Bolivia forest fires shutter thousands of schools
LA PAZ, Oct 26, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Tens of thousands of Bolivian pupils had their classes suspended as schools closed their doors due to air pollution caused by massive forest fires, the education minister said Wednesday. Some 3,650 schools -- about 15 percent of the national total -- have been closed until Friday, minister Edgar Pary told reporters. It is a common practice to set fires to free up forest land for farming. According to the environment ministry, some two million hectares (4.9 million acres) of forest and grassland have been burned this year. The skies over the capital La Paz and the second city of El Alto, which hosts the international airport, were blackened by smoke Wednesday.

Viewing Your Life Through a Long-Term Lens - The Cornell Daily Sun
Identifying the “why” factor that motivates you to set long-term goals doesn’t have to be elaborate or unusually serpentine –– for instance, it’s perfectly okay to be money-motivated. It’s also common to have multiple “why” factors; there aren’t any rules to finding sources of inspiration in your life to help you achieve those long-term goals. My main takeaways from these books are regarding anxiety habit loops and feedback loops. When recognizing your anxiety habit loops you’ll identify a negative habit that impacts your behavior and achieve new tiers of accomplishment. The Cornell Daily Sun is interested in publishing a broad and diverse set of content from the Cornell and greater Ithaca community.
