The problem is you don't learn anything:
They may as well be speaking a foreign language at this point after a year of grit and despair they have pushed over lies has left such a Great Divide.
In one of many small touches, the hotel library features books curated by the Boston Public Library along with a rooftop restaurant and larger guest rooms as the Globe puts on the “Ritz.”
Is that why they are ordering the schools open as variants and cases allegedly surge along with the never-ending jabs?
Better go ask the nur$e:
"They promised to become partners but never truly did. Now, more than 25 years after Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women’s hospitals joined forces to boost their clout with penny-pinching HMOs, trustees and executives are making their most sweeping attempt yet to set aside old rivalries and work as a unified health care system. The new bid for unity and efficiency spans every corner of the organization, from marketing and IT to medicine and surgery, and it underscores a shift in power from its famed doctors and hospitals to executives at corporate headquarters....."
The ho$pital carries with it a whiff of communi$m, with all due re$pect.
All in all, I would rather not talk about it and will just run along to the next class.

"As pandemic upends teaching, fewer students want to pursue it" by Emma Goldberg New York Times, March 27, 2021
Few professions have been more upended by the pandemic than teaching, as school districts have vacillated between in-person, remote and hybrid models of learning, leaving teachers concerned for their health and scrambling to do their jobs effectively.
For students considering a profession in turmoil, the disruptions have seeded doubts, which can be seen in declining enrollment numbers. Many program leaders believe enrollment fell because of the perceived hazards posed by in-person teaching and the difficulties of remote learning, combined with long-standing frustrations over low pay compared with professions that require similar levels of education. (The national average for a public school teacher’s salary is roughly $61,000.) Some are hopeful that enrollment will return to its pre-pandemic level as vaccines roll out and schools resume in-person learning, but the challenges in teacher recruitment and retention run deeper.
For some young people, doubts about entering the teaching workforce amid the pandemic are straightforward: They fear that the job now entails increased risk. In some instances, remote teaching has deprived education students of training opportunities altogether. Applications may tick back up as schools return to in-person learning, said Marvin Lynn, dean at Portland State University in Oregon, but the challenges are likely to outlast this year. Educators had been struggling with recruitment to the profession long before the pandemic began.
Not all teacher preparation programs are experiencing a decrease in interest. California State University in Long Beach saw enrollment climb 15% this year, according to the system’s preliminary data. Marquita Grenot-Scheyer, assistant vice chancellor for the university system, attributes this partly to an executive order from Gov. Gavin Newsom that temporarily allowed candidates to enter preparation programs without meeting basic skill requirements because of the state’s teacher shortage.....
Meaning your teacher doesn't know anything and is stupid, but can probably read the Marxi$t talking points that emphasize the hard work of miners , and that is when may print paper dismissed class so.....
Here I am procrastinating on the assignments when the U.S. vaccination campaign is accelerating rapidly, with more than 91 million people — roughly a third of the adult population — having received at least one shot of a Covid-19 vaccination by Saturday and Massachusetts is in the midst of a high-stakes campaign to vaccinate 4.1 million adults in an effort to bring an end to a pandemic that has sickened hundreds of thousands and caused more than 16,000 deaths in the state and the DPH said the rate would be 4.0 percent if the effect of college testing programs — in which asymptomatic people can be tested repeatedly in an effort to rapidly identify new cases — is factored out.
Te$ting for a nonexistent virus is becoming an indu$try so keep your no$e clean!

