Instantly Avoid More Toxic Load To Your Body?
By Farrell Seah
A growing mountain of evidence from clinical trials and scientific studies continually reaffirms the benefits of colostrum supplementation in treating gastrointestinal disorders and improving the function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
From this research, we have learned that the perhaps the greatest benefit of colostrum supplementation lies in its ability to enhance the overall health and efficiency of the gut, and that enhanced gut efficiency can effectively control or resolve many gastrointestinal disorders. This is because a healthy gut can more efficiently transport nutrients throughout the body, and more effectively destroy harmful bacteria and other pathogens at their point of their entry, before they can proliferate or spread throughout the body.
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Colostrum is very effective at repairing damaged tissues in the intestines, directly impacting a particularly common gastrointestinal disorder called leaky gut syndrome. Caused by the chronic irritation and inflammation of the bowel lining, leaky gut syndrome is characterized by an increased permeability of the intestinal walls to large food molecules, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and toxins entering the gastrointestinal tract.
Leaky gut syndrome lies at the root of a long list of gastrointestinal disorders, immune disorders, and other illnesses—including mineral deficiencies, food allergies, autoimmune diseases, and weakened immunity. Colostrum supplementation can heal the intestinal lining and restore the immune system’s ability to fight pathogens in the gut, directly at their point of entrance into the body.
By bringing resolution to leaky gut syndrome in this way, the toxic load on the body and liver is reduced, nutritional uptake is enhanced, and immune responses associated with food allergies are minimized and often disappear entirely. These positive changes help to bring resolution to many other conditions
The precedence of the factorial operator
Back when I added a factorial operator to my assembler,
the code only applied it to numeric literals because the code that implemented it appeared in the same function as parsing a numeric literal.
I only found the bug when I tried to apply a factorial to a subexpression in parenthesis,
for example,
-(2+1)!.
The fix was easy,
just move the code out of the numberic literal parsing routine rvalue() to rfactor() where the unary + and - occur,
as well as handing subexpressions.
But the fix lead to another issue?how to handle a sequence like -3!.
Should it error out since negative values aren't defined for factorial?
Or should it apply the factorial to ?3? and then the unary minus sign?
I asked the question over on Lobters and a very loose consensus seemed to be that factorial has a higher precedence than unary minus.
I also threw -3! at Wolfram Alpha
(that I forgot existed until I started doing some web searches on the question)
and it also handled factorial before unary minus.
So that's what I went with.
From what little I found on this topic,
it seems that -3! should indeed return -6 as an answer.
It also seems to be the mathematical convention that -32 should return -9 and not 9
(which is that my assembler returns,
as well as Microsoft Excel).
Fixing that issue would require a rewrite of the expression parser.
The Shunting Yard algorithm I use to handle precedence doesn't handle unary operators all that well.
Sigh.

?I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.?
I know it was probaby inevitable,
but I still found it surprising and rather upsetting to see that our television updated itself and that we had to accept the new terms of service.
I'm not sure what would have happened had we refused.
Would it have bricked itself?
And what ?service? has changed that required new terms?
Sending back our watching habits to the mother ship?
Watching one more ad ad we turn it off?
Sigh.

A week of appointments
You would think that now that Bunny was home now that we could relax for a bit.
But nooooooooo!
We had to call today to schedule a follow-up visit at the house.
This follow-up visit is for tomorrow,
then a scheduled visit to Bunny's general doctor on Thursday,
and a follow-up visit to the orthopedist on Friday.
I don't think she's ever had this many scheduled medical visits before.
Nor so quickly.
Geeze.

A sprung Bunny
After nearly two months from breaking her shoulders,
Bunny is finally released from the rehabilitation center.
Her arms still hurt and she still has some range issues with her arms,
but nothing that requires her to remain in the center.
After signing a bunch of forms,
we were able to walk out,
and with no help,
she was able to get into the car.
We're home now.
I still have a few observations about the habilitation center.
- Everyday I was there
(and I was there every day)
in the main hall I would see a gentleman in a wheel chair.
He was always wearing a straw hat so he was recognizable,
and every time he saw me,
he would salute me and thank me for visiting.
I would always wave back and say, "you're welcome!"
I never noticed anyone seemingly visiting him though.
- Another gentleman I would see from time to time was a double amputee
(legs, just above the knees).
One day as I was aproaching the vending machines in the main hall,
he wheeled over to me and handed me $5 to get him a drink.
He had a very thick accent,
and it was hard to see where he was pointing to,
and yet,
I still managed to not give him what he wanted.
Twice.
I still feel very bad about that over two weeks later.
- Bunny's roommate was a frail old lady in her 90s, maybe
weighing 90 pounds (40kg) soaking wet.
She had incredible lungs though?every time she had her blood pressure taken,
it sounded like she was being murdered,
and it was loud enough that I'm sure everyone in the facility could hear her,
even on the second floor.
It was both literally and figuratively painful to hear.
- The kitchen staff would gladly give out a second helping if you asked.
Did I mention the food was quite good?
- Technically,
to exit the building,
you have to ask a staff member to open the front door.
I was there often enough to see how they would open the front door,
so I didn't need to find someone to leave the building if the receptionist was not at the front desk.
That did not help me if I was outside wanting to get in and the receptionist was not there.
- In the parking lots of the rehabilitation center,
none of the parking stops lined up with the parking spaces,
making for a rather confusing jumble of parking spaces.
While there might have been enough spots for two or three more cars,
because of the mismatching lines and parking stops,
cars would be parked haphazardly in the lots,
wasting space.

The sounds of silence
I'm at the rehabilitation center where Bunny is rehabilitating her broken shoulders and all the TVs in the place shut down,
and it's suddenly quiet.
Maybe not as silent as Rachel, Nevada,
or maybe when a Las Vagas casino lost power
(talk about dead silence?it was weird!),
but still,
it's eerie.

Extreme abstract staircase, Boca Raton edition
While Bunny was otherwise occupied with a nurse I took the opportinity to look around outside.
While there,
I found this odd staircase off the side of a path:
I'm not sure what the purpose of such a structure could be,
perhaps a place to sit down?
But there were benches along the path.
Perhaps stairs to Narnia?
Perhaps?

It's no surprise that the LLMs confabulate what I've worked on
While I am known to some of the LLMs
(link via Flutterby),
my own score
(or ?strength? as the site calls it) is in the upper two digit range.
It picked up that I'm a blogger,
but it also confabulated that I worked on the Apache module mod_python.
Heh ? close,
but no cigar!

Extreme aviary, Boca Raton edition
Bunny is doing as well as can be expected,
given that she really can't use her arms to get out of bed or a chair.
But she does like looking at the finches they have in the main hall:

Extreme Kobolds, Boca Raton edition
As my tires were being addressed at a local tire shop,
I meandered across the street to have lunch and browse at some stores to kill some time.
At a gaming store,
I came across this little fellow defending this terroritory:
He seemed very keen on keeping this corner of the store to himself.
I let him be.

How many English words to you actually know?
From the video ?How Many Words Do You ACTUALLY Know?? comes this quiz
VocabOwl: The Scientific Word Count,
which claims to measure how large of a vocabulary you know.
I took the quiz,
which asks for the definitions of 100 words
(twenty each from a basic list, intermediate list, advanced, export and grandmaster)
and from that,
estimates how many you know.
I missed 6 out of the 100 words
(two from the advanced category, and four from the grandmaster) and so,
according to this quiz,
my vocabulary consists of some 76,000 English words,
for what it's worth.

Ulcers, Gastritis, and Gastric Cancer
Milk and other dairy products have for a long time been used to relieve the painful symptoms associated with ulcers and other advanced gastrointestinal disorders, but the reasons behind their effectiveness are only recently being revealed. We now know that stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection (specifically, the Helicobacter pylori bacterium), and that antibodies in colostrum and other dairy products may actively prevent Helicobacter pylori from adhering to the gut, inhibiting its colonization along the stomach wall.
In addition, other bactericidal agents may be present in dairy colostrum and milk preparations that directly impact H. pylori. During the last few years, several studies have been conducted using colostrum supplementation in the treatment of gastritis, a gastrointestinal disorder considered to be a precursor to the development of stomach ulcers. These studies identified a glycoprotein in colostrum that is also active in preventing Helicobacter pylori from attaching to the stomach wall.
The results of these studies are very promising, and current research continues to investigate colostrum’s possible future role in the treatment of ulcers, gastritis, and gastric cancer.
