Remembering Russell Means, E. Donnall Thomas – Video


Remembering Russell Means, E. Donnall Thomas
Few episodes in American history are as shameful as the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre, generally regarded as he last battle of the Indian wars. During the activist days of the 1970 #39;s, the American Indian Movement occupied Wounded Knee South Dakota for 71 days and the main spokesman for the group was Russell Means. Wounded Knee, both in 1890 and 1973, remains a milestone in our history books. E. Donnall Thomas was one of the great physicians of the 20th Century. Dr. Thomas developed the technique of bone marrow transplantation, which has saved thousands of patients internationally. He won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1990. Edward Donnall "Don" Thomas (March 15, 1920 -- October 20, 2012) was an American physician, professor emeritus at the University of Washington, and director emeritus of the clinical research division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. "In 1955, he was appointed physician in chief at the Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital, now Bassett Medical Center, in Cooperstown, NY, an affiliate of Columbia University." [1] In 1990 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Joseph E. Murray for the development of cell and organ transplantation. Thomas developed bone marrow transplantation as a treatment for leukemia. Thomas attended the University of Texas at Austin where he studied chemistry and chemical engineering, graduating with a BA in 1941 and an MA in 1943.

Just a short video showing you folks the 4 strains I ran today for a patient. They were Recon, Sour OG, Blackwater Kush and Chocolope. All organically grown material, and just a pleasure to work with. Returns ranged from 13% to 20%, with Blackwater being the highest. Every one of them can be identified solely by their aroma. As always, strain representation is paramount. These were all finished off in the desiccator, and what you #39;re seeing in the video is an end product, ready for dabbing.

Chinese traditional medicine

Posted on November 8, 2012, Thursday

GROWING up in Kuching as a boy, my first contact with medical treatment was of the herbal Chinese type. The services of Western medical science were expensive, and unaffordable in my youth, so Chinese medicine was the only medical care that we could have access to.

We never had enough money to see the handful of doctors in practice in Kuching, in those days. Of course, modern private medicine can also be hugely expensive today because of the burgeoning cost of healthcare, even though we now have many more doctors around us.

Now that I am grown up, and older, I suppose I have more faith in Western medicine. But I still retain a lingering love for Chinese medicine.

If you need some form of surgery, then it is clearly better that you consult a Western-trained doctor. But if you are plagued by one of many nameless, inexplicable and un-diagnosable ailments, then it may be better that you consult a traditional Chinese physician.

Just recently, I went down to see a friend, who is also a traditional Chinese medical practitioner. He is not cheap, but his medicines are always gentle.

By now, we all know about the weaknesses of Chinese medicine. It is poorly documented and may not yield results as quickly as Western medicine. But many of us have found it really works, in a gentle fashion, and seldom carries negative side effects.

Chinese medicine is based on its own particular cosmology. There is the usual balance between yin and yang, the polar opposites that rule our lives, based on their interplay.

The principles of traditional Chinese healing work according to a unique method, and can be understood mostly by people from the East. This art of healing is so ancient that its practitioners must have learned a tremendous empirical body of knowledge, through many centuries of trial and error.

Chinese medicines are made up of herbs, fruit, leaves, roots, bark and animal parts, mostly indigenous to China. They each have their own properties, and any student of the healing art will take many years to study the principles of Chinese medicine.

General Authorization to Export Medicine to Iran Has Pitfalls

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- On October 22, 2012 the United States Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") completely revised and reissued the foundation of the U.S. economic sanctions program prohibiting trade with Iran: the Iranian Transactions Regulations (ITR). One of the key changes that occurred as result of the revisions to the ITR, now re-named the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations (ITSR), is the issuance of a general license which authorizes the exportation and reexportation of medicine and basic medical supplies to Iran. Prior to this action, U.S. exporters of these products were required to secure a specific license from the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in order to trade with Iran. Notably, the new regulations also contain general authorization for a variety of payment and financing methods for these exports. However, while the ITSR now opens up a number of opportunities for U.S. medical companies, restrictions on certain products remain, which require the procurement of a specific license to export.

For example, some of the more notable medicines which fall under the exclusions to this authorization include: Xanax, Vicodin, OxyContin, Percocet, Wellbuterin, Dramamine, Wellbuterin, Advil PM, Benadryl, and Oral Steroid Painkillers. These medicines all fall under the several categories of medicine which are not covered by the general license. Those categories include Non-NSAID analgesics, anticholinergics, opiods, benzodiazepines, legal narcotics, and bioactive peptides. In order to export any of these items, U.S. companies must first obtain a specific license from OFAC.

OFAC also provides a list of basic medical supplies which fall under the general license. This list covers only the most rudimentary devices, such as bandages, tongue depressors, scalpels and other items which previously did not require an Official Commodity Classification of EAR99 from the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). For exporters of medical devices not contained in the list of basic medical supplies, a specific license and a BIS EAR99 classification are still required before any trade with Iran may be conducted.

Finally, while these new authorizations may seem like a boon for U.S. exporters and a god send for those in Iran who need such products, there is still great difficulty in finding U.S. banks to process payments for these exports. Since they can no longer rely on a specific license issued by OFAC, U.S. banks have to trust that the transactions for which they are requested to process payments are authorized under these new regulations. As such, the risk of processing a payment which may be in violation of the sanctions could be greater than ever. Therefore, compliance measures should be bolstered both by the exporters and the banking community to ensure all facets of the new authorizations are adhered to.

The ITSR is an exceptionally complex set of regulations and it is suggested that exporters seek out an attorney specializing in export and OFAC-related matters before going through with any transactions related to Iran.
