Ledger's key #recovery feature discredits its security by possibility of device reprogramming. Unclear how this is achieved - through exportation of #private keys or seed phrases (should be stored #encrypted) or with six-digit password protection (can be easily hacked)
Centralized recovery process offered by Ledger implies that the company views its users as uninformed market participants who will welcome this service.

#Recovery from mental health challenges is a journey, not a destination. It requires self-awareness, treatment, support, and resilience. But with each step forward, hope and healing are possible.
🌳 Acceptance: Acceptance of the mental health condition and its impact on life is the first step towards recovery.
🌳 Self-awareness: Develop self-awareness to recognize symptoms and triggers, and to develop coping strategies.

It has been reported that athletes are more likely to consume excessive amounts of alcohol, especially as part of binge-drinking practices in team sports. Can these practices affect muscle protein synthesis?

Alberta is light years ahead of us on drug treatment and #recovery. But, there's always hope for change. "With free addiction treatment, recovery is possible." #SanFrancisco

Medically assisted treatment as part of the continuum of care to help sustain recovery from addiction and overcome withdrawals from drugs like Fentanyl. They have it all.

Despite initial improvement from COVID, these (N=27) pts got progressively sicker & died
From their autopsies, the authors found “SARS-Cov-2 infection persisted significantly longer than suggested by standard PCR-negative tests.”

Maybe, but…
Her excellent neurologist feels her negative work-up, young age, speed of demise, temporal onset in relation to COVID all fit LongCOVID-related brain dysfunction & not a pattern of Alzheimers.

The Pakistani government has decided to use all legal means to recover PKR 447 billion in unpaid Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) from commercial and industrial entities.
Read 🧵 below 👇
Read 🧵 below 👇
The Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the recovery of all GIDC accrued by 2020-21 and suspended future GIDC until all outstanding amounts were recovered. However, 3,194 petitions in various high courts are hindering the recovery of PKR 420 billion.
The government may also lose the power to collect GIDC if it fails to carry out development projects, such as pipelines from Turkmenistan, Iran, or from Karachi to Lahore, depending on the international and political environment.
EU source: law implementing the global deal on minimum taxation is taken off today’s @EUCouncil agenda, but the Hungarian #revovery plan will be discussed in a non-public session
The proposal under the #RuleofLaw conditionality procedure against #Hungary is also taken off today’s agenda➡️no decision today about freezing €7,5bln cohesion money to Hungary
@EUCouncil No deal on the aid to #Ukraine either: 26 member states are for, #Hungary is still against. This means no approval today of the Hungarian #recovery plan

If we don’t learn new ways to balance these brain chemicals naturally we are more likely to relapse at times of temptation, stress, loneliness, boredom or sadness. This means building some new habits.

2/ A case-control study of 9k unhospitalized COVID pts treated w Paxlovid btwn March & June 2022 versus 47k patients w no antiviral or antibody treatment.
All >= 1 risk factor for hospitalization.

3/ It’s NOT a randomized trial, so we don’t know why people did or didn’t get Paxlovid.
In practice, we givemeds more aggressively (or want them ourselves) if we’re sicker.
So you might think those who didn’t take Pax would be less sick & do better. That’s not what was found…

This meeting will be a place to read and discuss the BIPOC, working-class, and leftist roots of the 12 steps and push back against conservative and neoliberal traditions that claim to be the only history of AA and the steps.
Left-wing and right-wing cultural, spiritual, and behavioral science traditions went back and forth to create AA and the 12 step programs.
It took my legs a few minutes to warm up this morning, but glad to report that long morning walks remain easy, in contrast to later in the day. #Totnes is waking up beautifully ☀️
5 miles walked this morning, with no adverse effects. Then strimmed & mowed a lawn. Great to not be worried about my heart and lungs as I got a real workout from the gardening. However, I'm mindful of the warnings of some with #LongCovid that I should continue to pace myself.

📍He’s admitted to the ICU
📍GI performs an ERCP to place a stent, bypass the stone, drain pus & control the source of sepsis
📍Add fluids & antibiotics

Too much inflammation & capillary blood clotting occurred, just like in COVID.

Finishing this book presents a major milestone in my life. You see, approximately 6.5 years ago I was found in a pool of my own blood in a parking lot. I ended up in the ICU with a traumatic brain injury. Here’s what I did to reclaim my cognitive function - a 🧵 1/n

I was a healthy, 25yo medical student, all excited to have finished the first 10K run of my life not even 5 hours before my family reacted #FAST and called 911.

Almost relapsed on 🥃 when passed over by the Columbus, OH @DeptVetAffairs along with other protected #Veterans. A Civilian Social Work Director bypassed all Veteran Interns serving there for 12 months for another Civilian hire. Medical Marijuana saved my life @lastprisonerprj
This was after surviving 2 deployments in Iraq, an RPG blast, being shot at through a door I was breaching and using Veteran benefits to put myself through school receiving my MSW. The VA still let a qualified and disabled veteran social worker fall through the cracks.
I decided to join National Youth Advocate Program and provided thousands of hours of assessment, therapy, resources and aftercare services impacted by sexual, physical, emotional and verbal trauma. This triggered my PTSD bad, but I fought through it to be there with my clients.