"Authorities in Greece said students and teachers will have to use self-test kits for COVID-19 in order to attend classes when schools reopen. Greece is planning to make the test kits freely available on a weekly basis to every resident of the country with a social security number, starting next month. The program is designed to allow for the reopening of schools as well as restaurants and retail businesses which have remained mostly closed since the lockdown was imposed in early November. Greece is currently grappling with a surge in coronavirus infections which has seen many hospitals run by the state health system reach capacity. The country’s center-right government says it plans to launch the tourism season in mid-May but has not yet given a date for schools and retail businesses to reopen. School children of all ages are currently attending compulsory online classes....."
I wonder if the Greeks will even notice the tyranny after all they went through in the 20th century, and to think that is where the foundations of modern thought and the free exchange of ideas was born.
Of course, they have. The people of Greece really don't take any shit from anybody when their back is to the wall -- especially these guys:
"A year ago, Giordana Grego’s parents spent Passover at home in Israel, alone but grateful that they had escaped the worst of the pandemic in Italy. This year, the whole family will get together to mark the Jewish feast of liberation and deliverance from the pandemic. Israel has vaccinated over half its population of 9.3 million, and as coronavirus infections have plummeted, authorities have allowed restaurants, hotels, museums and theaters to re-open. Up to 20 people can now gather indoors. It’s a stark turnaround from last year, when Israel was in the first of three nationwide lockdowns. “For us in Israel, really celebrating the festivity of freedom definitely has a whole different meaning this year after what we experienced,” said Grego, who immigrated to Israel from Italy. “It’s amazing that this year we’re able to celebrate together.”
Actually, not really and it makes you wonder how Netanyahu could have possibly lost the recent election if that is true.
Meanwhile, as local rabbis reflect on Passover a year into the pandemic with reflection and hope and with the coronavirus pandemic’s end finally in sight, its ancient teachings are taking on new meaning for Massachusetts’ Jewish community.
That's what the Globe cooked up for you today, along with this column from a Jewi$h mother:
"It has been a grim week, a grim year, a grim half-decade from where I sit. We’re at over half a million deaths from COVID in this country, many of them preventable. Lives and livelihoods have been destroyed. We’ve had a deadly insurrection at the Capitol and attacks on our democracy continuing across the country, designed to thwart those most likely to vote Democratic, and particularly Black voters, and this after a year that further exposed the horrific wages of this nation’s original racist sins. It’s hard to feel sunny in the midst of all of that, but though life here on Earth is in fact hard and tough, even an inveterate downer can acknowledge the value of taking heart wherever you can find it. For example, this season of renewal — spring, Passover, Easter — feels a heck of a lot more uplifting now that vaccines are starting to liberate us....."
The liberation by vaccine makes one want to vomit; however, one wonders what she is complaining about when the bad orange man is gone.
In fact, he doesn't even appear in my paper today, and just yesterday I was told that “what we need to be focused on is getting out of this, getting to the new normal, and you know, we’re just not there yet, but we could get there faster if we hold off on all of this widespread reopening.”
To suggest anything else is to be lumped in with "far-right extremists" as Jeff Zients, coordinator of the White House’s coronavirus response, said opportunities for more Americans to be immunized signaled the program’s success while Biden administration officials are anticipating the supply of coronavirus vaccine to outstrip US demand by mid-May if not sooner, and are grappling with what to do with looming surpluses when vaccine scarcity turns to glut between the end of May and the end of July, children and adolescents who are still unvaccinated could require scores of millions of booster shots because no one is certain if or when immunity could wear off, according to the New York Times.
That begs the question of whether people immunized against the coronavirus can still spread it to others(!??!) and a new study will attempt to answer the question by tracking infections in vaccinated college students and their close contacts and the results are likely to be of intense interest because all of the participants will swab their noses daily to check for the virus, provide periodic blood samples to screen for antibodies, and answer questions through an app $cientists will follow for five months.
If you don't have it and are immunized against it, why would you be spreading it?
WTF??
The VAXXEEN IS THE VIRUS!??!
Oh, what an evil $cam!

