Stella's cradle is finally here and all put together. I absolutely loves it and wish that I could have one in my size! I think it is the poshest little cradle and a perfect fit for my little princess to rest her weary little head. Now she can be born whenever she is ready. Sooner is better than later though.
Oh my I have some serious cradle envy, I love it so much!


Soil organic matter (SOM) quality and iits decomposibility is influenced by cropping pattern. However, little is known on this matter, particularly so far rice monoculture or comination of vegetables with rice culture. Therefore, four pairs of fields having vegetable-rice and rice-rice cropping pattern were selected from four different locations in Bangladesh, covering floodplain and terrace soils. Soils were first physically fractionated into particulate organic matter (POM) and silt and clay sized OM. The silt and clay sized OM was further chemically fractionated by oxidation with 6% NaOCl to isolate an oxidation-resistant OM fraction, followed by extraction of mineral bound OM with 10% HF (HF-res OM). The results show that there is a small increase in POM in vegetable compared with rice soils. Among the chemical treatments, NaOCl oxidized the largest amount of OC and N from the silt and clay fractions of vegetable soils. The silt and clay N in vegetable soil was found to be more susceptible to NaOCl treatment compared with OC. Both the HF-extracted (HF-ex) and HF-res OM fractions were found to be lower in vegetable soils compared with rice soils. Results from both physical and chemical fraction of SOM suggest that SOM accumulated in vegetable-rice cropping pattern are more labile than the solely rice based cropping pattern and prone to decompose quickly in any change of land use.

Okay, so I'm reading my latest edition of the Broker/Agent News.
Came upon an article by Dirk Zeller entitled "The Four Pillars of Prospecting." Well, I never prospected much (Thank you, SOI!), but now that I'm a writer and consultant, I figure it's good to learn how the other half works.
Tip 1: "Set a daily time and place for prospecting." Got it.
Tip 2: "Fight off distractions." Fair enough... oh, wait... what's this?
"The truth is most agents welcome distractions taking them away from prospecting obligations. An inbound phone call, a problem transaction, a home inspection question, an incoming e-mail or a broken fingernail, anything will do. It's called creative avoidance and agents generally excel at the art."
"What do you do when distractions hit? Do you postpone prospecting while you put out a fire? Do you make just a few calls to settle the pending issue....? To fight off distractions, you have to bar their access...."
You may recall that on the home page of the Selling Soulfully group I make the statement that soulful agents "care as much about the clients they have today as the clients they hope to have tomorrow." I take that philosophy VERY seriously.
"So," Dirk asks, "Do you postpone prospecting while you put out a fire?" Uh, YEAH. My current clients pay me darn good money to care about them and their fires. One silly cold call, even two, will never be more important to me than the good will and appreciation of my current client.
Which, I dare to say, is why I never HAD to prospect.

Home FRONT PAGE Q&A with Jeffrey Roberson
Q&A with Jeffrey Roberson
(a.k.a. Varla Jean Merman)
It was a dark and stormy night. A rumbling in the distance acted as an ominous warning. What is that terrifying sound? A hideous beast?! A shrieking banshee!? Donald Trump?! No, it's just lactose-intolerant Varla Jean Merman after performing her iconic Easy Cheese number (seriously, you'd be sick, too. That stuff isn't even cheese! It's "cheese product," whatever the hell that is). Varla Jean is hopping on her broomstick, complete with mini bar, and landing in Provincetown for Spooky Bear Weekend to present her Halloween show Pieced Together! All My Best Parts at the Art House, featuring Gerald Goode on piano. Jeffrey Roberson, the man behind Varla, took some time to talk to Provincetown Magazine about why he loves all the amateur drag queens out on Halloween, why some folks think the holiday is "Satan's Birthday," and why he wouldn't be anywhere else on All Hallows' Eve than Provincetown!
Provincetown Magazine: What's your earliest Halloween memory?
Jeffrey Roberson: My earliest memory of Halloween was first grade. We had a parade at my elementary school and on one side of me was a boy who put Vaseline on his face and then pressed coffee grounds into it so that he looked like an unshaven hobo. The boy on the other side of me had a brown paper bag over his head that was covered with glued hair clippings from his father's barbershop to look like a wolf. I remember the wind blowing hard and everyone started getting hair clippings in their mouths and eyes. Children were crying. The boy with Vaseline on his face was accumulating the most clippings and had an actual beard made of hair by the time the parade was over. Suddenly, I found myself oddly attracted to him! To this day, a beard over coffee gets me going. I, as to be expected, was dressed as "Raggedy Andy" in a striped romper my mother made me from a DIY section of Good Housekeeping. And of course, it was topped off with a mop of red hair she elaborately fashioned out of crepe paper streamers. The point of this story? This was the first time I donned a red wig!
PM: It seems a lot of drag queens first did drag on either Halloween or Gay Pride. Is that the case with you?
JR: The first time I did drag was in high school. There was a "senior auction" for charity, and students could "buy" a senior and make them do anything they wanted for a day. I gave my junior girlfriend the money and made her buy me and "force" me to come to school in drag for the day. Side note: this was a "red flag" for her and we didn't date much longer after that.
PM: Some drag queens call Halloween amateur night because so many dabble in it on the high homo holiday. Does it bother you to see so many in drag on Halloween?
JR: No! Doing drag is so liberating! Everyone should experience it. I find the guys who, year after year, have to only dress in hyper-masculine, sexy costumes to be more annoying. You can dress sexy ANYTIME. Have some fun and don't worry about not being sexually desirable for a moment! That being said, I never do drag on Halloween since I do it all year. I only dress in hyper-masculine sexy costumes. Hey! I have an excuse! I'm sexually undesirable 51 weekends a year!
PM: You're from Louisiana, which is more conservative than many part of the country, especially here in Provincetown. Some religious conservatives call Halloween "Satan's Birthday" or the "Devil's Holiday." Was this something you ran into growing up in the Deep South?
JR: I'm from New Orleans. Every weekend is the "Devil's Holiday."
PM: What can audiences expect from your Halloween show Pieced Together?
JR: First, why come in with "expectations" to a show called Pieced Together? I'm kidding! They can expect new songs, classic chestnuts, and spooky stories! All of which will meet the Varla Jean Merman Gold Standard…which is actually quite low.
PM: Have you ever seen anyone dressed as Varla Jean for Halloween?
JR: Yes! For many years, people would come dressed as me, Miss Coco, and Evie from the movie Girls Will Be Girls. I must say, however, my look was the hardest to authentically pull off, and thus, usually the most tragic look in the trio.
PM: You've been coming to Provincetown for Halloween for several years now. Varla could go most anywhere on Halloween. Why Provincetown?
JR: It's no secret that I have a lot of bear fans. But more importantly, I am a big fan of the bears! In fact, I'm a huge fan of the big bears! Here's hoping I'll be coughing up a nice hairball by the end of the weekend! That's why I will be dressed as a sexy Spiritus Pizza slice, clogging down Commercial Street at 1 a.m.
Varla Jean Merman presents Pieced Together! All My Best Parts on Friday, November 1 at 9 p.m. and Saturday, November 2 at 8 p.m. at the Art House, 214 Commercial St., Provincetown. Tickets ($35/$45) are available at the box office and online at ptownarthouse.com. For more information call 508.487.9222.

