Terminus Paradis

ore de drum

Mexico City, 2019

Pentru ca lumea să nu se sfârșească, aztecii erau nevoiți să aducă tot timpul sacrificii. Periodic, mergeau să depună pe altarul templelor tot ce aveau mai de preț, uneori chiar viața.

Muzeul de la Templo Mayor, principalul sit aztec din Mexic, pe temelia căruia a luat ființă Ciudad de Mexico, mi-a făcut cunoștință cu principalii protagoniști ai perioadei 1325-1521, când cetatea Tenochtitlan s-a aflat la apogeu.

Întreaga comoară expusă, compusă din opt mii de obiecte dintre care o sută optsprezece cufere cu ofrande, a fost descoperită în acest spațiu aflat acum în patrimoniul mondial UNESCO.

Mă întâmpină cea mai mare sculptură aztecă identificată până astăzi, Zeul Pământului, sau poate zeița, pentru că discuția asupre genului n-a fost încă soluționată, întrucât reprezentările sale variază. Devoratorul vieții și totodată generatorul ei trebuia în permanență satisfăcut, astfel că i se furnizau corpuri neînsuflețite pe care să le asimileze conform cererii.

Indonesians wait for UK farm jobs after paying deposits of up to £2,500 | Immigration and asylum | The Guardian

Indonesians dreaming of working in Britain are understood to have paid deposits of up to £2,500 to a Jakarta agency to “guarantee” jobs on UK farms that have not yet materialised.

Labour experts say a deposit is considered a work-finding fee, which is illegal in the UK and Indonesia.

One worker told the Guardian he made a £1,000 down payment in July to a Jakarta agency to guarantee an agricultural job with a British recruiter, but he had not even had a job interview.

He said he was one of several people left unemployed and out of pocket on the hope of a farm job in the UK.

“We stopped working to be able to seriously follow the recruitment process for a new and better job. Now we are unemployed and our fate is increasingly unclear,” he said.

In Lebanon, boat tragedy kills 94 but others plan to migrate — Naharnet

The incident was the deadliest so far as a surging number of Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians have been trying to flee Lebanon by sea to Europe in search of jobs and stability. In Lebanon, tens of thousands have lost their jobs while the the national currency has dropped more than 90% in value, eradicating the purchasing power of thousands of families and pulling three-quarters of the population into poverty.

Alongside 1 million Syrian refugees, the small country of Lebanon is home to tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees and their descendants. Many live in the dozen refugee camps that are scattered around the country. Palestinians suffer wide discrimination in Lebanon where they are deprived from doing specific jobs or own property and since the end of the 1975-90 civil war many have migrated.

Avian Flu Diary: Nature: Long-term Neurologic Outcomes of COVID-19

Despite narratives attempting to dismiss COVID as `no worse than influenza’, we continue to see evidence of long-term damage in some patients from SARS-CoV-2 infection.  Dubbed `Long-COVID’, or Post-COVID Syndrome, studies have suggested that 1 in 5 adults may be affected.  Source: Avian Flu Diary: Nature: Long-term Neurologic Outcomes of COVID-19
