“This type of barbaric behavior brought back horrible memories and images of the unleashing of dogs on civil (rights) activists that occurred in the South during the 1960’s,” Watson said in a statement, according to KRDO. “The Circleville Police department deserves admonishment for this type of behavior. Quite frankly, the Columbus NAACP is ashamed of the officer’s behavior.” Source: Police K9 attacks unarmed Black man after semi chase in Ohio – UPI.com

Seaweed farmers in eastern Indonesia struggle in a changing climate

  • Seaweed farmers in Indonesia are losing out on revenue from their harvests as a result of erratic weather patterns and warming waters — signs of climate change impacts.
  • The warming seas encourage the growth of a bacteria that attacks the commercially valuable Eucheuma cottonii species of seaweed.
  • To avoid this, farmers are harvesting their crops earlier, before the seaweed grows to the optimal size, giving them a smaller yield and lower revenue at the market.
  • The farmers have devised some workarounds to adapt to the situation, but say these solutions can’t be sustained in the face of a changing climate.

NOS HACE FALTA TANTA TERNURA

NOS HACE FALTA TANTA TERNURA.

Nos hace falta esa ternura callejera
que no sabe de tiempos y espacios,
esa sonrisa juguetona e incondicional
que no sabe de preferencias,

Nos hace falta su amor,
su compañía desinteresada,
esa libertad de buen humor
donde el invierno y el verano

Nos hace falta su lealtad,
sus ojos de niño todo el tiempo,

y su bondad de ser humano

Nos hace falta su carisma,
su corazón y su presencia
para no perdernos… solos.

WE NEED SO MUCH TENDERNESS.

We need that street tenderness
that knows no time or space,
that playful and unconditional smile
that knows no preferences,
and gives itself equally to everyone.

We need her love,
his disinterested company,
that freedom of good humor
where winter and summer

पात्र / Pot

Kaushal Kishore

उसका पात्र खाली था,
लोगों को लगा
वह भीख मांग रहा है,
उन्होंने उसके पात्र को भर दिया,
वह खाली करता रहा अपना पात्र
लोगों में बांटते हुए,
और कुछ दूसरे लोग
उसे फिर से भरते रहें,
न उसका पात्र खाली हुआ
और न ही लोगों के हाथ…

His pot was empty,
people thought
he was begging,
they filled his pot,
he kept emptying his pot
by distributing among people,
and some other people
kept refilling it,
neither his pot got empty,
nor the hands of the people…
