Doğayı hissetmek 🌸🦋

Feeling nature

kesifyolculugum 🦋💗

Doğayı hissetmek çok güzel🍀🌸

Doğada olmak çok güzel...
Doğada varlığı hissetmek...

Leylakların kokusu geliyor... Kuşların cıvıltıları...
Tatlı tatlı esen rüzgarı hissediyorum tenimde...
Şu an çok güzel...
Anda var olmak çok güzel...

Çimlerin üzerindeki sarı, lila kır çiçeklerini farkediyorum...
Kedilerin mırıltılarını duyuyorum...
Bir tarafta cırcır böcekleri... Doğa canlandı...

Ayaklarım yerde toprağı hissediyorum...
Havayı hissediyorum...
Anın içinde eriyorum...
Sanki herşey bir titreşim...
Hafiflik hissi...
Özü hissetmek,özle bağ kurmak...

Ne geçmiş, ne gelecek, sadece andayım..

English Version of “un air de tranquillité”

Even better the second time around…

pe blog

I would like to share with you my post “un air de tranquillité” translated from French to English on the comment section by the fellow blogger Ned Hamson, Ned Hamson’s Second line view of the News. Thank you. It was a great surprise for me and inspired me to publish it with an other picture…

A very calm, almost deserted beach! The blue sea, the sea breeze! It’s normal if there are a lot of people who find their inspiration at the seaside. Yes, that was long before the Covid-19 pandemic! The moment when we could afford to travel, to make visits and discoveries. Fortunately there are the photos that remain as memories and of course the story to tell to others …

Captured Shots #2 (With a Story!)

The Travelsio

The Cyclone Tauktae, pronounced as Tau’Te hit several states of India including Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat & some parts of Rajasthan too. Even the place where I live (Udaipur, Rajasthan) was in the list of the places where it’ll be showing its effects in the form of heavy rainfall & gusty winds blowing. There was a red alert for our city, including 4 more cities.

As per the reports, it was going to hit the city at 01:00 PM night on 18th of May, 2021. There were winds blowing all the night with continuous rainfall. The sound of winds were so scary that we weren’t able to sleep the whole night. That left me in the thought that how the people of coastal areas survive these devastating cyclones every year.

I took some pictures just after the day it hit out city. These pictures were taken between 1 PM-3 PM. It…

Michael Mina shares insight on how to prevent another pandemic – Harvard Gazette

We have not had to deal with adversity on our shores in any real population-wide way in decades or even longer. We’ve lost track of what it means to act collectively. World War II was a great example of when we said, “We have to work collectively. We have to optimize our response.” By the end of World War II, we were rolling out B24 bombers every 60 minutes. That is something that would have been unfathomable if we were trying to optimize every individual’s safety and well-being and not thinking about the population-level response.

If you go further back and a plague was on board a ship, you’d burn the ship and quarantine every passenger on it. You’d do whatever was needed because the last thing we wanted is for this thing to spread to the population. We’ve advanced from that, but our problem today is that the virus is the same. It doesn’t care. The virus doesn’t feel for our emotions. It’s not an enemy that we can talk down. We can’t bribe a virus with money. It is completely emotionless. There’s nothing we can do to control it, except to control it. I think we have lost all sense of that.

We’re really good in this country at doing biology, at doing medicine. We were able to go from zero to a vaccine finishing phase three trials in months. But we completely fail — always in this country and in many countries — to actually do the public health part. We did all the expensive biological stuff; we did all the fancy stuff that gives people credit, all the doctor-y things, all the technology things. But then when it came to scaling and distributing the vaccine, the not-sexy, public health intervention part, nobody thought about it.

Many deaths in India’s Goa as gov’t fails to ensure oxygen supply | Coronavirus pandemic News | Al Jazeera

Pratik Sawant, president of the Goa Association of Resident Doctors (GARD), told Al Jazeera the hospitals had been overwhelmed with patients in April.

“Against a capacity of 700 beds in GMCH, we had 950 patients. Some of the deaths did occur due to oxygen deficit, but it was a combination of a lack of personnel, dearth of medical equipment, and low supplies of medicines,” he said.

‘This hospital has left us orphaned’

On May 8, Cracy Fernandes, 39, rushed both her parents to GMCH after they showed COVID-like symptoms. After four days of what she termed “complete negligence” by doctors and nurses, both her parents passed away on May 12.

“When we brought them in, they were forced to share one oxygen cylinder. When we checked, the cylinder was empty,” Cracy told Al Jazeera.

She said at one point, the doctor asked her to put the oxygen mask on her father, a 67-year-old patient with diabetes.

“They would ask us to take off the IV drip. How can we do such things without training? We had to run around for 20 minutes just to find a nurse,” she said.

Hours after her mother – who was 60 with no comorbidities – passed away, her father’s condition deteriorated. But there was no empty ICU bed in the hospital, Cracy said.

Estudo mostra intensa participação da agricultura corporativa no desmatamento ilegal das florestas tropicais —

Barbara Crane Navarro

Embora a agricultura de subsistência e a exploração madeireira ainda contribuam para o desmatamento, a expansão da agricultura em escala comercial é agora reconhecida como de longe o maior impulsionadora do desmatamento em todo o mundo e, portanto, também das emissões de gases de efeito estufa decorrentes da mudança no uso da terra. Agricultura comercial[…]

Hope over Fear

Powerful…

Grounds For Hope

 A child on the father’s lap
 With fearful eyes searching for answers
 "Are we ok? Who is this mob, dad?"
 Choking on his tears, he whispered, “cancer.”
 
     Little did he know the child was watching 
     the insurrection of the Nation.
     Little did he know the child heard
     The mobster’s call for sedition. 
 
 Cancer that metastasized,
 the father thought in his mind.
 Cancer that destroying us 
 Spreading faster than poison ivy.
 
     Cancer that disabled minds 
     Deeply concealed in men’s psyche.
     In the four years made so many blind
     The truth becomes so pricy.
 
 What do I tell to my dear child? 
 The father took a deep breath...
 He looked in her eyes and smiled
 Hope over fear. May God bless.

‘His death is a catastrophe’: Gaza doctors mourn specialist killed in air strike – BBC News

Without warning, an Israeli air strike destroyed the four-storey building in the Gaza Strip where Dr Ayman Abu al-Ouf lived early on Sunday.

The doctor, who was head of internal medicine at the Palestinian territory’s main hospital, was killed along with 12 members of his extended family.

They included his mother and father, his wife Reem, and their 17-year-old son Tawfik and 12-year-old-daughter Tala.

“This is a really big loss not just for us personally because we knew Ayman – this is also a loss for his patients and students,” Dr Ghaith al-Zaanin, a close friend and former colleague who lives in Canada, told the BBC.
