Soundtrack of our lives
There is a universal language in the world, which exceeds the barriers that are found within our understanding of communication. It does not value the polarized mindset. It connects with the individual mind, and is expressed with pure emotion, rather than descriptive expressions of a verbal or written value. The music we enjoy is the soundtrack of our lives, and will always provide the feeling of home no matter where you are.
These are each songs that place me in a different time throughout my life. Some of which are highlights of good days, and some are from the negative lessons, which occur in life. Music gives us the ability to connect with our true feelings without explicit explaination, or the concerns of the thoughts of others.

Nolan Miller's Story
All babies spit up.
That's what Nolan Miller's parents thought after they brought him home Sept. 20, 2003, two days after he was born. But Nolan wasn't just spitting up a little milk. Nolan was vomiting. Constantly. Then he stopped having bowel movements.
"He took a bottle and it all came right back up," said Nolan's father, Matthew. "Then it kept coming."
A systems engineer for Methodist Hospital, Matthew telephoned a local hospital. The service's on-call pediatrician advised that he and his wife, Amy, take Nolan to the emergency room. Still vomiting after they arrived, Nolan was kept in the emergency room while physicians conducted a series of tests.
"That was one of the longest nights in our lives," Matthew said.
Nolan was admitted and the battery of tests continued, yet still no cause was found. Various diagnoses were considered but none was a clear-cut answer. Nolan was placed in full isolation at the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Two days and more tests passed and still no answer.
"They told us the tests showed nothing wrong," Matthew said. "They told us to prepare ourselves . . . that we were going to lose him."
Matthew and Amy refused to give up hope.
Acting on the advice of a friend, they requested a call be put in to a local pediatric neurologist, who spent all night reviewing Nolan's test results before suggesting the attending physicians reevaluate exploratory surgery. A pediatric surgeon was brought in, and the operation revealed that Nolan was suffering from Necrotizing Entrocolitis (NEC), a rare condition that most often affects premature babies (Nolan was full-term) and had escaped detection on the X-rays and previous tests.
With Necrotizing Entrocolitis, bacteria had begun to eat away at Nolan's small bowel. The formula he was fed would go only so far into his bowel, then be forced back up, causing him to continuously vomit.
The diseased bowel was removed and the Millers were advised a second surgery in six to eight weeks would be needed to see if the bowel portion that remained had healed. During that second surgery, doctors found the bowel had not healed and additional small bowel was removed. Nolan was left with approximately 34 cm of his small bowel - approximately one-fifth of the 150 cm he had at birth.
The resulting condition, known as Short Bowel (Gut) Syndrome, required that Nolan be fed 24/7 via a gastrostomy tube and a second central line for Total Parenteral Nutrition - a fluid mixture that can include a combination of sugar and carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, electrolytes and trace elements. Because TPN bypasses the stomach and liver, dependence upon it for a prolonged period of time can lead to liver damage or failure.
Though his vomiting continued, the rate of his feedings was gradually increased, and Nolan was released from the hospital Dec. 22, 2003.
At 9 a.m. the following day, Nolan and the Millers, exhausted from the first night at home dealing with feeding pumps and continued vomiting, met with the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program team at Nebraska Medicine.
The Millers found that everyone in the room shared a common goal - to one day wean Nolan off TPN and the feedings.
And that gave them hope.
Whether the cause is disease or massive surgical resections due to any of a number of conditions, children and adults with small bowel syndrome or intestinal failure are more than uncomfortable.
They can't eat.
TPN and gastrostomy or G-tube feedings are treatments but they aren't to be considered permanent solutions - unless there is no alternative.
Determining and implementing the options is the role of the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program team at Nebraska Medicine.
David Mercer, MD, PhD, is a transplant surgeon and researcher at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and also serves as Director of the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program at Nebraska Medicine. Along with his colleagues, including other transplant surgeons and gastrointestinal specialists, the team works to restore enteral autonomy and to decrease dependence on TPN through diet, medicine and/or surgery. The program is among the few comprehensive centers in the United States to offer a complete range of medical and surgical interventions for the management of adult and pediatric patients with complex intestinal disorders.
