US rolls out monkeypox vaccine plan… | CIDRAP

Under the new plan, 296,000 doses of the Jynneos vaccine will be made available throughout July, 56,000 of which will be allocated immediately.

Over the coming months a combined 1.6 million additional doses will become available, the administration said. The vaccines will be distributed equitably to states based on population, and at-risk communities will be targeted in the vaccination campaign.

“This includes those who had close physical contact with someone diagnosed with monkeypox, those who know their sexual partner was diagnosed with monkeypox, and men who have sex with men who have recently had multiple sex partners in a venue where there was known to be monkeypox or in an area where monkeypox is spreading,” the White House said in an HHS press release.

“While monkeypox poses minimal risk to most Americans, we are doing everything we can to offer vaccines to those at high-risk of contracting the virus. This new strategy allows us to maximize the supply of currently available vaccines and reach those who are most vulnerable to the current outbreak,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.

Officials said they now have the capacity to test 10,000 Americans per week for the virus now that five major labs are authorized to conduct tests.

Here-aqui

Coisas da SIL

Aqui eu sinto
O vento que me arrepia.
O barulho que me anima.
O eco do quero quero.
As folhas que se batem
Umas nas outras
Os cachorros que alarde

O barulho que embrulha
A saudade de quem fala.
O destino que vem chegar
Ou possa passar.

O bom que sempre Vem
A maldade que fala de alguém.

A mata traz o verde
Da esperança que não cansa
Das lembranças do tempo bom
De um certa distante
Que não se prolonga.

Uma chuva que cai e sempre vai embora
Que molha a terra e se acorda
Um novo fim, novo dia, nova sina

Assim chega…
Silenciosa
Harmoniosa
Cheirosa
E saborosa.

here I feel
The wind that chills me.
The noise that cheers me up.
The echo of want want.
The leaves that beat
each other
the dogs that flaunt

The noise that wraps
The longing…

We can Do Better Wednesdays, & A Cure for Loneliness?

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

A question from (the now removed) chapter 6:

From food pantries to our own food, steps can be designed to build in that way,
also, as networks of volunteers design systems of daily food distribution, starting with
individuals, and working up to entire towns and cities, so that no one is ever forgotten, left out,
or entirely alone.

What ways can you think of to ensure that no one is ever left out?

Aqui, além, pelo mundo,

ossos, nomes, letras, poeira..

Onde os rostos? onde as almas?

Nem os herdeiros recordam

rastro nenhum pelo chão

Ó grandes muros sem eco,

presídio de sal e treva

onde os homens pade padeceram

sua vasta solidão…”

Russian Elites, Proxies, and Oligarchs Task Force Joint Statement | OPA | Department of Justice

In the 100 days since the Finance, Justice, Home Affairs, and Trade Ministers and European Commissioners committed to prioritizing resources and working together to isolate sanctioned Russians from the international financial system, REPO members have:

  • Blocked or frozen more than $30 billion worth of sanctioned Russians’ assets in financial accounts and economic resources.
  • Immobilized about $300 billion worth of Russian Central Bank assets.
  • Seized, frozen, or detained yachts and other vessels owned, held, or controlled by sanctioned Russians, including the Amadea, the Tango, the Amore Vero, the Rahil, and the Phi.
  • Seized or frozen luxury real estate owned, held, or controlled by sanctioned Russians.
  • Restricted Russia’s access to the global financial system, making it more difficult for Russia to procure technology necessary to sustain its unjust war in Ukraine.

Ohio Man Sentenced to Prison for Threatening Reproductive Health Services Facility and an Individual Patient | OPA | Department of Justice

An Ohio man was sentenced in federal court today to one year and one day in prison and three years of supervised release for interstate threats; and concurrently to 10 months in prison and one year of supervised release for Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act charges, for threatening to bring a bomb to a local reproductive health services facility.

Carlos Manuel Rodriguez Brime, 26, of Columbus, also threatened to kill a patient whom he believed was seeking reproductive health services, specifically an abortion, at the clinic.

On April 11, 2021, Brime made two separate telephone calls to the local reproductive health care clinic. In the first, he made a death threat relating to the prospective patient and in the second, he made a bomb threat directly to the clinic, telling the clinic staff “my organization will be bringing a bomb to your facility. I suggest you close your doors.”

Specifically, Brime admitted to violating the FACE Act – which makes it a federal crime to threaten the use of force to intimidate anyone receiving or providing reproductive health services – and to transmitting a threat in interstate commerce.
