Nekropola stećaka u Bjelosavljevićima, Republika Srpska – Necropolis of stećak tombstones in Bjelosavljevići, Republika Srpska — Myrela

U selu Bjelosavljevići, šest kilometara južno do Sokoca, nalaze se dvije nekropole sa stećcima, od kojih jedna broji čak 360 nadgrobnika – dva u obliku ploča, 310 sanduka, 28 visokih sanduka, 20 sljemenjaka. Neki od njih su danas utonuli u zemlju i veoma oštećeni, ali je među njima nekoliko primjeraka sa sačuvanim klesanim ukrasom. Ornamentalni […]

Oslikane pećine u dolini Vezera, Francuska – Painted caves in the Vézère Valley, France — Myrela

Penjanje uz brdo nad selom Montinjak na lijevoj obali Vezera u Dordonji trebalo je da bude samo zabavan izlet za Marsela Ravidara, Žaka Marsala, Žorža Anjela i Simona Kankasa. A onda se iz toga izrodilo jedno od najčuvenijih arheoloških otkrića dvadesetog vijeka. Dvanaestog septembra 1940. godine četiri dječaka, opremljena samo slabim baterijskim lampama i urođenom […]

Inflammation, Mental Health and Covid Outcomes

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

Inflammation is one of the body’s reponses to a threat.

Inflammation is literally a flood of fluids containing immune system cells. They get released from the blood into body tissues to help clear infections. This is why infected areas of the body get swollen.(1)

Inflammation occurs when the body is invaded by a virus like SARS-CoV-2, the Covid virus.

Short term inflammation is necessary for survival. Chronic or extreme inflammation on the other hand is a threat to survival.

Chronic inflammation is a companion to mental health issues, with the severity of inflammation apparently proportional to the severity of the mental illness. Schizophrenics, for example, tend to have extensive inflammation. High levels of stress and poor sleeping habits also contribute to chronic inflammation.

Wondering Wednesdays, Baby Floors, Chapter 7, section II: C map for the early years, 3/4

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

This post is the start of the rough draft of  Chapter 7, section II, part C, for my non-fiction WiP, Baby Floors.  

Putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

Outlines for some of chapter 7 will be at the bottom of this post (JYP!).

Once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases.  This chapter is part of showing what Phases I-IV could look like as potential roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us.  This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind  will eventually have each person’s basic needs  met, without taking anything from anyone, and without violence, intimidation, nor coercion of any kind. 

(Chapter 7, section II. B.  was last week) :

II. C.

Be kind to _______

On a mission

Be Kind To __ ( Fill up the blank )

If you said anything but, “ Yourself”! You must think again and here is 7 reasons

1. You can not be what you are not so be kind to yourself first.

2. The energy always flows from high to low. The person at the receiving end will benefit.

3. Some of us may not see anyone every day but we do see ourselves and the best way to compliment is by saying you are so kind. Be kind to yourself.

4. Even you are saying kind words but saying with negative energy the other person at receiving end only gets impacted by the negative energy and did not get anything from you. So say with positive energy.

5. Kind is agnostic of language. Everyone understands despite the fact there are 7000 + languages in the world.

6. Kindness is like…
