California mandates vaccines for healthcare workers by Sept. 30 – Los Angeles Times

The new mandate applies to employees in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, clinics, doctor’s offices, hospice facilities, dialysis centers and most other healthcare settings, and stipulates that they complete their inoculation regimen by Sept. 30.

“As we continue to see an increase in cases and hospitalizations due to the Delta variant of COVID-19, it’s important that we protect the vulnerable patients in these settings,” Dr. Tomás Aragón, state public health officer and director of the California Department of Public Health, said in a statement. “Today’s action will also ensure that healthcare workers themselves are protected. Vaccines are how we end this pandemic.”

Perverso y contradictorio

Mientras la comunidad científica permanece en sospechoso y extraño sigilo y en aparente y simulada impotencia ante las nuevas variantes de Coronavirus que cotidianamente afectan a incontables personas, a nivel global, las potencias compiten por la conquista del espacio y se apoderan, gradualmente, de Marte y de otros planetas, en un afán de ambición desmedida, control absoluto, supremacía y dominio. La ciencia y la tecnología son ambivalentes y se les aplaude cuando se utilizan para bien de la humanidad; no obstante, las élites poderosas y los gobiernos que controlan, en alianza con los científicos, son incapaces de enfrentar y combatir una enfermedad contagiosa que crearon y dispersaron en el mundo y, a la vez, ambiciosos, crueles y soberbios al derrochar imágenes seleccionadas para demostrar su poderío, en una supuesta búsqueda de vida -migajas distractoras, por cierto, porque no van…

Can we Afford to have another Generation of People on the Planet Who Pollute the Environment and Do Even More Damage than What we are seeing Now?

FunWritings

Deforestation, plastic pollution, air pollution , climate change and more destruction

We need to do more to save our planet and start using new instructions

Reducing pollution is a great place for us to start

We simply need to decide that we will do our part

Itwould be nice to have a clean environment to enjoy

But with so many people who only care aboutincreasing wealth, they only destroy

Cutting down trees and not replanting them and dumping waste into the Sea

When we should be thinking of the ways to be plastic free

And in the future they willfind much better ways to manage

They will be reducing their Carbon footprint as they live in a sustainable way

Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom’s Call page 25, and motherless children

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

It is crucial that we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us today, and to come and work together, for all of us, right?   Remembering that any one of us could have become a motherless child is part of that, no?

I believe that attention to shared histories, as in DC, may provide part of an answer.  I started a note about that, a few years ago, in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call:

” … Shalom. Assistance rendered by members of the Hanafi sect to both Ohev Shalom and Tifereth Israel members on various occasions inspires the hope that
neighbors can learn from and work with each other to build longer lasting cooperative structures. Ongoing efforts at cooperation between the Jewish and
Black communities will be discussed in later chapters. Shepherd Park and nearby Takoma, DC are also home to individual Jews…

Mystery of the deep: Behaviour of J pod orcas confounds researchers | CBC News

A growing mystery around some of B.C.’s most endangered killer whales may have been solved, but experts say changes in the animals’ behaviour still have them concerned.

The southern resident orca group known as J pod is usually seen in the waters between the southern tip of Vancouver Island and the United States on a near-daily basis between April and September.

But for 108 days there were no sightings of the endangered pod, until Monika Wieland-Shields, founder of the Orca Behaviour Institute in Washington state, captured them on video on July 27 in Haro Strait.

“It was pretty remarkable to not have them here for so long, especially in what was considered to be the peak season to see them,” she said.
