Sketches from the courtroom of the first trial of the Baltimore police officers accused of being culpable in the death of Freddie Gray. www.washingtonpost.com/news/drawing-dc-together/
There are times when nature calls in a voice that cannot for long go unheeded. At such times "any old port in a storm" is the Bentos motto. When matters are less imperative however, I am quite choosy. Or rather I was ...for my impression is that one's choices are becoming fewer as the facilities provided by the local authorities are gradually reduced in number. Increasingly one must seek the amenities provided by large shops, public houses, restaurants and suchlike. I positively refuse to enter those kiosk-like Portaloo things that appeared on the streets of London some years ago. I think I heard that the doors fly open automatically after a certain time has elapsed. This is to ensure that no one is trapped within, but any occupant who finds himself with a hard nut to crack (as my late mother used to express it) places himself at risk of being exposed to the scrutiny of the street whilst still at his evacuations.
Several times during the day I had passed erstwhile public lavatories which were out of use and padlocked. The Royal Parks are especially culpable in this matter. I was pleased to note, however, that the underground conveniences at Oxford Circus are still operative. In my experience some of the best-appointed public conveniences ...or rather conveniences to which the public is admitted... are those in museums and art galleries. This photograph was taken at the immaculate facility provided at the Wallace Collection, currently hosting an exhibition devoted to dear old Osbert Lancaster. Every user has his own close-stool, equipped with a wash basin, hand-dryer and, as will be seen, a full-length mirror.
Piden asignatura de “autoestima y género” para erradicar violencia machista y feminicidios
Luego de que se diera a conocer la noticia de que una mujer fue asesinada de 6 cuchillazos por su ex pareja sentimental en
un arranque de ira y celos. (www.oem.com.mx/diariodequeretaro/notas/n3003297.htm)
Manuel Edmundo Ramos Gutiérrez, Presidente de SOS Discriminación
Internacional Querétaro y Maestro en estudios de Género, Identidad y
Ciudadanía por la Universidad de Huelva, España pidió a las autoridades investigar a profundidad el caso para que no quede impune y se haga justicia. Así
mismo, solicitó a los legisladores y autoridades educativas sumar
esfuerzos para incluir en
Querétaro la asignatura “autoestima y género” desde el nivel preescolar
hasta la preparatoria, para prevenir y erradicar la violencia machista
que sigue cobrando vidas.
Ramos Gutiérrez, recordó que a nivel mundial se señala que una de cada tres
mujeres es, fue o será víctima de agresiones machistas
en algún momento de su vida. Insultos, violaciones, golpes y ataques son algunas de las expresiones más comunes de ese problema pero la
consecuencia última es el feminicidio, un crimen de odio que de acuerdo
con reportes periodísticos y de organizaciones civiles
en seis años se triplicaron “destacaron a mediados de 2012 que en seis
años el índice de asesinatos de mujeres se había triplicado. En 2006
ocurrían en promedio 1.6 homicidios de mujeres cada mes, mientras que en 2012 se registraban 5.1 mensualmente. En suma,
durante el sexenio, hasta ese entonces, sumaban 254 asesinatos de
mujeres”. ( www.sinembargo.mx/22-04-2013/594745)
De ahí la importancia de prevenir este cáncer cultural con educación y políticas
públicas efectivas con perspectiva de género, que contribuyan a la construcción
de una cultura de la igualdad basada en el fortalecimiento del
autoestima de las personas y en la rehabilitación de quienes ejercen
violencia y maltrato.
La cultura machista que aún persiste en la sociedad es la culpable de la
violencia que sufren los grupos en situación de vulnerabilidad,
como es el caso de las mujeres.
La falta de autoestima, amor y atención en la infancia genera
codependencia al llegar a la edad adulta. La persona codependiente
no puede dar lo que no recibió, por lo tanto, la codependencia se
convierte en un círculo vicioso que continúa de generación en generación si no se busca ayuda psicológica.
Como nadie nos enseña como querernos y valorarnos a nosotros/as mismos/as,
por eso no aprendemos a respetar y valorar a los
demás. Los infantes que crecieron en familias donde no se les inculcó el amor así mismos o donde nunca escucharon mensajes positivos de su madre y su padre, tales como: "eres muy inteligente", "estás haciendo un buen trabajo" o "gracias mi amor, agradezco mucho
tu ayuda." Se convierten en adultos con baja autoestima, se sienten
abandonados y buscan la aprobación de otras personas para sentirse mejor consigo mismos.
Muchos hombres machistas o feminicidas sufrieron maltratos en su infancia y
han interiorizado la violencia como un comportamiento
“normal”. Los golpes y los gritos son su único recurso. La única forma de enfrentarse a una vida que no transcurre como a ellos les gustaría.Por eso es necesario, educar desde la escuela, con autoestima e igualdad,
porque si me sé querer y respetar a mí mismo/a, también lo haré con las y los demás.
Finalmente, el activista queretano coincidió con organizaciones civiles en defensa
de las mujeres, como el Comité Latinoamericano
para la Defensa de las Mujeres (Cladem), al señalar que la violencia
contra las mujeres y su expresión extrema, el feminicidio, representan
"un grave problema" para las mujeres, porque implica la violación
sistemática de sus derechos humanos fundamentales y
devela las condiciones de discriminación social y jurídica en la que
viven.

...I aixo seria veritat en una democracia real,i es faria veritat a traves del vot.No tots els politics son corruptes,ni el poder corrompeix a tots i es ben cert que al ser ocupant la plaça publica estem fent tambe politica,un esboçde politica assamblearia.
La gent intenta organitzar-se,fer reunions sota aquella palmera, al principi d´aquelles escales,.darrera aquella font,es un proces llarg com deien pels microfons...i l´important es poguer expressar el descontent i buscar sortida...
I aixó seria veritat si els politics fossin mes de trinxera i menys de carrera,si realment fossin conscients que son alli perque la gent vol que els representin i no a l´inreves,si obeissin les propostes del carrer,del barri ,de la ciutat i no les consignes dels grups de poder que dominen el mon sense bandera,sense pais,nomes moguts per el interes economic.( que hi fan en Felipe Gonzalez,L´esperanza Aguirre i en Juan Luis Cebrian per exemple,a les reunions secretes del Grup Bilderberg i perque alimenten tantes sospites ,tantes teories conspiratives? Que s´hi decideix ? en qualitat de que son comvidats i perque no s´informa si ens vincula a tots ? )
Aixo seria veritat si al ser escollits caminessin amb tots nosaltres per fer un mon millor pèr els nostres fills,per ensenyar-nos a reciclar enlloc d´empenyer a consumir,si escoltessin el que el mon ens demana,el mes optim per la supervivencia de les persones i l´entorn,enlloc de la mort i la destrucció per alimentar uns pocs escollits.La crisis no la van inventar els politics,pero si la van permetre,no van aturar el moviment fictici del diner i van posar en marxa una maquinaria basada en l´amibicio i la codicia on tots varem sortir retratats com una colla de cretins.
Ara les retallades son el pa de cada dia,i el problema no es retallar,sino que es retalla.Un pais amb les arques buides no pot viure com si no passes res,o del contrari tornariem a fer economia de ficció,la mateixa que ens va dur a la crisi.Nosaltres tambe en som culpables,no teniem que haver aceptat aquests credits de fantasia , ni volguer viure com el Sr Botin amb un sou de 1200€, no teniem que haver aceptat el consum salvatge ,ni l´alça de preus ,ni el comvertir-nos en inmobiliaries particulars mentres treballavem tambe a l´oficina..Molta gent va volguer fer l´agost i ara s´estan pelant de fred.....No es pot anar de "listillu" i despres assenyalar els politics com unics culpables....
Era hora de despertar,encara que sigui desordenadament,anarquicament,i ho estem fent be,amb pau i un somriure,el que ha passat aquets dies es un fenomen dificil d´explicar,pero l´estem fent realitat cada dia que passa.El vas s´ha vessat.....hem de trobar noves fonts....i aixo es feina de tots com a tribu,com a societat i tambe de cada un de nosaltres individualment, ens toca com sempre trobar el millor cami, aquest es un joc d´apendre i no un cap de setmana a Port Aventura ,ni un videojoc amb emocions de disseny,li haurem de possar imaginació i creativitat.
... Y eso sería verdad en una democracia real, y se haría verdad a través del voto.
No todos los políticos son corruptos, ni el poder corrompe a todos y es bien cierto que al estar ocupando la plaza pública estamos haciendo también política, un apunte de política asamblearia.
La gente intenta organizarse, hacer reuniones bajo aquella palmera, al principio de aquellas escaleras,. detras de aquella fuente, es un proceso largo como se oia por los micrófonos ... lo importante es poder expresar el descontento y buscar soluciones...
Y eso seria verdad si los políticos fueran más de trinchera y menos de carrera, si realmente fueran conscientes de que estan allí porque la gente quiere que los representen y no al revés, si obedecieran las propuestas de la calle, del barrio, de la ciudad y no las consignas de los grupos de poder que dominan el mundo sin bandera, sin país, sólo movidos por el interés economico..( que hacen Felipe Gonzalez, Esperanza Aguirre y Juan Luis Cebrian por ejemplo ,en las reuniones secretas del Grupo Bidelberg ? porque alimentan tantas sospechas, tantas teorias conspirativas? Que se decide? en calidad de que son invitados y porque nadie informa si nos vincula a todos ? )
Eso sería verdad si al ser elegidos caminaran con todos nosotros para hacer un mundo mejor para nuestros hijos, para enseñarnos a reciclar en lugar de empujar a consumir, si escucharan lo que el mundo nos pide, lo mas óptimo para la supervivencia de las personas y el entorno, en lugar de la muerte y la destrucción para alimentar unos pocos escojidos.La crisis no la inventaron los políticos, pero si la permitieron, no pararon el movimiento ficticio del dinero y pusieron en marcha una maquinaria basada en la amibicion y la codicia donde todos salimos retratados como un monton de cretinos.
Ahora los recortes son el pan de cada día, y el problema no es recortar, sino que se recorta.
Un país con las arcas vacías no puede vivir como si no pasara nada, o de lo contrario volveríamos a hacer economía de ficción, la misma que nos llevó a la crisis.
Nosotros también somos culpables, no teníamos que haber aceptado estos créditos de fantasía, ni querer vivir como el Sr. Botin con un sueldo de 1200 €, no teníamos que haber aceptado el consumo salvaje, ni al alza de precios, ni el convertirnos en inmobiliarias particulares mientras trabajábamos también en la oficina ..
Mucha gente quiso hacer el agosto y ahora se están pelando de frío ..... No se puede ir de "listillo" y después señalar los políticos como unicos culpables ....
Era hora de despertar, aunque sea desordenadamente, anárquicamente, y lo estamos haciendo bien, con paz y una sonrisa, lo que ha sucedido estos días es un fenómeno difícil de explicar, pero lo estamos haciendo realidad cada día que pasa.El vaso se ha derramado ..... debemos encontrar nuevas fuentes .... y eso es trabajo de todos como tribu, como sociedad y también de cada uno de nosotros individualmente, nos toca como siempre encontrar el mejor camino, y eso es un juego de aprender y no un fin de semana en un parque tematico,ni un videojuego con emociones de diseño , habra que ponerle imaginacion y creatividad..