The Techno-Toothbrush
Are electric toothbrushes any better at cleaning your teeth than manual toothbrushes? It depends on who you ask, because both have their advocates. In this article from the Mt. Vernon Center for Dentistry in Alexandria, we aren't going to recommend one over the other. We're just going to take a look at the world of the electric toothbrush.
Electric toothbrushes have been commercially available in the United States since the 1960s. But they first appeared in Switzerland, where they were invented. They caught on quickly, and have evolved considerably since then. When it comes to electric toothbrushes, there is a lot of choose from.
Those earliest electric toothbrushes did not have rechargeable batteries; you had to plug them in. That wasn't really much of an issue, unless you like to walk away from the sink while you brush.
Rechargeable batteries are standard in most modern electric toothbrushes. In fact, they have features that those 1960s inventors probably never dreamed of. Some models have:
Timers, so you can make sure you brush at least two minutes
Digital alerts, to remind you it's time for a new brush head
Pressure sensors that tell you if you're brushing too hard
Multiple brush head capability, so different types fit
Variable brushing features like pulsing and oscillating capability
And then there's the sonic toothbrush. Sonic toothbrushes take electric brushes to a whole new level. Toothbrush manufacturers consider them a subset of electric brushes, but they are in a class by themselves.
Sonic toothbrushes can deliver up to 40,000 strokes per minute. Compare that to an ordinary electric toothbrush, which deliver between 2,500 and 7,000 strokes per minute. That's quite a difference. For some people, that's overkill. But others say that sonic toothbrushes out-perform any other type of toothbrush you can find.
When all is said and done, it depends on the person doing the brushing. A manual toothbrush used properly does a fine job cleaning your teeth. But you can always take it to the next level with a standard electric, or even a sonic, toothbrush.
At the Mt. Vernon Center for Dentistry in Alexandria, what we really want is for each of our patients to brush and floss their teeth twice a day. It's the best way to ensure good dental health. Our services include family and cosmetic dentistry. Schedule an appointment with us today.

I read in another forum that somebody got a Lando from the UK and it did not have the blaster pistol. Lando has the holster, but his didn't come with the gun. If anybody gets this, it would be interesting to know if that was just a mistake or if this Lando doesn't come with the blaster.

I received an email from them the other day saying they were having issues with processing my payment method, even though I've had a "pending" charge to my account for a few days now.
The first person obviously didn't understand. All he did was assure me that the "pending" hold on funds would drop off soon.
So I contacted them again later. The person I talked to that time said she talked to their billing department and everything was ok, nothing to worry about, and ignore the emails about payment issues.
So since my order info is STILL saying there is a problem, I contacted them again this morning.
This person said that it is supposed to ship today, but that the order is showing a payment issue, and asked if I had received any emails regarding that.
At this point I told him that the woman I talked to yesterday said that the billing department said everything was ok, and to ignore the emails.
His response was that he saw notes made by that woman and the billing department and "hopefully" my order will ship.
I s**t you not, all he could say was f***ing hopefully it will ship.
So I guess if I don't get a shipping notification by 2pm today, I am supposed to contact them again.
I have a feeling I will be talking to them again, and for as unpleasant as it is going to be for me to continue dealing with such hassle for something as simple as placing an order, I guarantee I'm going to make it even more unpleasant for them, if I have to contact them for a fourth time over this.
I ****ing hate Walmart so bad.
I don' understand why this has to be so difficult. Someone places and order, when the prodcut comes in you charge their account, then you ship the figure, and everybody gets what they want.............or am I missing something?
If this was Target and I had this conversation I'd feel 80-85% confident it would work out. If it was Amazon...99-100%.
My order info still says it will be available today after 6pm. LOL! It's still in "preparing order" status. This kind of stuff never happens with things like a waffle iron. I feel like it might also be some Hasbro shenanigans at play here. Maybe Walmart hasn't received their shipment from Hasbro yet.
Just like the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, "l'll go a little later, I'll go a littler later..." And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the mall guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know. Well, I'm never going to let something like that happen again!
Mine mine says the same thing wow just wow. They can't seem to get their stuff together.
So, it just became " in stock " again w/ eta Fri 4/5 ... as C-3PO once said, "here we go again".
edit..sold out now. At the time I posted, I could only put 12 in cart but I wasn't sure if that's all they had or if that was max one could order.

Quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia, describes the complete loss of motor function in a victim's legs and arms. A workplace spinal injury causing quadriplegia is one of the most devastating injuries an employee can experience. Patients who suffer a spinal injury causing quadriplegia should immediately contact a back injury lawyer to protect their rights. At our Indianapolis and Kokomo offices, we are committed to providing our quadriplegia clients with the utmost respect and personalized attention. To learn more during your free consultation, contact us online or call us at (765) 865-9300.
When a work-related accident causes quadriplegia, you need strong legal representation.
Quadriplegia is generally caused by injury high on the spine or neck, affecting the upper part of the spinal cord and lower part of the brain. Injury to the vertebrae can damage the spinal cord, the brain's primary avenue of communication with the body. When the nerve cells of the spinal cord are damaged, these signals become weakened, or impossible to transmit at all.
Quadriplegics retain no motor function and little or no sensory function in their extremities and torso. Quadriplegia is defined as either complete or incomplete.
We fight to help patients regain their financial stability following a workplace spinal injury, so they can focus on rebuilding their lives.
Complete quadriplegics retain no sensory or motor function in their limbs, while incomplete quadriplegics may retain some sensory in certain parts of their bodies. Quadriplegia differs from quadriparesis injury, in which the vertebrae are less severely damaged, and the arms and legs retain some degree of function.
John P. Daly Jr. and Matt Golitko, who specialize in workers' compensation, discuss why they chose to work together. Combining these areas of expertise has strengthened their ability to help clients. This allows their personal injury law firm to handle all aspects of clients' needs under one roof, providing the focus and attention each case deserves.
Full-body paralysis is one of the most unfortunate results of a workplace accident. Victims of these accidents are eligible for compensation from Indiana workers' compensation regardless of who was at fault for the accident. Because quadriplegia patients are usually restricted to a wheelchair, and are unable to continue in physically demanding jobs, some victims can also receive disability compensation.
Employers in Indiana are required to carry workers' compensation insurance, which assists employees and their families following a workplace injury. Since quadriplegia treatment is very expensive, it is important that victims are well-represented when submitting their claims.
If a third party (such as another motorist or a manufacturer of faulty equipment) is involved in a workplace injury, the victim may be eligible for additional compensation from that party. Our attorneys can conduct a thorough investigation to determine if any third parties are responsible for your injury.
Patients and their loved ones are advised to consult with an attorney as quickly as possible in order to begin the process of filing claims for compensation. Golitko & Daly have helped many Indianapolis workers receive the compensation they deserve.

