Marii Freire – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Não se apresse em dá o veredito final, ao que você não conhece. A ignorância é ousada, mas quando você não se atenta aos fatos, é incapaz de perceber que os atalhos, geram muitos danos. Às vezes, até maior do que aquele que você julga.

Bom dia!🎯

Israel has yet to provide evidence of Unrwa staff terrorist links, Colonna report says | Israel | The Guardian

Israel has yet to provide supporting evidence of its claims that employees of the UN relief agency Unrwa are members of terrorist organisations, an independent review led by the former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna has said.

The Colonna report, which was commissioned by the UN in the wake of Israeli allegations, found that Unrwa had regularly supplied Israel with lists of its employees for vetting, and that “the Israeli government has not informed Unrwa of any concerns relating to any Unrwa staff based on these staff lists since 2011”…

What more can you do for climate change? – Darcy Hitchcock

The antidote for climate despair is action. This podcast lays out things you can do at home and also things you can do to change the system. It’s not an either or. We all need to be doing both.

Individual actions have a larger impact than you know. Jon Foley with Project Drawdown said, “I think a lot of people are surprised that your personal actions do matter a lot, not just in terms of the material impact of how much carbon was actually prevented from going in the atmosphere, but also that it speaks volumes to other people culturally, economically, politically, socially, in so many ways. Every day that we show that we’re doing a climate solution by maybe eating differently, by retrofitting our house or changing our cars or how we get around, we’re sending signals to the world around us every single day. We’re all kind of micro influencers.”

Now is better than new. Jon Foley with Project Drawdown said, “Now is better than new. And time always is more important than tech because time is the most important variable when it comes to solving climate change.” Climate change is a cumulative problem. It’s a function of all the greenhouse gases we’ve added to the atmosphere over hundreds of years. So reducing your emissions today will have a greater impact than waiting for a more perfect/cheaper/convenient technology five years from now. “Every year we wait, waiting for a technological breakthrough, waiting for the silver bullet, the shiny tech object that will save us all, we lose a year of effectiveness. In fact, every year we wait for a climate solution, you can discount its effectiveness on stopping climate change by about 7%.”

Angkor, Cambodia – Angkor, Kambodža – Myrela

Riječ Angkor, koja u zapadnom svijetu evocira slike grandioznih hramova, bujnih i zlokobnih šuma i neriješene arheološke misterije, označava oblast u Kambodži u kojoj se više od petsto godina nalazilo političko središte kmerskog carstva. Smještena u prostranom basenu, s juga omeđenom velikim jezerom Tonle Sap, a sa sjevera planinama Kulen, oblast Angkora nalazi se 328 kilometara sjeverno od Pnom Pena, današnje prijestonice. Razdoblje Angkora (802-1432), najslavniji dio kmerske istorije, počinje ritualnom ceremonijom dodjeljivanja titule devaradže (nebeskog kralja) Džajavarmanu I (802-850), a završava se premještanjem prijestonice prvo u Basan, na istočnoj obali rijeke Mekong, zatim u Pnom Pen, u južnoj Kambodži. Poslije perioda zatočeništva na kraljevskom dvoru u Indoneziji, budući kralj Džajavarman vratio se 790. godine u Kambodžu, gdje je učvrstio svoju vlast nizom vojnih pohoda. Za prijestonicu prvo je izabrao grad Indrapura, ali početkom IX vijeka premjestio ju je u oblast planine Kulen, četrdeset kilometara sjeveroistočno od Angkor Toma (tom inače znači zidinama opasan grad). Kralj Džajavarman je tu sebe proglasio devaradžom i tako uveo novi vjerski obred zasnovan na kultu „nebeskog kralja“…
