A Long Walk To Freedom – Scribbled Fancies
Maybe people go for walks because they have been recommended by doctors and health experts but I love going to walks because my lungs inhale out all the negative vibes and get filled in with positive energy hence charging me up for the day. I just fail to understand how some people can be sleepyheads and miss this glorious scene that nature offers in the wee hours of the morning. Source: A Long Walk To Freedom – Scribbled Fancies
Ordnance – L-4 Grasshopper in the Pacific
The “L’series liaison aircraft in US army service were often known as “grasshoppers.” These aircraft served with artillery and outfits spotting targets and giving commanders real time information on enemy positions. They also served in Liaison Squadrons, such as the 25th Liaison Squadron which earned fame in the Pacific Theater with their “Guinea Short Lines” aircraft.
L-4 Grasshopper, Piper Cub
Primarily to serve at elimination training bases in World War II the Navy acquired 230 Piper NE-1s , basically similar to the Army L-4s with Continental 0-170 engines. Twenty NE-2s were similar.
As war spread around the world at the beginning of the 1940s, the U.S. military, dominated by old soldiers who expected to fight the next war exactly as they fought the last one, had to be convinced that the requirements for certain weapons needed to be redefined. An example was the Army’s observation airplanes, latter-day versions…

We naa ease up! On violence against women and children.
As a 40 year plus journalist, I can assure you this is not just an issue in Jamaica. In all the west, many issues are gang reported for 9-14 days and then they fade from view in the news. If people really want to press the issue home so government acts – they need to schedule a headline grabbing event every 9-14 days. In addition, schedule an event on Sunday late afternoon to be sure you get coverage on Monday morning or in 5th weeks of some months – as nothing is scheduled in those weeks.
There is something we call a “nine day wonder” in Jamaica. It may be a common phenomenon elsewhere, too. A controversial and pressing matter arises (often a manifestation of a frequently recurring issue that has never been properly addressed – such as this one) and there is a furore on social media, with traditional media jumping on the bandwagon. After approximately nine days (or sometimes sooner) it has faded. The sense of urgency has abated, the fever has receded. We can go on with life as usual. In this case, all the right heartfelt statements were made by Government representatives, and subsequently there was a pause – which is becoming an extended pause.
This press release is scattered with the word “urgent.” The signatories are determined to keep this issue on the front burner. And this issue is not to be ignored or put on a shelf.
No nine day…

YouTube begins deleting hyperlinks to Navalny’s ‘SmartVote’ initiative and suspending channels that promote the project — Meduza (Me: YouTube caving to Russian censorship and false imprisonment of Navalny! if this continues… Good bye YouTube.)
On Thursday, the media outlet Sota Vision reported that YouTube removed its SmartVote hyperlink from a video streamed in August 2019 during opposition protests in Moscow. According to the notification received from YouTube’s administrators, the hyperlink violated the video-hosting service’s community rules on “spam, deceptive practices, and scam policies.” If Sota Vision commits another such infraction, it will lose the ability to upload videos and stream content for a week.
Sota Vision says YouTube acted in response to a complaint filed by Roskomnadzor (RKN), Russia’s federal censor.

Can’t Win Honestly? Then Cheat!
According to Patricia Brigham, president of the League of Women Voters of Florida …
“The legislation has a deliberate and disproportionate impact on elderly voters, voters with disabilities, students and communities of color. It’s a despicable attempt by a one party ruled legislature to choose who can vote in our state and who cannot. It’s undemocratic, unconstitutional, and un-American.”
Do you remember when you were in school and each morning you had to stand and recite that ‘pledge of allegiance’ to the flag? Being the rebel I am and have always been, I stopped doing that by about 2nd grade, and no matter what they threatened me with, I refused to stand or say the words that even back then rang false. I followed the example of Colin Kaepernick, before he was even born! One line in that pledge calls the United States “one nation, indivisible …”. Apparently, they were wrong. I think they better be re-thinking that one and calling it “one nation, deeply divided”.
Within minutes of DeSantis signing the bill into law, lawsuits were filed. The League of Women Voters of Florida joined the Black Voters Matter Fund, the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans, and others in assailing the new law in a federal lawsuit filed minutes after the signing. A separate lawsuit by the NAACP and Common Cause alleges that the new law makes it more difficult for people who are Black, Latino or disabled to vote.
My hope is that the courts will strike down all these restrictive measures too many states are taking to try to disenfranchise us, to shove their will down our throats, but sadly I’m not as confident of that as I once was.
It’s a sad statement when one of the two political parties is so certain they cannot win in a fair and honest election that rather than change their ways, they do everything in their power (and some things that really are not in their legitimate power) to ensure half the people in the nation will not be able to cast a ballot in upcoming elections. It is the equivalent of a child sneaking a cookie before supper, for he knows if he asks, he will be told “No, not until after supper.” Only with much more serious and far-reaching consequences.
Today, Florida Governor and 2024 presidential hopeful, Ron DeSantis signed into law an extremely restrictive voter suppression law that he claims will place guardrails against fraud, even as he acknowledged there were no serious signs of voting irregularities last November. But, DeSantis and the entirety of the Republican Party feel…

COVID-19 Worries in Vietnam as Hospital Spawns New Round of Cases — Radio Free Asia
Vietnamese health experts said the carriers could have been infected at the quarantine facilities in hotels where they stayed, or they could have contracted the virus abroad and have had an incubation period of more than 14 days, or they could have become infected after leaving the centers, according to the publication.
But they acknowledged that errors in the testing process with the poor handling of samples, collection of unqualified samples, or errors with the testing equipment could have resulted in the negative results.
The experts also recommended that hotels in particular put in place stricter isolation measures to prevent infections.
The Health Ministry said that the supervision of positive cases after 14 days of mandatory quarantine recently had been loosened. But on Tuesday, the ministry sent an urgent notice to all Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention nationwide to hold people who had completed their 14-day isolation periods and had tested negative twice.
The following day, the Health Ministry announced that mandatory 21-day quarantine periods would go into effect the same day for people entering Vietnam from another country and those having been in close contact with others who tested positive for the virus.
