Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a gradual and irreversible loss of kidney function over time. There are five stages of CKD, each determined by the patient’s estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The eGFR is a measure of how efficiently the kidneys filter waste products from the blood.
It’s important to note that symptoms may not always be present in the early stages of CKD, which is why routine screenings and monitoring are crucial. Early detection and management can slow the progression of the disease and prevent complications.
Stage 1: Normal eGFR (≥90) with evidence of kidney damage.
Stage 2: Mildly decreased eGFR (60-89) with evidence of kidney damage.
Stage 3: Moderately decreased eGFR (30-59).
Stage 4: Severely decreased eGFR (15-29).
Stage 5: End-stage renal disease (ESRD), with an eGFR less than 15 or the need for kidney replacement therapy (dialysis or transplant).
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is widely recognized as a silent risk factor for premature death. The leading causes of kidney failure and the need for Dialysis or Kidney Transplantation are Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension.
RISK FACTORS FOR KIDNEY DISEASE: include Diabetes Mellitus & Obesity, or (DIABESITY), Hypertension or High Blood Pressure, Family history of Kidney Disease, Cigarette smoking, Previous stroke or heart attack, and age over 60.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is increasingly recognized as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular events. When combined with smoking, it can greatly amplify the risk of progression to total kidney failure and major cardiovascular events.
It is crucial not to underestimate the potential harm that CKD can cause to your health. Even if you have no symptoms, it is not merely a number on a blood test – it represents a major risk that should be taken seriously.

This legislation requires lead in drinking water testing and remediation at a limited number of child day care facilities in New York. With young children at highest risk of life-long damage from this neurotoxin, New York must take steps to ensure day care facilities are lead-free spaces.
There is no safe level of lead in drinking water. The growing bodies and developing organs of children are especially vulnerable to lead exposure. Even low levels of lead in children can cause neurological damage, impaired hearing, slowed growth, and anemia.
This legislation builds on New York’s nation-leading efforts to reduce lead in drinking water. In 2016, the Legislature required public schools to regularly test their tap water for lead and take action if elevated levels were discovered. A 2018 analysis of the statewide testing data revealed the shocking prevalence of lead in drinking water: around 82% of school buildings reported one or more taps that tested above the state lead action level (15 parts per billion).
It is time to expand protections against lead in drinking water to day care facilities statewide, where young children can spend a large proportion of their time. It is essential that New York guarantees these children clean and safe drinking water. New York City and nine other states already require lead testing at certain day care facilities.
We recommend expanding this legislation to all day care facilities licensed or registered with the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). The legislation currently only applies to child day care centers, while excluding home-based care such as group family day care homes and family day care homes. Recent data from OCFS indicates that 12,099 home-based facilities, with the capacity to serve 154,774 children, would not be covered by this legislation. All children in day care should have the same drinking water protections, regardless of the type of facility they are placed in.
This bill amends Section 1110 of the Public Health Law to expand testing for lead in drinking water to certain day care facilities.


Interim superintendent Amber Dixon is expecting to receive written feedback from the New York State Education Department by Thursday.
The written document is expected to spell out exactly what the district and the teachers union has to do in order to restore funding.
School Improvement Grants designated for low-performing schools have already been discontinued, however but the board of education is still fighting for more than $5 million they are due for the rest of the year.
Also, the state board of regents announced more money Buffalo schools will be eligible for for the next school year. That money is targeted to train teachers in high-poverty, low performing schools. But Dixon says unless the teacher's union conforms to new evaluation methods from the state all the money is in jeopardy.
Dixon says she will present whatever guidelines she receives from the state to the teachers union for approval.


