Steve Earle is of course one of my most favorite musicians (check here for statistical proof), it was a no-brainer for me to obtain his collection of short stories Doghouse Roses then - if ten years after it had originally come out. As King Kaufman rightly puts it, this really is a songwriter moonlighting as a short story writer and some of his stories are more like songs than anything else. Earle tries to latch onto his songs style and also the kind of crude, working-class modern Southern fiction often times sounds like (Dagoberto Gilb, Larry Brown, or William Gay come to mind). The problem is, he only succeeds at this to some extent. His stories are too simplistic, too much like songs really, too often and the same can be said for his language, which works much better in the starker poetic environment of song-writing than in the prosaic world of fiction-writing.
All in all a must for anybody fascinated by the living legend, activist, and torch-bearer that is Steve Earle, but I am more curious to listen to his next album than to read his second book (a novel) which came out in 2011.

Moreover, a patient survey conducted by Project CBD, declared that “…cannabis appears to be an effective pain management tool with few negative side effects.” The study went on to say that a “…significant decrease in opiate usage among elderly patients while taking medical cannabis [was observed during trial].” In short, it has been portrayed clearly numerous times through valid and well-publicized clinical studies that cannabis is a practical option in terms of efficient pain management.
as long as it is ejuice (pg/vg) based then I’m sure using it in your tank or on your rda will work fine.. you may need new coils or atomizer cartridges after using it tho.. I’ve been vaping cbd juice in my rta like regular ejuice & it works just fine.. not rly sure about the effects.. maybe a little bit of a anti-inflammatory benefits & some anxiety/stress relief.. but i only just started vaping cbd’s & it’s supposed to take awhile for it to totally absorb your system for the effects to work optimally.. anyway.. if it helps you at all & can reduce your need for prescription drugs or other habit forming medications i say hi for it.. I’ve already quit smoking cigarettes by switching to vaping hopefully this will help me reduce another detriment to my health by not needing as much pain & anxiety medication
Love Hemp started its journey very early and is considered today one of the British Pioneers in quality CBD oil products. Schoolmates Tom Rowland and Tony Calamita were the brave founders of Love Hemp Ltd., which has kept growing and thriving non-stop since 2015. Despite the many initial setbacks they encountered and because they believed Cannabidiol is a true “life changer”, Tom and Tony persevered to turn Love Hemp into one of the top brands in the UK market. In our eyes, Love Hemp is indeed the top British brand.
Terpenes are a special class of organic, aromatic compounds found in plants and flowers and are the main components of essential oils used widely in perfumes and aromatherapy. They encourage interspecies communication and for many, serve as an intrinsic link to nature. The scent of the forest? A dozen Valentine’s Day roses? A therapeutic cup of chamomile? Terpenes, terpenes, terpenes.
Unlike other CBD oils, PureKana really does excel in CBD oil extractions due to their unique CO2 extraction process which provides a near 99% pure CBD oil. PureKana Natural CBD Oil is an unflavored, dietary and nutritional supplement for increased health and vitality. It is extremely effective in helping to treat chronic pain, support recovery from exercise-induced inflammation, swelling, management of normal, everyday stresses, and to help promote healthy sleep cycles.
Other potential side effects include low blood pressure, lightheadedness, and drowsiness, but these have typically only occurred in patients who have exceeded doses of 1,500 mg daily for a period of 4 weeks or more; far more than the average person will need take on a daily basis for chronic pain symptoms. (In fact, the majority of CBD users claim they find an effective dose to be anywhere between 10 and 40 mg daily).
One of the most expensive tinctures on the list, Pet Releaf’s full-spectrum CBD oil is carried in organic coconut (MCT) oil, and has a very light taste. You’ll be able to choose between 3 concentrations for both cats and dogs — just make sure to read their product pages closely so you know how much CBD is in the bottle. The numbers on their label refer to all the cannabinoids present in the tincture, not just CBD.
Despite, its low potency, the effects of this product were faster. In about an hour, my back pain was relieved considerably enough for me to work around and do daily chores. Remember though, this product did not, even with regular use, bring down my back pain to a level that was to my absolute liking. However, it did help me a lot with my sleep terrors and anxiety.
Elixinol has a wide range of products, but their CBD Tincture does the trick. It’s the cream of the crop regarding CBD oils and that reflects in its price. One dropper (1mg) from the 300 series contains 10mg of CBD. This allows you to get precise amounts of CBD and no guess work is required. Elixinol has received numerous awards for their products and extraction process.
They have loads of positive customer reviews on their website, including recommendations from a prominent UK/EU CBD user Facebook group. Even though Provacan legally does not advertise their CBD oils as having medicinal effects, one customer (by the name of “Seb”), noted that he/she use the 6% oil for chronic pain, and after 2 weeks was able to cut their prescription meds by almost 50%.

It’s important to note, however, that something called the entourage effect also exists. This is when users experience heightened relief from multiple cannabinoids at once. Using a product that contains both CBD and THC, along with other cannabinoids, may lessen the undesirable effects of one, while boosting the positive benefits of the other. It takes time to find the right combination to fight chronic pain, since each case is different, but, some users report relief from using products that contain both THC and CBD.
Having 1 organic certification is hard enough. BioBloom possesses 3: the Austrian, Swiss and Hungarian Bio certificate and the British Biodynamic Association one, making it the only Cannabidiol product available in the UK with a triple organic certification. This means that from the moment it was planted in the organic soils of an Austro-Hungarian riverbed to the moment it reaches the bottle, the entire process is supervised and tested certified organic. No machines are allowed in the hemp farms and the entire process of harvesting and drying the cannabis plants is done by hand. This is a remarkable product with a very strong taste (perhaps the strongest of all oils we’ve tried), which in our eyes means it is full of goodness. Visit the BioBloom collection.
These are one of the most popular (and effective) choices for arthritis and other forms of localized pain and inflammation. Since the skin acts as an excellent semi-permeable membrane that “let’s the good stuff and keeps the bad stuff out,” rubbing CBD-infused creams into the affected area has proved to be quite effective in terms of both pain and inflammation reduction.
These are the most common devices used to vape CBD vape juice. Some devices are easier to use than others, but you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to vape CBD e-juice, it’s simple. If you feel intimidated at first, just start with the easiest option and work your way up. Disposables, cartridges and pods are the simplest option if you’re new to vaping. Refillable vape pens are slightly more advanced, but more cost effective in the long run.
Vaping CBD oil is one of the preferred methods to ease side effects of diseases, illnesses, and ailments including Leukemia, all types of Cancers, stress, anxiety, joint pain, seizures, inflammation, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and the list goes on. There are many benefits to CBD vape oil. However, the effectiveness of CBD helping with these conditions (and many others) hasn’t yet been scientifically proven, and many trials are still in pre-clinical stage.

