Emotional footage from Afghanistan shows Afghan female medical students and their instructor in tears, consoling each other after the Taliban banned them from continuing their studies. The new directive shuts women out of medicine—the last field still open to them.
only 39 out of 777 formula one drivers have eight or more wins, that’s 5% of the total f1 drivers.
if that doesn’t signify that daniel ricciardo deserves a better goodbye then i don’t know what does…
Gonna yap for a second, because I'm honestly really bothered by this. I'm not even really much of a Daniel fan, but seeing this play out, you're not human if it doesn't upset you.
The more I think about it, the way the Ricciardo situation has been handled is nothing short of cowardly and embarrassing for Red Bull.
To think this is the organisation which has gone from being effectively unbeatable last year, to now being woefully inadequate in all areas, not able to even avoid something as simple as one of their driver's contract woes being played out for all the world's media to see is disgusting.
I can't help but think about it in a much more disconnected from F1 way. Imagine tomorrow morning you go into work, having no idea if you have a job next week, everyone you work with asking you how it feels that it's your last shift, and your own boss telling you they've heard nothing about you leaving? Add to that a marathon, with weights on, in a steam room, and I guess that's something like how Ricciardo feels. At the end of the day, as sad as this is for his fans, this is a real person at the middle of all this, and the way Red Bull have handled it says a lot about how little they respect their drivers as people.
The worst part is, it all could have been handled differently so easily. The Red Bull racing we knew a year ago would've either put a stop to it, or been very clear about the situation as soon as it hit the media. They wouldn't have left one of their own drivers to cry on international television without even being able to confirm if he was indeed leaving or not. It's shameful, and completely unnecessary. Daniel Ricciardo has been too important and too liked in this sport to have this as his exit.
Shame on Christian Horner, Helmut Marko, and Red Bull Racing.

Are you guys seeing the news out of India??? Dr Moumita Debnath was raped and killed at work. AT WORK!
And in just 48hrs, I’ve read some more chilling stories of violence against women and girls from there too. When and where will women and girls be free from male violence? 💔

Why do residents work so much? Tradition.
In the 1890s, Dr. Halsted created the model for residency training--residents worked 24/7 with little pay.
Sadly, he was using cocaine to stay awake & morphine to sleep, relying on residents working nonstop to cover up his addiction.
We are devastated to learn of Matthew Perry’s passing. He was a true gift to us all. Our heart goes out to his family, loved ones, and all of his fans.

Only about 25% of U.S. women exclusively breast-feed for their infants’ first 6 months. After her own struggles, these statistics seem realistic to a physician-mother, who previously had no concept of how hard it could be. Read the full Perspective: https://t.co/HBA0eANocQ
Don’t do it.
Don't lower your standards because of other’s behavior.
Some days you may not live up to your own standards. That's okay. Forgive yourself and do better tomorrow.
But a career in medicine can be brutal, and one brutal truth is this:
Julu lu in Shanghai, around lunchtime. The city has a weird pre-Chinese Newyear feel, right now. As if people left for their hometowns already. In reality, they stay indoors. Many because they’re sick, others to be careful.
Yesterday I went to a #Shanghai public hospital and it is swamped by patients, the majority of them are elderly in need of oxygen, no room for people. This wave is going to be tough ...
