Podcasts about Sludge

Our main focus today was on nudging critical care clinicians to consider a more palliative approach to care.  Our guests are all trained in critical care: Kate Courtright, Scott Halpern, and Jaspal Singh.  Kate and Scott have additional training in palliative medicine.  To start. we review: What is a nudge? Also called behavioral interventions, heuristics, and cognitive biases. Prior podcasts on the ethics of nudging, and a different trial conducted by Kate and Scott in which the default for hospitalized seriously ill patients was to receive a palliative care consult. What is sludge?  I'd never heard the term, perhaps outside of Eric's pejorative reference to my coffee after adding copious creamers, flavoring, and sweeteners.  Sludge is apparently when you create barriers or extra work for someone.  For example, putting the healthy food at the back of the grocery store is sludge; making an applicant for health insurance climb the flight of stairs to the office - weeding out those less fit - is also sludge.  Prior-auth forms? Sludge. Examples of nudges, some based in health care, others in coffee.  This specific study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, was conducted in 17 ICUs in North Carolina. Many were community hospitals.  Participants were critically ill and intubated.  Clinicians were randomized to 4 groups: Usual care Prognosis nudge - EHR prompt asking, do you think your patient will be alive in 6 months? This is called a focusing effect Comfort care nudge - EHR prompt asking if they'd offered comfort-focused care. This is called accountable justification - an appeal to standards of care for critically ill patients endorsed by multiple professional societies. Both the prognosis and comfort care nudge. A few key points of discussion: Is an EHR prompt a nudge or sludge?   The intervention was a negative study for the primary outcome, hospital length of stay.  Why?  The prognosis nudge did nothing.  What to make of that? Would you think an EHR nudge to consider prognosis might move the needle, at least on some outcomes? The nudge toward offering comfort care led to more hospice and early comfort-care orders.  Is this due to chance alone, given the multiplicity of secondary outcomes examined?  Or is it a tantalizing finding that suggests a remarkably low cost EHR based nudge might, on a population level, lead to critical care clinicians offering comfort care and hospice more frequently?  Imagine!    -Alex Smith

In this explosive 95th installment of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, Jay and Modd sit down with one of the Midwest's loudest and most inventive duos—Bronson Arm—for an unfiltered conversation that dives deep into noise rock, creative process, and the beautiful weirdness of being a two-piece powerhouse.

In this eye-opening episode, Liz and Becca break down the critical connection between your liver, gallbladder, and hormone shifts during perimenopause. They reveal why symptoms like bloating, constipation, right-side pain, and sluggish digestion often aren't just random—they're rooted in liver overload and bile dysfunction driven by fluctuating estrogen levels. You'll learn how hormonal changes impact your liver and gallbladder, what gallbladder attacks are really telling you, why sluggish bile leads to toxic buildup, and how to support your body through perimenopause, postpartum, or coming off birth control. If you've been told to “just remove your gallbladder” or think your gut issues are “normal aging,” this episode will change the way you view your symptoms—and show you how to support true root cause healing. ***

The 100th Episode: Exploring the Creative Journey of Dan CavityJoin us for an in-depth conversation with Dan Gorostiaga, a long-time member of Miami's iconic band Cavity! Dan takes us on a journey through his early days playing bass in South Florida's hardcore/punk scene with bands like Dead End, Violent Deed, Powerhouse, and Killer Kane. He shares hilarious and heartfelt stories of playing DIY shows in backyards, living rooms, and local venues like the Cameo Theater and Churchill's.Dan also dives into the pre-Cavity era, when the band was known as Crawl, and recounts the band's evolution over its 10-year span. With unprecedented detail, Dan shares memories of band line-ups, recording sessions, releases, artwork, local gigs, and touring. He also touches on his brief stints with Chickenhead, Dustraps, Kilombo, KVT1, and his current instrumental project, The Johnny 99's.Beyond music, Dan discusses his passion for art and zines, showcasing some of his favorite Cavity flyers included under his publishing venture, Hook or Crook Unlimited.

