Can Dr. Tollestrup Help Me? Tollestrup specializes in treating patients with chronic pain due to various types of injuries to peripheral nerves. If your pain is due to injury or entrapment of one or more peripheral nerves, then there is a very high chance that Dr. Tim Tollestrup can help.
Sensory changes – symptoms like numbness, tingling, pins and needles, or decreased sensation/dullness.
Character of pain – nerve pain often presents as a burning sensation but may also feel electrical in nature (i.e. a shocking or buzzing sensation). Nerve pain can "shoot" or radiate from one place to another and can mimic just about any sensation. The sensations that nerve damage produces are often so strange that patients frequently say that they have a hard time describing what they are feeling in words.
Severity of pain – one of the hallmarks of nerve pain how excruciating it is. Patients with nerve damage usually appear to be in much more pain than the situation seems to justify. In addition, pain medication is often very ineffective at treating pain of nerve origin. Patients often remark that they would gladly cut off the offending arm or leg, etc., if they could just get rid of the pain.
When is the right time to have peripheral nerve surgery? When the impact on a person's quality of life outweighs the risks associated with the surgery itself. Generally speaking, if a patient is otherwise healthy enough to tolerate a general anesthetic, the risks of peripheral nerve surgery are very low. If your problem is still very manageable with acceptable lifestyle modifications and reasonable levels of pain medication, then continuing along that course is probably a better option than surgery. On the other hand, for patients whose quality of life is significantly compromised, or in many cases, nonexistent, the already low risks of surgery fade to insignificance. Only you as a patient knows when the level of pain, numbness, etc., tips the scales in the favor of undergoing surgery to relieve pain and restore function. For most patients with a serious peripheral nerve problem, this is not a difficult issue to decide.
What percentage of Dr. Tollestrup's patients get relief? – That often depends on the type of nerve problem the patient has. For example, patients with peripheral neuropathy who qualify for nerve decompression surgery will experience very good or complete relief from their symptoms about 80% of the time. When the pain is coming from a single damaged nerve where disconnecting the nerve is the best course of action, relief is usually achieved greater than 99% of the time. For most peripheral nerve problems, a good rule of thumb is that the success rate is 80% or better.
I hate taking pain pills. Can Dr. Tollestrup's surgery help me get off my pain medication? – The short answer is yes! Dr. Tollestrup's goal is always to relieve the patient's pain completely and most of the time he is able to do that. Once the nerve pain is gone, and if that's the only reason you were taking pain medication, then you're pain management doctor will be able to wean you off your pain medication.
What exactly does Dr. Tollestrup do during surgery to take the pain away? – That depends on how the nerve has been injured. If the nerve is compressed or "pinched," the solution typically involves cutting or removing tissue (not the nerve itself) to open the space up around the nerve so the nerve is no longer under pressure. If the nerve has been physically cut, it may be sewn back together directly or repaired via the use of a nerve graft. If a nerve is stuck in scar tissue, it may need to be freed up so it can glide through the tissue again. If the nerve has been damaged beyond repair or if it's not an important nerve, sometimes the best course of action is to disconnect the nerve so that it can no longer send a pain signal to the brain.
I did a nerve study and it came back negative. So why do I need nerve surgery? – EMG (Electromyelogram) and Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) studies are rarely useful in diagnosing or pinpointing the source of a peripheral nerve problem. Particularly in complex cases, the EMG/NCV studies will usually be either completely normal or identify only a small portion of the problem. By far, the best way to diagnose a peripheral nerve problem is by taking a careful history combined with a comprehensive peripheral nerve examination.
My doctor says my injury is healed. I get the feeling he/she thinks I am imagining the pain. Could I be? – The pain from peripheral nerve damage will often persist long after the trauma from the original injury or surgery has long since healed. The difficulty for patients with peripheral nerve pain is that they often appear "normal" to the rest of the medical world. Most doctors do not know how to recognize or evaluate peripheral nerve injuries. This problem is compounded by the fact that peripheral nerve injuries typically don't show up on imaging studies (X-ray, CT scans, MRIs) or Electromyogram/Nerve Conduction Velocity (EMG/NCV) studies. As a result, treating physicians are usually left baffled by the source of the pain and frequently start to question the patient's true motives (i.e. drug seeking) or even their sanity.
Why don't other physicians have knowledge about and readily recommend this type of surgery? – The first part of the problem is that the vast majority of physicians do not learn anything beyond the basics about the peripheral nervous system. Without this knowledge base, most doctors can't recognize a peripheral nerve injury even when they are looking right at it. The second part of the problem is that even they do suspect peripheral nerve damage, most doctors don't know what to do for the patient other than prescribe pain medication themselves or send them to a pain management doctor. The field of surgery that Dr. Tollestrup practices is relatively new and most doctors are not even aware that it exists.
Why is no one else doing peripheral nerve surgery? Sounds too good to be true? – Actually, peripheral nerve surgery has been around for a long time. The traditional approach to peripheral nerve surgery has historically focused on serious nerve injuries that affect the ability to move muscles. Until very recently, no one had ever taken a comprehensive approach to the peripheral nervous system with the primary goal of solving chronic pain problems. As a result, there are very few doctors who have the training and expertise necessary to tackle complex peripheral nerve problems where the primary symptom is chronic pain.
Do all patients get relief from Dr. Tollestrup's surgery? – No. There are very few things that are absolute in medicine. Peripheral nerve surgery is not the answer to all types of chronic pain. As a general rule, the more complex the problem the higher the chance the patient may not obtain complete relief from their pain. While Dr. Tollestrup can usually relieve the pain completely, some patients only experience partial relief. Even partial relief with pain levels reduced to a manageable level, however, can improve the patient's quality of life.
I would love to see stories about other patients like me. Can you refer me to any patient stories and testimonials? – Tollestrup's patients are more than happy to share their stories. In fact, they are somewhat evangelistic in that they want to spread the word about his practice to reach other people suffering from chronic pain. You can read their stories here and watch video testimonials here.
How soon can I anticipate relief? – The rate of relief from original symptoms following peripheral nerve surgery depends on a number of factors. If a nerve has been cut and sewn back together, the rate of growth of the nerve is about a millimeter a day or an inch a month. IF the symptoms are due to nerve compression which compromises the blood flow to the nerve but the nerve is otherwise essentially healthy, then relief can be almost immediate. The longer and more severely the nerve has been compressed, the longer recovery may take. Pain symptoms tend go away much quicker than return of normal sensation in severely injured nerves. It can take months or even more than a year in some cases for numbness or sensory loss to resolve. In general, nerve recovery rates are faster in younger patients although nerve regeneration and functional improvement are also commonly seen in elderly patients as well.
How can I pay for the surgery? – For patients paying cash, cash rates for Dr. Tollestrup's surgeries can be provided once he determines the scope of the problem and maps out what he will need to do surgically. For patients who have insurance that Dr. Tollestrup does not accept, cash payment will be required up front and then our office will work with the patient to help them get reimbursed.
Does Insurance cover these surgeries? – Dr. Tollestrup accepts many insurance options. Calling the office is the best way to find out if your specific insurance plan is accepted or not. Dr. Tollestrup's surgical procedures are covered by most insurance carriers.

