"That is so wonderful! :) I hope you two have a great year!",
"Thanks for writing this comment. We really don’t say that.\n\nI work in an emergency department and have to give bad news often regarding brain and spinal cord trauma.\n\nThese are some of the worst moments in a family’s life—I can appreciate that memories aren’t going to be perfect in a crisis.\n\nStill, neither I nor any other physician I’ve ever worked with would say something like “no chance” until literal brain death has been declared.\n\nI think the narrative of “never walk again” or “just told us to pull the plug” serves a literary purpose: it reframes the story with a human opponent and cues the listener that the patient will beat the odds and succeed.\n\nAfter all, no dramatic storytelling that starts with “doctors said he would never walk again” ends with “they were right, he’s in a wheelchair now” unless it’s an Anthony Jeselnik joke.\n\nAlong these same lines will come a litany of comments regarding willpower, i.e. the she’s “a fighter” or “had other plans” variety. While I can appreciate that this makes the story feel heartwarming, I think that language has a side effect of shaming those with bad outcomes.\n\nIf a patient overcomes 5% odds and thrives, what about those who had 95% odds but had a bad outcome? I think that when we overstate the role that a person’s love for their family plays in a critical injury, it creates a darker side. Truthfully, bad things can happen no matter your plans, drive, or passions.\n\nPhysicians need to be careful with their language and there are times everyday when I think about how I could have explained something better for a family. The push within medicine for better communication with patients and families is very real, yet I feel like the myth of being told “0% chance” is just as common. \n\nNote: I’m writing after a long overnight shift and it may be more wordy and intense than it would be otherwise. \n\nFor real, though, being given a 5% chance of living a normal life again is exactly that. Twenty people with severe head trauma come in, one walks out. All were given the same odds at the door, nobody was told “no chance,” and almost all of them had passions and caring families.",

"My grandmother is 89 years old and this past year in June she was hospitalized with pneumonia. The doctors said it was a death sentence and sent her home with hospice. I traveled back to spend the weekend visiting her and my cousins came in as well. My whole family basically spent the weekend with her.\n\nShe kicked the pneumonia and health wise is fine. Mentally? Well, she's been on a huge decline for years.",
"As someone who deals with these cases on the regular, your grandmother was very lucky. And it really sucks to see gloating like this, bc for every 100 that roll in like this, 90 don't make it and 9 are drooling wheel chair bound the rest of their short lives. The doc and the nurses give our best.\n\nBut giving someone false hope is literally the worst thing we can do. Likely they will have a prolonged hospitalization, die miserably among machines and strangers, wearing a gown and laying in their own waste. Tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of dollars later, the outcome is the same.\n\nYou got an honest assessment & estimate from people trying to help you choose what's best. ",
" Thank you for sharing the reality. ",
"Exactly, nobody is walking around the hospital thinking \"hope she dies I'd hate to be proven wrong\".",
" It helps to ask the right questions, even though all the medical babble gets ridiculous. One of the best things you can do is ask when the doctor rounds, be there, and ask them plainly what the plan of care is. From there you can ask what they think the outlook is based on the data they have. Do that regularly, and you'll get a much better picture. Sincere best of luck! ",
" Pretty sure it was a chick considering the majority of ICU nurses are female. ",
"It really is lol. \"I'm thinking... Wow... She... She doesnt look good.\"\n\nGlad to see her looking so well in that second picture though, it's a bit of a relief.",
"I have a elderly neighbor who lives by herself. One day she was standing on a stool, fell off, and broke her ankle. Completely unable to move. She laid there for roughly 3 hours like that. Luckily we have another neighbor that checks on her regularly. Gut sank when I heard the news. Felt awful as I live next door and work from home. I could have done something :(",
"One tough lady. May we all be able to find 1/10th of the strength to fight as she did.",
"Yeah I always aim to manage expectations. I'm frank about what I think will happen but I would never rule out a better outcome (nor freak tragedy). I always move to make patients understand that I'm on their side, that if there wasn't a chance we wouldn't be discussing this but also that there are always risks.\n\nLife threatening injury or illness, and the death that invariably comes with it are sensitive topics and the reality is people handle it differently but not equally.

