O Sole Mio

The wine of the region is called lambrusco, a permissive and playful sparkling red, which you can also match with a fish such as eel. Good appetite

Modena, 2018

Îmi place să urmăresc interviuri despre cărți.

Într-unul pe care l-am văzut recent pe youtube, o înregistrare veche, actrița Simone Signoret spunea că, la fiecare cinci ani, recitește o carte care a marcat-o doar ca să vadă ce aspecte îi atrag atenția cu ochii altei vârste.

La fel îmi place să fac cu orașele.

Las să treacă un timp și revin ca să văd ce efect (mai) are ceea ce am văzut prima dată. Orașele sunt un fel de cărți.

Dacă apreciați aurul negru, cum i se spune oțetului de Modena, probabil ca veți fi curioși să aflați mai multe despre tentațiile gastronomice din partea locului. La fel, dacă sunteți amatori de mecanismele mașinilor de viteză. Sau de operă, fiind obârșia tenorului Luciano Pavarotti. Vivacitatea lui mi s-a părut dintotdeauna molipsitoare.

Day 14 of High School in Five Months, Arabic Numerals, and mass transit?

2,4,6,8… educate, educate, educate…

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Could we have transportation, public or otherwise, without a numbering system that allows us to calculate precise locations?  Decimal numbers, based on Arabic numerals, give us both precision and the ability, thanks to our positional numeral system, to express any number in fairly limited space (just try writing 10 billion in Roman Numerals!).  Our numbers, or rather, the symbols that we use to represent numbers, come from India via the Arabs, during the Middle Ages (“… up to the end of the fifteenth century“).  Any advocate for a democratic movement must both learn and share an understanding of number as system and statistic(s), for democracy to work well (there is also a need for good mass transit used by the middle classes, for a democracy to work well, but that is for another post, if you’d like):

Nurse Appreciation Week — By Hook Or By Book

In addition to it being Teachers Appreciation Week, Wednesday was Cinco de Mayo (which I apologize missing) and Thursday marked the start of Nurses Week with this year’s theme being Frontline Warriors, for obvious reasons. I’d like to thank all the nurses who have sacrificed their time, and in the course of this past year, […]

« ¡Se olvidaron rápidamente de la belleza del bosque! »

Barbara Crane Navarro

«Comenzaron a arrancar minerales del suelo con avidez. Construyeron fábricas para fundirlos y fabricar grandes cantidades de mercancía.

Se dijeron a sí mismos: ¿nuestras manos no son tan buenas para hacer estas cosas? ¡Somos los únicos tan inteligentes! ¡Somos verdaderamente gente de mercancía!

Proliferaron el dinero por todas partes. Como querían poseer toda esa mercancía, fueron llevados por un deseo ilimitado.

Fue con estas palabras mercantiles que los blancos empezaron a talar todos los árboles, a maltratar la tierra ya contaminar las aguas.

Lo hacen por celos por el oro. »

Distilled Existance

Grounds For Hope

Tranquility is what I need.
Tranquility is what I’m after.
To find a sense of peace, 
Collect the pieces of the life that shattered. 

Revival of my inner self. Revival of my own existence
Is what I need. Is what I’m after.
But memories of you persist,
The imprints indelibly plastered. 

Awakening is what I feel
Awareness about your presence.
Deepened by silence, magnified my sins
in blue -violet fluorescence. 

Serenity is what I need, 
Serenity is what I’m after.
A pause, a stop for which I plead.
Will all these find me? I wonder...

GOP lawmaker charged in Oregon Capitol protest has COVID – oregonlive.com

Nearman said he agreed with the radio host’s contention that the public is required by law and the state Constitution to be allowed in the building during a legislative session.

In January, after Nearman’s role became clear from the security footage, House Speaker Tina Kotek called for his resignation and stripped him of his committee assignments. She repeated the call after the Marion County district attorney filed criminal charges against Nearman on April 30.

“Rep. Nearman put every person in the Capitol in serious danger and created fear among Capitol staff and legislators,” Kotek tweeted.
