#LanguageLearning for Building Modified Descriptions of A Kinder World?
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
With only one type of adverb ending for every word in this language, language learning and community building around the world is faster and easier (the word in red cut off just at the extreme right is zarflar, or adverbs, in Turkish):
Every adverb ends in the letter “e” in Esperanto.
The only thing an English speaker has to do is think “-ly” when you see “-e”. Simple ! And a great way to help others learn a language that can help the world become more plural, and fewer languages will go extinct, since everyone will learn the simple common language, and continue to learn other languages for cultural and friendship related reasons, but not out of pure economic necessity.
Given the interest readers have expressed over the years, I thought I might share some of my newest language learning journey here on my blog. Once…

Ur, ancient Mesopotamia – Ur, drevna Mesopotamija
Lokalitet Tel el Mukajar nalazi se petnaestak kilometara zapadno od današnjeg toka Eufrata. To je mjesto koje je Dž. E. Tejlor, britanski konzul u Basri koga je Britanski muzej poslao da obavi arheološka iskopavanja u južnoj Mesopotamiji, identifikovao 1854. godine kao Ur. Njegovo otkriće pločica s klinastim pismom donijelo nam je saznanja o istorijskim događajima i imenu grada koji su naučnici nazvali po biblijskom “Uru Haldejskom”. Poslije Tejlorovog početnog otkrića, lokalitet nije istraživan sve do kraja XIX vijeka, kada je misija Univerziteta iz Pensilvanije počela iskopavanja čiji rezultati nikada nisu objavljeni. Poslije Prvog svjetskog rata, R. Kempbel Tompson započeo je iskopavanje Ura, što je ohrabrilo Britanski muzej da obnovi svoje istraživanje tog drevnog mjesta i tamo uputi misiju koju je najprije vodio L. King, a zatim H. R. Hol. Zbog nedostatka sredstava, iskopavanja su ponovo obustavljena 1922. godine, kada je Muzej Univerziteta iz Pensilvanije predložio osnivanje zajedničke arheološke misije, predvođene…

Pessoas difíceis exigem uma maneira diferente de lidar
Pessoas difíceis, são indivíduos com temperamento forte, e exigem uma maneira diferente de lidar com elas. Veja, eu não estou dizendo que você não as consegue ” manipular”, não é isso. Eu estou falando de pessoas que tem como característica principal, “o temperamento forte”. Gente que não cede em nada. Sabe aquele tipo de pessoa que só quer as coisas do seu jeito? Que por mais que você tente, seja paciente, der crédito, nada funciona? É desse tipo de gente que falo. Eu sei que você vai dizer ” É impossível manter um diálogo sadio com elas, porque os únicos argumentos que aceitam são os seus”. De fato. E digo mais: é desafiador você conseguir se relacionar bem com gente que não negocia, com quem não muda de jeito nenhum. Ora, imagine, você não conseguir algo que, a priori, é importante pra você, porque o outro não enxerga a sua…

Tennessee: GOP Expels 2 of 3 Democrats Who Spoke for Gun Control Without ”Permission” | Diane Ravitch’s blog
Jones, Johnson and Pearson are facing expulsion resolutions for allegedly violating the chamber’s rules of decorum by participating in a gun control protest at the state Capitol last week. The demonstration came in the wake of the deadly Covenant School shooting in Nashville on March 27, where a former student fatally shot three children and three adults, police have said.
Republican leaders said that by siding with the large crowd of peaceful parents and students the three legislators had encouraged an “insurrection,” and some (the House Speaker) said it was even worse than the January 6 events when thousands of people broke into the Capitol and sent members of Congress hiding for their lives.
