Digging a Hole: The Legal Theory Podcast

Welcome back, dear listeners, to season nine of Digging a Hole! We're just as surprised as you are that we haven't been taken off the air yet, but we're here and ready to keep producing hit after hit— at least while Yale Law School keeps funding us, anyway. After a summer of roller-coaster legal and political action, we're ready to help you navigate the turbulent times ahead. But before we get to current events, it's worth dwelling on history. And today we're excited to have on the pod our colleague Jack Balkin, Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School, to discuss his new book, sure to be a classic in constitutional theory, Memory and Authority: The Uses of History in Constitutional Interpretation. To start off, Sam engages Balkin over the question of why, under the latter's taxonomy, history isn't a unique modality of constitutional interpretation. Next, Balkin explains what constitutional lawyers do, what makes their argumentative tools unique, and the relationship between history, memory, and the rhetoric of law. We dive into (what else?) originalism, both as an academic discipline with fancy conferences in San Diego and as a political ideology that reigns supreme in the courts (at least in cafeteria-form). If we haven't piqued your interest, this episode features for the first time on the pod, according to our memory but perhaps not our history, one Mr. Hegel. Strap in and enjoy.

In this program, we compare dreaming and improvisation focusing on creative synergies, experiential similarities, and the underlying neurophysiology. These states of mind are mutually illuminating. That is, learning about one provides insights into the other. A key insight here is that we can deepen our understanding of improvisation by exploring other states of mind that have overlapping experiential qualities or brain states. In his book Dreams of Awakening, Charlie Morley writes that “…there are many different ways to tell the difference between [different states of experience], but the easiest way to get to grips with these differences is to spend as much time as we can in these states.” I propose that this is the case for improvisation, as well. By paying more attention to our dreaming experiences, we may deepen our knowledge of the experience of improvisation.

What is the experience of improvisation and what are its neurobiological correlates? One way to flesh out an answer, or at least to get the lay of the land, so to speak, is to look at how improvisation compares with other kinds of brain states and states of experience that have been explored with science, such as dreaming and psychedelics. That's what we're embarking upon here. In this video, you are going to discover that there are some quite interesting relationships between what's happening in the brain during improvisation and what happens to the brain under the influence of dreaming and classical psychedelics.

