Immunologist Akiko Iwasaki: ‘We are not done with Covid, not even close’ | Long Covid | The Guardian

According to the most recent estimates, more than 65 million people worldwide may be living with some form of long Covid, a startling number that will only continue to increase, given the lack of available treatment options.

One of the scientists leading the race to try to unravel the complexities of long Covid is Akiko Iwasaki, an immunology professor at Yale School of Medicine.

Del poema

Del poema, una vez escrito con tanta inspiración y entrega, quizá una mañana nebulosa y fría o tal vez una noche estrellada y envuelta en rumores y en silencios, en lluvia o en viento, quedan, parece, hojas rotas, páginas mutiladas, palabras indescifrables que naufragan en los sentimientos y en la memoria, como los pétalos marchitos que no pueden evitar su fatal caída al desprenderse de la flor que una vez se entregó con ilusiones y suspiros. Pétalos que desean permanecer entre las páginas de algún libro o en el rincón sombrío de un baúl, con los recuerdos de sus perfumes, texturas y colores de antaño, acaso con el objetivo de perpetuarse. De los poemas que, alguna vez, el artista escribió con tanto esmero, en ocasiones, al transcurrir los minutos y los años, se conservan los fragmentos de papel con…

Overscheduling on SoL Saturdays

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

    Today is SoL Saturday, for remembering to share freely on what a Statute of Limitations is, and how to find them, especially the debt related SoLs, for your state, District, or  territory.  Reminder done.   Now to today’s post:  The featured image for today is a calendar that I drew up several years ago, hoping to fix in my mind all of the various major calendars (Islamic, Hebrew, and Gregorian) together with the Holocene Calendar.   Maybe this was planning a bit too much to do in too little time, without leaving space for the larger picture… This calendar was meant to help me schedule in all of my daily tasks, back in 2018 and over that next year and a half, to remember to work up to starting to learn to read ancient farsi or Persian (so that I could read Rumi), after writing my second novel…

Book Notes, & Embarrassing Myself With A Poem

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

     From my research notebook!  Apparently jotted down in 2010 as I took notes for the DC Black-Jewish cooperation tours I was creating.

My mouth longs to glide

over poem and song.

To wrap my tongue

around each word.

To caress the hips

of every letter.

To kiss the liquid sounds

savoring each syllable.

     What I found in my research notes, btw, was interesting, but I have no where to put this interesting bit of information that is too small to write up as an article, given that I don’t even know whether or not I finished reading this book:   “On P.  5 of his 2005 book Creating Diversity Capital: Transnational Migrants in Montreal, Washington, and Kyiv, Blair Ruble mentions something that he calls  “Pragmatic Pluralism” and says that every city needs to have a large  tolerance for diversity, which expands that city’s ability to adapt…

Don’t complain, Don’t explain

Anita's Perspectives on Life

In our family’s realm, where hearts unite,

Generations mingle, like stars in the night.

With varied views and thoughts held dear,

We cherish the bond that draws us near.

Let us weave a rule, a gentle decree,

That honors our differences, sets us free.

We will never complain, never explain,

And enter the serene autumn of our life.

Respecting the wisdom of those who came before,

And embracing the dreams of those who explore.

Let’s forge a path where opinions may clash,

But love remains constant, an unyielding flash.

For strength lies not in sameness alone,

But in the harmonious chorus, we’ve known.

Let tolerance be our guiding light,

With empathy, understanding, always in sight.

Kindness begets bonds that never fade,

And bridges the gaps where opinions are laid.

With open hearts, let’s listen and learn,

The young and the old, the meek and the stern.

May our diverse personalities…

Hoje eu acordei com os sonhos cheios de bagagem. Uma vida inteira precisa ter muitos sonhos. Todavia, você precisa saber selecioná- los para que na hora de procurar no meio daquela tralha toda,saber exatamente onde encontrar aquele que faz a vida valer o oxigênio que você respira.
