This much anticipated collection of stories, written by Oxford University Fellow and Pain Scientist, Dr GL Moseley, provides an entertaining and informative way to understand modern pain biology. Described by critics as 'a gem' and by clinicians as 'entertaining and educative', Painful Yarns is a unique book. The stories, some of his travels in outback Australia, some of experiences growing up, are great yarns. At the end of each story, there is a section "so what has this got to do with pain?" in which Lorimer uses the story as a metaphor for some aspect of pain biology. The level of the pain education is appropriate for patients and health professionals. The entertainment is good for everyone. You don't have to be interested in pain to get something from this book and a laugh or two!

For over 150 years, Tlingit women artists have beaded colorful, intricately beautiful designs on moccasins, dolls, octopus bags, tunics, and other garments. Painful Beauty suggests that at a time when Indigenous cultural practices were actively being repressed, beading supported cultural continuity, demonstrating Tlingit women’s resilience, strength, and power. Beadwork served many uses, from the ceremonial to the economic, as women created beaded pieces for community use and to sell to tourists. Like other Tlingit art, beadwork reflects rich artistic visions with deep connections to the environment, clan histories, and Tlingit worldviews. Contemporary Tlingit artists Alison Bremner, Chloe French, Shgen Doo Tan George, Lily Hudson Hope, Tanis S’eiltin, and Larry McNeil foreground the significance of historical beading practices in their diverse, boundary-pushing artworks. Working with museum collection materials, photographs, archives, and interviews with artists and elders, Megan Smetzer reframes this often overlooked artform as a site of historical negotiations and contemporary inspirations. She shows how beading gave Tlingit women the freedom to innovate aesthetically, assert their clan crests and identities, support tribal sovereignty, and pass on cultural knowledge. Painful Beauty is the first dedicated study of Tlingit beadwork and contributes to the expanding literature addressing women’s artistic expressions on the Northwest Coast.

Painful Death by Prince Kafain Emmanuel Mbeng Sr. Pdf
You can choose to mourn the loss of a loved one for the rest of your life, or you can choose to memorialize only the good times you enjoyed with him or her. You can also choose to exemplify aspects of his or her life, with emphasis and direct reference to elements of an ordeal that would be correctively meaningful to the general population. I have thus chosen to give grief to those who want to continue grieving, and dramatic relief and closure to those who have chosen to remember my son, Junior, with the belief that God's time is the best! Whatever choice you make will depend on you as an individual, and I can assure you that Taku and I have chosen to focus only on the joyous days that we enjoyed with our "Junior" when we had him here with us. I therefore urge his mother and everyone else to do same, for only then would those lamentations begin to dissipate and rejuvenate continuation of the pleasures of life, after such an emotionally painful loss. The loss of a child is the most devastating experience a parent can ever bear. June 29, 2018, has now been added to the calendar for celebrations in my family, but unlike the conventional birthday celebrations, it is the day that my son, Emmanuel Kafain Mbeng Jr., famously nicknamed JUNIOR, went to be with his maker. His departure from this earth has paralyzed my zeal to live and enjoy life and brought tears of regrets to my eyes--regrets for inability to prevent his death at a time when I was supposed to need him and his brother most. He continues to live in me, and I try to visit him as many times as I can, hoping to ease my pain of loss, to be able to remain strong for all in my family who depend on me. Junior was a smart kid, who grew up to be as caring, compassionate, and partially responsible; and he was full of life, wanting to be a star in music and not in the athletic sports that he excelled in. His love of freedom drove him to do crazy adventures, just like most ambitious kids his age, but his understanding of independence, or lack thereof, was obliterated by an unproductive self-consciousness that would end his life before allowing him time to rethink it over, and leave his loved ones wondering daily what they all could have missed. Read this book to the end, even if it is just to provide yourself with experience on what to expect when you confront your kids. Of course, no matter how rambunctious your kids may be, you must never take their well-being for granted, lest you become a victim of conditional love. The loss of a child is truly devastating and a parent's worst nightmare. Prince Kafain Emmanuel Mbeng Sr. shares the loss of his son hoping that other parents can learn from his experience. You have just lost your child and gone through an emotionally draining mourning period, and the pain of the loss is with you forever. Everyone says it will go away eventually, but only you know how you feel and what you are going through, and mindful of the shortcomings of that fateful day that has become a day of reckoning and apprehension for you and your family; mindful of all parental awareness difficulties and constant fears; mindful of the challenges of overcoming the loss; and mindful of all the rants from the father, mother, and members of the community of friends and family, the loss of a child remains the worst nightmare in the life of a parent. It is with much emotional pain that the author, Prince Kafain Emmanuel Mbeng Sr. has chosen to embark on this honest declaration that should serve as a wake-up call to every parent who is taking the challenges of parenting for granted. It could be you!
