Vice's founder thinks television is failing young people – is he right?

Everyone at this year's Edinburgh International Television Festival was expecting Vice chief executive Shane Smith to ruffle a few feathers when he gave the annual MacTaggart lecture on Wednesday evening, but few were prepared to be quite so ruffled.
In a rambling speech interrupted by references to drinking, drug taking, becoming director general of the BBC – and, at one point, a moth landing on his head – the boss of the digital media empire lambasted broadcasters for neglecting the interests and needs of the world's youth.
The TV industry has been aware it has something of a youth problem for years, but Smith's speech has pushed the issue centre stage. The hyperbolic, confrontational language he used has re-energised the debate, and many have taken umbrage at a North American upstart coming to Scotland to tell UK broadcasting it's out of touch. It's not hard to see why.
"Now the baby boomers have had a stranglehold on media and advertising for an entire generation," he told the assembled producers, TV bosses and journalists at the Edinburgh Playhouse. "That stranglehold is finally being broken by a highly educated, ethnically diverse, global thinking, hard-to-reach generation. And media is having a hard time adapting to this rapid change."
Topics such as climate change or LGBT issues that young people care about are covered rarely if at all, he said, because the people making TV are making it about the things that interest them. "It's a different market and it consumes media in a different way. It can't be advertised to traditionally and it wants media to be specific only to them. This is hard for baby boomers to get their heads around. You have a lot of baby boomer executives saying 'I don't know, put a skateboard in it'. There is no easy solution.
"Because of that it changed everything. Everyone said young people don't care about news [and] they sure as hell don't care about international [news]. Bullshit. They care. But they don't like the way it's been portrayed up until now. This is a huge white space."

The following day the TV bosses of Britain's biggest broadcasters got their chance to respond, and their central argument was that while Smith might be right about the US, the UK was a different kettle of fish. "In America, it still feels like making that content is really radical and revolutionary," said BBC director of content Charlotte Moore. "Networks there do not show stuff about climate change, about women. It's a good rallying cry ... but it shows us how precious what we have in the UK is."
Sky's managing director of content Gary Davey said Smith had missed the point. "We all have to acknowledge that we probably need to encourage more young people to be in the creative process," he said. "But I think we're already doing a lot of what he's advocating .... We have a fantastic diversity of channel types and programme types ... It's a fantastic breadth of choice. We are effectively servicing lots of target groups."
Asked whether Smith was "a genuine disrupter or emperor's new clothes", ITV director of television Kevin Lygo was less diplomatic, saying he was "trying not to use the word 'odious'", and was met with a round of amused applause.
Channel 5's director of programmes Ben Frow (who had skipped Smith's speech altogether) made a telling intervention on the topic of sex on TV to justify a show that debuted at the start of the century. "Kids like sex and confrontation, and Big Brother has both." And while Moore said it was patronising to say the young are only interested in sex, her list of shows that get the youth vote – including The Great British Bake Off, The Apprentice, and programmes about Brexit – did not suggest a revolutionary approach to the audience.
Jay Hunt, Channel 4's chief creative officer, later added there was a danger of creating a "cult of youth" and "demonising" old people. "It's OK to make shows for people over 34. We are at risk of over-correcting."

Broadcasters here can point to their own successes and the UK's diverse range of programming. Yet for all the pride in good shows dealing with important issues, the stats suggest young people are paying less and less attention to it. Ofcom's Communications Market Report published earlier this month showed the average British person watches almost two-thirds of their video diet as live TV, and with recorded TV included that rises to almost 80%. Yet live viewing drops to little more than a third for 16- to 24-year-olds and less than half when recorded is thrown in. Almost 40% of their time is spent with free or paid on-demand video and, of course, short video clips of the kind you find on YouTube.
Research by Enders Analysis commissioned by former Channel 4 executive Liz Warner, who helped launch Big Brother, paints an even bleaker picture for the leading TV executives who gathered in Edinburgh. Enders found that the average age of viewers of BBC1 and BBC2 is 62, while on ITV it is 60 and on Channel 5 it is 58. On Channel 4, the average age is 55 and on "youth" channel E4, it dips to 42, which is also the average age of the UK population.
In her Bafta lecture last month, titled TV Is Old and Boring, Warner warned of a danger – losing a generation – remarkably similar to the one described by Smith. She said that TV was rehashing old ideas, failing to take risks and becoming a less appealing place for young people to work. "We have failed to engage with a whole generation of digital talent, the younger generation are not switching on, television is failing the young." Unlike Smith, though, she wasn't talking from a background of US television, but from a career firmly rooted in the UK. Her warning was stark. "It's got beyond being anecdotal and I think we're facing a creative chasm and a crisis."
Smith's message, and certainly Smith himself, may not have gone down well with his audience in Edinburgh. But he's not the only one worried about whether TV is doing enough to make sure it offers a younger generation of viewers what they want.
Is the online-only BBC3 a success?

BBC3 remains central to the BBC's attempts to reach young people despite going online only seven months ago, but a recent survey by Thinkbox showing the corporation has seen an 18% fall in its youth audience since the linear channel's closure has raised questions about the move.
In the post-MacTaggart interview at the Edinburgh TV Festival Vice's Shane Smith said closing the channel was a mistake.
"I don't know I would have closed [BBC3] down. I think I would have waited a little bit. I know the [BBC's] mandate is 'we've got to get more millennials, get online', but if you had an asset that's that good, that's beautiful."
At Edinburgh, BBC3 unveiled three new commissions about the US that are the kind of shows Vice itself might make, including a documentary fronted by Angela Scanlon called Trump's Youngest Superfans and a Reggie Yates programme on gun crime in Chicago.
BBC3 controller Damian Kavanagh told the festival that the short period covered by the survey meant people shouldn't draw strong conclusions.
"It's really dangerous to start measuring figures over a six-month period and extrapolate."
Kavanagh also pointed out that BBC3 long-form content eventually airs on BBC1 and BBC2, and said Vice's decision to go the other way and launch on TV was motivated by a desire to sell more ads. He also agreed with other executives at the festival that Smith's criticism of TV's approach to young people applied to the US but not the UK.
"I think we've been making stuff that cut through for young people, all the broadcasters are pretty good at it."

Q: Using Firebase with Expo: how to properly setup and test Firebase config? I am trying to do a very simple expo react native project that can save to firebase.
Following the guide here: https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/guides/using-firebase.html
Step 1: How to set these values correctly? Where to find them?
const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "<YOUR-API-KEY>",
  authDomain: "<YOUR-AUTH-DOMAIN>",
  databaseURL: "<YOUR-DATABASE-URL>",
  storageBucket: "<YOUR-STORAGE-BUCKET>"
};

I had a difficult time figuring out the exact details for step 1, so I thought I share some guidelines, and a code to test step 2 easily.

