Physicians caution against working through COVID-19 – Los Angeles Times

Physicians caution, however, that rest is an important part of weathering a COVID-19 infection. Plugging away from home is better than putting others at risk of getting infected, but it can still strain the immune system, worsening the toll of a COVID infection, experts say.

“Sleep equals immunity,” said Dr. Susan Cheng, a cardiologist, researcher and professor in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. As it fights off the virus, “you want to have your immune system not distracted by anything else,” including stress from work.

‘We won’t be destroyed. And we won’t be silenced’ A guide to the most important anti-war initiatives in Russia and abroad — Meduza

Russia has been waging an all-out war against Ukraine for more than four months. During this time, many Russian citizens have openly supported the so-called “special military operation,” but an anti-war movement has also been growing across Russia and abroad. The combined audience of Russian Telegram channels that oppose the war is more than 250,000 people (according to data from Antiwarriors, an independent anti-war project). Together with the editors of the capacity building project Teplitsa: Technologies for Social Good, Meduza rounds up the most significant anti-war initiatives that have emerged since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

To, zapravo, nije bikini, već fascia pectoralis i subligatur, koje su odijevale mlade Rimljanke kada su se bavile gimnastikom. Ipak, mozaik u jednoj od odaja vile u Kazaleu, koji je ovjekovječio te djevojke, morao je imati izvjesnu erotsku vrijednost u doba kada su samo božanstva predstavljana naga. Neobičan prizor samo je jedan od elemenata koji ovu luksuznu vilu čine izuzetnim svjedočanstvom o načinu života i prožimanju kultura, karakterističnom za rimsko carstvo, na vrhuncu njegove moći i početku njegovog opadanja.
