Hypothyroidism And Red Spots



A DAD LIKE NO OTHER.

Always in my current nostalgia Londoner, I thought the artist Grayson Perry . Strangely, I do not know why I've never talked to him, because this one could not be more mind "Gazette of bad taste." Grayson is an artist who makes ceramic, with graphics that speak of sadomasochism, pedophilia, his difficult childhood, the marriage of his own person with his teddy bear and healthy stuff like that. This one has won the Turner Prize in 2003.

But frankly, I'm not a big fan of his art, but rather on how they dress. To me, this is where lies his true particularity. Note that a married man and Grayson
(a psychologist. That's interesting ...) , and has one child. Even with the banding, the latter continues to dress as a girl. Grayson divides his time between Grayson, himself and his alter-ego female named Claire, he takes care to become from time to time. He joined the trend of infantilism fetish, of Adult-Baby / Diaper Lovers , except that it raises its fetishism to an art. For this one, does not that cheap pink pajamas and diapers for incontinent grandpa.

Instead, Grayson is often at the forefront of the parades of Central St Martins and London College of Fashion is a supporter of new talent, and her little girl's wardrobe is made as single pieces. To have already crossed, that
"He looks incredible" , is really not too much. His look of little girl is really sophisticated, and at each exit, he wears a different outfit. Either, but one question bothers me: but that's what, to have a dad like that? Dora.

Is It Possible To Conceive While Pregnant

A PhD that's not enough ...

Study, it is not just learning things. It is also to build reflection. And sometimes the character. Except that sometimes it is not enough. And sometimes, in fairness, the circumstances make outset the project more difficult than others . An example this week: the doctoral thesis of Saif al-Islam Muammar al-Gaddafi.

A reading on the sidelines of events in the Middle East very different from the last , this. And here we do not know whether to laugh or cry. Saif is one that alternates last week with his father on our small screens, and promises death to opponents of the regime . But Saif is also the author of a PhD in philosophy from the London School of Economics dated 2008 and titled "The role of civil society in the democratization of international governance institutions" .

Excerpt (p 236, my emphasis, my translation, and posthumous apology to Rawls he quotes extensively and that my translation flays fast in places):

"By contrast, an unjust society, or 'off- the Law is recognized that it "refuses to recognize a reasonable law of peoples ... [and] claims of the totalitarian doctrines that do not recognize geographical limits to the legitimate authority of their religious institutions ... or their philosophical positions. " Examples would be companies that are aggressive toward other companies or that violate fundamental human rights of those who would serve in . In this case, Rawls grants that intervention may be justified: 'The people ordained can exert pressure on regimes living outside the law to induce them to change their practices, but alone, this pressure is unlikely to succeed . It must be supported by a refusal resolved all military aid and any assistance be it economic or otherwise; states outlaw should not be accepted by the people ordained as respectable members of their practice of cooperation based on mutual benefit '. (...)
In rejecting the idea that the state law-breakers should be allowed to continue without being arrested, this thesis agrees with Rawls . "


Obviously, the contrast with its current positions is striking. This is not funny, of course. And yes, it is understandable that his former teachers have focused on the opportunity to introduce a little reason in Libya, although it is obviously very embarrassing for them that has so badly . And also embarrassing there is also a history of sub , they have meanwhile returned. And certainly students who demonstrated for their university sever all links with the Libyan regime did well. And ok, there are also accusations of plagiarism , yet (to my knowledge) not confirmed by the LSE.

No, it's not funny. But frankly, a son Gaddafi defended the idea that a state law-breakers should be stopped by the international community? He did not say so ...

Steps For Masterbathing

cerebral cortex is a

A llez, while I admit I had never heard of this rapper until yesterday. In general, I do not taste much this kind of variety - I can hardly speak of "music" in this case - for the simple reason that I do not understand a single word most often . Not that the texts are too difficult, but simply because the noise in the background and the mince words jerky does not really lend to a hearing attentive and quality. That said, this is not always the case and I like some songs from MC Solaar or Kamini ...

So up until yesterday I did not know the existence of Cortex. A cerebral type no doubt under the title of his latest album: Twisted and words it conveys: "I not support a gay mayor of Paris is . Nothing surprising there, we know all the hate that car bad rap. Homophobia is often part of the goodwill of these people. We remember the scandals around Sexion Assault Eminem in France or the United States.