A: I will tell you, where to find each value using the number next to their field, and then provide a code to test it.
const firebaseConfig = {
    projectId: "", // 0
    apiKey: "", // 1
    authDomain: "", // 2
    databaseURL: "", // 3
    storageBucket: "", // 4
    messagingSenderId: "", // 5
};

All of the following steps start from the project main page (which can be reach by opening your project here).
0, 1:
projectId and apiKey can be both found by clicking on the Gear icon next to the Overview tab, then Project settings. In the General tab, you will see Project ID, and Web Api Key.
2:
authDomain is <projectId>.firebaseapp.com.
3:
databaseURL can be found by clicking on Database tab. It should be: https://<projectId>.firebaseio.com/.
4:
storageBucket can be found by clicking on Storage tab. It should be: gs://<projectId>.appspot.com/.
5:
messagingSenderId can be found by clicking on the Gear icon next to the Overview tab, then Project settings. In the Cloud Messaging tab, you will see Sender ID.

After these are all set properly, you can test it with the following code:
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, View, Button } from 'react-native';
import * as firebase from 'firebase';

// Initialize Firebase
const firebaseConfig = {
    // ...
};
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Button
          onPress={() => updateDB(1, 10, 20)}
          title="Update DB on Firebase"
        />
      </View>

    );
  }
}

function updateDB(userID, fieldValue1, fieldValue2) {
  firebase.database().ref(userID).set({
    field1: fieldValue1,
    field2: fieldValue2,
  });
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

Revealed: The 10 prettiest villages in Northumberland
Unique V8 MGB heads to auction
Wednesday, 20th May 2020, 1:01 pm
Updated Wednesday, 20th May 2020, 1:01 pm
A one of a kind classic MG is expected to fetch up to £40,000 when it goes up for auction later this month.
The 1981 model is one of just five "Special Edition Classic" MGBs and the only one to be fitted with the GT V8 engine.
The Special Edition Classic cars were a run of just five cars created in a joint project between British Leyland, MG Owner's Club and The Abingdon Classic Car Company. Using the final unsold cars to leave MG's Abingdon factory, a team of former MG engineers stripped them back and rebuilt them to make them more luxurious, upgrade their performance and reintroduce classic MGB design elements that had been lost over the car's 18-year production run.
Only two SEC MGBs are known to have survived the intervening decades and the one being sold by online auction The Market is the only GT V8 model in existence.

Under the bonnet is a V8 engine in updated Rover SD1 form complete with its five-speed gearbox. The interior features black leather hide and a leather and walnut veneer dashboard. Classic features that have been reintroduced include a chrome bumper in place of rubber, an earlier grill and lowered suspension to pre-1974 specifications.
Extras ordered at the time of purchase include the period glass 'sun hatch' roof, limited edition alloy wheels, map pockets, stainless steel exhaust system and bespoke Moto-Lita steering wheel. The original invoice reveals that this model cost £13,100 - more than twice the standard price of an MGB.
The auction for the car is set to run from May 21 to 28, with an estimated value of £28,000 to £40,000.
Tristan Judge, director of The Market, said: "The level of finish and quality of this car is nothing like any other MGB. It's more like an Aston Martin.
The car is the only GT V8 MGB SEC in existence (Photo: The Market)
"The SEC cars hold a special place in MGB history but few people are aware of them. With such small numbers made even less remain, which means one thing; rarity. This is a case of try to find another - it's simply impossible, this is it."

Leah's
I was torn between the sport I loved and my own thoughts and beliefs.
If you told my teen self that someday I'd undertake a gruelling 15-hour swim in chilly 16-degree water, I'd have laughed.
But 6 months ago I did just that, becoming the first British Asian woman to swim The English Channel!
Going into the swim, I was terrified. It's not like normal swimming. A 21-mile-long swim, yet rules stated that I couldn't stop at any time. So, no matter how tired I was from swimming, or how much pain I was in from the jellyfish stings, I had to keep going. Food even had to be passed to me by a long pole from the boat as physical contact was disallowed. To say it was challenging is an understatement.
I fell in love with the idea of swimming at a very young age. Fortunately, my supportive family would take me to lessons and stand poolside cheering me on. However, when I became a teenager, things changed and like most women, I became conscious of my body changing. It didn't help to hear negative comments from some of the Asian community questioning 'should she be in a swimsuit in front of boys?'.
It was a very difficult moment for me. I was torn between the sport I loved and my own thoughts and beliefs.
But I chose to persevere; I began controlling the things I would say to myself and even wrote down 5 positive things about myself every-day. I maintained this strength during my channel training. During an Asian radio station interview, a caller expressed that they didn't think it was right to swim in a swimsuit in public pools, calling my parents irresponsible for allowing me to swim. But Confucius once said, 'He who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right!' and this messaged inspired me to carry on.
I remember preparing for my 6-hour qualifier one day, worrying I'd drown or fail. After an hour and a half, frightened as the wave kept pushing me under, I waved for my coach to pull me out. I felt like a failure. I was devastated. I went home that evening and with tears streaming down my face I looked back at everything I had achieved so far. Realising my problem were the thoughts in my mind, I shook off the doubts and the next morning completed my 6-hour qualifier! I was so proud.
Not too long after this I swam the English Channel, 40 years after the first ever British Asian man!
Swimming is an amazing sport but not enough women participate. The Amateur Swimming Association report female participation from ethnic minorities to be just 7%. Not only a great way to stay fit, but regular swimming can lower stress/anxiety levels and improve sleep patterns. It empowers women through its physical and mental benefits.
Swimming helped me become more confident in my own skin and believe in myself, especially in male-dominated situations.
I used this confidence to become a founder of my own award-winning childcare company.
Swimming the Channel raised £155,000 for charity to empower young women in the Indian sex slave industry to have better futures. This is a quote I received from one of the girls:
'I was trafficked and sold by my father's friend to a brothel in West Bengal where I was repeatedly raped by 10-12 men in one night so I could be moulded to the horrendous act of sex work. I am thankful to Leah who provided 100% of my education, counselling and livelihoods training. I add her to my prayers every night.
'When women support each other, incredible things happen.'
Without swimming I could not have helped her.

Q: Wrong screen size for Retina display in Matlab I use Matlab on my MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Using get(0,'ScreenSize'), we obtain
ans =

       1           1        1440         900

instead of 1 1 2880 1800. Is there any way to work with right sizes?

A: No, 1440-by-900 is likely the correct effective value for your screen's resolution. This is the value that the OS tells applications and is not the the same as the number of pixels (sometimes referred to as the "native resolution"). However, applications also need to check if a display supports HiDPI mode (a.k.a. Retina) as well. In your case, each "retina pixel" is made up of a 2-by-2 set of raw pixels (which, in turn, each have RGB sub-pixels). Applications that are "Retina-aware" can then render certain graphics (e.g., images and video) at the the full native resolution within regions of the screen. Some more details – probably more accurately stated – can be found in this article.
There are 3rd-party solutions to run OS X at the native resolution (e.g., SwitchResX and the methods discussed here), but this of course makes everything, UI included, ridiculously tiny. If you're running one of these, Matlab should report your resolution as 2880-by-1800.
I am not aware of any Matlab options, properties, or functions that allow one to actually take advantage of advantage of a Retina display. This means that, for example, when you display an image, each of it's pixels are rendered as 2-by-2 retina pixels.

Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town (Manga) Vol 1 Review
It seems like over-powered protagonists with the skills and/or the smarts to easily destroy any obstacle in their path have become common staples in fantasy manga and anime, particularly those that take inspiration from video games, and it's easy to see why – it's a fun power fantasy that allows the audience to imagine how great it would be if they were unstoppable bad-asses. Unfortunately, this wish-fulfillment style of narrative can sometimes come at the expense of the lead character's likeability, as this type of character all too often comes off as arrogant, conceited and obnoxious. However, it's possible that Suppose A Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town (which herein I will be referring to as Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies, for brevities sake) might have found a clever way of circumventing this pitfall. Drawn by Hajime Fusemachi and based on a light novel series created by Toshio Satou, Kid From the Last Dungeon Boonies has added one little twist to the over-powered protagonist formula: what if the ultra-special champion didn't recognize they're own strength?
Lloyd has a simple dream; he wants to become a soldier so that he can be just like all of the courageous heroes that he's read about in books. There's just one problem: he's the weakest person in his village and constantly struggles with simple physical tasks, such as gathering firewood or fishing, and instead excels in domestic tasks, such as cooking and cleaning. Despite this, he's determined to pursue his dream and moves to the capital city to take the army's recruitment test. Marie, a witch who was the student of the elder of his village, agrees to let him stay with her while he's preparing for the test and she immediately notices that something is off with this supposed weakling. Lloyd has seemingly super human strength and endurance and he even knows how to use magic runes, a crazy powerful and almost entirely lost art that Marie herself had to struggle to master the basics of. To her amazement, Lloyd acts like all of his abilities are entirely average, or even pathetic, and assumes that Marie is just trying to boost his confidence when she tries to explain how awe inspiring he truly is. Turns out, the village that Lloyd grew up in isn't an average rural village, it's situated in an area filled with the most fearsome monsters imaginable and was founded by the nation's legendary heroes. Meaning, everyone who lives there is either a descendant of those famous warriors or a legendary hero themselves and, since Lloyd has only had those people to compare himself too, his perception of his own abilities is completely divorced from reality. Will Lloyd ever manage to gain some self-confidence? Or, will his lack of insight into his own abilities prove to be his Achilles heel and prevent him from achieving his goals?
This is normal lumber gathering where Lloyd comes from.
This manga is built around a single, very simple, gag: Lloyd nonchalantly pulls off some incredible feat, everyone around him freaks out or is completely bewildered by what they just witnessed and then Lloyd misunderstands their reactions and doggedly maintains the view of himself as a weakling that he's internalized after living for so long surrounded by even more amazing people. Despite its simplicity, the premise works and Kid From the Last Dungeon Boonies proves itself to be a solidly humorous and fun manga. I could see this setup potentially start to get old after a while – the joke of Lloyd being confused as to why people are showering him with presents for helping them with what he views as easy tasks, is already starting to feel a bit repetitive by the end of this volume – but, thus far, I'm enjoying the story and am interested in seeing where it will go. This is, in large part, because Lloyd is just so adorable! He has a cute design and is never mopey about his perceived lack of strength, instead maintaining a positive attitude while always being polite and considerate to those around him. He's such a genuine sweetie-pie that you can't help but root for him and I hope that he eventually comes to appreciate what he has to offer those around him.
The rest of the cast is populated with a motley crew of characters who fit neatly into common archetypes of the fantasy genre. There's the reserved girl with a tortured past who's super socially-awkward, the roguish mercenary who's only interested in money, the arrogant rich-boy who needs to learn some humility and, of course, the serious but kind of weird Commander who needs to whip them all into shape. While perhaps not super original, these characters all play off of each other in amusing ways and their wildly different reactions to Lloyd's incredible abilities, ranging from total non-comprehension to obsessive adoration, help to keep things interesting. There are also some hints of political intrigues and plots brewing behind the scenes, which have the potential to move the plot in some exciting directions and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
This manga might be something of a one-joke-pony, but it tells that joke well and the loveable lead and entertaining cast of side-characters ensure that this tale of a clueless superman remains fun from start to finish. I'd recommend this series to anyone looking for a light-hearted fantasy romp.
Final Score: 7.5 out of 10

This sounds really goofy fun review!
Thanks! Yeah, it's a pretty silly and fun little series.
That's good to know 🙂
Manga Worth Reading says:
This series (LN and Manga) always seem to be popping up on my timeline and online recommendations. Glad to see a review for it and see what it's all about. It's nice to see that the main character is actually likeable for once… and also that it's not an isekai!
Yeah, I was glad it wasn't an isekai too!
Skip and Loafer Vol 1 Review


Los Angeles should require all movie theaters, large-scale entertainment venues, airport restaurants, zoo concession stands and some other locations in the city to provide at least one vegan protein option, a city councilman said Wednesday.
Councilman Paul Koretz introduced a motion referencing a number of studies that point to the negative impacts the meat and dairy industry has on the environment, including a University of Oxford study that found if more people in the United States adopted plant-based eating it could cut greenhouse-gas emissions from food sources by 70 percent.
"I want to make it easier for us to do better around the city, as well as provide more options for people who are already following a plant-based diet," Koretz said during a news conference at City Hall.
Koretz said the motion will need to be examined by the City Attorney's Office, but he believes the move would be legal.
"We have banned plastic bags in supermarkets, and we give out three billion fewer plastic bags, and it has dramatically impacted the cleanliness of our rivers and waterways," he said.
The motion specifically would direct various city departments to report on ways to make sure at least one vegan protein option is available at all concessionaire locations at city-operated venues, parks, the Los Angeles Zoo, Meals on Wheels programs, Los Angeles International Airport restaurants, movie theaters and large-scale entertainment venues.
The motion also would direct Los Angeles World Airports to report on the feasibility of having each terminal at LAX have at least one venue with a plant-based menu.

