In Episode 19, Dr. Teri embraces the spirit of the new year by breaking free from the shackles of our past and embracing the now. Yet it's more – much more – than simply shaking off the trauma and heartbreak of 2020. Letting go is the process by which we allow ourselves to grow, to move forward, and to push ourselves, unbridled, toward the self-actualization we seek to realize for ourselves."It doesn't mean we have to pretend that some bad thing didn't happen to us. It's just that we get to step back from it...ease up, and stop holding on to something that happened to us.," explains Dr. Teri. And letting go of who we think we're supposed to be. Letting go of old versions of ourselves. -------------------------------------------------------------“Thank God I found the GOOD in goodbye.”– Beyoncé Knowles-------------------------------------------------------------"We have to allow ourselves our own becoming, our own evolution, our own growth," Dr. Teri continues. "You've got to make space for that."Listen to Episode 19: Letting Go now on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts[Graphic credit: Photograph by Pixabay. Used under Creative Commons CC0.

What constitutes effective leadership in a world defined by a pandemic, a tectonic pivot, and a near-crippling uncertainty about what tomorrow may bring?The very fabric of society is transforming before our eyes. The stakes for decisions we make every day – Do I wear a mask? Must I go into that store? Should I sanitize my hands again? – seem momentous, at times absurd. For many of us, our work modes have morphed too, shifting nearly overnight from desks in offices to video meetings at our dining tables. Yet while isolating from work colleagues and neighbors, we're in extremely tight quarters with our partners and family members, running Zoom meetings in parallel, stealing time from our jobs to help our distance-learning children prove a Geometry theorem or to give the sourdough one last knead."These are conditions that were always there, but everything has more gravitas because we're being confronted," Dr. Teri observes. "We're now seeing how we fit into this life as individuals, as organic beings, or as humans."-------------------------------------------------------------“Effective leadership has a core of love.”– Dr. Teri Baydar-------------------------------------------------------------Dr. Teri points out that we've all been lulled into accepting a status quo without due reflection or discernment. While nobody should neglect or disavow the suffering endured by many people and groups in the years before COVID-19 struck, certain of us have willingly surrendered our right to question convention, seduced by the sense of security – real or imagined – promised by the status quo."Now," she observes, "we're pivoting on every single front."Dr. Teri believes that we're on the verge of a larger global shift, within which COVID is but one of many catalyzing events. Post-lockdown leadership requires balance: yin and yang, left-brain and right-brain, thinking and feeling.

Election Day is near at hand in the United States, and our judging faculties are working overtime.Given the high stakes, it's worthwhile to ask: how does this process work? How can we judge – ourselves, others, ideas, and institutions – more effectively? Is judging even a healthy process?"Really good judgment is discernment," offers Dr. Teri, "You've got to step away from the linear right-wrong, black-white, good-bad...that binary thing. Discernment comes from a different place." -------------------------------------------------------------"He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment."Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching-------------------------------------------------------------What's the difference between judgment and discernment? Judgment, first of all, draws from our more primal faculties, the fight-flight-freeze impulses we once relied upon for our survival. In other words, when we judge, we draw conclusions hastily, with little to no processing. Second, the act of judging assumes a power differential: courtroom judges and magistrates sit on a bench, stationed above the prosecutor, defendant, and jury. Finally, when we judge the actions and character of others, we really judge ourselves.And we deserve better than that, don't we?Discernment, on the other hand, is a process we use to distinguish among different degrees of appropriate and inappropriate. When we practice discernment, we're not sorting behaviors, decisions, statements, or – least of all – people into "good" and "bad" boxes. Discernment is about reflecting on varying shades of virtue: good, better, best. We can't truly discern without developing a holistic understanding of the context involved. It necessarily involves our brain's higher cognitive functions. Let's be clear, however: we all judge."Let's talk about how the judge inside us works," counsels Dr. Teri. "The judge's intention is to give us a sense of security even where there is none, to control the world in ways that it cannot be controlled. It's wired into us as a survival mechanism, but then it gets out of hand."To reach our highest potential, we need to break out of the judging mindset and embrace the practice of discernment.Listen to Episode 16: Judging Me, Judging You now on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts[Graphic credit: "Stylish black man showing thumb down."

Fake news can, and has, changed fortunes. Even when it barely registers on the infosphere, fake news can cause major upsets. A Princeton-led study found that fake news played a bigger role in swaying former Obama voters away from voting for Hillary Clinton than either being a Republican or personally disliking Clinton. The study found that false articles made up 2.6 percent of all hard-news articles late in the campaign, and Clinton ultimately lost the three states that delivered Trump the presidency - Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin - by less than a percentage point. The history of fake news goes at least as far back as the 13th century BCE, when King Ramses II of Egypt memorialized accounts of crushing the Hittite army in the Battle of Kadesh in official records, drawings, and poetry carved on temple walls. In truth the conflict ended in a stalemate."News has always been," Dr. Teri points out, "a manipulation tool." Further, she observes, "now anybody can make news. And on the other end, we can have massive organized manipulation of news."-------------------------------------------------------------"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read it, you're misinformed."Denzel Washington-------------------------------------------------------------Yet, strange to say, we are all complicit in both the practice and in the effectiveness of fake news.True, each news item pushes an agenda, a response from its consumer. Each intends to push us in one direction or another, to buy something, to vote a certain way, to react in a certain way, ultimately to serve other interests. These interests may be corporate, government, or not-for-profit. But the agenda, the intention, and the call to action are always there. Our responsibility? To resist the temptation to accept news at face value. To peer deep into the sources of our news to uncover potential biases, affiliations, and alliances. Yes, consider the news outlet itself – its reputation for objectivity, integrity, and quality – but by no means should we let our guard down, even when the source is considered unimpeachable. Healthy skepticism makes for sound decision making. Sound decision making, in turn, makes for effective leadership.As individual thinkers, it's vital for us to apply this same skepticism to our own beliefs, attitudes, values, and politics. In a sense, the war on fake news begins in our own hearts and minds."We have the right to demand that media does a better job," says Dr. Teri. "But it's also up to us. We're at a place in history where we need to wake up. We need to think like individuals. Figure it out. Make the effort. Know yourself, make better choices, and see through the B.S. instead of becoming a victim of it."Listen to Episode 15: Fake News - Why We're Complicit now on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts[Graphic credit: "Woman Holding Burning Newspaper."

