Trepanation according to Wikipedia.
Many thanks to Impacted Nurse for pointing out this article in New Scientist which talks about the use of trepanation (an illustration) as a potential cure for Alzheimer’s.
Deep breath, another deep breath…I guess there is merit in knowing what is going on in the world of science and medicine. Personally I like the standing on ones head cure. Painful, yet less invasive! But not for everybody.
and close examination
Over the week-end I’ll be off grid. That’s no postings, no email, no driving – just walking. And I’ll be crossing roads well under the 30 mph speed limit set for Toads!
I’ll be back on Monday; with photographs.
Rev. Berwyn was the celebrant (for the Healing Buddha Festival Ceremony). He gave the following dedication at the start of the ceremony:
Bhaisajyagaguru Tathagata, the master of healing, vows to be like a radiant jewel of lapis lazuli, illuminating the lives of all those in the darkness of suffering. What is this bright Jewel? Although it is most precious, we need never fear losing it. Although we cannot own it, there is nothing more intimate.
From the THBA website, new News section.
Yes, we now have a News section on the Throssel site. We are not sure how often it will be updated, however if you subscribe to the RSS feed you will know promptly when new material is posted.
The Calcutta-born artist (Ansuman Biswas) has been picked to spend 40 days and 40 nights in a tiny room at the top of Manchester Museum, looking over the city. Surrounding him will be 4.5 million artefacts, treasures the museum has collected over time.
The 43-year-old will contemplate things “lost” and the impact of extinction. Currently living in London, Mr Biswas will uproot his life to exist in the ivory tower from 27 June until 5 August.
His only communication with the outside world will be through his internet blog as he details what life is like in seclusion.