"Now about Lankhmar. She's been invaded, her walls breached everywhere and desperate fighting is going on in the streets, by a fierce host which out-numbers Lankhmar's inhabitants by fifty to one and equipped with all modern weapons. Yet you can save the city." "How?" demanded Fafhrd. Ningauble shrugged. "You're a hero. You should know." Fritz Leiber, from "The Swords of Lankhmar"

JO TAMBÉ ESTAVA AL PARLAMENT... I HO TORNARIA A FER
El dia 31 de març comença el judici contra les 20 persones imputades per l’intent de bloqueig del Parlament del 15 de Juny del 2011. Aquell dia s'anaven a iniciar el tràmits per aprovar els pressupostos amb el primer paquet de retallades a Catalunya, que va propiciar el tancament d'empreses públiques, la privatització de la sanitat, les retallades al sector de la cultura, educació, etc.
La mobilització “Aturem el Parlament” va succeir dues setmanes després del brutal desallotjament de la Plaça Catalunya a mans dels antidisturbis dels Mossos d'Esquadra a les ordres del que era conseller d'Interior i ara ho és d'Empresa i Ocupació, Felip Puig. També responsable del dispositiu policial que va disparar contra l'ull d'Esther Quintana.
La criminalització per part de la premsa subvencionada pel Govern i l'escalada repressiva que va venir després (judicis contra persones que volien impedir un desnonament al Clot, nombroses detencions a les vagues generals, multes absurdes per les persones que es manifestaven o per enganxar cartells, etc), va ser i és encara, una resposta planejada per procurar frenar l'augment de la indignació i de la força de les protestes populars contra el poder polític, econòmic i altres injustícies quotidianes, com el patriarcat i el racisme.
Durant aquells dies, la gent es va organitzar arreu per construir política des del carrer, com moltes seguim fent. La política que volem és assembleària, horitzontal, autogestionada, sense representants, és del poble i per al poble, i xoca amb la política institucional que ens governa. La qual ha estat protagonista d'un espiral de corrupció i de tenir llaços, sovint familiars o personals, amb grans empreses privades que reben encàrrecs d'obres públiques i amb els peixos grossos del poder financer.
Aquell dia érem milers de persones les que vam anar a intentar aturar el Parlament, per combatre el drama de tantes vides immerses en la misèria, els acomiadaments per les retallades, els suïcidis pels desnonaments, etc. Perquè moltes d'aquestes barbàries s'aproven dins dels murs d'aquest edifici. Per aquest motiu estàvem assenyalant els culpables el 15 de Juny de 2011 i per això mateix, ho tornaríem a fer sense por, perquè legitimem la nostra actuació, i perquè si la gent del carrer, a qui ens afecta tot això, no lluitem, ningú altre ho farà per nosaltres.
Sabem i tenim clar que aquest és un judici polític, una farsa per atemorir a aquelles que decideixen plantar cara i actuar contra els responsables de tanta precarietat. De fet, ens reafirmem al comprovar que l'acció directa contra els poderosos i generar alternatives de vida els molesta, i molt. Per això, i perquè som conscients del poder que podem tenir quan ens organitzem, no ens volem doblegar davant les seves intimidacions i fem una crida a estendre la solidaritat a aquells i aquelles que pateixen la repressió i la violència quotidiana d'aquest sistema econòmic, en les seves infinitats de formes.
Convoquem manifestació el dia 29 de març a Barcelona a les 18:30 a Plaça Catalunya.
SOLIDARITAT AMB TOTES LES REPRESALIADES I AMB AQUELLES QUE LLUITEN!!
La propera vegada que agafin un helicòpter, que sigui per marxar ben lluny i no tornar a molestar!

I was at the Catalan Parliament too…
and I would do it again
On March 31st the court case against the 20 people who are charged with an attempt to block the Catalan Paliament on June 15th 2012 will begin. That day in June, the process of implementing the first round of budget cuts in Catalonia began. Cuts that involved closing public companies, the privatization of health care,as well as cuts in the area of culture, education, etc.
The mobilization “Aturem el Parlament” (“Paralize the Parliament”), took place two weeks after the brutal eviction of Plaza Catalunya (Barcelona), by the riot police Mossos d´Esquadra under the command of Felip Puig. He was the minister of the Interior at that time and is currently the minister of companies and labour. He was also responsible for the police operation that shot Esther Quintana in the eye.
The criminalization by the media (that is funded by the state) and the increase of repression which followed (court cases against people trying to prevent an eviction in the neighbourhood of el Clot, many detentions during the general strikes, absurd fees for people protesting or hanging banners with tape etc), was, and still is, a planned response to try to stop the rise of outrage and the strength of popular demostrations against economic and political power, and other daily injustices (such as patriarchy and racism).
During those days, people organized themselves all over to build and create politics from the streets, as many of us continue to do. The politics we want are based in assemblies, horizontal, self-organized, without leaders; they belong to the people and they are for the people, and clash with the institutional politics which govern us. The same institutional politics and their protagonists are creating a corruption spiral and have relationships, mostly family-based, with private companies (that receive contracts for public constructions) and with high-up people with economic power.
That day we were thousands of people trying to paralyze the Catalan Parliament in order to fight the drama of so many lives embedded in misery, the layoffs due to the cuts, the suicides due to evictions, etc. Because many of these atrocities are approved behind the walls of that building. This is the reason that we were pointing out the guilty ones that 25 of June 2012, and because of this, we would to it again without fear. Because we legitimize our action, and because if we, the people from the street -whom are the most affected-, don´t fight, nobody will do it for us.
We know that this is a political court case, a farce to scare those who decide to stand up and take action against thoseresponsibleforall this precariousness. In fact, we reaffirm our ideals and actions after proving that direct action and the creation of alternatives of life bothers them, a lot. Because of this, and because we are aware of the power we can have when we are organized, we don´t want to bow down to their intimidation. We call for a spread of solidarity for all the ones who suffer daily repression and violence within this economic system, in its infinite shapes.
SOLIDARITY WITH ALL THE REPRESSED AND THOSE WHO FIGHT!!
The next time that they take an helicopter, it should be to go far away, and not come back to bother us.