"Dozens gunned down in ‘day of shame’ for Myanmar" by Richard C. Paddock New York Times, March 27, 2021
At a military parade Saturday, the general who led the overthrow of Myanmar’s civilian government in February said the army was determined “to protect people from all danger.”
Before the day was over, the security forces under his command had shot and killed a 5-year-old boy, two 13-year-old boys and a 14-year-old girl. A baby girl in Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, was struck in the eye with a rubber bullet, although her parents said she was expected to live.
Of course, the same pre$$ organ conveniently passes over a certain chosen tribe when they do it.
The fact that they are waving the children at you here is a huge tell vis-a-vis future war plans.
The slain children were among dozens of people killed Saturday as security forces cracked down on protests across Myanmar in what appeared to be one of the deadliest days since the Feb. 1 coup led by Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, commander of the Tatmadaw, as the military is known. One news outlet, Myanmar Now, put Saturday’s death toll as high as 80.
“Today is a day of shame for the armed forces,” Dr. Sasa, a spokesperson for a group of elected officials who say they represent Myanmar’s government, said in a statement.
The killings took place on Armed Forces Day, a holiday honoring the Tatmadaw, which was the occasion for Min Aung Hlaing’s speech in Naypyitaw, the capital.
The general promised to pave the way for democracy, despite having rejected the results of the country’s Nov. 8 election and arrested many of those who were elected to Parliament that day. He reiterated a pledge to hold new elections but offered no timetable.
Among more than 3,000 people who have been detained by the military since the coup are the ousted civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, and the president, Win Myint. Their party, the National League for Democracy, won by a landslide in November.
In his speech to the assembled troops, which was broadcast on national television, Min Aung Hlaing noted that the Tatmadaw was founded by Gen. Aung San, a national hero. He did not mention that the general was Suu Kyi’s father.
The Armed Forces Day ceremony, a highlight of the year for the Tatmadaw, is usually attended by a slew of foreign diplomats. This year there were fewer, representing China and several other neighboring countries.
Also present was Russia’s deputy defense minister, Alexander Fomin, who was singled out for praise by Min Aung Hlaing.
He gave him a medal and a ceremonial sword, and here we see the fulcrum of the situation. Myanmar becomes a huge impediment and stumbling block on any regional or worldwide war.
Russia has been an important supplier of weapons to the Myanmar military, and as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council it can be counted on, along with China, to block any attempt by the international body to impose sanctions on Myanmar.
U.S., Israel.
The United States said Thursday that it was putting its own financial sanctions on two military-owned conglomerates that control a large segment of Myanmar’s economy.
$o what?
Who cares anymore?
Sanction the whole f**king world and isolate yourself, you f**king band of parasites.
On Saturday, the U.S. ambassador to Myanmar, Thomas Vajda, said the security forces were “murdering unarmed civilians, including children,” and he called the bloodshed “horrifying.”
The widespread killings Saturday came a day after military-run television threatened protesters with being “shot in the back and the back of the head” if they persisted in opposing military rule.....
The AmeriKan war machine is the current, decades-long champion of such things so..... sigh.
I will let you in on a little secret: I have never met them and don't want to come hell or high water.
"At the Suez, hoping a rising tide will lift a boat four football fields long" by Vivian Yee New York Times, March 27, 2021
MANSHIYET RUGOLA, Egypt — Hauling cars, oil, livestock, laptops, jet fuel, scrap metal, grain, sweaters, sneakers, appliances, toilet paper, toys, medical equipment and much more, the vessels were supposed to supply much of the world, and the canal was to have been their quickest path from Asia and the Middle East to Europe and the east coast of the United States.
Canal authorities said Saturday that dredgers had managed to dig out the rear of the ship Friday night, freeing its rudder, and that by Saturday afternoon, they had dredged 18 meters down into the canal's eastern bank, where the ship’s bow was stuck solid, but after a salvage team failed once more to dislodge the four-football-field-long leviathan from the sand bank where it ran aground Tuesday, blocking all shipping traffic through the canal, global supply chains churned closer to a full-blown crisis.
Easing the bottleneck depends on the salvagers’ ability to clear away the sand, mud and rock where the Ever Given is stuck and to lighten the ship’s load enough to help it float again, all while tugboats try to push and pull it free. Their best chance may arrive Monday, when a spring tide will raise the canal’s water level by up to about 18 inches, analysts and shipping agents said.
The company that oversees the ship’s operations and crew, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, said 11 tugboats were helping, with two more due Sunday. Much of the work, however, was invisible. The team of eight Dutch salvage experts and naval architects overseeing the operation will need to survey the ship and the seabed and create a computer model that will help it work around the vessel without damaging it, said Capt. Nick Sloane, a South African salvage master who led the operation to right the Costa Concordia, the cruise ship that capsized in 2012 off the coast of Italy.
If the tugboats, dredgers and pumps cannot get the job done, they could be joined by a head-spinning array of specialized vessels and machines requiring perhaps hundreds of workers: small tankers to siphon off the ship’s fuel; the tallest cranes in the world to unload some of its containers one by one; and, if no cranes are tall enough or near enough, heavy-duty helicopters that can pick up containers of up to 20 tons — though no one has said where the cargo would go.
If the ship breaks free by Monday, the shipping industry can absorb the inconvenience, analysts said, but beyond that, supply chains and consumers could start to see major disruptions.....
That is where the print got stuck an I was told it would be at least a week so full astern!!

