In the 891st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England talk about that viral knockout punch between two poker players at Red Rock in Las Vegas. See the video and learn what the Las Vegas Metro Police Department had to say when reached by PokerNews. Also, learn about a controversy from the EPT Monte Carlo final table in which Aleksandr Shevliakov, who won the tournament, allegedly shot an angle with six players remaining. It caused quite the stir on the live stream, but was it all as it seemed? Shevliakov took to social media to share his perspective, and let's just say it led to an interesting discussion between the crew. From there, it's recent tournament winners including Jesse Lonis, Maria Konnikova, and Valentin Vornicu; a preview of the WSOP+ App and Tournament of Champions; Allen Kessler living the life of a tournament floorman; and Chad's live reality game charity drive featuring a special "Burger of the Week" at Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon's Player's Bar in Madison, Wisconsin.

In this episode, we talk to Dr Sahar Pahlavanyali, a doctor and PhD candidate based at the Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Bergen in Norway. Title of paper: Continuity and breaches in GP care and their associations with mortality for patients with chronic disease: an observational study using Norwegian registry dataAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0211There is a growing body of evidence on advantages of continuity, and a GP personal list is believed to be one of the positive measures to improve continuity, though not much researched. In a Norwegian setting with GP personal lists, we investigated the associations between GP continuity and mortality for patients with different chronic diseases. Our results showed that lower GP continuity was associated with increased risk of death, but the association was not significantly different for patients with the same RGP compared with those with different RGPs. This study suggests that high informational and management continuity provided by a GP personal list might lower and compensate for the adverse effects when changing GP.

Abstract: Radial glial progenitors (RGPs) are highly elongated epithelial cells that give rise to most stem cells, neurons, and glia, in the vertebrate cerebral cortex. During development, the RGP nuclei exhibit a striking pattern of cell cycle-dependent oscillatory movements known as interkinetic nuclear migration (INM), which we previously found to be mediated during G1 by the kinesin Kif1a, and during G2 by cytoplasmic dynein, recruited to the nuclear envelope by the nucleoporins RanBP2 and Nup133. We now identify Nup153 as a nucleoporin anchor for Kif1a, responsible for G1-specific basal nuclear migration, providing a complete model for the mechanisms underlying this basic, but mysterious behavior, with broad implications for understanding brain development.