The anticipation as squads approach in preparation for battle is both thrilling and nerve-wracking, and the ability to switch between multiplayer games on the fly makes tracking multiple games elegantly simple. Technical hiccups aside, Frozen Synapse 2's incredible style and strong tactical combat make it wonderfully gratifying.
If you played the original, you will find plenty of new units, improved AI, and a whole new heap of fun. While the single-player campaign is a little lackluster, the core of the game in both single and multiplayer is the tactical combat, and Mode 7 has hit a home run with this piece of the game. If they would have spent more of their time adding additional camera options to the combat mode instead of adding the living city, they would have a near perfect game.
Frozen Synapse 2 is one of the best strategy games I've played in a long time. The combat is so fluid, interesting, and surprising that I would play the game if that's all it had. The turtling A.I. desperately needs a fix, but I imagine that won't be long in arriving. While the writing fails to deliver any personality to the city or its characters, the city looks amazing, and I love the way it seems to ripple when you move the camera.
Frozen Synapse 2 is a welcome return to the intensely micromanaged turn-based tactical battles that made the original so compelling. The asynchronous multiplayer is unquestionably the star of the show, and queuing up multiple online games at once means you're never stuck waiting for an opponent, and that you can play at your own pace.
Even the "story" isn't engaging enough to keep your attention and the progression milestones that are present in similar games are sadly missing in any form here. Still, the combat is something to be appreciated and holds the game up well enough, especially if you're the type of gamer that likes to get intricately involved in preplanning and watching the resulting fireworks.
In the end, Frozen Synapse 2 is a solid and robust experience that allows players the means to fully explore and master tactical combat. It has a number of faults that stop it from being a masterpiece and lacks replay value within the single player campaign but the endless possibilities of multiplayer saves the title.
Quizás un lanzamiento en Early Access habría sido beneficioso para este título. Tal y como lo hemos recibido, no podemos evitar recomendar esperar a que los ya cuantiosos parches vayan haciendo de esta experiencia lo que podría ser. A no ser que queráis escuchar la banda sonora, que perfectamente podría merecer el precio de entrada.
Les Britanniques de Mode 7 Games ne sont clairement pas les plus productifs des développeurs. En plus de quinze ans d'existence ils n'ont publié que trois jeux… enfin quatre puisque sept ans après la sortie de Frozen Synapse, ils se décident à nous en proposer la suite. Frozen Synapse 2 reprend évidemment le concept qui a fait du premier opus un succès auprès des critiques autant que des joueurs.
Frozen Synapse 2 è quello che qualunque tattico vorrebbe essere: preciso, profondo, dettagliatissimo, competitivo. La pianificazione delle proprie azioni in base alle simulazioni delle scelte nemiche è una meccanica che rende ogni missione e ogni scontro online estremamente interessanti, e la scelta precisa di non consentire nessun tipo di elemento casuale durante gli scontri rende le partite davvero simili, concettualmente, a una partita di scacchi in cui ogni decisione viene ponderata all'inverosimile.
Con Frozen Synapse 2 Mode 7 ha voluto allargare il raggio d'azione del loro primo lavoro e il risultato è più che soddisfacente, anche perché le basi tattiche da cui partiva erano più che solide e, a meno di un mezzo disastro, era impossibile fare fiasco. Le novità riguardano soprattutto le modalità di gioco, in primis la campagna, allargata e dotata ora di una struttura strategica che le dona sì maggiore profondità.
Frozen Synapse 2 è il seguito perfetto, capace non solo di riprendere il concept del suo predecessore migliorandolo enormemente, ma anche di ampliarlo con aggiunte che non stonano mai rispetto al flusso di gioco. Come scritto nel nostro recente provato, è come "se il primo episodio non fosse stato altro che un prototipo per arrivare alla compiutezza di questo seguito."

