🤨 Let's agree to disagree Doc. Who even requested this?? 😂

A photo from memories, captured in May 2023.

Everyone has a superhero. For any girl in the world, her superhero is her father.

He is our hero. He is a doctor. Before this ongoing genocide, he worked at Al-Shifa Hospital. He is a wonderful plastic surgeon, loves his work and is committed to it, to help people and relieve their pain.

When We were forced to be displaced to Al-Shifa Hospital at the beginning of the war, he was still committed to his work. He worked nonstop for 40 days, besides caring for his family, especially in these difficult times!

But unfortunately the occupation stormed and burned the hospital after We were forced to evacuate , raising white flags. We could not carry anything, just our souls. We fled to the south on foot. He carried his two children in his arms, and walked long distances for many kilometers during the afternoon among tanks and heavily armed soldiers, and even among decomposing corpses!

Finally, we reached the UNRWA school at Khan Yunis. He started working in Nasser Hospital, which the occupation also stormed and destroyed! Even when we were displaced, he was working.

All that happened did not stop him from performing his lofty job as a doctor. He has now returned to work in MOH hospitals to carry out operations of debridement and grafting of needy injured people, but he is alone, we are far from him.

He decided to protect us and made a decision to refuge in Egypt to be survived. While he stayed in Rafah before the beginning of the military operation there. Then he was forced to be displaced to Deir Al-Balah.

Every morning he goes to work at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis and returns to his tent in Deir Al- Balah in the evening all week.

Is this what we and he deserve?

We stay away from our hero and torn our family. While at the same time, he is putting himself in danger while saving innocent lives!

For your information, his profession is considered more dangerous than ever before, due to the occupation’s systematic policy of targeting hospitals and medical staff!

All the day, we are worried about him. May Allah save him. Moreover, there is no safe place.

We hope to reunite again, we want each other, we want our home and our dreams!

We need your help and support to meet our father again, reunite our family and rebuild our lives. Little matters! Your little means a lot to us.

Please, donate or reblog this with others.

Our story is here:

This was not our only tragic story in this genocide, every day was a struggle for survival!

Thanks!

On a recent Thursday afternoon, researchers Lanuza Faccioli and Zhiping Hu wheeled an inconspicuous black and white plastic cooler from an operating room at a hospital in downtown Pittsburgh. Inside was a badly scarred liver, just removed from a 47-year-old man undergoing a transplant to receive a new one from a donor.

But what if patients could avoid that fate? Faccioli and Hu are part of a University of Pittsburgh team led by Alejandro Soto-Gutiérrez attempting to revive badly damaged livers like these—as well as kidneys, hearts, and lungs. Using messenger RNA, the same technology used in some of the Covid-19 vaccines, they’re aiming to reprogram terminally ill organs to be fit and functioning again. With donor livers in short supply, they think mRNA could one day provide an alternative to transplants. The team plans to begin a clinical trial next year to test the idea in people with end-stage liver disease.

Alcohol use, hepatitis infection, and a buildup of fat in the liver can cause scarring over time. When there’s too much damage, the liver starts to fail. “Right now, if you get end-stage liver disease, it’s irreversible,” Soto-Gutiérrez says. “Well, we found that is not true. It is reversible.”

Soto-Gutiérrez and his team have been experimenting on rats and organs taken from people undergoing transplants at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, one of the busiest transplant centers in the US. To help design the mRNA and figure out how to deliver it to the human liver, they’ve partnered with Drew Weissman, a physician and immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania who won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his pioneering work on mRNA. Together, Soto-Gutiérrez and Weissman lead the Center for Transcriptional Medicine, launched in April with the goal of bringing these medicines to patients.

On the day I visited, I followed Faccioli and Hu through a maze of hallways until they deposited the freshly explanted liver at a pathology lab, where a team of scientists was anticipating the special delivery. After infusing the liver with an experimental mRNA therapy, they placed the organ in an oxygenated bath meant to maintain its function for several days.

A healthy liver is spongy and reddish-brown in color with a smooth appearance. But when the surgeons took this one out of the cooler, it was hard, marbled, and covered in bumps—evidence of cirrhosis, a type of end-stage liver disease. Over time, the man’s healthy liver cells had been replaced by scar tissue, and eventually, his liver stopped working. His only option was to get a new one.