Do you see the world as a struggle between good and evil? Are there two sides to every story? If things seem black or white to you, you may be a victim of what Dr. Teri calls Binary Bullshit. "We lean so heavily," she observes, "into our left brain - the left brain function is capture, contain, and control, and it's anchored in fear - so everything gets reduced to very simple equations."Of course, there's nothing simpler than A vs. B. But does distilling problems to a choice of two polar opposites actually help us resolve issues or rise to challenges?"To walk around thinking that we're actually communicating, that we're actually making choices, when we're working in this binary bullshit construct, is the real problem," Dr. Teri explains. "Because we're not solving anything when we go about it that way."-------------------------------------------------------------Well, it may be the devil or it may be the LordBut you're gonna have to serve somebodyBob Dylan, "Gotta Serve Somebody"-------------------------------------------------------------Some questions are binary, offering us the luxury to flip a switch in one of two reasonable directions. Others are multivariate, and still others involve forking paths and contingencies.But in all cases, it's useful to take a step back to consider: are we addressing the right problem? If it turns out we're not, we may be missing out on the potential to innovate, to reinvent."There's an anecdote I heard long ago," recalls Achmad, "involving a building management company that was inundated by complaints about slow elevator service." The problem, he continues, was initially framed as a choice between (a) taking the elevator completely out of service to install a faster hoist technology and (b) adding a costly second elevator to double passenger capacity. Fortunately, a maverick on the team managed to sell the others on an oblique strategy: install large mirrors along the lobby walls. Remarkably, this change put an abrupt end to the complaints. Why? Because instead of standing awkwardly in the lobby, people now fixated their own reflections, and watching the elevator lights impatiently gave way to fixing their hair or straightening their lapels."If you take away the box," summarizes Dr. Teri, "what else is there? All of those questions add space. Embrace the openness, allowing all the possibilities to come into your mind."Listen to Episode 14: Rejecting Binary Bullshit now on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts[Graphic credit: "Person Marking Check on Opened Book."

Solitude doesn't always coincide with loneliness. On the contrary, solitude is an often-employed vehicle for sharpening focus, manifesting intention, or simply being in the present.But solitude as a means to strengthen relationships? Though the paradox is startling, the underlying logic is compelling."Be alone with your thoughts," advises Dr. Teri. "Then you get to be a whole person. That gives you something to check in with when you need to set boundaries, when you want to make a choice: Do I want to deepen this relationship? Are they in alignment with who I want to be? Do they bring something to the table that is in alignment with who I am?"What kinds of relationships are we talking about? Romantic relationships, certainly, but also family relationships, work and professional relationships, and even relatively transactional relationships, like the one you have with your plumber or your dentist. Of course, the more intimate the relationship, the greater the return on investment from your practice of intentional solitude.-------------------------------------------------------------“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars.”– Eve Ensler-------------------------------------------------------------"It also allows you to be in a better position," adds Dr. Teri, "when you're negotiating...for a job or anything else. You're not taken for a ride as much if you're able to be with yourself while you're with other people."Of course, our current COVID-19 pandemic constrains the ways by which we can be with other people. It's thus worth asking: have you noticed any improvements in the quality of your relationships as a result of your isolation?The connection between solitude and healthy human relationships is vital. We need to overcome our tendency to think of relationships as dynamic and solitude as passive. Our intentional practice of solitude should be every bit as dynamic as our most formative relationships.With practice, Dr. Teri explains, there comes a point where your solitude becomes a strength. Once you fully know that you're okay when you're alone, you can check in with yourself even when other people are around, and notice your reactions to what they're doing, what they're saying. You start to notice new parts of yourself. This self-knowledge equips you to respond in healthier ways to the people with whom you're in relationship.Listen to Episode 13: How Solitude Strengthens Relationships now on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts[Graphic credit: "Couple Having a Misunderstanding."

