MENTOR brings you a second blog post from our series of highlighting the work of grantees from the Mentoring Enhancement Demonstration Project (MEDP) funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. This innovative project, which began in FY 2012, was intended to test whether mentoring programs could make enhancements to their usual services that strengthened mentors' ability to serve as advocates and take on more of an explicit teaching role with their mentees. The hope was that this approach might strengthen mentor-mentee relationships and lead to stronger outcomes for youth.
Now that the evaluation of the project is coming to a close, we wanted to highlight the unique and innovative approaches to teaching and advocacy developed by several of the funded organizations. These posts highlight their excellent work and can illustrate for other mentoring programs how they might approach program improvements and participate in research projects in the future. The National Mentoring Resource Center thanks each grantee for their contributions to the project and for sharing their reflections with us here.
To capture the experience of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Central Indiana, we decided to learn more about the project through an interview. Check out what they had to say below and feel free to leave a comment!
This blog post is part of a brief series MENTOR has put together highlighting the work of grantees of Mentoring Enhancement Demonstration Project (MEDP) funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. This innovative project, which began in FY 2012, was intended to test whether mentoring programs could make enhancements to their usual services that strengthened mentors' ability to serve as advocates and take on more of an explicit teaching role with their mentees. The hope was that this approach might strengthen mentor-mentee relationships and lead to stronger outcomes for youth.
Below is one of many more blog posts to come detailing MEDP grantees wonderful contributions to the mentoring field.
The Garage Community and Youth Center has been a haven for middle and high school youth living near their two sites in Kennett Square and West Grove, Pennsylvania. Amongst diverse out of school time, programs like arts, community service activities, career coaching, and tutoring, their longstanding mentoring program was a cornerstone for the center. Operated by a tenured staff member with deep organizational knowledge, the program provided high quality mentoring experiences year over year to the Garage students.
While students were receiving high quality services, the Garage staff ran into a common problem. Executive Director Kristin Proto says, "When one person is running [the program], the process lives in that person's head. Doing this assessment can help bring that knowledge back to the organization. We can ask questions like, how does what we say we do translate into what happens on the ground? Is it working? Is what we put into place five years ago still relevant?"
As the fourth largest agency in one of the oldest and most respected brands in the youth mentoring business, one might wonder why Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence Region enthusiastically engaged in a thorough quality assessment of their practices called NQMS or the National Quality Mentoring System. CEO Marcus Allen puts it this way, "As an organization, we must always strive to be better – be better for the kids and families who depend on us, be better for the volunteers who spend nearly 80,000 hours annually to help create stronger communities, and be better for our stakeholders who expect the best from us. The context of mentoring is changing, and the context in which our youth are living their lives is changing. And we need to get out in front of those changes so that we can respond to them proactively."
We are happy to officially launch the NMRC's first podcast series, Reflections on Research, which offers interviews with leading researchers and scholars about their youth mentoring research and how practitioners can use that information to improve their work with volunteers and youth.
Here at the NMRC, we are very invested in applying more research to the work of programs around the country, but also recognize that busy practitioners can have a hard time tracking down research articles in often obscure journals or can struggle to find the time to read lengthy reports from major new studies. The new series of podcasts is designed to make it easier for those working in mentoring programs, as well as funders and policymakers, to hear directly from the research community and learn from leading scholars about exciting new findings and key innovations being tested in their studies.

We are a commercial stage medical device company focused on the development and sale of non-invasive neuromodulation products using our proprietary Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) technology for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), for which we have received marketing authorization from the FDA. Deep TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate neurons and consequently modulates the physiological activity of the brain. Our technology can either increase brain activity in neuronal networks which are hypoactive, or alternatively decrease brain activity in neuronal networks which are hyperactive. Our proprietary electromagnetic coils, which we refer to as H-Coils, are designed to safely stimulate deep and broad brain regions, which we believe provides an advantage over other available TMS products, which we refer to collectively as Focal TMS, that generally use a "figure 8" design. We believe that our Deep TMS technology has the potential to be safe and effective for the treatment of a wide range of psychiatric, neurological and addiction disorders beyond MDD and OCD.

