The Mexican mayor refusing to give in to violence – BBC News

Carmen Ortiz became mayor of a small town in Mexico three years ago, after her husband was assassinated while running as a candidate.

She’s now standing for a second term, even though 12 of her staff have been murdered or are missing.

There’s been a new wave of targeted killings ahead of legislative elections on 6 June.

Biden announces month-long COVID-19 vaccine push | CIDRAP

Today President Joe Biden announced a month-long vaccine push aimed at Americans under the age of 40 in an effort to vaccinate 70% of American adults with at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by Jul 4.

“If you get a shot this week you can be fully vaccinated by July 4, and celebrate independence from the virus,” Biden said today during a news conference. “We need everyone to pull together to get us over the finish line.”

Getting to the finish line will protect Americans from another wave of illness and death in the fall, Biden said, while announcing five initiatives the federal government is taking in June to increase vaccine uptake amount young Americans and minorities.

The first Americans? First humans to arrive in North America may have lived 30,000 years ago – Study Finds

“Pushing the arrival of humans in North America back to over 30,000 years ago would mean that humans were already in North America prior to the period of the Last Glacial Maximum, when the Ice Age was at its absolute worst,” the ISU researcher concludes. “Large parts of North America would have been inhospitable to human populations. The glaciers would have completely blocked any passage over land coming from Alaska and Canada, which means people probably would have had to come to the Americas by boats down the Pacific coast.” Source: The first Americans?

Rock Me Gently

yaskhan

Rock me gently into a stardust's dreamTill sweet dreams kiss eyelids drooping with sleepWhere evening's prism bursts into twirled reams.The thrill of Mozart notes on your lips sweepMe into a glimmering, vintage nightYou gift me opal reveries to keep.Fireflies trailing vales and leas delightPewter clouds gently quilt a lullabyBirds coo final ditty in fading light.Wispy sky hangs up its hat, triste goodbyeTo a cruising, mellow sun, adieuThen, stars are born as tinseled moonbeams sigh.On dappled landscape, tempo of night's hueI breathe to a sweet rush of honeydew.

Puterea poetică

Google translation of introduction: Poetic power Cairo – 2018 – I took off my shoes and set off, crossing the white marble floor like a flaming desert, I entered the thicket of the colonnade and, sitting on the carpet with my back against a pillar, I find in the Al-Azhar mosque exactly the same thoughts as in a church or a synagogue or a Buddhist temple.

Cairo, 2018

M-am descălțat și am pornit să traversez, ca un deșert flamboaiant, pavimentul de marmură albă,

am pătruns în desișul colonadei și, așezată jos pe covor cu spatele rezemat de un pilastru, regăsesc, în moscheea Al-Azhar, exact aceleași gânduri ca într-o biserică ori într-o sinagogă ori într-un templu buddhist.

Cel mai vechi monument musulman din Egipt în stare de funcționare a rămas până azi cea mai prestigioasă instituție de învățământ islamic din lume,

ardent centru de studiu al literaturii arabe, a cărui bibliotecă se numără printre cele mai vaste și valoroase.

Peste două milioane de studenți frecventează aici, în principal, discipline umaniste. Din 1961 au fost introduse și facultăți cu materii nereligioase, cum ar fi medicina și ingineria, și tot atunci li s-a permis și femeilor să se înscrie la cursuri.

Ridicată la comanda califului, în plină dinastie fatimidă, în anul 972, după planul unui arhitect creștin,
