Wednesday Bible Study: My apologies
This endless yammering is totally frosting my pumpkin. I ' m not sure what to do about it, however, because these chapters are long and it seems like an awful lot to do two of them at once. But what the hell, we have to get this over with. In Ch. 15, Eliphaz castigates Job for complaining to God, basically, and just says, as MacLeish translates it, " In Adam ' s fall we sinned all/We ' re like the flies the creep and crawl/Across the dusty windowpanes, " IIRC, or something like that. In Ch. 16, Job essentially adds the would-be comforters to his afflictions, which is fair enough. What Job doesn ' t know, however, is that t...

Eleven Madison Park Granola
They don’t offer this granola on the menu at Eleven Madison Park, New York’s award-winning, 3-star restaurant serving only plant-based food, with a tasting menu that will run you $365 a pop. Instead, all diners get a jar of the granola as a parting gift at the end of their meal, to serve at tomorrow morning’s breakfast. It’s actually a nice touch…
The restaurant wasn’t always vegan, and not everyone was happy when chef Daniel Humm decided to eschew all but plant-based foods when he re-opened the place in 2021 after a Covid hiatus. Although Eleven Madison was once purported to have a ...

6 Techniques To Nail The IV Every Time
Did you get the IV?
Sometimes it seems like your performance on the whole call can be reduced to the success or failure of the IV start. Rarely does the successful treatment of the patient hinge on a successful IV placement but sometimes it can certainly feel that way.
The best way to ensure that you’re ready when that make or break it IV start does come your way is to start a lot of them when the pressure is not on. If you wait until game day to practice, you’re a whole lot more likely to fail.
The single biggest factor that separates the IV virtuoso from the weekend hacker is practice and experience, so when...

Monarchy
Our recent focus on obsessive interest in the royal lineage of Judah happens to coincide with what appears to be growing likelihood that there willsoon be a succession to the crown of the United Kingdom. The link is to discussion by Paul Campos, but I ' ll give you mine.The question arises as to why hereditary monarchy became the predominant form of the state from the neolithic until the 18th Century, and still persists in a few nations -- many of the Arab states, in particular. It has also been recreated in the ironically named Democratic People ' s Republic of Korea. Of course the British monarchy is now largely symbolic...

Medical report
So, I had a breakthrough Covid infection, which really frosts my pumpkin because I ' ve had four shots, the most recent less than a month ago. Presumably I was exposed on the trip somehow. I was particularly miserable because the first symptom I got was myalgia in my right pectoral, which means it hurts ever time I cough. Not so much today, I ' m feeling better, and the worst of it only lasted about 36 hours, so believe me, vaccination is worth it. But it won ' t prevent infection entirely.That mean I was in no condition to post yesterday, so I ' ll try to make it up with another later today. In the meantime, take it from ...

We interrupt this symposium
I ' ll get back to the global syndemic shortly, but first I really need to talk about something that really frosts my pumpkin. This happens a lot but yesterday I saw a really egregious example. They go to to interview the winning quarterback after a football game, and he interrupts the interviewer while the guy is trying to ask a question and says " I give all the credit to my lord and savior Jesus Christ, to him be all the glory. " The idea that Jesus caused this ridiculous clown to win a football game is obviously a gross insult to Christians everywhere, or they certainly ought to take it that way. On the contrary, ...

Testing gravity during Ladder Season
The transition from pumpkin spice to gingerbread lattes may conjure warm, cozy holiday feelings for some, but for those of us who treat trauma patients, it signals the beginning of Ladder Season.

Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo . . .
Take a walk on the wild side withJust Security ' s litigation tracker. It seems the Great Pumpkin is facing 10 civil suits and 4 criminal investigations. That ' s not counting at least two other criminal investigations that could ultimately lead to him. The Manhattan DA and NY Attorney General investigations have apparently merged in some respects, but it is likely they retain some separate elements. I should say that the Manhattan DA ' s investigation has been publicly said to target the Trump organization, and what specific individuals or entities might be presented for indictment to the grand jury has not been stated.It...

Diet, disease, and the microbiome
There is growing interest in the human body’s microbiome and its connection to chronic disease. A new study examines that connection, along with how the foods we eat influence the composition of our microbiome.
Microbiome protects host and plays role in disease risk
The microbiome consists of the genes of tiny organisms (bacteria, viruses, and other microbes) found in the gastrointestinal tract, primarily in the small and large intestine. The normal gut flora — another term for the microbiome — protects its human host. For the microbiome to flourish, the right balance must exist, with the healthy species dominating t...

6 Ways to Make Your Diet More Sustainable in 2021
We’ve just had the warmest decade on record, with 2020 being one of the warmest years ever. Unfortunately, there is no indication that climate change will slow down in the next decade.
We are all in the same boat here, and it’s in our hands to stop it from sinking. And it all starts with food, production of which accounts for one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
The good news is that it's not only up to governments and large producers to help reduce global warming. Each of us can do something to support the environment - and human health along with it.

A puzzling phenomenon
For well over a year now -- maybe two years -- I ' ve been getting three or four robocalls on my cell phone every day, from the Ronald T. Dump for president campaign up until November 4, and now from the Committee to Establish a Fascist Dictatorship. Obviously I never answer these calls and they go to my voicemail, where I am forced to erase them. About half the time the voice is the harsh, grating, overloud spew of the Great Pumpkin itself, the other half someone speaking for it. These come from various spoofed numbers, the vast majority from area codes where I don ' t know anybody, although occasionally they spoof a...

2 easy, affordable, plant-centered dinners
Plant-based diets have taken root in American culture in recent years, mostly thanks to the growing realization about the health benefits of this eating pattern. But contrary to what some people think, plant-based doesn’t necessarily mean you must forego all animal products. Rather, you might just eat meat or dairy products less frequently, or in smaller portions. To replace those lost calories, you should eat more beans and legumes, vegetables, whole grains, and fruits. These mostly low-fat, nutrient-rich foods have been linked to improvements in many health-related issues, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and h...
