my country is an old book the cover wrapped in dust you can’t judge a book by its cover you carefully open it you read every word my country is a book which brings joy you don’t want it to end it fills you with pride you believe that an old book is worth a hundred times more than a new book therefore in my country everything is “a hundred times more than other countries” except for the poverty and fear a thousand times more… (November 2021) --- đất nước tôi là một cuốn sách cũ với một cái bìa phủ bụi một cuốn sách, bạn không đánh giá nó qua cái bìa bạn nhẹ nhàng mở nó đọc từng từ đất nước tôi là một quyển sách mang lại niềm vui bạn…

the Strand NYC

you squeezed the poetry out of me crushed my poor soul… scent of old books liberated the scent of dry grass succeeded were the misty rain and all the idols steeped in memories like opening a dust old book in a house which welcomes the waves and eyes closing absence of conflict that even the spirits were burned flew away as an arid scent a journey towards nothingness where there were no beds where the dog and humanity settled silently on the ground where it’s adrift in eternal life and death where the scent now turned into smoke from a pile of burning hay watchful of a departing childhood… (November 2021) --- bạn ép những bài thơ tràn ra khỏi tôi đè bẹp linh hồn tội nghiệp của tôi… mùi thơm giấy cũ một…

he crammed me into an apple he swallowed a piece of me at a time gosh oh dear oh dear god oh dear gosh and when he is old someone kneeling by his side would whisper: - I, your servant did call but you didn’t answer your majesty I have lived an entire life please treat me, your servant like a human being not like an apple that has fallen from a tree hiding behind the mask the fake smiles where he lives a land where even the weed flowered where children are turned into flaming torches where bees are turned into weapons where wild birds are turned into warriors though in the end the victor was killed even the honest were murdered much like a tweeting bird all you need to do is…

The Right To Be You — Filosofa’s Word

I think that the ‘wall of separation’ between Church and State is critical to maintaining the democratic foundations of this nation.  If 100% of all people who vote and pay taxes in the nation were of the same religious beliefs, then it might not be critical, then a theocracy might be workable.  But in this […]

9/11 attacks: When Jill Biden was ‘scared to death’ after realising her sister… | World News – Hindustan Times

“I called Bonny to see where she was because I was scared to death … I didn’t know where she was, whether she was flying, not flying, where she was,” Jill Biden recalled. “And then I found out she was home.”

Biden’s sister, Bonny Jacobs, came home around 2am after a late night flight, hours before the hijacked airplanes were flown into World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, reported AP. Jacobs said she slept a little and then got up to help get her kids off to school, turned off her phone and went back to bed on the fateful morning.

St. Louis research fuels COVID-19 nasal vaccine rollout in India | Coronavirus | stltoday.com

The science behind India’s new nasal vaccine for COVID-19 has its roots in St. Louis.

India-based drug company Bharat Biotech announced Tuesday that its nasal vaccine had received emergency approval. The vaccine technology was licensed from Washington University.

Dr. Michael Diamond, a Washington University professor and viral immunologist, said he began working on the vaccine in the spring of 2020 with fellow Washington University professor Dr. David Curiel. The world’s scientific community was just mobilizing on its massive, urgent search for methods to treat and prevent the new coronavirus.

Diamond and Curiel knew many other researchers were racing to develop vaccines, but they didn’t see anyone else pursuing oral or nasal vaccines.

Their work is now making its public debut nearly two years after the injectable products made by Pfizer, Moderna and others. But it could become a strong tool in the fight against COVID-19. In an interview in 2020, Curiel recalled Albert Sabin’s oral polio vaccine, which came several years after Jonas Salk’s injectable vaccine but proved to be safer and more effective.

Bird Flu Outbreak Causes 3 Million Chickens to Be Euthanized in Ohio – Health Thoroughfare

According to new reports, a bird flu outbreak has reached a massive egg-laying operation in Ohio after leading to the deaths of no less than 43 million chickens and turkeys all over the United States.

In order to try their best and limit the devastating spread, farmers have had no choice but to euthanize 27 million of these birds, the rest being killed by the disease.

Now, state and federal agriculture officials shared earlier this week that the outbreak has reached a giant egg laying operation in Ohio, where another 3 million chickens were also destroyed to try and stop the spread, as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

This has been confirmed in Ohio’s Defiance County where the farm has decided to euthanize all of their fowl, shares the state’s veterinarian, Dennis Summers.

It looks like, after a lull of a few months, the highly pathological disease is now back in the Midwest with millions of cases in Minnesota, Indiana, North Dakota and Wisconsin.

As for western states, there have been a few detected cases over the summer as well but far less than in the Midwest.