A Yellow weather warning for wind and rain has been issued by the Met Office for Northern Ireland.
In an alert the Met Office say heavy rain should be expected between 4pm on Tuesday [September 12] and 6am on Wednesday [September 13].
This is the second weather warning to be issued today with forecasters also issuing a weather warning for wind between 8pm on Tuesday [September 12] and 10am on Wednesday [September 13].
Met Office forecasters said: "Heavy rain is expected later on Tuesday and early on Wednesday across parts of Northern Ireland and southern Scotland.
"This may cause flooding on the transport network, with spray and difficult driving conditions due to the combination of rain and wind.
In an earlier Yellow weather warning for wind, Met Office forecasters said: "Very strong winds with gusts of 55-65 mph, perhaps reaching 75 mph in exposed places, are looking increasingly likely on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
"Longer journey times by road, rail and air are likely, with restrictions on roads and bridges. There is also a chance of power cuts, and damage to trees and perhaps buildings.
"Heavy rain is expected later on Tuesday and early on Wednesday across parts of Northern Ireland and southern Scotland.

Q: Checkbox stateSave in Datatables Table disappears after Cache Refresh (all other stateSaves working) Note: Among the obvious (DataTables, jQuery) I am using..

*

*jquery-datatables-checkboxes/1.2.9/css/dataTables.checkboxes.css

*jquery-datatables-checkboxes/1.2.9/js/dataTables.checkboxes.min.js

*select/1.2.5/css/select.dataTables.min.css

*select/1.2.5/js/dataTables.select.min.js
And using a live API call to populate my tables.
As described in the title, all other saveStates seem to be functioning as they should in localStorage (paging, ordering, etc), after a hard refresh on my datatable.
With checkboxes, I've gotten them to remain in a semi-saved state, meaning if I refresh they stay, but after a cache refresh (ctrl+f5), they are gone.
I'm assuming this has something to do with the stateSaveCallback and stateLoadCallback.. and there are also some things such as StateLoaded, StateLoadParams, StateSaveParams in the dataTables stateSave documentation.
Here is my Datatable Initalization at the bottom of my page.

The PHP and HTML seem to be working and populating fine, so I don't think posting the full script is necessary, but here is the checkbox portion and a glance
// getting the variables from the API call

$results .= "
$rowCount	 . . . . .

I am using is the gyroscope datatables checkboxes plug-in, which requires a custom id (hence $rowCount which is just an $i++ increment a for each loop.
But as stated, stateSave is working fine for all other elements. Checkboxes and other inputs are apparently a special breed?
And honestly I tried many things, but most either worked strangely or broke the script. The initialization above is actually the best I could get it. I would post a demo but because it's an API initialization I can't do so.
Anyone, please, have been through this or have an idea of what I can do?
This seems to be a common problem, with stateSaving through elements like this. Checkboxes, drop-downs. I'm assuming the checkboxes need to be held in localStorage properly and once again retrieved, but a solution is hard to sculpt for me and there is little information that I've found that directly addresses this.
The Gyrocode DataTables CheckBox plug-in is actually pretty well documented, and illustrates examples of stateSave and keepConditions on their site, but all has fallen short thus far. It probably has something to do with how I am retrieving the data and needing a special condition to retrieve it. That is my best guess thus far.
Looking through the gyroscope examples, I see a method he is using to capture the checkbox data in datatables
var rows_selected = table.column(0).checkboxes.selected();

      // Iterate over all selected checkboxes
      $.each(rows_selected, function(index, rowId){
         // Create a hidden element
         $(form).append(
             $('<input>')
                .attr('type', 'hidden')
                .attr('name', 'id[]')
                .val(rowId)
         );
      });

So this illustrates getting the checkbox data through datatables -- in this example through a form submit.
What am I missing that will persist the checkboxes like the other elements alongside it?
I am using the latest dataTables as of 4/02/2018, v1.10.16.

A: There has been a bug corrected in the jQuery DataTables Checkboxes plug-in in version 1.10.11 that prevented proper state saving on subsequent page reloads, see this issue #64.
Use the latest release and the problem with state saving should go away.

It's an old thing. I had almost forgotten it. Yesterday, we were having a discussion when a friend of mine popped out, "I am a true citizen of the country". When asked why, he stated coz he is a baniya by caste. I am a baniya too. So when he said that Baniyas are the true citizen of the nation. I couldn't but spare a laugh.
During my 11th std, there was a teacher of mine who used to tease the baniya students among the lot with the same line. It went like, "Bete aap baniya ho? Are aap to desh ke saache nagrik ho" Dumbstruck when the student looked at him, he explained it further. Everyone would just roll with laughter.
A lot many of us might have read "Desh ke sabse aache nagrik baniye", painted on the walls, baners, road sides etc. "देश के सच्चे नागरिक बनिए". Offcially it means, become a true citizen of the nation but just for fun of it we read it like, "देश के सच्चे नागरिक, बनिए". It's the game of how u read it (with a pause after nagrik) so it becomes, baniyas are the true citizen of the nation.
So all you baniyas out there, remember, We are the true citizens of the country.

