From Nan and/or the nytimes 2/18/2022:

I need hanging out to dry

every now and then…

When I sit imperious

as though impervious

to feedback curious,

sometimes furious.

A mammoth cargo ship believed to be carrying thousands of vehicles including 1,100 Porsches was on fire and drifting off the coast of the Azores on Thursday after its 22 crew members were rescued from the vessel.

The fire broke out on Wednesday morning in the cargo hold of the ship, called the Felicity Ace, which had departed from Emden, Germany, on Feb. 10 and was scheduled to arrive in Davisville, R.I., on Wednesday. The ship was about 200 miles…

Kajsija – Apricot

Myrela

Kajsija je sjajna hrana za podmlađivanje. Bogata je amino-kiselinama, kao što su cistein i glutamin, mineralima kao što su selen i magnezijum i njihovim bioaktivnim oblicima. To voće puno je minerala u tragovima, više od četrdeset njih, od kojih su neki vezani jedni s drugima kao kofaktor minerali u tragovima, praveći bioaktivne prirodne legure koje nauka još nije ni otkrila. Kajsije imaju jedinjenja fitohemikalija koje se vezuju za hemijske molekule, kao što je DDT duboko u tijelu, snižavajući rizik od mnogih vrsta raka. Kajsije su hrana koja podstiče B12, što znači da uklanjaju štetne elemente iz digestivnog trakta koji remete zdravu proizvodnju B12. Kada pojedete kajsiju, koža skuplja i uništava buđ, kvasce, nepotrebnu kandidu i ostale loše gljivice u tijelu; osim toga, koža je bogata enzimima i koenzimima koji štite DNK. Meso kajsije spriječava proizvodnju amonijaka u crijevima, destruktivnog gasa koji može da prodre kroz zidove crijevnog trakta i izazove…

De quantas ” Penhas” a mais a sociedade precisa para procurar atenuar o problema da violência contra a mulher?

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A Maria da Penha é uma mulher que se tornou um exemplo de [ consciência], luta, e persistência no combate à violência contra a mulher em nossa sociedade. O que a Penha sofreu, salienta a importância de trabalhar mais do que nunca, a questão da violência doméstica, que sabemos que é um problema social grave, e que infelizmente, tem muitas barreiras a serem vencidas. Ao invés, de “sentir muito” – que é o sentimento que se alimenta pela vítima, que tal termos uma política pública que de fato, ajude essas mulheres? É fundamental não estar sozinha, ou se “sentir desamparada” após uma separação traumática. Talvez, esse seja mais um “dos” medos enfrentados por essas vítimas.

A violência contra a mulher no Brasil, mostra dados estatísticos alarmantes. Infelizmente, o país ocupao 5° lugar no ranking mundial de feminicídio, o que vergonhoso para nós. Portanto, mais do que nunca, é preciso intervir…

Intimate partner violence against women: a persistent and urgent challenge – The Lancet

Intimate partner violence is a huge challenge worldwide that has considerable implications for women’s health and wellbeing, as well as the wellbeing of families and communities that are affected by such violence and the underlying inequitable gender norms. Even though the Sustainable Development Goals call for the elimination of violence against women and girls by 2030, evidence from several countries suggests that the burden of intimate partner violence has actually increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global, regional, and national prevalence estimates of physical or sexual, or both, intimate partner violence against women in 2018 – The Lancet

Globally, 27% (uncertainty interval [UI] 23–31%) of ever-partnered women aged 15–49 years are estimated to have experienced physical or sexual, or both, intimate partner violence in their lifetime, with 13% (10–16%) experiencing it in the past year before they were surveyed. This violence starts early, affecting adolescent girls and young women, with 24% (UI 21–28%) of women aged 15–19 years and 26% (23–30%) of women aged 19–24 years having already experienced this violence at least once since the age of 15 years.
