As measles outbreak rages in Texas, RFK Jr. pushes anti-vaccine message

The largest measles outbreak Texas has seen in over 30 years is sweeping through the western part of the state.

I had titer testing done found that my MMR and Tdap vaccines needed updating, with my doctor’s guidance.

I’d suggest for anyone who’s able to do the same. It may be in Texas now, but our world is fairly borderless thanks to travel. This absolute failure of “leadership” will allow previously-controlled diseases to spread; look out for yourselves.

Government webpages across all sectors are being edited or removed, so here’s an archived link to the CDC vaccination schedule:

The ups and downs of medical school

One negative thing that happened to me today:

I didn't develop immunity to the Varicella or MMR vaccines I got as a baby so a requirement for third year is that I get immunity. Reasonable. But when I tried to get vaccinated through the school in September they said they don't do that so they sent the script to CVS but the closest CVS that could fill it was over an hour away. So I went through my PCP and she gave me two Varicella shots and an MMR shot as per CDC recommendations. So I went to get titers which have to be quantitative for third year, but it turns out that my PCP doesn't do quantitative titers. So I went back to the school to get them done but for some reason they decided that I can't get that without another MMR vaccine. And my PCP won't give me another MMR without a titer saying I'm not immune. So the school sent me to CVS where I had to pay $100 out of pocket for it because my health insurance doesn't cover vaccines that aren't given through my PCP. But I also need all this done by April 19th or else I'm not allowed to go to third year so I have to get it now so that I can wait the required 4 weeks before getting my titer done and have the titer results for April 19th so I couldn't do anything I had no choice but to just suck it up and throw another $100 into the endless hole that is my student debt. Ugh.

One positive thing that happened to me today:

When I did my first pelvic exam on a real person, I pinched my patient with the speculum a bit. I apologized, and she forgave me, saying that she trusted me and that hopefully it wouldn't happen again, and I assured her I'd try my best not to let it. So I went to our clinical skills faculty and asked to get a bit more practice removing a speculum from a plastic model today. The physician had me do it over and over again until it was muscle memory, and now I feel confident in my ability to do an exam in my OB/GYN rotation!

It was just so satisfying to pinpoint something in my skill set that needed improvement, work hard to improve it on my own initiative, and have that pay off. That also kinda seems like it's how the next two years are gonna be, so now I'm even more excited for clinicals.

ХАЮШКИ... Самый живучий миф нашей пропаганды: внешняя политика Путина гениальна, и благодаря ему Россию снова уважают в мире. Естественно, это враньё. Конечно, нам рассказывают и про гениальность политики Путина внутри страны. Но потом мы идём в магазин и в поликлинику, сталкиваемся с полицейским произволом. Видим распухших от воровства министров и депутатов. И вера в эту внутреннюю гениальность исчезает. А вот в то, что на мировой арене Путин велик, верят по-прежнему десятки миллионов. И в то, что нас снова в мире уважают – тоже. Почему эта вера так устойчива? Отчасти, потому что россияне не понимают: в мире давно уже размер территории и количество танков не имеют никакого значения. Если вдруг выяснится, что никакого величия державы в реальности нет, у десятков миллионов россиян случится ломка наподобие наркотической. Именно это, кстати, произошло в 90-е. И на самом деле именно за это многие ненавидят то время и боятся его. В конце 80-х люди были абсолютно уверены, что живут в могучей сверхдержаве. А она развалилась в одночасье. Потому что никакой сверхдержавой к тому моменту уже не была. Именно этого люди боятся и сейчас: что их вера в сверхдержаву опять разойдётся с реальностью.

