Covid Vaccines: New Diplomacy Tool for India and China – The New York Times

India, the unmatched vaccine manufacturing power, is giving away millions of doses to neighbors friendly and estranged. It is trying to counter China, which has made doling out shots a central plank of its foreign relations. And the United Arab Emirates, drawing on its oil riches, is buying jabs on behalf of its allies.

The coronavirus vaccine — one of the world’s most in-demand commodities — has become a new currency for international diplomacy.

Countries with the means or the know-how are using the shots to find favor or thaw frosty relations. India sent them to Nepal, a country that has fallen increasingly under China’s influence. Sri Lanka, in the midst of a diplomatic tug of war between New Delhi and Beijing, is getting doses from both.

The strategy carries risks. India and China, both of which are making vaccines for the rest of the world, have vast populations of their own that they need to inoculate. Though there are few signs of grumbling in either country, that could change as the public watches doses get sold or donated abroad.

The pains of the path

The Perceptions Square

Far away from home,
Up on those roads,
Tread through the boulders,
Walk through the forest,
Where trees touch sky
And your breath seems to fly.

Up, on the snow,
Your feet refuse to slow,
Let them feel the rocks,
Let them climb on and on !

When you reach the gates,
You’re welcomed by icy gales,
The pains of the path,
Find its meaning at last,
When you sweat finally glows,
With the rays of the star !

La razón del corazón…

Hassentidoque.wordpress.com

Pensamos con el cerebro y sentimos con el corazón, pero ¿por qué? a veces es el corazón el que termina mandando, tal cual como si fuese el jefe, entonces ¿cómo saber si hacerle caso al cerebro, o al corazón? Pues resulta, que el corazón envía más información al cerebro, que el cerebro al corazón, trabajan haciendo una buena mancuerna, uno con el otro.

“Sobre la temática de corazón o mente, ¿quién manda a quien? que si bien ha sido un tema discutido desde los griegos, hoy en día las neurociencias aclaran la respuesta. Aristóteles creía que el corazón era la cede de la sensación y de las emociones, tal concepto prevaleció en la antigüedad, desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo XVI. en el mismo Nuevo Testamento se habla de la relación del hombre consigo mismo, ya sea en el deseo. Hasta ese entonces fusionaban las sensopercepciones, el pensamiento y…

Yoshiro Mori Resigns as Tokyo Olympics President – The New York Times

TOKYO — Yoshiro Mori, president of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee, resigned on Friday, a little over a week after he unleashed a firestorm by suggesting that women talk too much in meetings.

His resignation followed unrelenting international criticism of his sexist remarks, which presented another challenge to Japan’s efforts to carry off the postponed Games amid a raging pandemic.

No successor was named. At a news conference Friday evening, Toshiro Muto, chief executive of the organizing committee, said a selection committee would be formed to choose a new president “as soon as possible.”
