#but there are a lot of historical and systemic blockers in place to keep this from being the norm rather than the exception

[frommybookbook]

OK, @emi--rose and @epersonae, this has been bouncing around in my brain for nearly a month now and I spent the morning at the art museum with my partner today and accidentally rambled at him while standing in a tiny little corridor of mid-19th century French prints and drawings and then realized that I should have been recording it so I could finally write this post.

That said, here we go.

First off, I am an art lover and consider myself an artist. I have always loved art and art history but am largely self-taught. I don't have a degree in any of this and have taken very few formal classes. I just love the subject and read a lot.

OP of this post and the second reply make some really good points. Art museums originated from a fundamentally different mindset to the science/history museum. Those institutions, for the most part, were always meant to be places of educating and informing, where art museums grew out of the private salons and showcases of Owning Stuff. They were never meant to educate and while they have improved in the last century or so, they're still Not Great.

The biggest deficiency, imo, of most major art galleries today isn't that they're primarily focused on displaying The Collection or their Centerpiece Works, but that they lack context. Every single piece of work in an art museum, even the famous ones, takes on more meaning and more relevance when it's placed in context to not only the other works around it but the time in which it was created. Art has always been a part of the historical record and social commentary—always. What humans create and how they create it and why they create and who likes or dislikes it says as much about a society in a given moment as a daily newspaper from the time. (Sidenote: this is why I hate the term "modern art", all art is modern/contemporary to the time in which it was made, Rembrandt was modern in his day.)

Most museums do make some effort to provide this context and from what I've seen in the last decade or so, are improving. But these improvements take time and money.

Often times, special exhibits will be the best at doing this because of their transient nature. These exhibits bring many disparate pieces together from many different sources—The Collection, storage, private ownership, other institutions—to tell a cohesive story. The curators have the time and resources available to highlight that connective tissue, to provide the relevant historical and societal and technical context to really make the pieces sing. And they have the freedom to change the text on the walls and order new placards and have brochures printed. It's hard to go through the permanent collection and do these things. Think of your own home and think of the things you have on display. Are all of your photographs and houseplants and records organized perfectly? Do they all have the best frame or cutest pot or ideal placement? Or are they good enough, the best that you could do at the time, and as you have the time and resources when you bring in new things, you make those look nicer and more put together? In other words, the picture you've had of you and your college roommates for a decade is in a kinda cheap frame and a little crooked on the wall because it's been there for ages but now that you have a little more money because you have an adult job, you put new art behind properly sized mats with real glass and actually use a level to hang it.

For example, this morning I saw the new Mary Cassatt exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was an incredible experience and very well researched and displayed. The works were laid out in a logical, chronological order and surrounded with contextual information about Cassatt's upbringing and family life and financial background. Her subjects were placed in the historical context of life for women in the early 20th century and within the greater context of the Impressionist movement. There were placards on her methods and techniques and explanations of how modern advances in print making and pastel composition impacted her work and the work of her contemporaries. I saw artworks that I'd seen dozens of times, at this museum and others, in a whole new light because I saw them in a new context.

Going into the exhibit, I was already very familiar with Cassatt's work and her background as she's always been a favorite of mine (there are so few women represented in major museums, I've always been a fan of those that are but that's a different ramble for a different post). But even still I learned a lot of new things and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. And more importantly, my partner, who didn't have nearly the familiarity I did going into it, also enjoyed the exhibit and infinitely more so than he would have without the context he learned along the way. Anecdotally, I would say the same seemed to be true for other patrons, based on snippets of conversations I overheard along the way.

And yet as great and informative as the context around the Cassatt exhibit was, the rest of the museum is still severely lacking. As I've said before, this is largely due to the entropy of leaving well enough alone when it comes to long-term/permanent Collection displays, but even smaller, non-Special Exhibit, new displays suffer from a lack of context, presumably due to a lack of funds.

For example, just across the lobby from the Cassatt exhibit, in a small section of corridor between galleries—not even a proper gallery itself—I noticed a new display of prints and drawings (we're museum members so we're there pretty regularly and I notice most changes like this). There was a placard describing the works, and it did a decent job. It explained that they were all created in France in the late 1800s/early 1900s and largely born from the class dissent and social uprisings common of that time. It even pointed out that these works and their subject matter might be at odds with what people imagine when they think of the Impressionist art "synonymous" with that time and location—presuming the average museum-goer has enough context to know that the Impressionist movement originated in France at the turn of the 20th century. But what it didn't say is that the reason this small handful of prints were pulled out of storage and put on display was because they were created using the same techniques in print making that Mary Cassatt had been experimenting with at the same time in the same place and could be seen also on display just a few hundred feet away. The curators didn't have the time or the space or the money or the whatever to provide this additional bit of context that would have made this little passthrough bit of hallway more relevant to 90% of visitors who just came to the museum this day to see the Mary Cassatt exhibit.

This is the point of our visit where I got frustrated by the lack of context and essentially word vomited this post all over my partner. He enjoys art and had enjoyed the Cassatt exhibit but he hadn't paid much attention to the additional prints; they were just something different filling a couple walls on the way to the much larger room of the more famous van Goghs and Cezannes and Monets. After I told him of the connection, he went back and studied them more closely and appreciated them more. He commented unprompted on the differences between the subject matter and presentation of those pieces and the Cassatt works from the same time and place. By giving him the context, he was able to engage in his own critical thinking about the art and make connections that will make those pieces remain in his memories and thoughts.

tl;dr: context is key, especially when it comes to art. If we want people to be able to truly appreciate and engage with art, regardless of its time period or style, we need to give them the context to do so.

I would be very interested in hearing the museum design rant

by popular demand: Guy That Took One (1) Museum Studies Class Focused On Science Museums Rants About Art Museums. thank u for coming please have a seat

so. background. the concept of the "science museum" grew out of 1) the wunderkammer (cabinet of curiosities), also known as "hey check out all this weird cool shit i have", and 2) academic collections of natural history specimens (usually taxidermied) -- pre-photography these were super important for biological research (see also). early science museums usually grew out of university collections or bequests of some guy's Weird Shit Collection or both, and were focused on utility to researchers rather than educational value to the layperson (picture a room just, full of taxidermy birds with little labels on them and not a lot of curation outside that). eventually i guess they figured they could make more on admission by aiming for a mass audience? or maybe it was the cultural influence of all the world's fairs and shit (many of which also caused science museums to exist), which were aimed at a mass audience. or maybe it was because the research function became much more divorced from the museum function over time. i dunno. ANYWAY, science and technology museums nowadays have basically zero research function; the exhibits are designed more or less solely for educating the layperson (and very frequently the layperson is assumed to be a child, which does honestly irritate me, as an adult who likes to go to science museums). the collections are still there in case someone does need some DNA from one of the preserved bird skins, but items from the collections that are exhibited typically exist in service of the exhibit's conceptual message, rather than the other way around.

meanwhile at art museums they kind of haven't moved on from the "here is my pile of weird shit" paradigm, except it's "here is my pile of Fine Art". as far as i can tell, the thing that curators (and donors!) care about above all is The Collection. what artists are represented in The Collection? rich fucks derive personal prestige from donating their shit to The Collection. in big art museums usually something like 3-5% of the collection is ever on exhibit -- and sometimes they rotate stuff from the vault in and out, but let's be real, only a fraction of an art museum's square footage is temporary exhibits. they're not going to take the scream off display when it's like the only reason anyone who's not a giant nerd ever visits the norwegian national museum of art. most of the stuff in the vault just sits in the vault forever. like -- art museum curators, my dudes, do you think the general public gives a SINGLE FUCK what's in The Collection that isn't on display? no!! but i guarantee you it will never occur, ever, to an art museum curator that they could print-to-scale high-res images of artworks that are NOT in The Collection in order to contextualize the art in an exhibit, because items that are not in The Collection functionally do not exist to them. (and of course there's the deaccessioning discourse -- tumblr collectively has some level of awareness that repatriation is A Whole Kettle of Worms but even just garden-variety selling off parts of The Collection is a huge hairy fucking deal. check out deaccessioning and its discontents; it's a banger read if you're into This Kind Of Thing.)

