After Hearing A Little More About Diabetes From A Filipino Classmate Today, It Got Me Thinking About

Is there a link between climate change and diabetes? | Loop Vanuatu

Scientists have long warned that rising global temperatures may impact public health in a devastating way because climate change is associated with deadly weather events, the spread of infectious diseases and even food shortages.

After hearing a little more about diabetes from a Filipino classmate today, it got me thinking about the rising temperatures & health problems. This seems to particularly affect the Polynesians & Melanesians even more than it does for most of us, or even West Asians--who are particularly vulnerable to it--and their famously strong sweet tooth. In any case, a few weeks in the cold should do wonderfully if this is true.

Help this guy if you can, please. I hope it isn’’t troublesome to us, I wish I could pay him to do the pay part. As a fellow fanfiction writer, I give my support even if I couldn’t monetarily do so.

CALL FOR HELP

I’m trying to raise $200

I am a Bechloe fanfiction writer; mostly writing GP Beca.

My entry into Patrreon was bittersweet and was borne out of a bad experience. I never knew of Patreon until one of my readers suggested it.

I entered a GP Beca fanfiction contest and in the end got practically ghosted.

I joined the contest on January 12, 2018 - a few weeks after the creator posted about it along with the guidelines (December 27, 2017). The deadline was March 12, 2018 and I started posting my chapters. I was working on two (2) entries -minimum of 2k words per chapter, minimum of 15 chapters. I was done with 10 chapters for both stories - but posted only eight since I was editing the newer chapters – when a reader messaged me advising that I check with the creator because she doesn’t see any other stories being posted. I checked and the creator responded that there were other entries.

So I kept writing and posted the remaining two chapters I had. So all in all, I got 10 chapters posted of each stories.(20 chapters in total).

Once more I received messages telling me that the creator had stolen their stories before and that I should confront them.

As I did, the creator denied the accusations and informed me that the other contestants dropped out and I only need to deliver the remaining 5 chapters for each story and she’ll forward me the $300 prize. I did not believe her and after some back and forth she fronted $50 on February 19, 2018 with the promise to send the $250 by March 12,2018..

I’d like to note that she originally set the initial $50.payment on February 12 but it was delayed for a week. She went MIA and stopped answering messages. Days later she messaged me that she lost someone hence the non-responses.

I completed both my entries and posted them by March 11, 2018.

She once again went MIA but messaged me on March 20 2018 that she got hospitalized and has no idea when she can give the rest of the money. I kept an open line of communication with her but it’s April 21 2018 now and she won’t respond anymore.

I joined the contest for the money. I will be honest about that.

I need the money because I can’t go back to my old regular job as an industrial engineer for manufacturing company in my country after I suffered a stationary cardiac arrest in mid 2015. The arrest resulted in Hypoxic anoxic brain injury that basically left ne in a vegetative state

I was in coma for 10 days and was bed-ridden for almost two months, along with other issues such as short term memory loss, quadriparalesis, cortical blindness in which the area of my brain responsible for vision becomes disconnected from the brain. Because the brain could not tell that this part is damaged, it appeared as though I can see though I displayed no ability to recognize letters or objects or people.

I’m not from the US but if we’re talking about costs, my family and I I shelled out about t $30k from our own pockets (I converted that from my currency to US) on the first year alone. We’re not rush so that money cane mostly from the sale of one of our land properties (rice farm)..

I was deemed “legally blind” .per my social security doctor who tested me before I cam get my disability benefits. My social security disability benefits could only cover so much.

On top of that were the therapy costs and another surgery to reconstruct my tongue that had substantial tear after I bit it during one of my seizures. Therapy lasted over two years and that’s the lucky rate because as per my OT and PT, I was young. I can walk on my own now but I can’t run nor get out of the house without a companion since I sometimes just fall without warning from time to time.

My eyesight is better; though it’s never the same. I can’t read handwritten notes. I can’t see faces clearly unless they’re super up close.

For now, I tutor grade school kids at our house mainly because the books’ texts are huge and I can teach then even without reading much.

I had to turn down HS and college students since the numbers get jumbled and frankly I have been slowed down and the texts are smaller. And yeah, I do tutoring and ghostwrite simple essays and projects for kids.

I joined because I could use some relief.

I worked hard typing on my phone (since my laptop makes it hard for me to type and see despite zooming.)

In advance, my apologies for the typos. I mostly rely on Spellcheck and sometimes even editing or proofreading more than thrice still results in errors.

I have posted screenshots of my conversation with the creator for reference.

I have recently come across this Chukchi & Inuit group called Ergyron, & after hearing this song, it got me thinking about how distances can bring us closer together. My editor showed me this song, & now am listening to more of their songs (subtitled). Hiyo’oy.

A heartening experience to hear from him, & I do hope my editor experiences something similar when he comes to my country, especially if he comes to visit me & my family if I were to be there.

Restoring reindeer herd for Siberia’s last nomads

Give hope to an Evenki family in Siberia and save their tribe's future | Check out 'Restoring reindeer herd for Siberia’s last nomads' on Indiegogo.

Forest Evenki are much like us & the related Khamnigan with the according solidarity needing to be brought forth. This won’t be possible without the push for climate change recognition, or some merchandise from the Dukha nearby, who live similarly. With the amount of animal husbandry found among the Karahto Ainu, this form of herding might well have occurred in the culture, distinct from the Hokkaido Ainu life. May the Evenki kinds live strong.
