Sunday Sermonette: All the gold on the planet
Ch. 29 is the last of 1 Chronicles, although as we know in the Tanakh it ' s one book. The division in two was made by medieval Christian monks. It ' s a logical break point however, with the death of David. The Chronicler also provides references at the end: The Book of Samuel the Seer, The Book of Nathan the Seer, and The Book of Gad the Seer. It makes sense to conclude that the first is the Book of Samuel that we know from the Deuteronomistic history, since the Chronicler has lifted from it a few times. On the other hand, although the book is named for Samuel, he actually dies about 1/3 of the way through so he can ' t ...

What ’ s Happening In Your Stomach? – Gastric Alimetry Review
Conclusion
The Gastric Alimetry device is a first-of-a-kind solution, fully fitting all principles of digital health. It is making patients the point of care and it targets a niche area with massive demand. I am eager to see where Body Surface Gastric Mapping develops in the coming years.
The total time requirement of such a test is significant, patients need to dedicate a total of 10.5 hours to it. The discomfort of the prolonged process is tolerable, many gastric diagnostic methods are much more demanding. If you have chronic NVS and would like to find a way to detect its causes, it is well worth the effort.

The Republican Base
Donald Trump knows that he can ' t win an election if he alienates his neo-Nazi constituents. FromThe Guardian: Donald Trump repeatedly refused to disavow the outspoken antisemite and white supremacist Nick Fuentes after they spoke over dinner at his Mar-a-Lago resort, rejecting the advice from advisers over fears he might alienate a section of his base, two people familiar with the situation said. . . . Trump eschewed making outright disavowals of Fuentes, the people said, and none of the statements from the campaign or on his Truth Social account included criticism of Fuentes, despite efforts from advise...

How much “ pain ed ” do people need? And what to do when someone is not convinced …
This post has been a long time coming. There’s no doubt that giving explanations about pain mechanisms is common, and that we’ve (health professionals) been doing it a looooong time. Yes, way back to the 1970’s! In the early 1980’s when I started working in this field it was already commonplace to offer people an explanation for chronic pain (and to explain why some pains are such pains, while others bother us less – even when they involve the same degree of nociceptive input). Of course, way back then we used Gate Control Theory (GCT) to explain the distinction between hurt and harm, to explo...

Rise and Fall
As I believe I have mentioned, I am reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William Shirer. It ' s a cube of paper, and he spends a lot of pages on meticulous detail of large events, so it ' s a slog. I ' m about 1/3 of the way through. At this point Neville Chamberlain, who has a more than fair bid to be history ' s greatest fool, has gifted Czechoslovakia to Hitler in exchange for Hitler ' s assurance that he has no further territorial designs. The persecution of Germany ' s Jews is well advanced, with Jews having been barred from all professions, synagogues burned, businesses smashed, and property looted. Many ...

55 Liar Quotes and Lies Sayings to Help You Deal with Dishonesty
We have all lied.
Sometimes to save ourselves pain or punishment. Other times to save someone else pain and so we've told a white lie.
But when people in your life make lying a habit, when your relationship – romantic, friendship or maybe one at work – becomes infested with lies then the situation is different.
Then it may be time to have a frank talk with them. Or if that doesn’t work (or you’re way past that) to spend less time with that person. Or cut them out of your life entirely.
In this post I’d like to share the most helpful and powerful liar quotes and lies sayings.

The physician ’ s real problem isn ’ t burnout
I read an article recently suggesting that physicians were burned out from hearing about burnout. The proposed solution was to create systemic changes to help alleviate the burden of complexities of care that have polluted health care delivery. The solutions involved adding a team of individuals, including nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, pharmacy assistants, and other

One Person ’ s Trash …
BY KIM BELLARD
Gosh, so much going on. Elizabeth Holmes was finally sentenced. FTX collapsed. Big Tech is laying off workers at unprecedented rates, except TikTok, which should, indeed, be cautionary. Elon Musk’s master plan for Twitter remains opaque to most of us. Americans remain contentedly unworried about the looming COVID wave.
With all that to choose from, I want to talk about space debris. More specifically, finding opportunity in it, and in other “waste.” As the old saying goes, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, so one person’s problems ar...

Sunday Sermonette: Hit the snooze button again
Ch. 23 is just more of the Chronicler ' s obsession with lists of names, and religious orthodoxy. Specifically, he lists the Levites at the end of David ' s life, their ancestry and their duties. Why we should care about the names of these people who were long dead by the time Chronicles was compiled I have no idea. What is noteworthy,, however, is that the Chronicler completely omits the very bloody history of the succession recounted in Samuel and Kings. In addition to Solomon, there was another pretender to the throne who was actually briefly anointed king, and a deadly civil conflict before Solomon finally t...

Wednesday Bible Study: All the gold in Fort Knox
Chapter 22 is not derived in any way from the Deuteronomic history -- which is now at the beginning of the Book of Kings, in which David dies and Solomon becomes king. However, while in Kings David does designate Solomon to be us successor, there is none of this discussion about the Temple, or preparations for it. We only start to learn about the physical nature of the Temple when Solomon starts to build it, after David ' s death. The idea that God doesn ' t want David to build the Temple because he has shed too much blood seems quite hypocritical since God for the most part told him to do it, and supporte...

7 Signs That Say “Do Not Resuscitate”
It is a moment in time that you will certainly face at some point in your EMS career. Most of us will face this decision many times over throughout our tenure. Should I attempt resuscitation?
The question may be complicated by family, friends or bystanders who have, in good faith, started CPR prior to your arrival and fully anticipate that you will continue. Or perhaps other members of emergency services arrived before you and declared the patient not workable. They may advise you of their findings, without much further detail. “This guys dead.”
Often, responders who aren’t responsible for documentin...

EMS Response To Sexual Assault
The EMT Spot would like to welcome Jimmy Futrelle to our guest post roster. Jimmy s a Paramedic hailing from Scurry County Texas. Jimmy has been responding on calls long enough to remember the Lifepack 5 and using D50 as a diagnostic tool.
His unique background working for private and public EMS as well as for local law enforcement makes him uniquely qualified to teach on the subject of sexual assault.
This detailed guide to responding to these challenging calls is well worth reading. I sincerely thank him for this contribution.
