analysing the last 72 years of UN data on mortality. The places consistently reaching 100 at the highest rates according to the UN are Thailand, Malawi, Western Sahara (which doesn’t have a government) and Puerto Rico, where birth certificates were cancelled completely as a legal document in 2010 because they were so full of pension fraud. This data is just rotten from the inside out.
Longevity data from the UN says researcher is highly suspect, given where they report highest rate of centenarians. Those reaching are often, poor, lacking in administrative systems, or even without government. Says data is fully untrustworthy from the start.

Enhancing AI for Gender Equality through the Multistakeholder Approach
From a study on the cooperation to develop artificial intelligence technology with a focus on gender fairness through the multi-stakeholder approach in Europe, it was found that the case of the Netherlands is particularly notable. A seminar was organized to present a case study on the problem of gender bias arising from AI algorithms. The event aimed to raise awareness and develop solutions to address gender bias created by AI algorithms. Speakers presented real-life case studies from the labor market, highlighting the causes of these issues and the urgent need for solutions. This allowed seminar participants to engage in discussions to develop guidelines not only for improving AI algorithms but also for amending laws to prevent gender bias resulting from the application of AI in the labor market.

When an algorithm “learns” a pattern that more men than women are interested in lumber industry jobs (even if it doesn’t know their gender and learns this by correlating other information about a person’s likes and habits), then the system winds up deciding not to show those job ads to other women, solely because they are women.

Ausführliches Interview mit dem bisherigen UN-Berichterstatter für Menschenrechte und Umwelt David Boyd. Das von der UN festgeschriebene Recht auf eine saubere Umwelt müsse gegen ein Wirtschaftssystem durchgesetzt werden, das auf der Ausbeutung von Mensch und Natur basiert, und das von mächtigen Eliten aufrecht erhalten wird. Regierungen und Öffentlichkeit seien sich der Dramatik der Umweltsituation nicht bewusst. Boyd erwartet, dass in wenigen Jahren Prozesse gegen viele der aktuellen Regierungen geführt werden. würden. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/un-expert-human-rights-climate-crisis-economy

Based on the information gathered by the mission team from multiple and independentsources, there are reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence occurredduring the 7 October attacks in multiple locations across Gaza periphery, including rape andgang rape, in at least three locations. Across the various locations of the 7 October attacks, themission team found that several fully naked or partially naked bodies from the waist down wererecovered – mostly women – with hands tied and shot multiple times, often in the head.Although circumstantial, such a pattern of undressing and restraining of victims may beindicative of some forms of sexual violence.13. At the Nova music festival and its surroundings, there are reasonable grounds to believethat multiple incidents of sexual violence took place with victims being subjected to rape and/organg rape and then killed or killed while being raped. Credible sources described finding
Points 12 & 13 of the Executive Summary of UN's report on sexual violence during the Oct 7th attack contains the incriminating accusations against the Palestinians.

Die Selbstverpflichtungen der Regierungen zur Dekarbonisierung reichen bei weitem nicht aus. Ein Bericht, der von den Vereinten Nationen als Grundlage für die kommende COP28 publiziert wurde, ergibt, dass 2030 etwa 20 bis 23 Gigatonnen mehr CO<sub>2</sub> emittiert werden sollen, als mit dem 1,5 °-Ziel verträglich wäre.

adjacency between:

- luxury is, by definition a premium artefact so by definition is beyond the reach of most people. It is therefore un-democratic by design.

there's a detail here which is that there are also parts of the Palestinian movement who 00:05:28 reject the original state of Israel and the 1948 borders
The interviewee does not clarify enough this point,though it is recognized as contentious.
According to UN 1945, 2.8 Palestinians have the right to demand conpensations for the lands Israel apropiated before the Nakba.
The international community after 1967 came to the gradual understanding that negotiations for the reparations & the occupation will commence AFTER Israel withdraws to pre-1967 borders. Israel & the US are the parties that have been steadily resisting this, as is is shown by all intermediate agreements the US contributed to manufacture consent.

Me parece que este documento que habla de nuestro país, la inequidad y la pobreza como herencia, difícil de transformar, es un estudio clave para entender el grave conflicto social y político en el que vivimos. Según este estudio se requieren de por lo menos 11 generaciones para salir de la pobreza, esperemos y todos y todas hagamos una PACTO por la vida y por el CAMBIO, para que todes vivamos Sabroso!!
Un PACTO para que la pobreza monetaria y la pobreza multidimensional cada vez baje sus cifras.

The United States is a land of stark contrasts. It is one of the world’s wealthiest societies, a global leader in many areas, and a land of unsurpassed technological and other forms of innovation. Its corporations are global trendsetters, its civil society is vibrant and sophisticated and its higher education system leads the world. But its immense wealth and expertise stand in shocking contrast with the conditions in which vast numbers of its citizens live. About 40 million live in poverty, 18.5 million in extreme poverty, and 5.3 million live in Third World conditions of absolute poverty.4It has the highest youth poverty rate in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the highest infant mortality rates among comparable OECD States. Its citizens live shorter and sicker lives compared to those living in all other rich democracies, eradicable tropical diseases are increasingly prevalent, and it has the world’s highest incarceration rate, one of

“You cannot look at ‘web 3.0’ without looking at blockchain or without looking at AI (Artificial Intelligence),” he said. “So, our hope is that through this discussion of these various digital domains, the business models, the opportunities and the risks and the unintended consequences in terms of human rights, in terms of privacy, in terms of subversion of democracy, we are able to come out with some common principles...of strengthening cooperation across borders.”

Characteristics of a full basic income9.In its comprehensive and ideal form, a basic income is explicitly designed to challenge most of the key assumptions underpinning existing social security systems. Rather than a system where there are partial payments, basic income guarantees a floor; instead of being episodic, payments are regular; rather than being needs-based, they arepaid as a flat rate to all; they come in cash, rather than as messy in-kind support; they accrue to every individual, rather than only to needy households; rather than requiring that various conditions be met, they are unconditional; rather than excludingthe well off, they are universal; and instead of being based on lifetime contributions, they are funded primarily from taxation. And simplicity of design promises minimal bureaucracy and low administrative costs.
This is from a group that has thought this concept through, something US politicians do not seem to be capable of.

Thomas Frank, en The Guardian, se hace eco de un estudio publicado por Working America, que entrevistó a 1.600 votantes blancos de clase trabajadora de los suburbios de Cleveland y Pittsburgh en diciembre y enero. El estudio reveló que el apoyo a Donald Trump es alto entre esas personas, incluso en los que se identificaban a sí mismos como demócratas, y no porque deseen que un racista ocupe la Casa Blanca (esa es su tercera preocupación, muy por detrás de “buen empleo” y “economía”). Lo que hace que Trump se convierta en el líder favorito es “su actitud”, su contundencia y su forma directa de hablar.

El ideario defendido por Trump durante la campaña ha conectado con una gran parte de la sociedad blanca, que ve con temor como pierde su lugar privilegiado en un país cada vez más diverso. “Haz de America un país grande de nuevo” ha sido el contundente lema de una campaña dirigida a una clase social conservadora a la que le incomoda el país que dibujaba Obama en el que un hombre negro podía llegar a sentarse en el Despacho Oval, las personas del mismo sexo podían contraer matrimonio y millones de inmigrantes ‘sin papeles’ podían legalizar su situación. Habrá que analizar hasta qué punto este resultado electoral es más una derrota del proyecto de Obama que de la candidatura de Clinton.
