Lost and damaged

New Zealand Youth Delegate Simon Tapp with our golden prize: a Colossal Fossil, shared with Canada.
At the end of every UNFCCC meeting, on the last day, there's a grand prize: the Colossal Fossil. So proud: New Zealand took top prize for the first time, shared with Canada.
For a country whose emissions are similar in scale to the Canadian tar sands, New Zealand has demonstrated exceptional blindness to scientific and political realities. Surprising many and disappointing all, New Zealand has fought hard to unseat 5-time Colossal Fossil winner, Canada, in a campaign of extreme selfishness and irresponsibility.
While New Zealand may have helped drown the talks for another year, New Zealand's small and vulnerable Pacific neighbours should take heart that they have not been forgotten – New Zealand intends to drown them too.
I don't think I can add much to this, except to say that for a small country, we sure manage to punch above our weight at these talks, upsetting more governments and people than is warranted for our small size. Sam from the Youth Delegation has summed it up nicely over on the youth blog. It's all about trust.
I was going to write a light-hearted blog today, poking fun at Lord Christopher Monckton's appearance in Doha, in his Arabic dress and antics in the plenary. But I thought about it overnight and woke this morning more angry about it than amused.Monckton turned up on Wednesday dressed in full Arab regalia – the long, white kheffiyeh that the majority of Qatari men wear every day. He held a press conference the next day with the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow and a Texan tea party group, with Republican Senator James Inhofe joining by video.
But this week saw a massive typhoon in the Philippines that has so far killed more than 500 people – and counting. The southernmost super-typhoon ever seen in the country. It nearly wiped out Palau altogether.
The Philippine delegate, in tears, appealed to the meeting to take action, to get agreement: "If not us, then who; if not now, then when; if not here then where?"
Later, Monckton later took the floor in the plenary, posing as a delegate for Burma, who don't have a delegation here, and told the meeting that there had been no warming in 16 years. The whole plenary booed him. He had his badge taken off him, and was ejected (he was leaving anyway). The Guardian Liveblog covered it here, if you feel you must watch (another rant from me there too).
I got an email from the UN telling me: "Lord Monckton has been permanently barred from the UNFCCC process."
So that's it. Never again will I see the Viscount of Brenchley, Lord Christopher Monckton at a climate talks. Good riddance. He's already trying to spin that he was thrown out because he was talking about no warming for 16 years, when in fact he was rightfully thrown out for speaking on the floor as Burma when he wasn't entitled to do that.
Right now, it's after 2 am and I've left the negotiations to get some sleep. There's big deadlocks around a lot of the detail, with much focus on an incredibly weak Kyoto Protocol text. Who's in, who's out? Our government has been right in there, weakening rules around trading to the point that they're actually weaker than they were in the early 1990's.
Then there's the issue of "loss and damage," new to the discussions from last year. The key sticking point is over whether there is an international mechanism set up to help distribute money for the poorest countries to pay for the loss and damage from climate impacts. It's about the industrialized world paying for the damage it's now wreaking on the poorest.
As Seychelles Ambassador Ronny Jumeau told a press conference earlier this week:
"If we had had more [emissions cuts], we would not have to ask for so much for adapatation. If there had been more money for adaptation, we would not be looking for money for loss and damge. What's next? The loss of our islands?"
This isn't going to finish any time soon. What we'll get tomorrow is up in the air, but what we do know is that air will continue to be filled with increasing amounts of C02 – and nothing that's happening here is going to slow it any time soon.
I'll know more in the morning, but bets are on that it's going to last through to late Saturday.

Cryptos Rally As Coinbase CEO Says Trump's Bitcoin Tweet Is "Achievement Unlocked"
Despite President Trump's criticism of cryptos, Bitcoin and its allies are bid this morning...
Trump voiced his opposition to cryptocurrencies as a whole, citing Bitcoin and Libra specifically, in a series of tweets published around 8:15 p.m. EST on July 11.
The full text of the three tweets reads:
"I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity....
"...Similarly, Facebook Libra's 'virtual currency' will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks, both National…
"...and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!"

Of course this sparked chaos on social media - likely exactly what Trump wanted - as Crypto friends and foes went to battle.
As CoinTelegraph reports, President Trump saying he is not a fan of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is "yuge" for the industry, commentators were suggesting after new tweets on July 12.
In the hours after the United States' president delivered his lackluster appraisal of crypto, the Bitcoin price stayed stable, only to then begin growing to hit 5% gains Friday.
Negative or not, for proponents, the event marked a psychological milestone for Bitcoin, as Trump had previously held off from mentioning it in public.
The fact that he felt the need to bash Bitcoin publicly feeds the narrative that it is both independent of global powers and unable to be crushed by them, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrongstated, leading the responses.
"Achievement unlocked! I dreamt about a sitting U.S. president needing to respond to growing cryptocurrency usage years ago. 'First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.' We just made it to step 3 y'all," he tweeted.
Armstrong exemplified the buoyant mood among Bitcoiners. Others likewise thanked Trump for the free publicity, noting a surge in interest documented by Google Trends, while the president being wrong in his opinion also became a talking point on social media.
"Congratulations BTC community - the president of the United States feels we are worthy of a tweet now," cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Simon Dixon, added.
"Bitcoin has outperformed USD by 23,440,508% since it started being priced in USD."
Max Keiser, the RT host and regular Bitcoin bull, considered Trump to have nullified his chances of reelection in 2020, while eToro senior analyst, Mati Greenspan, described his words as an "early nomination for the most bullish tweet of the year."
Despite the conversely more stable price performance since the tweets, the possibility of a 'Trump pump' occurring for Bitcoin was also gaining traction among analysts.
"Trump is bullish for Bitcoin generally because his media tactics wobble geo-political uncertainty. Thanks for all the dollars flowing into Bitcoin," cryptographer and Hashcash inventor, Adam Back, added.
In the meantime, another, lesser-known cryptocurrency took the opportunity to capitalize on the buzz. TrumpCoin (TRUMP), an altcoin all but unknown since it appeared in March 2016, was up 28% Friday.

Budapest was everything we had heard about & more, making it incredibly memorable. In a way it reminded me of NY, not the flashy pretty Manhattan part, but the gritty, old 19th-20th century parts. Dark & brooding buildings which, for some reason, always inspire more in me than the artful & colored ones of other European cities. Maybe that's why I immediately felt at home walking the streets.