Accompanying the alleged $pring Break violence, a police department in Maryland has released body camera video that captured two of its officers berating a 5-year-old boy who had walked away from his elementary school, calling him a “little beast” and threatening him with a beating but he has not been censured for his conduct as Sheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times asks if new gun violence research can find a path around the political stalemate and pave the way for gun policies that avoid partisan gridlock and ultimately save thousands of lives — after her paper pushed and continues to push wars based on lies that led to the deaths of millions and sufferings of countless more that has given conscientious human beings heartburn.
"This has been a year of extreme social deprivation, but the pandemic - like all pandemics before it - eventually will end. Then what? Will we easily transition from isolation back into the real world? For most of us, the answer probably is yes, although it may take time to adapt, according to social scientists who study human behavior; nevertheless, scientists predict that after many more Americans are vaccinated, society might resemble what followed in the aftermath of the 1918 influenza pandemic, a decade known as the Roaring Twenties, an age striking in its excesses. Before the celebrations begin, however, there probably will be some trepidation as people adjust to their newly restored freedom. The desire for physical contact is inherent; however, on the other hand and furthermore, people should prepare themselves for some relationships to end, but children should fare well, in fact, better than many people expect, because "children are designed to be very resilient and bounce back....."
So the absolute criminal hell and everlasting damage they have been put through this year -- those that survived anyway -- is no big deal because kids are resilient and bounce back even after things like beatings and sex abuse. What a sickening attitude.
My advice to Manchin is get a food taster, add trusted security, and don't fly in any small planes because these guys play for keeps (Tower, Wellstone, Heinz, all opposed central banks, btw).

"The attorney general’s office has filed a lawsuit against the owner of a North Andover driving school that closed after the owner was arrested last year for trafficking methamphetamine, allegedly leaving 1,500 students without lessons or the more than $1 million they had prepaid, officials said. North Andover Auto School closed in October, when the Registry of Motor Vehicles revoked its licenses after owner Michael Larocque was arrested the previous month, the office of Attorney General Maura Healey said in a statement. State Police said in September that Larocque, 56, of Lawrence, was running a “large-scale methamphetamine” operation and that more than 2 pounds of methamphetamine were seized at Larocque’s home, the Globe reported. Healey’s office filed a lawsuit Thursday in Essex Superior Court against both Larocque and the school, which was also known as MV Auto School, for violating the state’s Consumer Protection Act, according to the statement. The suit seeks more than $1 million in restitution for former students. Prosecutors are also seeking a preliminary injunction to preserve Larocque’s assets to be used to repay students, the statement said. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for Thursday. Larocque is also set to appear for arraignment in his criminal case in Essex Superior Court on April 7, the AG’s office said. He was indicted last month by an Essex grand jury on charges of possession of a class D substance, trafficking 36-100 grams of methamphetamine, possession of a class A controlled substance, and two counts of trafficking in 200 or more grams of methamphetamine, officials said."

When he returned, the bicycle was missing. Jason Ventolieri, 44, was later seen riding what the victim said looked like the stolen bike on Dartmouth Street, Transit police said. Officers pursed Ventolieri down the street and stopped him. Ventolieri had several outstanding warrants for his arrest, including one issued in the Charlestown division of Boston Municipal Court for various motor vehicle violations and larceny from a building and one from Cambridge District Court for receiving stolen property, according to the statement."
He stopped pedaling after getting shot:
"A 19-year-old Cambridge man was fatally shot on Pemberton Street early Saturday morning, according to the Middlesex district attorney’s office. The victim was found outside his vehicle unconscious around 12:40 a.m. by a passerby who called 911, the district attorney’s office said in a statement. Police located the man suffering from gunshot wounds near the Rindge baseball field and the basketball courts on Pemberton Street. The victim was treated on scene and taken to Mount Auburn Hospital where he later died, according to the statement. No further information was immediately available. Authorities ask anyone with information to call Cambridge police....."

Her domestic partner, Jeffrey Buchannan, 33, allegedly assaulted Pattelena on the beach around 4 p.m., according to the statement. The couple had one child together. York police found Pattelena dead behind a rock after responding to multiple 911 calls reporting an assault, State Police said. The Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit — South was called to assist the York Police Department with the investigation. An autopsy determined the cause of death to be blunt force injury to the head, State Police said. Her manner of death was ruled a homicide. Maine State Police detectives and crime scene technicians remained at the scene Saturday and were expected to continue the investigation throughout the weekend. Buchannan is expected to make his first court appearance at York County Superior Court in Alfred after the weekend, State Police said."

