I recently fell all the way upstairs
I remember tripping over the first step and then a few bumps and thumps, and the next thing I knew, I was laid out at the top of the stairs, wondering what happened. Things like this don’t usually happen so I knew I had been involved in a very out of the ordinary event.
A miracle was my first thought but I soon dismissed that on the grounds of not being able to find any meaning in the occurrence. God uses miracles to convey a message of some sort to mankind and I really don’t think it’s his style to communicate in this fashion. Besides, what on earth could he be trying to tell us by unexpectedly propelling me upstairs.
After eliminating all other possible explanations, of which there were very few, I was left with the only plausible answer: A phenomenon, I had been the subject of a phenomenon. Phenomena come in various degrees of inexplicability and on a scale of one to ten I would rate this one at about five.
I never mentioned my experience to anyone as I don’t like being laughed at, but then I started to wonder how many other people have kept quiet about such incidents. Maybe phenomena are going off all over the place and people are too embarrassed to talk about it, I can’t see why it would just be me.
The reason I have now decided to share my own phenomenon is that, by doing so, perhaps it will prompt others to do the same. I hope so because I don’t much like the thought that I’ve been singled out, for some reason. Are there any other phenomenon victims out there?

Pernkopf’s Atlas
The set of books, referred to as Pernkopf's Atlas is no longer in print and surgeons are prepared to pay thousands of pounds for a second-hand set. These books are widely considered to be the best example of anatomical drawings in the world. It is richer in detail and more vivid in color than any other. Yet, few would proudly display it in their clinic, library or home. 
That is because the research for these books was done on the bodies of hundreds of people killed by the Nazis. It is their bodies - cut up and dissected - that are shown across thousands of pages. Critics say the book is tainted by its dark past and scientists have grappled with the ethics involved in its use. Dr. Sabine Hildebrandt, from Harvard Medical School, says at least half of the 800 images in the atlas came from political prisoners. They included gay men, lesbians, gypsies, political dissidents and Jews.
In 1939, a new Third Reich law ensured the bodies of all executed prisoners were immediately sent to the nearest department of anatomy for research and teaching purposes. During this period Dr. Eduard Pernkopf, a dedicated Nazi, worked 18-hour days dissecting corpses, while a team of artists created images for his book. Sometimes the anatomy institute was so full, executions had to be postponed.
Pernkopf was arrested after the war and sacked from the university. He was held at an Allied prison camp for three years but was never charged with any crime. Following his release he returned to the university and continued his work on the atlas, publishing the third volume in 1952. He died in 1955, shortly before the publication of a fourth volume. Thousands of copies of the atlas were sold across the world, and it was translated into five languages. It was only in the 1990s that students and academics really began questioning who the people in the atlas were. After the brutal history was revealed, the atlas went out of publication in 1994.
A Washington based nerve surgeon, Dr. Mackinnon says she feels uncomfortable with its origin, but that she could not do her job without it.
Rabbi Joseph Polak - a Holocaust survivor and professor of health law - believes the book is a "moral enigma" because it is derived from "real evil, but can be used in the service of good".
Dr. Jonathan Ives, a bioethics from the University of Bristol, agrees the atlas is "amazingly detailed" but says it is tainted by its "horrific past. If we are using it and reaping the benefits, it implies we are somehow complicit but you could also argue that in not using it, the atlas would be lost.”
And indeed a moral dilemma it is. Is it something good born out of evil or is it all evil?
A grand day to ya all!