Illustrated autobiography of Lord Henniker (1916-2004), including pre-war service with the Foreign Office, wartime in Yugoslavia with Fitzroy Maclean and Tito, postwar with Ernest Bevin, marriage to Osla Benning, Ambassador to Jordan and Denmark, Director-General of British Council, marriage to Julia Poland and their rejuvenation of the Thornham Estate in Suffolk.
Under what conditions should we expect states to do things radically differently all of a sudden? In this book, David Welch seeks to answer this question, constructing a theory of foreign policy change inspired by organization theory, cognitive and motivational psychology, and prospect theory. He then "test drives" the theory in a series of comparative case studies in the security and trade domains: Argentina's decision to go to war over the Falklands/Malvinas vs. Japan's endless patience with diplomacy in its conflict with Russia over the Northern Territories; America's decision to commit large-scale military force to Vietnam vs. its ultimate decision to withdraw; and Canada's two abortive flirtations with free trade with the United States in 1911 and 1948 vs. its embrace of free trade in the late 1980s. Painful Choices has three main objectives: to determine whether the general theory project in the field of international relations can be redeemed, given disappointment with previous attempts; to reflect on what this reveals about the possibilities and limits of general theory; and to inform policy. Welch argues that earlier efforts at general theory erred by aiming to explain state behavior, which is an intractable problem. Instead, since inertia is the default expectation in international politics, all we need do is to explain changes in behavior. Painful Choices shows that this is a tractable problem with clear implications for intelligence analysts and negotiators.

In India, a child is born every two seconds, and 90 minor girls get raped every day (According to NCRB Reports 2023). Due to our illiterate politicians, we fight with each other in the name of religion and are busy protecting our religion. This work of fiction was created by our politicians to prevent our society and its people from questioning them about our country's development. If we are preoccupied with our own lives, we have no time to ask or question them about the development of our country. I have written eight different stories that discuss our biased society and its so-called terms and conditions. Through this book, I aim to encourage every girl in our country to break free from the backward thinking that a girl is only meant to cook and dress according to the dress codes set by men in our country. No girl is weak because, in India, I have observed that when a girl is born, she is cherished by her father until she turns 12, her mother becomes her best friend until she reaches 25, and from 26 onwards, she is expected to be a housewife and raise children until her death. Does she have her own life? As a child, she is told that the entire family's honor rests on her young shoulders and she should keep her distance from others. As she grows up, she is instructed to be home before the street lights come on because her parents are concerned about society. The stories below serve as inspiration and prompt you to think and act wisely. 1) Lachchi: a Karma that Haunts - This story talks about a 12-year-old child, Lachchi, getting married to a 40-year-old man. The story explores the consequences of child marriage and karma, showing how she haunts her son before he can marry his sister. I wanted to tell people about the trauma a child goes through when she is pushed into nuptial ties at an early age. 2) Jennet: The Tale of a Courageous Young Woman! - This tale revolves around a physically challenged girl who was subjected to gang rape at a young age and her subsequent entry into the police force. With an IQ of 190, surpassing that of Einstein, she embarks on tackling the most significant human trafficking case after joining the police force. 3) The Last Ship to London: This narrates the journey of British-born Suzzain Bradshaw during the India and Pakistan partition. She must board the final ship to London before its departure. The account follows her from her residence to the vessel, where she experiences the traumatic event of being raped, resulting in memory loss. This narrative conveys the message that when a flame is ignited, it not only consumes the forest but also affects the individuals who sparked the fire. 4) Eternal Love! Sometimes it can be a curse: This is a horror tale of a solitary superstar and his deceased fan. It delves into the tale of the eccentric wife of a monarch and how following her passing, she anticipates his rebirth. Whether she will triumph or face losing him once more is the essence of this narrative. 5) Vidya! An Abandoned Child: This concerns a girl named Vidya who is detained at Dubai airport during her exit immigration. The narrative explores her parents who have forsaken her. It delves into how she developed feelings for a man over the phone and whether she will be released from the UAE prison to reunite with him. Will she have the opportunity to encounter her estranged parents and the individual she has never met? 6) Confession of a Ritual Man: This is a confession by a 94-year-old man who used to give the last bath to dead bodies. It is about him discussing the circumstances of his raping a dead girl while carrying out the last bath and his life journey while on his deathbed. 