Art with a Limited Lifespan
A conversation between Marsha Pearce and Luis Vasquez La Roche
Marsha Pearce: Hi Luis, how have you been coping during this time? I know this is a particularly charged question for you as you've been completing graduate study at VCUarts, in a city that was once the capital of the confederacy for much of the US Civil War. A recent article by Vozzella and Schneider for The Washington Post observes: "No state has more statues to Southern leaders than Virginia, home to the former capital of the confederacy. And no city faces a more tortured reckoning with them than Richmond, that capital, where its most famous monuments are not tucked away in parks here and there, but showcased on a National Historic Landmark street built for that very purpose."
How, then, have you been processing your context?
Luis Vasquez La Roche: Hey Marsha, thanks for asking how I'm doing, and thanks for including me in this series of conversations. I think that is a complicated question to answer. The amount of uncertainty surrounding everyday life cannot be put into words. The Confederate monuments are just one of many moving pieces here in Richmond. COVID-19 cases are still rising. International students were almost deported by ICE. The death of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd and the many Black lives taken by the police. The violent and oppressive reaction of the police and the government against the Black Lives Matter movement. The repeated acts of violence and murders against transgender people like Riah Milton and Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells, and the list goes on. It is impossible to think about each one of these separately.
To tell you the truth, it was truly amazing to see five monuments come down in Richmond by the hands of the people. After the Governor and Mayor of Virginia promised to take down the rest of the monuments, they diverted attention from real matters like defunding the police, police brutality, and mass evictions. I am happy to see them come down, but the other side is there are a lot of unemployed people and people are being evicted from their homes. It is strange to witness a monument coming down, while on the other side of the city, people are clashing with the police because of eviction laws. We are in this in-between space where COVID-19 cases are rising, and the country is reopening and easing up on preventive measures, forcing folks to go back to work, and a lot of people are getting sick. It is bittersweet.
Something I appreciate is how people have reclaimed the space where the monuments are. The roundabout where the statue of General Lee stands was renamed: Marcus David-Peters circle. David-Peters was a teacher who was killed by Richmond Police while he had a mental health emergency in 2018. Also, most of the bases have been covered with graffiti. People have created altars and have projected on the monument the words BLM and images of Harriet Tubman, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, amongst many others. Again, it is great to see them come down but let's not forget there are over 200 symbols of the Confederacy throughout Virginia.
You recently activated a new performance work titled OYA-9394. With this work you make interventions in public sites dressed in a spacesuit – it seems to reference an Afrofuturist discourse. Is this work attending to survival and spatial concerns, as they relate to Black and Brown people? Does the title draw on the Yoruba Orisha Oya? I would love to hear about this work.
The concept for OYA-9394 began with me reflecting on Octavia Butler's Parables series (Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents), Christina Sharpe's In the Wake: On Blackness and Being and my current reality as a Black person. I began reading Butler's book in January, and while reading the book and comparing it with what was happening, it felt prophetic. I began thinking about space exploration and who it benefits. In Parable of the Sower, the character Lauren Olamina says: "As far as I'm concerned, space exploration and colonization are among the few things left over from the last century that can help us more than they hurt us."1 I interpret Olamina's words as hope for human beings to be able to survive extinction, but I think space exploration is something meant to benefit mostly White folks – people with wealth and power. You might say I am not very optimistic but it is a matter of observing what is happening around us every day. Capitalism keeps pushing the limits of what this planet can withstand.
The population keeps growing, cities are expanding, but I believe we should scale down. If some day part of the human population leaves earth there will not be much left for the ones who are left behind. We would need to develop further methods of survival. As I continue to reflect on Afrofuturism and alternative futures, what keeps coming to mind is the development of space(s) that are inclusive, the destruction or restructuring of capitalism, and the decolonization and unlearning of many beliefs that have brought us to where we are today. Many times, I have tried to imagine what the world would look like without capitalism, and even today, I have difficulty envisioning what that might be.2 As I look at my past and my present, I cannot think about utopian futures.
Therefore, focusing on the idea of a dystopian future, I consider the OYA suit a type of armour, a protective suit made with materials I can find on earth. The prototype is assembled from three chemical-resistant overalls, an acrylic dome as a helmet, and a waterproof backpack. In the second prototype, I use shock survival blankets to create the overall and AC aluminum tape. In this version, I cover my helmet to conceal my identity with a black veil. I recently walked the Slave Trail in Richmond dressed in the OYA-9394 suit, and I made offerings along my path.
The name of the suit does draw from the Yoruba Orisha Oya. Cuban writer Pedro Pérez Sarduy says: "rituals are the communication vessels with our origins."3 In recent works, I attempt to bridge my art practice with part of my beliefs. A text I keep coming back to in the past few months is Martine Syms "The Mundane Afrofuturist Manifesto."4 It really helped me shape my ideas around Afrofuturism. I was also lucky enough to meet and be in a show with Alisha Wormsley. Something I constantly think about after talking to her is healing and self-care – something very important to keep present in these times.

You mentioned capitalism – I want us to talk about that. As we consider injustices of subjugation across the globe, capitalism features greatly in the conversations. I believe you tackle this subject head-on in your performance work Bricks, Palm Oil, Gunpowder, and Lemon. What can you tell me about this work?
I cannot speak about Bricks, Palm Oil, Gunpowder, and Lemon without mentioning a parallel piece I have been working on called The Impossibility. I have used palm oil in several works. Palm oil, combined with gunpowder and lemon juice, was poured over slaves to cover bruises and marks before they were sold.5 There is an interesting layering that happens here with palm oil as a commodity but also the enslaved as a commodity. Previously, in a performance, I covered my body with palm oil. The obvious next step was to create casts in an attempt to merge these two – efforts explored in The Impossibility, which is a monument I recently created. While walking in Richmond, I started picking up bricks to use as a base to place my casts. Part of my research led me to the history of the brick in the US, where slaves would harvest clay from the James River in Virginia to make bricks.6 Based on the research I decided to create a monument, where the casts would lay on top of another to impart the sense of a pile of bodies. Eventually, these palm oil body casts melt and disappear. The large cube/base made of 1000-1400 bricks is the only thing that would remain, giving the sense of a removed monument.
In Bricks, Palm Oil, Gunpowder, and Lemon I activate the material through a performance where I build the wall's foundation with the bricks I collected and use the palm oil, gunpowder and lemon mixture as mortar. Then I select a person from the audience to complete the building of the wall. The wall must be constructed in its entirety by one person. The individual chosen to build must be a white male. The final artwork version is a collapsed wall, no matter at what stage the performance ended. The wall is never meant to remain standing. The artwork is located in the interaction between the audience and me. The building of the wall becomes a mechanism to speak about ideas of free labour (emotional and physical), capitalism, and the sharing of labour. I repeatedly push down the incomplete wall until it gets fully built as an analogy of the ongoing collapse and reconstruction of capitalism – over its very debris. Capitalism is driven by a long history of gentrification, racism, and exploitation.

