A Few Grumblings & Grousings | Filosofa’s Word

My motivation is skating on thin ice the last day or two, probably because I’m not sleeping well and thus not feeling at the top of my game.  But a few snippets came to me yesterday that I thought to share … France’s very own Trumpian figure … Marine LePen is back.  In case you’ve…

Learning Languages to Greet Strangers in the Street: Empathy or Insanity?

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

R. Nachman of Bratslav said that “The whole world is a very narrow bridge.” If so, then maybe that explains why people tell us not to talk to strangers. I am still glad, though, that I smiled at someone I did not know -who thanked me, and made me grateful to be alive, back in 2005. And even more recently.

Less short version of the story:
When I lived in Izmir, that summer I took long walks on Saturday afternoons. I had the habit of smiling, or at least nodding, to every person I saw because frankly, I hoped someone would smile or nod back at me. At least acknowledge me as a fellow human being, as I tried to do, even passing the homeless people lining the streets as you go into the Metro (in DC).

So, I nodded at a lady in passing, never met her, just kept…

What 9 Noteworthy Things I learned On 9th

On a mission

1. You can’t make an exception from a norm and try to make it a rule. It will die a natural death.

2. What we think theoretically would work because it has worked in the past does not guarantee anything. Check it on your own.

3. What is slow is smooth, what is smooth is fast, and it’s the result orientation.

4. The disease of 100 years old is all taken care of by Vaccination. A few examples which come to my mind are smallpox, measles, polio, etc

5. Today we have more lifestyle diseases. So what started will also end it as well. Of course, one has to take medicine in short term to cure it. One has to be sure it’s helping in curing the cause, not the symptoms.

6. Speed of thought is called stress. Acceleration to thoughts is good but there has to be a brake…

Pied Piper Of Pojhi

Great tale! Thank you for sharing…

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

Tracts of fertile agricultural land stretched as far as the eyes could see. With the changing seasons, the colours of the harvest varied from shades of green to brown to golden to fluorescent yellow, yielding bounties of rice, maize, potatoes, mustard, red gram, and rapeseed. A mix of some thatched huts and other unplastered brick houses of the poor and a few brightly painted and well-done rural bungalows of the affluent scantily dotted the topography.

While patches of groves amidst the vast farmlands provided shade, deep wells and shallow ponds quenched the thirsts of both man and beasts. Cows, buffalos, goats, ducks, chickens, dogs, foxes, mongooses, snakes, frogs and the occasional nilgai Indian antelope often found themselves on the asphalt Patna-Parsa-Siwan State Highway 73 that cut across the region.

Various shops and small businesses haphazardly sprouted on both sides of the highway, bringing a subtle commercial flavour to the predominantly…

After Europe’s latest Covid surge, will the US follow suit? | Coronavirus | The Guardian

But scientists warned this week that the coronavirus will continue evolving to evade immunity, causing future surges that will be difficult to predict.

Covid-19 has evolved faster than expected, and “we should expect a lot of evolution going forward,” Trevor Bedford, a professor of biostatistics at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, told a panel of independent FDA advisers on Wednesday. “Those viruses will do better and will spread locally and perhaps regionally and perhaps globally.”

The US has generally followed surges in the UK three or four weeks later, but reported cases are holding steady at an average of about 26,000 a day. Although deaths have declined significantly from the Omicron peak, more than 500 Americans are still dying every day.
