Can anyone give me some information on Sphenoid Sinusitis?
The Sphenoidal Sinuses (or sphenoid) contained within the body of the sphenoid vary in size and shape; owing to the lateral displacement of the intervening septum they are rarely symmetrical. The following are their average measurements: vertical height, 2.2 cm.; transverse breadth, 2 cm.; antero-posterior depth, 2.2 cm. When exceptionally large they may extend into the roots of the pterygoid processes or great wings, and may invade the basilar part of the occipital bone. Each sinus communicates with the sphenoethmoidal recess by means of an aperture in the upper part of its anterior wall. They are present as minute cavities at birth, but their main development takes place after puberty.
What are some examples of times when you've wanted to intervene in a situation but didn't?
I think the toughest situations are ones that are not so clear cut. I think most responsible people will intervene if they witness a violent crime, or maybe not intervene directly but at least call the police (especially these days when everyone has a cell phone).Harder situations are ones where you feel someone is behaving badly or doing something that is wrong but it's not a situation where you would generally call the police. For example there have been several times when I have been in a store and seen a parent slap his/her child for misbehaving (which always seems to exacerbate the problem). Several times I have been in a store and seen someone being abusive and argumentative with the staff over things (like price or the length of a line) which that the staff member has no direct control. Usually in these situations I am left feeling sort of vaguely uncomfortable but the alternative of engaging with people who are already on edge and acting aggressively seems like a worse option.
What is one incident in your life when you feel proud, sad and disgusted because of that incident?
I’ve stayed in boarding for 10 years now, currently doing my post graduation. Fortunate enough to have received education from the reputed institutes. My parents have always directed me to the thought that education is wealth.So one fine day, I come home after giving my final exam. Happy and joyful as ever. My maternal aunt comes to visit me, asking me about my well being. I answer to all her questions with zest. My parents join our conversation.Aunt : So what are your future plans?Me : Planning to take a year break. I want to experience the corporate world and then go ahead with my management course.Aunt : You still want to study? Don’t you feel you should get married now?Dad(intervening the conversation) : She wants to study ahead. We are more than happy on what she’s chosen.Aunt : You should get her married. She’s a girl. It’s obvious that you have to take a lot of debts for her upbringing. Education will not yield you any returns. You will take your entire life to repay your girl child’s loan.Me and my dad looked at each other astonished. We didn’t even take efforts to explain it to her. We realised that some things in life are better left unsaid.This one incident is stuck to my mind. The words she uttered that day has made me more clear in life.That very day I was proud that my parents were wise enough to trust me and let me choose my aim in life. I was proud that my aunt’s words were not a barrier in life.I was extremely sad on how a girl is treated as a misfortune and burden despite being successful in all the fields.It obviously felt disgusting as to how a woman could tell this to other woman who wanted nothing but to prosper in life.All such people with degrading minds, all I want to tell you is that, “we are given a life to grab the opportunity, not to seek your choices.”
