A story by Laleh Chini:

My son had a strange dream:

He said:

A group of them got lost in a city in China.

It was around 12:30 pm and my son and his friends were starving. There was no civilization. Fear and hunger took over and as they gazed at the top of a distant hill, they saw a grand palace with Chinese architecture.

They naturally gravitated towards it but as they got closer, all of them felt fear of this place. They climbed almost 60 stairs that entered the palace.

Slowly his friends were saying: “Oh man, thank God we found this place. There are people waving in the window. There’s got to be food here.”

He was freaking out because he saw zero people, as his friends were seeing many. They got to the entrance and the doors were open.

” Dentro dos meus abraços

Os abraços hão de ser milhões de abraços

Apertado assim, coloco assim, calado assim

Abraços e beijinhos, e carinhos sem ter fim

Que é pra acabar com esse negócio de você viver se mim

Justice Department Reaches Settlement to Remedy Severe Racial Harassment of Black and Asian-American Students in Utah School District | OPA | Department of Justice

The investigation revealed persistent failures to respond to reports of race-based harassment of Black and Asian-American students by district staff and other students. The department’s review, which focused on 2015-2020, found hundreds of documented uses of the N-word, among other racial epithets, derogatory racial comments, and physical assaults targeting district students at dozens of schools. The department concluded that for years, Davis’s ineffective response left students vulnerable to continued harassment and that students believed the district condoned the behavior. The department also found that Davis disciplined Black students more harshly than their white peers for similar behavior and that Davis denied Black students the ability to form student groups while supporting similar requests by other students.  Black and Asian-American students are each roughly 1 percent of the approximately 73,000 students enrolled in the district…

Under the agreement, Davis will retain a consultant to review and revise anti-discrimination policies and procedures and support the district as it undertakes significant institutional reforms.  Among other steps, Davis will:

  • create a new department to handle complaints of race discrimination;
  • train staff on how to identify, investigate, and respond to complaints of racial harassment and discriminatory discipline practices;
  • inform students and parents of how to report harassment and discrimination;
  • create a centralized, electronic reporting system to track and manage complaints and Davis’s response to complaints;
  • implement student, staff, and parent training and education on identifying and preventing race discrimination, including discriminatory harassment;
  • analyze and review discipline data and amend policies to ensure non-discriminatory enforcement of discipline policies; and
  • develop a districtwide procedure to assess requests for student groups and treat such requests fairly.

Autumn Clouds

Michael Stephen Wills Photography

This evening cirrus clouds filled the sky at sunset. View the following photographs to understand how these forms are named from the Latin word for a ringlet, or curl, of hair. Formed above 16,500 feet, on this day the cirrus glow with the light of a sun low in the sky.

Here is a wide view from our driveway that includes a deteriorating con trail and possibly a mixture of other cloud types, I am no expert. I used a Canon “zoom” lens for flexibility in framing. To minimize exposure time for a crisp capture of the moving object, ISO was set to to 1,000 and the f-stop minimized.

Post production I needed to spend time removing dust spots (neglected to clean the image sensor), some of the images still have those annoying spots.

We enjoy…

House Finds Bannon in Contempt for Defying Jan. 6 Inquiry Subpoena – The New York Times

But what was clear on Thursday in the debate before the vote was that nine months after the deadliest attack on the Capitol in two centuries, most Republicans remained bent on whitewashing, ignoring or even validating the mob violence on Jan. 6 in Mr. Trump’s name, based on his lie of election fraud.

They did so seemingly at the direction of Mr. Trump himself, who in a statement before the vote derided the election he lost as a crime and praised the mob attack — which injured 140 police officers and claimed several lives — as a legitimate response.