Livers are the second most in-demand organ. In 2023, a record 10,660 liver transplants were performed in the US, driven in part by a steadily growing number of living donors. In a living liver transplant, a piece is taken from a healthy person’s liver and transplanted into a recipient. But even with this uptick in transplants, not everyone who needs a new liver receives one. Patients may have other health problems that disqualify them from a transplant, and others may die while waiting for one. In 2022, the latest year for which data is available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded nearly 55,000 deaths due to chronic liver disease.

Living donor transplants are possible because of the liver’s unique capacity to regenerate itself—more so than any other organ in the body. In a healthy person, the liver can regrow to its normal size even after up to 90 percent of it has been removed. But disease and lifestyle factors can cause permanent damage, rendering the liver unable to repair itself.

When Soto-Gutiérrez was studying medicine at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico, his uncle died of liver disease. From then on, he became dedicated to finding a treatment for patients like his uncle. In the early years of his medical career, he noticed that some patients with scarred livers were bound to a hospital bed waiting for a transplant, while other people with cirrhosis were walking around, seemingly living normal lives. He figured there must be cellular differences in these livers.

He teamed up with UPMC transplant surgeon Ira Fox to look for transcription factors—master regulators that can dial up or down the expression of groups of genes—that can potentially reprogram injured organs. Genes rely on transcription factors to perform many essential functions in organs. Together, Soto-Gutiérrez and Fox have analyzed more than 400 failing livers donated by transplant patients. When they compared them with dozens of normal donated livers that acted as controls, they identified eight transcription factors essential for organ development and function.

They zeroed in on one in particular, HNF4 alpha, that seems to act like a main control panel, regulating much of the gene expression in liver cells. In healthy liver cells, levels of HNF4 alpha were turned up, and so were other proteins it controls. But in the cirrhotic livers they examined, HNF4 alpha was almost nonexistent.

The team needed a way to get the transcription factor into liver cells, so they turned to mRNA technology. Used in some of the Covid-19 vaccines, mRNA is a molecule that carries instructions for making proteins, including transcription factors. In the Covid vaccines, the mRNA codes for a part of the virus known as the spike protein. When injected into a person’s arm, the mRNA enters cells and kicks off the protein-making process. The body recognizes these spike proteins as foreign and generates antibodies and other defenders against it.

The Pitt team is using mRNA instead to essentially turn back time in injured organs. “What we’re proposing to do with mRNA is use it to deliver proteins that have the capacity to repair those damaged liver cells,” Weissman says. “Our hope is that we can treat end-stage liver disease and turn the livers around, maybe forever, or at least until patients can get a transplanted organ liver.” Instead of delivering instructions for a foreign protein to generate an immune response, they’re delivering the genetic code for producing a transcription factor—HNF4 alpha.

In a paper published in 2021, the approach revived human liver cells in lab dishes. The researchers have since tested the mRNA therapy in rats with cirrhosis and liver failure. They treated a group of rats every three days for three weeks while a second group served as a control. The animals that were receiving the injection of HNF4 alpha started being more active. The untreated rats continued to decline and eventually died, the expected result at their stage of disease. Some of the treated rats were still living six weeks after receiving the mRNA medicine. Those results have not yet been published in a peer reviewed journal.

The team is also testing the mRNA infusions in human livers removed from patients undergoing transplants—the process I got to observe. Unlike live rats, explanted human livers can’t be observed for weeks on end. Livers have to be retrieved quickly and infused with the mRNA treatment soon after they’re removed from the body. They stay fresh for just four days or so in a preservation fluid. Six hours after the mRNA infusion, levels of HNF4 alpha start going up and last for two to three days. When HNF4 alpha peaks, other essential liver proteins, such as albumin, start to increase as well. That’s important, Soto-Gutiérrez says, because maintaining those protein levels could mean the difference between a patient needing a transplant or not.

Ideally, Soto-Gutiérrez says the mRNA therapy would be something patients could get once a week or every other week in an outpatient facility and go back home. But initially, they’ll need to test the experimental treatment in very sick patients, likely ones that are hospitalized, to make sure it’s safe. The team is gathering data from the rat and human liver experiments to submit a clinical trial application to the Food and Drug Administration in the coming months.

