W.H.O. Official: ‘Europe Is Back at Epicenter of the Pandemic’ – The New York Times
Dr. Kluge said that there were 1.8 million new cases and about 24,000 deaths in the European region in the past week. “We are at another critical point of pandemic resurgence,” Dr. Kluge said. “Europe is back at the epicenter of the pandemic — where we were one year ago.” The region is reporting an average of more than 30 new cases a day for every 100,000 people, a rate that has almost doubled since mid-September. Eighteen of the 20 countries around the world that are reporting the most new cases per day, relative to their populations, are in Europe or the part of Central Asia that the W.H.O. includes in its European region. New reported cases reached a record high in Germany on Wednesday, when the nation recorded 33,949 new infections in a 24-hour period. Only 67 percent of the country is fully vaccinated. Covid-related deaths in Europe are also increasing. “If we stay on this trajectory, we could see another half a million Covid-19 deaths in Europe and Central Asia by the first of February next year,” Dr. Kluge said.
Timballo di patate vegan
Ecco a voi come realizzare un gustosissimo timballo di patate senza prodotti di origine animale.
Mi raccomando alla scelta della mozzarella di riso. Rigorosamente da adottare la fumè (sarebbe la variante affumicata) che servirà a dare quel tocco casereccio che farà la differenza.
Sorprenderete qualunque commensale soprattutto quando vi chiederà: “Che buono!!! Ma quei dadini dell’impasto non è mortadella?”
Ingredienti (per 4 persone):
1 kg di patate
12 spicchio d’aglio privato anima
50 ml di latte vegetale (avena o soia)
1 ciuffetto di prezzemolo
Wurstel vegetali (quelli a base di farro e soia andranno benissimo)
Mozzarella di riso “affumicata” (o fumè)
1 pizzico di curcuma in polvere
Pangrattato
Olio evo
Sale
Lessate le patate complete della loro buccia per 40 minuti circa o qualcosa in più.
Quando saranno ben cotte, potete o aspettare che si freddino lentamente oppure tuffarle in una capiente ciotola con acqua fredda di rubinetto e…

Un hombre enloquecido

Una persona que, ante cualquier circunstancia, pierde el control de sí, demuestra su nula evolución y sus debilidades. Es un ser humano que si tiene poder económico, muscular o político, es capaz de someter a otros hombres y mujeres, causarles daño y convertirse en tirano y en asesino.
Hace aproximadamente dos meses, en domingo de motocicleta, tuve oportunidad de enfrentar a un hombre iracundo que me amenazó, simplemente porque coincidimos en un espacio donde es fundamental conducir despacio por tratarse del ingreso a un centro comercial. Por respeto a sí mismo y los demás, es preciso disminuir la velocidad en ese tipo de áreas. Es algo elemental que practican las personas educadas y respetuosas. Él no lo hizo y, por lo mismo, casi me embistió con su camioneta lujosa, color plata.
Generalmente, no ando en motocicleta. Ese día lo…

Jury Convicts Chinese Intelligence Officer of Espionage Crimes, Attempting to Steal Trade Secrets | OPA | Department of Justice
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, beginning in at least December 2013, Xu used multiple aliases to target specific companies in the United States and abroad that are recognized as leaders in the field of aviation. He identified experts who worked for the companies and recruited them to travel to China, often initially under the guise that they were traveling to give a presentation at a university. Xu and others paid the experts stipends on top of covering travel costs. According to today’s conviction, Xu attempted to steal technology related to GE Aviation’s exclusive composite aircraft engine fan – which no other company in the world has been able to duplicate – to benefit the Chinese state.
In March 2017, a GE Aviation employee in Cincinnati, Ohio, was solicited to give a report at a university in China. The employee traveled to China two months later to present at the university and was introduced to Xu. Xu and others paid the employee’s travel expenses and a stipend.
In January 2018, Xu requested “system specification, design process” information from the employee and – with the cooperation of the company, who was working with the FBI – the employee emailed a two-page document from the company that included a label that warned about the disclosure of proprietary information.
In February 2018, Xu began discussing with the employee the possibility of meeting in Europe during one of the employee’s business trips and asked the employee to send a copy of the file directory for his company-issued computer.
Xu traveled to Belgium on April 1, 2018, to meet with the employee and was arrested at that time.
Xu was convicted of two counts of conspiring and attempting to commit economic espionage, which carries a maximum statutory penalty of 15 years in prison for each count and a fine of up to $5 million. Xu was also convicted of conspiracy to commit trade secret theft and two counts of attempted theft of trade secrets, which carries a maximum statutory sentence of 10 years in prison for each count and a $250,000 fine. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Last Chance! Concerned Bahamians call upon PM Davis to be “brave” in confronting the climate crisis and to reevaluate plans for Disney Cruise ship port at Lighthouse Point
There has been a lot of discussion on social media regarding political leaders who make grand speeches at the ongoing Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP16), while on the ground actions at home seem to belie their comments. This does not only apply to the developed countries, who are by far the most responsible for most greenhouse gas emissions. Perhaps surprisingly, these criticisms are being leveled at a number of developing countries, including some small Caribbean nations like Jamaica – and, in this case the vulnerable islands of the Bahamas (which suffered the devastating Hurricane Dorian in 2019). You would think they would know better, as countries literally on the frontline. But what are they doing at home to mitigate the impacts of climate change on their own countries? Mining? New tourism developments?
Our coastal areas (including our coral reefs) are particularly vulnerable to climate change; they are also home…

Passing of Road Traffic Act Regulations must be prioritized, says Private Sector Organization of Jamaica
The Jamaican Government has found itself in an embarrassing situation this week – over traffic tickets. A Supreme Court injunction on Wednesday may severely impactgovernment finances, unless Parliament does something quickly; so last night it convened a special sitting, which is continuing today(although, true to form for our House of Representatives, it started late this morning). It is now facing a refund bill of billions unless it passes some urgent legislation.
The situation regarding the Road Traffic Act, passed by Parliament over three years ago, is truly shameful and a sign of true incompetence. The regulations that will bring the legislation into force are still not complete. There have been numerous media reports, interviews, cajolings, and hand-wringing over the matter – to no avail. It is not fair on anyone seeking to implement a more orderly and fair regime on our roads. God knows, it is badly…
