Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Disfarcemos,

Escondemos.

Mas o que a nossa vontade implora,

Pede, clama e até, sussurrar baixinho é que:

Eu e você,

Passemos por essa vida

De modo que a sorte,

Não nos seja costurada,

Desastrosa,

Ingrata,

Cega.

O que todos nós, queremos mesmo, é:

Seguir o nosso caminho

Com os pés descalços,

Deixando as horas fluir!

Desmistificando o voo

Do homem que segue em frente.

No fundo, o que todos desejamos verdadeiramente é:

Carregar nos olhos,

Uma vastidão de esperança,

Composta por sonhos,

Um punhado de carinho,

e um sorriso macio como cetim.

Pedras, sempre iremos encontrar ao longo de nossa caminhada

Mas, você acha que nos deixamos vencer por elas ?

Não! São com elas ( pedras) que reconstruimos a nossa fortaleza.

Diante das que muitas sobram, algumas podem sufocar os nossos sonhos, é verdade.

Não, essa força maior que gritar dentro de nós,

e faz com que, de um…

Why is the COVID mortality rate spiking in Germany? | Coronavirus and Covid-19 – latest news about COVID-19 | DW | 26.11.2021

This considerable proportion of the population who are not vaccinated (or not fully vaccinated) plays a major role, as the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the government agency for infectious diseases, told DW: “This also applies to the elderly, who have the highest risk of death.” Among people over 60, more than 3 million people have not yet been vaccinated.

Most of the deaths related to COVID-19 can be traced back to unvaccinated people, RKI statistics indicate. And according to intensive care medics, 90% of the COVID patients in ICUs in Germany are unvaccinated. The RKI says the chance of survival is only 53% for COVID patients in the ICU once they go on a ventilator, whether vaccinated or not.

Michigan leads US in Covid case count with every one in 10 new cases | Coronavirus | The Guardian

“The best predictors of case levels are going to be your vaccination coverage,” said Lauring. “The counties that have high vaccination rates have lower case rates.”

The reasons behind any rise in cases are complicated. “However, those who are not immunized contribute disproportionately to hospitalizations and deaths due to Covid-19 in Michigan,” Chelsea Wuth, a public information officer with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, told the Guardian in an email. Three-quarters of recent hospitalizations and deaths were among those not fully vaccinated.

“As more individuals are vaccinated, it is less likely that the virus will circulate and mutate, avoiding the development of more transmissible and vaccine-resistant variants in the future,” Wuth said.

“If you aren’t vaccinated, you’re gonna get it,” Sousa said. And “there are still a lot of people who haven’t previously gotten sick and haven’t been vaccinated,” so the surge will likely continue at least for a few weeks.

Slike na stijenama u Tanumu, Švedska – Rock Carvings in Tanum, Sweden

Myrela

Sa svojih 12.000 stanovnika, koji pretežno žive u malim ribarskim selima duž obale Sjevernog mora, Tanum je najveća opština u provinciji Bohulsen u južnoj Švedskoj. Nalazi se u netaknutoj prirodi obogaćenoj izvanredno plodnim morskim okruženjem, koje pruža sredstva za život gotovo svim svojim stanovnicima. Glatke stijene i travnate čistine protežu se do mora i dominiraju obalom. Kopneni dio područja miran je poljoprivredni region s nizom uskih dolina. Na mjestu gdje se one sustižu, nastale su livade na kojima se čovjek prvi put nastanio prije više od 4.000 godina. U području koje pokriva pedesetak kvadratnih kilometara, nađeno je najmanje 350 grupa slika na stijenama, to jeste, više od 1.500 pojedinačnih predstava nastalih između 1800. i 500. godine p.n.e. Posebno se ističe Tanum, gdje su arheolozi otkrili ogromnu zbirku praistorijskih slika. One se mogu grupisati prema trinaest vrsta motiva, među kojima su zoomorfne i antropomorfne figure, drveće, otisci šaka i stopala, stari…

Red Hot Chili Peppers

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Food Whisperer: Red Hot Chili Peppers! Hello. My name is Gail and I’m addicted to red pepper flakes. Seriously. Sometimes my husband has to ask me to scale back on the capsaicin factor. In that case, I simply place the jar next to my plate and sprinkle away. It wasn’t until recently I realized the health benefits of crushed red peppers. According to Healthy Eating*, “Red Peppers soothe upset stomach and ulcers, bolsters heart health, regulates diabetes, and fortifies the immune system.” That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

1 pound red peppers, cayenne or chili with stem on.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 175°. Wash red peppers; pat dry. Arrange peppers on a baking sheet in a single layer without touching. Bake overnight, or 10 hours. Snap off stems and crush dried peppers, using a mortar and pestle…
