My students occasionally assert that religion is the cause of all war. I disagree and ask them about World War 2. "Well, it was about the Jews" they answer, with all the grasp of history of ill informed 16yr olds viewing events of 70 years ago. I explain that it was about Fascism and Nationalism and aggressive politics. They remain unconvinced. I point out that WW1 had no overt religious element, that the Falklands War was about Nationalism and politics. I try to look at Vietnam and Korea with them. "But they're Buddhists." they proclaim. Yes, but it wasn't about Buddhism but about the spread of a political ideaology in Communism. "What about the IRA? That's all about Catholics and Protestants." Maybe, but that's tribal. It's not about Christianity. Real Christians wouldn't behave that way.
And now we have Terry Jones and his Quaran burning. (That is not that nice Terry Jones from Monty Python.) In September 2010 this was all over the media here. Pastor Terry Jones from the Dove World Outreach Centre Church in Florida had threatened to burn multiple copies of the Quran on Sept 11th as a protest against....well, all sorts of things really.
The Dove World Outreach Centre Church? You sort of know what's coming don't you? This is no mainstream denomination. It is a pentecostal-style set-up with a congregation of between 30 and 50. The sort of place where pastors work who are trained at the Hicksville Southern Baptist Bible College (no formal academic qualifications required to teach). Oh, but it's even worse than that. Pastor - or as we really ought to call him - "pastor" - or to be truly accurate, Mr. Terry Jones is both self taught and self ordained. How can one self ordain? Can one self ordain?
Ordination requires specific regulated academic standards in theology and doctrine from accredited theological colleges and authorisation by a recognised denomination. Hatred of Muslims isn't a required qualification for ordination: well not on this side of the Atlantic anyway.
So, why does he want to burn copies of the Quran? Initially this was some vague protest which seemed "appropriate" to the anniversary of 9/11 (or for British readers 11/9). It now seems to have become linked with the prospective building of a new (which isn't new because it is an extension of property already owned by the Muslim authorities) mosque (which isn't a mosque but a cultural centre) at Ground Zero (which isn't at Ground Zero but several blocks away) - but let's not let factual inaccuracy get in the way of a good bit of Muslim bashing. He has been on Facebook holding a Quran and claiming that "This book is responsible for 9/11" I may go on and hold up a copy of the Bible and say "This book is responsible for the Crusades and the Holocaust." It's not the books. It's the misguided people who read and interpret the books against their prevailing doctrine and morality. Can you blame all Christians for all time for the Crusades? Of course not. Can you blame all Muslims in the same way for 9/11? Apparently so in some of the less logical branches of the American Right and that is both mad and dangerous. Dangerous to us all. If it was Just "Pastor" Jones one might just be tempted to feel that whatever came his way as a result of his actions would be well deserved and little mourned, but that is more of a Buddhist worldview and we are required to love and forgive this man. The way of the disciple is indeed hard.
"Pastor" Jones shows all the signs of early-onset Republicanism in his intolerance of diversity and active fear and hatred of Islam. He seems to believe that an act of gross provocation such as burning Qurans is somehow sending a message to Muslims that America will not take any more! "Where do we draw the line?" he asks.
So let me just get this right then. Burning Qurans is going to send a message to Muslim extremists? You bet it will, and the ramifications of this ill thought through strategy will be wholesale bloodshed and murder. Already Jones has the death of two men on his conscience, and he has only threatened to burn the books: two Afghan men were shot in an attack on a NATO base in Afghanistan. A NATO base run by Germans, who most of us know aren't Americans. The cry now goes up "Kill the Christians!" as reported in my newspaper. So potentially anyone of European, Australasian or North American background becomes fair game.
Even his mayor, Craig Lowe has come out against him, saying he is "Part of a fringe group and an embarrassment to our community."
Ah, but all is well. He has been in contact with the Imam at the new (but not new) Mosque (which is not a mosque) at Ground Zero (which isn't at Ground Zero) who has agreed to a trade off. No Book burning and no Mosque.
Hang on. That doesn't sound credible.
No. The Imam concerned denies any such conversation.
Of the two, guess where my money goes on the honesty, integrity and reliability stakes?
What is this man doing? What is he about? Publicity of course. How wonderful in today's democracy that one lone nutter can cause the world to hold its breath. One lone nutter, who is NOT an ordained minister; whose "church" is NOT affiliated to any denomination; one lone nutter who has a support base of 30-50; one lone nutter who was thrown out of his previous "church" for "financial irregularities" - also known in plain-speaking as theft.
And this man commands the media? Or perhaps more to the point, the media flocked to him and thus lit the blue touch paper via the oxygen of publicity and a non-story became international news and, once again, we are left speculating to what extent the press, our guardians of free speech, have reported or made the news. Of course it is wonderful that he has been universally condemned but he has still scored a victory for those hardy "Christian" zealots who support this brand of provocative anti-Muslim insanity: now the Westboro Baptists have jumped on the bandwagon - those role-models of all things good in Christianity.
Book burning is cultural vandalism and aggression. The Romans and the Christians did it to Hebrew scripture; the Catholics did it to Lutheran texts; the Nazis did it to "decadent" writings; the Serbs did it to Bosnian-Muslim writings. It's been going on down the ages. What great examples to follow while making a recruitment drive for Al Qaida.
For those of us viewing the furore from this side of the Atlantic it continues to remain a mystery that Christianity - albeit a form of Christianity Jesus would not recognise - has become profoundly intertwined with political agendas and the concept of patriotism allowing such feelings to be hijacked by the conservative populists who take Fox News as gospel and love Glen Beck and right-wing shock-jocks on the radio. A climate of fear has been stirred up and President Obama himself, remember, is deemed by many on the right to be anti-American and, of course, a secret Muslim because he doesn't wear his church attendance on his sleeve. This is the politics of division and fear which has polarised the political landscape, marginalised, ignored, misrepresented and upset the relatives of the dead who are being invoked as supporters of a cause many do not support, which potentially leads to the scapegoating of Muslim citizens, the burning of holy books and the banning of places of worship. This is no way to commemorate those who died on the planes, in the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon.
Ceremonies commemorating 9/11 should be peaceful, dignified and respectful and not sidetracked by inflammatory sideshows. Let's pray that this aberration of a "Christian" gets the message.
Could I suggest you all listen to Radio4's Thought For The Day for Sept 10th with Dr. Mona Siddiqui.
On 20th March 2011, largely ignored by the mainstream media, Mr. Jones went ahead and burnt a Quran. The power of Blogs, Facebook and Twitter in this age ensured the story spread like wildfire.
The consequence of this (so far) has been the death of seven U.N. workers in a mob riot in Northern Afghanistan. No doubt there will be more to come.
Mr Jones takes no responsibility for these deaths. "We find it very tragic any time that someone is murdered but we do not feel any responsibility for that." (The Observer 03.04.11) Someone needs to take this man on one side and spell out the nature of cause and effect to him.
He added "It definitely does indicate that there is a very radical element of Islam."
There's a very radical element of Christianity, too, Mr. Jones and you are right up there in the vanguard.
Still, that's what Christianity is all about - if you're pompous, stubborn, self-serving, irresponsible, self-publicising, deluded and dangerous.
Mr. Jones' new organisation is called Stand Up America. Ah someone else hi-jacking the identity of all for his own narrow agenda, akin to the amorphus Moral Majority. The Observer reports that Jones' church has "...put up three signs that that read Islam is of the Devil. A passing dessenter appears to have vandalised them, scrawling over the hate speech a new message that stated: Love all men."
I know it sounds trite but if we follow the model of Jesus when dealing with those of other faith groups, even those who were despised, you don't find him being provocative. What you get is courteous engagement: Jesus with the Centurion and Jesus with the Syro-Phoenecian woman for a starter and then the iconic story of the Good Samaritan, where Jesus deliberately makes a marginalised and despised foreigner the hero of his parable. Why? To make a point Mr. Jones hasn't learnt!
This is all so wrong. I'd like to see Jones' actions treated in the same way as that of a person yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, which caused a stampede and people to be killed. Sigh... I know it won't happen.
This man is NOT a ordained minister. He should be arrested for 'Hate Crimes'. His actions have killed innocent people.
I would quibble with some of the particulars, but you have the right of the spirit of the message.
As you pointed out elsewhere, people who promulgate this sort of vengeful, hateful rhetoric are Leviticites, not Christians.

