Bolsonaro slashes Brazil’s environment budget, day after climate talks pledge | Brazil | The Guardian

Speaking on Thursday to the summit organised by US President Joe Biden, Bolsonaro pledged to double the budget for environmental enforcement and end illegal deforestation by 2030.

Less than 24 hours later, Bolsonaro signed off on the 2021 federal budget that included 2bn reais (US$365.30m) for the environment ministry and agencies it oversees, down from 2.6bn initially approved for 2020, according to the official government gazette. Spending can be adjusted over the course of the year.

New chip could detect COVID-19 cases with 99.9% accuracy – study – The Jerusalem Post

Scientists have developed a new chip which would allow for faster and more accurate COVID-19 detection with up to 99.9% accuracy.

Jeremy Edwards, director of the Computational Genomics and Technology (CGaT) Laboratory at the University of New Mexico, along with colleagues from Centrillion Technologies in Palo Alto, California and West Virginia University, has developed a simpler and faster genome sequencing method which would allow the detection of respiratory diseases such as COVID-19 with greater accuracy.
Their research study is titled “Highly Accurate Chip-Based Resequencing of SARS-CoV-2 Clinical Samples” and was peer reviewed and published in the American Chemical Society. It aims to create alternative COVID testing and tracing systems which would be a widely available alternative to current systems which often produce false positives or negatives.

Myanmar Regime Troops Ordered to ‘Annihilate’ Protesters, Internal Memos Show

“You must annihilate them when you face them,” reads an instruction dated April 11, because “rioters [the military’s euphemism for anti-regime protesters] have gone from peaceful demonstration to the level of armed conflict.”

“Officers at all levels have to follow these instructions strictly,” it adds.

The order amounted to a retroactive endorsement of the massacre of 82 people just two days earlier in Bago, a city north of Yangon, in which soldiers and police sprayed protesters with live rounds and used rifle grenades to destroy roadblocks fortified with sandbags.

Two days later, on April 14, another memo was distributed.

It reads, “All the emergency security forces must be weaponized fully and systematically” as “riots may extend to your control area,” citing ongoing protests in “every township in  Sagaing, Mandalay, Yangon and Bago regions and in Mon State.”

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

Adulting is taking responsibility for ourselves and for our society, where we live in a Republic that both allows us much freedom and thus, requires of us much responsibility.  Part of that responsibility is helping others in society learn and help others.  The Four Freedoms movement advocates one possible program, starting with free schooling and more funding for programs like the San Diego Promise program, to which graduates of Continuing Education and Adult High School Equivalency programs can aspire.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Culturalizando

Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monf nasceu no ano de 1864 em Albi no sul da França. O artista faz parte do movimento artístico do pós-impressionismo junto com outros artistas como Paul Gauguin e Émile Bernard. Apesar de Henri Toulouse-Lautrec ser um pouco menos conhecido do que outros artistas pós-impressionistas, suas pinturas já foram vendidas por quantias milionárias.

Toulouse-Lautrec nasceu numa família muito antiga de nobres franceses, sendo descendente dos condes de Lautrec e Toulousse. Como acontece na nobreza, o casamento entre primos, depois de algumas gerações resulta em algum tipo de condição genética, Henri tinha uma doença genética chamada de Picnodisostose que provoca nanismo e ossos mais suscetíveis à fraturas.

O artista começou o seu aprendizado no estúdio de Fernand Cormon, onde conheceu os artistas pós-impressionistas como Émile Bernard e Vincent Van Gogh. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec chegou a pintar um retrato de Vincent Van Gogh:

LOVE THE NATURE, IN RETURN IT GIVES EVERYTHING

I love the spring season, it is the beginning of the spring days. And I want to change a little bit. As everyone knows covid pandemics from 1 year still the cases are increasing because of negligence.

As technology is increased we are attached to cellphones and TVs. We are in a closed room. Technology is a good thing to use but we should not attach to it. We have to give some preference to the world.

We are not seeing the beauty of nature. She the sun rises and sunsets you feel very peaceful. It is some kind of relaxation to your mind.
