just like the team and of course our creativity. We're looking forward to welcoming you to our new office!

'I couldn't stop reading or caring about the juicy and dysfunctional Plumb family' AMY POEHLER
'A masterfully constructed, darkly comic, and immensely captivating tale…Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney is a real talent' ELIZABETH GILBERT
A sharp and funny debut about a wonderfully dysfunctional New York family and the three grown-up siblings fighting to save the family money pot – the 'nest' – as their oldest brother threatens to lose it all.
When Leo Plumb drives off drunk from a party in a sports car with a nineteen-year-old waitress in tow, to the moral and legal fallout must be added the horrible inconvenience to his brother and sisters. Leo's rehab costs have severely depleted 'the nest' – the family's joint trust fund that would have cut them loose from their myriad financial issues.
For Melody, a suburban wife and mother, it was to cover both an unwieldy mortgage and her daughters' college tuition. Antiques dealer Jack has secretly borrowed against the beach cottage he shares with his husband. And Beatrice, a once-promising short story writer, can't seem to finish her overdue novel.
Brought together as never before, the Plumb siblings must grapple with old resentments, present-day truths, and the significant emotional and financial toll of the accident, as well as finally acknowledging the choices they have made in their own lives.
Ferociously astute, warm and funny, The Nest is a brilliant debut chronicling the hilarity and savagery of family life.

Disability Disclosure: To Tell or Not to Tell
There are no Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) after a student graduates from high school; college faculty and staff are not required to provide accommodations to students who have chosen not to disclose their disabilities.
Self-determination is the desire and practice of directing one's own life. A self-determined individual sets goals, sees options, evaluates potential outcomes and makes decisions. It is an important and personal choice and should be an informed choice.
High school students with a goal of attending college or post-secondary education programs need to understand that whether or not they disclose their disability will impact their ability to request and receive accommodations.
Weigh the Advantages and Disadvantages
In addition to receiving reasonable accommodations, there are other advantages to disclosing a disability:
- It provides legal protection against discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act
- It provides greater freedom to communicate should a student face changes in his or her situation or condition
- It improves self-image through self-advocacy
But there can also be a downside to disclosure. Some of the disadvantages may include:
- Some young adults find explaining their disability difficult or embarrassing
- It can bring up conflicting feelings about self-image or it may lead to being viewed by others as needy or not self-sufficient
- It could cause a student to be overlooked for a team, group or organization
Students considering college should know how their disability affects their capacity to learn and perform academically and if there are accommodations, services or supports that will help them participate in and excel in their studies. They should carefully consider the pros and cons of disclosure and talk to parents, teachers, coaches, and friends before making the decision.

Oh dear, please help!
This is hard to write, and is even harder to think about but here goes!
When I was 9, my mum moved a guy in, me & my brother, met him just twice before, then suddenly he lived with us, never mind, he was a nice guy, who made mum happy.
One night after about a year or so of him living with us, he babysat me, on my own. This was when I realised, what I truely wonderful, caring, handsome man he actually was.
I crushed on him in a very big way, but he didn't seem to notice me, but my mother knew something was wrong, and packed me off to live with my real father. I was still, mad for my step-dad, but as years passed, not seeing him very often, the crush, began to ease.
Then, on my 15 birthday party, around my mums, we both stayed up, and cleared away, mum was a bit wasted, and passed out in her bed, as my emotions were all over the place, I grabbed a bottle whiskey and swilled as much as I could, my confidence grew nearly instantly.
This is where things get naughty;
As we sat and spoke, me half drunk, him tipsy, we got talking about boys, and he asked "what was my first kiss like?" I explained, I'd "never been kissed before", and spiced it up with, "know one as ever even groped me before!", he was genuinely shocked and said, "wow, I cannot believe that, you are beautiful, smart, and probably should say it, but, sexy, are the boys you know blind?", I felt, so pleased, he thought I was all those things, and excited, (was this going to be my only chance?)...
I couldn't hold my words, and blurted out, "Tom, would you be my first...kiss, I mean!?", giggling followed and the mood changed, he explained, it's a massive step, and he loves my mum, and it just couldn't happen..but I was feeling brave, and said, "know one would ever know, and it could be our little secret"I gently rubbed his knee, edging toward his groin, he started saying, "don't, please don't, it's wrong on so many levels, please, Lisa, I...i, don't think, I'll be able t..too," as my hand was on his crutch, rubbing back and forth, he finished is sentence, "resist yooooo...u" I unzipped his trouser, and whipped out his tool, in one swift motion, wrapped my eager mouth round his shaft, he blew his load almost instantly......TBC...

