International Nurses Day 2021: Nurses, the caring change agents of our society
the roles of nurses have changed with great responsibilities and with a lot of challenges. A typical day in the life of a nurse on the COVID war front is filled with great uncertainty and a constant marathon. Every single shift has the potential to be momentous, exhilarating, exhausting, energizing, or all of the above. On any given day, nurses can see people at their weakest and most vulnerable, or at their strongest and most resolute times. Moreover, a single breach in infection prevention practice can cause life-threatening infections to any patient, especially for critical COVID patients who are immunocompromised considering the use of steroids, raised blood glucose levels, and use of medications that suppress immunity. Nurses acts as patient advocates to ensure that the right treatment reaches the patient in the right manner. They witness the results of life-ending injuries and illnesses with such regularity that they become par for the course. Yet, this just the tip of the iceberg.
The stories and experiences that nurse have had since the pandemic is beyond compare but the lessons learned are here to stay. -

Her banter with Cher was among the film’s highlights, including a scene in which Dukakis scolded her daughter during a kitchen dissection of her love life.
“Your life’s going down the toilet,” Dukakis said in her throaty voice.
At another point, she tells Cher it is good she did not love her fiance. “When you love them, they drive you crazy because they know they can.”
“Moonstruck,” considered one of Hollywood’s great romantic comedies, won three Academy Awards, including Cher as best actress, and was nominated in three other categories, including best picture. It also was one of the highest-grossing films of 1987.
In accepting her Oscar as best supporting actress in April 1988, when her cousin was battling to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, she thanked Jewison, her husband and a few others.
She then raised the golden statuette over her head and shouted to the worldwide TV audience, “OK, Michael, let’s go.”
Michael Dukakis won the nomination but lost badly in the general election to Republican George H.W. Bush. Olympia Dukakis embraced liberal views like her cousin, advocating for causes including women’s rights, gay rights and the environment.
Dukakis was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, on June 20, 1931 and continued to act into her 80s.
Referring to becoming a movie star at an age when many actresses have a hard time finding good roles, Dukakis told the Guardian newspaper in 2012, “Who knows how that happened? Chance, fate or a bit of both. But I’m very glad I did ‘Moonstruck.’ It meant that I woke up the next day and was finally able to pay the bills.”
Dukakis said she enjoyed her fame after “Moonstruck.”
“The fun part is that people pass me on the street and yell lines from my movies,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 1991. “For ‘Moonstruck’ they say, ‘You’re life is going down the toilet.'”
Her TV appearances included playing a transgender landlady in the 1993 miniseries “Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City” and its 1998 and 2001 follow-ups.
Other films included “Cloudburst” (2011) playing a foul-mouthed lesbian, “Away from Her” (2006) with Julie Christie, “The Event” (2003), “Better Living” (1998) with Roy Scheider, “Never Too Late” (1996) with Cloris Leachman, and “Dad” (1989) with Jack Lemmon and Ted Danson. -

Jones also interviewed Kardashian on CNN for The Van Jones Show to discuss her meetings with President Trump to discuss commuting the sentences of nonviolent offenders like Alice Johnson.
Per the outlet, Jones called her meeting with Donald Trump to discuss Johnson and others “the most effective, emotionally intelligent intervention that I’ve ever seen in American politics.”As for Jones’ personal life, he split from his wife Jana Carter in 2018 and hasn’t been linked to anyone publicly since, telling Wendy Williams in 2019 that he had no dating life to speak of.

LETS RAISE OUR VOICE ..............Brown died one day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd — a case that inflamed nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice.
The Elizabeth City mayor is calling for North Carolina to change its laws to streamline the release of footage from officer-worn cameras, saying a delay of up to 48 hours should be sufficient.
Initial details about Brown's death "are tragic and extremely concerning," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said on Friday. He added, "The body camera footage should be made public as quickly as possible and the SBI should investigate thoroughly to ensure accountability."
Seven sheriff's deputies have since been placed on administrative leave. Three others resigned, though the sheriff's office said the resignations were not related to the shooting. -
Oscars 2021: Chloé Zhao, 'Nomadland' make history at wobbly Academy Awards The producers of the 93rd Academy Awards were handed an unenviable assignment.
They were tasked with putting on a lively show that resurrected both the rarefied glamor of vintage Hollywood and the comforting normalcy of life before the pandemic — all while abiding by a laundry list of Covid-19 safety protocols. If they succeeded, the thinking went, they just might be able to stave off a record-low ratings disaster and maybe even drive some Americans back to movie theaters. -

