The family of one stop road
I am the "regular customer" of the No. 12 bus, because I have taken the No. 12 bus for more than three years, before, almost every fixed "bus friend" I am very familiar with, but recently added a strange role. He is an old man in his 70s, his body bent, like an old "bridge". He was holding a senior citizen's pass, which allows people his age to ride for free. The car was very high, and every day the old man had to struggle to climb the steps and then move as quickly as he could to a seat by the window.

THE IMPACTS OF WAR ON CIVILIAN POPULATIONS
The psychological impacts of war on civilian populations are profound, often devastating, and far-reaching. Civilians account for the vast majority of casualties in war and they experience destruction, displacement, fear, and post-traumatic stress in the aftermath of war. It’s been estimated that nearly half of all people living in war-torn countries are affected by psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or substance abuse. War escalates existing mental health problems, and can create new health concerns, even in those who were previously healthy. Long-term studies have shown that exposure to war-related trauma causes a range of negative mental health symptoms. These can include anxiety, depression, intrusive memories, dissociative symptoms, insomnia, decrease in well-being, increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviour, and emotional numbing. It’s easy for anyone to understand how war can affect the mental health of individuals who are directly exposed to violence. But the effects of war on mental health can be far-reaching.

The incident occurred on Sunday morning, and since then, a massive search and rescue operation has been underway in the mid-Atlantic. The search area has been made difficult because of the location of the Titanic wreckage. Multiple US and Canadian ships and airplanes have been deployed to the area, but as of now, there is no sign of the missing submarine.
