  1. For the third year I get to this coincidence of dates - the day of independence of Ukraine on 24th of August and the day of independence of Uruguay on 25th of August.
    Let them be and let's remember all lives and all blood that went and is going towards that goal of these nations.

    After Independence (1958), the first state Orchestra was created as Orchestre de la Garde Républicaine and was instructed to drop “European march tunes in favor of music benefiting the new nation”. Later the orchestra split into 2 bands: 1st (1er) and 2nd. “Orchestre 1er” changed its name to Super Boiro Band.

  4. The #Pentagon on Friday fired the publisher & the editor in chief of #StarsAndStripes, the #military #newspaper funded by the Dept of #Defense that has long enjoyed editorial #independence from the #government, acc/to the publication’s outgoing editor in chief.

    The #DoD sent a separation notice to publisher Max Lederer, who announced his retirement this week, telling staff in a parting note he had disagreed with decisions from Pentagon top brass.

  5. Estonia's #population is smaller but richer and healthier now than at the restoration of #independence in 1991, according to #Statistics #Estonia. The country's population has dropped by 13% since 1991, while life expectancy has risen by over 10 years. Average #wages have gone up by nearly 60 times.

  6. When #Uruguay went 90+% #RenewableEnergy for its #electricity , bills fell sharply — and, the government was also able to take money out of the energy utility to help pay for services.

    When #Scotland went 95+% #Renewable, out electricity bills rose, and our government got almost nothing. The difference? #PublicOwnership, and #independence .