They are not technically brain dead, but I can definitively say enough of their brain is dead that recovery is impossible in any meaningful capacity. It’s hard to be honest, but in my subspecialty outcomes are sometimes gaurnteed... dead midbrain and dead cortex confirmed with MRI and on Exam is definitive. \n\nI know my field is very niche, and doesn’t apply to virtually any other field, but to insinuate to the families of my herniated, stroked, 95% brain dead patients according to dwi on mri and exam that there is anything more than a 0% chance of survival and recovery is encouraging them to prolong the dying process of their loved one to their own financial detriment. It’s dishonest. Micracles do not happen to a patient with a predominately dead brainstem with global cerebral strokes. I may not be able to help that patient, but I can certainly hurt the family by giving impossible hope and expectations. \n\nI instead transition the goals from saving their life to providing them expert and compassionate care in this final part of their life. We never stop treating them as best we can, but we focus our treatment on comfort and compassion. I always ensure that families know that their ability to provide and agree to comfort directed care is a profound act of love and grace in such sad circumstances, and that there is no greater a way of showing their loyalty,selflessness and dedication than by focusing on what the family member would want at that time and not what they wish for personally.

That’s the niche part that I am regarding. I’ve been doing this for long enough to know that nearly every specialty has the “goals of care” discussion, some with the same frequency as my own but none under the same circumstances and with the same frequency in my experience (trying to convince grieving family members who are unable to comprehend neurologically devestating and unrecoverable damage while the patient still has a heart beat and is over breathing the ventilator is a uniquely challenging position to be in.) Neurology for example could host those conversations in many circumstances in which neurosurgical intervention is clearly futile but I will still predictably be called to personally tell the family there is nothing but disfigurement that I can offer (not in those words obviously) and then I will personally deliver “the talk.” \n\n",

"As someone who works in a Trauma/Neuro ICU as a nurse I'm glad your grandmother made it but this post is in really bad taste.\n\nMaybe you thought the doctor was saying no chance but likely they did not. Once more your grandma being 95 and falling down stairs is usually the end of the line for a lot of elderly people unfortunately. The doctors try to be realistic and, believe it or not, are probably advocating for the best interest of the patient rather then the family.\n\nFamily in a sudden traumatic event don't always make decisions in the patients best interest. 95 year old falling down the stairs with a head bleed can require brain surgery, have extended recoveries that include an extremely uncomfortable breathing tube, at risk for numerous complications with their comorbidities, and often don't make it out of the hospital. \n\nI compare it to a certain level of torture in their last moments on earth. Poking and prodding someone with needles of all sizes, tubes taking care of every bodily function that can be extremely uncomfortable, they poop and pee themselves cause they cant move, often restrained to a bed, and then family members come in and take pictures of them like this one. Then in the end their body just gives out and we've stripped away all their dignity. Doctors and nurses want people to get better but also want patients to have dignity if the odds are pretty low. And believe it or not that's with the patients best interest in mind instead of the families.\n\nImagine if the brain bleed was bad enough that your grandma could no longer move a side of her body, or get out of bed, or eat food, or protect her airway? Not being able to do any of the things she likes to do in life. And the next couple of years of her life are spent with a feeding tube, or possibly a tracheostomy, and being stuck in bed not being able to take care of herself? To many that would be actual hell on earth. When families move forward with aggressive care in situations like this it ins't just black and white. Its not just they will make a full recovery or they die. There is an in between that, in my opinion, can be worse than death. \n\nAgain your grandma is extremely lucky but I dont think you should be squandering that with this post while simultaneously insulting the entire team that continued to take care of your grandma in the hospital. \n\nPSA: What people value in life is different which is why a advanced healthcare directive that allows you to express what you enjoy about life and what makes life worth living for you is so important. Everyone over 18 should have one.\n\nIf you ever find yourself in a traumatic situation like this consider what the person would want if they were standing right next to you and hearing the same information. DONT do what YOU believe is right or important but what YOUR LOVED one would have thought or believed. Too often families make decisions based on what they want or believe because they are in denial or shock and dont want to let go. Too often I've watched denial take physical manifestation in the form of a loved one, trapped in their body from a broken brain and resigned to a life of total care from others. Never being able to do the things they love again and not allowing the persons loved one to move on because they are gone in every way but physically. \n\nThese are all my opinions and take on these things from my experience or beliefs so they do not reflect my profession as a whole or other professions for that matter.",

