Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup
I’m often asked to recommend recipes for Thanksgiving, so here’s a few suggestions for you all.
I’ve never actually cooked a turkey, so this will just be sides and desserts. To be honest, that’s pretty much are all I care to eat at Thanksgiving dinner anyway.
Noticeably missing from this list are recipes for cranberry sauce (I use the one on the cranberry bag – no need to mess with perfection), mashed potatoes (there is no recipe, it’s instinctual if you’re Patsy’s daughter), and stuffing (I’ve never made it, that gets assigned to someone else).
Hope the...

Sometimes even ST Elevation meeting criteria is not enough to be convincing
Written by Emre Aslanger. Emre is a new Editor of the Blog. He is an interventionalist in Turkey.A 50 something-year-old man with a history of newly diagnosed hypertension and diabetes, for which he did not take any medication, presented a non-PCI-capable center with a vague, but central chest pain. His vitals were normal and his first ECG was as shown below:There is obvious ST segment elevation (STE) in anterior leads. STE in lead I and II are more subtle. The presence of J notch in V6 might have deceived the physician into thinking of early repolarization, but this can also be seen in anterior OMI. Note that ...

Activity is good. Exercise is better.
An excerpt from Man Overboard!: A Medical Lifeline for the Aging Male. OK, you don’t consider yourself an exerciser. It’s just not you. You hate running.

Common-as-muck Buzzards
When you get wind of something unusual in the birding world, the temptation is often to head for the site as quickly as possible binoculars slung around your neck and camera in the rucksack on your back. It’s often not the best strategy, birds fly and even if you think you’re being quick off the mark, often the update you saw may be out of date within minutes or hours of it being posted.
So, when I heard there was a large number of Common Buzzard* (Buteo buteo) gathered in a field not 20 minutes’ drive from home, I didn’t jump into the car and slam the pedal to the metal. I waiting until the next u...

How Common Has Private Currency Been?
Lawrence H. WhiteRecently, an investment advisor and Bitcoin proponenttweeted the claim that “[f]or most of human history” the “[s]eparation of money and state was the norm, even if the state stamped their ruler’s face on the coin.” Some strong disagreement (and some strong support) followed the tweet. The mostcategorical criticism asserted: “Money is and always has been a creation of government. ” A somewhat milder challenge asserted that “Private moneys have seldom been main media of exchange.”First, let ’s clarify the object of the discussion. If we define “money” the way that economist...

Countries With Higher Interest Rates Have Higher Inflation
Alan ReynoldsA recent headline exclaimed: “Central Banks Should Raise Rates Sharply or Risk High‐Inflation Era,BIS Warns. ” The Bank for International Settlements is owned by 61 central banks, so they should know better than to equate higher interest rates with lower inflation.Countries with the lowestcentral bank interest rates (below zero) include Switzerland and Japan, according tothe BIS.Those with the highest policy rates include Argentina and Turkey, with rates of 49% and 14% respectively.Should we conclude that Argentina and Turkey are valiantly fighting inflation with high interest rates while Switzerland ...

A “No” To Mandatory Voting
Walter OlsonAustralia andsome other countries make voting compulsory by law, a perennial ideare ‐floated two years ago in this country by a working group convened by the Brookings Institution and the Harvard Kennedy School ’s Ash Center and now by E.J. Dionne Jr. of Brookings and Miles Rapoport of the Ash Centerin a book. But as I argue in a newpiece in theNew York Post as well as a newCato podcast, the right answer remains “no way.”The Brookings/ Ash Center group — which deserves due credit for honesty on this point — acknowledges that when they polled about the idea, they f...

The Future Of Vision And Eye Care
3D printed digital contact lenses, bionic eye implants, augmented reality: the future of vision and eye care is full of science fiction-sounding innovations. Here is where digital health will take ophthalmology in the future!
More than 80 percent of perception comes through vision
Researchers estimate that 80-85 percent of our perception, learning, cognition, and activities are mediated through vision. Compared to that, our hearing only processes 11 percent of information, while smell 3.5 percent, touch 1.5 percent and taste 1 percent. Don’t you think that’s possible? Renowned scholars, L.D. Ros...

Commerce Continues to Gas Up Duties
Gabriella Beaumont-SmithPresident Biden and others in Washington areimploring U.S.-based oil and gas companies to increase drilling and production to help temperrising energy prices. The administration even tried enticing these companies byresuming plans for oil and gas development on federal lands. But many of the largest firms are refusing to start new projects on the grounds that they cannot achieve a sustainable return on potential investments. One important factor in these investment decisions is production costs, which can make the difference for a project’s viability and are rising in the current inflationary e...

Sunday Sermonette: International Trade
The visit of the Queen of Sheba is well known and no doubt features in the Bible stories for children genre. However, the legends that have grown up around her in the Jewish, Christian and Moslem traditions are all built from very sparse material. In this telling, we never learn her name, where the heck Sheba is, or what any of the profound wisdom was with which Solomon dazzled her. Not that it particularly matters, but scholars believe that Sheba may be based on Saba, a people of the southern Arabian peninsula. It is interesting that Solomon, along with the narrator, take the idea of a polity ruled by a woman completely i...

The Iron(y) in Steel Protectionism
Scott Lincicome andGabriella Beaumont-SmithIn the midst of highinflation, the federal government continues to build on bad policies for the U.S. housing market. Instead of addressing current rules creating an inflexible environment for building houses, the government imposed new duties on steel nails, a crucial component for home construction. These duties will increase the cost of construction, further contributing to scarce housing and higher home prices.Last month, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) predictablydetermined that the U.S. nail industry has been injured by “dumped” and “subsidi...