A bullheaded woman is forced off an airplane for refusing to wear a mask during a pandemic. Facebook's lackluster efforts to control hate speech leads to an advertising boycott by more than 250 consumer companies. And years after former quarterback Colin Kaepernick is shunned the National Football League, players for Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and San Francisco Giants take a knee to open the season in a "pre-game tribute to Black Lives Matter." What goes around comes around. How sweet, the righteous hand of karma! Well no, actually. These aren't examples of karma. Moreover, karma probably isn't what you think it is. To complicate matters further, the question of karma's true nature, and where it begins and ends, remains a topic of disagreement even among scholars of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Taoism, where karma constitutes a central spiritual principle."People are using 'karma' from a place of judgment," observes Dr. Teri. They are, as she puts it, weaponizing the concept. It's a direct extension of their sense of superiority, a conviction not only that they can unflinchingly differentiate right from wrong, but also that they know the universe will intervene to right the wrong.One flaw in this thinking is the assumption that karmic consequence is necessarily negative, all stick and no carrot. Another flaw is the expectation that these consequences will be material in nature.Karma is not revenge. It's not justice. It's not fate, and it's not a scorecard.-------------------------------------------------------------“If I take yellow and blue paint and mix them together, that makes green. That is karma.”– Dr. Teri Baydar-------------------------------------------------------------In truth, karma is the principle that our intentions and actions bring consequences. A cause-and-effect phenomenon, to be sure, but one that allows for the effect to manifest today, next week, ten years from now, or in some future lifetime. Further, that manifestation may be material, emotional, or spiritual in nature."Karma is actually neutral," Dr. Teri explains. "If I take yellow and blue paint and mix them together, that makes green. That is karma." Why does karma matter from a leadership development perspective? Quite simply because to gain an understanding of karma is to develop one's self-awareness, to enable choices and vision for the greater good, and to connect with our higher selves.Listen to Episode 12: Seeing Karma in a Different Light now on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts[Graphic credit: "Gray Newton's Cradle."

Isolation. Quarantine. Distance.We're all being asked to live in a new place that's way outside of our comfort zone, thanks to our COVID19 #pandemic. This new place is a station of solitude. We've pivoted overnight from a group-hugging, fist-bumping, Agile-scrumming, carpooling, and happy-hour reveling wonderland to a disquieting work-from-home, distance-teaching, virtual-meeting, and Zoom-concert limbo.And the pivot is clearly taking a toll on our physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being.Yet like so many phenomena we're coping with right now, our necessary solitude is in many respects just an escalation of a sickness that's been plaguing us for decades. Dr. Teri calls it Left-Brain Loneliness."We're living in little pods," she notes. "And that intensifies our sense of separation, the us-versus-them, the otherism."So what's the left-brain connection? Dr. Teri reminds us that this feeling of loneliness comes from the place in our minds dominated by linearity, binary modeling, manipulation, and materiality. -------------------------------------------------------------“Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine.”– Honoré de Balzac-------------------------------------------------------------Our perception – our attitudes – create our experiences, which influence the way we react to people. Our reactions in turn influence the way they perceive us, and the ways in which they interact with us, in an ever-widening ripple effect. In this insidious spiral, left-brain loneliness marks the start of our descent into a dark, calculating, manipulating mindset.Moreover, for all the ills that come with commodifying our friends, colleagues, and even fellow family members – reducing them to mere units of value and risk – the real damage comes from the way this mindset leads us to dehumanize ourselves. Whether positive or negative, what goes around comes around.How do we free ourselves from this damaging cycle of loneliness and self-loathing?"Connect with the core of your being and the loneliness goes away," Dr. Teri assures us, "no matter how isolated you are." She describes a simple exercise she uses with clients coping with left-brain loneliness. "Try to see yourself moving from 'alone' to 'all one.' Just by adding that 'L,' you not only take comfort in the fact that you're not alone; you embark on your personal journey to becoming an altruist."In other words, by embracing the humanity in others – in real life or on Zoom meetings, at a distance or in close quarters – we grow into the richness of our own, vital humanity. We can thus become our own best friends.Listen to Episode 11: Left-Brain Loneliness now on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts[Graphic credit: Photograph by mikoto.raw.

In July of 1961, a psychologist at Yale University recruited a group of men to participate in what was advertised as "a scientific study of memory and learning" in the basement of Linsly-Chittenden Hall, on the campus quad. These men, from a variety of occupations and education levels, were instructed to administer punishment – in the form of electric shocks – to so-called "learners" each time the latter failed to correctly recite blocks of content from memory. The truth about this now-infamous Milgram Experiment is that the learners were paid actors, the electric shock delivery system was a harmless prop, and the men themselves were the subjects. The imperious scientists in white lab coats who supervised and directed their actions were experimenting on them.The study was conceived to explore how far a person will go to obey an authority figure. To nearly everyone's surprise, almost all of the subjects were willing to push shock levels to the maximum 450 volts – much higher than a lethal dose – not just once, but three times in succession. The experiment was replicated by many others, and in many countries around the world. The results have been remarkably consistent.-------------------------------------------------------------“Control the manner in which a man interprets his world, and you have gone a long way toward controlling his behavior.”– Stanley Milgram, Obedience to Authority-------------------------------------------------------------In short, each of us is prone to the kind of manipulation that can lead us to commit dark atrocities we would otherwise condemn.The experiment raises other equally uncomfortable issues, including:Where are the ethical boundaries between devising fictitious situations for legitimate research and putting people at risk for traumatic stress and mental illness?How can we safeguard social order and cultural diversity against devious authority figures?What minimum debriefing standards and psychological support must we insist upon for research subjects?How can we train ourselves to stay vigilant against attempts to manipulate us?These questions are far from academic. We've all seen a steep rise in authoritarianism across the globe. We've watched unfold the weaponization of social media, the politicization of pandemic crises, and the flagrant denial of easily demonstrable facts and events.Listen to Episode 10: Obedience and Authority now on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts[Graphic credit: Untitled photograph, photographer unknown.