"GET A 2ND OPINION!"(LINDA DIDNT)
Shes just someone I met 5 years ago.Shes married to someone and she has made me her big brother(She never had a Brother nor a Sister).Her name is Linda and shes now 58 years old. years ago she started getting a pain in her hip(She worked at a department store)and she would always close the cash drawer with her hip(So she thought nothing of it at 1st).Then it got worst so she went to the Hospital(They referred her to a specialist)The doctor there said she might have Cancer...So they gave her a test for it.After 2 weeks the resaults came back.They told her she was cancer free and said she would be alright.8 months went by and the pain came back and she could hardly walk(Back to the Hospital).Another test.The Verdict?..She has a rare form of Cancer(The growth at this point was the size of a grapefruit and it was into her Pelvic bone.Chemo therapy was next.shes lost all her hair.her left leg is useless and its spread to her liver now.shes gone down to 100 pounds and still dropping.I saw her last night and shes crying all the time(its hard not to lose it..but i held up).She wont be around by the time Christmas arrives.and thats sad as hell to watch someone dying.The moral of the this story is.ALWAYS GET A 2ND OPINION!!!!.If shed had done that they could got have gotten it in its infancy,and the doctors said that couldve made a difference.Now.Its all over for Linda."Cradle your Life..It is Priceless".She maybe has weeks left so Im going there now at her house to see her.And to put on the act that everything is alright.(If shed had only gotten a 2nd opinion)
CH....I wonder how she is doing.
I am just wondering how she is doing. I know we have not heard nothing from her after her attack. Hopefully all is okay with her.
Lent and other challenges
Anyone give up anything for Lent? I used to as a kid, haven't done for years. Last time I did, I gave up eating spinach for 40 days. It was tough.
Now I've been challenged to give up beer for a week. A week? Hell I could give it up for a month. A year. No need to prove anything. My cynical friend said bet you couldn't. Oh aye, I said, I'll do it, if you give up CS for a week.
From tomorrow, no beer for a week. Easy.
Cheers. 
Here's to a week of interesting blogs, new people and challenging comments.

No. WHO did not Order countries to stop doing lockdowns. Information blog.
Some people have said that the WHO expressly ordered countries to stop using lockdowns. This is Patently false.
This is what the Covid-19 envoy said last October. As usual what is being said here is a vast over simplification of what the hated org actually said.
But lets actually check what WHO's policy actually is on Lockdowns. I know you will be shocked at this, but they don't say stop using lockdowns
As you can see its a much more nuanced approached, recognizing that lockdowns are a damaging tool that are to be used wisely and when necessary. Not forbidden. India could be a case for a lockdown by that definition, so WHO would probably agree with someone like Eprib.
In any case, screaming that situations are all because of WHO banning Lockdowns is hilariously false.
This is what the Covid-19 envoy said last October. As usual what is being said here is a vast over simplification of what the hated org actually said.
In response to: A COVID-19 envoy appointed by Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has appealed to world leaders to stop resorting to lockdown to control the pandemic.
Dr David Nabarro, who has spent his career working for the WHO and the United Nations (UN), seems to have marked a departure from the global health body’s early stance on the COVID-19 pandemic, warning about the economic and social consequences of lockdown as a means of controlling the spread of the disease.
On Sunday, Dr Nabarro appealed to world leaders to stop ‘using lockdowns as your primary control method’, insisting that such drastic measures can have a dire impact on global poverty rates.
Speaking to The Spectator, the British doctor stated: ‘We in the World Health Organisation do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus.
‘The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganise, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.’
Dr Nabarro went on to say that developing economies had been indirectly affected by lockdown measures, adding: ‘Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean, for example, or in the Pacific because people aren’t taking their holidays.
‘Look what’s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world — look what’s happening to poverty levels.
‘It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.’
Dr Nabarro continued: ‘Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.

In response to: What is WHO’s position on ‘lockdowns’ as a way of fighting COVID-19?
Large scale physical distancing measures and movement restrictions, often referred to as ‘lockdowns’, can slow COVID-19 transmission by limiting contact between people.
However, these measures can have a profound negative impact on individuals, communities, and societies by bringing social and economic life to a near stop. Such measures disproportionately affect disadvantaged groups, including people in poverty, migrants, internally displaced people and refugees, who most often live in overcrowded and under resourced settings, and depend on daily labour for subsistence.
WHO recognizes that at certain points, some countries have had no choice but to issue stay-at-home orders and other measures, to buy time.
Governments must make the most of the extra time granted by ‘lockdown’ measures by doing all they can to build their capacities to detect, isolate, test and care for all cases; trace and quarantine all contacts; engage, empower and enable populations to drive the societal response and more.
WHO is hopeful that countries will use targeted interventions where and when needed, based on the local situation.