While livers are the first target, Fox thinks other injured organs may be amenable to this approach. “We’ve been wondering whether the same process might be taking place in other organs,” he says. Currently, the team is searching for similar transcription factors in lungs with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and kidneys with chronic kidney disease.

Josh Levitsky, a liver transplant specialist at Northwestern University who isn’t involved in the work, says new treatments for chronic liver disease are sorely needed. Current therapies can help slow down scar tissue buildup and ease symptoms but don’t address the underlying disease. “The concept of reprogramming and being able to reverse liver failure could be really game changing if it were to pan out in clinical studies,” he says.

But lots of questions remain. How much damage could be reversed? Would patients need to be on the therapy indefinitely? Or would their livers rebound enough to go off it? Could a liver ever be restored back to normal?

“It certainly has a lot of promise,” Levitsky says, “but the clinical development is going to take a long time.”

We hear about the surgeon of the first phalloplasty procedure, but we don't hear about the man under the knife Laurence Michael Dillon, or Michael Dillon (article)

Pink News Article about Michael

Commonly known as Michael Dillion, he was born in 1915 London, but grew up in Iceland.

After graduating university in 1938, he began to transition, and was prescribed hormone tablets (testosterone).

After a horrible experience working (being misgendered and mocked), he found a plastic surgeon who performed his top surgery and allowed legally change his name, with the note of the surgeon.

Some time after his transition, he became a follower of Buddhism and settled in a Buddhist colony without anyone knowing he was transgender.

And that's just a tiny snippet of his amazing, yet tragically short, life.

Be sure to check out the amazing articles I have found on him!

Annelise Hanshaw at Missouri Independent:

Missouri’s restrictions on puberty blockers and hormone treatment for transgender minors are constitutional and may remain in place, Wright County Circuit Court Judge Craig Carter wrote in a 74-page ruling Monday. Soon after the ruling became public, the ACLU of Missouri and Lambda Legal promised to appeal. The state’s restrictions on gender-affirming care, passed by state lawmakers in 2023, not only bar minors from beginning cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers and undergoing gender transition surgeries. It also blocks the state from paying for gender-affirming care for adults through Missouri Medicaid and care in state prisons. Many providers in Missouri have ceased offering gender-affirming care for minors, including patients that had begun prescriptions prior to the law’s effective date.

Plaintiffs in the case — which include gender-affirming health care providers, transgender minors and their families — had the burden to prove the statute “clearly and undoubtedly violates a constitutional provision,” the judge wrote. And because plaintiffs challenged the law in its entirety, they had to prove that there is “no set of circumstances under which the provisions would be valid.” Carter determined the challenge did not clear the high bar on multiple arguments, but the overarching debate looked at medical consensus on gender-affirming care. His ruling focuses on a U.S. Supreme Court precedent that allows lawmakers broad discretion in areas “fraught with medical and scientific uncertainty.” Carter concluded that there is “an almost total lack of consensus as to the medical ethics of adolescent gender dysphoria treatment,” granting the state legislature authority to ban the care.

[...] Apart from these concerns, Carter said three witnesses were particularly compelling: Chloe Cole, a young woman who transitioned as a minor in California and since stopped treatment and has spoken publicly about her regrets, along with bioethicist Farr Curlin and plastic surgeon Patrick Lappert, both who emphasized potential side effects of gender-affirming care. Because the risks were high for gender-affirming care, the treatment couldn’t be compared to experimental treatments with few known side effects, Carter wrote, and allowing teenagers to opt into an experimental treatment is dubious. “If we don’t let a 16-year-old buy a six pack of beer and a pack of smokes, or let an adult buy those items for them, should we allow the same kid/parent team to decide to change a teenager’s sex forever?” Carter wrote in his ruling.

Right-wing activist judge Craig Carter from Wright County issued a ruling in Noe v. Parson upholding Missouri’s hateful and discriminatory ban on gender-affirming care on minors and Medicare covering such procedures for adults.

Carter’s justifications for the ruling upholding SB49 was based on anti-trans pseudoscience.

"¹You'll never be Gwyneth Paltrow — sorry Meghan Markle... & ²Meghan Markle’s participation trophy case is starting to fill up."