War, scandal and ticker tape – Ossie Ardiles and the 1978 World Cup
by Flav
Photo by Flashbak
Flav, Mundial Magazine and Ossie Ardiles revisit one of the most memorable World Cup tournaments in living memory.
The 1978 World Cup produced one of football's defining images. The host nation Argentina walked onto the pitch of the Estadio Monumental to play in a final that they would go on to win, 3-1, against tournament favourites Netherlands. An avalanche of sky-blue and white ticker tape reigned down and the fans roared a cacophony of passion. TV cameras would capture images like none other seen before at a football match. While the fan culture back in Blighty was having a Stanley knife put through its reputation by journalist and politician alike, the world quite rightly fawned over the carnival atmosphere taking place in South America.
The irony though is that the '78 World Cup had a backdrop bloodier than any terrace of the 70s English game. Two years before the first ball was kicked there had been a military coup in Argentina. In the seven years that followed almost 30,000 people lost their lives.
It's an oft-written theory that the World Cup in '78 was exploited by the military junta as a way to distract the people of Argentina, and the dissenting voices of other nations, from the 'dirty war' that was raging. Squad member and Tottenham Hotspur legend Ricky Villa later admitted, "There is no doubt that we were used politically."
In hindsight it's easy to pick apart the motives of a government who had come to power through bloodshed. It stands to reason that they would use an occasion such a World Cup to give a distorted view of what was actually happening in the country at the time. You would excuse the players if their minds were elsewhere.
Ossie Ardiles is stoical, "Not really. No. It wasn't difficult to play. We were aware of what was happening with the dictatorship obviously. But people don't talk about Brazil in 1970 – one of the best teams I have ever seen play. They win the World Cup in Mexico at a time when their own country was ruled by dictatorship. No one said anything and that is quite right. We [Argentine players] weren't interested in politics; we were there to play football. Imagine trying to win a World Cup and thinking about political statements, you couldn't do it."
Providing escapism for the swaying masses is what football is supposed to be about. So you can understand that for the four weeks during the summer of 1978 all most Argentines probably wanted to think about was the prospect of seeing their nation lift the World Cup. If there was pressure Ossie Ardiles didn't feel it.
"It wasn't that different than any other country before the World Cup. As professional footballers you always feel pressure, it's normal, perhaps a little more as it's in your own country, but not much. In the months leading up to the competition you're just hoping you don't get injured. It comes across once every four years, and if it's in your own country you really don't want to miss it. That was all."
For my team and me it was amazing to win the World Cup. I am very proud of my team and of myself of what we did. But it was hard, and very difficult for us. Politics and sport should remain separate. Always.
The host population knew something about the quality within the squad that the rest of the world did not. Football was different then, indeed this World Cup was a watershed moment, especially in England, for the investment in overseas players. The Argentina squad was largely made up of players that few in England had seen before, the reputation perhaps of one or two preceding their manifestation on the television in the living rooms and pubs of Great Britain for the first time.
Unlike Argentina's talisman Mario Kempes who had established himself with Valencia the year before the 1978 World Cup, Ardiles and the rest of La Albiceleste squad plied their trade as professionals in the domestic league of their home country. Their manager, César Luis Menotti, made it a rule that only players playing in the homeland would be available for selection, which wasn't as outlandish at the time as is might sound now. Kempes was the only exception for no other reason than he was one of the best forwards on the planet. He and Ardiles formed an understanding around which Argentina's success was built.
"I knew Kempes for a long time. We were from a similar area in Argentina so we played together, and I knew him so well. But like with any player you have to play together to understand the way they play. There is a lot of work that goes into a match and players get to know each other by playing in games.
"It was Menotti though who was of paramount importance, without a shadow of a doubt. Argentina had been nowhere near close to winning the World Cup, apart from 38 years prior in 1930 [where they were beaten in the final by Uruguay in the inaugural tournament.] We weren't favourites, there was Holland and West Germany, and to win it… well that was all Menotti really. He convinced us that we were really good, and he meant what he said."
The First Round went relatively smoothly for Menotti's men; they qualified after beating Hungry and France 2-1 in both games. However they lost their final group game to the Italians, and a team lacking self-belief might have suffered from the defeat.
"We were positive." Remembers Ardiles. "The game was very close. They were playing the typical Italian counter attacking style, and they beat us in that way. It was a good result for them, but we were already through so we were not worried. It was a strange game. The stadium [Estadio Monumental] was very big but the pressure from the supporters was not there in this game. We needed more pressure to perform."
It's a phenomenon that affects all football around the world, whether it's the Premier League or the World Cup. A stadium that is electric one game can become insipid in the next. Atmosphere is often created by occasion, and a game that has no consequences can be played out in a subdued atmosphere. There would be no more dead rubbers in this tournament for Argentina.
The format in 1978 meant teams they qualified from the first group stage entered a second group stage. The two teams that finished top of their respective groups reached the final. For Argentina this threw up a scenario that meant that they had to beat Peru in the final game by four clear goals. While Peru had only beaten the hosts three times in 18 previous meetings – none of which had occurred in Argentina – they had only conceded five goals in their last six world cup fixtures.
Having beat Poland 2-0, and managing a goalless draw against the forever dangerous Brazil, La Albiceleste were faced with this magnificent challenge and Surely would provide Ossie and his men with all the pressure they'd need to perform.
We [Argentine players] weren't interested in politics; we were there to play football. Imagine trying to win a World Cup and thinking about political statements, you couldn't do it.
"We knew we had to score four goals. We had played Peru twice before the World Cup. Once in Peru and once in Buenos Aires, and we beat them both times comfortably. So we were very confident going into the game. Peru started well, they hit the post twice during two counter attacks, but we managed to score two before halftime and they just capitulated."
Argentina went on to win the game 6-0. And would meet the Netherlands in the final. And while Johan Cruyff had remained at home after a kidnap attempt a few months before the tournament affected him so badly that he felt unable to play, Argentina had Kempes.
"He was an outstanding, outstanding player. Obviously Maradona arrived shortly after the World Cup, and it was all about Maradona. But Kempes is among the very best players to ever play for Argentina. He was brilliant in the 78, he was the top scorer and you cannot ask for more than that."
Ardiles is pragmatic about his own contribution.
"I didn't really think about it, I was just doing my job. I knew that I would have to deal with some heavy challenges, and I would draw attention from the opposition when I was on the ball because they had to close me down. But this was my job, and if I kept the ball they couldn't have it. And by running with the ball it would create space for Kempes and [Leopoldo] Luque."
It was Ardiles' snake like dribble in the centre of the pitch that started the move that saw Kempes put Argentina 1-0 up in the final. It would have been enough to lift the World Cup, but through Dirk Nanninga the Netherlands pulled a goal back in the 82nd minute. In his players Menotti had established an unshakable mindset and in extra time Argentina scored twice, once through Bertoni and Kempes grabbed his second.
So for a country gripped in bloody tussle, unbridled tears of freedom and jubilation were shed for a day at least. It must have been something to behold, especially for the players who were responsible for the World Cup glory.
"But it just isn't that way."

Check your home! This iPod is worth $20,000
By Kim Komando, Komando.com
Now this is worth turning your house inside-out for. Someone is auctioning off a never used, first-generation iPod Classic for almost $20,000 on eBay.
Is the nostalgia factor high enough to warrant spending $20,000 for an iPod Classic? Perhaps not for us mere mortals. But we're sure someone with the money and looking for bragging rights might just snap this Apple relic of the aughts.
It's hard to believe it has only been 18 years since Apple unveiled its first-generation iPod Classic. And how things have changed in less than two decades.
Remembering the first iPod
The eBay seller, bestgadget, describes his auction item in almost affectionate tones:
"Once the Apple iPod Classic 1st Generation was introduced, music storage and portability were changed forever. This classic device can store up to 5GB worth of MP3 files, meaning it has a maximum storage capacity of about 1,000 songs. The 2-inch monochrome LCD display screen is easy to read and shows both the song title and artist of the song currently playing.
'Users are able to quickly and easily navigate through their playlists, songs, and artists using the iPod's scroll wheel, center button, and auxiliary button. Add in an impressive 10-hour battery life and iTunes compatibility, and it is no wonder why iPod is the most popular music player on the market."
Once upon a time, 5GB and 1,000 songs were pretty cutting edge. All that for $399. It may seem funny now, but that little iPod became one of the building blocks of the Apple we know today.
Compare the original iPod's specs to those of its 2019 "successor." Not an iPod at all, AirPods are wireless earbuds that let you connect with all of your Apple devices. Not only can you listen to music, you can make and take calls, and you can connect to Siri.
With that connection to Siri, through your AirPods you can tell the virtual assistant to call a friend, pick a playlist, turn down the volume, take a call, and more. AirPods with a wireless charging case retail for $199.
No bidders yet
As for the never used first-generation iPod Classic on eBay, there are no bidders yet, but about 600 people are watching the listing. Before you get too impressed with the $20,000 price, Mashable reports that one special edition, never used fourth-generation iPod Classic sold for a stunning $90,000.
What made that iPod Classic so special? Well, it was a factory-sealed U.K. 2004 model of the special edition U2 iPod. The engraved autographs of U2's four members are on the iPod's back side.
Chances are most of us didn't rush out to buy the original iPod Classic just to let it sit in an unopened box for almost 20 years. But, if you do find one among your possessions that's in good shape and you still have the original packaging, you might make some nice pocket money.
A fifth-generation iPod Classic is going for about $110 on eBay. Even a refurbished iPod Classic is going for $85 on the site.
Wondering how much you can get for a Microsoft Zune on eBay? About $40.

