Assista a este filme de 2 minutos e 27 segundos que mostra momentos da vida Yanomami na Amazônia, Venezuela e a performance artística “A Escultura do Fogo” queimando nas margens do Rio Orinoco para protestar contra a destruição contínua da floresta tropical e a degradação de vidas indígenas:

NÃO à destruição pelo Arco de Mineração Orinoco por Maduro das terras indígenas da Venezuela!

NÃO à abolição pelo Bolsonaro das proteções dos territórios indígenas no Brasil!

POR FAVOR, NÃO COMPRE NEM USE OURO!

Stupid Beggar|گدای احمق

“82nd story”

First published: March.14.2019

There once lived a beggar in a small town. The beggar walked daily in the local Bazaar and downtown area.

Everyone in town knew him for years. He was famous for his stupidity, and people made fun of him daily.

Every single day, people showed him two coins; one silver and the other one gold, then they asked him to choose.

He always chose the silver one which was less in value. New people used to come to visit after they heard about the stupid beggar. They offered him both coins just to see if the story was true.

And when he did pick the silver coin, they started making fun of him. This became an ongoing habit for people for years.

A kind by-passer heard the story and went to see this stupid beggar. When he saw that it was true and that…

Not Just a Number – #poetry #NaPoWriMo

Night Owl Poetry - Dorinda Duclos

I sometimes hide my eyes
Behind darkened glasses
Care to look at the world
Through rose colored flashes

Psychedelic prisms
I watch the colors blend
Wishing it could be like this
Throughout the world, again

Hippies spreading love
Peace and understanding
So tired of the ones, who
Just keep on demanding

I will not hide forever, no
Behind this tinted glass
Cause I’ll never be the one
To follow all, en masse

March to the beat of a different drummer
I refuse to ever become just a number….

Ninth LAPD employee dies from COVID-19 – Los Angeles Times – RIP

A 31-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department died Thursday night of complications from COVID-19. A total of nine members of the force — seven sworn officers and two civilian members — have now died from the disease.

Sgt. Anthony White, supervisor in the Transit Services Division, began his career with the department in 1990, officials said.

The Best Vegan Cheeses Defy Expectations – The New York Times

On a much smaller scale, specialty cheesemakers like Blue Heron Creamery in Vancouver, British Columbia; the Herbivorous Butcher in Minneapolis; and Vtopian Artisan Cheeses, in Portland, Ore., are pushing the limits of those fermentations to create vegan cheeses with flavors and textures I’d previously thought impossible.

To make that ashy-centered Barn Cat, Stephen Babaki of Conscious Cultures Creamery, in Philadelphia, inoculates the surface with various strains of Penicillium candidum, typically used to ripen Camembert and Brie, then ages it for two to three weeks.

Case Closed: SARS-CoV-2 Spreads Primarily by Aerosols

In a letter published in The Lancet, a group of scholars argue, with an extensive review of the available evidence, that the primary mode of transmission from human to human of the virus responsible for Covid-19 is via aerosols, not through larger particles called droplets or through fomites (transfer from surfaces). Here are three of their ten reasons why: Source: Case Closed: SARS-CoV-2 Spreads Primarily by Aerosols

Another horror for the account of this mismanagement … In this report, health professionals report the lack of intubation kits … the indescribable pain of patients and their own despair at being unable to do anything. It also tells us that the federal mismanagement has refused to buy inputs several times, without deigning to explain. Nobody deserves to go through this, nobody