So there are violent insults against people because of their sexual orientation and then vague apology. Some are satisfied or pretend to be satisfied. And we start over. These or others, but it is always the same hate, a similar inability to accept diversity in the world.

The justification of Cortex is admirable: "I'm not homophobic of everything you saw, it's just when I say that phrase in my album is heuuuuuuuu is because after I'm an artist ... "It speaks as he sings, we must cling to understand! But it still has that in his eyes being "artist" allows you to insult everyone. The proof is not homophobic is specified at the end of the transmission: " Bertrand Delanoe, I have nothing against you. "

What seems unlikely is that large banners" cultural "broadcast such discs. One might say "agitator of ideas" should be able to recognize when agitation does not convey more ideas in the sense of "thoughts" but only hatred annealed. That the diodes are agitated on the console to the rhythms of noise from the speakers must not allow ourselves to ignore completely the EEG is flat!

... I do not like the mess! Meanwhile

O n Auvergnats said they are cheap, as it is a reproach to Picards identical. This refers to a well-known fable by Jean de La Fontaine: "Some fox Gascon, others say Norman ... I hardly know what it is the Picards and I want to believe that criticism is no longer based in their case than in another. I have a dazzling passage in their country that the memory of a "string" very delicious by the way ...

Regarding the Auvergne, I certify that they are no more greedy than anyone else . Without doubt they are efficient and they look closely at the expense, but there is point of stinginess in all this. Put simply, the land of Auvergne is not one of the easiest to grow. Rocky and steep, all that the farmer derives demand work and sweat. We know the value of things here, we know that the crust is hard to win and that the mess is a luxury that can not afford.

I remember myself suspended in a combine with a few men from the village to prevent it from overturning in the slope of a plot difficult. I also remember a field in the middle of which stood a plate of rock it took dynamite to try to gain some grassland acreage ... Nothing to cry, but we can not judge people without knowing the context!

course, if a Parisian bobo demands "truffles" in the Cantal, it may be disappointed at the flat basic potato that he will. It is far from the "truffle" referred phonetically. Just know that in the Occitan "Trufa" is the tuber Discount Parmentier ... I happened to have a comparative discussion on black pudding Auvergne and that found for example in the pediment. That of my village contains only blood and onions, one that sewed the back-grandparents of my children contains pieces of meat. It's just that my home every part of the pig had a specific destination and was expected to hold as long as possible in the year prior to slaughter the Next beast ...

I thought about all this yesterday after opening the refrigerator of a friend. There was in it a quantity of damaged or expired food. I do not understand that we can and let them spoil the food. Cook, I learned the art of preparing the remains and make dishes as delicious as presentable. Is this a sign of stinginess on my part? Instead, we should see in the behavior of my friend a sign of great extravagance? The money he has it so easy to win as he makes little of the food it Buying?

Basically, this thinking goes further than it seems. It is not only the result of a one-time annoyance but a more political thought. We are all victims of the system of consumption in which we operate from a very young age. We do more repair, we recycle more, we buy and chips with a vengeance. "We" in the broad sense, but with some limits, however: there are those who can not afford for this mess because they did not afford the essential and vital .

Although course, divest itself will not give them more resources. Of course not finishing our soup or eat it all the way does not affect the rice ration of the "little Chinese" which our parents we are knocking the ears on the evenings when we boudions table. I know all that, but I say it's a matter of respect. Not only respect for others. Since we live in selfishness, we should understand that it is about respect for ourselves.

I took in fridge that was still edible and I shared with my dog. The rest, I threw it because there was nothing else to do. There was the value of three meals ... It made me sick at heart as much to throw it if I had eaten.

We will shrug, say yes I am a cheapskate Auvergne. Perhaps it is this true? For my part, I'm just saying that I do not like the mess. It's about values, about money!

emancipatory force ideas

Gene Sharp, you know? He is someone who is worth to be read alongside the events of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, in short of all countries that are on this list .