with the contents of The Collection foregrounded like this, what you wind up with is art museum exhibits where the exhibit's message is kind of downstream of what shit you've got in the collection. often the message is just "here is some art from [century] [location]", or, if someone felt like doing a little exhibit design one fine morning, "here is some art from [century] [location] which is interesting for [reason]". the displays are SOOOOO bad by science museum standards -- if you're lucky you get a little explanatory placard in tiny font relating the art to an art movement or to its historical context or to the artist's career. if you're unlucky you get artist name, date, and medium. fucker most of the people who visit your museum know Jack Shit about art history why are you doing them dirty like this

(if you don't get it you're just not Cultured enough. fuck you, we're the art museum!)

i think i've talked about this before on this blog but the best-exhibited art exhibit i've ever been to was actually at the boston museum of science, in this traveling leonardo da vinci exhibit where they'd done a bunch of historical reconstructions of inventions out of his notebooks, and that was the main Thing, but also they had a whole little exhibit devoted to the mona lisa. obviously they didn't even have the real fucking mona lisa, but they went into a lot of detail on like -- here's some X-ray and UV photos of it, and here's how art experts interpret them. here's a (photo of a) contemporary study of the finished painting, which we've cleaned the yellowed varnish off of, so you can see what the colors looked like before the varnish yellowed. here's why we can't clean the varnish off the actual painting (da vinci used multiple varnish layers and thinned paints to translucency with varnish to create the illusion of depth, which means we now can't remove the yellowed varnish without stripping paint).

even if you don't go into that level of depth about every painting (and how could you? there absolutely wouldn't be space), you could at least talk a little about, like, pigment availability -- pigment availability is an INCREDIBLY useful lens for looking at historical paintings and, unbelievably, never once have i seen an art museum exhibit discuss it (and i've been to a lot of art museums). you know how medieval european religious paintings often have funky skin tones? THEY HADN'T INVENTED CADMIUM PIGMENTS YET. for red pigments you had like... red ochre (a muted earth-based pigment, like all ochres and umbers), vermilion (ESPENSIVE), alizarin crimson (aka madder -- this is one of my favorite reds, but it's cool-toned and NOT good for mixing most skintones), carmine/cochineal (ALSO ESPENSIVE, and purple-ish so you wouldn't want to use it for skintones anyway), red lead/minium (cheaper than vermilion), indian red/various other iron oxide reds, and apparently fucking realgar? sure. whatever. what the hell was i talking about.

oh yeah -- anyway, i'd kill for an art exhibit that's just, like, one or two oil paintings from each century for six centuries, with sample palettes of the pigments they used. but no! if an art museum curator has to put in any level of effort beyond writing up a little placard and maybe a room-level text block, they'll literally keel over and die. dude, every piece of art was made in a material context for a social purpose! it's completely deranged to divorce it from its material context and only mention the social purpose insofar as it matters to art history the field. for god's sake half the time the placard doesn't even tell you if the thing was a commission or not. there's a lot to be said about edo period woodblock prints and mass culture driven by the growing merchant class! the met has a fuckton of edo period prints; they could get a hell of an exhibit out of that!

or, tying back to an earlier thread -- the detroit institute of arts has got a solid like eight picasso paintings. when i went, they were kind of just... hanging out in a room. fuck it, let's make this an exhibit! picasso's an artist who pretty famously had Periods, right? why don't you group the paintings by period, and if you've only got one or two (or even zero!) from a particular period, pad it out with some decent life-size prints so i can compare them and get a better sense for the overarching similarities? and then arrange them all in a timeline, with little summaries of what each Period was ~about~? that'd teach me a hell of a lot more about picasso -- but you'd have to admit you don't have Every Cool Painting Ever in The Collection, which is illegalé.

also thinking about the mit museum temporary exhibit i saw briefly (sorry, i was only there for like 10 minutes because i arrived early for a meeting and didn't get a chance to go through it super thoroughly) of a bunch of ship technical drawings from the Hart nautical collection. if you handed this shit to an art museum curator they'd just stick it on the wall and tell you to stand around and look at it until you Understood. so anyway the mit museum had this enormous room-sized diorama of various hull shapes and how they sat in the water and their benefits and drawbacks, placed below the relevant technical drawings.

tbh i think the main problem is that art museum people and science museum people are completely different sets of people, trained in completely different curatorial traditions. it would not occur to an art museum curator to do anything like this because they're probably from the ~art world~ -- maybe they have experience working at an art gallery, or working as an art buyer for a rich collector, neither of which is in any way pedagogical. nobody thinks an exhibit of historical clothing should work like a clothing store but it's fine when it's art, i guess?

also the experience of going to an art museum is pretty user-hostile, i have to say. there's never enough benches, and if you want a backrest, fuck you. fuck you if going up stairs is painful; use our shitty elevator in the corner that we begrudgingly have for wheelchair accessibility, if you can find it. fuck you if you can't see very well, and need to be closer to the art. fuck you if you need to hydrate or eat food regularly; go to our stupid little overpriced cafeteria, and fuck you if we don't actually sell any food you can eat. (obviously you don't want someone accidentally spilling a smoothie on the art, but there's no reason you couldn't provide little Safe For Eating Rooms where people could just duck in and monch a protein bar, except that then you couldn't sell them a $30 salad at the cafe.) fuck you if you're overwhelmed by noise in echoing rooms with hard surfaces and a lot of people in them. fuck you if you are TOO SHORT and so our overhead illumination generates BRIGHT REFLECTIONS ON THE SHINY VARNISH. we're the art museum! we don't give a shit!!!

Teaching computers to read health records is helping fight COVID-19 – here’s how

Medical data are a wealthy supply of well being information. When mixed, the data they comprise will help researchers higher perceive illnesses and deal with them extra successfully. This contains COVID-19. However to unlock this wealthy useful resource, researchers first must learn it.

We might have moved on from the times of handwritten medical notes, however the data recorded in fashionable digital well being data might be simply as onerous to entry and interpret. It’s an previous joke that docs’ handwriting is illegible, nevertheless it seems their typing isn’t a lot better.

The sheer quantity of data contained in well being data is staggering. Day-after-day, healthcare employees in a typical NHS hospital generate a lot textual content it might take a human an age simply to scroll by way of it, not to mention learn it. Utilizing computer systems to analyse all this information is an apparent resolution, however removed from easy. What makes excellent sense to a human might be extremely troublesome for a pc to know.

Our staff is utilizing a type synthetic intelligence to bridge this hole. By instructing computer systems the way to comprehend human docs’ notes, we’re hoping they’ll uncover insights on the way to struggle COVID-19 by discovering patterns throughout many 1000’s of sufferers’ data.

Why well being data are onerous going

A major proportion of a well being file is made up of free textual content, typed in narrative type like an e mail. This contains the affected person’s signs, the historical past of their sickness, and notes about pre-existing circumstances and medicines they’re taking. There can also be related details about members of the family and way of life blended in too. And since this textual content has been entered by busy docs, there may also be abbreviations, inaccuracies and typos.

Medical doctors write data in free textual content containers is wealthy intimately however poorly organized for a machine to know. logoboom/Shutterstock

This sort of data is called unstructured information. For instance, a affected person’s file would possibly say:

Mrs Smith is a 65-year-old girl with atrial fibrillation and had a CVA in March. She had a previous historical past of a #NOF and OA. Household historical past of breast most cancers. She has been prescribed apixaban. No historical past of haemorrhage.

This extremely compact paragraph comprises a considerable amount of information about Mrs Smith. One other human studying the notes would know what data is vital and have the ability to extract it in seconds, however a pc would discover the duty extraordinarily troublesome.

Educating machines to learn

To resolve this drawback, we’re utilizing one thing referred to as pure language processing (NLP). Based mostly on machine studying and AI know-how, NLP algorithms translate the language utilized in free textual content right into a standardised, structured set of medical phrases that may be analysed by a pc.