Rob and Tim joined us to discuss their upcoming campaign, the world-building behind it, and whether the recent changes to the OGL will affect it. We also talk about their personal opinions on the changes to the OGL.Here's a sample of the full show notes - make sure to click through and check them out.Content WarningWe talk about the recent (at the time of recording) changes to the Open Game License (or OGL) in this episode, and both Rob and Tim have very closely held opinions about those recent changes. They are two very passionate table-top gamers, and we wanted to keep their opinions on the matter in-tact. The only editorialising we did was bleep the odd swear word - of which there were only two or three.Please listen responsibly.Show NotesJay covered the intro in this episode:From active timer battling to zombie slaying, Waffling Taylors covers all kinds of gaming and beyond.This week we were joined bit Rob and Tim of Gold Mountain Gamers to talk about their new TTRG campaign "The Saltreach Isles" and how they went about creating it.It's important to note that we recorded this episode during the height of the changes to the OGL (or Open Gaming License) from Wizards of the Coast. This is the backbone of Dungeons & Dragons and Dungeons and Dragons-like content, and the changes brought about by Wizards of the Coast brought about a LOT of backlash from the community; which we talked about.Also, unfortunately Squidge was ill when we recorded episode, so he's not in this one. But I talked with both Rob and Tim afterwards, and they are more than happy to come back to the show and talk both Squidgey and myself through their updates as they continue their world building and production of "The Saltreach Isles"- JayGold Mountain GamesA discussion about Gold Mountain Games, their table-top RGPs and the personal thoughts of both Tim and Rob on the recent changes to the OGL couldn't have happened without first discussing what Gold Mountain Games are and what they do:Yeah, absolutely cool. We've got a couple of one shots out and we've also got a settings book. We can go into a bit more detail about that later on, I think, but yeah table-top RPGs is what we do.- RobBut they're not just another TTRPG company, as Tim explained:And we like to approach everything from a very professional mindset. Right. So as much as we're all still fans that are playing the games and really wanting to make this a fully realized company and everything else, we're still working with artists and writers on professional, contract level work in order to make certain that our visions are as clear and concise and as awe inspiring as possible for the end users once they get the products.- TimBut what about the people behind Gold Mountain Games? First Rob:I'm Rob. I'm the owner and executive director of Gold Mountain Games.I've been playing tabletop RPGs for about a decade. I've been - before that, I was massively into the boardgame scene. I set up one of the biggest boardgame clubs in the UK. I've got a boardgame tattooed on me. I've got my favourite fantasy author tattooed on me. I'm a mega geek and tabletop RPGs have been a large part of my life and kind of formed a lot of my friendships and helped me with lots of troubles in my life. And I just think they're great and I wanted to give back some of that awesomeness.- RobAnd Tim:So my name is Tim. I am one of the directors at Gold Mountain Games.My primary function is the business and the sales. The marketing, the business side of it actually my day job, if you want to call it that. Heavy quotes there is. I work within the gaming industry during the day. I'm actually a sales representative at Cryptozoic Entertainment and I also do contract work for other companies.So it's funny, when Rob actually reached out to me the first time, I was just like, "yeah, I want to do some writing." And then we got to talking, I was like, "oh wait, no, we need this slot filled more for a lot." So for folks out there, what I do is the boring corporate stuff, but it's also very necessary stuff for when we get to the point of getting the products out there, really letting them shine.- TimWhat's The Saltreach Isles Isles All About?Discussion turned to that of their new campaign (due out soon) called "The Saltreach Isles", and it's amazing just how much world-building the team at Gold Mountain Games has put into this campaign:The Saltreach Isles is a massive archipelago world. We've got 24 islands ranging from kind of big central, kind of multiple kind of species and empires on them. We've got tiny little islands that have a one group may occupy more than one of them.It came about really from there isn't really a setting for D&D - which is what it was written for - there isn't one that kind of takes in the scope and the differences that you get in kind of island nations and archipelagos. And I think it gave us this really interesting mechanism we could use with kind of over time, the islands breaking up from a - I forget the word now - a Pangaea, one big continent. So a lot of the world is tied into kind of the evolution of the planet as a whole.We've got Gods that aren't really Gods. We've got real kind of unique takes on a lot of the species that people would be used to from DnD. And we've also added orcs, trolls and goblins because I love me a green skin. I think they're all great. My very first Warhammer were orcs back when I was like 12 or 13 and I've just loved them ever since.But one of the things I really wanted to do is I wanted to bring them kind of into the modern age. I wanted to get rid of this idea that they are unintelligent roots who kill and maim for fun. That had its place. I think the Middle earth needed its bad guys and the orcs were amazing. However, I wanted to do something more interesting with them.- RobWhilst the game uses the typical creatures and species you might find in most DnD fantasy campaigns, the team have spent the time to really think about why the creatures should exist:And for me, I really wanted to do everything I could to make certain that they felt like there was a reason for them being in this world other than like, hey, I made a monster throw it against your players. Every creature I wrote has a reason for being there.- TimAnd Rob went on to talk about how they are creating deep culture and lore around the histories of the different species, and the factions within them. The team behind the game have also thought very clearly about diversity and inclusion in creating this campaign...one of the other things we've tried to do, and I think we've been very successful with it, is we've tried to be very open and accepting and inclusive with our writing.We have very many kind of NPCs named characters, some of the Gods as well. They're male, female, and they/them. Inclusivity is really important to us as a company, right? Whether that's because of life choices, whether that's because of religion, whether that's because of disability; whatever it is, I think it's really important that everyone gets the chance to play who they want to be in a game.So that's kind of that's influenced a lot of our decision making through it, especially because we're not writing a kind of Eurocentric or Western centric setting, we've kind of made sure that we've talked to people from cultures similar to the one in the Saltreach Isles. And so that's been I've learnt some amazing things and we've got one of our writers, actually South American, and there's a lot of influences from their culture within the monsters and some truly terrifying creatures from folklore from around the world that we brought in.- RobFull Show NotesMake sure to check out the full show notes for more discussion on the points we raise, some extra meta-analysis, and some links to related things.Have you listened to Nomad's podcast?

