Art Gallery / Sometimes...

Sometimes...

Sometimes, you are just plain gorgeous,
And we are all a little happier to be alive,
We find the sun shines a little more often,
And we are gentle with our friends.

Sometimes, the day's changes in you,
Bring us a joy that sings aloud in our hearts,
Cause our legs to dance a little as we walk,
Make us want to tell strangers, they are very much loved.

Sometimes you are stunningly beautiful,
In ways we do not understand,
We do not quite know what we should do,
Though we are very sure, we should do it very well.

                             Like a deer in our gardens,
                             Like a hawk in our skies,
                             Like the laughter of children,
                             Like advice from the wise.

Sometimes, you shine so brightly,
We all get a little dizzy from the light,
And say silly things we really mean,
You should understand, this is how it should be.

I believe that there is not, and never will be, such a website as you are looking for:
1) The information you are looking for is constantly changing (in both directions).
2) Can you say "Invitation to Sue"?
3) How could anyone track it anyway?

You can't hand off your security like that.
You should use a reputable free security package, or use a reputable paid security package. The only one I have never seen anything make it through is Kaspersky Internet Security. It what I use on all my machines, for many years...

Could you please also give a (non-madeup) definition and origin.
That one looks suspiciously like missing an Umlaut (ü). This would turn it into a technically valid German word (that could be tranlsated as 'beak leader') but that is unknown to me.

Edit: googling it (and the possible variants) just yields 10 hits, all of them either a misspelling or mistranscription of '...Schnabel führet' (carries <in its> beak)
Sorry, apparently my memory of German vocabulary is somewhat unreliable.  ::)

It's been taken over by a Zombiebot. It's constantly trying to a) talk to Aliens, or b) transfer money to Nigeria or c) assist the Chinese Government.
Use Task Manager to look for suspicious processes.

Bah! Humbug!

Philosophers are just like Theologists, only more opinionated!  ::)
Wittgenstein the Elder is the only one that makes any kind of sense to ordinary people. (after he spent some years as an elementary school teacher...)

OTOH despite all the xenophobic attempts to the contrary over millennia, men have absolutely no problem mating with women of other races, countries or religions.

Not to change the subject...
They do if they're old, fat and ugly men...

Latest scary thought:
Though there are 4 LEVEL 4 hospitals in the USA, They have a total of 9 beds, of which 4 are already in use.
That leaves only 5 beds available for any new cases.

It might be possible to add perhaps 5 more, with sufficient money, and 'borrowing' skilled CDC staff...


When you recall that they are isolating and tracking 77 people who had medical contact with the original patient under LEVEL 2 conditions (exactly like the two nurses already infected).

If only 20% of them turn out to be infected, there won't be enough places to put them...

It could turn into a full-fledged outbreak, in the USA...

What the Dallas hospital admins seem to have not been thinking was.

A nurse trained in BSL 4 protocols and with BSL4  PPE , in a BSL 4 facility would be regarding 'bodily fluids' as the lethal pathogens they are for Ebola Patients.                   

Any 'ordinary' nurse  has had years of training and experience with ordinary 'body fluids'.
This 'everyday hero', when encountering sheets and gowns, and suchlike, covered in shit, and/or blood, and/or vomit, 'Sucks it up [I run for someone else to do it], then Picks it up, then pitches it in the laundry bin', which with Ebola  Patients is an immediate disaster.

The CDC is saying that there are only 4 BSL 4 hospitals in the US (The others are research labs.)
They have just changed their recommendations to send all confirmed cases to one of those 4 immediately.
There are very disturbing reports from DALLAS that the nurses are saying that a supervisor told them that the simple Face Shields were unnecessary  :scared: :headbang:
And that the separation of the 'Isolation Ward' from the rest of the Hospital consists of a plastic curtain on a curtain rail !  :doh!: :nono: :fit: :hide:

I don't know if you've heard about the nurse in Dallas, who got Ebola through caring for the guy who flew in.
In particular, I don't know if you're getting any of the details reported...

As far as I can tell, in regular 'Community' hospitals like the one in Dallas, the 'isolation' facilities are a 'LEVEL 2' facility, and the 'personal protective equipment'(PPE) issued is also 'LEVEL 2' (gowns, masks, 'Shower caps', gloves, shoe covers, large face shields).
The hospitals used before this man, are 'LEVEL 4' facilities and the PPE is all Level 4 (Tyvec space suits, closed circuit breathing apparatus, two different types of gloves, etc.).
The CDC Teams, and the medical teams sent out to West Africa, also use Level 4.
Hell, even the commercial company hired to clean out the Ebola mans apartment of the contaminated bedding and clothing wore Level 4 gear.
The 'training' provided in the use of the Level 2 gear to the hospital staff consisted of a 7-page memo.

If a medical research facility was handling Ebola and used anything less than Level 4, they would be shut down immediately and people would be prosecuted.

I personally recommend "Lookout" as a security App on Android. It's free (even the paid extras are cheap, but most people don't need them).
I haven't had a single virus incident in the 18 months since I installed it.

It particularly delights me by every so often giving me a message that reads "Lookout - everything is OK". :o :P  (Think about it...)