The notion that power structures are pyramid-shaped by nature is as deeply ingrained as the fairy tales we're told in our youth and the corporate ladders we set out to climb as professionals. But is it time to explore alternative models?Let's talk about pyramid schemes. No, not the notorious business ruses where paying recruits try to turn profits by exacting fees from rubes they bring on. We're talking instead about all the hierarchies – from sports teams to companies, orchestras, governments, faith communities, and even grassroots groups like neighborhood watch committees - that just seem naturally to take on that familiar pyramidal aspect: a commander at the top, flanked by a handful of lieutenants, and supported by a greater number of soldiers below.There's an irresistible logic to this structure, of course. Yet it's useful to consider alternative structures, especially now, where the promise of benevolent leadership in our federal government has proven tenuous while the threat of authoritarian overreach grows daily. In the wake of COVID-19, what we're discovering is that when people at the lower echelons of corporate entities suffer, the people at the top suffer too. If people at the bottom can't go to work due to quarantine, isolation, or sickness, the value that they create no longer accrues for those at the top.Rethinking the Balance of Authority and ValueSo what alternative structures are there? Dr. Teri talks about peer networks of "pods," or teams organized to provide a focused service or produce a specific component. The gig economy continues to evolve, certain implementations of which empower workers to manage their own time and resources, and even set their own rates. You Don't Need to Throw Out the System to Reform ItGranted, some processes likely lend themselves to pyramidal organizations. Others, which may benefit from a different organizational approach, might need to change gradually.Our role as self-actualized leaders is to constantly reflect on what we can do to improve these structures, these processes, and the products and services they deliver. What can we do to ensure that people across the organization are treated fairly, with dignity, and in a way that aligns with the true value they provide?

Upgrading FreeBSD from 11.3 to 12.1, Distrowatch switching to FreeBSD, Torvalds says don’t run ZFS, iked(8) removed automatic IPv6 blocking, working towards LLDB on i386, and memory-hard Argon2 hashing scheme in NetBSD. Headlines Upgrading FreeBSD from 11.3 to 12.1 (https://blog.bimajority.org/2020/01/13/upgrading-freebsd-from-11-3-to-12-1/) Now here’s something more like what I was originally expecting the content on this blog to look like. I’m in the process of moving all of our FreeBSD servers (about 30 in total) from 11.3 to 12.1. We have our own local build of the OS, and until “packaged base” gets to a state where it’s reliably usable, we’re stuck doing upgrades the old-fashioned way. I created a set of notes for myself while cranking through these upgrades and I wanted to share them since they are not really work-specific and this process isn’t very well documented for people who haven’t been doing this sort of upgrade process for 25 years. Our source and object trees are read-only exported from the build server over NFS, which causes things to be slow. /etc/make.conf and /etc/src.conf are symbolic links on all of our servers to the master copies in /usr/src so that make installworld can find the configuration parameters the system was built with. Switching Distrowatch over to BSD (https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/eodhit/switching_distrowatch_over_to_freebsd_ama/) This may be a little off-topic for this board (forgive me if it is, please). However, I wanted to say that I'm one of the people who works on DistroWatch (distrowatch.com) and this past week we had to deal with a server facing hardware failure. We had a discussion about whether to continue running Debian or switch to something else. The primary "something else" option turned out to be FreeBSD and it is what we eventually went with. It took a while to convert everything over from working with Debian GNU/Linux to FreeBSD 12 (some script incompatibilities, different paths, some changes to web server configuration, networking IPv6 troubles). But in the end we ended up with a good, FreeBSD-based experience. Since the transition was successful, though certainly not seamless, I thought people might want to do a Q&A on the migration process. Especially for those thinking of making the same switch. News Roundup iked(8) automatic IPv6 blocking removed (https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#r20200114) iked(8) no longer automatically blocks unencrypted outbound IPv6 packets. This feature was intended to avoid accidental leakage, but in practice was found to mostly be a cause of misconfiguration. If you previously used iked(8)'s -6 flag to disable this feature, it is no longer needed and should be removed from /etc/rc.conf.local if used. Linus says dont run ZFS (https://itsfoss.com/linus-torvalds-zfs/) “Don’t use ZFS. It’s that simple. It was always more of a buzzword than anything else, I feel, and the licensing issues just make it a non-starter for me.” This is what Linus Torvalds said in a mailing list to once again express his disliking for ZFS filesystem specially over its licensing. To avoid unnecessary confusion, this is more intended for Linux distributions, kernel developers and maintainers rather than individual Linux users. GSoC 2019 Final Report: Incorporating the memory-hard Argon2 hashing scheme into NetBSD (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/gsoc_2019_final_report_incorporating) We successfully incorporated the Argon2 reference implementation into NetBSD/amd64 for our 2019 Google Summer of Coding project. We introduced our project here and provided some hints on how to select parameters here. For our final report, we will provide an overview of what changes were made to complete the project. The Argon2 reference implementation, available here, is available under both the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 and the Apache Public License 2.0. To import the reference implementation into src/external, we chose to use the Apache 2.0 license for this project. Working towards LLDB on i386 NetBSD (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/working_towards_lldb_on_i386) Upstream describes LLDB as a next generation, high-performance debugger. It is built on top of LLVM/Clang toolchain, and features great integration with it. At the moment, it primarily supports debugging C, C++ and ObjC code, and there is interest in extending it to more languages. In February 2019, I have started working on LLDB, as contracted by the NetBSD Foundation. So far I've been working on reenabling continuous integration, squashing bugs, improving NetBSD core file support, extending NetBSD's ptrace interface to cover more register types and fix compat32 issues, fixing watchpoint and threading support. Throughout December I've continued working on our build bot maintenance, in particular enabling compiler-rt tests. I've revived and finished my old patch for extended register state (XState) in core dumps. I've started working on bringing proper i386 support to LLDB.

