British-born man who has never left UK faces deportation | Immigration and asylum | The Guardian

Dmitry Lima was born in Lambeth, in south London, does not speak Portuguese and has never travelled abroad but he was given a deportation order by the Home Office after serving a prison sentence for drugs offences and for carrying a Taser.

Lima, who had no previous convictions, is appealing against the deportation decision on the grounds that he is British and had not previously applied for a UK passport as he could not afford to pay the fees. “I’m British and I have never left the country – I just don’t understand,” he said.

Orcas gather off Southern California. Bloody, awe-inspiring spectacle shows why – Los Angeles Times

An orca is photographed near Palos Verdes Peninsula on Dec. 11. It's believed they're native to Mexico and Central America. “We’re seeing the orcas because they’re becoming aware of the super pods and mega pods of dolphins that range from 2,000 to 4,000, and they’re easier to hunt than other whales,” Askari said.

Poeta – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Ao velho poeta, restam alguns versos misturado há anos de seu ofício para fazer da saudade, um poema de amor. Este evocando algumas lembranças, deixa- se dominar por recordações brandas e a constância genuína do pecado – O cheiro ou o sorriso de alguma rapariga que dança no teatro de sua memória. Estas, lembranças constantes da vida de um homem. Ele se volta ao deleite das horas amargas e doces sempre degustando algum vinho barato. Mas, apreciando o silêncio sem nada dizer; sobretudo, separando aquilo que o diferencia de um homem louco, do sóbrio. Aventuras não lhe falta mediante os olhos enfiados nas sílabas e letras. Um poeta sabe que resistir a verdade de seu coração é o mesmo que viver a abstinência de vagas lembranças. Portanto, o que lhe é valioso é o excessivo ato de produzir.
