Frostbiten i lysande höst, Tillbaka i verkligheten efter semestern

stefansphotos.se

Frostbiten är man alltid när det övergår i kallare väder och innan man vänjer sig så fryser man rejält! 4 minusgrader var det i Måndags morse när jag parkerade min elbil och huttrande begav mig hemåt, Samma temperatur i slutet av vinter månaderna känns nästan som t-shirt väder så kroppen den behöver lite härdning innan vi står ute med vinterkylan och kanske också att det behövs leta fram lite vinterkostym från garderoben

2 veckor frånfälle från jobbet det gör att man tappar minnet man kopplar bort helt från sia arbetsuppgifter och det är det som är tanken med en välbehövlig semester och det tar ett tag innan man är inne i arbetet igen, När jag under måndags natten kom in i en trapp och där det redan var utdelad tidningar! tänkta jag tar dom inte in tidningar under helgen.

Sedan gick ljuset upp en överhoppad port med paketutdelning och sedan…

A procura

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

O que é a procura?

A procura é um processo contínuo do encontro. Há consciência do que eu quero, do que preciso. Há também a intenção de exigir de maneira genuína aquilo que quero, a pausa entre o intervalo de inspirar e respirar. Respirar novamente, ajustar os passos e ir de encontro ao meu objeto de desejo.

Os olhos olham com suavidade sobre as minhas descobertas. Há uma expansão de pensamentos na direção do que eu quero encontrar.

A vida é seguir as muitas instruções, sendo elas boas experiências vividas ou não, a gente mergulha em marolas, ou mesmo, na profundidade do que somos. Mas, lembrando, seguindo um manual próprio. Conhecer a nós mesmos é uma provocação incessante – Eu quero quero, realizo. E toda procura termina, quando se encontra o que deseja. A faísca humana surge desse processo incessantemente que termina justamente, quando acaba a procura, porque se obtém…

(Me: Good job of promoting product but no mention of its effectiveness as compared to Pfizer and Moderna… that may be why it didi not get more funding)

Comforting Thought: Mitákuye Oyás

Content Catnip

“The phase Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ comes from the Lakota language and was part of the language of resistance used in the Standing Rock demonstration. Translated to English it roughly means ‘All my relations.’

“During prayers and meetings at Standing Rock, the Lakota people used this phrase when they wanted to speak or when they finished speaking. Listeners repeated it back to them to affirm they had been heard.

“Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ is a sign of respect and love, an acknowledgement that we are all connected to everything and everybody else. To the worms and slugs, as well as the eagles…to the brambles and the toadstools and the nettles as well as to the great redwoods and rainbows.

“Prayers extended to even those who opposed the action and who pepper-sprayed them. Their prayers are instead for the water and for the earth. It isn’t a war with a good side and a bad…

Quality Lemon Butter

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Equal Measures: Quality Lemon Butter! Is it a thick custard to be eaten plain? Is it creamy butter for freshly baked bread? Or is it frosting for a scone? You decide. I smothered a blueberry muffin with this citrusy spread. But then again, I also topped my morning yogurt with it. Talk about versatility. You can improvise with this luscious lemon butter in just about anything. Well, except broiled lobster or corn on the cob. That might be disappointing simply because this particular lemon butter has a sweetness to it that makes it more like a dessert than a condiment. Think lemon curd and you’ll be on the right track. Now let’s get started.

QUALITY LEMON BUTTER

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 egg yolk

1 cup sugar

2 lemons, grated peeling and juice

1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions:

In the top of a double boiler over…

Justice, Labor Departments Reach Settlements with Facebook Resolving Claims of Discrimination Against U.S. Workers and Potential Regulatory Recruitment Violations | OPA | Department of Justice

“Facebook is not above the law, and must comply with our nation’s federal civil rights laws, which prohibit discriminatory recruitment and hiring practices,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Companies cannot set aside certain positions for temporary visa holders because of their citizenship or immigration status. This settlement reflects the Civil Rights Division’s commitment to holding employers accountable and eradicating discriminatory employment practices.”

Under the DOL OFLC settlement, Facebook will conduct additional notice and recruitment for U.S. workers and will be subject to ongoing audits to ensure its compliance with applicable regulations.

“This settlement is an important step forward and means that U.S. workers will have a fair chance to learn about and apply for Facebook’s job opportunities,” said Seema Nanda, Solicitor at the Department of Labor. “No matter an employer’s size or reach, the Department of Labor is committed to vigorously enforcing the law.”
