      Case: F, 12Y0M, Ethnicity Unknown

      DiseaseAssertion: assumed VHL

      FamilyInfo: Family history revealed that her mother had had bilateral partial adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma during her youth; more recent follow-up investigations of the patient’s mother also revealed cerebral hemangioblastomas and a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreatic head with liver metastases. She also showed the same mutation upon further follow-up.

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0002666; HP:0030405 (pheochromocytoma; pancreatic endocrine tumour)

      CaseHPOFreeText: Patient was affected for 1 year prior diagnosis by intermittent epigastric pains and diarrhea (clinical workup revealed a pancreatic tumor). Patient also showed a bilateral adrenal enlargement (pheochromocytoma - (11 mm right and 17 mm left)). There was no evidence of infiltration of the vena mesenterica superior. The mesentericoportal venous trunk and the large arterial vessels of the epigastrium were dissected from the tumor and preserved.

    1. Case 2This 10 year old girl presented with intermittent fever for the past one month. Her birth history was unremarkable. She was the fourth child of nonconsanguineous parents. Her family history was not significant for tumor occurrence. Physical examination revealed a blood pressure level of 160/100 mmHg (95p: 120/79 mmHg) and a heart rate of 110 beats per minute. Laboratory tests showed an elevated 24 h urinary VMA level of 83 mg/day. Abdominal MRI revealed a 44x33 mm, well circumscribed mass with a necrotic core in the left adrenal gland. Subtotal adrenalectomy was performed and histologic examination showed that the tumor was PCC. During two years of follow-up, a 20x19x12 mm mass was detected in the right adrenal gland on abdominal MRI. PET-computed tomography (CT) with 68Ga-DOTA‐DPhe1, Tyr3‐octreotate (68Ga- DOTATATE) showed increased uptake in the right adrenal gland and a 11x10 mm nodular lesion in the corpus of the pancreas (Figure 2). The tumoral masses in the adrenal gland and pancreas were removed. Histologic investigation of adrenal and pancreas specimens confirmed the diagnosis of PCC and PNET (World Health Organisation grade 3) respectively. One year later, an 8x7 mm lesion in the pancreas, compatible with recurrence, was observed on abdominal MRI and confirmed with 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT. Splenectomy and subtotal pancreatectomy were performed for removal of the lesion. Histologic examination of the pancreatic lesion reported a neuroendocrine tumor. Bilateral PCC with PNET suggested the diagnosis of VHL disease. Molecular genetic analysis of the VHL gene revealed a heterozygous missense mutation c. 386 T>G (p.Leu129Pro) which has been previously described. No additional VHL tumor developed during three years follow up.

Subtotal adrenalectomy was performed and histologic examination showed that the tumor was PCC. During two years of follow-up, a 20x19x12 mm mass was detected in the right adrenal gland and a 11x10 mm nodular lesion in the corpus of the pancreas which was found to be a pancreatic endocrine tumour. One year later, the pancreatic endocrine tumour reoccured.

      Case: F, 16Y0M, Greek

      DiseaseAssertion: Assumed VHL

      FamilyInfo: The patient’s 50-year-old father has VHL consisting of retinal HBs diagnosed at the age of 20 years. He also has spinal cord HBs located in the neck. He was also found to carry the mutation NM_000551.3:c.433C>T that the patient carried. The patient’s 18-year-old brother and her 20-year-old sister are phenotypically healthy and repeated biochemical evaluation and imaging studies are negative. Her paternal uncle, aunt and cousins are also phenotypically healthy with no indications from either biochemical or imaging studies as they denied further evaluation. In addition, her paternal grandfather of unknown genotype died at the age of 85 years while her paternal grandmother is alive and has no problems, being 86 years old at time of writing.

      CaseHPOFreeText: The 16Y female patient first presented with back pain, headaches, numbness, dizziness, weakness and pain in the arms and the legs at 12Y. A hemangioblastoma in the thoracic spine and a hemangioblastoma in the neck were found. A year later, at the age of 13, multiple HBs in the right and smaller lesions in the left eye were found. Two asymptomatic cysts (2 cm and 0.8 cm) in the body of the pancreas were also found. During her recent evaluation, at the age of 16 years, MRI imaging revealed a large HB extending from the cerebellum to the Th8 vertebrae, with extensive solid and cystic nodules inside the mass and increased dimensions of the spinal cord.

