Colin Wilcox didn’t think he would ever return to rowing.

I, along with a few caring friends, were very surprised when the United Nations’ watchdog agency permitted the Fukushima Nuclear Plant to start throwing its radiated water into the Pacific Ocean after 12 years of wait. According to them, this radiated water has been diluted and is not going to harm the fish, sea plants, sea salt and bacteria inhabiting the ocean. The United States and Taiwan have not taken seriously this impending disaster which might be greater than the…

At my sister’s insistence, one doctor at a local hospital investigated the possibility that her ailment might be due to a tick bite—in particular, anaplasmosis. After learning all about it, he contacted her to inform her that she indeed did have anaplasmosis.…
