Apple Issues Emergency Security Updates to Close a Spyware Flaw – The New York Times

In July, NSO Group became the subject of intense media scrutiny after Amnesty International, the human rights watchdog, and Forbidden Stories, a group that focuses on free speech, teamed up with a consortium of media organizations on “The Pegasus Project” to publish a list they said contained some 50,000 people — including hundreds of journalists, government leaders, dissidents and activists — selected as targets by NSO’s clients.

I Got A ‘Mild’ Breakthrough Case. Here’s What I Wish I’d Known | LAist

And my advice is different now when friends and family tell me they want to avoid having a breakthrough case like mine: Don’t leave it all up to the vaccine. Wear masks, stay away from big gatherings with unvaccinated people, cut down on travel, at least until things calm down.

The U.S. is averaging more than 130,000 coronavirus infections a day (about twice what it was when I fell sick), hospitals are being crushed and the White House has proposed booster shots. Scientists are still making sense of what’s happening with breakthrough cases.

What’s clear is that in many parts of the U.S., we’re all more likely to run into the virus than we were in the spring. “Your risk is going to be different if you are in a place that’s very highly vaccinated, with very low level of community spread,” says Dr. Preeti Malani, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Michigan. “The piece that’s important is what’s happening in your community.”

Even with delta, the goal is not to go back to a lockdown mindset, though, says Malani. “My hope is that people who are fully vaccinated should really feel like this risk is manageable.”

“Feel good about spending time with your friends, or having a small dinner party, but make sure everyone is vaccinated,” she says.

Project works with farmers to restore Brazilian pine forests

“Paraná is the state that has cut down the most Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil over the last twenty years,” says Schrappe. “We continue to destroy the few remaining pristine forests. It is an outdated culture in which nature is seen as a roadblock to development. Our challenge is to increase awareness and grow support from society to protect forests — to create a perspective that sees nature as an integral part of business.” Source: Project works with farmers to restore Brazilian pine forests

Straccetti di peperoni al gratin con capperi e olive

InTheNameOfSeitan

I peperoni sono ortaggi ipocalorici, coloratissimi e gustosissimi!
Composti dal quasi 90% di acqua sono una buona fonte sali minerali, tra cui potassio, fosforo, magnesio e ferro.
Non tutti sanno che in quanto a vitamina C battono anche gli agrumi, e hanno inoltre un contenuto piuttosto elevato di fibre.

(mi limiterò a darvi gli ingredienti… per i quantitativi calcolate circa 1 peperone di media grandezza a testa)

Ingredienti :

Prendiamo i peperoni e laviamoli ben bene

IMG_1458Disponiamoli su una placca da forno e facciamoli scottare in forno con cottura a grill per scarsi 25/30 minuti.

Mulheres nativas, mulheres originais: « Reflorestar espíritos para a cura da Terra! » — Mágica Mistura✨

Barbara Crane Navarro

Por enquanto, há um voto contra o «Marco Temporal» e a favor dos povos indígenas do Ministro Edson Fachin que disse: «Não há maior segurança jurídica do que cumprir a Constituição.»

Os direitos indígenas são FUNDAMENTAIS!

O Ministro Nunes Marques iniciou sua argumentação sem indicar que linha tomaria.

A votação continuará na próxima semana, dia 15.

De 7 a 11 de setembro, vários milhares de mulheres de 150 nações indígenas se reuniram para marchar juntas em Brasília em favor dos direitos garantidos a elas na Constituição do Brasil e contra o limite do «marco temporal» e outras políticas anti-nativos do Presidente Bolsonaro. 27 morewords

Minbari Mondays, The Long Dark, and, mental health care in outer space

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

 

“Now what would a guy with everything in the world do with one of those?”

Good question, coming from a homeless combat veteran suffering from nightmares and flashbacks, in response to Garibaldi’s suggestion that he knows some good therapists.  Just before that, Garibaldi tells a young security officer that he knows this “lurker” served in the infantry because, while watching the homeless “lurker” having a nightmare, he tells the young security officer that

“I’ve had that same dream.”

Hence, as the Minbari often reminds us, history matters.  And so does health care.
