# Traditional Tibetan medicine

Traditional Tibetan medicine (Tibetan: བོད་ཀྱི་གསོ་བ་རིག་པ་, Wylie: bod kyi gso ba rig pa), also known as Sowa-Rigpa medicine, is a centuries-old traditional medical system that employs a complex approach to diagnosis, incorporating techniques such as pulse analysis and urinalysis, and utilizes behavior and dietary modification, medicines composed of natural materials (e.g., herbs and minerals) and physical therapies (e.g. Tibetan acupuncture, moxibustion, etc.) to treat illness.

## Quotes

* The Dalai Lama expressed this about Tibetan medicine: "It is an extremely coherent system, which has provided many services to Tibetans over the last ten centuries and which, I believe, can provide benefits to all humanity today. However, a different mental approach is required to be treated and cured by Tibetan medicine. »
** Dalai Lama, quoted from François Gautier - Les mots du dernier Dalaï-lama (2018, Flammarion)
* For Claude Arpi, Tibet specialist: “Tibetan medicine took off in the 7th and 8th centuries, when kings began to sponsor the first lines of doctors. At that time, many of the best-known doctors from neighboring countries were invited to Tibet to share their knowledge with their Tibetan colleagues. The contribution of Indian Ayurvedic medicine, in particular, has been decisive. »The father of Tibetan medicine was Yuthog Tonten Gonpo, and he concocted a system that synthesized medical science and Buddhist spirituality. “It is,” explains Claude Arpi, “a science that seeks to prevent disease through a holistic approach, in which the patient is considered as a human being who must be taken care of rather than as a malfunctioning organ. It seeks to restore and maintain the dynamic balance between mind and body, primarily through diet and lifestyle and the use of herbs and other complementary therapies. »

# Tracy Chevalier

Tracy Rose Chevalier (born October 19, 1962) is an American-British historical novelist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

## Quotes

* I have huge respect for short stories—I just find them much harder to get right than a novel. A novel is a lot baggier and it gives you more leeway to go on for too long or to make mistakes. Whereas in a short story, every sentence, every word, matters—and that’s very hard. I think it’s easier to write too much than it is to write exactly the right thing.
** On how she compares short story writing to novel writing in “An Interview with Tracy Chevalier” in Fiction Writers Review (2019 Sep 23)
* Usually, I take great pleasure in finding a notebook that’s going to match the subject matter. And this time, for some reason, I was in a hurry. I hadn’t found the right one, I had started my research, and I couldn’t wait for the perfect notebook. So, I just grabbed one that I had. It’s the first time though, and it felt a little sad.
** On choosing a notebook for each novel that she writes in “An Interview with Tracy Chevalier” in Fiction Writers Review (2019 Sep 23)
* I live with them for a long time in my head. When I first start writing about a character, I don’t know them that well. It’s through the process of writing of putting them in scenes, and contemplating them—when I’ve spent more time with them—that they take on more flesh. When I start writing, I have a lot of characters that I’m not sure what their place in the novel will be…And some characters recede as I put more flesh on them. I think I don’t really need them; they’re not giving me anything. Or they’re there for a particular effect, and that’s it.
** On how she formulates her characters in “An Interview with Tracy Chevalier” in Fiction Writers Review (2019 Sep 23)
* Dialogue is always tricky. Authenticity is almost impossible, and you always end up sounding too olde worlde. What I do is to strip the words back, so I get the dialogue to sound timeless…
** On how she composes character dialogue in “Tracy Chevalier: 'Slavery has to be raised until it's put to bed'” in The Guardian (2013 Mar 16)
* There are times when I'm hoping the reader will feel slightly sympathetic. She's in a marriage she should never have made and she's kind of stuck in this swamp. And she is, yes, self-centered and a terrible mother; but she also is misunderstood, I think, at times, and frustrated...

# Trade-off

A trade-off (or tradeoff) is a situation that involves losing one quality or aspect of something in return for gaining another quality or aspect.

## Quotes

* Recognizing that people face trade-offs does not by itself tell us what decisions they will or should make. A student should not abandon the study of psychology just because doing so would increase the time available for the study of economics. Society should not stop protecting the environment just because environmental regulations reduce our material standard of living. The poor should not be ignored just because helping them distorts work incentives. Nonetheless, people are likely to make good decisions only if they understand the options they have available. Our study of economics, therefore, starts by acknowledging life’s trade-offs.
** N. Gregory Mankiw, Principle of Economics (6th ed., 2012), Ch. 1. Ten Principles of Economics
# Veterinarian

Along with this, Vets also play vital role in animal reproduction, animal health management emphasizing on animal reproductive health, conservation, breeding and preventive medicine like animal nutrition, bio security.

## Quotes

* The harder farmers push animals beyond their natural limit, and the more closely animals are confined, often the greater the risk of disease and the heavier the reliance on vets to keep herds alive. Their weapon of choice is antibiotics. According to Dil Peeling, who qualified as a vet in the UK but spent much of his career working in developing countries: "A vet's worth is now measured by his or her ability to deliver on production and animal health – not welfare. It is difficult to persuade vets who have invested so much of their careers in propping up intensive farming to turn their back on such systems."
** Philip Lymbery, Farmageddon (2014)
* I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say "it was god's will" when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.
** Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett usenet
* Due to the deficient levels of lactase, milk ingestion can lead to GI upset including diarrhea and vomiting. Additionally, whole fat milk or other dairy products may contain too much fat and can also lead to diarrhea and vomiting too.