Good fences make safe species..Application of Coase theorem
This is an interesting article on how Kenya built fences to protect the endangered rhino population.
African countries are often criticized for failing to meet their environmental challenges. Observers often cite loss of habitat in the face of population growth, land degradation, and industrialization. And then there is the most frequent charge of all: that an increase in poaching is endangering species such as elephants and rhinos.
In Kenya, however, an innovative and extensive conservation project is underway. Begun in the Aberdare mountains in central Kenya, "Rhino Ark," originally conceived to protect the highly endangered black rhino from the ravages of poachers, is supported by the very people who might have resisted it: the local communities in some of the country's most productive farming areas.
In 1988, conservationists decided to finance and build an electrified fence to protect an area of the Aberdare National Park bordering smallholder farms. The fence was designed to prevent intrusion from the human population and degradation of the park's habitat. But it also protected the farmers, whose crops were regularly being destroyed by marauding elephant and other wildlife. Local farmers welcomed the initiative, which influenced the decision to expand the fence to surround the perimeter of the entire Aberdare range.
The Aberdare Mountains, encompassing 2,000 square kilometers of indigenous forest and vital water catchment areas, as well as a national park, are vital to Kenya. Four of the country's largest rivers, flowing north, west, east and south, begin there, providing water and power to seven major towns, including the capital, Nairobi. On the mountains' lower slopes, four million farmers benefit from rich soil and plentiful rainfall. In the foothills and high slopes, 30% of Kenya's tea and 70% of its coffee are produced.
For 21 years, the fence around the Aberdares was painstakingly built, supported mainly by Kenya's corporate sector, individual donors, and innovative fundraising exercises such as the Rhino Charge, an off-road motor event that has captured the Kenyan public's imagination and annually raises more than $1 million. But, by the time the fully electrified fence was completed, in 2009, the government, under then-President Mwai Kibaki, had become an essential partner, with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) deeply involved in the project.
With Kenyan government backing, Rhino Ark has been able to turn its attention to other forested but degraded areas – such as Mount Eburu in the Mau Forests Complex, overlooking Lake Naivasha, and Mount Kenya, a World Heritage Site that has been heavily affected by human-wildlife conflicts. The 45-kilometer Mount Eburu fence was completed last year. The Mount Kenya fence, at 450 kilometers, will be longer than the Aberdares' project and is now making rapid progress, with 80 kilometers completed.
The article reminded me of the Coase theorem which deals with such issues. The theorem says (though Coase never liked the attribution to him) says that under negligible transaction costs, property rights conflicts can be best managed by just bargaining between the two parties. It does not matter who owns the property rights.
In this case, the issue is managing the open park which was affecting both animal population (due to poaching) and human population (as animals attacked). As it is a common area, no one would like to take ownership and build the fence (the problem is slightly different from the original prop rights idea). A group of environmentalists take up the issue and build the fence using local support and funds. Seeing the benefits, more people joined in and become supporters and protectors of the fence now:
The benefits, however, are significant. The fences keep the authorities fully alert to any incidents of poaching – particularly of elephant, rhino, and exceptionally rare species such as the Mountain Bongo antelope, which now exist only in the Aberdares, Mount Kenya, and the Mau Forests Complex, including Mount Eburu.
Local communities are involved in all areas of fence and forest maintenance. In effect, they are the guardians of the fences, keeping them clear of vegetation and repairing damage caused by wildlife and other factors – and learning new skills in the process.
The longer-term goal is the protection of these critical forests in perpetuity. To achieve this, endowment funds are being established as public-private partnerships, bringing together the Rhino Ark, the KWS and the KFS, and representatives from local communities. So-called trust deeds, set up locally, will manage these funds, which will eventually pay for the fences' maintenance. The Aberdare Trust Deed became effective last October.
The region's hard-working farmers can now see added value in co-existing with the fence. Since the completion of the Aberdares fence, the value of local farmers' land has quadrupled. They can work their fields in peace for the first time in more than a century, their children can walk to and from school without fear of being attacked by wild animals, and conservation is now part of the curriculum. The main lesson is straightforward: Good fences are good for everyone.
Interesting bit of info..

