Day 54/67: Five Month GED, Equations of a Line, and Making a Bee line to Save The Bees

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

So, why do you think that equations of a straight line, graf_of_linear_equation

aka linear equations, may be related to bees, transportation, and bee lines?  And why do they call it a bee line, when bees never seem to move in a straight line, or do they?

Today’s reading comes from a well-known source that is citing two major secondary sources: can you agree with the authority of the two sources cited?

“… the Christian Social Union, which had not been at the forefront of climate change conversations and tended to resist serious environmental protection measures, responded by voting into law what the petition called for. The law commits the government to preserve the environment, support organic farming, increase the number of natural meadows, prevent further losses of biodiversity, protect clean water and limit pesticide use. Along with saving the bees, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and wild herbs are…

Working Wednesdays, Do Better, Chapter 8, section II. A.: 1/4 of a map for the early years of Phase II

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post is the kitchen sink version of the rough draft of  Chapter 8 of my non-fiction WiP, Do Better, fka Baby Floors.   This chapter will begin the early years of mapping out a path to get there for Phase II, with a potential new adulthood rite of passage.

(the current version of Draft 3 is nearly done: ask if interested in Beta Reading, pls…)

 

The overall objective remains that of putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

Outlines for chapter 8 will attempt to match with each section, at the bottom of each post.

Once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases.  This chapter is part of showing what Phases I-IV could look like as potential roadmap for a fully inclusive…

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A violência contra a mulher se manifesta de diversas formas. A mulher simplesmente, se sente intimidada no seu direito de ” ir e vir” bem como agir, quando percebe que é sim, vítima de violência. Se o seu parceiro te bate, se ele age com violência e falta de respeito, você não deve tolerar. Violência não tem desculpas.

Parceiros abusivos costumas usar de vários meios para fazer com que as suas vítimas, em geral, esposas ou companheiras, vivam de acordo com a vontade deles. Esse homem que tem a característica de dominador, ele pode deixar de ser grntil e atencioso em um dado momento, e se transformar em um sujeito manipulador, controlador e radical, quando a mulher não for capaz de fazer as suas vontades. Inclusive, ele pode a proibí-la de conversar com outras pessoas que não sejam do seu rol de amizades. É possível perceber também que num segundo…

DeepDotWeb Administrator Sentenced for Money Laundering Scheme | OPA | Department of Justice

An Israeli national was sentenced yesterday to 97 months in prison for operating DeepDotWeb (DDW), a website that connected internet users with Darknet marketplaces, where they purchased illegal firearms, malware and hacking tools, stolen financial data, heroin, fentanyl and other illicit materials.

According to court documents, Tal Prihar, 37, an Israeli citizen residing in Brazil, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering in March 2021. Beginning in October 2013, Prihar owned and operated DDW, along with co-defendant Michael Phan, 34, of Israel. In addition to providing general information about the Darknet, DDW provided users with direct links to illegal Darknet marketplaces, which are not accessible through traditional search engines.

California coronavirus cases top 8 million – Los Angeles Times

The milestone, equivalent to roughly 1 out of every 5 residents having been infected at some point, comes amid growing signs that Omicron has finally peaked — but not before tearing through California’s communities. Since New Year’s Day, 2.5 million coronavirus cases have been reported in California. That’s fast approaching the entire statewide caseload reported all of last year: 3.1 million.

Long Covid and Brain Inflammation

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

Prior research, discussed in earlier posts, shows that the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can nest in any of several organs in the body and cause damage after the initial infection.

One of these organs is the brain. The virus can get there through the bloodstream and penetrate into the brain though weaknesses it causes by attacking the lining of blood vessels. Alternatively, in the presence of nasal congestion (thank you, allergies!) the virus can pass directly from the nose into the brain.

New research shows that people who exhibit symptoms of Long Covid have antibodies for the virus in their brain and spinal fluid. The classic Long Covid symptom is brain fog, and that may be caused directly by inflammation in brain cells.

The problem, of course, is that once the virus gets there, we don’t know how to get rid of it. Think of Lyme Disease, the tick-borne virus…

Are We All Gullible?

Filosofa's Word

While conspiracy theories have always been around, they have seemingly run rampant of late, the one with the most adherents being the Big Lie that the election was “stolen” from the former guy.  And remember Margie Greene’s belief in the QAnon theory that it was Russian space lasers or some such nonsense that started the 2020 California wildfires?  Now, I and most of the people reading this blog are too intelligent to fall for these off-the-wall conspiracy theories, right?  Let’s find out!  The Washington Post has a short (just 6 multiple choice questions), fun quiz to see just how savvy we are about facts vs conspiracy theories.  I took this quiz … it really is short and only took less than 5 minutes … and I did miss one!  😱

Check it out here and let me know how you did … and see if you can guess which one…