If you're planning to study in Australia, one of the most important things to start thinking about is your Sydney student accommodation. There are many options, from private rental to homestay, each of which offers its distinct advantages depending on your situation, needs, and goals. However, the best option for most students is to live on campus – and here's why.
The number-one reason most students choose to live on campus is proximity to their classes. When you live just a short walk from where you need to go every day, you don't have to deal with traffic or public transport – and this convenience makes it much easier to make it to all your classes throughout the semester. Shorter travel times also mean more sleep.
Your on-campus student accommodation in Sydney allows you access to campus amenities such as computer labs, the library, and recreation facilities. You'll have university resources at your fingertips anytime you need to, say, use the newest software to complete an important IT assignment or peruse the library for essay references.
Choosing on-campus student accommodation in Sydney City means that you'll have less to worry about when you arrive in Australia. You can make things even easier for yourself by living in a college that provides meals, tutoring, and more. You'll also have access to helpful orientation programs, pastoral care, and a safe environment in which to live and study.
One of the best perks of living in a college are the social opportunities they offer. It's easy to make new friends when there are frequent social activities planned. You'll probably meet lots of new people in the first week alone, positioning yourself to see some familiar faces in your classes when they begin.
Living on campus can be more budget-friendly than other accommodation options in Sydney City. Not only will the price of your accommodation include meals, utilities, and more, but you'll also save money on transport. Renting an apartment in the area usually costs much more.
element of serenity and comfort they add to your experience. We also offer an academic mentoring program and a diverse community to help you achieve your goals and enjoy a successful academic and social experience while you're here. Find your home away from home and become part of the university's historic college community – contact Sancta Sophia College today.

There are a lot of talented stylists out there but not many STAND OUT.

A creative hair stylist usually features an experience of several decades, with which he's developed an instinct to use his imagination and provide a whole new appearance to the client.
If you like being a hair stylist, but you dislike being tied down to a single location, think about starting a cell hair enterprise. To acquire the interest of the latest salons in your region, you're going to need a hair stylist resume that's properly shampooed and blow-dried. Hair stylists can do the job for a salon or barber, or else they may have a private company and work for themselves.

A certified hair stylist is all but always in demand, but income comes in a number of forms. The very best hair stylists are capable of using their customer service abilities to develop a loyal customer base as time passes. You wrote a terrific hair stylist resume.
Many salons generate income by selling products to customers, and the success of this kind of operation will be heavily determined by your customer service abilities.

Hairdressers who opt to enter salons which are part of a big company chain usually start in entry-level positions earning a little hourly pay rate. Tell that although you're inexperienced, you're more than prepared to begin working in the salon. Before you can begin a cell hair salon, you should attend beauty school and become a certified hair stylist.
In case you have at least two jobs in your work history it is going to be ok. In the event that you were applying for work in sales you would want to demonstrate ways to sell by selling yourself through your resume. A job as a direct sales consultant stipulates the individual with a lot of flexibility since they are in charge of their schedule.

William McCreary (born November 17, 1955, in Guelph, Ontario) is a former National Hockey League  referee. Before retiring in 2011, McCreary officiated 1,737 regular season games, 297 playoff games, and one NHL All-Star Game. McCreary wore uniform number 7 since the 1994–95 NHL season and wore a helmet for most of his refereeing career. He worked fifteen Stanley Cup Finals, the 1991 Canada Cup, the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, and the 1998, 2002 and 2010 Winter Olympics, where he officiated the gold medal game each time.

Early life
McCreary was born on November 17, 1955, in Guelph, Ontario. He learned to skate at the age of three years old after beating meningitis, which his sister had died from. McCreary competed with the Buffalo Tondas, Windsor Spitfires, and the Guelph Holody Platers in the SOJHL from 1973-76. After going undrafted out of junior hockey, he accepted a position at a machine shop and worked side jobs as a referee in local minor hockey games.

Career
McCreary was invited to an National Hockey League (NHL) officials training camp in 1981 after officiating for three years. After refereeing one major junior playoff game, he was hired by Scotty Morrison for the NHL. He eventually refereed his first NHL game in 1984 at Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland, then home of the Washington Capitals. During the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, he officiated the men's hockey gold medal game won by Canada vs USA by the score of 5-2.

During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, McCreary worked building kitchen cabinets to make ends meet.

In 2007, McCreary was selected to officiate the Stanley Cup Finals for the 13th year in a row. On February 16, 2008, McCreary refereed his 1,500th NHL game in a match between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins. In 2009, McCreary officiated the Stanley Cup Finals for the 14th time. He was also selected as one of 13 NHL referees to officiate at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, including the Gold Medal Game.

On December 22, 2009, McCreary officiated when Martin Brodeur broke Terry Sawchuk's career shutout record with his 104th shutout.

Although he had previously announced that he would retire as an NHL referee at the end of the 2009-10 NHL season, he returned for the 2010-11 NHL season. The next year, he was inducted into the Guelph Sports Hall of Fame. McCreary officiated his last NHL game on April 2, 2011, in Washington, D.C., between the Washington Capitals and Buffalo Sabres, a game won by the Capitals 5-4.

On June 23, 2014, the Hockey Hall of Fame Selection Committee announced that McCreary would be enshrined in the Hall of Fame with the 2014 class of inductees.

Personal life
McCreary and his wife Mary Ann have one daughter together.