Robocalls are not only annoying, but they scam Americans out of millions every year. Learn Kim's tricks for stopping them for good in this handy guide.

Crackdown on gamers' gambling
Video game makers under pressure over 'skins' betting
Daniel Dunkley
Sunday August 27 2017, 12.01am, The Sunday Times
Much of the skins betting market is linked to the game Counter Strike: Global Offensive
The betting industry's chief regulator has pledged a crackdown on illegal gambling sites linked to popular computer games after a surge in black-market activity.
Sarah Harrison, head of the Gambling Commission, has revealed that "skins" betting — using computer-game currencies and upgrades to gamble for real money — is a priority for the regulator.
An illegal betting market estimated to be worth $5.1bn (£4bn) a year globally has emerged from the in-game credits, which are popular with underage punters.
One in five of the illicit operations shut down by the watchdog since 2014 facilitated "skins" betting, said Harrison. "They are parasites off the back of well-established gaming platforms," added the commission's chief executive.

Immune Cells May Help Treat Muscular Dystrophy, UCSF-Led Team Finds
"They could reduce generalized inflammation caused by the disease, reduce inflammation caused by gene therapy, and lastly, produce factors that would promote healing and regeneration of muscle itself." –Dr. Jeffrey A. Bluestone.
A scientific team led by University of California (UC) San Francisco researchers found that regulatory T cells (Tregs), a specialized subset of immune cells, suppress inflammation and muscle injury in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
The scientists said that Tregs have potential as therapeutic agents for DMD, an inherited disease that strikes children – almost always boys – and leads to progressive muscle degeneration and early death.
The researchers discovered that Tregs, which dampen immune responses, are found in the muscles of mice and humans with genetic mutations that lead to the development of muscular dystrophy, but not in the muscles of healthy wild-type mice or healthy humans.
The finding indicates that the Tregs appear in muscle in response to the muscle injury, said lead investigator S. Armando Villalta, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at the UCSF Diabetes Center.
"When we remove Tregs from the muscles of the genetically engineered mice, the disease gets worse," said Villalta. "When we boost the cells in mice, we reduce inflammation and muscle injury."
According to Villalta, the healing effect is due in large part to interleukin-10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory protein produced by Tregs and other immune-regulating cells. "IL-10 is what we see in these mice, and it is seen in the muscles of people with DMD as well," said Villalta.
Jeffrey A. Bluestone, PhD (pictured), the A.W. and Mary Margaret Clausen Distinguished Professor in Endocrinology and Metabolism, the director of the Hormone Research Institute at UCSF, and UCSF executive vice chancellor and provost, led the research.
Bluestone predicted that in human therapy for DMD, the real value of Tregs will most likely not be as a stand-alone treatment, but in combination with gene therapy.
DMD is caused by an inherited defect in the gene that expresses dystrophin, a protein essential to muscle integrity. Clinical trials of gene therapies for DMD are underway. However, the therapy itself is known to cause inflammation, Bluestone said, a response to the virus that is used to introduce the healthy dystrophin gene into patients with the disease. Inflammation might also even arise in response to the production of new dystrophin protein made from the healthy gene, he said.
"This is where Tregs could potentially be of tremendous help," Bluestone said. He observed that the cells could potentially have three simultaneous therapeutic effects: "They could reduce generalized inflammation caused by the disease, reduce inflammation caused by gene therapy, and lastly, produce factors that would promote healing and regeneration of muscle itself."
Bluestone cautioned that such combination therapy is "clinically, always difficult to do, and difficult to get approved for human trials." In addition, he said, the mouse model of DMD used by the scientists is not as severe as the human disease.
For years researchers have been developing the therapeutic potential of Tregs to combat autoimmune responses, and Tregs already are in clinical trials at UCSF to treat type 1 diabetes and organ-graft rejection. However, there have been no human trials so far of Tregs in non-autoimmune diseases such as DMD, Bluestone said.