These algorithms are extraordinarily complicated. They should perceive context, lengthy strings of phrases and medical ideas, distinguish present occasions from historic ones, establish household relationships and extra. We train them to do that by feeding them current written data to allow them to be taught the construction and which means of language – on this case, publicly accessible English textual content from the web – after which use actual medical data for additional enchancment and testing.

Utilizing NLP algorithms to analyse and extract information from well being data has enormous potential to alter healthcare. A lot of what’s captured in narrative textual content in a affected person’s notes is generally by no means seen once more. This could possibly be vital data such because the early warning indicators of significant illnesses like most cancers or stroke. With the ability to routinely analyse and flag vital points might assist ship higher care and keep away from delays in prognosis and remedy.

Discovering methods to struggle COVID-19

By drawing collectively well being data utilizing these instruments, we’re now utilizing these methods to see patterns which can be related to the pandemic. For instance, we not too long ago used our instruments to find whether or not medication generally prescribed to deal with hypertension, diabetes and different circumstances – often known as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) – enhance the probabilities of turning into severely sick with COVID-19.

The virus that causes COVID-19 infects cells by binding to a molecule on the cell floor referred to as ACE2. Each ACEIs and ARBs are thought to extend the quantity of ACE2 on the floor of cells, resulting in issues that these medication could possibly be placing folks at elevated threat from the virus.

The coronavirus (pink) binds with ACE2 proteins (blue) on the cell’s floor (inexperienced) to realize entry. Kateryna Kon/Shutterstock

Nonetheless, the data wanted to reply this query – what number of severely sick COVID-19 sufferers are being prescribed these medication – might be recorded each as structured prescriptions and in free textual content of their medical data. That free textual content must be in a computer-searchable format for a machine to reply the query.

Utilizing our NLP instruments, we have been capable of analyse the anonymised data of 1,200 COVID-19 sufferers, evaluating medical outcomes with whether or not or not sufferers have been taking these medication. Reassuringly, we discovered that folks prescribed ACEIs or ARBs have been no extra more likely to be severely sick than these not taking the medication.

We’re now increasing how we use these instruments to seek out out extra about who’s most in danger from COVID-19. As an illustration, we’ve used them to analyze the hyperlinks between ethnicity, pre-existing well being circumstances and COVID-19. This has revealed a number of placing issues: that being black or of blended ethnicity makes you extra more likely to be admitted to hospital with the illness, and that Asian sufferers, when in hospital, are at better threat of being admitted to intensive care or dying from COVID-19.

We’ve additionally used these instruments to judge the early warning scores that predict which sufferers admitted to hospital are almost certainly to change into severely sick, and to recommend what extra measures could possibly be used to enhance these scores. We’re additionally utilizing the know-how to foretell upcoming surges of COVID-19 instances, primarily based on sufferers’ signs that docs have recorded.

James Teo acquired has analysis assist from Innovate UK, the UK authorities's Workplace of Life Sciences, Bristol Myers Squibb, the NIHR Utilized Analysis Centre South London, London Medical Imaging and AI Centre for Worth-Based mostly Healthcare (AI4VBH) and the Well being Innovation Community.

Healthcare Data – Who’s Responsibility is it?

When it comes to running any business, the satisfaction of the customer, patient experience, is of utmost importance. This is especially true in the healthcare sector, due to the nature of the industry. When your business offers a product or service in the healthcare industry, you are taking private and often sensitive consumer data into your own hands. For this reason, the healthcare industry needs to work that much harder to secure customer data.

In our overly connected world, securing data is increasingly difficult. Healthcare data that was once private is no longer so, especially with the rise of social media, wearable fitness trackers, and niche healthcare apps. All of the above collect important customer data, that can often be shared with unknown third-parties for a variety of purposes.

As stated in an article on Health Affairs, “even when health information is stripped of personal identifiers, it can often be re-identified with low effort.” In fact, the article references a 2018 study in which researchers were able to easily able to “re-identify 95 percent of individual adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey using machine learning techniques.”  Thus, it is more important than ever that companies take responsibility to better secure critical healthcare data, in whatever form it takes.

Protecting Patient Data

As everything we do is becoming governed by technology and the internet, cybersecurity is quickly becoming a pressing issue. Healthcare companies are not immune to this type of danger. In fact, cybercrime has proven to be a particularly rampant issue in the healthcare sector. According to an article by Bradley University, the healthcare industry recorded the highest number of cyberattacks in 2015, surpassing sectors like government, finance, and manufacturing.

The data within the healthcare industry is not only life-giving or life-threatening to its patients but is also of high value to cybercriminals. This is because patients’ personal data is rich in lucrative information like Social Security numbers, home addresses, bank account information, insurance details and more. With all this information at stake, it is the healthcare organization’s responsibility to implement the latest cybersecurity measures.

Often cybercriminals will not target large secure databases of information. Rather, they will target professionals like family nurse practitioners and clinicians as a quick and easy entry point into a system’s data. This is why it is essential that all professionals working in the medical industry are fully aware of and prepared to combat the risks of cybercrime.

Professionals need to have a basic understanding of how cybercrime works. Cybersecurity breaches in the healthcare industry often take the form of phishing attacks and ransomware attacks. In order to safeguard data against these attacks, employees need to be careful when opening attachments and emails, as well as when responding to requests to share data and clicking on pop-up links. At an organizational level, clinics and hospitals should put firewalls in place, install pop-up blockers, consistently back up their data, and invest in employee cybersecurity training. Enlisting the help of cybersecurity professionals to secure patient data is also not a bad idea.

Other vulnerable points of entry include pharmacies and web consulting portals. For pharmacies, privacy around patient prescription data is of utmost importance. This is even more essential when it comes to diseases that carry a social stigma, like HIV and Aids. Social stigma often prevents patients from seeking medical attention, getting tested, and even from accepting treatments like Truvada. The myths and misconceptions around HIV also prohibit individuals from taking the appropriate preventative measures and ensuring their all-round well-being. Due to this stigma, it is the healthcare provider’s responsibility to assure and ensure that consumers’ data is adequately protected. If patients fear their medical data is at risk of being publicized, they are even more unlikely to seek treatment, creating a cycle of disease and disaster.

Responsible Healthcare Marketing

Marketing plays an important role in the healthcare sector. Crestline defines healthcare marketing as “the marketing that’s used by any company in the healthcare industry that provides a product or service meant to improve the health or life of a consumer.” However, due to its nature, healthcare marketing and advertising are often controversial. As marketing practices evolve, healthcare organizations need to carefully consider how to ethically present information to consumers so that they can make informed decisions about their health.

Historically, the healthcare industry has been relatively slow in terms of its investment in marketing and advertising. An article on Modern Healthcare attributes this to the fact that up until the 1980s, there were many restrictions in terms of advertising healthcare products and services.

Today, those restrictions have been lifted; but the need to ethically present healthcare data in advertising is still a relevant one. Unfortunately, many healthcare marketers opt for “fuzzy, feel-good messaging”, even though an authentic conveyance of information is the need of the hour. Due to this, more and more medical professionals are pushing for healthcare ads to be regulated, much like pharmaceutical ads are. To quote Dr. Yael Schenker, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, “There is an assumption that the advertising is … informative or fair and balanced, when that is not necessarily the case.”

Marketers tend to resist such criticisms, but ultimately, it is every healthcare organization’s responsibility to present data in a moral manner. To do so, organizations must focus on an element of honesty in any healthcare marketing campaign. Additionally, they must consider how to best reach consumers with regards to a specific campaign – be it through digital options like social media and interactive displays, or traditional methods like direct mail and radio.

Digital channels like apps tend to have greater reach, as illustrated through the example of Astellas Pharma U.S. (maker of the drug Myrbetriq). Astellas sponsored the RunPee app, which identifies optimal pee-break times during movies so that viewers don’t miss important plot events. The app has more than 600,000 users and has been great for Astellas’ visibility.