Introduction: Many medical education journals use Twitter to garner attention for their articles. The purpose of this study was to test the effects of tweeting on article page views and downloads. Methods: The authors conducted a randomized trial using Academic Medicine articles published in 2015. Beginning in February through May 2018, one article per day was randomly assigned to a Twitter (case) or control group. Daily, an individual tweet was generated for each article in the Twitter group that included the title, #MedEd, and a link to the article. The link delivered users to the article’s landing page, which included immediate access to the HTML full text and a PDF link. The authors extracted HTML page views and PDF downloads from the publisher. To assess differences in page views and downloads between cases and controls, a time-centered approach was used, with outcomes measured at 1, 7, and 30 days. Results: In total, 189 articles (94 cases, 95 controls) were analyzed. After days 1 and 7, there were no statistically significant differences between cases and controls on any metric. On day 30, HTML page views exhibited a 63% increase for cases (M = 14.72, SD = 63.68) when compared to controls (M = 9.01, SD = 14.34; incident rate ratio = 1.63, p = 0.01). There were no differences between cases and controls for PDF downloads on day 30. Discussion: Contrary to the authors’ hypothesis, only one statistically significant difference in page views between the Twitter and control groups was found. These findings provide preliminary evidence that after 30 days a tweet can have a small positive effect on article page views.

Raising public awareness of sepsis, a potentially life-threatening dysregulated host response to infection, to hasten its recognition has become a major focus of physicians, investigators, and both non-governmental and governmental agencies. While the internet is a common means by which to seek out healthcare information, little is understood about patterns and drivers of these behaviors. We sought to examine traffic to Wikipedia, a popular and publicly available online encyclopedia, to better understand how, when, and why users access information about sepsis. Utilizing pageview traffic data for all available language localizations of the sepsis and septic shock pages between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2018, significantly outlying daily pageview totals were identified using a seasonal hybrid extreme studentized deviate approach. Consecutive outlying days were aggregated, and a qualitative analysis was undertaken of print and online news media coverage to identify potential correlates. Traffic patterns were further characterized using paired referrer to resource (i.e. clickstream) data, which were available for a temporal subset of the pageviews. Of the 20,557,055 pageviews across 65 linguistic localizations, 47 of the 1,096 total daily pageview counts were identified as upward outliers. After aggregating sequential outlying days, 25 epochs were examined. Qualitative analysis identified at least one major news media correlate for each, which were typically related to high-profile deaths from sepsis and, less commonly, awareness promotion efforts. Clickstream analysis suggests that most sepsis and septic shock Wikipedia pageviews originate from external referrals, namely search engines. Owing to its granular and publicly available traffic data, Wikipedia holds promise as a means by which to better understand global drivers of online sepsis information seeking. Further characterization of user engagement with this information may help to elucidate means by which to optimize the visibility, content, and delivery of awareness promotion efforts.

Ensuring quality of care in nursing homes is a public health priority, yet how nursing home quality relates to cost is not well understood. This paper addresses this relationship for 132 VA community living centers (nursing homes), for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. We estimated cost models using the VA Decision Support System which tracks total direct costs and nursing direct costs for individual resident segments of care. We summed residents’ total costs and nursing costs to the community living center level for each year. Annual facility costs then were regressed on quality of care measured with composite scores based on 13 distinct adverse events. Results indicated that higher quality was associated with higher predicted cost. However, we did not find evidence that higher costs were driven by high nurse staffing levels.

Aims/Hypothesis: Early recognition of those at high risk for diabetes as well as diabetes itself can permit preventive management, but many Americans with diabetes are undiagnosed. We sought to determine whether routinely available outpatient random plasma glucose (RPG) would be useful to facilitate the diagnosis of diabetes. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 942,446 U.S. Veterans without diagnosed diabetes, ≥3 RPG in a baseline year, and ≥1 primary care visit/year during 5-year follow-up. The primary outcome was incident diabetes (defined by diagnostic codes and outpatient prescription of a diabetes drug). Results: Over 5 years, 94,599 were diagnosed with diabetes [DIAB] while 847,847 were not [NONDIAB]. Baseline demographics of DIAB and NONDIAB were clinically similar, except DIAB had higher BMI (32 vs. 28 kg/m2) and RPG (150 vs. 107 mg/dl), and were more likely to have Black race (18% vs. 15%), all p

Objectives: To explore if short term, high dose vitamin D supplementation is safe and improves balance in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: A pilot randomized, double-blind intervention trial to measure the effects of 16 weeks of high dose vitamin D (10,000 IU/day) on balance as well as other motor and non-motor features of PD. We measured balance, gait, strength, falls, cognition, mood, PD severity, and quality of life before and after 16 weeks of high dose vitamin D supplementation or placebo. All participants also received 1000 mg calcium once daily. Results: Fifty-one randomized participants completed sixteen weeks of high dose vitamin D supplementation or placebo. The intervention resulted in a rise in serum concentrations of vitamin D (25-OH) (30.2 ng/ml to 61.1 ng/ml) and was well tolerated with no serious adverse events. Serum vitamin D (25-OH) levels rose steadily and did not suggest a leveling off at the end of the 16 weeks. There was not an improvement in the primary endpoint, balance as measured by the Sensory Organization Test (p = 0.43). A post hoc analysis examining treatment effects in younger (ages 52–66) versus older (ages 67–86) participants found a significant improvement in the SOT of 10.6 points in the younger half of the cohort (p = 0.012). Conclusions: Short term, high dose vitamin D supplementation appears safe in persons with PD, but did not significantly improve balance as measured with the Sensory Organization Test in this pilot study population. A post hoc analysis suggests that vitamin D may have potential for improving balance in a younger population with PD. High dose vitamin D supplementation in PD needs further study especially in light of new research suggesting that mega doses and even moderate doses (as low as 4000IU a day) may increase falls in an older populations.