CSU athlete grad rate 3rd in MW
Rams graduate more student-athletes than most peers and rival CU.
CSU athlete grad rate 3rd in MW Rams graduate more student-athletes than most peers and rival CU. Check out this story on coloradoan.com: http://noconow.co/1hsvwTh
Matt L. Stephens, matthewstephens@coloradoan.com Published 8:47 p.m. MT June 7, 2014 | Updated 7:40 a.m. MT June 8, 2014
Note: Latest GSR data is for the 2006 cohort, which includes students who graduated no later than spring 2013.(Photo: Alyia Mood/Gannet Design Studio)
Cohort year: Incoming freshmen that fall who graduate within six years.
Federal rate: Percent of students who graduate from the school they started at within six years.
Graduation success rate (GSR): Used to better measure how many student-athletes graduate.
GSR accounts for outgoing transfers. Federal considers outgoing transfers as non-graduates.
It doesn't matter how the data is presented, the academic success of student-athletes at CSU ranks third in the Mountain West — and ahead of the University of Colorado — following a course that's only improving.
Terminology used regarding student-athlete graduation rates often muddies the topic. It's not simply a matter of what percentage of athletes receive their diplomas, but a discussion dictated by which scale is being used, when the student first entered college and whether transfer students were in good academic standing.
Since the NCAA introduced the graduation success rate, or GSR, in 1995 to better gauge how athletes perform in the classroom — opposed to the federal rate, which calculates outgoing transfers as students who fail to graduate — the percentage of Colorado State University athletes to earn their diplomas has held relatively steady at better than 80 percent since the 2001 cohort.
In the most recent cohort data available, counting freshmen who graduated within six years of starting at CSU in 2006, CSU had GSR of 83 percent, trailing only Utah State (84) and Air Force (90) among conference institutions. CSU has been ranked third in the conference for three consecutive years.
While data for the 2007 cohort, which takes into account the most recent graduating class, won't be released until October, CSU has a chance to move into second with its federal graduation rate for athletics expected to hit 70 percent, a 10-year high.
The GSR is virtually always significantly higher than the federal rate. Both are calculated by the NCAA as a four-year average, but the GSR isn't used for the general student population.
CSU student-athletes generally graduate at a better federal rate than the rest of the student body (four percentage points higher in 2006), and Steve McDonnell, assistant athletic director for academic services, said he expects that trend to continue, especially with the lofty goals university president Tony Frank has set.
"Tony Frank's goal is to have CSU have a graduation rate of 80 percent, by 2020. That's pretty ambitious since right now they're looking at 63 percent," McDonnell said.
In order for the university to reach a federal graduation rate of 80 percent within six years, McDonnell added, CSU needs to retain 90 percent of students between their freshman and sophomore years.
It's a goal that's particularly difficult in athletics. Coaching changes always lead to roster turnover, which has a considerable impact to the federal rate of a sport like men's basketball, which has 13 scholarship athletes versus 85 with football.
One player leaving the men's basketball program has the same effect on its federal graduation rate as seven football players leaving.
According to the NCAA, between the 2003-06 cohorts, CSU had a men's basketball federal graduation rate of 8 percent — by far the lowest in the athletic department. Christine Susemihl, senior associate athletic director for internal operations who's been with the program for 41 years, said this was partially a result of changing coaches from Dale Layer to Tim Miles.
When Miles took over in 2007, two of 10 underclassmen from the previous season returned to the team and only one — Stuart Creason — graduated from CSU. The other, Ronnie Aguilar, later transferred to Cal State-Dominguez Hills.
Women's basketball's four-year federal graduation rate during the same time was 25 percent, damaged by all four freshman student-athletes who set off a small chemical bomb outside a teammate's apartment in January 2007 leaving the school.
Occurrences like these are exactly why universities and the NCAA focus on the GSR as a more accurate representation of athletes' success in academia. For those student-athletes who remain with a program for a full four to five years, but bring the GSR down by not graduating, CSU provides an opportunity to still earn a diploma.
In addition to the NCAA's degree completion program for athletes who are within 30 credit hours of graduation, McDonnell said CSU is targeting former football players to come back and earn their diploma, like former NFL All-Pro linebacker Joey Porter did this year.
While bringing athletes back to graduate at a later date is a nice luxury to have, it's not the university's goal.
CSU aims for student-athletes to receive their degrees during their traditional tenure at the university and is doing an admirable job, even in the higher-profile sports that often see a lower graduation rate.
Twelve of 14 (86 percent) scholarship seniors on the football team last season have graduated (or will in the summer), along with all three on women's basketball and both on the men's team.
"It starts in the recruiting process. You have to identify those who you think have a chance to be successful at Colorado State," CSU football coach Jim McElwain said. "The thing I stress is the thing that's going to differentiate you for the rest of your life is getting that meaningful college degree.
"When I took this job, and having been in the NFL, one thing I noted is that everyone's playing days come to an end — no one plays forever. Come cut days, there's really two types of guys. The ones who have their degrees, they're at peace; the ones who don't are in a panic."
Only student-athletes who are on scholarship their first semester at a university are calculated as part of the GSR. Walk-ons, even if they earn a scholarship down the road, are not.

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. It is a serious disease that affects all types of races, all age groups, all economic levels, both genders, urban and rural populations alike with no discrimination!
The term glaucoma consists of a group of diseases that cause damage to the nerve responsible for our sight (optic nerve). Any damage to the nerve will result in visual deterioration or even blindness!
Is it a serious disease?
Yes it is! If we consider blindness as a serious disability!
There are different types of glaucoma. But they can be grouped in to two main classes. The most common is called open angle glaucoma which is responsible for the majority (90%) of the cases. The second one is known as angle closure glaucoma (much less common) which is caused by blockage of the filtration angle through which aqueous humor drains out of the eye.
The problem of open angle glaucoma is that it does not cause any symptoms like pain or visual disturbance in the early stages until very late in the course of the disease.Because of this insidious progression of the disease, it is called the silent thief of sight. It is common for eye doctors to face patients with advanced stages of the disease. Some may even be totally blind with no hope of visual recovery.
So what can we do to safeguard our sight?
We need to have a regular eye and general medical check-up at least once a year. Regular eye examinations are the key factor that helps us avoid untimely blindness. A general medical examination will help us catch even a deadly disease like cancer at an early stage and the chance of total cure will be very high.
checkup is of grave concern even in the western world as well. It is said that, in developed countries, 50% of patients with glaucoma haven't been diagnosed and are not on treatment.
What are the risk factors for developing glaucoma?
Glaucoma is mainly associated with an increased intra ocular pressure. The normal eye pressure is less than 21 mm Hg. If it is more than that, the patient has to be monitored to rule out glaucoma. Intra ocular pressure is maintained at a normal level when the fluid produced in the anterior part of the interior of the eye (called aqueous humor) is secreted and then removed from the eye in a balanced way. If the secretion of aqueous humor continues in the absence of a proportional exit from the eye,it will lead to a build-upof pressure. This high intra ocular pressure damages retinal nerve fibers and the optic nerve leading to nerve fiber loss and optic atrophy.
People in their old age are at higher risk of developing glaucoma. Any person over the age 40 years has to get determination of the intra ocular pressure at least once in year.
The other important risk factor for optic nerve damage is the presence of hypertension (high blood pressure). All patients with hypertension mustundergo strict follow up and take their treatment regularly as directed by their doctors. Not only that, they have to have annual eye examination to rule out the presence of retinal problems and glaucoma.
Glaucoma is known to run among family members(heredity). If there is glaucoma in your family, you will have a much higher risk of developing it. It is, therefore, advisable for family members to have regular eye check-ups at least twice a year.
The other risk factor for glaucoma is the presence of diabetes mellitus(poorly controlled blood sugar level). Such patients need thorough eye examinations on a regular basis. The attending eye doctor will determine if there are any problems in the retina associated with diabetes and also the presence of glaucoma.
People usingsteroid medications frequently or for a prolonged period may develop glaucoma. Topical steroids (eye drops) are prescribed for conditions like allergic eye problems. Other steroid ointments applied to the eye lid skin or anywhere on the body may be absorbed and cause elevated intra ocular pressure. Similarly, steroids taken orally or as inhalants or by injections are known to elevate intra ocular pressure. This type of drug-related glaucoma is known as steroid-induced glaucoma.The risk of glaucoma development increases with the dose of the medication and the duration of use. These drugs in their various forms are commonly misused as they are obtained from pharmacies and drug stores very easily.
How do we know that we have glaucoma?
We have seen that the majority of glaucoma casesare asymptomatic (no presenting feature) until late in the course of the disease. Only people with regular eye follow-up will know about their problem early and can prevent visual loss.
In the case of angle closure glaucoma, the filtration angle is narrow and makes drainage very slow leading toan increase in intra ocular pressure. When these people sit in the dark (cinema or theater halls), their eyes dilate to enable them see better. The dilatation causes further narrowing or blockage of the passage of aqueous humor leadingto a sudden increase in intra ocular pressure. This causes acute eye pain, blurring of vision,appearance of colored haloes around lights, tearing and headache. There may even be nausea and vomiting. This type of glaucoma is "good" in the sense that it causes acute pain and patients will seek medical help as soon as possible. Treatment will be instituted and the glaucoma will be controlled with medications, laser or surgery and visual loss will be prevented!
Glaucoma does occur in babies and small children as a result of developmental abnormality in the anterior aspect of the eye(congenital glaucoma). These children will develop hazy corneas (central part of the eye), with tearing and fear of light. The child is uncomfortable in the presence of bright light. The glaucoma will progress causing enlargement of the corneas. Parents must take such children to an eye doctor for immediate evaluation and treatment. Otherwise permanent visual loss will follow.
Intra ocular pressure measurement with instruments called tonometers.
Examination of the front of the eye especially the drainage angle (gonioscopy). This will helpdetermine the state of the drainage angle whether it is narrow or open.
Examination of the interior of the eye after dilation of the pupillary aperture.
Visual field assessment. There are other more sophisticated diagnostic modalities.
This is mainly done in the form of different types of eye drops and tablets.
There are different types of eye drops for the treatment of glaucoma. Your eye doctor will determine the type and dosage of the drug. Some drugs may cause some eye discomfort. When this occurs, tell your doctor about your problem and the eye drop will be replaced by another one. It has to be noted that glaucoma treatment should continue for life. Many patients forget or stop using their medications after a few months. Some may have economic problems. In such cases, surgical management is a better alternative.
In general, it is advised to work closely together with your eye doctor to prevent blindness from glaucoma. Healthy life style with regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, avoiding smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight are also important factors that help reduce the risk of glaucoma.

