Day 37/67 of GED in Five Months, adaptations, and Adulting

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

 Adulting is also about understanding adaptations, not from a scientific or organic perspective, but from a more emotional and intellectual point of view.  Adapting to new situations is a skill that science can teach us for both abstract intelligence and emotional intelligence.  That skill is needed in the modern world by all people.

Las Cruces medical volunteers help with COVID-19 vaccine, migrants

LAS CRUCES – The New Mexico Medical Reserve Corps has grown out of necessity to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Throughout the course of the pandemic, the corps has grown from about 2,000 volunteers to about 7,400. State MRC coordinator Bobbie MacKenzie said that, at one point, up to 200 new volunteers were being deployed each week across New Mexico.

The Medical Reserve Corps is a division of the state health department, entirely federally funded, made up of both medical and non-medical volunteers. Across the state, MRC volunteers assist with both planned health events and unfolding crises.

Online, the New Mexico Department of Health says the MRC mission is “to augment local community health and medical services during a disaster, public health emergency or community public health event with pre-identified, trained and credentialed volunteers.”

In New Mexico, MRC volunteers typically provide medical support at the Bataan Memorial Death March held annually at White Sands Missile Range. In 2019, MRC members provided health assessments, cared for and obtained medications for an influx of asylum seekers dropped off in Las Cruces by U.S. Border Patrol.

Daddy

Unlocking The Hidden Me

Twenty years have gone by

Myriads of moments to sigh

Sea of emotions and multitudes of smiles

Oh I have come a thousand miles

This world I tell you is a dark space

Did you ever realise this was really the case

Pigeons turned into eagles I saw

Arduous s it was to unclench the destiny’s claw

A stubborn child I used to be Daddy

Look, now I have become a patient lady

I always hovered around you like a bee

My moppet now does the same, do you ever see

I will get old with no teeth, you teased

I will laugh and you won’t be pleased

You will never become old, I always reverted

Your words often breathes life never to be averted

How would I survive giving her off, you always lamented

I would never marry just be with you, I quoted

Allah fulfilled your…

Jamaican vaccine update: Yes, there’s a global shortage and Yes, there is nothing certain about COVID-19

Petchary's Blog

A sort of mild panic seems to have set in among some Jamaicans about obtaining their second dose of AstraZeneca. It has all become a bit muddled over the weekend, as another blitz began. The Ministry of Health and Wellness has repeatedly stated that this weekend would be for the over-50 age group only who are due for their second dose and who have confirmation from the Ministry via text message or phone call. However, there seem to have been some problems at the National Arena in Kingston, which closed early – because, according to the Ministry, a lot of people turned up who didn’t come into that category.

The basic problem is – as Minister of Health and Wellness Christopher Tufton explained in Thursday night’s press briefing – “not vaccine hesitation, it’s vaccine access.In other words, stocks are running low and the Ministry is having to prioritize…

“Sickle Cell, Jamaica and Beyond” book presented to National Library of Jamaica

Petchary's Blog

Professor Emeritus Graham Serjeant is one of those people from overseas who came to Jamaica “for a year or two” and ended up remaining for decades. I know a few of those!Now, in recognition of World Sickle Cell Day (June 19) the Professor presented two copies of his book of memoirs and thoughts to the National Library of Jamaica.

The Sickle Cell Unit at the University of the West Indies in Kingston conducted a study between 1973 and 1981, which concluded, among other findings, that 15% of Jamaican adults are at risk of having a child with Sickle Cell Disease and that 1 in every 150 Jamaicans are born with Sickle Cell Disease, which is hereditary and not contagious. It is caused by abnormally shaped red blood cells, and it is extremely painful. Read more about it here on the National Health Fund of Jamaica’s excellent website and also

Juneteenth — Another Point Of View

Filosofa's Word

While I have applauded the passage and presidential signing of the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act and have chalked up most of the objections to both ignorance and racism, I did come across one thought-provoking OpEd.  This piece by a professor at Morehouse College, a historically Black liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia, makes some very valid points.  Professor Robert A. Brown is not against the Juneteenth holiday, but reminds us that declaring it a federal holiday is not the end goal, that there is much work to be done in this country yet before Blacks have true freedom and equality.  The phrase, ‘Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words’ comes to mind as I read his words and ponder what he says …

June 2021 Solstice

bluejayblog

Living plants and animals follow a natural set of rules. Our lives depend on our planet’s relationship to the Sun, the Moon, and the other planets of the Solar System. Ever since the first people, we have configured our lives according to climate and seasonal weather situations.

Depending upon whether we live in the Northern or Southern Hemispheres, the two Solstices visually mark either the longest or shortest days and the shortest and longest nights. The Summer Solstice marks a way-point of the warmer time of year.

Living beings are by and large at our most active and vital stages. Winter Solstice is the midpoint of hibernation and anticipation of nature’s reawakening. It is on the June Solstice that I entertain fantasies of visiting my friends and readers who live south of the Equator. During the December Solstice, I feel most at home in mind and spirit. Since today is…

A month of violent attacks by gold miners against Yanomami communities without protection from the Brazilian state! – «If the gold miners dig everywhere, the forest’s rivers will be full of mud, motor oil, and trash. They wash their gold powder in the streams, mixing it with mercury – dirty and dangerous…»

A conflict erupted on April 27, when a group of Yanomami intercepted illegal gold miners who were going up the Rio Uraricoera in a speedboat loaded with fuel for their planes, helicopters and the industrial excavating machines they use for uprooting trees and moving soil. The Yanomami seized 990 liters of fuel. Then, another group of gold miners heading downriver to Boa Vista fired guns at the Yanomami in an attempt to intimidate the indigenous community who have been trying for years to prevent illegal gold miners from coming up the rivers into their territory.

On April 30th, Yanomami contacted government authorities to alert them regarding the episodes of violence in the Palimiú region. The region consists of 1,129 indigenous people in 15 villages. 

No effective action was taken by the state security forces.
