I am 46 years old, and it’s probably too late to go abroad. On the other hand, I am a principled and fair person. I really like the medical profession, I belong in it. I like working, talking with people, comforting them not only with medication, but also psychologically. And so I think: why should I leave Ukraine? Maybe you need to fight in order for everything to work out, for a normal healthcare system? And I ask my colleagues to fight for this, to respect themselves. My colleagues support me. Unfortunately, there is still fear. And this is the main problem – a consequence of having been intimidated for years.

My big fat Greek baklava
yum
Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry popular in Middle Eastern countries made of layers of phyllo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey.
Baklava is normally prepared in large pans. Many layers of filo dough, separated with melted butter are laid in the pan. A layer of chopped nuts—typically walnuts,pistachios or almonds is placed on top, then more layers of phyllo. Most recipes have multiple layers of phyllo and nuts, though some have only top and bottom pastry.
Greek version of baklava is made with 33 dough layers, referring to the years of Christ’s life.

ACLU Sues El Paso County Sheriff Over Jail’s COVID-19 Response – Colorado
The ACLU of Colorado filed a class-action lawsuit this Sunday against El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder for failing to provide adequate COVID-19 protections to inmates detained at El Paso County Jail. The lawsuit claims that the largest COVID-19 prison outbreak in the state is due to the sheriff’s failure to adhere to public health guidelines, which puts inmates at risk of serious harm or even death. The ACLU is asking for an expedited hearing and court order requiring the sheriff to comply. Source: ACLU Sues El Paso County Sheriff Over Jail’s COVID-19 Response
U.S. Bishop Chairmen for Pro-Life and Doctrine Address Ethical Concerns on the New COVID-19 Vaccines | USCCB (approves getting shots)
“In view of the gravity of the current pandemic and the lack of availability of alternative vaccines, the reasons to accept the new COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are sufficiently serious to justify their use, despite their remote connection to morally compromised cell lines.
“Receiving one of the COVID-19 vaccines ought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community. In this way, being vaccinated safely against COVID-19 should be considered an act of love of our neighbor and part of our moral responsibility for the common good.”
With regard to the AstraZeneca vaccine, the bishops found it to be “more morally compromised” and consequently concluded that this vaccine “should be avoided” if there are alternatives available. “It may turn out, however, that one does not really have a choice of vaccine, at least, not without a lengthy delay in immunization that may have serious consequences for one’s health and the health of others,” the bishop chairmen stated. “In such a case … it would be permissible to accept the AstraZeneca vaccine.”
COVID-19: Riverside County hits 0% ICU capacity – California
Riverside County’s intensive care unit capacity fell to almost zero on Monday, the public health department said, while the larger Southern California region designated by the state under COVID-19 protocols fell to 2.7% ICU capacity.
In total, Riverside County reported 930 people hospitalized with COVID-19 on Monday, with 184 in ICU, across 21 hospitals. That was up from Friday’s record-breaking 809 hospitalized across the county, with 170 in ICU units.
Although the county put the capacity at 0%, county spokesman Jose Arballo said during a 4 p.m. news conference: “We’re not at zero — we’re close.”
Lee Rice, a spokesperson for Eisenhower Health, said Monday afternoon: “Currently we have two staffed ICU beds available.”
Palenta s dimljenim sirom
Polenta with smoked cheese – select your language a the site.
VRIJEME: 20 minuta / PORCIJA: 4
- 200 gr instant palente
- mala veza žalfije, origana, bosiljka ili peršuna
- 200 gr dimljenog zrelog sira
- 1/2 kašike crnog ili miješanog bibera u zrnu
- 8-10 maslina bez koštice
Stavite palentu u šerpu s 850 ml vode. Zagrijte do ključanja na dobro zagrijanoj ringli, zatim, smanjite toplotu zagrijavanja i ostavite da se kuva 10 minuta, miješajući često palentu drvenom kašikom. U međuvremenu, operite i osušite začinsku biljku, otkinite listove i sitno isjeckajte. Izrendajte ili isijecite na kocke dimljeni sir i izdrobite biber u zrnu. Sitno nasjeckajte masline.
Kada palenta postane gusta i počne da postaje čvrsta, umiješajte u nju začinsku biljku, dimljeni sir, biber prema ukusu i masline. Dobro mutite dok se sir ne sjedini s palentom, a mješavina ne počne da se odvaja od ivica posude prilikom miješanja.
Odmah poslužite ili ostavite da stoji 5-10 minuta da se dodatno stvrdne. Palenta će ostati topla.

{The operative note: “The attack on SolarWinds appeared to grant hackers potential access….” There is no information yet if anyone got access to any sensitive information but it is a scary sounding story that certainly supports the interests of cybersecurity contractors and cybersecurity researchers to call attention to cybersecurity issues. So let’s wait and see what the investigation finds before we demand that millions be spent to make things “safer.” Grin.)