An ancient burial lies in ruins outside of Seyda Neen – the few who know of the secrets it holds guard them closely, and the tomb lays all but forgotten.
Minor positional fixes for the lights.
Fixed a minor incompatibility with On The Rocks!
Part of the May Modathon Month 2018!
Recently, there has been some strange activity in Seyda Neen – someone claiming to be a Temple acolyte has been asking around about an old tomb along the north coast of Seyda Neen, and strange, dancing lights have caused the disappearance of more than a few adventurers along the path to Balmora. An ancient being awakens from their slumber by mysterious forces who seek to recover a lost artifact. Travel to Samarys Ancestral Tomb and return the ancient being to their slumber once and for all.
This mod modifies Samarys Ancestral Tomb's interior, turning it from a simple three-room dungeon into a much larger dungeon with an unmarked quest. The urn containing the Mentor's Ring now requires the unmarked quest to be completed (but you can still solve it if you go murderhobo or accidentally attack the quest-giver). There's a few pieces of new loot, and a significant change in the atmosphere and layout of the tomb itself!
Only requires Morrowind. As it's just an .esp, unzip the file to your Data Files directory, or use a mod manager.
May not be compatible with any other mods that edit Samarys -- although it has been confirmed to work with MCA.
Use however you wish. I may work on some of the other tombs and add them to my project (An Addendum to Tamrielic Lore). It's just an .esp file, so merging with another file shouldn't be too difficult.

