Amor ou abuso: Por que a sociedade culpa a mulher por aceitar viver um relacionamento ioiô?

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Sabe aquele relacionamento que “vai volta?” É o relacionamento ioiô, nele as pessoas parecem não se entender. Você sabe o que é curioso, e tem até um pouco maldade? É o fato de que, a sociedade tende a culpar a mulher por aceitar viver um relacionamento abusivo. Este tipo de situação é permeada de manipulação emocional, onde esta vive, e na maioria das vezes, acredite: nem percebe que está vivendo, e envolvida numa trama de manipulação.

É sabido que nem sempre o relacionamento é visto como mar de rosas. E não é mesmo, porque para que ele seja bom para ambas as partes, esse casal terá que ter bastante diálogo, além de muitas concessões. Mas o que muitos não veem é que grande parte das relações amoras são cheias de desentendimentos. Em geral, isso ocorre porque às vezes “um quer uma coisa, e o outro quer outra” e no…

        Trains have always fascinated me. How could a big piece of machinery travel so far on slim rails and tiny wheels? There was something about seeing that bright red caboose that thrilled me. It may have been last, but it is forever memorable. Of course, there were other more subtle colored cabooses but the red popped like magic on the rails. Until the 1980s, laws in the United States and Canada required all freight trains to have a caboose and a full crew on board for safety reasons. In an effort to save money with the advancement of technology, railroad companies stated that cabooses were unnecessary, and the caboose was thereby derailed.

        Growing up, our neighborhood was sliced in half by the freight train tracks allowing these trains to roar to their destinations while rumbling the walls of those…

P&G wants to save more water than it and we use. How is that possible?

Darcy Hitchcock

Proctor and Gamble makes a wide range of household products, from laundry detergent to shampoo. These products not only require water to make; they also require water to use. P&G wants to restore at least that much water. How?

First a quick reminder. All the water on earth is all the water there is. We don’t make water; we simply recycle it like nature does in the hydrological cycle. Humans, though, have a tendency to pollute the water (eg, through chemicals in fracking, dog poo, or leaking septic tanks) or move it away from its watershed (eg, piping the Colorado River water to Los Angeles, bottling water or exporting food crops.)

Sampling of P&G brands from their website: https://us.pg.com/brands/#Hair-Care

So how can P&G restore all that water that the company and we use associated with their products? Three ways.

Water efficiency

The first step is water efficiency in their own…

Entire Miami Valley now at ‘high’ community COVID level (Southern Ohio)

Previously, Greene and Montgomery counties were the only two local counties at a high community level. But with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest update Thursday, Butler, Clark, Champaign, Darke, Miami, Preble and Warren counties were also moved to high. When determining community levels, the CDC looks at the number of new coronavirus cases per 100,000 people in the past week as well as new COVID hospital admissions and the percent of staffed inpatient hospital beds occupied by coronavirus patients.