However, with greater reach comes greater responsibility; and although marketers may believe otherwise, disregarding the ethical use of healthcare data for marketing purposes can have severe repercussions. In fact, an article published in the American Journal of Bioethics claimed that the unchecked nature of healthcare marketing could “mislead patients and encourage utilization practices that work against the goals of improving quality and decreasing costs.” Thus, it is integral to only use healthcare data in advertising in a responsible manner – not only to promote consumer well-being but also to maintain organizational integrity.

Responsible Health Education

Caring for patients and individuals is often practiced outside the four walls of a hospital or clinic, and begins with health education. To further preventative care and improve the health of the human population, it is the responsibility of medical researchers, practitioners, and organizations to share their data and findings with the public. The onus lies with the healthcare industry to educate the public about current threats to health, as well as preventative lifestyle measures than can be taken in order to live a wholesome life.

For instance, today there is “more and more evidence [that] points to a connection between cardiovascular health and venous disorders like deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins,” as stated by the Center for Vein Restoration. The center released an article that explains the findings of two major research projects, that show that people who maintain their cardiovascular health significantly reduce their chances of developing deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins. In turn, they encourage clients to take up preventative methods of boosting cardiovascular health.

In education campaigns, the healthcare industry needs to be extremely careful about what data they choose to distribute and how they do so. Inappropriate distribution channels can make healthcare education a liability, as opposed to a helpful tool.

For instance, using consumer apps or social media to distribute information using sensitive research/patient data is less than ideal. Currently, a lot of apps work on the premise of “all-or-nothing” sharing. This means that they are given access to every aspect of consumer health data – even things that patients might prefer to keep private – rather than specific types of information.

Additionally, social media platforms and certain apps are notorious for “selling data” to third-parties, even though they constantly deny this controversial claim. To quote Brett Meeks, vice president of policy and legal for the Center for Medical Interoperability from a New York Times article, “Facebook, Google and others are currently under scrutiny for being poor stewards of consumer data. Why would you carte blanche hand them your health data on top of it so they could do whatever they want with it?” While social media platforms are no doubt useful to proliferate information, it is ultimately up to healthcare educators and providers to ensure that this information is not mismanaged and used for malicious purposes. Thus, a well-thought-out and wary approach must be taken when it comes to distributing data and health education.

—-

From safeguarding systems that store a patient’s personal data to using research data in an appropriate to educate the public (and not simply for marketing purposes), the healthcare industry needs to step up its game in terms of handling the data it is entrusted with. Consequently, those working in the healthcare industry need to be aware of the weight and nature of their responsibility.

Stuart Jeffries Fulfills Jonathan Miller

Determine the Angle: According to your demands, calculate the angle and also precise location of the bend. The safety and security document of a metal construction organization is extremely vital to the success of your item. Hydraulic, computer system controlled sheet metal brakes are very expensive and also made use of for high-volume industrial or building use. get redirected here -macam proses bending yaitu angel flexing, press brake flexing, attract flexing, rol bending, rol creating, seaming, aligning, dan flanging. Occasionally, though, the signs and symptoms of hefty steel poisoning is believed to be caused by another persistent illness such as autism, fatigue syndrome, numerous sclerosis, etc Delivering business are likewise seeking such commercial divers with welding field of expertise. It's a proven fact that steel roof disperses the sun's rays, but lighter shades tend to be extra affective compared to dark shades. Due to the fact that there's no various other action included, repainting a newly set up steel roof covering is simple. For stable arc, the welding device need to be such kind that a little variation in arc length (i.e. voltage) must not snuff out the arc. For that reason, more and more sailboats -and also smaller sized motor watercrafts - are being made from aluminum.

In this type of welding, a filler cable that develops the arc is used making a weld steel which is transferred in the room between 2 metal plates that are to be joined. Friedrich Wöhler is usually attributed with isolating aluminium (Latin alumen, alum) in 1827 by blending anhydrous aluminium chloride with potassium. The market is swamped with plethora of varieties of the metal roof's that drops in various cost brace. Moreover, the wire cooled down after MIG welding is usually sterner and for this reason more difficult to be hammered. And historically, as Gartner's Lydia Leong reminded me, SoftLayer's previous CloudLayer brand provided a solitary pay-by-the-hour bare steel setup. Such fractures can not just create along the steel grain borders, yet likewise throughout the grain advancement. Breaking up a Chi Blocker with fast fire flexing punches, changing to hefty planet strikes for a significant storage tank, doing crowd control with air bursts and after that shooting off water missiles for remote adversaries takes method however becomes a seamless process. Undoubtedly, you simply need to learn the few methods and techniques along the way to put together the process of this sort of welding a little bit simpler and obviously to construct much better, boosted and also boosted welds. However just like the complexity of eye shade phenotypic expression in people, one of the most logical answer is the interplay of numerous alleles to turn on the bending gene. Allow us see some of the affordable welders as well as the most effective welding equipments in the markets. The most effective thing Miller has going with. them is that when among their welding devices breaks, They have great client assistance. Sellers I've spoken with have stated that the black steel futon structure is the top solution headache when it concerned futons with over 95% of service problems being the failing of a black metal frame element. When it does involve welding tests with ceramic support tape it's going to most likely be just a 2G as well as 3G weld test. If you are operating in a welding group, then you should opt for some security prescription to protect on your own. The Egyptians, Greeks, as well as Romans all discovered brand-new and also differed methods of developing tools and also tools from steel by using pressure to warm or cold steel sheet to create a shape they desired. Given that ERW steel pipeline is utilized as the base product making use of welding materials, so its properties of the weld and also base metal homes have a better connection. Lots of metal roof covering items will qualify for a $500 power tax credit score which you can declare with the Internal Revenue Service. Now that the table top is completed, maintain it upside down (remember, make a steel bowl). The counterpoint between the meditative spirit behind flexing as well as the game's stringent trouble is jarring at first, but it's a matter of viewpoint. Due to the rapidly decreasing expense of sensors and computational power, the MatterFab maker was constructed to offer up steel 3D printing at an order of size less than other products that are readily available to makers today. Recuperation of the metal by means of recycling has come to be a crucial facet of the aluminium industry. In addition validate regarding the insurance policy qualifications of the metal roofing business. Procedure from the end of the channel to the new length you determined, and also note the avenue at this point. Nevertheless, not everyone inherited them and also over the course of millenia, their lengthy line of offspring led to bending being all-natural for an excellent part of the nations. Among the greatest issues I see with electricians bending avenue is that they fail to remember, or ignore, the constraints placed on the variety of degrees permissable without a joint box. ATM's, pay-at-the-pump, computers, printers, CAD/CAM software as well as other things have displaced essentially millions of blue and white collar jobs. Blog post fabrication cleaning would usually be made use of to eliminate any kind of welding warmth tint or contamination, for instance. For example, kerfing is not a suitable method for bending plywood to earn a skateboard ramp. A lot of thermometers, microscopic lens, inlays, and other instruments used by physicians and also their co-health employees are constructed from steel. As an example, a mitred 3mm leg length fillet weld is not truly possible in production, despite just what the drawings may say, as well as it is very important that the welding engineer makes sure that weld stop/ starts are not in the stress hot spots recognized in design. You can not think to grab any kind of steel roofing material by utilizing the common word- steel roofing. The temperature level of the steel where welding pass will be used influences the quality of the weld. A proper steel construction welding procedure for the aerospace sector consist of having a facility that make use of composite part manufacture as well as production line jigs in dimensions that range from table top to a total system. Cutting aluminum develops a lot of steel fragments, which can be hot, sharp, or both. Support gas is not usually essential for the fluxing welding processes (Mixed Martial Arts, FCA as well as SA) or for double sided welding. Nevertheless, whether the pain being brought on by a misaligned or changing patella (knee cap), way too much anxiety on the muscle mass and also ligaments in the knee, or other of a variety of conditions, chances are a knee support can aid. By reusing aluminium cans as well as various other items, you can minimize your influence on the setting and help in reducing air pollution. All the very best with your roof job, and also keep in mind, be positive, make educated choices. Seaming merupakan operasi bending yang digunakan untuk menyambung ujung lembaran logam sehingga membentuk benda kerja, sambungan dibentuk menggunakan roll-roll kecil yang disusun secara berurutan. Aluminium raises estrogen-related gene expression in human bust cancer cells expanded in the laboratory.30 These salts' estrogen-like impacts have actually caused their classification as a metalloestrogen. Welding whatever type it might be, it is dangerous if you not put on appropriate welding devices. However if you wish to go additionally, or you desire your boat to be of a certain layout, select light weight aluminum or steel. Paint is a crucial material that has the capacity to shield the steel roof covering for a long time. All TPS bending makers have the product radar, which can real-timely keep track of any product slipping and stretching throughout flexing. This particular welding cable television is available in a brilliant florescent jacket and it is mosting likely to cost 20 to 40% greater than various other sort of welding wires.