SCW UNLIMITED 101
Zillion Dollar Theater
"Starting 2020 with a BANG!"
The Zillion Dollar Theater in Los Angeles, California is a packed house with nearly 2000 in attendance for the debut episode of SCW Unlimited. The fans in attendance do not know what to expect, as this theater is not your typical bingo hall or expo center. Built in 1917, what is now known as the Zillion Dollar Theater had been home to some of the greatest performers in history until 2004. It sat empty for a number of years before wealthy oil tycoon turned entertainment mogul Tex Zillionaire purchased the building in 2018. Over the next year, the building was renovated and converted into a professional wrestling venue, to be used exclusively by Showtime Championship Wrestling, an organization he is the primary financier of.
The premier episode of SCW Unlimited kicks off as the curtain raises up as "SHOWTIME!" by Z Mann Zilla fills the air in this historic venue. Standing in the middle of the ring is SCW's in-ring announcer Julia Richards. When the music dies down, she welcomes everyone to SCW Unlimited before introducing Rich Zillionaire, Tex's grandson and also the General Manager of SCW. He tells the fans they are part of history tonight for this groundbreaking event, being aired exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. He announces there will be five events on tonight's show, starting with the Inaugural New Year's Wrestlution Battle Royal. The winner of that match will receive a first round bye in the SCW World Championship Tournament that begins TONIGHT on Unlimited! He then takes the opportunity to unveil the brand new championship for the first time.
Inaugural New Year's Wrestlution Battle Royal
Backstory: It would be exhausting to give you the backstory of each of these performers right now. Their stories will be told in the weeks to come as time allows. All you need to know for now is that these fifteen stars are officially signed to SCW... and the winner of this match gets a first round bye in the SCW World Championship Tournament!
Match: Once all fifteen stars have entered the ring and the bell sounds, Johnny B. Cool takes to the middle of the ring to try to be friends with everyone. He tells them that they are ALL winners tonight, and everyone should just... be cool. His pep talk is interrupted by a running boot from Akoni Van Dam, who then pulls him up in his arms like a baby and tosses him over the top rope, causing the first elimination. When Akoni turns around, Marty Kidd comes off the top rope with a cross body... only for Akoni to catch him and toss him over the top rope as well. A massive brawl ensures amongst the remaining thirteen stars.
The League of Extraordinary Wrestling Dudes [Gotch and Legend] go after #TWINNING [Carlee and Rilee], using their size advantage against the fraternal twin sisters. A jawbreaker to Gotch sets him aside, and the sisters double dropkick Legend's knees. With Gotch on the ropes, they team up to clothesline him to the outside. Their celebration is short lived as Legend seeks revenge by pummeling Carlee and eliminating her from the match. Before he can go after Rilee, Jack and Jill and Sparkles come to her rescue.
Elsewhere, Parka and Sombra are fighting with OutbreaK and AVD. OutbreaK gets rocked with duel superkicks. Sombra lines up for another, and OutbreaK moves aside… causing Parka to eat the boot. AVD follows up by eliminating Parka. As Sombra goes to the ropes to apologize to Parka, AVD dumps him over the top rope as well. Back to the other group now… and Rilee has been eliminated by Legend. Wild Thing is relentlessly lighting up OutbreaK, who then grabs Wild Thing by the throat and tosses him over the top rope like he's nothing.
When OutbreaK turns around, he sees old rival AVD. The two engage in fisticuffs. They are evenly matched until OutbreaK rocks AVD with a thunderous headbutt that backs him to the ropes. OutbreaK comes charging in and clotheslines AVD over the top rope. Legend pats OutbreaK on the shoulder and signals for a high five. OutbreaK doesn't have time to blink before headbutting Legend and sending out of the match. OutbreaK lets out a roar before he is blindsided by a top rope missile dropkick from Jack Malone, followed by a diving knee strike from Jill Malone. The two unleash a flurry of combination strikes, sending the big man to the ropes. Jack and Jill work together to lift his legs off the mat. Jill then lets go and gets a running start before leaping and connecting with a dropkick to his cinder block of a head, eliminating the goliath from the match.
Elsewhere, Alexa Skye has hit Sparkles with a seX-Factor in the middle of the ring. After OutbreaK is eliminated, she sneaks up and low blows Jack, then grabs him by the neck and trunks, sending him over the top rope. She turns around and meets face to face with Jill. After a brief shouting match, Jill and Alexa engage in their own bout of fisticuffs. They struggle back and forth on the ropes, until Alexa gets the upper hand by gouging Jill's eyes. She turns Jill around and chokes her with the top rope, then hoists her up and sends her over the top rope… just as Sparkles sneaks up from behind and sends Alexa over the top.
Both Alexa and Jill surprisingly land on the apron. They start to get up, and are both met with a dropkick from Sparkles… sending them out of the ring for good, making Sparkles the winner of the Inaugural New Year's Wrestlution Battle Royal. This huge win gives her a bye in the SCW World Championship Tournament.
Order of elimination:
1. Johnny B. Cool by Akoni Van Dam
2. Marty Kidd by Akoni Van Dam
3. Teddy Gotch by Carlee & Rilee
4. Carlee by Danny Legend
5. Lincoln Parka by Akoni Van Dam
6. Hijo de Sombra by Akoni Van Dam
7. Rilee by Danny Legend
8. Wild Thing by OutbreaK
9. Akoni Van Dam by OutbreaK
10. Danny Legend by OutbreaK
11. OutbreaK by Jack & Jill Malone
12. Jack Malone by Alexa Skye
13. Jill Malone by Sparkles
14. Alexa Skye by Sparkles
Winner = Sparkles
"Main Event Bros!"
The large screen behind the SCW ring shows the fans a glimpse of the backstage area, where Chris and Ricky Schorg are standing by with backstage correspondent Jane Kincaid. They had asked for some air time to introduce themselves to the world, and proclaimed that they were "Main Event Bros doing main event things." Jane received word during the battle royal that tonight's main event would be an eight person tag team match, and that there partners were...
Gust and Pettis - two legendary performers - join the twin brothers on set. Sara goes on about how incredible it is to be able to team up with her little brothers on the very first episode of SCW Unlimited. Nathan remains speechless, as he stares over the shoulders of the brothers... at a grizzly looking man eavesdropping on their conversation...
He walks onto the set as the brothers move over by Nathan and Sara, and he tells them that their match tonight will be their first and last appearance at SCW because he and his Deathmachines will break every bone in their bodies. Before he can even finish his threats, Nathan bursts forward and attacks Apokalypse. The two brawl around while security rushes over to separate the two, as we head back to the ringside area for the first round of the SCW World Championship Tournament.
SCW World Championship Tournament // Round One
Jason Christopher vs. Brice McQueen
Backstory: Jason Christopher started training in 2001 at the age of 16, under the guidance of Aj Nin Red Rum. He spent three years wrestling on the East Coast before getting the opportunity to travel to Japan in fall 2004. That was the first of several excursions there before he officially moved to Tokyo in 2007. Since then, he has been a mainstay at Rising Sun Pro Wrestling and WRESTLEGATE. When SCW was being formed, he was one of the first wrestlers contacted. His deal with SCW allows him to split his time between Los Angeles and Tokyo when needed for a tour there.
Brice McQueen, on the other hand, is a bit of a wrestling phenomenon in his own right. He signed his SCW contract two days before Christmas, on his 70th birthday. He made his wrestling debut in 1973 in his hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He spent the next forty something years traveling the globe before settling down in Santa Monica by his son and grandchildren. His primary job with SCW is as a coach, but he is always willing to lace up his boots to stretch some young punk into submission.
Match: This quickly became more of a showcase of Jason Christopher, and less of a competitive match for Brice McQueen. JC out wrestles the much older McQueen for half of the match before McQueen distracts the referee and clocks JC with brass knuckles. JC falls through the ropes, so McQueen is unable to capitalize. As JC beats the ten count, McQueen again tries to use the brass knuckles, but the referee catches him in the act and confiscated the weapon. He argues with the ref long enough for JC to recover and annihilate McQueen with a series of suplexes, ending with a stalling bridging German Suplex for the three count, thus sending him to the next round of the SCW World Championship Tournament.
Winner = Jason Christopher
Standard Tag Team Match
Team MACKAID vs. Dos Villanos
Backstory: Team MACKAID was at one time one of the hottest tag teams in the world. That time was between 2004 and 2010. While it's been a decade since they were at the top of their game, they are still able to get the band back together at a moment's notice. Such is the case with SCW. Along with his wife Jane, Nick was crucial in putting together nearly all of the SCW contracts, so of course he did everything in his power to get Team MACKAID the first spot on the tag team roster. Their opponents tonight... Dos Villanos... Doom and Legion. Little is known about these two individuals, other than they are troublemakers.
Match: This match starts out hot and heavy with Mack Davidson willingly taking on both Legion and Doom by himself, after asking to stand back and watch. Mack stops abruptly and puts his nose in the air, catching the aroma of the concessions. He quickly tags in Nick, and leaves the ring in search of food. Nick comes in and gets jumped by Legion and Doom. They spend three minutes performing a decent series of tag team maneuvers before they ascend the turnbuckles on opposite corners of the ring.
They both signal for the end and fly off with tandem diving headbutts on their minds. Nick kips up just in time to evade the attack and both opponents crash hard on the mat. Nick watches as Legion and Doom get up, one by one running at him. He side steps and Legion goes crashing into the corner, then catches Doom with a belly to belly suplex… sending him crashing into Legion. Nick looks over and sees Mack back on the apron, with a plate of nachos. Nick laughs and tags in Mack, who hands over his nachos for safe keeping.
With both Legion and Doom up in the corner, Mark charges in and flattens them both with a splash. Doom stumbles out and falls in the middle of the ring, rolling onto his back. Mack pulls Legion out, effortlessly picks him up in a gorilla press… and drops him on top of Doom. Both villains lie on the mat in agony as Mack hits the ropes and splashes them in the middle of the ring... for the first three count of SCW's tag team division. The bell sounds and Nick comes in, handing the nachos over to Mack as the two celebrate their victory.
Winners = Team MACKAID
Jamie Reyes vs. Norm Lukas
Backstory: The journey that both Reyes and Lukas took to get to SCW was similar. Reyes was born in San Diego in 1982 to Mexican immigrants. Lukas was born in Eureka City in 1982 to Canadian immigrants. Together, they were trained by Nathan Gust in 2002. They were roommates for several years, while both traveling the country perfecting their craft. Fast forward to the creation of SCW when - of course - they were contacted to be part of Unlimited 101. The first question they asked... was if each other were going to be part of this extravaganza. It was only right that their first match here in SCW was against one another.
Match: Despite their differences in size, this match starts out fast paced with a series of reversals and counters until both men are in fighting stances across from one another. They both smile and slap hands, then lock up and continue to show the people of Los Angeles what happens when two top guys do top guy things. The action spills to the outside toward the crowd, where Jaime falls off the stage. Norm takes this opportunity to risk it all by sliding into the ring, hitting the opposite ropes... and using all of his momentum to suicide dive between the ropes and over the stage... colliding with Jaime. The fans go wild for that death defying maneuver.
Referee John Doe follows the two out and reminds them they should get back into the ring, but does not start the obligatory ten count. Instead he lets the match continue as is, as both men pull themselves up and continue their match on the floor closer to the fans. Norm ducks a clothesline and connects with a pele kick, which rocks Jaime enough to have him stumble back to the stage. Norm runs at him, and he pops him up onto the stage. Jaime blocks a kick from Norm by grabbing his foot, then swings his leg so Norm lands face first on the stage. Jaime takes a few steps back and then connects with a running boot.
Jaime climbs up onto the stage and pulls Norm up, then rolls him back into the ring. Jaime takes his time getting back into the ring, as he gets distracted for a few moments by the fan cheering for him. When he enters, Norm is back to his feet and hits a spinning kick to Jaime's gut. Norm hits the ropes and connects with a diving knee strike. Jaime falls to the mat. He rolls over and sits up, groggy... and Norm connects with a superkick. Norm then points to the top rope and he ascends the ropes in the corner. He stands up and dives off with a double stomp in mind... but Jaime rolls out of the way.
Norm rolls through and gets up, turning round toward Jaime. He charges at Jaime, who catches him with a backflipping belly to belly slam. Jaime covers him and gets the inevitable three count. The fans go wild as Jaime is declared the winner, thus advancing into the next round of the SCW World Championship Tournament. Norm slowly gets to his feet and he gives Jaime a nod before leaving the ring.
Winner = Jaime X Reyes
Main Event // Eight Person Tag Team Match
The Faction vs. Deathmachines
Backstory: Too much history between these men and women, except for The Raging Dead. This is certainly NOT the same Raging Dead we have seen compete for Trinity, Action, Alpha Pro or FWF in recent months.
Match: The first main event in Showtime Championship Wrestling history starts off with pure chaos. The Faction makes their way to the ring first to thundrous applause, and then the lights go out. Lots of crashing and banging is heard. When the lights come back on, the Deathmachines are already out and are tearing apart The Faction. They brutalize The Faction all over the ring, and the chaos soon spills to the outside. Referee Andy Koy calls for backup, and his little brother Dave comes out. Sara and Nathan fight with Genocide and Deathstar, while Chris and Ricky fight with Apok and Dead. The former group fights around ringside while the latter group fights away from the stage.
It doesn't take long before Deathstar back body drops Nathan off of the stage, and they focus their attention on Sara. Despite her best efforts to fight them both off, their combined power is too much for her to withstand. Elsewhere, Apok attempts to powerbomb Chris into the crowd but Ricky pulls his brother back down. Ricky hits Apok with a ripcord knee strike, which takes the big man down long enough for the brothers to do a cool tag team move. Chris and Ricky hit Raging Dead with a double hip toss followed by a double back handspring into a double dropkick to her face. The twins head back onto the stage.
Genocide and Deathstar stalk Ricky and Chris back into the ring. Genocide takes Chris out with a Canadian Destroyer. Deathstar takes out Ricky with a buckle bomb. The two bad dudes think they're on top of the world… until Genocide turns into a flying knee strike from Sara… and Deathstar eats a one knee codebreaker from Nathan. He goes to pin Deathstar, but he rolls out of the ring… and Nathan follows. Sara gets the crowd going as she waits for Genocide to stand up. He turns around, takes a kick to the gut… and then an Ice Pick Piledriver from Sara. Before she can go for a pin, she takes a clubbing strike to the back of the neck from Apokalypse.
Apok looks around at the devastation, and drags Sara up. "Good-bye, little sister." He sets her up and delivers a running sitout powerbomb. He keeps her hooked for a pin… and it is broken up by Gust, who avenges his wife with vicious strikes to Apok. He pulls Apok up and plants him with a double underhook impaler dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. Before he can go for a pin, Raging Dead shoots in and delivers an evenflow piledriver outta nowhere. She goes for a pin and nearly has him beaten before he kicks out.
She goes ballistic and turns around into a double superkick from Chris and Ricky. Ricky scoops Raging Dead upside down as Chris goes outside the ropes. He hits a springboard somersault, and they destroy her with a spike kneeling reverse piledriver… that they call the Ozone Death Drop. They cover her in the middle of the ring for the one… two… three! The Faction is declared winners… and Apok drag
Winners = The Faction
"All In The Family!"
With the Faction together in the ring, Nathan calls for a microphone. Julia Richards hands him one as their music dies down.
"Wow. What a night, huh? Tonight was just a taste… just a sample of what's to come. See, my family… we've tossed around the dinner table a full fledged federation unlike anything the world has ever seen. It took years of talking about it before we were able to pull the trigger… thanks to the financial support of Tex Zillionaire. Without him, this event would have taken place in front of a tenth of this crowd back home in Ozone Park, New York… and it would be straight-to-DVD instead of airing on Amazon Prime Video."
"Over the coming months… you will bare witness to the very best World Championship Tournament in history… period. Sparkles, Jaime Reyes and Jason Christopher have already advanced to the next round. The entire match listing for Unlimited 102 will go live later tonight. Am I wrestling next week? I don't remember. My head is a little… not here… right now. Anyway, thank all for coming out tonight… and thanks to everyone for watching at home. Stay tuned to Showtime-Wrestling.com for more updates… and follow us on the Twitter… or at the Twitter? I don't know how to say it. @showtimechamp20 is the place. Give us a like or follow. I think I'll leave the speeches to Sara from now on. Good night, Los Angeles."
The show ends as The Faction raise their arms together in the middle of the ring.