      VariantEvidence: It has been documented that dynamic organisation of pVHL–HIF1α recognition is focally centred on Gln145 within the L7 loop, and its tumourigenic mutant Q145H abolishes almost all of the correlated dynamic motions. In this report, Q145 is substituted by a stop codon, p.Q145X. This is a nonsense mutation resulting to a truncated VHL protein that lacks the last 68 amino acids and thus its function is abolished.

    1. Case presentationFirst onsetA 19-years-old female was first found with occupation about 6.2 cm × 5.7 cm in the right adrenal five years ago based on CT scan at a regular physical examination, accompanied with fever and headache with high blood pressure. Tumor resection was performed, and pathological diagnosis was right pheochromocytoma. The patient was regularly subjected to follow-up.Secondary onsetDuring this hospitalization, CT scan found multiple tumor occupation in left adrenal and paraganglion region zones with round nodular shadows. Meanwhile, she had fever and headache with high blood pressure. Based on medical history and examination, she was diagnosed as left pheochromocytoma. Meanwhile, the occupying lesions in right lung and pancreas were found, located in extrabasal segment of inferior lobar and head respectively.Case characteristicsThe case characteristics were summarized: 1. A 12y female; 2. Tumor occupation was first found in right adrenal; 3. Tumor resection was performed and the pathological diagnosis was pheochromocytoma; 4. Multiple round nodular shadows were found in left adrenal and paraganglion region zones after five years; 6. The symptoms were fever and headache with high blood pressure; 7. The diagnosis was pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) (Combined PPGLs); 8. The occupying lesions located in right lung and pancreas were scanned and diagnosed with masses.Diagnostic methodThe patient was followed up regularly. Based on personal medical history, symptoms and imaging examinations, the patient was diagnosed as PPGLs combined with right lung and pancreas occupation.Multidisciplinary team discussion based on professional board indicated the following views: (1) The diagnosis was possibly considered as atypical VHL type II. Further qualitative diagnosis relied on genetic examination; (2) Other lesions like retina tumor should be examined. (3) PPGLs was surgically resected for pursuing pathological diagnosis. (4) The occupying lesions in right lung and pancreas were performed with puncture biopsy for further diagnosis. The diagnosis and treatment workflow were shown in Fig. 1.

    1. You could sew two different ribbons together and set a grommet in the seam. That's basically how the original 4-color ribbon is. Even with the original ribbon you had to wind the ribbon to the middle and undo the ribbon from the vibrator and swap the side the middle grommet is on to change the color.

    1. three METR researchers played themselves, with their current priorities, but pretending they had access to ~200-hour time horizon AIs – roughly what we expect 12–18 months from now.

      令人震惊的时间预测:METR 认为 200 小时时间地平线的 AI 将在 12-18 个月内出现——也就是 2027 年底前。当前(2026 年初)最强模型约为 12 小时时间地平线,这意味着在不到两年内,AI 能独立完成的任务复杂度将提升约 17 倍。这不是科幻预言,而是 METR 基于实测数据的指数外推——而他们已经在为这个未来做组织准备了。

    1. reply to u/UsefulLength9143 at https://old.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1ruew5h/royal_p_this_isnt_pics_font_is_it/

      Looking closely at the slugs with letters, several clearly have a "P" foundry mark which was commonly used in this time period to identify Royal's "Royal Pica" face (see: https://typecast.munk.org/2011/04/24/1964-nomda-blue-book-royal-font-styles/) which was the generic name they gave in their catalogs to this particular pica (pitch) typeface. Similarly a foundry mark of "E" was often used to represent their 12 pitch "Royal Elite" typeface. Surely it's the case that the designer had some other name for this typeface, but I've never seen Royal documents which specify anything other than Royal Pica or Royal Elite.

      While it certainly helps to see the rulers on the carriage to doublecheck, one can guess the exact typeface in this instance solely by the foundry marks, though this is not always the case for a wide number of manufacturers.