Grant Hill Q&A: ‘I Wouldn’t be Shocked if Loyola Cuts Down the Nets’

To put it mildly, the last day of March is a big day for Grant Hill.

The two-time NCAA champion will be calling his fourth consecutive Final Four for Turner Sports with Jim Nantz, Bill Raftery, and Tracy Wolfson, his second biggest accomplishment of the evening. By the time the first game tips-off at 6 PM on TBS (friendly reminder to those stuck on tourneys long past, that’s TBS not CBS), Hill will (officially) be a proud member of the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. The actual announcement won’t come until Saturday afternoon, but Adrian Wojnarowski’s sources already have Hill in Springfield, Mass. alongside no-brainers Steve Nash and Jason Kidd and Sixers champion point guard Maurice Cheeks.

Given his notorious injury history, Hill’s NBA career is often viewed through a What If? lens, but it’s been a Hall-worthy career that far exceeds his medical records. He’s a seven-time All-Star, made an All-NBA team five times, and of course, there are his incredible years in Durham and 1996 Olympic gold. And not for nothing, but he’s regarded as one of the nicest guys around hoops, which is why he won the NBA Sportsmanship Award three times.

Hill took time out of preparing to call the Final Four—starting with No. 3 Michigan Short Shorts vs. No. 11 Loyola Chicago Fighting Sister Jeans and followed by the No. 1 heavyweight showdown between Villanova and Kansas—to speak to VICE Sports. He talks about the highs and lows of his long basketball life, Duke hatred, hammering on ShaqIlvaine, and trying to keep up with Bill Raftery, in broadcasting and barflying.

First things first, let’s go back to the flat-top days, when Grant Hill yanked a ball out of the sky and his long winding road to the Hall of Fame began…

This interview took place before Hill learned he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. It has been edited for clarity.

VICE Sports: Before we get to the NCAA Tourney, I want to ask how you’re feeling about the Hall-of-Fame announcement, a mere 48-hours away…

Grant Hill: My fingers are definitely crossed. There are some amazing finalists—Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Ray Allen to start—so it’s a tough class. Prepping for the Final Four this weekend while knowing the announcement is coming is exciting and nerve-wracking all at once.

I think you’re going to get in Saturday because Springfield looks at a player’s entire career, not just the professional years, but that being said, I looked at your NBA stats and had forgotten how many great seasons you had. Do you think your stellar NBA resume gets overshadowed by seasons lost to injury?

It’s interesting, people I talk to across the country tend to put my basketball career into one of three buckets: The Detroit Piston era, a general respect for overcoming all the injuries, or the main one, Duke. Naturally during March Madness, it’s all Duke all the time, but no matter what time of year, it’s what I’m connected to first. The Kansas dunk and the pass to Laettner will live forever. The NBA injuries are a part of my story, but I wouldn’t say it overshadowed the rest of my pro career. It’s more about certain memories stick with fans and mine are generally from college. Even knowing all we accomplished on those amazing Blue Devil teams, I never thought people would still ask me about it a quarter-century later.

One last Hall-of-Fame question, you started out in the iso-ball era, and then spent five-years at the end running with the Phoenix Suns. Nobody in the NBA is playing Michael Jordan/Kobe Bryant clear-out hoops anymore, but everybody owes a debt to the Suns. Are Mike D’Antoni and impending inductee Steve Nash getting enough credit for changing the game?

You can’t overlook the Kings of the early 2000s, the free-flowing way they played, or even what Don Nelson was doing on the Mavericks with Steve Nash, but I think D’Antoni has perfected it. The league has transitioned because D’Antoni’s system coincided with rule changes offering more freedom of movement and less physicality. It’s funny because playing against those Suns teams in 2004-05, I looked around and it’s like ‘what the hell is going on out here?’ It was total chaos with their different sets and styles, but then playing with them, it all made sense. Now it’s the entire league and I don’t think D’Antoni and Nash are recognized enough for revolutionizing the NBA. The curious thing is, will it ever swing back?

Let’s switch to college. You may or may not be aware of this, but there are more than a few people out there who don’t care for Duke, placing them on the Yankees-Patriots spectrum of teams fans love to loathe. Are most people good-natured about it, or do you get tired or defensive about the Duke hate?

No, not at all. It’s great. Love or hate ‘em, it speaks to the passion of college basketball. There are themes as to why Duke is reviled, the whole I Hate Christian Laettner idea, but it’s really rooted in the success of the program. You can’t deny the historical domination of the Patriots or the Yankees, and hate Duke all you want, but the same is true for what Mike Krzyzewski has accomplished. It’s about excellence and playing the right way. It’s an honor to have played a small role in his legacy. Duke evokes emotion. Good, bad, or indifferent.

As for fans talking trash? It’s almost always joking and in good fun. But don’t forget, I played in the NBA for nineteen seasons, I can talk trash. I can take it and I give it out too.

Last Sunday’s Duke-Kansas game was an absolute classic—and I know it’s your job as a broadcaster—but inside, is it hard to keep your emotions or loyalties in check when Grayson Allen’s floater somehow misses twice?

I’ve done a number of Duke games, all of them when they won in 2015 [ Ed note: Hill laughed adding ‘‘or when we won it if that’s how you want to put it’], but the responsibility as a broadcaster is to be an analyst and provide insight. When it’s a classic, you get lost in the game, and anything outside of what’s happening on the court vanishes. It’s the exact same thing as when I was playing in close NCAA tournament games. During Duke-Kansas, I was completely captivated and reacting to the action unfolding. Coach K used to prepare us for each NCAA weekend by saying we were playing in a “four-team tournament.” Looking at the 64-team bracket can be overwhelming, so lock in and focus on the four-team tournament, and replicate it three times. I take the same approach to television. As a player or broadcaster, getting lost in the game is the reason for doing it.

After a game like Duke-Kansas, I might wish it went the other way, but as a broadcaster, I get to know coaches and kids from both sides. I love Bill Self. I had a great time hanging out on Saturday with Devonte’ Graham and Malik Newman, and know the heartbreak of losing in the regional finals two years in a row. It’s such a privilege to get to know these kids—Carolina! We called back-to-back Tar Heel Finals with Joel Berry and Theo Pinson, who dapped me up before the tip-off! It’s suppose to be sacreligious as a Dookie, but getting to know kids, and experience their stories like UMBD or Loyola, is the best part of the job.

This is your fourth Final Four, is it akin to your senior year where you know what you need to do down cold?

I actually feel like it’s the fourth game of my freshmen season. Here I am at center court in a huge arena, with the best seats in the house, next to two legendary broadcasters in Jim Nantz and Bill Raftery, so I still get pre-game jitters. Once the game starts, I feel more comfortable for sure, but I’ll never catch up to Nantz or Raft in terms of experience. I’m just trying to get better.

Every year, the bigger part of the NCAA tournament experience, however, is how much fun we have. I look forward to the whirlwind month when Nantz, Raftery, Tracy Wolfson, and myself are joined at the hip. It’s an odd little family, but we generally like each other. The off-screen camaraderie is even more important than the on-screen chemistry.

