When the studio is pumping, it's a technicolor vision of cloth, paint, and piles of projects.

薩國甘蔗工悲歌 幫派暴力、不明慢性腎臟病威脅生命
凌晨4點和時間還沒有到天亮，薩爾瓦多首都聖薩爾瓦多，街上卻已充滿了小吃攤、趕著上學的中小學生，及通勤的上班族。…

Mysterious kidney disease goes global
The region in coastal Andhra Pradesh is at the heart of what local doctors and media are calling a CKDu epidemic. There is little rigorous prevalence data, but unpublished studies by Gangadhar Taduri, a nephrologist at the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences in Hyderabad, in the neighboring state of Telangana, suggest the disease affects 15% to 18% of the population in this agricultural region, known for rice, cashews, and coconuts. Unlike the more common kind of CKD, seen mostly in the elderly in urban areas, CKDu appears to be a rural disease, affecting farm workers, the majority of them men between their 30s and 50s. “It is a problem of disadvantaged populations,” says Taduri, who is leading the team of researchers in the village.
A rash of similar outbreaks in other countries has underscored that it is a global problem. Some rice-growing regions of Sri Lanka have their own epidemic, and the disease is rampant in sugar-producing regions of Mexico and Central America (Science, 11 April 2014, p. 143). It has also been reported in Egypt. Just about everywhere, prevalence numbers are scarce and uncertain, but “there is a great deal of concern,” says Virginia Weaver, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland. “This is an illness that has substantial mortality. People who would [otherwise] be working, raising families, are dying. It’s quite extraordinary.”
CKDU 88.1 FM in Halifax - Real Radio for Real People
Guess what. I’m gonna be on the radio tonight from 8:00pm - 10:00pm AST.
I’ll be interviewing a local band and spinning songs from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, Green Day, Incubus, Rise Against, and more. It’s gonna be more... “funk-rock” than my usual show, but it’s always a good time.
