Manastir Dobrun, Višegrad, Republika Srpska – Dobrun Monastery, Visegrad, Republika Srpska

Myrela

Dobrun je najstariji pravoslavni manastir očuvan na području Republike Srpske. Smješten je istočno od Višegrada, na Rzavu, nedaleko od srednjovjekovnog utvrđenog grada sa istim imenom. Osnovali su ga početkom XIV vijeka župan Pribil i njegovi sinovi Stefan i Petar. Dobrunska crkva je jednobrodna zasvedena građevina bez kupole. Građena je od pritesanog kamena, a dovratnici i pragovi sačinjeni su od jedne vrste crvenkastog mermera. Pribilov sin Petar je, kao monah Jovan, 1383. godine dozidao prvobitnoj crkvi vanjsku pripratu, a deset godina kasnije, prilikom provale turskih trupa u Podrinje, Dobrun je stradao. Krajem XVIII ili početkom XIX vijeka manastir je opustio. Crkva je restaurisana 1884. godine kada je porušena vanjska priprata, dozidan masivan zvonik na zapadnoj strani, i na fasadama izrađene ukrasne lezene i nizovi arkadica. Miniranjem 1944. godine crkva je gotovo sasvim razorena. U naknadnoj obnovi dovedena je na izgled iz XIX vijeka, a u njenoj unutrašnjosti, u zapadnom dijelu, sačuvao…

Opinion | I’m Done Trying to Understand or Educate the Unvaccinated – The New York Times

There was a point, earlier on in the pandemic, when vaccines were still scarce, when I tried to be tolerant with the holdouts, tried not to shame them, tried not to be angry with them, tried to allow them time to educate themselves about the benefits of getting vaccinated.

But that time has long since passed for me. Call me one of the intolerant. That’s what I am. I will not coddle willful ignorance anymore. I will not indulge the fool’s errand of “I’m still doing my own research” anymore, either.

This virus has already killed nearly 800,000 Americans and infected nearly 50 million. We are now averaging about 120,000 new cases a day.

This virus is deadly and unrelenting. The only way out of this situation, for our country and the world, is through the vaccines. We must dramatically shrink the number of people vulnerable to the virus — or else we risk allowing our population to act as a petri dish for the growth of variants.

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

This rock number was released in 2005 or 2006 by Hinder. I first heard it in 2009 and became obsessed with it. If you want to know the background story depicted in the video, it’s about this guy who receives a call from his ex. He’s got a hotbod girlfriend in his bedroom prancing around in her underwear showing off those amazing enviable tight abs and goddess-like smooth skin. Yet, he’s whispering when he receives a surprise call…

Like all my music-inspired poems, I suggest playing the song{which I have embedded below for your convenience} as you read; it’ll be like a short film …in song and poetry! I wrote this poem with hopes of making it a song one day. I think it’d be an excellent pick as a song for something like ‘Four more shots’. If anyone wishes to collaborate with me to make some good music in…

Volver a tu lado

Volver a tu lado -papá, mamá-, cuando soy hijo y te sé en mi alma y en otro plano, en espera de abrazarnos y permanecer juntos, como antaño, cuando era niño y me relatabas cuentos e historias, me educabas pacientemente y me reprendías con educación y respeto si en algo fallaba. Volver a tu lado, -hermana, hermano-, tras minutos, horas, días y semanas dedicados a la encomienda, a la jornada cotidiana, para conversar, reír y evocar los capítulos y la epopeya que compartimos en casa, en el hogar, y que ahora nos hacen ricos e identifican aquí y allá, en la temporalidad de la vida y en la eternidad. Volver a tu lado -hija amada, hija irrepetible-, con la idea de entregarte mi alma y lo mejor de mí, en un acto mágico que viene desde la fuente infinita…

The Coronavirus Attacks Fat Tissue, Scientists Find – The New York Times

Now researchers have found that the coronavirus infects both fat cells and certain immune cells within body fat, prompting a damaging defensive response in the body.

“The bottom line is, ‘Oh my god, indeed, the virus can infect fat cells directly,’” said Dr. Philipp Scherer, a scientist who studies fat cells at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, who was not involved in the research.

“Whatever happens in fat doesn’t stay in fat,” he added. “It affects the neighboring tissues as well.”

The research has not yet been peer-reviewed or published in a scientific journal, but it was posted online in October. If the findings hold up, they may shed light not just on why patients with excess pounds are vulnerable to the virus, but also on why certain younger adults with no other risks become so ill.