      Generally people are right in asking to see the ruler as the difference in width of slug on a 10CPI and 12CPI machine is on the order of 1/64 of an inch which is incredibly hard to discern visually on photos like these without something to use for scale.

    1. There was one thing to be done before I left, an awkward, unpleasant thing that perhaps had better have been let alone. But I wanted to leave things in order and not just trust that obliging and indifferent sea to sweep my refuse away. I saw Jordan Baker and talked over and around what had happened to us together, and what had happened afterward to me, and she lay perfectly still, listening, in a big chair. She was dressed to play golf, and I remember thinking she looked like a good illustration, her chin raised a little jauntily, her hair the colour of an autumn leaf, her face the same brown tint as the fingerless glove on her knee. When I had finished she told me without comment that she was engaged to another man. I doubted that, though there were several she could have married at a nod of her head, but I pretended to be surprised. For just a minute I wondered if I wasn’t making a mistake, then I thought it all over again quickly and got up to say goodbye.

      wow the breakup trauma,they didn't end well

    2. om,” I inquired, “what did you say to Wilson that afternoon?” He stared at me without a word, and I knew I had guessed right about those missing hours. I started to turn away, but he took a step after me and grabbed my arm. “I told him the truth,” he said. “He came to the door while we were getting ready to leave, and when I sent down word that we weren’t in he tried to force his way upstairs. He was crazy enough to kill me if I hadn’t told him who owned the car. His hand was on a revolver in his pocket every minute he was in the house—” He broke off defiantly. “What if I did tell him? That fellow had it coming to him. He threw dust into your eyes just like he did in Daisy’s, but he was a tough one. He ran over Myrtle like you’d run over a dog and never even stopped his car.”

      wow,tom told the truth to george,poor guy,but george doesn't seem to accept the truth

    3. He murdered her.” “It was an accident, George.” Wilson shook his head. His eyes narrowed and his mouth widened slightly with the ghost of a superior “Hm!” “I know,” he said definitely. “I’m one of these trusting fellas and I don’t think any harm to nobody, but when I get to know a thing I know it. It was the man in that car. She ran out to speak to him and he wouldn’t stop.” Michaelis had seen this too, but it hadn’t occurred to him that there was any special significance in it. He believed that Mrs. Wilson had been running away from her husband, rather than trying to stop any particular car.

      george start to accuse gastby as the murderer of his wife,i think hisa poor guy,everyone has been hiding secret from him.

    4. I wanted to get somebody for him. I wanted to go into the room where he lay and reassure him: “I’ll get somebody for you, Gatsby. Don’t worry. Just trust me and I’ll get somebody for you—”

      Nick cares about Gatsby. He wants to make sure he is not alone. It also shows how abandoned Gatsby is at the end.

    5. After the armistice he tried frantically to get home, but some complication or misunderstanding sent him to Oxford instead. He was worried now—there was a quality of nervous despair in Daisy’s letters. She didn’t see why he couldn’t come. She was feeling the pressure of the world outside, and she wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all.

      Daisy’s decision was shaped by fear and pressure than by a lack of love. She need reassurance and stability, but Gatsby couldn’t give her at the time, this is the reason why she turned to Tom.

    6. Perhaps his presence gave the evening its peculiar quality of oppressiveness—it stands out in my memory from Gatsby’s other parties that summer.

      Tom’s presence disrupts the carefree atmosphere of Gatsby’s parties and bring tension.

    7. I suppose he smiled at Cody—he had probably discovered that people liked him when he smiled. At any rate Cody asked him a few questions (one of them elicited the brand new name) and found that he was quick and extravagantly ambitious.

      Gatsby learns early on how charm and ambition can help him reshape his identity and move closer to his dreams.

    8. She didn’t like it,” he insisted. “She didn’t have a good time.” He was silent, and I guessed at his unutterable depression. “I feel far away from her,” he said. “It’s hard to make her understand.” “You mean about the dance?” “The dance?” He dismissed all the dances he had given with a snap of his fingers. “Old sport, the dance is unimportant.” He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: “I never loved you.” After she had obliterated four years with that sentence they could decide upon the more practical measures to be taken. One of them was that, after she was free, they were to go back to Louisville and be married from her house—just as if it were five years ago. “And she doesn’t understand,” he said. “She used to be able to understand. We’d sit for hours—” He broke off and began to walk up and down a desolate path of fruit rinds and discarded favours and crushed flowers.

      yess even gastby sees daisy inside , i don;t get it why tom ignore her

    9. As I went over to say goodbye I saw that the expression of bewilderment had come back into Gatsby’s face, as though a faint doubt had occurred to him as to the quality of his present happiness. Almost five years! There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams—not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion.

      even nick sees his emotion,he saw the interaction between daisy and gastby

    10. Oh, I’ve been in several things,” he corrected himself. “I was in the drug business and then I was in the oil business. But I’m not in either one now.” He looked at me with more attention. “Do you mean you’ve been thinking over what I proposed the other night?” Before I could answer, Daisy came out of the house and two rows of brass buttons on her dress gleamed in the sunlight. “That huge place there?” she cried pointing. “Do you like it?” “I love it, but I don’t see how you live there all alone.” “I keep it always full of interesting people, night and day. People who do interesting things. Celebrated people.”

      yess they are finally interacting,i can tell gastby pretend to be calm

    11. I suppose he’d had the name ready for a long time, even then. His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people—his imagination had never really accepted them as his parents at all. The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself.

      Gatsby rejects his real background and creates a new identity based on an idealized version of himself rather than reality.

    12. I think he was afraid they would dart down a side-street and out of his life forever.

      It is surprising how Tom, who usually dominates every situation, appears genuinely afraid of losing control. His repeated glances back at Gatsby’s car reveal an unexpected vulnerability, as if Daisy might suddenly escape his life altogether.

    13. I think he hardly knew what he was saying

      This sentence reveals how unstable Gatsby’s self-narrative has become. His words no longer sound deliberate but defensive and automatic. It suggests that the persona he performs is slipping beyond his control.

    14. I’d like to just get one of those pink clouds and put you in it and push you around.

      This line shows Daisy’s tendency to turn emotion into decorative fantasy. Her affection is expressed through imagery rather than commitment. It suggests that her love remains playful and unreal, even in an intimate moment.

    15. She had a bottle of Sauterne in one hand and a letter in the other.

      This image shows the conflict between Daisy’s public elegance and her private distress. The letter suggests unresolved feelings that threaten her carefully arranged future. The wine in her hand reveals how overwhelmed she is by the choice she is about to make.

    16. Taking a white card from his wallet, he waved it before the man’s eyes.

      This moment shows how casually Gatsby uses personal influence to control the situation. It reduces the policeman’s authority to a simple gesture. It also reveals the hidden power Gatsby relies on beneath his glamorous image.

    17. what’s your opinion of me, anyhow?

      This question exposes Gatsby’s deep insecurity beneath his confident exterior. He needs validation to support the image he has carefully constructed. It also shows how fragile his persona becomes when he loses control of the narrative about himself.

    18. I went with them out to the veranda. On the green Sound, stagnant in the heat, one small sail crawled slowly toward the fresher sea. Gatsby’s eyes followed it momentarily; he raised his hand and pointed across the bay.

      Daisy and Gatsby liked each other and they cared for each other.

    1. we used a number of different proxies at 12 different sites, and they all recorded very clearly the effects of the great acceleration. And with that midpoint of about 1952.9 years, it all makes perfect sense. So it's not just the site at Crawford Lake, but all of the sites that we looked at showed a very very similar signal.

      for - definition - anthropocene - synchronized signals of great acceleration at all 12 sites, not just Crawford Lake - Francine McCarthy, Brock University

  11. Nov 2025
    1. I began to have a feeling of defiance, of scornful solidarity between Gatsby and me against them all.

      This sentence shows how fully Nick aligns himself with Gatsby in death, even more than in life. He feels a moral loyalty that the rest of Gatsby’s world refuses to offer. It also marks Nick’s final separation from the careless society he has been observing.

    2. “I feel far away from her,

      This sentence shows Gatsby’s growing fear that his dream cannot survive real contact with Daisy. He realizes that she cannot see the world he has built around her. It also exposes the emotional distance that his fantasy tried to hide.

    3. he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes.

      This sentence shows how deeply Gatsby bases his self-worth on Daisy’s approval. His possessions stop being symbols of success and become tools for winning her reaction. It also reveals how unstable his dream is, because it depends entirely on her gaze.

    1. Specific words and images make your writing clearer, more precise, and often more interesting. Whenever possible, avoid overly general words in your writing; instead, try to replace general language with particular nouns, verbs, and modifiers that convey details and that bring yours words to life. Add words that provide color, texture, sound, and even smell to your writing.

      This makes me realize that using specific words could make such a big difference.Adding small details like color or sound can suddenly make writing feel more alive.

      Tips for cleaning the Smith-Corona 6 series electric typewriters and details about how they work.

      S-C also made this series of typewriter for both Sears and Singer under their branding. (including the Singer Electric in this video.)

      The belts on the electric motor and cams was originally a rubber 'V' belt which is no longer manufactured. Using 1/8" round cross-section o-rings of appropriate sizes (for water cannister applications) is the recommended replacement, however one may need to slightly move the drive motor down a bit so that the belt doesn't hit the frame of the typewriter and thereby destroying it over time.

      Cleaning and lubricating the drive motors and moving pieces before using may help before trying out a typewriter which has been sitting for long periods of time.

      Some later models had an electric return, which can tend to be violent. Electro 220 and Coronet Automatic 12 have an additional clutch and draw band (and lack of return lever on the carriage) for their electric returns.

    1. "Pieter de Marees announced in 1602, for instance: 'the women here are of a cruder nature and stronger posture than the Females in our lands in Europe.'" p. 12

      The masculinization of African/black women began even around the 16th and 17th century. Its' effects still reverberate in many of our American systems today (i.e. black women and pregnancy---Serena Williams popular example).

      "...they [African women] have no need of midwives, doctors, nurses and I have known [African] women go to bed over night, bring forth a child and be abroad the next day by noon." p. 12

      The same type of attitude is still held on to today and brings irreputable harm to black women in medicine more broadly as well as during pregnancy. In the present we have appointed officials such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who even repeats extraordinarily similar rhetoric.

    2. "Still, the women 'were excellent,' possessed of a 'beauty no Painter can express.' p. 12

      The clarification should be 'no white European painter could express' because the complexions and bodies of Africans were incongruent with the complexions and forms of bodies they would have been familiar with.

      It reminds me that many of the subjects and items we interact with today always use someone (or a specific group of people) as the basis of the design or insights (i.e. how medicine identifies acceptable levels of pain-tolerance often on the basis of fairer complexions or how facial recognition tends to be more accurate with fairer complexions over darker ones); these are intentional and a result of who is used as the example or placeholder for medicine, technologies and so on.

Wenn Wright sucht eine Position, jenseits einer im weitesten sind kinesianischen Politik und auch einer neoninistischen Politik. Es gibt viele Bezüge zu den Sapatisten und ähnlichen Bewegungen. Argument für eine radikal alternative Praxis ist, dass alle existierenden Politik die Klimakrise nicht aufhalten werden.

Breakthrough Energy, die Organisation welche dieKlima und energiepolitischen Aktivitäten Aktivitäten von Bill Gates bündelt, reduziert die Aktivitäten Ihres amerikanischen Policy-Teams dramatisch. Damit reagiert die Organisation auf die Politik der Trump-Administration, die die bisherige Form politischer Arbeit weigehend ineffizient macht. Gates will sich in Zukunft auf die Entwicklung von Firmen im Bereich saubere Energien konzentrieren.

    1. Überblicksartikel von 2019 zu den Angriffen auf die Wissenschaft während der ersten Trump-Regierung und ihre kurz- und langfristigen Folgen. Forschungen zur Klimakrise und öffentlichen Gesundheit wurden behindert, weil sie den Interessen der fossilen Industrien schaden. Der Kampf gegen Foschung, die Interessen bestimmter Unternehmen und Branchen bedroht, ging aber weit über die Klimathematik hinaus und dient u.a. auch der Chemie- und Agroindustrien. Zu den Maßnahmen gehörten: - Beendigung von Forschungsprojekten - Abbau des Einflusses von Wissenschaftler:innen auf regulatorische Entscheidungen - Verhinderung von öffentlichen Stellungnahmen von Wissenschaftler:innen - Behinderung von Forschungen zum menschengemachten Klimawandel - Vorschreiben erwünschter Forschungsergebnisse - Overruling von Experten durch politische Funktionäre bei Begutachtungen und Regulierungen - Einstellungsstopps und Entlassungen - Entfernung bestimmter Wissenschaftler:innen aus Beratungsgremien - Verbot der Berücksichtigung bestimmter Wissenschaftstypen bei Regulierungen - Druck auf Forschende, unwissenschaftliche Aussagen des Präsidenten zu unterstützen - Schließung von Forschungszentren und -büros und Auflösung von Ausschüssen - Umsiedlungen von Behörden und Forschungseinrichtungen in unattraktive Gegenden

    1. Very early in the morning on February 28, after they’ve spoken to Jay, after Jay has shown them where Hae’s car wasparked off Edgewood Road, the detectives come into Adnan’s bedroom and wake him up, tell him to put some clotheson , it’s time to go

      it raises doubts about Jay's credibility. He claims to know exactly where the car was parked, but if he wasn't at the scene, how could he be so certain? This inconsistency in Jay's testimony is a significant issue and leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

    2. In that second file let’s put all the other evidence we have linking Adnan to the actual crime, the actual killing

      challenges the common expectation in criminal cases that physical evidence should be present to directly link the suspect to the crime. The lack of such evidence in Adnan's case is a shocking and pivotal element, which raises doubts about the prosecution's argument.

    3. you are juggling, and everything’s in the air, and you’re frozen.You have to stay there until you’ve eliminated all questions

      I like this analogy. It’s a great reminder that in ours daily lives we should also get all the evidence or opinions first before we jump to any conclusion. Like how when we read a crime book, we often make assumptions and guesses before we even read to the end. That’s fine for entertainment, but accusations in real life should be treated without action before all the facts are out. cough cancel culture.

    4. Namely, Jay’s shiftingstatements to police and how the cell tower information didn’t fully match Jay’s narrative

      These call records do not fully support Adnan's defense, nor do they clearly prove his whereabouts at the time of the crime. In fact, there are some ambiguous parts in these records, which lead her to question whether the investigation may have missed some crucial clues or, whether intentionally or unintentionally, misled the progress of the case.

    5. Or are you only working with cases where you’re pretty sure from the get‑go that the person is‑‑

      In this segment, Sarah Koenig raises an intriguing question about the nature of investigative work: "Are you only working with cases where you're pretty sure from the get-go that the person is guilty or innocent?" This line touches on the ethical and practical complexities of investigative journalism. It challenges the assumption that journalists or detectives can be certain from the start about someone's guilt or innocence, emphasizing the uncertainty and nuances that often come with real-life cases.

    1. In the video for Walk on Water (2017), a song about art, aging, self-doubt, insecurity, criticism, and creativity, Eminem and his various clones use SMC Classic 12 typewriters to type random words in a nod to Émile Borel's 1913 analogy of dactylographic monkeys with respect to statistical mechanics.

      The video closes with Eminem showing typed evidence of his creative genius: "So me and you are not alike / Bitch, I wrote 'Stan'".

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryr75N0nki0

      Notice the overlap of the dactylographic monkey idea and the creation of combinatorial creativity in Eminem's zettelkasten practice. The fact that he's brilliant enough to have created Stan (2000) is evidence that he's not just a random monkey, but that there is some directed thought and creativity which he has tacitly created during his career. https://boffosocko.com/2021/08/10/55794555/

      Three Rules of Knowledge Gardening

      1. Make short notes; create enough context to help out your future self
      2. Connect your notes
      3. Nurture your notes; revisit, build, feedback

      Q&A

      Dave Rogers - we should challenge our notes rather than "nurturing them";

      JA: Perhaps we could use AI/GPT to "steel man" our arguments?