Everyday Myths
How Time Works
by Marshall Brain
The Calendar: Months
The moon is where the concept of a month comes from. Many cultures used months whose lengths were 29 or 30 days (or some alternation) to chop up a year into increments. The main problem with this sort of system is that moon cycles, at 29.5 days, do not divide evenly into the 365.25 days of a year.
When you look at the modern calendar, the months are extremely confusing. One has 28 or 29 days, some have 30 days and the rest have 31 days. According to the "World Book Encyclopedia," here is how we got such a funny calendar:
The Romans started with a 10-month calendar in 738 B.C., borrowing from the Greeks. The months in the original Roman calendar were Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November and December. The names Quintilis through December come from the Roman names for five, six, seven, eight, nine and 10. This calendar left 60 or so days unaccounted for.
The months Januarius and Februarius were later added to the end of the year to account for the 60 spare days.
In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar changed the calendar. Ignoring the moon but keeping the existing 12 month's names, the year was divided into 12 months having 30 or 31 days, except Februarius at the end with 29 days. Every fourth year, Februarius gained an extra day. Later, he decided to make Januarius the first month instead of Martius, making Februarius the second month, which explains why leap day is at such a funny point in the year.
After Julius' untimely death, the Romans renamed Quintilis in his honor, hence July.
Similarly, Sextilis was renamed to honor Augustus, hence August. Augustus also moved a day from Februarius to Augustus so that it would have the same number of days as Julius.
This little history explains why we have 12 months, why the months have the number of days they have, why leap day falls at such an odd time and why the months have such funny names.
What about weeks? Days, months and years all have a natural basis, but weeks do not. They come straight out of the Bible:
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt though labor, and do all thy work but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God. (Exodus 20:8)
This fourth commandment, of course, echoes the creation story in Genesis.
The Romans gave names to the days of the week based on the sun, the moon and the names of the five planets known to the Romans:
These names actually carried through to European languages fairly closely, and in English the names of Sunday, Monday and Saturday made it straight through. The other four names in English were replaced with names from Anglo-Saxon gods. According to Encyclopedia Britannica:
Tuesday comes from Tiu, or Tiw, the Anglo-Saxon name for Tyr, the Norse god of war. Tyr was one of the sons of Odin, or Woden, the supreme deity after whom Wednesday was named. Similarly, Thursday originates from Thor's-day, named in honour of Thor, the god of thunder. Friday was derived from Frigg's-day, Frigg, the wife of Odin, representing love and beauty, in Norse mythology.

The Apprentice is a reality tv show where contestants are split into teams ("corporations") to test their business skills: selling products, raising money for charity, creating an advertising campaign. Teams and individuals are judged by objective measures of success, and by the subjective opinions of the host. Episodes end with one contestant being told in no uncertain terms: "You're fired!"
Donald Trump hosted the first 14 seasons. In the world of The Apprentice, Trump knew best and Trump had a clear mandate to push his opinions and judgment onto everyone else. It didn't really matter if he was wise or knowledgeable, rude or ridiculous. Those were the rules, and if you didn't like them, you wouldn't, presumably, apply to go on the show.
It's comfortable and clear cut. Not just Trump confined to the world of celebrity entertainment, though that certainly appeals to me, but one person in charge of defining success and failure, setting up and holding the boundaries of business, while other lesser beings bring their creativity and hopes and efforts and experiments, but ultimately fall in line with verdicts from on high.
A question I find myself circling around and around at the moment is this:
Who gets to hold boundaries in place and who gets to push and break them?
This question applies at home where I have created and failed at many boundaries:
We do not watch Chuck Chicken
We don't hurt people by hitting, kicking, shoving, strangling, pushing them off the edge of the trampoline
Children have a bedroom and a bed and stay there all night
Some of these boundaries I don't have the energy to hold and it frustrates me (Chuck Chicken and other appaling shows), some I hold to despite many breaches (hurting), and some I have decided are merely modern western assumptions and don't actually matter to me (sleeping arrangements).
But of course the question is pressing in the church too. It's relevant within the life of our church; we've considered children joining communion, what kind of faith qualifies a person for membership, who can be married here. And it's relevant in the wider Baptist church and global church; who is there space for, who has a voice, who has a place at the table, who needs to wait in the corner or on the doorstep while others discuss them.
Some of these boundary issues are specks in my rear view mirror. Should women preach and lead? Others are more current, but for me, resolved. Can LGBT+ people be complete and full participants in church life and God's love? And then others don't feel as easy, but I can see that I have boundaries and assumptions that will be challenged, deserve to be challenged, and I will have to listen and process and discern with my community. Polyamory and discipleship? Interfaith worship? Post faith leadership? Genetic modification. Euthanasia. Baptists becoming more aligned with our Baptist roots? Baptists becoming less aligned with our Baptist roots?
Who gets to hold boundaries and who gets to push and break them in the church?
The short answer is God.
But the long answer is a bit more complicated.
Chloe's reading is the follow up from the text last week. Chapter 10 was the story as it unfolded, of Peter and Cornelius, receiving visions, swapping (illicit) hospitality, the Holy Spirit poured out on Gentiles who had always been "other", and Peter concluding they could be baptised – they were full and complete participants, God had welcomed them; Jews and Gentiles alike were equal believers together.
Chapter 10 was a story about expansion, disruption, surprise; all God's activity. Assumptions, patterns, mindsets and worldviews were challenged and changed – but everyone seemed to agree that this came from God – they were following God's lead.
So Jewish Peter, Gentilic Cornelius, and their various comrades are satisfied and united. But the believers in Jerusalem, the centre, are shocked and dismayed. They demand an account of Peter's actions: why did he go to uncircumcised men and eat with them? Never mind that the Spirit was poured out on them – what was Peter doing at close enough proximity to find out?!
The Jerusalem believers end up delighted. But if they hadn't recognised God at work in Peter's account, which let's face it was a possibility, they could have made life very difficult for this new group and the stance of embrace.
Chapters 10 and 11 are repetitious, but as the events are told and retold, different elements are emphasized, and clarity and conviction seem to grow in the retelling. In the original account Peter is puzzling over the vision of the animal banquet from heaven when Cornelius' men arrive, and the Spirit says to him "get up, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them." When Peter retells it in chapter 11, he says "The Spirit told me to go with them and not to make a distinction between them and us."
In the NRSV, Peter's rhetorical question to the indignant Jewish believers in Jerusalem is "…who was I that I could hinder God". James Boyce suggests that a more accurate translation would be: "…what powerdid I have to stand in the way of God?"
The answer to this is both; none – it is all God's power and God's activity, but also; plenty – you are a Jewish man in a fledgling faith community where maleness and Jewishness are privileged. I'm not saying that to criticise Peter, but to notice he uses the power he has to speak up for others.
Cornelius is also a man with plenty of power. Probably more social power than Peter, good standing, well respected even in Jewish circles, though not a full convert to Judaism. But he is the not the person giving an account of his faith, his experience of the God of Jesus Christ, the Spirit. At this stage he is so other and outer that he doesn't have a platform to present his case.
All the more important that Peter uses the power he does have to give expression to the recent experience of this group of Gentiles. In time Gentiles can and will speak for themselves. But in the first instance, Peter uses his power to clear a path for their voices and experiences.
Because experience is critical to this story.
Peter is capable of arguing a theological case. But he doesn't. He recounts his experience. "This is what happened. This is what I realised."
Our B4NP podcast discussion group has noticed how often people discussing their unpacking of the bible and what it means in their faith talk about the importance of experience.
Richard Rohr, from a Catholic tradition, said we move forward on a tricycle of faith, and needing three sturdy wheels – tradition, scripture, and experience – and experience is the front wheel. The gift of faith comes through experience first.
And Rachel Held Evans, from an evangelical protestant tradition, commented: "None of us leave ourselves at the door when we come to read the bible."
Like me, you might be more familiar with a faith background where absolute truth and subjective experience are pitted against each other, with truth being good and trustworthy and experience being flakey and unreliable (and often the domain of hysterical women). We've seen some horrific citing of bible and truth coming out of the states in the last week or so.
But Peter has no doubt that experience must be shared, heard, acknowledged.
So what I'm trying on for size, wondering about with my faith community, as a measure of who gets to hold boundaries and who gets to challenge them; who gets to demand to join the conversation and who gets to decide to allow or deny, is this:
Anyone is welcome to have a stance. To hold a boundary or to push it. But they have to own the experience that brings them to hold or push that boundary.
In this way we can be together, with different opinions, desiring different outcomes; with the equal footing of experience. If you want to oppress and repress you have to own that, not blame it on an external authority – how has your experience of God convinced you of this boundary? And if you want to shift and move, own that too. How has your experience of God convinced you this boundary must shift?
Mitzi Smith, a womanist biblical scholar comments regarding this text "God will disrupt and interrupt the boundaries humans construct."
God, here at least, does so by giving people an experience, and then a witness to an experience, of another way of being.

