Quick Take: Putin on Ukraine

With recent escalation in events between Ukraine and Russia [1] [2] [3], my friend sent me an article written this past summer outlining Putin’s view on the affair. Although I’m not an expert in Slavic politics and foreign relations, that doesn’t stop me from delivering a half-baked opinion on the issue of Ukrainian independence from Russia. I highly recommend that you as the reader read the full article below, it’s surprisingly well written and in a more-or-less heartfelt tone: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181 The Putin article is very interesting. I have only an elementary understanding of the region, and only from the viewpoint of the Russian Orthodox Church.

This is the same theme that replays con...

How I became a more avid reader

Originally written: 11/30/2018 Preface: I want to start this preface to make it clear that I am not the best, fastest, or most avid reader at all. However, I can say that I made significant progress in this area of my life over the past three or four years. This guide provides the reasons and the processes I undertook to try and read more. Because this guide only reflects my experience, it would be wrong for me to think this is universally applicable to all people. However, I again want to show how much I changed along this process.

Otherwise, between 2012-2016 I only really read for my college classes. My hope is that this guide can help you become better read in topics you want to learn about in time. 1. Begin with a topic you want to read about. a. For me, this was a...

US 2021 Vaccine Mandate Exemption Resources

Introduction As the push for vaccination attempts to accelerate in the United States due a recent onslaught of mandates from the Biden Administration, many around the web are struggling to find advice for how to approach mandates at their place of work, and more importantly, how to get around it using exemptions. Be reminded that approximately 40% of the U.S. population remains unvaccinated as of the time of this writing [1]. Therefore, I have a written document in the links below that some of you may find helpful. I also have a list of links gathered by myself and by a Brazilian collaborator containing various information we have found helpful. My hope is that someone finds some real utility in this post. Disclaimer: I am not a legal scholar. Take all advice at your own risk, but know that I stand by everything that I have written in the document below. I also had a difficulty finding information that is relevant for non-Christians in the US. If you have information ...
