Empathy

drkmchow | June 18, 2011, 8:08 p.m. | Original

Following a hospital forum on doctor-patient relationship, I spent another whole day teaching the medical school graduates to practice empathy in communication. I taught them a good deal to recognize (and verbalize) the patient's emotion.

For those of you who believes that emotion is as obvious as an instant Twitter broadcast (or Facebook status update), you would have laughed out loud. If so, think twice after hearing behaviorist John Gottman's forecast of divorce probabilities. In piecing together years of research on marriage,

Review: Bose Companion 2 Series II Multimedia Computer Speaker System

Jeff's Rating: 4 /5

tl;dr : Five stars for sound quality (especially considering the size of the speakers), but a 3 for the price (you still pay for the BoseÂ® name).

For a very long time, I've used my computer, with a 24"+ display, as my TV, computer, DVD/Blu-Ray player, Xbox 360 setup, etc. Because of this, I had my 5.1 surround sound system

Jeff's Rating: 5 /5

tl;dr : Priced perfectly, works perfectly, and is perfect for a small office or home network.

This will be a somewhat quicker review than I normally post, for the simple fact that there's very little to be said about this switch, other than it works, it's priced well, and it's absolutely perfect for my needs.

In my condo, I've changed around my wired/wireless network a few times since moving in,

Does God cure (3)

Sincerely I appreciate the reply from Breakthrough, I can see wholeheartedness and encouraging thoughts in it.

Let me prime a little bit more on this very question I brought about.

It was few months back, when I was still a busy medical student burying myself in piles of books preparing for exams.

While in one night, when I saw a HUGE acne grew right on my forehead, a thought raced through my mind: Why dont I pray for its healing? Even though I don't believe it will disappear out

文格和人格

魚之樂 | June 18, 2011, 3:01 a.m. | Original

雖然文格和人格不會完全對應，因為一個人格不高的人可以在行文時盡力裝扮自己，下筆如謙謙君子、從容有理；然而，大部份人只會扮好人，不會扮壞人，因此，一般而言，假如一個人文格低下，多少也反映出他的人格亦不會

出軌的男人

「Daisy，Perlman 今年會來香港，要不要一起去看？」Plan B 某日來電說。

「當然想，但票一定很難買吧，而且現在還未開始發售。」

「只要你想看，我無論如何都會買到。」

Well，大家都知道Philip 是我的Plan A。但人生無常，來多個

My xdm heresy

Wandering Thoughts | June 18, 2011, 1:18 a.m. | Original

My xdm heresy is that I don't like it and don't use it and never have(at least not on my main machines , the onesthat run my full environment). This has nothing to do with xdm itself(I don't like any of the xdm alternatives either) and everything to dowith how much of a hack the xdm model of 'logging in' is.

Unix has long had a well defined model of how you log in and establishyour environment, where the shell