I've seen a progression of your work since you started graduate school. I remember your telling me that you took a performance class with Guadalupe Maravilla. Your practice now embraces the performative. How do you understand the role of performance art? What is its significance to your developing practice, and how is it shaping your ideas?
My practice was characterized by video, drawing, and installation. When I started graduate school, my practice took a turn to sculpture and performance. I became interested in the history of materials. In 2016, in the itinerant seminar in Beta-Local Puerto Rico, one of the things we regularly spoke about was what was native to the land and what was not. I began to research what else was brought from West Africa.7 That is how I developed an interest in palm oil. I initially created text drawings, but I realized the material had more potential than just being a 2D representation. I paid attention to the smell, texture, experiencing how it changes color over time, and how it solidifies and melts according to the temperature. So, I began creating these works where people can do more than just admire them.
Performance becomes an opportunity to share my relationship with my works, to activate the audience's senses through sounds, smells, actions, movements, and words. Guadalupe's class was such a tremendous help, especially since I have never done performance in the past. What was also very helpful was all my other colleagues taking the course. All of us created a safe space where we could be vulnerable and experiment without holding back. Trust was such a large part every time we got together. I was also lucky to have a great graduate committee . We had really great conversations. They challenged my ideas to make sure I was thinking about every detail of my performances. When I am creating work, I don't necessarily set out to make a performance. Still, performance seems to make its way into whatever I am making.
You spoke a bit about your piece The Impossibility, which is a monument. How are you thinking about monuments in our present context? What are your thoughts on monumentality in the Caribbean? I recall your work El Amarillo Representa el Oro (The Yellow represents the Gold), which advocated an ephemeral or intangible monument.
Part of my thesis touches on this subject, but before I came to graduate school I was already thinking about people's relationships with monuments and memorials in Trinidad and Tobago. I have been closely following what is happening with the Christopher Columbus statue in Port of Spain and I've been reading the different points of view from people on social media to the Spanish Ambassador in Trinidad. My position when it comes to monuments is to take them down – all of them. I am not sure if a monument does what it is expected to do, but I also believe there are more productive ways to commemorate or remember something historical. I believe revising the way we teach certain aspects of our history is more important. There is a need to revise how history is written; what is included, and the things we have decided to omit. 90% of everything I created in the past two years does not exist anymore. I am still wrestling with the idea of what it means to create something that might outlive me. I think people like the idea of being remembered long after they are dead, but we are all here for a split second. I like the idea of my work only having a limited lifespan. I don't want to die and leave all my junk for the next generation to figure out what to do with it.

Just read an interesting post from Software Promotions about Google Instant and AdWords. Looks like currently, if the user stops typing for 3 seconds, any displayed AdWords ads count as impressions. Obviously that can really change the CTR and Quality score of AdWords advertisers… Hopefully Google will change this in the future.

How to shave decades off your biological age with a lifelong fitness regime
by Nicky Pellegrino / 24 February, 2019

RelatedArticlesModule - reduce your biological age
New research shows that starting early is the key to being biologically younger, but it's rarely too late to begin.
To mark his 80th birthday, Gavin Riley ran to the top of Te Mata Peak. Okay, he didn't run all the way, although he would have liked to. Restricted blood flow in his legs means such a feat is beyond the Havelock North octogenarian these days. Still, he did run the final 200m to the summit and his regular weekly exercise routine would put many people half his age to shame.
Riley has been a runner most of his life. He started racing in his early schooldays in the 1940s and even in his busiest years, working full-time as a journalist and raising four children, he ran to and from work to keep fit.
"I feel more alive when I'm running than when I do anything else," says Riley, now 82. He believes the mantra that all of us should live by is "wear out, don't rust out". Despite creaky knees, the claudication in his legs that causes them to cramp, and damaged vertebrae in his back from running on hard roads in thin-soled shoes back in the 1960s before modern trainers, he keeps pounding the pavements. These days, he heads out for 40 minutes of alternate walking and running three days a week and supplements that with a series of strengthening and flexibility exercises, including a lot of single leg squats and planking, in his garage.
The sitting disease is creating a generation of weaklings. Here's how to beat it
by Donna Chisholm
Health crises set two women on the fitness trail – and they've never looked back
"It totals six hours a week over five days," he says.
Riley admits his family think he is obsessed. "Someone did point out to me that all the hours of exercising may add up to far more than any extra lifespan. But I like the feeling of being fit. And it slows down the diminishing of your quality of life. Keeping mobile is what it's all about."
At his peak in the 1970s, Riley was running more than 200km a week. Even at 57, he came third in a 24-hour race in Tauranga, and he didn't retire from racing until he was 62. He believes his continued regimen is what keeps him healthy.
"I have low blood pressure, low cholesterol and a low heart rate. The only medication I take is a statin as protection against possible blocking of my narrowed arteries. I'm convinced from my many years of experience that aerobic exercise in some form can slow the ageing process for almost everyone," he says.
Increasingly, science is backing him. According to the latest research, lifelong fitness devotees such as Riley are biologically about 30 years younger than their chronological ages.

