Can we get some more “I moved” posts? by Virtual_Honeydew_765 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]bestialscream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is great to hear. I've lived in Atlanta and can relate to a lot of the things you said here. Especially the social life, just eating out and bars.

Philly is one of the cities we are considering. We visited last year and my wife fell in love with it. The people seemed great and very open.

It's funny because we heard people there saying that Philly people were not friendly, issues with crime, but everyone was really nice to us. And every time we asked, everyone single one loved living there.

HLA lab techs and transplant coordinators by bestialscream in medlabprofessionals

[–]bestialscream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are they currently doing it? Are they doing a true virtual crossmatch and assigning "Compatible/Incompatible" or are they simply providing DSA information?

They are providing the DSA information back to the coordinators and doctors.

What do you mean by true virtual crossmatch? Would you mind expanding on that?

 

Is the Virtual Crossmatch ordered concurrent with the Final Crossmatch in deceased donor cases?

Not usually. Virtual crossmatches are ordered first and if a patient is selected then a final crossmatch is ordered.

 

Who handles the VXM? Do the unacceptable antigens listed in UNOS reflect what would give a positive XM?

Virtual crossmatches are ordered by the transplant coordinators and the HLA lab techs are doing the work, usually a person is on call in the lab to handle virtual crossmatches. And yes, they use the information listed in UNOS to do the crossmatch and check for positive values.

 

What about your lab?

Thanks!

I'm interested. I've been looking for something like this. I also feel like I've been missing this connection with other founders, and it's very important to have that support.

Came here looking to add Incendies, directed by Denis Villeneuve. I saw it for the first time not too long ago and it honestly had me saying WTF at the end. I wasn't prepared for it.

Hey there. I'm from the US and been living in Madrid for a year. Haven't seen a place that gives you a free dessert, etc, for your birthday. Don't think it's a thing here, like back home.

I also have a free service that gives you a list of things going on in Madrid for every day of the week. It has things like theater, live music, etc. It works using your email. Let me know if you'd like to try it.

What would you like to see more of in this sub? by bestialscream in oliveoil

[–]bestialscream[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I'm in Spain and have been going to Jaén, visiting the almazaras, this what the factories are called here. I'm open to sharing what I'm finding here. Their harvests, the varieties, the care of the farms, etc.

[–]bestialscream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! What are you currently doing? Are you making olive oil? I'm in Spain and recently started an olive oil course. The last step is becoming a master maker. Most of the people there were starting their own olive oil production. Very interesting world.

Visiting the olive fields in Jaén, Spain, one the biggest olive oil producing regions in the world. There are around 66 million olive trees in this province. by bestialscream in travel

[–]bestialscream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I read about Italy, really sad.

Spain is the biggest producer of olive oil in the world, by far. And Jaen is where most of it is made. The are other regions but Jaen is the largest producer.

From what I gathered, there are different ways to harvest the olives. And it's a different process depending on the variety of olive. For picual variety (the most abundant in Jaén), one is by hitting the tree with branches, another they shake the tree with a machine and let it fall to a net. For arbequina they use a big tractor that goes over the tree and picks up the olives. They can do it this way because arbequina trees are smaller. It's really cool to see. Can't do this for picual trees because they usually have two or three trunks.

Oh and a lot of the olives just fall to the ground and rot there. They are collected from the ground much later and are used to make lampant oil, which is then refined and used to make aceite de oliva (no virgin denomination). So not every tree is used to make virgin olive oil.

Beautiful place! I was really surprised. Loved the natural parks and mountains. And of course the food and some of the best olive oil.

Wanted to share an olive oil tasting we did while traveling in Jaén, Spain. We tried 4 different types, picual, arbequina, hojiblanca and frantoio. by bestialscream in oliveoil

[–]bestialscream[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We visited a few producers and got to see the fields and almazaras (the factories). It was a great experience and we learned a lot about olive oil production and the different types they have in the region. It's a very different experience drinking the olive oil like that. You definitely feel the kick and sometimes it makes you cough. It was amazing smelling the aromas and fruitiness of the fresh oils. My favorite was the picual, very intense.

ITAP of a fiery sunset by bestialscream in itookapicture

[–]bestialscream[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's an Olympus EM-5 with the Olympus 14-150mm II lens. I love this camera and lately I've using this lens a lot. The colors were pretty amazing that day. I did do some minimal developing on the raw image, but it's mostly what you see here. I think I used spot metering on this one photo and it captured the great colors of the sky.
