Radley C., Slovenia: "We will all die. So, what is the quality of Western medical science that may be able to prolong for a little while our physiological functioning, but knows so little about comforting patients so that their certain death will be gentle. What benefit do I have from living longer, if this just means longer suffering."
Saremo tutti morire. Quindi, qual è la qualità della scienza medica occidentale, che può essere in grado di prolungare per un po 'il nostro funzionamento fisiologico, ma sa così poco di confortante pazienti in modo che la loro morte certa sarà dolce. Quali benefici ho da vivere più a lungo, se questo significa solo più danni.

Dhofar / Marbat
The wilayat of Marbat is on the central strip of the Dhofari coast and its name is believed to have come from marabat al khail (lit. place where horses are tied up).
Marbat was famed for breeding Arabian horses which were exported, along with frankincense, to India and East Africa. It has a spectacular landscape, from its coastline to the impressive peaks of Jebel Samhan, the highest of which stands at 4754ft.
The Citadel of Marbat was built in the traditional Omani style of defensive architecture, which is atypical of many of the structures built in the area.
Agriculture is a seasonal activity here, mainly confined to the Tawi A'teer region.
Beans, mangoes, cucumbers and corn are the main crops. Marbat is rich in natural springs, caves and grottos.
One of the most popular crafts is making majmars, the Dhofari-style incense burner, which are decorated in yellow, green, blue and red geometric designs.
They have a statistical approach to patients, just as do public health officials.
