  1. Good evening everyone from the gray Northwest. I've noticed many threads going in a million directions out there....

    Let's all try something new...... when we notice that we are forking... and commenting back and forth with another member under a topic that has become unrelated to what you currently want to post please start to post on the profile page of the intended member as a "Status Update" so as to avoid chaos.

    This may not work... but I figure it's worth a shot.

  2. Welcome! I would love to hear and see more about our brothers in your area. Please post some news and photos when you get a chance. And don't forget to add yourself to our member map when you get a chance.

    Agape!

      I read about a trial of using convalescent plasma therapy, is it working? The article I read didn't show results yet

      혈장 치료로 2명 완치...정부, 곧 치료지침 발표 It has emerged that two elderly coronavirus patients in South Korea made a full recovery after receiving blood plasma treatment. Health authorities say plasma treatment guidelines will be announced within days. Kim Hyo-sun reports. South Korean researchers have proved the effectiveness of blood plasma treatment on coronavirus patients. Doctors at Yonsei Severance Hospital in Seoul administered plasma therapy on two elderly coronavirus patients,... a 67-year-old woman and a 71-year-old man. They were treated with plasma from people who had recovered and have developed antibodies to the virus,... enabling their bodies to protect themselves from the virus' attacks. One of the patients was discharged after making a full recovery,... while the other is set to be sent home soon. "The patients continued to suffer from acute respiratory distress syndrome even after antiviral treatment. Then we decided to go with plasma treatment in combination with steroids." Plasma is a yellowish blood fluid you get from centrifuging blood. It carries various nutrients including protein as well as antibodies. Antibodies,... which are Y-shaped proteins produced by the immune system,... stop intruders from harming the body. These invaders, called antigens,... can be viruses, bacteria, or other chemicals. Antibodies also enable macrophages to engulf viruses and bacteria. The South Korean government says it will soon provide detailed guidelines for the treatment,... which was also used to treat patients during the MERS outbreak. "The guidelines for plasma treatment are nearly done, and we will swiftly commence research on other means of treatment." For now, it's crucial to secure enough plasma from people who have fully recovered from COVID-19. The government also needs to prepare for possible side-effects as no large-scale clinical trials have been conducted yet. Kim Hyo-sun, Arirang News.

      Last week, the FDA tapped the Mayo Clinic to lead and coordinate the effort and evaluate the treatment’s effectiveness.

      Since then, hospital systems around the nation have registered through the Mayo Clinic to start treating patients with convalescent plasma. Texas hospitals that plan to try the treatment include Methodist Hospital Stone Oak in San Antonio, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

      Five patients at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center in Houston — part of the Baylor College of Medicine — have been treated with convalescent plasma, said Dr. Ashok Balasubramanyam, vice president of academic integration and associate dean of academic affairs at the Baylor College of Medicine. The school has also been authorized to conduct a clinical trial, expected to start within a couple of weeks.

      On Thursday, a patient in Austin received a convalescent plasma infusion, the first in the city, said Dr. Jeff Yorio, a hematologist and oncologist at Texas Oncology who helped get the program started in Austin.

      I guess not... although I often compare modern "hits" to the time spent walking the streets "from house to house" to find one person "at home"......

      We reach people in different ways and times with small snippets of data nowadays rather than the

      192 page books of yesteryear.

      It was truly a different place and time.

  5. Although I probably shouldn't... I am going to go make myself some english muffins with lots of butter on them as an evening snack.

      Bomba de barril"

      La Unión de Organizaciones de Ayuda Médica, entidad benéfica con sede en Estados Unidos que trabaja con hospitales sirios, dijo a la BBC que el Hospital Rural de Especialidades de Damasco había confirmado la muerte de 70 personas.

      Una portavoz de la organización dijo que los informes sobre el terreno sugerían un número mucho mayor, de alrededor de 180 muertos, pero que era difícil llegar a las víctimas 

      debido al bombardeo continuo y a la oscuridad de la noche.

      Agregó que había informes de personas que estaban siendo tratadas por síntomas como convulsiones y espuma en la boca, que coinciden con aquellos causados por la exposición a agentes nerviosos o a gas de cloro.

      El Centro de Medios de Guta, afín a la oposición, tuiteó que más de 75 personas se habían "sofocado" y que otras 1.000 habían sufrido los efectos del supuesto ataque.

      A TV - report  said,  they  had  to  pick  an  immense  mass  of  blossoms,  to  get  the  little  less,  red  twists,  which  we  can  buy.  Some  twists  for  some  Euro's....  thats  the  reason !  Few  mg.  for  some  Euro's,  thats  expensive,  yes.  But  for  a  special  rice  meal,  we  need  safran :)  an  especially  taste !

