🌞 Rise and Shine

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” -Marcus Aurelius
This morning, the alarm clock went off, and perhaps you pushed the snooze button or maybe not. Yet whether or not you wanted to get out of bed, you probably had to. You may not feel like going to work or wherever you need to be this morning, but why waste the day moping, zapped from the energy to make the day count with productivity from the opportunity this day presents? Too often we miss the precious chances that could elevate us to a new level simply because we just didn’t feel like getting out of bed.
So today, take a moment to reflect on the possibilities that could champion you to look better, be better and do better…

lavender lines
by Jeff Flesch, Monthly Contributor
site: Develop. Inspire. Transform, and on Twitter.
tumbleweeds thread the head of a pin
while the size of our love’s always been
reminiscent of the dreams laden in your hands
like the flavor of morning dew
know that I’ve always seen you
in my mind
a place in my heart you always reside
while lavender fills the lines
and the love within me shines
together with the sun, the moon, and the stars
awaiting the next time
we hold hands under a canopy of two hearts
forevermore entwined

Two Thought Thursday -La Casa de Papel (Money Heist), on Empathy for the Sociopaths in our Lives??
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
My questions today are some I’ve asked before, but not gotten a response (pardon if I’m forgetting someone’s reply):
1.) Ought we to work toward having empathy for those, like a Sociopath such as Berlin, or a sociopath, such as Arturo, who have no empathy?
2.) Why, or why not?
My reaction this week tries not to spoil the episode: Cuestión de eficacia, and gives random reactions in the original Spanish, and most of the time in English, for the majority of my current readers:

cap. 12
Of course: the Prof. knew he’d be searched!

Our nature and purpose
There are times when we have to become aware of our true nature and purpose by stopping to be influenced by other people’s paths.

Farro -Triticum spp.
Atlante delle coltivazioni erbacee- Cereali
Classe: Monocotyledones
Ordine: Glumiflorae
Famiglia: Graminaceae (Gramineae o Poaceae)
Tribù: Hordeae
Specie: Triticum spp.
Farro piccoloTriticum monococcum L.
Farro medioo semplicemente Farro Triticum dicoccum Schrank – Sin. Triticum dicoccum Schübler
Farro grande, o granfarro ospeltaTriticum spelta L.
Origine e diffusione
Farro è denominazione generica attribuita indifferentemente a ben tre specie diverse del genere Triticum, comunemente chiamate “frumenti vestiti”. Fino agli inizi del ‘900 la loro coltivazione era diffusa in alcune valli dell’Appennino e in diverse zone montane d’Italia; in seguito è quasi scomparsa. Caratteristiche comuni ai tre tipi sono la fragilità del rachide della spiga e l’aderenza delle glume e delle glumelle alla cariosside, in conseguenza delle quali durante la trebbiatura il rachide si disarticola facilmente liberando spighette intere contenenti cariossidi che rimangono avvolte (“vestite”, da cui il nome di grani vestiti) dagli involucri glumeali. Per ottenere la granella nuda è necessaria…

A Virus Like Any Other
Maybe that’s not a good thing.
Run-of-the-mill influenza sometimes causes heart problems and can cause death. The conventional wisdom has been that the underlying cause of heart issues is severe inflammation of the lungs.
New research from labs at Ohio State indicates that this conventional wisdom is wrong. By genetically altering the flu virus, researchers were able to show that the flu cannot harm the heart unless it can directly infect it. Lung inflammation is insufficient of itself to cause major heart damage.
Instead, the Ohio State University study revealed, the electrical malfunctions and heart scarring seen in some of the sickest flu patients are caused by direct influenza infection of cardiac cells.

This in turn raises a number of issues that had not been considered:
- What areas of the heart are most vulnerable to flu?
- How should we be testing for the presence of the flu virus…

Komodo National Park, Indonesia – Nacionalni park Komodo, Indonezija — Myrela

Zahvaljujući njegovoj veličini, stanovnici ovih ostrva nazivali su ga buaja darat (“kopneni krokodil”), pošto odrasla jedinka može imati dužinu od tri metra i masu od 70 kilograma, ali komodo zmaj (Varanus komodoensis) nije krokodil već pripada porodici Varanidae, čiji su članovi gušteri. Buaja darat je najveći predstavnik reda gmizavaca s krljuštima koji istraživačima pruža odličnu […]