Goopsie Daisy🤭

"Unlike many celebrities — ahem, the Kardashians — who are full of fillers, Ozempic and  bulls – – t, Paltrow is transparent about the ridiculous measures required to look like her. Her gaunt cheekbones are earned, not excavated by a plastic surgeon.

She’s also no Meghan Markle with her Tig — a pre-Prince Harry lifestyle blog 🤭🤭🤭🤭— which reportedly will be reincarnated to be a Goop knockoff.

Markle cries victim from her Montecito manse and has a “strange relationship to objective reality,”🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 according to a reporter, while other accounts have debunked her rags-to-riches story"

²Lying Meghan Markle shouldn’t be celebrated — sorry, Gloria Steinem

Kirsten Fleming April 4, 2023

Meghan Markle’s participation trophy case is starting to fill up.

It was announced Monday that she’ll receive the 2023 Women of Vision award from famed feminist Gloria Steinem next month.

Perhaps the committee behind the Women of Vision could benefit from a trip to the optometrist.

According to a new tax filing made public last week, Markle and her trauma-loving husband each put in only one documented hour of work a week for their Archewell Foundation in 2021.

That’s 52 hours a year on the books — the equivalent of one episode of “General Hospital” per week.

No, “She Works Hard for the Money” will not be the duchess’s walk-up anthem.

And for her all grit and toil, she’s getting a gala full of self-important, self-congratulatory virtue signalers to throw roses at her feet.

Markle — who never misses an opportunity to share her victimhood bona fides — is living the dream in Montecito, Calif. But the only work the “privacy”-obsessed Sussexes are doing is peddling family secrets to streaming services.

Great country, this America.The award comes courtesy of the Ms. Foundation, a Brooklyn-based organization which called Markle a “feminist, champion of human rights and gender equity and global role model.”

Well, she did write inspirational messages on bananas for sex workers.

And she used her 2019 trip to Africa to bemoan her VIP lot in life: She was “existing, not living,” she said, adding, “not many people have asked if I’m OK.”

As a working royal, she made sartorial sacrifices: wearing neutral colors lest she overshadow those higher on the Windsor food chain.

She can put the newest trophy between her Gracie Award for her Archetypes podcast and the Ripple of Hope honors she and Harry received in December for exposing structural racism within the royal family, according to Kerry Kennedy.emember that brave Oprah interview where she accused an unnamed family member of commenting on how dark Archie’s skin would be?

During his media tour for “Spare,” Harry denied calling his family racist, saying: “No, I didn’t. The British press said that. Did Meghan ever mention that they’re racist?”

Maybe she didn’t use the r-word, but her comments virtually set the palace afire — and secured the couple a spot on the red carpet to be fêted by emcee Alec Baldwin, whose Massachusetts-born wife still insists she’s Spanish.

Meghan is, however, well deserving of a Whopper Award for her numerous royal tall tales, including gushing to the Cut that a South African cast member of “The Lion King” compared her to Nelson Mandela.He said, ‘I just need you to know: When you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison,'” she told the mag.

Of course, the only South African male in the show called the claims “baffling.”

Then there’s the bizarre story she told Oprah about marrying Harry in secret before her fairy tale wedding, which the Archbishop of Canterbury categorically denied.

And she has no competition for this year’s Wah Award bestowed upon the whiniest in the land. The Wah Academy couldn’t ignore her inspiring whingefest about the indignity of being a suitcase girl on “Deal or No Deal” on her podcast.

We all know these honors are empty accolades meant to sell tickets to pricey dinners, raise funds and profiles.But in a time that has been so consequential for females — the reversal of Roe v. Wade, the inability of officials to actually define a woman and biological men invading women’s sports — perhaps there’s another lady who is more deserving.

Maybe one who punched in more than an hour’s work. But the schlubs who do the real heavy lifting in life never get the credit.

The “unique” view of doctors on Gaza

Canadian doctors are being tapped for evidence in war crimes case against Israel ⋆ The Breach (breachmedia.ca)

The International Criminal Court has ramped up its activities in the past few days, with reports that the Israeli government is concerned about prosecutors issuing arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top cabinet ministers. Staff at hospitals in Gaza were also interviewed by ICC war crimes prosecutors this week, but there are no identifying details available because of risks for witnesses. 

