Can heroin addiction be cured by breaking the addict's back at the base of the spine?
This is mentioned in Stephen King's The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three. "...where it was really coming from, he knew from what he had read in the medical journals, was from the bunch of living wires at the base of his spine, that place where heroin addiction takes place by causing an unnatural thickening of the nerve stem. Want to take a quick cure? ... Break your spine, Henry. Your legs stop working, and so does your cock, but you stop needing the needle right away." If you have an answer (preferably with some proof) it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

How do I get addicted to Reading?
Improve your reading skills. In order to build your reading habit and enjoy your reading to the fullest, begin practicing good reading skills. For example:Read for content. When you read, read for the main idea of each paragraph, along with its supporting reasons. When building up lapsed reading skills, it can be helpful to read with a pencil in hand to take notes or underline the key idea of each paragraph.Look up unfamiliar words. Merriam Webster online is a wonderful and thorough resource for defining unfamiliar words. Simply underline or make a list of unfamiliar words. When you reach a good stopping point, return to each word and look it up, re-reading the sentence it appeared in. This helps contextualize the word and its usage in case there are multiple meanings.Learn to appreciate context. When encountering unfamiliar words or ideas, often the literary, historical, or social context of the text can offer clues as to what the character or writer is talking about. This may require a small amount of outside research to become informed on the different levels of context presented by a text.Become familiar with literary devices. Particularly if you are a fan of novels and short stories, becoming familiar with common literary tactics is an important part being a better reader. Understanding common tools like metaphor, hyperbole, parallel structure, personification, and alliteration can enrich the reading experience significantly.Don't rush. Reading for learning and enjoyment is never a sprint. Instead, take your time, nurture your skills and their development at your own pace. Do not get discouraged if you are a slow reader, especially at first. Each day, as you read, your mind will take the reading tactics it learned before and apply them again, often with greater efficiency
Can a GPS tracking device work without SIM card? What is the principle on which it works?
Absolutely a GPS can work without a SIM card. Actually the GPS and the SIM don’t have any overlap in what they do in a device. The GPS receiver calculates a position. But the GPS receiver is just a receiver, it cannot send information. That’s where the mobile phone technology comes in. Sometimes that requires a SIM card but it can also be accomplished with certain components that negate the need for a SIM card while still sending data via a mobile phone network. At my company, Telemetry Solutions, we build GPS receivers that use various radio technologies to send GPS location information from the device to the users. We also use satellite modems to transmit GPS location information globally.

I think my girlfriend may be becoming a cocaine addict, advice?
I've been with my girlfriend for 5 years now, our life was going well, we were planning moving out together and starting a family, marriage. We were growing up (we're 23 by the way, both of us). This was all well and good, until an old friend of hers who she used to spend a lot of time together with has got back in contact after his life hit the skids. Without going into detail about him, he's a cocaine addict. Which is where the problem lies. He has a group of friends that my girlfriend has gotten into being friends with (which isn't a problem) but the fact that they all do coke is a major problem for me. Well after being round his house alone one day, she ran me when she was headin home, and told me that he pressured her into trying cocaine. She told me at the time that it "did nothing for me" which I was slightly annoyed that she'd tried it, as she always healed scorn on her friends that did this drug, and many other drugs, it was never her doing them. She revealed to me a few days ago that when she was out with this group last week she did cocaine "properly" they bought £50 worth between the 3 of them, and done the lot. She told me that she enjoyed it a lot, and said she was going to do it socially with them from now on. Which might I add disagrees with me. I told her the whilst I disagree with her doing it socially, that i'd rather she never did it whilst I was around them, or offer it to me. She also told me that she "wouldn't get addicted" and "would only do it with friends" which I didn't appreciate her saying, as I realise how easy it is to get addicted to drugs. They're class A for a reason. She has bought herself a small glass jar in which to keep it in, which further suggests to me that she will be buying it awayfrom her friends and doing it alone. I've also noticed she has been suffering symptoms of cocaine use, (which I realise could be a coincidence, given the weather) I know it's a bit longwinded, I just feel she's getting in with the wrong crowd, and doing drugs is part and parcel of this. I hate drugs, they've split my family in 2, and now they're about to destroy my relationship, I'm really at my wits end. I just feel bad when she's out with friends without me, and I do worry she could overdose and do herself some real harm. Thanks if anyone does take the time to read this.