Measuring health benefits
Scott Trappe is the director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University in Indiana. He has long been focused on the effects of aerobic and strength training on people in later life.
"Between 70 and 80 is when the major decline starts to happen," Trappe says.
Recently, he realised he had the opportunity to do something different. Thanks to the running boom of the 1970s, lifelong exercisers were ageing into the category he was most interested in.
"So, I started going to races to meet these people. They'd win the 70-plus category and I'd introduce myself. From there it snowballed, with them recruiting their training buddies for us."
Trappe ended up with 28 people, including seven women. These weren't elite athletes, just enthusiasts who had combined their hobby with busy careers and family lives, continuing to run, cycle or swim whenever they had the chance.
"They loved to exercise and had stuck with it their whole life. We felt this was the first opportunity to begin to quantify what some of the health benefits of that are when you are, say, 75 years old."
For comparison, he recruited a second group of healthy, active people in their twenties and a third group of age-matched older people who weren't involved in structured exercise programmes but were still active and engaged with life.
Tellingly, there were no sedentary participants among this age-matched group. A lifetime of inactivity had already taken too great a toll on the rejects. "Those people were super-diseased and on multiple medications," says Trappe. "They just weren't healthy enough to be in the study."
It is a disturbing change Trappe has seen since he started out in ageing research. "Twenty-five years ago, when we would recruit people to do a training study, obesity wasn't such an issue and people weren't on so many medications. If they had good genes, then they were doing quite well. Now, we have this whole other sector of unhealthy people that are just not engaged at all. So, our older age-matched non-exercisers were still a health-elite group of people."
Trappe brought all of them into the lab and measured their cardiovascular health. Each participant also had a muscle biopsy to examine the capillary network – the micro vessels that allow blood to flow through the muscle – and the activity of two key aerobic enzymes, all of which generally declines with age.
What he found surprised him. Looking at the muscle data, you couldn't pick which was the young group and which was the older lifelong exercisers. "And the cardiovascular systems of the lifelong exercisers were also better than I would have predicted," he says. "They were three decades younger in terms of overall physiology. They looked like middle-aged people."
Researcher Scott Trappe: "Most important is that you enjoy whatever you do enough to want to work out for at least 30 to 45 minutes a day." Photo/Supplied
Greater reserve
One of the advantages of having a bigger cardiovascular engine is it means a person has a greater reserve, meaning they can rebound more successfully from adverse life events such as periods of illness.
"There's a sort of aerobic frailty threshold," says Trappe. "The data is pretty clear that when you dip below this theoretical threshold, that's the big transition between independence and dependence. Once you're at those very low thresholds, it's really difficult to get back above them. So, that's a game-changer and it's why having a reserve is key."
Of course, exercise can hurt the body, too. "There's no question that the pounding over the years from running is hard on a variety of skeletal functions," says Trappe. "For most of the people in this category, the orthopaedics had let them down. But they had adapted as they went through life and found ways to keep going. Some had switched modes, so we had a lot of cyclists. Others were still running but complementing it with other forms of exercise to make up total volume."
All of this is good news for Trappe, who, at 52, is a triathlon enthusiast, making time for regular workouts despite working long hours and having a busy family life. He manages it by cutting out other things he has realised he can do without. So, no more watching sport on TV.
"The pay-off is I get to spend more time exercising, which brings me more joy than sitting watching other people exercise. You just have to make these choices."
Trappe is continuing to work with the same group of people. He is looking at the genetic response to exercise and how that differs as we age. And he is challenging his participants with resistance training to examine other measures such as muscle mass. The preliminary data is looking just as encouraging.
For many of us, it is too late to establish any sort of longevity of fitness. But, as Trappe's previous research has shown, there really isn't any point where you don't reap some health benefits from starting on a regular fitness programme.
"Even when you get into your eighties, you still benefit, although those benefits aren't as robust as when you're young."
As for the type of exercise you choose, Trappe says a mix of aerobic and strength training is ideal, but probably most important is that you enjoy whatever you do enough to want to work out for at least 30 to 45 minutes a day.
"There is no one formula that is perfect for everyone. Some are more into running, some cycling, weight training, walking, yoga or whatever. All these things are beneficial so long as you're consistent. At the end of the day, exercise wins. It has so many positive systemic benefits."
Among its many benefits, physical exercise has been shown to have a positive effect on brain metabolism, delaying cognitive decline. It increases the size of the hippocampus, the part of the brain controlling short-term memory. A recent Swedish study concluded that women with high physical fitness in middle age are 88% less likely to develop dementia years later. And there is evidence that even 10 minutes of gentle exercise is enough to improve memory function.
Aerobic activity even keeps our cells young – a recent experiment by German cardiologists showed that men and women who jog or do interval training have longer telomeres in their white blood cells. Telo-meres are the caps that protect the tips of the chromosomes from damage during cell division. They shorten and fray as we age and many scientists believe telomere length is a useful measure of a cell's functional age.
Retirement fund
Humans are simply meant to move. We evolved as hunter-gatherers covering 9km- 14km a day to find our food. So perhaps it shouldn't be so surprising that researchers now believe that a lack of fitness is worse for your long-term outlook than smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Wael Jaber, a cardiologist and researcher at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, says being unfit should be treated almost as a disease. He is the senior author of a recent study in which the data of 120,000 people who had undergone treadmill stress testing was retrospectively examined. In the US, it is common to be required to take one of these tests as part of an insurance plan if you operate heavy machinery, drive trucks on highways or fly planes, so they were a mixed bag of patients, some healthy and fit, others diseased.
Patients were tracked for between three and 24 years.
"We didn't measure the kind of exercise they were doing, how long or what type, only how fit they were on that day," says Jaber. "And the fittest people lived the longest.
"The fitter you get, the more your risk continues to drop; you can't be too fit according to this test. To our surprise, we found it was predictive in every age group but most predictive in the elderly and women. People who are below average fitness are dying earlier."
Jaber sees it as almost like a retirement fund. "If you've been depositing in the fitness bank all along and you are fit as an older person, then you are cashing in in terms of mortality."
Havelock North's Riley doesn't come from an especially long-lived family. He lost his mother at 41 to cancer and his father at 66 from pneumonia and a heart attack.
"I firmly believe that with my ordinary genes, I would either be dead or in a worn-out physical and mental state without the vigorous physical fitness routine I've persevered with," he says.
As it is, Riley has a zest for life. He fits a lot into each day without getting tired and recently passed a medical to enable him to keep his driver licence, with the highest memory test score the medical centre had ever recorded for someone his age.
It takes a bit longer for him to recover from a workout and he steers clear of running and walking up steep hills, as it is too hard on his knees.
"But exercise is still a good feeling," says Riley. "Even on a winter's day, I go out and enjoy it."