Finally. An episode that is less than 2 hours long. It helps that this week we're covering Seizures in Barren Praise by grind/crust band Trap Them. The album is only 10 tracks and 25 minutes total. Compared to the last few episodes this one just BREEZES by! It also helps that Seizures in Barren Praise by Trap Them happens to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Illegally downloading this album from some guy's blogspot page when I was 16 started a snowball effect that would alter how I listened to heavy music going forward which made this a bit of a nostalgia trip for me. We also do our best to parse through the loose plot that makes up the concept of not only this album but all of Trap Them's music up to this point. The vinyl I have here I believe is a second pressing, standard weight on ultra clear vinyl. It comes in a nice enough trifold jacket which shows off the album's full artwork done by Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon. The album sounds perfectly fine. Minimal surface noise but if we're being honest, any surface noise would get lost in the chaos of the album anyway. I picked this up a few years ago used from Pharmacy Records in Greenville which is, for my money, the best place in the upstate to find metal/punk/hardcore records. We're lucky enough to have a few decent record stores here in the upstate but if you're into heavy music at all, Pharmacy is the one you wanna go to. In the news corner this week we check in with our old pal Tim Lambesis and see what his old band members are saying about him. Hint: it's not good. We also check in with what's going on with Death Grips and Andy Morin to see what a new band member is saying about him.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for February 19th Publish Date:  February 19th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, February 19th and Happy Birthday to I’m Dan Ratcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb Plans to Start Burning Sewage Sludge Again Cobb Inmate Accused of Identity Theft Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center Gallery to Host Quilt Exhibit All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ringling Bros STORY 1: Cobb Plans to Start Burning Sewage Sludge Again Cobb County plans to spend $70 million to retrofit and reactivate sludge incinerators at the R.L. Sutton Water Reclamation Facility, addressing rising landfill costs and limited disposal options. The incinerators, decommissioned in 2015 due to stricter EPA standards, will now meet updated guidelines, reducing sludge volume by 90%. Public concerns about emissions remain, but officials emphasize stricter monitoring and compliance. Alternatives like land application face scrutiny over potential health risks, while landfill costs have surged. Construction is set to begin in 2027, with public input sessions planned to address community concerns. STORY 2: Cobb Inmate Accused of Identity Theft Stephanie Leah Cherry, 22, of Austell, is accused of using a victim's Sheriff’s Office ID to access their Inmate Detention Account at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, transferring funds to her own account between Dec. 16-25, 2024. She allegedly used the stolen funds for entertainment purchases. Cherry faces charges of identity theft and computer theft and is being held on an $8,000 bond. STORY 3: Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center Gallery to Host Quilt Exhibit The Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center in Marietta will host the East Cobb Quilters’ Guild’s “Make Your Own Masterpiece” challenge quilts exhibit from Feb. 27 to April 5. Featuring 28 quilts inspired by favorite works of art, the exhibit showcases members’ creativity and technical skills. Each quilt is accompanied by an artist’s statement detailing its inspiration. An opening reception is set for March 1, from 2 to 4 p.m., with gallery hours Monday through Saturday. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.    We’ll be right back  Break: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 4: 'A Better Parent': Cobb Jail Inmates Graduate Parenting 101 Course Nine incarcerated mothers at the Cobb Jail graduated from the Parenting 101 course, part of the Realign Restart Initiative led by Sheriff Craig Owens. The nine-week program equips parents with skills to rebuild family dynamics post-release. This largest graduating class began with 35 participants, focusing on topics like family roles, cultural influences, and parenting strategies. Graduate Faith Williams highlighted how the course helped her maintain relationships with her children while incarcerated. The initiative also offers GED programs, anger management, and more, aiming to reduce recidivism. Chief Deputy Rhonda Anderson encouraged graduates to stay present in their children’s lives. STORY 5: Georgia Gas Prices Jump Georgia's average gas price has risen to $3.00 per gallon, with Cobb County slightly higher at $3.09, up 15 cents in two weeks, according to AAA. Seasonal refinery maintenance, a switch to summer fuel blends, and a California refinery outage are contributing to the increase. State prices are 6 cents higher than a month ago but 17 cents lower than last year. The most expensive metro areas include Atlanta ($3.06), while the cheapest are in Dalton ($2.91). AAA advises drivers to save by using fuel programs, paying with cash, and maintaining efficient driving habits. Break: STORY 6: Whataburger Withdraws Application for Atlanta Road Location Whataburger has withdrawn its request for a sixth Cobb County location on Atlanta Road near I-285. The fast food chain planned to combine two properties for the site but paused to reassess traffic impacts and community-requested design changes. Local residents, including those from West Village Smyrna, opposed the proposal, citing concerns over traffic, safety, noise, and property values. They suggested changes like reorienting the building and limiting hours. While residents are pleased with the withdrawal, Whataburger may reapply in the future. The chain currently operates three Cobb locations, with two more approved but not yet built. STORY 7: Cobb Approves Lost Mountain Road Subdivision The Cobb County Board of Commissioners approved a 27-home subdivision on Lost Mountain Road in a 4-0 vote. Traton Homes will develop the 40.5-acre lot, with 18 of the homes on the southern half requiring rezoning. Homes will range from 2,000 to 3,589 square feet, offering more affordable and varied housing options. To address neighbors' concerns, Traton agreed to a 50-foot buffer, a vinyl-coated chain link fence, and stormwater management measures. Commissioner Keli Gambrill praised the compromise, noting it was a better fit than previous proposals for the area.

