No immunity? COVID-19 reinfection ‘common’ in healthy young adults, study shows – Study Finds
“Our findings indicate that reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 in healthy young adults is common,” says senior author, Dr. Stuart Sealfon, in a statement. “Young people should get the vaccine whenever possible, since vaccination is necessary to boost immune responses, prevent reinfection, and reduce transmission.”
The study, which is part of the COVID-19 Health Action Response for Marines (CHARM), measured reinfection in more than 3,000 young, healthy U.S. Marines recruits over the course of six weeks. Study participants were predominantly male (92%) between the ages 18 and 20.

PM Holness, NEPA, KSAMC, NWA – Is Anyone Listening? Communities’ calls for Green, People-Friendly Urban Planning Go Unanswered
I wrote recently about the “uglification” of Kingston. While downtown Kingston is (thankfully) getting some of the attention it deserves, further uptown it’s a developer’s paradise, a free for all.
This article from the Golden Triangle Neighbourhood Association – which represents everyone who lives, works, or does business in the area – points out that letters and representations of various kinds to the relevant Government authorities, including the Prime Minister himself, regarding a range of concerns have been met with…stony silence.
The multiple concerns of the GTNA are complex and serious. The GTNA’s vision, which it is doggedly pursuing, is to create a liveable community for everyone to live, work, and play in. Green space! Public parks! Trees! Wider sidewalks! Space for other road users, besides motor vehicles! Meanwhile, the powers that be are silent and unresponsive.
By the way, the GTNA is also waiting for a positive response…

Shah Rukh’s little secret… psst…
Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA
So, I have been involved with the culinary arts, since a dozen year ago when I did start. By that I mean, I held a knife in my hand. And close to a flame, I did stand. So, it's been twelve years I've been chopping onions. And sure, there are kitchen hacks in the million. And I know I've tried them all. But, this vegetable is my downfall. This is one thing I absolutely dislike. Chopping onions like I'm on a depressant spike. With tears rolling down. My nose as red as a clown's. Yeah, I do the drill and that makes chopping relatively better. But, they like to latch on to my eyes, damn you sulphur! I despise this task assigned to me in front of anybody. Because it just makes me look like an amateur rookie. They say Shah Rukh Khan can cry on demand for a scene…

Recipe: Beetroot and Potato sabzi
Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA
There was a sale on beets and I decided to buy them. Usually, I just make salads, beet pulao, beet Sichuan fried rice, beet soup or use it to add natural colour and sweetness to my north Indian gravies. But, 500gms of beet is a bit much for any of these. So, I decided to experiment. I’ve been doing a lot of that off late. And to be honest, I’ve been pleasantly surprised most of the times. I tried to balance the sweetness of the beets with tartness from tomatoes and vinegar and a nice punch of heat from the chilies and garlic. I made a semi dry sabzi that would marry well with any Indian flatbread. It tasted so delicious. I definitely see how it can appear to be unappetizing. The deep wine shade had that effect on me too. But, if you can get past the pink hues…

الديموقراطية فى مجتمع جاهل
Democracy is not just a ballot box, but rather an environment that allows good education, freedom and a decent life for all members of the people, while ensuring that there is no persecution and discrimination under any circumstances and reasons that may lead to that. The free individual is the
الديموقراطية هى مصطلح ظهر فى اليونان القديمة بمعنى حكم الشعب وسلطة الشعب من خلال حكم نفسه بنفسه حيث يصبح الشعب مصدر السلطات فى الدولة من إختيار الحكومة ونظام الحكم السائد فى الدولة والقوانين التى يخضع لها الجميع , وظهرت الديموقراطية فى المجتمع اليونانى نتيجة إنقسام المجتمع لطوائف متعددة تختلف فى الحقوق والواجبات مثل طبقات (العبيد والأحرار والسياسيين والتجار والجنود وقادة الجيش والمزارعين ) , ومن هنا كانت الحاجة للديموقراطية لإعطاء الجميع الحق فى إدارة شئون البلاد وممارسة كافة الحقوق السياسية .
أنواع الديموقراطية :
_ ديموقراطية مباشرة : يقوم الشعب فيها بالتصويت على قرارات الحكومة والقوانين بشكل مباشر دون وسيط أو نائب عنه وهو النظام المعمول به فى أثينا القديمة ويتم تطبيقه حاليا فى دولة سويسرا .
_ ديموقراطية نيابية : يقوم الشعب فيها باختيار أعضاء يمثلوه فى الحكومة أو فى المجالس النيابية المختلفة , ويقوم هؤلاء النواب بدورهم بإصدار قرارات إدارة الدولة والقوانين المعمول بها وهو النظام السارى فى…

Angkor – Dschungeltempel im Würgegriff
The Ta Prohm Buddhist Temple, built around 1200 under Jayavarman VII, is one of the largest and most fascinating sights in the Angkor Archaeological Park in Cambodia. Since the decision was made not to clear the overgrown jungle at this temple, it has been one of the most picturesque ruins of Angkor.
Der buddhistische Tempel Ta Prohm, der um 1200 unter Jayavarman VII errichtet wurde, ist eine der größten und faszinierendsten Sehenswürdigkeiten im archäologischen Park Angkor in Kambodscha. Seit man sich dazu entschlossen hatte, den wuchernden Dschungel an diesem Tempel nicht zu roden, gehört er zu den malerischsten Ruinen von Angkor.

Woman or no-one
I am on the outside always looking in. Will I ever be more than I’ve always been?
Will I ever fly in the sky where I had always dreamed to go or will I always have my feet tied to stone?
Will I be able to go back to where it all started and mend that piece of my life which was broken or
Will I have to compromise in every step of my life just because I am a woman?
It has not been long since I realised that I am equally at fault for whatever that’s going on in my life but it has been very long enough to go back to do the right thing which was supposed to be done.
Will I ever be the woman of my dream that I had dreamt to become, the honest, the truthful and the happy one.
Or will I end…