Question pertaining to my interests: Your freshman year slam against Kansas in the Finals is the most famous, but as a Marquette alumni, I want to ask about another dunk that came two years later in the Sweet Sixteen—

Three years later. You’re talking about the Jim McIlvaine dunk, my senior season.

Ah, so clearly you remember it.

I knew about Jim McIlvaine because he won the 93-94 Defensive Player of the Year, which I won the previous season. Mac was a great shot blocker, no doubt, but I had it in my mind before the game to get him. In the first half I was facilitating, setting guys up, waiting until the right time to step in, and not doing a lot of scoring. But I remember the guy Marquette had on me was just yapping, wouldn’t stopped talking trash. I think he was a small forward—

Roney Eford

Eford, right. First half I was like Okay, Alright… I’d been playing off the ball, so at halftime, I told Jeff Capel let me take the point and go to work. I think I caught an alley-oop, and then later, I just blew by Eford and dunked on Mac. I got him. It was a nice little moment.

What should fans look for at the Final Four? Who’s dancing at the end?

Professional obligations mean I don’t make predictions, but I honestly believe all the Final Four teams have a shot regardless of seeding. They all have guys who excel at shooting from the perimeter, so it’s which team is going to bury 15-18 threes. Playing in a dome can have an adverse effect, it is different. So Villanova has the experience factor, but each team has good spacing and multiple shooters who can get hot.

Do you really think America’s sweethearts, the Loyola Ramblers, can win twice?

To be honest, I thought they would lose their first game, and certainly not get out of opening weekend, but no fluke team makes the Final Four. It’s earned over four games, and Loyola has been fairly dominant with the three-pointer opening up the floor. I’m not a betting man, not Jimmy the Greek, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Loyola cuts down the nets.

Last question. I, like most of America, want to have beers with Bill Raftery. What’s a night out drinking with him like?

For starters, know that Raft doesn’t do beer. Also know his stamina is amazing. Unbelievable. We’ll be at dinner with wine, maybe a nightcap, then the next morning you’re struggling and he’s going like he just bagged twelve hours of sleep. I never know quite how to prepare for a night out with Raft. Do you build up endurance? Or limit participation?

We joke about it on air, but the main thing is, it’s a great time for fellowship. We have a blast.

The Year of the Baby Bigs: the next wave of freshmen stars have arrived

It’s the year of the freshman big man in college basketball.

The demise of the big man has been greatly exaggerated — at least at the college level. It was only three seasons ago that freshman Jahlil Okafor anchored Duke’s national championship run with picture-perfect post play. Last year, North Carolina won the national title by owning the glass and controlling the paint with two traditional bigs in Kennedy Meeks and Isaiah Hicks starting up front.

The amount of frontcourt talent this season is going to be even more jarring. While last season’s freshman class was defined by dynamic point guards, this year’s best incoming talents are almost exclusively big men. It’s a diverse mix of stars that will make the college game a richer place, even if it’s only for a year.

The Year of the Baby Bigs is upon us. These are best freshman big men in the country.

The ideal rim protector

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Mohamed Bamba, Texas

The Harlem-bred Bamba enters Texas as a center of historical proportions — literally. With a 7’9’’ wingspan and 9’6’’ standing reach, Bamba will be the longest player in NBA history when he inevitably becomes a lottery pick a year from now. While he has him, Longhorns coach Shaka Smart is about to employ a big man whose sheer size will change the geometry of the court.

How he plays: Bamba’s impact will be felt first and foremost on the defensive end. His length alone would make him a terror as a shot blocker, but Bamba is also an inquisitive kid who thinks the game. We’re talking about a player who flew out to the Sloan Analytics Conference in Boston to ask a question about defending the pick-and-roll.

His combination of reach, smarts and agility should make him one of the best rim protectors in college basketball from day one. Expect him to swallow up ball handlers and reject shots all year long.

How he fits: Smart has been cautious to fully deploy his patented press since he arrived in Austin, but that could change with Bamba. Texas has a host of athletic guards who can apply ball pressure and now has the ultimate eraser on the backline. The ‘Horns were among the most disappointing teams in the country with a one-and-done center last year in Jarrett Allen, but another year for everyone in the system should make a push for an NCAA tournament bid that much more realistic.

The physical marvel

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

DeAndre Ayton, Arizona

The legend of DeAndre Ayton started when he put up 17 points and 18 rebounds in an exhibition game against North Carolina three years ago while playing for his native Bahamas. This was as a 15-year-old, who had just finished his freshman year of high school. Almost immediately after, Ayton developed a reputation by some as the best long-term prospect in the American pipeline at any level.

Ayton’s stock fell slightly over the last two years as scouts questioned his motor, but his talent remains unimpeachable. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if he’s one of the best players in the country, regardless of position or class, from the moment he takes the floor for Sean Miller.

How he plays: Arizona is getting a center with ideal measurables — 7’1”, 250 pounds, 7’5’’ wingspan — who’s also an elite athlete with soft touch on his jumper. He will have an immediate impact as a rebounder and inside scorer, and he comes with the added bonus of also being an 81 percent free throw shooter on Nike’s EYBL circuit. Simply put, this is a certifiable unicorn in every way.

How he fits: The only real worry with Ayton’s offense is that sometimes he falls in love with his jumper too much. To keep him engaged and productive all season, Arizona should do its best to give him a constant bevy of touches in the paint. Miller remembers what happened last year when his team froze out its star freshman in the Sweet 16. He doesn’t need to see that again. If the Wildcats can get Ayton to reach his ceiling, this is Miller’s best chance at finally breaking through to the Final Four.

After spending his entire prep career as a 2018 recruit, Bagley saw an opportunity to finish his schoolwork early, skip his senior year, commit to Duke, and become eligible immediately. Now he’ll push to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft while also making the Blue Devils the top team in preseason polls. Duke has had a lot of one-and-done stars in its recent history, and Bagley is as good as any of them.

How he plays: Bagley has rare speed and agility for a 6’11’’ lefty big man. He’s going to be a monster as an inside scorer, rebounder, and shot blocker, and he’ll flash a jump shot, too. Bagley also might quietly be the best ball handler on this list. He won’t be hesitant to push the ball down the court and get in the open floor after grabbing a rebound. If you’re looking for a comparison, think Anthony Davis with a better feel offensively at this stage, but with inferior instincts and tools defensively.

How he fits: Duke has embraced small ball as much as it’s embraced the one-and-done the last few years. That makes this year’s front court fascinating with traditional big men Bagley, Wendell Carter (more on him in the minute,) and Marques Bolden seemingly set to hold down all of the available front court minutes. It’s possible Bagley’s numbers won’t be overwhelming just because Duke has so many other options on offense — where Grayson Allen, Trevon Duval, and Gary Trent Jr. could form college basketball’s best perimeter. Regardless, Bagley has more talent than anyone on this team and should be a highlight machine all year.

The big in wing clothing

Michael Porter Jr., Missouri

Porter was committed to Washington until March when the Huskies fired Lorenzo Romar and set off a chain reaction across college basketball. New Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin promptly hired former Washington assistant Michael Porter Sr., and both of his talented sons quickly followed him to Columbia. Mizzou hoops has been reborn, and it’s all because of the Porter family.

Michael Jr. is the real prize as a versatile combo forward with the type of overwhelming talent required to be the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Expectations are firmly set for him to have a Kevin Durant-type of freshman season. If it happens, Mizzou should finally be in the NCAA tournament for the first time in five years.

How he plays: Porter looks like the prototype for the modern basketball player — a 6’10’’ forward groomed all his life to be a primary scoring option from the outside-in. He’ll be at the center of Mizzou’s offense all year, whether he’s taking tough off-the-dribble jumpers, launching three-pointers, or using his elite athleticism to have an impact on the offensive glass. Bet that Porter ends the season among the country’s top-10 leading scorers.

How he fits: Porter will be a star at any spot on the floor, but it will be fascinating to see if Martin views him primarily as a wing or big. Porter has the skill set to play small forward, but he’ll be even more effective lined up at power forward against slower defenders. The only problem is that Mizzou is already stacked in the front court with fellow freshmen Jontay Porter and Jeremiah Tilmon. That leaves Martin with a captivating question — Is it better to get the most talent on the floor, or maximize the unique gifts of your superstar?