The New York Times Magazine has a new feature where notable people list the 10 books they would take "if they were marooned on a desert island" and Ta-Nehisi Coates, national correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and author of Between the World and Me , opted in. His picks run the gamut, from Edith Wharton to Tony Judt . But among those picks is not the person who gave his book a ringing endorsement and the sort of imprimatur that gives a book on race the feel of authenticity and authority: Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison.
On one Facebook page people are clamoring for answers — or providing some of their own. Possibly, conclude nearly all, Coates is a turncoat: after achieving the requisite liberal establishment nod of approval, he has shown his true colors. Moreover, says some, it could mean he's tacky: forgetting to acknowledge a literary icon who has endorsed you is bad manners. Or he's falsely literary. Even worse, it's just plain cynical, calculated publicity: Get the endorsement of the reigning literary light of African-American literature, and instantly make your career as a burgeoning black voice. Cynicism aside, this list appears to be a combination of the personal and professional: Coates has listed those influences that helped him achieve his personal vision and the essence of his craft. Ultimately, though, Coates already gave Morrison the best tribute: By honoring her place as the clearance for anybody who has something to say about the black condition. You'll notice it on the front flap of Between the World and Me.

Kunstler on Tom and His Green World
by Keith Schneider April 18, 2007 April 18, 2007
Jim Kunstler, the author of The Geography of Nowhere and wielder of one of the sharper editorial knives in the country, takes slices out of Tom Friedman's Sunday New York Times Magazine article on the global green movement in an essay that published on his site at kunstler.com and picked up by Alternet.org.
The money passage:
"Friedman goes on to tout Wal-Mart's mendacious campaign to "green" up its operations by, among other things, improving the mileage of its truck fleet from 6-mpg to 12-mpg. He writes:
Take Wal-Mart. The world's biggest retailer woke up several years ago, its CEO Lee Scott told me, and realized with regard to the environment its customers "had higher expectations for us than we had for ourselves." So Scott hired a sustainability expert, Jib Ellison, to tutor his company. The first lesson Ellison preached was that going green was a whole new way for Wal-Mart to cut costs and drive its profits.
"I've been to dozens of permitting battles over Wal-Mart in the planning boards of America, writing on suburban sprawl, and I can assure you that the the pro Wal-Mart factions in these fights uniformly couldn't give a f… about anything except saving five bucks on a plastic salad shooter ("we want bargain shopping!!!"). Not to put too fine a point on it, but these are precisely the members of the American public who sold their own local economies down the river, who led their towns into destitution, and who believe with all their hearts that it is possible to get something for nothing (which is why this large cohort of citizens spends so much of its meager income on lottery tickets, trips to Las Vegas, and gets suckered into ruinous "miracle" mortgages).

Jenkins v. Berryhill
United States District Court, E.D. Tennessee, Knoxville
ROBERT KEITH JENKINS, Plaintiff,
NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), Rule 73 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the consent of the parties [Doc. 26]. Now before the Court are Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and Memorandum in Support [Docs. 33 & 33-1] and Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment and Memorandum in Support [Docs. 34 & 35]. Robert Keith Jenkins ("Plaintiff") seeks judicial review of the decision of the Administrative Law Judge ("the ALJ"), the final decision of Defendant Nancy A. Berryhill ("the Commissioner"). For the reasons that follow, the Court will GRANT IN PART Plaintiff's motion and DENY the Commissioner's motion.
I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On May 30, 2013, Plaintiff filed an application for disability insurance benefits pursuant to Title II of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 401 et seq., claiming a period of disability that began on November 11, 2011. [Tr. 14, 140-41]. After his application was denied initially and upon reconsideration, Plaintiff requested a hearing before an ALJ. [Tr. 94-95]. A hearing was held on June 11, 2015. [Tr. 30-56]. On September 4, 2015, the ALJ found that Plaintiff was not disabled. [Tr. 14-23]. The Appeals Council denied Plaintiff's request for review on October 21, 2016 [Tr. 3-8], making the ALJ's decision the final decision of the Commissioner.
Having exhausted his administrative remedies, Plaintiff filed a Complaint with this Court on December 20, 2016, seeking judicial review of the Commissioner's final decision under Section 405(g) of the Social Security Act. [Doc. 1]. The parties have filed competing dispositive motions, and this matter is now ripe for adjudication.
II. ALJ FINDINGS
The ALJ made the following findings:
1. The claimant meets the insured status requirements of the Social Security Act through December 31, 2015.
2. The claimant has not engaged in substantial gainful activity since November 11, 2011, the alleged onset date (20 CFR 404.1571 et seq.).
3. The claimant has the following severe impairments: degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, neck disorder status post injury and fusion with associated upper extremity limitations, and diabetes mellitus (20 CFR 404.1520(c)).
4. The claimant does not have an impairment or combination of impairments that meets or medically equals the severity of one of the listed impairments in 20 CFR Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1 (20 CFR 404.1520(d), 404.1525, 404.1526).