The largest global opportunity discovery platform for young people across the world, Youth Opportunities launched its Bangla website on Tuesday. State Minister for ICT Affairs Zunaid Ahmed Palak opened the website at Software Technology Park in Dhaka's Janata Tower. Youth Opportunities provides equal and easy access to different opportunities to the global youth for free. For its value-additive work, Youth Opportunities has received several awards including the Queen's Young Leaders Award from Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II in 2016, Forbes Under 30 in Asia etc. Last year, it has launched a mobile application which received the National Mobile Application Award from the the government's ICT Division and is being used by more than 50,000 users across the world. Young people all over Bangladesh can find information on several national and international opportunities in Bangla. "The website will be a great platform for the Bangladeshi youth to get timely and easy access to several opportunities, and help them in self-development" said Palak. Co-founders of Youth Opportunities Osama Bin Noor and Makshudul AM Manik spoke about the services Youth Opportunities is providing at the launching program. "Many Bangladeshi youth are still not comfortable in English, and that discourages them to apply for different opportunities and lag behind. We are certain that Youth Opportunities Bangla will lead them to towards their personal development" said Osama, Makshud said: "Youth Opportunities will ensure greater awareness and easier access of several national and international opportunities to rural and urban Bangladeshi youth" The program was also attended by senior government officials, prominent social and business leaders, respected academics and media personalities.

Home Alt coins Zilliqa – A Next Generation, High-Throughput Blockchain
Zilliqa – A Next Generation, High-Throughput Blockchain
By Zoran Spirkovski -
The world of cryptocurrencies is diverse, to say the least. There are blockchains cropping up for all sorts of use-cases, ranging from payment platforms and digital identity systems, to ambitious offerings such as decentralized operating systems, file storage, and voting systems.
Out of all blockchain aspects, platform-based cryptocurrencies tend to be met with the most enthusiasm from the community, as they often best illustrate the potential of the blockchain technology, having their own unique set of rules, and protocols which allow other technologies to be built on top of them. Platform-based offerings form the bulk of the largest cryptocurrencies, often because of the huge support they garner during their initial development phase. Five of the current top 10 platform cryptocurrencies have been launched via an ICO, demonstrating the power of the funding method, and the demand for blockchain platforms.
With the top marketcap ranks dominated by heavy-duty platforms such as Ethereum, Cardano, and NEO you might think that the platform segment is already cornered by these titans. While that might be true, most platforms suffer under one shared problem – scaling. The Ethereum network currently operates with a limit of around 10 transactions per second (tx/s), just a little bit above the limit for Bitcoin and Cardano which is set at 7tx/s. Because of this transaction speed bottleneck, many have expressed doubt about the ability of cryptocurrencies to compete with traditional systems such as VISA, which is capable of over 4,000 tx/s. However, this was before the advent of Zilliqa (ZIL).
Zilliqa sees itself as a platform that can securely scale in an open, permission-less environment by using an infinitely scalable protocol. Unlike other platforms which intend to scale with off-chain solutions (for example the Lightning Network on BTC and the Raiden Network on ETH), Zilliqa is designed to scale on-chain using a parallel processing solution now known as "Sharding." By segmenting blocks into separate shards each running the Zilliqa protocol, the platform allows the throughput of the network to scale at an almost linear rate, as new nodes are added to the network.
On its first testnet, Zilliqa achieved 612 tx/s using just 2 shards. A month later, Zilliqa managed to achieve 2,488 tx/s using 6 shards. Demonstrating linear scaling of their platform. Using this sharding approach, Zilliqa has already managed to achieve a peak of almost 2,500 tx/s on its testnet, using just 3,600 nodes and 6 shards. This on its own is a remarkable feat, being around 250 times higher than Ethereum, a blockchain currently bogged down by so-called spam transactions from decentralized applications (dApps). Not to mention that it does this without sacrificing decentralization or security. The team behind Zilliqa predict that their system will be able to compete with VISA in terms of scaling as soon as they reach 10,000 nodes.
A fine-tuned system
Besides simply separating its blockchain into shards, Zilliqa also features several protocol upgrades that address shortcomings of other networks, some of these include:
Using proof-of-work (PoW) only to establish mining identities and perform network sharding, rather than as a consensus protocol, greatly reducing the computational burden of transactions and hence energy footprint. Unlike most other blockchains which use PoW to create every block, with Zilliqa PoW is performed at larger intervals, without opening the network to a Sybil attack
Rather than using PoW to give finality to transactions, Zilliqa instead uses Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) to achieve consensus within each shard. In essence, this means all nodes within a consensus group (one shard) are used to validate a record in a three-step process, leading to either acceptance or rejection
Incomplete data-flow smart contracts. Like other cryptocurrencies, Zilliqa allows decentralized applications to be built upon its ledger, however, unlike others, Zilliqa allows parallel data flow, hence massively reducing computational burden. Its smart contracts are not Turing complete, but this does make them more computationally efficient by reducing redundancy
Future Prospects
Most people would agree that scaling is one of the biggest problems cryptocurrencies are battling today. A variety of different approaches have been considered, ranging from simple block size increases, to channel-based solutions, but the best possible solution is still widely debated. Zilliqa comes at a time where a transaction backlog is a common occurrence for most cryptocurrencies, as decentralized applications clog up the network, and they are growing faster than scaling changes can be made.
However, Zilliqa is not the only cryptocurrency promising VISA level throughput. The platform faces stiff competition from rivals including EOS and XRP, both of which promise over 1,000 tx/s in the near future, with the potential go beyond. Regardless of who wins this race, I think we can all agree that the future of decentralized applications, and perhaps blockchains in general, rests on the scaling question. Whether these attempts can truly match VISA is yet to be seen.
If you are looking to learn more about Zilliqa, their official website has a variety of information, documentation and sources. If you are looking to get involved and purchase some ZIL, it is listed on several exchanges, including the Binance exchange, which has been reviewed by us before.