The post master

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Wendell Carter Jr., Duke

Carter was a staple near the top of the 2017 recruiting rankings from the moment they were developed. He’s as accomplished as any player in the class coming from the high school level, where he won two gold medals with USA Basketball and two state titles at Atlanta’s Pace Academy. You might know him as the five-star recruit who gave serious consideration to Harvard. Now he’s ready to be the man in the middle for a Duke team with national-title-or-bust expectations.

How he plays: Carter is a throwback big who does his best work on the block and attacking the glass. He’s at his best scoring with his back to basket, but he also has a developing face-up game with decent touch on his jumper. Carter is a strong, physical player who will be a force in the paint from day one.

How he fits: Carter and Bagley seem to complement each other well in the front court — Carter can score down low while Bagley operates out of the mid-post. It’s worth noting that this is a change for recent Duke teams, which have typically played with only one traditional big man on the court. The question is whether Duke’s defense can benefit from the extra size while its offense loses some shooting. The truth is that if Carter and Bagley play up to their talent levels, Duke is going to be a major problem for the rest of the country all season long.

The stretch shooter

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Jaren Jackson Jr., Michigan State

Jackson, the son of a former NBA player, rose in the rankings late in his high school career after impressive showings at the McDonald’s All-American Game and Nike Hoop Summit. He’s now viewed as a legitimate top-10 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, as well as the newcomer who could push Michigan State to become national title favorites if he reaches his sizable ceiling.

How he plays: Jackson has an NBA-ready frame to go along with a burgeoning skill set that’s so en vogue in today’s game. Start with the size: at 6’11’’, 242 pounds with a 7’4’’ wingspan, he’s big enough to play center at any level. He’s also a natural shooter who shot 40 percent from three-point range during his high school career. Every team wants a big man with the length to protect the rim and the skill to stretch the floor with a jump shot. Michigan State actually has one.

How he fits: Nick Ward was one of the most impressive post scorers in the country as a freshman last season for the Spartans. Jackson would seem to complement him perfectly as a longer, more-skilled player who can give him room to operate by stepping out to the three-point line. Superstar sophomore Miles Bridges will surely steal minutes at the four as well, giving the Spartans arguably the most stacked frontcourt rotation in the country.

Tale Of The Tape: Cowboys vs. Giants (Part 1)

Here is the season opening edition of Tale of Tape. This week the Cowboys’ opponent is the New York “Football” Giants as Coach Jason Garret would call them. Right out of the gate, this game will carry the weight of playoff implications. While no team not named the Jets will be eliminated in week 1, this is an all-important divisional tilt against the only team that appeared to solve the riddle of Dak Prescott last season.

Let’s take a look at how these teams compare by position. Today we will take a look at the offensive units, with a comparison of the defenses and special teams coming next.

Quarterback

Eli Manning is one of the most polarizing figures in recent NFL history. He is a two-time Super Bowl champion and MVP of both games. His career accomplishments have given his supporters ammunition to say he’s had a Hall of Fame career. Conversely, Manning’s statistics tell a different story. He has performed as an average to below average level QB for the majority of his career. Even though 2016 was hailed as a really good season for Manning, he still had 4 TIMES as many interceptions as Dak Prescott.

Dak Prescott is coming off the best statistical season for a rookie QB in league history. Many national writers are predicting the dreaded “sophomore slump” for Prescott. Fortunately for the Cowboys, nothing in this offseason or preseason has indicated that Prescott will fall off. He has performed in an exemplary fashion in the preseason and everything we’ve heard from the team is that he is one of the hardest workers in the building. Experience matters but…

ADVANTAGE – Cowboys

Running back

Whether or not Ezekiel Elliot dresses for the Sunday night tilt against the Giants, the Cowboys will have at least two 1000 yard rushers who have looked good in the preseason. You could pick, Elliott, Darren McFadden or Alfred Morris as the lead back and have a solid runner.  This is not something you could say about the Giants stable of ball carriers.

The Giants are publicly professing their belief in Paul Perkins. I was high on him coming out of UCLA and he has potential to be a good NFL RB. Shane Vereen is now healthy and trying to get back a high level as the 3rd down terror he was a couple of years ago. That is where the positives end. Vereen has ball security issues as he fumbled twice in 2016 on only 44 total touches. There is very little to be excited about beyond those two. That said, the Cowboys quality depth and the unknown effects of missing most of last year for Vereen mean…

ADVANTAGE – Cowboys

Wide Receiver

Odell Beckham, Jr will be the most talented and productive WR on the field this Sunday night. Beckham’s impact on the field over his first 3 years has reached Randy Moss level greatness. OBJ is always a nightmare for opposing defenses, but this week he is still suffering the lingering effects of his frightful preseason injury. That hit left him with the dreaded high-ankle sprain and kept him riding the bike on the sidelines for Monday’s team practice. These types of injuries generally take 4-6 weeks to fully heal and could limit his effectiveness for the first part of the season. Still, it is highly likely that OBJ plays in week 1 and it would be dangerous for Dallas to expect him to be anything but his normal self.

He will be joined on the field by one of last year’s top rookie WRs Sterling Shepard. Shepard is a good slot receiver and can be a matchup problem for his opponents. Where the Giants seem to have improved this group the most is with the addition of Brandon Marshall. Marshall has been a true #1 WR for most of his career but he suffered a drop off across the board with the dumpster fire that was the New York Jets in 2016. The Giants are betting that with more stability, he can return to bullying DBs and scoring touchdowns.

Dez Bryant is a top 10 talent at WR. While his usage in the Cowboys’ system will probably keep him from ever reaching the overall production of OBJ, Antonio Brown or Julio Jones, Bryant is more than capable of dominating games.  If Sterling Shepard can be a matchup problem, Cole Beasley is a matchup nightmare. He quickly developed a rapport with Dak Prescott and has become a major weapon in the Cowboys high-octane offense. Terrance Williams is a quality WR who’s blocking has made him a favorite of the coaching staff, even if most fans don’t appreciate him.  If Brandon Marshall can recapture his 2015 mojo as expected, this is a slight…

ADVANTAGE – Giants

Tight End

Jason Witten seems to have found the Fountain of Youth as his performances this preseason have been great. Witten’s value as a safety valve in the passing game and a zone blocker have remained vital even while his ability as a down field threat has diminished. James Hanna was one of the faster TEs in his draft class but has carved out a place on the team by being an outstanding point-of-attack blocker. Geoff Swaim isn’t great in any one area, but he’s above average at everything.

Evan Engram was a talented member of what was considered a historically good 2017 TE draft class. His abilities as a down field receiver give the Giants another major threat in their pass-heavy offensive scheme. A lot of people thought he was over drafted in the first round due to his inability to block in-line. This is an even bigger problem with the shortcomings the Giants have had recently with their offensive line performance. The rest of the players in the Giants’ TE room appear to be just “guys”. Engram may grow into a new generation TE one day, but for now this isn’t close…

ADVANTAGE – Cowboys

Offensive Line

Ereck Flowers is still starting for the Giants at left tackle. Let that sink in. Justin Pugh at guard and Weston Richburg have proven to be quality players but the rest of the line is a mess. Reclamation project DJ Fluker is trying to prove he can play guard after failing at tackle in San Diego.

Dallas has the luxury of three All-Pros in their starting five. But there’s the rub. They need to be at least solid, if not good, at those other two positions (LG and RT) if they hope to keep playing bully ball. La’el Collins has shown more good than bad at RT and that could be enough to replace Doug Free. Free was a good tackle but last year he was severely limited as his body broke down. We are six days from game time and the team STILL hasn’t chosen their replacement for Ron Leary at LG. That is disturbing as continuity can help an o-line perform better than the sum of its parts. Even with these lingering questions…

10 realistic privateness hints for the publish-privateness net

ISPs and carriers can now promote your information and browser histories. The U.S. Congress bought you out. In case you had any surfing dignity, you don’t now. Too horrific you couldn’t pay the legislators as a lot because of the facts wolves.