Environmental Pollution Prevention Hot-Line and Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination
For any pollution concern, illicit discharge, or illegal dumping please go to Report a Problem; or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Environmental & Stormwater staff can also be contacted at the following numbers: 512-990-6348 & 512-990-6300.
What to report:
- A description of the potential pollution
- location, source & responsible person(s) of the pollution
- Your name & number, in case the investigator needs additional information
When to report:
- It is important to immediately report pollution problems upon discovery, especially if the pollutant has any potential for draining into bodies of water (springs, creeks, lakes, etc.). Always call 911 emergency services f there are any severe bodily injuries and any potential threat to life or property during an accident, leak or spill incident.
The following sources of pollutants can severely harm our creeks and lakes:
- Petroleum Products: improper disposal of motor oil and other mechanical fluids. Leaking gasoline and diesel tanks
- Construction Site Run-Off: silt, sediments & mud discharging off of construction sites due to inadequate controls such as silt fence, rock berms and stabilized construction entrances or illicit pumping of water to an off-site location without the use of a proper filtration bag
- Chlorinated Water: Improper draining of pools and spas
- Sewage & Septic Tanks: Effluent discharges from waste water line breaks, leaking septic tanks or illicit connections to stormwater drainage infrastructure
- Antifreeze, Radiator Fluids: Improper flushing, draining and dumping
- Trash & Debris: illegal dumping, littering, trash build up, and construction site waste
- Common Household Chemicals: Illegal dumping into the storm drains
- Fertilizers and Pesticides: Unnecessary or excessive usage, especially when applying directly before a rain event
- Restaurant Grease: Improper disposal & leaking dumpsters
- Paints, Solvents & Wet Concrete Material: Improper disposal, illegal dumping into storm drains, and run-off from construction sites
- Pet Waste: Don't forget to scoop the poop in order to prevent excessive amounts of bacteria into our watershed.
- Report a Problem
The below examples are pollution issues that must immediately be reported.
Diesel Tank Spill. Notice that the fuel made it onto the paved drive. During a rain event, stormwater would carry the fuel to a nearby storm drain and then flow directly into Wilbarger Creek, potentially harming aquatic species. Hydrocarbons are very toxic to humans and wildlife, even at very low levels (1 quart of motor oil can make 1000 gallons of water unusable). They are considered to be carcinogenic and teratogenic. Report a Problem
Illicit Paint Discharge: Notice that somebody cleaned their paint equipment over the storm drain. This storm drain flows directly to Gilleland Creek. Report a Problem
Improper Storage of Petrochemicals: Notice that the containers are opened and exposed to rain water. They also lack secondary containment, which is a regulation for storing any hazardous materials on a construction site. There is a storm drain nearby that flows directly into Wilbarger Creek. Report a Problem
Trash Accumulation at a Local Drainage Outfall: Notice the accumulation of trash build up. This is a very common issue at drainage discharge locations (outfalls) throughout the City. During a precipitation event, stormwater will carry float-able trash through the storm drains and eventually to a stream or creek. Trash can degrade aquatic habitat, cause visual blight, smother productive sediments, leach harmful pollutants and cause unpleasant odors. Furthermore, birds and fish are known to feed on plastics and styrofoam until they die from obvious digestive complications. Report a Problem
Construction Site Run-off: The picture on the left shows the offsite discharge of sediment laden waters. The picture on the right shows the same turbid waters down stream on an unnamed tributary to Wilbarger Creek. Notice that the water has a milky hue. This is caused by the discharge of very fine silt material commonly found on construction sites. Properly installed & maintained silt-fencing is required to contain this type of sediment. Sediments can smother aquatic habitats including gravel beds where fish lay their eggs and can interfere with fish respiration and survival. Other pollutants, such as, phosphorus and petrochemicals attach to the sediment on a construction site and then are released into a water body. Report a Problem
Most Importantly, never dump or allow dumping into a City storm drain! Report a Problem
