‘Heart-wrenching’: inside a hospital grappling with Delta and vaccine hesitancy | Tennessee | The Guardian
Just a few months ago the hospital had no Covid-19 patients, with hopes that the widespread availability and effectiveness of vaccination in the US would keep things that way. But with the Delta variant now tearing its way through unvaccinated Americans and inoculation rates plateauing in Tennessee amid a dangerous conservative political backlash against vaccines, hospitals are experiencing a new wave of cases.
Covid-19 hospitalizations in Tennessee have more than doubled in the past three weeks, from 195 to 579. It’s currently far less than the peaks of last winter, when hospitals cared for upwards of 3,300 Covid patients statewide, but data shared with the Guardian shows that officials in Memphis believe almost 80% of new cases are now tied to the highly transmissible Delta variant with the transmission rate, or R number, at 1.53 and climbing, close to the highest it has ever been in the city…

Saturday Surprise — Pareidolia (?)
Ha, ha, ha, ha…
Okay, so it’s time for a Saturday Surprise post. I skipped over it last week … I don’t remember why now, but either I wasn’t inspired or I had something I wanted to get off my chest (like our cat Pandi, who LOVES to lie on our chests!) At any rate, today I am determined you will start your weekend with a smile … GOT THAT???
I wasn’t quite sure, when I came across the term, what ‘pareidolia’ was, so I looked it up and found that it is: the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. The scientific explanation for some people is pareidolia, or the human ability to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness. Um … okay. Probably better that I show you … in some cases the captions steal the show!

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
We keep seeing the need to translate problems into mathematical terms, or into the language of mathematics, in order to solve problems. Libraries and librarians can help us translate mathematical, scientific, and social problems into terms that can facilitate problem-solving, if we fund our libraries properly. How would you solve part of the problem of public library funding?
Today’s reading relates to figuring out for yourself what are useful online materials to help you learn mathematics on your own:

UNICEF renews call for ban on corporal punishment in Jamaica — Petchary’s Blog

A child is just a child. Not an adult, but an adult in the making. How then, does a small human being (who has not yet worked things out for him/herself) deserve to be shouted at, beaten, slapped and kicked into submission, in the name of so-called “discipline”? That small child deserves love, nurturing, protection […]