5. After careful consideration of the entire record, the undersigned finds that the claimant has the residual functional capacity to perform light (to medium) work as defined in 20 CFR 404.1567(b). The claimant is unable to perform frequent pushing and pulling movements with arm or leg controls. The claimant is unable to climb and crawl. The claimant is limited to occasional overhead reaching.
6. The claimant is capable of performing past relevant work as a training development specialist. This work does not require the performance of work-related activities precluded by the claimant's residual functional capacity (20 CFR 404.1565).
7. The claimant has not been under a disability, as defined in the Social Security Act, from November 11, 2011, through the date of this decision (20 CFR 404.1520(g)).
[Tr. 16-22].
III. STANDARD OF REVIEW
When reviewing the Commissioner's determination of whether an individual is disabled pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), the Court is limited to determining whether the ALJ's decision was reached through application of the correct legal standards and in accordance with the procedure mandated by the regulations and rulings promulgated by the Commissioner, and whether the ALJ's findings are supported by substantial evidence. Blakley v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 581 F.3d 399, 405 (6th Cir. 2009) (citation omitted); Wilson v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 378 F.3d 541, 544 (6th Cir. 2004).
Substantial evidence is "more than a scintilla of evidence but less than a preponderance; it is such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Cutlip v. Sec'y of Health & Human Servs., 25 F.3d 284, 286 (6th Cir. 1994) (citations omitted). It is immaterial whether the record may also possess substantial evidence to support a different conclusion from that reached by the ALJ, or whether the reviewing judge may have decided the case differently. Crisp v. Sec'y of Health & Human Servs., 790 F.2d 450, 453 n.4 (6th Cir. 1986). The substantial evidence standard is intended to create a "'zone of choice' within which the Commissioner can act, without the fear of court interference." Buxton v. Halter, 246 F.3d 762, 773 (6th Cir. 2001) (quoting Mullen v. Bowen, 800 F.2d 535, 545 (6th Cir. 1986)). Therefore, the Court will not "try the case de novo, nor resolve conflicts in the evidence, nor decide questions of credibility." Garner v. Heckler, 745 F.2d 383, 387 (6th Cir. 1984) (citation omitted).
On review, the plaintiff "bears the burden of proving his entitlement to benefits." Boyes v. Sec'y. of Health & Human Servs., 46 F.3d 510, 512 (6th Cir. 1994) (citation omitted).
IV. DISABILITY ELIGIBILITY
"Disability" means an individual cannot "engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." 42 U.S.C. §§ 423(d)(1)(A) and 1382c(a)(3)(A). An individual will only be considered disabled:
if his physical or mental impairment or impairments are of such severity that he is not only unable to do his previous work but cannot, considering his age, education, and work experience, engage in any other kind of substantial gainful work which exists in the national economy, regardless of whether such work exists in the immediate area in which he lives, or whether a specific job vacancy exists for him, or whether he would be hired if he applied for work.
§§ 423(d)(2)(A) and 1382c(a)(3)(B).
Disability is evaluated pursuant to a five-step analysis summarized as follows:
1. If claimant is doing substantial gainful activity, he is not disabled.
2. If claimant is not doing substantial gainful activity, his impairment must be severe before he can be found to be disabled.
3. If claimant is not doing substantial gainful activity and is suffering from a severe impairment that has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of at least twelve months, and his impairment meets or equals a listed impairment, claimant is presumed disabled without further inquiry.
4. If claimant's impairment does not prevent him from doing his past relevant work, he is not disabled.
5. Even if claimant's impairment does prevent him from doing his past relevant work, if other work exists in the national economy that accommodates his residual functional capacity ("RFC") and vocational factors (age, education, skills, etc.), he is not disabled.
Walters v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 127 F.3d 525, 529 (6th Cir. 1997) (citing 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520). A claimant's residual functional capacity ("RFC") is assessed between steps three and four and is "based on all the relevant medical and other evidence in your case record." 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1520(a)(4) and -(e), 416.920(a)(4), -(e). An RFC is the most a claimant can do despite his limitations. §§ 404.1545(a)(1) and 416.945(a)(1).
The claimant bears the burden of proof at the first four steps. Walters, 127 F.3d at 529. The burden shifts to the Commissioner at step five. Id. At the fifth step, the Commissioner must prove that there is work available in the national economy that the claimant could perform. Her v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 203 F.3d 388, 391 (6th Cir. 1999) (citing Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. 137, 146 (1987)).
V. ANALYSIS
Plaintiff presents several challenges to the ALJ's finding that he was not disabled. First, Plaintiff asserts that the ALJ failed to properly analyze whether he met several Listings, including Listings 1.02, 1.03, 1.04, 11.08, 11.17, and 11.19. [Doc. 33-1 at 10-16]. Next, Plaintiff alleges that the ALJ failed to assign significant weight to his treating sources' opinions and to his testimony regarding his level of pain. [Id.at 1, 10, 16-18]. Lastly, Plaintiff claims that the ALJ failed to consider the limiting effects of several of his medical conditions as severe impairments. [Id. at 10]. The Court will address Plaintiff's specific allegations of error in turn.