Iris Maas has a passion for health and organic food, and this has led her to set up a brand new whole food shop in Estepona. Together with her partner Hadelin they moved from Holland to Estepona recently to enjoy the better climate and friendly people.
Her interest in natural health came from her own experiences of being able to cure herself of a condition by radically changing her diet. This led her to study nutrition, phytotherapy, reflexology and Bach flowers to understand how natural medicine works and be able to help others take control of their own wellbeing. The new shop, conveniently situated near the centre of town on Avda. Juan Carlos I, offers a wide range of organic, quality products, such as fruit & vegetables, bread, lactose and gluten free products, organic meat and fish, macrobiotic, vegetarian/vegan products, vitamins and other supplements, herbs, tea and infusions, Bach flowers, trace elements, organic cosmetics, organic household products and much more.
Iris has also brought together a multi national team of therapists who can work in five languages (Spanish, English, Dutch, French and German) and provide consultations in nutrition, naturopathy, chiropractic, physiotherapy, lymph drainage, animal communication and Bach flowers, to mention just a few. “We are very positive about the project,” Iris told La Chispa. “We see it as a great opportunity to be able to help people improve their quality of life.”

Hey there, fellow dancers! Are you feeling like you’ve hit a plateau in your training and want to take your skills to the next level? Are you looking for an environment that challenges you to push yourself to your limits and grow both physically and mentally? Well, have you considered a summer dance intensive?
A summer dance intensive is a program designed to provide intensive training in a specific style of dance, usually lasting several weeks. Held at dance studios or universities, these programs attract dancers from all over the world who are seeking to improve their skills, gain performance experience, and network with other dancers and industry professionals.
Now, you might be thinking, “Is a summer dance intensive really for me?” The answer is yes! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, a summer dance intensive can offer you incredible benefits. Not only will you build strength and endurance, but you’ll also develop discipline and work ethic, which can help you become a better dancer both on and off the stage.
So, without further ado, let’s explore 10 reasons why a summer dance intensive can take your skills to the next level.
- Intense Training That Pushes Your Limits
A summer dance intensive is exactly what it sounds like: an intense training program that takes place over the course of several weeks or months during the summer. These programs are designed to push you to your limits, both physically and mentally.
- Expert Instruction from Top Dance Professionals
One of the biggest benefits of a summer dance intensive is the opportunity to work with top dance professionals. These instructors have years of experience and are experts in their field. They’ll be able to offer you personalized feedback and help you improve your technique.
Many summer dance intensives are affiliated with prestigious dance schools or companies, which means that you’ll have the opportunity to learn from some of the best dancers and instructors in the world. This can be an incredibly valuable experience, and can help you take your dance career to the next level.
- Opportunities to Work with Guest Artists and Choreographers
In addition to working with top dance professionals, many summer dance intensives also bring in guest artists and choreographers. This gives you the opportunity to learn from a variety of people and experience different styles of dance.
Working with guest artists and choreographers can be incredibly inspiring and motivating. It can also give you valuable insights into the dance world and the industry as a whole. And if you’re interested in pursuing a career in dance, it can be a great way to make connections and get your foot in the door.
- Building Strong Relationships with Peers and Mentors
One of the things that sets summer dance intensives apart from regular dance classes is the opportunity to build strong relationships with both your peers and your mentors. You’ll be spending hours each day together, working towards a common goal.
This creates a strong sense of camaraderie and can lead to lifelong friendships. It also gives you the opportunity to learn from your peers and mentors, and to develop valuable relationships within the dance community.
- Learning New Styles and Techniques
Summer dance intensives often offer classes in a variety of styles, from ballet and contemporary to hip hop and jazz. This gives you the opportunity to learn new techniques and styles that you may not have been exposed to before.
Learning new styles and techniques can be incredibly challenging, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. It can help you become a more versatile and well-rounded dancer, and can open up new opportunities for you within the dance world.
- Preparing for Auditions and Competitions
If you’re planning to audition for a dance company or compete in a dance competition, a summer dance intensive is the perfect place to prepare. You’ll be training intensively and working on technique, performance, and choreography, all of which will help you succeed in auditions and competitions.
Preparing for auditions and competitions can be incredibly stressful, but a summer dance intensive can help you feel more confident and prepared. You’ll have the opportunity to work with experienced instructors who can offer you valuable feedback and advice.
- Developing Discipline and Work Ethic
Dance is a demanding art form that requires discipline and a strong work ethic. By attending a summer dance intensive, you’ll be forced to develop these qualities. You’ll be expected to show up on time, work hard in class, and push yourself to your limits. This can be challenging, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.
Developing discipline and work ethic can help you in all areas of your life, not just dance. It can help you succeed in school, in your career, and in your personal relationships. And because dance requires so much discipline and work ethic, it can be an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding pursuit.
- Gaining Confidence and Self-Awareness
Dance is an art form that requires a lot of self-awareness and confidence. By attending a summer dance intensive, you’ll be pushed out of your comfort zone and forced to confront your limitations. This can be difficult, but it can also be incredibly empowering.
As you push yourself to improve, you’ll gain confidence in your abilities as a dancer. You’ll also become more aware of your strengths and weaknesses, which can help you become a better dancer in the long run.
- Exploring New Career Opportunities
If you’re considering a career in dance, a summer dance intensive can be a great way to explore different opportunities within the industry. You’ll have the opportunity to work with professionals from different areas of the dance world, including dance companies, dance schools, and choreographers.
By networking with these professionals, you may be able to find new career opportunities that you hadn’t considered before. And even if you decide that dance isn’t the right career path for you, the skills and experiences you gain at a summer dance intensive can be valuable in any profession.
10. Opportunities to perform in front of live audiences and receive feedback from industry professionals
One of the most exciting aspects of participating in a dance intensive is the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience. During these performances, you have the chance to showcase your skills and talents, and receive valuable feedback from industry professionals. This feedback can help you identify areas where you can improve, refine your technique, and develop your stage presence.
Performing in front of live audiences also provides an opportunity to gain confidence and stage presence, which are essential skills for any dancer. The more you perform in front of others, the more comfortable you become on stage, which can ultimately improve your overall performance. Additionally, performing in front of an audience can be an exhilarating experience, and can help you connect with your passion for dance in a powerful way.
In short, a summer dance intensive is a game-changer for any dancer looking to take their skills to the next level. Imagine being immersed in intensive training, surrounded by passionate instructors and fellow dancers, with opportunities to work with top guest artists and choreographers. Not only will you improve your technique, but you’ll also make lifelong connections and friendships within the dance community. It’s an experience that can truly change your life.
So, what are you waiting for? Start searching for dance classes near you and sign up for a summer dance intensive today!