"Armed robbery suspect whom State Police shot and killed had troubled past; family believed it was behind him" by Lucas Phillips Globe Correspondent, March 27, 2021
A man who allegedly robbed a Rockland convenience store and stole a police car before State Police fatally shot him in a stand-off Friday had a troubled past that family believed he had put behind him.
Eric M. Leach, 36, allegedly robbed a 7-Eleven at gunpoint, hopped in a Rockland police cruiser, and led law enforcement on a chase through six communities, according to Rockland police and the Norfolk district attorney.
After a standoff in Quincy, Leach allegedly got out of the cruiser with a police patrol rifle and a State Police trooper shot him once, killing him, officials said.
?????
How was he “able to enter a Rockland police cruiser?”
Police SWAT teams surrounded a Rockland Police vehicle that was stolen by an armed robbery suspect and was pulled over on the Burgin Parkway near a BJ's gas station in Quincy on Friday (David L. Ryan/Globe Staff)
With all due respect, it looks like another drill and the photographer just happened to be there, huh?
So how and why is the guy dead, and where is he?
They shot him in cold blood after surrounding him?
Leach had recently been on probation for shooting an 8-year-old Brockton girl in 2012, according to Plymouth Superior Court documents.
In 2015, Leach pleaded guilty to five charges in the 2012 case, including assault and battery and firearms violations, court documents show. He was sentenced to three to five years in prison, including time he had already served, with three years of probation beginning in 2017, according to court documents.
A family member said he was stunned by Friday’s incident, saying Leach, who was divorced and had two children, had put past troubles behind him.
“Unbelievable,” Leach’s foster brother, Mario Zona, 43, of Saugus, said in a phone interview Saturday. “It’s not something that he would do.”
Despite the criminal record?
This looks like a guy that was known to them was set up in a, you know, take the gun situation, right?
Zona said the 2012 incident was an accident and called previous run-ins with the law “stupid little adolescent stuff.”
In recent years, Leach had grown into a funny, loyal father of two children and worked as a laborer installing pools, but was out of work because of the pandemic, Zona said. Now, his family is struggling to understand what happened.
“We’re just trying to put the pieces together,” Zona said.....
As they get paid off to go along with the $cam?
If the pre$$ account is correct, this guy was desperately trying to get money to put food on the table and is now another uncounted CVD death and part of history.
Turns out they shot him out of an excess of caution:
"Man arrested after allegedly trying to run over police officers" by Andrew Stanton Globe Correspondent, March 14, 2021
A 24-year-old Boston man was arrested Friday night after allegedly trying to run over officers during a traffic stop, police said.
Boston officers pulled over Eugene Parrish near 329 Washington St. at about 9:47 p.m. and learned he did not have a driver’s license, police said in a statement.
As they spoke with Parrish, they saw what looked like the outline of a gun protruding from beneath the sweatshirt of the front-seat passenger, a 16-year-old boy from Boston, the statement said.
Officers tried to remove Parrish from the vehicle, but he allegedly put it in reverse and accelerated toward officers standing behind the vehicle, hitting a cruiser and causing front-end damage, according to the statement.
He then allegedly drove onto the sidewalk at a high speed in an attempt to flee, striking a vehicle and a street sign near 1 Waterlow St. before coming to a stop, the statement said.
Officers approached the vehicle and found the passenger was no longer inside, the statement said.
When they opened the driver’s side door to remove Parrish, a violent struggle ensued, and he allegedly struck the officers several times while they arrested him, the statement said.
The officers found the passenger near 17 School St., the statement said. They retraced his steps looking for discarded weapons but found nothing.
The juvenile, who was not identified due to his age, was released to a guardian after questioning, the statement said. That portion of the investigation is ongoing.
Parrish is scheduled to appear in the Dorchester division of Boston Municipal Court Monday on charges including assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, four counts of assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, and malicious destruction of property, the statement said.
His defense is he was just heading to a juice bar.

I only mention it because I did in fact watch the better part of the game and was most impressed by the local hockey club. They are a top-notch power now and it was exhilarating watching their graceful skill while completely smothering the other team's attack.
Furthermore, I spent two hours watching the longest NCAA hockey tournament game ever this morning that determined their next opponent, the two-time defending champion and tougher-than-nails Minnesota-Duluth team that beat UMass in the final two years ago. Should be quite a match-up next week.
Additionally, I found watching the hockey less stressful for several reasons. One was because the North Dakota site had fans without masks and was about a third full if not more. It wasn't the same as a full arena, but they were already behind glass anyway and have the least impact amongst the four major sports as far as fans go. It was a welcome and unexpected relief, to be honest.