Gavin Riley's fitness tips
'A little and often' is far better than 'a lot infrequently'.
Steady running is highly beneficial for developing an efficient cardiovascular system. But running isn't for everyone. The best single form of exercise is brisk walking. If that doesn't appeal, try swimming, aqua-jogging, cycling or gym workouts.
Decide how many exercise sessions you're prepared to do a week and make them become a habit, like cleaning your teeth.
Try not to miss a planned session. One missed session will not mean any loss of fitness, but if not backed by a good reason, will represent a defeat of attitude. One missed session can easily lead to another, and another.
Document your exercise schedule and your workouts in a diary. It's amazing how doing so will keep you honest, as well as being a record of your progress if you decide to increase your workload over time. My current training diary goes back to 1994.
Keeping physically fit involves an outpouring of physical energy. Yet achieving physical fitness is entirely a mental matter – where the mind leads resolutely, the body has to follow.
Work out frequently, and don't overdo it in any one session. "A little and often" is far better than "a lot infrequently".
Even if you're well into retirement, don't shrink from vigorous exercise. In searching the internet for advice on how much running I should be doing at 80-plus, I found none. But I did find this commonsense encouragement from a sports-minded doctor: "If a well-loved form of exercise does provoke sudden death in an 80-year-old, this is a more pleasant end than many alternative ways of dying."

DOI: https://doi.org/10.7812/TPP/15-242; and Hanaway P. Form follows function: A functional medicine overview. Perm J 2016 Fall;20(4):16-109. DOI: https://doi.org/10.7812/TPP/16-109.
In the Fall 2016 edition of The Permanente Journal (TPJ), one case report1 and one editorial2 were published on the topic of functional medicine. As Permanente physicians who aspire to practice medicine in an evidence-based manner, we were surprised to see these articles published in TPJ. Although we understand that TPJ tries to give voice to areas of medicine that are innovative and provide different perspectives, there are several unsubstantiated claims across these articles that we hope will not be broadly incorporated in practice by Permanente physicians.
7. Structural integrity (membranes, fascia, bacterial translocation).
The patient in the case was assessed with a Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis 2.0 (CDSA 2.0) and a Nutritional Evaluation (NutrEval) by Genova Diagnostics.a Plotnikoff and Barber1 claim that these tests offer insight into the patient's functional status with regard to several of the proposed core pathways comprising functional medicine. The patient was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency, low normal dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS), pancreatic insufficiency, and persistent Candida glabrata overgrowth in the stool. His treatment included pancreatic enzyme support, probiotics, a diet rich in prebiotiocs, and four weeks of daily fluconazole. Although the case report documents improvement in patient-reported outcomes scores across three scales (Brief Fatigue Inventory, Brief Pain Inventory, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9), attributing this improvement to the multitude of interventions presented in Table 3 of the article, "Stool and urine metabolic testing results and therapeutic interventions," is dubious. Association is not necessarily causation.
Sackett et al3 provided the classic definition of evidence-based medicine as, "… the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients." We find it somewhat audacious for Plotnikoff and Barber to quote Sackett in their conclusions. Case reports and suppositions do not represent best evidence, and conclusions based on them are not broadly generalizable to larger groups of patients. In Hanaway's editorial,2 we noted with interest that randomized controlled trials comparing functional medicine with current standard care are underway at the Cleveland Clinic. But unless and until such clinical trials demonstrate efficacy of the functional medicine approach, we believe TPJ should not encourage Permanente physicians to incorporate functional medicine into clinical practice as it has done implicitly by publishing this case study and editorial.

I thank the authors of the letter to the editor for sharing their concerns. And I thank the editors of The Permanente Journal for this chance to respond.
The letter's authors affirmed their commitment to compassionate patient care and their aspiration to practice in an evidence-based manner. They also acknowledged the challenge of chronic, complex illness that evades easy answers.
I respond as a fellow clinician who also believes in clinical trials. I will continue to conduct and publish them. However, I recognize that clinical trials can only result in our capacity to state that, on average, for most people, intervention X can be helpful for condition Y. What if your patient is neither average nor the subject of a single intervention for a single condition? Additionally, since the Number Needed to Treat (NNT) for benefit for a single disease is rarely 1, there are still many patients with complex, multidimensional, intractable illness for whom the best existing evidence may not result in significant clinical improvement.
The bottom line is that the results from a randomized controlled trial are, at best, useful surrogate markers for clinical effectiveness.
And such was the case with the 72-year-old gentleman in this case. Despite years of intensive and expensive evaluations, he literally arrived in my office with multiple intractable symptoms that had worsened over time. A review of the medical literature did not generate any randomized controlled trials for his constellation of symptoms. However, a functional medicine perspective enabled me to ask different questions. Thus, I could generate different hypotheses that were grounded in the basic sciences, subject to laboratory measurements, and amenable to low-cost, low-toxicity interventions that could be monitored and modified.
When I called the patient to inform him that our case was published, I asked him how he was doing. "Great!" he responded. "My sons just took me skydiving for my 75th birthday!" Needless to say, enjoying this birthday treat1 was inconceivable 3 years ago.
Publication of this case study is not an implicit encouragement to change practice. My intent is both to ignite curiosity and to generate a dialogue among fellow clinicians. Why? Should there be patients with complex, chronic, intractable, and expensive symptoms that have not responded well to the best efforts of multiple physicians practicing the best evidence-based interventions, there may be value in asking different questions.

