 Even if the medical fraternity ignores the past instances of violence, this prediction of increased violence in itself a public health issue.
As someone who manages a refugee grant for doctors and nurses caught up in conflict zones such as Syria seeking refuge and rehabilitation in the UK, I often hear stories of people living with a sense of perpetual doom, the fear of the impending knock on the door, or the sheer panic when a loved one is late by a few minutes.
Access to healthcare in conflict zones is heavily rationed towards treating maiming injuries. Refugee doctors in conflict zones tell me of the guilt they feel even when suggesting that they feel constantly anxious and live in a state of heightened alertness and consequent burnout. Children suffer in large numbers and immensely. They often develop odd behaviours – one parent told me how his three-year-old son rushed to hide beneath a bed every time an ambulance passed by, this went on till he was six. There are other children who wake up screaming with recurrent nightmares. The list is endless.
In my similar and first-hand experience in Gujarat during the 1994 riots, I was proud that my colleague doctors tended to the wounded in Surat, oblivious to the religion or politics of their patients. We were angry and frustrated at the human pain and destruction of the riot, and not towards those who wrote about it.
Being born in Srinagar and having lived there till the 1990s, and leaving Kashmir during the 1990s, I can identify with the ethnic Kashmiris, for whom, this is not anew distressing state to live in.
I personally remember my days as a faculty member in Kashmir University during the peak instability of the 1990s – every waking hour would be characterised by a gnawing pit in the stomach, with a wish that the political situation would get better. I was fortunate enough to be able to leave, but for those who could not, decades of political instability and militancy, besides physical violence, has understandably increased cases of psychiatric and mental health issues. These issues must have only aggravated under the current conditions of deliberate fear and isolation.
People living in long-term conflict areas suffer long-term health consequences. That is a fact does not change if a foreign journal or an Indian one points it out. If not advocacy, it deserves basic acknowledgement by the leading body of medical professionals in India. We should resist the temptation of letting our medical bodies become politically weaponised.
As doctors, our core business is humanity. Irrespective of political turmoil, war and riots, our duty to care applies to all – friends and enemies alike.

Rammstein confirmed for Download Festival 2013
September 25, 2012
Rammstein will make their Download Festival debut when they headline the third and final night of the event on Sunday 16 June next year.
The German outfit have been confirmed as third headliners, following the announcement that Iron Maiden will return to Donington on Friday 14 June to close the first day’s show and mark 25 years since they first appeared at Monsters of Rock.
Promoter Andy Copping seems to harbour no hard feelings after Till Lindemann and co added the event to their tour listings 24 hours earlier than the agreed announcement date. He tweets: “If you haven’t already sussed it, Rammstein are the second headliner. Thanks to our German friends for announcing 24 hours early!”
But the band are typically obscure with their reaction. Asked to comment on the news they say: “It’s only a festival – not a moon landing.”
Coppying adds: “We’re excited to welcome Rammstein to Donington for the very first time. They’re an epic live act and a perfect Sunday headliner to cap off what’s shaping up to be a fantastic festival.”
The headline act for the opening night, Friday, June 14, will be announced soon.

-Classic Rock Magazine A few weeks ago I was burning some tree stumps in my yard, there were a few times where they made some smoke but not a lot. I always took care of it if it was too much. It was also not a no burn day. Well my neighbor taped a note to my windshield that said "I dont know what your burning but please stop and left their number. I ripped it and threw it on the ground and continued  to burn my tree stumps and I had to burn more the next weekend. This is the same neighbor who leave his dogs out 24/7 and they frequently bark at 4 am, in the middle of the night, and we cant have a quiet dinner on our patio becuase the dogs always bark then. I have never called the police on them or filed a complaint. A few times I kept a log becuase it got bad but never called becuase it would die down for a month and then start back up. I feel if they have no right to be upset or complain about something I did that only impacted them for a few hours when they are disrespectful with allowing their dogs to bark and disturb everyone for years. AITA for continuing to burn I needed to do it and I dont feel like they have a right to   be annoyed with what I did when they are disrespectful to everyone elses peace amd quiet?

Note:they know the dogs bother people, my boyfriend went out late one night and screamed at them to shut up when their dogs were barking they were quiet for a month after that. Their dogs live in an outdoor pen 24/7 even in the south west summer heat. Yes, I have checked the pen has a roof and there for is meeting city codes and the dogs will not get taken from them. Personally I wonder why they even have the dogs.You may not have set out to buy these Target gems for yourself or someone else, but you'll be glad you did.

Impulse purchasing is part of Target's whole vibe. I need paper plates? Why not also buy a throw blanket? Popping in for a bottle of wine? Don't forget the giant dance-on piano. Buying clothes? I also need food. Buying food? I suddenly also need clothes. And so it goes.

The Etch A Sketch has been given a 21st-century makeover and now produces rainbow-colored lines and uses a stylus. (This two-in-one works like a pen and a "paintbrush.") It's a lot less frustrating than the original's two white knobs.
