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

Libraries and buses are also an intimately connected and crucial part of a community health care network, for many of us.  

So, how do we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us, and to give more money for mass transit as part of Public Health Care?

I believe that attention to shared and connected community institutions and systems, like Public Transportation and Public Health Care, may provide part of an answer.  I started a note about that, a few years ago, on page eleven of my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call:

“… observant Jews?  They were barely accepted themselves in this Southern city,
where the community felt obliged to petition for permission to purchase a house
of worship, despite the existence of St. John ́s and other prominent Christian
houses of worship. What fear and guilt may have gone through the minds…

Healthy Protein Pancakes

Bombay Ficus

This is my recipe that I use for protein pancakes which I eat on a cheat day or when I want to eat Nutella guilt free after an intense workout. It’s not the healthiest thing and neither is it the tastiest variation of it, but something I do enjoy guilt-free.

Instructions

  1. Gather all the dry ingredients mentioned below. Strain them through a big strainer into a bowl and make sure there are no lumps.
  2. I use Dymatize ISO100 (chocolate flavoured) and its sweeter and tastier than most other whey supplements I’ve consumed. Whey by Quest Protein is also great for cooking.
  3. Depending on the taste/sweetness of your protein supplement and in case you plan to skip adding a banana due to it’s flavour you will probably need to add a little more sugar than in this recipe (a ripe banana adds a lot of sweetness to the pancakes).
  4. Then gather…

Women and Computers in WWII – Intermission Story (22)

Pacific Paratrooper

Women with the ENIAC computer

Before the invention of electronic computers, “computer” was a job description, not a machine. Both men and women were employed as computers, but women were more prominent in the field. This was a matter of practicality more than equality. Women were hired because there was a large pool of women with training in mathematics, but they could be hired for much less money than men with comparable training. Despite this bias, some women overcame their inferior status and contributed to the invention of the first electronic computers.

In 1942, just after the United States entered World War II, hundreds of women were employed around the country as computers. Their job consisted of using mechanical desk calculators to solve long lists of equations. The results of these calculations were compiled into tables and published for use on the battlefields by gunnery officers. The tables allowed soldiers…

Thoughts On President Biden’s Speech

Filosofa's Word

Tonight, I watched President Biden’s address to the joint session of Congress and to the people of the United States.  I was impressed with the President, thought he made good points, saw that he was trying to acknowledge the differences between the two sides of the aisle, while urging them to work together, to find some common ground, to compromise.  He was both professional and passionate, gave hope in saying he believed we could find ways to come together as a nation.

I was not impressed by Mitch McConnell, who sat stone-faced and did not once stand or applaud the President, nor was I impressed by Ted Cruz, who was caught on camera sleeping.  I suspect Ted wasn’t actually sleeping but was putting on an act, as he so loves to do.

President Biden has a lot of good ideas, things that need to happen to help the people of…

Il sosia o doppelganger

I met one and have seen two others – woo woo woo

le pagine dei nostri libri

Si cerca il sosia di Vincent Van Gogh C'è un mandellese tra i più quotati -  Cronaca, Mandello del Lario

Il sosia è colui che presenta una somiglianza fisica con un’altra persona e se il sosia è un personaggio vissuto in un’epoca precedente si tratta di cronopareidolia. Questo tema era molto in voga durante il Romanticismo e nelle opere appariva spesso un gemello maligno che alla fine riceveva un trattamento drammatico.

La parola sosia deriva da un personaggio della commedia Anfitrione del poeta latino Plauto. Egli narrò che un giorno il dio Giove si era innamorato di Alcmena, la fedele moglie di Anfitrione re di Tebe e, approfittando del fatto che il re fosse in guerra contro i Tebani, si introdusse di notte nel suo palazzo assumendo le sembianze dello stesso sovrano. Il dio Mercurio lo aiutò vestendo i panni di Sosia, il fedele servo di Anfitrione e così i due riuscirono ad ingannare Alcmena che, credendolo suo marito, trascorse una notte d’amore con Giove.

Tra il XX e il XXI secolo…
