His parents were Jews fleeing Russia in the late1800's. He was a high school football star at Baltimore City College in 1936! After leaving Wake Forest he served in WWII. But he died before I was old enough to hear any of his life stories. I just knew what my mother said... that he really wanted a son to pass on the "Deckelman" name! And so I was it! I was born 2 1/2 months premature! Cross-eyed! Just over 4lbs! I spent months in the ICU! I wasn't getting started off on the right foot! I then went to live with a Jewish foster family until age 6 when my mom and dad picked me back up. My mom was attractive but crazy! She was mentally ill! Her words from my dad about me carrying on the family name triggered something deep! I had to make a name for myself! I had to be somebody! I would go on to make All District in football my senior year! My role models were warriors! Strong men! Football coaches! Men like my dad! Being an Airborne Ranger or a Green Beret, or in Desert Storm, aren't highlights of my life to me. Working at Facebook or on Mega Yachts or being a Federal Air Marshal doesn't define me either. I killed a lot of bad men in Iraq while being surrounded by some of the best men I know! Our "Team Miami" was special! We had chemistry! It was a family! A warrior class of people! Rules that make sense to me! I was home! And I enjoyed killing bad men! My Team killed a lot of them! I've survived 2 divorces, and as you will hear I was the monstrous-monster in both! I have two beautiful kids, and two beautiful grandkids! I call my grand daughter Bella-cakes! I saw my dad in her eyes one day! There is something very special about that girl! Before my thru hike of the AT, and before I found yoga and a more mindful life, I use to feel sorry for myself for not having my dad. But I woke up! I've taken a fork in the road. At age 55, I feel better than ever! My internal volume stays really low now. I spent 50 years living with my internal volume in the high "hell" range! Just dragging my stressed-out body and everyone else that loves, and cares about me along for the ride through this Busy, Toxic, and Chaotic Life! Come strap-on my shoes for a minute or two! Come take a walk in what it feels like to become a Monster! A Killer! Come hear and feel how I became a Mindful-Monster! And a Yoga Teacher! Namaste #charity #community #mentalhealth

Chinese internal medicine is a clinical subject which explains, using traditional Chinese theories, the etiology, pathology and therapeutic rules of the diseases or syndromes belonging to internal medicine. It is also the foundation for learning and research in other clinical branches of Chinese medicine, thus playing a vital role in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).Chinese internal medicine has had a long history. Its origins can be traced back several thousand years. Through long-term diagnostic and therapeutic practices, a rich collection of experiences and theories in Chinese internal medicine has been accumulated and this has gradually evolved into a complete, distinctive and effective clinical branch. In recent decades, Chinese internal medicine has also undergone more significant developments, especially in the treatment of cardiac or cerebral vascular diseases, digestive tract diseases, renal diseases and autoimmune diseases.In order to popularize Chinese internal medicine and allow readers to grasp its basic theories as well as diagnostic and therapeutic methods, we wrote this book in a language easily comprehensible by the layman. For ease of learning by modern doctors, we proceeded from the current clinical practice and outlined the contents with Western disease names. There are more than 80 diseases discussed in this book. For each disease, the Chinese syndrome differentiation and treatment as well as modern diagnostic key points are provided, to make it more convenient for the readers to study and understand.The study of each disease should begin from its etiology, pathology and diagnostic key points, followed by the differentiated patterns and corresponding treatments. The respective points of caution for each disease should also be well-noted. Finally, the questions forming the “Daily Exercises” are useful for readers to check their comprehension and recall of the material. Given the chance, the theoretical knowledge should also be applied in clinical practice so that past knowledge is tested and new clinical knowledge and skills can be learned.This book is suitable for those who are enthusiastic about TCM and with basic medical knowledge, as well as clinical TCM doctors, nursing personnel and TCM students.

This concise text provides an essential treatment of thermodynamics and a discussion of the basic principles built on an intuitive description of the microscopic behavior of matter.
