Sinopsis

  
  This is a compilation of my Coping With ESKD blogs at domingobuen.blogspot.com from March 20, 2014 up to May 7, 2019 in chronological order. This is all about my actual dialysis experiences, writing essays and research work as a dialysis patient at the Hemo Dialysis Unit (HDU) of Gov. Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital (GCGMH).  This book also include my know-how and achievements in running the Bohol Association of Hemo-Dialysis Patients and Watchers (BOASHEPAWA) as Chairman of the group. I started dialysis on September 29, 2011 and it has been almost eight years since then and I finally realized that it would be easier for me to share my experiences and articles about dialysis if I can print it in a book so that my fellow dialysis patients, doctors, nurses and those people who are interested about caring for their kidneys to avoid kidney disease can read and share it to more people.  
 
     This book aims to provide information and knowledge about the intricacies of dialysis, what is it all about and what to do and what not to do by the patients. I am not a medical practitioner, but through my personal experiences and continuous research about dialysis, I was able to know the major aspects about dialysis and share it to my co-dialysis patients through my dialysis blogs. This book will also show how I have coped with End Stage Kidney Disease with positive outlook in life, find ways to make my time useful through writing, research and still hopeful and courageous despite a life of pain and uncertainties.

    In Dr. J. Bruce Stewart's transformative work, "The Race Ahead," readers are taken on a compelling journey into the depths of racial bias ingrained in American society and the mind itself. This groundbreaking book not only diagnoses the presence and origins of racial biases but also prescribes a sophisticated blueprint for eradicating them, aimed at rewiring how we perceive and interact across racial lines. 
    Dr. Stewart begins by exploring the psychological foundations of bias, focusing particularly on the amygdala's role in triggering automatic and subconscious responses associated with fear and othering. He explains how these psychological processes, though once essential to human survival, now perpetuate division and misunderstanding in a diverse society. Using relatable anecdotes and rigorous research, Stewart shows how deep-seated fears and stereotypes shape our interactions, often in ways we are not consciously aware of. 
    Central to the book is the "Last Mile" problem, a concept Stewart uses to describe the final and most challenging steps in the journey toward racial equity. These steps involve not only acknowledging and understanding biases but actively implementing strategies to dismantle them within ourselves and our institutions. Stewart argues that this last mile is fraught with complexities and challenges, as it requires changing longstanding societal structures and confronting uncomfortable truths. 
    Part historical review, part psychological exploration, and part sociological study, "The Race Ahead" delves into the origins and perpetuations of racial myths and stereotypes. From the misrepresentations in media and literature that shape public perception to the policies and practices in education and law enforcement that reinforce racial disparities, Stewart leaves no stone unturned. 
    "The Race Ahead" is an urgent call to action, demanding a radical shift in both mindset and behavior from all sectors of society. It challenges readers to confront their biases

    An ambitious look at how the twentieth century's great powers devised their military strategies and what their implications mean for military competition between the United States and China 
     
     
     
    How will the United States and China evolve militarily in the years ahead? Many experts believe the answer to this question is largely unknowable. But Zack Cooper argues that the American and Chinese militaries are following a well-trodden path. For centuries, the world's most powerful militaries have adhered to a remarkably consistent pattern of behavior, determined largely by their leaders' perceptions of relative power shifts. By uncovering these trends, this book places the evolving military competition between the United States and China in historical context. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on a decade of research and on his experience at the White House and the Pentagon, Cooper outlines a novel explanation for how militaries change as they rise and decline. Tides of Fortune examines the paths of six great powers of the twentieth century, tracking how national leaders adjusted their defense objectives, strategies, and investments in response to perceived shifts in relative power. All these militaries followed a common pattern, and their experiences shed new light on both China's recent military modernization and America's potential responses.

    Chaldeans The: The History and...

    Today, Babylon has become a byword for greed, excess, and licentiousness, mostly due to its mention in the Bible, but a closer examination reveals that Babylon was so much more, and even perhaps the most important city in the ancient world. Ancient Babylon was home to great dynasties that produced some of the world’s most influential leaders, most notably Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar, and these rulers invoked their wills on the entire ancient Near East and have been remembered as both progressive and cruel all at the same time. Babylon was also the seat of culture in ancient Mesopotamia and the place where scholars made amazing scientific advances that would not be eclipsed for several centuries. Babylon was also instrumental in the development of the region’s religions, and naturally, Westerners have been fascinated by the close connections between some of the Mesopotamian religious texts, which include a flood story, a creation story and a story of the righteous sufferer, and their parallels in the Hebrew Bible.  
    	The Chaldeans were among the last of the native Mesopotamian peoples to rule ancient Babylon. Before them, Akkadians, Kassites, Assyrians, and others ruled the land situated in the middle of Mesopotamia, and before them, the Sumerians ruled southern Mesopotamia and briefly most of the region in the late 3rd millennium BCE. Understanding ancient Mesopotamia requires knowing studying how different city-states and ethnic groups were often vying for power, asserting themselves and their ethnic identities while simultaneously accepting core elements of Mesopotamian culture – notably language, science, religion, and historiography – as they played a role in the region’s development.  
    	What makes the Chaldeans unique, however, is that they can be traced to the Levant. Sometime in the late 2nd millennium BCE, the Chaldeans began a trek across the region, as many people did at that time, and eventually occupied land along the Euphrates River.
