Few people in the United States remember that one of the largest criminal conspiracies in history was committed against children in Oklahoma. The first woman elected to a state office, Kate Barnard, attempted to defend the mineral rights of over sixty thousand minors in the state. In the Gilded Age, she represented her faith and remembered that whatsoever you do unto the least of these, you do to Christ. This story is about one man named Eben trying to help one of those children. His name in Choctaw is Kowee, which means the Lion. Eben is a man of faith who lacks courage. He learns that it is often the faithful around us who lend us the support to step into the maelstrom.
On land freed from American Indians upon the orders of George Washington, the town of Ovid was formed in 1794, after military lots were numbered by Simeon DeWitt and his assistants. In 1860, construction was completed on three brick buildings that became known as the Three Bears, which served as the town's courthouse, eventually served as the Seneca County Seat, and now serve as the Town of Ovid municipal offices. Gradually, more settlers came, cleared land, built roads, started businesses, and founded churches and schools. Bordered by the Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, where barges were used to transport goods, the town developed a vibrant farming community with productive orchards and vineyards. Tourism flourished, and summer homes were built by those looking to escape the city. One of these summer homes was that of Herman Westinghouse, who worked together with his brother George Westinghouse on their company's myriad inventions.
Hypertension (HTN) is a major global public health problem. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Hypertension, which affects about 1.3 billion adults, is a major risk factor for many CVDs. Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to various adverse clinical conditions such as myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure and kidney failure. Despite the availability of cost-effective interventions for hypertension treatment, only one in five people with hypertension has it under control. As part of ongoing initiatives for countries to strengthen universal health care, the World Health Organization (WHO), together with ministries of health and other partners, has demonstrated the feasibility of using hypertension programmes in primary care as a pathfinder for universal health coverage. Improving service delivery for noncommunicable diseases is part of the WHO Thirteenth General Programme of Work and contributes to WHO’s Triple Billion Goal of having a billion more people with universal health coverage.