I read with interest the letter from Drs Robbins, Elder, Kuhr, and Hoskinson. I appreciate their passion to respond to Plotnikoff's case report,1 but I am perplexed by statements about "unsubtantiated claims," which are not specifically delineated.
Many recent expressions of evidence-based medicine move away from the inclusion of clinical expertise and patient preference. Yet these elements remain an essential part of current clinical practice. Must they be excluded from our evaluation/investigation of clinical practice?
The use of case studies following CARE Guidelines3 allows us, as clinicians, to share important observations, including those from systems-based approaches that generate hypotheses for RCTs. A challenge for our next step in clinical research is that patients with multiple comorbidities are inherently difficult, if not impossible, to randomize. Needed now are next-generation studies to evaluate clinical effectiveness. One value-based example is the measurement of both outcomes and cost. At the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine we measure outcomes through function, symptoms, and patient activation. Outcomes divided by cost (ie, claims-based data) equals "value." This approach is part of the framework for comparative effectiveness that is the basis for clinical trials to be published from our clinical operations, ranging from case series to randomized controlled trials.
I applaud The Permanente Journal for creating the opportunity to respond to this heartfelt inquiry and to offer the opportunity for its readers to engage in dialogue about new and innovative approaches to helping our patients.


were delayed for years because of contradictory animal research.
Another case is asbestos-induced lung cancer.31 The first reports of an association between asbestos and lung cancer came from America, England and Germany during the 1930s following examination of people who had died with the lung disease asbestosis. By 1938 there were six reported cases and five years later the German government declared asbestos- induced lung cancer an occupational disease. But in some countries, notably the United States, the carcinogenic action of asbestos was doubted until the 1960s because it proved impossible to induce the disease in animals. By 1955, six separate animal studies had been carried out but only one appeared to show that asbestos might cause cancer and even this was discredited by scientists. Researchers were also concerned that the early autopsy findings might not be representative of all asbestos workers. The issue should have been resolved in 1949 when more cancer cases were found among workers seeking compensation for asbestosis than for silicosis, and again in 1955 when Doll reported the incidence of lung cancer in asbestos workers was ten times that in the general population. But the debate continued. Only in 1967 were experimenters finally able to induce cancer in animals by dosing them with asbestos.

Q: how to sort a series with positive value in assending order and negative value in descending order I have a series tt=pd.Series([-1,5,4,0,-7,-9]) .Now i want to sort 'tt'.
the positive values sort  in assending order and negative values sort in descending order.Positive values is in front of negative values.
I want to get the following result.
4,5,0,-1,-7,-9

Is there a good way to get the result?

A: You want to sort on tt <= 0 first.  Notice this is True for negatives and zero, False for positives.  Sorting on this puts positives first.  Then sort on tt.abs().  This puts the smallest sized numbers first.
df = pd.concat([tt, tt.abs(), tt.le(0)], axis=1)
df.sort_values([2, 1])[0]

2    4
1    5
3    0
0   -1
4   -7
5   -9
Name: 0, dtype: int64

A: This is a bit too extended but it gets you your desired output:
import pandas as pd

tt=pd.Series([-1,5,4,0,-7,-9])

pd.concat((tt[tt > 0].sort_values(ascending=True), tt[tt <= 0].sort_values(ascending=False)))

Out[1]:
0    4
1    5
2    0
3   -1
4   -7
5   -9

Hope this helps.


This model solves the Poisson equation on a unit disk with a point source in the origin. The easiest way to describe a point source in COMSOL Multiphysics is by using an extra weak term.
To obtain the weak formulation of the general Poisson equation, we multiply it with a test function u_test and integrate over the domain. The mesh density is dense, close to the origin, so as to resolve the singularity. The solution is compared to the analytical solution.

Q: glutReshapeFunc() doesn't make any change I'm trying to keep same ratio of viewport on different window resolutions. For that I use glutReshapeFunc() with reshape() as its argument. reshape() is called, and calculations seem to be correct, but viewport ratio isn't preserved.
Also, reshape() settings applied on launch, but when I change size of the window, viewport seems to be dropped to its default values.
How to fix it?
Here's the code:
const int windowWidth = 1200;
const int windowHeight = 600;

const int viewRatio = windowWidth/windowHeight;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    glutInit(&argc, argv);

    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH);
    glutInitWindowSize(windowWidth, windowHeight);
    glutCreateWindow("Scene");

    glutDisplayFunc(display);
    glutReshapeFunc(reshape);

    initialise();

    glutMainLoop();

    return 0;
}

void initialise(void) {
    glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

    glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
    glLoadIdentity();

    gluPerspective(60.0, ((float)windowWidth)/((float)windowHeight), 1.0, 20.0);
}

void reshape(int width, int height) {
    (viewRatio > width/height) ? glViewport(0, 0, width, width/viewRatio) : glViewport(0, 0, height*viewRatio, height);
}

void display(void) {
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

    glPushMatrix();
        gluLookAt(
            0.0, 0.0, 10.0,
            0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
            0.0, 1.0, 0.0
        );

        // TODO: Implement the scene
        glutSolidSphere(3.0, 20, 20);
    glPopMatrix();

    glutSwapBuffers();
    glutPostRedisplay();
}

A:
const int viewRatio = windowWidth/windowHeight;
[...]
(viewRatio > width/height) ? glViewport(0, 0, width, width/viewRatio) : glViewport(0, 0, height*viewRatio, height);

Don't use integers and integer arithmetic when you clearly need fractional values.