"I'm an emergency physician and I daily see providers poorly manage these types of conversations. I've never witnessed anyone tell a family member that there is no chance to live, however I often see providers fail at guiding families realistically through these situations. \n\nHere is the fact - EVERYONE DIES. No one has a chance to live forever. I think it's hard to fully accept our own mortality but once we do we need to start asking ourselves: \"How do I want to live?\" and \"How do I want to die?\". \n\nIt's important to not only think about the chances that a certain condition will ultimately kill someone, but what happens if they live? I think often the media showcases and inflates the likelihood those who come back to a normal life. When people here a small chance (1%) of survival, I feel like they often assume that the options are death or back or a normal life. If I have a 1% chance at survival but then I get to go back to a totally normal life then of course I want everything to be done. But what if that 1% chance of survival had a 90% chance of living a miserable life for another few years ultimately to die from pneumonia or a bed sore?\n\nThe health care system has progressed much faster at preventing and treating things that kill us quickly (and arguable mercifully). Sudden cardiac arrest is typically sudden and does not seem very painful. Pneumonia looks like an awful way to die. \n\nProviders often ask family members something along the lines of \"What do you want us to do if so and so loses his/her heart beat? Do you want us to do things like chest compressions and put him/her on a ventilator?\" I think it gives families the impression that one option is _trying our best_ when the other is _giving up_. Who wouldn't want their loved one's medical team to try their best? \n\nI could talk for days about this so I'll leave with this. Just remember that everyone dies. Personally my goal is to grow old and healthy and then die suddenly in a painless dignified way. There aren't a whole lot of ways to die suddenly. If you get saved from your fatal arrhythmia or massive blood clot then you're likely to die of something worse like pneumonia, hip fracture, sepsis etc... ",

Certainly do-not-resuscitate/do-not-intubate patients, but also patients who have asked for less-aggressive care (no surgery, blood transfusions, and/or vasopressors). This would certainly include hospice patients.\n\nIt’s a frequent conversation as well regarding patients in cardiac arrest in whom we’re unable to restart their heartbeat. It’s a dark topic, but for those interested there has been a lot of research on [having families in the room](http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1203366) during a cardiac arrest. My experience has been that families who see chest compressions in progress are more likely to feel comfortable saying goodbye or feeling as though “everything was done.”\n\nMy comment above was referring to cases where a critically injured patient has been stabilized and the terrible period of waiting has begun. \n\nSo often, I think these are the instances that give birth to “doctors said never” moments—it’s the car crash of relief that they’re more stable and the horror of the situation sinking its claws in.\n\nGiven my comment history, I’d prefer not to say how long I’ve been practicing to avoid doxxing myself!

"I get your frustration dude. I had a patient once who was completely brain-dead, and their family wanted a full code and had to be forcibly removed from the room for becoming combative when we told them the patient was gone. I posted the story before so I'll just paste it below:\n\n>I'll give you an example that is rather severe, but illustrates my point. This was when I was an intern at Groote Schuur, the largest hospital in Cape Town. Patient presents with single gunshot wound to the head. GCS 3, pupils are fixed, no corneal reflex, etc. Classic brain death. When the respirator was withdrawn to check for breathing the patient exhibited positive Lazarus sign. The relatives of the patient flipped out and thought he was coming back from it despite the fact that basically most of his brain had been destroyed by a tumbling bullet. They would not accept that in fact the Lazarus sign was an indication that they were gone for good. Asystole followed shortly. They had to be removed forcefully when we called it. Patient was unsuitable for organ donation due to being HIV+.\n\n>Translation for those uninitiated: A guy was brought in after being shot in the head. His Glasgow Coma Scale score was as low as it goes, indicating that he's in a deep coma or dead. It means he doesn't respond to pain, his eyes don't open, he doesn't move, and he doesn't talk. His pupils don't react to light, he doesn't blink when you touch his eyes, every test we do to check if a person is brain dead shows he is indeed brain dead. When we take him off the ventilator to see if he breathes on his own he exhibited a reflex where the arms lift up and pull towards the chest to end up looking like how a person is laid to rest in a coffin, with the hands crossed on the chest. This is a sign that the persons brain is dead, the cause is too complicated to explain here but when that happens it's a sign the guy isn't coming back. His relatives thought it meant he was waking up and wouldn't accept otherwise. His heart stopped soon after and he was declared dead. His family had to be removed by security cause they were going to attack someone. ",
"Thank you for this. I do anesthesia, often on critically ill people. I take the time and sit with the patient and the families and make myself very clear prior to surgery (assuming it isn't emergent).\n\nI tend to be very realistic and be clear that I will absolutely devote all my efforts to saving their lives, but I've certainly never said \"no chance\" or anything similar.\n\nI often say something like, \"there is a very real possibility of an bad outcome related to anesthesia due to the following factors...I estimate a 5 percent risk of heart damage, stroke or even death during surgery. I will absolutely do everything within my ability to do this safely, but I cannot guarantee the outcome. If you understand this and accept the risks, we can proceed.\"",