## Dialogue

    [Sylvia and Nick are kissing]
    Nick: You know, I'm curious. When did you decide you liked me?
    Sylvia: Oh... I guess when you tried to save my life. I... I appreciated that. I thought back then, He's really nice. I thought, If there was ever anything I could do for him, I will.
    Nick: What do you mean?
    Sylvia: What do you mean?
    Nick: Do for me? What, like now?
    Sylvia: What's happening here? A minute ago you were ready to disappear down my throat.
    Nick: I don't know. This is, uh, starting to sound a little like... charity.
    Sylvia: I must have said the wrong words. I admit, I'm not that smart. I'm not a museum person.
    Nick: Well, you know, the way it's coming out, you're looking for a little action, there's nobody here but me and Harry, and I won. But not by much.
    Sylvia: Okay... [adopts a sarcastic tone] I want you bad, alright? I dream about you and me and a house in Long Island. I'm only half a woman 'til I make love to you. [reverts to normal voice] Are you happy now?
    Nick: Must we spoil what's been a depraved and embarrassing evening? [Sylvia gasps] No, no, no. Please, not another word. This is just the way I want to forget you.
    Sylvia: Screw you!
    Nick: No, thanks!
    Sylvia: Boy, Nick, you really know how to show a girl a good time.
    Harry: [enters the tent, hair set with pins and in a hairnet] Hey, I forgot to ask you. Can I sleep on this?
    Sylvia: Who gives a shit? [leaves the tent]
    Harry: What's the matter with her?
    Nick: I wouldn't sleep with her!
    Harry: Really? [grins] Sylvia!
# Veterans For Peace

Veterans for Peace is an international organization with over 120 chapters across the United States and abroad, made up of military veterans and non-veterans dedicated to building a culture of peace, exposing the true costs of war, and healing the wounds of war.

## Quotes

* Veterans For Peace is outraged at the unfolding coup d’etat in Venezuela, which is clearly being orchestrated by the U.S. government. Two hundred years of blatant U.S. intervention in Latin America must come to an end... Years of increasingly crippling U.S. sanctions have succeeded in destabilizing the Venezuelan economy and created great unrest, division and migration. The U.S. government encouraged Venezuelan opposition parties to boycott last year’s election. Now they are calling the election fraudulent, and attempting to install a little-known politician more to their liking. This is part of a dangerous game that the U.S. continues to play throughout Latin America.
* President Trump’s National Security Advisor John Bolton has called Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba the “Troika of Tyranny,” and boasted that they have now “met their match.” Right-wing Cuban American Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, said to be deeply involved in orchestrating this coup, has implied that U.S. military intervention may be next.
* In our Statement of Purpose, Veterans For Peace promises to “restrain our governments from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations.” We call on our members in over 100 U.S. cities and internationally, to make their voices heard. We must do all we can to prevent a bloody civil war from taking a huge toll on the Venezuelan people, and the peace-loving people of the hemisphere.
** Veterans Call to Resist U.S. Coup in Venezuela, Veterans for Peace (28 Jan 2019)
* Veterans For Peace is pleased to hear that President Trump has ordered a total withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria, where they had no legal right to be in the first place. Whatever the reasoning, withdrawing U.S. troops is the right thing to do. It is incorrect to characterize the U.S. military intervention in Syria as “fighting terrorism,” as much of the media is doing...
* Veterans For Peace knows that the U.S. is a nation addicted to war. At this time of uncertainty, it is critically important that we, as veterans, continue to be clear and concise that our nation must turn from war to diplomacy and peace. It is high time to unwind all these tragic, failed and unnecessary wars of aggression, domination and plunder. It is time to turn a page in history and to build a new world based on human rights, equality and mutual respect for all. We must build momentum toward real and lasting peace. Nothing less than the survival of human civilization is at stake.

# Vestal Virgin

In ancient Rome, the Vestals or Vestal Virgins (Latin: Vestālēs, singular Vestālis) were priestesses of Vesta, goddess of the hearth. These individuals cultivated the sacred fire that was not allowed to go out. Vestals were freed of the usual social obligations to marry and bear children and took a 30-year vow of chastity in order to devote themselves to the study and correct observance of state rituals forbidden to the colleges of male priests.

# Vesta (mythology)

Vesta is the virgin goddess of the hearth, home, and family in Roman religion. She was often represented by the fire of her temple in the Forum Romanum. Entry to her temple was permitted only to her priestesses, the Vestal Virgins. Vesta was considered a guardian of the Roman people, her festival, the Vestalia (7–15 June), was regarded as one of the most important Roman holidays. Following the rise of Christianity, hers was one of the last non-Christian cults still active, until it was forcibly disbanded by the Christian emperor Theodosius I in AD 391. Vesta was among the Dii Consentes, twelve of the most honored gods in the Roman pantheon.

## Quotes

* O Christ of God! whose life and death Our own have reconciled, Most quietly, most tenderly Take home thy star-named child!Thy grace is in her patient eyes, Thy words are on her tongue; The very silence round her seems As if the angels sung.Her smile is as a listening child’s Who hears its mother’s call; The lilies of Thy perfect peace About her pillow fall.She leans from out our clinging arms To rest herself in Thine; Alone to Thee, dear Lord, can we Our well-beloved resign.O, less for her than for ourselves We bow our heads and pray; Her setting star, like Bethlehem’s, To Thee shall point the way!
** John Greenleaf Whittier, "Vesta" in Hazel-Blossoms (1875), p. 91
