Send us a textCurious about the scientific evidence behind treating joint infections in foals? This eye-opening conversation with Dr. David Wallace explores groundbreaking research validating common clinical practices while revealing surprising limitations.Septic joints in foals present a clinical challenge requiring both local and systemic antimicrobial therapy. Until now, veterinarians have largely extrapolated treatment protocols from adult horses without solid evidence supporting these approaches in neonatal patients. Dr. Wallace's research addresses this critical knowledge gap, examining whether concurrent intravenous regional limb perfusion (IRLP) and systemic amikacin administration achieves therapeutic concentrations in both compartments.The results offer reassurance that splitting the amikacin dose—one-third for regional perfusion and two-thirds systemically—effectively treats both joint infections and underlying systemic disease. Most joints achieved therapeutic concentrations, though significant challenges emerged with hind limb perfusions. The metatarsophalangeal joint consistently failed to reach target levels, revealing important technical limitations around tourniquet placement and vascular integrity that clinicians should consider when treating these patients.This conversation highlights numerous opportunities for future research, from evaluating alternative tourniquet designs to determining appropriate dose adjustments for multiple affected limbs. Dr. Wallace emphasizes that individual patient response remains paramount, reminding us that "foals are not small horses" and require specialized approaches. Whether you're a practicing veterinarian, student, or equine enthusiast, this episode provides valuable insights into evidence-based care for our youngest equine patients.

We have finally arrived at the third and concluding segment of The Mitochondrial Presentation, which covers carbon 60 (i.e., C60, Buckminsterfullerene, & ESS60). Compared to our two preceding mitochondrial modalities of red light therapy and methylene blue, C60 has been in the human purview for a far shorter timeline. However, don't let that short duration fool you, as C60 has been the focal point of the most sensational longevity study in scientific history. If a molecule or a health habit improves lifespan by 10 or 20%, that is considered quite impressive and noteworthy. In that pivotal 2012 Paris study, C60 improved the lifespan of rats by an unprecedented 90%! Last week, I covered one of my favorite mitochondrial topics at length: methylene blue (MB). The deep dive covered the history of MB, along with the mechanisms, benefits and considerations surrounding MB. In a similar arrangement, I will be covering the same topics of history, mechanisms, benefits and considerations relative to C60. Also, I provide some exclusive information, revealing just how unfortunate and disconcerting the quality of C60 supplements are that you will find on the market. Some contain ZERO carbon 60! That's why quality and buying from a trusted source is a must.

Helix Exploration CEO Bo Sears joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the completion of the Darwin #1 well drilling at the Rudyard project area in Montana, where they reached a total depth of 5,488 feet within 12 days. Initial assessments showed promising helium gas-shows across multiple horizons, with concentrations reaching up to 1,312 ppm in drilling mud. Over 330 feet of potential gross pay was identified, including untapped formations not covered in historic drilling. The results indicate a larger anticline structure than initially modeled, as the target horizons came in higher than predicted. Sears noted that Darwin #1 appears to have been drilled near the apex of a more extensive domal anticline, suggesting a broader closure extent for the reservoir. Helix now plans to perform wireline logging at Darwin #1 to define specific zones for perforation and testing. The company is concurrently testing another well, Ingomar, marking a notably active phase for Helix. Additionally, ongoing testing at Clink #1 is set to reveal first gas analysis results soon, providing further insights into the company's Montana exploration potential. #proactiveinvestors #helixexplorationplc #aim #hex #HeLIXExploration #EnergyUpdate #HeliumMarket #HydrogenExploration #KlinkWell #NaturalGas #ChipManufacturing #ProactiveInterview #HeliumDrilling #MontanaHelium #BoSears #HeliumExploration #EnergySector #CHIPSAct #DarwinWell #HeliumIndustry #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Send us a message with