Chinese researchers find batch of new coronaviruses in bats – CNN

Chinese researchers said Thursday they had found a batch of new coronaviruses in bats including one that may be the second-closest yet, genetically, to the Covid-19 virus.

According to the researchers, their discoveries in a single, small region of Yunnan province, southwestern China show just how many coronaviruses there are in bats and how many have the potential to spread to people.
Weifeng Shi of the University of Shandong and colleagues collected samples from small, forest-dwelling bats between May, 2019 and November, 2020. They tested urine and feces as well as taking swabs from the bats’ mouths.

“In total, we assembled 24 novel coronavirus genomes from different bat species, including four SARS-CoV-2 like coronaviruses,” the researchers wrote in a report published in the journal Cell.

AN INTROVERT EMPATH🙏

Choose compassion over cruelty ❣

While i was on a stroll at the plant graden , i found a hen roaming freely without any fear . Otherwise what I usually observe is animals living in a crap where they are locked up . Isn’t it the most inhuman act of our’s where basic freedom of species are taken away. Just because they are voiceless creatures , we have started considering ourselves so superior that we disregarded the fact of pain and suffering when it comes to animals . Let us weave together and leave animals off our plate 🙏.

Die Schmerzen

Unabhängige Arthrose Informationsplattform

in meinem Ellbogen sind weniger geworden, liebe Ingwer. Du hattest recht, es hilft mir, den einen Arm zu schonen und mit dem anderen zu arbeiten. Anfänglich verspannte der gesunde Arm durch die Mehr Belastung. Doch jetzt hat er sich an seine neue Aufgabe gewöhnt.

Heute Morgen konnte ich sogar die Kaffeekanne anheben und bis zu meinem Schreibtisch tragen. Ich habe mir einfach eine längere Schlafphase gegönnt. Sonst stehe ich immer schon sehr früh auf. Immer im Gedanken, die viele Arbeit, die ich angeblich noch erledigen muss. Danach habe ich mir Filterkaffee gemacht. Seit über einem Vierteljahr habe ich dieses Morgenritual weg gelassen, aus Zeitgründen.

Ein Umdenken hat bei mir statt gefunden. Einfach so, ohne dass mir jemand gesagt hat, wie ich besser mit Stress umgehen kann. Vor Monaten hatte ich Bücher über Burnout, Gelassenheit und Muße gelesen. Sporadisch hatte ich hin und wieder MBSR und Autogenes Training praktiziert. Nee, das…

Tarawa Tribute – Eye Witness Account – Intermission Story (17)

Pacific Paratrooper

USMC on Tarawa Atoll

Gradually, those buried on Betio in the Tarawa atoll are being identified and returned home.  Pacific Paratrooper is including this story as a tribute to them.

Edwin Glasberg, 93, has lived an extraordinary life and is known as a WWII hero for a number of reasons. He was born on the 14th may, 1924, in Boston and as soon as he was able, he left school and enlisted in the Marines. He was assigned to C Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Division.

Edwin Glasberg, USMC

War broke out and he was sent to the Western Pacific where he first used his weapon in anger. He was one of the 18,000 Marines that made up the first wave that landed on the Island of Tarawa. There was no significant resistance on the beach, as the Navy had shelled the Japanese positions before the Marines landed…

La vest de graniță, la sud de soare

Vivaldi translation of excerpt: By no means is the ancient Philippian fortress, in my personal geography, on the border between Thrace and the rest of the world.

The old road that connects Drama to Kavala crosses the archeological area, wide enough to get lost in thought.

ore de drum

Filippi, 2016, 2017

Granițele, atât interioare cât și exterioare, le trasez după bunul plac.

Fără nicio aproximație, antica cetate filippică se află, în geografia mea personală, pe frontiera dintre Tracia și restul lumii.

Vechea șosea care leagă Drama de Kavala traversează aria arheologică, îndeajuns de întinsă ca să te pierzi în gânduri.

Filip II al Macedoniei, tatăl marelui Alexandru, i-a dat numele său în 356 î.Hr.

În 42 î.Hr., cetatea devine teatrul unei bătălii între legiunile romane, în urma căreia devine colonie romană,

cel mai înalt rang pe care-l putea atinge un oraș din afara imperiului, privilegiindu-și cetățenii cu același statut ca al romanilor din Italia, așa cum a fost și Avignon, în Franța.

Cetatea va prospera în scurt timp, datorită amplasamentului pe Egnatia Odos și a îmbelșugatei câmpii trace cultivată cu tutun, bumbac, grâu.

În anul 49, Sf.Apostol Pavel a descins aici venind dinspre Kavala, abia debarcat din Asia…

Christine de Pisan-First Woman After the fall of Rome to write for women equality.

The Novel: UnHoly Pursuit: Devil on my Trail

(Christine de Pizan) was a medieval writer and historiographer who advocated for women’s equality. Her works, considered to be some of the earliest feminist writings, include poetry, novels, biography, and autobiography, as well as literary, political, and religious commentary.

Christine de Pizan or Pisan, born Cristina da Pizzano, was a poet and author at the court of King Charles VI of France and several French dukes. Venetian by birth, Christine served as a court writer in medieval France after the death of her husband.

Born: September 11, 1364, Venice, Italy

Died: Poissy, France

Spouse: Etienne du Castel (m. 1380–1390)

Christine de Pizan, for instance, is the first woman to “take up her pen in defense of her sex”, in her works “The Book of the City of Ladies” and “The Treasure of the city of Ladies” -which were written in the 14th century.

A los moradores de la isla de Janitzio y en memoria de aquellos años de historias y aventuras

Asistí, una y otra vez, al espectáculo mágico de la naturaleza y de los elementos cuando enamoran y pintan sus sentimientos y pasiones, hasta incendiar el cielo que se refleja en el lago plomado y legendario de Pátzcuaro. Sentí las caricias del viento y hasta salpicaron en mi piel y en mi rostro gotas de agua al asomar por la embarcación y contemplar los surcos que dejaba a su paso, mirar el lirio y a las aves acuáticas y descubrir el perfil de la isla de Janitzio.

Supe lo que es trasladarse en lancha y recibir, una mañana o una tarde, incontables gotas de una tempestad; pero también, al anochecer, admiré, en pleno embeleso, las estrellas, los luceros que cuelgan en…