A sermon no one can sleep through

Many of today's films seem to be made solely for financial reasons, but the case of "The Exorcist" is more complex than most. It was a tremendous financial success, the all-time box office champ for a while, but only a psychic could have predicted that people would line up to see a movie of this nature.

Cas9 based therapeutics have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. However, safe and effective methods for delivering Cas9 protein, gRNA and donor DNA need to be developed before the therapeutic potential of CRISPR based therapeutics can be realized. In this presentation, I will describe a non-viral Cas9 delivery vehicle, termed CRISPR-Gold, which can induce homology directed DNA repair (HDR) in vivo by directly delivering Cas9 protein, gRNA, and donor DNA. CRISPR-Gold is composed of gold nanoparticles assembled with the Cas9/gRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, donor DNA, and an endosomal disruptive polymer. We have been able to demonstrate that CRISPR-Gold can correct the DNA mutation that causes Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in mdx mice via HDR, with an efficiency of 5.4% after an intramuscular injection and with minimal levels off-target DNA damage. In addition, CRISPR-Gold was able to deliver Cas9 RNP into the brain, after an intracranial injection, and rescue mice from FMR1 related autism, via deletion of the mGluR5 gene via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). CRISPR-Gold is a non-viral delivery vehicle that can generate HDR and NHEJ in vivo and has potential for treating muscle and neurological diseases.

