Processing the loss of my little cousin, who died Sunday in a traffic 🚦 incident. The tragic thing is that my little cousin was racing with a friend of his without wearing proper motorcycle PPE, category racing. On top of that he was racing on public roads not on a racetrack.

Since the speed was high and proper PPE was not worn, the result was deadly for him

He was only twenty-one

Sigh 😔

Call on the #US. and the #international #community to take immediate action demanding not only a #permanent #ceasefire deal, but also critical next steps for #Palestinians’ #self_determination and other fundamental #rights.
click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgSign on to demand not only a permanent ceasefire, but next steps for Palestinians’ self-determination and other fundamental rights For over a year, activists and legal institutions around the world have demanded an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, but Israel’s officials have continued to block and sabotage each ceasefire deal. And the first phase is only a temporary ceasefire. We’re paying attention to make sure Israel’s government actually implements and abides by a ceasefire deal; not just a temporary one but a permanent ceasefire. And we know that even a permanent ceasefire is just the beginning: There are many more necessary steps beyond that to ensure Palestinians’ inalienable right to self-determination. Please sign on to demand the Israeli government not only approve a permanent ceasefire deal, but also fulfill the rest of its obligations under international law, including: ending its decades-long blockade on Gaza and ensuring unrestricted humanitarian aid into Gaza, withdrawing from all occupied Palestinian territories and stopping the ongoing annexation of more land, ending its 76-year-long practice of blocking Palestinian refugees from returning, and paying reparations to Palestinians.

#politiek #recreatiewoningen #permanent

Goed nieuws (denk ik) voor de mensen die permanent in een woning met recreatieve bestemming wonen.

De Rijksoverheid wil gemeenten aanwijzen dat zij altijd toestemming moeten verlenen voor permanent verblijf in een woning die in de omgevingsplannen als recreatief is benoemd. Het gaat dan uitsluitend om reeds bestaande gevallen en de exacte voorwaarden zijn nog niet bekend.

Interessante casus in hiërarchie van Rijk en gemeente.

Common Dreams · Meet the 7 Corporations Doing the Most to Undermine Democracy Worldwide | Common DreamsThe International Trade Union Confederation has labeled seven major companies as "corporate underminers of democracy" because they lobby against government attempts to hold them accountable and are headed by super-rich individuals who fund right-wing political movements and leaders.

Scientists slam ‘indefensible’ axing of agency's $450m Viper moon rover

Thousands of scientists have protested to the US Congress
over the “unprecedented and indefensible” decision by Nasa to
cancel its #Viper #lunar #rover mission.

In an open letter to Capitol Hill, they have denounced the move,
which was revealed last month,
and heavily criticised the space agency over a decision that has shocked astronomers and astrophysicists across the globe.

The car-sized rover 🔸has already been constructed at a cost of $450m 🔸
and was scheduled to be sent to the moon next year,
when it would have used a one-metre drill to prospect for
🔸#ice below the lunar surface 🔸
in soil at the moon’s #south #pole.

Ice is considered to be vital to plans to build a #lunar #colony,
not just to supply astronauts with #water
but also to provide them with #hydrogen and #oxygen that could be used as fuels.

As a result, prospecting for sources was rated a priority for lunar exploration,
which is scheduled to be ramped up in the next few years with the aim of establishing a #permanent #human #presence on the moon.

Construction of Viper
– volatiles investigating polar exploration rover
– began several years ago,
and the highly complex robot vehicle was virtually complete
when Nasa announced on 17 July that it had decided to kill it off.

The agency said the move was needed because of past cost increases, delays to launch dates
and the risks of future cost growth.

However, the claim has been dismissed by astonished and infuriated scientists
who say the rover would have played a vital role in opening up the moon to human #colonisation.

“Quite frankly, the agency’s decision beggars belief,” said Prof Clive Neal, a lunar scientist at the University of Notre Dame, in Indiana.

“Viper is a fundamental mission on so many fronts and 🔸its cancellation basically undermines Nasa’s entire lunar exploration programme for the next decade. 🔸

It is as straightforward as that.
Cancelling Viper makes no sense whatsoever.”

This view was backed by Ben Fernando of Johns Hopkins University, who was one of the organisers of the open letter to Congress.

“A team of 500 people dedicated years of their careers to construct Viper and now it has been cancelled for no good reason whatsoever,” he told the Observer last week.

“Fortunately I think #Congress is taking this issue very seriously and they have the power to tell Nasa that it has to go ahead with the project. Hopefully they will intervene.”
