Lei n° 14.188/ 2021

Vivaldi translation for Law 14.188 – 2021: We have to understand that no achievement is by chance. Before this AWARENESS became law, many women suffered, some even questioning their look about their behavior, I say “asking about their behavior” …When in fact, the man was the one who undermined a whole situation, making it even greater all that state of suffering. So this achievement is mainly the result of suffering, let’s put it that way, and of a group of professionals who took into account the consequences of all this for the “health and safety” of women. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Temos que compreender que nenhuma conquista é por acaso. Antes dessa CONSCIÊNCIA se tornar lei, muitas mulheres sofreram, algumas, até questionando o seu olhar sobre a sua condutas, digo ” se perguntando a respeito de seu comportamento” …Quando na verdade, o homem era quem minava toda uma situação, tornando ainda maior todo aquele estado de sofrimento. Então essa conquista é resultado principalmente do sofrimento, vamos colocar dessa forma, e de um conjunto de profissionais que levou em consideração as consequências de tudo isso para a “saúde e segurança” da mulher. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Saturday Surprise!!!

Filosofa's Word

SURPRISE!!!!  It’s a Fred-in-the-Box!!!

Given an over-abundance of angst and exhaustion, both mental and physical, I am taking the very lazy way out tonight and reduxing one of my first Saturday Surprise posts.  Naturally, you won’t be surprised to learn it’s a critter post!  This was first posted in 2017 at a time when I apparently felt much as I do tonight!  Still, the cuteness factor never loses its charm.  I hope you enjoy these …


Well, folks, it’s been a long week … what?  You say it was actually a short week, since Monday was a holiday?  Sigh.  Then it’s been an even longer week — a long, short week, as it were.  I don’t know about you guys, but I am t-i-r-e-d.  So, I’ve decided to take a little break from doing much writing today and just show you some cute/funny animals.  I like animals.  They do not…

Hoy visité mi tumba

Santiago Galicia Rojon Serrallonga

Hoy visité mi tumba, y allí estoy, en arcilla y en polvo, no sé desde qué fecha, yerto, irreconocible, silencioso, con esa quietud que tienen los muertos al encontrarse tan ausentes y rotos. Esta tarde, al llover, fui hasta mi sepulcro, donde leí mi nombre y mis apellidos, y no miré, como esperaba, el día y el mes de mi hora postrera y de mi partida a otras fronteras, únicamente con la sospecha de que allí quedé, abandonado, sin flores ni suspiros renovados, Tras el dolor, las lágrimas y el sufrimiento, la gente se acostumbra a las ausencias y luego olvida. Este día caminé por calzadas desoladas y melancólicas, cubiertas, aquí y allá, de charcos que reflejan nubes plomadas, árboles con follaje agachado y monumentos pétreos y marmóreos. Observé los perfiles y los rostros sepulcrales, asomados al lado de…

Some Covid Vaccine Hesitant Now Express Regret – The New York Times

As Mindy Greene spent another day in the Covid intensive care unit, listening to the whirring machines that now breathed for her 42-year-old husband, Russ, she opened her phone and tapped out a message.

“We did not get the vaccine,” she wrote on Facebook. “I read all kinds of things about the vaccine and it scared me. So I made the decision and prayed about it and got the impression that we would be ok.”

They were not.

Her husband, the father to their four children, was now hovering between life and death, tentacles of tubes spilling from his body. The patient in the room next to her husband’s had died hours earlier. That day, July 13, Ms. Greene decided to add her voice to an unlikely group of people speaking out in the polarized national debate over vaccination: the remorseful.

“If I had the information I have today we would have gotten vaccinated,” Ms. Greene wrote. Come what may, she hit “send.”

John Adams, SSWHS’s director, said: “We could not be more pleased about the outcome of the legal challenge.

“Now that we are facing a climate emergency, it is all the more important that this ruling should be a wake-up call for the government.

“It should look again at its roads programme and take action to reduce road traffic and eliminate any need to build new and wider roads that threaten the environment as well as our cultural heritage.”

COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Cases Are Extremely Rare, According to KFF State Data Analysis | KFF

After a review of the websites of all states and D.C. and other official sources, the new analysis found that half of states (25) report some data on COVID-19 breakthrough events. Within that, 15 states report these data on a weekly basis and one state reports on a daily basis, while the other nine report more infrequently. Overall, the data found that breakthrough events are extremely rare among those who are fully vaccinated, and that the vast majority of reported COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in U.S. are among those who are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated. Some key highlights include:

  • The rate of breakthrough cases reported among those fully vaccinated is well below 1% in all reporting states, with Connecticut the lowest (0.01%) and Oklahoma the highest (0.9%). Hospitalization rates among those unvaccinated ranged from effectively zero (0.00%) in California, Delaware, D.C., Indiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont, and Virginia to 0.06% in Arkansas. Death rates were even lower at 0.00% for all but two states, Arkansas and Michigan, where they were 0.01%.
  • More than 9 in 10 COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths occurred among people who are unvaccinated or not yet fully vaccinated. The share of COVID-19 cases among those not fully vaccinated ranged from 92.02% in Oklahoma to 99.85% in Connecticut.

“Get di jook, man!” More vaccines have arrived in Kingston, Jamaica.

Petchary's Blog

This afternoon, Minister of Health and Wellness Christopher Tufton tweeted footage of a British Airways plane taxiing on the runway at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston with 300,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Not only Minister Tufton, but Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Kamina Johnson Smith were there. The full works.

British High Commissioner Asif Ahmad attempted some patois while making a speech at a podium in front of the plane: “Get di jook, man.”

The vaccines arrive. (Minister Tufton’s Twitter)

Meanwhile, the vaccines are on their way to the various vaccination centres across the island, as I write. If you need your first dose, you can get it if you are over 18. Here is the information from the Ministry of Health and Wellness:

Social Disintegration of Society (In the Present) Through the Eyes of Emile Durkheim

5thGenerationgirl

One of the founders of Sociology

According to “Ritzer’s” Introduction of Sociology, Durkheim believed that the educational system should provide individuals with training for life in a broader society. He taught sociology of morality in hopes of the moral system being passed on to young people. His perspective was that society is held together by mechanical solidarity (a social/moral consensus). The subject of morality was his main focus of study. “Each society is unique, with it’s own needs and norms”. People go about their daily lives probably without giving much thought to how or why human beings operate the way we do. Some may assume that society maintains order and stability because we have laws that govern our actions. Yet there are those who break the law even while being completely aware of the consequences. So what is the “glue” that holds society together? Durkheim calls it the “Core Value…
