HAVANA TIMES – Israeli police arrested the internationally renowned feminist Palestinian academic Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian at her home in Jerusalem on Thursday on charges of incitement to violence. Shalhoub-Kevorkian, who holds both Israeli and U.S. citizenship, was suspended by Hebrew University last month after saying in an interview Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, though the university later reinstated her.

We speak with anthropologist Sarah Ihmoud, who describes Shalhoub-Kevorkian as a mentor and inspiration to her and many others. “We hold the Hebrew University of Jerusalem responsible for the arrest and detention because of its persistent and public repression of her academic freedom, which led directly to yesterday’s arrest,” says Ihmoud, who teaches at College of the Holy Cross and is co-founder of the Palestinian Feminist Collective. “We see this as yet another example of Israel attacking Palestinians wherever they are, whoever they are. It underscores that no Palestinian is safe under Israel’s racist apartheid rule…”

– Que felicidade a minha!

 

Eu, chamo de felicidade

Poder abraçar a vida,

Olhando ela de frente,

Sem ranço,

Sem o fruto azedo da amargura, cá dentro,

Sem a aspereza do engano

ou de danos maiores, causados pela má sorte.

 

Felicidade é poder ostentar esse status

Após o alto preço,

Que pagamos por alguns excessos.

É muito bom,

Levantar os olhos ao cume…

E sentir a sensação de paz e alegria,

Porque a vida é construída todo dia

No entendimento que se alcança…

Mesmo em meio as muitas dificuldades

O peito arde em brasa!

É isso que não nos deixa morrer:

– É a esperança!

Ela é quem tempera a vida em meio a tirania das desgraças vividas e faladas.

Ainda que estejamos submersos na crueldade tenebrosa

Daqueles que suspiram calados,

Pela nossa ruína.

Eis, que vem a esperança

Amparando – nos com um sorriso largo,

Dentes nevados

Olhos belos

e alma pura, feito coração de criança.

 

Que felicidade!

A hack that caused a small Texas town’s water system to overflow in January has been linked to a shadowy Russian hacktivist group, the latest case of a U.S. public utility becoming a target of foreign cyberattacks.

The attack was one of three on small towns in the rural Texas. Local officials said the public was not put in any danger and the attempts were reported to federal authorities.

“There were 37,000 attempts in four days to log into our firewall,” said Mike Cypert, city manager of Hale Center, which is home to about 2,000 residents. The attempted hack failed as the city “unplugged” the system and operated it manually, he added.

Estonian artist Dolores Hoffmann nurses a hot cup of tea in front of a crackling log fire. The walls of her studio, in a low-ceilinged medieval building in central Tallinn, are covered in vibrant artworks and sketches produced and accumulated over her decades-long career. Now 86 years old, Hoffmann broke onto the Soviet Union’s art scene in the 1960s and would become best known for her work with brightly colored stained glass. But the picture she paints of her childhood is bleak.

Il nome del trono veniva scelto al momento dell’incoronazione e dava il messaggio che il Faraone avrebbe regnato sul giunco e sull’ape quindi sull’Alto e sul Basso Egitto. Vicino al cartiglio che racchiudeva il nome prescelto venivano realizzati due glifi che rappresentavano appunto il simbolo dell’Alto Egitto, cioè un giunco in egiziano “nesut” e del Basso Egitto cioè un’ape in egiziano “bity” e per questo il nome del trono era detto il nesut-bity .

Il nesut-bity divenne comune solo con la fine della II dinastia e a partire dal Primo periodo intermedio tendeva anche a sostituire il nome di Horo nell’identificazione del sovrano.

Here now 
Now gone 
Like the light 
Gone out of your eyes 

at my mind’s edge 
your absence becomes 
a lost memory

हमने पाल रखे हैं

उम्मीदों को

हाथी की तरह…

पर पूंछ भी कब

निकल जाती है,

एहसास ही नहीं होता…

🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

We nurse 

our expectations 

like tending to an elephant, 

but we’re oblivious 

when even its tail 

slips away unnoticed…
