Letter XII                                                       ?? Problems ??                                           0800 Sunday 9/3/44

Dear Mom,  We will start off first with “Webster’s” definition of the word — problem.  “A question for solution, and a proposition to be demonstrated.”  This is all very true, only in the army, although it is demonstrated, it never turns out in a satisfactory solution.

For some unknown reason, the hint of a problem soon-to-be gets around long before it is ever officially announced.  When once you hear about it, you begin to wonder just how you will get out of going and wonder if going on sick call will help.  The best thing is to try to…

LAUSD’s COVID-19 testing effort is key as schools reopen – Los Angeles Times

Emilio Mendoza, 7, held a toy plane as he stood in the queue with his parents. At the check-in table, Emilio pumped hand sanitizer into his palms and rubbed them together. The technician showed him the swab and explained how it worked. She counted out loud to 15 as Emilio followed along on his fingers — and then it was over. In 24 hours Emilio’s parents were texted the result: negative.

“He’s not vaccinated, so for us, it’s always going to be a little bit of a concern, uncertainty, especially if there are outbreaks,” said his mother Liliana Curioca, who is also a Telfair teacher. “But testing will help.”

Emilio’s nasal swab test is a starting point in L.A. Unified’s colossal effort to screen every single student, teacher and staff member — more than half a million people — once a week for the foreseeable future.

O relacionamento abusivo impactua a sua autoestima

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” O relacionamento abusivo impactua a sua autoestima” fazendo com que você duvide de tudo, até da sua própria percepção a respeito das coisas.

Marii Freire Pereira

Muitas mulheres sofrem contratempos como esse, ou seja, vivem um relacionamento doentio, procurando encontrar a própria sorte, e aí se deparam diante do abismo ( abusos do parceiro), e a maioria, muitas têm isso como gratidão por compreender que o segredo do amor reside na luta pela superação dos problemas entre o casal. Quer dizer, vivem o tempo inteiro dentro de uma falsa “segurança “, porque são manipuladas constantemente, retendo para si, o peso de uma culpa que não carregam, que essa é muitas vezes, resultado da incompreensão do companheiro, os tapas, empurrões, um tom de voz mais elevado, as humilhações, a diminuição da autoestima dessa mulher que vira um problema de saúde, pois ela passa a desenvolver ansiedade, medo, depressão. Tudo isso…

Presentación del libro Tenencias de Morelia, sus colores, sus rostros, sus sabores

Fue una de esas presentaciones que quedan en la memoria, en los sentimientos, acaso por el ambiente, probablemente por su significado, quizá por la gente con la que uno coincide, tal vez por eso y más. Cada presentación literaria, en mi vida de escritor, ha tenido un rostro, un detalle, un motivo, y no olvido ninguna, desde la de mi primer libro, a la edad de 20 años, en el vestíbulo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, en la Ciudad de México, hasta la que hoy reseño con el deleite de lo que significó para mí.

Llegué puntual a la Casona de Villalongín, en el centro histórico de Morelia*, donde todos los invitados permanecían formados, en orden y con respeto, para seguir los protocolos sanitarios y evitar, por lo mismo, contagios de COVID-19. Había, en la fila, periodistas, empleados y…
