Many experts say to keep masks on despite CDC ruling – Los Angeles Times

“I strongly recommend to others that when at an indoor place where both vaccinated and unvaccinated people mix, such as grocery stores, that they wear a mask too,” tweeted Dr. Carlos del Rio, infectious diseases expert and executive associate dean at Emory School of Medicine in Atlanta.

Added Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, in a tweet: “Here’s my personal practice for now: Continue indoor masking in public places like grocery stores until more are vaccinated, infection numbers are down.”

“Add me to this list as well,” Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, chair of UC San Francisco’s department of epidemiology and biostatistics, responded in a tweet. “Wearing my mask indoors just awhile longer until the rates [of vaccinated people] are higher.”

Camp Stoneman conclusion

Pacific Paratrooper

POE Camp Stoneman

This photograph above was removed from a New York newspaper. The sign above the entry states: “Through these portals pass the best damn soldiers in the World.” The clipping beside it indicates shipping out dates. The 11th A/B departed May 5, 1944. Smitty said that this cruise would be the most boring part of his service, although he did become quite adept at playing cards during this time.

Smitty was unable to tell his mother that he and the 11th A/B would be shipping out the following day – destination and mission unknown. The men cruised from Suisan Bay into San Pablo Bay, into San Francisco Bay and under the Oakland Bridge to Oakland Mole where the Red Cross passed out coffee and donuts while they boarded the transport ships. So … back under the Oakland Bridge, thru San Francisco Bay and under the Golden Gate Bridge…

Writer’s Workshop: Improve FLOW by Removing 3 Words

K E Garland

I love writing that flows. When I read a book, I like to feel as if I’m riding a wave or listening to a smooth melody where the notes come together in concert to create beautiful harmony. When writing flows, you don’t want to abandon it. In fact, you may re-read sentences just to appreciate the beauty.

How do writers combine words to create flow? One way is to follow a specific rule. Now, I know in the last Writer’s Workshop I told you to dismiss rules, but I should’ve added the word sometimes.

So, here’s the advice: Remove these three words as much as possible: that, adverbs ending in -ly, and the.


THAT is considered a filler word, meaning it just adds space on the page. As much as possible go through your writing and try to delete “that.” It will make your writing and…

Escaping to the country

Petchary's Blog

We had the opportunity for a short break, and it was wonderful. We got out of town.

The weather in western Jamaica changed every moment. There was a rushing in the trees as rain approached. The fan palms rattled and the traveller’s palms tilted (I need to write something about palm trees, soon). After a brisk shower of five or ten minutes, azure blue skies decorated with white clouds reappeared. Then, a distant rumble of thunder – just one. The next morning the skies were pale gold, and in the evening, clouds in fanciful shapes reared their heads. Negril is famous for its sunsets.

Here are a few photos from our little escape… Bright gardens, majestic trees, and a stretch of sand.

CLIMATE CHANGE. WE ARE DEFINITELY WORTH IT.🌧🌧🏞

The Baked BLOGGER!!

I truly believe, after thousands of conversations that I’ve had over the past many years and more, that just about every single person in the world already has the values they need to care about a changing climate. They just haven’t connected the dots. And that’s what we can do through our conversation with them.”

Imagine being able to invite some of the leading minds of the climate movement over for dinner. You could pick anyone from anywhere. Who would be sitting around your table?

It’s hard to narrow down when there are so many amazing people out there fighting for solutions. (This must have been how Nick Fury felt while he was assembling the Avengers, right?) But, for us, we would try to pick people who are taking on the climate crisis in totally different – but equally incredible – ways.

There is broad scientific consensus that human activities…

Awareness to the worldwide People.

All countries are not showing their actual data and All countries are hiding their actual data during this epidemic / and this is not applicable to any particular country.

Making Vaccines Fun Again

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

I can remember when the polio vaccine was converted from a shot to a sugar cube. The cube was better, even though standing in line wasn’t much fun.

Now we have a new, creative twist from Romania, of all places. According to the AP this morning, the government is using the location of Bran Castle, the reputed inspiration for the book, Dracula, as a vaccination site. The site is known as Dracula’s Castle.

Those brave enough to get a Pfizer vaccine shot receive a “vaccination diploma,” which is aptly illustrated with a fanged medical worker brandishing a syringe.

Why not?

If LA teamed with Mickey Mouse, could we get a 90% vaccination rate?