The Suicide Squad’: The First Trailer Is Wild, And NSFW At long last, the trailer to James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad has finally been released. As we knew from the initial casting announcements, there aren’t many characters in common with the original film from 2016: Viola Davis is back as Amanda Waller, the government agent who helps assemble the team. Also is Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, who starred in her own film, 2020’s Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). But Warner Brothers seems to want to distance this film from the original: they are not calling the film “Suicide Squad 2,” but The Suicide Squad. The 2016 film’s official title was Suicide Squad (without the “The”).
Unsurprisingly, the film seems more like a spiritual cousin to Gunn’s Marvel series, the Guardians Of the Galaxy, which also features a bunch of misfits coming together as family to… well, get something done. And like Guardians, Gunn’s Suicide Squad features Michael Rooker, who we see in the trailer, as well as Gunn’s brother Peter Gunn. Like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, this sequel also features Sylvester Stallone. -
‘Women Belong In The Kitchen’: Burger King’s International Women’s Day Tweet Goes Down In Flames Women belong in the kitchen.” For Burger King’s United Kingdom division, those five words tweeted on International Women's Day prompted a day of flame-grilled outrage from social media users.
The tweet was meant to be a humorous tease for a campaign promoting a cooking scholarship for female employees, but it fell flat.
Follow-up tweets put the first tweet in context: “If they want to, of course. Yet only 20% of chefs are women. We're on a mission to change the gender ratio.”
Unfortunately for Burger King, many Twitter users never got past that first tweet, which hung there for hours and attracted a litany of abusive comments. The ad offered immediate context through the copy: “Fine dining kitchens, food truck kitchens, award-winning kitchens, casual dining kitchens, ghost kitchens, Burger King kitchens. If there’s a professional kitchen, women belong there.”
The ad continued: “But can you guess who’s leading those kitchens these days? Exactly. Only 24% of chef positions in America are occupied by women. Want to talk head chefs? The number drops to fewer than 7%.”
Like many fast-food brands, Burger King has enjoyed a boost in popularity during a pandemic when drive-through lanes became a socially distant solution for hungry travelers and hometown diners alike.
The Burger King Foundation’s H.E.R. (Helping Equalize Restaurants) Scholarship will give two female employees a grant of $25,000 each to be used toward culinary education.
It’s a worthy program, Fer Machado, the global chief marketing officer at Restaurant Brand International, Burger King’s parent company, told Fast Company.
“It’s a real shame that it’s getting lost on the U.K. conversation,” said Machado. “In the end, the intention behind what we are doing here is really good. And the whole thing is more than just an ‘ad’ or a ‘tweet.’ But we are discussing here.”
Still, the backlash against Burger King may turn out to be a storm in a teacup compared to a recent PR disaster for Hyatt. A Nazi symbol integrated into the stage design at Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), held earlier this month at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida, fueled a campaign to boycott the hospitality brand. -
Elon Musk trolls GM, Chrysler on Twitter. Ford CEO responds with 1 word. Just one word.
That's all Ford CEO Jim Farley used to respond to Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Friday.
"Tesla & Ford are the only American carmakers not to have gone bankrupt out of 1000’s of car startups. Prototypes are easy, production is hard & being cash flow positive is excruciating," Musk tweeted Thursday.
Farley retweeted Musk early Friday saying only, "Respect."
Reaction on Twitter has been swift with likes, retweets and spicy comments.
Musk, of course, is quietly acknowledging the bankruptcies of General Motors and Chrysler, now part of Stellantis. Staying afloat during the Great Recession a decade ago has long been a point of pride for Ford. -
Sony patents tech that turns ‘bananas’into a PlayStation controller The patent is essentially a method that turns a “non-luminous passive object being held by a user” into a controller, superimposing virtual buttons on top of it, with a banana being described as the example. A camera could detect the objects so they could be used as controllers, or a camera could “detect a user’s finger in the obtained images” to coincide “with the location of the virtual button”. The idea is to use any physical object, it could a coffee mug or an orange, as a video game controller.

