Parts of the ancient Hellenistic buildings were reused later, as in this famous example in Istambul where this face serves as the stand for a pillar.
Is this what the outside world thinks that people with disabilities are? Reduced Fare? Anyone at anytime may have to enter into the portal of "Reduced Fare"- whether it be baggage that is too big, or a bike that doesn't fit through the normal entrance. Becuase of the harshness system, many people with disabilities have to rely on T.A.P. subway passes (governmental assistance) because they don't have enough money to purchase regular passes and therefore at some stations can only enter in through the Reduced Fare Entrance. What stigma there is in the outside world.

What an excellent day! Besides a so-boring-it's-not-even-right class, the day was fantastic! 1) We got our recycle bin delivered and 2) I got to see Beth Moore!
I guess you'd describe Beth Moore in this context as a motivational Christian speaker, but moreso with a Scripture message leading her talk. Our Wednesday night B-stud has done her Daniel study, and she's great!! I loved it and I was so glad I got to go. And, I got to meet Heidi's Mom and have a sleepover with Emily's Mom and her friend Ally and her mom. Really happy fun night :)

Statins and diabetes drugs found to reduce risk of age-related macular degeneration
Researchers found that people taking drugs to lower cholesterol had a 15% reduced risk of developing AMD compared to those who were not taking the drugs.
Meanwhile, people taking medicine to control diabetes appeared to have a 22% lesser risk.

Statins may prevent people from losing eyesight in later life
Scientists also found people prescribed diabetes drugs, such as insulin and anti-inflammatories, had lower risk of developing the condition
Statins and other drugs which lower cholesterol may also prevent people from losing their eyesight in later life, scientists have found.
Experts, led by a team from University Hospital Bonn in Germany, examined 14 studies involving almost 40,000 people from the UK, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Portugal and Russia.
They found that people taking statins were 15 per cent less likely to go on to develop age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Similarly, they found that people prescribed type 2 diabetes drugs - such as insulin and anti-inflammatories - also had a 22 per cent lower risk of AMD.
AMD, which affects more than 1.5 million in Britain, is a progressive disease caused by the accumulation of fatty lipids and protein under the retina - the "camera" at the back of the eye.
The condition usually first affects people in their 50s and 60s and although it does not cause total blindness - affecting just the middle part of vision - it makes it difficult to read and recognise faces.
There are two forms of AMD, known as "wet" and "dry". The "dry" form is the more common of the two, accounting for 85 per cent of cases, and there is currently no treatment.
'Leading cause for severe visual impairment' in high-income countries
Writing in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, Dr Matthias M Mauschitz, of the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Bonn said: “Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause for severe visual impairment and blindness in high-income countries and particularly affects the population above the age of 55 years.
“Our study indicates an association of systemic use of lipid-lowering drugs and antidiabetic drugs with lower AMD prevalence across several European cohort studies.
“These findings have implications for public health messages, underline the link of AMD with cardiovascular comorbidities and may provide potential future therapeutic targets.”
The exact cause of AMD is unknown, but it has been linked to smoking, high blood pressure, being overweight, and having a family history of the condition, hinting at a genetic component.
Drugs may control build-up of oxidised fats and proteins
Researchers say the drugs may work by controlling the build-up of oxidised fats and proteins in the eye, which can clump together to form a lesion at the centre of the eye, which causes AMD.
As well as lowering fats, the drugs may also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects which prevent the lesion from forming, scientists believe.
In 2016, a small study by Harvard Medical School found that high-dose statins could actually reverse AMD, by clearing away fatty deposits in the retina.
A trial involving 10 patients with AMD who were given double the usual dose, led to vision improvements for all participants.
Around 17 million people are eligible for statins in Britain.

Association of lipid-lowering drugs and antidiabetic drugs with age-related macular degeneration: a meta-analysis in Europeans

Almost 20 million older Americans live with sight-robbing macular degeneration
Within the next six months to a year, there will likely be two new drugs to treat dry AMD, said Maturi, who estimated that about 15 different pharmaceutical companies have AMD drugs in various stages of development.
Helpful changes include quitting smoking, getting regular exercise, maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and eating healthy foods, especially leafy green vegetables and fish.
Doctors also recommend taking an antioxidant supplement formulated for this purpose that combines vitamin E, zinc, copper, lutein and zeaxanthin.
The findings were published Nov. 3 in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology.
Old, circa ~2009 lawn mower left on the side of the road around here ("broken"). Washed off the grime, cleaned the rust off the spark plugs, changed the oil, and it was running as good as new! (sold it to someone else on Craiglist for a tidy profit last week ;-)

Galbiati Group was at Hall 25, Stand F13 with their Mechanical machining and Construction and Gear Reducers Divisions and met considerable interest among its visitors, interesting contacts and new business opportunities. The backlit wall of our booth had a huge success, bright, shone and attracted the attention of visitors: it reproduced in 3D one of our Main Drive gearbox realization.

That's what I am. I was at a wine party on Wednesday night when I noticed that the hostess was tossing all the wine bottles in the trash. I saw it happen, I thought, "Just ask her if you can take the bottles home."
I didn't. I chickened out. I feel bad.