and Chris Brown sing about never-ending love on their new collaboration
track Nobody’s Business.
The song – taken from Rihanna’s forthcoming album Unapologetic – has leaked
online ahead of the offcial release date on Monday.
It’s an uptempo track that samples Michael Jackson’s The Way You Make Me Feel
and sees both Chris and Rihanna harmonising their way through slushy lyrics
about belonging together.
Lyrics in the chorus of the tune include: “Always be my boy, I’ll always
be your girl, and it ain’t nobody’s business, just mine and my baby.”
In one section Rihanna, 24, sings: “You’ll always be the one that I wanna
come home to boy, let me love you and show you how special you are, I wanna
be your baby, you’ll always be my baby, tell me what you want.”
Then Chris is heard smoothly delivering the vocals: “Your love is
perfection, please point me in the right direction, I’mma give you all my
affection, every touch becomes infectious, lets make out in this Lexus,
there’s no other love just like this, a life with you I wonder can we become
The slushy words present a stark contrast to the last time Chris and Rihanna
united on Birthday Cake which contained x-rated verses about sexual desire
including: “Girl I wanna f**k you right now, it’s been a long time I
been missing your body, let me turn the lights down, when I go down it’s a
The love theme to the track may come as a shock to some, who believe the Bajan
beauty is foolish to so readily welcome Chris, 23, back in to her life after
he was convicted of assaulting her following his vicious attack that left
her bruised and battered with severe facial injuries.
The brutal beating took place back in 2009 after a pre-Grammy Awards party and
Chris went on to be convicted and sentenced to six months of community
service and five years probabtion – which he is still serving.
Protestors have regularly lashed out at the R’n’B star since, most recently in
Sweden where images of Rihanna’s battered face were pasted onto posters
advertising his November 19 concert.
In a collaboration track with British star Chip, Chris previously aired his
feelings on his mother being abused and how he is now seen by the public
because of the attack.
He said: “I used to see my momma getting beat down, is that the real
definition of me now? I fell off, back on my feet now, headed to the sky,
can’t even see down.
“Award shows, I poured my heart out and people still steady trynna point
my flaws out and I’d be lying if I said it ain’t get to me, but I’m a
champion, legend, history.”
Unapologetic is released on Monday November 19.

Major Steve Hutchinson was killed by a roadside bomb May 10, 2009 outside Basra, just three months before he was supposed to return home to Scottsdale, Ariz. At 60, he was the oldest combat death in either conflict.
He was a decorated Vietnam vet with a doctorate in psychology. The father of two grown daughters, he had wanted to rejoin the military after the Sept. 11 attacks, but listened to his wife, who didn’t want him to go. After she died of cancer in 2006, Hutchison re-enlisted, with tours in Afghanistan and Iraq as an adviser to Iraqi forces.
Hutchison’s unit found Laia at just 1 month old in Basra. The local vet said he would have to euthanize the dog unless they adopted her as a mascot. As policy, soldiers are not supposed to adopt strays, and Hutchison defied orders to get rid of the dog, even moving her from base to base. – Laia’s Journey
Watch the video of the dog’s arrival in the U.S. at this link.
Major Steve Hutchinson probably returned to the States with less fanfare than his dog, Laia. The two Bush administrations were admonished for not allowing the press to photograph the coffins of fallen soldiers as they returned from our two most recent wars. This practice of censoring information was not new. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s wartime staff also controlled war time information that reached the American public. “Until September, 1943, government censors blocked the publication of all photographs showing dead American soldiers.” (History Matters)
In 2009, President Obama finally allowed photographs to be published of the coffins returning from war, (The Photo Dictionary). Out of all the wars in recent memory, the horrors and daily trauma that our soldiers face in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan seem to touch the American public the least. Through censorship and lack of news coverage, the war is truly “Over There” for Americans, and almost completely out of sight. To date, 5,456 soldiers have died. Not a huge number compared to past wars, but 5,456 men and women too many.
The above image of the flag raising at Iwo Jima during World War II is iconic, showing the heroic moment of battle at its peak. Three of the six soldiers who raised the flag while being fired upon – Strank, Block and Sousley – would die shortly after the photo was taken. Such images are inspirational and instill a sense of pride in the viewer. These men were/are clearly heros. Images like the civil war soldiers who died in Antietam (below) fill us with despair. During the war between the states, over 620, 000 soldiers were wounded or dead. Images of the battlefield dead were distributed uncensored. Many were too gruesome to contemplate or to put on this blog. There were no silent rules censoring these horrific images, and one can imagine the despair that the families of soldiers must have felt when they saw them.
In the past year, a young man, Lance Corporal Joshua Bernard, died after being shot in Iraq. The AP distributed grainy images of the wounded and bleeding marine when he was still alive. Not only was there a hue and cry, but the father of the young man felt that the image was gratuitous, dishonored his son, and was painful to see beyond bearing. Yet, that one image (see it in this link, AP and the Death of a Marine) gave me more pause than the numbers of dead that are so casually mentioned as faceless numbers.
I want to take this opportunity to all the brave men and women who are serving in our armed forces and to thank them for keeping us safe. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and salute you.
Thank you, soldiers. We can't say it enough.

Wapping set for redevelopment following £150m sale
By Simon Nias Tuesday, 19 June 2012
The iconic former News International headquarters has been sold to Berkeley Group-subsidiary St George, which intends to convert it into a mixed use residential-led development.
Berkeley paid around £150m for the 15 acre site - more than 33 times as much as it cost Rupert Murdoch 25 years ago - and will now seek planning permission to build a mix of homes, offices, shops and public open spaces.
The sale brings the curtain down on News International's involvement with the site, which was created in 1986 and was key to Murdoch's plan to break the power of the Fleet Street unions.
When Murdoch switched production of his newspapers to the site it sparked one of the longest and bitterest disputes in trade union history, running for more than a year from January 1986 to February 1987.
Printing at the site finally ended in April 2008, with the final print run comprising some 60,000 copies of The Sunday Times in the all but empty production area of the site.
In a memo to staff, Tom Mockridge, chief executive of News International, said: "Moving to Wapping was a pivotal moment in News International’s history as it led a pioneering development in newspaper production, and so today’s sale marks the end of an era for the company.
"Our move to Thomas More Square in 2010 has proven equally important; enabling NI to take the same industry-leading approach although this time with the digital revolution.
"The location of our newsrooms might change but News International’s position as a fixture on Britain’s media landscape will not. We are situated next to the Wapping site and look forward to the exciting redevelopment of the area by St George."Tweet

