Older residents of the east reluctant to hit the road – BBC News – Ukraine
“We only have simple shelters here but we have prepared them,” said Valeriy Duhelnyy, 59, the head of the village and local territorial defence units. Duhelnyy is the equivalent of the village mayor, a position he has held since 2020.
“It’s hard for older people here to hit the road,” he said. “And maybe some are sentimental – they have stronger emotional ties to where they live. They don’t want to die anywhere but home.”
More than two million older people in the east of the country are at extreme risk as a result of the Russian assault, according to the charity HelpAge International. There is particular concern among charities focused on supporting the elderly that older people have been unable to move out of harm’s way, or feel unable to take on the hardship of upheaval.

Ironic Effect of Efforts to Ban Books: Teenagers Form New Book Clubs to Read Them – Slashdot
The Banned Book Club at Firefly Bookstore [started by 8th grader Joslyn Diffenbaugh] read George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” as its first pick. While the satirical novella, which makes a pointed critique of totalitarianism, isn’t one of the books currently being challenged in the US, it was banned in the Soviet Union until its fall and was rejected for publication in the UK during its wartime alliance with the USSR. And it faced challenges in Florida in the ’80s for being “pro-communist.” That history made for some thought-provoking conversations. “It taught a lot because it had references to different forms of government that maybe some adults didn’t like their kids reading about, even though it was run by pigs,” Diffenbaugh said. “I really thought it shouldn’t have been banned for those reasons, or at all.”
Teenagers at the Common Ground Teen Center in Washington, Pennsylvania, formed a banned book club soon after a Tennessee school district voted to remove “Maus” from an eighth grade curriculum. But while the graphic novel about the Holocaust was the catalyst for the club, says director Mary Jo Podgurski, the first title they chose to read was, fittingly, “Fahrenheit 451” — the 1953 dystopian novel about government censorship that itself has been challenged over the years. “Obviously this whole idea of taking away books that they wanted to read or that they thought they should read sparked a nerve in them,” said Podgurski, an educator and counselor who oversees the Common Ground Teen Center….

Muntele vrăjit
Paris, 2022
Templele au forma munților iar oamenii din Anzi au forma templelor, așa cum stau ei ghemuiți, răbdători și demni, gândindu-se la câte-n lună și-n stele.

Tot ce li se întâmpla lor, cu trei mii de ani în urmă, ni se întâmplă și nouă.

Naștere, iubire, sacrificii, strategii, împodobire, lux, adevăr, aparențe, rivalități, epidemii, războaie, moarte.

Se ajutau precum căutăm și noi sprijin în tot ce putem, în zei, șamani, credințe, superstiții, sentimente, pasiune.

Pășesc prin întunericul albăstrui, trec de la un capitol la altul al colecțiilor aduse de la Lima, pe cât de vaste pe atât de prețioase, care trasează repere de civilizație precolumbiană din anul 1200 î.Hr. până în secolul 15, când a fost edificat Machu Pichu, într-o expoziție eveniment la Cité de l’architecture& du patrimoine, place du Trocadéro, pe care o puteți vedea până în 4 septembrie 2022.

Jerusalem Artichoke, An Abundant, Beautiful and Delicious Survival Plant
Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.
With the current events that we all know and the food shortages, I thought I would tell you about Jerusalem artichokes, a sunflower that has edible tubers.
I had heard about them last year and decided it would be a great addition to my food forest (Food Forest Gardening). So I bought 10 tubers from a seller on eBay and planted them last spring.
Autumn came around and the beautiful sunflowers died down. The sunflowers were around 6 ft tall and produced multiple branches of flowering heads that were about 6 inches in diameter. They were great as cut flowers. I would show you pictures but I got a new computer and the pictures are on my old computer but you can do a Google search if you are curious what they look like. The featured image for this post is a photo of one of my sunflowers…