Oculus Quest Hands-On Impressions: This Could Be The VR Headset For Everyone
Facebook promoted its Oculus Connect 5 conference that kicked off yesterday as a look at "the future of VR." After spending all afternoon trying four different demos on the upcoming Oculus Quest standalone 6DOF headset, I feel inclined to agree. Quest is due out in Spring 2019 for $399 and aims to deliver a "Rift quality experience" with full positional tracking and two Touch controllers without the need for wires or a powerful gaming PC to run it.
Before I cover my actual hands-on impressions, let me be clear: the Quest is not a standalone Rift. The Quest is also not a more powerful Go. As frustrating as it may be, Quest really does sit somewhere in between. It's powered by a Snapdragon 835 chipset which is a few generations beyond Go, but it pales in comparison to some of the $1,000 gaming PC rigs people can build to power their Rifts. The controllers are very similar, but don't expect Quest to entirely replace all Rifts next year or anything like that.
Oculus Quest Headset Design and Specs
In terms of physical design, Quest looks a lot like a Rift. We know it's 1600 x 1440 per eye for resolution and has the same lenses as Go, but we don't know the field of view yet but it felt about the same as Rift and Go. We've heard 72Hz mentioned in a session at OC5 as the refresh rate, compared to 90Hz for Rift. Anecdotally I will say it seemed to be about the same as the Rift in all meaningful ways, although the overall visual quality of the apps was a bit lower. But at the end of the day I can't really know for sure without comparing them side-by-side. It's reportedly powered by a Snapdragon 835 chipset and will feature 64GB of storage (for the $399 model) with over 50 launch titles.
The front of the device is smooth and rounded, not flat like Go. There are two velcro tightening straps on either side near your ears with a single thin strap across the top of your head — just like Rift. My glasses fit inside the unit just fine with a small light leaking nose gap. It didn't seem to smash my face as much as the Rift does, which is relieving. It felt a bit heavier than the Go in the front, but that's honestly to be expected with so much more power housed inside the unit.
Speakers are hidden inside the head strap, similar to Go, with improved audio performance. In all four of my demos the sound was crisp and clear, although at the end of the day if you're using VR alone at home you'll probably just want to plug in your own headset for the best audio experience.
On the underside of the headset, below the lenses, there is an IPD adjustment knob, similar to Rift, and a volume button, rather than volume controls on top like Go. There's also a USB-C port for charging as well as a power button on the exterior.
Quest Touch Controllers Design
As someone that uses an Oculus Rift with Touch almost daily, holding the Quest Touch controllers for the first time was a bit jarring. They have the same type of analog sticks, two face buttons each, a menu button each, as well as a trigger and grip button each — but they just feel different.
The portion that actually extends down into your palm that you wrap your hand around seems a tad longer, which is actually nice since it felt like I had a better grip on them while swinging around in Tennis Scramble. But the tracking ring's new placement to encircle the top of the controller, rather than the bottom, feels really strange. Perhaps it's just because I'm so used to the existing Touch controllers that it bothered me, but they seemed noticeably top heavy from what I was used to. Obviously this was a necessary design change because the headset's four tracking cameras (part of the "Oculus Insight" system) need to see the rings to maintain tracking, and it's something that I did eventually got used to.
Buttons were responsive and felt great. My Touch controllers at home are starting to feel a bit stiff sometimes, so the smooth and fluid triggers on the Quest Touch controllers seemed really nice by comparison. I quickly forgot I was holding anything at all in most demos and just got sucked into the experience. If people can get used to the ring's movement and weight distribution, these are just as great as the already excellent Touch controllers.
Oculus Quest Insight Tracking
During the OC5 day one keynote, Facebook leadership talked about what's been dubbed the "Oculus Insight" tracking system. Basically the four cameras on the front of the headset read and analyze your playspace to see your environment and then also keep track of the two Quest Touch controllers. This means that the Oculus Quest Touch controllers are tracked with six degrees of freedom (positional tracking) wherever you move in 3D space. The same goes for the headset. So unlike Go, you can walk around, lean in any direction, and move through a room just like you would with Rift or Vive, but without any cords or external cameras.
The benefit to the headset having this type of inside out tracking is pretty clear, right? It gives you nearly total freedom. You aren't bound to your playspace that has cameras plugged into a PC. I can stick Quest in a bag and bring it anywhere with both controllers and it'll just work — at least that's the idea. But this sort of tracking system does have some limitations as well.
For starters, the four cameras on the headset are front-facing only. This means that they can only see your controllers as long as they are directly in front of you within the cameras' field of vision. Luckily since they are spread out into the corners of the headset the range was really good. Most of the time, even if I moved my hands to the side or down by my waist, Quest didn't have issues keeping up with where the Touch controllers were at. But it wasn't flawless.
I tried to put the tracking to the test a bit when I played Superhot VR by doing things like turning my head and then reaching for something that's behind me or off to the side. Sometimes I could pick it up and bring it up in front of me, other times it didn't work perfectly. And if I put my hands behind me or out of view, then slowly bring them back into view, there was a slight jitter while the cameras adjusted and relocated the Touch controllers again. The jitter lasted longer than a second and anyone that has ever used a Windows VR headset will know what I'm talking about.
In another situation I was playing 3v3 Dead and Buried in an "arena scale" setup that had actual boxes and pillars in the real world mapped to the same location in VR. With this demo I was able to freely move around the entire 4,000 square foot space, ducking behind boxes, and moving around a ton. No framerate drops and no headset tracking issues at all. But in one case when I reached around a piece of cover to shoot, the headset lost tracking on my controller. That's because I was reaching around a real physical box so it occluded the view — in a normal roomscale setup, that wouldn't happen.
Finally, during a discussion focused on porting Rift games to Quest, developers and engineers discussed two specific cases to watch out for in Quest games. First, is anything that requires reaching behind your head can be tricky — such as changing weapons in Space Pirate Trainer or pulling out an arrow from a quiver. Plus, in a game with a two-handed gun or a bow and arrow, your hands can actually occlude themselves because they're held out in front of you, in parallel, blocking camera view of your furthest hand.
Those are very specific cases that I didn't personally deal with today, but are worth considering. Overall I'd say Quest has obviously better tracking than Go, slightly better tracking than PSVR, but not quite as good tracking as Rift or Vive. In terms of 360, positional, roomscale tracking at home goes, the Vive's external base stations can't be beat — but the Quest is wireless and standalone at a much more affordable price.
Oculus Quest vs. Rift vs. Go
This is what everyone wants to know, right? Is the Quest basically a more powerful Go, or is it like a less powerful Rift? As of now it's hard to say with certainty. However, because of the way the tracking works with 6DOF controllers and a 6DOG headset the closest point of comparison would be like a two front-facing sensor arrangement for Rift, but without a wire and with 360 movement. Let me explain.
When you use a Rift with two sensors facing at you, you're able to stand up and use two Touch controllers. That means full positional tracking and hand presence. But since those two sensors are both in front of you, that means you can' reach behind your head or occlude the controllers or else tracking suffers. Quest seems to be in a similar boat.
If you are doing lots of stuff with your hands that requires them to not be in front of you, then tracking is gonna have problems. That's just the nature of how a camera works. But that being said, it re-aligns very quickly and does a good job of maintaining tracking even outside of view. Honestly, it worked better than I expected and if booth attendees hadn't scolded me I'd have ran around very quickly.
At $400 (that's literally the same price as a Rift) you're getting a headset that looks even sharper than the Go's excellent lens clarity, features 6DOF controllers and headset movement, no wires, no PC, and a launch library that's gearing up to include quality Rift titles ported down and new experiences like Tennis Scramble and Face Your Fears 2.
That…is impressive. Time will tell if this has the effect on the VR market that Facebook clearly hopes it will, but the potential is certainly there. When recommending Go to people I found that it often came with too many reservations and caveats if they'd already tasted VR with Rift. Now I can tell someone that they can get fully-featured VR for half the cost of a new phone, the same cost as a game console.
With good marketing and a strong launch library, Oculus Quest feels like it really could be the first VR headset for absolutely everyone.

Abdüllatif Şener (born 1954) is a Turkish politician. He was Minister of Finance of Turkey from 1996 to 1997 and Deputy Prime Minister from 2002 to 2007, under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Şener was born in Gürün, Sivas Province in Turkey. He graduated from the School of Political Sciences at Ankara University. He earned his PhD degree from Gazi University in Ankara. He lectured on finance at Gazi University and Hacettepe University, before he served as a controller in the Department of Revenues within the Ministry of Finance.
Şener entered politics and was elected in 1991 as deputy of Sivas Province from the Islamist Welfare Party (RP). He was Minister of Finance from 1996 to 1997. Following the ban of the Welfare Party in 1998, he became a member of the newly established Virtue Party (FP), which was also banned after three years in 2001. He was co-founder of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2001. He was elected to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey as deputy of Sivas Province, and he served under the AKP government as Deputy Prime Minister from 2002 to 2007.
He did not run for a seat in parliament in the 2007 general elections. After leaving the AK Party, he formed a new party; it was officially announced on 27 May 2009 and named the Turkey Party (Türkiye Partisi).
Şener announced that the Turkey Party was officially closed on 27 August 2012 due to difficulties in maintaining its political goals outside of parliament.
In an interview with Halk TV, Şener strongly condemned the AK Party's handling of the 2013 protests in Turkey.