So who is Gene Sharp? At first glance, not a very dangerous kind. 83 years, an intellectual life that journalists will photograph among his books. But because there is a but, it turns out he writes guides for non-violent revolution, which have been translated into 24 languages and distributed free on the internet. Oh yes, and then trainers International Center for Nonviolent Action were found like that just by chance in Cairo few years ago, they handed its documentation for those interested . Yes, there must have ...

Interviewed recently by the New York Times it is perfectly clear: it analysis and writing, but does not initiate movements that could learn from his methods . His writings also, incidentally, were perfectly clear. It's worth a look. The French version of the most famous, called "From Dictatorship to Democracy" is here . Some excerpts:

"harsh realities must be considered before it submit to foreign intervention:
• Frequently, foreign powers and even tolerate a dictatorship support to advance their own economic and political interest.
• Some people will even betray the oppressed people instead of keeping their promise to help her release it to pursue another goal.
• Other act against dictatorship in order to control the country at the economic, political or military.

• The foreign powers are involved sometimes in positive for the oppressed people, but only if the inward movement of resistance has already shaken the dictatorship as to attract international attention to the brutal nature of the regime. "


Also:

" The conclusion is hard to accept. To overthrow a dictatorship and cost-effectively, it is imperative to work with four tasks:
• Strengthen the determination of the oppressed people and his confidence in itself and improve its skills to resist

• Fortify independent social groups and institutions structuring the oppressed people;

• Create a powerful internal resistance force;

• Develop a comprehensive strategic plan and the judicious release implement competently.

(...)
When dictatorship is facing a strong force, sure of herself, with a clever strategy, with actions disciplined, courageous and really powerful, it will eventually s 'collapse. But at least the four conditions listed above will be met.
(...)

Machiavelli said [already] that the prince "who ... to the set of its population as an enemy will never be safe ; the greater his cruelty, his regime becomes weaker."

Yes, it is understandable that some people find it dangerous ...

Finally, of course, the last chapter is entitled "The foundations of sustainable democracy." Without doubt the most difficult, that. And lots of people love it here, because there speaking Switzerland. Go read it and then tell us what you think ...

What Does Abortion Papers Look Like

Giaco

E No parallel Jean Genet, liar sublime , Tahar Ben Jelloun gives us a piece theater in which it completes the portrait of his friend.

Beckett and Genet in Tangier tea is a very personal, very interesting but seems to appeal more to an audience of connoisseurs of the work and life of Genet. The echoes of the memory book in the room are standing. It is also no coincidence that one of the characters is called Mohamed, speaking for the author to engage a minimum in the account he gives us the improbable, too poetic to be true, between a Beckett overseeing recovery in Arabic of his famous play and Genet awaiting the arrival of a Giacometti already for years.

Beyond the recall of the main traits of Genet, its fads and positions, the piece involves a theoretical debate, a dispute over the scene between the two authors.

Since this is the dream, take this as a comedy fairytale happy and be carried away by the atmosphere as much as the characters. One senses in the writing of Tahar Ben Jelloun all the affection he has for his characters and a desire to bring this meeting that ideal has not taken place and which we know would not have dared to propose Genet's lifetime, the latter being more of a friendship that complex.

Postscript

Remember the use of doctors in the case of Bernard Rappaz? If you are in Switzerland, you know the facts. If this is not the case, you will find a summary here , and several previous comments here , here, here, and here . Following the order they had been given to force-feed their patients, physicians responsible for the clinical management of Bernard Rappaz had refused to comply, and appealed to the Federal Court. He has now ruled that it does not decide ....

The full stop is in the case of TF, and is found easily by typing 6B _1011/2010 here . The Bottom Line:

"The order given to the Geneva doctor to perform a forced feeding of Bernard Rappaz lapsed since the prisoner began to eat. As the probability that a case similar to this is" very low ", the High Court considers that it can dispense with making a decision.

