Ok, this collage keeps giving me 5 separate images when I click on the jpg in Media, despite having saved it as one image.

Ok, so it will let me do an insert, but I cannot seem to get the link url from WP media. Interesting. But, as a Project logo, how is it?

Sêneca

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Você vive como se estivesse destinado a viver para sempre, nenhum pensamento sobre sua fragilidade entra em sua cabeça, sem dar atenção para quanto tempo já passou.

Desperdiça tempo como se ele tivesse um suprimento completo e abundante, embora aquele dia que você concede a alguma pessoa ou coisa possa ser seu último.

Você tem todos os medos dos mortais e todos os desejos dos imortais. Ouvirá muitos homens dizendo: ” Depois de meu quinquagésimo ano, irei me retirar para o lazer, meu sexagésimo ano me libertará dos deveres públicos. ”

E que garantia tem de que sua vida se prolongará

♫ Nights In White Satin ♫ (Redux) — Filosofa’s Word

A comment or two lately mentioned the Moody Blues, and while I recently played their song, “Go Now“, I haven’t played this one for almost two years! Band member Justin Hayward wrote and composed the song at age 19 in Swindon, and titled the song after a girlfriend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. […]

Filosofa Is Grrrrrrrrrrrrowling! — Filosofa’s Word

When I heard yesterday of so-called Democratic Senator Joe Manchin’s betrayal, I growled and damn near threw something (but, I’d just have to clean up the mess, so I held back).  Once again, Manchin seems to be the fly in the ointment, seems for all intents and purposes to be against the people of this […]

Sri Lankan president arrives in Singapore after fleeing protests | Free Malaysia Today (FMT)

Singapore’s foreign ministry confirmed Rajapaksa had been allowed to enter the city-state but insisted it was for a “private visit”.

“He has not asked for asylum and neither has he been granted any asylum. Singapore generally does not grant requests for asylum,” it said in a statement.

A handful of Sri Lankans were waiting in one of the airport’s arrival areas to voice their anger at Rajapaksa and the economic crisis engulfing their homeland.

CDC director: Expect more monkeypox cases in coming weeks | CIDRAP

131,000 new vaccine doses available to states

In total, the federal government has distributed 160,000 vaccine doses to states. Walensky emphasized throughout the press conference the distribution of vaccine will be equitable and given to places currently seeing the highest number of cases.

Today HHS also said an addition 131,000 doses will be made available to order from states for delivery starting next week.

Until then, Walensky said MSM should be made aware of transmission dynamics by clinicians. Close skin-to-skin contact, fact-to-face contact via kissing, and sharing contaminated objects are all likely the main ways the virus is spreading, she said.

She also noted that testing currently requires the presence of lesions on a person, because those lesions must be swabbed to look for the virus.

The United States currently has 1,470 cases from 44 jurisdictions, an increase of 417 from yesterday.

In related news, Food and Drug Administration inspectors have completed their inspection of a Bavarian Nordic plant in Denmark, which paves the way for the US to receive thousands more doses of the Jynneos vaccine.

CDC raises Dallas, Collin, Tarrant Counties’ COVID-19 risk level to red

Under the red designation, which signifies high community spread, the CDC recommends that everyone wear masks indoors when in public and on public transit. That differs from the yellow designation, which recommends indoor masking only for individuals with high risk of severe illness.

The CDC has also listed Collin and Tarrant counties as red, while Denton County is still listed at the yellow level.