“The ICC basically is investigating a crime scene without access to the crime scene…it obviously means that certain types of evidence are not immediately available to it,” said Mark Kersten, an assistant professor of criminal justice and criminology at the University of Fraser Valley, whose research focuses on international law and the investigation and prosecution of war crimes. 

“Doctors are in a very unique position to see victims and survivors of atrocities almost immediately after they have been harmed. What they are seeing is stuff that the ICC cannot see.” 

Forensic Architecture is a multidisciplinary group of researchers based at the University of London, that uses architectural technologies to investigate instances of state violence around the World. The group used Ge’s testimony in a report published last month titled ‘Humanitarian Violence: Israel’s Abuse of Preventative Measures in its 2023-2024 Genocidal Military Campaign in the Occupied Gaza Strip’, and continued to interview doctors after it was published. 

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians is composed of lawyers, academics and politicians—including two Canadian lawyers—that in January filed a complaint with UK police’s war crimes unit against Israel and prompted an investigation. 

Neither of the two people who interviewed the doctors agreed to be quoted for this article, and officially the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians said they cannot speak publicly about their evidence collection “because this is an ongoing investigation.” 

An interviewer for International Centre of Justice for Palestinians said some witnesses they speak to will go on to testify at the International Criminal Court. The Centre  has already facilitated one such testimony, he said, with UK-based plastic surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta providing his statements to both The Hague and to the British Scotland Yard’s war crimes investigations unit. 

According to international media reports, Scotland Yard’s war crimes unit has been collaborating with the ICC to investigate war crimes committed by Israel and Hamas since Oct. 7. 

Within the first five days of the war, there were 13 Israeli air-strikes on healthcare sites in Gaza, and as of May 1, 491 health workers have been killed.

Happy Trans day of Visibility to my Trans siblings.

In honor of this day I'm making myself extra visible and showing my transition so far so enjoy.

Here we have me Freshman year of High school about eight years ago, I didn't know what being transgender was, but I knew the long hair and dresses I was expected to wear weren't me.

Fast forward to sophomore year not pictured above, I cut off all my hair and figured out what it means to be transgender, but I didn't think that was me. When junior year came around I started toying with neutral pronouns and trying to look more masculine. In the summer before senior year I got my first chest binder and was so happy. I was still going by my birth name but was trying to get people to use neutral pronouns for me. In many ways I was figuring myself out.

In June of 2020 I graduated after having my four months of high school taken from me and spent a year at home doing nothing but figuring my self out. I figured out my new name and when I finally got my first job I went exclusively by my preferred name at work.

In 2021 my family moved from our home in Oregon to Nevada where I started a new job and was quickly accepted by my coworkers. I made few friends at the job who helped me with some tough stuff but I got through it. I even felt confident enough to petition for my legal name change. So as of July 11th 2022 it's no longer just my preferred name, it's my legal name and it feels amazing to be called Newt everyday of my life.

In July of 2023 after four years of being openly trans and nonbinary, I finally came out to my doctor deciding I was ready to face the medical side of my transition. After being told by the plastic surgeons office I would need to do a year of hrt before I could even be seen by the surgeon, I took a few months to think about what I really wanted. I have wanted top surgery longer than I've none I was trans even if I didn't know that's what it was called but I was nervous about doing Hrt.

Finally in October of 2023, after so much debate and talking with other trans people, I decided hrt was the right choice for me. Not just because it's a requirement for top surgery but I want to sound and look more masculine and hrt can help. So by the end of October I started hrt and now five months later I'm so happy even with the small changes I've seen. I've started growing facial hair and my face is looking more square, my voice is starting to crack every now and then. I'm feeling so much happier with this choice.

If you told this eight year old that in fourteen years they would be going by a different name and dressing the way they want with out any one telling them no, they wouldn't believe you. But here I am, 22 and so proud and happy to have finally found a community that accepts me for me and doesn't expect me to fit in a box.

So I say this to every person who may be questioning they're gender or any other part of their identity, It will happen. You'll figure it out eventually, be it today or ten years from now, You will find your place and be so happy with what you find. Don't worry if it takes time or you switch things up all the time, life's an adventure and only you can decide where it takes you, no one can tell you who to be.

