For those among us who know enough about the way Medicare pays for health care to be dangerous but not much more, MedPAC's annual Payment Basics reports are a treasure.

I went to a Ukrainian book fair in Noble Park:
* greeted a bookseller,
* asked if they had Ukrainian classics, esp. Executed Renaissance,
* gave my email for additional info,
* asked about the price of the book I liked & if they accept card payments,
* expressed sadness by the fact that they did not, and told I had no cash,
* thanked him for his solution: I take the book and follow the emailed instructions,
* said goodbye
And -- all this in Ukrainian! Not much but I am proud anyway!

In case you have ever wondered which quantile model fits your research question best, Nicolai Borgen, Øvind Wiborg and I have some answers:
https://academic.oup.com/esr/advance-article/doi/10.1093/esr/jcac052/6815678
We give you some very non-technical discussions (some equations too if you like) about the different estimands we can care about in our theories and how they fit to recent quantile models.
(So, don't use the wrong type of quantile model for you research any more - if you did so...)