"The greatest strength of our program is the people," Dr. Mercer said. "We have assembled a simply outstanding, dedicated group of health-care professionals who all have the common goal of helping children and adults with short bowel syndrome. Everyone is absolutely committed and passionate about what we do."
The family-centered care that is the core of the program has helped attract parents of infants and small children from around the country. "I can only imagine how frightening it must be for parents when they hear their child has short bowel," Dr. Mercer said. "We're here to help people understand that there is hope, great hope for what we can do to help their children. We all have families of our own, and we treat all our children in intestinal rehab as if they were our own."
Once patients contact UNMC, they quickly become very familiar with Nurse Coordinators Brandi Gerhardt and Jenna Kopp and Clinical Dieticians Brandy Sunderman and Becky Weseman. All have world-class expertise in managing complex care issues associated with short bowel patients. Together, they form the backbone of the program and interact with patients and their families regularly, and sometimes even daily.
"If there's one thing I could pass on to patients' families," Dr. Mercer said. "It's that we will make sure they are comfortable with all the issues surrounding the health of their children no matter how long that takes, and that they will be very involved in everything we do. They will always feel supported. They are a critical part of the team and we'll all work together to help their children be as healthy and independent as they can be. This is our pledge."
At the very first meeting with the intestinal rehabilitation team, the Millers knew they were in the right place.
"They were really optimistic about Nolan," Amy said, "and we needed to hear that."
In an attempt to reduce the vomiting, an adjustment was made to Nolan's feedings and the Millers were sent home, told to come back again the next morning.
"They asked us right away how the night had been and we said, 'better,'" Matthew recalled. "They said, 'Good. We didn't have you back as much for Nolan today as we had you back for you. If you hadn't said it had gotten better, we were going to admit all of you to the Nebraska House so you could get the nursing care and rest you need to get you all back on your feet.'"
Matthew still marvels at the memory. "That showed us they had all of our best interests at heart and had truly taken an interest in our case."
The team's personal care and concern persisted as Nolan was slowly weaned from TPN.
"The greatest thing about the team is that they've always been available to us," Amy said. "We've called them at all hours and they're always there for us. They showed us they trusted us to take him home and take care of him."
The team gradually increased the feeds though the g-line or "button" into Nolan's stomach, weaning him from the nutrients provided by the TPN until it was "nothing but saline," Matthew said.
Initially told to expect their son to be on TPN for at least five years, the team removed the TPN line when he was 13 months old.
"It just blew us away," Matthew said. "It gave us a greater sense of hope. This team knew us, they knew him and they had a plan."
Nolan started eating solid foods when he was about 2 1/2 years old and hasn't stopped since, preferring fruits and vegetables over candy, his parents say.
Today, he looks no different from any boy approaching his fourth birthday. The only signs that remain are hidden beneath his T-shirt - a horizontal scar and the g-button through which he receives feedings each day.
That, too, will one day change - if his parents have their wish. "Even though his hydration will always be an issue," Amy said. "Our goal is to have him off his feeds at age 5."
The Millers enjoy sharing their son's story, hoping it will help provide encouragement and inspiration to other parents of children who suffer from NEC and short bowel syndrome. And, they do their best to spread the word about the care and treatment they experienced through the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program.
Matthew tells the story of a recent visit he and Nolan made to Nebraska Medicine. There in the clinic waiting room were a couple and two mothers. Their babies were being fed through tubes and TPN lines.
"They looked tired and scared," Matthew said. "I had to think, they must look like how Amy and I looked when all this started. So I told them, 'You're in the right place.'
"They asked me how I knew, so I lifted Nolan's shirt and showed them his feeding button. They were amazed and went on and on about how he looked healthy and happy just like any other child.
