Squint : My Journey with Leprosy
Lying in a hospital bed, José P. Ramirez, Jr. (b. 1948) almost lost everything because of a misunderstood disease.When the health department doctor gave him the Handbook for Persons with Leprosy, Ramirez learned his fate.Such a diagnosis in 1968 meant exile and hospitalization in the only leprosarium in the continental United States--Carville, Louisiana, 750 miles from his home in Laredo, Texas.In Squint: My Journey with Leprosy, Ramirez recalls being taken from his family in a hearse and thrown into a world filled with fear.He and his loved ones struggled against the stigma associated with the term ""leper"" and against beliefs that the disease was a punishment from God, that his illness was highly communicable, and that persons with Hansen's disease had to be banished from their communities.His disease not only meant separation from the girlfriend who would later become his wife, but also a derailment of all life's goals.In his struggle Ramirez overcame barriers both real and imagined and eventually became an international advocate on behalf of persons with disabilities.In Squint, titled for the sliver of a window through which persons with leprosy in medieval times were allowed to view Mass but not participate, Ramirez tells a story of love and perseverance over incredible odds.José P. Ramirez, Jr., is a social worker in Houston, Texas. He has written articles about Hansen's disease for the Houston Chronicle, the Star Magazine, the National Association of Social Workers Newsletter, and other publications.

Does one squint when they have poorer vision in one eye?
Yes, squinting can be a natural response to poorer vision in one eye. When one eye has poorer vision, the brain may try to compensate by squinting to reduce the amount of light entering the eye and improve focus. This can help to temporarily improve vision in the affected eye. However, squinting is not a long-term solution and it is important to seek professional help from an eye doctor to address any vision problems.

'How do kittens squint?'
Kittens squint by partially closing their eyes, often in response to bright light or when they are feeling content and relaxed. This squinting behavior is a natural protective mechanism to shield their eyes from excessive light and to show that they are feeling comfortable and at ease. It is also a sign of trust and affection when a kitten squints at their human or another animal.

Why do Persian cats squint?
Persian cats often squint due to their facial structure and the shape of their eyes. Their flat faces and prominent noses can cause their eyelids to close partially, giving the appearance of squinting. Additionally, their long fur around their eyes can sometimes obstruct their vision, leading them to squint in order to see better. It is important to monitor their squinting to ensure it is not a sign of any underlying health issues.

Do I have a squint?
I am not a medical professional and cannot diagnose medical conditions. If you are concerned about having a squint, I would recommend consulting an optometrist or ophthalmologist for a professional evaluation. They can assess your eye alignment and provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan if necessary.

Aviation Design and Innovation
In order to facilitate the safe, efficient and cost effective exchange of passengers and cargo between ground and sky airports require the provision of adequate runways, aircraft manoeuvring areas, cargo sheds and passenger processing facilities.Airports are capital intensive facilities and planning errors which result in the over or under-provision of capacity are both costly and problematic to rectify and so understanding the optimal configuration of passenger terminals is paramount. Of course, the design of passenger terminal buildings is influenced not only by levels of demand, the commercial requirements of airlines and tenant companies, the availability of investment funds and political influence but also by the aircraft that will be using the facility both now and in the future.Indeed, the introduction of the first generation of passenger jets in the 1950s and higher-capacity wide-bodied aircraft in the late 1960s required not only the expansion of gate areas and passenger processing facilities but also the introduction of new technologies such as the travelator, the baggage reclaim carousel and the airbridge.The introduction of the A380 ‘Super Jumbo’ into revenue passenger service in 2007 similarly demanded a reconfiguration of the airports it serves and practitioners need to be cognisant of the options for accommodating a new generation of large aircraft. While large aircraft generally require a lengthy turn around period between flights and the extensive provision of expensive fixed ground support infrastructure, low cost carriers pursue a business model based on very short turnarounds and minimal use of airport infrastructure assets such as airbridges.One of the main challenges facing airport operators is how to accommodate the diverse and dynamic requirements of different operators and these issues are addressed in this Volume.Traditionally, aircraft were made and manufactured by small companies within one country but as costs have increased and technology has become more sophisticated, a relatively small number of manufacturers, which are supported by international supply chains, have come to dominate the commercial aircraft market. Originally, all aviation jet fuels were derived from crude oil.However, concerns about future oil supply and energy security combined with the need to improve aviation’s environmental performance and sustainability has driven the development of alternative fuel sources.However, the development and adoption of alternative aviation fuels is not straightforward and the Volume examines the opportunities and challenges of widespread biofuel adoption in terms of production capacity, emissions reductions, cost and commercial viability.The final essays in this Volume address business model innovation in the airline and airport sector and include considerations of the future evolution of low cost carriers, the potential for airline-airport alliances and the development of multi-airport multinational operating companies.

Why do I sometimes squint?
Squinting is a natural response to help reduce the amount of light entering the eyes, especially in bright environments. It can also occur when trying to focus on objects or text that are far away, as squinting helps to improve clarity and sharpness of vision. Additionally, squinting can be a sign of underlying vision problems such as nearsightedness or astigmatism, prompting the eyes to adjust in order to see more clearly.
