Scholars on LinkedIn Are Being Blocked in China ‘Without Telling Them Why’ – Slashdot (Me: LinkedIn plays with China on censorship)

Affected users say social-networking site owned by Microsoft is obstructing them over ‘prohibited content’ without further explanation. From a report: Eyck Freymann, an Oxford University doctoral student, was surprised to get a notice from LinkedIn this month telling him his account had been blocked in China. The “Experience” section of his profile, which detailed his career history, contained “prohibited” content, he was informed. The social-networking site owned by Microsoft didn’t explain more, but Mr. Freymann said he thought it was because he had included the words “Tiananmen Square massacre” in the entry for his two-year stint as a research assistant for a book in 2015.  Source: Scholars on LinkedIn Are Being Blocked in China ‘Without Telling Them Why’ – Slashdot

Alltagsszenen im Iran

Senioren um die Welt

“Welcome to Iran” ! Mit solch einer Begrüßung hatten wir nicht gerechnet, als wir vor zwei Jahren den Iran besuchten. Egal wo wir hinkamen, überall wurden wir mit einer großen Warmherzigkeit, Gastfreundschaft und Neugier empfangen, wie wir uns das vorher nicht vorstellen konnten. Wir hatten die Reise wegen der grandiosen Kunstschätze, der Gartenkunst und vielfältigen Landschaft angetreten, und als wir zurückkamen, waren wir so überwältigt von dem Land, der Kultur und vor allem von den Menschen, dass wir am liebsten sofort wieder zurückgekehrt wären. Mit den folgenden Bildern kann ich nur einen kleinen Eindruck vom Alltagsleben der Menschen im Iran geben.

Good People Doing Good Things — Ms. Shirley Raines

Filosofa's Word

Well, well, well … we made it to another Wednesday, and I don’t know about you guys, but I’m more than ready to hear about some good people for a change!  First, though, I think it is worth noting that the pandemic brought out the goodness in at least some people, and charitable donations were up in 2020 by 5% over and above those of 2019!  Last year, an estimated $471.44 billion was donated to charities around the nation, making 2020 the highest year of charitable giving on record!  Just goes to show what I’ve been saying for a few years now – there are lots ‘n lots of good people out there.


I am focusing on just one very good person today, for her story is worth telling and hearing.  She is Ms. Shirley Raines, who is giving her all to helping the homeless in a 50-block section of…

DON’T Take It For Granted

Filosofa's Word

The Republican Party lives in a fairy-tale world, one where reality has no place.  They don’t want to hear those realities that might awaken their sleeping consciences and make it uncomfortable for them to proceed with their platform of obstruction and lies.

The most recent example came yesterday when the 50 Republican senators voted against even discussing the For the People Act that would have ensured the right to vote for every eligible person in the U.S.  They wouldn’t even discuss it!  Why?  Because they might hear some valid reasons that this bill is the best thing for the people of the United States.  The bill is extremely popular among voters, even those in the Republican Party, but no no non nunca nyet!  What We the People need and want has zero relevance to the Republicans in Congress.  The fewer people vote, the more likely the Republicans can hold onto…

Mi amiga y colega, la poeta brasileña Tania Brito Melo, a quien admiro, respeto y aprecio, tuvo la amabilidad de invitarme, este día -miércoles 23 de junio de 2021-, como participante del Cuarto Gran Encuentro Mundial Virtual de Poetas y Escritores, que se celebra en Brasil

Dispuse, exclusivmente, de diez minutos para presentarme, reseñar mi tayectoria artística de escritor, hablar acerca de mis obras y leer alguna de mis publicaciones. Fui breve en mi disertación con el objetivo de plantear, en algunos minutos, uno de los temas que me mortifican en la actualidad, relacionado, precisamente, con la tendencia mundial, en diversos ambientes, de aniquilar la creatividad, la imaginación y la originalidad.

En la hora contemporánea, condo los sentimientos, las conductas y los pensamientos de las sociedades parecen fabricados en serie, en satisfacer impusos de consumo y desecho, los sueños…

FDA to add heart inflammation warning to Pfizer, Moderna COVID-19 vaccines – National | Globalnews.ca

“We strongly encourage everyone age 12 and older who are eligible to receive the vaccine under Emergency Use Authorization to get vaccinated,” it said.

Doctors and hospitals have been warned by the CDC to watch for symptoms of myocarditis or pericarditis, and the FDA warning will further raise awareness.

Concerns about the more highly transmissible Delta coronavirus variant taking hold in the United States, and its impact on younger people, have added to the urgency to increase vaccinations even as the inoculation effort here has slowed considerably.

The cases of heart inflammation appear to be notably higher in the week after the second vaccine dose and in males. The CDC identified 309 hospitalizations from the heart inflammation in persons under the age of 30, of which 295 have been discharged.

Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, said in a presentation that data from one of the agency’s safety monitoring systems — Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) — suggests a rate of 12.6 cases per million in the three weeks after the second shot in 12- to 39-year-olds.