Eight teams still fight for the title in the Spanish Copa del Rey. However, one of the co-favorites had to cancel the sails already in the second round. The speech is of course from Atletico Madrid. The team of Diego Simeone lost neither the one-way nor the second leg against the Girona Fútbol Club, but due to the more shot away goals of the blatant outsider, this surprise came about. The previous decade of the Spanish La Liga is now aiming for the next sensation in the quarter-finals. Once again Girona gets to do with a favorite from the capital, Real Madrid.
The Madrilenians have recently recovered to some extent and in the league at least two victories in a row booked. Of the absolute top constitution, the Royal are still far away, which proves, among other things, the 0-1 defeat in the second round match against Leganes. Nevertheless, the Champions League winner of the past three years enjoys a huge standing with the bookmakers, so on Thursday at Real Madrid against Girona, the odds turn out clearly in the direction of the Galactic. Perhaps that is precisely why the value is more likely to be found on the part of the guests, because after all, they were never in the midst of 24 competitive matches in this season at half-time.
Although Real Madrid's form has moved up slightly in the past few weeks and Coach Solari's team has won three out of the last four competitive matches, the Royal ones are far from safe from further collapse. The structure of the Champions League dominator of the past three years is extremely unstable and also secondary battlefields around dissatisfied professionals like Isco or Gareth Bale threaten to escalate at any time. After all, the Madrilenians reported in La Liga by two successes at Betis Sevilla (2-1) and at home against Sevilla FC (2: 0) back, so the capital club now greets again from third place and "only" five points behind Atletico Madrid in second place. However, since the chances of winning the title in the Spanish Championship have been reduced to a minimum, only the Copa del Rey remains to raise a national trophy. There it gets Real Madrid in the quarterfinals with Girona to do. The prognosis of many so-called experts falls in favor of the hosts in this match, although the guests may not be underestimated at the latest after the mentioned progress against Atletico Madrid.
If Real Madrid's odds against a home win against Girona are too low, then, statistically, it should not make the mistake of assuming a high or premature success. Looking at the isolated table after the first 45 minutes, Real Madrid is only in seventh place. The goal difference is even negative with 11 goals scored and 13 goals scored, and only in eight cases did Sergio Ramos and Co. start the second round with a lead. More than a single goal in the first half, the Madrid were only able to mark the 2: 2 in Villarreal for the start of the year 2019. Because there is a lot to stake in the quarter-final first leg and the Solari team will not have to make a decision in the first of a total of four halves, it's safe to say that the hosts face problems with a decent defense , In the game Real Madrid – Girona, therefore, a tip to a draw at halftime is definitely worth considering, especially since it also stood in the league game at the cabin 1: 1, before the Royal put on a Schippe after the break and 4: 1 the Leave place as a winner. Keylor Navas, Gareth Bale, Marco Asensio and Jesus Vallejo will miss due to injury. Kroos, Llorente and Mariano Diaz, however, have returned to team training and could slip earlier than expected in the squad. Changes against the 2-0 victory against Sevilla are likely, especially since on Sunday the important away game in La Liga at Espanyol Barcelona is on the program.
Since last season, the Girona Fútbol Club belongs to the inventory of the highest Spanish league. Right in the premiere year, the Red-Whites were able to convince as newcomers and finish in a respectable tenth place. In the current season, it also looks pretty neat after 20 match days. Twenty-four points accumulated are currently enough to reach position 12, although the lead over the first relegation zone is only a meager four points. In the league Girona 2019 still waiting for the first three. In Levante and at home to Alaves the team of coach Eusebio had to be satisfied with one point. At Betis Sevilla it hailed at the weekend an avoidable 2: 3 bankruptcy.
The provisional climax experienced the Catalans in the Copa del Rey, as they were able to point Atletico Madrid in the second round sensational in the barriers. Two draws at home (1: 1) and in the Spanish capital (3: 3) were enough to fix the progress. In both cases, by the way, there was already a draw at halftime (1: 1 each). In general, the red and white are one of the best teams when it comes to starting a game. In none of the 24 previous competitive games was Girona to break behind. Nine times, the Rangzwölfte led, in 15 cases would be gone after 45 minutes of betting on X. In that sense, it is actually the logical consequence between Real Madrid and Girona, due to the lucrative quotas, to steer the prognosis in that direction as well. They drew at half-time in four out of five games against Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Only the La Liga first leg against the Royal was lost in the aftermath. Although the defensive – by numbers – far from the cream of the cream of the Spanish House of Lords counts, the Catalans succeed against top clubs again and again, to stand stable and set isolated pinpricks forward. Why not on Thursday in the Copa del Rey? Johan Mojica, Aday and Carles Planas are not available for injury. Top scorer Stuani, who had to pass at the weekend, should however return to the team and provide the necessary relief.
In the last and current season, Real Madrid and Girona faced each other three times in La Liga. These were the only clashes between these clubs to this day. Twice the favorite left the place as the winner; However, the first direct duel ended 2-1 for the Catalans. Interesting: In the two significant Real successes (4: 1 and 6: 3) the decision fell in the second half. Both times, the Royal had to settle for a half-time draw, which was very close to our Real Madrid vs. Girona tip brings an additional argument.
That Real Madrid is against Girona as the clear favorite in the quarter-final first leg of the Copa del Rey, is beyond question and is also quite justified. However, whether the fairly one-sided distribution of betting odds reflects the actual starting position is questionable. Although the form curve of the Madrilenians after three victories in the past four competitive matches up, yet the Solari Elf can not convince consistently. The dominance of bygone days has definitely been lost and even supposedly simple home games become a real test of patience for the Champions League triumphant of the past three years.
Also for the match Real Madrid vs.. Girona is moving our prediction in a similar direction. The guests from Catalonia were in the entire season 2018/2019, say in 24 competitive games, never at halftime behind. In just 15 cases, the red-whites fought a draw at the break, including in both round of 16 against Atletico Madrid. We assume that the outsider will stand low and do his utmost not to concede a quick goal. The Royal was often lacking creativity on offense, which is why it could well take until the second round before the greater quality prevails and Solari Eleven finds solutions. In the end, we decide between Real Madrid and Girona for the tip on lucrative odds that it draws on Thursday night after 45 minutes. Three units is the use adapted to the rather high risk.

This is a great review. Thank you Eric!
Johnny told me that the cuff was part of his wardrobe for the film PLATOON, which was shot on location in the Philipines. When the movie wrapped, he asked if he could keep "Lerner's" cuff. Of course, the prop master said yes. During the treasure cave sequences of "POC – Black Pearl" Mr. Depp said his cuff, then 16 years old, was falling apart and asked me to make a new one.
Just to clarify, the snaps ARE functional on all JDCuffs. Johnny wears his on his right wrist at the largest adjustment holes for a loose, comfortable fit.
Your cuff is custom made and the COA is signed and dated the day I finish it.
Thanks again, Eric. Great production on the video!