Americans On Disability Play An Increasingly Important Role In The Economy Audie Cornish talks with Chana Joffe-Walt of the Planet Money team about her series on federal disability benefits.
Every month, 14 million people now get a disability check from the government.
All this week, we've been exploring the dramatic growth in the country's disability rolls. There are now 14 million people receiving benefits from the federal government because their disabilities make it hard for them to work. The series has generated a huge response from listeners, and we wanted to spend a few minutes now at the end of the series to talk with a reporter behind the idea, Chana Joffe-Walt of our Planet Money team. Chana, welcome.
CORNISH: So for those of us who haven't heard all of the stories this week, give us the Cliff's Notes version. After six months of reporting, what did you find?
JOFFE-WALT: So basically, I found disability programs that are run by the government that are playing an increasingly important role in our economy and are growing very quickly. The number of workers on disability has been about doubling every 15 years, and the fund for disabled workers is expected to run out of money in 2016. That's pretty soon, although the expectation is that Congress is going to act before that happens. But regardless, big picture, these are big programs. Spending on these programs is in the range of a quarter trillion dollars a year, which I was just surprised by to learn the scale here because you rarely hear disability programs getting talked about.
CORNISH: Right. You talked about this in your stories, that essentially these 14 million people on disability are hidden in plain sight because the vast majority of them don't work and that most aren't counted in the unemployment numbers.
JOFFE-WALT: And it's by design that the vast majority of them don't work. The programs are supposed to be for people who can't do what's called substantial gainful activity. But I do want to clarify something here. The programs do allow people to work a small amount, but if you start working in any substantial way, you get kicked off the program.
And actually, a lot of the letters that we got from people responding to the stories were people saying, I'm one of those 14 million people on disability and I want to work. But I get health insurance on disability and what job am I going to find that accommodates my disability, it also gives me health insurance. And there were people who talked about wanting to try out working, maybe see if they could do it, but they're really scared to do that because if they do, they stand to lose this guaranteed source of income, which is a terrible trade-off for people to have to face.
CORNISH: And, Chana, I mean, how hard is it for people who are on this program if they go off of it to get back on?
JOFFE-WALT: Well, it's definitely not easy. It can be a long arduous process to apply for disability the first time, the second time. And this is part of the problem with the programs growing. As more and more people apply for disability, there's a growing backlog of applications. It can take two years to move through an appeal for a disability claim. You hear stories of people dying while they're waiting. And while you're waiting, for the most part you can't work, so you're not making income. And then in the end, of course, there's no guarantee that you will get back on the program.
CORNISH: Now, Chana, as you mentioned, we got a ton of mail about this, and some of it was angry, from folks who say that this program, they say, has kept me alive, kept me in my home, gets me health insurance, and they really are fearful about the scrutiny of the program, that that will mean it'll go away.
JOFFE-WALT: Yeah. I want to say there is no question these programs play a really important role in the lives of lots of people. People with disabilities have been marginalized forever. So scrutiny of a program that supports millions of people with disabilities is a sensitive area to go into. To me, the fact that these programs do support so many Americans and growing numbers of Americans makes it all the more important to actually look at them and say, what are they doing, how are they designed, are they functioning well, what role are they playing?
You know, we didn't set out to do a story about how these programs should be eliminated. We weren't, you know, in search of some sort of massive fraud nor did we find any massive fraud. What we found were programs that were growing really quickly. And to understand why so many people are turning to disability, you really have to look at the larger context, you know, the context of an economy that is changing in really fundamental ways and has been for decades to a point where, right now, the economic landscape is really dismal for millions of workers, especially low-skilled workers.
And so these programs have been answering for and to some extent sort of masking these big problems in our economy. And in the absence of some really serious conversation about what do we do about all these big issues facing us, the disability programs have become a sort of default answer in the mean time. And so, really, the idea behind these stories was just to help inform what, hopefully, will be a much bigger conversation about these big issues.
CORNISH: That's Chana Joffe-Walt of our Planet Money team. Chana, thank you so much for speaking with me.
CORNISH: And if you want to share your thoughts on the disability programs, the role they're playing in our current economy, you can go to npr.org/money.