"Right when they were thinking everything is bad and going downhill fast, here they could see what this team could do for them. They could see there really is hope."
That's important. Because, for the Millers and the dozens of parents like them, seeing is truly believing.

NONLINEAR DYNAMIC ABSORBER TO REDUCE VIBRATION IN HAND-HELD IMPACT MACHINES
Paper i proceeding, 2015
Hand-held impact machines have been used since the early 20th century. Up to day still a little has been changed in their fundamental design. Despite them being robust and efficient,vibration, noise, dust and poor ergonomics cause a large number of injuries to the operators, especially in the stone industry. In this paper, vibration dynamics of a pneumatic hand-held impact machine (HHIM) equipped with a nonlinear tuned vibration absorber (NLTVA) is in focus. The considered HHIM has the same parameters as the existing conventional one with respect to piston weight, impact energy and operating frequency. The paper presents the mathematical and computational models of vibration dynamics of the HHIM with NLTVA as well as the experimental set-up developed for model validation. The advantage of using a nonlinear spring is shown and how the effective vibration reduction frequency of the NLTVA can be made to follow the excitation frequency and thereby in principal achieving the
same conditions as is the case for tuned pendulum absorbers for torsional vibrations where the resonance frequency follows the engine order. Using the verified and validated computational model, the sensitivity analysis of vibration dynamics has been performed in a broad set of feasible operational scenarios with respect to structural parameters of the HHIM equipped with NLTVA. Sensitivity analysis results have formed the base for optimisation of the parameters of NLTVA. It was shown by simulations as well as it was proved by experiment that the vibration of the HHIM equipped with NLTVA can be reduced significantly in a broader range of operating frequencies compared to the vibration of the same machine equipped with linear tuned vibration absorber. The results obtained confirm the possibility to design a user friendly low vibration impact machine efficiently operating in a broad frequency range. Optimised NLTVA combined with vibration isolation has shown to significantly reduce the vibration on the operator.

No need to have fresh fruit on hand to pull together this classic cobbler. Canned apple or peach pie filling form a sweet base, and dried cranberries add just the right touch of tang.
"My mother always let me help out in the kitchen when I was a girl, and the first thing I ever remember making was peach crisp. I was about three years old at the time. Mama would pour the peaches out into a baking dish and mix up the crisp topping, then let me be the one who sprinkled it over the peaches. At supper that night everyone would go on and on about how Christy made the best peach crisp they'd ever had! I was so proud. So of course when I had my own children, it was the first recipe I taught them as well." - Christy Jordan
Since it is so dear to all of us for this reason, we love to package the topping mix up and give it as gifts so that others can enjoy special baking time with their families. I like to let my kids make it up as gifts for their teachers. To make it even more fun, we make our own labels for store-bought canned fruit "Brady's Yummy Peaches" or "Katy’s Rose Pears." I let the kids color them in and tape them around the can. We all form an assembly line and make up batches of fruit crisp mix, placing it in resealable food-storage plastic bags, then we cut pieces of cloth with pinking shears and wrap it around to tie with ribbons. This makes a pretty basket.
For package ideas and personalized gift tags visit www.southernplate.com
Package the topping mix in a resealable food-storage bag and give as a gift with two cans of pie filling. This is a great way to teach children how good it feels to give from their heart and their own two hands, plus it allows the receiver some special baking time with their family.

The concept for the renovation of an incomplete building in a prestigious district of Moscow proposed by APEX will help to convert it into an advanced, high-grade complex of apartments with gorgeously designed facades, comfortable layouts and developed public function on lower floors. Owing to its considerable height (19 storeys) and memorable architecture, the building will become a landmark in Presnensky Val Street.
Presnensky val 21
20 500 m²
The colonnade forms the main cubage of the higher floors. Recessed balconies with frameless glazing are brought to the fore to allow the use of less expensive main glazing for apartments, while retaining the integrity of the architectural solution.