Motion design is not synonymous with interface animation. This is important because UI animation is almost always viewed as a cosmetic enhancement, added as the last thing that has nothing to do with UX. Motion is not a decoration, it is a behavior, and a behavior can only help or hinder the user experience. Two types of interaction: real-time and non-real-time Motion design involves two fundamental interactions: real-time and non-real-time. Real-time interaction provides immediate feedback as users manipulate interface elements on the screen. In other words, movement responds instantly to user input. Non-real-time interaction occurs after user input, which means users must pause briefly and observe the result of the movement before proceeding. #typography #intro #titers #infographics #icons #presentations #logos #flatlay #lineart #stopmotion #comicsstyle #productmarketing #sellvideo #oterman #oterman_want_comics #oterman_drawme #otermanfilms #comics #comicsblog #comicsblogoterman #illistration #didgital #reflector #humandesign #monsterman #motiondesign #moscow #sochi #mars (at Mars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHLEF-sJYw/?utm_medium=tumblr

The fusion of motion and UX design is relatively new, but its roots go back to Disney. Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston were some of Walt Disney's most respected animators, and the authors of classics such as Pinnochio, Bambi and Fantasy. Their 12 core principles of animation continue to influence motion graphics in films, television, and digital content. Disney Principles outlines the basic laws of physical motion for the sake of animated storytelling. They allow the drawn characters to move and show emotion, but do not fully meet the needs of the modern interface for interactive movement. #typography #intro #titers #infographics #icons #presentations #logos #flatlay #lineart #stopmotion #comicsstyle #productmarketing #sellvideo #oterman #oterman_want_comics #oterman_drawme #otermanfilms #comics #comicsblog #comicsblogoterman #illistration #didgital #reflector #humandesign #monsterman #motiondesign #moscow #sochi #mars (at Mars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHK3_pMKyC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Motion has a huge impact on the user experience of digital products, but usability will suffer if the interface elements do not reflect the core principles of motion design. In the context of interfaces, movement is more than just decoration. It is a compelling force that drives product improvement and enhances the communication capabilities of a design. Our world is a world of movement. Even in moments of rest, the leaves tremble and the lungs expand. In digital product design, movement can seem like second nature, an extension of everyday life that can be used effortlessly. If it were true. #typography #intro #titers #infographics #icons #presentations #logos #flatlay #lineart #stopmotion #comicsstyle #productmarketing #sellvideo #oterman #oterman_want_comics #oterman_drawme #otermanfilms #comics #comicsblog #comicsblogoterman #illistration #didgital #reflector #humandesign #monsterman #motiondesign #moscow #sochi #mars (at Mars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHKsQVslsJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

2. Offset and Delay When multiple interface elements move at the same time and at the same speed, users tend to group them together and overlook the possibility that each element can have its own function. Offset and delay create a hierarchy between interface elements that move at the same time, and communicate that they are related but different. Instead of full synchronization, the time, speed and spacing between elements change, resulting in a subtle "one by one" effect. As users move between screens, the offset and lag signal multiple interaction options exist. #typography #intro #titers #infographics #icons #presentations #logos #flatlay #lineart #stopmotion #comicsstyle #productmarketing #sellvideo #oterman #oterman_want_comics #oterman_drawme #otermanfilms #comics #comicsblog #comicsblogoterman #illistration #didgital #reflector #humandesign #monsterman #motiondesign #moscow #sochi #mars (at Mars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHIpndsPPS/?utm_medium=tumblr

3. Parenting Parenting binds properties of one interface element to properties of others. When a property on the parent changes, the associated properties of the children change as well. All properties of an element can be linked to each other. For example, the position of the parent element can be snapped to the scale of the child element. When the parent is moved, the child grows or shrinks in size. Parenting creates relationships between interface elements, establishes a hierarchy, and allows multiple elements to communicate with users at the same time. For this reason, parenting is most effective when interacting in real time. #typography #intro #titers #infographics #icons #presentations #logos #flatlay #lineart #stopmotion #comicsstyle #productmarketing #sellvideo #oterman #oterman_want_comics #oterman_drawme #otermanfilms #comics #comicsblog #comicsblogoterman #illistration #didgital #reflector #humandesign #monsterman #motiondesign #moscow #sochi #mars (at Mars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHIU1tM7Qt/?utm_medium=tumblr