"Not really. You might be thinking of chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is related to repeated concussions (although can happen even with repeated low grade trauma where concussions are not noted).\n\nTraumatic brain injury is fairly self explanatory but in this case almost certainly resulted in a subdural or maybe intracranial haemorrhage, which don't occur in a normal concussion.

"This is because as you will learn, too much of medical practice (at least in the US) is predicated on fear. Fear of lawsuits. Fear of being accused of not doing \"everything.\" Medical expertise continues to move in the direction of more specialized and segmented care. Often each provider doesn't consider the whole picture for the patient. The cardiologist has to make sure the patient doesn't die from a heart condition. The neurologist focuses on preventing stroke. The gastroenterologist can't let the patient die from a GI bleed. Death by gastrointestinal bleed actually doesn't seem that bad. The vast majority cause no pain and little suffering. Most patient's ultimately get very tired and then lose consciousness. Now that being said, I don't think it's reasonable to die from a GI bleed at the age of 30, if treatment can give another healthy 60 years of life. It then becomes very difficult to \"draw the line\" and benefit is very individualized. I don't at all propose that health care providers should make these decision for patients. I think everyone has the right to make the decision themselves. It's our job to ultimately counsel them on what is likely to happen with each intervention attempted. A cancer patient who is in pain everyday may choose to die from a GI bleed today rather than suffer another week or two of pain ultimately to die from pneumonia. Another patient may have very different values and may choose to endure a little bit longer to see his/her child get married, graduate, or even if it's just because he/she is afraid to die. In the medical profession we are so overwhelmed by patient load and demand, there is a total lack of incentive to have these conversations. ",

And I was only 5 but I heard the story from my parents and grandparents when my mom gave birth to my sister prematurely. She weighed one pound 11 ounces and was over 3 months early. The doctor said she wasn't viable and threw her in a bed pan. And walked away. HE WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM AFTER STATING MY SISTER WASN'T VIABLE AFTER TOSSING HER IN A BEDPAN. An intern heard her gurgle and saved her. She was indeed still alive and is very much alive to this day 43 years later. Never say never. They do infact say things like this. You might not because you have a heart and actually care. But not everyone is the same. ",

"> Based on wind resistance, for example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a belly-to-earth (i.e., face down) free-fall position is about 195 km/h (122 mph or 54 m/s).[2] This velocity is the asymptotic limiting value of the velocity, and the forces acting on the body balance each other more and more closely as the terminal velocity is approached. In this example, a speed of 50% of terminal velocity is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90%, 15 seconds to reach 99% and so on.\n\n> Higher speeds can be attained if the skydiver pulls in his or her limbs (see also freeflying). In this case, the terminal velocity increases to about 320 km/h (200 mph or 90 m/s),[2] which is almost the terminal velocity of the peregrine falcon diving down on its prey.[3] The same terminal velocity is reached for a typical .30-06 bullet dropping downwards—when it is returning to the ground having been fired upwards, or dropped from a tower—according to a 1920 U.S. Army Ordnance study.[4]\n\n> Competition speed skydivers fly in a head-down position and can reach speeds of 530 km/h (330 mph); the current record is held by Felix Baumgartner who jumped from a height of 128,100 feet (39,000 m) and reached 1,342 km/h (834 mph), though he achieved this velocity at high altitude, where extremely thin air presents less drag force.\n\n> The biologist J. B. S. Haldane wrote,\n\n> > To the mouse and any smaller animal [gravity] presents practically no dangers. You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes. For the resistance presented to movement by the air is proportional to the surface of the moving object.[5]\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity\n\n",

For probably 15 minutes the hawk was plucking the pigeons feathers bit by bit while the pigeon struggled. The hawk would look up periodically to maybe see if there was going to be any other predators try and snatch its prey. Feathers were completely surrounding the hawk and blowing in the wind. I don't know if the hawk killed it or it gave up but by the time it was plucked enough the hawk was tearing into the pigeon eating piece by piece, blood all over its beak. It was amazing.",