The Aftermath (sau Zombie Aftermath) este un film de groază SF american din 1982 regizat de Steve Barkett.

Prezentare
Trei astronauți se întorc pe Pământ după un holocaust nuclear, deși unul moare la aterizare din cauza unui accident. Cei doi supraviețuitori, Newman (Steve Barkett) și Matthews, se întâlnesc cu niște mutanți înainte de a descoperi că orașul Los Angeles a fost complet distrus.

Căutând adăpost, bărbații se refugiază într-un conac abandonat. Newman întâlnește mai târziu un băiat, Chris, ascuns într-un muzeu cu curatorul (Forrest J Ackerman). După ce curatorul moare, Newman îl ia pe Chris în grija sa. În timp ce  caută provizii într-o zi, Newman și Chris se întâlnesc cu Sarah, care fuge de o bandă de bicicliști nelegiuiți condusă de Cutter (Sid Haig). Acești supraviețuitori decid să lupte împotriva acestei bande în pustietatea post-apocaliptică.

Q: eventClick not fired in custom view I use Fullcalendar.js latest.
I tried to extend the list view and I was able to define my own and see it up to the display, but the eventClick does not fire.
How can I fix this?
      { sliceEvents, createPlugin, Calendar } = FullCalendar

      CustomViewConfig = {
        classNames: [ 'fc-list table-bordered fc-list-sticky fc-listDay-view fc-view' ],

          ...

          return { html: html }
      }

      CustomViewPlugin = createPlugin({
        views: {
          customList: CustomViewConfig
        },
        eventClick: (arg)->

The Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum In Barcelona
Courtesy of Hemp Museum Gallery Barcelona
Located inside a 16th century palace, the Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum is Barcelona's premier center dedicated to the history, use and rite of hemp and marijuana. Opened in 2012, it is one of the city's most popular museums and the pride and joy of its owner, Dutch entrepreneur Ben Dronkers.
Although the consumption of marijuana is not legal in public places in Spain, cities like Barcelona have a number of private smoking clubs in which members can puff away to their heart's content. It's perhaps no surprise then that Ben Dronkers, an entrepreneur from the Netherlands, chose the Catalan capital as the home of his second museum dedicated entirely to this most famous of plant families.
Dronkers's first related project was the well-known Hash, Marihuana & Hemp museum in Amsterdam which he set up back in 1985. His love affair with hemp — the cannabis plant you don't smoke — began back when he was a young man and traveled the world with merchant ships. Researching fabrics for his own line of clothing wear, he discovered the many properties of hemp textile and became fascinated with the history of the fabric's use.

Eventually, he also discovered the properties of hemp's more psychoactive cousin, marijuana, and began collecting smoking related paraphernalia from across the world. The history of the plant's consumption around the world reaches far back in time and in many cultures it continues to feature in everyday life.
A lifelong fan of Barcelona, Dronkers idea to open a second museum here in the city arose in 2002 after he purchased a former palace that had recently fallen into disrepair. Known as the Palau Mornau, the building had been commissioned by the noble Catalan family, the Santcliments. In the 20th century, under ownership of the brother of the city's mayor, the building was given a makeover, in keeping with the prevalent style of the time, known as Catalan Modernism. This involved the addition of a number of colorful stained glass windows as well as organic patterns and details such as floral-shaped ironwork.

After a 10-year renovation project, the museum finally opened its doors to the public in 2012 and has since attracted thousands of curious visitors each year. More than just a cult to the world of marijuana smoking, the museum aims to educate visitors about the many advantages to the use of hemp in the industrial world, and raise awareness of the history of its use in time — some say America would never have been discovered, were it not for the light-weight and highly resilient hemp sails the boats used.
The museum is laid out in a number of rooms, each dedicated to a different theme: popular culture, industrial hemp, marijuana and hash as well as medicine. The permanent collection contains some 8,000 items on display including smoking pipes, old medicine boxes or hemp ropes, as well as replicas of masterpieces from the art world depicting themes related to hemp and marijuana. The variety of objects on show and themes addressed by the exhibits (questions of legality, ethics and industry for instance) mean that there's no need to be an amateur herbalist to enjoy a trip to the museum.


