Day 62/67 of GED in Five Months, Perpetual Motion, and graphic proof

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

If proof lies in seeing with our own eyes, then those ideas which you can graph and derive from laws must be true, or are they?

Like the moon forever in orbit around the earth, some proofs take a bit more time than others…

Today’s reading: Newton’s laws of motion need to be examined in greater detail in order to answer questions that derive from those laws, just as in mathematics, one derives a proof from various postulates and laws of mathematics.

As it turns out, the moon is very nearly a perpetual motion machine. It goes around the earth every month and has been doing so at almost constant speed for a very long time. Even so, with advanced instruments and careful measurements, we can determine that the moon’s motion is changing: it gets farther away from the earth on average by about two centimeters each year…

Lolla-Pa-Whazzit???

Filosofa's Word

Take a look at the above picture.  How many people do you see wearing a mask?  Look how close the people are.  Social distancing?  HAH!  I think not!  This was the scene at the 4-day music festival in Chicago called Lollapalooza held this past weekend.  Approximately 100,000 people attended each of the four days.  To attend, people had to either provide a Covid-19 vaccine card or proof of a negative Covid-19 test from the previous 72 hours.  Big f*cking deal.  This event should not have even been held, but to allow nearly a half-million people during the event to mix and mingle sans masks is the height of stupidity.

My daughter is a member of the Cincinnati Caledonian Pipes and Drums band, and as such they typically play at 15-20 events in the eastern half of the U.S. and Canada each year, including a Winter Storm festival in St. Louis…

Florida and Texas lead US COVID-19 surge | CIDRAP

Over the weekend, COVID-19 cases continued to surge across the country with Florida experiencing record daily highs of new cases and hospitalizations. The current surge of virus activity is due to the highly transmissible Delta (B1617.2) variant.

Yesterday the country reported 25,141 new COVID-19 cases, and 71 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 tracker. In total, America has confirmed 35,020,438 COVID-19 cases, including 613,254 deaths.

The 7-day average of new daily COVID-19 cases is 78,472, according to data from the Washington Post. New daily cases rose 54.2% over the past week, while deaths rose by 31.6% and hospitalizations by 42.2%.

The outbreak is concentrated in areas with low vaccination coverage. Today Jeff Zients, the head of the White House COVID-19 response said 1 in 3 cases nationwide occurred in Florida or Texas this week.

The 7-day average of new daily cases is now higher than the peak of last summer.

“While we desperately want to be done with the pandemic, COVID-19 is not done with us,” Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said at a White House briefing. “Our battle must last longer. This is hard this is heavy, we are in this together.”

AGOSTO LILÁS

Violence against women…

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A violência contra a mulher é um problema social grave. Na verdade, eu considero a violência como um “nervo exposto”. Por que estou usando essa expressão? Porque seguindo ao pé da letra, um nervo exposto é aquilo que ” que qualquer coisa que venha bater em cima”, machuca, faz sangrar…”. Você consegue compreender o porquê de tal comparação? Pois bem, a violência machuca, seja na sua forma sutil ou carregada de agressividade. O que quero dizer é que, de qualquer forma, o seu resultado é danoso.

O ” Agosto Lilás ” trás uma proposta muito boa que é oferecer proteção à mulher que é vítima da violência. Mas, não é só isso, há um trabalho de conscientização que faz um alerta a sociedade para que esta, possa se sensibilizar diante desse problema, e contribua para o fim dessa violência. Como? Fazendo campanhas de conscientização, distribuição de panfletos, paletras e outros…
