Kansas governor vetoes bill on child COVID-19 vaccines, authority of health officials – The Lawrence Times

Gov. Laura Kelly shot down an anti-vaccination bill that would have blocked child COVID-19 vaccination requirements and stripped authority from public health officials, a move greeted with outrage from Republican leaders in the Legislature.

House Bill 2285, sent to Kelly’s desk in the last days of the legislative session, narrowly passed the House 63-56 and the Senate 22-18. The bill would ban state and county public health officials from issuing preventative measures — such as testing and quarantine — to halt the spread of infectious diseases.

Review: The History of Black Slavery in Pueto Rico/ Revista: Historia de La Esclavitud Negra En Puerto Rico

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

Historia de La Esclavitud Negra En Puerto Rico by Luis M. Soler

   This book, in my opinion, is worth keeping handy, and with a good library, and after having learned to read both Spanish and French, as well.  It was available freely online as a pdf document, via a university library system if I recall correctly, back when I first read it in 2015 or so, but I have not searched for it since then.

Te amo

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Meus olhos agora, contemplam o eterno

A vida que pousa sobre a esperança

Do amor e sua bondade

Amor! Beija- me a face de luz

Com sua boca delicada

toques leves e nostálgicos!

Fecham os olhos e contempla a natureza

Sinta o seu frescor

E que nesse sentir

Nasça a magia de um coração ardente e palpitante

Que a tua boca ao tocar a minha

Vista-se de um único desejo

Debaixo de um céu que inclina dois corações na mesma direção

Te amo!

Como agora, no silêncio

Diante do manto do Sol…olhando para o infinito

Cerro o meu olhar em direção ao vago

brilho …

Que entre versos

Leva o meu coração até a ti

Devagarinho …

Como sei que me leva contigo.

Marii Freire.

If We Cannot See It, Is It Real? | Filosofa’s Word

When we cannot breathe the air, when there is no potable water to drink, and when food shortages mean that not only we cannot afford food, but cannot find it, I think things like the price of fuel and immigration will be the least of our worries.  Our children and grandchildren will look back and ask why we didn’t take it more seriously when we had a real chance of reversing the damage, but instead left the problems to them.
