♫ Herman’s Hermits Week — I’m Into Something Good ♫ | Filosofa’s Word

According to Peter Noone …

“On the record you can hear the enthusiasm of this band who believe that they were going to be heard on the radio. When the record was on the radio, we thought we’d made it.”

Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, both future members of Led Zeppelin, played on some Herman’s Hermits songs, but not this one.  This was Herman’s Hermits’ only song to reach in the UK, where it remains their best-known song. After it hit, the band went on tour in the U.S. with Dick Clark’s Caravan of Stars and made inroads in that country, where they were welcomed as part of the British Invasion. In 1965, they had two U.S. hits: Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter and I’m Henry The VIII, I Am.

Marii Freire – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Eu sou uma daquelas pessoas que, acredia sempre que é possível melhorar. Isso não é utopia, é visão de crescimento, do desejo e do “bom funcionamento da nossa sociedade” vou dizer assim. Creio que o despertar ainda que tardio, pelo menos, pela maioria das pessoas, é importante. Neste caso, digo que ele é necessário, justamente, para que se veja os grandes equívocos da história. Não basta falar, é preciso mostrar aos que não tem opinião formada, ou que ainda estão em fase de crescimento, o que é fundamental numa sociedade. Quando se trabalha uma pauta em questão, e isso condiciona a vida das pessoas, o essencial ou a resposta adequada a essa questão, não é limitar. Mas atualizar- se conforme as necessidades latentes. Por isso, se faz tão necessário as discussões com finalidade de trazer respostas assertivas. Creio que, a medida que você começa olhar para a realidade com esse olhar humanista, ao invés de querer impactar; você traz ciência as sombras de nossas necessidades. E diante de momentos de grandes incertezas, vale ressaltar que, para os que se dizem “donos de grande saber”, que há coisas que eles; talvez com o tempo, este, lhes tenha levado parte da memória, mas saúde boa, é sinal de bem-estar. E se a memória tem esse potencial voltado principalmente as grandes necessidades humanas, a gente consegue chegar a um denominador comum. Agora, não adianta querer trabalhar a ideia de retrocessos, de coisas que causam verdadeiros abismos entre nós, prejuízos as pessoas e, não oferecer para elas, aquilo que lhes é justo, a depender da situação ” humanitário ” . Todos nós podem trabalhar nesse sentido [ se quiserem].
É preciso só ter cuidado com o que se coloca como problema e analisar o resultado do que realmente se deseja alcançar.

Trump calls Jan. 6 rioters ‘warriors.’ Can the dog whistle be any louder? – Los Angeles Times

 

Donald Trump says the rioters who assaulted police officers in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot are “warriors.” That’s not just wrong; it’s dangerous.

On Jan. 6, 2021, more than 2,000 supporters of then-President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol, hoping to stop the certification of President Biden’s election. Many came armed with pistols, knives, baseball bats, metal pipes, stun guns, or bear spray, and used them to attack police. Some 140 officers were assaulted.

In the ensuing three years, prosecutors have charged more than 1,400 of the rioters. More than 100 have been charged with causing serious injury to an officer or using a dangerous weapon. Several dozen are in jail awaiting trial.

Daniel Rodriguez of Fontana pleaded guilty to stunning a police officer in the neck with a taser. A federal judge sentenced him to 12 years in prison.

Peter Schwartz of Owensboro, Ky., attacked police officers with pepper spray and a folding chair. He got 14 years, largely because he had 38 prior criminal convictions.

Christopher Quaglin of North Brunswick, N.J., tackled a police officer and choked him. A judge appointed by Trump called him “a menace to our society” and sentenced him to 12 years.

For months, Trump has called defendants like them “hostages” and “political prisoners,” as if they were being held unfairly by a repressive regime — a grotesque lie meant to attack the judicial system Trump wants to destroy.

But recently he gave the Jan. 6 attackers a more heroic title.

“Those J6 warriors — they were warriors,” the former president said at a rally in Las Vegas. “But they were really, more than anything else, they’re victims of what happened. All they were doing is protesting a rigged election.”

That’s quite a promotion. “Warriors” is a word Americans generally apply to members of the armed forces, not militants who attack police officers with bear spray…

Denmark’s Radical Plan for a Plant-Based Future

Trine Krebs is sometimes called “the leek woman,” or even Miss Dry-Legume, of Denmark. The 48-year-old has for decades traveled around the country as, in her words, a “food inspirer,” proselytizing about all things vegetables.

“It’s very important to have locally grown food,” says Krebs, who has a 12-hectare farm replete with 50 different vegetables on the outskirts of Copenhagen. “It’s something that I’m concerned about; what is seen in our landscapes.”

So when, in October 2023, the Danish government published the world’s first ever national action plan for shifting towards plant-based diets, Krebs was ecstatic. Finally, everyone else was catching up with her.

Under the radical policy, a new action plan will be published every year focusing on the most pressing priorities in combination with an overarching, multi-year strategy including government spending for what’s known as the Plant-Based Food Grant, in an effort to make the nation’s food systems more sustainable for the planet.

“Plant-based foods are the future,” announced Jacob Jensen, Denmark’s Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, at the time. “If we want to reduce the climate footprint within the agricultural sector, then we all have to eat more plant-based foods.”

Concretely, the Danish government has three main goals: to increase demand for plant-based foods, to develop supply for plant-based foods, and to improve how all the different stakeholders — from scientists to farmers and chefs, food sociologists, and nutrition experts — in this nascent domestic industry are working together.

The efforts to drum up demand focus on boosting plant-based food consumption in public and private restaurants, canteens and food services (public kitchens serve up to 650,000 meals to Danish people a day); the private consumption of plant-based foods by Danish people; and consumption in foreign export markets such as the UK. The supply efforts focus on raising the quantity, quality and variety of Denmark’s plant-based food production, with research and development set to play a huge role.

A Vote for Donald Trump is a Vote for Hatred, Bigotry and Fear | Aging Capriciously

I wrote this blog in 2016 before Trump was elected.  It is just as true now as it was then and it is just as relevant.  Please feel free to repost this blog, share it with your neighbors or share it with anyone dumb enough to plan to vote for Trump.

Habit Forming | From Behind the Pen

Habits. We all have them whether we are cognizant of how many we have or not. Now, this is not about those habits, you know, the clothing worn by nuns, but about our daily customs or practices. We develop routines, which inevitably become habitual. Yet, you can develop a good and healthy habit that can turn into a healthy and safe lifestyle routine. So often, unhealthy habits can create a cataclysmic effect on your overall well-being. Is there is a habit that you changed or maybe trying to break that has affected you or is negatively affecting your lifestyle?

 

You can always plug in or substitute a positive and progressive routine that morphs into a habit of hope which wipes out debilitating or destructive habits. When I worked on the changes I felt I needed to make in areas that impeded the progress I tried to make, I knew if I didn’t make immediate and necessary changes, I would remain in the ‘same’ place, just at a different time.

 

I also noticed if I tried to overdo or speed up my changes for long-term routines, I would fail and regress to my old methods of operation. But with bite-size digestible tweaks that developed into progressive and monumental changes for the better, I am not stressed or anxious but instead moved into my new frame of a healthy mindset and physical development.

If we have to make adjustments to break bad and destructive habits, let’s tackle those adjustments consistently and watch our routine’s progression reach heights it never before has. Our habits didn’t happen overnight. We consistently practiced these habits because we wanted to, whether or not they were unhealthy. The good thing about any habit that wastes our time, abuses our time, or consumes our time uselessly is that we can and must make up our minds to shift our gears and throw out the routine trash that backs up our mental, emotional, or spiritual pipes.