Repression in Spain. A call for international solidarity
During the last three years Spanish society has witnessed a period of intense social protests against austerity, corruption, unemployment and so on. As in other times in history, the greater and more radicalised the protest the bigger the repression that the state organises against it. Since the general strike in September 2010, a common trend of this repression strategy is been a kind of ‘laissez faire’ in the streets but followed by ´selective´ detentions months later. Police have been literally knocking doors down of those who continuously take part in different actions and demonstrations, and consequently dozens of people have been arrested.
On June the 15th 2011, ten thousand people surrounded the Catalan parliament in Barcelona. That day the government wanted to approve a vast austerity cut in health and education, and the idea was to block politicians from getting into the building. “Inexplicably” the police did not protect some politicians, which caused direct confrontation with protesters, and of course that fact was used by the media as an example of violence against democracy. After that, people were violently dispersed, and the MPs could do their job.
On October the 4th 2011, 22 people were arrested in their homes. They have been accused of a crime against the state, using a law designed for coup leaders and that had never been used before in Spain. They now face a penalty of up to 8 years in jail, whereas some of them have been also accused of different crimes related to other demonstrations. The trial will start in March the 31st 2014 and it is expected to last four days.
There will be a national day of solidarity in Spain on March the 29th with demonstrations in several cities. So we also call for international solidarity.
You can call, email or block different Spanish embassies or institutions. Or you can do whatever you consider appropriate…
“That day we tried to block the Catalan parliament to combat the drama of many lives immersed in poverty, layoffs by cuts, suicides by evictions, etc. Because many of these atrocities are approved behind the walls of that building. We were pointing at the guilty, and because of that we would do it again without fear. We know this is a political trial, a farce to scare those who choose to stand up and take action against those responsible for such precarious living conditions. In fact, we reaffirm it to find that both direct action against the powerful and generate alternative lives bothers them a lot. For this reason, and because we understand the power that we can have as we organise ourselves, we do not want to bow to their intimidation and we make a call to extend solidarity to those suffering the daily repression and violence of this economic system, in its myriad forms”.

"We are all Palestinians"
Some excerpts from the speech by Dr. Peter Slezak, an academic philosopher and member of Independent Australian Jewish Voices, outside the State Library in Melbourne:
"We are here to express our solidarity with the people of Gaza. Their desperate plight today comes on top of a catastrophic humanitarian crisis already caused by 2 years of Israeli blockade. And this is on top of sixty years of Palestinian suffering, their dispossession that An Israeli historian [name unclear - ed] has called ethnic cleansing and a brutal military occupation for forty years."
"We have an obligation to turn our moral concern into meaningful action because it is here in the west that the fate of Palestine is decided. We must find ways to counter the barrage of deceit that prevents people from understanding what is going on and reacting to it as human beings. History is being rewritten even as it happens."
"It is a lie that Israel is defending itself. There are no Palestinian F16 jets bombing Israel."
"The assault on Gaza is not a war but a Cowardly act of terrorism. It is perpetrated by the most sophisticated military force against a defenseless population. The casualty figures are sufficient evidence of this crime against humanity. But this is not how it is presented in our media or by our own politicians who endlessly uncritically repeat the official lies of Israeli propaganda. Under the guise of balance the victims are blamed for their suffering and they have no voice and the world stands by doing nothing. "
"It is also a lie, endlessly repeated by our media and politicians, that Hamas does not want to negotiate. The record is clear. Israel has rebuffed serious proposals because it would have to make just concessions to the Palestinians."
"It is also a lie, endlessly repeated by our media and politicians, that Israel had no choice but to launch this assault. Israel had a clear choice. They could have preserved the effective ceasefire that they, the Israelis, violated."
"It is also a lie, perhaps the main lie that is being repeated, that Israel is attacking Gaza to stop rockets. You could learn this from the official website of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On November 4 Israel violated the ceasefire that had held for six months according to the Israeli Defence Force website and the ceasefire was protecting Israeli citizens from rockets, and there are emails from the citizens of Sherdot clearly understand. The official Israeli website shows that Hamas launched missiles in retaliation for Israeli attacks, but on December 27, the very day that Israel launched its savage bombardment the Foreign Ministry changed its website, removing the charts giving the numbers of rockets and mortars fired from Gaza. Off course these charts revealed the near total cessation of rocket fire during the truce and they provide striking evidence of Hamas's good faith and considerable restraint in the face of a blockade."
"The former High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson, described the blockade as the destruction of a civilization, and this was before the bombing. That one Israeli military Officer reported in the press yesterday said that it makes Gaza look like it was bombed for years not for weeks....."
"We must ask ourselves how its possible for our own respectable media and our politicians to reverse the truth and portray Israel as the victim....."
"What we are up against is not just the bias but a kind of ignorance, a culpable blameworthy ignorance. Its a kind of psychological aberration or deviance. Its a moral blindness that fails to notice the gross imbalance in suffering. Israeli violence is not disproportionate, it is barbaric."
"I am here today because I share a motivation with many Jews around the world. My 83 year old mother is a survivor of the Nazi concentration camp - Auschwitz. I grew up with her question 'Why didn't anyone help the Jews?', 'Why didn't anyone else care? and why did the world allow it to happen?'. These are the same questions we must ask today about the crimes against Palestinians."
"I am here because the state of Israel does not represent all Jews. If we have learnt the real meaning of the slogan 'Never again' from the Second World War, we can't remain silent when crimes are being committed in our name. We must universalize the tragedy to include others in our moral universe and recognize our shared humanity with the Palestinian. This a lesson from a wonderful and famous Palestinian, Edward Said, who was a great moral hero and a leader."
"Let me wind up with one final remark. The Nazis made Jews wear a yellow Star of David to stigmatize them and persecute them, and I grew up with an immensely moving image of other people, not Jews, like the King of Denmark and other people who showed their humanity by wearing the yellow star to symbolize their solidarity with the Jewish victims of persecution. This is the spirit in which I am wearing a Palestinian badge today and the spirit in which many Jews and others around the world send to the Palestinians."
"....right now we are all Palestinians".
Third Melbourne protest for the Palestinians of Gaza against the brutal attack by Israel - 18 Jan 2009
Organisers estimated 12,000 people marched in the Melbourne Protest against Israel's attack on the Palestinian Gaza territory.