While trying to work out why I didn't enjoy The Room 3 (TR3) as much as I enjoyed The Room (TR) or The Room 2 (TR2) I was reminded of 'The Doorway Effect'. It occurred to me that this might explain some of my issues.
To briefly explain: the doorway effect is when you move from one room to another to do something, and completely forget what you were going to do. The mere act of walking through a doorway causes your brain to lose some information and 'start afresh'.
It doesn't even have to be a real life doorway. This effect also occurred in tests within a video game.
Traditional 'adventure games' rely on puzzles spread through multiple location. A change from one location to another can be thought of as a change from one room to another. Games give you some kind of 'show me my inventory' command so you can always remember what you have on you. However, moving from one room to another might well cause you to forget where that heart shaped lock was – which is important when you find the heart shaped key.
Now, sticking with The Room examples: In TR, there was only one room. Everything happened around objects within that room, and you slid seamlessly from one bit to another. Everything was within those objects and you knew that.
TR2 expanded the idea to having more rooms, however – importantly – each room had its own self contained puzzles. Puzzles didn't stretch between rooms, only objects within each room.
TR3 then kept the 'multiple rooms' idea, but the puzzles could now straddle multiple of these rooms. There are even room within room puzzles. If going through a doorway has the potential to make you forget things, then the more rooms involved in a single puzzle, the more likely you are to be lost for a solution to a puzzle.
So, that's the hypothesis I'm working with at the moment: the Doorway Effect can change how a game plays. I'm not saying it breaks a game, though it does seem to dampen my enjoyment of TR3, but that it should at least be taken into account when designing or refining a game.

Jim Iyke Addresses Cyberbullying in Debut Movie Production 'Bad Comments'
The Abuja movie premiere of 'Bad Comments' held recently with a colourful and mind-blowing red carpet experience at Genesis Cinemas, Abuja.
The movie, which is Jim Iyke's debut as an executive producer, addresses the dangers of social media, especially cyberbullying.
It was directed by Moses Inwang and stars Jim Iyke himself, Ini Edo, Patience Ozokwor, Osas Ighodaro, Chiwetalu Agu, AY, Sharon Ooja to name a few, some of which were in attendance at the premiere. Other celebrities who graced the event include Young John, Josh2Funny, Nas Boy, Amazing Klef and ChuksDGeneral.
The exclusive screening tagged "An Evening With The Stars" was officially hosted by the Executive Governor of Kogi Stage, Yahaya Adoza Bello. The purpose of the premiere was to give fans, movie lovers and influencers an opportunity to view and critique the movie before it's availability at the box office.
The event didn't disappoint as the venue was flooded with movie lovers comprising Nollywood stars, media personalities, influencers, and fans. Fans who showed up late were made to rue their decision because within a short while tickets were sold out.
If not for COVID-19 adherence, the venue would have been similar to a political campaign ground. The size of the crowd was unexpected and the lines were long, leaving the organisers overwhelmed. Next time, using rope lines, multiple cashiers and additional volunteers outside the venue are to be considered to better control the crowd.
In fact, the turnout made a mockery of the venue, which was obviously too small to accommodate the over 500 people who showed up for the premiere as all the halls were filled to capacity. A selfless Jim Iyke had to watch the movie from the staircase of a screening hall.
Addressing the media, Iyke stressed that the social media space is a gift and a curse. While it presents opportunities for empowerment, it also creates avenues for tragedy and that people, especially youths, must begin to understand the social media space and act responsibly.
"It's kind of culturally cool to project hate on these platforms, abuse each other, demean people's values and self esteem. It's okay to call out people, body shame them, and people think you're cool. But cyberbullying is wrong and should be addressed and it takes a movie like this to change the narrative. It may take a while to sink in but eventually it will. "
He also disclosed that the movie which was shot over two months exceeded the 100 million naira mark in terms of its budget.
Having successfully premiered the movie in Lagos and Abuja, the Nollywood star also revealed plans to premiere the movie in Owerri, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Ghana, Amsterdam, London and Houston. So if you can, jump on the 'Bad Comments' train, it promises to be worthwhile.
Overall, the feedback received from the Abuja premiere was overwhelmingly positive, with 100 percent of participants commenting favourably about the movie.
The cast and 72 crew members from four countries certainly must be commended for delivering a serious message in a hilarious way. It won't be surprising to have a second instalment in the near future of this entertaining and educative movie.

Antiplatelet and antithrombotic treatment after transcatheter aortic valve implantation - comparison of regimes.
Poliacikova P1, Cockburn J, de Belder A, Trivedi U, Hildick-Smith D.
Sussex Cardiac Centre, Eastern Road, BN2 5BE, Brighton, United Kingdom. david.hildick-smith@bsuh.nhs.uk.
We compared procedural and follow-up complications of TAVI patients based on the type of antithrombotic treatment used (single-antiplatelet [SAPT] vs dual-antiplatelet [DAPT] vs warfarin).
Despite growing operator experience and device development, vascular complications following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remain problematic. Bleeding complications and stroke are two of the main disadvantages compared with surgical aortic valve replacement. Correct choice of antiplatelet or antithrombotic treatment is therefore crucial, but remains empirical.
We analyzed a cohort of 171 patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVI using the CoreValve (Medtronic, Inc) in our center between December 2007 and June 2012. We assessed both procedural, in-hospital, and follow-up outcomes for vascular complications, stroke, myocardial infarction, bleeding complications, and death.
Patients were aged 81.6 ± 6.4 years; 47% were male. Treatment regimes were DAPT (34%), SAPT (53%), or warfarin (13%). When analyzing the combined endpoint of all-cause death, acute coronary events, stroke, or bleeding, the outcome was significantly worse in the DAPT group (in-hospital P=.01, 30-day follow-up P=.02). This difference was driven mainly by bleeding complications, with a trend toward higher rates of major bleeding events in the DAPT group vs SAPT group (P=.07 for both in-hospital and 30-day bleeding). The occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events was statistically similar in all groups.
This relatively small series suggests that DAPT does not protect patients from stroke, but may expose them to higher bleeding risk. Further study of this area is warranted.

