New Dawn in Afghanistan shadowed by uncertainty.

“Why did the Taliban talk about general amnesty, women rights, when none of the appointed ministers are women or any of the ministers from the ousted Ashraf Ghani administration or Hamid Karzai administration?

What changes will this new regime bring in Afghanistan, Asia and The World? Only time will tell. However, after judging the new appointees one thing is certain that the UN, EU or the West don’t hold any ground in the decision making process of the new Taliban regime.”

    Nacionalni park Everglejds, Sjedinjene države – Everglades National Park, United States

    Myrela

    Amerikanci s pravom tvrde da su bili pioniri u mjerama zaštite svjetske prirodne baštine, ali savjest nacije nije u potpunosti čista. Dok je osnivanjem nacionalnih parkova Veliki kanjon i Jelouston, Amerika stvorila mit o divljini, podjednako značajna oblast u Južnoj Floridi nije pobudila ni najmanji interes. Everglejds je, mora se priznati, neprijatan kraj. Vrela, vlažna klima onoga što, čini se, nije ništa više od močvare, gdje sve vrvi od komaraca i aligatora, nije naročito privlačna, ali Pa Hej Oki (“Rijeka trave”, kako su je Indijanci Seminole zvali), koja teče neosjetnom brzinom u dužini od dvjesta kilometara od jezera Okičobi do Floridskog zaliva i dostiže širinu od osamdeset kilometara, jedini je tropski sistem u Sjevernoj Americi. I, paradoksalno, priznavanje njegove vrijednosti podudaralo se s njegovim nezaustavljivim propadanjem.

    Kada je predsjednik Hari Truman 1947. godine osnovao Nacionalni park Everglejds, u Južnoj Floridi je živjelo samo 500.000 stanovnika. Kada su državne vlasti 1985…

    Short story regarding importance of ethics and values in life.

    LIFESTYLE AND INSPIRATION

    ₹7 !

    The Nobel Laureate Prof. C. V. Raman after retirement wished to open a Research Institute in Bangalore.

    So he gave an advertisement in the newspapers for recruiting three physicists.

    Lots of eager Scientists applied thinking that even if they were not selected, they would at least get an opportunity to meet the Nobel Laureate.

    In the preliminary selection, five candidates were selected and the final interview was to be taken by Prof. C V Raman himself.

    Three were selected out of the five.

    Next day Prof. Raman was taking a walk and found one young man waiting to meet him.

    He realized that it was the same man who was not selected.

    The Prof. asked him what was the problem and he replied that there was no problem at all, but after finishing the interview the office had paid him ₹7 extra than his claim and he wanted…

    Remember always put yourself first. Put your family first. Put your mental health first.

    • Feel free to block anyone, on any social media platforms. Even friends and family! I recently started to block accounts on Twitter that they and I are on the same page as. They were making rules for what people could tweet, quote and screenshot their tweets on. I was just sitting there thinking to myself “I am not going through every single twitter account to see what individual rules are”. If you don’t want to tweet something for people to see, you can make your profile protected. You can do all sorts of things…

    How Professors Are Handling Unmasked Students Amid Delta – The New York Times

    Irwin Bernstein, an 88-year-old psychology professor, said the University of Georgia had lured him out of retirement this fall. But when he posted a “No mask, No class” sign in his classroom, his department head told him to take it down “since I was in violation of the governor’s order.”

    At his next class, a student resisted wearing a mask, saying it was uncomfortable, he recalled. He announced that he was retiring — again — and walked out of class.

    Femmes autochtones, Femmes originales : Reboiser les esprits pour la guérison de la Terre

    Du 7 au 11 septembre, plusieurs milliers de femmes de 150 nations indigènes se sont rassemblées pour marcher ensemble à Brasilia en faveur des droits qui leur sont garantis dans la Constitution du Brésil et contre la limite du «cadre temporel» et d’autres politiques anti-indigènes du président Bolsonaro.

    «Nous cherchons à garantir nos territoires pour les générations présentes et futures, défendre l’environnement, ce bien commun qui garantit nos modes de vie en tant que partie de l’humanité.

    En plus d’être une ressource physique qui nous soutient, elle abrite également les esprits des forêts, des animaux et des eaux et de la vie dans son ensemble – la source de notre savoir ancestral.

    Nous déclarons que les femmes autochtones seront en première ligne pour enterrer une fois pour toutes la ‘cadre temporel’, lors de la 2e marche…