In the news recently: Future Surgeons May Use Robotic Nurse, 'Gesture Recognition'.
ScienceDaily (Feb. 3, 2011) — Surgeons of the future might use a system that recognizes hand gestures as commands to control a robotic scrub nurse or tell a computer to display medical images of the patient during an operation.
I have noticed similar projects earlier, where surgeons in the OR were target users of gesture recognition. The basic idea behind this niche application area for gesture recognition is fairly simple: A surgeon wants to control an increasing battery of technological systems and he does not want to touch them, because that would increase the chance of infections. So, he can either gesture or talk to the machines (or let other people control them).
In this case the surgeon is supposed to control a robotic nurse with gestures (see more about the robotic nurse here). You can also view a nice video about this story here; it is a main story of the latest Communications of the ACM.
Well, I have to say I am in doubt if this is a viable niche for gesture recognition. So far, speech recognition has been used with some succes to dictate operating reports during the procedure. I don't know if it has been used to control computers in the OR. Frankly, it sounds a bit scary and also a bit slow. Gesture and speech recognition are known for their lack of reliability and speed. Compared to pressing a button, for example, they give more errors and time delays. Anything that is mission-critical during the operation should therefore not depend on gesture or speech control would be my opinion.
However, the real question is what the alternatives for gesture or speech control are and how reliable and fast those alternatives are. For example, if the surgeon has to tell another human what to do with the computer, for example displaying a certain image, then this can also be unreliable (because of misinterpretations) and slow.
The article mentions several challenges: "… providing computers with the ability to understand the context in which gestures are made and to discriminate between intended gestures versus unintended gestures". That sounds like they also run into problems with fidgeting or something similar that surgeons do.
In sum, it will be interesting to see if surgeons will be using gesture recognition in the future, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Juul gave marketing presentations to schoolchildren in the guise of "mental health/addiction" seminars
Juul is the cash-flush e-cigarette company whose billions (invested by Marlboro's parent company) have allowed it to create a massive market of addicted children, wiping out decades of progress in weaning children off of nicotine.
Now, the FDA has demanded that Juul answer claims that the company sent marketing representatives to schools to present during "mental health/addiction" seminars, where children were exposed to marketing messages promoting Juul products, told they were "totally safe" and "the Iphone of e-cigarettes." A Juul rep told a child who asked for advice for a friend who was addicted to nicotine to steer the friend towards using Juul products (the friend was already addicted to Juul products).
Juul's US-based products are stronger than those sold in other countries, with much higher levels of addictive nicotine.
Berkman's son, Caleb Mintz, and a friend—who also testified at the hearing—said that the presentation was given during one of the school's "mental health slash addiction" seminars, which are held at the school three times a year. The teens, who were in 9th grade at the time, said that to make the seminars a "safe space" where kids could speak openly, teachers are asked to leave the room.
Alone with the students, a Juul representative allegedly presented a "mixed message" by saying Juul products were "totally safe" and then "following up every 'totally safe' with 'but we don't want you as customers.'" The representative also took out a Juul device, called it the "iPhone of vapes," and showed the students how it worked. Caleb testified that his classmates were given the impression that the products were just a "flavor device that didn't have any harmful substances in it."
After the seminar, Caleb said he approached the Juul rep and told him that he had a friend struggling with a nicotine addiction. Caleb asked the rep for advice on behalf of his unnamed friend (who was actually the teen that testified alongside Caleb at the hearing). Caleb didn't mention that his friend was using Juul devices. The Juul rep assumed that Caleb's friend was smoking regular cigarettes. His advice, according to Caleb, was that his friend should switch from cigarettes to Juul.

Schwarzenegger admits he 'tricked' Stallone into starring in one of his worst movies
November 10, 2022 by Hattie Thompson
A Hollywood urban legend claimed that arnold schwarzenegger had been one of the architects so that his colleague, and rival at the time, Sylvester Stallone agree to intervene in a comedy that would later become one of his lowest rated films. We are talking about 'Tall! or my mother shoots of 1992 and directed by Roger Spottiswoode.
The history of their feud dates back to the early 1970s, a decade in which Stallone achieved one of his greatest hits with Rockyand that increased after both acquired their star status, especially after the popular recognition of Schwarzenegger in the 80s thanks to titles such as Conan the barbarian either terminator. The big action cinema seemed like a hand in hand between the two. But, in this particular war, Schwarzenegger won another battle when, in addition to action movies achieved real blockbusters in the field of comedy with The twins knock twice either nursery cops.
Stallone did not want to be less and also tried, without any luck, to stand out with funnier roles and less testosterone. The first attack came with Oscar take your hands off! from 1991, remake of the hilarious French production Oscar: one suitcase, two suitcases, three suitcases from 1967 with Louis de Funès, and the result was a huge hit at the box office and lousy reviews. Then, the following year, another even tougher experience would come, especially in terms of reception by critics and the public, the aforementioned 'Tall! or my mother shoots.
Stallone and Estelle Getty in 'Stop! or my mother shoots'
In a recent interview for The Hollywood ReporterStallone remembered that "Tall! or my mother shoots' it was supposed to be like 'Throw mom from the train' (Throw Momma From the Train), but instead of an unpleasant mother, you hire the kindest woman in Hollywood, Estelle Getty (from the famous series the golden girls), the one you wish your mother was. And that was the end! Also, I had heard that Schwarzenegger was going to do that movie and I said to myself, 'I'm going to beat him.' I think he set me up". To top it off, the comedy brought him a, let's say, relevant nomination as an actor, the seventh in the uncoveted Razzie awards for the worst of the year.
And in that same interview on THR, the medium inserts a comment sent by the other party involved, Schwarzenegger himself, confirming that the rumor is true. In fact, the actor and former governor of California hated the film's script and, in that tough competition for the box office lead, he played a trick on his "friend of his" by spreading the rumor that he was very interested in starring in her. "It's 100 percent true"he assures. "In those days we did all kinds of crazy things to get ahead in our rivalry. Fortunately, for us and for each other, today we support each other. Thank God, because surely we do not need another Tall! or my mother shoots!".
But, hairs to the sea. In the early 1990s, the two not only started a career together as partners, along with Bruce Willisof the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, but already in recent years have shared the spotlight in titles like escape plan or in the saga of The mercenaries promoted by Stallone.

Mount Gilead Middle School students climbed aboard buses last Friday to enjoy their "Spring reward day" at the Columbus Zoo.
Trip organizer, Heather Nicholson said the day was part of the school's reward program. Other reward activities are a trip to Snow Trails for sledding and Cedar Point at year's end.
Each student begins the term with points and if they have enough points at the end of the term they are rewarded with a special day trip or activity. Points are taken away for behavior, grades or attendance.
Eighth grader, Makayla Weaver commented that it was a really fun day. She and her friends were planning to see all the zoo exhibits.
Students were able to visit all the exhibits in groups of four or five and be on their own without teachers for the day. They met up only at noon and at the end of the day to get on their bus for the ride back to school.

