London Bridge Attack

 

At 10 p.m. on Saturday June 4th, police in London heard reports of a van hitting several people on London Bridge. The van then drove towards a market, where the terrorists left the vehicle and started stabbing people. Eight minutes after the attack began, policemen shot the suspects dead. The suspects were wearing what looked like explosive vests, but these were later established to be hoaxes.

 

Seven people died in the attacks and many more were injured. Theresa May, Britain’s Prime Minister, later reacted to the attack saying that enough was enough and that taking on extremism and terrorism needed to change. On Sunday morning, police raided flats in East London and arrested 12 people.

 

On Monday, people of all faiths came together in a vigil to honor victims of the London Bridge attack. Senior police officers and politicians laid flowers and paid their respects. London mayor Sadiq Khan led the vigil in defiance that London will never be broken by terrorism because unity and love for one another are always stronger than the hate of the extremists. He added that the attackers’ perverse ideology had nothing to do with the true values of Islam.

 

One attendee described how affected she was by the attack, as the people were not of a mere statistic. They were people who used to walk just like her.

Looking for Alaska by John Green

 

Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then ...

After. Nothing is ever the same.

Angelina Jolie on Refugees

 

In the last nine years, I have made many visits to the field with UNHCR (United Nations High Comissioner for Refugees). I do it to raise awareness for the plight of refugees, but I also do it for me. The refugees I have met and spent time with have profoundly changed my life. The eight-year-old girl who saved her brother taught me what it is to be brave. The pregnant woman in Pakistan taught me what it is to be a mother. And the paralyzed boy, who'd been shot in the back, with his big smile, showed me the strength of an unbreakable spirit. So today, on World Refugee Day, I thank them for letting me into their lives. And I thank you for coming. (Angelina Jolie)

Are most patients with fibromyalgia misdiagnosed?

 

Recent studies have suggested that most people who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia by physicians may not actually have the condition. A new Arthritis Care & Research study found that overall agreement between clinicians' diagnosis of fibromyalgia and diagnosis by published criteria is only fair.

In an accompanying editorial Dr. Don Goldenberg, of Oregon Health & Science University, noted that to conclude that expert physicians often misdiagnose fibromyalgia implies that published criteria are superior to expert clinical judgement for the diagnosis of individual patients. He stressed that this fails to account for many of the variables present in clinical encounters, including time spent in evaluating and categorizing each patient's multiple symptoms. "The diagnostic gold standard for fibromyalgia will continue to be the rheumatologist's expert opinion, not classification criteria, no matter how well-refined and intentioned," he wrote. "This is the only way to capture the variability and severity of inter-related symptoms as they play out over time."
