I'd like to know the circumstances. Desperation can do things to people. I know of people (not personally) who have robbed a bank because their daughter needed medical care. Good people can do bad things if pushed far enough, but preventing a kidnapping and all the potential consequences of that outweighs any armed robbery in my book.

However, during focus group discussions, the idea was a flop, and the company was urged to scrap it altogether.

This Father With Down Syndrome Raised A Son That Is Now A Doctor
UpupaEpops 1 year ago
During our census, I had a client come in with her daughter who had Down syndrome. Normally, children were not allowed to self-report; however, I took the time, and with help from mom and I, the girl filled out her own report. She was one of the most confident, assertive and polite clients I had. Coming from a culture that can be very dismissive towards both women and disabled people, it warmed my heart to see this young lady thrive.

Down syndrome appears to cause problems with sperm creation in men and premature menopause in women. From a quick Google, there have been three attested cases of men with Down syndrome fathering a child. For women, there's a reduced rate of fertility, and a significantly shorter window of fertility.

Since 2011, the pope has been ineligible to donate his organs. According to Vatican officials, the pope’s body “belongs to the entire church” and must remain intact when buried. Others argue that the recipient may risk becoming an object of veneration, especially when the pope who passed on becomes a saint.
Until 1903, the Vatican in Rome removed the organs of a pope who had recently passed on and turned them into relics for the church.

Anti-Poachers Takes Selfie With Gorillas They Are Protecting

Gorillas pose for selfie with DR Congo anti-poaching unit 22 April 2019 Ranger Mathieu Shamavu Gorillas posing for selfie in Virunga National Park, DR CongoRanger Mathieu Shamavu. The gorillas are apparently trying to imitate humans Two gorillas have been photographed posing for a relaxed selfie with the rangers who rescued them as babies. The image was taken at a gorilla orphanage in Virunga National Park, DR Congo, where the animals were raised after poachers killed their parents. The park's deputy director told BBC Newsday that they had learned to imitate their carers, who have looked after them since they were found. The gorillas, he added, think of the rangers as their parents. Innocent Mburanumwe, deputy director of Virunga, told the BBC the gorillas' mothers were both killed in July 2007. The gorillas were just two and four months old at the time. Shortly afterwards, they were found and taken to Senkwekwe Sanctuary in Virunga, where they have lived ever since.

From Wikipedia: "The Sydney Morning Herald and The New Zealand Herald reported that on 29 April 2007, five children in Manaia were walking home when they were attacked by two pit bulls. Nine-year-old (born 1997 or 1998) George defended the children, but was severely injured by the melee. Gay's veterinarian recommended euthanising George, and while Gay reluctantly agreed with the course of action, he later came to regret the decision. The pit bulls were also euthanised, and their owner "[faced] prosecution for owning dangerous and uncontrolled dogs." Six months later, the Stratford Press reported that it had been one pit bull versus a 14-year-old George protecting three children. In February 2009, Sky News reported that George had been 14 years old when he faced off two pit bulls to defend five children aged 3–12."

While this is admirable, it makes me wonder if it didn't just transfer the problem further down the food chain. Cheap retail price usually requires cheap production costs, and that typically translates to poor working conditions and non-existent wages for the workers in a developing country.

BNig companies like Reebok and Nike have made the news for paying third-world workers a few dollars for every $100+ pair of shoes they sell. It's not just production costs that's the problem, it's greed.

That's one of the very odd quirks of humanity; most of us have more empathy for others than we do for ourselves. Perhaps it's because we aren't very good at introspection, and when we look at ourselves all we see are the flaws. Which is also probably why arseholes and stupid people aren't very introspective; they literally can't face their own flaws and only project them on others.

I don't think it would be covered in Australia either. If it is, the waiting list could be too long so quicker to build one. I know there are lots of people here who use things they have adapted while on the list for other aids. My little brother was using my older brother's wheelchair, which was too big, while waiting for his first one. We also used a mountain buggy (three wheeled pram) for him anytime we went somewhere off roads because the wheelchair wheels were too skinny. It made me a little sad that a child over the age of 5 was still using a pram, but it was better than what was available at the time. I haven't seen bike adaptions like the one shown before but it's a great idea for people larger than a small child. My brother used a bike trailer but it was getting more and more cramped before he died at 9. I don't know where we got it, but I don't think it was funded either.