Q: No addOnNavigatedListener in Navigation Jetpack Actually, i want to handle event transition between different fragment with same toolbar. i found this answer. They using addOnNavigatedListener , but in my case i didn't find this interface. I only have addOnDestinationChangedListener which didn't trigger transition between fragment. I want something like this:
navController.addOnNavigatedListener { controller, destination ->
            when(destination.id){
                R.id.action_nav_home_to_nav_search -> {
                    println("HOME TO SEARCH")
                    Timber.d("HOME TO SEARCH")
                    card_search.visibility = View.GONE
                }
                else -> {
                    println("HOME KE LAIN")
                    card_search.visibility = View.VISIBLE
                }
            }
        }

i using this dependencies:
    implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:2.3.1'
    implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:2.3.1'

Anyone know what happened?

A: Thanks to @ ianhanniballake, addOnNavigatedListener renamed to addOnDestinationChangedListener and the id should be fragment id

I deliberated on where to post this. Here's hoping that the FBI checked in on legislators influencing DCH officials. I caught a snippet of something on WSB news this morning. The video below is from October. So, I'll post a new one if I can get it.
Sounds like there's more to come!
DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis has been indicted by a DeKalb grand jury today on charges he illegally pressured contractors into giving him campaign contributions.
The 15-count indictment includes 14 felonies. Among them, four counts of extortion, two counts of theft by taking and several conspiracy charges.
DeKalb District Attorney Robert James, in an afternoon news conference, said Ellis is charged with extortion and other felonies for soliciting campaign contributions under threat.
The indictment, as read by James, says Ellis extorted CIBER Inc., a vendor in DeKalb, by threating a local manager. It says Ellis threatened to tell CIBER's CEO that the local manager, Joanne Wise, delivered poor customer service if she did not agree to a campaign contribution. The indictment said Ellis acted similarly with other vendors and used DeKalb employees to draft lists of contractors doing business with DeKalb for the purpose of extorting them for campaign cash.
So many scoundrels. So little time. And this has to be just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for posting this, mefree.
Perhaps the FBI will wake from its slumber in Georgia and Florida in regard the corruption of officials by Scientology.
I keep hoping that one thing will lead to another, so to speak.
An update on Burrell Ellis and friends.
A special grand jury report documenting alleged corruption in DeKalb County is now public and Channel 2 investigative reporter Jodie Fleischer got her hands on the first copy.
The report identifies names, including indicted CEO Burrell Ellis, but it also recommends several key public officials for further criminal investigation.
Ellis' attorneys have been fighting the release of the report over the last seven months.
"It lays out many more alleged crimes than we saw in his criminal indictment," said Fleischer.
She says the report also suggests there may be many more public officials and private contractors in trouble.
Fleischer said the only recommendation for indictment is now-suspended CEO Burrell Ellis. The report accused him of not only shaking down vendors, for campaign contributions, but also directing the cancellation of contracts to steer business elsewhere as Channel 2 Action News first exposed.
The report also says he dictated which individuals should be placed on selection committees for key contracts, and interfered with their final recommendations.
The grand jurors also said former CEO Vernon Jones should be criminally investigated for possible indictment on bid rigging and theft allegations. In statement to Channel 2 Action News, Jones said he felt the "report appears to be a political preface statement as to who should have been elected to run county government and has no factual foundation or legal basis to recommend any criminal investigation against me."
More in the corruption category, this time involving a contracting official with the GA DOD.
A former contracting official with the Georgia Department of Defense has been indicted for allegedly awarding contracts in exchange for illegal kickbacks, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Thursday.
Raytosha Elliott, 33, of Atlanta, is accused of awarding numerous contracts to vendor companies created by her friends in exchange for 50 percent, U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said.