With their maximum response to “sliding” shadows, window apertures and balconies make the facade plastics very expressive. The slanting faces of the slopes allow the facade to glimmer throughout the day.
FACADE’S BASIC FEATURES
The lower atrium is transparent to the maximum possible extent and open for a link with the street. The combined floors decrease the height visually and make proportions more stylish.
The facade material, casement proportions and wrought fencing — everything is intended to create a maximum relationship with a residential building.
Few as they are, the balconies determine the building typology for viewers. The balconies are accent marks as they are lined with stainless steel creating a play of reflexes.
The relief of the front facade partitions creates a “velveteen”, cosy effect that a residential building needs. The solution allows the use both of expensive facade materials (such as clinker bricks) and less expensive clinker thermal tiles or fibre-cement elements imitating bricks.

Dubai World: A great precedent
The Dubai World default is big news — big enough that it’s even made it into Gawker. Your one-stop shop for bloggy coverage this Thanksgiving is Alphaville, which features for instance this wonderful chart of the debt structure which is now being crawled over by lawyers around the world.
Personally, I’m quite happy about this default, since it sets another very useful precedent of a state-owned company defaulting on its debt. Historically investors in state-owned companies have perceived an implicit sovereign guarantee — there’s even a German word for it, Anstaltslast. The result is a huge and unhelpful moral-hazard trade.
So it’s great that the government of Dubai has made it clear that Dubai World’s lenders aren’t going to be automatically bailed out by the sovereign, despite the fact that the government has hundreds of billions of dollars in its sovereign wealth fund*. Would that Treasury will follow suit when it comes to the creditors of state-owned companies like AIG.
*Update: As my commenters have pointed out, it’s Abu Dhabi which has hundreds of billions of dollars in its sovereign wealth fund, not Dubai. Some of those dollars might well yet be used fora Dubai bailout, but it won’t be on terms Dubai likes.

Where will Iowa get money to repair troubled bridges?
This state ranks first in the country for the number of troubled bridges, according to a new report
In his first State of the Union address, President Donald Trump called on Congress to produce legislation that would invest at least $1.5 trillion in infrastructure. His goals include building “gleaming new roads, bridges, highways, railways, and waterways across our land.”
One of Iowa’s greatest infrastructure needs is less glamorous: Repairs to our existing, aging bridges.
This state has more significantly troubled bridges than any other state in the country, according to a January report from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, a group that advocates for investment in transportation infrastructure.
Of Iowa’s 24,215 bridges, 5,067, or about 21 percent, are classified as structurally deficient. Six are located on interstate highways.
Bridges are regularly rated for safety on a scale of 0 to 9, with 9 meaning “excellent.” To be considered structurally deficient, one of its major components must measure 4 or below. This does not necessarily mean they are unsafe, but they need to be fixed.
Iowa officials have identified needed repairs on more than 15,000 bridges. Over the past decade, 2,142 new ones have been constructed and 303 have undergone major reconstruction, according to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association. Yet this state has many infrastructure needs competing for funding. Over the last five years, bridge investment in Iowa has accounted for 24.9 percent of highway and bridge contract awards, a lower percentage than the national average.
More money is needed to ensure cars and trucks can safely travel every road, including those crossing water, ravines and drainage ditches. But where will those dollars come from?
The federal government is hardly in a position to provide it. Trump recently signed a tax reform bill starving Uncle Sam of $1.5 trillion — the same amount he wants for infrastructure investments.
He believes a mere $200 billion from Washington can be turned into $1.5 trillion by leveraging local and state dollars and private investments. According to a leaked draft of his proposal, the federal money would be used for, among other things, incentives that fund a small portion of the total project cost.
Who would provide the dollars to repair the Centennial Bridge in Scott County crossed daily by 32,300 vehicles? Or the bridge at Second Avenue and Birdland Drive in Des Moines built in 1970? Are businesses or local governments going to bankroll repairs to the structure over a drainage ditch in Webster County?
