CDC: Rate of COVID-19 hospitalization rising in adolescents, teens – UPI.com

Among hospitalized adolescents, nearly one-third required intensive care unit admissions and 5% required invasive mechanical ventilation. Of the hospitalized adolescents and teens, nearly 30% had no underlying conditions. “Much of this suffering can be prevented,” Walensky said, noting that adolescents and teens older than age 12 are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

الحياة والدراجة

حلم الدرويش

والحياة كنهر مُتدفق لا ينظر للخلف ولا يتوقف ، وليس أمامك سوى أن تتعلم السباحة فى النهر قبل أن تُلقى بنفسك فيه وإلا فأن مصيرك المحتوم هو الغرق والفناء ، وسيستمر النهر فى طريقه ولن يُبالى بك أو بغيرك من الغرقى ، هو يمضى فى طريقه المرسوم وأنت يجب أن تسير فى طريقك المَأمُول . العزيمة والإصرار والصبر والعمل ، أشياء ومُحفزات تساعدك فى رحلتك نحو الأهداف فتحلى بها ولا تُهملها أبداً ، وكذلك الشغف والعلم كلاهما يلعب دور الزاد والوقود المُحرك للفرد والمجتمع نحو التطور والاِرتقاء لما هو أفضل . الثقة فى النفس ومُداومة التجريب والتَعلُم تصنع التقدم والإتقان فى ما تفعله ، مع ضرورة التَقبُل والتسليم بأن التطور سيأتى بشكل تدريجى ويحتاج لبعض الوقت والمجهود والتركيز .

Triumf

Google translation of introduction: Triumph Cliff, Today, Europe would have looked different if Wilhelm had not conquered England at Hastings in 1066. In Falaise, in the north of France, his native castle invites you to really get to know this character.

ore de drum

Falaise, 2016

Azi, Europa ar fi arătat altfel dacă Wilhelm n-ar fi cucerit Anglia, la Hastings, în 1066.

La Falaise, în nordul Franței, castelul său natal te invită să cunoști cu adevărat acest personaj.

Renumele burgului i se datorează integral. Filiația sa este banală, era fiul ilegitim al marelui duce al Normandiei și al fiicei unui de tăbăcar din sat. Tatăl său, Robert le Diable, a plecat în pelerinaj la Ierusalim și nu s-a mai întors, așa că Wilhelm a început lupta din copilărie. Mai întâi, lupta de a-și recupera bunurile, fiind bastard, apoi implicarea în revoltele din ținut. S-a născut chiar aici, în acest castel impunător, unde a prins contur aspirația sa de a cuceri Anglia.

Așadar, să nu vă mirați. Turiștii englezi sunt majoritari și în jur auzi vorbindu-se doar engleza, ca și cum ai fi complet separat de Franța. Prima impresie a fost ca mă aflam într-o…

Filosofa’s Pet Peeves

Filosofa's Word

A few things annoy the bloody heck out of me these days.  We all have our pet peeves, things that for whatever reason grate on our nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard.  Mine used to be confined to such things as drivers who don’t move when the traffic light turns green because they are too busy playing or talking on their cell phone, but lately there is a whole new crop of things to annoy us.

One is that any time I visit a news website such as the New York Times or The Washington Post, they have some video that loops the first few seconds repeatedly.  I find this so distracting, having something moving in my field of vision while I’m trying to read that I cannot help but wonder how many people with epilepsy have been sent to the hospital for seizures from these annoying videos.  Sometimes…

Chidam

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

In the heart of the traditional northern localities of India’s Kolkata city, right opposite to the Mukul Bithi Children’s School on the Abhedananda Road previously known as the Beadon Street; survives a hundred-year-old barbershop under the main staircase of an equally antique mansion in a room measuring ten feet by four feet.

Rain, hail, or thunderstorm, right at 6:00 AM every morning barring holy Thursdays dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, Chidam Napit would lift the clangy corrugated shutters of ‘Lokhi Art Saloon,’ his beloved haircutting enterprise, a barely surviving flicker amidst an inferno of dazzling and fast-evolving businesses in the cosmopolitan city at the end of the twentieth century.

While the central throne in this business establishment, a reclining metal barber chair reserved for special loyal customers was operated by Chidam himself, three four-legged wobbly wooden ones were manned by his second in command baldy barber Konok Kanti and two apprentices…

Theodore Roosevelt

Google translation of quote: “It is much better to risk great things, to achieve triumphs and glories, even exposing yourself to defeat, than to line up with the poor in spirit who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in this gray shadow that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” É muito melhor arriscar coisa grandiosas, alcançar triunfos e glórias, mesmo expondo-se a derrota, do que formar fila com os pobres de espírito que nem gozem muito nem sofrem muito, porque vivem nessa penumbra cinzenta que não conhece vitória nem derrota.”

Theodore Roosevelt.