  11. Did you stop making music? O.o

    1. Francesco Gabellini

      Francesco Gabellini

      Dear Librarian, good morning.

      Of course, we didn't stopo to make music.

      Just right this month we have played about 10 songs.

      But mixing and videos require time.

      Be patient......

  12. Do you work for Boeing? Just curious.

    1. SHARON  LEE  MOYER

      SHARON LEE MOYER

      no, hon'..... my father worked for United Airlines....lemme' rephrase that.... the REAL United Airlines... not the joke it has become since being taken over by Continental.    He worked from March 12, 1962 to September 27. 1997, starting in Newark, when the airport was on the other side of the highway,  then a small stint in Raleigh-Durham, and finally up here in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, at Bradley International.    I think that aviation - starting with our feathered friends - and culminating in these beautiful behemoths - is one of Jehovah's finest creations.....  from the Wright Brothers and on.   I am soooo hoping that after Armageddon, as the clean-up is progressing along and loved ones are being resurrected, that Jehovah will do for me, like He did with Bezalel and Oholiab - Exodus 31: 3-5 - to fill me with all the knowledge needed to fly a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10, my favorite aircraft,  and fly brothers and sisters all around our beautiful Paradise, to see loved ones, make new friends, meet with those from the Bible, and for me personally, to head down to Raleigh-Durham, and pick up my grandmother and grandfather [mother's side].  My grandmother was in the Truth, she was living in Somerville, New Jersey in the late 60's, early 70's when she was baptized.   They were living in Pinebluff, North Carolina, in 1992 when she fell asleep in death, follow by grandpa in 1994.   Of course, the first thing she would probably say is, ''Were you part of the Great Crowd?'' and I would say, ''Yes, grandma, and... I became a Witness.''  Added treat would be to find out where she was baptized - Allentown, Philadelphia, Trenton - and do the same.   Then just after telling her that I am a Witness, that I too, was baptized in the same city as her.    I can just imagine her laughter and tears of joy.   So far, I am the only one of her grandchildren who has studied, and is progressing towards getting myself into the Theocratic Ministry School, then on to becoming an unbaptized publisher, and then baptized.   

      So..... getting back to Boeing, here's a quick history lesson for you.    

      If you can see the DC-10 down at the bottom,  you will notice 4 stars on it...  

      That's not ''4-star service'', it's the 4 airlines that combined to make ''United Airlines'', and they are....

      Varney Air Lines, Pacific Air Transport, National Air Transport and......Boeing Air Transport.    Add to that, at one time, one of the largest ''parent'' companies in the world was UAL Corp., comprised of Boeing, United Airlines, Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Standard  -  Hamilton located just across the street from Bradley International Airport. 

      Drag.    Thrust.    Lift.    Weight.         the 4 forces of Flight.      Forces working together, that can lift aircraft such as the Antonov AN-225, AN-124, and the C-5 Galaxy off the ground, fully loaded, weighing over one and a half million pounds,  and make it all look so effortless......

      I stand in awe of one of Jehovah's creations everyday.    He is just so awesome. 

      oh..... and I like the way it rhymes.... too cool.    

      okay..... I think I babbled enough - LOL.    

      later....

      GOOD  EVENING 1f601.png  Yes,  dreaming  in  the  sun  is  wonderful,  but  careful  bec. the  skin.  I  had  a  white-cancer  spot  before  some  years, not funny :(  Was  looking  so  small,  but  after a  test  the  Doc. said,  little  surgery ;-(  

      In  Germany  also  very  warm  summerdays  just  in April,  a  little  wonder :)  But  next  week  again  10  degrees  colder...  We  know  these  up  and  downs. Summer  &  winter  always  a  surprise  in  Germany :D

  19. Good morning everyone! I'll go out and check the different forums for news to see what's new going on out there.... first my morning tea though ;-) 

  20. Headed to a seafood buffet to eat some sushi and crab tonight... mmmm.... (let's not talk about microplastics in the water though)

      Queen Esther

      Oh....   I  LOVE  seafood  so  much,  yummi :P  Yes,  not  think  to  these  terrible  pictures :(  We  don't  eat  these  very  cheap  fishes, okay?  We  drive  a longer  way  to  get  the  best 1f44d.png  Then  we  can  enjoy  our  meal....  Yes,  better  less  meat  or  fish,  but  when,  then  good  quality  for  our  body :D  bec. *we're  what  we  eat*....

      In  Germany,  fish  is  more  expensive  than  meat,  but  our  body  needs  more  fish.  Sad  for  the  most  people,  bec. very  poor :( 

      Look  here,  how  tasty  can  be  fish :P   Its  a  copy  from  the  today  post  of  my  Maldives  Meeru  island....

      The E puts a slight Y sound at the beginning but better left unless you hear it done.