The vast majority of Iowa’s structurally deficient bridges are located on rural, local roads. Cities and counties, generally responsible for maintenance, are not exactly swimming in dough. The state, facing its own budget problems, has none to spare either.
Trump is right to seek investments in infrastructure. Yet rather than a gleaming new railway, Iowa needs funding to repair the existing troubled bridges crossed 1.3 million times each day in this state.

MIAMI -- The Florida Marlins endured more than their share of criticism for having the audacity to be the first wild-card team to reach the World Series. People laughed at their funny-looking converted football stadium, poked fun at their fish-headed mascot and generally dismissed them as the product of Major League Baseball's warped imagination.
Well, guess what.
Everybody's doing the fish. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Marlins are the champions of the world. They came from behind to defeat the Cleveland Indians, 3-2, in 11 innings before 67,204 at sold-out Pro Player Stadium, then rolled around on the infield grass like the precocious 5-year-old franchise that they are.
The television executives can complain all they want. The matchup didn't capture the national imagination. The Marlins were a store-bought team that didn't really deserve to be in the World Series. The games were too long, too ragged, too cold, too late for the kids to watch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Marlins are the world champions because Indians second baseman Tony Fernandez made a critical error in the 11th inning and Florida shortstop Edgar Renteria bounced a two-out single through the middle to score Craig Counsell with the biggest run in the history of baseball's youngest franchise.
The Marlins are the champions of the world because they outlasted everybody else, including the Indians, who were chilling champagne for 8 1/2 innings last night after rookie Jaret Wright pitched the game of his short life and the Indians' bullpen worked to within two outs of the club's first world title in 49 years.
Cleveland carried a two-run lead into the late innings, but former Oriole Bobby Bonilla cut it in half with a long home run in the seventh and diminutive second baseman Craig Counsell tied the game with a sacrifice fly to right in the bottom of the ninth. Indians closer Jose Mesa blew the biggest save opportunity of his life and the Indians will have to wait a little longer -- though probably not another half-century -- to end their long championship drought.
Manager Jim Leyland, who had come up on the short end of a few dramatic finishes in his career, paraded around the field with a giant flag that proclaimed the Marlins the 1997 world champions. It was mildly reminiscent of Cal Ripken's victory lap when he broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive-games record on Sept. 6, 1995, but it was just a spontaneous reaction from a manager who is known more for his lack of emotion.
"I guess every little boy dreams that this will happen to him one time," Leyland said afterward. "It's all a fantasy to me. These guys haven't quit all year, and this wasn't the night to quit."
The Indians have been waiting since 1948 for another world title. The Marlins didn't even have to win their first division title to get one. They won the wild-card berth -- finishing well behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East -- and caught fire at just the right time.
They swept the NL West champion San Francisco Giants in the Division Series, then surprised the defending NL champion Braves in the National League Championship Series. The big hero of October was Cuban defector Livan Hernandez, who dominated the Braves, then defeated the Indians twice to win World Series MVP honors and emerge as an international star in his first major-league season.
The 1997 postseason was a huge showcase for Latin players. Marlins outfielder Moises Alou hit three home runs in the World Series, including a decisive three-run shot off Orel Hershiser in Game 1 and another three-run homer off Hershiser in Game 5. He finished with nine RBIs. Indians catcher Sandy Alomar hit five home runs over the three playoff tiers and set a major-league record with 19 RBIs in a single postseason. And, finally, Renteria delivered the decisive hit that sent South Florida into seventh heaven.
"I feel so excited because the team won," said Renteria, a national hero in his native Colombia even before last night.
Still, the World Series did not play well on main street. Television ratings were among the lowest since the networks began keeping track of viewership data in 1959. The presence of a wild-card team with almost no history or tradition seemed to turn off viewers -- especially after several nationally popular teams bowed out earlier.
