Various expectations in your life
Adolescence can be a trying period when you have myriad expectations thrust on you. Your parents expect a lot from you, your teachers have high expectations and your friends and siblings too expect the world from you. Suddenly you are forced to take decisions as uncomfortable questions are posed to you: "So what are you planning to do with your life?" or "Why don't you be a bit more social?" or "Why don't you study harder?" and even "You'll soon be married."

Beach Living!!
I would like to try and set the mood of last night (I’m not a writer by any stretch of the imagination). I was basically sitting on the beach in a bar with my fiancé watching the last of the surfers trying to catch the last waves of the day. The sun was going down directly in front of us, we were enjoying a beer or two. There was UB40 playing in the background, being from NZ I grew up with UB40, I had not heard them for years. The few people left on the beach were just silhouettes in the distance as the sun begun to change color to an amazing orange, then to pink. the kind you only see in magazines or on TV.

Living a Creative Life
What does it mean to live a creative life? It means looking for new and better ways to live from day to day and year to year, rather than going along on automatic or doing what everyone else around you is doing. It means applying that brainpower to more than just paying the bills and winning those video games - and more than even creative thinking or writing.

Bad Driving Habits
Bad driving habits are the main causes of accidents on our roads. Firstly, drinking and driving is a worldwide bad habit that contributes to a larger percentage of accidents on the roads. When driving under the influence of alcohol, or any other substance, it is indeed an awful combination. Despite the effort to hunt down drivers under the influence of alcohol, many have not taken heed. The Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that about 1.4 million drivers were arrested in 2010 while driving under the influence of alcohol. Out of these, 28% of the drivers were involved in fatal accidents.

Medieval Plague Masks
Being in the middle of the Covid-19 outbreak, it is interesting to think about how societies in the past dealt with pandemics that they were faced with. Many of the approaches societies used were relatively useless, or, in some cases, did more harm than good. The toxic element mercury was commonly used in treatments for skin disorders and syphilis and bloodletting are examples of these. Religion was often commonly used. Considering that, for most of human history, people were unaware of the presence of bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic pathogens, it becomes less surprising that many of the theories of disease were extremely incorrect. However, even though physicians in the past may not have known of the presence of microorganisms, they had managed to accidentally come up with a way to protect themselves from the potentially fatal creatures, and what they created was, in many ways, genius.

Plague Doctors
For more history, collowing @kingdomoftributes on Instagram! What was a plague doctor? The Medico della Peste, also known as The Beak Doctor, they were a medieval physician meant to treat bubonic plague victims. They treated everyone due to pay from the city, but some charged more for "special" treatments or falsified cures. Majority were amateurs and only counted for the number of casualties instead of curing, and little were genuinely experienced in medicine. At the time, claiming to be a healer wasn't difficult and only few knew with accuracy what they did, and so many only worsened it. Generally, doctors weren't associated with knowing what they were truly doing until the 19th century. People in France and the Netherlands called them "empirics" due to their lack of medical training, as there was an example of s fruit vendor being a doctor. Yet, because of the illness, they were seen as valuable and revered and were given special privileges at time. For ex: there was an incident where Barcelona sent two of these doctors to Tortosa in 1650 and they were captured and demanded for ransom... Matteo du Angelo was a doctor in 1348 that was hired for 50 florin a year in Orveito... doctors were hired by Pope Clement VI to handle the sick in Avignon... Florence and Perugia used them to do autopsies to find a cure and a cause of death. These doctors witnessed dozens of wills during epidemics and gave advice on what to do before death (it depended per patient and after the medieval era the nature between doc and patience developed a complex ethical code) and other important document, and since the job was more demographic, some doctors ran off with wills and documents. And since desperate times called for desperate measures, The closer to dying the worse the testament. The most doctors knew was just the person they were treating, and the less they knew medically the more comfy they were with creativity. Regardless of economic status, doctors served to everyone, but some did "invent" cures or medicines that had a fee for the wealthy.