Ramblings: I finished translating this chapter shortly after I posted the last, but had to stall the editing, partly due to my midterm exams, partly because this chapter… You’ll see why.
T/N: Any notes at the end of relevant paragraphs that are indicated with an asterisk * are usually my own translation notes, unless I say otherwise in square brackets. Words in square brackets [ ] in sentences are words I added for clearer meaning.
Chapter 29: Pusysdeva’s anger
I tear off each petal: I go, don’t go, go, don’t go, until the last one, which is ‘don’t go’. No, no, that doesn’t count! I pluck another flower and starts the whole process all over. The end result is better this time: ‘go’. Very well, if that is the will of the heavens, then let’s set off!
That is how I make my decision in going to the Cakuri Monastery to draw.
As soon as I arrive, my eyes turn into a scanner and sweep over every nook and cranny of the temple to find that tall thin figure. Ah, there he is! My cheeks suddenly heat up. I cast my head down and continue with my work. The bandage on my arm makes movement rather difficult, forcing me to rest it every once in a while. I’m in the middle of drawing and erasing when a little monk appears with a cup of water and a note in beautiful Han script that says: “The wound has yet to heal, don’t draw so much.” A burst of warmth blooms in my heart. I look up and find Rajiva conversing with Master Bandhudatta in the main hall. His eyes pass by me for a moment, perhaps unintentionally, but after seeing the note in my hands, they immediately return to his conversation partner as if nothing has happened.
I no longer have the mind to continue drawing, too occupied with memories of the first time Rajiva brought me to this temple. I want to take a walk around instead. I walk around recalling every expression, every word he said back then and smile to myself. Those sweet memories are enough for me to chew on for a whole day.
I only return to the small house after Rajiva finishes with his afternoon mantra. He will be back in the evening because my arm still requires treatment. Should I find ways to make this wound heal even slower? Better that than making myself sad with thoughts about leaving. Although I know that I’ll have to leave sooner or later, if I can somehow stall it for another day or so, how nice would that be? Boss*, please don’t be mad at me. Once a woman has fallen in love, how could there possibly be any room left for logic?
*how she calls the professor in charge of the time-travelling project
As soon as the house’ gate comes into view, I can see a horse carriage being parked in the front. I open my eyes wide for a better look. The crest on the carriage is very familiar. Someone steps out from behind the carriage: It’s a very tall figure with a handsome face, wearing a black uniform with a golden insignia and fasted by a belt in the same colour. A long sword is hung on his back. It is a universal truth there is an irresistible charm that men in uniforms have, a charm others of the same sex cannot replicate. But there is something off about this man’s face.
“Pusysdeva?” I exclaim, “How come you are here?”
Pusysdeva gives me a blank stare. It takes a long beat before he answers, “To bring you back.”
His voice is as cold as ice, making me shudder in return.
“Didn’t I say that I’d be back within ten days?”
I step closer and peer at his face curiously, “Did something happen?”
“My father wanted to see you,” he turns his face away from me and avoids my eyes, “Father…ever since he heard news of mother, he has been coughing up blood…”
I gasp: “Does Rajiva know about this? Have you been to the temple? If not, then let’s go! We should tell him at once.”
I pull Pusysdeva’s arm but he refuses to budge. He stares intently at my hand on his arm before letting out a bitter laugh: “Why bother, doesn’t he come back here every evening anyway?”
“You…” I freeze in shock. He knows!
“Masavu told me that you returned three months ago and have been with Rajiva ever since.”
Pusysdeva suddenly pulls me to him. The iron-clad arms of his are enveloping me and aggravating my injured elbow. He pays no heed to my whimpering cries of pain and only presses me closer against his chest. His face falls on top of mine, expression cloudy as he shouts: “Hiding you here, is he trying to follow Emperor Wu of Han’s way of ‘keeping beauty in a golden house’? It seems like even that great Buddhist monk is unable to resist a woman’s wiles! How laughable! And here I thought that you have never known a man’s touch before, when it turns out that you have been in the arms of that deceitful man this whole time!”
* The idiom 金屋藏娇 or “Keeping beauty in a golden house” originated from a boast the Emperor (156-87 BCE) made to his mother about how he would like to build a golden house for Empress Chen, his first wife, but it has now come to mean keeping a mistress instead. It was probably because he later married a second wife, Empress Wu, and then later had an infamous concubine called Lady Li (aka Li Yan in the novel Da Mo Yao for those who have read it).
“Pusysdeva! How dare you speak such words!”
Angry, I swing my free hand to give him a slap, but he quickly grabs it in a grip so tight that I feel my wrist is about to fall off. The more I struggle to escape his hold, the more my injury throbs. Tears flow down my cheeks as I scream at him: “Let me go! You are not allowed to malign Rajiva like that! The two of us have been completely chaste-”
“Chaste?” He cuts through my sentence, his face so ferocious it renders him almost unrecognizable. “Alright, then let’s head to bed now, and you can prove to me whether you are still a virgin or not.”
He drags me into the house. My right arm manages to escape his hold, so I grab onto the first pillar in sight and refuse to let go. My body quivers in fear. Never have I seen Pusysdeva as frightening as I do now. If he truly intends to force me, how would I be able to resist him with my strength?
“Let go of me! Why must I prove such a thing to you? You have no right!”
My right arm feels like it is about to break into halves. The wound is causing me too much pain for me to hold onto the pillar any longer. But if I surrender now, who can imagine what would happen next! He has lost his mind! More tears flow as I scream: “Pusysdeva, you have lost your mind! Do you truly want me to hate you?”
Masavu and his wife run out just then. They approach us looking as scared as I am and try to persuade Pusysdeva [to calm down]. Seeing that I will not let go of the pillar, Pusysdeva turns around and grabs both of my wrists before pressing his body against me.
“No right?” He sneers, one hand still holding both of my wrists, while the other grabs hold of my chin and forces me to look into his eyes. “I have been chasing after you for days. Not sure if you are too stupid or too smart? So it’s okay if it’s with him, but not with me? You spoke of virtues, of books, of romance and proper formation of love, but it seems like you were not above seducing a monk whose reputation is known throughout the entire Western Regions! And now you still want to pretend to be some innocent maiden?”
“How dare you insult me like that? I’ve led a chaste life, not a sullied one like yours, where you bed every woman you come across. An uncouth person like you would never understand the relationship between Rajiva and I!” I shout at him through tears. My right arm feels like it is about to be severed from my body. Unspeakable pain seizes me.
Pusysdeva is about to reply but stops in his tracks and looks past me towards the courtyard. A scheming glint crosses his eyes. He inches forward. In my confusion and pain, I suddenly feel the pressure of something moist on my lips, turning my head into a blank…
Pusysdeva tries to pry my lips apart, sucking on them and moving his tongue to find a way in. I tell myself ‘do not surrender!’ when a searing pain torches my bottom lip, making my jaw slacken. He dared to bite me! My first reflex is to open my mouth of course, which Pusysdeva sees as a chance to attack. His tongue immediately forces through and slides everywhere, chasing after mine relentlessly. It is fast becoming a losing battle for me.
*[T/N: the actual term is literally “Eldest son”.]
Masavu’s voice. I tremble in shock. Dear god, Rajiva is here! He must have seen it all! I use the last of my strength to escape but to no avail. Furious, I bite Pusysdeva. He makes a sound and lets go of my lips, one hand holding his mouth, the other hand still holding both of my wrists. The anger in his eyes is slowly receding as a strange smile begins to takes over his face. He gives me a challenging look and juts his chin towards the courtyard.
I turn my head and find Rajiva frozen in the middle of the courtyard, staring at us, his face completely pale. Pusysdeva yells something at him in Sanskrit. Rajiva trembles, his face paling even more.
“Let me go!” My anger is rising up to the sky. In my life, I have never suffered such humiliation! I am at my limits: “Pusysdeva, when will you grow up? Your father is on his deathbed, and yet you still have the mind to act like this with me?”
His face changes in colour. Pusysdeva slowly loosens his iron grip. Rajiva takes three long strides and comes in front of his brother, severing Pusysdeva’s hold on me completely. Standing in between the two of us, he speaks with a slightly raised voice: “What happened to father?”
Pusysdeva’s eyes redden as he casts his head down, clearly struggling: “The physician said…critical condition…”
I cannot see Rajiva’s face, only his trembling back. Pusysdeva suddenly lurches forward, grabs the front of Rajiva’s robes and speaks through gritted teeth: “It’s all your fault! You knew father was already weak, so why did you go and tell him that mother has passed away?”
Rajiva says nothing in return. This is not right.
“Pusysdeva, you’ve said enough!” I step around and stop next to the two brothers. I use all my strength to remove Pusysdeva’s arm from Rajiva’s robes.
“Is this the time to be arguing? Your priority should be returning to the Residence right away!” I cease my movement and stare at the two of them, my heart as heavy as rocks. “I do not want the two of you to waste time in this meaningless fight and then have regrets for the rest of your life…”
They seem wake up at those words. Pusysdeva lets go of Rajiva.
I turn towards Rajiva, voice soft: “Do you need help with anything?”
Seeing him shake his head, I bark out: “Then let’s go. If we leave now, we should be there before the end of the night!”
“Wait!” Rajiva suddenly shouts. He quickly steps into my room and when he comes out, there is a small bundle wrapped in cloth in his hands.
“Let’s go,” he says at last.
The three of us sit in silence in the carriage. Pusysdeva wanted to sit next to me, but I had immediately moved to the other side. Rajiva came on last and after surveying the scene for a second, took a seat beside his brother.
As soon as the wheels begin to roll, Rajiva opens the clothed bundle he took out earlier. Inside is the medicinal rub, a bottle of wine, a clean cloth and new strips of bandages. Only now do I remember my burning arm and notice that my sleeve is completely bloodied. The pain comes back with a vengeance. I try to use my left hand to hold up my right arm but the pain is too much that I cry out loud.
“Ai Qing, what’s wrong with your arm?”
Ever since he got into the carriage, Pusysdeva has been avoiding my eyes, but when he hears me cry out in pain, he immediately grabs my arm, ready to pull my sleeve up. I do not want him to touch me any longer so I immediately pull my arm back, but that only agitates the injury further, making me the pain almost unbearable. I whimper. He lets go of my arm at once.
The space in the carriage is very small, Pusysdeva is almost kneeling in front of me. “I did wrong earlier. I do not know what overcame me or why I acted in such a way.” His eyes are full of regret: “Let me see your arm please?”
I ignore him and pull up the sleeve myself. The two brothers let out a gasp at the same time. The bandages are completely seeped through with blood. Dear god, if this continues, I might lose my arm!
I grit my teeth and begin to unwrap the bandages. Pusysdeva wants to help but I quickly dodge his hand and in the process hit my arm against the back of the carriage. My tears flow out. A thin arm reaches forward and supports mine. Without a word, he carefully unwraps the bandages. I sit there in silence and enjoy his tender care. My heart starts to calm down and pain begins to lessen.
When the old bandages come undone at last, Pusysdeva lets out a loud gasp. The gash has widened considerably, clearly infected, and the blood runs dark red. Rajiva grabs hold of the medicinal wine. I clench my teeth and look away. Searing pain consumes me, burning through my insides, and no matter how much I try, I am unable to contain my cries. My left hand [uninjured] clenches into a fist so tight my nails are digging crescents into my skin. An icy hand takes hold of my arm. I glance up with difficulty and find Pusysdeva’s face frozen in terror.
“Ai Qing, when did you get injured? How come I do not know about it?”
I do not reply and merely close my eyes, resting my back against the carriage’s frame. The coldness of the medicinal rub is slowly overtaking the searing pain from earlier. His movements still gentle, Rajiva begins to wrap my elbow in new bandages. From start to finish, he does not say a word.
The sky has darkened. A cold breeze sweeps into the carriage. Pusysdeva is still apologizing to me profusely. Exhaustion suddenly takes hold of me, not of the body but of the mind. Pusysdeva’s craziness today has made me realize that he has developed feelings for me, since when I do not know, but I cannot return his feelings. I cannot return any of the brothers’ feelings…
“Pusysdeva…” If I don’t cut him off, he would probably continue throughout the whole night. “I forgive you…”
Darkness has descended in the carriage. I am unable to make out his face, but I can hear him make a sound of joy. I continue on without heed: “I’ll go see your father, and if he seems okay, in a few days, I will accompany this group of merchants to Taqian, and then to Chang’an.”
He grabs hold of my left hand as panic seizes his voice: “You’re still leaving?”
“I have my own plans, cannot stay at Kucha for long.”
I want to take back my left hand but he still holds on to it stubbornly. I have to use a bit more strength before he finally lets go.
“Pusysdeva, I am very tired-”
“If you’re tired, then you can rest on my shoulder and sleep.”
“Pusysdeva, please, I beg of you, at least for today, please do not touch me…”
Horse hooves continue to beat against the pavement. The carriage sways in response. I cannot make out Rajiva’s face, but ever since he got on, he has not uttered a single word, even while bandaging my arm. Oh well, it’s better this way. If I can hear, can see, my resolve will only falter. The three of us stay in silence for the rest of the journey in the dark of the night…
Ramblings: I generally refrained from commenting too much on the characters and the plot since I didn’t want to unduly influence you all in your reading experience, but this chapter almost broke me, and since I named this blog A Translator’s Ramblings for a reason, it is inevitable. You can read my thoughts about this chapter here, but you’re not obligated to, of course.

Watts and coworkers, in their review article, make several points about this ED/CAD nexus. Endothelial dysfunction is present in both CVD and ED, and is linked through the NO mechanism. The authors note that PDE5 inhibitors improve endothelial function and have a salutary effect on both CVD and ED. Both ED and cardiac disease respond to modifications in lifestyle as well as pharmacologic manipulation. These authors also report that the presence of ED gives the clinician an opportunity to assess CVD and prevention as well.20
Some men should not take PDE5 inhibitors. They can cause hypotension (abnormally low blood pressure that can lead to fainting and even shock) when given to patients who are taking nitrates (medications taken for heart disease). Therefore, patients taking nitrates daily should not take any of the PDE5 inhibitors. Nitrates relieve angina (chest pain due to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle because of narrowing of the coronary arteries); these include nitroglycerine tablets, patches, ointments, sprays, and pastes, as well as isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate. Other nitrates such as amyl nitrate and butyl nitrate also are in some recreational drugs called "poppers."
A CVA can occur anywhere through the brain, midbrain, brainstem and spinal cord leading to varying degrees of SD depending on location. A decline in libido, erection and ejaculation are frequent in men who have had a CVA, with a reported prevalence of ED that varies from 17% to 48% (28,29). Right hemispheric infarcts seem to affect erections more so than left-sided ones. The exact effects of CVA on sexual function are complex and multifactorial, as disability, psychological and emotional status can affect sexual function aside from the location of the CVA.
For many men, stopping smoking is an erectile dysfunction remedy, particularly when ED is the result of vascular disease, which occurs when blood supply to the penis becomes restricted because of blockage or narrowing of the arteries. Smoking and even smokeless tobacco can also cause the narrowing of important blood vessels and have the same negative impact.
Intraurethral alprostadil is contraindicated in individuals who have abnormal penile anatomy (for example, urethral stricture, severe hypospadias with penile curvature), patients with acute or chronic irritation/infection of the urethra, individuals prone to priapism such as those with sickle cell anemia, thrombocytopenia, polycythemia, multiple myeloma, or are prone to blood clots. Intraurethral alprostadil should not be used for sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman.
Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been proposed as a new non-invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction caused by problems with blood vessels. Shock wave therapy machines are now available in some medical practices in Australia. Although there is some evidence that it may help a proportion of men with erectile dysfunction, more research is needed before clear recommendations on its use can be made.
The association of CVD and ED was noted in 1997 as one analysed the results of the MMAS. In this landmark study, 1709 men aged 40–70 years were enrolled between 1987 and 1989. A follow-up some 10 years later revealed a striking relationship between ED and CVD. In this study, it became clear that the risk factors for ED were very similar to those of CVD, such as diabetes mellitus, smoking and dyslipidaemia.18
The role of the endothelium in ED has been noted for a number of years and the overlapping of ED and other conditions, especially coronary heart disease, CVD, affecting endothelial function/dysfunction, is clearly present. The endothelial cell is now known to affect vascular tone and impact the process of atherosclerosis, and impacting ED, CVD and peripheral vascular disease.16
Nerves originating in the spinal cord and peripheral ganglia innervate the penis. There are autonomic (parasympathetic and sympathetic), and somatic separate and integrated pathways. The autonomic pathways neurons originate in the spinal cord and peripheral ganglia from the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, respectively. They merge to form the cavernous nerves that travel alongside the prostate, enter the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum to affect the neurovascular events required for tumescence and detumescence. The somatic nerves send sensory information from the penile skin, glans, and urethra via the dorsal penile nerve and pudendal nerve to the spinal cord. The somatic nerves also initiate contraction of the ischio- and bulbocavernosus muscles.
ED is easily and successfully treated! If your sex drive is unaffected, but you experience problems achieving or sustaining erection for a period of four to five weeks, you may have ED. Talk to your doctor immediately. Don’t delay—erectile dysfunction doesn’t “just go away!” Additionally, ED could be a sign of a serious, even life-threatening complication, such as congestive heart failure or kidney disease. Ignoring your ED because it’s embarrassing could jeopardize your health.
Nerve or spinal cord damage: Damage to the spinal cord and nerves in the pelvis can cause erectile dysfunction. Nerve damage can be due to disease, trauma, or surgical procedures. Examples include injury to the spinal cord from automobile accidents, injury to the pelvic nerves from prostate surgery for cancer (prostatectomy), and some surgeries for colorectal cancer, radiation to the prostate, surgery for benign prostatic enlargement, multiple sclerosis (a neurological disease with the potential to cause widespread damage to nerves), and long-term diabetes mellitus.
The most common treatment for erectile dysfunction is drugs known as phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors. These include tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra), and sildenafil citrate (Viagra). These are effective for about 75% of men with erectile dysfunction. They are tablets that are taken around an hour before sex, and last between 4 and 36 hours. Sexual stimulation is required before an erection will occur. The PDE-5 inhibitors cause dilation of blood vessels in the penis to allow erection to occur, and help it to stay rigid. Men using nitrate medication (e.g. GTN spray or sublingual tablets for angina) should not use PDE-5 inhibitors.
Implantation of penile prosthesis remains an important option for men with ED if medical treatment fails or is inappropriate. Prostheses are available as a saline-filled silicone device or a malleable device. The benefit of the former is a more natural appearance in the deflated state, closely approximating the appearance of a flaccid penis. The trade-off is a higher mechanical failure rate and higher cost. Satisfaction rates for patients who underwent penile prosthesis surgery have been reported to be near 90%.36 However, in the majority of patients who receive this treatment, less invasive alternatives have failed and therefore satisfaction with this treatment would be expected to be higher in this subset of patients. Risks of these devices include surgical and anesthetic risk, device infection, and device malfunction. Mechanical failure rates depend on the specific device being investigated. Overall, the percentage of devices that are free from mechanical failure at 5 years ranges from 84% to 94%.19 Infection rates in the era of coated devices and improved techniques are reported to be less than 1%.37
Supplements are popular and often cheaper than prescription drugs for ED. However, supplements have not been tested to see how well they work or if they are a safe treatment for ED. Patients should know that many over-the-counter drugs have been found on drug testing to have ‘bootlegged' PDE 5 Inhibitors as their main ingredient. The amounts of Viagra, Cialis, Levitra or Stendra that may be in these supplements is not under quality control and may differ from pill to pill. The FDA has issued consumer warnings and alerts.


Riding the bus, train, or metro isn’t exactly a communal experience but, unlike driving, isn’t a solitary one either. Even if you’re commuting alone, you’re never really alone.
Overheard conversations by one’s fellow passengers can be one of the mildly voyeuristic satisfactions of public transit. A snippet of conversation is a brief glimpse into another person’s life and a chance, like Alfred Hitchcock’s protagonist in Rear Window, to invent a backstory for that random fellow passenger based on a momentary exposure to him.
Here is a selection of dialogue fragments overheard during my last 30 days of mass-transit ridership. Some strange, some humorous, and some timely. In no particular order. Which is your favorite?
- Do you enjoy ambient music?
- I hate building codes. Most of them are obnoxious!
- I do not like the feeling of ice touching my lips.
- We’re rebels without a car, man.
- That’s so “meta” I don’t even know how to respond.
- Is it intellectually stimulating or is it just a bunch of liberal fluff?
- You have to be in a certain mood to watch a documentary.
- No one reads The Economist all the way through. No one!
- I usually enjoy statistical probability distributions.
- I wasn’t a bully, I was the anti-bully. I’d beat you up if you didn’t stop picking on people.
- Ugh, I can’t stand “escalefters.” Stand on the right, please!
- Hi! No, really, I mean that. Hi!
- Oh look, it’s a rarely-seen-in-the-wild 10-car train.
- I don’t want him, I just want his Chipotle.
- We are ALL Trayvon.
- Quit reading meaning into my words. They have no meaning.
- I don’t date white chicks after seeing that movie, what was it? The one where she boiled the bunny.
What have you heard on public transit that tickled you?

