Day 48/67: Five Month GED, Science, Percentages, and Health

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

     How many of us remember why mono-cropping can be a problem, and how it could impact our health, and the health of generations to come?

Reading: “Growing the same crop on a field year after year can cause crop yields to decline as the soil becomes depleted and insect populations become firmly established. Crop rotation, or growing different crops in different years, is one way to avoid these problems. However, discovering the most effective rotation of a number of different crops is difficult, because there are so many possible orders in which to grow them and testing any given crop rotation takes several years.”

This might take some math, huh? 

For example, what might a percentage increase in one year be for a bunch of bugs that have made themselves snuggly at home in a potato field, versus the percentage increase of those bugs if that potato field…

Parashat Yitro, and Laws, versus Policies

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

     This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Yitro / פָּרָשַׁתיִתְרוֹ  Parashat Yitro is  17th in the annual cycle, covering:Exodus 18:1-20:23and the 5th in the book of Shemot/Exodus.

      This week, traditional congregations (and maybe a few Masorti/Conservative Movement folks) will read Yitro (Jethro)’s advice on organizing policy, and the Giving of The Law at Mt. Sinai.   So, this week, we read about the rule of law, and how to enact the details of that law through policy, as implemented on the advice of a wise planner.

    How do you build a culture where everyone has access to accurate and free legal learning, and  learns how to plan ahead like that?

    

Parashat Beshalach  was last week…

Action Prompts:

    Share your thoughts on how to craft better policy to keep all of us safer, please.   Writing, by thee…

Dialect snobbery reinforces power in the British class system — Media Diversified

Jacinta Nandi discusses how dialect snobbery relates to classism in the UK and how we should be proud of how we speak even if it’s not “received pronunciation”. Back in the olden days, i.e., the early 2000s, when I still wanted to become a stand-up comedian, my friend and I were going to an open-mike […]

Saturday Surprise — Humour

Filosofa's Word

I wracked my brain last night for something fun and humorous for Saturday Surprise, but perhaps because I was tired, nothing seemed to fit the bill.  I did, however, come across some things that might just bring about a chuckle or two!  First, a few stories I found on the Reader’s Digest website that made me chuckle …

  • At the doctor’s office, a 20-something man was trying to make an appointment for a Mrs. Brown. Try as he might, he just could not remember her first name. Frustrated, he left. A few minutes later, I passed him outside the office on the phone.“Hey, Dad,” he said. “What’s Mom’s first name?”

  • In his late 80s, my father-in-law went to the DMV to renew his driver’s license. At one point during the road test, he approached a four-way stop, looked to his left, and cruised straight through the stop sign. “Sir! You…