Powerful earthquakes force thousands to evacuate in New Zealand; tsunami threat passes WELLINGTON, New Zealand — One of the biggest earthquakes to hit the South Pacific in modern history forced thousands of people in New Zealand to evacuate and triggered tsunami warnings across the world Friday, but it did not appear to cause injuries or major damage because it struck in remote ocean.
The magnitude 8.1 quake was the largest in a series of tremors that hit the region over several hours, including two earlier quakes that registered magnitude 7.4 and magnitude 7.3. The earthquakes triggered warning systems and caused traffic jams and some chaos in New Zealand as people scrambled to get to higher ground.
Residents recorded videos of small wave surges in some places, including at Tokomaru Bay near Gisborne. In the afternoon, the National Emergency Management Agency said the threat had passed and people could return to their homes, although they should continue avoiding beaches
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said ocean gauges had measured tsunami waves of 30 centimeters (1 foot) in Vanuatu and said waves of similar size could cross the Pacific to Latin American coasts.
The largest quake struck about 620 miles off the coast of New Zealand. One of the earlier quakes hit much closer to New Zealand and awoke many people as they felt a long, rumbling shaking.
Hope everyone is ok out there,” New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern wrote on Facebook during the night.
After the largest quake, civil defense authorities in New Zealand told people in some coastal areas to immediately get to higher ground.
Emergency Management Minister Kiri Allan told reporters that people had followed the advisory.
“They felt the long or strong earthquakes, and they knew to grab their bag and head into the highlands,” she said. “I can only thank and acknowledge the tireless efforts of the men and women from up and down the coast who knew how to act, when to act, and what to do.”The U.S. Geological Survey said it was centered near the remote Kermadec Islands at a depth of 12 miles.
The agency said in a report that the quake occurred at the intersection of the Pacific and Australia tectonic plates and eclipsed the largest quake previously recorded in the region, a magnitude 8.0 in 1976. It said the interaction between the plates creates one of the most seismically active regions in the world, and it has recorded 215 quakes there above magnitude 6.0 over the past century.
Jennifer Eccles, an earthquake expert at the University of Auckland, said the quake was at the top end of the scale for those involving only the Earth's ocean crust. This is about as big as it gets,” she said.
She said most quakes larger than magnitude 8.0 tend to occur when a section of more robust continental crust is involved.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 7.4 quake was likely a “foreshock” that contributed to the larger quake but that the first quake that hit closer to New Zealand was too far away in time and distance to have directly contributed.
Officials in New Zealand had hours earlier issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas after the first quake struck off its northeastern coast at about 2:30 a.m. Friday. There were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties, and the warning was lifted just before the largest quake hit. The U.S. Geological Survey said the first quake was centered at a depth of 13 miles under the ocean about 108 miles northeast of the city of Gisborne.
It was widely felt in New Zealand, and residents in the major cities of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch reported being shaken awake.
In 2011, a magnitude 6.3 quake hit the city of Christchurch, killing 185 people and destroying much of its downtown. -

J.J. Watt agrees to two-year contract with Arizona Cardinals
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Free-agent pass-rusher J.J. Watt has agreed to a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced Monday.
Terms were not disclosed, but a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter the deal is worth $31 million and includes $23 million guaranteed.
Before the Cardinals announced the agreement, Watt broke the news by sharing a photo on Twitter: Watt later indicated he and his wife, Kealia, were traveling to Arizona on Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill's plane. He tweeted two photos, one of himself posing with Bidwill and the other of himself and his wife sitting in Bidwill's plane.
"I'm excited to get started," Watt said on the tarmac after the plane landed. "Very excited to get started, get to work, get to know the people of Arizona."
Watt, 31, was released by the Houston Texans, who granted his request on Feb. 12, ending his 10-year run with the franchise.
Four days later, Watt's former Texans teammate and current Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins posted on Instagram a photo of himself and Watt edited to be in a Cardinals uniform with the caption: "Let's finish what we started..." -

CPAC 2021: Here are the lies Donald Trump told Donald Trump clung to his core election falsehoods in his first post-presidential speech, wrongly blamed wind power for the catastrophic power failures in Texas and revived a variety of the baseless claims that saturated his time in office, on immigration, the economy and more.
A look at Trump’s remarks Sunday at the Conservative Political Action Conference:
TRUMP: “We built the strongest economy in the history of the world.”
THE FACTS: No, the numbers show it wasn’t the greatest in U.S. history, much less in the history of the world. He was actually the first president since Herbert Hoover in the Depression to leave office with fewer jobs than when he started.
The U.S. did have the most jobs on record before the pandemic, but population growth explains part of that. The 3.5% unemployment rate before the pandemic-induced recession was at a half-century low, but the percentage of people working or searching for jobs was still below a 2000 peak. TRUMP: “We built the strongest economy in the history of the world.”

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Romer looked at Trump’s economic growth record. Growth under Trump averaged 2.48% annually before the pandemic, only slightly better than the 2.41% gains achieved during Barack Obama’s second term. By contrast, the economic expansion that began in 1982 during Ronald Reagan’s presidency averaged 4.2% a year.