The Postcard
A postally unused Photochromie Series postcard that was published by D & N. The card, which was printed in Germany, has a divided back.
There are many postcards showing Dutch women and girls on this photostream, and they are almost invariably shown knitting.
Where boys are also present, they are usually shown wearing very baggy trousers and smoking a pipe, which would certainly not be allowed today.
Volendam
Volendam is a small town in North Holland in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Edam-Volendam. The town has about 22,000 inhabitants (November 2007), and is twinned with Coventry in the UK.
Originally, Volendam was the location of the harbour of the nearby Edam. However in 1357, the inhabitants of Edam dug a shorter canal to the Zuiderzee with its own separate harbour.
This removed the need for Volendam's original harbour, which was then dammed and used for land reclamation. Farmers and local fishermen settled there, forming the new community of Volendam, which literally meant 'Filled dam'.
In the early part of the 20th. century Volendam became an artists' retreat, with both Picasso and Renoir spending time there.
The majority of the population belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, which is deeply connected to the village culture. Historically, many missionaries and bishops grew up in Volendam. Today there is the chapel of Our Lady of the Water, which is located in a village park.
The Volendam Café Fire
The Volendam New Year's café fire occurred during the 2000–2001 New Year's night. The fire began early on New Year's Day 2001 and caused the death of 14 young people. 241 people were admitted to hospital, 200 of whom suffered serious burns.
The fire took place in a building that housed three bars. On New Year's Eve it was packed with more than 350 young people between 13 and 22 years of age when a short blaze happened in the café De Hemel ("Heaven") which was located on the top floor after a sparkler hit Christmas decorations that hung from the ceiling. The temperature in the room reached 400 °C (752 °F). Many of the partygoers were wearing highly flammable synthetic fabrics which clung to their flesh as they melted and burned.
There was great panic and the heat, lack of oxygen and people falling over each other made escaping extremely difficult. There also were bars in front of the windows and there were too few emergency exits, all of which contributed to the high number of injuries.
Survivors stated that shortly after the fire began, all the lights went out, contributing to the panic.
The first report reached the Amsterdam ambulance service at 00:38 local time on the 1st. January. The first fire engine arrived at 00:46.
Mayor Frank IJsselmuiden claimed that the crowd had panicked because all but one of the emergency exits were blocked.
Many of those injured were hurt when they smashed windows and leapt from third and second floor windows in an attempt to escape the fire. Others including 53 injured individuals were admitted due to burns, with some being flown to special burns units in Belgium and Germany.
Investigation Into the Fire
The fire was initially investigated intensively by media and politicians. New rules were introduced for decorations in cafés, nightclubs and other venues. The owner and managers of the building were indicted for culpability.
An inquiry showed that the owner Jan Veerman had been negligent in providing escape routes, as well as failing to soak the Christmas decorations with a fire-resistant substance. Also there were too many people in the building at the time of the incident.
The owner was given a conditional prison sentence and community service. As a result of the inquiry Mayor of Edam-Volendam Frank IJsselmuiden and alderman Wim Visscher resigned their positions.
Tourism in Volendam
Volendam is a popular tourist destination. It is well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents.
The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters (although there are believed to be fewer than 50 women now wearing the costume as part of their daily lives, most of them elderly).
There is a regular ferry connection to Marken, a peninsula close by.
Volendam also features a small museum about its history and clothing style, and visitors can have their pictures taken in traditional Dutch costumes.
Volendam on Film
Volendam was a shooting location in Vikas Bahl's 2014 Bollywood film, Queen. The actors established an Indian food shop called Rani's Gol Gappa.
The owner was an Italian, Marco Canadea, as Marcello. The role of Queen was played by Indian actress Kangana Ranaut.
The film follows the story of Rani Mehra, a diffident Punjabi girl from New Delhi who embarks on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam by herself after her fiancé calls off their wedding.
Queen is cited as a ground-breaking and an influential feminist film by many scholars. Over the years, the film has built a strong cult following. It was named as one of the best films of the decade (2010's) by multiple publications such as Paste and Film Companion.
Several publications such as O, The Oprah Magazine, and Cosmopolitan have named it as one of the best films of Indian Cinema. Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express named Queen as one of the 75 finest and most iconic films made in India in the last 70 years.
Music in Volendam
Volendam is well known for its distinctive music, which is called Palingsound (literally "Eel Sound") in reference to Volendam's status as fishing village.
During the 1960's, the local group The Cats was a very popular group in the Netherlands and abroad.
Another band from Volendam was BZN, which became popular in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In 1995 BZN performed a duet with the ten-year-old Jan Smit, who quickly became a celebrity in his own right.
The popular music groups 3JS and Nick & Simon are famously from Volendam; their members have all participated in local musical performances through the years.
El lunes 25 de noviembre es el Día Internacional contra la violencia machista y a lo largo y ancho del mundo se celebrarán masivas manifestaciones en respuesta a esta lacra. Como ya hemos hecho en multitud de ocasiones -desde el 8 de marzo, pasando por las movilizaciones masivas contra la justicia patriarcal que amparó a “la Manada” y, ahora a la “Manada de Manresa”- en el Estado español volveremos a exigir el fin de la violencia machista que año tras año nos explota, oprime, humilla y asesina.
No tenemos miedo, sí tenemos rabia
La fuerza arrolladora que ha demostrado el movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres trabajadoras y jóvenes es imparable y sigue siendo un ejemplo muy poderoso. Por eso no es ninguna casualidad que la derecha franquista -PP, Ciudadanos y Vox- ataque e intente desprestigiar la lucha que millones de mujeres, junto con nuestros compañeros, estamos protagonizando.
En el Estado español estas manifestaciones del 25 de noviembre se celebrarán tras las elecciones generales del pasado 10-N, cuyos resultados vuelven a poner encima de la mesa una cuestión fundamental: que la lucha de la clase trabajadora y la juventud en defensa de nuestros derechos y contra los y las culpables de nuestra opresión es nuestra mayor fuerza. Desde Libres y Combativas no minimizamos ni restamos importancia al avance electoral de la extrema derecha de Vox, pero sí queremos resaltar que el bloque reaccionario ha vuelto a fracasar en su objetivo de hacerse con el Gobierno y que la derecha tiene enormes dificultades para seguir ganando apoyos: pierden casi 900.000 votos respecto a las elecciones del 28A.
La derecha y la extrema derecha son una amenaza muy real para todos los derechos que hemos conquistado en base a la movilización y a la lucha en las calles. Por eso sabemos, que la única forma de derrotar la ofensiva que representan es precisamente levantando una izquierda combativa en las calles, que defienda un feminismo revolucionario y de combate, un ecologismo anticapitalista, el fin de los recortes en la educación y la sanidad, el fin de la precariedad y la explotación, que garantice un sistema de pensiones público y digno… todas las reivindicaciones que durante años hemos exigido en las calles.
Conseguir todas estas reivindicaciones no es ninguna utopía. El próximo gobierno de coalición entre el PSOE y Unidas Podemos ha sido recibido por amplios sectores de la juventud y la clase trabajadora como una oportunidad para ello. Eso supone confrontar con los grandes poderes económicos, con los bancos, con la Iglesia Católica y los planes de austeridad de la Unión Europea. No queremos palabras, queremos hechos. Ya tenemos la experiencia de los últimos meses de gobierno del PSOE, que a pesar de considerarse el "gobierno más feminista de la historia", seguía respetando, entre muchas otras cosas, la justicia franquista y patriarcal que deja en libertad a violadores y culpa a las víctimas. No echamos a Rajoy de la Moncloa ni hemos derrotado a la derecha en las urnas dos veces para que todo siga igual. ¡La lucha debe continuar!
Somos feministas y anticapitalistas
La batalla contra la violencia machista es la lucha contra el sistema capitalista que la genera. Es la lucha contra la cosificación y la mercantilización de nuestros cuerpos, contra la trata, los vientres de alquiler, la prostitución y la pornografía. Es la lucha por unos salarios justos y unos puestos de trabajo dignos. Por una educación sexual inclusiva en los centros educativos para educar en el respeto, la igualdad y la inclusión. Contra la LGTBIfobia y la moral podrida de la Iglesia Católica.
El próximo 25 de noviembre tomaremos las calles de nuevo por todo ello. Porque es en las calles donde venceremos a este sistema y construiremos una sociedad nueva donde nadie conozca la explotación, la injusticia ni la miseria.
¡Únete a Libres y Combativas!
¡El 25N todas y todos a las calles contra la violencia machista!
..................................................Monday, November 25 is International Day against sexist violence and massive demonstrations will be held throughout the world in response to this scourge. As we have done on many occasions - from March 8, through the massive mobilizations against patriarchal justice that protected “La Manada” and, now to “Manada de Manresa” - in the Spanish State we will demand the end of the macho violence that year after year exploits us, oppresses, humiliates and murders.
We are not afraid, we are angry
The overwhelming force demonstrated by the movement for the rights of working women and youth is unstoppable and remains a very powerful example. That is why it is no accident that the Francoist right -PP, Citizens and Vox- attack and try to discredit the struggle that millions of women, along with our partners, are leading.
In the Spanish State, these demonstrations on November 25 will be held after the general elections of the past 10-N, whose results once again put a fundamental issue on the table: that the struggle of the working class and youth in defense of our rights and against those guilty of our oppression is our greatest strength. From Free and Combative we do not minimize or downplay the electoral progress of the extreme right of Vox, but we do want to highlight that the reactionary bloc has failed again in its objective of seizing the Government and that the right has enormous difficulties to continue gaining support : they lose almost 900,000 votes regarding the 28A elections.
The right and the extreme right are a very real threat to all the rights we have won based on mobilization and street fighting. That is why we know that the only way to defeat the offensive they represent is precisely by raising a combative left in the streets, defending a revolutionary and combat feminism, an anti-capitalist ecology, the end of cuts in education and health, the end of precariousness and exploitation, which guarantees a public and dignified pension system ... all the demands we have demanded for years on the streets.
Getting all these claims is no utopia. The next coalition government between the PSOE and United We have been received by broad sectors of youth and the working class as an opportunity for this. That means confronting the great economic powers, the banks, the Catholic Church and the austerity plans of the European Union. We don't want words, we want facts. We already have the experience of the last months of the PSOE government, which despite being considered the "most feminist government in history", continued to respect, among many other things, the Franco and patriarchal justice that frees rapists and blames the victims. We do not throw Rajoy de la Moncloa nor have we defeated right at the polls twice so that everything remains the same. The fight must continue!
We are feminists and anti-capitalists
The battle against sexist violence is the fight against the capitalist system that generates it. It is the fight against the reification and commodification of our bodies, against trafficking, rent bellies, prostitution and pornography. It is the fight for fair wages and decent jobs. For an inclusive sexual education in educational centers to educate in respect, equality and inclusion. Against LGBTIphobia and the rotten morals of the Catholic Church.
On November 25 we will take the streets again for all this. Because it is in the streets where we will overcome this system and build a new society where no one knows exploitation, injustice or misery.
Join Free and Combative!
The 25N all and everyone on the streets against sexist violence!

Inside the Union Carbide pesticide factory scene of the world's worst industrial disaster.
Interior shot of the factory before it was stripped of some of its most valuable components and subsequently abandoned to the elements.
The factory remains ruined and abandoned to this day and there are approximately 350 Metric tonnes of highly toxic waste stored above ground.
Of greater concern are the many thousands of tonnes of toxic waste that were buried, in an untreated state, on the site.
Rain water runs through his waste, along with the remains of the abandoned solar evaporation ponds, and leaches toxic chemicals in to the local ground water aquifer.
The toxic plume has now spread for miles from the factory and many thousands of impoverished people have been using it, for decades, as their primary water supply.