Cops Hunt 4 in Brazen Sword Attack on NYC Street
The victim tried to run, but tripped -- and was attacked with sticks and a sword
Published August 7, 2018 • Updated on August 7, 2018 at 5:51 pm
A man was attacked in the middle of a Queens sidewalk with a sword and sticks over the weekend, authorities say
Cops are looking for four suspects; one showed a gun and threatened the victim, who tried to run but tripped; the sword then came out
All four suspects are thought to be about 18 to 24 years old. Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call Crime Stoppers
Cops are looking for four men in connection with a brazen sword attack on a man in Queens over the weekend.
The men walked up to the 26-year-old victim shortly before 7 a.m. Sunday on 123rd Street in Richmond Hill; at least one of them showed a gun and threatened him, authorities say.
The victim tried to run, but tripped -- and was attacked with sticks and a sword.
Surveillance footage shows the four suspects attacking the man as he lies on the ground. Three of them repeatedly wind up and bash him with the sword and sticks as the fourth suspect stands idly by. Then all four ran off.
The victim was taken to a hospital with serious physical injuries, authorities say. Cops say he knew his attackers, but not by name. It wasn't clear if there had been a prior argument.
All four suspects are thought to be about 18 to 24 years old. Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

The slope in the foreground is a moraine wall that was abandoned at the onset of the last glacial termination 18,350 ± 300 years ago (age is derived from the average of several 10Be ages; see Putnam et al., 2010).

Late Pleistocene ice ages comprise the greatest fluctuations in Earth's climate over the last one million years. Each ice age began gradually and ended abruptly in what have been deemed glacial 'terminations.' Accompanying terminations were massive reorganizations of oceanic and atmospheric circulation, as well as near-doublings of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The last glacial termination occurred between ~18,000 and 11,500 years ago and constitutes the most pronounced climate change of the last 100,000 years. While these impressive changes form the underlying pulse of Earth's climate over the last million years, we still do not understand why ice ages occur or why they end so spectacularly. To unravel the causes of the last ice age and the last great warming, we must know if these climate changes occurred synchronously across the planet, or if the hemispheres were anti-phased. The answer to this question has implications for understanding the underlying physics driving Earth's climate system, and for deriving the sensitivity of the atmosphere to changes in carbon dioxide concentrations.
We study the glacier history of the Southern Alps of New Zealand in an effort to understand the global expression of the last ice age. New Zealand is at the antipode of the North Atlantic region, and is thus far from where the last great ice sheets rested at the height of the last ice age. The South Island lies at the northern fringe of the Southern Ocean, astride the sub-tropical convergence, and in the main path of the westerly winds. The Southern Alps support over 3000 glaciers at present. Being distal from Northern Hemisphere ice sheets and North Atlantic Ocean circulation removes the Southern Alps from feedbacks associated with those features; thus the glaciers of the Southern Alps are particularly sensitive to radiative forcings, such as atmospheric carbon dioxide and changes in incident solar radiation due to Earth's wobble and tilt, as well as to surface temperatures of the Southern Ocean.
During the last ice age, glaciers had coalesced to form piedmont lobes that constructed an impressive array of landforms in the forelands of the Southern Alps. Moraines are ridges of debris formed at the terminus of a glacier; thus moraine ridges are useful for tracing the footprint of former glaciers on the landscape. With careful geomorphologic mapping we reconstruct the geometries of former glaciers of New Zealand. While the maps are yet to be published, an early form of the Central South Island Glacial Geomorphology (CSIGG) map can be viewed at http://maps.gns.cri.nz/website/csigg/. Glaciers of the Southern Alps respond in a straightforward manner to changes in atmospheric temperature, and thus their former extent, reconstructed from glacial geomorphology, can be used to quantify atmospheric palaeotemperatures using snowline reconstructions or glaciological modeling. We work closely with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Cosmogenic Nuclide Laboratory to develop robust chronologies of these moraine systems. We use the cosmogenic 10Be surface-exposure dating method to determine the age of each of each individual ice-marginal position by sampling the tops of boulders embedded in or resting on moraine crests. We extract the beryllium at the LDEO laboratory, and measure 10Be/9Be ratios at Lawrence-Livermore National Laboratory Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. Recent breakthroughs in the 10Be method have led to a level of precision and accuracy that rivals the exactitude of radiocarbon dating, allowing us to date surfaces as old as millions of years and as young as one-hundred years. Together, our glacial geomorphologic and geochronological approach affords the opportunity to derive a detailed and robust temperature history of the Southern Alps from the last glacial period to historical times. With such a tool we can test drivers of Southern Hemisphere climate and approach a resolution to the problem of ice ages.

Q: Hard time understanding difference between Promise.resolve() and promise chain I have some hard time understanding what is the difference between using Promise.resolve() and simple using the promise.
The explanation seems a bit hard to get so i have a little example:
For example, i have a method that return a promise like this:
requestPokemon() {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    axios.get("https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/1").then(value => {
      resolve(value);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      reject(error);
    })
  });
}

so, now i can call this method and chain the promise, i figure two ways of do it, and can't get it when Promise.resolve is better or not, my issue is understanding that.
so i solved it in two ways:
first:
Promise.resolve(this.requestPokemon()).then(value => {
  this.pokemon = value.data.name;
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
})

second:
this.requestPokemon().then(value => {
  this.pokemon = value.data.name;
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
})

please i need a little explanation of the downsides and upsides on doing it one way above the other, i appreciate the help a lot.
Thanks

A: At first you dont need to construct a promise (thats an antipattern) in your requestPromise, just return the one from axios:
  requestPokemon() {
    return axios.get("https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/1");
 }

Now lets have a look at this line:
 Promise.resolve(this.requestPokemon()).then(/*...*/)

It will create a new promise, that resolves or rejects when the axios promise resolves or rejects and adds a then handler to it. So it will be chained like this like this:
 resolve() -> Promise (axios) -> Promise (Promise.resolve) -> then
 reject() -> Promise (axios) -> Promise (Promise.resolve) -> catch

So as you can see Promise.resolve just passes through the data, so actually it is superflous. We actually just need:
 resolve() -> Promise (axios) -> then
 reject() -> Promise (axios) -> catch

Which can be done with:
 this.requestPokemon().then(/*...*/, /*...*/);

please i need a little explanation of the downsides and upsides on doing it one way above the other

Adding Promise.resolve is just a bit more typing and makes it less readable, there is no syntactical difference.