'Scream 6' Isn't Just Gory, It's '100 Times Gorier' Than Any 'Scream' Movie: The Directors 'Were Always Asking for More Blood'
Ghostface is back, and blood is going to flow. Lots of blood. "Scream 6" cast member Melissa Barrera recently told Collider that the upcoming sequel has the potential to be 100 times gorier than any previous entry in the long-running horror franchise. According to the actor, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett were always asking to increase the amount of blood on set.
"There was a saying on set because directors Matt [Bettinelli-Olpin] and Tyler [Gillett] were always asking for more blood and more sweat," Barrera said. "They always just wanted more. 'More blood spritz' was the saying because they would just always want more."
Sidney Prescott 'References' Remain in 'Scream 6' After Neve Campbell's Exit Over Unfair Offer: 'She's Missed and Thought Of'
Setting 'Scream 6' in New York City Makes the Franchise '20 Times More Mortifying... It's Awful,' Says Melissa Barrera
How Filmmaker Benjamin Millepied and Nicholas Britell Used Choirs to Help 'Carmen' Sing
"With the last 'Scream,' they were tip-toeing and trying to be very respectful of what the franchise had been, up until that point, and keeping their inner gory dreams at bay," Barrera added. "But with this one, they were like, 'We're going all out.' It's potentially a hundred times gorier."
Barrera made her "Scream" debut in the fifth installment, which opened in January 2022 and earned $140 million at the worldwide box office. Her character, Sam, will return in "Scream 6" alongside other 2022 new additions Jenna Ortega (Tara), Jasmin Savoy Brown (Mindy) and Mason Gooding (Chad). The sixth installment will follow the quartet of characters as they leave Woodsboro behind and attempt to start a fresh chapter in New York City.
"Ghostface gets a lot more intimidating," Ortega said of the "Scream 6" script earlier this year. "I just read part of the script, and it just gets more and more gory. I think that this is probably the most aggressive and violent version of Ghostface we've ever seen, which I think will really be fun to shoot."
Barrera told Collider in September that moving the franchise out of the fictional town of Woodsboro for the first time and setting the sequel in New York City will make the sequel all the more horrifying.
"It's like 20 times more mortifying," Barrera said. "It's awful. Because you also see how, in a city like New York City, everyone is kind of doing their own thing and someone is screaming for help, and no one will come to their help."
Barrera continued, "No one comes to help them, you know, like, everyone's kind of like, 'I'm not getting into that.' So it's mortifying, because you're chased by Ghostface, but you also see humanity and how that reacts in a situation like that. Anyway, I think I've already probably said too much."
Paramount Pictures has set a March 10, 2023 release date for "Scream 6."
Hundreds of ribbons were tied to the railings outside St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney on Wednesday, February 1, for victim-survivors of child sexual abuse ahead of Cardinal George Pell's funeral on Thursday.Footage by Sydney-based satirist and activist Pauline Pantsdown shows the colorful ribbons outside the cathedral. Paul Auchettl can be seen at the end of the footage.According to the ABC, Auchettl was a witness at the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse who travelled to Rome with a group of survivors to witness Pell giving evidence to the Royal Commission in 2016.The commission found Pell knew of allegations of offending in the Ballarat diocese as early as 1973, when he was Episcopal Vicar for Education, which Pell rejected.Auchettl, who is reportedly a survivor of child sexual abuse, organised the ribbon tying event and said it was not a protest aimed at Pell, but a reminder of the church's debt to victims and their families, according to the ABC."I've come to Sydney to tie ribbons for people who are too sick to be here, and who aren't alive anymore, and for their families who are too angry to be here."Pell's body was lying in state on Wednesday before his funeral mass on Thursday. A separate funeral mass was held for Pell in Rome after he died there in early January aged 81. Credit: Pauline Pantsdown via Storyful

"Great WordPress plugin for managing affiliate sales through another ecommerce plugin."
AffiliateWP works pretty well out of the box with minimal configurations necessary. We needed a professional looking affiliate system for a WordPress site, and AffiliateWP covers most of our needs. Works well with both WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads, and the generated markup for frontend elements is clean and easy for a developer to customize or integrate with an existing theme.
The "Creatives" section added through the plugin functionality leaves a lot to be desired. Doesn't seem fair to complain about this considering the plethora of other features the plugin has but this area seems to have the most obvious room for improvement. Being able to provide more to affiliate users in terms of helping them sell products or having more ready to go ads with affiliate links would be nice to see.
If you need an affiliate marketing program and already have a WordPress site, you should try AffiliateWP!
Not having to have a custom tracking system developed and implemented was good enough alone, but AffiliateWP provides additional features that make the actual affiliates appreciate it, too. Providing immediate updates regarding tracking, referrals, commissions, etc, puts a lot of people at ease. The cost savings with using the plugin compared to custom building something similar is a huge benefit.
"Great for my use right now "
Great for my use right now. I love the automatic payouts, and how I can have them scaled.
I don't like the design of the plugin for the end user, I think it could be simplified, look much better, and be more useful for me.
* We monitor all AffiliateWP reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. Validated reviews require the user to submit a screenshot of the product containing their user ID, in order to verify a user is an actual user of the product.
Hi there! Are you looking to implement a solution like AffiliateWP?


According to MobyLives, former Penguin Canada president David Davidar is starting his own publishing house. Based out of Dehli, India, Aleph Book Company is a partnership with major Indian publisher and distributor Rupa Publications.
Davidar left Penguin a year ago after being asked to leave the company, following charges of sexual harassment brought against him by a former employee.
At the time, Davidar claimed he was quitting Penguin to focus on writing his third novel. Ithaca (McClelland & Stewart) follows the rise and fall of a publishing star. The book is scheduled for release in October.


Dave and Jamie take a look at Jose Mourinho's firing, and discuss some of football's greatest managers. Dave breaks out a notable impression as well (18:43).
Dave and Jamie discuss away days in football, and some of their favourite grounds they've visited over the years. There is a special shoutout from Dave for Rochdale announcer Dave Sweetmore, while Jamie talks about Caversham United and their social media presence.
Jamie has an apology for Dave, before selecting this episode's topic for a change. In another dramatic change from the show, Jamie actually keeps up with Dave, leaving the erstwhile Mr. Fenwick a tad flustered.
Dave thoroughly educates Jamie relating to football shows to have graced the small screen. With Jamie just about able to keep up with Match of the Day and Fantasy Football League, Dave mocks Jamie for being too young to remember most of the shows.
Dave and Jamie are delighted to go through some of the messages received about the first couple of episodes. Some are positive, some.....not so much (jokes).

Sitting in Slovenia's coastal town of Portoroz, ebbed by the deep blue Mediterranean and surrounded by verdant countryside, the new five-star Hotel Slovenija takes full advantage of the region's healing mud and thermal waters.
Proving good taste never goes out of style, Portoroz's repute as a health resort stretches back centuries — it was here in the 13th century, monks from a Benedictine monastery healed patients with local medicinal elements of the Secovlje Salt Pans (salt pan mud, brine and salt). This was the beginnings of thalassotherapy in Portoroz.
It's located in a region abounding with the sources of natural remedies, from the nearby 700-year-old Secovlje Salt Pans to thermal prehistoric seawater, which forms the basis of treatments for a variety of conditions such as rheumatism, ascites, lymphadenitis, obesity and common wounds.
LifeClass Hotels & Spa is a unique spa resort with six hotels and seven wellness centres. Hotel Slovenija features 144 contemporary and stylish rooms with a soothing grey-and-white colour scheme and cosy armchairs. There's a gorgeous free-standing bath in the Family Room, while the Junior Suite boasts views of the sea and port.
It's the state-of-the-art spa, though, that takes star billing here, with a focus on preserving the 800-year-old tradition of alternative medicine and thalassotherapy. Looking to work up a sweat? Book into the LifeFit Fitness Centre for group exercise classes or personal training sessions.
When it comes to saunas, the spa excels, with seven different types of sauna. Elsewhere, swimmers will love the two pool complexes — one containing heated seawater, the other thermal mineral waters stretching back 42,000 years. The lengthy treatment menu features anti-ageing treatments, ayurvedic detoxification, weight-loss, thalassotherapy for beauty and rehabilitation, integrative approaches to Chinese medicine and traditional Thai medicine.
As evening descends, head to one of the hotel's two restaurants — TreeTop, with its inventive and healthy menu, and Istrian Tapas, a hip and buzzing spot for modern Istrian cuisine.

