Ecosia and Tree Planting

FunWritings

Ecosia has made it easy for us to plant trees

Now you can easily provide homes for the birds and the bees

This is a great way to change lives in many places

Trees can put smiles on many faces

When they produce delicious fruits for us to eat

Our immune system gets boosted and the fruits are sweet

I am so glad they came up with this great plan

Now more people can believe that they can

Yes, we can plant trees

We are doing something good for not just the bees

We also contribute to having clean air

As Ecosia plans to plant more trees almost everywhere

Let’s try to make Ecosia as big as Google so more of the Global Co2 emmissions can be absorbed faster

We can do our part…

Why Bosses Need to Allow People to Fail

MiddleMe

Contrary to popular belief, failure isn’t something everyone should avoid, especially for one’s career. In fact, I believe failure can help you discover points that you may not have considered before and lead you to success.

As a team leader or a manager, here are some great reasons why you should let your employees or teammates make mistakes or fail:

Helps Them Think Outside The Box

Many successful businesses today did not immediately start with success. They had to start small and do trial and error to discover what method works to succeed.

When one is allowed to fail, they will be able to look back at their mistake and use other methods or create a new one to achieve the results they need. Experimentation and innovation are a huge part of many businesses’ success.

Helps Them Adjust Their Goals

Failure allows workers to adjust their goals accordingly, especially if…

Plaidoyer pour la nature et les peuples autochtones ! Non au projet de loi #490 ! …et un message d’un chaman Yanomami… – actualisé

Barbara Crane Navarro

Un homme Yanomami en route pour inviter un village voisin à un festin, Alto Orinoco, Amazonas, Venezuela

« Je pensais que si les blancs pouvaient m’entendre, ils convaincraient le gouvernement de ne pas laisser la forêt être détruite… Maintenant, les mineurs d’or puent la forêt avec les fumées de leurs moteurs et les vapeurs de l’or et du mercure qu’ils brûlent ensemble. Désormais, nous craignons le paludisme des mineurs d’or, qui est également très féroce…

Le souffle de vie des habitants de la forêt est fragile face à ces fumées épidémiques de xawara. Si nous mourons tous, personne ne pourra compenser la valeur de nos morts. L’argent et la marchandise des Blancs ne les ramèneront pas parmi nous! Et la forêt dévastée ne pourra jamais être restaurée non plus, elle sera perdue pour toujours. »

– porte-parole et chaman Yanomami Davi Kopenawa

Minbari Mondays, Mora’dum, and Cursing Names

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

There is another interruption in the sending of our fictional letter (reviewing each film and episode of Babylon 5) that I receive each week from Ranger Mayann.

Hopefully, reports from The Great Machine on Epsilon 3 will resume soon. Meanwhile, here is a short, based on the Ranger training use of terror, as it could be applied here on earth:

        The punishment will be worth it.

        If any technology sufficiently advanced appeared to be magic, so much the better for this human, harming others of his kind with no thought even for himself.  The Moradum would be perfect, to set an example.

    As the flame met the paper, the man’s hands began to burn.  His screams were muffled by the bands that began to wind more tightly around his face.  That had been a gift from a passing…

QAnon antisemite outed as Evangelical who gave synagogue one-star review – The Jerusalem Post

A popular, vociferously antisemitic promoter of the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory was identified as an evangelical Christian man from Florida. The man, who goes by GhostEzra on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, has more than 300,000 followers and posts “explicit Nazi propaganda, including outright Holocaust denial and a slew of conspiracy theories that often range from obliquely to explicitly antisemitic,” according to Logically, an organization that tracks disinformation online and uncovered his identity. Among materials, the man has posted is a 12-hour film that claims Jews created communism in order to dominate the world. GhostEzra’s Telegram channel, according to Logically, has effectively become a neo-Nazi chat room.