Background: Reducing diet costs may lead to the selection of energy-dense foods, such as refined grains or foods high in added sugars and/or fats, which can lower overall dietary quality. We examined the longitudinal association between the monetary value of the diet (MVD) and the overall dietary quality across sex, race and income groups. Methods and findings: Longitudinal data from 1,466 adult urban participants from Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) study were used. Healthy Eating Index–2010 (HEI–2010) and Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) were computed and a national food price database was used to estimate MVD. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted linking annual rates of change (Δ) in MVD to ΔHEI-2010 and ΔMAR, stratifying by sex, race and income groups. Among key findings, ΔHEI-2010 was comparable across socio-demographic groups, while ΔMAR was higher among women and individuals above poverty. Adjusting for key covariates, ΔMVD was positively associated with both ΔHEI-2010 and ΔMAR, and with a consistently stronger association among individuals above poverty, specifically for the total proteins and empty calories components of HEI-2010 and several nutrient adequacy ratios (NARs: vitamins C, E, B-6 and Zinc). ΔMVD-ΔMAR association was stronger in women, mainly influenced by ΔMVD’s positive associations with B-vitamins, copper, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus NARs. ΔMVD-Δvitamin D NAR’s positive relationship was stronger among Whites, while ΔMVD-Δvitamin B-12 NAR’s association was stronger among African-Americans. Conclusions: In sum, a potential increase in MVD may have a stronger impact on dietary quality among urban adult women and above-poverty individuals. Beydoun MA, Fanelli-Kuczmarski MT, Poti J, et al.

Climate change impacts on health—including increased exposures to heat, poor air quality, extreme weather events, altered vector-borne disease transmission, reduced water quality, and decreased food security—affect men and women differently, depending on local geographic and socioeconomic factors. Climate change threatens to widen existing gender-based health disparities, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Health impacts, and gender differences in those impacts, are mediated through socioeconomic, cultural, and physiologic factors. Policy action targeted towards these factors, which are often modifiable, can decrease negative health outcomes. Integration of a gendered perspective into existing climate, development, and disaster-risk reduction policy frameworks requires improvement in data acquisition, monitoring of gender-specific targets, coordination between sectors, and equitable stakeholder engagement. Empowering women as educators, caregivers, holders of knowledge, and agents of social change can improve mitigation and adaptation policy interventions. Sorensen C, Murray V, Lemery J, Balbus J.

As the sport of outdoor rock climbing rapidly grows, there is increasing pressure to understand how it can affect communities of organisms in cliff habitats. To that end, we surveyed 32 cliff sites in Boulder, Colorado, USA, and assessed the relative roles of human recreation and natural habitat features as drivers of bird diversity and activity. We detected only native avian species during our observations. Whereas avian abundance was not affected by climbing, avian species diversity and community conservation value were higher at low-use climbing formations. Models indicated that climber presence and cliff aspect were important predictors of both avian diversity and avian cliff use within our study area, while long-term climbing use frequency has a smaller, but still negative association with conservation value and cliff use by birds in the area. In contrast, the diversity of species on the cliff itself was not affected by any of our measured factors. To assess additional community dynamics, we surveyed vegetation and arthropods at ten site pairs. Climbing negatively affected lichen communities, but did not significantly affect other vegetation metrics or arthropods. We found no correlations between avian diversity and diversity of either vegetation or arthropods. Avian cliff use rate was positively correlated with arthropod biomass. We conclude that while rock climbing is associated with lower community diversity at cliffs, some common cliff-dwelling birds, arthropods and plants appear to be tolerant of climbing activity. An abiotic factor, cliff aspect strongly affected patterns of both avian diversity and cliff use, suggesting that the negative effects of rock climbing may be mitigated by informed management of cliff habitat that considers multiple site features.

Keeping commitments to others can be difficult, and we know that people sometimes fail to keep them. How does a speaker’s ability to keep commitments affect children’s practical decisions to trust and their epistemic decisions to learn? An amassing body of research documents children’s trust in testimonial learning decisions, which can be moved in the face of epistemic and moral evidence about an agent. However, other bases for trust go largely unexplored in this literature, such as interpersonal reasons to trust. Here, we investigated how direct bids for interpersonal trust in the form of making commitments, or obligations to the listener, influence a range of decisions toward that agent. We found that 3- and 4-year-olds’ (N = 75) practical decisions to wait and to share were moved as a function of a person’s commitment-keeping ability, but epistemic decisions to learn were not. Keeping one’s commitments may provide children with interpersonal reasons to trust, reasons that may function in ways distinct from the considerations that bear on accepting a claim.

Rationale & objective: As the prevalence of obesity continues to rise in the United States, it is important to understand its impact on the lifetime risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Study design: The CKD Health Policy Model was used to simulate the lifetime risk of CKD for those with and without obesity at baseline. Model structure was updated for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline to incorporate new longitudinal data from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) study. Setting and population: The updated model was populated with a nationally representative cohort from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Outcomes: Lifetime risk of CKD, highest stage and any stage. Model, perspective, & timeframe: Simulation model following up individuals from current age through death or age 90 years. Results: Lifetime risk of any CKD stage was 32.5% (95% CI 28.6%–36.3%) for persons with normal weight, 37.6% (95% CI 33.5%–41.7%) for persons who were overweight, and 41.0% (95% CI 36.7%–45.3%) for persons with obesity at baseline. The difference between persons with normal weight and persons with obesity at baseline was statistically significant (p

Exposure to media coverage of mass violence has been shown to predict poorer mental health symptomology. However, it is unknown whether such media coverage can have ubiquitous effects on average community members, extending to biological and perceptual processes that underlie everyday decision making and behavior. Here, we used a repeated-measures design over the first anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings to track participants’ self-reported distress, their eye blink startle reactivity while viewing images of the bombings, and their ability to perceptually distinguish armed from unarmed individuals in a behavioral shooting task. We leveraged a computational linguistics method in which we sampled news content from the sources our participants most commonly self-reported reading, and then quantified both the extent of news coverage about the marathon and the affective tone of that news coverage. Results revealed that participants experienced greater current distress, greater physiological reactivity to threats, and poorer perceptual sensitivity when recent news coverage of the marathon contained more affectively negative words. This is the first empirical work to examine relationships between the media’s affective tone in its coverage of mass violence and individuals’ threat perception and physiological threat reactivity.

