Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C. – White House Historical Association

Organized by the black elite of the city, the parades began in 1866 as a demonstration of African-American pride and political strength. School children often took a day off in order to watch all the black civic organizations and clubs march in the parade. Militia groups and Civil War veterans marched in full regalia with slogans on banners that called for liberty and equality for all citizens. 1

 Rain or shine the emancipation parades went on, all throughout the city in stark contrast to the black codes of the antebellum era, which restricted the movement of African Americans throughout the city. Where slave coffles had once passed, free African Americans now marched openly rejoicing their new status as citizens.

Alphabet soup for the soul – “Y”

Words from Walden

“Believe you can and your halfway there”

-Theodore Roosevelt-

Y is for You

You have everything you need inside you already.

You have energy and light and electricity coursing through your veins so you have access to higher dimensions and realms that can not be measured by science.

You are electric, your thoughts are liquid.

You are a wave of light and energy.

You are a radio and every single moment, you are transmitting your vibration across the universe. A big part of the vibration signal you send out is based on what you feel as a body and what you think as a mind. And, therein lies the problem.

As the French philosopher , Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said;

“We are not Human beings having a spiritual experience;

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Those who are spiritual will understand this while

Those who are not, suffer…

Fighting Viruses

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

A new article in Lancet about the failure to eliminate polio as a disease may help us think about how we deal with COVID.

Based on experience in fighting smallpox, a campaign to eradicate the polio virus began in 1988, with the goal of complete elimination of the virus by 2000. Needless to say, the campaign failed, for a variety of reasons:

  • Scientists learned about virus mutations, and that the virus could change to deal with vaccine used against it. That doesn’t sound like rocket science now, but it was thirty years ago.
  • Scientists learned that vaccines using live virus components could complicate eradication. That’s why we don’t use them today. Again, not rocket science now, but something we needed to learn.
  • We’ve learned that reluctance to be vaccinated helps keep the virus alive and dangerous. Again, logically, no surprise, but there are too many people who don’t understand that…

Vitamin B, and Biting Insects

beetleypete

Any regular reader of this blog will know that I often post about the fact that I get badly bitten by insects. Midges, mosquitoes, horsefiles, in fact anything that will bite a human to suck blood. I have spent my life trying to minimize this annual misery by taking tablets, covering my exposed skin in creams and repellent sprays, and wearing wristbands containing chemicals that they are not supposed to like.

Some years, all of that helps to keep the bites to a minimum, but it can often make no difference whatsoever.

Once the insects started to hatch out in May, I soon began to get bites while out walking with Ollie, even though the weather was wet and not very warm. Out came the sprays, and on went the wristbands, but I still had some large bites on my head and legs.

Just over a week ago, my wife…

“Kale” Caesar Salad

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Chow Down: “Kale” Caesar Salad! Isn’t it entertaining to take ordinary food, mix it up a bit, and then give it a new name? That’s exactly what I did with the traditional Caesar salad. By partnering tender baby kale with sturdy romaine leaves, it creates a blend that is satisfying to the taste buds. The creamy Caesar dressing alone brings a nice anchovy flavor to the salad with a robust hint of garlic. Just think what would happen if we added grilled chicken. The possibilities are endless.

“KALE” CAESAR SALAD

Ingredients:

2 cups baby kale, gently torn

2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded

4 radishes, sliced

1 shallot, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Kosher salt, to taste

4 tablespoons prepared Caesar dressing

1/3 cup garlic croutons

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shaved

1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Cracked black pepper, to taste

Pokrajinski park dinosaurusa, Alberta, Kanada – Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada

Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada

Myrela

Za tim paleontologa iz Muzeja Rojal Tirel u Dramheleru, bivšem rudarskom gradiću u kanadskoj pokrajini Alberta, godina 2000. bila je veoma uspješna. Kao i obično, bili su zauzeti iskopavanjima na obalama rijeke Red Dir. Prema pisanoj izjavi Dona Brinkmana, koordinatora Programa za istraživanje dinosaurusa, naučnici su – uz pomoć osam studenata i 25 volontera koji su željeli da prisustvuju paleontološkom iskopavanju – otkopali cijeli skelet Dasplaetosaura, čije je otkopavanje započeto prethodne godine. Otkrili su novi fosil krupnog mesoždera, kojem je dio lobanje bio na otvorenom. Ali, najzanimljivije otkriće bilo je otkriće para kopnenih kornjača roda Basilemys, iz kasne krede, čije je oklope po svemu sudeći, smrskao neki sauropod (podred gušterolikih dinosaurusa, prim.prev.) u prolazu. Oblast Parka dinosaurusa u Alberti predstavlja jedan od najzanimljivijih nalazišta fosila iz doba krede još otkad je otkriveno krajem XIX vijeka. A Paleontološki muzej Rojal Tirel, poznat kao jedan od najboljih muzeja u…

Title : 💖An Untold Love story💖

An entangled sentiment

When I close my eyes

I feel your warmth touch full of predilection

When the night can be seen in the quiet reflection

I admire his beaming face

I wonder what magic he makes

Won’t let me resist by any means

Such a heavenly emotion I sense in my dreams

I can always feel from your expressions

Your pure heart and all your affection

Your tender and care means the world

And I don’t need anything anymore

You have taught me to love life

You have shown me how to live

When you hold my hand I feel

As if It’s just you and me

I remember the way he smiled

The sparkles appeared in his eyes

His red cheeks and his hair

Reminded me of the times we shared

The love for each other was true

Together we would…
