Moonlit Harmony – Kaushal Kishore

 

The full moon shines with brilliant grace,

The new moon cloaks in shadow’s embrace…

Yet we celebrate both with joy so wide,

Holi’s colours with the full moon’s tide…

Diwali’s glow when the new moon ascends,

Each a divine gift that time transcends…

Both from God above, they balance in time,

Each with a purpose, perfectly in rhyme…

.

Trump shares posts with QAnon phrases, calls for jailing lawmakers – Los Angeles Times (Me: Trump losing it…)

 Donald Trump shared more than a dozen posts on his social media network Wednesday that call for the trial or jailing of House lawmakers who investigated the attack on the U.S. Capitol, special counsel Jack Smith and others, along with images that reference QAnon conspiracy theories.

The former president began posting a string of messages Tuesday evening after Smith filed a new indictment against him over his efforts to undo his loss in the 2020 presidential election. The new indictment keeps the same criminal charges but narrows the allegations against Trump following a Supreme Court opinion last month that extended broad immunity to former presidents.

Trump reposted a doctored image that was made to look like President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were in orange prison jumpsuits, among other political figures, and a lewd post about Harris and Clinton that referenced a sex act. One post seemed to suggest former President Obama should be tried in a military court.

Kurzer Besuch in Flensburg / … A short visit in Flensburg – Stella, oh, Stella

Wir waren hauptsächlich zum Einkaufen in Flensburg, denn meine deutsche Seele braucht deutschen Joghurt (weil der dänische so sauer ist, die fügen Zitronensäure hinzu); Kondensmilch, die in meiner Jugend noch Dosenmilch hiess, weil sie in Dosen gefüllt war (jetzt im Tetrapack); französischen Käse und Holtseer Tilsiter. Ausserdem kaufen wir Nüsse in grösseren Mengen, weil die in Dänemark sehr teuer sind. Weil das Wetter so schön war, sind wir die ganze Fussgängerzone entlang gegangen und haben dann bei einem tollen indischen Restaurant gegessen, das wir beim letzten Ausflug entdeckt hatten. Falls ihr mal nach Flensburg kommt, das Restaurant heisst „Sadhu„.

… Our main reason to drive to Flensburg was shopping, as my German soul needs German yoghurt (the Danish one is so sour, they add citric acid to it); condensed milk, which in my childhood was called canned milk, because it was packed in tins (now in tetra pak); French cheese and Holtseer Tilsiter cheese. Furthermore, we usually buy nuts in larger quantities, as they are really expensive in Denmark. The weather was beautiful, so we walked down the entire pedestrian zone and had lunch at a great Indian restaurant, which we had discovered during our last excursion. In case you are visiting Flensburg, the restaurant is called „Sadhu„.

Ich habe nur ganz wenige Fotos in der „Roten Strasse“ gemacht, eine gemütliche Strasse mit Cafés und kleinen interessanten Läden, von der Hinterhöfe abzweigen, die noch gemütlicher sind. Ich habe tatsächlich noch nie über Flensburg berichtet. Ich glaube, ich habe damals als wir an der Grenze zu Deutschland wohnten, den Blog noch nicht gehabt. Ich werde nächstes Mal mehr Fotos machen, auch von der Wasserkante, denn Flensburg ist eine schöne Stadt!

… I have only made very few photos of the „Rote Strasse“, a cosy little street with cafes and small interesting shops, from which backyards divert that are even cosier. I found out that I have never presented Flensburg here yet. I think that I didn’t have the blog, when we lived near the border to Germany. Next time we get there, I will take more photos, also from the waterfront, as Flensburg is a beautiful city!

Die Beetumrandung ist aus alten Eisenbahnschwellen hergestellt.
… The edge of the flower bed is made of old railway sleepers.

Hier noch einmal ein näheres Bild von dem Rosenstamm. Der ist so dick wie mein Unterarm.
… Hier a closer take of the trunk of the rose. It is as thick as my lower arm.

Schaut mal, was ich gefunden habe, ein kurzes Video aus dem Jahr 2014, Rundblick vom Hafen. Anscheinend war an dem Tag auch gerade eine Ruderregatta.

… Look what I have found, a short video from 2014, a panorama of the harbour. It looks like there also was a rowing competition that day.

Ich glaube der Film gibt einen ganz guten Eindruck von Flensburg, nicht wahr?

… I think the video gives a rather good impression of Flensburg, doesn’t it?

AI and the Waste Management Revolution – FunWritings

We will live in a world where landfills can become a thing of the past. If we embrace the fact that great waste management can cause us to become the change we need to see. We have been talking about sustainability for a very long time, and now with the help of AI we are much closer to having the best plans for sustainable living.

Robots for Waste Separation

With the use of AI robots have began separating waste in a much more efficient way than humans. They also work for longer hours and there is no fear that they will develop any illnesses after they have been sorting toxic materials for hours.

With this new way of managing waste, there are more plans to get rid of landfills and decrease mining for minerals and other substances found under the earth and on the ocean floor.

Improved Sustainability with AI

For years we have been talking about sustainable living and yet we are still polluting our oceans, soil, air and underground water. With the hope of having AI that will cause us to see increased recycling happening. Now it has become a reality, it will become easier for waste to be reused and recycled. After waste is collected it can be sorted instead of burned. This is great, as we will see less air pollution, underground water pollution and more job creation…
