It's been a while...got busy with work and everyday activities. But believed me guys, I missed to be here.
Am so sick today, the last time I was sick was in 2012, my health dropped down when my father died. I seldom got sick as, I am careful with everything I put in my mouth , had to do some workouts, as I believed, health is important than anything else.
But, as age adds, really true, immune system starts to lower it's performsnce. Becoming weak . I could not imagine those who are suffering with serious sickness. If I only could change my head ...huhhhh...this is real worst.

... US president Wilson, professor and idea man behind his 14 points for peace Great War armistice, embryo seed for the UN, was reportedly a victim of the 1918 (Spanish) influenza---epidemic in Gay Paris at the time. We think of the flu, as with this current novid 19, as having many physical signs and symptoms. But in some cases, it affects the ability to think, even if no frank severe encephalitis is fully present. President Wilson's usually forceful personality, influential in a somewhat generous treaty proposal with Germany, apparently was in no shape for later argument with French politician Clemenceau (known as the tiger), who wanted a pound of flesh from the German broken, starving and demoralized state. Witnesses say that Wilson was shaky, confused and anything but a match for the French. Sort of like Creepy Joe will be in debates with President Trump. But I digress. When the final plan was signed in Vesailles, some 20 miles away, the already badly beaten Germans were skewered with impossible war debt, humiliating other terms, and almost total demilitarisation. Most historians see a direct connection with the rise of Hitler and Nazism over the following 20 years. Wish I could make this stuff up.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is sort of a “cousin” of fat. Both fat and cholesterol belong to a larger family of chemical compounds called lipids. All the cholesterol the body needs is made by the liver. It is used to build cell membranes and brain and nerve tissues. Cholesterol also helps the body produce steroid hormones needed for body regulation, including processing food, and bile acids needed for digestion.

People don't need to consume dietary cholesterol because the body can make enough cholesterol for its needs. Only foods of animal origin contain cholesterol.

Cholesterol is transported in the bloodstream in large molecules of fat and protein called lipoproteins. Cholesterol carried in low-density lipoproteins is called LDL-cholesterol; most cholesterol is of this type. Cholesterol carried in high-density lipoproteins is called HDL-cholesterol.

LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol act differently in the body. A high level of LDL-cholesterol in the blood increases the risk of fatty deposits forming in the arteries, which in turn increases the risk of a heart attack. Thus, LDL-cholesterol has been dubbed “bad” cholesterol.

On the other hand, an elevated level of HDL-cholesterol seems to have a protective effect against heart disease. For this reason, HDL-cholesterol is often called “good” cholesterol.

joe soaps of the world, Show more support to the Jr Doctors of Britain in their currant plight.
Im watching this on the news and I feel sickened over the last few days the way the media are vilifying the doctors who are fighting unjust expectations on an already overworked and under payed work force.
Hearing things like
"Theresa May told doctors to stop “playing politics”"
Sounds like an upper class twat telling the working class to know their place.

Sure its Low of the medical profession to hold people to emotional ransom to justify the ends of its argument. But its Just as bad for people to think they should not. That they should work without voice,
no matter what the burden.
Could this contract be the proverbial straw that breaks the back of the nhs beast of burden.

and if so will we see the same trend go global..
All I know is that the business of sickness is a multi billion industry,
and where business is involved people are secondary be they doctors or patients

So where I started was with connection. Because, by the time you're a social worker for 10 years, what you realize is that connection is why we're here. It's what gives purpose and meaning to ourlives. This is what it's all about. It doesn't matter whether you talk to people who work in socialjustice and mental health and abuse and neglect, what we know is that connection, the ability tofeel connected, is - neurobiologically that's how we're wired - it's why we're here. So I thought, youknow what, I'm going to start with connection. Well you know that situation where you get anevaluation from your boss, and she tells you 37 things you do really awesome, and one thing - anopportunity for growth? (Laughter) And all you can think about is that opportunity for growth, right. Well apparently this is the way my work went as well, because, when you ask people aboutlove, they tell you about heartbreak. When you ask people about belonging, they'll tell you theirmost excruciating experiences of being excluded. And when you ask people about connection, thestories they told me were about disconnection.

So very quickly - really about six weeks into this research - I ran into this unnamed thing thatabsolutely unraveled connection in a way that I didn't understand or had never seen. And so Ipulled back out of the research and thought, I need to figure out what this is. And it turned out tobe shame. And shame is really easily understood as the fear of disconnection. Is there somethingabout me that, if other people know it or see it, that I won't be worthy of connection. The things Ican tell you about it: it's universal; we all have it. The only people who don't experience shamehave no capacity for human empathy or connection. No one wants to talk about it, and the lessyou talk about it the more you have it. What underpinned this shame, this "I'm not goodenough," - which we all know that feeling: "I'm not blank enough. I'm not thin enough, richenough, beautiful enough, smart enough, promoted enough." The thing that underpinned thiswas excruciating vulnerability, this idea of, in order for connection to happen, we have to allowourselves to be seen, really seen.

Physician David Drew Pinsky, commonly referred to as Dr. Drew, slammed the media in a CBS News interview late last week, saying that it is responsible for causing the American public to panic, which is hurting businesses and people.

The storm has passed, The real story tho is on our streets. Today between 11 am and 7 pm. I helped out the outreach program with Inner City Helping Homeless Our job for the day was to drive the route and speak to the homeless and advise them of a great initiative at Brother Kevin's on bow st. We did one half of the city and spoke to over 100 people ranging in age. They all thanked us for the information more than half the people came for food and shelter. but the really sad news is this, from talking to the homeless today most of them told us that they feel safer on the streets, The streets are better then the hostels one said. So, on a day that our government was advising people to stay behind closed doors and stay safe, there were over 200 people in the city Dublin that did not have doors they had doorways and if was not for the great work done by. Brother Kevin Cllr Christy Burke and all the volunteers and Inner City Helping Homeless that would have been the only alternative for most of these people a doorway

It appears there's no reason to wear a mask at the White House as everyone working there has COVID-19 and under quarantine.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and 2 of her deputies are on the list!

My suggestion... If you plan to have a tour of the White House on Columbus Day, it would be a good idea to postpone that trip!