Either didn't realize it was feeding time or didn't care, because the students got a whopping view of some poor bunny being obliterated by this falcon. I'm sure the bunny was already dead but it was a mess on the CTV. \n\nAnd that's when I realize no matter what size bird, falcons in all shapes and forms are beasts. ",

"I hate to disagree with Sir Attenborough, but there is debate within the falconry community (amongst those that fly longwings anyways) that the Prairie falcon may actually be almost as fast as the peregrine. Some even believe a prairie could be able to take the record, but their hunting style isn't exactly the same and they don't often fly as high. Prairies and Peregrines are about the same size with peregrines being slightly larger. But like the peregrine, the Prairie is made for stooping and can get that tear drop shape and hit high speeds. But it hunts from a lower altitude and then levels off closer to the ground. I think if one was trained (or dropped from a helicopter like the peregrine) to take a higher altitude and stoop down it'd be pretty damn close to peregrine speed and should certainly be able to beat a GE. \n\nThat's just my opinion as a falconer talking with other falconers who have flown prairies and peregrines and have first hand experience. Prairies aren't nearly as popular though as peregrines so I don't expect to see anybody trying to break speed records with one.\nThey're not as popular mainly because of their hunting style doesn't take them as high as peregrines and that is sort of the point with falcons. They also have a reputation for being more difficult and also enjoy hunting ground quarry so a lot of falconers don't bother with them. :-\\",

"My late grandpa and his research partner led the effort to reintroduce peregrine falcons to the midwest in the 1980's after use of pesticides containing DDT wiped out nearly all of the population in North America. Originally, they introduced captivity-bred nesting pairs to their native cliffside perches above the river, but the great horned owls residing there would kill the happy couples before too long. Eventually, they decided to release them in nesting boxes atop skyscrapers in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and later throughout the midwest, where they wouldn't be exposed to aggressive predators and have an abundance of food in the form of pigeons. \n\nHappy to report that the Midwest peregrine populations now exceed their pre-DDT levels! There were 40 pairs prior to being wiped out by DDT, now there are 300 pairs as of 2011, and likely more today. They were removed from the endangered species list in 1999. ",

"Falconry is a sport/hobby that has possibly been around for 5,000 years. Recently it has been listed as a living human cultural heritage by UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)\n\nSo that is the \"why do we do it\", it's a sport/hobby. \n\nNow the justification. Many species of raptors have a mortality rate of up to 70% (+/-) in their first year. The red-tail for example is about 70%. That means, out of 100 red tail hawks that were born in 2017, 70 of them will be dead before they reach their first year of life. Causes are collisions, freezing, starvation, Perhaps they couldn't find food or were too inexperienced or just had bad luck, electrocution, predation, disease etc etc.\n\nSo in falconry, we can only take these young birds less than a year (with the exception of the Kestrel) and only allowed to take up to two a year and possess a very limited amount at a time. Statistically we are taking from the stock that will die.\nFalconers trap these birds, man them, train them and then hunt with them. After hunting season is over, or maybe the following season, falconers usually release these birds back to the wild.\n\nThis means that we take a bird that likely would have died and give it extra time learning how to hunt and getting more experience. Then, when it's in it's peak physical fitness from a season of hunting, we give it a full crop of food and release it, often around March when it's warming up and the food supply is going up. \n\nAs I said, the raptor quickly learns that when hunting with us, it gets to eat every day, even if it doesn't make a kill. This is why, when we release the bird it doesn't just say \"screw you\" and fly off into the sunset, it knows that if it follows us, we will flush game for it to chase, and then it gets to go home to a safe environment where it doesn't have to worry about other predators taking it's food. The bird always has the option to leave us every time we release it to hunt.",

While there are very large numbers of women in professional orchestras around the world, there is still an air of sexism around. One of my peers (well sorta, she was like 6-7 years older than me) became the first principal violist of the Berlin Philharmonic and had a very short tenure because she was treated like shit by a number of the men in her own section.

