A rare opportunity to see the sky is available if you live in the southern part of South America or the southeastern Pacific Ocean. According to NASA, on the mornings of this Saturday, April 30, and Sunday, May 1, 2022, the two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter will show up only half a degree apart. These two brightest planets will be visible about 7 degrees above the eastern horizon as morning twilight begins along with Mars and Saturn, which will appear farther to the upper right of Venus and Jupiter. The close pairing of the two brightest planets is very unusual to see.

Saturday afternoon, April 30, 2022, at 4:28 p.m. EDT, will be the new moon, and when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, there will be a partial solar eclipse in the sky. If you live around the southeastern Pacific Ocean or the southern part of South America, you will see the tail of the Moon that blocks part of the Sun.

This eclipse will be first visible at 2:45 p.m. EDT (18:45 GMT) in the areas of visibility. it will end at 6:37 p.m. EDT (22:37 GMT); the event will take about 4 hours, according to TimeandDate.com.

In eastern culture, especially in Korea, around 1,500 years ago, some people used eclipses as evidence of witchcraft and manipulated the masses into complying. Hopefully, it won’t happen this time around.

A Cup of Poem – “버리는 중입니다” 봉주르 김

Posted on by

알아가는 중이 아니라
버리는 중입니다.

왜 장만했는지 이유는 알지만
전혀 사용하지 않은 지
너무 오래된

못 버리는 것도 병이라던데
언제 그 병에 걸린 지도 모르는데

지구 탈출 계획이 있는 게 아니라
그냥 그 병에서라도 벗어나고자
버리는 중입니다.

나무늘보급 속도라서 아쉽지만
평생 다이어트처럼
계속 진행 중입니다.

이걸 들일 땐 어떠했고
요걸 살 때는 어땠었고
저 물건을 선택했을 땐 또…

기억을 되살리는 게 아니라
버리는 중이라니까요

오히려 쓸모없는 기억은
잘 버려지지 않습디다.

평생 기억해 두고팠던 추억은
점점 낡아져 희미해지고

진작에 해치웠어야 할 사진은
잘 들여다보지 않았던 곳에서
발견되듯이

아, 맞다, 그래, 그랬었어야 했구나…
알아가는 중이 아니라
버리는 중입니다.

그들은 이미 버렸습니다.
나만 아직도 들고 있었구요…

  1. 4. 20. “버리는 중입니다.

New Deadline for Mariupol’s Surrender: Ukraine Still Stands

Russia is now offering a surrender of Wednesday for Ukraine to give up Mariupol, and important city that will link up the Russian-controlled Crimea with Russia.

However, the western governments are continuing to promise more weapons to help Kyiv.

So far, Russia has failed to capture any of Ukraine’s main cities since its invasion 8 weeks ago. This has made Russia change its tactics to separatist regions instead. That being said, the invasion of Ukraine has led to 5 million Ukrainian exodus, with many of its cities now in rubbles.

Ukraine reported that Russia attacked the Azovstal steel plant, which is the remaining stronghold in Mariupol. It has not yet been verified. No Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered, and Ukrainian commanders have also vowed not to surrender.

The Russian ministry have issued a renewed ultimatum of April 20.

The U.S., Britain, and Canada have continued to promised to send more artillery.

Pres. Zelensky of Ukraine has called the Russian army as inscribing itself as one of the most barbaric and inhuman army in the world.

Boris Johnson and Partygate

Posted on by

It is no secret that Boris Johnson, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, broke rules regarding Covid-19 shutdown, when he held a party. He was fined 50 pounds, which is about $100 or so.

In the meantime, a pub landlord in North Devon held a party on the same date (December 18, 2020) as the prime minister, was fined 4,000 pounds. This hypocritical application of the regulations has people fuming across the pond.

At the time, Devon was under Tier 2 restriction, which meant only friends and family could meet if they were living together or otherwise part of a support bubble. The police performed a raid and found there were several different groups of people sitting together.

The landlord justified the meeting as being limited to a Christmas party among colleagues and coworkers, as they’d been working together throughout the pandemic. The group was around 12-20 people.

The landlord is a Conservative voter and wants Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak to resign after they – along with Johnson’s wife Carrie and 40-odd other people – were fined for attending a birthday party on June 19 2020.

Johnson and Sunak had previously said in Parliament that they didn’t attend the party and followed the rules. This story is still in development; some say that Johnson was the first to break toast.

The Wayfarer Inn offered free meals to NHS and care staff during the Covid-19 lockdowns, as well as providing free school meals and giving up rooms at no charge for those self-isolating.

The Metropolitan Police are investigating 12 potential gatherings, meaning the Prime Minister and Sunak could be fined again if found to have participated. Many in Britain are now calling for resignation.

After 13 years of drought, Chile is now enforcing the rationing of water.

Santiago has released a four-tier plan addressing different levels of water conservation applicable to 1.7 million people. The four-tier plan is based on color.

Level 1: Green – prioritizes use of groundwater for water conservation

Level 2, 3: Yellow – also known as early prevention warning and yellow, focuses on reducing water pressure

Level 4: red – water is rationed via 24 hour rotating water cuts. The system is baed on monitoring the levels of water at Maipo and Mapocho rivers.

Santiago officials justified the system as a way of ensuring water access to everyone.

Climate crisis changes are bringing weather changes around the world, challenging previous ways of living based on historical expectations. For example, Pacific Northwest is experiencing more heatwaves and less rainfall, while the East Coast is experiencing stronger hurricanes and more rainfall. Otherwise, about 60% of the US will be experiencing drought this year.
