Fionnuala loves her soaps. She was watching one the other evening (Emmerdale if you must know) where a scene was taking place inside a cafe. All the actors were wearing masks and socially distancing. There is no longer any kissing in soaps. Or fist fights for that matter. What is the world coming to, is […]

October skies Covid-blue / clear as a bell call for an end to summer’s heat time for one last shinning / one last gasp. Leaves present their colorful eulogy leaving marks on flat smooth stones lacking summer’s warmth. As days close in, winter’s chilling bony finger beckons us enter her icy sepulchral interment. White snow […]
Awaiting Resurrection — Roth Poetry
Could have been a delightful morning
If I could remember the pleasant dream
Abruptly erased, for I failed to embrace them dearly
All these worries rush in without my consent
Time descends toward uninspiring and dark depths
Where the brightest have to surrender
Tiring pace of monotony and the monochrome days
Early shadows across the new-born light
Their fading brilliance is an ominous sign

Mi piace Macron il presidente francese. Macron chi? Sì quel bancarietto anonimo sposato a una vecchia babbiona. Ultimamente il vairus gli ha imposto un cambio d’abitudine non da poco, non può più andare a cuccare centenarie in casa di riposo; i gilet gialli chi li ha più visti e sentiti? Insomma ha a disposizione oceani […]

Global Handwashing Day (GHD) is an international handwashing promotion campaign to motivate and mobilize people around the world to improve their handwashing habits. Washing hands at critical points during the day and washing with soap are both important.
Global Handwashing Day occurs on 15 October of each year. The global campaign is dedicated to raising awareness of handwashing with soap as a key factor in disease prevention. Respiratory and intestinal diseases can be reduced by 25-50%.
Global Handwashing Day was initiated by the Global Handwashing Partnership (GHP) in August 2008 at the annual World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden. This means that the first Global Handwashing Day took place on 15 October 2008. The date was appointed by the UN General Assembly. The year 2008 was also the International Year of Sanitation. The founding bodies in 2008 included: FHI360 (a nonprofit human development organization based in the US), US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Procter & Gamble, UNICEF, Unilever, World Bank Water & Sanitation Program and the United States Agency for International Development.
The Global Handwashing Partnership (GHP) (formerly called “Public Private Partnership for Handwashing” (PPPHW)) established Global Handwashing Day in 2008 as a way to promote a global and local vision of handwashing with soap.
Steering Committee members of the GHP include Colgate-Palmolive; FHI 360; The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; Procter & Gamble; UNICEF; Unilever; University at Buffalo; USAID; the Water and Sanitation Programme at the World Bank; and the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council.
Continued research on handwashing habits and practices is commissioned in conjunction with GHD. In 2011, Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA), sponsored a study to assess the handwashing habits of American and Canadian adults, finding that many were not using soap when washing their hands.
The TVs, the diagrams of our mobile phones and our PCs are absolutely powerful means that allow us to travel with our eyes but I take off our wings … because often everything that is transmitted deprives us of freedom of thought or it takes away the desire to go out and discover little things that, put together, can make a difference