Six Digital Trends To Watch
Edelman Digital offers six topics brands should be tracking.
- Marketing in the age of streams – (or moving from hub to spokes, as discussed last week)
- The Googleization of media
- The data decade
- Business becomes social
- Location, location, location
- Private becomes public
Customers participate in multiple conversations (not just in a single, central hub – or corporate-sponsored page), which increasingly occur off domain in “streams” flowing from Facebook, Twitter and even apps. You must be highly relevant in their streams if you want to catch them – and be even a part of them.
How visible you are to search engines depends on quality content and potent social connections – not just traditional keywords. People ARE the media.
Digital is inherently measurable. From that data, we can derive insights into behaviors; in order to fully harness this trend, we must ensure that data is tracked, digested and acted upon by relevant stakeholders across agencies and brands (which was also discussed last week in a discussion on agile advertising and the four feedback loops).
Business itself is beginning to look more social as organizations start to engage all stakeholders in open and mutually beneficial ways.
Where you are is becoming the new what are you doing as multiple platforms begin to adopt the new geolocation status update generating new kinds of data.
Despite privacy concerns, people continue to share – Facebook did not experience a mass exodus, Foursquare continues to expand – and associated behaviors around social sharing will redefine what is considered private.

Two severely malnourished dogs, bearing almost no fur due to their mistreatment and abandonment from a moving vehicle, were found near a university in Spain.
Outrage among Dog Lovers
The distressing sight of these two dogs, reduced to mere skin and bones, has once again sparked outrage among dog lovers near Ciudad Real, Spain.
Pitiful Condition of the Dogs
When these two dogs were first discovered and brought to the animal protection center, their condition was truly pitiful.
Skin and Bones
These dogs were skin and bones, with their fur in a ragged and nearly bald state.
Naming the Rescued Dogs
The center responsible for their care and treatment has given them names: “Raiz” (Roots) and “Tierra” (Land).
Lack of Exposure to Light
It was revealed that they had not been exposed to much light, which explained their pinkish skin.
Heartbreaking Testimony from a Volunteer
Carmen Diaz, a dedicated volunteer at the center, shared her heart-wrenching testimony, saying, “They were completely starved and had been suffering for weeks and months. This is the most terrible case I have ever seen in my 35 years of working here.”

Lopez uncovered national-security cases tied to immigration loopholes. The FBI sought these cases from her in 2016, and she twice presented them at White House meetings in 2018.
Lopez first warned congressional leadership of the loopholes in 2006 and the national-security cases in 2012. Rather than let the temporary loopholes expire, congress and the president made them permanent law in 2013.
The loopholes allow foreigners to bypass background checks, hide national-security threats, waive criminal activities, and get fast-tracked citizenship.
Lopez testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee about her own case in 2017. She was almost killed by her Dutch husband after she sponsored him into the United States. He admitted marrying her for a green card, then attacked and terrorized her to keep her quiet. The State of New Jersey put her in hiding for her safety.
The Department of Homeland Security warned he was "dangerous," but refused to enforce his fraudulent immigration status despite his extensive criminal activities.
Lopez counting off ex-husband's criminal and deportable offenses (U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee)
Lopez has worked with and organized hundreds of fraud victims from around the country to lobby for immigration reform. She also helped get their stories to various media outlets.
She set up the first website on the Internet addressing immigration fraud issues: ImmigrationFraud.com.
Elena is a former political journalist and financial writer.
Over the years, Lopez has become a resource for government investigators, academics, think tanks, attorneys, journalists and fraud victims looking for information, data and research on the immigration system and fraud.
USA Today, NBC, Fox, The Arizona Republic, American Spanish-language media and the international press covered her story.
Since 2017, she's been interviewed by almost 60 national and local radio hosts about her story and the national security implications of ignoring widespread immigration fraud.
In 2016, homeland security officials warned Lopez about the “dangerous man” she married and sponsored into her country. By the time the feds issued this warning, Lopez already knew he was dangerous: She was living in hiding with the help of state officials.
Years earlier, Lopez fled her own home after her then-husband tried to strangle her and pulled a firearm on her. When local police and her district attorney refused to press charges, Lopez desperately sought help from a retired FBI agent. Together, they found out she sponsored a violent criminal into the United States -- and they documented it.
Lopez's former husband:
To add insult to injury, her husband then became eligible for a special “domestic-violence green card." To get this fast-tracked green card, one simply claims they're abused by an American. No evidence, interviews or investigations are required; Americans are barred from being interviewed or providing evidence. (Meaning Lopez and the retired FBI agent wasted time, energy and money collecting evidence.)
This unique type of green card is coveted since it also waives fraud, criminal activities and inadmissibility, and these green cards can’t be revoked -- even when flagged by national security investigators.
A special social-work unit makes these homeland security decisions, thus barring trained immigration investigators from the process. (See 2002 Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS) memo after investigators tried to revoke fraudulent "domestic-violence green cards"; See followup 2010 DHS memo after investigators again tried revocations based on fraud.)
Lopez’s abuse? By refusing to sign his final immigration papers and reporting him to immigration authorities, Lopez subjected her foreign husband to “extreme cruelty” based on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). [See "Immigration Control as Abuse"; AllLaw] This landmark domestic-violence law has become the easiest way for criminals and fraudsters to get fast-tracked green cards and U.S. citizenship.
Congressional investigations recently confirmed widespread fraud for such green cards. Lopez’s whistleblowing triggered the congressional investigation and report.
Lopez remains in hiding to this day. Meanwhile, her former husband continues living openly in the United States. Despite this man's clearly documented violence, criminal activities and fraud, the Department of Homeland Security gave a green card to someone the agency itself identified as “dangerous.”
He remains eligible to renew his fraudulent green card or apply for U.S. citizenship, which he might have already attained.
Lopez was the lead witness for U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on immigration fraud (2017)

Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore appeared to hold out hope that military ballots would reverse his loss to Democrat Doug Jones -- and the theory was circulated as fake news.
"Roy Moore takes the military vote, pulls ahead by 5,000 votes," said the headline on the website defense-usa.xyz on Dec. 15, three days after Moore, a Republican, lost to Jones. We found no contact information on this website to probe the story further.
Facebook users flagged the post as being potentially fabricated, as part of the social network’s efforts to combat fake news.
According to the story, the "Alabama Secretary of State’s Division Of Electoral Balloting Integrity" had sent emails to media outlets regarding the military vote count, which showed that Moore led by 5,014 votes after 97 percent of the vote had been counted.
Jones would have to pay $213 million for a recount, the story stated.
"The Secretary of State’s office has already announced that the election won’t be certified until after the first of the year, so the Democrat loser will have plenty of time to decide if he’ll waste the taxpayers’ time and money with a fruitless recount," stated the article. "They can never just admit when they lost."
In reality, there is no such entity as the "Alabama Secretary of State’s Division of Electoral Balloting Integrity." And the number of ballots cast do not bear out what the story alleged.
The official Alabama Secretary of State’s website showed that Jones received 671,151 votes while Moore received 650,436.
Moore appeared to hope that military and provisional ballots would turn the tide for him after the election. In a Dec. 15 email to supporters, Moore wrote that those votes were yet to be counted and that the election was "too close to call" and "the battle is NOT OVER!"
On Dec. 20, Secretary of State John Merrill provided information showing that there were 366 military and overseas ballots returned. Merrill also reported that there was a total of 4,967 provisional ballots received and of those, 2,888 had been verified. That means that even if all of the overseas and provisional ballots were cast for Moore -- an unlikely scenario -- that would not add up to enough to change the outcome of the race since Jones had a lead of more than 20,000 votes.
The state is expected to certify the election results on Dec. 28. A spokesman for the Secretary of State’s office said that the final results are not significantly different from the unofficial numbers from election night but will include slight increases for both candidates due to the late-counted military and provisional ballots.
The viral post saying Moore pulled ahead of Jones thanks to overseas and provisional ballots is not accurate. We rate this claim Pants on Fire.'

Armando Manzanero (born in Mérida, México on December 7, 1935) is a Latin American musician and composer, widely considered the premiere Mexican romantic composer of the postwar era. At the age of eight he was introduced into the world of music in the Escuela de Bellas Artes (School of High Arts) of his native city, later furthering his musical studies in Mexico City. In 1950, at the age of fifteen, he composed his first melody titled Nunca en el Mundo (Never in the World), of which twenty-one versions in different languages have been recorded to date.

