Estas tardes nebulosas, volteo atrás, a los muchos instantes y horas de mi ayer, entre remembranzas y suspiros, en busca de pedazos míos y de otros hombres y mujeres, todos con nombres y apellidos, con quienes compartí una historia, episodios irrepetibles, y de los que solo encuentro trozos y percibo ecos, al lado de espacios vacíos y listas de ausencias. Estas horas vespertinas de lluvia, parecen despertar antiguos recuerdos, fragancias de antaño, imágenes que ya no están, nostalgias que se prenden conforme llegan las sombras nocturnas. Estos minutos, al irse el día, como se fueron la gente y las cosas de otro tiempo, llegan recuerdos distantes, porciones de mi infancia y de mi juventud, partes de mi edad madura y adelantos, parece, de lo que alguna vez será mi vejez. Navega mi existencia, mi biografía, en fragmentos lejanos e…

LA County Mandates COVID Shots For In-Home Care Workers | LAist
In-home health aides perform intimate, everyday tasks such as feeding and bathing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They are paid through the state’s regional center network, but those jobs have so far not been included on any of the state health department’s coronavirus vaccine requirements.
That’s changing in Los Angeles County. LAist obtained a letter sent by county Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis to regional center administrators on Sept. 9, clarifying that in-home care workers are included in a previous county health order requiring workers to be fully vaccinated by Sept. 30. With the deadline fast approaching, workers can only get the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine since both Pfizer and Moderna’s require weeks between doses.

France recalls its ambassadors to US and Australia in submarine deal backlash • FRANCE 24 English – YouTube (Me: Ignore headlines that imply something more threatening – calling home for consultations not the same as ending relations…)
France on Friday said it was immediately recalling its ambassadors to the US and Australia for consultations after Australia struck a deal with the US and UK, which ended a $40 billion French-designed submarine deal.
Key nursing home staff lag in COVID-19 vaccination, study shows | CIDRAP
“Physical distancing is impossible,” they wrote. “For this reason, nursing homes would be the most sensible place to introduce a vaccine mandate, because unvaccinated nursing home staff present an imminent risk to the vulnerable residents in their care.”
Ward and Covinsky also said that CNAs have a positive influence on resident care while working very hard for low pay, with few key benefits such as sick leave.
“We believe low voluntary vaccination rates among CNAs suggests a failure of nursing home owners to effectively partner with their most essential workers and provides one more indication of the need to improve the pay and working conditions of this group,” they wrote.

Countries need better journalists.
Murdoch who? lol – I do not read or listen to any Murdoch outlets or media that follow his approach.
We just do. I think it should be a rule or a Law, that is you spread misinformation regarding serious situations like COVID. If it was intentional, you should be pulled off air. If it was intentional, but that journalist’s what to “play”, be pulled off the air. When they make mistake, not only should they correct it in a BIG way, but they should go back to journalism school and re-learn how to verify things.
The ones that are any good, you rarely hear from, because like Murdoch. A lot of loud journalists like to make themselves the story. I think we, as a society, all over the world need to promote these good journalists ourselves. Murdoch and co aren’t going to do it.
I say it’s time the people start listening and start promoting the journalists that they want to hear from, rather than let industries like Murdoch…

É impossível medir a profundidade do oceano colocando somente a pontas dos dedos na margem

“Don’t blame life. Rather, allow yourself to improve with problems.”Marii Freire Pereira
“Não censure a vida. Antes, permita-se melhorar com os problemas.”
Marii Freire Pereira
Às vezes rompemos tantos protocolos nessa corrida louca da vida para sentirmos um pouquinho de felicidade, mas, felicidade com ” F” maiusculo, algo profundo, abissal, não é molhar os pés e achar que foi capaz de ter lavado a alma. Não, falo daquilo que transcende o combustível da vida – o amor.
Qualquer pessoa pode conseguir. (…) Muitos julgam difícil, porém, tudo é uma questão de esforço. Na verdade, ele é o que consome, grande parte da energia do que fazemos. Há quem queira conquistar lugares, fama, posição, ter reconhecimento, amor, disciplina, mas bate em retirada porque acostumou-se com os rasos da vida.
” Ninguém toca o fundo do oceano molhando as pontas dos pés “.
É importante adentrar, saber que aquilo que toca, já se manifestou internamente, e o que quer que seja, que encontre pela…
