Facing Facts On COVID-19 In Jamaica

Jamaica Woman Tongue

Many of us are living in a fool’s paradise. We seem to assume that the COVID-19 pandemic is not really a threat to us. We do not appear to know that most of the population has not been tested for the virus. And many people who are infected do not show any symptoms. We act as though the number of confirmed cases is an accurate count of the total figure. We also seem to think that the number of people who have died from the virus is really low. So we are enjoying delusional security: “Where ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise”.

THOMAS GRAY, NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY, LONDON

That doubtful consolation now has the ring of proverbial authority. It actually comes from “An Ode On a Distant Prospect Of Eton College” by Thomas Gray, an 18th century English poet. Reflecting on both his schooldays and life in the…

Pizza!

In Saner Thought

During this pandemic the consumption of pizza has gone up…..

I am a traditionalist I like my pizza pretty straight forward….toppings…..the works sans anchovy. But I do not understand the necessity for a hot wings pizza or a chicken taco pizza….but all that aside….does anyone know the origins of the fabulous pizza?

Pizza is the world’s favourite fast food. We eat it everywhere – at home, in restaurants, on street corners. Some three billion pizzas are sold each year in the United States alone, an average of 46 slices per person. But the story of how the humble pizza came to enjoy such global dominance reveals much about the history of migration, economics and technological change.

Explained: Is ‘natural immunity’ from COVID better than a vaccine? | Explained News,The Indian Express

I’m young, healthy and at low risk of COVID. Why not take my chances with that rather than get a rushed vaccine?

The experts were unanimous in their answer: COVID-19 is by far the more dangerous option.

“It’s clear that one is less problematic for the body to recover from them than the other – there’s more risk with natural infection,” said Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Bilge kişi 💫

The wise person performs his actions without any selfish attachment; does the best he can in any situation …

kesifyolculugum 🦋💗

Bhavadgita’ da bilge kişi şu şekilde tanımlanmaktadır:

Bilge kişi, hiçbir bencil bağ olmadan eylemlerini gerçekleştirir; her durumda yapabileceğinin en iyisini yapar…

Uyanmış, aydınlanmış kişi yaptığı şeylerle ilgili endişe duymuyor,… bencil istekleri bilgelik ateşinde artık sönüyor…

Bilge insanlar hep tatmin… dışardan gelen destek ihtiyacını bırakmışlar, eylemlerinin sonuçlarına bağlı olmayıp, beklentiden uzaklar…

Zihin ve beden kontrolü içerisinde, içsel özgürlük içinde yaşıyorlar… Rekabet yok,… başarı ya da başarısızlık farketmez hep tatminler… Tüm işlerini bütüne hizmet ruhunda yapıyorlar,… bütün karmaları eriyip gidiyor… 🧚‍♀️

“There will come a time when it isn’t ‘They’re spying on me through my phone’ anymore. Eventually, it will be ‘My phone is spying on me’.” ―Philip K. Dick

Our privacy is only private for us as we keep setting privacy and security setting in the web platform, but public for computer mastermind and intelligent people. “Nothing is private in this universe since the internet started to roam around the world.” We must know the absolute reality, “We are not allowing our mobile phone or new techno gadget to lick the information, but we are only the responsible person to make it happen because we store the information not in the brain, not we think better to put down note, but we think, the demand of the time, we keep it safe in the mobile phone or new techno gadget where the data is…

Sevilla, Alcazar, 2016

Pentru mine, magnetismul Sevillei se concentrează în Alcazar,

20160406_173953

vizitat la sfârșitul zilei,

20160406_183421 (1)

luminat roșiatic de strălucirea apusului.

20160406_184104

M-a vrăjit acest ansablu arhitectural gigantic format din mai multe palate,

20160406_182634 (1)

complet diferit de alte edificii regale din Spania.

20160406_174640

Construcția a început în secolul 10,

20160406_183126 (1)

dar a fost modificată de mai multe ori în decursul anilor.

20160406_183327

Se mai păstrează, din Alcazarul almohad (palatul arab) din secolul 12,

20160406_182049

doar Patio del Yeso și arcurile fortificate prin care intri în patio del Leon,

piața de arme a castelului musulman.

Imediat după spațiile de intrare, trecem în sala justiției,

20160406_182001

unde regele don Pedro și-a asasinat un rival,

Intrăm apoi în palatul lui don Pedro,

20160406_181724

atenți să nu ratăm sala domnișoarelor, cu decorațiuni înzorzonate.

20160406_175750

Micile patios (grădini interioare) sunt traversate de canale înguste,

formând efecte de perspectivă care mă iau prin surprindere de fiecare dată.
