Delta Dunava, Rumunija – Danube Delta, Romania

Myrela

Riječ delta koristi se u nekoliko jezika da označi posljednju dionicu rijeke – mjesto gdje se rukavci odvajaju od glavnog toka prije nego što se rijeka ulije u more – a skovali su je Grci na osnovu sličnosti između trouglastog slova “delte” iz grčkog alfabeta i izgleda rijeke i njenih rukavaca. Prva delta rijeke koja je uočena, istražena i opisana jeste delta Dunava, te velike rijeke kojoj je istoričar Herodot iz Halikarnasa 450. godine p.n.e. odao priznanje da igra vodeću ulogu u evropskoj civilizaciji. Korito Dunava dužine 2.896 kilometara i plovno skoro cijelom svojom dužinom, zauzima površinu od 1.294.441 km², a oko osamdeset miliona ljudi u osam različitih zemalja živi na njegovim obalama. Delta Dunava, čijih 4.142 km² pripada Rumuniji, a preostala 764 km² Ukrajini, geološki gledano, najmlađa je zona u Evropi. Delta Dunava, proglašena biosferskim rezervatom 1990. godine i upisana kao lokalitet Uneskove svjetske baštine na Ramsarskoj konvenciji godinu…

Purported leader of neo-Nazi group sentenced to 7 years for Seattle-area threats, intimidation | The Seattle Times

The purported leader of the violent neo-Nazi group the Atomwaffen Division was sentenced to seven years in federal prison on Tuesday for conspiring to threaten Jews, Black people and journalists in Washington and two other states.

Kaleb Cole, 25, was convicted in September of five federal felonies, including conspiracy, three counts of mailing threatening communications and one count of interfering with a federally protected activity.

Cole and three other purported members of Atomwaffen — German for “atomic weapon” — were charged by federal prosecutors last year for mounting a campaign of fear and intimidation against at least one Seattle television journalist and two local activists with the Anti-Defamation League, as well as activists and journalists in Florida and Arizona.

L’histoire — Peinture chamanique

Transformations

Je crois que nous vivons un temps qui veut se débarrasser de l’histoire par la profusion des histoires. Il y a tellement d’histoires désormais et sur tous les tons, qu’il y a de brins d’herbe dans une prairie. On n’y voit que du vert et on dit voilà en gros l’histoire. Voilà comment on pense[…]

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

O que faz o mundo parecer hostil, são opiniões que nascem de pessoas que se negam a abraçar o novo. Gente que não transforma, mas enxerga tudo cor de cinza. Esse tipo de pessoa, são ditas ” pessoas sem objetivos”, sem expectativas. São limitadoras, estéreis.

É preciso se permitir, é preciso abrir caminhos que nos ajudem a chegar do outro lado. Ter inspirações diante de novas possibilidades.

É preciso jogar fora sentimentos que nos impedem de alcançar a sabedoria interior. Da mesma forma que, também é preciso lançar fora a culpa e as coisas que deram errado para ter condições de tomar sabiamente, as nossas decisões em silêncio.

É preciso perceber a beleza de ser flexível, de poder compreender o mundo a sua volta, assim como também, as verdades que nascem diante de cada aprendizado.

Busque o que é verdadeiro. Mantenha os pés no chão – e tudo aquilo que…
