People are literally fleeing. Kids have lost their schools. Communities have lost their churches. Families have lost their homes. Some have even lost their lives.
And the President-Elect’s response is to politicize it.
We’ll continue to focus on what matters: saving lives and putting out these unprecedented fires.
In 1971, Nike hired a student to create a logo. She was paid $35 for her design. Carolyn Davidson was a graphic design student. She needed cash and was offered $2 an hour for her work. She was paid $35 after creating the design in about 17 hours. She later received 500 shares after Nike's IPO, which she never sold.
Schräg: @Apple verkauft „Rear Window“ mit dem englischen Original-Titel, aber der Film selbst kommt dann nur in dt. Synchronfassung. Englisch fehlt. 😕 https://t.co/rtkLnCmopL

»Nachts um 1 Uhr, die Hitler-Rede aus Berlin. Matter, schäbiger, elender noch als zu erwarten war.. The unsuccessful crook. This is his end.. Angst. Hoffnung. Beben. Äusserste Spannung. Immer am Radio. Oft den Tränen nah.«

In the early 1990s, Brazilian photojournalist Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado was stationed in Rwanda to cover the genocide, an experience that left him traumatized.
In 1994, upon returning to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Sebastião hoped to find solace in the lush green forest of his childhood. Instead, he discovered that his home had transformed into a dusty, barren land stretching for miles, devoid of any wildlife.
"The land was as sick as I was. Only about 0.5% of the land was covered in trees," he remarked.
At this time, his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, proposed that they embark on the ambitious journey of replanting the entire forest. Sebastião supported the idea, and together, over the course of the next 20 years, they planted an astonishing 2.7 million trees.
Their efforts resulted in the rejuvenation of 1,500 acres of rainforest, and the site eventually became home to 293 plant species, 172 bird species, and 33 animal species, some of which were on the brink of extinction.
