The Arena of Dreams – Scribbled Fancies

Visualising a dream is like the mind taking a breath of fresh air, like a surprise gift which we desperately want to open, like a journey to the most enthralling place. Source: The Arena of Dreams – Scribbled Fancies
COVID in our free world
(We need to change how we work and live or we will facilitate or bring on a new pandemic through ignoring the impact of humans on the environment. Going back to old normal is not a winning option.)
COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the work culture of the entire human population. We are working remotely during the pandemic. The interesting observation is, we are shifting away from the culture of working a fixed number of hours a day – usually called 9 to 5 workday. In this article, we understand how this work culture is not something completely unknown to human history.
Before the Industrial Revolution, people were paid based on the products/services they delivered. People worked in their towns and sold the products in cities. With the Industrial revolution came factories and offices. The concept of 9 to 5 job was born. People started to get paid for working a fixed number of hours a day. Today, COVID-19 killed the concept of working together in an office. We are back to the point where we started. People are working in their hometowns, delivering products and services remotely. The…

O Sole Mio
The wine of the region is called lambrusco, a permissive and playful sparkling red, which you can also match with a fish such as eel. Good appetite
Modena, 2018
Îmi place să urmăresc interviuri despre cărți.

Într-unul pe care l-am văzut recent pe youtube, o înregistrare veche, actrița Simone Signoret spunea că, la fiecare cinci ani, recitește o carte care a marcat-o doar ca să vadă ce aspecte îi atrag atenția cu ochii altei vârste.

La fel îmi place să fac cu orașele.

Las să treacă un timp și revin ca să văd ce efect (mai) are ceea ce am văzut prima dată. Orașele sunt un fel de cărți.

Dacă apreciați aurul negru, cum i se spune oțetului de Modena, probabil ca veți fi curioși să aflați mai multe despre tentațiile gastronomice din partea locului. La fel, dacă sunteți amatori de mecanismele mașinilor de viteză. Sau de operă, fiind obârșia tenorului Luciano Pavarotti. Vivacitatea lui mi s-a părut dintotdeauna molipsitoare.

Domul e înscris în patrimoniul mondial UNESCO și l-am vizitat cu de-amănuntul.

Day 14 of High School in Five Months, Arabic Numerals, and mass transit?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
Could we have transportation, public or otherwise, without a numbering system that allows us to calculate precise locations? Decimal numbers, based on Arabic numerals, give us both precision and the ability, thanks to our positional numeral system, to express any number in fairly limited space (just try writing 10 billion in Roman Numerals!). Our numbers, or rather, the symbols that we use to represent numbers, come from India via the Arabs, during the Middle Ages (“… up to the end of the fifteenth century“). Any advocate for a democratic movement must both learn and share an understanding of number as system and statistic(s), for democracy to work well (there is also a need for good mass transit used by the middle classes, for a democracy to work well, but that is for another post, if you’d like):

Nurse Appreciation Week — By Hook Or By Book

In addition to it being Teachers Appreciation Week, Wednesday was Cinco de Mayo (which I apologize missing) and Thursday marked the start of Nurses Week with this year’s theme being Frontline Warriors, for obvious reasons. I’d like to thank all the nurses who have sacrificed their time, and in the course of this past year, […]

Squirrels are just plain cute — Roadtirement

Squirrels often appear in our backyard. Sometimes one, other times up to 8 together.
Squirrels are just plain cute — Roadtirement
« ¡Se olvidaron rápidamente de la belleza del bosque! »
«Comenzaron a arrancar minerales del suelo con avidez. Construyeron fábricas para fundirlos y fabricar grandes cantidades de mercancía.
Se dijeron a sí mismos: ¿nuestras manos no son tan buenas para hacer estas cosas? ¡Somos los únicos tan inteligentes! ¡Somos verdaderamente gente de mercancía!
Proliferaron el dinero por todas partes. Como querían poseer toda esa mercancía, fueron llevados por un deseo ilimitado.
Fue con estas palabras mercantiles que los blancos empezaron a talar todos los árboles, a maltratar la tierra ya contaminar las aguas.
Lo hacen por celos por el oro. »
- El portavoz y chamán Yanomami Davi Kopenawa