7) An Archaeologist's Adventure in the Mystic City on the Sand Islands: This is a sci-fi fantasy tale that continues from my initial novel "Did You See My Family?" They have been missing for the last two years. It is the emotional roller-coaster life of an archaeologist who discovered the mystic city in Misr. 8) Resilience in Relationships: A Woman's Journey Through Marriage and Transformation! The life of a woman who got married for the first time at the age of 14 and later went on to marry three more times after losing her first child with her second husband is a complex and compelling story that sheds light on the challenges and resilience of women in relationships. This Story will explore the experiences of this woman, examining the societal norms and pressures that influenced her decisions, as well as the personal growth and transformation she underwent throughout her marriages. Through an analysis of historical context, cultural expectations, and personal narratives, this Story will delve into the reasons behind the woman's early marriage at 14 years old, exploring how societal norms and familial pressures may have played a role in shaping her choices. Additionally, this Story will examine the impact of losing her first child with her second husband on her subsequent marriages, considering how grief and trauma may have influenced her relationships. Furthermore, this Story will explore the woman's personal growth and resilience throughout her marriages, examining how she navigated challenges and setbacks to ultimately find happiness and fulfillment. By analyzing her experiences through a feminist lens, this Story will highlight the agency and strength of women in navigating complex relationships and societal expectations. Overall, this Story aims to shed light on the complexities of women's experiences in marriage, highlighting how societal norms, personal trauma, and individual agency intersect to shape their lives. Through an exploration of this woman's story, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by women in relationships and celebrate their resilience in overcoming adversity. 9) The Colonial Legacies: In the rich tapestry of India's history, some threads weave together the complex narrative of colonialism, resistance, and the quest for independence. Among these threads are the profound impacts of the English language and Christian missionaries in India, the evolution of the Indian education system, and the insidious strategy of "Divide and Conquer." As we delve deeper into the layers of history, we uncover the legacy of the Three Colonial Gifts and their lasting influence on modern India. These gifts, though presented as benevolent gestures, carried with them a hidden agenda of control and exploitation. Amidst this backdrop of colonial rule and cultural upheaval. 10) The Exploitation of North India" In a land rich with history and culture, the people of North India have endured centuries of exploitation at the hands of invaders seeking to conquer and control their region. From the opulent rule of the Mughals to the cunning tactics of the British colonizers, the lands of North India have witnessed the plundering of resources, the imposition of heavy taxes, and the suppression of indigenous traditions. As the once prosperous land faced the heavy burden of foreign rule, families struggled to make ends meet, landowners were reduced to mere tenants, and the education system suffered under oppressive policies. Despite these hardships, a spirit of defiance and determination burned bright in the hearts of the people, as they sought to reclaim their financial independence, educational opportunities, and land rights. Through acts of resistance and solidarity, the people of North India began to rebuild their shattered communities and reclaim their rightful place in the land they called home. The legacy of exploitation may have left scars that ran deep, but it also forged a bond of unity and resilience among the people of North India, as they stood together in the face of adversity and worked towards a brighter future for themselves and generations to come. "Echoes of Resilience: The Exploitation of North India" tells the story of a region's enduring spirit in the face of adversity and the strength found in unity. 11) Rajan, the Temple Trader, whose journey from trader to survivor to revolutionary embodies the indomitable human spirit and the power of resilience in the face of adversity. Standing alongside his comrades in the fight for a future free from oppression, Rajan's story becomes intertwined with the larger narrative of India's struggle for independence – a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring quest for freedom. Join us on this exploration of history, as we unravel the complexities of India's past and witness the transformative power of individuals like Rajan, whose unwavering determination shapes the course of a nation's destiny.