No doubt Paul was expecting such a push-back from the congregation in Rome. This is not the first time that he had his message questioned. In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul reminded them: "Tell me this! Since you believe what we preach, that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying that dead people will never come back to life again?"1 Then later, Paul took issue with them because they quibbled over what kind of resurrected body they would have.2 These Jewish members of the Roman congregation were much like the Corinthians and Christians today. They not only seek to be guided by God's Word but are aware of all the concepts and philosophies of the world around them. And while it is proper to question the philosophies of men, Paul is agitated that any believer would dare question God's Word. It seems today that this concept has been completely reversed because some accept man's humanistic discipline while questioning God's spiritual discipline. This is fatal to our faith because God's Word contains His will, while man's philosophy harbors his wants.
Chrysostom observes that Paul does everything he can to embarrass any questioner. But instead of him rebutting such critics right away, he shuts them up with further questions. Good teachers use this method all the time. So instead of being led off on a tangent and into other areas not under discussion, they stay on course. It is like a gardener who pulls up the weeds, breaks up the ground before the seed is planted so it can grow much better. Too often some teacher tries to plant a full grown tree so the student has no work to do to make it grow.
Paul is obviously aware that many will form the opinion that God is responsible for our wanting to sin. Early church scholar Origen resists this idea. For sure, no one should resist God's will for their lives because His will is fair and proper. But whether it turns out for our good or bad things result depends on how we respond with our will. We work with what we know. Only God knows if a person's attitude will destine them for punishment or direct them to glory.7 Origen doesn't say God will send that person to be punished, but that unless the bad person accepts God's offer of salvation they are bound to go to their punishment by choice. Then Ambrosiaster states that Paul first teaches us that God is in control because He is more powerful than anyone else. Next, he teaches us that God is the Father of all and, therefore, does not want anyone to suffer evil. So what God has made us to be He wants to remain as He has designed us.8 So why worry then if God is going to go against His own will. What, if anything, will make us change us from doing good to doing bad? It's certainly not God. So there's only one other left, that's us.
Then Calvin applies the situation that Paul faced to his own time during the Middle Ages in Europe. He claims that the philosophers of his day in their schoolroom classes foolishly dispute what they call God's absolute and infinite authority to judge and convict. They forget that they are talking about God's own vow to be fair and equal to all. They accuse Him of exhibiting His unlimited power by throwing all those who disagree with Him into confusion. Calvin then paraphrases what he thinks Paul would have such people say: "Why should God be angry with us? Didn't He make us what we are? Doesn't He lead us wherever He wants us to go? What else does He want? Doesn't He know that by destroying us He is destroying the very thing He Himself made? We don't have the power to fight back against Him. It doesn't matter how much we try, He will still have the upper hand. That will make the outcome all that more unfair if He ends up condemning us. That makes it all the more obvious that we are outmatched by all the power He has."12 We can take this one step further and quote these words as being similar to the philosophy we hear in our world today. That's is, except for one caveat: today's philosophers would not ascribe as much power, control, and authority to God as those did back in Calvin's and Paul's day.
Adam Clarke also comments on those who, like Adam, blamed their fall into sin on Eve who in turn, blamed it on the snake. Clarke sees the Apostle Paul introducing a Jewish critic to make an objection similar to that in Romans 3:7: "How can God condemn me as a sinner if my dishonesty highlights His truthfulness and brings Him more glory?" In other words, if God's glory can best be seen and recognized when we are obstinate and rebellious, and He then allows us to become more and more hardhearted and hardheaded, why should He turn around then and find fault with our behavior? Furthermore, why would He then punish us for doing the very thing out of which He gets so much joy and pleasure?13 It's like accusing God of making a death wish for everyone in spite of the fact that He says He'd rather keep them alive. These are clearly the corrupt thoughts of degenerate individuals, all meant to somehow delegitimize and discredit God as the sovereign ruler of the universe.
H. A. Ironside sees the questions asked here as being those of a fatalist. Especially one who has come to the conclusion that God's will is irresistible and they are being moved around by His will, not theirs. So as far as they are concerned, they have absolutely no responsibility for what happens to them. Today they call it Karma and others say it's fate.15 That's why they see it as unfair that God would find fault with them. How can God judge them when they have no say over their lives. If God's will is irresistible, then let God be responsible for what happens. So they would say to Paul, "Where does my moral responsibility come in?"16 In other words, if God is responsible for all that takes place then why should I suffer if things go wrong? Likewise, if someone decides that since they are not interested in religion or the Bible or salvation, they should not then be held responsible for their immoral actions the same way as those who are inclined to believe in God. In so doing, they dismiss the idea that there are universal rules of conduct established by an Almighty God to which all believers and unbelievers will be held accountable.
8 Ambrosiaster: On Paul's Epistles, op. cit., loc. cit.
15 Karma is taught in Hinduism and Buddhism as the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence that ends up deciding their Fate which is the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power.
16 H. A. Ironside: On Romans, op. cit., loc. cit.

James D. Reynolds
James D. Reynolds MD
UBMD Ophthalmology at the Ross Eye Institute
Ophthalmology; Pathophysiology; Pediatric Ophthalmology; Retina; Vision science
Dr. Reynolds has various research interests in pediatric ophthalmology, but his main niche is retinopathy of prematurity. ROP is a disease of the developing immature retinal vasculature, modulated by hyperoxia/hypoxia micro environments in the retina, which can lead to neovascularization, scarring, and potential blindness. Dr. Reynolds is a recognized expert in the field and is the author of many peer reviewed articles and several invited review chapters. His NIH funding has been nearly continuous while at U.B. while participating in several multi-center clinical trials in ROP as center P.I. and project director.
Dr. Reynolds was the center P.I. at U.B. for the first large treatment trial for ROP, CRYO-ROP. This trial established the first known effective treatment for this high socioeconomic impact disease. As center P.I. he participated in the group collaborative publications as well as co authoring many individually by-lined papers (Ref. 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 37, 40, 42). His successful and productive work as a center P.I. on this trial led to the funding for the LIGHT-ROP multi-center trial for which he served as project director and lead P.I. This trial definitively answered a long debated hypothesis in ROP i.e. that ambient light was not a causal factor in ROP (Ref. 38, 41, 45, 47). Dr. Reynolds was again selected as a center P.I. for the next large multi-center ROP trial, ET-ROP, which just reported its primary results demonstrating that earlier laser treatment for this disease was effective.
Although all multi-center clinical trials are cooperative agreements at the NIH and thus are funded as UO1s rather than RO1s, Dr. Reynolds was an integral participant in all the ROP trials from the mid-eighties to the present, leading one, and actively co-authoring many of the studies?publications as noted in the bibliography. The future of Dr. Reynolds?ROP research will undoubtedly involve more funded multi-center trials. However, a basic science collaboration into the pathophysiology of ROP in an animal model is planned, investigating the renin-angiotension connection.

Review + Swatch | Nars | Pure Matte Lipstick in Amsterdam | Sheena V.
Putting Nars Pure Matte Lipstick to the test!
A few days back, Q and I went out for a seafood dinner at Newton.
So I thought, what better opportunity than to test out my new lipstick right? Hahaha.
I would describe the colour as a deep, blue-toned red with a hint of brown. A plus point for those struggling with stained teeth (me).
Application: 5 out of 5 Noting that the tip of the lipstick is round, unlike the usually tear drop shape, it is surprisingly easy to colour within the lines with precision.
Pigmentation: 4 out of 5 Swiped once, the colour is fairly opaque. I also found this lipstick to be buildable, to create a deeper red.
Texture: 5 out of 5 Perfect texture for a matte lipstick. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating. It had a touch of creaminess to allow the lipstick to glide on smoothly but it still dried down to a matte finish. Once applied and set, the lipstick did not move around.
*No foundation, only mascara, eye liner and the lipstick.
So now, how did it fare the eating test?
I had applied the lipstick, without a lip liner, an hour before the picture on the left.
As you can clearly tell, from a normal distance, the colour remained the same after the meal. It did not bleed, which is always a good thing. Don't you hate it when that happens?
Under closer inspection, right in front of a mirror, I could see that bits of it did come off but nothing too obvious. It did help that I have pigmented lips so for those who do not, it might pose a little bit of a problem for you. Although I would say its a negligible problem as it was presentable enough for one to get to the toilet and reapply.
I definitely suggest wiping off the rest of the remaining lipstick before reapplying because sauces tend to adhere to the lips. Afterall, you just ate and some pieces of food might have adhered to the lips.
Highly Recommended, especially for those wanting a fuss free red lip that will last throughout a meal. Very important factor if you're at an important function or special occasion.
As always, hope this was helpful!
Disclaimer: The lipstick was gifted to me by Nars SG for winning a contest. No, I wasn't paid to review it.

