World Refugee Day - 20 June - Is Approaching

This not about sharing a burden. It is about sharing a global responsibility, based not only the broad idea of our common humanity but also on the very specific obligations of international law. The root problems are war and hatred, not people who flee; refugees are among the first victims of terrorism.

Every minute 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution, or terror. Please help poor people. You can join the #WithRefugees petition to send a message to governments that they must work together and do their fair share for refugees.

The refugee exodus with over 66 million forcibly displaced worldwide is at its peak.

It is a pity that there is no initiative like it was "Live Aid" in 1985. "World’s richest 1% get 82% of the wealth," Oxfam Charitable organization says, "there is a new billionaire every other day". I don't believe the rich are so much more productive than the others, it's just not fair.

Global Worming Is Very Real

It takes time for the propagation of awareness regarding global warming, especially among elderly people. Global warming reaches a 1°C increase in the last 100 years. Nevertheless, I believe we should continue to work hard.

Please listen to authorities and do exactly what they say regarding global warming/climate change.

I emphasize that most journalists are not spoiled, not governed by corporations. Journalists are also very rarely corrupt or spying.

Journalists have high moral standards and fight against evil regardless of their form. Sometimes it takes only a few good men, or just one person to make a difference.

There is an old saying:

The pen is mightier than the sword

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician

Please Accept My Deepest Condolences to Families and Friends of Deceased in Catastrophes

Huge wildfires, then rain and mudslides caused many casualties in California. Cold waves in other parts of the USA also caused many casualties. I'm so sorry. I hope this crazy weather will stop. I'm not religious but it makes me wanna pray.

Wildfires in Argentina, extremely hot weather in Australia, and the biggest current catastrophe is fire from burning Iranian oil tanker. China struggles to end the fire, but there is a danger for a catastrophe like the "Deepwater Horizon oil spill" in 2010.

Please accept my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the deceased.

Cult of personality isn't charming nor charismatic

A cult of personality arises when a regime uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods such as government-organized demonstrations to create an idealized, heroic, and at times worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality

Charming /ˈtʃɑːmɪŋ/ - adjective - very pleasant or attractive.

Charismatic /karɪzˈmatɪk/ - adjective - exercising a compelling charm which inspires devotion in others.

People are being hurt when those terms get confused. Hitler, Stalin were just a few of those who practiced the cult of personality in politics. Dear people of the world, please don't make the same mistake again. You should fire authoritative regimes and their leaders that want to be on TV often, acting as some celebrity, no matter of deceased victims.

IDN (Internationalized domain name) from my perception

An internationalized domain name (𝖨𝖣𝖭) is an Internet domain name that contains at least one label that is displayed in software applications, in whole or in part, in a language-specific script or alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Tamil, Hebrew or the Latin alphabet-based characters with diacritics or ligatures, such as French. 

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name

Example of Greek 𝖨𝖣𝖭 with a domain name in the non-Latin alphabet: ουτοπία.δπθ.gr

I live in Rudeš, it's a neighborhood in Zagreb, almost all my life. Back in 2004 when I first started Rudeš online (www.rudes.info) - web portal about Rudeš, there were so many critics.

As you can see, "Rudeš" is a non-Latin name because it contains the non-Latin letter "š". At that time the Internet, a project of the United States of America (𝖴𝖲𝖠), had only Latin letters support in assigning domain names to IP addresses.

It's a completely different story when you use the World Wide Web (abbreviated 𝖶𝖶𝖶 or the Web) as an information space for your online content. Ever since the Web non-Latin chars are available for the content.

Time has passed and now you can use your own, native letters and symbols for a website or email address name. There is little danger of phishing scams due to current technical limitations. Nevertheless, I would always redirect www.buecher.de ⇒ www.bücher.de, NOT www.bücher.de ⇒ www.buecher.de.

Nowadays, there are talks about the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (𝖨𝖠𝖭𝖠)  and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (𝖨𝖢𝖠𝖭𝖭). There are some ideas that should be governed by the United Nations, but personally, I think 𝖨𝖠𝖭𝖠 and 𝖨𝖢𝖠𝖭𝖭 should continue doing great work in the current frameset.

ᵁᴾᴰᴬᵀᴱᴰ Timeless questions? ( 3ʳᵈ part )

1) Is there a difference between a play, game, and sports?

In psychology and ethology, play is a range of voluntary, intrinsically motivated activities normally associated with recreational pleasure and enjoyment. Play is commonly associated with children and juvenile-level activities, but play occurs at any life stage, and among other higher-functioning animals as well, most notably mammals.

from Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_(activity)

A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements.

from Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game

Sport (British English) or sports (American English) includes all forms of competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.