Q: Easier way of solving betting probability problem?
You have 2 blue and 2 red balls, in a box. You draw one out at a time (without replacement) and guess the color of the ball; you receive a dollar if you are correct. What is the dollar amount you would pay to play this game?

I think this is somewhat straightforward to calculate the maximum expected payoff using conditional expectation with the optimal strategy, which I think is to guess randomly ($P(correct) = \frac{1}{2}$), then to guess opposite ($P(correct) = \frac{2}{3}$), then to guess randomly again ($P(correct) = \frac{1}{2}$). I thought about conditioning on the event that you either guess correctly or don't at each turn, but it's still a relatively tedious calculation since I would have to condition for each turn.
Is there an insight that I'm missing that can make this easier/quicker to solve?

A: I see only three patterns that the balls can be in, and taking that they are drawn and seen one by one and that your next guess is the color with the higher probability, the scenario that emerges for each of the three patterns is as given below. A true guess $T$ gives a dollar and $F$ does not.
$RRBB$
$TFTT$
$FFTT\quad $2.5 dollars for this pattern
$RBRB$
$TTTT$
$FTTT$
$FTFT\quad 3$ dollars for this pattern
$RBBR$
$TTTT$
$FTTT$
$FTFT\quad 3$ dollars for this pattern
Since each pattern is equiprobable, game is worth  $\frac{8.5}{3}$ dollars

A: If you win a dollar every time you guess correct, the expected payout is $2.8\bar 3$.
If you win a dollar just for the very end, if you made all correct guesses, it's just 1/6.
In both cases, there are 6 routes you can go down.


The GSMA recently released an infographic showing the importance of international remittance and the potential of mobile money for these transactions.
International migration is a global phenomenon that is growing in both complexity and impact. More people live outside their country of birth than at any other time in history. This has resulted in an increased demand for payments and remittances worldwide. Mobile money transfer represents an opportunity to facilitate remittance that provides customers with a service that is safe, fast and cost-effective. For mobile money service providers, it creates a new way to bring funds into mobile wallets, stimulates service usage and generates revenue. International remittances via mobile money is also accelerating financial inclusion and supporting the UN Sustainability Goals.
The HomeSend global payments hub, a joint venture of MasterCard, eServGlobal and BICS is a market leading solution which enables cross-border transfer between mobile money accounts, payment cards, bank accounts or cash outlets from anywhere in the world, regardless of the users location.

WMB Heartland Justice Partners Tries To Hold Meeting To Lobby Council Members In Violation Of Open Door Law
Advance Indiana has obtained an e-mail several principals of WMB Heartland Justice Partners sent to members of the Indianapolis City-County Council soliciting them to meet with them at the Skyline Club today at 1:00 pm. to address concerns council members have with the controversial, $1.75 billion proposed criminal justice center the private consortium wants to build for the City of Indianapolis. The e-mail, penned by Meridiam Infrastructure's Jane Garvey, Joe Aiello and John Dionisio dated May 18, describes the objective of the meeting as "to see if any compromise could be reached that would enable an agreement for approval by the council on June 8."
Media reports had suggested the deal was dead after council members supporting the controversial project declined to call if for a vote at two recent council meetings because they lacked support from a majority of the council members to move forward with it after the proposal was voted down in committee. City-County Council President Maggie Lewis responded to the e-mail by complaining about the short notice and raising questions about whether the proposed meeting with the company's architects, engineer and fiscal advisors would violate Indiana's Open Door Law. The Council's attorney, Fred Biesecker, agreed in a reply e-mail in response to Lewis' question that the proposed working meeting would indeed violate the Open Door Law.
You are correct that if a majority of the council attended the meeting under these circumstances, it would violate the Open Door Law. In addition, the serial meetings statute (I.C. 5-14-1.5-3.1) generally prohibits a series of meetings that add up to a majority (for example, three meetings each involving five different councillors) if all the meetings concern the same subject matter and are held within a period of not more than 7 consecutive days.
Hats off to Council President Maggie Lewis for calling out these folks for attempts to conduct meetings with them in secret in violation of the Open Door Law. The Skyline Club, is located in the AUL Tower where the law offices of Ice Miller are located, one of the law firms retained to lobby city-county council members on behalf of WMB Heartland Justice Partners.
Truly, we have the best City Council money can buy (the Honorable Christine Scales excepted)... I do not trust attorneys as they've been schooled on how to legally lie and deceive and to do that by using the very law they are entrusted to uphold "against" us everyday persons; so I wonder when I see a phrase such as "...IF A MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL ATTENDED the meeting under these circumstances, IT WOULD VIOLATE the Open Door Law..."
Call me cynical but I have no doubt Councilors comprising less than a majority have already met with these crooks.
Good grief, just how much more proof do we need at the tips of our noses how utterly CORRUPT is Greg Ballard, the Marion County GOP that runs him, and are most of our Democrat and Republican Councilors? Doubt me?? Look at how they vote...
What I don't understand is why a private contractor is so eager to land a public building project. Public buildings are supposed to be built almost at cost, with very little, if any, profit being made by the contractors.
Ballard's deal must be really bad and corrupt if this project actually contains not only some profit, but so much profit that the private contractor is desperately trying to get it built.
I think one person went from the democrats
Who was the democrat that went?
CPS / FSSA Clay? Heartland might not like to learn...


Crystal Cave welcomes Scouts and similar 501(c)3 nonprofit groups for overnight camping in our primative group campsites. Crystal Cave does not have a traditional, mutil-site public campground but there are several nice public campgrounds in the area.
For group camping there are two separate, primitive, group camping sites available - Helictite Hill and Myotis Meadow. Both Group Camping areas have picnic tables, fire rings and large mowed grass areas for tent and RV camping. Flush toilets and water are available outside the Gift Shop, a short hike away.
For groups we also have a large shelter with numerous picnic tables that may be reserved. The shelter is ideal for your communal dinners, breakfasts, or programs for your group. The shelter is located in our picnic grounds.
You may park your cars and light RVs in the grassy areas of the two group campsites. Tents are quickly pitched in the shade of the surrounding trees and the Sinkhole Nature Trail is nearby.