Sworders' 'Out of the Ordinary' sale offers a taste of the unusual
A collection of strange objects and remarkable oddities is heading for auction next week, at Sworders' second annual 'Out of the Ordinary' sale.
Ever wanted to own a centaur skeleton? How about Napoleon's death mask? Or even the emergency manual from Concorde's first flight? Then this is the sale for you.
The auction on February 12 will feature an array of weird and wonderful lots, ranging from taxidermy and natural specimens to outsider art, vintage advertising, decorative antiques and historic memorabilia.
A taxidermy Canadian Polar Bear (Image: Sworders)
Leading the auction is an imposing taxidermy Canadian polar bear, standing over two meters high in a fearsome pose and estimated at £20,000 – £30,000 ($26,000 – $39,000).
Further notable taxidermy specimens include an aardvark, a Congo peacock, a Chilean flamingo, a two-headed calf, a record-breaking Conger eel, a white Pomeranian dog, a bald hammer-headed fruit bat and a collection of crabs.
The complete skeleton of an Ice Age cave bear (Image: Sworders)
For collectors who like their natural specimens a little more ancient, there's a complete, original skeleton of an Ice Age cave bear, measuring two meters long and valued at £15,000 – $20,000 ($19,500 – $26,000).
And if you're looking for something unusual to hang your hat on, there's always a 19th century taxidermy sperm whale's penis, with a startling length of 167cm and an estimate of £3,500 – £4,500 ($4,500 – $5,800).

For history buffs, one of the most notable lots is a brass-plated cast of Napoleon Bonaparte's death mask.
The 19th century copy was taken from the original cast, made by the French Emperor's doctor Francois Carlo Antommarchi in 1821, and is valued at £800 – £1,200 ($1,000 – $1,500).

The panel was commissioned by HBO to celebrate the DVD release of the show's fifth season, and took 140 members of the U.K Embroiderers' Guild over 30,000 hours to create.

Buying a Trampoline: Why Go for a Rectangular Shape?
Do you remember how fun it was to jump on your bed until you got tired? Perhaps you even do it on your parents' bed because they had a bigger one. As fun as that was, wouldn't it be better if you can jump on the trampoline?
Whether it's for you or your kids, getting a trampoline is a good idea. After all, they are not only meant for parks and for athletic performance. Have one in your backyard for all those afternoons with the family. And did you know jumping on the rebounder has benefits for your health, too?
One thing to consider is the shape. You see circular trampolines especially around parks, but this shape can take up a lot of space.
Look at getting a rectangular trampoline, which offers the same amount of fun, while fitting better in certain spaces. The extra length makes it ideal for sharing.
Even if only one person will be using the trampoline, the rectangle form is a better choice for executing exhibitions. Trampolines.com says the rectangular shape is ideal for training gymnasts, and manufacturers started offering this because of the high demand.
Thanks to the internet, you can look for stores around your area and make the purchase online. Check out your choices and find guidelines on proper use of the equipment while you're at it.
Of course, you should keep in mind that finding a reliable manufacturer is also important. This is so that you will get a safe and durable trampoline. Even after a million jumps, it should still hold without compromising anyone's safety.
RELATED: Can Stress Affect Your Oral Health?
Jumping is fun and beneficial for the body, but it can be dangerous when you don't choose the right equipment. Don't just select the size or shape that looks good. Inquire about the trampoline that suits your space before making a purchase.

Defend Your Ground in the Stanislaus National Forest
A few weeks ago I attended the funeral of my grandfather, who had passed away after a heroic struggle with cancer. In one of the eulogies at the funeral, my aunt recounted a story where as a young girl she had gone out snowmobiling with a younger version of my Grandpa. Their adventure turned into an emergency when the machine broke down, and they were stuck and alone. My grandpa told his daughter to wait at the sled, and he would be back with help. He hiked out and called in one of his helicopters (yeah, he owned a helicopter company) to go back in and rescue my aunt and recover the machine. Afterwards, he always said, "If you're going to get a snowmobile, make sure you also have a helicopter."
Fortunately, disaster was averted. Today, safe snowmobiling has also evolved to where GPS devices and insurance products can make helicopter rescue available for an affordable price if it becomes absolutely necessary.
Since those heady days in the early days of the sport in the 70s and 80s, improvements and innovations have occurred to make the sport of snowmobiling more safe and fun. Unfortunately, the sport itself is facing an ominous threat in the form of growing movements to restrict winter motorized recreation – especially in the mountainous public land in the West.
With snow falling across many parts of the West, we hope those of you who snowmobile find some time in the coming days to escape into the mountains to lay down fresh tracks from a sled. While we fight for all forms of recreation access, BRC has deep roots in the fights for snowmobile access. Where sometimes the thing you need most in the backcountry is a helicopter, when it comes to fighting for access what we currently need are engaged users, activists, influencers and lawyers.
BRC recently agreed to be part of a legal challenge to the Stanislaus National Forest Winter Travel Plan in California. BRC and the American Council of Snowmobile Associations have joined the Sierra Snowmobile Foundation and several local stakeholders as plaintiffs.
The stakes in this challenge are high. The Stanislaus Winter Travel Plan unnecessarily closes vast areas of the forest to snowmobiling that have long been popular. The plan creates arbitrary minimum snow depth requirements for travel and restrictions based on elevation. Wildearth Guardians and the California Wilderness Coalition have intervened on behalf of the Forest Service and filed their own claim arguing for even more closures, focused heavily on amphibians that are well understood to hibernate during winter months.
We're now in court to argue that closing massive areas of a national forest to snowmobiling through the entire winter needs better documentation of real impacts. As part of our commitment to join this case we agreed to help raise the necessary funding to support our participation in this litigation. We're not alone either. CORVA, ACSA, and the Idaho State Snowmobile Association have made commitments to support the legal challenge. We've created a dedicated donation page to support the legal fund for this case, and we need everyone to respond to this fundraiser to support this legal action. Also please forward it to any of your club members our riding groups. If you know any snowmobilers who are influencers with large followings, we need them to spread the word.