MIRA-GEL® Instant Starch adds quick-thickening and gel setting benefits to your formulations.
MIRA-GEL® Starch is a cold-water-swelling, granular starch that differs significantly from the traditional pregelatinised starches commonly used in “instant mix” food products. This unique starch hydrates in water at ambient temperatures, first forming a thick, smooth consistency and setting to a resilient, colloidal gel structure.
MIRA-GEL® Starch can be used conventionally as an “instant” starch in certain applications, but its real value to the manufacturer is in the unique properties that it offers. Primarily, it forms gels at room temperatures, which are similar to those produced from cooked starches and/or other heat processed gelling agents or gums.
MIRA-GEL® Instant Starch helps you maintain quality and texture across a wide range of applications. Its unique gel functionality and water holding capacity are ideal for use in your food and beverage formulations.
Ideal for dough machinability and controlled spread and symmetry in baking, MIRA-GEL® Starch can also be used in demouldable dessert preparation. It can be used in your bread products with added grains, nutritive ingredients or texture modifiers, building structure and water holding capacity while maintaining texture.
MIRA-GEL® Starch provides viscosity, texture and mouthfeel in your hot cereal products. It is a cost effective alternative to guar gum.
MIRA-GEL® Starch provides consistency and structure in low moisture formulations, without the need for high temperature cooking. It can replace high-amylose starch in your confectionery, offering better clarity and gelatin-like functionality, and lower costs too.

It’s 50 years since the world took one giant leap for mankind – and stepped out on the surface of the moon.
Some 650 million people watched around the world as astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar module Eagle and planted the American flag on the moon.
No space event has equalled it since. But with plans afoot to travel to Mars, will this generation have its own moon landing moment?

Just as the opening notes set the tone for a song, Kent guitar history began in a way that would define its future success. My comprehensive look into the early days of this brand marked a transformative chapter in understanding the larger story of Kent Guitars.
The roots of the Kent brand can be traced back to the mid-20th century. Its emergence during the 1960s, a golden era of music, is no coincidence. Kent was a manifestation of its time, delighting the popular culture’s newfound love for guitars, thereby playing a pivotal role in ushering the guitar craze.
As I continue delving into the beginnings of the Kent brand, it is essential to recognize that Kent consistently distinguished itself by offering value-inclined models.

Carrying forward this conversation, let’s steer our focus towards how Kent Guitars has adapted to fit into the contemporary music scene in the next section: Modern Day Kent Guitars.
Modern Day Kent Guitars
Following the lineage of the Kent brand, today’s Kent guitars are emblematic of the company’s rich heritage juxtaposed with contemporary craftsmanship. Harnessing advanced technologies while maintaining traditional design elements forms the heart of Kent guitar history.
Today, the Kent Nishimura series pays homage to the brand’s iconic legacy.

With a personal commitment to keeping abreast of developments in this space, witnessing such innovative reinterpretations proves a noteworthy nod to the brand’s storied journey.
However, beyond just craftsmanship, what makes modern-day Kent guitars significant is their sound. During my study of ornamentation and improvisation, what consistently strikes me is their rich, resonant tone that links back to the brand’s glory days. Kent has managed to embrace innovation without compromising the unique timbre that makes its guitars so recognizable.
In essence, balancing respect for tradition with contemporary refinements has allowed Kent to maintain relevance in today’s guitar landscape. My exploration of this fascinating journey further underscores my belief in the brand’s enduring appeal. By upholding its past while navigating the evolving demands of modern guitarists, the Kent story continues with grace.
As we venture into the discussion on finding and buying Kent acoustic guitars, modern-day iterations, and vintage models alike, it’s crucial to appreciate this heritage. The nuances of Kent’s journey infuse their instruments with unmatched character, echoing through every strum.
Where to Find and Buy Kent Acoustic Guitars
As a veteran guitar collector with a penchant for detail, I can assure you: sourcing a Kent acoustic guitar, renowned for their excellent quality and sound, can be a rewarding experience. With a promise of rich tonal value and stellar craftsmanship, it’s no wonder they make a worthy addition to every guitarist’s collection.
Looking for a Kent acoustic guitar but don’t know where to start? Let my comprehensive knowledge and personal experiences light your way. I’ve navigated countless markets, both physical and digital, and crossed paths with many a Kent during my endeavours. Let me share with you the fruits of my experiences.
One of my first recommendations is to start with local vintage and second-hand music stores. These shops often offer second-hand Kent guitars that can hold real history and allure. I’ve always endorsed the practice of visiting such shops, feeling the guitar in your hands, and listening to its unique music before buying; it’s an incomparable experience. However, always ensure you’re purchasing from a trustworthy and reputable establishment.
If physical exploration isn’t possible, fear not. The digital market offers endless opportunities to buy Kent acoustic guitars. Websites such as eBay, Reverb, and even Amazon sometimes stock these renowned guitars. While buying online lacks the hands-on inspection factor, these websites usually provide comprehensive product details, customer reviews, and seller ratings. Remain cautious and discerning during your searches.
Connecting with online forums and guitar communities can also prove fruitful. Such passionate groups often have members who offer their vintage Kent guitars or could guide you to an attractive deal. These communities make the pursuit more interpersonal, adding an extra edge to the buying experience.
Remember, though: whether you’re pilfering local shops or scouring the internet, knowing what you want is key. Be clear about the specific model, its acceptable condition level, and your budget. These factors will significantly streamline your search and make buying a Kent acoustic guitar truly rewarding.
Armed with this knowledge, your quest to buy a beautiful Kent acoustic guitar can commence with newfound confidence. In the pursuit of the perfect guitar, your journey might lead you to unexpected places, but the thrill of the chase always makes it worthwhile. Good luck, and happy hunting!
Identifying Vintage Kent Guitar Models
There’s a thrilling sense of detective work in my process of giving an aged guitar its rightful identity. It’s the same kind of satisfaction I imagine an archaeologist feels when digging out an artifact and tracing its historical origins. In my years writing for ‘Premier Guitar’, I’ve honed my eye for these vital details that differentiate guitar models. Let me share these insights with you, specifically in identifying vintage Kent guitar models.
This task isn’t easy, especially since Kent musical instruments, known for their high-quality budget guitars from the 1960s and 70s, often lack model and serial number information. Categorizing them can feel quite like solving a complex puzzle. Yet, it’s a puzzle I enjoy unscrambling, and one I’m keen on helping you solve.
Curious to know how to identify a vintage Kent guitar model from a sea of guitars? My best advice is to start by scrutinizing physical features. Pay close attention to the body shape, pickguard style, and headstock design. Also, remember that different era vintage Kent guitars show distinct characteristics. For instance, models produced in the mid-60s typically have zero-fret, while those built in the ’70s often display a slightly different body shape.
Moving onto the more technical identifiers, an essential tip for your Kent guitar identification process lies in the pickups. Kent commonly used single-coil pickups, but you should double-check as exceptions exist. Other nuances to note are the types of buttons and control knobs used. Familiarizing yourself with these subtle distinctions can turn you into something of a guitar detective!
Lastly, in some cases, you might find Kent guitar serial numbers, particularly for later models, stamped into the last fret. However, bear in mind that many models lack this information, making the identification process trickier but not impossible.
Those are the fundamentals of this detective journey. With enough time, dedication, and of course, a good dose of passion for vintage Kent guitars, I assure you that you’ll be able to differentiate models, even in a sea of seemingly similar guitars. Your eye for detail will naturally sharpen with practice, and soon, you’ll find an obscure model or a rare gem that many others unwittingly overlooked.
Remember, every guitar has a story to tell, and each old Kent harbors its own history, very much like a dear friend with a past waiting to be unraveled. As you pick up the traces of it, know that you are not just looking at wood, strings, and metal. Instead, you are peering into a fascinating world of craftsmanship, harmonies, and legacy. So, approach each model with nothing less than a heart full of intrigue and a keen eye for details. It’s these tiny clues that whisper the grand tales of vintage Kent guitar models.
In the upcoming sections, we will be diving deeper into the discussions on Kent guitars and understanding their value in the current market. Stay tuned and be ready to explore even more intricacies and exciting aspects of these timeless instruments.

In a diverse world filled with different cultures, languages, and socio-economic backgrounds, the role of physicians goes beyond diagnosing and treating ailments. Physicians possess the unique power to make a substantial impact on a global scale. These healthcare professionals can bring about positive change in communities worldwide through their medical expertise, compassion, and dedication.
Improving Healthcare Infrastructure
One of the most significant ways physicians can make a difference worldwide is by contributing to improving healthcare infrastructure in underserved regions. Many parts of the world lack access to essential medical services, equipment, and facilities. Physicians can bridge this gap by volunteering their time and expertise to establish medical clinics, hospitals, and mobile healthcare units in remote areas. By providing basic medical care, conducting health screenings, and educating communities about preventive measures, physicians can significantly reduce disease burdens and improve the overall well-being of populations in need.
Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Efforts
Physicians play a crucial role in disaster relief and humanitarian efforts. Natural disasters, conflicts, and emergencies often lead to mass casualties and widespread health crises. In such dire situations, physicians are on the front lines, providing immediate medical aid, treating injuries, and preventing the outbreak of diseases. Their rapid response and ability to adapt to challenging environments can save countless lives and provide a ray of hope amid chaos.
Advancing Medical Research and Innovation
Medical research has the potential to revolutionize healthcare practices and transform lives globally. Physicians actively engage in clinical trials, studies, and research projects, contributing to medical advancements. By participating in groundbreaking research, they can discover new treatments, diagnostic methods, and interventions that have a far-reaching impact on patients worldwide. Through collaboration with other healthcare professionals and researchers, physicians contribute to a collective effort to conquer diseases and improve patient outcomes globally.
Education and Training
Physicians can make a lasting impact by sharing their knowledge and skills with aspiring medical professionals. Medical education and training are vital to building a strong healthcare workforce worldwide. Many physicians volunteer to teach and mentor medical students, residents, and healthcare workers in low-resource settings. By providing hands-on training, guidance, and mentorship, physicians empower the next generation of healthcare providers, ensuring that quality medical care continues to be delivered long after they have left.
Public Health Advocacy
Public health issues, such as infectious diseases, nutrition, sanitation, and vaccination, are paramount in global health. Physicians are well-positioned to advocate for public health policies and initiatives that can prevent and control disease outbreaks. Physicians can address health disparities and promote healthier lifestyles through awareness campaigns, policy advocacy, and community engagement. By championing initiatives like vaccination drives and hygiene awareness, they contribute to the overall well-being of communities and help prevent the spread of diseases.
Physicians possess a unique blend of medical expertise, compassion, and dedication that equips them to make a profound difference on a global scale. Whether it’s improving healthcare infrastructure, providing disaster relief, advancing medical research, educating future healthcare professionals, or advocating for public health, physicians play a pivotal role in shaping the health and well-being of communities worldwide. Their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment exemplify the true spirit of humanitarianism and inspire us all to contribute to a healthier, more equitable world. As we continue to navigate the complexities of global health challenges, the role of physicians in making a difference worldwide remains as vital as ever.

Truck missing and dies at idle
Im new here and reading alot of good information and it sounds like im not the only one that has had this problem but when im driving down the highway after my truck warms up it feels like it will miss one time and keep running and when I pull up to a light it will miss and shut off but will start right back up and run fine. It seems it only does it when the truck gets up to running temp. I bought the truck in June and replaced both batteries and alternator a few months ago and and replaced the CPS last week when the truck died on the highway. When it died the truck was still in gear and the tach went to zero and I was still going 50 mph. Thats when I replaced the CPS. Now it is missing worse then it was before I replaced the sensor. The truck is a 99.4 with 130,000 miles 4x4 extended cab manual trans. with 4" DP and 5" exhaust, K&N intake until next month when I can buy the Ford AIS Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cant afford to take it to the stealer but I have an appointment tomorrow to take it in for a diagnostic check.