"So...the title is incorrect? Has she conducted as a guest in the last 10 years?",
"I think this woman is Iran's first native woman conductor. Nazanin Aghakhani conducted the Tehran Symphony close to ten years ago, but while she is of Iranian descent, she was born and trained in Europe and just guest conducted the orchestra. I doubt that religion, as some people are suggesting, is keeping women from the podium in Iran. Conducting IS a career where women have had a hard time breaking in. Speaking as a professional female brass player, there are TONS of professional women musicians in every section of the orchestra. While sexism has arisen in other aspects of my job, my musicianship has NEVER been questioned because of my gender. I know that it was not like this even ten or fifteen years ago, and I'm certain it's not like this in other organizations (u/kakihara0513 is right- Berlin was notorious for its sexism). With conducting though...it's different. There are WAY more female conductors than there were in previous generations, but most of them are in small-time spots or educational institutions, not the Philadelphia Orchestra or NY Phil. People say lots of things, that women are too small, too quiet to communicate large musical gestures across a group, blah blah blah. There's an article that talks about it [here](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/feb/06/this-is-not-a-womans-issue-tackling-conductings-gender-problem). You'd think we'd be beyond this sort of thing, but we're not, not yet. Kudos to this woman for breaking the stereotype!",
"What, that glass of water on a napkin on a plate? Yeah, looks pretty bland. ",
">les choices that in the US\n\nNot sure what this has to do with the claim that this woman was a conductor because she has \"influential friends\" but in any case . . . \n\nLOL -- I love how Americans naturally assume that their system is the idea to which others compare themselves to. Sweetie, Ecuador has more female members of their Congress than the US, most of Europe takes better care of women, and Iranian mothers get better medical care for themselves and their kids that the US. https://www.aarp.org/health/doctors-hospitals/info-06-2010/iranian_cure_for_thedeltas_blues.html So nowhere is *perfect* is it?\n\nBut aside from that, the fact is that the literacy rates for Iranian women prior to the Islamic Revolution was less than 50% and they had 7 kids of which 4 survived infancy, and they lives 22 years shorter lives. Living standards for women as well as Iranians as a whole MASSIVELY improved AFTER the Islamic Revolution\n\nhttp://iranprimer.usip.org/blog/2013/apr/01/un-stats-life-longer-and-healthier-iran\n\nAnd now that they're highly educated and living longer and not literally barefoot and pregnant, they live independent lives, aren't getting married until much later, have less than 2 kids per couple, and don't really need you to feel sorry for them. http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-iran-unmarried-snap-story.html\n\n",
"It even says Farsi in the link man. Come on",
"What religion is she?",
"That's probably because Iranian families tend to send boys aboard and girls go to local university/college. I bet not much women end up working as a doctor or scientist even if they do get their degree. ",
"You're an idiot.\n\nThe big difference is that in America, you can become a millionaire even if you are a moron. There are lots of them.\n\nThis is just a single example of the many ways Americans become millionaires with little to no effort. \n\nThe only other country to compare it to is China in the creation of wealth. \n\n",
">t in America, you can become a millionaire even if you are a moron\n\nI/m not sure if youre being funny or serious\n\n1- plenty of Iranians became millionaires are morons\n2- Not sure what's good about that.",
"It's not a matter of what religion she is.\nIt is the fact that the Iranian government is heavily influenced by Islam and Iranian society severely oppresses women because of Islam.\nMost likely she is a Muslim but it doesn't matter as the society around her would be oppressive if were a Christian or and atheist as well.

"[For those wanting context.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Japanese_Embassy_to_Europe_(1863\\))\n\n\n>The Second Japanese Embassy to Europe (Japanese: 第２回遣欧使節, also 横浜鎖港談判使節団), also called the Ikeda Mission, was sent on December 29, 1863 by the Tokugawa shogunate. The head of the mission was Ikeda Nagaoki, governor of small villages of Ibara, Bitchū Province (Okayama Prefecture). The assistant head of the mission was Kawazu Sukekuni.\n\n>The objective of the mission was to obtain French agreement to the closure of the harbour of Yokohama to foreign trade. The mission was sent following the 1863 \"Order to expel barbarians\" (攘夷実行の勅命) enacted by Emperor Kōmei, and the Bombardment of Shimonoseki incidents, in a wish to close again the country to Western influence, and return to sakoku status. The task proved impossible, as Yokohama was the center of foreign presence in Japan since the opening of the country by Commodore Perry in 1854.\n\n\n>On the way to France, the mission visited Egypt, where the members of the mission were photographed posing before the Sphinx by Antonio Beato, brother of the famous photographer Felice Beato. The members of the mission were abundantly photographed in Paris by Nadar.\n\n>The mission returned to Japan in failure, on July 22, 1864.\n\n\nThey even made [a movie about it.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_Road_of_the_Samurai)",

