Violência contra a mulher — VEM comigo!

Num país que você vive a modernidade, que se considera tantas posições, principalmente, as “politicamente corretas “, por que a mulher continua sendo vítima de violência? Uma violência silenciosa, muitas quase sem ( ecos) , ou numa linguagem franca, uma violência abusiva como a que vimos recentemente, como foi o caso Mariana Ferrer, que nos […]

Violência contra a mulher — VEM comigo!

In a country where you live in modernity, which is considered so many positions, especially the “politically correct”, why does woman continue to be a victim of violence?

A 95-Year-Old Veteran Remembers Fighting WWII In The Pacific — And Racism At Home: LAist

Luther Hendricks was just a teenager when the attack on Pearl Harbor happened. He says he was determined to fight to save his country from the enemy.

“Once President Roosevelt declared war, I went down the next day to the recruiting station to join up, and I was told they didn’t take coloreds in the Marines,” Hendricks said.

But as the war effort ramped up, the armed services began following an order from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to open all branches of the U.S. armed forces to African Americans. Hundreds of Black enlistees were accepted into the Marine Corps, though they were segregated from white troops.

White Marines were trained at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Black men went through grueling training at nearby Montford Point.

“We weren’t allowed to go train with the white Marines, which was just across the street from us at Camp Lejeune,” Hendricks said. “We weren’t allowed to go over there unless we had a white officer to go with us.”

At Montford Point, servicemen like Hendricks endured substandard conditions and racism.

“We were always talked of as ‘boy,’ ‘colored people,’ ‘you people,'” Hendricks said. “Never… a man or a person, you know.”

But Hendricks and his fellow Marines were not deterred.

More than six decades later, Hendricks and his fellow Montford Point Marines were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.

“In the time of these Marines — in the age of inequality, breaking the color barrier in the Marine Corps took nothing less than perseverance, patriotism and courage of extraordinary proportions,” said California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi during the ceremony.

New Memorial Recognizes Generations Of Military Service By Native American Veterans | Vermont Public Radio

“My ancestors were warriors. Rain-in-the-Face who fought in the Battle of the Little Bighorn or Greasy Grass that they called it,” says Marcella LeBeau, a 101- year-old former Army nurse. “My father was a Spanish American war veteran. My brother, oldest brother was a veteran. All down the line.”

‘Hoping recognition of Native service will be nationwide’

LeBeau is a citizen of the Two Kettle Band, Cheyenne River Sioux. She recalls hearing a constant barrage of German “buzz bombs” during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, while she worked as a surgical nurse at the 25th General Hospital in Liege, Belgium, just miles from the front.

“To me it was a great honor,” she said — and one recognized by her tribe when she returned home to South Dakota. With the memorial, she’s hoping recognition of Native service will be nationwide.

Filipino Invention: Lamp Using Water and Salt as Fuel

Lamp Invention by Aisa Mijeno

Would you believe that water and salt can replace kerosene to power a lamp? This is exactly what Aisa Mijeno did when she invented SALT, the brand name of her lamp. It is LED powered by the galvanic reaction of an anode with saline water. The name is is actually an acronym for “sustainable alternative lighting”.

La Fumée d’Or des épidémies – oru a wakëxi

If the Amazon dies, we all do…

Peinture: “Un Chaman Yanomami invoquant les esprits hekura” – 
peint par un chaman Yanomami, Alto Orinoco, Amazonas, Venezuela

Comme le dit le porte-parole des Yanomami Davi Kopenawa dans son livre ” La chute du ciel” : “Ils ont soudainement trouvé beaucoup d’or. A partir de ce moment, ils furent pris de la frénésie des vautours affamés. Vous ne pouvez pas manger d’or, mais vous auriez pensé qu’ils voulaient dévorer toute la terre de la forêt pour l’obtenir!

Nous ne voulons pas que notre forêt meure, couverte de blessures et des déchets des Blancs. Les chercheurs d’or sont devenus très nombreux dans nos hautes terres forestières, détruisant les sources du fleuve et tuant leurs habitants de leurs maladies. Les mineurs d’or sont des mangeurs de terre, des êtres pervers! Leur pensée est vide et ils sont pleins de fumée épidémique! Nous devons les empêcher de salir nos rivières et les chasser de la…

Nairobi seen from a rooftop

Always loved my visit to Nairobi many years ago.

pe blog

The City Square located in the heart of the city is surrounded by the Kenyan Parliament buildings, Nairobi Law Courts, Kenyatta Conference Center ( KICC) , the Holy Family Cathedral and the Nairobi City Hall. From the roof of the KICC, you can admire a superb view of Nairobi and its neighbors. You can plan to visit it as a part of a city tour and if you ever come to Nairobi one day, don’t miss it !

Located on a high altitude of about 1661 meters (5450 ft) above the sea level, Nairobi Kenya ‘s capital city has a year-round moderate climate . So, there is no bad time to visit . Of course, there are many things to see around : The Nairobi National Museum, the Masai Markets, the Bomas Cultural Center ,the elephant orphanage center, the giraffe center, and of course the famous Nairobi national…
