Recuperation journey: Looking at the sky

At 8 p.m. Saturday.





And at 9:15 p.m.:



The moon this evening is in waxing gibbous phase, 95 percent illumination. 
After checking online I'm pretty sure Jupiter is visible here above the moon in the southeast sky.
Please correct me if I'm wrong!

August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month


National Minority Donor Awareness Month is a collaborative initiative of the National Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation Multicultural Action Group to save and improve the quality of life of diverse communities by creating a positive culture for organ, eye and tissue donation. National Minority Donor Awareness Month stems from National Minority Donor Awareness Week, founded in 1996 by the National MOTTEP to bring heightened awareness to donation and transplantation in multicultural communities  focusing primarily on African American/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaskan Native communities.
National Minority Donor Awareness Month is focused on outreach and education, including virtual events and messaging to:
  • Provide education about organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation 
  • Encourage donor registration & family conversations about donation
  • Promote healthy living and disease prevention to decrease the need for transplantation
