Zero-waste household… baby steps to get there!
Za knjigu Doživljaju s putovanja po Jukatanu, objavljenu 1843. godine, Džordž Bajron tvrdio je kako je “najbolja putopisna knjiga ikada napisana”. Autor, Amerikanac Džon Lojd Stivens, proveo je dvije godine na suncem sprženom karipskom poluostrvu i grozničavo zapisivao sve što je vidio. Ostaci majanske civilizacije doslovno su ga opčinili, a stari grad Usmal oduševio ga je više nego bilo šta drugo. Po veličanstvenosti, upoređivao ga je s egipatskom Tebom i zadržao se u njemu neko vrijeme, logorujući u unutrašnjosti zdanja koje su Španci nazvali Palasio del Gobernador (Guvernerova palata). Kralj Čan-Čak-Kak nal Ahav – prvi kralj koji je živio u palati u – u stvari bio je nešto mnogo više od običnog vladara. Prema majanskim hronikama, on je poticao direktno od bogova. Njegov portret bio je izvajan glavnim dverima palate i prikazivao ga je kako sjedi na prijestolu, pod budnim okom dviju zmija, noseći na glavi perjanicu s perima…

When you work on better understand and improve yourself, you are lighting a fire that will keep you warm in the darkest nights.

The revelations include more than $100 million spent by King Abdullah II of Jordan on luxury homes in Malibu, Calif., and other locations; millions of dollars in property and cash secretly owned by the leaders of the Czech Republic, Kenya, Ecuador and other countries; and a waterfront home in Monaco acquired by a Russian woman who gained considerable wealth after she reportedly had a child with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Other disclosures hit closer to home for U.S. officials and other Western leaders who frequently condemn smaller countries whose permissive banking systems have been exploited for decades by looters of assets and launderers of dirty money.
The files provide substantial new evidence, for example, that South Dakota now rivals notoriously opaque jurisdictions in Europe and the Caribbean in financial secrecy. Tens of millions of dollars from outside the United States are now sheltered by trust companies in Sioux Falls, some of it tied to people and companies accused of human rights abuses and other wrongdoing.

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
This week, Ranger Mayann did not send a report, so this 8th episode (in original, not viewing, order) of season 2, will again be from my point of view, rather than from the Minbari point of view:
I love the way this episode highlights the fact (much like many of the Harry Potter books, too) that things really are not always as they appear to be:
1.) more institutional abuse, and yes, Neatnik, “be afraid, be very afraid” of the Corps,
and
2.) also be a little afraid of Londo Mollari, or very afraid, when he starts wearing blue…
In this episode, we see a rather humiliated Ambassador Delenn. A bad hair day is not ok for the Minbari.
May we all learn to look past appearances, and keep those who tell us the truth in our lives.
Neatnik’s review of this episode has more…

“Chinese merchants [in the port city of Douala] pay people to go into the forest, harvest the tree and bring it back to them,” said Nana, who led the survey to assess the status of African zebrawood (Microberlinia bisulcata) and other threatened species in the forest, which covers an area of around 1,500 square kilometers (580 square miles).
The price of a cubic meter (equivalent to 1 metric ton) has risen to $600, from around $300 in 2018. Loggers are paid up to 100,000 CFA francs (around $180) per tree. The illegal loggers only saw off around 40-50% of each tree they fell, leaving the rest to rot.
“It’s just a huge waste,” Nana said. “All standing trees we identified last year have been cut.”

En la “Utopía” de Thomas More, publicada en 1516, el oro y las piedras preciosas no tienen valor. De hecho, han sido lastradas por la sangre, la esclavitud y la locura humana….

El arte de la manipulación: El concepto corporativo del patrocinio artístico fue perfectamente descrito por Hans Haacke en “Libre-Echange“, el libro de Pierre Bourdieu y Hans Haacke, publicado por Editions du Seuil / les press du Réel en 1994, que cito de un extracto aquí:
