Nuns in the U.S. Are Facing Scrutiny by the Vatican

The Vatican is quietly conducting two sweeping investigations of American nuns, leaving some fearful that they are the targets of a doctrinal inquisition.



真希望自己有Benjamin Franklin的這種通達的智慧:我對於國家大事,不見得比自己的朋友們更關心。而我相信Ben的了不起,他通了。
他的 On the Federal Constitution (Speaking before the Convention in Philadelphia, 1787)

I CONFESS that I do not entirely approve of this Constitution at present; but, sir, I am not sure I shall never approve of it, for, having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise. It is therefore that, the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment of others. Most men, indeed, as well as most sects in religion, think themselves in possession of all truth, and that wherever others differ from them, it is so far error. Steele, a Protestant, in a dedication, tells the pope that the only difference between our two churches in their opinions of the certainty of their doctrine is, the Romish Church is infallible, and the Church of England is never in the wrong. But, tho many private persons think almost as highly of their own infallibility as of that of their sect, few express it so naturally as a certain French lady, who, in a little dispute with her sister said: "But I meet with nobody but myself that is always in the right."


陳之藩先生引的富蘭克林演說(獨立宣言是(sic)一七七六年。十一年後的一七八七年……):

「……我承認目前我對於憲法的一些部分不同意,但我不確定未來永不同意。因為活得夠大了。有過許多次這樣的經驗:由於更佳的資料之出現,或更縝密的考慮之湧至,不得不改變已有的看法。甚至在一些重要的話題上,我曾認為『對』的而竟然成了『錯』的。所以年紀愈大,愈傾向於懷疑我自己對於他人之意見所做的判斷。很多人極像許多宗教派別,總認為自己擁有全部的真理。只要其他的與自己有所不同,就是別人的大錯。……可是,雖然許多人與他們的教派一樣以為自己無錯。但很少人像法國一位女士表達的那樣自然。這位女士與他妹妹在爭執當中就說:『但是我從來還沒有見過一個人總是全對的,除了我本人。』

During the 1990s, David Bradford was an important behind-the-scenes player in the inquisition of Microsoft. As general counsel at software maker Novell--where then-CEO Ray Noorda had a positive fixation on the topic--Bradford tirelessly dug up examples of questionable Microsoft tactics and supplied it to government antitrust investigators.

I, Claudius, written by Robert Graves in 1934, is a masterful and engaging historical novel that explores the intricate and treacherous world of ancient Rome. The story is told from the perspective of Claudius, a seemingly weak and ineffectual emperor who, against all odds, manages to survive and even thrive in a court filled with intrigue, corruption, and violence.
Graves's meticulous research and vivid imagination bring ancient Rome to life in stunning detail, from the decadent excesses of the imperial court to the brutal realities of gladiatorial combat. Claudius, the unlikely hero of the novel, is a complex and fascinating figure, whose wit, intelligence, and cunning allow him to navigate the treacherous waters of Roman politics.
Through Claudius's story, Graves offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of power, morality, and the human condition. I, Claudius is a gripping and unforgettable novel that will appeal to fans of history, politics, and drama. Graves's writing is engaging, witty, and insightful, making this novel a timeless classic of historical fiction.

South Korean Lawmakers Defy President in Standoff Over Martial Law

 

South Korean Lawmakers Defy President in Standoff Over Martial Law





Here are the latest developments.

South Korea’s National Assembly voted to lift an emergency declaration of martial law just hours after President Yoon Suk Yeol announced it on Tuesday, in a swift rebuke of the president’s response to the political deadlock that has hobbled his tenure.

Hours later, the president and the military had yet to make a public response to the vote, which came as thousands of protesters gathered outside the assembly complex in what were largely peaceful demonstrations. Mr. Yoon’s announcement of martial law banned “all political activities” and enabled him to take command of the news media. It was unclear what action the government had taken, however.

Pharmacists may practice compounding; however, many medicines are now produced by pharmaceutical companies in a standard dosage and drug delivery form. In some jurisdictions, pharmacists have prescriptive authority to either independently prescribe under their own authority or in collaboration with a primary care physician through an agreed upon protocol called a collaborative practice agreement.[5]

anorexia (loss of appetite)



"The problem in obesity is not excess weight," Lustig says, in the central London hotel that he has made his anti-metabolic illness HQ. "The problem with obesity is that the brain is not seeing the excess weight." The brain can't see it because appetite is determined by a binary system. You're either in anorexigenesis – "I'm not hungry and I can burn energy" – or you're in orexigenesis – "I'm hungry and I want to store energy." The flip switch is your leptin level (the hormone that regulates your body fat) but too much insulin in your system blocks the leptin signal.


Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (also known as Pickwickian syndrome) is a condition in which severely overweight people fail to breathe rapidly enough or deeply enough, resulting in low blood oxygen levels and high blood carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. Many people with this condition also frequently stop breathing altogether for short periods of time during sleep (obstructive sleep apnea), resulting in many partial awakenings during the night, which leads to continual sleepiness during the day.[1] The disease puts strain on the heart, which eventually may lead to the symptoms of heart failure, such as leg swelling and various other related symptoms. The most effective treatment is weight loss, but it is often possible to relieve the symptoms by nocturnal ventilation with positive airway pressure (CPAP) or related methods.[1][2]
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is defined as the combination of obesity (body mass index above 30 kg/m2), hypoxia (falling oxygen levels in blood) during sleep, and hypercapnia (increased blood carbon dioxide levels) during the day, resulting from hypoventilation (excessively slow or shallow breathing).[2][3] The disease has been known since the 1950s, initially as "Pickwickian syndrome" in reference to a Dickensian character but currently under a more descriptive name.[2]
