A New Zealand Minister’s ‘war’ with the media · Global Voices

Tracy Watkins, editor of the Sunday Star-Times, wrote that Peters is engaging in “misdirection and misinformation” and that he is using his office “to further erode trust and respect in the media.” She also criticized the motives of authorities who echo the baseless claims of Peters about the media:

Why have so many powerful people bought into this argument? Because it muddies the boundary between truth and lies. Because a weakened media is good for them. What politician wouldn’t want that? They don’t particularly like being answerable to the media and they like even less the scrutiny that comes with public office.

Sex and Surgery – CRAIN’S COMMENTS

The gender of the surgeon is related to the cost of your surgery. According to a study from researchers at the University of Toronto, when the surgeon in male, the average cost of a surgery is $6,000 higher than when the surgeon is female.

The study was based on medical records for 1,165,711 adult patients who had surgeries between January 2009 and December 2019. The surgical procedures included coronary artery bypass grafting, appendectomy, hysterectomy, anterior spinal decompression, and knee replacement. All surgeries were conducted in the province of Ontario, Canada.

Another year – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Another year inkling
The last ripped page of the calendar
Crumbled in one’s hand is something
Can’t be bought, and wasted.

Who’s so busy rounding up the year
Falling pluchea indica, the fear
The send off, washed away
With the spring rain.

Another year of feasting
Ten days of eating
Crushing for years, not on any wine
But just that smile, and I’m pining.

Another year of debts unpaid
The full pockets hearsay
Your husband is generous with his absence
The tears, they betray.

Another year by a lonely river
The dry void of landslides or sediment
The self pity as pitiful as the drought
Adrift along with faith and existence.

January 2024

The public is invited to a consultation on a large housing project in St. Ann, Jamaica – Petchary’s Blog

A key concern for many is the impact of this development on the Rio Bueno Watershed. Yes, that “precious commodity,” water. “The land is traversed by a number of natural waterways,” says the EIA. Apart from the area’s importance as a critical provider of water to surrounding communities, there are also issues with drainage; quite recently, there were major issues with runoff from the end of the North South Highway while it was being built, including loose sediment which ended up in the sea. The highway was built by CHEC. If proper drainage is not in place, this development could easily have a negative effect on the adjacent Old Fort Bay beach, where there are a number of luxury villas, a tourist attraction which would be right next door.

Fazer e refazer-se – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Fazer e refazer- se

A nossa vida afetiva é composta por muitas situações que acabam definindo aquilo que em parte somos, por meio de nossas emoções, sentimentos, afetos como amor e ódio que, ganham dimensões conforme o que vivemos e pensamos.
Considerando esse aspecto deixo uma reflexão sobre o tema de hoje ( relacionamento abusivo) para que olhemos a importância da nossa vida afetiva, tendo a plena consciência de nossa realidade, levando em conta a razão, mais do que a emoção.

Summer ending – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Summer ending with white clouds
Searching for the storms in folklore
As the scattered sprinkling rain
Goes searching for the drought

Gleaming sunlight
Searching for your eyes
Poincianas quietly
Searching for their bountiful foliage

Clear rivers
Searching for a distant sail
The old ox during the day
Searching for a spot in the shade

The breezing singing
Searching for brushes of bamboo
The dry summer days with you
Dreaming of going to school.