If you are a musician with Bristol Youth Orchestra, you are invited to our orchestral training session exploring Haydn's last Symphony Op. 104 "London". This is tied to your orchestral session in December 2016 with musicians from London Symphony Orchestra on the same symphony.
On 22nd January 2017 you will play in the beautiful acoustics of St George's Bristol alongside highly experienced professional musicians from Really Classical, and some especially talented students from Bristol University, and discover why we think that historical performance is vital, inspiring and refreshing.
You will meet some old instruments with gut strings, fewer keys and very different sounds from their modern versions, and discover some new ways to bring old music to life.
Friends and parents can find more information about tickets on the St George's website here.
The morning chamber music workshops are now open to members of Bristol Youth Orchestra and Bristol Pre-Con. Priority is given to particularly accomplished young musicians, and spaces are limited. You will be playing Classical chamber music with professional historical performance specialists. No prior historical performance experience is needed.
This is organised through BYO's conductor Eiron Bailey or through Jonathan James of Bristol Pre-Con. Please contact them for more information.

GiNN-BerlinKontor.—From The White House: President Donald J. Trump: From now on, we expect trading relationships to be fair and to be reciprocal. China has consistently taken advantage of the American economy with practices that undermine fair and reciprocal trade.
China's industrial policies, such as its "Made in China 2025″ plan, harm companies in the United States and around the world.
China has aggressively sought to obtain technology from American companies and undermine American innovation and creativity.
President Trump has worked to defend America's intellectual property and proprietary technology from theft and other threats.
The United States will impose a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion of goods imported from China containing industrially significant technology, including those related to the "Made in China 2025″ program. The final list of covered imports will be announced by June 15, 2018.

Romney, Mormonism and Christians
Posted on May 24, 2012 by Parson Brown | Leave a comment
Luther in one of his more famous quotes (and very shocking for the time) said, "I'd rather be ruled by a wise Turk than a foolish Christian."
I've read two stories about Mr. Romney lately that were surprising. The first from Megan McArdle's Atlantic blog (by a guest writer).
[O]ur family had out-grown our small home, so we found a larger one and put the word out that we would appreciate any help in loading and unloading our rented moving truck. Among those who showed up that morning was Mitt Romney, now the governor of Massachusetts, who had just completed his unsuccessful campaign for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. Mitt had a broken collarbone, but for two hours traipsed between our home and the truck, carrying out whatever he could manage with his one good arm.
The second from the NYT through Rod Dreher.
Nearly two decades ago, Randy and Janna Sorensen approached Mr. Romney, then a church official, for help: unable to have a baby on their own, they wanted to adopt but could not do so through the church, which did not facilitate adoptions for mothers who worked outside the home.
Devastated, they told Mr. Romney that the rule was unjust and that they needed two incomes to live in Boston. Mr. Romney helped, but not by challenging church authorities. He took a calculator to the Sorensen household budget and showed how with a few sacrifices, Ms. Sorensen could quit her job. Their children are now grown, and Mr. Sorensen said they were so grateful that they had considered naming a child Mitt. (The church has since relaxed its prohibition on adoption for women who work outside the home.)
What both of those stories tell me, and let's be clear these are not from right-wing sources seeking to put a halo on Mr. Romney, what they tell me is about something at the core of the man. For a guy who seems to be open the the charge of "there is no there, there", both of those stories tell me there is a significant there, there. Think about that first one for a second. Mormonism isn't exactly a big thing in Massachusetts. This article says that Mitt's stake (what mormon's might call a circuit or a district in lutheran speak) was about 1000 members all told. Those 1000 members would have been distributed over 5 – 10 individual congregations. So, Mr. Romney's own congregation was probably similar in size or maybe a little bigger than St. Mark's. It was not a mega-church outpost. The sitting governor of your state, who has broken a collarbone and just lost a senate campaign, shows up to move furniture. That is an outrageous use of time from a utilitarian standpoint. Then Gov. Romney could probably have paid a couple of college kids to do it and still been dollars ahead. Heck, he could have sent a couple of intern staffers. But, he saw something about his church community that it was more valuable to express community by his own person showing up.
The second story is about how Mr. Romney approached what my be labeled as a typical "feelings" story. Church doctrine said something: families are important enough to have in a quaint term a homemaker. The church would not place a child into a home that did not have one. That doctrine created a conflict with a felt need. The parishoner had a felt need to adopt a child. Anyone who has been part of at least mainline churches in the last 30 years knows that when a doctrine meets a felt need, the doctrine collapses like a house of cards. What do we need to honor these dusty rules for, people are hurting!
What Mr. Romney did was: a) uphold the doctrine as both good and proper, and b) put himself on the line to show how it might be followed and actually help one's life. Folding the doctrine was the easy way out. Mr. Romney himself was not going to change it immediately to help his person. It would have been very easy to agree with the felt need, write a stern note about how it should be changed, commiserate with the parishoner about the heartless church and point her to secular sources. But instead of painting himself as the emotional good guy, Mr. Romney did the hard thing. He taught and built and sustained a mature relationship.
I say this completely as a Lutheran minister. While I think the Mormon doctrine is a dangerous Christian heresy, the most attractive thing about Mr. Romney is his Mormonism and how he lives it. The wisdom shown in those two stories is deep. Luther's quote I started with is a shocking application of the Two-Kingdom's theology. What is needed in the kingdom of the left, the political kingdom of the here and now, is not necessarily piety but wisdom. Not that piety is bad, but one can be a pious fool. That person should be kept far away from the sword of government. (As was said of King Steven – "a good man who did no justice".) The Mr. Romney in those two vignettes would easily qualify as a wise Turk.