After months of waiting and theorizing, BTS' new album name has finally been released, and with it, the ARMY has already thrown themselves into decoding BTS' MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 meaning. If you know anything about the K-Pop group's fanbase—or if you're an ARMY yourself—then you should already expect that the theories are plenty. Some of them are pretty out there, but we've gathered several of the most common readings here for you to make your own informed interpretation.
A few months ago, fans were certain after the BTS "Persona" comeback trailer that Map of the Soul: Persona was part of a trilogy, much like the Love Yourself albums of 2017 and 2018. In the trailer, we saw words like "Persona," "Shadow," and "Ego written on a chalkboard—in that order—so fans only assumed that "Shadow" is next up in the list. Add this to the fact that BTS' Map of the Soul series is based on psychologist Carl Jung's ideas of Persona, Shadow, and Ego, ARMYs were certain that this new album would follow suit. But instead, we got a number: 7. What are we supposed to do with that?
Well, like the debate over whether BTS' new album would follow suit in the Persona series as either Shadow or Ego, today's argument over what the number 7 is supposed to mean has plenty of ARMYs passionate and confused. Some are convinced that 7 is still a reference to the word Ego:
"Seven is pronounced as ego in korean so in conclusion we are getting MAP OF THE SOUL: Ego AHAHJSJSKSK," wrote one Twitter user. Another tweeted, "seven in hangul is "일곱" which pronounced as "ilgob"(ego) so it's actually ego wtf." Yet others have pointed out that this might not be all too accurate. Twitter user @kimmee82 explains:
"Low key annoyed with all the 7 in Korean is ego tweets because it's not….seven in Korean is chil (칠)-Sino- or ilgop (일곱 – pronounced more like ill-gohp)-native- also native Korean numbers are for counting so it would be chil."
If we're going by that, then Ego still might not be quite right. Meanwhile, others are convinced that 7 is simply symbolic of the seven members in BTS, their upcoming anniversary, or another one of Carl Jung's works titled Seven Sermons to the Dead:
While we can't confirm that any of these interpretations are 100% right, there is one thing for certain: MOTS 7 is dropping on Feb. 21, so we'll have to stay tuned to see if any of these meanings will be confirmed then.


There are a number of site specific issues that need to be considered when trying to fix a price for any heat recovery installation. This can include the age of the property, the existing system and how difficult it is to access pipework, as well as level of insulation and the extent of building/installation work required.
The price of heat recovery also varies from domestic to business installations, as you would expect. In general terms, a domestic heat recovery and ventilation system could cost between £2,000 and £7,000 depending on the amount of work needed – the fixing of pipework, for example – and the size of the premises.
For business premises, the price of heat recovery is more difficult to assess, particularly because of the differing sizes and ages of the buildings. The cost of the ventilation unit is one aspect but the installation process is generally complex and often more invasive than other renewable technologies, with pipe work extending to all offices in the building.
A small office environment may well have comparable costs to domestic properties but larger concerns are certainly going to be pricier (and possibly offer a greater return on investment). A major hotel chain recently spent nearly £500,000 on a retro-fit of one of their large buildings, but for an average sized business you are looking at an investment of around £8,000 to £12,000.
One benefit that businesses may be able to take advantage of is the Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme that provides tax relief for companies who take up energy saving technologies.
Heat recovery systems can help reduce your carbon footprint whether in a domestic situation or for business premises. We have already mentioned that any efficiencies stated by manufacturers or installers should necessarily be treated with caution because of the variables involved, particularly in older buildings where there will be issues such as the quality of insulation.
Having said that, you can get a general idea of how a particular system is going to break even on the initial investment. According to the Carbon Trust, a heat recovery ventilation system that operates at 70% efficiency will save, on average, 38% on a company's gas bill, which could see a return on investment over two years. For domestic properties, the price of heat recovery could produce that return in around 5 years (assuming a reduction in energy bills of between 25 and 50%).
Find out more about the efficiencies of different heat recovery systems here.
The benefits of installing a heat recovery system stems from the fact that energy prices are set to rise in the future and we all need to make the best of the power that we use. In many cases, the price of heat recovery will be off-set by savings in efficiency and, if the price of gas and electricity is set to rise, this should improve dramatically over the next few years.
The Cascades Leisure Centre in Portadown was built in the 1960s and was retrofitted with a heat recovery system at an overall cost of around £200,000, including installation. The savings on energy bills for the first year were estimated to be £40,000 which would see a return on investment in a little over five years. Find out more about the installation here.
Fitting a flue economiser on your boiler can reduce wastage by 5 and 15% in some cases. A system can cost between £6-8,000 for an industrial level boiler but can produce a return on investment within 5 to 6 years.
The costs of heat pumps vary between £7,000 and £12,000 depending on the type and installation requirements and offer an efficiency saving of up to 50%. Heat pumps are also eligible for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) that rewards property owners and gives a payback per kWh produced. You can find out more about heat pumps here.
There's no doubt that with the renewables revolution we have come to understand that countering the ways we waste energy is almost as important as developing renewable technologies. The price of heat recovery is largely off-set by the long term savings on energy bills for many of our buildings, from our homes and offices, through to large industrial complexes that produce, and lose, tremendous amounts of heat.
As you will now be aware, the price of heat recovery can vary depending on a wide range of factors, including the age of your property, what you use it for, and the level of installation required. If you have done your research, and are sure that a heat recovery system is right for you or your business, then it's time to find the best installer.

We are interested in synthesizing medical agents that have anticancer and or antiviral properties. Our current focus is on the synthesis of analogous of UK-1, a natural compound that has significant anticancer activity through the inhibition of an enzyme topoisomerase II. The anticancer activity of UK-1 involves the binding of Mg2+. Similarly diketoacids, an integrase inhibitor (currently in clinical trials) inactivates the strand transfer process by binding catalytic magnesium in the active site. By employing a different magnesium binding moiety (that of UK-1) but having similar hydrophobic functions of diketoacids we hope to synthesize of compounds that may be possible topoisomerase II and HIV integrase inhibitors.

Furore over drink or 'no deal' offer
By Jane Chen | April 14, 2009, Tuesday | Online Edition
A STAFF recruiter who asked applicants if they would drink a bottle of spirits to clinch a 50,000 yuan (US$73,196.36) sales deal has provoked a furore.
The recruiter, at a job fair in Chongqing Municipality for college students, said the applicants would get a 50,000 yuan bonus as well if the deal was signed.
At the fair only one of the seven students interviewed said they would drink the alcohol. Five walked out of the interview and one was rejected by the company, according to the local newspaper Chongqing Business Daily.
The rejected student is Ran Wenli from Southwest University who told the interviewer that she would try to persuade the client to sign the deal in other ways.
"You haven't convinced me of your courage," the interviewer told her.
The unnamed official said the question was meant to test the sales skills of job seekers, as liquor drinking is often required in rural Chinese areas, where more motorcycles are sold.
But netizens have been giving different responses.
By yesterday afternoon, more than half, or 3,787 of 7,243 respondents to an online poll at Sohu.com said they would drink the bottle, compared to 16 percent, or 1,127 respondents, who said they would not.
About a third, or 2,329, described the interviewer as a total idiot.


