Imaginations are more important than knowledge!

My experience

We all make fantasies. Everything that appears to be true today has started with fantasies. We can imagine everything. However, the barriers of thinking in these corridors are not reduced. Many ideas are still buried deep inside. Sometimes we are not encouraged, sometimes the situation is not right. Sometimes we get so caught up in the routine that we do not allow our imagination to roam freely. Sometimes what we think becomes right there. And this is what we forget. We think on obstacles and go on stumbling. Knowledge is limited and imagination can cover the whole world. While knowledge engages the conscious world, the imagination dives into the vast ocean of the subconscious mind.

Il falso “Morbo di K” inventato dal medico Ossicini

During the Second World War, Adriano Ossicini, doctor at the Fatebenefratelli hospital, located on the Tiberina island and near the Jewish ghetto, together with the primary Giovanni Borromeo invented the K disease to save dozens of Roman Jews from Nazi-fascist roundups and prevent them from being sent to the Extermination camps.

le pagine dei nostri libri

Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, Adriano Ossicini medico all’ospedaleFatebenefratelli, sito sull’isola Tiberina e vicino alghetto ebraico, insieme al primario Giovanni Borromeo inventò il morbo di K per salvare decine di ebrei romani dai rastrellamenti nazifascisti ed evitare che venissero inviati nei campi di sterminio.

Egli, insieme ai suoi colleghi, compilò false cartelle cliniche con il nome della malattia, a cui venne dato il nome dalle iniziali degli ufficiali nazisti Kesselring e Kappler, definendola “contagiosissima” in modo tale da scoraggiare i nazisti dal controllo dei nomi dei pazienti. I medici si riferivano a questi pazienti, come pazienti “Kesselring” per indicare i pazienti in fuga dai tedeschi.

Al morbo di K fu dedicato un reparto in cui furono ricoverati sotto falso nome ebrei e polacchi che restavano qualche giorno, fino a quando da una tipografia non arrivavano clandestinamente falsi documenti di identità che ne permettevano la fuga dopo essere stati dichiarati morti…

The Hill We Climb, by Amanda Gorman

By Hook Or By Book

The other day I shared a few videos of my favorite moments during Wednesday’s inauguration, and one of them was 23-year-old poet Amanda Gorman. To say she impressed me is putting it mildly, so I’m sharing her unforgettable performance again along with the transcript of The Hill We Climb.

When day comes we ask ourselves,
where can we find light in this never-ending shade?
The loss we carry,
a sea we must wade
We’ve braved the belly of the beast
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace
And the norms and notions
of what just is
Isn’t always just-ice
And yet the dawn is ours
before we knew it
Somehow we do it
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed
a nation that isn’t broken
but simply…

« After the gold prospectors arrived … the forest had become bad and was filled with xawara epidemic fumes. The shaman elders who knew how to make the spirits’ image dance had died of these deadly fumes. »

As the Yanomami spokesman and shaman Davi Kopenawa says in his book The Falling Sky : « We went to the gold holes where the garimpeiros were working. … there were really very many of them here, far more than us!  They had dug vast ditches bordered with huge gravel heaps all over the place to find the shiny dust they were relentlessly searching the streams for.  All the watercourses were flooded with yellowish mud, soiled by motor oils, add covered in dead fish. Machines rumbled in a deafening roar on their cleared banks and their smoke stank up the entire surrounding forest. … 

I told myself: ‘Hou! This is all very bad. These white people seem to want to devour the earth like giant armadillos and peccaries! If we let them…

We had not made dumplings for a long time, so we decided Christmas was a good time to make dumplings from scratch. We wanted to make white and purple dumplings.

Is Remote Work Here to Stay?

MiddleMe

With COVID-19 sweeping nonstop across the world, companies have shifted their employees to a more remote work set-up to keep the economy afloat and their businesses going. A huge investment in automation has been placed by every company, both large and small businesses, to help workers keep up with their tasks.

For workers, remote work is ideal because they can earn at home, and spend more time with their loved ones. Others may take time to get used to it, but mostly everyone welcomes its availability. For companies, having this option reassures them that they can continue their businesses without problems. However, this also means investing heavily on technology to keep everyone connected and automating the tasks that cannot be done remotely.

Once the pandemic is over, there are thoughts on whether remote work set-up will stay or not. According to experts, it will certainly stay, but the standard office…

Rep. Andrew Koenig, Critic of Pandemic Restrictions, Has COVID-19 | News Blog (wants to be “free” to infect and kill others)

Missouri Sen. Andrew Koenig has tested positive for COVID-19, just days after sponsoring legislation that aims to strip local health authorities of the power to impose rules designed to slow the spread of the virus.

The Republican lawmaker confirmed in a text message to Riverfront Times columnist Ray Hartmann that he has tested positive but said he is doing OK.

Koenig, who represents a swath of southwest St. Louis County, is among a group of Republicans who have been outspoken critics of restrictions imposed by county health officials on businesses and individuals.

“Shutting down our economy won’t eradicate the virus,” Koenig was quoted as saying in a St. Louis Post-Dispatch story about a package of bills designed to loosen pandemic restrictions. “It’s my choice if I want to risk getting COVID. No one is forcing anybody to stay home.” Source: Rep. Andrew Koenig, Critic of Pandemic Restrictions, Has COVID-19 | News Blog