Albumen print.\n\nAccording to [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikeda_Nagaoki)\n\n> At 27 Ikeda Nagaoki was the head of the Second Japanese Embassy to Europe, also called the Ikeda Mission, sent in 1863-1864 by the Tokugawa shogunate to negotiate the cancellation of the open-port status of Yokohama. The mission was sent following the 1863 \"Order to expel barbarians\" issued by Emperor Kōmei, and the Bombardment of Shimonoseki incidents, in a wish to close again the country to Western influence, and return to sakoku status.\n\n> Nagaoki left with a mission of 36 men on a French warship, stopped in Shanghai, India and Cairo through the Suez canal. His mission visited the pyramids, a feat which Antonio Beato photographed at the time. He finally arrived in Marseille and then Paris, where he met with Napoleon III and with Philipp Franz von Siebold. He stayed at the Grand Hotel in Paris.",

They are not tombs. Its all guesswork at best. The great pyramids of giza and the sphinx was already there when ancient Egyptians as we know them came around. But mainstream Egyptology wont let the truth get in the way of a good story. And the truth is that a comet hit the Earth 12,000 years ago, wiped out mammoths, sabertooth tigers, and other animals part of the big mammal fauna , 120+ species. The entire northern american continent was covered in a mile thick sheet of ICE. And that came loose, created a global flood, as the average sealevels rose with 400 FEET. Think of all the coastal cities humanity was living at back then. They were all wiped out. But some things were left behind from that Golden Age of human civilization. The Great Pyramids of Giza was among these things. Hell, we dont even know today how they built them. Let alone how the CUT upto 100 ton rose granite blocks...",

Stupid.\n\nHere is a much better source, including a healthy sceptic.

"I absolutely love this. \n\nWhen I first looked at it I immediately thought, \"Beautiful one-point perspective!\" and my eye was immediately drawn to the vanishing point. Next, I saw the guy walking towards me with his hands in his pocket. Finally, I saw the red on the right. And what's really brilliant about that red is how cold it is. When I took color theory that was something I struggled with: How do I make a warm color cool? \n\nYour composition is balanced with beautiful positive and negative spaces in contrast by the use of the yellow. \n\nGoddamn.

"I see a man walking alone against the flow of people walking the other way on the sidewalk. The building to his left, our right, reflects the traffic on the road and what is possibly windows with lights or store fronts. Those vehicles are also travelling the other direction as the man; the shadow wheels and pairs of lights give an ethereal look to the vehicles lending movement to their vague shapes. Meanwhile the man himself is bent under the apparently heavy burden of the pack held in place by the right hand, the other in their pocket to shield it from the cold. They walk away from the light into the dark from which all else tries to flee. Wow, I turned into an art teacher just trying to describe this painting.",

Thank you! you know, I initially had just the warms.. like i usually do. I introduced some new colors to my palettte- radiant blue, radiant magenta, and used very thin layers added with linseed oil to layer over the underlying colors. That's why most of the colors semm unified and balanced.... initially I would lay down the paint and it would be very opaque but I'd take the knife and a ton of oil to spread out the pigment and create that unification. Composition wise, I'm always dealing with mostly 3 values and squinting frequently to see what's impacting the overall composition and movement. Edges are HUGE for me.. you can see soft after image-like edges... vs the stable edges of the man walking towards us. ",

In order to start the fire, I lit some dryer lint, which generally worked alright. Alas, the yard waste burned up before the tree branches (they were still wet, and recently were trimmed from our pine trees) could properly catch fire. Being an idiot 13 year old, I went into the garage and found an old soup can, dumped out it's assorted nails and grabbed a can of gasoline. I filled the can 3 quarters of the way full and ran to the dwindling fire and slowly poured the can over the fire.\n \nThe fire then followed the stream of gasoline up to the can and in a fiery floomph, spurt out the rest of the contents, maybe half an ounce, over the pile. The fire didn't stop there. It flew higher and up into my face where it promptly singed off what remained of my left eye brow.\nI was truly lucky to have not been injured by it. It does not take a lot of gasoline to cause a lot of damage. \n \nSince then I have always had a great distrust for gasoline as an accelerant. Since diesel engines use compression, the speed at which it burns is similar to that of lighter fluid. That being said, it still has it's risks. ",

