El Paso says it can handle transit needs of migrants who will be allowed to cross border starting Friday – KVIA

EL PASO, Texas — City of El Paso leaders say they have readied their transportation system for migrants to avoid the problems that happened during the 2019 influx of asylum seekers.

Migrants that are currently a part of the Migrant Protection Protocol and have active asylum cases will be eligible to start crossing the border at El Paso this coming Friday.

In the migrant surge of 2019, a problem that became apparent was a lack of seats on buses. People were forced to stay in overcrowded shelters because they were unable to get on a bus to their final destination.

This year, however, the city thinks those same problems will not happen again. Part of that reason is because of the amount of people that will be crossing the border daily is very low and manageable.

Staff knuckle down as hospitals buckle under COVID | News | Jamaica Gleaner

The University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) in St Andrew has rung alarm bells and is in crisis mode as wards spill over with patients under the weight of the coronavirus outbreak.

Kevin Allen, chief executive officer of the UHWI, said the hospital was bursting at the seams as all four tents on the premises were full.

“We have agreed that we are going to reallocate and put the patients on one of the wards, so that we can make another 24 beds available to release the pressure …,” he said in a phone interview with The Gleaner while in a task force meeting on Monday evening.

Myanmar’s coup is awkward for China – The Washington Post

Beijing. “They spent considerable energy, time cultivating Aung San Suu Kyi — with some success,” Bilahari Kausikan, a former Singaporean diplomat and chairman of the Middle East Institute at the National University of Singapore, told the New York Times. “Now they have to start again with a new bunch of generals, and these generals are not just difficult for the West. They’re difficult for everyone.” Source: Myanmar’s coup is awkward for China – The Washington Post

If you know any Seniors, please help them out.
If you know any Veterans, try first with the VA as a possibility.
If you are African-American, check in with your local church, to see if the government has reached out to them. Also, check with any local Black Doctor’s group. They might be putting together events like that wonderful Black Doctor’s Consortium did in Philadelphia this past weekend.

You want to know what I felt while getting the shot?
Hope.
Like I might have a fighting chance.

And, I know in my heart, that 46 being elected mattered. It matters to know that there are people working in the Government that want to help you and don’t want to see you dead.
Elections matter.

Please double mask. Please social distance.
I see the glimmer of light…way down at the end of the tunnel. It’s a glimmer. But, it’s finally there.

What makes a friend? —

The people we choose to let into our lives leave one of the greatest impacts on our hearts. Kenzoku “眷族” is a Japanese word that loosely translates to ‘family’. However, it suggests a deeper meaning: the deepest connection of friendship. It is camaraderie, the family we choose for ourselves. The other day I was marveling over […]

Nacionalni park Kanaima, Venecuela – Canaima National Park

Angel’s Waterfall. It is 1,000 meters high (fifteen times higher than Niagara Falls), and it only takes fourteen seconds for the water to reach the bottom from the top. Angel Falls is one of the biggest attractions in Venezuela, and since 1964 it has been part of the Canaima National Park, which, with an area of ​​30,000 km2, is the sixth largest park on the planet. It is located south of the Orinoco River, on the border with Brazil and Guyana, and consists of three physiographic areas: slightly undulating lowlands from 350 m to 650 m high, the Gran Sabana plateau between 800 m and 1,500 m high and the tops of tepuja , which reach 1,000 m to 2,800 m, with Roraim as the highest peak. The Karoni River also springs in the park, which, with many of its tributaries, supplies water to the Guri Dam, which produces 60% of Venezuela’s electricity.

Jedna od prvih knjiga napisanih na temu zaštite prirodne sredine bio je roman “Izgubljeni svijet” (“The lost world”) Artura Konana Dojla. Poznatiji kao tvorac Šerloka Holmsa, ova pisac je nadahnuće za izgubljeni svijet u svojoj noveli dobio zahvaljujući zaravnjenim planinama od raznobojnog pješčara, koje se nalazi u Republici Bolivar u Venecueli, a koje lokalno stanovništvo naziva tepuj. Zapravo, Konan Dojl nikada nije ni vidio tepuj. Najvjerovatnije je samo bio impresioniran oduševljenim izvještajima prirodnjaka iz Kraljevskog društva – prvih istraživača te ogromne i daleke oblasti u Latinskoj Americi. Ta oblast je toliko prostrana da je njeno glavno obilježje otkriveno tek 1937. godine kada je Džimi Ejndžel, američki pustolov u potrazi za mitskim Eldoradom, poletio iz Paname u malom avionu i sletio na visoravan Aujantepuj. Napustio je to mjesto nekoliko sati kasnije, i to pješice, ne mogavši da pokrene svoj avion, i poslije jedanaest dana stigao u civilizaciju. Po povratku mogao je…

« Now we know where these evil fumes come from. It is the metal smoke, the epidemic smoke, and it is truly our enemy. In the past, these evil things remained buried, and our ancestors were not constantly sick the way we are today. Yet in their ignorance the white people started frenetically  tearing the minerals out of the ground to cook them in their factories … they liberate the evil vapor … it ends up making us sick. Its poison is fearsome. We do not know how to fight it. This is why we are so worried. » – excerpt from the chapter « Cannibal Gold » of Yanomami spokesman and shaman Davi Kopenawa’s book The Falling Sky