Early life adversity (ELA) contributes to behavioral impulsivity along with risk for substance use disorders, both accompanied by blunted stress-axis reactivity. However, the biological contributors to blunted stress reactivity are not known. We took advantage of the fact that women have significant opioid inhibition of cortisol output by using the opioid antagonist, naltrexone, to unmask opioid interactions due to ELA. We administered 50 mg of naltrexone or placebo to 72 healthy women (23 years of age) in a double-blind crossover study and observed deviations in cortisol secretion from placebo over the next 180 minutes. ELA was assessed by reported exposure to physical and sexual abuse or neglect and low socioeconomic status and scored as Low, Medium, or High (0, 1–2, and 3+). The ELA groups all had identical placebo-day cortisol secretion, indicating normal basal regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis. Cortisol rises to naltrexone were largest in the Low-ELA group and strongly blunted in the High-ELA group (F = 3.51, p = 0.035), indicating a lack of opioid function in women with high degrees of ELA. The Low-ELA women reported dysphoric responses to naltrexone (F = 4.05, p = .022) indicating a mild opioid withdrawal, an effect that was absent in the High-ELA group. Women exposed to ELA have blunted cortisol responses to naltrexone, indicating reduced opioid regulation of the stress axis. Central opioid changes may be one pathway linking ELA to blunted stress reactivity in adulthood. Lovallo WR, Acheson A, Vincent AS, Sorocco KH, Cohoon AJ.

Objectives: While patients’ health priorities should inform healthcare, strategies for doing so are lacking for patients with multiple conditions. We describe challenges to, and strategies that support, patients’ priorities-aligned decision-making. Design: Participant observation qualitative study. Setting: Primary care and cardiology practices in Connecticut. Participants: Ten primary care clinicians, five cardiologists, and the Patient Priorities implementation team (four geriatricians, physician expert in clinician training, behavioral medicine expert). The patients discussed were ≥ 66 years with >3 chronic conditions and ≥10 medications or saw ≥ two specialists. Exposure: Following initial training and experience in providing Patient Priorities Care, the clinicians and Patient Priorities implementation team participated in 21 case-based, group discussions (10 face-to-face;11 telephonic). Using emergent learning (i.e. learning which arises from interactions among the participants), participants discussed challenges, posed solutions, and worked together to determine how to align care options with the health priorities of 35 patients participating in the Patient Priorities Care pilot. Main outcomes: Challenges to, and strategies for, aligning decision-making with patient’s health priorities. Results: Categories of challenges discussed among participants included uncertainty, complexity, and multiplicity of problems and treatments; difficulty switching to patients’ priorities as the focus of decision-making; and differing perspectives between patients and clinicians, and among clinicians. Strategies identified to support patient priorities-aligned decision-making included starting with one thing that matters most to each patient; conducting serial trials of starting, stopping, or continuing interventions; focusing on function (i.e. achieving patient’s desired activities) rather than eliminating symptoms; basing communications, decision-making, and effectiveness on patients’ priorities not solely on diseases; and negotiating shared decisions when there are differences in perspectives. Conclusions: The discrete set of challenges encountered and the implementable strategies identified suggest that patient priorities-aligned decision-making in the care of patients with multiple chronic conditions is feasible, albeit complicated. Findings require replication in additional settings and determination of their effect on patient outcomes. Tinetti M, Dindo L, Smith CD, et al.

Demographic and income disparities may impact food accessibility. Research has not yet well documented the precise location of healthy and unhealthy food resources around children’s homes and schools. The objective of this study was to examine the food environment around homes and schools for all public school children, stratified by race/ethnicity and poverty status. This cross-sectional study linked data on the exact home and school addresses of a population-based sample of public school children in New York City from 2013 to all corner stores, supermarkets, fast-food restaurants, and wait-service restaurants. Two measures were created around these addresses for all children: 1) distance to the nearest outlet, and 2) count of outlets within 0.25 miles. The total analytic sample included 789,520 K-12 graders. The average age was 11.78 years (SD ± 4.0 years). Black, Hispanic, and Asian students live and attend schools closer to nearly all food outlet types than White students, regardless of poverty status. Among not low-income students, Black, Hispanic, and Asian students were closer from home and school to corner stores and supermarkets, and had more supermarkets around school than White students. The context in which children live matters, and more nuanced data is important for development of appropriate solutions for childhood obesity. Future research should examine disparities in the food environment in other geographies and by other demographic characteristics, and then link these differences to health outcomes like body mass index. These findings can be used to better understand disparities in food access and to help design policies intended to promote healthy eating among children. Elbel B, Tamura K, McDermott ZT, et al.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is one of the most frequent generalized pain disorders with poorly understood neurobiological mechanisms. This condition accounts for an enormous proportion of healthcare costs. Despite extensive research, the etiology of FM is unknown and thus, there is no disease modifying therapy available for this condition. We show that most (if not all) patients with FM belong to a distinct population that can be segregated from a control group by their glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, a surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). This was demonstrated by analyzing the data after introducing an age stratification correction into a linear regression model. This strategy showed highly significant differences between FM patients and control subjects (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0002, for two separate control populations, respectively). A subgroup of patients meeting criteria for pre-diabetes or diabetes (patients with HbA1c values of 5.7% or greater) who had undergone treatment with metformin showed dramatic improvements of their widespread myofascial pain, as shown by their scores using a pre and post-treatment numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) for evaluation. Although preliminary, these findings suggest a pathogenetic relationship between FM and IR, which may lead to a radical paradigm shift in the management of this disorder.

Background/Objectives: Antibiotic use in early life has been associated with weight gain in several populations. However, associations between chronic antibiotic use and weight among adults in the general population are unknown. Subjects/Methods: The NIEHS Sister Study is a longitudinal cohort of sisters of women with breast cancer. We examined associations between chronic antibiotic use (≥ 3 months) during the fourth decade of life (30–39 years) and subsequent obesity at enrollment (mean age = 55) via logistic regression. We also examined associations between chronic antibiotic use in the 5 years and 12 months prior to enrollment and weight gain after enrollment in linear mixed models. Models were adjusted for race/ethnicity, education, urban/rural status, age, and smoking. Results: In adjusted analyses (n = 50,237), chronic penicillin use during the 4th decade of life was associated with obesity at enrollment (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.40, 2.87), and use in the 5 years prior to enrollment was associated with increased BMI change after enrollment (β 1.00 95% CI 0.01, 2.00). Use of bactericidals (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.29, 2.26) during the 4th decade of life was also associated with obesity at enrollment. Associations for penicillins and bactericidals were consistent across indications for use. Bacteriostatic use in the 5 years prior to enrollment was associated with a reduction in BMI after enrollment (β -0.52, 95% CI -1.04, 0.00), and tetracycline use during the 4th decade of life was associated with reduced odds of obesity at enrollment (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.56, 0.92). However, these inverse associations were only present for those who reported taking antibiotics for skin purposes. Cephalosporins, macrolides, quinolones, and sulfonamides were not associated with BMI change over time. Conclusions: Chronic use of antibiotics during adulthood may have long-lasting impacts on BMI. Associations may differ by antibiotic class, and confounding by indication may be important for some antibiotic classes. Furlong M, Deming-Halverson S, Sandler DP. Chronic antibiotic use during adulthood and weight change in the Sister Study. PLoS One. 2019;14(5):e0216959. Published 2019 May 16. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0216959.

Identify the socio-economic correlates of sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among pregnant women and analyze to what extent SSB consumption is associated with diet quality and total energy intake. Additionally, we aim to predict how diet quality scores and totally energy intakes would change if SSB consumption was artificially set to 0. Design: Repeated Cross Sectional Study. Setting: United States. Subjects: SSB consumption was estimated from 1–2 24-hour dietary recalls from 1,154 pregnant women who participated in the 1999–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: Linear regression models were used to identify socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with SSB consumption and to assess the associations between SSB consumption and diet quality and total energy intake. Diet quality was measured with the Alternate Healthy Eating Index modified for Pregnancy (AHEI-P). Results: The mean SSB intake was 1.3 servings per day (sd 1.5). Having a household income ≤100% of the Federal Poverty Level, being born in the United States, and not being married or living with a partner were positively associated with SSB consumption. Every 12 oz. of SSBs consumed was associated with a 2.3 lower AHEI-P score (95% CI: 1.6, 2.9) and the consumption of 124 more calories (95% CI: 85, 163), after adjusting for age, country of birth, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, marital status, household income, survey year and day/s of the week the recall/s were collected. Our predictive models indicated that average AHEI-P would be 6.4 (5.4, 7.6) higher and average total energy intakes would be 203.5 calories (122.2, 284.8) lower if SSB intake was set to 0. Conclusions: SSB consumption is associated with poorer diet quality and higher total energy intake among pregnant women. Gamba RJ, Leung CW, Petito L, Abrams B, Laraia BA.

Eating foods prepared away from home is a popular behavior in the U S population. In 2005–2008, over a third of the daily energy intake in the U S came from foods prepared away from home. Restaurant prepared foods are known to be energy-dense, and higher in fat and sodium, but lower in protective nutrients. To our knowledge there are no published prospective studies of the association of restaurant meal exposure with the risk of cardiometabolic and all-cause mortality in the U S population. To fill these gaps, we examined the prospective association of frequency of eating restaurant prepared meals and risk of all-cause and cardiometabolic mortality in a representative sample of the U S population. Given some prior reports of adverse cardiometabolic risk biomarker profiles of frequent consumers of restaurant meals, we also examined cross-sectional associations of cardiometabolic biomarkers with frequency of eating away from home meals.

In Episode 3 we discuss a foundational technique for making innovation happen... DDP! Otherwise known as Discovery Driven Planning, or its more recent incarnation, Discovery Driven Growth, DDP is one of the tools we use to design businesses. We start the pod by describing what DDP is, and why we love it. DDP... it's totally OTT! We continue by diving deeper into the intricacies of the method by walking through a simple example, a taco truck business. You can download the spreadsheet at our King Ship blog and follow along with us: www.ideofutures.com Also, robots. To wrap up, we share this week's Venture Design That Blew Our Minds!. (VDTBOM) Joe shares how an article on the future of iced coffee helped him think about the false choice between quality and scale in a business. Diego talks about what Alex Zanardi taught him about touching the sky and the power of optimism. We hope you enjoy the discussion, as always send us your thoughts on DDP or anything else!
