When a (random) quantum event at the molecular level (DNA or RNA-DNA or RNA-protein or protein-protein) has consequences at the level of the phenotype, the somatic consequences may persist if they are compatible with the ecosystem and with the ever changing “coherence structure” of the organism as constructed along its history.

Biological evolution is a complex blend of ever changing structural stability, variability and emergence of new phenotypes, niches, ecosystems.
Biological evolution is a complex blend of ever changing structural stability, variability and emergence of new phenotypes, niches, ecosystems.
We wish to argue that the evolution of life marks the end of a physics world view of law entailed dynamics. Our considerations depend upon discussing the variability of the very ”contexts of life”: the interactions between organisms, biological niches and ecosystems. These are ever changing, intrinsically indeterminate and even unprestatable: we do not know ahead of time the "niches" which constitute the boundary conditions on selection. More generally, by the mathematical unprestatability of the "phase space" (space of possibilities), no laws of motion can be formulated for evolution. We call this radical emergence, from life to life. The purpose of this paper is the integration of variation and diversity in a sound conceptual frame and situate unpredictability at a novel theoretical level, that of the very phase space.

No system of thought can provide direct access to Empty Fullness for any-body. Experience is constructed via the mental thought system, that uses the mind of a body-mind, to convince that it is a separate individual entity that is uniquely individuated from every-body and every-thing else, when that is not what's happening.
🕉That is not what's happening, since there is not two of any-thing. There is no separation of every-thing as Empty Fullness. This and that is seemingly so, despite how the self-conjured constructs of duality prevent glimpses of the fact that there has been, is, and will always simply be this, as Empty Fullness.
🕉That is so, regardless of how a self-conjured self has be-come deluded by the manufacturing of its own self-conjured conjurings as dreamings of self-conjured humanly-based constructs, as it seemingly continues to deny that that is so.
🕉All this and that dualities, are seemingly not so, due to the delusional self-conjured conjurings from a self-conjured conjured self, that consistently self-perpetuates conjurings, despite how and why the separate sense of a self-conjured conjured self, cannot be so easily self-convinced, that it is a fallen victim of its own self-conjured conjurings, in denial of blindly accepting all self-conjured conjurings of ideas and human constructs, as a separate sense of self, that is reinforced by firm beliefs, as a self-perpetuated self-conjured conjured self, that is seemingly existing within a dream-like reality of self-conjured human constructs of its own design.

Pearls for improving patient outcomes
• Children with open growth plates are more likely
to fracture through the growth plate than sustain a
sprain.
• Many buckle fractures of the forearm will only
be visible on the lateral film.
• Nurse maid ’ s elbow can be diagnosed clinically. If
the typical history of being pulled with an
outstretched hand, without any other trauma is
present a hyperpronation maneuver may be performed
without radiographs.
• The presence of a posterior fat pad in the setting of
traumatic injury to the elbow with otherwise normal
radiographs is highly suggestive of occult fracture.
• Normal x-rays are common in toddler ’ s fracture.
Immobilization of the extremity should be based on
clinical suspicion.
• A normal white count does not rule out the possibility
of septic arthritis.
• Children frequently complain of knee pain,
when in reality it is the hip that is the cause of the
pathology.
• Child abuse should always be a consideration
when a child has a fracture or bruising in an infant.
Rib, metaphyseal fractures, midshaft humeral and
femur fractures in infant and non-ambulatory toddlers
are high risk for abuse.
P KEY FACT | While there is no one fracture type that is truly pathognomonic for abuse, one must have a high index of suspicion for abuse when a young child presents with a femur or mid-shaft humerus fracture.

Pearls to improve patient outcomes
• Patients with corneal abrasions, ulcers, and corneal
foreign bodies are all treated with antibiotics
and should see an ophthalmologist within 24 hours.
• Contact lens wearers with corneal abrasions or
patients with corneal ulcers (regardless of contact
lens use) require antipseudomonal antibiotic coverage
and should be advised to refrain from wearing
their contacts until they are cleared to do so by an
ophthalmologist.
• Provide systemic corticosteroids to patients with
severe throat pain due to GAS pharyngitis in order
to hasten symptomatic improvement.
• Consider peritonsillar abscess in patients with a
sore throat affecting only one side.
• When patients have throat pain that is out of
proportion to the physical findings, consider retropharyngeal
abscess and epiglottitis.
• Admit patients with posterior and bilateral anterior
packing for control of nosebleeds.

REBEL
SUMMARY: REBEL
LIKELY STRENGTHS:
Independent-minded
Able to think outside the box
Unswayed by conventional wisdom
Willing to go his or her own way, to buck social conventions
In touch with his or her authentic desires
Spontaneous
POSSIBLE WEAKNESSES:
Likely to resist when asked or told to do something
Uncooperative
Inconsiderate
Has trouble accomplishing tasks that need to be done consistently, the same way, every time
Acts as though ordinary rules don’t apply
Restless; may find it difficult to settle down in a job, relationship, city
Struggles with routines and planning
May be indifferent to reputation
////////////////////////////////////////////////
SUMMARY: DEALING WITH A REBEL
They resist both outer and inner expectations
They put a high value on freedom, choice, identity, and self-expression
If someone asks or tells them to do something, they’re likely to resist.
They may respond to a challenge: “I’ll show you,” “Watch me,” “Y ou can’t make me,” “Y ou’re not the boss of me”
They may choose to act out of love, a sense of mission, belief in a cause
They have trouble telling themselves what to do—even when it’s something they want to do
They meet a challenge, in their own way, in their own time
They don’t respond well to supervision, advice, or directions
They tend to be good at delegating
If they’re in a long-term relationship, their partner is probably an Obliger

They may have trouble setting limits on others’ demands
They may have trouble delegating, because they feel that some expectations attach to them personally

They may be exploited by people who take advantage of them, and because of that…
They may feel resentful or burned out, in which case…
