I dont get why people here are so livid that people like to have a tidy desk and/or tidy up before photographing their desk.
Many people also like to tidy up their home a bit before they receive guests or groom themselves before going out for the night. No reason to judge them.
Because if a "condition" doesn't impact you, will it help to be aware of it? Over treatment can be a real problem. You dont want to take medisine you dont need, or spend much time in a hospital if there is no net positive outcome.
This cancer is a pain. My father was extremely lucky, and was diagnosed early. Next up was months of chemo that left him to be a shell of himself. Then he could be operated. They removed parts of his stomach, his spleen and duodenum. And his whole pancreas.
Complications after his surgery meant he had two more. He is now, three weeks after the first operation learning to walk again. It will be an additional week or two untill he can eat. (Without the complication he would have been walking and eating two weeks after the first operation). Oh and he is a diabetic now, since they removed his pancreas.
Just crossing my fingers that he will get out of the hospital without any more complications, and adapt to the new life.
>The students at Scandinavian universities are selected to a degree, but represent a far broader range of the distribution and correspondingly there's a broader range of exam results.
I disagree with that, it is common knowledge that these students will get A's if they do a semester in the US.
There is a lot more to it than literal translations. Even if an american can talk Norwegian it doesn't mean that they get the cultural context right.
"Oh yeah after you drive 2 hours home from work your wife and kid will greet you with some delicious pie" doesnt work so well even if its in Norwegian.
The last three years more or less none of my students have bought the textbook for the subject. That is pretty mind blowing. In turn they expect a complete textbook from my lecture notes, which isn't possible.
I get that textbooks are getting more expensive though.