"I would hope people would look at this Series and realize that it doesn't have to be Los Angeles, or Baltimore or Atlanta," said Indians manager Mike Hargrove. "Those are very good teams, but the Florida Marlins are a great ballclub and the Indians are a great ballclub. It doesn't have to be the same teams every year. This was a great series."
The Marlins didn't design baseball's three-tiered playoff format, and Leyland lashed out at critics of the matchup during a news conference last week in Cleveland.
Major League Baseball wanted a format that would keep teams in contention longer, but no one expected a team like the Marlins to overstay its welcome and actually walk away with the world title.
"It's tough to take," said Indians first baseman Jim Thome. "In '95, it wasn't that tough because we were playing a great team and we were in for the first time. This time, we were two outs away. But nobody's a loser. We battled. They played well."
It was the Indians who seemed to have the horseshoe concession for most of the postseason -- right up until the ninth inning last night. Alomar's game-saving home run off New York Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera kept the club alive in the Division Series. Marquis Grissom's three-run shot off Armando Benitez in Game 2 of the ALCS turned the tide against the Orioles. Fernandez put them in the World Series with an extra-inning home run at Camden Yards.
Good fortune seemed to follow them all through the postseason -- from the game-winning missed suicide squeeze bunt in Game 3 of the ALCS to the surprisingly rocky performance of Marlins ace Kevin Brown in both his World Series starts.
Maybe that's why Hargrove felt so confident betting the world title on the live young arm of the 21-year-old Wright, who defeated the Marlins in Game 4 and was one of the heroes of Cleveland's comeback victory in the Division Series against the Yankees.
Hargrove's confidence in his rookie right-hander was well-founded. Wright gave up just two hits over 6 1/3 innings and looked like a winner until the Marlins scored in the ninth. His only mistake was the pitch that Bonilla launched deep into the right-field bleachers to lead off the seventh.
"Jaret was outstanding," Hargrove said. "He came out and gave us everything we wanted and then some."
Marlins starter Al Leiter retired the first six batters, but struggled with his control in the third and had the bullpen up early. He walked Thome to lead off the third and gave up a single to Grissom before Wright helped himself with a two-strike sacrifice bunt that set up the go-ahead runs.
Fernandez, who knocked out the Orioles with his 11th-inning home run in Game 6 of the ALCS, stroked a soft line drive to center field to score both runners. That's when relievers Antonio Alfonseca and Felix Heredia began throwing in the Florida bullpen, but Leiter collected himself and worked through the sixth.
It turned out to be a gutsy outing for the veteran left-hander, who had struggled through a difficult season and had not pitched well in his four previous postseason appearances. He worked six innings and gave up just the two runs on four hits but left with no chance to record his first postseason victory.

AIMS: The Ipswich Touch Test is a novel method to detect subjects with diabetes with loss of foot sensation and is simple, safe, quick, and easy to perform and teach. This study determines whether it can be used by relatives and/or carers to detect reduced foot sensation in the setting of the patient's home.
METHODS: The test involves lightly and briefly (1-2 s) touching the tips of the first, third and fifth toes of both feet with the index finger. Reduced foot sensation was defined as = 2 insensate areas. Patients due to attend clinic over a 4-week period were invited by post. The invitation contained detailed instructions and a sheet for recording the results. The findings were compared with those obtained in clinic using the 10-g monofilament at the same six sites.
RESULTS: Of 331 patients (174 males), 25.1% (n = 83) had = 2 insensate areas to 10-g monofilament testing. Compared with this, the Ipswich Touch Test at home had a sensitivity of 78.3% and a specificity of 93.9%. The predictive values of detecting 'at-risk' feet were positive at 81.2% and negative at 92.8%. The likelihood ratios were positive at 12.9 and negative at 0.23.