Vitraux, Cathedralis SS Michaelis et Gudulae
In 1370, according to the legend, holy communion wafers began to bleed after being stabbed with daggers by the Jews of Brabant at the synagogue in Brussels. The remains of the hosts were venerated for centuries as the Miraculous Sacrament (Sacrement du Miracle/Sacrament van Mirakel).
It is a fact that in May 1370 some six Jews living in Brussels and Leuven were burnt at the stake after being accused of the theft and desecration of the Blessed Sacrament (the so called ‘Blood Libel’). We know that Jewish property was confiscated, and that from the very beginning it was believed that the holy hosts had actually bled. Later on, in the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries, it was asserted that in 1370 all Jews had been expelled forever from the Duchy of Brabant.
The guilt of the Jews was never established. On the contrary, it has never even been proven that the hosts had in fact been desecrated. Belief in the alleged miracle was the only justification for executing the Jews. Accusing the Jews lent credibility to the miracle. Moreover, the alleged miracle offered a sought-after opportunity to dispose of the Jews. For the faithful the ‘miracle’ served as a material sign and proof of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Similar ‘Eucharistic Miracles’ connected with the presumed culpability of the Jews occurred elsewhere as well during the Middle Ages. Traces of red mildew on holy wafers were taken for traces of blood, the blood of Christ.
The legend of the Miraculous Sacrament is presented in many works of art in the cathedral. Especially to be mentioned are the XVIth century stained glass windows in the Sacrament chapel, which today holds the Cathedral treasury, where the reliquaries for the Miraculous Sacrament from different periods are on display. There are also the XVIIIth century tapestries in the choir, but these are not normally on display. Further, note the impressive series of fifteen XIXth century stained glass windows in the cathedral aisles. The last five windows of the northern aisle, near the chapel of the Miraculous Sacrament, portray the devotion to the Miraculous Sacrament from about 1436 till 1870. The first ten windows, eight in the southern aisle, starting at the front, and two in the rear of the northern aisle, represent the legend as it was handed down in Brussels since the middle of the XVth century. The legend runs as follows.
In autumn 1369 a prominent Jew from Enghien took the initiative of bribing a Jewish convert to Christianity to steal communion wafers, in order to desecrate them. Shortly afterwards he was murdered (windows 1-3). His widow passed the hosts to the Jews in Brussels, who stabbed them with daggers in their synagogue on Good Friday 1370. The sacred hosts began to bleed (windows 4 and 5). A Jewess who had converted to Christianity was bribed to conceal the hosts among the Jews of Cologne. But she repented and confessed the whole story to the rector of the “St. Mary’s Chapel” church in Brussels, giving him the miraculous hosts (windows 6-7). Based on the testimony of the Jewess (window 8) and after being judged by the Duke of Brabant the Jews were publicly burnt at the stake. The remaining Jews were expelled by the Duke from the Duchy of Brabant and their property confiscated (window 9). The miraculous sacrament was subsequently transferred in procession to the chapter church of St. Gudula (window 10).
The relic of the Miraculous Sacrament played a significant rôle as a national symbol for the Catholic identity of the country. The veneration of the relic served in public as a support for the struggle against Jews, Protestants and liberals. Charles V and the Habsburg family gave the XVIth century stained glass windows of the chapel of the Miraculous Sacrament. In the XVIIth century, Archdukes Albert and Isabella enriched the chapel with numerous gifts. Albert and Isabella are buried in front of the altar of the Miraculous Sacrament. Leopold I and Leopold II, the first Belgian kings, offered the first two XIXth century stained glass windows in the southern aisle. The other windows were given by the Belgian nobility.
After 1870 the relic was no longer of national significance. The local devotion to the Miraculous Sacrament however survived up to the Second World War. Moreover, the stained glass windows, paintings and tapestries kept the alleged history of the ‘blood libel’ alive. Only after the tragedy of the Holocaust, and under the influence of a more enlightened mentality, was a critical attitude with regard to this anti-Jewish medieval legend adopted in Catholic circles.

JO TAMBÉ ESTAVA AL PARLAMENT... I HO TORNARIA A FER
El dia 31 de març comença el judici contra les 20 persones imputades per l’intent de bloqueig del Parlament del 15 de Juny del 2011. Aquell dia s'anaven a iniciar el tràmits per aprovar els pressupostos amb el primer paquet de retallades a Catalunya, que va propiciar el tancament d'empreses públiques, la privatització de la sanitat, les retallades al sector de la cultura, educació, etc.
La mobilització “Aturem el Parlament” va succeir dues setmanes després del brutal desallotjament de la Plaça Catalunya a mans dels antidisturbis dels Mossos d'Esquadra a les ordres del que era conseller d'Interior i ara ho és d'Empresa i Ocupació, Felip Puig. També responsable del dispositiu policial que va disparar contra l'ull d'Esther Quintana.
La criminalització per part de la premsa subvencionada pel Govern i l'escalada repressiva que va venir després (judicis contra persones que volien impedir un desnonament al Clot, nombroses detencions a les vagues generals, multes absurdes per les persones que es manifestaven o per enganxar cartells, etc), va ser i és encara, una resposta planejada per procurar frenar l'augment de la indignació i de la força de les protestes populars contra el poder polític, econòmic i altres injustícies quotidianes, com el patriarcat i el racisme.
Durant aquells dies, la gent es va organitzar arreu per construir política des del carrer, com moltes seguim fent. La política que volem és assembleària, horitzontal, autogestionada, sense representants, és del poble i per al poble, i xoca amb la política institucional que ens governa. La qual ha estat protagonista d'un espiral de corrupció i de tenir llaços, sovint familiars o personals, amb grans empreses privades que reben encàrrecs d'obres públiques i amb els peixos grossos del poder financer.
Aquell dia érem milers de persones les que vam anar a intentar aturar el Parlament, per combatre el drama de tantes vides immerses en la misèria, els acomiadaments per les retallades, els suïcidis pels desnonaments, etc. Perquè moltes d'aquestes barbàries s'aproven dins dels murs d'aquest edifici. Per aquest motiu estàvem assenyalant els culpables el 15 de Juny de 2011 i per això mateix, ho tornaríem a fer sense por, perquè legitimem la nostra actuació, i perquè si la gent del carrer, a qui ens afecta tot això, no lluitem, ningú altre ho farà per nosaltres.
Sabem i tenim clar que aquest és un judici polític, una farsa per atemorir a aquelles que decideixen plantar cara i actuar contra els responsables de tanta precarietat. De fet, ens reafirmem al comprovar que l'acció directa contra els poderosos i generar alternatives de vida els molesta, i molt. Per això, i perquè som conscients del poder que podem tenir quan ens organitzem, no ens volem doblegar davant les seves intimidacions i fem una crida a estendre la solidaritat a aquells i aquelles que pateixen la repressió i la violència quotidiana d'aquest sistema econòmic, en les seves infinitats de formes.
Convoquem manifestació el dia 29 de març a Barcelona a les 18:30 a Plaça Catalunya.

I was at the Catalan Parliament too…
and I would do it again
On March 31st the court case against the 20 people who are charged with an attempt to block the Catalan Paliament on June 15th 2012 will begin. That day in June, the process of implementing the first round of budget cuts in Catalonia began. Cuts that involved closing public companies, the privatization of health care,as well as cuts in the area of culture, education, etc.
The mobilization “Aturem el Parlament” (“Paralize the Parliament”), took place two weeks after the brutal eviction of Plaza Catalunya (Barcelona), by the riot police Mossos d´Esquadra under the command of Felip Puig. He was the minister of the Interior at that time and is currently the minister of companies and labour. He was also responsible for the police operation that shot Esther Quintana in the eye.
The criminalization by the media (that is funded by the state) and the increase of repression which followed (court cases against people trying to prevent an eviction in the neighbourhood of el Clot, many detentions during the general strikes, absurd fees for people protesting or hanging banners with tape etc), was, and still is, a planned response to try to stop the rise of outrage and the strength of popular demostrations against economic and political power, and other daily injustices (such as patriarchy and racism).
During those days, people organized themselves all over to build and create politics from the streets, as many of us continue to do. The politics we want are based in assemblies, horizontal, self-organized, without leaders; they belong to the people and they are for the people, and clash with the institutional politics which govern us. The same institutional politics and their protagonists are creating a corruption spiral and have relationships, mostly family-based, with private companies (that receive contracts for public constructions) and with high-up people with economic power.
That day we were thousands of people trying to paralyze the Catalan Parliament in order to fight the drama of so many lives embedded in misery, the layoffs due to the cuts, the suicides due to evictions, etc. Because many of these atrocities are approved behind the walls of that building. This is the reason that we were pointing out the guilty ones that 25 of June 2012, and because of this, we would to it again without fear. Because we legitimize our action, and because if we, the people from the street -whom are the most affected-, don´t fight, nobody will do it for us.
We know that this is a political court case, a farce to scare those who decide to stand up and take action against thoseresponsibleforall this precariousness. In fact, we reaffirm our ideals and actions after proving that direct action and the creation of alternatives of life bothers them, a lot. Because of this, and because we are aware of the power we can have when we are organized, we don´t want to bow down to their intimidation. We call for a spread of solidarity for all the ones who suffer daily repression and violence within this economic system, in its infinite shapes.
SOLIDARITY WITH ALL THE REPRESSED AND THOSE WHO FIGHT!!
The next time that they take an helicopter, it should be to go far away, and not come back to bother us.