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Climax
The Service Club (Hachiman Hikigaya, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Yui Yuigahama) is losing its faculty advisor, Shizuka Hiratsuka, to retirement, and dissolving- and our three principals now have to decide what to do about each other.
Season 3 continues the progression of our characters we noted in the "bridge" season (Season 2), and finally brings us to the inevitable life choices that may leave some of our cast hurt. Many shows with two (or more!) possible pairings for their male lead refuse to commit, out of a desire to keep the franchise going forever and/or to avoid offending the fans, but SNAFU DOES give us a (more or less) final conclusion, a fact I find admirable- even though I was VERY much a partisan of the one who LOST.
SNAFU's little "triangle" has always been a bit unusual. Hachiman himself identifies the relationship as a triangle, but Yukino's pain-in-the-rear older sister Haruno more prosaically diagnoses the relationship of the three as "co-dependency". And honestly, BOTH have a point; for Yui and Yukino are nearly as close to each other as either is to Hachiman, and if Hachiman elects a romantic relationship with either one, two close relationships may get sundered rather than just one.
The show continues to approach all this (and much else) rather obliquely, though- getting someone to simply SAY "I love you" in this show is nearly as difficult as pulling teeth- and the question of who will be in, and who will be out, gets sublimated into side issues, most particularly into a project that consumes much of this season, and which I'll talk about a little later. For most of the season, everyone carefully tiptoes around the "romance", but when the confessions ARE finally made, you'll recognize them, even if they're not (at least at first) all that simple. I've come to think of this show as the Merchant/Ivory of Japanese school comedies- a show trying for subtlety and sophistication in its relationships (at least in Seasons 2 and 3), with Hachiman the sardonic nucleus of the show. If you put humor on a scale with, say, the Three Stooges on one end, and George Bernard Shaw on the other, SNAFU has been aiming for the Shaw end of the spectrum.
The first person in this season who gets their heart a little broken is Hachiman himself. Little Sis Komachi has always gently chided him for alleged "sis-con" tendencies as part of their perpetual banter, but the truth is that she has been the only person who really knew him well enough to advise him on how to act like a properly socialized human being; but in the first episode of this season it becomes clear that Komachi is maturing into a young woman with her own life, and may not be as readily available to advise him in the future as she has been.
Yukino continues to morph into someone very different from how she was when we first met her in Season One. Oh, she's as reserved as ever, but she's moved from her earlier dour sarcasm into a place of actual shyness and vulnerability, as she tries to chart her OWN course in life, sometimes against the wishes of Haruno and their domineering mother. Her mom shows up, representing the parental opposition to a prom- an event which Yukino herself becomes involved in planning. Hachiman of course has his own weirdly contrived plan to overcome the opposition. ("He always takes a roundabout way to his goals that really makes no sense to anyone else".) I could think of several more forthright strategies that might have overcome the resistance; for example, if some of the parents were objecting because they thought some "debauchery" might take place, they could have been invited to participate as chaperones for the event. But Hachiman has always been confident in his strategies- even though his track record's a bit mixed. (Of what he does here, he thinks, "I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person in the world who can use this very appalling and despicable tactic.")
Season 3 brings back pretty much EVERYBODY from the previous two seasons: Hayama (there's a hint that he and Haruno were a thing at one point); Iroha (who's as manipulative as ever, but the position Hachiman helped her land seems to have matured her quite a bit); Ebina (the yaoi fan); Zaimokuza (the otaku); and Kawasaki (who has some really nice moments caring for her younger siblings.) I thought that Ms. Hiratsuka was a bit TOO chummy with Hachiman- he's her STUDENT, after all- though her more relaxed attitude might be somewhat excused by the fact that she's leaving the teaching profession. (And NO, we're NOT talking Why The Hell Are You Here, Teacher? here. Not even CLOSE.) We also meet Yui's mom, who's arguably even more attractive than her daughter, and a little flirtatious as well. Quite a bit different from Yukino's mom, who's the prototypical prim-and-proper wealthy matriarch in traditional Japanese dress.
One reader said they would have gone five stars on Second Season. I'm finally willing to do so on THIS season- again, very much despite the fact that my candidate didn't "win". I guess the person not chosen can console herself with the knowledge that being Hachiman's love interest would have some definite downsides in the long run. And if this IS the Merchant/Ivory of school comedies, maybe it will even find a civilized, and well-mannered, way for even its "losers" to be happy. — Allen Moody
Recommended Audience: Crunchyroll calls this TV-14. I guess for Mature Situations, but it's certainly not for fanservice- this is one of the few shows I can recall where girls are cavorting on a beach fully clothed.
Version(s) Viewed: Streaming on Crunchyroll.

The Grid: A Journey Through the Heart of Our Electrified World
© 2007 Phillip Schewe
In every room there sits a caged beast waiting to cause mischief, but which most of the time is put to honest work, instead. When Thomas Edison began selling electrical service for artificial illumination in the close of the 19th century, did he realize how radically he would transform the world? Steam engines went a long way, but they never took up residence in the house. At the opening of the 21st century, homes are linked together not just by ribbons of asphalt but by buzzing wires overhead, and those are only the first part of a complicated apparatus that can sink an economy for days if it hiccoughs. Phillip Schewe's The Grid is a layman's introduction to the world of the electrical grid, an educational sampler. He lightly touches on the grid's early history, moves into the social relevance of electricity, writes about some of the aspects of electrical infrastructure, and then looks to the future.
It is as the author describes it, a "journey" — rather like passing through a city on a bus and catching a sight of very interesting things but not being able to get out to spend time studying them. The early book is quite jumpy, as the reader passes from early electrical enterprise straight to electricity being seen as vital infrastructure that the government can't leave to the hands of the people who paid to create it. The latter half is more integrated, especially as Schewe uses his chapter on the home's internal electric works to argue that the future of electricity may be more distributive, with solar-paneled homes supplying much of their own electricity and sometimes contributing their excess into the grid. This is followed by a chapter on nuclear plants, the concentrated alternative. The Grid has a frustrating lack of focus, though, and this is worsened by the author's creative gifts. His subject may be mechanical infrastructure, but Schewe waxes lyrical about it — literally, at one point offering commentary in verse form and filling another paragraph with so many allusions to Hamlet that one wonders if he had a quota. Although electricity is regarded by most everyone in the book as an unmitigated good, Schewe vainly includes Lewis Mumford and Henry David Thoreau as counters, both being technological critics, but neither really bares their teeth; it's as impact as someone musing on how over-much we depend on electricity when there's an outage, and then forgetting about it as soon as the lights pop back on. It was a nice gesture, though. The Grid is thus tantalizingly incomplete, offering just a taste and then charging ahead into China or Africa to look for different things to sample.

Wow! This one sounds like a great read – at least if you're interested in the development of technology. As a fan of Tesla I think that I'd like Empires of Light too.
With a personal interest in Tesla it's quite possible you would like it more than I did, as it's largely biography.
