Is our mind really forged by culture?

Our while should always be forged by culture .. and especially in a period like this, in which technology has taken over, the book (symbol of culture) should remain the tool with which to forge our mind. But often it is others who forge ours mind and it is hoped that culture always heals what is inside … because even false cultures must be identified …

The world after the covid era [diary]

By now most people are tired of the pandemic.
the more advanced states are vaccinating almost the entire population, but precautions remain.
As you know by now, the vaccine does not guarantee 100% protection and also lasts about 10 months.
Autumn is approaching and the scary of new lockdowns are tangible …
But when will all this pandemic chaos end? Until we find a vaccine that is 100% effective and lasts a minimum
5-6 years will not completely resolve the situation and could always be with a mask, spacing and other precautions.
To be precise, vaccines should not be called such, but should be called serum, because not give
a definite immunity but only temporary protection. Of course, the discovery of these serums is essential while waiting for a real one
vaccine, but don’t confuse things. In the past, for diseases like polio, it took many years to find a vaccine that made people immune

Yom Kippur and Sukkòt, the Jewish world in celebration and prayer

«The Jewish calendar is luni-solar: holidays, days, months and years are based on the time taken by the moon for its revolution around the Earth, the seasons on the time taken by the Earth for its orbit around the Sun. Lunar and solar year differ by about ten days. To recover them, some embolistic years were created, with 13 and not 12 months »

Today, September 16, the 10th of the month of Tishri, Yom Kippur is celebrated, the holiest and most solemn day in the Jewish calendar.

A day entirely dedicated to prayer and penance and which “wants the Jew, aware of his sins, to ask the Lord for forgiveness”. It is the day when according to tradition: “God seals his judgment on the individual”. «[…] Before Kippur the moral and material debts that one has towards other men must have been paid. One must personally ask forgiveness from those who are offended: God for transgressions committed against him, while those committed against other men must be compensated and healed “, reads the website of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities (Ucei) .

Starting from 20 September it will be the Sukkòt Festival, also known as the “Feast of the huts”.

It is precisely the huts that characterize this joyful anniversary that recalls the stay of the Jews in the desert after the liberation from slavery from Egypt: forty years in which they lived in precarious homes, accompanied however, according to tradition, by “clouds of glory”.

SpaceX sends four civilians into orbit. The Inspiration4 mission has started

The SpaceX mission “Inspiration4”, the first space mission with a crew of only four private citizens without any previous astronaut training, started in the Italian night. For the next three days, the four “civilians” aboard the Crew Dragon will travel in low earth orbit, flying over 90% of the inhabited land of planet Earth

The Insiration4 space mission, the first in the world entirely civilized by SpaceX, left at 8 pm (2 am in Italy). On board the Crew Dragon “Resilience” that now orbits over our heads, in fact, there are four people who have never carried out any specific training as an astronaut, other than that given by SpaceX in view of the mission. Of the four people on board, only one is a billionaire, the venture’s financier Jared Isaacman. The other three are “normal” people (at least by the standards that astronauts have accustomed us to): geoscientist Sian Proctor, engineer Christopher Sembroski and Dr. Hayley Arceneaux (the first person in space with a prosthesis). Each of the four crew members was assigned a call sign for communications during the mission: “Rook” for Isaacman, “Leo” for Proctor, “Nova” for Arcenaux and “Hanks” for Sembroski “Hanks”.

Inspiration4 has left Earth from Kennedy Space Center’s historic Launch Complex 39A, the embarkation point for the Apollo and Space Shuttle missions, and for the next three days it will travel overhead flying in low Earth orbit, possibly even higher. of the International Space Station (which is about 390 kilometers high). The four crew members were selected by SpaceX on the basis of four different human characteristics that well represent the spirit with which the earthlings are facing the future of space exploration: leadership, prosperity, generosity and hope.

The mission’s goal is completely new in the space exploration landscape: not scientific research but charity. In fact, the purpose of Inspiration4 is to raise 200 million in funds for childhood cancer research conducted by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, one of the most advanced centers in the world. Anyone can somehow “finance” this space mission by sending their donation. Beyond the nice gesture, SpaceX revolutionizes space once again, no longer a frontier, but an absolutely familiar place for both those who leave and those who remain on the ground, which can feel much more involved in the new space age of humanity than it is. it could do so earlier with missions run by state space agencies.

The sadistic slaughter of dolphins and porpoises. Shame on the barbaric Faroe islanders!!! — Opher’s World
