मेरी डायरी

Vivaldi translation: my diary
जून 05 2021
Another common day. Night saw the dream, they lost their heart in the morning, wandering from the path and took shelter of rest

The easier it is to dream, the more difficult it is to change. It is not difficult because our path is difficult but difficult because we ourselves are the biggest distance between our dreams and truth. We do not dare but only slowly Try to end that distance on the right.

Harshita Singh

एक और आम दिन । रात ख्वाबों को देखा , उन्हें मन ही मन जिया पर सुबह फिर पथ से भटक कर आराम का आश्रय लिया।

सपने देखने जितना आसान होता है उन्हे सच में बदलना उतना ही मुश्किल। मुश्किल इसलिए नहीं होती की हमारा रास्ता कठिन हैं बल्कि मुश्किल इसलिए होती है क्योंकि हम स्वयं अपने सपने और सच के बीच का सबसे बड़ा फासला होते हैं।हम हिम्मत ही नहीं करते की धीरे चलकर ही सही पर उस दूरी को समाप्त करने का प्रयास करें।

Making A Mockery Of Our Lives …

Filosofa's Word

Of late, the Republican Party, aka GOP, have done most everything in their power to make a mockery of this nation, of the democratic underpinnings in our very foundation, and of the U.S. Constitution.  They have tested the limits of lunacy and it almost seems as if their entire goal is to prove that nothing really matters, that people don’t matter, the environment doesn’t matter, our very lives matter little to them.  Now, it’s easy to brush off their lies, their conspiracy theories as being beneath our dignity to even discuss.  And in one sense that’s true, but in another sense … their constituents listen to them, hang on their every word, believe them, and in far too many cases, such as January 6th of this year, act upon their words.  This means that yes, we must pay attention, we must be prepared to tell the truth, to counter…

The National Registry of Exonerations Releases Grim, Eye-Opening Report — Wrongful Convictions Blog

This is way beyond a few slipping through cracks – it shows up our shameful attitudes based on race and being poor.

We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident

This month our nation exceeded 25,000 years lost to wrongful convictions. The human suffering associated with the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of 2,795 innocent people is incalculable. Without the research and reporting of the National Registry of Exonerations (NRE), we likely would not know of or comprehend the truth or implications of this horrific milestone.

The report, “25,000 Years Lost to Wrongful Convictions” released today quantifies the reality of a justice system making its most egregious error: convicting an innocent person. The NRE defines an exoneree as a “person who was convicted of a crime and later officially declared innocent of that crime, or relieved of all legal consequences of the conviction because evidence of innocence that was not presented at trial required reconsideration of the case.”

The NRE has focused on exonerations since 1989. Here are a few highlights from the report:

• On average, each exoneree spent…

Velike plave planine , Australija – Greater Blue Mountains Area, Australia

Greater Blue Mountains Area, Australia

Myrela

Poslije peticije stanovnika Sidneja, u kojoj je zahtjevano da se jedan dio Plavih planina iskoristi za “poboljšanje zdravlja, morala i intelekta stanovništva”, guverner Novog Južnog Velsa je 1883. godine osnovao rekreacioni park Vodopadi Katumba. Ovi živopisni vodopadi, međutim, nisu prva oblast na ovim planinama koju su britanske vlasti podredile nekoj svrsi. Sa igradnjom željeznice duge 60 kilometara, koja je povezivala Sidnej s ovim dijelom divljine, 15 godina ranije, i brojnih turističkih objekata, mnogi su rado posjećivali pećine Fiš river ili Veliki kanjon. Sa izuzetkom ovih atrakcija za izletnike, Velike plave planine koje se prostiru na preko 10.000 km², a gotovo četvrtina pripada Nacionalnom parku Plave planine osnovanom 1959. godine – ostale su sve do početka XX vijeka skoro u potpunosti neistražene od bijelog stanovništva. Domoroci su taj region posmatrali kao dio svoje mitologije pošto se tu odigrava epsko putovanje Gurangača, Zmije-Duge koja se čak i danas pojavljuje u njihovim predstavama…

Catholic order that staffed Kamloops residential school refuses to share records families seek | CBC News

The order of nuns that taught at the former Kamloops residential school, and others in B.C., continues to withhold important documents that could help tell the story of how Indigenous children died at the schools over the last 150 years.

The Sisters of St. Ann has never approved the release of relevant government records — documents that could relate to deaths at the schools —  according to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and the religious order.
