No more talc powder
“Apart from J&J not using talc anymore, it’s been at least two years since I’ve been able to buy any talcum powder. Some I learnt to use in the Army. We were issued with a particularly foul smelling product, called ‘Foot and Body Powder’, it was excellent for controlling tinea of all kinds. What now for all those serving, particularly in tropical and jungle conditions. It would be interesting to find out what levels of asbestos have been found in talcs. I do miss mine.”

Buddha’s teachings
“The article on wabi-sabi gives me a chuckle for its ability to elaborate on imperfection, impermanence, self-compassion, and acceptance without ever mentioning Buddhist Dhamma that has expounded and taught these practices for almost three thousand years.”

Thanks Charles!
“The Conversation has been hitting some winners. The articles on Australia charting a new course given the US’s direction, the decline of the Victorian Division of the Liberal Party over time and the multipolar international order that is not what Russia expected, are all very good and insightful. I hope students of international relations and political science take note.”
