They are solid masses made of crystals that usually originate in the kidneys but can also develop anywhere along the urinary tract.

Now businesses face soaring energy bills
Douglas Fraser Published 27 April Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Businesses do not have the householders' protection of an energy price cap, though many have been helped by fixing their prices last autumn, before the surge in prices began. That lasts, for many, until autumn, and now is the time they are finding out how much more they will have to pay. Some, in Glasgow, are rebelling. Some firms can pass on extra costs to customers, including energy suppliers themselves. But for others, they face the daunting task of absorbing costs or losing custom. Barista and businessman Robbie Gray had enough of the soaring electricity bills for the Canary Girl Cafe. "It's like staring into the abyss and not knowing what's coming," he says. "I'm not the kind of person who's afraid of their bills, but the last few months, I've dreaded that little brown envelope coming through the … [Read more...] about Now businesses face soaring energy bills
Brace for more pain ahead after a plunge in sterling
At Rakusen’s, one of Britain’s oldest cracker businesses, there are certain things that simply cannot be changed. “We have to run the ovens to cook the biscuits,” joint owner and managing director Andrew Simpson says. “And we can’t just put less wheat in all our crackers.” There, like every other food business in Britain, costs of energy and ingredients have proved a particular burden in recent months. Yet, Simpson says there has been another factor which has piled further pain on businesses. “All of our major commodities inputs are priced in dollars or affected by the value of the dollar,” he says. “Inevitably, the devaluation of the pound puts cost into the business.” For Rakusen’s, even buying locally does not solve the issue. Its wheat is grown in the north of England and is bought from a flour mill 30 miles down the road. But, Simpson says, “it’s effectively priced in dollars”. “The grain is a global commodity. And if we're not prepared to pay a competitive price for it, … [Read more...] about Brace for more pain ahead after a plunge in sterling
Illinois GOP candidate says “Let’s move on” hours after Chicago shooting
Illinois gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey posted a video in which he said "let's move on and celebrate the independence of this nation" hours after a deadly mass shooting a Fourth of July parade in suburban Chicago . Bailey, a Republican, shared a Facebook Live video about 12p.m. CT (1.p.m. ET) on Monday, about two hours after the shootings began—shortly after 10a.m. CT (11a.m. ET)—in the city's Highland Park suburb. At least six were killed and 30 injured in the latest mass shooting to stun the U.S ., this time on the day Americans united to celebrate the nation's founding. Police have taken 22-year-old "person of interest" Robert E. Crimo III into custody following a manhunt. Bailey's campaign later issued a clarification following criticism, apologizing "if in any way we diminished the pain being felt across our state today." Bailey's broadcast was made from Skokie, near Highland Park, where another July 5 parade was canceled following the shooting.

Oil prices down 9% but pound slumps as recession fears grip global markets
Global financial markets are enduring a day of turmoil over rising fears of a recession for the US and Europe as economic growth is challenged by surging inflation.. There was a rush for safe havens in Europe on Tuesday, later mirrored in the US, with stock markets plunging and the pound and euro coming under intense pressure from the dollar - a traditional place of shelter in volatile times. Sterling hit its lowest level against the greenback since the start of the pandemic at $1.19 - a plunge of almost two cents on the day - while the single currency slumped to a 20-year low versus the dollar . Traders reported that while a strong dollar was evident, there were particular concerns in Europe over mounting gas prices as Norway, the second-largest supplier on the continent after sanctions-hit Russia, got to grips with a strike that was affecting exports. The Bank of England also added to the gloom when its latest Financial Stability Report warned that the economic … [Read more...] about Oil prices down 9% but pound slumps as recession fears grip global markets
Psychiatry and the War
by BRIG. GEN. WILLIAM C. MENNINGER, USA MILITARY psychiatry differs from civilian psychiatry in that the Army must be totally responsible for a man — not only for his food and clothing, but especially for his ability to participate in his particular mission. Consequently, when a man did not fulfill his function, the Army had to find the cause and, if possible, remedy it. In many instances the cause lay in his personality and in his emotional difficulties. Since there is a human tendency to retreat into illness under stress, it was not surprising to find that many men became ill when they were unable to meet the demands of the new life. Military psychiatry differs also in quality from civilian psychiatry. In the Army much more effort and time are invested in a preventive psychiatryan attempt to keep men healthy and to seek out causes for poor morale. Until comparatively recently, the majority of civilian psychiatric patients had to be brought to the psychiatrist by relatives, … [Read more...] about Psychiatry and the War
