a gift from the seas

Develop. Inspire. Transform.

troubled times,
filled with ties, tethered,
reminding me
of the weather,
when we
were once together

chosen
to take on
the pleasure,
while you listened
from far away, forever

distant,
hard to grasp, as
we watch
the grown grass

take its time,
reaching

towards the skyline…

will it
make it,
hard to define

the
unimaginable, yet
we find solace
in the curvatures
of the world’s futures

as they
come to fruition,
we pause,
breathe, reflect,
and protect
the actions presence, our
current sentence

as, I

ask
for your hand
again,
while we’re reminded
of the sun,
behind the trees,
hiding from you and me,
yet always present,
like a gift from the seas

Faça o seu melhor com o que a vida pode lhe dar hoje

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Não espere para ser feliz quando tudo for propício, quando a vida estabilizar, quando viajar, quando conseguir conquistar status ou conseguir caminhar rumo ao sucesso. Não, tudo isso é ironia. Imaginação, gestos que nos proporciona mais desgosto do que olhos de gratidão.

Há quem faça planos, construa sonhos e dependure tudo isso no varal do tempo. Isso mesmo, você planeja mas deixa tudo guardado para uma oportunidade. Quer saber uma grande verdade? Nem sempre essa oportunidade que você espera chega. Claro, nem tudo depende de nós. Mas, o que for possível faça. Não espere usar uma bengala para alcançar a felicidade ou atingir o seu melhor. O tempo propício é esse, é o hoje, o agora. ” Faça o melhor dentro das condições que você tem hoje”. De Buda à Coen, Cortella…tudo é sabedoria que se guarda.

Essas pessoas sabem o verdadeiro sentido de lograr êxito. A felicidade não…

The Long History of Mandated Vaccines in the United States

A more effective and less gruesome smallpox vaccine was invented in 1796 and since then, American soldiers received the vaccine from the War of 1812 to World War II. Starting in World War I, the Army added vaccines against typhoid. During World War II, vaccines for influenza, tetanus, cholera, diphtheria, plague and yellow fever were also required. By 2006, soldiers in the armed forces received 13 different vaccines, with additional doses depending on location and regional conditions.

For example, for a child to enter kindergarten, the Florida Department of Health requires four doses of Diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP), four doses of polio (IPV), two doses of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), two doses of chickenpox, Hepatitis B, and pneumococcal conjugate (PCV13), and haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). When attending college, I had to show proof of vaccination for the same vaccines. Similarly, health-care and child-care workers are often required to show proof of vaccination for Hepatitis B, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, pneumococcal disease and varicella.

George Washington and the First Mass Military Inoculation (John W. Kluge Center, Library of Congress)

Weighing the risks, on February 5th of 1777, Washington finally committed to the unpopular policy of mass inoculation by writing to inform Congress of his plan. Throughout February, Washington, with no precedent for the operation he was about to undertake, covertly communicated to his commanding officers orders to oversee mass inoculations of their troops in the model of Morristown and Philadelphia (Dr. Shippen’s Hospital). At least eleven hospitals had been constructed by the year’s end. Variola raged throughout the war, devastating the Native American population and slaves who had chosen to fight for the British in exchange for freedom. Yet the isolated infections that sprung up among Continental regulars during the southern campaign failed to incapacitate a single regiment. With few surgeons, fewer medical supplies, and no experience, Washington conducted the first mass inoculation of an army at the height of a war that immeasurably transformed the international system. Defeating the British was impressive, but simultaneously taking on Variola was a risky stroke of genius.
