Are we living with integrity? This is a question we need to ask ourselves before acceding to another person’s request and before committing ourselves to a course of action. Introspection is better than absolution.

The government’s statement of reasons for the new rules cites the work of KHN and The Guardian in tallying more than 3,600 health care worker covid deaths through April 8. Journalists documented far more deaths than the limited count by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which through May tallied 1,611 deaths on case-reporting forms that were often incomplete.
The Lost on the Frontline project documented early calls for better respiratory protection for health care workers than loose-fitting face masks, noted serious complaints to OSHA from hospital workers that went unaddressed and revealed repeated employer failures to report dozens of worker deaths. It also found that health care employers were often remiss in notifying workers about exposure to the coronavirus on the job.
Unfortunately during the last year, the world has been forced to literally wear a mask as a safety precaution during the pandemic. However when it comes to the history of my ancestors, the concept of wearing a mask meant something much different. Paul Laurence Dunbar is known for being one of the most influential African American literary scholars of his time. His passion for language and music, along with personal life tragedies have been the motivation behind much of his work. With regards to his poem “We Wear the Mask”, the style as well as the content provides a vivid reflection of the hardships people of color endured as well as how they dealt with restrictions that were placed upon them. The basis of the poem is the immense suffering of blacks and the necessity of painting on a happy face as a survival tactic.
Dunbar “challenges the plantation tradition”…

One of the things Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Air Commodore Leonard Birchall is most remembered for is being the “Savior of Ceylon.” He was the pilot who warned the Allied forces in Colombo of the Japanese surprise attack that was on its way, thus allowing them to prepare and preventing a repeat of Pearl Harbor.
However, he showed the true breadth of nobility and valor of his character in Japanese prisoner of war camps over a period of three years, in which he saved many men’s lives and took many prisoners’ beatings for them.
Leonard Birchall was born in July 1915 in St Catharines, Ontario, Canada. After graduating from school he worked a number of jobs in order to pay for flying lessons. He eventually decided to embark on a military career, and enrolled in the Royal Military College of Canada in 1933, after which he was…

I don’t think books can change the world, but when the world begins to change, it searches for different books.

There is always a story associated with a great book that is not written in the book. The book ‘Summa de Arithmetica’ was written by famous Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli. The book is a symbol of enlightenment, written in the time when science met art. The story revolving around the book is as interesting as the book itself.
The middle age of human history is often termed the ‘Dark Age’. It was the time when superstitions and evil tyrants captured the world. Religious institutions were directly involved in administrating and influencing society. There were numerous wars and illiteracy. ‘Summa de Arithmetica’ was written when the world was on a transitional phase from the ‘Dark Age’ to the modern world. The transitional period is often called the era of…

Vegan potato dumplings with sauce
Prelibati senza uova, senza formaggi grattugiati nell’impasto.
Nulla da invidiare al tradizionale piatto, ma con questa variante si rischia di abbondare con la porzione! Ebbene sì perché non utilizzando grassi e proteine animali non ci si alzerà da tavola con quello strano senso di pesantezza, quindi siate generosi con i quantitativi che non ve ne pentirete! E vai con gli gnocchiii!!!
Ingredienti (per 2 persone):
140 g di farina di semola di grano duro
2 cucchiai rasi di farina di farro integrale (opzionale)
½ Cipolla rossa
Una piccola carota
Passata di pomodoro
Lievito alimentare in scaglie inattivo
Olio EVO
Sale
Cuocete le patate con tutta la loro buccia (dopo averle accuratamente lavate) mettendole in una pentola con acqua fredda, e portate ad ebollizione.
Fatele cuocere finchè la lama di un coltello non riesce ad entrare senza sforzo nel loro interno. Appena saranno cotte

A bird flew over the cuckoo's nest Nursing a little one at her breast. The bird saw clouds gamble with the morning sun Then the rain coughed up some codeine fun. A murmuration flew into the pouring rain Hitch hiking into an aeroplane. Flying west without any rest Getting wet in their best dressed. Cloudy, dowdy, summer storm In the lightening, a mushroom form. Cactus seed, cactus thorn Out of the thorn, a rose is born. In a garden full of thistledown Flowers wearing their scented gown. Yzaguirre, fire, electroshock A tub-room with a padlock. A psychedelic moment in the booby hatch Birds perched into a bird'-watch. #comedy #fun #movie
O machismo é um ‘ pré- conceito ‘ que nasce de uma idéia antecipada em nossa sociedade em relação a mulher. Muitas pessoas compreendem o machismo como um preconceito. Eu prefiro trabalhar a idéia de ” pré – conceito “, ou seja, o que é promovido como algo que tem uma origem anterior à aquilo que faço um juízo valor. Você por exemplo, se aprendeu a agir com preconceito, certamente, é porque uma pessoa, de alguma forma, ensinou com antecedência algo com o sentido errado pra você. Após isso, você criou as suas próprias suposições a respeito do que vê com descaso, ou falta de valor. A verdade é que ninguém nasce definido qualidades ou fazendo diferença sobre o que quer que seja. Todos nós aprendemos a fazer distinções de cordo com o que aprendemos ao longo de nossa trajetória. Veja, uma criança não sabe distinguir maldade de bondade, ela…
