I have a particular interest in how Tagore is still transcending into the world, like when quoted by someone like @BarackObama or Marta Nussbaum. But esp. when through music, mostly settings. A favorite is Songs of Eternity. Here song 3, Peace My Heart

Ook op mijn VSO is dit aan de hand. Kan dit niet anders?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The drama of migration must serve as an appeal to the conscience of the nations of origin of the migrants, which must establish conditions for peace, justice and development. It is also an appeal to the conscience of the transit nations, which are called to protect the vulnerable and not leave them in the hands of criminal networks. It is likewise an appeal to the conscience of Europe, which cannot claim to uphold human dignity while growing accustomed to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic becoming unmarked graves, as well as that of the international community, which is called to effective and persevering cooperation. #ApostolicJourney https://t.co/3YfdiJYiGg

تصديقاً لفكرة SMED في #كايزن :

يبدو للجميع أن عملية تصعيد الركاب للطائرة ستكون أسرع لو قسمناهم على مجموعات وبدأنا بتصعيد الركاب في آخر الطائرة ثم الوسط فالامام (الطريقة في وسط المقطع)

الحقيقة أن طريقة تصعيد الركاب عشوائياً سجلت تخفيض يقارب نصف وقت الطريقة الأولى (استغرقت الطريقة الثانية (التي تظهر على اليسار) 18 دقيقة فقط)

أما أسرع الطرق (التي تظهر على اليمين) فقد كانت تصعيد الركاب حسب مقاعدهم بحيث يصعد الركاب في مقاعد النوافذ اولاً ثم مقاعد الوسط فمقاعد الممر أخيراً سجلت وقت 12 دقيقة فقط

في الثقافة اليابانية ينبغي عدم أخذ أي قرار قبل تجربة كل الخيارات والتأكد أن الوقت او الجودة او التكلفة او الجهد كما هو متوقع

ما رأيكم أنتم؟

[Minarquismo Cultural🐉 @minarquismo]

China’s so-called “historic economic miracle” is not proof that central planning works. It is proof that a totalitarian state can artificially accelerate industrial output through neo-slavery, massive subsidies, technological theft, censorship, and dumping on a scale never before seen in human history.

Those graphs do not measure freedom, prosperity, or healthy development. They mainly reflect hyper-industrialization imposed by an authoritarian regime controlling more than a billion workers with limited labor rights, restricted freedoms, suppressed wages, and manipulated economic data.

That is not free-market capitalism. It is state corporatism sustained by political control, forced dependency, intellectual property theft, and unfair competition financed through authoritarian power.

Who can realistically compete against a regime willing to subsidize losses indefinitely while controlling labor, media, currency, legislation, and information?

China’s model is not the triumph of socialism over capitalism. It is the modern evolution of centralized economic domination and meta-slavery.

@actfast No, Russian soldiers have been spotted deep behind the front line according to Russia, so that Putin could be happy this weekend.

@Fahadnaimb Back when I was in high school in the 70’s, I used to see them flying along the railroad tracks toward Rotterdam Zestienhoven. Magnificent!

❗️During NATO exercises to defend the Swedish island of Gotland from a simulated “Russian attack,” Ukrainian drone operators completely crushed the Swedish forces. The Swedes halted the drills three times to rethink their tactics. Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces, General Michael Claesson, stated that all NATO armies must urgently learn how to fight with drones directly from the Ukrainians.

Twelve years ago, on April 17, 2014, in Donbas. Russian special-ops group led by 🇷🇺 FSB-officer Igor Girkin (Strelkov), seized and tortured local 🇺🇦 politician Volodymyr Rybak. A man whose only “crime” was that he was for Ukraine.

His stomach was slit, a backpack filled with stones was put on his back, and he was thrown (still alive) into the river. His dead body was fished out days later.

Together with him they found Yury Popravka, an 18-year-old student who also suffered a martyr’s death. His “crime” was the same.

It was April 2014. There was still no understanding that war had come. But Russians already created a daily Golgotha, to which they and their local collaborators took anyone who was for Ukraine.

Let us remember Volodymyr, Yury, and all the others who endured torment in Donbas and Crimea in March, April and May 2014. Let’s not forget who started the bloodshed.

[TheLvivJournal @LvivJournal]

On April 17, 2014, Horlivka city council member Volodymyr Rybak went to the russian-occupied government building to remove the DPR flag but he was surrounded by russian mercenaries & russified locals. Hours later he was kidnapped, tortured & thrown into a river where he drowned.