Lately the things that matter most are blending in with the things that don't matter at all and all of that matter together is taking over the universe. I post these pictures now to remind myself of that which matters most.
Enough with the camera already.
But I don't care. I'll keep dragging this camera around and pointing away. Because it matters and I need to remember that and sometimes this is the only way I know how. And eleven days from now, when we celebrate the wedding feast of our second-born, we'll be right there in the midst of the matter, having done all that matters to prepare, and waiting with expectant joy for the look of love on the bridegroom's face as his bride walks through the door, pure and beautiful.


Are You Using Your Kitchen Sink Properly?
The sink is an essential part of everyone's kitchen, which is used on a daily basis to clean dishes and dispose of food. It is important that the kitchen sink is properly maintained so your dishes don't get compromised. Follow these tips for your sink to ensure that it is sufficiently clean.
The best way to ensure that your sink is clean at all times is to actually clean it on a regular basis. This doesn't mean you have to clean your sink every day. There may be some days that your sink doesn't get used at all, but any time you put food in the sink or wash your dishes, be sure to clean the sink as well.
The water that gets trapped under a sponge or cleaning pad can cause discoloration of the surface of your sink. It can also cause bacteria to build up if the sponge wasn't washed out properly.
Any time you are washing dishes or leave behind any traces of food in your sink, it needs to be rinsed out. Leaving behind even the smallest bits of food can cause bugs and bacteria to gather in your sink. Run hot water in your sink for a few minutes after each use to ensure every drop of food has been washed down the drain.
Solid foods like chicken bones or fruit peels should be thrown in the trash. If you wash them down the drain, it can cause your pipes to clog and could possible damage them. Any small food residue left on your plate is okay to wash down the drain, just as long as it is small enough to pass through easily.
Letting water sit along the surface of your sink for too long can cause minerals to build up, which can cause damage to the exterior of the sink. Use a towel to dry out the sink to ensure this doesn't happen.
Some of these household cleaners have a lot of chemicals in them. Letting these products dry on the surface of your sink won't only damage it, but they might get stuck on and become hard to remove.
This means always observing how your sink is working. If there is a leak in your sink that you aren't aware of, it could be there for days causing other problems to occur. By constantly checking the efficiency of the sink, you can get any problem fixed as soon as it occurs and prevent further damages.
Proper maintenance and cleaning of a sink is essential to keep it functioning for a long time. If you do find any problems with your sink, even if it is minor, contact an expert at JMAC Plumbing & Air Conditioning immediately. They have over 30 years of experience and can fix any type of repair. For more information about Las Vegas plumbing services, contact 702.227.5622.


One of the many advantages of offering your used electronics for sale online is that this activity is environmental friendly. By doing so, you indulge in recycling the electronics that are no longer useful for you. The parts of the device that are of any use are sold by the companies for a good price and they offer you a part of this as well. You fill your pocket on the one hand and help efficient use of the resources that are a waste for you on the other end. The old device for you now works a new one for someone else who might be in need of the same. This way you do a lot by simply offering your used electronic for sale in the market.
By offering your old devices which are useless to you for sake, you ensure that these electronics do not sit at your home uselessly and pile on. Instead these are flowing in the market in the one form or the other. Moreover, you can pile these waste for few years and then finally a day comes when you just throw them way. It is here when these move from your house to the landfill areas, where they are ready like monsters to contaminate the soil and underground water table. While rotting they also release the toxic gases. So, by offering these for sale you are readily helping in getting rid of the e-waste that is actually hazardous.
All In all, these are the benefits of offering used electronics for sale. By taking just a single step you tend to do a lot of things and provide help in a lot of ways.