Schneider, MD and Endovascular Skills - history, personal techniques and updates in the 4th Edition Closure devices:  Angioseal Mynx Proglide Endovascular procedures are minimally invasive techniques used to treat conditions affecting blood vessels, such as aneurysms, stenosis, or occlusions, by accessing the affected vessels through an incision in a peripheral artery and using imaging guidance to navigate catheters and devices through the blood vessels to the treatment site.  Endovascular procedures can be broken down into 4 key steps Establishing arterial access Navigating to target treatment zone or vessel Treating the lesion Closure Basic definition of wire, sheaths, and catheters Wires are thin, flexible metal devices used to navigate through blood vessels and to guide other devices, such as catheters or sheaths, to the target location. They are measured in thousands of an inch A 0.018 wire is 0.018 inch in diameter There are two categories of wires: Flexible and support Flexible wires are soft and hydrophilic. They are considered the “workhorses” because they are useful for navigating through vessels. A common type of wire is called the Glidewire which is  slippery and useful in traveling across tortuous vascular anatomy. Support wire are generally a lot stiffer and not hydrophilic. For that reason they are used to deliver and deploy devices A common type of support wire is called the Lunderquist which is used for the deployment of stent grafts in endovascular aortic repair Catheters are flexible hollow tubes used in conjunction with wires to navigate vascular anatomy Various characteristics include the degree and shape of the taper, the lengths, and the stiffness. They are inserted inside the sheath  Sheaths are hollow tubes of various diameters that are inserted into a blood vessel to provide a pathway for catheters or wires.  They have a one way valve to prevent backflow of arterial blood and a side port that permits aspiration and administration of fluids.  They also come with a dedicated dilator which is used to fill the lumen of the sheath and allows the surgeon to insert the sheath safely into the vessel.  If the wire is the rail and the catheter is the train, the sheath is the ground. Sheaths and catheters sizing Both are measured in French 1 French equals 0.33 mm. French size divided by 3 equals the approximate diameter in millimeters.  Another way to think about Fr is roughly the circumference in mm. Divide by 3 instead of 3.14 to get the diameter Sheaths are defined by their inner diameter (ID) Catheters are defined by their outer diameter (OD) This is because catheters go inside the sheath, so the size of a catheter must be smaller or equal to the size of the sheath for it to fit inside.For example, a 5 Fr sheath can accommodate 5 Fr catheter/devices Of note, the hole in the artery will roughly be 2-4Fr larger than the sheath size. This is important when considering the type of closure that will be used at the end of the procedure.  Step One: Establishing Arterial Access Preop preparation:  During physical exam, make sure there's a palpable femoral pulse to rule out iliofemoral disease Review the CT if available for high femoral bifurcation or presence of vessel disease  Patient positioning on the angio table, depends on the access site of choice. Typical position (for retrograde femoral artery access) is supine, arms tucked.   Alternative access sites (ie. radial, brachial, carotid) may require arms to be out and prepped.   How do you choose arterial access, location? Depends on location of lesion you are trying to treat and complexity of the path from the access site Size of the access vessel and device size must be considered when deciding on the access site The most common is retrograde femoral artery access When would other access points be used? Radial artery, brachial, antegrade femoral access. The goal, target location, and path complexity defines the access point. Arterial puncture Femoral access: Look for pulsatile vessel on the US (vein is medial, artery is lateral; “venous penis”) Usually access at the level of femoral head for common femoral artery Seldinger technique is  used to establish access to a vessel or cavity using needle, wire, catheters, and sheath. E.g. using the micropuncture kit: contralateral arterial CFA access with s 21 gauge needle .018” guidewire is passed through the needle Needle is removed and a short 4 or 5 Fr microcatheter with an inner dilator is passed over the guidewire The dilator and guidewire are removed leaving the catheter in place to maintain access Bigger wire is inserted through the catheter, which is then removed over the wire A sheath is inserted over the wire The overall purpose is to start with smaller arterial puncture and exchange to larger size to minimize complication should the access fail Often, percutaneous closure devices are preloaded at this step.  We will discuss this later.   Step Two:  Navigating to treatment zone or vessel With sheath in place, a guidewire is inserted into the vessel under fluoroscopic guidance. Continuous fluoroscopy is taken with the C-arm during key steps to visualize wire movement The C-arm can be portable or built into the room X rays are emitted from the X-ray generator below the patient And the subsequent image is generated from the image intensifier above the patient Radiation safety:  wear protective gear which is made of lead. In addition, use the tableside lead shield whenever possible minimize use of continuous fluoroscopy whenever possible limit use of magnification, and digital subtraction angiography keep the image intensifier as close to the patient as possible to minimize scattering The C-arm can rotate around the patient to get optimal viewing of the vessels Frequently used terminology: 30 degrees RAO which stands for right anterior oblique, describing the  relationship of image intensifier to the patient Common projections used for lower extremity angiograms Iliacs: 20-30 degrees contralateral anterior oblique Femoralsl: 20-30 degrees ipsilateral anterior oblique Trifurcation and tibials: anatomic anterior-posterior or 20 degrees ipsilateral anterior oblique with feet in neutral supine position Thoracic aorta/distal aortic arch: 30~45 degree LAO Renals: AP maximizing image quality by limiting patient movement and with breath holding and collimating Contrast  Two types of contrasts: Iodinated contrast vs carbon dioxide Iodinated contrast has better resolution but patients can have allergic reactions and are at risk of contrast induced renal injury. Therefore, CO2 is preferred for patients with compromised renal function in which an image is created by transiently displacing blood. The downside is that it has lower image resolution than iodinated contrast, and rare but potentially serious complications of air locking.  Power injection vs manual injection When using power injection, you have control over pressure, the amount of contrast, timing, and rate or rise of injection. It allows for rapid filling of large arteries at high flow rates. Manual injection is more efficient for small vessels since you can control dilution and volume Types of Wires Characteristics: wire tip, stiffness, diameter, and length Guide wires To assist in catheter placement, navigate different arteries, cross lesions, and deliver devices.  The most common sizes used in vascular surgery  Large .035” - generally used for the aorta and iliac. Small .014”/.018” - used for smaller branches like the SFA Length: from 120 to 360cm Based on distance from access site to the lesion Long enough to reach target lesions and beyond (inside pt) and deliver catheters (outside pt) but not too long that it's falling off the table and slowing down exchange Flexible vs stiff/support wires How do you decide which wire to use? Typically, you start with flexible wire inside an angle tip catheter to navigate to the target vessel.  Once you reached and crossed the target vessel, the wire is exchanged to a stiff/support wire, which allows you to deliver common brands and models used that every medical student should know and the settings they are used in? Example answer: Glidewire (Tumero): a floppy wire with a  hydrophilic coating which is useful for navigating stenosis and tortuous vessels and is used in a variety of different vessels. Lunderquist (Cook): it is very stiff and used for endovascular repairs of AAAs Rosen wire: support wire with a J tip with intermediate stiffness. Less stiff than Lunderquist. Used to catheterize visceral and renal arteries. Bentson: starter wire, that's short in length with a very long floppy tip that prevents vessel trauma. Types of Catheters  Main purpose of the catheters Allows to approach the target vessel based on the shape of the catheter Allows wire exchange from flexible to stiff Sizes are based on Fr (4-5) 5 Fr are the most common. Microcatheters are for embolizations (2.5Fr) Nonselective (Angiographic catheter) Common types are omni flush, pigtail, and straight They have multiple side holes along the tip so they can inject high volume of contrast into large blood vessels like the aorta Selective catheters/Guide (shape) catheters Have an end hole only with no side holes so they can cannulate specific branch vessels A variety of lengths and shapes depending on the curvature and tortuosity of the pathway to the target vessel. Catheter with specific shapes can align your vector (the force you are exerting by pushing the wire forward at the access site) to the stenotic lesion. Type of catheter that can be used to cross to the contralateral side at the aortic bifurcation – generally the omni.  Types of sheaths Size range: 4-26Fr (larger available for endografts) Size is decided by the device you have to deliver to the target lesion Length is based on the support required from the procedure. The distance from the access site to the target site determines the length of the sheath required.  Common lengths range from 5 to 110cm What are some of the common sheaths used and for which procedure? For endovascular aortic repairs, Dryseal sheaths range from 12Fr ~ 26Fr with lengths of 33cm to 65cm. For visceral and renal artery intervention, Ansil or Raabi sheaths range from 5Fr to 9Fr, with lengths of 45cm to 90cm. For lower extermity work, Ansil, Raabi, Balkin sheaths ranging from 4Fr to 7Fr with lengths of 45cm to 110cm. Steerable sheaths can actively articulate the shape of the sheath, allow you to navigate and treat more challenging anatomy. Step Three: Treating the lesion The lesion has to be crossed with wire and catheters before treating the lesion. They may require the need to exchange sheath Stent and balloon sizing is measured by diameter in millimeters x length in centimeters Balloons Generally need to exchange wire to stiff support wire through the catheter, then the catheter is exchanged over the wire with the balloon mounted catheter Balloons have a wide variety of diameters and lengths Nominal vs Burst pressures Nominal: pressure is where the balloon will inflate to the labeled diameter Burst: pressure where 99.9% of tested balloons ruptured Typically you inflate to nominal but can go higher depending on the type of lesion Compliant balloon vs a semi-compliant vs non-compliant balloon Most of the time, we use a compliant balloon, but in certain situations where we need high pressure dilation, we use non-compliant balloon.  This has to do with the nature of the lesion and risk of vessel rupture.

School must go on
“There is no huge support from the governments” – about Optima School with Yuriy Balkin

School must go on

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 11, 2023 33:46


(The English interview starts at 3:10) According to current statistics, each German high school has enrolled between 10 and 30 Ukrainian students. Many principals have done this without additional staff and have often exceeded the maximum class sizes allowed by law. This raises the question of how well or poorly Ukrainian students are able to follow the lessons when they speak little German and are forced by German school law to be present in the German school. At the beginning of the war and the wave of refugees, Optima School tried to offer supplementary lessons for Ukrainian students. With live lessons and on-demand learning content in Ukrainian. In the morning, Ukrainian children could have learned at the German school and in the afternoon, they could have consolidated content in their own language or learned Ukraine-specific topics such as history, geography and social studies. Unfortunately, there was no longer much talk about the Optima School in Germany, which Stephan took as the occasion to talk to Yuriy Balkin. Yuriy is Chief Strategy Officer of Optima Education Group which operates Optima School, the first and the largest Ukrainian K-12 distance learning school. – No state funding in Germany – As Yuriy explains in this episode of “School must go on” Optima has been running reliably for years and is easily scalable. Optima School is in the same situation as many EdTechs in the education sector: There is no state funding, because stakeholders such as the ministry of education do not want to support "for-profit" companies, even in times of acute crisis. This is also how the documentation of the rejection of cooperation between KMK and Optima can be read: No interest in cooperating with companies with the excuse that it is not that easy to procure. Instead, the SAP Foundation and the Bosch Foundation stepped in and helped more than 100,000 Ukrainian students gain access to the Optima platform at short notice. Yuri Balkin also talks about the background and concept of Optima School and how they are currently trying to continue to provide education to as many Ukrainian children as possible, regardless of location, economic circumstances, and government support.

In The Cycles of Constitutional Time, Jack Balkin takes an overarching look at the dynamics of constitutional government over the history of the United States. To understand what is happening today, he argues, “we have to think in terms of political cycles that interact with each other and create remarkable — and dark — times.” Single-term presidents, Balkin notes, often coincide with the ends of these cycles, moments where an existing approach to political life has run its course. Since Reagan's ascendency in 1980, Balkin contends, the dominating approach has been characterized by a lack of trust in politicians and big government. But, he suggests, the single-term presidency of Donald Trump could be another iteration in the pattern, and we may be moving towards a more progressive era. Balkin is the founder and director of Yale's Information Society Project, an interdisciplinary center that studies law and new information technologies. He recently spoke with Governing Editor-at-Large Clay Jenkinson.

Our relationships enrich our lives. Strong bonds with family, friends, and colleagues make our lives full and vibrant, but they can also be a source of distress or even trauma. Few relationships are perfect, and we often find ourselves let down by even the people we count on most; learning to navigate the challenges is vital to protecting our health and wellbeing. In this book the author presents a model for forgiveness that addresses how we either repair relationships when someone has harmed us, or how we move forward when relationships are beyond repair. Repairing a relationship is not always practical. The model presented in this book can be helpful to promote self-healing and to either re-establish relationships with others or move forward when reconciliation is harmful or not possible. Practicing Forgiveness: A Path Toward Healing (Oxford UP, 2020) draws on the perspectives of counseling professionals from across the country to explore contextual and cultural aspects of forgiveness with stories, humor, clinical examples, research, and empirical findings, while also considering the influence of environment and religion. The forgiveness process is a universal one, and this book serves as a resource to anyone wishing to gain insight into their own personal journey. Richard S. Balkin is a Professor and Assistant Department Chair of Leadership and Counselor Education and Coordinator of Educational Research and Design for the School of Education at the University of Mississippi. He began his practice as a professional counselor in 1993 and has worked in academe since 2003. His counseling experience with at-risk youth was formative to his research agenda, which includes understanding the role of counseling and relevant goals for adolescents in crisis and counseling outcomes. Dr. Balkin's publications include textbooks on assessment in counseling, research, and the counseling relationship; published tests and technical manuals; peer-reviewed manuscripts; book chapters; and conference proceedings.

Our relationships enrich our lives. Strong bonds with family, friends, and colleagues make our lives full and vibrant, but they can also be a source of distress or even trauma. Few relationships are perfect, and we often find ourselves let down by even the people we count on most; learning to navigate the challenges is vital to protecting our health and wellbeing. In this book the author presents a model for forgiveness that addresses how we either repair relationships when someone has harmed us, or how we move forward when relationships are beyond repair. Repairing a relationship is not always practical. The model presented in this book can be helpful to promote self-healing and to either re-establish relationships with others or move forward when reconciliation is harmful or not possible. Practicing Forgiveness: A Path Toward Healing (Oxford UP, 2020) draws on the perspectives of counseling professionals from across the country to explore contextual and cultural aspects of forgiveness with stories, humor, clinical examples, research, and empirical findings, while also considering the influence of environment and religion. The forgiveness process is a universal one, and this book serves as a resource to anyone wishing to gain insight into their own personal journey. Richard S. Balkin is a Professor and Assistant Department Chair of Leadership and Counselor Education and Coordinator of Educational Research and Design for the School of Education at the University of Mississippi. He began his practice as a professional counselor in 1993 and has worked in academe since 2003. His counseling experience with at-risk youth was formative to his research agenda, which includes understanding the role of counseling and relevant goals for adolescents in crisis and counseling outcomes. Dr. Balkin's publications include textbooks on assessment in counseling, research, and the counseling relationship; published tests and technical manuals; peer-reviewed manuscripts; book chapters; and conference proceedings.

Presidents have a unique way of shaping polity, though government strength is also tested in other ways. Party polarization, money in politics, economic inequality, and other forces have all hindered the ability to govern. American legal scholar Jack Balkin joins Julian Zelizer and Sam Wang in this week's episode to help walk through these “constitutional cycles.” He explains how the rise and fall of parties, polarization and de-polarization, as well as episodes of "republic decay" and renewal have all shaped American polity over time. These are all subjects in his latest book: “The Cycles of Constitutional Time.” Balkin is Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School. He is the founder and director of Yale’s Information Society Project, an interdisciplinary center that studies law and new information technologies. He also directs the Abrams Institute for Freedom of Expression and the Knight Law and Media Program at Yale. *This episode was recorded in September 2020.

Take the Free "Jumpstart Your Website Traffic" marketing mini-course at www.jumpstartyourwebsitetraffic.com Leave a Review! If you’ve ever wondered how to start a blog from zero, you’re not gonna want to miss today’s episode.  I’m so excited to have Rory Balkin on the podcast because she’s sharing some fantastic advice about how to a niche that you’re super passionate about, start from zero, and turn it into a profitable side hustle. Rory Balkin is a self-proclaimed donut enthusiast and founder of Donut Digest.  I’m not entirely sure how Rory and I connected - but considering that she’s from Texas I can only think that it has to be through the Thrive conference that I’ve spoken at a couple of times.  Which, by the way, if you’re a blogger or you’re thinking about blogging, you need to put this conference on your radar - it’s happening in Houston in April of 2020, and you can go to https://thrivetogether.blog/ and get on the email list to make sure you’re first to know when tickets go on sale because it’s an amazing conference. Anyway, I started to connect with Rory on a deeper level when she joined my free 5 Day Freebie Challenge so that she could create a shareworthy freebie to help her grow her email list - which you’ll find out during our interview why having an email list for her niche donut blog is so, so important. So let’s dive into my interview with Rory Balkin all about how to build and monetize a niche food blog. Today we’re talking about: Why Rory started a blog about donuts and how she built an audience from scratch. Rory’s tactics for getting traction on Instagram. Why Rory created the Dallas Donutfest, and the exact steps she and her partner took to bring it from idea to life. How to build buzz + excitement for anything that you’re about to launch. Why connecting with your audience consistently is so important! How Rory monetized her love of donuts beyond blogging and the food festival. Her best strategy for being more productive. How Rory manages a newborn, a day job a blog and the donut festival. Rory’s advice for someone who is thinking about starting a blog. The belief Rory had to change about herself to get where she is today. My favorite quotes from Rory: “I want to make something of this business, and you really have to connect with people in real life, have that human connection, to make something of it!” On starting her blog: “I don’t know what I’m doing, I just love donuts!” “Relationships are super important.” “I always want to help people.” “It’s all about pulling out the unique and interesting stories from each place.” “You learn as you go.” “You just have to start, learn from those that are a little bit ahead of you, and then start to build those connections to forge those partnerships, create those events, whatever it is that can grow your following.” “You’re not alone if you get stuck somewhere.” “There are risks in business every single day. You have to put yourself out of your comfort zone.” Resources mentioned in this episode: Trello Butler County Donut Trail Free email course on "5 Ways to Attract More Customers to Your Shop” Donut Digest Website: https://www.donutdigest.com/ Dallas Donut Fest: www.dallasdonutfest.com Bio: Rory is a self-proclaimed donut enthusiast and founder of Donut Digest. Since 2016, she's offered donut guides, interviews, downloads and more to the Dallas-Fort Worth community.  In 2018, Rory expanded her services as a marketing consultant for several donut shops and hosted community events throughout the metroplex.  In 2019, Rory joined forces with fellow blogger @brandondoesdallas to create the first-annual Dallas Donut Fest.