I love you as if you are thousands of miles in the south, endless and distant. She held on to this love for 12 years, but in the end, she still couldn't help but to personally cut him off from her heart. It was for the life that she had never been born, for the twelve years she had wasted. She chose to forget.
The painful agony of the Evolutionist Myth by Marcel Toussaint Pdf
The author of this e-book is an engineer and physicist who specialized in space technologies. After a few years at the European Space Agency, he occupied for some 30 years the position of director of studies in a Paris-based industrial think tank. He is the father of ten children. After his retirement, he endeavored to obtain a degree in theology in an academic institution frequented by numerous seminarians and members of religious orders. He was appalled by what he discovered there. It has been said that in the Bible everything can be put in doubt with the exception of the footnotes. This is exactly what he found out. Where he had expected to receive an in-depth intellectual introduction to theological matters, he found himself subjected to a sort of brain washing aiming at replacing all what he had learned in his childhood and in a lifetime as a practicing catholic by the most futile modern fantasies and in particular by the imaginations of the theory of evolution. Evolution is for our time what Arianism was in the first centuries: the major heresy. It is even more than an heresy, an anti-theology which attributes to materialistic processes what used to be and should always be attributed to God's power and love. Nevertheless a large crowd of theologians, exegetes, professors and bishops adhere to this theory with an enthusiasm that they justify by claiming that science has proven its adequation to reality without any doubt. Evolution is more than a theory, they claim, this is the consensus of the scientists and it would be a sin against truth not to admit it. Refusing to accept that, the author decided to inquire about the scientific foundations of evolution. He quickly discovered that not only were such foundations most unconvincing, but that several of the most vocal defenders of the theory candidly admitted the patent absurdity of some of its constructs (Richard Lewontin) and that their aim was purely ideological or rather anti-religious. The results of his work were published in two books : “La terrible Responsabilité de l'exégèse moderne dans la crise de l'Église” (Edilivre, Paris, 2015) and “Modern Exegesis, the Theory of Evolution and the Decline of Catholicism in the West” (2016, Available on Amazon). The present e-book summarizes the scientific arguments opposing evolution with a special focus on the time line of the beginnings of mankind.
Marijuana As Medicine? by Institute of Medicine,Janet Joy,Alison Mack Pdf
Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.
The most common medical problem in America today, chronic pain is more prevalent than cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined. Yet tens of millions of people struggle with pain because they can't find someone who understands how much pain affects their lives--and because they live in a culture where pain is dismissed.

Drawing on his years of experience and the inspirational stories of others, he explores: - What a difference it makes to be heard - Why pain is much more than a symptom of disease - The benefits and risks of opioid prescriptions - How cultural attitudes toward pain affect us - The role of a caregiver in the journey of pain and recovery - How, even in the worst pain situations, you can have a fulfilling life The Painful Truth offers a path toward awareness, hope, and healing.

Definition of Pain and Distress and Reporting Requirements for Laboratory Animals by National Research Council,Institute for Laboratory Animal Research,Committee on Regulatory Issues in Animal Care and Use Pdf
In this first in a proposed series of workshops on regulatory issues in animal care and use, the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) has addressed the existing and proposed requirements for reporting pain and distress in laboratory animals. The Animal Welfare Act, administered by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), mandates that pain and distress in laboratory animals be minimized. USDA is considering two policy changes with regard to this specific mandate. Firstly, since there has been no functional definition of "distress," USDA has prepared such a definition and requested feedback from the scientific community on its usefulness for regulatory and reporting requirements. The second issue concerns the pain and distress categorization scheme for reporting to USDA. Various groups and individuals have questioned the efficacy of the current categories, and specific changes have been proposed by the Humane Society of the United States. USDA is considering these and other potential changes to the existing scheme. Thus, given these potential changes to animal welfare policy, the aim of the ILAR/NIH joint workshop was to provide feedback to the USDA. The speakers were asked to address these two issues as well as to comment upon whether the information contained in the 1992 ILAR report Recognition and Alleviation of Pain and Distress in Laboratory Animals is still useful to investigators in assisting them to comply with regulations. The speakers provided perspectives based on their individual expertise in the areas of science of pain and distress, animal welfare policy, protocol review, and/or as representatives of relevant organizations or institutions. The following proceedings are an edited transcript of their presentations.
