Jamaica’s COVID-19 vaccination program gets a shot in the arm (and a note on testing)

Petchary's Blog

Firstly, the good news: the U.S. Government has provided more support for the COVID-19 vaccine efforts in Jamaica…

The United States government, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Caribbean Regional Office and its COVID-19 International Vaccine Implementation and Evaluation Program is supporting Jamaica’s Rapid COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Program with $190K USD, approximately J$29M, to aid in staff training and the procurement of supplies including mobile beds, oxygen, emergency trollies, and tents. The funding provided will also aid in the retention of staff to support vaccine rollout.

This donation builds on a total J$1.8 billion (US$12M), the United States has provided toward Jamaica’s national COVID-19 response since the onset of the pandemic.

The CDC Caribbean Regional Office also facilitated a partnership with Peace Corps and Jamaica’s Ministry of Health & Wellness through which Peace Crops will provide additional human resource support to the vaccination rapid response efforts. On…

Ele vai mudar

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

( A idealização do príncipe)

É comum em muitos relacionamentos a mulher dizer a seguinte frase ” Ele vai mudar”. Ela afirma isso com convicção ao ponto de acreditar. Claro – é natural que acredite mesmo, porque a paixão tem uma estreita ligação com a idealização do parceiro ideal. A mulher sempre espera encontrar a ideia do príncipe vendido nos contos de fadas. É uma idealização romântica que ela tem em relação ao parceiro que deseja encontrar para a vida toda.

Quando você ama uma pessoa você, espera que os seus desejos mais íntimos possam ser realizados através dos gestos que a pessoa amada possa oferecer; oferecer no sentido de realizar. Quem ama quer se sentir amado, protegido, seguro. Você quando vai buscar alguém para a sua vida, certamente, já tem uma ‘lista emocional’ do que imagina que o outro parceiro seja capaz de fazer para preencher digamos ali “todos…

” Solidão é independência, com ela eu sempre sonhara e obtivera afinal após tantos anos. Era fria, oh Sim, Mas também era silenciosa e grande como o frio espaço silente em que giram as estrelas”

Restul e tăcere

ore de drum

Vicoforte, 2018

Întotdeauna am socotit că tihna piemonteză se datorează numărului mare de sanctuare la care poți să faci popas uitând, pentru o clipă, graba de a ajunge la destinație. Mă urmați într-unul dintre ele?

Am ales Vicoforte, cu bazilica sa începută în 1594 la comanda prințului Carlo Emanuele I, care năzuia să transforme acest loc de cult în panteon al Casei de Savoia.

Dar numai patru membri ai dinastiei, printre care ducesa Margareta de Savoia, fiica întemeietorului, și-au aflat odihna aici.

Mă strecor până în altar, să văd icoana adusă din pădure după ce, în 1592, un vânător a împușcat-o, neîndemânatic. Din susul coloanei, unde era așezată într-un modest tabernacul improvizat, se spune că au picurat stropi sângerii.

Chiar și azi se poate distinge urma rănii, fapt care o îndreptățește a fi considerată o îndrăgită destinație de pelerinaj.

Peste un milion de credincioși trec anual pragul sanctuarului în semn…

Die Große Mauer im Osten Chinas

The Great Wall in eastern China

Senioren um die Welt

Die Große Mauer in China schlängelt sich wie ein riesiger Drache über Wüsten, Grasland und Berge, bis sie schließlich ihr Ziel in Shanhaiguan im Osten Chinas erreicht. Sie ist die längste Mauer der Welt und das größte antike Bauwerk. Für Chinesen ist sie ein starkes Symbol; ein viel zitierter Ausspruch des früheren Staatspräsidenten von China Mao Zedong lautet: “Wer die Große Mauer nicht bestiegen hat, ist kein richtiger Kerl” (Bu Dao Chang Cheng Fei Hao Han). Das ist mit ein Grund, weshalb an arbeitsfreien Tagen manchmal Tausende von Chinesen unterwegs sind, um zumindest einmal im Leben die Große Mauer, Great Wall, zu besteigen.

Carbon capture in Iowa

LANDBACK Friends

There is an ancient Lakota prophecy about a black snake that would slither across the land, desecrating the sacred sites and poisoning the water before destroying the Earth.

The following Includes remarks by my friends Sikowis Nobiss (Great Plains Action Society), Lee Tesdell, Ed Fallon (Bold Iowa).

Great Plains Action Society

December2at4:16PM

Great Plains Action Society is firmly opposed to so-called carbon capture and sequestration or storage (CCS) projects such as the proposed Summit Midwest Carbon Express. ⁣⁣

The reasons for our opposition are numerous, however, our greatest concern is that CCS only serves the interests of the fossil fuel industry. Carbon capture and sequestration is by design a way to prolong the usage of fossil fuels while reducing CO2 emissions. Amidst this climate emergency we must demand a reduction and phasing out of fossil fuels as a wider part of a just transition. ⁣⁣

We are also concerned…

Parashat MiKetz, and Reverse Engineering

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

     This week’s Torah portion is  Parashat MiKetz, and Joseph shows how to start From the End, and plan ahead.  Also known as the process of reverse, or backward, engineering to solve a problem based on the needed outcome, or in this case, the known resource shortage.  Mary Jackson also engineered solutions, also starting from a position of being less respected, like Joseph.  Like Tamar, in last week’s parashah, she had to be daring and resourceful.   Undoubtedly, she drew on resources from the public library system.   She, like both Tamar and Joseph, showed us how to solve problems in the face of adversity.   So, how do we help to build this skill into our entire population,   Thoughtful Readers?

 

Action Prompts:

1.)  Share your thoughts on the long term how problem-solving  education might help keep all of us safer, please.

2.) …
