Trump Inquiry Fueled in Part by Concern Over Intelligence Sources – The New York Times
But documents retrieved from him in January included some marked “HCS,” for Human Intelligence Control System. Such documents have material that could possibly identify C.I.A. informants, meaning a general, sweeping declassification of them would have been, at best, misguided.
“HCS information is tightly controlled because disclosure could jeopardize the life of the human source,” said John B. Bellinger III, a former legal adviser to the National Security Council in the George W. Bush administration. “It would be reckless to declassify an HCS document without checking with the agency that collected the information to ensure that there would be no damage if the information were disclosed.”
C.I.A. espionage operations inside numerous hostile countries have been compromised in recent years when the governments of those countries have arrested, jailed and even killed the agency’s sources.
Last year, a top-secret memo sent to every C.I.A. station around the world warned about troubling numbers of informants being captured or killed, a stark reminder of how important human source networks are to the basic functions of the spy agency.
Sky Fire And Wildflower — Weekend Stories by Trishikh

Ein bisschen Garten … A wee bit about the garden
Ich habe dieses Jahr zum ersten Mal Gladiolen gehabt. Ich will ja eigentlich nicht, weil wir hier immer so starken Wind haben. Aber die Tüte mit 24 Stück (gemischte Farben) war im Sonderangebot … 😉 … Ich habe sie dann in drei Töpfe zu 7, 7 und 10 gepflanzt. Von den 24 haben 21 geblüht bzw. blühen noch. Wir hatten den Genuss den ganzen August über, weil immer nur jeweils 1-2 per Topf geblüht haben. Das war doch nett von den Gladiolen. Farbmässig waren es 1 Rote, 6 Rosa, 13 Lila (3 verschiedene) und als letztes jetzt eine ganz dunkel Rote; die Knospen sehen schwarz aus.

Igualdade Feminina
26 de agosto- Dia Internacional da Igualdade Feminina. A data lembra dentre outras coisas, a luta das mulheres pela equidade de gênero.
Por que lutar por equidade?
É preciso lutar pelo óbvio: Homens e mulheres têm os mesmos direitos e oportunidades. Ora, peguemos como exemplo, o caso da mulher. Veja, ela trabalha fora, cuida da casa, dos filhos, marido, ou seja exerce tripla função e muitas vezes esse esforço todo, não é reconhecido. O trabalho doméstico é quase invisível por todos. Isso sem falar que é extremamente cansativo. Mas a gente sabe que essa história é de longa data, e mesmo hoje, apesar dos muitos avanços, a mulher ainda tem que continuar a sua luta, pois essa é incessante.
É sabido que hoje, a mulher ocupa vários espaços na sociedade, mas nem sempre foi assim. Como dito, a mulher sempre foi um ser visto atreladado ao lar, alguém representatividade, sem…
