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...

Lessons I Learned From My First Cardiac Arrest
It strange to think that it’s been almost 20 years since the first time I did CPR. I still remember it so vividly. How the time flies.
I was fortunate to have good mentors and teachers in my early days in EMS. One of them was Phil Rigardo. As an EMT student, Phil had invited me to come do a few ride-along’s with him. I owe a lot to Phil. He was one of the first major influences I had in EMS and he framed the job in a fun and exciting way. I’ve managed to carry that initial frame (EMS is fun) for most of my career.
I had been riding with Phil for a few shifts when we got dispatched to a cardiac arrest....

And you thought Mastadons were extinct …
by KIM BELLARD
Until last week, for me, “mastodon” only meant the giant animal that went extinct several thousand years ago (I was, it appears, unaware of the heavy metal band Mastodon). Now, as the result of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, many Twitter users are being forced to take a look at alternatives, such as the social networking site Mastodon.
It’s possible that we are about the witness the Myspace-ization of Twitter, brought down by competition, bad management, and bad product decisions. In my usual “there must be a pony in here somewhere” fashion, there may be some lessons in the Twitter saga ...

Sparking Rural Students ’ Interest in STEM
When asked why he leads the NIGMS-supported Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) program at Dartmouth College in Hannover, New Hampshire, Roger D. Sloboda, Ph.D., the Ira Allen Eastman Professor of Biological Sciences (emeritus), shares a story. Several years ago, he learned of a public-school science teacher in rural New Hampshire who had a very limited budget for classroom equipment. With her annual budget, she’d been able to buy a single stainless-steel laboratory cart. “Next year, I hope to buy a piece of equipment to put on it,” she said. A short time later, Dr. Sloboda attended a scientific meeting and ta...

Promises Made – Promises Kept: President Biden’s Support for “Obamacare.”
BY MIKE MAGEE
As the saying goes, “History repeats!” This is especially true where politics are involved.
Consider for example the past three decades in health care. It is striking how many of the players in our nation’s health policy drama remain front and center. And that includes President Biden who recently commented on the 12th anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare):
“The ACA delivered quality, affordable health coverage to more than 30 million Americans — giving families the freedom and confidence to pursue their dreams without the fear that one accident or il...

Advancing American Indian and Alaska Native Health Through Research, Training, and Engagement
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations have long experienced health disparities such as higher rates of diabetes, certain cancers, and mental health conditions than those of other Americans. One contributing factor in these disparities is underrepresentation of AI/AN populations in biomedical science—as study participants, researchers, and health professionals. Unfamiliarity with health care options and opportunities, coupled with a distrust of biomedical research resulting from unethical studies in the past, have exacerbated this underrepresentation.
NIGMS-supported researchers, including Native scient...

Alex Zhavoronkov's Longevity Pledge
Alex Zhavoronkov founded one of the earlier companies in the now growing longevity industry, In Silico Medicine. There is a cycle in every industry, in which founders of successful companies tend to invest a fraction of their gains in new startups, either directly or via industry-focused funds, and act as philanthropists in support of relevant academic research. This reinforces and accelerates growth. The early longevity industry contains a good number of zealots willing to do more than invest only a fraction of their wealth. Thinking a great deal about health, aging, mortality, and medicine tends to focus the mind on what...

Submersion Vibes and Intentions
In my previous post, I invited people to enroll in the new Submersion course deep dive on Subjective Reality, which is the perspective that you could be living in a simulation or dream world of some kind. So far 211 people have signed up, which is awesome! I expect that many more will join by the deadline on Thursday, November 3rd.
In this post I’ll share more about the intentions and vibes that I imagine for this 60-day group experience.
Instead of using only words, I’m going to communicate this in a very visual way – with lots of imagery that I created with the help of machine intelligence, Pixelmator...

The First Amendment Protects the Right to Parody the Government
Thomas A. Berry andNicholas DeBenedettoIn May of 2016, Anthony Novak of Parma, Ohio, spent four days in jail for making fun of his local police department. The cause of this unfortunate encounter with law enforcement was his decision to engage in the longstanding American tradition of political parody by creating a spoof Facebook account of his local police department.In order to make his parody work, Novak needed to make the page look convincing at first glance, so he copied the name and profile picture of the official Facebook account of the City of Parma Police Department. Although a quick look might have been...

The Supreme Court Should Protect Online Editorial Rights
Thomas A. BerryIn May of last year, Florida enacted a law imposing severe restrictions on the editorial freedom of large social media platforms, ostensibly in an effort to stop “censorship” of conservative viewpoints. The law imposes both content moderation restrictions and transparency requirements. The content moderation restrictions require platforms to host and display any and all posts by registered political candidates and “journalistic enterprises,” ban plat forms from changing how they moderate more than once every thirty days, and allow platforms to be sued for up to $100,000 for each post they modera...