She admits that the question asked by the doctor who challenged the legality of the order had been given by Councillor of Valais state-Kalbermatten Esther Waeber, presents "significant public interest." If a such a case should arise again, there is no indication that the doctor concerned could not use in time, said the High Court. "


We will not have time for this decision trench between the two readings their earlier decisions that were (and remain) on the table. They can be summarized, somewhat hastily, as follows: 1) forced nutrition can be used as a last resort to save the life of a prisoner capable of understanding because it is possible to practice with dignity and in the rules of medical art, and a doctor's approval is not necessary, 2) nutrition can not be forced used even as a last resort to save the life of a prisoner capable of discernment, because it can be practiced in a dignified manner and not in accordance with the rules of medical art, or at least a doctor's approval that it is a situation where it would be possible is necessary.

The Federal Court but of course, correct: it is highly unlikely that another similar case occurs. Fortunately. And it is now closed.

A child to save another

Remember the discussions if there are 15 days on the 'drug baby' ? Well, 15 days is not that long. But I must say that my first reaction (and that of some colleagues who recognize) has been found that the media sometimes have short memories. Because this story of the first 'double hope baby' born in France ought to remind us there is something not so distant. In 2007, the story of Noah and Elodie One was the home.

Despite the rather scathing humor that these cases raise , these are serious issues. They involve parents whose child needs a bone marrow transplant, which indications are usually serious diseases. If there is no donor related, and that the chances of getting a gift on international lists is too remote, these parents sometimes resort to ... an increase of relatives. In other words, they have another child. This possibility is open to them with or without assistance, it is after all their rights. But how do you know if this child will be compatible as a donor? Or even if it will also have the disease that strikes its big brother or big sister? Preimplantation genetic diagnosis, genetic testing performed on a cell from an embryo conceived by in vitro fertilization , helps answer the first question, and in some cases the second. It is then technically possible n'implanter an embryo both healthy and compatible.

This small gesture, which still requires a medically assisted procreation, raises a host of controversies . In Switzerland, it is not: parents who want to use it must go abroad. And when the preimplantation diagnosis included the selection of an embryo to allow a donation of cord blood (or sometimes bone marrow) in siblings, we feel the tension rising. The argument is then the opposite is usually that of the instrumentalization : ban the use of a human being only as a means and not as an end in itself ', so as a being with an intrinsic value regardless of its usefulness to others.

The problem is that the problem of exploitation is not the person be useful to others. Is to limit its importance to that. It is therefore critical to acknowledge those families unable to consider this child as a kind of reservoir tissues, being unable to love as they would a child conceived otherwise. Seriously as charge it. And not very realistic. When the question is explicitly placed on the table, there is also interesting to contortions to avoid this conclusion. The National Committee of Ethics, which published two position papers on pre-implantation diagnosis, which was divided during the second , which has carefully avoided making that charge, provides an example of the contortions in this passage:

"The committee members who oppose the legalization of PGD for tissue typing in Switzerland based themselves on purely ethical-social and do not call them either into question the decision of individual parents. "

Strange ethics review, which considers ethically objectionable practice which actors are also considered perfectly honorable ... Alex Mauron commented on some time ago during a debate on the radio that you find here . This is probably a reflection of our discomfort. Because everything around us, in situations that medical technology does not, the examples are legion: we have a second child to complete the family, to give a companion to the first, to comply with a social ideal for not later regret not having been, for ... for ... for ... a whole series of things. And it is estimated that all these choices are ... perfectly honorable. Required a bit, sometimes, even. A friend told me there are some time she 'did not know that having a first child she signed a contract with the company to have a second'.

What technology is changing that? A number of things, no doubt. But not the question of instrumentalization. And is it really, at base, more problematic for a second child to save the life of the first? Until the problem is attached to this , we must admit that the argument is rather weak ...

assisted suicide: the most difficult cases

is one of the advantages of a country where the debate on ending life has fewer taboos: Switzerland does remains a very long time without ever wonder about the implications of the chosen death. And issues that periodically returns on the mat is one of the reasons the choice to die. Should it be the end of life? Should we even suffer from a disease? Is it enough to simply ask to die, whatever our reason for death by drugs? Is it enough to be 'tired of living'?

In Switzerland assisted suicide is legal (Art. 115 Swiss Penal Code) provided that three conditions are met. person who wants to die to make itself the fatal act, and must be capable of discernment. The person who agrees to attend should not have selfish motives. And that's all. Very few requirements, so.