Detron Lewis' and Lyle Leong's performances Saturday at Colorado might have been more impressive considering the individual matchups the Texas Tech receivers faced. Colorado cornerback Jimmy Smith is ranked the No. 10 overall NFL draft prospect for 2011 by NationalFootballPost.com, and CU corner Jalil Brown tied for the Big 12 Conference lead last season in passes defended in conference games.
The Web site DraftCountdown.com ranks Smith and Brown, both seniors, as the Nos. 4 and 8 cornerbacks on the board.
Lewis said Tech offensive coordinator Neal Brown made his players aware of the CU corners' reputations, and the receivers used it as motivation.
Leong, who went mostly against Smith, had a fourth-quarter touchdown catch among his five receptions. Lewis, who faced mostly Brown, caught six passes, all on Tech's final four possessions in which the Red Raiders scored three times.
Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said the receivers' ability to play tough against the Buffaloes cornerbacks the whole game made a difference.
Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said defensive tackle Chris Perry and safety-outside linebacker Terrance Bullitt "should be back" for Saturday's game against Texas A&M. Each player had surgery last week for a broken hand and missed the game at Colorado.
Defensive lineman Kerry Hyder (hamstring), who also missed the Colorado game, practiced Tuesday.
Several times Saturday, Tech made good use of pass plays to the perimeter. Flanker Detron Lewis turned quick screens into 15- and 14-yard plays, and inside receiver Alex Torres made decent yardage three times on screens.
Lewis also threw the key block that turned out-route catches by Torres into 45- and 43-yard gains.
Tech's game-winning drive started with a screen to Lewis out of a trips-right set, and Torres and Tramain Swindall cleared a path for him.

The order of go for the Deeridge Derby Weekend's $50,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby includes some intimidating names of experienced derby winners—Scott Stewart, Tori Colvin, Molly Ashe, Patricia Griffith, Havens Schatt.
But after the conclusion of the first round, young professional Meagan Murray-Tenuta is leading them all. She rode Rebecca Price's Editorial to the top of the classic round with a total score of 180.75, just a fraction of a point ahead of Kristy Herrera on Candid.
Amateur rider Rebecca Price bought Editorial to her herself, but turned the reins over to Murray-Tenuta last summer. "He started jumping too big and too high and she said I could have him. So I'm happy with that," Murray-Tenuta said. She shows the 10-year-old gray in the high performance division. Together they were fourth in the 2016 $50,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby at the Chicago Hunter Derby and they competed in the USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship (Ky.) in the fall.
Out of a class of 40 entries, Murray-Tenuta will enter the handy hunter phase tomorrow on top with Herrera and Jennifer Alfano's Candid following closely at her heels.
Herrera also stands in the eighth spot with her 2016 USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship winning partner Miss Lucy.
The top 24 combinations from the classic round will be asked to compete again tomorrow in the handy hunter round to complete the Deeridge Derby Weekend.

2023 FIH Men's Ice Hockey World Championship
By William Sen On Jan 7, 2023
There was a definite buzz when reigning champions Belgium arrived in Odisha for the FIH Odisha Men's Hockey World Cup 2023 on Friday. Belgium are drawn in Group B alongside Germany, Japan and Korea and will begin their campaign against Korea in Bhubaneswar on January 14.
Led by captain Felix Denayer, the Red Lions will be hoping to repeat their performance at the 2018 Men's Hockey World Cup and retain the trophy. If they are successful, they will become the fourth nation to win consecutive men's hockey FIFA World Cups after Pakistan (1978, 1982), Germany (2002, 2006) and Australia (2010, 2014).
Speaking about his expectations for the tournament, Denayer said: "We have prepared really well. We were in training camp in Spain where we won all our matches. Therefore, our side has great confidence that we will perform well in the tournament."
"But we know it's going to be a tough competition, so we're really excited to get started," he added. Denayer listed the teams he believes will be a tough challenge for his team and explained why retaining the trophy will not be an easy task for his team despite the long preparation for the tournament.
"I think there are a lot of favorites. Obviously, Australia and then at home the Netherlands, Germany and India are still strong opponents I think. Then there are educated teams like England and Argentina, so I don't think it will be an easy competition for anyone," he said.
The memories of the thrilling final between the Netherlands and Belgium in the 2018 World Cup are still fresh in the minds of the Belgian players. The match, which was decided by a shootout, witnessed intense drama after Arthur de Sluwer's game-winning strike in the shootout was disallowed after a review and the Belgian side had to end their celebrations midway through. – road
But Belgium goalkeeper Vincent Vansach saved Dutchman Jonas de Geus's last-ditch effort and celebrations resumed in the Belgium camp as they lifted their first World Cup trophy.
Asked whether the tournament will see such intense dramatic moments this time around, Denayer said, "Yes, I think the tournament will be tough, but we also have experience, so we feel confident and we are very hungry. to keep the trophy. We are an ambitious group. I think we need tests like this to show the best results," he said.
Belgium head coach Michel van den Heuvel said that he was happy to see the enthusiasm of Odisha fans for the upcoming tournament. At the same time, he explained why everyone loves performing in front of Indian audiences. "We love to visit Bhubaneswar again and again. This is the Indian team we play for because it is the best hockey team in the world. We came to defend the title of world champion and we prepared very well for it. We are looking forward to the start of the tournament," he said.
"The people here are always great. Everyone is so excited to be here and play for this crowd. Therefore, despite the strong support, it is not difficult to win," the coach added. Interestingly, the experienced coach Shane McLeod, who led the Belgian team to the World Cup and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, returned after a short vacation as an assistant coach with the contingent. In addition, the team has several experienced campaigners, including veteran John-John Dohmen, who has won more than 400 international tournaments.
Coach Hevel explained how having such people on the team would be beneficial to his team in the competition. "They are all very experienced and know the game. They have played here before and won the trophy. So even if we are in a difficult situation this time, their presence will help the team. It's great to have him in our team," he signed.

Volume-outcome relationship in neurotrauma care
R. Carter Clement, Brendan G. Carr, Michael J. Kallan, Catherine Wolff, Patrick M. Reilly, and Neil R. Malhotra
A positive correlation between outcomes and the volume of patients seen by a provider has been supported by numerous studies. Volume-outcome relationships (VORs) have been well documented in the setting of both neurosurgery and trauma care and have shaped regionalization policies to optimize patient outcomes. Several authors have also investigated the correlation between patient volume and cost of care, known as the volume-cost relationship (VCR), with mixed results. The purpose of the present study was to investigate VORs and VCRs in the treatment of common intracranial injuries by testing the hypotheses that outcomes suffer at small-volume centers and costs rise at large-volume centers.
The authors performed a cross-sectional cohort study of patients with neurological trauma using the 2006 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, the largest nationally representative all-payer data set. Patients were identified using ICD-9 codes for subdural, subarachnoid, and extradural hemorrhage following injury. Transfers were excluded from the study. In the primary analysis the association between a facility's neurotrauma patient volume and patient survival was tested. Secondary analyses focused on the relationships between patient volume and discharge status as well as between patient volume and cost. Analyses were performed using logistic regression.
In-hospital mortality in the overall cohort was 9.9%. In-hospital mortality was 14.9% in the group with the smallest volume of patients, that is, fewer than 6 cases annually. At facilities treating 6–11, 12–23, 24–59, and 60+ patients annually, mortality was 8.0%, 8.3%, 9.5%, and 10.0%, respectively. For these groups there was a significantly reduced risk of in-hospital mortality as compared with the group with fewer than 6 annual patients; the adjusted ORs (and corresponding 95% CIs) were 0.45 (0.29–0.68), 0.56 (0.38–0.81), 0.63 (0.44–0.90), and 0.59 (0.41–0.87), respectively. For these same groups (once again using < 6 cases/year as the reference), there were no statistically significant differences in either estimated actual cost or duration of hospital stay.
A VOR exists in the treatment of neurotrauma, and a meaningful threshold for significantly improved mortality is 6 cases per year. Emergency and interfacility transport policies based on this threshold might improve national outcomes. Cost of care does not differ significantly with patient volume.

