Who Knows If we have Enough Oil to Power Economies for a Long Time?

It could well kill off our environment and us before it runs out, in my opinion.

FunWritings

The remaining reserves of oil, have become a debate among the experts these days?

More technology needs more energy and it is best for us to find renewable sources in new ways

There is so much of what we do that depends on our need for energy

If we don’t invest more time and money in clean energy, Life could become a tragedy

Our dependence on oil has grown over the years

And there has been less emphasis placed on the need for environmental care

Who thinks about restoring the places that is damaged when oil spills cause terrible destruction

Is anyone willing to start following some new instructions

We could be making and restoring more solar panels in more places

Creating more jobs and causing more smiles to be on faces

We could also find more sources…

La educación en el siglo de las luces

lunfafirule.wordpress.com

La educación en España: la universidad continuó, durante el siglo de la ilustración, el proceso de decadencia en el que se veía inserta desde el esplendor del Siglo de Oro.

Feijoo, hombre ilustrado crítico con la religión, vio en ésta el “muro que impedía la entrada de los nuevos saberes” por miedo a ser desacreditada. Además, muchos catedráticos abandonaron sus puestos docentes con el fin de ocupar otros mejor remunerados.

Hubo una enorme falta de acuerdo para intentar atajar un problema que todos aceptaban, pero que nadie sabía resolver. Se ensayaron numerosas propuestas
como la utilización de libros de texto o la selección previa de los alumnos más capacitados, pero los problemas estaban en la raíz, y con una poda no bastaba. Prueba de la situación en la que se encontraba España, quedó certificada en la publicación de Verney, “El verdadero método de estudiar“. Éste fue una de las figuras…

Police groups say ‘defunding the police’ was not proposed in reform talks, counter to GOP senator’s claim – The Washington Post (Me: GOP lies to get out of hole it dug for itself)

The International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Fraternal Order of Police said in a joint statement Tuesday that they were “disappointed that Senate negotiators could not reach agreement on police reform legislation” and remain “committed to enacting carefully balanced and thoughtful legislation” on the topic.

“Despite some media reports, at no point did any legislative draft propose ‘defunding the police,’” the groups said in their statement. “In fact, the legislation specifically provided additional funding to assist law enforcement agencies in training, agency accreditation, and data collection initiatives.

YouTube is banning Joseph Mercola and a handful of other anti-vaccine activists – The Washington Post

SAN FRANCISCO — YouTube is taking down several video channels associated with high-profile anti-vaccine activists including Joseph Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who experts say are partially responsible for helping seed the skepticism that’s contributed to slowing vaccination rates across the country.

As part of a new set of policies aimed at cutting down on anti-vaccine content on the Google-owned site, YouTube will ban any videos that claim that commonly used vaccines approved by health authorities are ineffective or dangerous. The company previously blocked videos that made those claims about coronavirus vaccines, but not ones for other vaccines like those for measles or chickenpox.

Misinformation researchers have for years said the popularity of anti-vaccine content on YouTube was contributing to growing skepticism of lifesaving vaccines in the United States and around the world. Vaccination rates have slowed and about 56 percent of the U.S. population has had two shots, compared with 71 percent in Canada and 67 percent in the United Kingdom. In July, President Biden said social media companies were partially responsible for spreading misinformation about the vaccines, and need to do more to address the issue.

The 39th Step – Making a life change | Ned Hamson’s Second Line View of the News

“I want to live an Open Life with grace and simplicity.

I want to be more creative, to be constantly learning and growing.”

Many of us hear these words and our heart sings back, Yes, so do I!

Then our head says in a not so pleasant voice, So, how do I do it, how do I begin?

The best advice usually is: begin at the beginning – right?

The first step on a journey is the most important one, right?

In this case, these two rights make a wrong. Why?

SARS-CoV-2 Postvaccination Infections Among Staff Members of a Tertiary Care University Hospital – Vienna, January-July 2021; an Exploratory Study on 8 500 Employees with Better Outcome of Vector than m-RNA Vaccine by Sophie Brunner, Tibor Spath, Gabriela Kornek, Bernhard Parschalk, Maximilian Schnetzinger, Robert Strassl, Rebeka Savic, Andrea Foit, Helene Resch, Florian Thalhammer :: SSRN

Interpretation: mRNA and vector vaccines against COVID-19 are both highly effective in protecting against a broad genomic spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 infections, at least with respect to severe illness. In the present investigation VAXZEVRIA was more effective than COMIRNATY with respect to prevent breakthrough infections after full immunization, however, it seems important, that all recommended vaccine doses are applicated. Maintaining distinct precautions and ongoing testing, at least for the immediate period after vaccination, to detect asymptomatic infections is highly recommended.

“We have seen California make a lot of progress,” said Democratic U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, who in his previous job as California secretary of state was charged with ensuring the 647 public companies headquartered there followed the law. “It is what makes sense for the nation, as well.”
