The #Trump admin's decision to slash nearly all #US #ForeignAid has left dozens of #water & #sanitation projects half-finished across the globe, creating new hazards for some of the people they were designed to benefit, Reuters has found.

Reuters has identified 21 unfinished projects in 16 countries after speaking to 17 sources familiar with the #infrastructure plans. Most of these projects have not previously been reported.

Massacre de moutons palestiniens par des colons:
Haine pure, des animaux non humains et humains. Des monstres insensibles sans empathie ni compassion.

> ❗️Israeli settlers killed 117 sheep and stole hundreds more during an overnight raid near Arab al-Kaabaneh, occupied West Bank.

Veterinarians were called to treat several surviving sheep, some of which were visibly trembling and appeared to be in shock after the knife and gun attack.

Salem Salman Mujahed, a resident of Arab al-Kaabaneh, said the assault was carried out by several settler groups acting in coordination and accused the Israeli army of watching without intervening.

The Controversial Practice of Seafood Farming with Pig Waste
Dirk

In today’s global food market, consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety and origins of their seafood. A particularly controversial practice has emerged in some Asian aquaculture industries: raising seafood using pig feces as a primary feed source. This practice raises significant questions about food safety, health risks, and environmental sustainability.

In certain regions of Asia, fish farmers have developed a cost-effective but questionable method of raising seafood by using pig manure as a primary nutrient source for fish. This practice originated as an economic solution to reduce feed costs and manage agricultural waste. However, it has sparked intense debate about food safety and public health.

The process involves using untreated pig feces to fertilize fish ponds, providing nutrients that stimulate algae and microorganism growth, which in turn feed the fish. While economically advantageous for farmers, this method presents several critical concerns:

Potential transmission of harmful bacteria
Risk of parasitic contamination
Compromised food safety standards
FDA Regulations and Import Standards

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a crucial role in monitoring seafood imports. Despite the controversial farming practices, the FDA has established guidelines to ensure imported seafood meets minimum safety requirements. However, challenges persist in completely preventing contaminated products from entering the market.

According to FDA data, only a small percentage of seafood shipments undergo comprehensive testing. This leaves significant potential for contaminated products to reach American consumers. Past incidents have highlighted vulnerabilities in the current inspection system, including shipments containing antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other dangerous pathogens.

Health Risks and Potential Consequences

Seafood raised using such unconventional methods poses substantial health risks. Potential consequences include:

Increased risk of foodborne illnesses
Potential transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Higher likelihood of parasitic infections
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that seafood-related illnesses affect thousands of Americans annually. Contaminated imported seafood can introduce serious health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.

Environmental and Ethical Considerations

Beyond human health concerns, these aquaculture practices raise significant environmental and ethical questions. The use of animal waste in food production can lead to ecosystem disruption, water pollution, and potential long-term environmental damage.

Moreover, such practices highlight broader issues within the global food supply chain, including the prioritization of cost-cutting measures over sustainable and ethical food production methods.

Protecting Yourself as a Consumer

Consumers can take several steps to minimize risks associated with potentially contaminated seafood:

Purchase seafood from reputable sources
Look for certifications like Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)
Prioritize locally sourced seafood when possible
Ask retailers about the origin and farming practices of their seafood
Conclusion

The practice of raising seafood using pig feces represents a complex issue involving food safety, economic constraints, and global trade dynamics. While regulatory bodies work to establish and enforce standards, consumers must remain informed and proactive in making responsible seafood purchasing decisions.

By understanding these challenges and supporting sustainable, ethical food production methods, we can collectively work towards a safer, more transparent global food system.

Im Austausch dafür dass die EU ihre eigenen Regeln ignoriert hat (die Handelsbeziehungen überprüfen und ggf auf Eis legen) - gab's von der israelischen Regierung ein paar Versprechen über mehr Hilfe in #Gaza. Doch was wurde eigentlich konkret vereinbart? War der Deal fair?

With so many lives on the line, what did the EU actually get out of its Gaza aid deal with Israel?

Last week, the EU and Israel reached a deal: More humanitarian aid into Gaza, in exchange for nixing any punitive downgrading of EU-Israel trade.

Das ist in etwa so, als würde man in der deutschen Politik eine Vereinbarung mit der AfD treffen, künftig nicht mehr von einem Verbotsverfahren zu sprechen, wenn die AfD verspricht etwa netter zu Minderheiten zu sein.

Das wäre natürlich absurd.
Und im Fall Gaza ist es noch absurder. Da geht's darum sich auf nette Zusagen zu verlassen, während in diesem Moment gerade Menschen sterben, erschossen werden oder verhungern - während der Gesprächspartner Konzentrationslager bauen möchte.

Mittleweile scheint Kaja Kalla- nach Berichten über die Lage in Gaza - klar geworden sein, dass sie den Schein nicht wahren kann, von Gideon Sa'ar ernst gemeinte Versprechen bekommen zu haben.

>>The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible.

I spoke again with @ gideonsaar
to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points.

So far today, 55 people have been arrested for terrorism offences by the combined forces of the UK police. This possibly represents the most successful counter-terrorism action in the nation's history.