this link, we would love to hear from you. Standard message rates may apply. In this episode of Your Checkup, we dive into simple, effective ways to start managing acne at home. From understanding the importance of cleansing routines to selecting the right over-the-counter treatments, we'll guide you through the basics of skincare that can make a big difference. Tune in to learn how to tackle common triggers like excess oil, clogged pores, and inflammation, while also debunking popular acne myths that could be holding you back from clearer skin. Whether you're dealing with breakouts or want to prevent them, this episode is your starting point! Please find out detailed show notes below Acne BasicsAcne is the most common skin disorder in North America, affecting 85% of teenagers.Pimples form when skin cells block a hair follicle. This is made worse by oil (sebum) production and bacteria on the skin.Acne SeverityAcne can range from mild to moderate to severe.At-home treatments can usually handle mild acne. Moderate and severe acne usually require prescription medications from a primary care doctor or dermatologist.Acne Treatment LayersHygiene: Wash your face no more than two times a day with a gentle, non-soap cleanser and warm water. Don't use washcloths or loofahs.Moisturization: Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer, especially if other treatments dry out your skin.Sun Protection: Protect your skin from the sun with sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) or protective clothing. Too much sun can worsen acne and age your skin.Over-the-Counter Treatments for Mild AcneTopical Retinoids: Adapalene 0.1% gel is the only topical retinoid available over the counter in the US.Apply a thin layer to the entire affected area (don't spot treat) once a day, usually at night. Start every other night to reduce irritation, working up to every night over a few weeks.Use a pea-sized amount for the entire face and make sure your skin is dry.Don't use with benzoyl peroxide.Benzoyl Peroxide: Comes in cleansers, gels, lotions, creams, pads, masks, and washes. Concentrations range from 2.5% to 10%.Apply once a day.Benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabric and hair.Salicylic Acid: A good alternative if your skin can't tolerate topical retinoids.These treatments may take up to 12 weeks to work.Combination TherapyUsing benzoyl peroxide in the morning and a retinoid at night can be effective.Sometimes topical clindamycin is used with benzoyl peroxide.Treatment for Moderate to Severe AcneFor severe or widespread acne, or acne that's causing scarring, doctors will start systemic therapy right away, instead of waiting to see if topical treatments work.Doxycycline is an antibiotic that reduces inflammation and fights bacteria.Spironolactone is a medication that can help regulate hormones.IsotretinoinImportant NotesDon't pick or squeeze pimples: This can worsen acne and may cause swelling and scarring.Be patient: It can take several weeks for treatments to show results.Talk to a doctor: If you have concerns about your acne or at-home treatments aren't working,Support the showProduction and Content: Edward Delesky, MD & Nicole Aruffo, RNArtwork: Olivia Pawlowski

Paul Schubach, COO of EMP Metals (CSE: EMPS - OTCQB: EMPPF) joins me to discuss recent drill results from the Viewfield Project in Saskatchewan. Topics include the 10-kilometer step out drilling in the northern part of the Viewfield property, concentration comparisons, and the significance of the Souris River zone for future exploration.    Paul elaborates on the objectives and outcomes of recent step-out drilling activities. The drilling extended 10 kilometers north of the initial discovery well, aiming to confirm and expand the resource's potential. I ask Paul about concentrations encountered at the newly drilled well compared to the wells in the southern part of the property. Despite slightly lower concentrations, results are in line with expectations and critical for resource assessment.  The conversation shifts to future exploration strategies, emphasizing the Souris River zone and plans for further vertical and horizontal wells exploration. EMP Metals is also updating the resource estimates, integrating new data from recent drilling efforts. Near-term milestones include flow testing to determine brine deliverability and reservoir performance.   If you have any follow up questions for Paul and the team at EMP Metals please email me at Fleck@kereport.com      Click here to visit the EMP Metals website to learn more about the Company and assets.

Pulsar Helium Inc CEO Thomas Abraham-James joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's progress and future plans. Pulsar Helium, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker PLSR and on the OTC market as PSRHF, has been actively developing its helium project in Minnesota since its IPO in August of the previous year. The company is capitalizing on an initial discovery by mineral explorers, which identified gas with high helium content while searching for nickel. Pulsar's drilling efforts have confirmed helium concentrations of up to 14.5%, significantly above the economic interest threshold of 0.3%. Recent activities included drilling in February and testing in May, which verified the presence of helium with no associated water and favorable flow rates. Looking ahead, the company plans to update its resource estimates, conduct deeper drilling, and perform lateral drilling to identify additional gas zones. Pulsar Helium is also planning a preliminary economic assessment to further outline the project's potential. Abraham-James emphasized the critical applications of helium in high-tech industries such as space launches, MRI scanners, and semiconductors, particularly noting the global shortage exacerbated by declining U.S. output. Pulsar's project in the USA positions it favorably to meet this demand with a domestic source of helium, ensuring a stable supply for these essential industries. #proactiveinvestors #pulsarheloiuminc #tsxv #plsr #HeliumProject #MinnesotaHelium #ThomasAbrahamJames #TSX #OTC #HeliumDrilling #HighTechIndustries #HeliumShortage #USHelium #EconomicAssessment #IndustrialGases #Semiconductors #MRI #SpaceLaunches #ResourceUpdate #GasExploration #EnergySector #HeliumConcentration #CommodityMarket #HeliumDemand#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Shiyan Koh, Managing Partner of  Hustle Fund, and ​​Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. Taylor Swift $500M Singapore Economy Boost: Jeremy and Shiyan discussed the Singapore government's strategic chess moves for Taylor Swift's concert exclusivity in Southeast Asia. They discussed the excellent return on investment of the $3M move for a $500M increase in Singapore's tourism receipts, stimulating national GDP by 0.25% points for Q1 2024. They also discussed the regional competition for hosting such blockbuster events, along with the underappreciated aspects of the nationalization of the Singapore sports hub, travel logistics hub infrastructure and sensitivity to cultural norms. 2. Barbell Entertainment Blockbusters vs. Long Tail: Jeremy and Shiyan explored the Internet's explosion of the content industry, leading to bimodal distribution, where both blockbuster events and niche content find substantial audiences thanks to the zero marginal cost of digital consumption - and the plunge in middle-tier content. They also discussed how generative AI will impact the shape of this barbell. They reference the book Blockbusters by Harvard professor Anita Elberse and The Long Tail by Chris Anderson. 3. City Talent Vortex & Industry Concentrations: Jeremy and Shiyan discussed the challenges and opportunities presented by talent concentrations. They discussed how cities become industry hubs, such as finance in Singapore, entertainment in LA and tech in SF, with a thought experiment on whether Southeast Asia could produce a global superstar like Taylor Swift. They stressed the structural and cultural factors that influence where talent flourishes, the role of national policy in nurturing ecosystems that can compete on the global stage, and how individual talented individuals should react. Jeremy and Shiyan also talked about the social aspects of fasting vs. eating, the fan communities of avatar-driven Vtubers, and their personal preferences for content consumption like Dune by writer Frank Herbet vs. director Denis Villeneuve.

It's gotta slap to be right! Rae talked about mastering everything from pop to hard rock and punk to EDM and respecting the bass drop, how to master Atmos mixes, tips for managing a studio, when loudness matters, and the importance of level matching. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Raelynn Janicke, a mastering engineer and the studio manager for Infrasonic Mastering, based in Nashville, TN. Before joining Infrasonic in 2019, Raelynn worked at Tommy's Tracks, where she fulfilled a variety of roles alongside owner Tommy Wiggins including mastering and archival. Raelynn has mastered and assisted on projects for The Shins, Kayla Hall, Nefesh Mountain, Talia Stewart, Big 50, and Eli Howard. Raelynn got her Bachelor's Degree in Applied Arts and Sciences, with Concentrations in Audio Engineering and Computer Science, from The Rochester Institute of Technology. Much like her career thus far, Raelynn's path to her degree was self-made. She was initially drawn to the practicality of a job in computer programming, but switched majors halfway through her program after assisting on a college a cappella record. From there, she discovered the school's modest audio program, created an individualized degree, and threw in minors in history and music technology, just to keep things interesting. Raelynn brings this level of enthusiasm and exploration to every project she works on at Infrasonic Mastering, both as manager and engineer. She describes herself on her website as a “Mastering Engineer Who Loves Tacos and Is Taller Than Danny Devito.” Thanks to F Reid Shippen for connecting us. Today we will talk about the tech meets art of mastering, running a busy multi room facility, Atmos immersive audio, and how AI in mastering could affect our future of music.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. A short extract from our Full Duruthu Poya Dhamma session (on 6 January 2023) explaining the connection between the Four Noble Truths and having the Four Determinations as taught by the Buddha in the Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta (MN 140), that lead to the four concentrations. This gives a broader picture of what underpins the verse "One should not neglect wisdom, should preserve Truth, should cultivate relinquishment and should train for peace" The Buddha give very clear and sequential instructions in his teaching to venerable Pukkusāti about - not neglecting wisdom (which means being vigilant in actively developing wisdom), preserving Truth (about Nibbāna), cultivating relinquishment (of all acquisitions), and training for peace (pacification from lust, hatred and delusion). It's important to see the link between having these Determinations based on understanding dukkha, wishing to abandon craving, realising cessation and fully developing the Noble Eightfold Path. And to see how they lead to the four developments and concentrations, inclining towards Nibbāna. **A table of "The Four Profitable Directions" as referenced in this extract has been posted to our Telegram channel (https://t.me/suttameditationseries/650) In the FULL session, we start to go into the sequential and powerful instructions of the Buddha in the Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta (MN 140): To watch the full session (video) - https://bit.ly/3Gf539O To listen to the full session (audio) - https://bit.ly/3XfsqqV The video of this Extract has also been published to the Sutta Meditation YouTube channel - https://bit.ly/3GvBwZV Blessings of the Triple Gem.

Today we're talking to Annie Bacon, the Executive Director of Seeds of Learning, a non-profit organization that works to improve educational opportunities in rural Latin America. I caught up with Annie in her car, but even though the sound quality isn't the greatest, I thought this conversation was worth sharing.In 2011, I took my first trip with Seeds of Learning. I took along 18 high school students, two of which were my own to a remote village in El Salvador. For a week we lived in a rustic retreat center, without the benefits of indoor plumbing or hot showers and spent our days digging a trench in the sun baked earth. We were preparing the ground for the foundation of a new school, one that would be completed over the course of one summer by a stream of volunteers and community members, most of whom we would never meet.In the evening we would gather together and discuss our day, processing what we had seen and the inevitable emotions that seemed to course through our bodies. The poverty was unmistakable. For many of the students, it was the first time they'd ever seen anything like it and yet they were struck by the resiliency of the people they met. The enthusiasm of the students who spent hours in tin walled classrooms that baked with the heat of the midday sun, without books or supplies, the things they'd taken for granted.I have done that trip many times since, with more students than I can remember. Each time, whether it is in a small remote village in El Salvador or the mountains in Nicaragua, the story is the same. We've come here to make a difference. To give a community a chance for something better. A commitment to making the world just a little bit better.But we've left with so much more. With a better understanding of the world we live in. Of the struggles that so much of the world faces. Limited resources. Of governments that do not always value the needs of the people they are meant to represent. Of communities where there is endless need. And the responsibility we have to do what we can to make a difference.For more than 23 years, Annie Bacon has worked with Seeds of Learning. First as a work group volunteer in 1994, and later returned to work as an intern during a semester abroad program in 1997 and the summer of 1998. In 1999, she began full time work with Seeds of Learning as the Program Administrator splitting her time between Nicaragua, El Salvador, and the US. Later she became the Program Coordinator, Director, and 8 years ago, SOL's Executive Director. The organization works with North and Central Americans to build and equip schools in Nicaragua and El Salvador, educate children and adults, and promote cross cultural understanding. Annie has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science with Concentrations in Latin American and Peace and Conflict Studies from Swarthmore College. She lives in northern California with her husband Juan and son Santiago.

Arthur Eddington was committed to testing Einstein's General Theory of Relativity during the 1919 Solar Eclipse, not only to remove all doubts about the theory but also to demonstrate the value of scientific internationalism. But the British Army was determined to send him to the Front. Eddington faced the greatest challenge of his life: proving his opposition to violence and his dedication to science were both a matter of conscience. Conscientious objectors in Britain could be sent to prison if their claims were rejected by local tribunals. Many were sent to solitary confinement, while others were put to hard labor. This prisoner is standing on a stool to get a glimpse of the sky. Some COs were subjected to field punishment. Field punishment was introduced in 1881 following the abolition of flogging in the Army--so I guess that's a good thing? The punishment was applied to soldiers who disobeyed orders, which included COs who had been denied official status and continued to refuse to fight. Men would be tied up to a fixed object for up to two hours a day. Conscientious objectors were despised by the general public and often mocked in political cartoons. In this image, as in many, COs were depicted as unmanly cowards--as "sissies" with a major dose of homophobia. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity describes space as curving in response to the mass of heavy objects. The amount of the curvature depends on the mass of the object, so the Sun will cause greater curvature than the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun because it is caught in the well of the Sun's gravity. One of the problems with most explanations of relativity theory, including my own, is that they imply that massive objects sit on top of space. In fact, they existing within space. This graphic tries to represent this concept. Eddington arranged for two expeditions to view the 1919 eclipse. One went to Sobral in northern Brazil and the other to Príncipe in the Gulf of Guinea. Príncipe is a gorgeous tropical island with misty mountains and white beaches. Eddington was amazed at the lush landscape and tropical fruits; he ate about a dozen bananas a day. Some