From the Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, a centre to which drug-resistant epilepsy cases from all over the country are referred, Dr. Aisel and her team take on a greater challenge: to seek therapeutic alternatives where medications are not enough. This involves a comprehensive and multidisciplinary evaluation that integrates studies such as prolonged video electroencephalogram, structural and functional neuroimaging techniques, psychiatry, and group discussion.
Oddly, Audible, despite hosting some fairly right-wing and far-right tomes – to its credit – it also hosts Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, and Che Guevara (amongst others). Yes – some are bourgeois aberrations – but others are straight from the original ideological source material and convey clear Socialist and Communist thinking. So far – so good. Recently, whilst carrying-out my academic work of translating ancient Chinese texts into English – I play audio-books in the background – so I can continue to “learn” whilst working. This is how, over the last three-months, I made an effort to study the Cuban Revolutionary experience. This came about after I had a conversation (a few years ago) with a Spanish man now living in Sutton – who surprised me when he said he had no interest in China or the USSR – but rather the Central and South American experience. This got me thinking – as I used to generally integrate all these movements – assuming they were different aspects of the 1917 Russian Revolution (which of course they are). The point is that different ethno-centric experiences abound – even if we are political allies all heading in the same ideological direction.
Despite this BBC headline – which implies this entire affair is the product of a Muslim ex-MP – in fact, this case involved many non-Muslim “White” people who were quite happy to take advantage of the Tory mismanagement of the country during this national emergency. The Tories threw money at the already rich – closing down all GP Surgeries (depriving the working-class of all broad medical care) – whilst simultaneously ensuring that supermarkets remained open so that the capitalists could still make money. Furthermore, the Prime Minister – Boris Johnson – when he contracted Covid-19, was taken into the exclusive top floor of St Thomas NHS Hospital, where 10 nurses were allocated for his first-class “private care”. Any NHS staff who knew about this were forced to sign a waiver stating that if they told any outside agency about the PM “refusing” NHS care – because he was afraid it would not work (to be clear, NHS premises were utilised to provide Johnson with “private” healthcare) – they risked being suspended, and/or sacked from their job. Meanwhile, the Tories gave tree-months of rent to landlord’s for each of their sitting tenants – with the idea that these landlords could be trusted with passing-on this rent-break to their tenants. Although some did this, many did not (pocketing the extra rent whilst still taking the rent due from the tenants). To date, no landlords have been charged for committing this breath-taking financial fraud that deprived the poorest people in the UK of just 3 months of rent relief. Although Covid-19 was a genuine national emergency – and that the vaccines prevented millions of deaths – the political far-right and right-wing use news stores like this to reinforce their false narrative that Covid-19 was a myth and that vaccines cause the illnesses they are developed to prevent (about 10% of people sometimes suffer complications from vaccines – this is an issue that needs reducing and eliminating).

The story of the tomb of St. Francis, hidden for centuries beneath the main altar, lends an almost mystical undertone to this new era. After his death in 1226, the body was carefully hidden to avoid theft or desecration. It was only discovered in 1818, after a long search, and since then, several verifications have been carried out — most recently in 2015 –, which confirmed the authenticity and good state of preservation of the relics. Those bones, marked by the suffering and wounds of the Crucified One, are the physical echo of a life spent for love. The Basilica of St. Francis will become, during that month, the spiritual heart of the world. A massive influx of pilgrims from all Continents is expected. To guarantee a serene and prayerful experience, a free and mandatory reservation system has been established through the website http://www.sanfrancescovive.org, which is available in several languages.