Statins May Increase Risk for Developing Type 2 Diabetes
A new analysis sheds light on a potential drawback of the cholesterol-lowering drugs, but some experts say the benefits of statins often still outweigh the risks for many people.
By Becky Upham
Everyday Health Archive
The research on statins and diabetes risk is mixed, but studies show the meds definitely lower the risk for stroke and heart attack.Roger Ashford/Alamy
Statins, a class of drugs prescribed for people with high cholesterol, are one of the most commonly used medicines in the United States. Close to 42 million people take cholesterol lowering drugs, which includes statins, prescribed generically or under names such as Lipitor (atorvastatin), Zocor (simvastatin), and Crestor (rosuvastatin), according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
According to the CDC, only about 55 percent of people who could benefit from taking a cholesterol medication are currently using one. Yet a study published in May 2019 in the journal Diabetes Metabolism Research and Review found that reducing the risk of a heart event with these drugs could come at a cost: an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
"Our findings suggest that more research is needed to better understand the biologic changes that take place when patients take statins," says Victoria Zigmont, PhD, assistant professor of public health at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven and lead author of the study.
Statins continue to be effective in preventing heart attacks and strokes, and if you're taking a prescribed statin, don't stop because of this study, says Dr. Zigmont, adding that ideally the findings would open further discussions about diabetes prevention and patient and provider awareness of the issue.
RELATED: 10 Surprising Facts About Statins
A Closer Look at the Link Between Statins and Type 2 Diabetes
Researchers analyzed 4,683 men and women who were employees and dependent spouses enrolled in a private insurance plan in the Midwest. Study authors conducted the research retrospectively, meaning they looked back at existing records to uncover any possible connections between statin prescriptions and diabetes. The average age of participants was 46; 62 percent of the group were female, 38 percent male, and 83 percent were white, 12 percent were black, and 4 percent were additional minority groups. Subjects had an average body mass index (BMI) of 30 to 31, which falls into the category of obese.
At the start of the study, participants didn't have diabetes; they were candidates for statins based on heart disease risk but had not yet started the medication. About 16 percent of the group — 755 patients — were eventually prescribed statins during the study period, which ran from 2011 until 2014.
To determine if there was a link between statin use and diabetes, researchers controlled for several confounding factors, including gender, age, ethnicity, education level, cholesterol and triglyceride readings, BMI, waist circumference, and the number of visits to the doctor during the study period.
Researchers found that statin users had more than double the risk of a diabetes diagnosis compared with those who didn't take the drugs. Those who took the cholesterol-lowering drugs for more than two years had more than 3 times the risk of diabetes.
The fact that taking the statin longer was associated with an increased risk of diabetes indicated a dose-dependent relationship, which indicates this is likely a causal relationship, says Zigmont.
RELATED: How Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Are Connected
Yet Eugene Yang, MD, clinical associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, says this observational study may indicate an association between statin use and type 2 diabetes, but it does not show causality. "In studies where researchers have done randomized prospective clinical trials where incidence of developing diabetes risk was one of the secondary endpoints — and those trials are more scientifically rigorous than this one — this association has not been demonstrated," says Dr. Yang.
The HOPE-3 trial, published in May 2016 in The New England Journal of Medicine, was an international study that did not show any increased risk of developing diabetes with a statin, says Yang.
There were several limitations to this study, which the authors acknowledge and that Yang notes. Individuals who filled a new prescription for statins 90 days into the study were classified as statin users, though study authors didn't measure compliance throughout the study. They didn't measure or include factors such as smoking, exercise, and alcohol use, which are all risk factors for diabetes. Prediabetes status was not available at the outset of the study, so some patients who were already at a high risk could have been included.

For Many Patients, Research Shows the Benefits of Statins Outweigh the Risks
About 610,000 people die of heart disease every year, making it the leading cause of death in America, according to the CDC. Several conditions and lifestyle choices increase the risk of developing heart disease, including:
Poor diet
Physical Inactivity
Excessive alcohol use
Currently, patients are undertreated due to both primary care physicians' concerns and patients' personal beliefs about these drugs, says Yang. "In the big picture, these drugs (statins) and treatments to lower cholesterol are really beneficial in reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke in the right high-risk population," he says.
Deciding which action or medicine to take or forgo is all about weighing the benefits and risks, says Yang. In the JUPITER trial, a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine that looked at the benefits and risks in statins and diabetes, authors concluded that 134 cardiovascular events were prevented by statin use for every 54 new cases of diabetes diagnosed.
"As a cardiologist, I see the patients who have had heart attacks, strokes, and bypass surgery, and so my perspective is different," he says. Many cardiologists take a more aggressive stance on treating heart disease because they see the downstream effect of inadequate management of these primary risk factors, says Yang.

What Does This Mean if You're Taking a Statin to Lower Cholesterol?
If you're unsure whether a statin would benefit you, check with your healthcare team, says Yang. In certain situations — for example, in someone who's at risk for cardiovascular events and looking to help prevent heart disease — where there's a weaker level of evidence for statin use, he says.
On the other hand, there's enough scientific evidence in some higher-risk populations that show there are strong benefits to taking a statin, says Yang. To help his patients understand the risks and benefits, Yang shares the results of the 4S trial, an earlier study that looked at the statin simvastatin to see if treating cholesterol with a statin helped delay death.
The absolute risk reduction in that trial was about 4 percent in cardiovascular mortality, says Yang. That means if you put 100 patients with coronary heart disease in a room and treat them with a statin, maybe one person will develop diabetes, but four people in that room will be saved from having heart attack, says Yang. "That's the perspective people need to understand," he says.

Strong relationship with Japan critical for Australian meat sector
Japan has been a key export market for Australian meat for a long time, and it remains one of the industry's leading trading partners, Australian Meat Industry Council CEO Patrick Hutchinson told contacts in the country last week.
Mr Hutchinson spent two days in Japan, accompanied by Meat and Livestock Australia representatives, meeting with Japanese industry leaders and senior Australian Embassy officials. He used the visit to confirm Australia's ongoing commitment to the Japanese market and a strong desire from the Australian meat industry to continue to explore opportunities in the region by supplying quality product that suits the specific needs of Japanese consumers.
"Japan has created vast opportunity for Australian producers and we've forged a relationship that we are both proud of and grateful for. I've reiterated at my several meetings in Japan in the past few days that the market remains a high priority for Australian industry," Mr Hutchinson says.
Australia currently exports about $2.5 billion worth of beef and sheepmeat to Japan every year, with a combined volume of approximately 317,000 tonnes. Australia has an approximate 49% market share of beef imports into Japan, and also enjoys 64% of the market share for sheepmeat imports.
"As an industry we have built significant relationships with Japanese importers over many decades. These relationships are the result of hard work and goodwill on both sides, and they will help ensure we can continue to reliably and consistently deliver high quality product to the Japanese market," Mr Hutchinson says.
"There's plenty happening between Australia and Japan – from Agriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie's visit in August, to the very exciting news that Australian beef will be an official partner of the Australian Olympic Team heading to Tokyo in 2020. Our industry looks forward to continuing to work closely with our partners in Japan as we continue to identify opportunities that deliver benefits to both countries."
"Last week we understand that the US and Japan have signed a trade deal resulting in the dropping of import tariffs on American meat in Japan, to current TPP levels". Mr Hutchinson says that the Australian meat export industry is unfazed by this announcement, as "we welcome competition on a level playing field, and we are confident about Australian meat's position in Japan. Our quality product has built a tremendous reputation in Japan over many decades and is preferred by Japanese consumers."
The Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) is the only industry association for Australia's post-farm-gate meat sector. The sector adds more than $21 billion in value to the Australian economy.


