IPCC climate report: Profound changes are underway in Earth’s oceans and ice – a lead author explains what the warnings mean

♫ Dedicated To The One I Love ♫

Filosofa's Word

I was rather in the mood for some Mamas and Papas music tonight, and I found two that I like and haven’t yet played! No, you don’t get both … I’m saving one for later.

This song, written by Lowman Pauling and Ralph Bass, was first recorded by the “5” Royales in 1957 (#81 in the U.S.), then by The Shirelles in 1959, that reached only #83 on the U.S. charts. And then came the Mamas & the Papas version in 1967 that soared to in both the UK and the U.S. Lowman Pauling was the guitarist for the “5” Royales and Ralph Bass was their producer.

This was the first time that Michelle Phillips was given the lead over Cass Elliot.

I was curious, so I checked out both the “5” Royales and The Shirelles versions. I found that I rather liked the “5” Royales version, although the…

How our food choices cut into forests and put us closer to viruses — Palm Oil Detectives

Barbara Crane Navarro

Terry Sunderland, University of British Columbia As the global population has doubled to 7.8 billion in about 50 years, industrial agriculture has increased the output from fields and farms to feed humanity.

Não ignore

Microsoft translation:
Don’t ignore the importance of small things

Without them there would be no echo of the voices

The pleasure of a sweet kiss

And daily effort for the last minute of lucidity

Sometimes the only thing that fills the soul

It is the draft of the minimum before what has turned to dust.

This is where you find some value,

Some conclusive nobility about life.

It’s in the interval between your last action

And the longing that spiritualizes your abstract gaze

Making you feel unprotected

Before the memory of who was

That the flame of hope that “builds its way back” is reborn

Don’t be an echo

Look at life with tenderness

This is the secret of our infinite crossing.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Não ignore a importância das coisas pequeninas

Sem elas não haveria o eco das vozes

O prazer de um beijo doce

E esforço diário pelo último minuto de lucidez

Às vezes, a única coisa que preenche a alma

É o rascunho do mínimo diante daquilo que se transformou em pó .

É nisto, que se encontra algum valor,

Alguma nobreza conclusiva sobre a vida.

É no intervalo entre a sua última ação

E a saudade que espiritualiza o seu olhar abstrato

Fazendo com você se sinta desprotegido

Diante da lembrança de quem foi

Que renasce a chama da esperança que “constrói o seu caminho de volta”

Não seja um eco

Olhe a vida com ternura

Esse é o segredo de nossa infinita travessia.
