Lucas, um garotinho de seis anos, tinha óculos e cabelos escuros, mas sua paixão por livros, quebra-cabeças e comportamento peculiar o tornavam diferente dos outros meninos de sua idade. Isolado e solitário no parquinho, Lucas desejava ter amigos com quem brincar e compartilhar suas descobertas. Até que um dia, Sofia, uma garota curiosa e inteligente, se aproximou dele.

It offers an international perspective on how countries with different population sizes, climate conditions, and healthcare systems responded to the crisis.Chapter three delves into the legal dimensions of COVID-19 in India. It explores the pivotal role played by the Disaster Management Act, 2005, the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897, and the Epidemic Diseases (Amendment) Act, 2020, along with other relevant legislation. This chapter also examines disaster management agencies at different government levels and their cooperative federalism approach.Chapter four explores India's national lockdown strategy as an embodiment of cooperative federalism. It analyzes the diverse actions taken by states to implement lockdown measures, emphasizing the cooperative role played by states of varying populations.The concluding chapter synthesizes the findings and offers suggestions for legislation, norms, and policies to better prepare India for future crises. It underscores the need for a more detailed framework to address unforeseen disasters comprehensively.This research provides a holistic understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on India, its legal response, and the lessons learned for future preparedness.

Serge Provencher nous livre des chroniques du temps qui passe et qui s'accroche les pieds dans des moments, des situations, des relations qui grincent. Aveud'incompréhensiondelapartdel'auteurquiappelleàun civisme plus galant au Québec qu'il nomme "Agonibec". C'est tout dire ou presque. À coeur ouvert, Provencher ose encore parler de "l'inparlable" tel qu'il a eu l'audace d'écrire sur les malades mentaux et sur les femmes battues. Plutôt que des problèmes d'ordre institutionnel et patriarcal, dans Langue sale. Réflexions en laine d'acier, ce sont surtout des travers de comportements et de culture personnelle qui ébranlent les valeurs de l'écrivain. C'est aussi à de grands questionnements individuels et sociétaux, à des prises de conscience qu'il nous convie par sa "prise de parole" car il n'est pas facile de s'expliquer à soi-même ainsi qu'à son lectorat ce qui le frustre, et ce, dans une langue vivante qui emprunte à l'ironie sa sagesse. Le mieux du pire, c'est que nous nous reconnaissions dans les propos, la fièvre mentale, les vertiges de l'âme d'un écrivain à la sensibilité toute singulière.

Over the past several decades, our civilization has experimented with several alternatives to faithful marriage. Yet the evidence is abundant that from a personal as well as a public perspective, we are most likely to flourish when faithful, monogamous, natural-law marriages are plentiful and the norm. In contemporary language, the concept of marital fidelity often boils down to refraining from engaging in sexual relations with anyone other than one's spouse. However, this narrow perspective not only oversimplifies the matter but also fixates excessively on the sexual dimension of marriage. If we align with the teachings of natural law, which define marriage as the sacred bond between a man and a woman who: 1) wholeheartedly give themselves to each other in mind, will, heart, and body; 2) embrace the potential for procreation; 3) commit to a lifelong partnership; and 4) remain exclusive (without any involvement of third parties), then the essence of fidelity extends beyond mere physical boundaries. It fundamentally revolves around remaining true to the profound exchange of selves that takes place within the institution of marriage. Over the years all of this has been eroded not just by people being polygamous but with them being polyamorous. Hence, we can categorize various forms of betrayal that infringe upon distinct aspects of the marital union. A breach of fidelity in terms of intellect and will encompasses desiring or longing for emotional intimacy with someone outside the marital bond, which can even encompass neglecting one's spouse's needs without external involvement. Emotional infidelity, conversely, entails diverting one's emotional affections towards another person and neglecting the emotional requirements of one's spouse. And, naturally, physical infidelity involves the body and encompasses yielding to external physical, including sexual, interactions and/or disregarding the physical and sexual needs of one's spouse. Essentially, the transgression of marital trust can manifest not only through sexual acts but also through various other means, such as forming intellectual or emotional connections with a friend of the opposite sex other than one's spouse. In fact, intellectual and emotional unfaithfulness often serve as the steppingstones that pave the way for descending into sexual infidelity. Our existence is an intertwined harmony of body and soul, and the communion of our souls (through our thoughts and emotions) organically progresses to the unity of our physical forms. Consequently, safeguarding the sanctity of marital love entails channelling our most intimate treasures exclusively towards our spouse and repelling any alternative allurements.

Dawn to Dusk is an intimate expression of expanded perspectives intended to inspire and stimulate your mind. It separates the belief in the absolute truth from the relative truth, also known as reality. Once that distinction is clear in your perspective, you will gain access to the freedom that you've been longing for and understand that life is just life and everything about it, as well as you, is all made up, and holds no truth. Even my bio is all a perspective. It is real, meaningful, filled with richness, and significant and unique to me, yes, but not a single bit of it is true. This book is intended for global audiences because it's all about being human. Much of it is written in the first person for you to embrace personally, and yet, is about all of us. Each Dawn, you will hopefully awaken rested, and before beginning your day, read your morning's offering. You are invited to extract any passage that moves you and own it. You may want to write them down, take a cell phone snapshot of them, or share them throughout your day. This can help to shift and reinforce your new perspectives on a particular subject matter and notice how empowered you feel as a result. Nighttime showers help to wash the energies of the day away. This helps prepare you for the Dusk offering which is read at night or just before bedtime. Going to bed clean and with new thoughts to consider, can change your physiology and encourage the deep sleep that your body requires to be reenergized and rejuvenated. There are 365 daily passages, and like most forms of learning, it requires repetition to assimilate and incorporate anything new and worthwhile. The slow titration of newly infused mind perspectives is key to a happier quality of life. The intention is to ensure that your dawns and dusks become more special and something that you look forward to each day.