AI and satellite data used to build British air pollution map
Published Friday, November 20, 2020
Researchers from London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine have led a study using AI and remote-sensing satellite technologies to produce the most detailed nationwide map of air pollution.
The novel method offers an impressive level of detail, with daily measurements provided in a 1x1km grid across Britain. This could transform understanding of the health impacts of air pollution, by linking detailed exposure maps with health data.
Currently, scientists rely on ground-based monitors to measure air pollution. However, these monitors are sparsely located, mostly deployed in urban areas, and do not always take measurements continuously. This means that there are no nationwide air-pollution records accurate enough to be used by epidemiologists to evaluate health risks.
In this study, researchers combined readings from existing ground-based monitors and data from Earth-observation satellite instruments (which provide data on weather patterns, atmospheric aerosols, land use, and vegetation cover), and incorporated some data from other sources, such as population density, road density, and airport locations.
Using machine-learning algorithms, they combined these datasets to produce estimates of the ground-level concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5): one of the most dangerous air pollutants.
They divided Britain into a grid, and derived daily pollution series in the period 2008-2018. These results were cross-validated by comparing the estimates produced by the model to measurements taken from some ground-based monitors, and were found to be closely aligned.
"This research uses the power of artificial intelligence to advance environmental modelling and address public health challenges," said Dr Rochelle Schneider, first author of the Remote Sensing study. "This impressive air pollution dataset represents PM2.5 records for 4,018 days in a spatial domain of 234,429 grid cells."
"This provides a remarkable total of 950 million data points that comprehensively quantify the level of air pollution across the whole of Great Britain in an 11-year period."
The results indicate that the south-east of England is the most polluted region, and hot spots were identified in urban and industrial areas. The results also show an overall decline in air pollution in Britain during the past decade.
"This study demonstrates how cutting-edge techniques based on artificial intelligence and satellite technologies can benefit public health research," said Professor Antonio Gasparrini, senior author of the study. "The output reveals the shifting patterns of air pollution across Great Britain and in time with extraordinary detail.
"We now hope to use this information to better understand how pollution is affecting the nation's health, so we can take steps to minimise the risk. The vast amount of data produced will provide a vital tool for public health researchers investigating the effects of air pollution."
Next, the team will combine the data with local health records. This linked information will be used in epidemiological analyses to reveal a granular picture of the association between air pollution and health outcomes across the country.
The WHO estimates that there are approximately seven million deaths each year worldwide which can be attributed to air pollution. Air pollution is linked to an extremely wide range of health conditions, including lung disease, lung cancer, heart disease, strokes, and psychological conditions.

Sinialliku (Duits: Sineallik) is een plaats in de Estische provincie Viljandimaa, behorend tot de gemeente Viljandi vald. Ze heeft de status van dorp (Estisch: küla).

Tot in 2013 behoorde Sinialliku tot de gemeente Pärsti, die in dat jaar opging in Viljandi vald.

Bevolking
De ontwikkeling van het aantal inwoners blijkt uit het volgende staatje:

Ligging
Sinialliku betekent 'blauwe bron'. De bron waar de plaats naar genoemd is, ligt op het grondgebied van het buurdorp Intsu, maar wel dicht bij de grens met Sinialliku. De bron staat in verbinding met de beek Sinialliku oja. De grens tussen Sinialliku en de vlek Ramsi volgt min of meer de loop van de beek. De blauwe kleur van de bron is te danken aan een laag blauwe klei op de bodem. Aan de bron is een aantal legenden verbonden. Zo zou in de bron een pot met geld verborgen zijn. Wie de pot wil bemachtigen, moet een vrijwel onmogelijke daad verrichten.

De Sinialliku oja komt uit op de rivier Raudna. Die vormt de grens met het buurdorp Matapera. De beek Orika oja stroomt eerst langs de grens tussen de dorpen Sinialliku en Vardja, komt dan Sinialliku binnen en komt daar uit op de Raudna.

De Tugimaantee 49, de secundaire weg van Imavere via Viljandi naar Karksi-Nuia, komt door Sinialliku. Op de grens tussen Sinialliku en Vardja splitst de Tugimaantee 53, de (korte) weg tussen Matapera en Mäeltküla, zich van de Tugimaantee 49 af.

Aan de zuidwestkant van het dorp ligt het meer Sinialliku järv (6,2 ha). Het dorp ligt in het natuurreservaat Loodi looduspark (34,9 km²).

Geschiedenis
Bij Sinialliku zijn de resten van een fort van de Esten gevonden, dat gebouwd moet zijn in de tweede helft van de 11e eeuw. Het is niet bekend hoe lang het dienst gedaan heeft. In de jaren 1895–1897 werd een smalspoorlijn tussen Viljandi en Mõisaküla aangelegd. Daarbij werd een deel van het terrein van het fort vernield. In 1973 ging de spoorlijn dicht. In de tijd dat de spoorlijn in bedrijf was, had Sinialliku een station aan de lijn. Het was het eerste station na Viljandi.

Sinialliku werd voor het eerst genoemd in 1782 als Sinnialliko Andres, een boerderij op het landgoed dat viel onder het kasteel van Viljandi (Duits: Fellin-Schloß). Volgens het Baltisches historisches Ortslexikon stond het in 1797 onder de naam Sinni Allik bekend als dorp, maar het Dictionary of Estonian Place names noemt alleen een molen Siniallik. In elk geval was Sinialliku tot 1977 geen zelfstandig dorp. In dat jaar werd het gevormd uit delen van de buurdorpen Matapera en Vardja.

I really love these direct-read digital watches. This 70's variation is made by Caravelle and has that 70's blue dial many of us remember seeing back in the day. The clean chrome plated case with steel back measures 35.5mm. The manual winding Caravelle movement was cleaned and accurate. These watches are becoming very collectable these days.