There's a schism between the impact of recorded music and that of the performer on stage. It goes both ways – the dull, whining guy in T shirt and scruffy jeans might not come across from the badly-lit stage mic, but could have serious songs saying something and might even make a good record.
On the other side of the sensitive divide were the Plasmatics. They were about combined media, before it became an obvious route: power theater. And with a combined message. Take the headlong music out of their action, and it loses some support. Isolate the music on disk, and you might sometimes find it wanting. But the combination on a noisy night was so powerful, and a year after the release of their first album they were playing to full houses at the Palladium on 14th Street. CBGB was their New York launch pad, though.
The music didn't always hit the conventional recorded heights, but the Plasmatics and their unforgettable front person Wendy O Williams had serious attitude, and it communicated so well in the club: a formidable combination of confrontation and politics. You always had to watch where you were standing for the finale when they took a chainsaw to the wired guitar on stage, and not just up front. Scattered around the back of the club were horns which relayed one of the most excruciating sounds ever heard there. And they had serious competition, from less obviously aggressive machines. (The band would graduate later to blowing up a Cadillac on stage at the Palladium.) These uncompromising radicals made a very coherent and powerful mark, in contrast with some destructively misguided East Village anarchists (Missing Foundation) that Hilly banned after they set a fire on the stage as a 'political' gesture during their performance. The Plasmatics were new and had something to say. And were not afraid.

China: Whatever situation in Venezuela is, our ties remain the same

China's cooperation with Venezuela is based on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and joint development, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang on Friday when asked if China would be "worried" that Venezuela cannot pay back its debt.
"We believe that however the situation develops or changes, cooperation between China and Venezuela will not be damaged."
Geng added that China is currently in close communication with all parties involved through various means, actively seeking conditions for dialogue in order to solve the issue peacefully.
The South American country has plunged into political turmoil amid looming tensions with the United States.
Just days after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro swore in to begin a new six-year term on January 10, the country's National Assembly Juan Guaido proclaimed himself as the "interim president" with support from Washington and its allies. On Thursday, the European Union also recognized Guaido as de facto head of state.

Fire damage to your home does not have to come from the inside. Your home can be damaged or destroyed by a wildfire or a fire from a nearby property. Wildfire problems are no longer limited to just a few locations.
Changes in temperature and rainfall are creating problems across the nation. Take steps to protect your home and family from fire damage and spread.
No matter where you live, keeping your property clear can reduce the potential for the spread of wildfires. You need to create a defensible space around your home. This space includes three zone areas. Tackle the first five feet around your home first.
Remove all dead or flammable vegetation in this zone. Any plants that you have in this area should be fire resistant. Small plants and ground cover are not a major problem, large plants and those that create excess dead branches need to be removed. Keep all tree branches trimmed to 10 feet away from your roof.
You can determine the safety of the vegetation by looking at the ground under and around the plant or tree. If there is a large amount of bark or leaves, the combustibility increases. Pine trees are extremely flammable and fallen pine cones and needles must be removed. Plants with a high resin content are also dangerous. Some of these include Eucalyptus, Calendula and Tamarack.
Additional defense zones include a 30 foot radius and a 100 foot radius. The larger your safety zone, the less danger you will face.
In locations with the highest potential for wildfires, take a look at your roofing material. Wood shake shingles are not the best choice. These must also be specially rated as Class A for any true fire resistance. Consider a Spanish tile, slate or metal roof for the most fire protection. Decks and other structures should be built from resistant materials.
Again, keep flammable plants and trees away from your home. Keep tree branches trimmed so that they do not overhang your roof. Keep your gutters clear from leaves and other debris that can build up and catch fire.
Pay extra attention if you live next to a vacant home or business. Arson fires can spread quickly and you need to remain alert. If you notice unusual activity, notify the police or your area's building department.
Even if your home is not touched by fire, smoke and ash can cause damage. Oily soot will make the situation even worse. Keep your windows, skylights and doors closed to reduce the amount of smoke and soot that enters your home. Remember to always evacuate if you are told to do so. Damages to your home can be repaired.
You can count on Professional Restoration to Respond, Recover and Restore your home and life back to order. If you've experienced fire and smoke damage contact our experienced team to schedule a free estimate 303-922-4001.

Do people really wake up during surgery?
On behalf of DeLuca & Weizenbaum, Ltd. posted in Surgical Errors on Friday, May 19, 2017.
Like many people in Providence County, you have likely heard stories of patients waking up during their surgeries and dismissed them as being just that: stories. Anesthetic agents make it possible for doctors and surgeons to perform many of the life-saving treatments they offer. However, as outlandish as it may seem, it is possible for you to regain a level of consciousness during surgery (the clinical term for such an incident is referred to as "anesthesia awareness").
Research data shared by the National Institutes of Health shows anesthesia awareness to occur in one to two of every 1000 surgical cases. The severity of cases may vary, although most reports describe patients only recovering a small degree of consciousness. In such a state, you may feel what is being done to you, yet not be fully aware of everything going on around you. Cases of near full awareness during surgery are said to be extremely rare.
In most cases of anesthesia awareness, patients do not report feeling pain, but rather pressure in the areas where they are being treated. General anesthesia is actually a mix of different agents designed to both inhibit pain receptors and suppress your level off consciousness. Thus, suppression agents may wear off while pain inhibitors remain active. Still, while typically not suffering pain, awareness victims often report experiencing severe emotional trauma due to being aware of what is going on inside them.
Your risk of experiencing anesthesia awareness can often be linked to the procedure you are receiving. In emergency surgeries or cardiac procedures, there are risks associated with using deep anesthetics. It may come as little surprise, then, that these types of procedures are the most commonly cited in reported cases of awareness.
