Crush Syndrome, Ebola and Eyes, Sommardojorna

Crush Syndrome

In response to a massive injuries, the body releases toxins which can cause the kidneys to shut down as they try to filter them out of the blood.

Ebola and Eyes

It's possible for Ebola to remain in the eye even though the person is clear of it in their blood. For the case mentioned in the linked report, it was not present in tears or other external bodily fluid so it would not be spread by casual contact.

Sommardojorna

Today I learnt some Swedish slang which my mother-in-law used when changed her winter tyres to summer tyres. The word she used was sommardojorna. Sommar is summer. Dojor is slang for shoes and it comes from a language used by chimney sweeps to communicate while inside someone's house.

Swedish, TypeScript, Control

1. Cheese Plane

I lived in Sweden for seven or eight years. For some things which I hadn't seen before in England, I use the Swedish word. Osthyvel is one of these things.

I suppose you could say it's a cheese slicer but there are so many different ways to slice cheese, and this is a particular tool. Well, today, while looking for microplane zesters, I stumbled across an osthyvel at Ocado. They call it a "cheese plane" which is so much more precise than cheese slicer.

2. TypeScript

You can use classes in TypeScript along with private and static. Static properties and functions live on the class, and are shared between all instances. If you make a variable private, then it will only be accessible from within the class.

3.High Control Groups

Four tactics used by high control groups, such as cults, are:

• Behaviour control,
• Information control,
• Thought control,
• Emotional control.