This essay discusses the positive and negative impact of caffeine on our body. Do share your views in the comments section at the end. You can also contribute by submitting your essay in our database.
There is always a debate in the health community about the positive and negative impact of caffeine. Caffeine is mostly found in coffee and helps you in staying active for long hours. If you are wondering what are the positive and negative effects of caffeine you can have a look below.
Loss of brain cells lead to production of a chemical known as dopamine which leads to Parkinson disease. If you are a regular consumer of coffee of caffeine you are very less prone to Parkinson's disease. The people who drink coffee regularly are 80% less prone to Parkinson's disease. As per recent research it was also seen that caffeine also leads to protection of the human brain cells.
If you are having two to three cups of coffee each day you are 20% less prone to gallstones as compared to the people who don't drink coffee. Research studies have shown that if you are having 2 cups of coffee each day you are 25% risk free from colon cancer and also 80% safe from the cirrhosis risk. There are also many metabolic effects of caffeine which also reduce the risk of gallstones.
Caffeine helps in improving the mental performance of an individual. Caffeine helps in stimulating the central system and also leads to increase of the sugar demand of brain which leads to temporary lift. Caffeine helps an individual in maintaining attention and won't help in improving memory or reasoning abilities.
While you are having a headache the blood vessels in your brain dilate and might even become wider. If you are having caffeine it will constrict the blood vessels and will relieve you from headache. Caffeine is 40% effective in relieving from headaches and is one of the fastest ways to get rid of one.
If you consume a lot of caffeine daily it might lead to osteoporosis. Having caffeine in large amounts will decrease the bone mineral density at your spine and your hip. This could also lead to fractures during your old age.
Caffeine is not only present in coffee but is also found in soft drinks and tea. If you are a type 2 diabetes patient and are consuming tea, soft drinks it might become difficult to control your diabetes. As per research if you are consuming caffeine daily in the breakfast, your sugar levels are most likely to get increased by 8 per cent.
Consuming a lot of caffeine during day might lead to loss of sleep at night. Caffeine blocks effects of a neurotransmitter called adenosine which promotes sleep. Consuming caffeine will also increase the number of times you wake up during night for urinating and will also interfere with deep sleep. This might also lead to poor sleep cycles and fatigue during day.
These are the positive and negative impacts of caffeine.
I can't get out of the bed without a cup of coffee so don't say anything bad about it. Of course, excess of anything is bad. but for me, caffeine is a savior.

