Jalapeno Popper — Tanooki Homemade Cafe

Happy Friday, 2 days before Super Bowl 2022!    Haha, even though my greeting sounds like I’m a huge fan of football, I enjoy it by hearing my neighbor’s cheering every year. The only time I watched the NFL Super Bowl was back in…maybe 7 years ago? One of my colleagues from my workplace invited […]

The RIT tool has already proven useful in providing clues about potential troop and equipment movement in western Russia where a huge build up of forces has taken place as the prospect of a war with neighbouring Ukraine has become a distinct possibility.

Put The Blame Where It Belongs

“CEO John Tyson made $13.74 million last year, an increase of more than 22% over the prior year, while Tyson employee’s pay increases averaged 9%.”

Filosofa's Word

Let’s talk about inflation for a few minutes.  Log onto any news site and you will see something about the current rate of inflation.  Many, even among the mainstream news, have chosen to blame President Biden, but they are turning a blind eye to the reality … it’s easier to pick on the president than do a bit of digging into the causes, right?

First, let’s narrow this discussion to the price of food, for everything else is irrelevant or unnecessary when you get down to the bare bones.  You have to eat, you must have carrots, but you don’t have to have that new pair of shoes or even the latest James Patterson book.  The grocery store is the one place where everyone, no matter their station in life, skin colour, religion, or gender is going to feel the pinch in times of high inflation.

Now … let me…

New penguin colony in Antarctica warns of climate crisis – Mágica Mistura 車

…For the past thirty years, Antarctica warmed up three times faster than the rest of the world. In February 2020, he beat the 20 ° C A record.

This disorder is caused by climate change and directly influences the behavior of some species. This is the case of Gentoo penguins, which are migrating to breed in regions further south of the continent, as researchers at Stony Brook University (United States) verified on an expedition by the NGO Greenpeace.

Scientists discovered a penguin colony on Andersson Island, on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula – a mountainous region close to South America. Until then, this area was too cold for penguins, who prefer milder temperatures to raise their young. Before, only one nest had been found in such a southern location. Now, the researchers have counted 75 puppies.

For the first time, scientists explored parts of the peninsula on foot where penguin colonies had been detected via satellite. Second Heather Lynch, the researcher who led the expedition, mapping these areas helps to understand how animals are responding to climate change :

“We are finding Gentoo penguins almost everywhere we look – more evidence that climate change is dramatically changing the species mix in the Antarctic Peninsula,” said Lynch…

«The Yanomami shamans who fight thexawaraepidemic see the disease’s image appear in the form of strips of scarlet fabric. Thexawaraepidemic is approaching and its smoke is glowing red! It is making the sky become ghost and is devouring all the human beings in its path! It must be driven away!»

Shamans in the Alto Orinoco region of Amazonas, Venezuela, describedoru a wakëxi –the gold smoke – to me in these terms decades before I read Davi’s words.

Erbe medicinali delle Alpi – Dalle erbe la salute

Lavanda – Lavanda officinalis

Habitat: zone aride montane, spontanea e coltivata.

È un’elegante pianticella cespugliosa, dai rami eretti e ramosi, che cresce spontanea e perenne nei luoghi aridi o sassosi o sui dossi bene esposti. È pure coltivata negli orti e nei giardini o anche su scala industriale per estrarne quell’essenza profumata nota ormai in tutto il mondo. Se la lavanda ci suscita cari ricordi di case ordinate e pulite, dei cassettoni delle nostre nonne nei quali la biancheria odorava di spigo, non di meno questa pianta possiede delle virtù medicinali non indifferenti.
Chi non ricorda il famoso “asedo de spic” che si preparava in primavera mettendo a macero un’abbondante manciata di fiori di spigo in un litro di aceto? Agli impacchi di questo aceto miracoloso si ricorreva per calmare un atroce mal di testa o un’improvvisa vertigine.
Ottimo anche l’olio di…
