The President Speaks … Will the Nation Listen?

Filosofa's Word

Today, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden spoke in Buffalo, New York, regarding the horrific mass shooting on Saturday.  I, for one, am thankful to have a president who cares, as President Biden so obviously does, who attempts to bring calm in times of chaos, hope in times of despair, and unity in times of divisiveness.

Las ausencias son pedazos que ya no están disponibles, perfiles y rasgos que se fueron, cosas que ocuparon espacios. Se trata de faltantes que estaban anotados en la lista de espera y registrados en la estación pasajera con el objetivo de partir a cierta hora, en alguna fecha. Las ausencias dejan huecos, remembranzas y olvidos. Las ausencias, cuando pertenecen a alguien tan amado, duelen tanto y rasgan al ser. En los cementerios, suelen percibirse las ausencias, con sus alivios y sus dolores; pero al mirar aquí y allá, en un sitio y en otros más, uno nota que abundan los sobrantes, los nombres y los apellidos -algunos hasta con títulos, fatuos e innecesarios ya, de lo que fueron en la vida-, los epitafios que sustituyen historias, las flores secas que mueren como los anhelos, los recuerdos y los instantes…

More than 200 people being tracked for possible monkeypox exposure (Me: Perfect example of how an infectious disease can go global in 24 hours)

‘We’re flying blind now’ Kremlin infighting and the war in Ukraine will determine if Putin cancels Russia’s elections in September, sources tell Meduza — Meduza

On May 17, lawmakers in the State Duma discussed the possibility of cancelling both gubernatorial and regional and municipal elections scheduled for September 11, 2022. The stated reason is the need to support the president unanimously during Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine. Meduza special correspondent Andrey Pertsev learned that Vladimir Putin has yet to reach a final decision about postponing the elections, but the Federal Security Service and National Security Council are lobbying hard to convince him that it’s crucial.

FDA Announces Plans To Ease The Shortage Of Baby Formula | LAist

“Our new guidance streamlines the ability for companies, including those that do not normally sell infant formula in this country, to make products available to the U.S. market.”

Califf said these flexibilities will mean “additional products can quickly hit U.S. stores.”

“We are casting a broad net,” said Susan Mayne, director of the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. “We are seeking manufacturers around the globe who may have available product that could meet our standards for both nutrition and food safety.”

She said the FDA will help get that product into the United States.

The FDA is also allowing more flexibility for infant formula produced in the United States. Priority will be given to manufacturers that can demonstrate safety and nutritional adequacy and that can get product onto U.S. shelves the quickest.

“We are focused on getting as much product as possible on store shelves,” said Frank Yiannas, the FDA’s deputy commissioner for food policy and response.
