We just added another 55 stories to Not the Only One! Here is one that was added today... Bentancur & Son: Racism against East and South East asian players is on the rise - BBC Sport Anti-racism charity Kick It Out (KIO) says there has been a rise in both incidents of racism towards East and South East Asian players - and reports of those incidents, highlighted in these statistics: There were 395 reports of player-targeted racist abuse in stadiums and online to KIO in the 2023-24 season - up from 277 in 2022-23. 55% of those reports of racism aimed at specific players last season was towards those from an East Asian background. Of the 937 player-specific abuse reports to KIO in the past five full seasons, 327 of them (35%) have been directed at just seven East and South East Asian players. https://lnkd.in/gQSMJFGw Found via nottheonlyone.org as one of 10,200+ #DEI #Diversity, #Equity and #Inclusion items.

En primer lugar, mi más sentido pésame a las familias de las víctimas de esta devastadora desgracia.💕💐 Y todo mi apoyo y ánimo al resto de afectados❤️ #GobiernodeEspaña #GoverndelaGeneralitat, os ruego que movilicéis con carácter inmediato todos los recursos del estado y la autonomía para ayudar a los afectados y víctimas de la DANA‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️Cada segundo cuenta… Algunas reflexiones: - Hay mucha gente buena. Incluso desde la distancia, ya que actualmente me encuentro fuera de España, es tremendamente conmovedor ver a miles de personas anónimas de Valencia y de toda España que están dando un paso al frente para auxiliar a los afectados, utilizando sus propios medios.🙏🙏🙏 - El sistema ha fallado. Esta tragedia ha dejado dolorosamente claro que, a pesar del gran tamaño del Estado español y sus cuantiosos ingresos fiscales, el país carece de sistemas de aviso de catástrofes y protocolos de respuesta eficaces. Con la DANA y otros fenómenos extremos cada vez más frecuentes, queda claro que es urgente implementar medidas contundentes. - España es una gran nación con mucha gente buena y resiliente, pero su clase política no está a la altura. Independientemente de la afiliación política, resulta incomprensible que no se haya tomado ninguna acción significativa a nivel nacional o regional desde un primer momento, a pesar de disponer, entre otros recursos, de más de 120,000 tropas del ejército, policía nacional o guardia civil. Sabiendo que hoy sábado todavía se han encontrado personas con vida en vehículos o zonas donde permanecían aislados por el fango, no puedo evitar preguntarme cuántas vidas podrían haberse salvado si los recursos completos del Estado y de las autoridades autonómicas se hubieran movilizado desde el primer día. Siento una profunda vergüenza, rabia e indignación hacia la clase política española, sin distinción de signos políticos.

Listen to today's podcast... Ever wondered who St. Nicholas was? There once was a young boy named Nicholas, who was born during the third century. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic. Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating St. Nicholas Day: We could all stand to be a little more like St. Nicholas.  Here is a boy, whose world dramatically changed when his parents died.  He could have let this beat him down. He could have drowned in self-pity.  Instead, he relied on his faith and did whatever he could to help those who were even less fortunate then himself.  Let’s get good at turning life around and focusing on what we have, and less on what we have lost or don’t have. Today, we have the image of Santa Clause and we give gifts to the people we know and love.  But what about our giving to those less fortunate then ourselves? We are donating less each year. The average annual amount per donor is less than $500 with the median amount under $150. With the economy the way that it is, the demand within most charities has increased while their donations have decreased.  Make a difference in the lives of someone less fortunate than you.  It doesn’t take a lot to have a huge impact. In 1998, my youngest son was due to arrive on Christmas Day.  We decided that boy or girl, their name would honour St. Nicholas as he was our blessed gift.  Nickolas arrived safely on December 22.

Here is the recording of today's meeting on "Solidarity Neighborhood. Promoting a sense of community in housing contexts" sponsored by #Buonabitare Bologna. Thank you to #RaffaelloMartini, #DavidChavis and #BrunaZani for their interventions, to #OresteDePietro, #AntonellaLazzari and #CarloBruni for recounting experiences in the panel session, to #Volabo (#MauroBosi, #CinziaMigani, #PaolaAtzei, #DavideAfretti, #MichelaDeFalco, #ViolettaCantori and all the staff) for hosting and helping with the organization, and to all participants. It definitely emerged and confirmed that working on the #senseofcommunity today is more and more important in an increasingly fragmented, polarized, and loneliness-producing society. Not only is it important, but "it can be done": there are tools , processes that can be used. ... Keeping in mind that the starting point, as Chavis said, quoting "MartinLutherKing, is "Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives." https://lnkd.in/dbFgTucK
