Grad Vatikan i San Paolo fuori le mura – Vatican City and San Paolo fuori le mura

Saw the Pope at Vatican in 1966 but missed this part of Vatican. Thanks for posting

Myrela

Lateranski ugovor koji su 11. februara 1929. godine potpisali papa Pije XI i Benito Musolini potvrdio je postojanje suverene države Grada Vatikana (Città del Vaticano), pod upravom pape i potpuno nezavisne od Kraljevine Italije. Time je konačno razriješena kontroverza koja je nastala 20. septembra 1870. godine kada je kralj Vitorio Emanuele II ušao s trupama u Rim i ukinuo papsku državu. U prvim vijekovima postojanja Rima, Ager vaticanus bio je periferija na prostoru između desne obale Tibra i vatikanskih brda, sve do mosta Milvio na sjeveru i brda Đanikolo na jugu. Oko prvog vijeka stare ere, to močvarno područje počelo je postepeno da se pretvara u stambeni dio grada, gdje su ugledne rimske porodice podizale luksuzne palate (horti). U Avgustovo vrijeme u tom kraju cvjetali su Agripinini vrtovi, a kad je Kaligula postao car, tu se nalazio cirkus – Gajanum – čiji su pojedini ostaci uklopljeni u…

Good People Doing Good Things — In The Wake Of A Storm

Filosofa's Word

On Sunday, exactly sixteen years after the infamous Hurricane Katrina swept up through the Gulf of Mexico along almost the same path, Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana.  At least seven are dead and more than one million without electricity.  Sounds like a perfect place for a few good people to step in, doesn’t it?


Back in February when an unexpected snowstorm hit Texas I wrote about Jim McIngvale, owner of Gallery Furniture in Houston, Texas, who opened the doors of his showroom to anyone in need of warmth and shelter.  McIngvale’s generosity and kindness dates back 16 years to the time of Hurricane Katrina when he opened his doors to those in need of shelter.  And today, in the wake of Hurricane Ida, McIngvale, age 70, is once again heeding the call of those in need.

But this time, McIngvale is sending dozens of trucks loaded to the brim…

Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom’s Call page 27, taking AIM at hunger

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

It is crucial that we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us today, and to come and work together, for all of us, right?

I believe that attention to shared histories, as in DC, may provide part of an answer. I started a note about that, a few years ago, in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call:

” … Chapter 4: A Ground Breaking Couple: Jean and Edgar Cahn
Antioch School Of Law/UDC

“RFK did not hesitate to remind us that poverty and race are intertwined, characterizing indifference and apathy to racism as “violence that afflicts the poor.”

-Dr. Edgar Cahn, 2008

Drs. Jean and Edgar Cahn came to Washington, DC in 1963, the year in which Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy presented the award to Marvin Caplan on behalf of Neighbors, Inc, for keeping Shepherd Park an integrated
neighborhood. Edgar Cahn was…

Un symbole brûlant pour la nécropolitique de Bolsonaro ! – Le « cadre temporel » – Génocide pour les peuples autochtones et écocide pour la forêt amazonienne ?

Barbara Crane Navarro

Bolsonaro insinue son non-respect de la loi si le ««cadre temporel» – une stratégie pour fixer une date butoir à 1988 pour les revendications territoriales des autochtones – est rejeté par la Cour suprême du Brésil!

Un groupe d’environ 150 peuple indigènes a porté un énorme cercueil symbolique devant les marches du palais présidentiel de Brasilia et y a mis le feu.

Le cercueil portait l’inscription «Génocide» sur le dessus avec «Ecocide», «Non au cadre temporel» ainsi que d’autres slogans sur les côtés.

Plus de 6 000 peuples indigènes de 176 nations autochtones se sont rassemblés dans le camp «Lutte pour la vie» devant la Cour suprême du Brésil à Brasilia pour exiger que les juges tranchent en leur faveur et rejettent la date limite de 1988, adoptée par le gouvernement Bolsonaro en 2016 et promus par les secteurs de l’agro-industrie, de l’élevage de bétail, de l’exploitation forestière et de…

L.A. school COVID outbreaks increase, some tied to athletics – Los Angeles Times

L.A. County officials have ordered unvaccinated students who had “close contact” with an infected person for at least 15 minutes in one day while within six feet of that person to be sent home and quarantined for at least eight days. The state, meanwhile, does not require a quarantine for the close contact if both the infected person and close contact were wearing masks during the entire time of exposure. Ferrer said she wanted to see a couple more weeks of data before relaxing the quarantine standard, to be sure that “you’re not creating an unintended consequence of creating a lot of spread in schools.” COVID-19 vaccines are authorized only for those age 12 and older.

Working with Nature to reduce disaster risk in Jamaica

Petchary's Blog

A new and significant project was launched on August 31: The “Greening Red Cross and Red Crescent Disaster and Risk Reduction: Saving Lives Through Working with Nature” (yes, that is the full name!) – called the “Eco-DRR Project” for short. The project, funded by the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, will take place in just three countries: Jamaica, Vietnam, and the Phillippines. Local Jamaican partners are the Office of Disaster & Emergency Management (ODPEM) the National Environment & Planning Agency (NEPA), and Environmental Solutions Limited on the private sector side, among others.

Why is it significant? Because it aims to use nature-based solutions to boost our resilience to disasters (I will not say “natural” disasters, because there is nothing natural about climate change -we humans created it). The idea is not to work against Nature, but with Nature. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) defines the term

B.C. mulls COVID-19 vaccine booster shots for immunocompromised, vulnerable seniors | Globalnews.ca

British Columbia health officials say they’re planning for the potential rollout of a third vaccine “booster shot” for those most vulnerable to COVID-19. Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry confirmed Tuesday that officials are developing plans for a rollout to immunocompromised people, as well as people living in long-term care or assisted-living facilities. Henry said the province could unveil plans for a booster for people with weakened immune systems within the next week or two.