In practice, however, more criteria are applied. It is therefore disturbing story on this Dignitas released last week. It is filmed suicide Michèle Causse, a French eloquent, intelligent, lively, not dying, and who declares that his life is losing its shape '. The doctor who gave him the green light, and reflecting in anonymity on the assumption that patient choice will prevail. Is it enough? Another case raised questions at this time but close (ie important) a little different. André Rieder, a Swiss patient suffering from manic-depressive, and who has resorted to the EXIT for assisted suicide . Should we have access to assisted suicide while a patient suffers from a psychiatric illness?

These two types of cases, motivated by a 'tired of living' or a mental illness are very different. Among the requests for assisted suicide, they are among the most difficult cases. To clarify the issues raised here, three scores are required.

First, acceptance of assisted suicide is legal where it is generally on co-existence of two dimensions: an authentic choice, but also the presence of incurable suffering. Something that resembles a disease is indeed required, at least by the opinion . In Switzerland, it is not required by law but guidelines of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences , linking physicians and other caregivers state that the person must be sick and dying. And most aid organizations also require the suicide.

Second, even if it requires both a free and unbearable suffering, we must still define these terms. And it turns out that both can confusing. One can for example think that a person suffering from mental illness can not make a free choice. His desire to die will result pathological of his illness. This is often true. But not always. The National Commission on Ethics has seen it. In a position on assisted suicide, it stated two things complementary :

'suicide attempters suffer from mental illness, combined or not with somatic diseases, need first of psychiatric treatment and psychotherapy. If the desire for suicide is an expression or a symptom of mental illness, there can be no question of assisted suicide. "

(...)

'For an exception to this rule, it is necessary but not sufficient, as the emergence of desire suicide neither derives from an expression or symptom of a mental illness, but occurs, for example, during an interval free of symptoms of a chronic development so far. "


The key point is that there are cases where a person with mental illness will meet the same criteria a person suffering from another disease. Severe suffering, and free choice that is not an expression of mental illness. These cases are difficult to identify. But this does not mean it's always' disease who spoke when someone with a mental illness and discerning wants to die. And when the choice meets the same criteria as that of another person, do not treat them the same way is discriminatory. A Federal Court's decision in this direction was recently .

The third point is the controversy surrounding assisted suicide in cases of chronic pain, when the person is not terminally ill. This is often referred to 'Fatigue life', and it is understandable that assisted suicide in such cases gives rise to controversy. Especially since often seems Dignitas 'play limits', for example around situations assisted suicide couples which only one person is sick . Despite the visibility of such cases, it should however be remembered that most assisted suicide beyond the end of life involve people indeed sick, except that their disease, chronic and incurable indeed, does not life threatening right now. Rather than 'fatigue life', we should rather speak of 'fatigue suffer' ... Both types of cases raise one and the other difficult issues. But they are different

A minefield, so. Handle with extreme caution.

... ... The fine principles

L e preamble of our constitution states in Article One: " France is an indivisible, secular, democratic and social. It ensures equality before the law for all citizens without distinction of origin, race or religion. It respects all beliefs. Its organization is decentralized. "This great principle, and three-word abstract on the pediment of our town halls, a flashy slogan:" Liberty - Equality - Fraternity ".

What a beautiful country than ours, if all these fine principles were generating effects! Of course, we all enjoy a certain freedom, and even a certain freedom from many countries. Then it goes bad very quickly ... Equality is a façade - it is the case to say - and do not withstand scrutiny. As for the fraternity, many decades ago that the French have forgotten the meaning of that word. Each defending its turf, watching his living as much as his flowerbeds.

I wonder a lot about this equality proclaimed. Oh! it does not come back once again on the issue of gay marriage and adoption by same-sex ... though! No. Just look at the little hassles of everyday life to show how this equality is a constitutional dead letter.

A perfect example is the charging station. Obstacle course, nobody knows over what is the real price of a train ticket as the pricing is done at the customer's head. We are not masters or our age, nor often the time and date to which we must move, or are there criteria that promote a clear reduction of the population at the expense of another. Is this normal? It is in any case neither egalitarian nor fraternal ...

The issue is not political, it is marketing. I grant you. What we have here demonstrated that marketing always takes precedence over the great republican principles. The law of the market before the Constitutional Law, in short.