In this episode Dr. Steven Suh interviews Dr. Katie Wulff, an optometrist, about a specialty gas-permeable contact lens called scleral lenses. Some people have abnormal corneal curvatures and irregularities which make it difficult for them to see even with glasses or soft contact lenses. Stephen Curry, an NBA star with the Golden State Warriors, wears scleral lenses because of his corneal condition called keratoconus. Rigid gas-permeable contacts (RGP) and scleral contact lenses have a smooth, spherical, and hard surface which will neutralize these irregular “hills and valleys” on one’s cornea. The reason soft contact lenses do not work as well is because they “mold” onto these corneas and do not vault over them, thus replicating the abnormal curvature. Regular RGPs can be helpful in many cases but they have limitations. Scleral lenses do not sit on the cornea like RGPs but sit on the white part of the eye (sclera) so they are usually more comfortable. Scleral contact lenses can help maximize vision in patients with these corneal conditions:KeratoconusPellucid marginal degenerationEctasia (abnormal corneal warpage and thinning) after LASIK surgeryCorneal scarringSevere dry eyesAfter corneal transplantsCorneal irregularities after radial keratotomy (RK)Scleral lenses are much larger than standard rigid gas-permeable and soft lenses. Since they are customized for each patient’s eye, several visits are needed to ensure that the lens is fitting properly. Inserting these lenses onto the cornea may be much more difficult than other types of contacts. Because of their potential to restore sight in many of these patients, these specialty lenses can help delay or avoid the need for corneal cross-linking or corneal transplantation.Here is another article on scleral lenses.To find out more about Dr. Katie Wulff and her practice, go to Comprehensive EyeCare of Central Ohio’s website or Facebook page.This is intended for informational and educational purposes only, and nothing in this podcast/blog is to be considered as recommending or rendering medical advice or treatment to a specific patient.

Outward est un jeu de rôle de type "Survie" ou "Simulateur d'aventure" assez hors des normes habituelles des RGPs conventionnels. Mis au monde par le petit studio Québécois Nine Dots Studio, Outward propose une aventure très profonde, plus particulièrement au niveau de ses mécaniques de jeu complexes et frôlant la simulation d'aventure.Au premier coup d’œil, Outward donne l'impression d'être un jeu non poli, surtout en raison de ses graphismes semblant dater de la dernière génération (pour la version console et non PC). Mais en faisant fi des quelques points négatifs qui sautent au visage, on découvre rapidement une richesse et une intelligence incroyable dans les mécaniques de jeu du bébé de Nine Dots.Je m'y suis presque fait prendre moi-même, ayant pré-enregistré deux critiques, avant de raviser ma position sur le titre et rendre CETTE critique officielle, avec un pointage plus élevé qu'à ma première analyse...Donnez-vous le temps et embarquez dans l'idéologie différente que les gens de Nine Dots Studio avaient en tête, et vous découvrirez qu'Outward est d'une profondeur presque démentielle!--------------Merci à Nine Dots Studio, Deep Silver et Maximum Games qui nous ont gratuitement fourni une copie du jeu afin d'en faire la critique. L'éditeur/développeur nous autorise également à diffuser le contenu du jeu sans restrictions et n'intervient aucunement dans l'attribution de la note finale. #Article13 #SaveYourInternet--------------Pour nous suivre sur nos autres plateformes: ► Site web officiel: http://m2gaming.ca/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/m2gaming/ ► Twitter: @M2Gaming ► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/m2gamingcanada

New section, listener submitted images. Lots of people submitted images. Thank you! Tim Lawson, Eli Temchin, Linda Maier, Alyce Bender, Jon Whitaker, Colin Mayer, Chris Bartell, Benjamin Stuben Farrar, Mike Sirach, Joe Vargas, John Scane.  The images I’m choosing are from Colin Mayer. This image is from St. Kilda, Scotland. I really was drawn to this image because it somewhat made me think of the beehive huts in Ireland. But not really. These are quite a bit different. Anyway, the rock texture really comes through well in the foreground building. The entryway is small and you’d have to nearly crawl in it seems. There’s moss or grass or peat on the roof as well and that’s cool, it gives a certain ambiance that is nice and authentic feeling. There’s buildings that are somewhat blurry in the background. They provide a nice background. And behind them there’s more hovels like this foreground element and then in the mid-ground there’s a rock wall that connects to another little moss-covered room. Pretty much the only thing I’d change about this image is the heavy vignette. I think this image needs a vignette, but it needs to be less heavy and probably it should have a custom application as well. You can do this in Lightroom or PS where you brush in the vignette right where you want it. The lower right corner feels a bit empty and that’s probably OK. An image usually benefits from having some negative space. The DOF is small or shallow enough to keep the attention on the foreground building that we don’t really need to worry about the background elements distracting too much. They provide a good stage for the whole scene. Eli Temchin submitted one of an elephant. It’s B&W as well, and it’s quite striking. I love the texture coming through in the skin of the elephant. We see enough of the creature to certainly know what it is, but we only see a small portion of this beast, and that’s a good thing. By zooming in we’re looking more at shapes and forms to communicate the subject, but they are impartial shapes and forms. It’s not complete. This leaves more for the brain to figure out and work on. It’s good that way. There’re two things I’d likely change to this image. I think I’d move the camera slightly more to the left. In the view as it currently is, we almost see the second eye. This leaves a bit too much negative space in the forehead/trunk area. By moving it, we’d have more of the shoulder area on the left side of the frame showing and the eye would be pulled out of the center of the frame. It’s almost in the horizontal center and by moving it a bit to the right we’ll create a bit more tension in the image. Also, the depth-of-field feels a touch too shallow for me on this one. The eye feels slightly soft. But we’d want to keep the crustiness on the front of the face too, so a bit more DOF is needed to accomplish that. Linda Maier submitted one of ice on Yosemite Creek.  I decided to also add this image because, well, the ice is likely to soon be melting and I’m really glad to see a good image like this coming together, and that the effort was put in to get out there in this weather and be inspired by what we see. This looks like a mini river flowing from left to right for me. It’s got a great starting point in the upper left corner with some strong elements pointing down and a bit to the right. As the eye travels down the ripples in the ice take over and they bring you off to the right side of the image. There’s a lot of chaos in this image too. I’d say the ice pattern is stronger than texture in this image. But texture certainly does come through nicely. There’s some grasses on the lower portion of the frame that provide context of location. It’s fairly high contrast with lots of highlights and lots of shadow areas and the lines are just squiggling all over the place. One change I’d make on this image would be to crop the rock element out of the top portion of the frame. I find it a bit distracting and letting the ice go off to “nothing” as it were would suggest a larger icefield. Leaving the edge unresolved like that forces the mind to fill in the blanks. Don’t think of it as lying. Think of it as eliciting the imagination! Thanks again to everyone who submitted images. I love it.  Next topic for listener images The topic this next time is the color red. However red manifests itself in your image, that’s what I’m looking for.  A Quick Announcement/Reminder Before we get to the main topic, I wanted to cover something that recently came up in the Master Photography listener group. I’ll likely make a mention there as well to try and ensure everyone is aware of this. That is, a listener asked us why things were so quiet over there at the IP websites. Especially the IP+ website. I’ve also had a listener ask about the rGPS app that was also published by IP. As far as the app is concerned I was able to contact Jim Harmer a while a go and he gave me a bit of info I can share. Basically the question was, “will it get updated anytime soon?” I don’t recall the exact question from the listener, but that was the main point. They liked the app, but wanted to see some updates happening. Jim stated that he’s buried in other projects but he’d “REALLY” like to do more with it. He also pointed out that there’s so much good data in it that has been added by users. But with the other projects it’s not going to receive any attention in the near future at least. The most recent listener concern was regarding IP+. The biggest thing to ensure everyone is clear on is that there’s no formal business relationship between IP+ and myself, and as far as I know, none of the other podcasters in the Master Photography group either. I contributed one video on camera cleaning and tripod cleaning when I first came on as a contributor. But any videos produced were “one-time” deals and for the last few years I’ve been focusing my efforts on providing my own solutions. Most of you know about the print course I’m developing. That’s still on schedule for an early April release. I’m striving for April 2. I’ll be spending my spring break on finshing it up and getting it ready for everyone. But I continue to spend pretty much each Friday and Sunday getting content produced either for the podcast or this course. And it’s been about three weeks since I last published an episode, so you know where my attention has been going JMe being quiet does not mean I’m taking it easy, that’s for sure! If you’re an IP+ member and you want to know more, I’m afraid I won’t have any answers for you. With that, let’s get on to the main topic. I’m going to blend in the idea of reading the light and making the most out of your shoot as I talk a bit about my trip to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. For the details on this part of the show, please check out this blog post on my main site.

This episode features John Arcadian. John is the Chief Gnome in residence at Gnome stew. During this interviews we discuss John's early days in RGPs, the bloody coup that resulted in him being the head Gnome, and what he thinks the future of tabletop content will look like.
