Bod, I use lots of ice cold drinks (juices & sodas & water), iced lollies/popsicles; I wear as little and as short as possible (vest & undies). I try not to move around too much, but make sure to open up as many windows as possible, and set both my fans to either oscillate my room or remain fixed on me.
Not working, so first hour that I'm awake (about 6am) usually involves the following: yawning & stretching, going to 'pee', prayer, checking and answering messages (as needed), sending morning greetings to close friends & family. Maybe have a cup of hot cocoa whenever I'm done/ready...
Looks (I may be a bit vain sometimes), then Personality, then Loyalty (to God first, I'd hope) and 'last but not least' Money (too important to be ignored).
Yes Deedee, I see your point. In their attempt at making the jail time experience more humane, the policy makers have been TOO lenient. Hard labour does have therapeutic and teaching properties that can be more suitable than sessions with a psychologist, and reflect more of what 'punishment' should look and feel like.
A new study unveiled a small, soft, flexible implant that relieves pain on demand and without the use of drugs. The first-of-its-kind device could provide a much-needed alternative to opioids and other highly addictive medications.
The biocompatible, water-soluble device works by softly wrapping around nerves to deliver precise, targeted cooling, which numbs nerves and blocks pain signals to the brain. An external pump enables the user to remotely activate the device and then increase or decrease its intensity. After the device is no longer needed, it naturally absorbs into the body—bypassing the need for surgical extraction. This new technology is the third example of bioresorbable electronic devices from the Rogers lab, including a biodegradable implant that speeds nerve regeneration, and a transient pacemaker. All components of the devices are biocompatible and naturally absorb into the body’s biofluids over the course of days or weeks, without needing surgical extraction. The bioresorbable devices are completely harmless—similar to absorbable stitches.
"In my country, it hasn’t been abolished, but it isn’t often pursued in the Law Courts. The last time it was enforced was in 1999." This was stated before...
Well, to be fair Bod, it may still be part of our legislation, but perhaps many of them are like my own country that doesn't really enforce that option.
RE: How do you cope when the heat is on?
Still too much...
