B.C. First Nation organizes 3-day healing walk in wake of Kamloops residential school discovery | CBC News

Hundreds of people have embarked on a trek along the South Thompson River from Kamloops to B.C.’s Shuswap, with the goal of reclaiming the spirits lost to the city’s former residential school.

On Friday morning, participants gathered at Pioneer Park in downtown Kamloops for the opening ceremony to kickstart Walking Our Spirits Home — a three-day walk organized by the Adams Lake Indian Band to hike the 64 kilometres to Chase, B.C.

Following the ceremony, Band Kukpi7 (Chief) Cliff Arnouse, other First Nation leaders and scores of walkers crossed the Red Bridge from the park to the other side of the river, then walked about four kilometres to the site of the former residential school, where, two weeks ago, preliminary findings from ground penetrating radar uncovered the remains of up to 215 children.

Krippe in Old Goa, Indien

Vivaldi translation of introduction: Nativity scene in Old Goa, India
When we visited the architectural ensembles of Velha Goa churches and monasteries in India in 2019, we knew, that the remarkable former Jesuit church Basílica do Bom Jesús is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but we were not aware of it, that the monastery, that is attached to the church, has a remarkable courtyard with a special crib.

Senioren um die Welt

Als wir im Jahr 2019 die architektonischen Ensembles der Kirchen und Klöster von Velha Goa in Indien besuchten, wussten wir zwar, dass die sehenswerte ehemalige Jesuitenkirche Basílica do Bom Jesús Teil der UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe-Stätten ist, uns war aber nicht bekannt, dass das Kloster, das der Kirche angegliedert ist, über einen bemerkenswerten  Innenhof mit einer besonderen Krippe verfügt.

Sedanini alla “Seitanese”

InTheNameOfSeitan

Vi presento una rivisitazione in chiave vegana di una delle tipiche ricette di stampo partenopeo: la Genovese.

Il suo nome non è indicativo del luogo di provenienza infatti nella cucina ligure non vi è traccia di questa pietanza.

C’è da dire però che fonti storiche fanno risalire la ricetta ad alcuni marinai genovesi per l’appunto che, nel XVIII secolo, sbarcavano a Napoli ed erano soliti cucinare con abbondante cipolla un sugo a base di carne (ahimè) che successivamente si abbinava alla pasta.

Nel mio blog è stata ribattezzata “Seitanese” per non confonderla con l’originale e per non suscitare l’ira funesta dei puristi della ricetta😜 che vanno su tutte le furie quando vedono la versione cruelty-free di un piatto tradizionale (poi la assaggiano e diventano ancora più furibondi perché in quanto a sapori, se sapientemente preparato, non ha nulla da invidiare all’originale😉👌).

Ingredienti (per 2 persone):

Chinese researchers find batch of new coronaviruses in bats – CNN

Chinese researchers said Thursday they had found a batch of new coronaviruses in bats including one that may be the second-closest yet, genetically, to the Covid-19 virus.

According to the researchers, their discoveries in a single, small region of Yunnan province, southwestern China show just how many coronaviruses there are in bats and how many have the potential to spread to people.
Weifeng Shi of the University of Shandong and colleagues collected samples from small, forest-dwelling bats between May, 2019 and November, 2020. They tested urine and feces as well as taking swabs from the bats’ mouths.
Uncovering the origins of the virus that sparked a pandemic

“In total, we assembled 24 novel coronavirus genomes from different bat species, including four SARS-CoV-2 like coronaviruses,” the researchers wrote in a report published in the journal Cell.

I don’t want to be your meal 😔

AN INTROVERT EMPATH🙏

Choose compassion over cruelty ❣

While i was on a stroll at the plant graden , i found a hen roaming freely without any fear . Otherwise what I usually observe is animals living in a crap where they are locked up . Isn’t it the most inhuman act of our’s where basic freedom of species are taken away. Just because they are voiceless creatures , we have started considering ourselves so superior that we disregarded the fact of pain and suffering when it comes to animals . Let us weave together and leave animals off our plate 🙏.