CONCLUSIONS: With clearly written instructions, this simple test can be used by non-professionals to accurately assess for loss of protective sensation. We believe that the Ipswich Touch Test may also be a useful educational adjunct to improve awareness of diabetes foot disease in patients and relatives alike and empower them to seek appropriate care if sensation was found to be abnormal.
A simple and very useful test that can empower diabetic patients in appropriate care of their feet and, if positive, prompt them to seek definitive care/podiatry referral.
This is an important paper. It has the potential to change the way we deliver care to patients with diabetes -- both in an educational sense and for encouraging better self-care and responsibility for own care.
The "Ipswich Touch Test" is a very simple test that a patient with diabetes or family member can perform at home to assess for loss of sensation in the feet. While the test has only moderate sensitivity, it has good specificity, and is very easy and inexpensive (free) to administer. It seems worthwhile for providers to recomend that high-risk patients practice this assessment at home as part of routine foot care.

Title: AI-assisted Breast Cancer Screening Shows Promise in Increasing Detection Rates
In groundbreaking news, a recent study has revealed that a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and skilled radiologists can significantly improve the detection of breast cancers in mammogram screenings. The study, considered the first of its kind in the field, has shown that this human-AI partnership can identify 20% more breast cancer cases without increasing the rate of false positives.
Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, the study compared the performance of two radiologists with that of a trained radiologist supported by AI. Astonishingly, the human-AI team detected breast cancer in six out of 1,000 women, whereas the two radiologists identified only five cases. These findings indicate a remarkable advancement in breast cancer screening, underscoring the potential of AI to enhance both speed and accuracy without replacing radiologists.
Crucially, the AI technology employed in the study demonstrated an effective balance, falling short of becoming excessively sensitive and thus reducing the risk of false positives. This outcome has generated significant enthusiasm among experts who believe that AI can revolutionize the efficiency and precision of breast cancer screenings.
Notably, the workload of radiologists was significantly reduced by 44% during the study through the aid of AI. This notable reduction in radiologists’ workload translates into considerable time savings, ultimately increasing the number of screenings that can be conducted.
The importance of early breast cancer detection cannot be overstated, as it is directly linked to survival rates. Routine mammograms are widely recommended as women age. By implementing AI technology into mammogram screenings, medical professionals can potentially enhance their ability to spot breast cancer in its early stages, ultimately saving lives.
AI has already demonstrated success in detecting cancer in chest X-rays, leading experts to believe that it holds similar potential in aiding the analysis of mammogram screenings. This promising development is widely seen by radiologists as a time-saving tool rather than a threat to their job security.
Despite the potential advantages that AI offers in terms of efficiency and accuracy, thorough testing is imperative to ensure that AI remains a labor-saving invention rather than a life-saving invention. Continued research and development will further enable the medical community to harness the full potential of AI in the fight against breast cancer.
In conclusion, the recent study highlighting the efficacy of AI-assisted breast cancer screening is a major breakthrough in the field. The collaboration between skilled radiologists and AI technology has shown a substantial increase in detection rates without an increase in false positives. As the medical community explores further applications for AI, the potential for revolutionizing breast cancer screenings becomes increasingly clear.

(NEXSTAR) – Ranch dressing may have been popularized at a California ranch, but it was enjoyed by hungry Alaskan plumbers long before any “ranch” figured into the story.
Steven Henson, the Nebraska native who created ranch dressing, invented the now-ubiquitous condiment after moving to Anchorage in 1949 and taking a job as a plumbing contractor in the Alaskan bush, according to a biography of Henson published in the Santa Barbara Independent. Henson concocted the recipe for what would later be dubbed “ranch” dressing somewhat out of necessity, the outlet reported, after taking on a secondary role in the kitchen while “trying to keep his hungry work crews happy.”
“It’s tough to feed men up in those bush jobs,” Henson once remarked in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, according to an archived article cited by Tedium. “If they don’t like something, they’re as likely to throw it at the cook as they are to walk out cursing. I had to come up with something to keep them happy,” he added, noting that it was during this time in the then-Alaska Territory that ranch dressing “came into being.”