Repression in Spain. A call for international solidarity
During the last three years Spanish society has witnessed a period of intense social protests against austerity, corruption, unemployment and so on. As in other times in history, the greater and more radicalised the protest the bigger the repression that the state organises against it. Since the general strike in September 2010, a common trend of this repression strategy is been a kind of ‘laissez faire’ in the streets but followed by ´selective´ detentions months later. Police have been literally knocking doors down of those who continuously take part in different actions and demonstrations, and consequently dozens of people have been arrested.
On June the 15th 2011, ten thousand people surrounded the Catalan parliament in Barcelona. That day the government wanted to approve a vast austerity cut in health and education, and the idea was to block politicians from getting into the building. “Inexplicably” the police did not protect some politicians, which caused direct confrontation with protesters, and of course that fact was used by the media as an example of violence against democracy. After that, people were violently dispersed, and the MPs could do their job.
On October the 4th 2011, 22 people were arrested in their homes. They have been accused of a crime against the state, using a law designed for coup leaders and that had never been used before in Spain. They now face a penalty of up to 8 years in jail, whereas some of them have been also accused of different crimes related to other demonstrations. The trial will start in March the 31st 2014 and it is expected to last four days.
There will be a national day of solidarity in Spain on March the 29th with demonstrations in several cities. So we also call for international solidarity.
You can call, email or block different Spanish embassies or institutions. Or you can do whatever you consider appropriate…

Inside the Union Carbide pesticide factory scene of the world's worst industrial disaster.
Interior shot of the factory before it was stripped of some of its most valuable components and subsequently abandoned to the elements.
The factory remains ruined and abandoned to this day and there are approximately 350 Metric tonnes of highly toxic waste stored above ground.
Of greater concern are the many thousands of tonnes of toxic waste that were buried, in an untreated state, on the site.
Rain water runs through his waste, along with the remains of the abandoned solar evaporation ponds, and leaches toxic chemicals in to the local ground water aquifer.
The toxic plume has now spread for miles from the factory and many thousands of impoverished people have been using it, for decades, as their primary water supply.

JO TAMBÉ ESTAVA AL PARLAMENT... I HO TORNARIA A FER
El dia 31 de març comença el judici contra les 20 persones imputades per l’intent de bloqueig del Parlament del 15 de Juny del 2011. Aquell dia s'anaven a iniciar el tràmits per aprovar els pressupostos amb el primer paquet de retallades a Catalunya, que va propiciar el tancament d'empreses públiques, la privatització de la sanitat, les retallades al sector de la cultura, educació, etc.
La mobilització “Aturem el Parlament” va succeir dues setmanes després del brutal desallotjament de la Plaça Catalunya a mans dels antidisturbis dels Mossos d'Esquadra a les ordres del que era conseller d'Interior i ara ho és d'Empresa i Ocupació, Felip Puig. També responsable del dispositiu policial que va disparar contra l'ull d'Esther Quintana.
La criminalització per part de la premsa subvencionada pel Govern i l'escalada repressiva que va venir després (judicis contra persones que volien impedir un desnonament al Clot, nombroses detencions a les vagues generals, multes absurdes per les persones que es manifestaven o per enganxar cartells, etc), va ser i és encara, una resposta planejada per procurar frenar l'augment de la indignació i de la força de les protestes populars contra el poder polític, econòmic i altres injustícies quotidianes, com el patriarcat i el racisme.

Todavia yo siento tus caricias y tu respiración sobre mi piel, no hay quien me haga olvidar tu sonrisa, y sigo amándote hoy más que ayer. soñando con volverte a ver. cada día que pasa , mas me mata tu ausencia y pierdo la fe, Quisiera poder olvidarme de ti, con otra sacarte por siempre de mí, decirte a la cara que no me haces falta para poder vivir. quisiera borrarte de mi corazón, quitar de mi boca tu dulce sabor no echarte de menos al llegar la noche, y sin reproches resignarme a tu adiós, mas cuando creo que ya te he olvidado descubro que aun te amo., Se que soy culpable de mi suerte, y que mi sufrimiento no te hará volver en mi otra vez creer, te hice llorar y me arrepiento, amor cuanto lo siento, si no te vuelvo a ver, no sobreviviré. Cada día que pasa, más me mata tu ausencia y pierdo la fe, Quisiera poder olvidarme de ti, con otra sacarte por siempre de mí, decirte a la cara que no me haces falta para poder vivir., quisiera borrarte de mi corazón, quitar de mi boca tu dulce sabor, no echarte de menos al llegar la noche, y sin reproche, resignarme a tu adiós. pero es que aun te amo. Quisiera poder olvidarme de ti, con otra sacarte por siempre de mí, decirte a la cara que no me haces falta para poder vivir. quisiera borrarte de mi corazón, quitar de mi boca tu dulce sabor, no echarte de menos al llegar la noche, y sin reproche, resignarme a tu adiós. ♫♫
► Quisiera poder olvidarme de ti - Luis Fonsi ♪
Standing in the narrow, long bathroom made me feel claustrophobic. The room was odd shaped, more like a hallway than a bathroom. There had been a remodel done recently, and all of the hardware shone like scattered sequins. Tasteful mirrors hung across the walls, attempting to make the hallway bathroom feel more spacious by reflectively expanding the awkward room. This is a trick you get from reading interior design books and watching decorating shows, but in reality there is only so much you can do to a make a four foot wide space feel cavernous.
Not only was the room tiny, it was also full of people. My closest friends wearing a color they would never choose for themselves. But I had let them choose the silhouettes, so I assured myself that they would wear the clothes again. A little white lie we tell ourselves to help ease our culpability. All of them accepted the lie with good grace, and they smilingly agreed with me while secretly plotting the fastest route to the Goodwill where they could fling the magenta garments out the car window, only slowing fractionally.
I pictured them flipping off the clothing, their hands waving gleefully out of their car windows as they sped away, their transmissions straining and motors roaring under the sudden and dramatic acceleration. They would speed away like they would after a drunken one night stand with the neighborhood hobo - shame filled and mortified to be seen in such a state. But they wore the dresses because I chose magenta, and that is just what friends do in this sort of situation.
The men at the donation station would smile knowingly at each other as they flung the dress into a bin. A week later the dress would be priced, labeled, hung, and some unfortunate teenager would get it to wear to prom. Her mother would assure her that no one would know that it was used. Another white lie passed on.
In the bathroom, my mother turned to me suddenly, her face earnest and loving. "You don't have to do this," she said. "We can leave right now, and I will never hold it against you. I just want you to know that you don't have to do this, and I love you."
Her father had told her the same thing minutes before her wedding. Even though she was pregnant, he assured her that she didn't have to get married, and that he would love and support her regardless. This had meant a great deal to my mother, and it was a gift that she wanted to pass on to me. We both new I wouldn't leave, but perhaps she had felt a moment of trepidation and considered taking her father up on his offer. I had been there with her in that moment, growing bones and nerves as she stood jittering before her vows. Here we were again, together right before our marriages.
Her father was dead now, so she was the one to give me the chance to run. I must admit that I briefly considered it. Knowing I could leave still loved made it easier to leave that tiny, awkward bathroom and walk down the aisle. Maybe she had felt a lessening of the tightness in her belly, and I would have felt it, too, a trembling message sent through the umbilical cord. Maybe the offer helped her put one foot in front of the other and continue down the path that built our family.
When my daughter gets married, I will pass on the same gift. Maybe she will not follow the previous generations and instead run like hell. Regardless, she will be loved. I know that just having the choice changes the world and makes the path easier and more sure.
I left the bathroom with my pink clad guard and approached the man my mother had chosen not to flee. My father smiled at me mildly and said "Let's do this."
White lies will be told, choices will be made, and families will be built.

