Mississippi lawmakers stop effort to take over Jackson water | AP News
But, the Republican-controlled state Legislature is still considering proposals to appoint rather than elect some judges and to expand the territory of a state-run police department inside Jackson, which is governed by Democrats.
Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba has sharply criticized white lawmakers’ attempts to assert state control in Jackson, which has the highest percentage of Black residents of any major U.S. city.
The Jackson water system has been struggling for years and nearly collapsed in August and September, leaving most people in the city of 150,000 without running water to drink, bathe, wash dishes or flush toilets. Parts of the city lost water again during a cold snap in December.
In November, the federal government appointed Ted Henifin, an experienced administrator from Virginia, to oversee Jackson’s water system. The federal government also has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars for Jackson water improvements.

The Serbian who inspired US Capitol rioters, then emigrated to Texas – BBC News
On a fringe social media website, Ms Jovanovic shared several memes which appear to call directly for violence. One showed a screenshot from a film depicting a line of dead bodies on pikes. “Impeaching Democrats is out,” the caption reads. “Impaling Democrats is in!” She shared a similar meme depicting dozens of corpses and the caption “WHAT OUR BORDER SHOULD LOOK LIKE”. On Twitter, she has called for the execution of Anthony Fauci and other American officials involved in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic.

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
Yes, I do, and in India, all names have a meeting. Of course, the last name is your family name which signifies what your root is and what your ancestor has been doing for their livelihood.
My middle name is Shekhar and it has two key meanings. 1 Lord Shiva and 2. Crown. I believe for a wider group let’s go with no 2.
The first name is unique for each of us in the family and each has a meaning.
That’s my answer to today’s prompt.

“Warum benötigen wir Mitgefühl? Die Erfahrung lehrt uns, dass es uns innere Kraft verleiht. Auch kommt es anderen zugute, und wenn es uns daran mangelt, stehen wir vor vielen unnötigen Problemen. Um dies zu verstehen, müssen wir eine holistische Sehensweise entwickeln, die uns ein erweitertes Bild vermittelt, das heisst wir müssen unsere Intelligenz anwenden.”
– Seine Heiligkeit der 14. Dalai Lama

“Why do we need compassion? Experience tells us that it brings inner strength. It also benefits others and we face many unnecessary problems when we lack it. To understand this we must develop a holistic way of seeing the bigger picture, which means we must use our intelligence.”

Ich wünsche euch allen einen angenehmen Sonntag!

Eine argentinisch-deutsche Freundschaft
Es ist ein Glücksfall, wenn man Menschen begegnet, die zu besonderen Freunden werden und die einen das ganze Leben lang begleiten. Solch einen Menschen habe ich vor vielen Jahrzehnten in Buenos Aires kennengelernt. Es ist meine Freundin Angela, die meinem Leben in vielerlei Hinsicht eine positive Wende gegeben hat, als ich eine Zeitlang in Argentinien verbrachte. Obwohl wir Tausende von Kilometern entfernt wohnen und wir uns nur selten sehen, gehört sie zu den Personen, die mir besonders nahe stehen, und das bereits seit vielen Jahrzehnten. Es ist eine unverbrüchliche Freundschaft, die durch Großzügigkeit, Hilfsbereitschaft, Zuverlässigkeit und Loyalität gekennzeichnet.

Freedom
Freedom comes with choices, the right to live as we want to without harming anyone else. Food, shelter, clothes, medical coverage, medicine, education and jobs with fair wages are essential. If there are restrictions because of colour, creed, or race, how can we say we are free.