The application is very interesting, it uses ultrasound to push plastic particles away from the water flowing into a small tube. That said, it has important intrinsic limitations, the biggest being that it is suitable only for small volumes at low flow speed, and it doesn't scale up efficiently. At the current stage, it also doesn't deal with the disposal of saturated water: the process impedes passage to particles, but leave them floating upstream the water flow, building up their concentration. It's an amazing result for a school project, but far from a real-life application and as a research it's not entirely original; there are papers dating back 20 years with the same concept, except that those used ultrasound paired with physical filters. This concept does away with the filters, but the filters were in place to achieve meaningful volumetric filtration, so....

I always try to be friendly with customers even if it’s busy or if I have a bad day, and did so back then. Having someone acknowledge that meant so much to me. I still have that card and part of me hopes that maybe someday he‘ll stumble about a comment where I tell that story, and that he learns how much his gesture was and is valued.

I stopped sharing my life, progress, story back in 2020/2021. Just felt right at the time. Do What Best For You is what I would tell people. I started my WLS at 500lbs, in 2014. I lost 360 pounds in 20 months. Had a few surgeries. Here and there. Enjoyed my ride. I’m growing old from past life choices I once didn’t understand, my future I get to see, at a time it was so dark. I hope someone out there who thinks there in a bad spot sees my progress and it’s helps inspire them, even briefly. Do What’s Best For You.

One of the sadder things about severe weight loss is how aged one looks after doing this really amazing thing for yourself. It seems a bit unfair. I know Ozempic brought it into the spotlight, but it just comes w significant weight loss, especially fast weight loss. Obviously the trade to be healthy is worth it! Just commenting.

A Fisherman In Philippine Found A Perl Weighing 34kg And Estimated Around $100 Million. Not Knowing It's Value, The Pearl Was Kept Under His Bed For 10 Years As A Good Luck Charm

I wonder why it's so valuable? It's not like you can do much with it other than sit it on a table and wonder why it looks like a wad of already chewed gum.

Except if it is a friendly that isn't transmitted internationally, then it reads SVE - DAN and the leftovers are RIGE MARK. I really do not like the translation of country names, I feel especially bad for Deutschland/Allemagne/Germany, they don't even have similarities, and for Nederland that gets called after one province in some languages.

I am totally with you on translating country names. Just call them what they call themselves. If there are easily translatable words like Republic or Democratic, I think they should be translated. However I don't know how difficult it gets when two countries' languages are vastly different.

Bethlehem Steel, The Factory That Built NYC
Scarlett O'Hara's Ghost 1 year ago
It lies in ruins on the banks of the Niagara River. It's not the only defunct steel factory in the Buffalo/Niagara region. While we all can recognize that progress pushes history forward, sometimes it holds the future back. The Niagara River is so badly polluted there are signs on the banks warning not to eat from the river. The NY side of the falls is a ruinous wreck with piles of trash and old rotting buildings. Niagara falls NY is too dangerous to live it anymore. The Canadian side of the falls is a huge national park kept in pristine condition

My cousin was a welder for Bethlehem Steel many years ago. One part of his job was to cut off the "Made in Japan" emblem on the raw steel. Bethlehem Steel was apparently pretending to make the steel but in reality was importing cheaper steel from Japan.

It's obviously an environmental nightmare, but simultaneously looks like a fantastical steam punk ship.

Well many workers did die. It is why we have OSHA and a regulatory system today. Without laws forcing business owners to provide safe working conditions, do you thing someone like Elon Musk would care about his worker's well being?

In Finland, that's 1997,70 Eur, but if you belong to the 100% compensation class, it's 4,50 eur per purchase. Shame on you, American system that prevents states from negotiating fixed prices.

In the UK all prescriptions are £9.60. And I do not believe for one moment that $25k reflects the cost to produce that injection.

There is a new test for prostate cancer that is 90% accurate. American insurance companies will not pay for it. It costs $2000 to have one done at the few places in America that are even providing it. So again only the rich are getting it.

They advertise (television) the fuuck out of this injection. There are FOUR different commercials, each for a different disease/condition. It drives me insane with annoyance, but to find out it's 25 thousand a f*****g injection?!? Between Chron's disease, plaque psoriasis, and a couple of other awful, debilitating diseases, these bastards are setting people up with hope, but for most of them, their insurance won't even consider it. Someday, there will be a reckoning for pharmaceutical companies all over the world. I hope I'm alive to see it.

I totally agree with you, Katie. Those TV ads are ridiculous. All of the money spent on all of the choreography, actors, paying for locations, paying for TV air time. Just to create some awesome picture of how great your life would be with this medicine. Well, they should not have such a big advertising budget. That should bring the cost down.

I live here inthe US and that price is just ridiculous to me. I don't know why all the insurance companies bulk at theses prices and refuse to pay the pharmacy companies until they come way down on their prices.

I use the same thing. Here in Canada the cost is about $3000.00 Just Shameful
