O essencial é viver — Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Há um sopro de esperança a cada dia, Há um nascer do sol que escancara cada buraco escondido em todo limite da terra. Palavras, sons Se diluem nos quatros cantos do mundo. Cada amanhecer é novo, Como novo também é o solo fértil da esperança. Da simplicidade do acaso, Pode surgir… Um brilho no olhar […]

At a ‘certified’ palm oil plantation in Nigeria, soldiers and conflict over land

…Critics say the RSPO’s decision to certify Okomu illustrates everything that’s gone wrong with sustainability labeling for palm oil.

“A lot of community lands have been taken over. And these lands were being utilized by farmers and fisherfolk, women and men that depend on the resources of the forest for survival,” said Rita Uwaka, a researcher with Nigerian NGO Environmental Rights Action, who wrote a report based on her visits to the plantation in 2017…

6 December 1944 Japanese Paratroopers | Happy Thanksgiving!

Pacific Paratrooper

IJA paratroopers at the ready

“TRANSPORTS!!” – “JAPS!!” – “PARATROOPERS!!”

“The time was 1800 hours, 6 December 1944 and at first it sounded like a swarm of bees in the distance.  Then it became clear.  No paratrooper could mistake the drone of a formation of troop carrier aircraft.  Someone outside shouted “AIRCRAFT!!” – then many – “JAP TRANSPORTS!!” – “PARATROOPERS!!”

Japanese paratroopers

“The division staff dashed out of the mess tent looking skyward.  By now, a dozen parachutes had opened above us and everyone began firing at them.  I even emptied 2 clips from my .45 at the nearest parachutists.  Most jumped well beyond our HQ, landing in and about the San Pablo airstrip…

Minbari Mondays, And Now For A Word: Defend

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

      This  week reports an incident from Saturday, September 16th, of our year 2259 CE, sent to us from our future by Ranger Mayann, stationed on  Minbar:

      Greetings, from Tuzanor:

      This day was recorded in the anals of the Anla’Shok as one of great anguish for all of us.  Even down the years, my order recalls the pain of humiliation of Ambassador Delenn, and the pain of seeing so many lives wasted so brutally.  She spoke for the innocents, even after being played for an innocent by a brutal Human.  Your reporter, deliberately made our ambassador look badly.  Yet, she arose and defended the Narn innocents being slaughtered with courage, and with honor.  And with the astuteness we see when she goes on to lead my order.  The Centauri were indeed on the path to committing war crimes, with their mass drivers, that day.  Yet, the voice…

I just want to be someone who finds a genie And I'll wish for a purse that auto-replaces what's been removed Can you imagine how many notes there'd be with the same serial numbers? My plan was rather crude What do you want to be, honey? Michael Jackson, I…
