Zwischen Schwarz & Weiß: Warum ihr in der Familie über Hautfarbe sprechen solltet

Viele Menschen nehmen mittlerweile die Haltung, die Reni Eddo-Lodge in ihrem Bestseller Warum ich nicht länger mit Weißen über Hautfarbe spreche vertritt, ein. Schwarze Menschen auf der ganzen Welt haben sich vorgenommen, nicht länger die Last auf sich zu nehmen, anderen die Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge ihrer Unterdrückung erklären zu müssen. Ihrer Meinung nach liegt es in der Verantwortung derjenigen, die von White Supremacy profitieren, sich Wissen anzueignen, um solche repressiven Systeme d...

Mariko is back and running....finally!

A recap of the last two weeks or so.Last week:I got Mariko back with a new fuel filter, the mechanic thought the old one had caused the issues which had prompted me to return the Sami to them for another look.  Basically, symptoms reflecting haphazard fuel flow.Some maintenance related items were done, such are replacing the spark plugs it came with. These same plugs had been black with soot! You'll note the above old plugs look pretty good in terms of color.  Before, when the engine had be...

How creating wildlife crossings can help reindeer, bears – and even crabs

Hundreds of reindeer overseen by indigenous Sami herders shuffle across the asphalt on the E4 as they begin their journey west to the mountains after a winter gorging on the lichen near the city of Umeå. As Sweden’s main arterial road has become busier, the crossings have become incre...

 So, a bit over a week at the shop and I was able to retrieve Mariko yesterday.I had actually been able to retrieve her on Monday, but she acted strangely when I started driving her home from the mechanic's shop.I showed the mechanic the symptoms and he felt it was probably either very low on gas or something with the fuel filter.  So I went back home, riding in Thing Two's truck, very disappointed.Wednesday afternoon, I get a call from the shop and they said the Sami is ready!  Two different pe...

Which Test cricketer was the biggest burden to their side?

Not every cricketer is great, or good, or useful. This begs a question. Who routinely contributed the least to their team? Which Test cricketer was the biggest burden? Back in November, we took a look at the worst Test bowling averages of all time. As you might imagine, quite a lot of the contenders were part-timers. You can bowl very badly and still be well worth a place in a Test team purely on the strength of your batting. You can also be a poor bowler and offset your inadequacies to ...

Little Free Libraries become free pantries to help neighbors affected by coronavirus

Little Free Libraries are meant to bring people together — a goal that may seem to run counter to the social distancing that’s now being enforced throughout California.

Mezcla's Jazz Fusion Debut Offers Hits and Misses for Bandleader David Bowden

But, on other songs, the band don't fall on formula, the tried and tired and true, as much as they stop slightly short of work that's truly inspiring. Guitarist Ben MacDonald redeems himself a bit on the closing track, but early in the record, he is muted and hesitant to the point of barely registering. On "Volta", the record's second track, there's a bongo- and bass-assisted shimmy that begs for a scorching guitar lead. MacDonald lurks quietly somewhere in the background. Lost opportunity. "S...

How to experience Sámi culture

Geographically, Arctic Europe makes up the majority of the land traditionally inhabited by Europe’s only indigenous people: the Sámi.

They have lived in Northern Europe for thousands of years, before it was colonized and referred to as the countries we know today; Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Although Sápmi — the land of the Sámis — stretches south of the ...

The worst Test bowling averages of all time

Who has the worst Test bowling average of all time? This is, on the face of it, a very simple question. There are, however, two different answers, neither of which get to the nub of why the question is interesting in the first place. Answer 1: Bangladesh’s Naeem Islam averaged 303. He took one Test wicket. Answer 2: Bangladesh’s Anwar Hossain Monir conceded 307 runs without taking a wicket. Anwar Hossain Monir’s is clearly the worst performance. We aren’t quite sure wh...