You need to have been doing these items all alongside, but now it’s time to decide just how a great deal dignity you’ve got. Maximum of you received’t bother. This isn’t for you. Click away, and cross surf.

For those closing, take those privateness tips significantly.

1. Train your self about cookies and clean them out often

For some of you, this means a day by day cleanout. What you DO No longer easy out (will cause you hassles) are cookies associated with economic establishments. They’ll place you via a drill when they don’t discover the cookie that they like. Scrape them. Every browser has the capacity to do this, with Chrome being the hardest. but we’re No longer surprised as it’s from Google—the organization whose very life depends on understanding statistics about you.

2. Use two, or maybe 3, browsers

You can divide your cookies up this way. I take advantage of Firefox for business. Chrome for Facebook and, once I virtually must, for gmail—as I volunteer for an employer that makes use of it significantly due to the fact they’re dust bad. You still have to clean every browser. Upload the EFF’s privateness Badger to every. For amusing, run Ghostery and privacy Badger to capture it all.

three. Disable Flash or option it

Use Flash handiest while you need to. While you use a Flash blocker, You may frequently run web pages without it. Examples consist of United Airlines and PayPal. The handiest time you should use Flash is if a page refuses to load without it. Flash can suck substantial quantities of historic records from your browser in a heartbeat.

4. Exchange your DNS server

whilst you type https://www.Facebook.Com, the first aspect that occurs is your browser asks a DNS server for Facebook’s current IP address. Every request you make of a browser is looked up in this manner. And Most cable broadband services and ISPs use DNS servers that log your Every search. Wonder!

Anywhere you pass, the time and your personally identifiable IP address grow to be logged to serve up as tasty statistics for those that could abuse it. Exchange it. Each running machine does this differently. Look up how to do it. DO Now not USE GOOGLE’S DNS server. Use one that doesn’t log you. The DNS.Watch servers do No longer log requests. They’re No longer in particular speedy or sluggish, in my revel in. Comcast, by means of comparison, will devour your DNS request facts up to seven times before giving your browser the real answer in my enjoy. There are DNS servers. Stop the DNS logging; one greater lawn hose you positioned your heel into.

five. Lose engines like google that track you. Now

Yep, Google, Bing, and Yahoo track you. Alternatively, use DuckDuckGo.Com. They don’t song. You may proxy requests that aren’t tracked to every of these from DuckDuckGo. Prevent feeding the demons.

The biggie search engines like google and yahoo have a business version built upon serving you pimped/paid-for consequences, and noting precisely what you searched for so that you may be served up advertisements—and subsequently your IP deal with and browsing conduct may be correlated into dossiers on you and your seek history. often these also can be used to conflate “things” or characteristics approximately you, and you have no redress once they make errors. You built Google’s billions. It wasn’t because Google became benign.

6. Use the Tor browser(s)

The Onion Router/TOR uses a community within a community to difficult to understand the foundation of requests manufactured from the network. It puts you on the radar as it behaves in a different way, but it does offer a degree of anonymity. It’s No longer best, and I believe it’s been cracked, however handiest by the governmental spooks who don’t promote your records. As a minimum, I’m hoping they don’t.

7. Do away with your records on websites

A few sites will assist you to delete your for my part identifiable information and search histories. Searching for you, Google. Go to these websites. Carefully observe the commands regarding deleting your records. Then go back later, and ensure it’s long gone. Unfortunately, that is a rinse-repeat object, as now and again histories magically return. Oh, gosh! That shouldn’t manifest.

eight. When you have the luxurious, Trade ISPs

You’ll be captive to Constitution, AT&T, Google, Comcast, and so on. but If you stay in an area with a couple of vendors, Alternate. Why? You get a good deal for being a new subscriber (watch contract information). And the ISP you presently have is not able to vacuum all of the info you generate in the use of internet services. Their facts have gaps and aren’t as precious.

9. Use virtual machines

Sure, walking a virtual system for the sole reason of disguising a browser works. It’s a unique browser and is typified from an analytics attitude as probably an extraordinary user. clean every VM’s history similar to you’ll above, and use the same strategies mentioned above as nicely. It makes life greater tough for the statistics grazers.

10. Modify your browser as little as feasible

Browsers are typified into single individuals by way of weird matters which include font blend, Upload-ins, and extensions. The much less a browser is messed with, the less unique it’s far. Strong point allows non-public identity and correlation of analytical records captured at websites approximately the browser. Be generic.

Finally, use https logons simplest. There are so many motives to try this. Freedom and dignity are important. Exercise them.

Keeping Yourself Secure - 10 tips better than a tin foil hat.

Security has been particularly at the forefront of the public eye recently with the US deciding to let ISPs sell browsing history and the constant news stories about government spying, election hacking and more. 

I’ve personally been affected by data breaches too. In the past few years both Evernote and PaddyPower were hacked and user details stolen. I used the same login for these two sites and also Netflix, and a few years later I noticed from my viewing history that someone had been using my Netflix for months. I’m lucky I didn’t use that password in many other places!

I thought I’d share some of the tips on what I do to keep secure, and share some resources for further reading. 

1. Encrypt your hard drives. 

I’m not sure the process of this on Windows, however on MacOS, turn on file vault under the system preferences/security section. I chose to keep my recovery key myself rather than let it save to iCloud too, to stop iCloud potentially being compromised. 

2. Use duck duck go instead of Google. 

It may take some getting used to, but DuckDuckGo is a great search engine that doesn’t track you. You can also still get results from google routed through Duck Duck Go by typing !google then your search. 

3. Use an add blocker on mobile and desktop.

I’m currently using 1blocker on iOS and adblock on my Mac. Not only does this stop ads tracking you, it also speeds up a lot of pages.

4. 2-Factor Authentication. 

This is perhaps the most important on the list. The concept of two factor is getting a code along with your password that updates usually every 30 seconds. For instance you log in to a website with your usual username and password then the site asks for your 2 factor authentication code. Some sites have their own hardware for this (banks in particular), some have their own app (google, blizzard, microsoft) and some send you a text message with the code (tumblr, microsoft, LinkedIn). My personal recommendation is to have this on for every site that supports it. Use https://twofactorauth.org to see if your service supports two factor auth.

5. Use strong unique passwords for everything.

I know this is impossible to keep track of, so I recommend using 1Password to store them all. 1Password also has a handy method of letting it keep track of your two factor authentication codes too. Using a mix of lower/upper case chars, symbols, numbers and a long password is essential. 

6. Find my iOS Device. 

On iOS this means I have find my iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch turned on. I also have the ability through this to remotely wipe any of those devices should they be stolen. 

7. Strong password on mobile.

A lot of people don’t know this, but you can actually set any password as your login for your iOS devices. 

Mines is 20+ alpha numeric characters. It sounds cumbersome but with touchID, you rarely enter your device password anymore. Another tip: if you’re ever crossing a border or arrested for any reason and don’t want to disclose personal or business data on your mobile device, turn the devices off. They’ll require you to use your password rather than touch ID when they’re turned back on, and a court can’t order you to give up a password in the same way it can order you to unlock with your fingerprint.

8. Erase disk on login attempts.

My iOS devices are set to wipe data after 10 failed passcode events. Simple and effective.

9. VPN. 

Use a VPN where possible, especially on public wifi networks. This stops anyone in the middle being able to see your internet traffic, be that hackers, the establishment providing the wifi, ISPs, government officials. Private browsing won’t help keep you secure either, which is a common misconception. The only thing private browsing does is stop history being logged on your current machine. Those logs are still on routers and access points. Find a list of VPN features here: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/

10. Avoid putting data online you don’t want known.

This one seems obvious to some, but don’t post anything on Facebook, Instagram, or Google that you wouldn’t want someone knowing. These companies make a massive amount of money by selling your data to advertisers and historically have either been blind to, or allowed governments to read through your private data without even a warrant.