fifteen years before Eddington arrived, the world learned that the cocoa plantations in Príncipe, which primarily supplied Cadbury's Chocolate, were worked by enslaved laborers kidnapped from Angola. The Portugese government promised to stamp out the practice, but political instability meant that these efforts received little attention. It is unclear in 1919 if Eddington saw free or enslaved laborers at work. Northern Brazil, meanwhile, had been struck by a devastating drought in 1915 that killed hundreds of thousands of people. Many of those who survived fled the region, but the government feared they would cause instability if they arrived in Brazil's cities. What can only be called concentration camps were established and people were forced to live in them, as seen here. The drought was beginning to lessen in 1919, but the region was struggling. The eclipse observation teams arrived with telescopes, cameras, glass photographic plates, developer chemicals, motors, clocks, waterproof tents and more. Here you can see the set up in Sobral. The light from the Hyades had been traveling about 153 years when it reached Eddington's telescope. Scientists now know that at least one of the stars within the cluster has three planets, one roughly the size and composition of the Earth. It is considered unlikely any advanced life exists on the planet, but anything is possible. This is one of Eddington's original photos of the eclipse. It has been scanned, and the stars that he was measuring are circled and labeled. You can see that the stars are incredibly dim and hard to spot even when pointed out. The announcement by Eddington and Dyson caught the world's attention and newspapers struggled to make sense of the discovery. The Illustrated London News did a fairly good job of explaining what the astronomers were looking for. The New York Times, on the other hand, was more bombastic that clear. I can only imagine readers were perplexed by this announcement, which seems at pains to tell everyone that (a) no one understands what has happened but (b) you don't need to worry about it. I suppose with everything else going on, readers did like having that reassurance. The bit about "A Book for 12 Wise Men" refers to a story that circulated widely at the time. Supposedly, Einstein had gone to a publisher about writing about book about his theory, but the publisher replied that since only about 12 wise men in all the world would understand it, there was no point in publishing. This story seems to have been completely made up but got a lot of traction in the years to come. (Also, apparently only men of science were more or less agog. No word on the women of science, who, while small in number, did exist.) Einstein made his first visit to Britain in 1921. He toured the United States first (a tour he found exhausting and "horrendous" because of all of the press attention) and then journeyed to the UK on his way back to Germany. In this image, he and his wife Elsa stand on deck during their journey. Einstein met Eddington for the first time on this trip, but I haven't found any photos of the occasion. Einstein made multiple visits to Britain over the years and often met with Eddington. Here the two men sit and talk in 1930. I don't know where this photo was taken, but I wonder if they are at Eddington's house in Cambridge. His sister Winifred found great joy in her garden. The Theory of Relativity as been confirmed and reconfirmed in the last 100 years. The distortion of light by large masses is well known today and described as "gravitational lensing." It has become an important tool in modern astronomy because it allows astronomers to study objects that are incredibly far away. It also provides a way to measure the mass of distant galaxies and therefore to estimate the amount of invisible dark matter within. You can read more about this in the sources I've linked to below. This image shows one galaxy distorted into a ring that appears around a galaxy positioned directly in front of it. Here is another example of lensing. The blue curve is the light of a galaxy located behind the bright yellow galaxies, its light distorted by their mass. This amazing image from the Hubble telescope shows multiple examples of lensing. The stretched out and arced lines of light are distorted images of far-away galaxies. Some galaxies might even appear more than once as their light is split and sent along different paths. Eddington could have had no idea how dramatic the effects of lensing could be, or how important they are for modern astronomers. I hope you will take the time to watch this video of Neil Gaiman reading his poem about Arthur Eddington. (The actual poem begins at about 4:18.) You can also read along on the Brain Pickings website. (https://www.brainpickings.org/2019/10/29/in-transit-neil-gaiman-eddington/) Warning, there is one NSFW word in the poem, but I think you all can handle it. It captures so much about Eddington--his passion, his reticence, his brilliance, and, perhaps, his desperate need to keep hidden one essential part of his identity, his homosexuality.