The Other Shoe Finally Drops On Old Dominion…
The news of Old Dominion's impending closure has finally hit the Internet beer sites and I doubt many are surprised. For several months or more, the question of closing the brewery's Ashburn location has only been one of when, not if. And the only sub-question was, "How long is the company's lease?" Not quite two months ago I wrote of the closing of the brewery's pub:
I think at this point the real question for Old Dominion fans is what will become of the brands and the brewery in the future. As Coastal runs another brewery in Dover, Delaware*–one that is large enough with expansion to cover all the company's brands–the inefficiencies of running two small facilities will inevitably lead to a consolidation of production. As the company's corporate parents are located in Annapolis, and the pub is now closed, it's not difficult to see where things are headed. I don't know how long Old Dominion's lease on the property runs (a sufficiently long time I would venture from Coastal's attempt to salvage the pub) but I wouldn't expect Old Dominion's Ashburn brewery to remain open any longer than Coastal can control.
So today it was announced that in a "consolidation" of brewing operations, co-owner Coastal Brewing Company will move all brewing operations to the company's facility in Dover, Delaware, in 2009. At least for the moment, Coastal claims that its full line of beers, including brands under both the Old Dominion and Fordham names, will continue to be brewed, marketed, and distributed throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. This position isn't likely to continue and the deal, which gave Coastal access to the distribution system of its new partner, Anheuser-Busch, is even more of a head scratcher now then when it went through last year. In the press release, Coastal specifically name-checks the Dominion Ale, Dominion Lager, and Oak Barrel Stout, so I'd expect to see these continue. And Coastal may continue a few seasonal products, perhaps the Octoberfest and the Millennium Barleywine, but I'd get ready to say goodbye to more than 3/4's of the brewery's products.
With the closing of the Ashburn facility, Old Dominion's story really comes to an end. I've enjoyed many good times and beers in Ashburn and am sad to see the brewery go, although the passing was a slow and painful one. One thing is clear out of this situation: Virginia is in strong need for a regional brewery and it's open season for brands from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and other nearby states.
Is Philadelphia Really A Great Beer City? We'll Soon See…
So we're headed to Philadelphia and its northwestern suburbs for a family event next week and weekend, which, of course, I plan to turn into a beer trip. I first became conscious of Philadephia's craft beer scene when I sampled my first and favorite beer from the town: Independence Brewing Company's Franklinfest. A malty, toasted Octoberfest style beer, I can still remember how it tasted and how much I enjoyed it. Sadly, Independence didn't make it but my interest in the town remained.
I first visited Philadelphia for beer a decade or so ago on a circuitous beer tour from Chicago to Wilmington, North Carolina. After enjoying time in Pittsburgh, at Stoudt's and central Pennsylvania, we made our way through Victory and into Philadelphia proper. Pre-Beerfly days, we only had a well-worn copy of the excellent Beer Lover's Guide to the United States to guide us. And after an aborted attempt to visit the Northeast Taproom in Reading (Stan and Daria's guide was excellent but in the days before cellphones, books couldn't tell you when a place decided to close on Mondays), we spent a fun night in the city. After visiting the well-known places, including Monk's, we took a book recommendation and headed to McGillin's. At the city's oldest bar, we ran into the owners of Flying Fish (who gave my brother handwritten directions to his version of the area's best bars) and a little known guy trying to give away t-shirts and pint glasses to people who would try his brown ale. Despite his efforts, the guy didn't get much attention that night, much to our surprise as beer lovers. For that guy was Sam Calagione, founder of the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. We sat down and chatted with Sam for a little while and I still have a snifter the bar gave away for buying one of his beers.
Several years later, after returning from my first trip to Bamberg, Germany, I foolishly opined on some Internet beer group that I didn't believe Philadelphia to be a great beer town. I was heavily criticized at the time and have spent recent years considering the city's place in the pantheon of great beer cities of the world. In recent months, I've had the opportunity to visit the few great American beer cities I had managed not to hit, including Seattle and Portland, Oregon. While I plan to do a future BeerAdvocate column on the subject of great beer cities and whether designating such a pursuit actually matters, my upcoming trip has returned my focus to Philadelphia.
I have to admit to a certain amount of excitement on my part at getting a chance, after a few years away, to return to Philadelphia. But in reviewing the usual online sites, including the excellent Beermapping.com, I still wonder at the pronouncements of fellow beer writers Don Russell, Lew Bryson, Jack Curtin, and a number of other locals that Philadelphia is "America's Best Beer Drinking City.�? I've previously laid out here and in my book my criteria for a great beer city and Philly definitely meets several of those marks, with a handful of top-notch beer bars (Monk's, Tria, Eulogy) that heavily focus on educating the public. And as I haven't been there in a while, I'm looking forward to seeing how well craft beer has integrated into regular drinking establishments in the city. But when it comes to breweries and brewpubs, I think this is where I have some pause about claims of Philly's greatness. For brewpubs, the city offers Nodding Head, Manayunk, and Triumph Brewing. I've been to Nodding Head several times and enjoy its quirky environment and solid beers, but have not had a chance to visit Manayunk and relative newcomer Triumph. But that is it for the city, three brewpubs, although I plan to stop by Tom Baker's new enterprise in Germantown and expect that will add greatly to the city's brewpub balance. In looking at local breweries, we see even less to support Philly's claims of greatness. Dock Street is celebrating its one-year anniversary at its new location and has a history almost as twisted as the Concord Brewery's story. Yard's Brewing has also had a up and down history and its story continues to unfold. I know very little of the Philadelphia Brewing Company and look forward to trying its beers but doubt it would be touted as a 'great' place. In terms of locally produced beer, Philadelphia doesn't appear to have much of a grasp on the greatest title.
With this said, I'm still excited about visiting and drinking in Philadelphia because it actually reminds me of the best drinking city this country has to offer: Chicago. My home town may not be able to lay claim to being the greatest beer drinking city, although I think it could put up a fight, the character and quantity of its drinking establishments, in my opinion, is unmatched anywhere in America. My visits to Philadelphia and its drinking establishments, as well as reviewing descriptions of other Philly beer bars, reminds me so much of Chicago. I've never been to several of the city's best drinking establishments (at least as they are described online), including The Grey Lodge and the Standard Tap, but I am expecting to thoroughly enjoy them. But I wonder whether a handful of great bars can be enough to raise Philly to the top echelon of great beer drinking cities in America.
When local guys such as Don, Lew, and Jack tout Philly's beer drinking prowess, I get the sense that their definition of 'Philadelphia' is probably a lot broader than mine. I expect that they include places like Victory (35 miles west), the Sly Fox and Iron Hill establishments (15-20 miles outside), Flying Fish (15 miles east in New Jersey), and other outlying establishments. With all that the northwestern suburbs of Philly have to offer, I'm not going to argue with designating Eastern Pennsylvania as a classic and great beer region. And I'll be stationed in this area and will be visiting the Earth Bread + Brewery, Victory, and probably the General Lafayette Inn, as well as a few other places (with any luck, the Drafting Room in Exton). But as to the city itself, I have my doubts.
In any event, local beer lovers clearly have a lot to brag about in Philadelphia and its outlying areas. And we cannot overlook the achievement that is the Philly Beer Week project, one I plan to attend this year. I'm looking forward to the trip and to putting the Philly propaganda line to the test.
A Brief Recap and Review of the 2008 Great American Beer Festival…
The annual Great American Beer Festival has just concluded another eventful run in Denver and I just returned back to Boston after an early morning flight. During the trip, I spent time in both Colorado Springs and Denver, with attendance at two of the 27th annual festival's sessions. This year's incarnation continued to build upon the event's successful history, if with some troubles. There is no question that with more than 2000 beers available on the floor from more than 450 breweries, the GABF remains an impressive logistical undertaking and a feat of coordination. This year's event sold out for the second straight time and did so two weeks before the opening session. With all of its success, the festival stumbled in one critical area: crowd management. In giving access to the 46,000 people who attended the event, several thousand were forced to stand in line for more than an hour before entering the festival. Inside the convention hall, the festival was packed, even during the normally light Thursday session. Despite its gains, the GABF may have reached its tipping point in terms of population.
The festival gives attendees, especially those in the industry, an unparalleled opportunity to hob-knob with other beer lovers, brewers, and pub owners and this year didn't disappoint. For those interested, there were countless side events and late-nights at the GABF's unofficial headquarters at the Falling Rock. For my part, I especially enjoyed meeting Don Younger and getting to spend some time with my old friend Toshi Ishii of Japan (and England, Norway, and countless other brewing locales).
Beyond the usual events and overwhelming number of beers present, the festival this year appeared to lack a bit of the enthusiasm and sense of wonder that it has in the past. It's a bit hard to put your finger on exactly the cause, be it the down economy or some other reason. In any event, brewers were in shorter supply at their tables and in attendance during the event itself than in years past. The focal point of the week appears to have shifted away from the convention floor itself and into the city and state more generally.
Without question, where the brewers left off, the burgeoning new media picked up. Bloggers were omni-present, with many reporting directly from the festival floor or the adjacent media room. For those who weren't able to attend the event, you could read near-contemporaneous accounts from a wide variety of sources. I was particularly impressed with Draft Magazine's work during the event, including its video interviews with a dozen or more brewers and other beer folks directly from the festival floor.
And while I'll have more on the GABF here and in Beverage Business in the future, including on Anheuser-Busch's strong specialty releases (excluding its oddly British 'American Ale'), the Siebel Institute's sensory evaluation course, and the somewhat surprising announcement of the return of SAVOR, I wanted to offer a few thoughts on the event. By the numbers, the BA handed out 222 awards out of more than 2900 beers entered in the competition, rounding out to about 7.5-percent of beers entered picking up a medal. Stop to think about that number for a moment. We often hear beer geeks complain about the GABF and nit-pick particular selections. But in the end, fewer than 1 in 13 beers received a medal and just over 2-percent received the much-coveted gold. When you think about the breweries that win multiple medals, fest after fest, questions about the judging process have to be laid to rest.
Attendance at the GABF by New England brewers, even where the Brewers Association's Board of Directors is presently chaired by Rich Doyle, CEO and founder of the region's largest craft brewery, continues to be poor. Of the 472-plus breweries in attendance, only 16 attended from New England. Of those in attendance, New England brewers managed to take home only 3 GABF medals, with Cambridge Brewing winning a gold in the highly competitive experimental category for its Arquebus, a bronze for Amherst Brewing Company's Ryeteous Red, and a bronze in the aged beer category for Boston Beer's Samuel Adams Utopias 2003. All told, New England brewers took home just over 1-percent of the total medals awarded. When you compare that to the impressive showings of a town like Philadelphia, let alone the Mid-Atlantic or California and Colorado regions, and New England's performance is very disappointing.
As a final note, I want to extend congratulations to the winners of the Brewers Association's Michael Jackson Beer Journalism Awards, including Lew Bryson in the Trade and Specialty Beer Media category. While I personally disagree with journalists participating in the awards, Lew is a good and thorough writer and I look forward to reading his winning piece.