Tratando de usar luz natural, Este es uno de mis primeros experimentos con luz natural.
También estoy tratando de entender photoshop y creo que vamos conociendonos mejor, ya no me siento tan culpable de usarlo :)

Trying to use natural light, this is one of my first experiments with natural light.
I am trying also to understand photoshop and I think we know better each other, I'm not feel guilty of using it : ).. No more.. but is not easy!
He decidido subir ésta foto porque cuando la hice me impactó la escena, me impactó el personaje.
El va desaliñado y como si no hubiera visto una ducha en meses, sin embargo limpia cuidadosamente la lechuga con la que se preparará una ensalada........que paradoja no?
Pues no....no lo es, que limpie su comida de esa forma es un claro signo de que ha recibido la suficiente educación como para que sepa que si no lo hace puede enfermar gravemente.
Su aspecto exterior es una mera circunstancia de la vida , quizas del destino,quizas de una mala jugada o una enfermedad mental.
El vagabundo de mi pueblo se llama Pepe, si........obviamente no es el único, pero allí los conocemos a todos por su nombre......a lo que iba: este hombre era acomodador de la sala de cine y vivía bien .
Nuestros mayores siempre cuentan que Pepe era el galán de la ciudad y que todas las chicas le presumían , cosa que no dudo porque hoy en día se adivina una cara bonita debajo de toda esa piel curtida por la intemperie.
Hoy Pepe no es el hombre que algún día fué por culpa de una enfermedad, la culpable de que la familia desistiera de convivir con él ó viceversa, da igual:
Síndrome de Diógenes
Pero más allá de todo es un excelente tipo, y el día que se muera se paralizará la ciudad para ir a su velatorio.
A veces cuesta un poco no dejarse dominar por la primera impresión, pero nunca es tarde para aprender a hacerlo.
El Facebook de Pepe: www.facebook.com/search/?q=pepe+alta+gracia&init=quic...
I have decided to upload this photo because when I did it , the scene shocked me, the personage too
He looks as if he had not seen a shower in months, nevertheless clean carefully the lettuce with which he will prepare a salad to eat ........ is a paradox isn't it?
Well, is not .... it is not because cleans his meal of this form it is a clear sign that it has received the sufficient education as so that it is known that if it does not do it it can fall ill seriously.
His exterior aspect is a mere circumstance of the life, perhaps of the destination, perhaps of a bad move or a mental illness.
The name of the vagabond of my town is Pepe, ........ obviously it is not the only one, but there we meet all of them for his name ...... to what I was going: this man was an usher of the room of cinema and he was living well.
Our major they always tell that Pepe was the lady's man of the city and that all the girls were presuming him, thing that I do not doubt because nowadays clairvoyant a nice face under all this skin tanned by the outdoors.
Today Pepe is not the man that any day was through the fault of an illness, the culprit of that the family was desisting from coexisting with ó vice versa, it does not matter:
Syndrome of Diógenes
But beyond everything it is an excellent guy, and the day that dies will paralyze the city to go to his wake.
Sometimes it is difficult not to allow to dominate a little for firstly impression, but it is never late to learn how to do it.

Parte de una ilustración que hice para Tu Fanzine Culpable 2, por Creaciones PPTV. Mi canción (placer) culpable lo tendrán que adivinar, aunque igual es e-vidente. En la viñeta de la izquierda está Florencia Violencia y Maxi Cat A.K.A Cabros Culiaos.
The Calcutta Test was originally planned as the final match of the India-Pakistan series. But once the idea of the Asian Championship was accepted, it became the new tournament's inaugural game. It drew immense crowds, but ended in near silence, watched by a few officials, VIPs, journalists and police, after the crowd was forcibly expelled because of a riot.
In fact, there were two riots. The first, the previous afternoon, began when Tendulkar was run out. Then, on the last morning, with India on the brink of defeat at 231 for nine, spectators started burning newspapers in the stands and hurled stones, fruit and plastic bottles on to the field. The match was held up for over three hours as about 65,000 people were removed by police and security men. The trouble was unpleasantly reminiscent of the riot which ended India's World Cup semi-final at Calcutta in March 1996. Then Sri Lanka were awarded the game by default. This time, play eventually resumed; Pakistan swiftly claimed the last wicket to complete victory. But the incident deeply embarrassed the Calcutta authorities.
Miraculously, no one was reported killed, and the only person injured appeared to be a member of the ground staff, hit on the ankle by a stone. The crowd's anger was still concentrated on Tendulkar's run-out, but there was little viciousness in the riot; it was born of disappointment rather than anti-Pakistan feeling. There was no sign of violence outside the ground.
This had been the best-attended Test in history. For the first four days, the ground was full. Though there are no official attendance figures at Calcutta, that is now believed to mean about 100,000 people. On the last day, the ground was about two-thirds full even though only four wickets were left to fall, suggesting a total attendance of around 465,000.
Yet when the game resumed after the trouble - only ten balls were needed for Pakistan to wrap up victory - the paying spectators had gone, leaving perhaps just 200 people and creating an atmosphere even deader than the average county game. One well-dressed couple resisted the original attempts to expel them from the ground. They stayed in their seats, asserting their right to remain, and were still there just as play was about to restart. Then around 50 police descended on them and manhandled them out of the stadium.
Pakistan's win was an extraordinary achievement. On the opening day, they elected to bat on a seaming pitch, and collapsed to 26 for six in nine overs from Srinath and Prasad. Moin Khan resisted stubbornly for three and a half hours to repair the damage, partnered by Salim Malik and Wasim Akram. They pushed the score up to 185 - enough for one batting point, under the bonus point system being employed; India must have expected far more at 147 for two in reply. But they wilted so swiftly that they managed only 223, just 38 runs ahead, and two short of a second batting point. Their downfall began when the fiery Shoaib Akhtar bowled Dravid and Tendulkar with successive balls. Ramesh, fast becoming a pillar of the Indian batting, finally succumbed to Wasim for 79; his subsequent dissent earning him a suspended one-match ban.
The third day belonged to two men who recorded career-best Test performances - Saeed Anwar and Srinath. Later, referee Cammie Smith gave them the match award jointly. Anwar became the third Pakistani to carry his bat through a Test innnings, following father and son Nazar Mohammed and Mudassar Nazar. He batted for seven and a half hours, hit 23 fours and a six, and scored 188 - single-handedly beating his team's previous innings, when he mad a duck, and contributing 60 per cent of a total of 316. It was also the highest Test score by a Pakistani on Indian soil. His only significant ally was Yousuf Youhana, who helped him add 115 in 139 minutes. But after Srinath dismissed Youhana and Shahid Afridi with successive deliveries, Pakistan declined. Srinath took six in nine overs with the new ball, finishing with eight for 86, and 13 for 132 in the match.
That left India to chase 279. They had a good start when Ramesh and Laxman opened with 108. But after these two had departed, there occurred the incident which wrecked India's chances - and Eden Gardens' reputation. Tendulkar had just taken two runs - incidentally completing 5,000 in Tests - and was returning for a third when substitute Nadeem Khan hit the stumps from deep mid-wicket. Tendulkar had collided with Akhtar, who was waiting for the throw, and failed to ground his bat; third umpire K. T. Francis ruled him out. Angry spectators decided Akhtar was culpable, and threw bottles and rubbish at the Pakistanis. Play was halted for more than an hour, while Tendulkar and ICC president Jagmohan Dalmiya appealed for calm. On resuming, Dravid, his concentration broken, gloved a catch, and Azharrudin also fell soon after passing 6,000 Test runs. By the close, India required 65 for victory, with four wickets in hand. Wasim and Akhtar ended any hopes with three quick strikes, before the riot forced them to wait more than three hours for the last ten balls.