Silver è creatore e principale autore di contenuti del blog FiveThirtyEight, dedicato all'analisi, dal punto di vista statistico, di eventi di cronaca, di sport e di politica. Durante le elezioni presidenziali statunitensi del 2008, le sue previsioni elettorali si rivelarono corrette in 49 dei 50 stati della nazione. Quattro anni più tardi, nella competizione presidenziale del 2012, le sue anticipazioni si rivelarono corrette in ogni stato dell'Unione, oltre che nel Distretto di Columbia.

Biografia

Infanzia e giovinezza
Nathaniel Read Silver nacque ad East Lansing, nel Michigan, il 13 gennaio 1978. È figlio di Sally Thrun, un'attivista della loro comunità, e di Brian David Silver, che fu preside della facoltà di Scienze politiche della State University of Michigan. Il ramo famigliare materno di Silver ha origini inglesi e tedesche e include illustri personalità, sia uomini che donne, tra cui il bisnonno materno, Harmon Lewis, che fu presidente dell'Alcoa Steamship Company, Inc. Silver, per le sue discendenze, descrive sé stesso come "mezzo ebreo". Fin da piccolo ebbe la passione del baseball, alla quale poté applicare la bravura coi numeri che già allora lo contraddistingueva: riteneva infatti che fosse più appassionante combinare la matematica al suo sport preferito piuttosto che agli studi scolastici. Una volta cresciuto, lavorò per qualche anno come consulente economico. Poi, dopo essersi licenziato, si mantenne per un periodo come abile giocatore di poker online.

Il baseball e PECOTA
Fu il baseball il primo ambiente di lavoro statistico di Silver. Tra il 2002 e il 2003 realizzò un sistema per prevedere le performance dei giocatori della Major League americana. Il sistema fu battezzato PECOTA (Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm, algoritmo empirico per il test di confronto e ottimizzazione del giocatore), acronimo che richiama il nome del giocatore Bill Pecota. L'algoritmo ebbe molto successo nell'ambiente, e fu diffuso attraverso il libro Baseball Prospectus, mentre il sito baseballprospectus.com, tuttora attivo, è il punto di riferimento di molti analisti statistici dello sport.

FiveThirtyEight

Silver è noto per un altro portale web, FiveThirtyEight, sito dedicato alla matematica elettorale, che prende il nome dal numero dei componenti del collegio elettorale degli Stati Uniti, l'organo che formalmente elegge il presidente americano. Il sito gode di eccellente fama nel campo della previsione dei risultati delle elezioni presidenziali: nel 2008 pronosticò correttamente il vincitore in 49 dei 50 stati; nel 2012 la precisione fu ancora affinata: le anticipazioni di Silver si rivelarono corrette in ogni stato e nel Distretto di Columbia.

I redattori del sito, ad ogni modo, non sono immuni da errori; nell'agosto del 2015, ad esempio, il blog affermò che le possibilità di Donald Trump di vincere le primarie presidenziali del Partito Repubblicano ammontassero al 2%. Undici mesi più tardi, la convention repubblicana di Cleveland incoronò Trump candidato del partito alla presidenza. Va detto che al momento del pronostico di Silver i candidati in corsa fossero più di una quindicina.

Pubblicazioni
Uno dei saggi di cui Silver è autore, intitolato The Signal and the Noise, è stato tradotto in italiano come Il Segnale e il Rumore. Tema del libro è la scienza statistica, e la sua applicazione alle varie aree dello scibile.