Choosing the best operation for chronic subdural hematoma: a decision analysis
Bradley C. Lega, Shabbar F. Danish, Neil R. Malhotra, Seema S. Sonnad, and Sherman C. Stein
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), a condition much more common in the elderly, presents an increasing challenge as the population ages. Treatment strategies for CSDH include bur-hole craniostomy (BHC), twist-drill craniostomy (TDC), and craniotomy. Decision analysis was used to organize existing data and develop recommendations for effective treatment.
A Medline search was used to identify articles about treatment of CSDH. Direct assessment by health care professionals of the relative health impact of common complications and recurrences was used to generate utility values for treatment outcomes. Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analyses allowed comparisons across treatment strategies. A second simulation examined whether intraoperative irrigation or postoperative drainage affect the outcomes following BHC.
On a scale from 0 to 1, the utility of BHC was found to be 0.9608, compared with 0.9202 for TDC (p = 0.001) and 0.9169 for craniotomy (p = 0.006). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of these values. Craniotomy yielded fewer recurrences, but more frequent and more serious complications than did BHC. There were no significant differences for BHC with or without irrigation or postoperative drainage.
Bur-hole craniostomy is the most efficient choice for surgical drainage of uncomplicated CSDH. Bur-hole craniostomy balances a low recurrence rate with a low incidence of highly morbid complications. Decision analysis provides statistical and empirical guidance in the absence of well-controlled large trials and despite a confusing range of previously reported morbidity and recurrence.

Novel approach using ultrasonic bone curettage and transoral robotic surgery for en bloc resection of cervical spine chordoma: case report
Dmitriy Petrov, Michael Spadola, Connor Berger, Gregory Glauser, Ahmad F. Mahmoud, Bert O'Malley, and Neil R. Malhotra
Chordomas are rare, locally aggressive neoplasms that develop from remnants of the notochord. The typical approach to chordomas of the clivus and axial cervical spine often limits successful en bloc resection. In this case report, authors describe the first-documented transoral approach using both transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for exposure and the Sonopet bone scalpel under navigational guidance to achieve en bloc resection of a cervical chordoma. This 27-year-old man had no significant past medical history (Charlson Comorbidity Index 0). During a trauma workup following a motor vehicle collision, a CT of the patient's cervical spine demonstrated an incidental 2.2-cm lesion situated along the posterior aspect of the C2 vertebral body. Postoperative imaging showed successful en bloc resection with adequate placement of hardware, and the pathology report demonstrated negative resection margins. The patient tolerated the procedure well, and because of the successful en bloc resection, radiation has been deferred. At 7 months postoperatively, the patient returned to work in New York City. Contrasted MRI at 15 months postoperatively showed the patient to be disease free. This approach offers a promising way forward in the treatment of these complex tumors.

Navigated odontoid screw placement using the O-arm: technical note and case series
Jared M. Pisapia, Nikhil R. Nayak, Ryan D. Salinas, Luke Macyszyn, John Y. K. Lee, Timothy H. Lucas, Neil R. Malhotra, H. Isaac Chen, and James M. Schuster
As odontoid process fractures become increasingly common in the aging population, a technical understanding of treatment approaches is critical. 3D image guidance can improve the safety of posterior cervical hardware placement, but few studies have explored its utility in anterior approaches. The authors present in a stepwise fashion the technique of odontoid screw placement using the Medtronic O-arm navigation system and describe their initial institutional experience with this surgical approach.
The authors retrospectively reviewed all cases of anterior odontoid screw fixation for Type II fractures at an academic medical center between 2006 and 2015. Patients were identified from a prospectively collected institutional database of patients who had suffered spine trauma. A standardized protocol for navigated odontoid screw placement was generated from the collective experience at the authors' institution. Secondarily, the authors compared collected variables, including presenting symptoms, injury mechanism, surgical complications, blood loss, operative time, radiographically demonstrated nonunion rate, and clinical outcome at most recent follow-up, between navigated and nonnavigated cases.
Ten patients (three female; mean age 61) underwent odontoid screw placement. Most patients presented with neck pain without a neurological deficit after a fall. O-arm navigation was used in 8 patients. An acute neck hematoma and screw retraction, each requiring surgery, occurred in 2 patients in whom navigation was used. Partial vocal cord paralysis occurred after surgery in one patient in whom no navigation was used. There was no difference in blood loss or operative time with or without navigation. One patient from each group had radiographic nonunion. No patient reported a worsening of symptoms at follow-up (mean duration 9 months).
The authors provide a detailed step-by-step guide to the navigated placement of an odontoid screw. Their surgical experience suggests that O-arm–assisted odontoid screw fixation is a viable approach. Future studies will be needed to rigorously compare the accuracy and efficiency of navigated versus nonnavigated odontoid screw placement.

Cost-effectiveness of confirmatory techniques for the placement of lumbar pedicle screws
Matthew R. Sanborn, Jayesh P. Thawani, Robert G. Whitmore, Michael Shmulevich, Benjamin Hardy, Conrad Benedetto, Neil R. Malhotra, Paul Marcotte, William C. Welch, Stephen Dante, and Sherman C. Stein
There is considerable variation in the use of adjunctive technologies to confirm pedicle screw placement. Although there is literature to support the use of both neurophysiological monitoring and isocentric fluoroscopy to confirm pedicle screw positioning, there are no studies examining the cost-effectiveness of these technologies. This study compares the cost-effectiveness and efficacy of isocentric O-arm fluoroscopy, neurophysiological monitoring, and postoperative CT scanning after multilevel instrumented fusion for degenerative lumbar disease.
Retrospective data were collected from 4 spine surgeons who used 3 different strategies for monitoring of pedicle screw placement in multilevel lumbar degenerative disease. A decision analysis model was developed to analyze costs and outcomes of the 3 different monitoring strategies. A total of 448 surgeries performed between 2005 and 2010 were included, with 4 cases requiring repeat operation for malpositioned screws. A sample of 64 of these patients was chosen for structured interviews in which the EuroQol-5D questionnaire was used. Expected costs and quality-adjusted life years were calculated based on the incidence of repeat operation and its negative effect on quality of life and costs.
The decision analysis model demonstrated that the O-arm monitoring strategy is significantly (p < 0.001) less costly than the strategy of postoperative CT scanning following intraoperative uniplanar fluoroscopy, which in turn is significantly (p < 0.001) less costly than neurophysiological monitoring. The differences in effectiveness of the different monitoring strategies are not significant (p = 0.92).
Use of the O-arm for confirming pedicle screw placement is the least costly and therefore most cost-effective strategy of the 3 techniques analyzed.

