Before there was a Doctor Jonas Salk (1914-1995), there was a Nurse Kenny (1880-1952)

Sister Elizabeth Kenny discovered a revolutionary treatment for infantile paralysis and devoted her life to the dissemination of the treatment throughout the U.S. and abroad. After doctors on the east and west coasts dismissed her ideas, Sister Kenny came to Minnesota in 1940. She worked with doctors at the Mayo Clinic and in Minneapolis and opened the Sister Kenny Institute in 1942. She went against traditional treatments for polio and urged that the stricken limbs be exercised. This procedure opened the modern-day era of rehabilitation medicine and physical therapy. (Minn. Historical Society Library)

1946 Movie "Sister Kenny," based on groundbreaking Australian nurse Elizabeth Kenny. Her innovative method of treating Polio prior to a vaccine met resistance in the medical field but ultimately gained widespread acceptance.  Sister Kenny was a pioneer in what is today's Physical Therapy treatment. Sister Kenny (1946) - The Confrontation

History of India/Pakistan

 

India vs Pakistan: The 70-year conflict in Kashmir explained

This is why the study of history is so important. Those left wondering what sparked today's conflicts between Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Palestine, or India/Pakistan need look at the history behind relations of said countries. What we outside these border country disputes may interpret as senseless and unprovoked attacks might be surprised to learn the historical aspects behind their relations. Something in their past relations has likely come back to bite them in the keister.

And, more times than not, the birth of these conflicts involved third-party countries and post-war decisions.  So, before any of us choose to protest another country's behavior toward its neighbor, we should at least educate ourselves on the history of the dispute. War and conflicts are known to leave a nasty taste in the mouths of those involved. And then there's the children.

War is not the gift that keeps on giving but the hell that keeps on destroying.

Give Peace a Chance!

Cinco De Mayo - Buddy Hield Day in the Bay

Commemorative Buddy Hield Theme Song

Yes! Yes! Yes!

The Golden State Warriors, featuring a stifling defense and Buddy Hield offensive output (33pts.), put the Rockets playoff series to bed in Houston. After blowing a 3-1 series lead, the Warriors came into game 7 in Houston with all sorts of questions surrounding their gameplan against a resurgent young team. How were they going to handle the Rockets zone defense with big men Steven Adams, Alperen Sengun, and Jabari Smith. How were they going to slow down the long-range sharpshooting of veteran Fred VanVleet. And who of the Warriors secondary players would step up to deliver much-needed offensive assistance to Curry (Batman) and Butler (Robin).

Yes! Yes! Yes!

It would be Buddy Hield (Alfred), who donned the Warriors superhero cape while knocking down lethal shots. The Houston Rockets had no answer for Alfred's  . . .  . . .  I mean Buddy's long-range barrage of ballistic missiles consistently hitting their mark. The home team put up a gallant effort, coming back to within three points. But Buddy and company thwarted all would-be comebacks with a show of dominance, leaving no doubt in the minds of onlookers as to which team packed more devastating weaponry in their utility belt.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Congratulations to Buddy Hield and the Golden State Warriors on their first-round playoff series victory. Houston, you no longer have a problem!

Final Score (Game 7) Warriors win series 4-3