Any way have an amazing day and know no matter how you Identify you are loved.

Excerpts from When the River Meets the Sea

For Winter Wonderklok 2023 Day 24: Toys for Tots

It's a loose interpretation. Chapter 9 was posted today! Here's a section I like, and the matching setup from Chapter 7.

crossposting: ao3, Chapter 7, Chapter 9

synopsis: Nine-year old Pickles has a floor full of broken toys.

cws: Molly's a bitch.

From Ch. 7

“So when you gonna shovel out the driveway?”

“I’m not.” Pickles shot back as he bent down and shook the snow off his hat. “Mom said-”

“I didn’t ask you what mom said, did I?” Seth grabbed the back of Pickles' snowsuit and jerked it up and around until Seth was inches from Pickles’ face. The game hadn’t really stopped, but with two people arguing by one of the goals, the rest of the neighborhood boys stood around and watched the sun shine helplessly on the snow-burdened, slumping cedar trees in neighboring yards.

“I’m not gonna shovel the stupid driveway!”

The white snow sparkled with such a sincere invitation that Seth couldn’t help but kick Pickles in the back of the knees, but before he could do much of anything else Michael Jones’ mom poked her head out of her door, swathed in her own winter fleece housecoat and slippers, but with a silk scarf over her hot-combed hair.  And Michael’s mom wasn’t afraid to pull out the phone book and find your parents. And if they hung up on her, she’d write them. And if she wrote them and called them and what you did in front of her house was bad enough, she’d tell Mrs. Wallace or the grocer or even the Schwan's guy… Mrs. Jones would get you in trouble if she thought you deserved it, and not even Seth would test her this close to Christmas. At the sound of her screen door squeaking, everyone stood still.

Seth stood back, casting a shadow over Pickles when he stumbled back, after Seth used the same grip that held him close to shove him away. “So that’s how it’s gonna be, huh? Alright.” Without another word, he turned and left. Slowly, the game resumed, but Michael himself came outside, and he and Pickles and Rodney left the game to go sledding on trash can lids a couple streets over.

When he came back down the road, red-nosed and cold-handed, it was after lunch. He shed his boots and his snowsuit at the door, freeing his sweaty hair from his hat and flinging his gloves to the floor. Snow had managed to wiggle into the arms of his clothes, wetting his undershirt, so he went upstairs to change it while he shivered off the lingering cold in his legs and ears. Seth bounded down the stairs, shoving right past Pickles, with a pair of scissors in his hand.

The door to his room, typically wide open, was cracked. The inside was as dark as it usually was, but the outline of his plastic Millennium Falcon looked more like a microwave omelet maker than a blurry dinner plate on the ground. He turned the light switch on and almost gagged at the sight of it cracked in two parts, all the glued plastic joins popped-out, with shards of gray plastic spilling out of the splits. Around it lie the whole cast of Star Wars (at least, the ones Pickles had) in pieces, their arms and plastic boots scattered like they’d lain down on landmines. A couple heads were broken off, or marred by the force of two blades attempting to saw them in half.

He knelt, but he kept his breathy torment and pathetic tears in his hands. After all, they were only toys, right?

From Ch. 9

When her toilette was complete, Molly circled the house in freshly polished brown shoes. With only ten minutes left to spare before they had to leave, she was on a manhunt for Pickles. It was 6:30 A.M., which wouldn’t matter if only she’d remembered to make him put a bag together the night before. When she raced up the stairs to do it herself and find him later, she heard coughing. 

“Pickles, what are you doing with your toys? Get your medicine together to show the surgeon!”

Pickles was kneeling in front of the broken pieces of all his action figures, with Sam’s raggedy head over his shoulder. When he heard her, he came up on his feet and put Sam in front of his chest, but when he tried to skirt past her into the upstairs hall with his friend, she took a step to the side and blocked the doorway. 

“You’re not taking Sam to the hospital. They’ll burn him so you don’t bring him home covered with measles or some crap, and you’ll never get him back. Then you’ll have ruined all your toys. Don’t try it, mister, or you’ll be sorry. ”

The tears burned, too, but he refused to blink as he walked downstairs with his empty hands in his empty pockets.
