For what’s likely to be my last summary of the 1811 tweets from the San Diego Pain Summit 2017 using various metrics of tweet importance, I created a ranked word-pair vocabulary from the body of tweets, where each word-pair had to occur within single tweets. With this pair-vocabulary in place, I then summed up the word-pair […]
This post is a follow-up to yesterday’s “Things” from the Pain Summit (Literally); another means of extracting information from the 1811 tweets from the San Diego Pain Summit 2017. This time I took the 100 top words from the Pain Summit tweets, excluding the first word, which was pain. Other than as a consistency check, […]
After a too long hiatus, Ramblemuse Touch Points (RMTP) is active again, now updated to current WordPress and restyled to match the main Ramblemuse.com theme. For help with the learning curve on creating a WordPress theme from scratch, I can point to a tutorial at wpdesigner with thanks. The tutorial was organized the way I […]
At just over two weeks since my lay-off from LLNL, the lab is already starting to seem a memory seen through the aerosol-induced haze of distance. By focusing and working intensely on other endeavors, such as networking () and the general bibliography, I’ve deliberately accelerated my own psychological perception of the passing of time. Simply […]
One of the books I’d gotten when I’d started thinking seriously of freelance writing a couple of years ago was Media Bistro’s first book — “Get a Freelance Life” by Margit Feury Ragland. I didn’t note it when I mentioned Media Bistro a few days ago, but the website includes sections for jobs and profiles, […]
We too often seem to live in a world in which few understand the method of achieving a goal by fostering conditions in which that goal would naturally occur. Groups opposing the rate of abortions try to reduce that rate by legal force rather than by working to create conditions of education and economic means […]
I’ve been quiet on this blog lately, but not dormant. The end of May, I was off to the Santa Fe Science Writing Workshop. This allowed me to learn from the faculty and presenters with a great diversity of backgrounds and experience, including NY Times, Scientific American, Knight Media, and freelance work. It was a […]
I recently subscribed to a couple of Time.com RSS feeds on science and health. On the health side, In Perils of the Lonely Brain, Jeffrey Kluger writes about research on how feelings of isolation negatively effect executive function. In What We’ll be Dying From, Michael Lemonick notes a World Health Organization report on the top […]
I’ve been absorbed lately bringing up a rebirth of the Annotated Bibliography for Massage Practitioners. A lot of the books come from my own library. Others occur because I’m familar with the author or publisher. I’ve attempted to capture a perspective that extends far beyond technique to include the interpersonal, sociological, and psychological implications of […]
In my upcoming Massage Today Column for June (as in up any day now), I was writing about embodiment and refer to the philosophical framework of Merleau-Ponty. In my starting post here, I referred to things that are liminal (neither this nor that) and of a threshold. I noticed a book chapter abstract by Gilsenan […]