The reason for this success is both farcical and pathetic.

But let us offer our congratulations to the Great British police for keeping the country safe from placards containing speech acts.

Well done, everyone.

Hurrah!

Heroes, one and all.

An Account in #Gaza describe the current state of #Hunger Under Israeli Siege

This morning, we ground lentils & mixed them with some flour to make bread for my family. Each of my 7 family members receives only 1 loaf of bread, for the whole day. This is the bitter reality we face, the price of flour has reached 150 shekels (about $42)

OCR of screen capture from Facebook: This morning, we ground lentils and mixed them with a bit of flour to make bread for my family. Each of my seven family members will receive one loaf to last the entire day. This is the harsh reality we face as flour prices have reached 150 shekels (about 42 USD). This is a solution for today, and maybe tomorrow, but soon we won’t be able to afford either flour or lentils. These are the darkest stages of our collective extermination and famine. We urgently need your support for our campaign, which is a lifeline for my family to survive these prices and provide the most basic food to sustain us

Finally came up with a solution. Sorta like Keanu Reeves’ solution in Speed, “shoot the hostage”. I destroyed the aerator. I looked it up and I can purchase replacements, so I cracked, broke, and chipped away until the aerator was gone. Now I get a single stream/jet of water, but at least I get water coming out. That will keep the women happy until I can get a new aerator.

Shakira - Rules

You have to swear
You've got love to love me, ah ah
That will last forever, ah ah
We must have a story, ah ah
With a happy ending, aaah

So don't ever go away
And never put aside
The things I'm gonna say
'Cause these are rules for us

Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree

You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You'll always be

You used to say
I should see a doctor, ah ah
Who would keep me busy? ah ah
'Cause a jealous woman
Never makes it easy, aaah

And you know I'll do for us
Whatever seems right
But it may take a while
Before I change the rules

Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree

You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You always were

So use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree

You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You'll always be
Aaah, aaah

I get the same results in Chrome and Firefox: if you open that URL in a background tab it waits for you to switch to it, so it looks like something Chase is doing on purpose.

When it does render, the url is updated to secure.chase.com/web/auth/dash…

Chase appears to use the "hash" part of the URL as commands. If you try to load that full URL with the hash part then it does seem to render in a background tab just fine in Chrome and Firefox.

I was at home and my mother whom I haven't seen in around 15 years was there and she invited a bunch of blacks over for some reason. They were looking around at my things and a black women tried to steal one of my 9mm magazines and I shot her in the head. 😀

"Charged under The Terrorism Act" = "Disagreeing with Genocide"

Fascists erase the meanings of words and supplant their own, so now any criticism of a fucking Genocide is now Terrorism and forbidden.

If we don't like it "Oh you support terrorism do you?"

Thought terminating clichés are all the Zionists have, there is no morality.

The article talks about academics going to other countries-- but then there's the brain drain you get when the people smart enough to, oh, say, recognize that genocide is BAD get kicked out of their schools and jobs, or the brain drain you get when the people who are smart enough to try to take care of each other get overwhelmed and burned out as poverty and lack of services push them past the breaking point, and the brain drain you get when the people smart enough to see how fucked up everything is end up succumbing to depression and substance abuse, and so on, and on.....

<<Only 16% of Italians would fight for their country, survey shows>>

I'm surprised even 16% would. That's not Italian way at all. Once you comprehend that Italy is an artificial construct that's even younger than the US, it kinda starts making sense, doesn't it. I mean, people in Italy would totally fight for their friends, family, their local community and all that stuff, and theyd fuck you up big time, mafia style, believe me, but for the central government....

🎵 L Y R I C S / L E T R A S🎵:
Se me acaba el argumento
Y la metodología
Cada vez que se aparece frente a mí tu anatomía

Porque este amor ya no entiende
De consejos ni razones
Se alimenta de pretextos y le faltan pantalones

Este amor no me permite estar en pie
Porque ya hasta me ha quebrado los talones
Aunque me levante volveré a caer
Si te acercas nada es útil para esta inútil

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido

En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa más que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte

Ay, ay, ay
Ay-ay-ay
Y, ay, ay, ay
Y, ay-ay-ay

Cuántas veces he intentado
Enterrarte en mi memoria
Y, aunque diga: "ya no más"
Es otra vez la misma historia

Porque este amor siempre sabe
Hacerme respirar profundo
Ya me trae por la izquierda
Y de pelea con el mundo

Si pudiera exorcizarme de tu voz
Si pudiera escaparme de tu nombre
Si pudiera arrancarme el corazón
Y esconderme para no sentirme nuevamente

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido

En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa más que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte

Ay, ay, ay
Ay-ay-ay
Y, ay, ay, ay
Y, ay-ay-ay

Ojerosa, flaca, fea, desgreñada
Torpe, tonta, lenta, necia, desquiciada
Completamente descontrolada
Tú te das cuenta y no me dices nada

Ves que se me ha vuelto la cabeza un nido
Donde solamente tú tienes asilo
Y no me escuchas lo que te digo
Mira bien lo que vas a hacer conmigo

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido

En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa más que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido

En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa más que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido

En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa más que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte
