Fifth migrant dies at Poland-Belarus border as UN calls for more protection | Euronews

Thousands of migrants, mostly from the Middle East, have crossed or attempted to cross the EU border from Belarus into Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland in recent months.

The EU has accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of encouraging migrants to illegally cross the borders in retaliation against Brussels sanctions on Minsk.

Poland has sent thousands of soldiers to the 400-kilometre-long border and built a long section of barbed wire fence, while also introducing a local state of emergency.

On Monday, border guards said they had recorded 3,500 successful and unsuccessful border crossings in August, with around 5,000 more attempts in September alone.

China declares all crypto-currency transactions illegal – BBC News (Me: !!!!!)

“Virtual currency-related business activities are illegal financial activities,” the People’s Bank of China said, warning it “seriously endangers the safety of people’s assets”.

China is one of the world’s largest crypto-currency markets.

Fluctuations there often impact the global price of crypto-currencies.

The price of Bitcoin fell by more than $2,000 (£1,460) in the wake of the Chinese announcement.

It is the latest in China’s national crackdown on what it sees as a volatile, speculative investment at best – and a way to launder money at worst.

Avian Flu Diary: CDC Statement On ACIP Recommendations For Pfizer COVID Booster Shots

Today, CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, M.D., M.P.H., endorsed the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) recommendation for a booster shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in certain populations and also recommended a booster dose for those in high risk occupational and institutional settings. The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) authorization and CDC’s guidance for use are important steps forward as we work to stay ahead of the virus and keep Americans safe.

This updated interim guidance from CDC allows for millions of Americans who are at highest risk for COVID-19 to receive a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster shot to help increase their protection. Source: Avian Flu Diary: CDC Statement On ACIP Recommendations For Pfizer COVID Booster Shots

A call for helping hands

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

It is crucial that we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us today, and to come and work together, for all of us, right?  

I have a request to make:

I believe that planning ahead is a good idea, so:

The rough draft I am posting in sections each Wondering Wednesday,  hopes  to build up a following of interested people, whom I hope will both share the idea of this vision, and eventually also help to share the work, as this project will obviously be inter-generational. I’ve tried to explain the entire idea in the post for the Preface to this book, which several readers found helpful in clarifying my idea.  I am  starting to look for others, hopefully younger than I am, who wish to take up the baton.

So, any sort of way that anyone would like to participate is great, from

A preciosidade da vida reside no interior de cada pessoa

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Quando olhamos as pessoas pelo o que elas “vendem externamente” digo essa ” primeira capa”, se considera só aquilo que os olhos alcançam no primeiro momento. Talvez, pelo encanto das descobertas, deixamos ao encargo da vida, que ela transforme o supérfluo em algo precioso. Ledo engano! A displicência é responsabilidade nossa, não da vida, não do acaso, do momento ou coisa parecida. Um dos maiores defeitos do ser humano, é esse ” desejar” sem querer fazer esforço ou usar a consciência para alcançar um grau máximo de compreensão sobre o que precisa melhorar em si, na vida pessoal, planos, e na vida profissional.

Não é exagero dizer que muitas vezes as pessoas não evoluem pela simples falta de consciência. Sem dúvida, só ela ( consciência) nos faz aprimorada tudo aquilo que precisa ser alcançado. Afinal, a consciência é algo que, assim como, as coisas valiosas são conquistadas; elas não nascem…

¡El genocidio de los pueblos indígenas en América del Norte ANTES está sucediendo en América del Sur AHORA!

Barbara Crane Navarro

«Quieren que abandonemos otra parte de nuestra tierra tribal. Esta no es la primera ni la última vez.

Ellos reclaman a esta madre nuestra, la Tierra, para su propio uso, y encerran a sus vecinos lejos de ella, y la degradan con sus edificios y su basura.

El hombre blanco sabe hacer de todo, pero no sabe distribuirlo… el amor por los bienes es una enfermedad en ellos.»

«Las empresas mineras de oro, forestales y agroindustriales han decidido arrasar nuestras tierras con enormes máquinas.

El bosque está sangrando, lo puedo sentir en mi corazón. Derraman más veneno que oro sobre la tierra. Son como muertos vivientes, cubiertos de barro dorado.

Lo que hagas cambiará el mundo entero y destruirá nuestro hogar, y también destruirá tu hogar.

Les pedimos que dejen de…