This is our mission, our commitment, and what our company stands for!
Rehab Healthcare (Rehab HC) has a team of professionals who have a wealth of experience of working in the field of addiction, dealing with addicts and seeing them overcome their addiction through medical detoxification and psychological interventions as appropriate for each patient.

With Carl and Pam headed to Carlsbad, we were on our own for the rest of the week. We decided not to try a kayak trip since we did not have two vehicles to park at the entry and exit locations. We drove back into the park and headed towards the Balancing Rock Trail. The trail is down a 6 mile unpaved road that gets rough in places. We found the start of the trail and started hiking up hill. The trail is 1.25 miles long with the last .25 mile being a climb up the mountain rather than a trail. We make it to the top to see the balancing rock along with some nice views of the surrounding countryside.
|Connie along the "easy" part of the trail.|
|We make it to the top.|
After stopping by the Panther Junction Visitor Center for a bathroom break, we drove a few miles north to the Fossil Bone Exhibit. Specimens from Big Bend's remarkable fossil record along with illustrations are here at the Exhibit Hall. We ate lunch at one of the picnic tables located at the exhibit before taking a tour of the facility. There was a short walk up a hill to an overlook of the area which is now a desert but millions of years ago was covered with water and then lush vegetation.
After leaving the exhibit we headed towards the Chisos Basin located within the Chisos Mountains. We drove to the Chisos Basin Visitor Center and got some information about the hikes in this area of the park. We decided to hike the 2 mile Chisos Basin Loop Trail to see the views of the mountains. It was a trail with lots of steps and some wonderful outlooks to see the Chisos Mountains. The two highest points in the park are located in this area: Emory Peak at 7.832 feet above sea level and Casa Grande at 7,325.
One of the unexpected items in the park was the amount of bluebonnets in bloom along the park roads. We saw bluebonnets along a number of the roads with cactus located right behind them.
After getting back to our campground we found that the power was out again due to low voltage. We talked with the owners and figured out it was not going to get any better at this park (they did give us a refund of the unused portion of our fees). We called the Los Gringos RV Park and were able to get the site that Pam and Carl had vacated that morning. We made a hurried up exit from the Study Butte RV Park so that we could get set up before it got dark. We were able to make the move and finish up just as the sun was going down. We decided to eat dinner at the High Sierra Bar and Grill since we were both tired from a long day.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Dec. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Nabors Industries Ltd. (“Nabors” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NBR) was awarded the Energy Transition Award – Upstream at the 24th Annual Platts Global Energy Awards gala on December 8. Nabors was one of seven finalists in the category.

Anthony Petrello, Chairman, President and CEO of Nabors, said: “Nabors has ventured into exciting, and what is arguably the world’s most topical, territory. Energy transition is core to our future strategy as an energy technology company.

We also know all forms of energy will be required to meet society’s ever-growing need for clean, reliable and affordable energy. We are developing technologies that deliver responsible hydrocarbon production while also investing in high-growth potential, clean technologies that broaden and diversify the energy mix.”
The award comes exactly one year after Nabors formally announced its energy transition strategy. The Company created a new business line, Nabors Energy Transition Solutions, focused on internally developing technologies for the responsible production and use of hydrocarbons. As part of its strategy, Nabors has also placed investments in companies within the energy transition space with adjacent technologies and potential operational synergies.
Over the past year, the Company has deployed several energy transition solutions on Nabors and non-Nabors rigs across three continents while making significant progress on its own hydrogen and carbon tech R&E.

Production Notes & Credits:
"The Great Scottsmen" is a male vocal rock song. We assume from the absence of individual credits that Tim was the sole creator here: "Concept and recording over a week's period in my studio," he tells us.
Reviewed By: Marty Peters
Recording: Tim has really produced a pretty pounding track here, which he says was written as a theme song for his Men's League Hockey Team. We love the tone of the toms at the intro and the drums in general; Tim has made excellent use of Superior Drummer and the programming sounds very "real" to our ears.
We also thought that Tim did well in managing his low midrange frequencies throughout the mix. While the electric guitar has a lot of low-mid thump, it steers clear of the bass guitar, allowing both instruments to really drive the track with power. Well done!
As for the remaining sound sources, the single "pipe" sound during the intro certainly helps with the atmosphere, but pales in comparison to the bombast that follows. We also felt that the vocals sounded a bit thin given the context, though the attempt to make the vocal come across with a sort of "bunch of hammered guys in a pub" sound may have played into this.
Suggestions: At the risk of Tim going all "Braveheart" on us, we would love to hear a more robust sound on the vocals. Oh, and nothing scares the other team quite as much as coming out for the third period in kilts, with a bagpiper as one of your first line forwards. Just sayin'.
Summary: Let's go Scottsmen!