He is named in hundreds of lawsuits filed by athletes who allege that Nassar sexually abused them under the pretense of giving them medical treatment. Since the first public allegations were made in September 2016, over 140 women, including former USA Gymnastics national team members Jamie Dantzscher, Jeanette Antolin, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Maggie Nichols and Simone Biles, have accused Nassar of sexually abusing them. Nassar pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges and was sentenced to 60 years in prison on December 7, 2017. On November 22, 2017, he pleaded guilty to seven charges of first-degree sexual assault and entered another guilty plea on November 29, 2017 to three additional charges of sexual assault..\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_Gymnastics_sex_abuse_scandal",

While the investigation does not specify the political affiliations of the groups, names that were flagged included the words “Progressive,” “Occupy,” “Green Energy,” and Acorn — the acronym for the now defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.**\n\n**\"Not supporting allies\"** - Not sure what this is, but see Trump's feelings about NATO.\n\n**\"Letting Russia run amok in Georgia and Ukraine\"** - Did you want military action?

"That's basically it. If you spend time with most Trump supporters that's an almost literal recreation of their opinion and thought stream.\n\nThere is a certain logic to it thats taking a kernel of truth and blowing it up: when Trump tweets something, we know basically that he thought it, he wrote it, he hit publish. When Pres. Obama tweeted something, we think we know that he read it, after someone wrote it, after someone typed it, etc. He was accountable for what was tweeted under his name, and he approved of it, generally, but we don't know that he originated the idea.\n\nIt's sort of a weird exercise. The decision and policy making calculus in past White Houses was generally: President sets priorities, delegates tasks, the Chief of Staff organizes the White House staff to those priorities, and reports back to the President. When a decision or policy needs to be made, the staff assembles multiple viewpoints, and more deeply researches the consensus options they think the President might select. A presentation is made by senior staffers to the President, who may make suggestions, reject options, ask for more details, or go in a totally different direction. Staffers advocate for their favored choices in good faith and a somewhat adversarial posture, and the best, most supportable, most cogent or whatever criteria the President deems to be the right direction is, is adopted. The other staff who had losing arguments may lick their wounds a bit, but it's not typically taken personally.\n\nWhat we see with this White House is a total implosion of this process. The President makes policy or sets priorities at a whim, without the prompting of staff, without staff having done any vetting at all. After the decision has been made, staff go to great lengths to retroactively create a positive case for the policy. If staff so feels inclined, they work to undermine the decision because they don't believe in it, and the engage in back biting, sabotage, and leaking to discredit and influence policies they disagree with.\n\nThe real scary part here is that if Trump was just a little bit more disciplined, and a little bit more trustworthy, he would be 10x more dangerous. A person of Trump's caliber - that is low - with his mendacious attitude and the ability to inspire loyalty in people would be like an American terror like we've never seen before. The direct damage that Trump does to America can probably be fixed shortly after he is out of power, but the long-term damage that he does to America is possibly in laying down the template for how a crypto-tryant ala-Erodgan could subvert the US government to his fascist and dictatorial ends. Someone combining the ideological and moral flexibility of the Trump administration with the cool, detached, almost pathological media and policy operation of the Obama administration could be the death blow to American democracy.

He lifted a few paragraphs of speeches from a lesser known British politician, and most likely plagiarized pieces of a law review article from his first year of college. He was forced to call a national press conference and attempted to stay in the race. However, after the incident, his support collapsed and he ended up withdrawing from the primary.\n\nEdmond Muskie was essentially forced from his winning position in the primaries because some reporters thought he may have cried during a speech, after the Nixon campaign sent in a fake letter to the editor which made him angry.\n\nThe bar is so differently set now. It's just an amazing transformation in standards.\n\n",

With the Republicans of the recent administrations - going back to President Reagan, then President GW Bush, and now President Trump, they all skipped the seriousness test because they already had what the media was offering - name recognition. Then canddiate Mr. Trump skipped over the media primary that candidates like Sen. Rubio and Sen. Paul and many others were waging because he was already a top-tier candidate because of name recognition. \n\nAt that point, once you don't need anything from the media, Mr. Trump was free to bash the media day in and day out, to the great aplomb and approval of his eventual voters.