The COVID-19 diaries part one: "Fatigued and sad"
As the coronavirus crisis devastates Detroit, family medicine physician Asha Shajahan is providing The Indian SCENE daily dispatches about her experience on the frontlines. (All photos courtesy Dr. Asha Shajahan)
This is the first installment of Dr. Asha Shajahan's essay series on being a healthcare worker during a pandemic.
Day One: Superheroes
I left home nervously for my first COVID-19 unit shift. I had seen COVID-19 patients in my outpatient office and also seen homeless patients on the streets, but this was different. These patients were critically ill, fighting for their lives in a pandemic. The freeway was void of cars. COVID news played on my car radio. I changed the station to clear my mind. Lawn signs lined the street leading to the hospital reading "healthcare hero!" and "We support our healthcare workers." Who would have thought those little signs would have such an impact on my psyche? I felt encouraged.
At the hospital entrance, a staff member greeted me. She wanted my clearance to enter the building as if it was a top-secret center. It wasn't just my ID badge that granted permission to enter, rather the results of a symptom screening app downloaded to my phone. No cough, no fever, no recent exposure to COVID; I was clear. She squirted sanitizer in my hands, handed me dark purple gloves and a blue surgical mask. This is how every shift begins.
I've worked several 12-hour shifts in my career, none quite like this one. The hospital was empty — don't get me wrong, it was full of 150 COVID-19 positive patients, but the hallways were lifeless. There were no nurses gathered at the nurses' station. The Starbucks was dark and closed. No families were in the waiting rooms. There was no laughter or music, just an eerie stillness. My footsteps were loud in the silence. The unit doors were all closed, with signs in red stating HIGH ALERT. Patient doors were closed with signs noting, "Enhanced respiratory contact precautions required," a signal that nobody should enter without personal protective equipment (PPE). Cabinets lined the hallways, replacing the usual computers and workers. Inside the cabinets were gowns, gloves, and hand sanitizer.
"Patient doors were closed with signs noting, "Enhanced respiratory contact precautions required," a signal that nobody should enter without personal protective equipment (PPE)."
Everyone had masks on, all different kinds. Several had N95 masks, others had surgical masks, and some even had trendy homemade colorful ones. It felt like a strange masquerade ball. It was odd seeing only people's eyes. The nurses' eyes looked different than they had in the past. Now, they were bloodshot red, fatigued and sad.
On my way to pick up my PPE, I saw a drawing on the door. It was a picture of Superman, standing among healthcare workers as fellow heroes. Our hero suits are not nearly as stylish as Superman's: first, gloves, then an N95 mask, checked to make sure it was fitted properly, with no air coming through, then a surgical mask over it. Behind the layers, it's hard to breathe. Goggles covered my eyes; a face shield, with a rubber crown was placed on my forehead. A pale yellow gown was draped over my scrubs. My hair, tied back in tight bun, was covered with a surgical cap. My armor was on. I was ready for war.
I reviewed my patient list and was shocked at the range of ages, 18 to 103, all with COVID-19. There were many patients who tested negative but had X-rays with bilateral infiltrates and lab tests consistent with COVID. It was alarming that 30 percent of tests had produced false negative results. I wonder how many people were sent home with a "negative."
A familiar face came into the doctor's lounge, a seasoned colleague. He advised me that nobody was going into the rooms of patients unless absolutely necessary. Patients received one physical exam a day unless otherwise needed. "Don't go in the room unless you have to. You can FaceTime or call them on the phone if you need to speak to them." With fear in his blue eyes, he said, "Asha, you're young. I know you like to go above and beyond, but COVID is different, your life is at risk." It felt unnatural and impersonal to avoid patient rooms. But I understood the circumstances. It still felt unreal that all of this was caused by a hidden, microscopic virus.
My phone rang; a patient was having difficulty breathing. My heart was racing as I entered the room. Here goes, I thought. The fear melted as soon as I saw her lying in the bed. She had oxygen on and was struggling to breathe. Her heart rate was high. She was anxious. Her hands were shaking. Her TV was blaring. "What are you watching?" I asked. "Oh, I dunno, something on the Hallmark Channel," she said, winded by the sentence. We proceeded to chat about my favorite show, "The Golden Girls," often in reruns on the Hallmark Channel. She smiled, and her respirations decreased. She appeared calmer.
After I examined her, I joked about how my mask made me sound like Darth Vader. We both laughed. She said, "It's scary to be in here all alone." After a few minutes of conversation, her vitals normalized. She had COVID-19, but that wasn't her immediate problem; it was loneliness. I went back to the doctor's lounge to grab a get well card made by my nieces. I noticed a flower pot filled with bright yellow flowers in the hallway. Inconspicuously, I looked around. It couldn't hurt, I thought, plucking a yellow flower from the pot. I handed it to the patient, and her eyes welled with gratitude. "God bless you," she said.
"My armor was on. I was ready for war."
I wasn't sure if she could tell I was smiling beneath my mask. I responded, "I'm here all night! Holler if you need me."
When I got home that day, I went to my office. A Superman figurine, given to me by a former resident, years ago, was tucked away in a drawer. At the time, it was a silly gag gift. I dusted it off, and placed it on my desk. It would do, but Superman wasn't quite the fit; the Avengers made more sense. Because to run a COVID unit takes a team of superheroes, from the patient transporters, janitors, phlebotomists and pharmacists to the nurses, physician's assistants, nurse practitioners and doctors. It's all of us together, only alongside the most important fighters: the patients.
Day Two: Death and COVID-19
It was chilly in the long, white sterile hall. Emerging like angels escorting a soul, four people wearing N95 masks walked beside a hospital bed covered in a black sheet. It was silent, except for the sound of the wheels of the bed rolling against the floor. They were going to the morgue. Just hours earlier, he had been in the intensive care unit, on a ventilator, battling COVID-19. His outcome was dismal. His family understood and had agreed to a compassionate wean off of the breathing machine. He was allowed two people at his bedside as he breathed his last.
I wondered if I died, who would I want at my bedside if it could only be two people? It's a difficult decision many are making in the most horrific circumstances.
With COVID-19, the mortality is high for about 20 percent of patients. Three code blues occurred that night. One was a 30-year-old African American male. Another was 70-year-old Caucasian man and then an 80-year-old woman.
Regardless of age, I noticed that only one out of 55 patients had an advance care plan, or a set of wishes regarding end of life choices. This includes desired treatments such as CPR, being on a ventilator or feeding tube. It also states who will make medical decisions if one is unable to communicate. If this isn't done in advance, it causes a lot of confusion. There was a family who couldn't decide what to do. A mother wanted everything to be done to save her son who was dying. His father wanted to stop any life prolonging measures because he realized his son wouldn't recover. In such a stressful time, the family was in conflict. An advance directive could've prevented this turmoil.
It was a rough night; another patient passed away. An hour went by, no family came. The nurse asked, "What do you think is taking so long?" Perhaps the family was trying to determine who would be the two to come to the hospital. Would it be a spouse, a child, a sibling, mother or father? Who would get the privilege to see him off into the next world? Nobody wants to get that call, ever. But during this pandemic, the call is so much more devastating. Families will never get closure for not being with their loved one when he or she died. Funerals will be small. It's quite frankly a tragedy. As it turned out, the family declined to come because all members were sick at home with COVID. My heart ached. I sighed and went on to complete my rounds.
Day 3: Health Disparities
The news was raging about how COVID-19 was taking the lives of African Americans. It was not sensationalism. Of my list of patients, 77 percent were African American, which is unusual for my hospital. Institutional racism, social injustices and the consequences of health disparities are subjects I teach medical residents. Now, the disparity was staring me in the face. Detroit has a long history of racial disparities, from redlining that occurred in housing to the demolition of an African American business community known as Black Bottom. More so than racial disparities, socio-economic disparities have the biggest adverse impact on health outcomes. It's a domino effect. If one can't afford healthcare, then access to care is difficult. Access to healthy foods, safe neighborhoods, transportation, poor education, and affordable housing all contribute to a person's health. It's been said that your zip code is more important than your genetic code. Detroit has a 33 percent poverty rate. Michigan has the third highest number of COVID cases in the nation, yet it's only the 10th largest state. It's not surprising that zip codes 48235 and 48224 are the hardest hit neighborhoods with COVID-19 in the city. To date, there are 7,605 cases of COVID in Detroit and 605 deaths. I wonder what will change post COVID to address these health disparities. Will leaders remember that to make a community's citizens healthier, we have to address the social factors that are making us sick? Or will it fall on deaf ears?
One of my African American friends was hospitalized on my unit. It was his fifth day. He didn't look good, and he couldn't recognize me behind my PPE. He looked so uncomfortable, breathing heavy. I was worried for him. His labs weren't favorable either. If he was put on a ventilator, he wouldn't do well. He has an extensive history of lung disease and it doesn't help that he lives in a highly polluted area in the city. He told me, "It's the worst feeling, not being able to breathe." I closed my eyes and prayed. What else could I do? Hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc were the protocol medications being used, but they don't work all the time. In fact, hydroxychloroquine can cause more complications. One patient kept going into a heart arrhythmia all night; we almost had to shock her. Other than these medications and oxygen support, we can only wait out the storm of COVID-19 and aspire to avoid intubation. The patient has to fight, and we have to hope for the best. My friend was lucky. His breathing improved and he avoided the ICU. He was safe for now.