"To the artist, the forest is an asylum of peace and dancing shadows". - John Carlson
Dorothy Hoeschen grew up in Georgia and received her Bachelor of Visual Arts from Georgia State University. She had always been drawn to any kind of art or craft, and especially loved drawing and painting.
Landscape has always been a favorite subject, and it was while playing in the woods as a child that she grew to love the organic shapes, patterns, and colors that still figure prominently in her work.
She graduated from Georgia State University with a Bachelor of Visual Arts and has exibited extensively, receiving numerous awards. Her works have found their way into many corporate collections, as well as private collectors. Working in a variety of media, Dottie's work combines strong compositional elements and a concern for light and color with careful attention to abstract patterns found in recognizable objects.
When she moved to Pennsylvania in 1994 she spent a number of years exploring and teaching bead weaving, macrame, and polymer clay. But there weren't enough hours in the day, and now she devotes full time to her painting.
Though she started as a studio painter, Dottie found that when she began to work en plein air it opened up a whole new world of possibilities. She now splits her time between plein air and studio work, exploring the beauty of Bucks County and any other place where her paints and brushes may take her.

I had the immense pleasure to be spoiled with a trip to Tessuti on the first day of its sale. They have 10%-50% off most fabrics. I usually can't afford to shop at Tessuti but the fabrics are so worth the money, if you have it. I managed to pick up one metre of black with a white flecked dot wool for 30% off. I'm going to make a Winter weight A-line skirt. I only needed one metre which cost me $40. I have the pattern. So I will get a pure wool skirt for under $50. That's not bad huh. I bought a couple of other more basic fabrics -- one was 30% off and the other 10%. It was REALLY hard to narrow down my choices.

Meredith C. Carroll: Wasting our tax dollars on sermon the Trumps didn't hear
Meredith C. Carroll
Muck Off
Since I first wrote about him in this newspaper 11 years and five days ago, my disdain for Donald Trump has hardly been a secret. The Pitkin County commissioners recently made their own aversion to Trump known, or at least to his environmental policies (or glaring lack thereof), when they placed ads in both of Aspen's newspapers last week addressing the president's three eldest children who were in town vacationing with their families.
The ad, which was signed by commission Chairman George Newman, "invited" Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric to relay a message to their dad to "consider our concerns and the opportunity to protect the special places" they enjoyed during their stay. Based on paparazzi photos and the first children's Instagram posts, those places were mostly Panda Peak, Paradise Bakery and Matsuhisa.
While we both voiced our opinions in the newspaper, the difference between the Pitkin Board of County Commissioners and me is that I am not required by a home rule charter to maintain a nonpartisan stance. Also, I get paid to write about Trump (and other stuff, too, presumably); I do not pay others to publish my anti-Trump writings.
Of course, the commission could have saved the $1,000 they spent on the ads and still seen their words in print. Aspen Times Editor David Krause told me, "If a public figure put together an intelligent guest column, I would have used it." Aspen Daily News Editor Curtis Wackerle also would have run it, as long as he had enough time to plan. "If someone, even George Newman, calls on Monday afternoon and asks for column space on Tuesday, I cannot always be on their schedule," he said.
Indivisible Aspen, a division of the larger Indivisible Guide group working on a grassroots level against the Trump administration, proved that even a letter to the editor can reach a wide audience: The one they wrote to the first family that was published in the Times on the same day as the commissioners' ad had been shared nearly 9,000 times as of midday Tuesday.
To be sure, the commissioners' ad succeeded in attracting attention, although perhaps not entirely in the intended way. There are those who wholeheartedly agreed with the message and messenger, yet others had their feathers ruffled, in part because "spending public money on a blatantly political advertisement is not good policy," Pitkin County Republican Party Chairman Bob Jenkins told the Daily News. He also argued the ad was "ironic, since it talked about climate change at a time when our snowpack was measured earlier this winter at 150 percent of average and is still at 130 percent of normal. I've lived here for 45 years and have found this winter's conditions to be outstanding."
For the sake of kindness, let's pretend Jenkins was joking when he said Aspen isn't affected by climate change, because surely he's brighter than that ludicrous statement indicates. Regardless, his first point is valid: the Board of County Commissioners should avoid presidential politics, and that includes the ad they took out in 2013 asking former President Barack Obama to protect Thompson Divide. The money spent on the Trump ads only amounts to .000973699 percent of this year's $102.7 million county budget, except its actual impact was so far off the mark it probably would have been more productive to use those dollars as kindling or toilet paper.
My colleague Paul Andersen believes otherwise, writing in Monday's Times that "the commissioner's newspaper ad should run far more often, and not just as a message to Trump. Cautions on climate should regularly target the Aspen community, where conspicuous consumption has long been a cultural norm with vacant monster homes, vast snowmelt surfaces, fleets of private jets, and convoys of unconscionably fuel-inefficient vehicles."
Indeed, the memo should be disseminated regularly — just not in a wasteful or divisive manner by addressing it to those who will neither read nor heed it. Targeting residents and (non-Trump) visitors in a series of ads, letters to the editor or guest opinions that sound the climate change alarm may actually have a chance of impacting people in positions of influence.
No doubt history will eventually show Newman's missive had as much influence on Trump's environmental decisions as the proposed Aspen City Council resolution from 15 years ago against the war in Iraq had on the war in Iraq. That's not to say our local government shouldn't weigh in or take a stand on national issues, especially since their effects are often felt here. However, there should be a legal limit to just how Aspen we're allowed to be in public. The ad, which included one mistake and three other questionable grammatical choices, ultimately amounted to little more than a feel-good yet pointless exercise in patting ourselves on the back.
The Board of County Commissioners is perpetuating an unfortunate precedent they set by using money from the collection plate for the purpose of eliciting an "Amen!" Meaningful change will not be effected by preaching to the choir. Opening up the church doors and trying to convert the atheists and agnostics, on the other hand, could actually make a dent.