Within just a few years, Henson had reportedly saved up enough money to retire. He and his wife moved to California in the mid-1950s, where they purchased 120 acres of land in the mountains near Santa Barbara (then-called Sweetwater Ranch, according to the Independent) and rechristened it as “Hidden Valley Ranch.”
“I wouldn’t call it a ranch, in reality,” remembered Alan Barker, a former employee at Hidden Valley Ranch who spoke with CBS Sunday Morning in 2021. “There were no animals, there were no crops. It was a motel in the mountains.”
By most accounts, Henson’s “ranch” didn’t attract too many guests. But the ones who did visit reportedly raved about the dressing at the on-site restaurant, with some “asking Steve for jars of his ranch dressing to enjoy at home with their friends and family,” according to the Hidden Valley Ranch dressing brand’s own record.
“From my memory, it was buttermilk, Miracle Whip, some spices and I think some chopped-up shallots — and then, the ingredient that was kept secret: pure MSG,” Barker told CBS News. (Barker also claimed in an earlier interview with the L.A. Times that the dressing called for “buttermilk and mayonnaise,” making no mention of Miracle Whip specifically. Henson, meanwhile, had long before admitted to using MSG in the ranch packets he would eventually sell.)
Henson soon started focusing more on the dressing than the ranch. He provided it to a local restaurant (the still-operating Cold Spring Tavern) and began producing dry seasoning packets to sell off-site, and later through the mail. Customers needed only to mix the contents of the packets with buttermilk and mayonnaise to have their own Hidden Valley Ranch dressing at home.
Henson’s business took off by the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, after which the Clorox Company offered Henson $8 million for the whole operation, the Santa Barbara Independent reported. In the ‘80s, Clorox ultimately developed a shelf-stable bottled version of Hidden Valley Ranch — rather than just a dry mix — that could be shipped to retail outlets.
The debut of Cool Ranch Doritos in 1986 gave the product yet another boost (despite not being affiliated with the Clorox Company), and is credited with introducing idea of ranch dressing as a dip, The New York Times reported in 2018, citing the author of a then-new tome on ranch dressing.
Henson himself sold the physical Hidden Valley Ranch in 1973, but maintained properties in Palm Springs, California, and Sparks, Nevada. He passed away in Reno in 2007, per an obituary in the Reno-Gazette Journal, which means he sadly didn’t live to see the invention of kegged ranch dressing, or ranch dressing ice cream.
Even still, Henson once remarked to the L.A. Times that he never could have imagined the trajectory his life would take after mixing up a batch of dressing in the Alaskan bush.
“What started out almost as a lark became a multimillion dollar industry,” Henson said.

Domaine des Herbauges
Highly rated, elegant and beautifully balanced Muscadet from a serious producer - highlighting the progress the region has made, and of course perfect for seafood.
This family estate is a medal-winner and has been in production since 1864. Dynamism is now shown under Jérôme Choblet with 87 hectares in production and a further 22 at the Château de Lorière - making this the largest single estate in the region. Set just south of Nantes the vineyards benefit from an exceptional microclimate - the warmth of the Atlantic brings Spring early, while the huge Lac de Grandlieu acts like a giant storage heater through growing season, giving extra ripeness and more fruit to the wines. Jérôme is committed to the sustainability of the vineyards as well as to the health of the vineyard workers and aims to improve quality further by moving one more step forward from lutte raisonée to lutte intégré. Careful vineyard management has enabled Jérôme to drop all insecticides, weed killers and anti-rot treatments and he has grassed over 100% of the vineyards to reduce the vigour of the vines and to soak up rain at harvest.
With a deep, golden colour, this is a charming, full-bodied, Muscadet that has expressive minerality, honey and grapefruit. The palate is punctuated by flattering lemon notes with a light crisp finish. The perfect aperitif.