Today a climate adviser ousted under the Trump administration is back in the White House, Katie Porter takes aim at oil CEOs and a top Senate Democrat confirms the Biden administration’s waiver of Nord Stream 2 sanctions.
BACK IN THE SADDLE: White House reinstates climate adviser removed by Trump
The White House has reinstated a top adviser overseeing the government’s reports on climate change after the official was removed from the position under former President Trump last year.
Officials announced on Wednesday that Michael Kuperberg had returned to the position of executive director of the U.S. Global Change Research Program, six months after he was reassigned during the previous administration. Officials stressed the need for nonpartisan leadership in charge of climate assessments and for science to be in the driver’s seat.
“We face urgent climate threats, but we have the knowledge needed to take bold action to combat them,” Kuperberg said in a statement. “As a scientist, it’s been my honor to serve the American people under Democratic and Republican administrations to help deliver science to inform solutions.”
What will Kuperberg handle?: Reprising his role, Kuperberg will be responsible for overseeing the government’s National Climate Assessment, which relies on opinions from government and independent scientists. The fourth edition of the report, issued in 2018, included dire warnings about the threat of climate change if the U.S. didn’t do enough to curb emissions. It reportedly angered the Trump White House. The former president often dismissed the threat of climate change.
NO PORTER GIVEN: Porter blasts oil CEOs: ‘Declined to answer to the American people’
Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) on Wednesday chastised oil company executives who declined her invitation to testify before the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, saying they “declined to answer to the American people.”
Porter, who chairs the subcommittee, invited the CEOs of ExxonMobil, Devon Energy and EOG Resources to testify at a hearing, which was titled, “Misuse of Taxpayer Dollars and Corporate Welfare in the Oil and Gas Industry.”
All three, as well as officials with the trade group Western Energy Alliance, ultimately declined.
Porter cites industry tax breaks: “I have long said that congressional hearings are opportunities for representatives and witnesses to be in conversation with Americans. Yet, despite receiving billions in taxpayer subsidies, every witness that we invited today from the oil and gas industry declined to answer to the American people,” Porter said, responding during Wednesday’s hearing.
Porter particularly pointed to tax breaks meant to encourage fossil fuel production, what she described as “outdated” royalty rates and rental fees for public lands drilling as well as coronavirus-related aid.
ROUGHLY DOWN THE STREAM: Biden administration confirms it’s waiving sanctions over Nord Stream 2, Senate Democrat says
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) said Wednesday that the Biden administration has confirmed it will waive sanctions against the Russian company behind the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
The announcement comes after the decision was initially reported Tuesday. Sources with knowledge of the situation said the administration would issue waivers for both the company and CEO Matthias Warnig, an associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The administration reportedly made the decision to avoid straining Washington’s relationship with Germany, which the natural gas pipeline is set to pass through. Reports said U.S. officials had determined it would not be possible to halt construction of the pipeline without also sanctioning German entities.
“I am opposed to the decision by the Biden Administration to waive sanctions on NS2 AG and Matthias Warnig. I urge the administration to rip off the Band-Aid, lift these waivers and move forward with the congressionally mandated sanctions,” Menendez said in a statement. “The administration has said that the pipeline is a bad idea and that it is a Russian malign influence project. I share that sentiment, but fail to see how today’s decision will advance U.S. efforts to counter Russian aggression in Europe.”
ON TAP TOMORROW:
- The Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee will hold a hearing to examine Federal, state, and private forestlands, focusing on opportunities for addressing climate change.
- The House Climate Committee is having a hearing on investments to “modernize and expand” the electric grid.