Newell: Apple is biggest threat to living room
Written by David Hing
Tags: #big-picture #gabe-newell #living-room
Companies: #steam #valve
Valve head honcho Gabe Newell has stated that it is Apple and not any of the current console manufacturers that presents the biggest threat to the company's attempt to conquer the living room.
Giving a lecture at the University of Texas' LBJ School of Public Affairs, Polygon reports that Newell has his eyes on Apple's growth and its potential.
'The threat right now is that Apple has gained a huge amount of market share, and has a relatively obvious pathway towards entering the living room with their platform,' said Newell.
He went on to highlight that factors including increased hard drive space and the ability to use hardware that consumers already own will make it easier for the PC to move towards a living room environment.
'It's like one of those things where afterwards it will seem like it was very simple, when beforehand, everyone sort of denied that it was possible,' added Newell.
Valve has most recently attempted to provide the option for players to move their PC gaming habits into the living room through development of its Big Picture mode, which scales Steam's user interface up for a larger screen and also simplifies input to be more accessible through a control pad.
The Steam Box itself is currently still in development. The recently announced Xi3 Piston has been erroneously reported as the Steam Box itself, but instead this is simply a small PC that has received funding from Valve and is apparently optimised for Steam's Big Picture mode. The Steam Box will reportedly be fully developed and distributed by Valve as opposed to going through a third party.

The lacklustre Apple TV was launched in 2007 and acts as a media server, able to stream content from iTunes and various other online video platforms onto a larger television screen.