Civilian gunshot wounds to the atlantoaxial spine: a report of 10 cases treated using a multidisciplinary approach
Peter Syre III, Leonardo Rodriguez-Cruz, Rajiv Desai, Karl A. Greene, Robert Hurst, James Schuster, Neil R. Malhotra, and Paul Marcotte
Gunshot wounds to the atlantoaxial spine are uncommon injuries and rarely require treatment, as a bullet traversing this segment often results in a fatal injury. Additionally, these injuries are typically biomechanically stable. The authors report a series of 10 patients with gunshot wounds involving the lateral mass and/or bodies of the atlantoaxial complex. Their care is discussed and conclusions are drawn from these cases to identify the optimal treatment for these injuries.
A retrospective review was conducted of patients presenting to the emergency rooms of 3 institutions with gunshot wounds involving the atlantoaxial spine. Mechanism of injury and neurological status were obtained, as was the extent of the osteoligamentous, vascular, and neurological injuries. Nonoperative and operative treatment, complications, and clinical and radiographic outcome were recorded. The data were then analyzed to determine the neurological and biomechanical prognosis of these injuries, the utility of the various diagnostic modalities in the acute management of the injuries, and the nature and effectiveness of the nonoperative and operative treatment modalities.
Ten patients with gunshot wounds involving the lateral mass and/or bodies of the atlantoaxial complex were identified. All but 2 patients sustained a vertebral artery injury. Each patient was evaluated using cervical radiographs, CT scans, and vascular imaging, 8 in the form of digital subtraction angiography and 2 with high-resolution CT angiography. Uncomplicated patients were treated conservatively using cervical collar immobilization, local wound care, and antibiotics. One patient was treated using a halo for instability and 1 underwent posterior fusion following a posterolateral decompression for delayed myelopathy. One patient underwent transoral resection of a bullet fragment. One patient underwent embolization for a symptomatic arteriovenous fistula and a second patient underwent a neck exploration and a jugular vein ligation. None of the patients received anticoagulation therapy. The mean follow-up duration was 13 months. All but 2 patients regained their previous functional status and all ultimately attained a mechanically stable spine.
These 10 patients represent a rare form of cervical spine penetrating injury. Unilateral gunshot wounds to the atlantoaxial complex are usually stable and the need for acute surgical intervention is rare. Unilateral vertebral artery injury is well tolerated and any information provided by angiography does not alter the acute management of the patient. Vascular complications from gunshot wounds can be managed effectively by endovascular techniques.

Comparison of CT versus MRI measurements of transverse atlantal ligament integrity in craniovertebral junction injuries. Part 2: A new CT-based alternative for assessing transverse ligament integrity
Luis Perez-Orribo, Samuel Kalb, Laura A. Snyder, Forrest Hsu, Devika Malhotra, Richard D. Lefevre, Ali M. Elhadi, Anna G. U. S. Newcomb, Nicholas Theodore, and Neil R. Crawford
The rule of Spence is inaccurate for assessing integrity of the transverse atlantal ligament (TAL). Because CT is quick and easy to perform at most trauma centers, the authors propose a novel sequence of obtaining 2 CT scans to improve the diagnosis of TAL impairment. The sensitivity of a new CT-based method for diagnosing a TAL injury in a cadaveric model was assessed.
Ten human cadaveric occipitocervical specimens were mounted horizontally in a supine posture with wooden inserts attached to the back of the skull to maintain a neutral or flexed (10°) posture. Specimens were scanned in neutral and flexed postures in a total of 4 conditions (3 conditions in each specimen): 1) intact (n = 10); either 2A) after a simulated Jefferson fracture with an intact TAL (n = 5) or 2B) after a TAL disruption with no Jefferson fracture (n = 5); and 3) after TAL disruption and a simulated Jefferson fracture (n = 10). The atlantodental interval (ADI) and cross-sectional canal area were measured.
From the neutral to the flexed posture, ADI increased an average of 2.5% in intact spines, 6.25% after a Jefferson fracture without TAL disruption, 34% after a TAL disruption without fracture, and 25% after TAL disruption with fracture. The increase in ADI was significant with both TAL disruption and TAL disruption and fracture (p < 0.005) but not in the other 2 conditions (p > 0.6). Changes in spinal canal area were not significant (p > 0.70).
This novel method was more sensitive than the rule of Spence for evaluating the integrity of the TAL on CT and does not increase the risk of further neurological damage.

Undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea as a predictor of 30-day readmission for brain tumor patients
Ian F. Caplan, Gregory Glauser, Stephen Goodrich, H. Isaac Chen, Timothy H. Lucas, John Y. K. Lee, Scott D. McClintock, and Neil R. Malhotra
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to be associated with negative outcomes and is underdiagnosed. The STOP-Bang questionnaire is a screening tool for OSA that has been validated in both medical and surgical populations. Given that readmission after surgical intervention is an undesirable event, the authors sought to investigate, among patients not previously diagnosed with OSA, the capacity of the STOP-Bang questionnaire to predict 30-day readmissions following craniotomy for a supratentorial neoplasm.
For patients undergoing craniotomy for treatment of a supratentorial neoplasm within a multiple-hospital academic medical center, data were captured in a prospective manner via the Neurosurgery Quality Improvement Initiative (NQII) EpiLog tool. Data were collected over a 1-year period for all supratentorial craniotomy cases. An additional criterion for study inclusion was that the patient was alive at 30 postoperative days. Statistical analysis consisted of simple logistic regression, which assessed the ability of the STOP-Bang questionnaire and additional variables to effectively predict outcomes such as 30-day readmission, 30-day emergency department (ED) visit, and 30-day reoperation. The C-statistic was used to represent the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which analyzes the discrimination of a variable or model.
Included in the sample were all admissions for supratentorial neoplasms treated with craniotomy (352 patients), 49.72% (n = 175) of which were female. The average STOP-Bang score was 1.91 ± 1.22 (range 0–7). A 1-unit higher STOP-Bang score accurately predicted 30-day readmissions (OR 1.31, p = 0.017) and 30-day ED visits (OR 1.36, p = 0.016) with fair accuracy as confirmed by the ROC curve (C-statistic 0.60–0.61). The STOP-Bang questionnaire did not correlate with 30-day reoperation (p = 0.805) or home discharge (p = 0.315).
The results of this study suggest that undiagnosed OSA, as assessed via the STOP-Bang questionnaire, is a significant predictor of patient health status and readmission risk in the brain tumor craniotomy population. Further investigations should be undertaken to apply this prediction tool in order to enhance postoperative patient care to reduce the need for unplanned readmissions.
