Holocaust Remembrance Day: A Reminder to Follow Our Own Values, Not Just the Law

If you are a parent or a teacher, please ensure the next generation learns these lessons from history. Teach kids and students to think for themselves and have their own values and beliefs. Especially in today's world, where populism is rising, it is crucial to think critically and question our leaders' actions rather than blindly following the laws they put in place. It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to ensure that history does not repeat itself.

Talks and Walks. It will be me in inspired moments on random days. No face, just a sketch, no profile, just a typewritten voice with its own opinions, doubts and certainties. Neither a writer nor a poet, assuming flaws, moods and irrelevancies. Disappointments on my own: expectations are at a submerged level, for now. Respect is essential. Following without prejudice but under attentive choice. As for followers...I hope you have a good reason! And, yes, this is an essay.
Happy New Year!

The wastewater podcasts, part 2: the Caribbean

An interview with Wayne Williams (Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association). Some parts of the world have unique characteristics. When I asked Wayne about the Caribbean's unique challenges, hurricanes came first to mind. Their destructive power increases, and it leads to the loss of infrastructure. Climate change also leads to dry seasons becoming dryer and wet seasons becoming wetter. And although the total annual amount of precipitation hasn't changed much, these extremes have a considerable impact. For example, the runoff during heavy rains goes so fast that the underground aquifers are not getting the recharge they need. Then this water floods other areas, especially if you have wastewater infrastructure with manholes in the road. And these problems lead to other issues, like plastics and rocks entering the water infrastructure and choking up the system or further down, the debris causes troubles in the treatment plants.

The beautiful Halitrephes maasi is commonly known as the firework jellyfish. The last sighting was at a depth of 4,000–5,000 feet (1,200–1,500 m) off Baja California Peninsula, Mexico.