2025. gada ģeovieta ir Latvijā augstākā kāpa – Pūsēnu kalns. Tā atrodas Nīcas pagastā, un savulaik tā daļēji tika norakta, veidojot karjeru. Ko šādas vietas stāsta par seniem procesiem Latvijas teritorijā? Cik tālu sauszemē iestiepjas kāpas un ko šādas ģeovietas pasaka par cilvēka darbību? Raidījumā Zināmais nezinājamā sarunājas Latvijas Universitātes Eksakto zinātņu un tehnoloģiju fakultātes asociētais profesors Ģirts Stinkulis, Daugavpils universitātes asociētais profesors Juris Soms un vides gids, kurš pats arī dzīvo Nīcas pagastā, Andris Maisiņš. Pūsēnu kalns ir viena no kāpām, kas ietilpst Papes-Jūrmalciema-Bernātu kompleksajā kāpu grēdā. Šajā grēdā izšķir divus – Papes-Jūrmalciema un Jūrmalciema-Bernātu kāpu posmus. Šos posmus pa vidu pārrauj aptuveni 1,5 km garš pārpūsto smilšu iecirknis, kas izveidojies pirms vairāk nekā 300 gadiem pēc mežu izciršanas un ugunsgrēka. Abus kāpu posmus raksturo gar jūras krastu paralēli esošu kāpu grēda, kas ir veidojusies pēdējo Baltijas jūras stadiju laikā. Dziļāk sauszemē seko otrs kāpu valnis, kas ir vēja deformēto parabolisko un tām līdzīgo kāpu grēda. Šīs kāpas tiek saistītas ar Litorīnas jūras stadiju, un tās norobežojušas lagūnu joslu līdzenumu no jūras. No kāpas virsotnes karjera nogāzes pusē paveras lielisks skats uz apkārtējo ainavu – pāri pamestajai karjera teritorijai un apmežotai piejūras kāpu joslai redzama jūra. Gada ģeovietas nosaukums tiek piešķirts ar mērķi pievērst sabiedrības uzmanību Latvijas īpašajiem ģeoloģiskajiem veidojumiem un to problēmām, sniegt par tiem informāciju, rosināt vietas tālāku izpēti, atjaunošanu, sakopšanu un labiekārtošanu. Plānots, ka publisks izglītojošs pasākums, kas veltīts Latvijas 2025. gada ģeovietai, notiks pie Gada ģeovietas oktobra sākumā, kad pasaulē atzīmē Ģeodaudzveidības dienu. Bet vispirms vēl vienu šī gada varoni – gada koku. Šis gods ticis gobai.  Iemesls nominācijai ir ne pārāk iepriecinošs, jo gobu skaits Latvijā samazinās šo koku kaites ietekmē – tā sauktās Gobu Holandes slimības dēļ. Vairāk par gada koku un to, kā gobu atšķirt gobu no tās radinieces vīksnas, stāsta Latvijas dendrologu biedrības pārstāvis Gvido Leiburgs. Latvijas Dendrologu biedrība par Gada koku 2025 izvēlējusies parasto gobu, izceļot šī koka nozīmīgumu un pievēršot uzmanību arvien aktuālajai gobu Holandes slimības izplatībai. Gobas mūsdienās ir apdraudētas gan individuālu koku, gan mežaudžu līmenī. Parastā goba ir majestātisks vasarzaļš gobu dzimtas koks, kas savvaļā sastopams visā Latvijas teritorijā – tā teikts biedrības izplatītājā paziņojumā. Taču šobrīd gobu nemaz tik daudz nav, jo Pēc Valsts meža dienesta 2023. gada datiem mežaudzes, kur valdošā koku suga ir goba vai vīksna, ir tikai 0,07% no visiem Latvijas mežiem. Un te vainīga ir jau minētā slimība, kad sadarbojoties sēnei ar tādu vaboli kā gremzdgrauzi, koki nokalst. Pirms aplūkojam sīkāk šo koku bojāejas cēloni, koku eksperts un Latvijas dendrologu biedrības pārstāvis Gvido Leiburgs stāsta, kā var atšķirt abas gobu ģintij piederošās sugas, proti, gobu un vīksnu, kas ir visai līdzīgas pēc izskata. Savukārt raidījuma ievadā savā grāmatplauktā ļauj ielūkoties pētnieks Andris Saulītis. Latvijas Universitātes Filozofijas un socioloģijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Andris Saulītis iepazīstina ar amerikāņu jurisprudences pētnieka Kesa Sanstīna grāmatu par birokrātiju un to, kas tajā ir analītiski maināms. (Cass R. Sunstein. "Sludge. What Stops Us from Getting Things Done and What to Do about It"). Tās latviskais nosaukums varētu būt "Šķēršļi, kas aptur mūs paveikt lietas un ko ar to iesākt". Šis populārzinātniskais darbs apliecina, ka pārmaiņas likumos var panākt, dažādu nozaru pārstāvjiem sadarbojoties. Interesentiem pieejama gan drukātā versija, gan elektroniskā versija.

Bandcamp Links to all of the bands plus full reviews are here  https://www.anointingthesick.com/It's difficult to shoehorn a whole years music into a two hour 'Best Of' Playlist but you have to draw the line somewhere so here's 16 bands whose new albums caused such a stir that it prompted me to review them. There are a couple of anomalies. Fireblood feature twice due to the band releasing 2 EP's in a year and Atomic Hand is actually a two band project Iglesia Atomica and Out Of Hand. Unusually one band plays psych jams the other brutal deathgrind. Both sides of this live album are great! ~ Embrace The Sickness ~Black Groove"Contains seven tracks of sluggish, de tuned, sludge caked hatred"CannabusThe fuzz is still thick  but edged with barbs, pierced by blazing reverb and wah both shrieking in agony.Fireblood"The no frills, hard hitting, clunky riffs easily loosen the neck muscles, enabling the listener to bang their head with wild abandon to the sludge leaden groove."Sun Moon Holy Cult"Citing influences from bands such as Black Sabbath, WitchFinder General, Acid King and Belzebong"Severed Arm"A purulent discharge of infected blackened sludge doom"Demon & Eleven Children"Riffs are mighty, and the multitude of jams have been dipped in the same vat of acid"Wormthrone"Here lurks a suffocating, toxic album, spewing forth sulphurous riffs from a fermenting tarpit."Bleed This Earth"Straddling the the various emotions of despair between My Dying Bride and Mournful Congregation"Sangria"'Esclavo de la Ira' has a darker, enraged sound to it, reminding me of Triptykon in parts."Atomic Hand ( Iglesia Atomica & Out Of Hand)Iglesia Atomica ~A constant chatter of barbed jams squeal and shriek from the speakers. Out Of Hand ~ "spits deathgrind of the most poisonous kind."Vulgarian"Hateful sludge bloated with the DNA of slow, stagnant doom"Harsh Realm"A coagulate of unemotional death doom encapsulated in a bloody crust."Volume"Joy of Navigation' is the band's latest album and contains five songs of immersive psychedelic stoner."Sea Of Snakes"There is an abundance of riffs, huge and full of depth for the listener to revel in."Pyrogaric"Pyrogaric is back with more Welsh stoner doom Druidry"Monolithic Architecture"a raw and devastating bombardment of drone infused doom"