Celeste Morne was a Human female Jedi Master who served the Jedi Covenant as a Shadow, an agency that consisted of Jedi whose identities were erased from the Order's records. She dedicated herself to the Covenant's cause after the loss of her home and family ties in the Great Sith War. In 3963 BBY the Covenant assigned Morne a mission to retrieve the Muur Talisman, an artifact owned generations prior by the Sith Lord Karness Muur that gave the wearer control over the mutant rakghoul creatures.
Furthermore, Morne was tasked to bring fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick to justice. Over the course of her mission, however, she came to doubt Carrick's culpability in the Padawan Massacre of Taris, for which he had been implicated by the members of the First WatchCircle of the Covenant.
As she fought through the obstructions to her mission, including the unexpected outbreak of the Rakghoul Plague on the planet Jebble and her own doubts about Carrick, Morne fell under the possession of the Muur Talisman.
In order to protect the galaxy from herself, Morne allowed Carrick to seal her in Dreypa's Oubliette. She would remain there in stasis until 19 BBY, when the Sith Lord Darth Vader obtained the oubliette and released her.
She emerged haunted by the spirit of Karness Muur and discovered that the Sith ruled the galaxy in the new era she found herself in. Enraged at this discovery, Morne dueled Vader, but after being defeated used the Muur Talisman to force him to retreat.
For approximately nineteen years afterward she lived secluded on a desolate moon, until she was visited by a company of elite stormtroopers, all of whom she turned into rakghouls in a moment of temporary insanity.
Soon after, Rebel Alliance leaders Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa conducted a mission to recover what they thought to be a secret Imperial weapon, but was in fact, Morne.
She and her Sithspawn attacked Skywalker and Organa, who managed to barely escape with their lives. Morne took an abandoned transport and headed off into space to explore the galaxy.
After a hundred years—the nature of her bond with Muur and the Talisman had endowed her with long life—Morne took control of the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer Iron Sun and took it into the Deep Core, intending to hold Muur there forever. She then met bounty hunter Cade Skywalker, and after witnessing him cure himself of the rakghoul plague with the Force, joined Skywalker in his plan to assassinate the current Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Krayt. T
heir quest took them to the planet Had Abbadon, where Morne allowed for the knowledge of Skywalker's presence in the Deep Core to reach Krayt.
He arrived and a battle ensued, ultimately resulting in his defeat to the strike team and death at the hands of his own servent Darth Wyyrlok. With the Dark Lord finally eliminated, Morne focused on her own dilemma: the fear that the Sith spirit trapped inside her would soon dominate her completely. She asked Skywalker to free her of Muur's influence, and Skywalker obliged, killing her with his lightsaber.
The Lotto ticket, The Breaking Bad Finale at Cadillac Lounge, Toronto © Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto.com 2013
SPOILER ALERT
Like many others, I've been in the grip of a particular TV series for years now, which arrived at its climax this past Sunday. Not wanting to face the finale of "Breaking Bad" alone, I headed to the Cadillac Lounge. As it happened, I ended up watching it on a small TV screen above the bar, as their "big screen" was peppered with dead pixels, much as if someone had sneezed cocaine over it.. The place was dead quiet but we nevertheless strained to catch the dialogue. Anticipating the problem, I had asked the barman to put on my TV's subtitles.
It went down largely as I'd anticipated and hoped. I wanted Jesse to survive. Skyler and family as well. Walter was destined to die one way or another, and I was fine with it. I predict my son won't share this view as he was routing for Walter White, despised Jesse's "weakness' and like many viewers out there, wished all kinds of ill on Skyler the "bitch" wife, who inevitably saw through Walt's deceptions and demanded accountability. See "I Have a Character Issue"
By ANNA GUNN for her insights into a certain segment of the public's hatred of strong female characters. www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/opinion/i-have-a-character-iss...;
In the scene in this image, Marie's phoned Skyler to warn her that Walt's been sighted in the vicinity. From this, we can anticipate that the 2 sisters will eventually reconcile. As she hangs up and the camera pans, we realize he is already present in the room. Skyler greets the visit with skepticism and mixed emotions. Her family's safety has been threatened by drug dealers and DEA alike. She's endured so many lies and deception from Walt in the past, and been drawn in far too deeply. If Walt's skill and passion was chemistry, hers was accounting, which she took to with growing enthusiasm when he required her specific talent to "launder" the drug money. Walt had tried to deflect all culpability towards himself in a previous phone call (and episode) to Skyler. Made in full expectation that the DEA were listening in, he had established her as an unwitting, unwilling victim of his alter ego, the monstrous, murderous tyrant and drug lord, Heisenberg. Shady lawyer Saul had advised Walt to hand himself in rather than going on the lam, as he knew the DEA would continue to look towards Skyler if they couldn't get their hands on either him, the missing DEA members or the drug money. Walt however still has an agenda, and it doesn't include jail. Uncle Jack and the Aryan brotherhood had ignored Walt's pleas to spare Hank's life, even after Walt had revealed that the GPA coordinates to the site in the desert also led to his money, all of which he offered up in exchange. The neo-nazis nevertheless executed his brother in law and DEA partner, AND stole the bulk of his stashed drug money, leaving Walt one remaining barrel of cash and an uncomfortable handshake, in return for sparing his life and to establish complicity in the murders. He intended to get it back, "for the family" of course, as “Then and only then am I through.”
In that scene, Walt had then spotted Jesse cowering under the car following the DEA shoot-out and betrayed him to the Brotherhood, saying he was owed his death. Did he anticipate they would spare it and rather enslave him to produce blue meth? It seems unlikely. I wonder why he chose that moment to reveal to Jesse that he had been instrumental in the overdose death of his girlfriend, Jane. It was a blow intended to demoralize Jesse further, but for what purpose? Revenge for ratting to the DEA, or did he also personally blame him for the death of Hank, as Jesse (with the DEA) had lured Walt to his desert stash by suggesting he had found it and was in the process of burning his money. In a frantic fury, Walt had been tricked into leading the DEA to the location, and thinking it only Jesse, had in turn sent for the Nazis to come rescue him. By the time he realized it included Hank, he had lost the power to change the course.
Now, in pursuit of his ultimate agenda, Walt has come to make his final good-byes, offer more excuses and provide his wife with yet another "Get out of Jail" card. He gives her a lotto ticket with numbers that now reveal the GPS coordinates to the desert grave of Hank and Gomez rather than the site of his drug money stash, for her to use as an additional bargaining chip with the DEA. He tells her who was responsible for their deaths, not including himself.
She stops Walt before he can offer up one last excuse for his transgressions.
“If I have to hear one more time that you did this for the family...” but on this occasion he surprises her, and likely himself, with the truth. “I did it for ME... I liked it. I was GOOD at it. I was alive.”
And that moment of revelation and honesty breathes new life into Skylar's character. Actress Anna Gunn, describing the scene during a discussion following the finale, said, “She was waiting so long... and became such a shell of a person." This released her, like a long awaited sigh. She allowed him to say farewell to baby Holly, and he watches his now estranged son enter the house, but from a distance. He has lost the love of his family, and they no longer need him.
For Walt too, the admission allows him to free himself for the final scene, where all obsessions, aspirations, hatreds and perhaps the only love he has remaining, culminate as temperature and ingredients fuse in a final cook.

Inside the Union Carbide pesticide factory scene of the world's worst industrial disaster.
Interior shot of the factory before it was stripped of some of its most valuable components and subsequently abandoned to the elements.
The factory remains ruined and abandoned to this day and there are approximately 350 Metric tonnes of highly toxic waste stored above ground.
Of greater concern are the many thousands of tonnes of toxic waste that were buried, in an untreated state, on the site.
Rain water runs through his waste, along with the remains of the abandoned solar evaporation ponds, and leaches toxic chemicals in to the local ground water aquifer.
The toxic plume has now spread for miles from the factory and many thousands of impoverished people have been using it, for decades, as their primary water supply.

Police Constable James Fraser of the Elginshire Constabulary, stationed at Grantown-on-Spey died on 19th July 1878 from stab injuries sustained two days earlier at Grant Arms Hotel, Grantown where he was endeavouring to effect the arrest of one Andrew Granger who was causing a disturbance within a bedroom of the hotel. Granger was subsequently convicted of killing PC Fraser (but Culpable Homicide instead of Murder)
In the history of the area now policed by Northern Constabulary only two officers died from injuries deliberately inflicted - PC Fraser and PC Thomas King (20 years later and in the adjacent County of Inverness-shire).

Both men are buried in the same graveyard, of Abernethy Parish Church - midway between Grantown and Nethybridge - their graves merely yards apart - and yet (until additional lettering was added to PC Kings gravestone on the centenary of his death) there was nothing to show that either officer had been killed in the line of duty)

QUOTE….“ It is the color of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the long hair, which flows below his shoulders, is milk-white. From the tapering, beautiful head stare two slanting eyes, crimson and moody, and from the loose sleeves of his yellow gown emerge two slender hands, also the color of bone”. Thus described by author Michael Moorcock in the first book, Elric of Melniboné
Henry Thomas Cockburn of Bonaly, Lord Cockburn, was a Scottish lawyer, judge, literary figure and committed conservationist for the City he loved.
A well-respected figure of the time, his legacy lives on today in many forms, from streets names after him to the Cockburn Association, founded in his memory to protect the amenity of this city and campaign for its improvement.
In this portrait he is seen with Bonaly Tower on the right of the image and the distinctive external stair and tower doorway used by Robert Adamson and David Octavius Hill to pose the family photograph in the early 1840s.
Cockburn as born on 26 October 1779 with the Old Parish Register giving his place of birth as Hope Park in Edinburgh, where his parents had a house. He died at the age of 75 at his estate in Bonaly in the Pentland Hills on 26 April 1854.
His father was Archibald Cockburn – a keen Tory, lawyer, Judge – and Sheriff of Midlothian before taking on the mantle of Baron of the Court of Exchequer. His mother Janet Rannie was connected by marriage with the influential Lord Melville (her sister was Henry Dundas’s first wife), making Cockburn the nephew of one of the most powerful individuals in Scotland at the time. ( My family tree contains an important marriage of a MacBean daughter to the Dundas dynasty).
One of 9 siblings, with three sisters and 5 brothers. His brother was John Cockburn FRSE (d.1862) was a wine merchant and founder of Cockburn’s of Leith. Henry married Elizabeth Macdowall and went on to have five daughters and six sons.
In the popular magazine of the day, the Edinburgh Review, he was described as: “rather below the middle height, firm, wiry and muscular, inured to active exercise of all kinds, a good swimmer, an accomplished skater, an intense lover of the fresh breezes of heaven.” He was immensely popular with his peers and respected by most who met him.
Cockburn was educated at the Royal High School (1787) in Infirmary Street at the High School Yards to the south of the Old Town under the harsh guidance of the Rector, Dr Alexander Adam. He later described his time there as “spending nine years learning two dead languages”.
From 1793, he attended the University of Edinburgh and was particularly influenced by the Professor of Moral Philosophy, Dugald Stewart. A keen member of the Debating Club with Francis Jeffrey (a life-long friend), Henry Broughman and Horner. He met Walter Scott at this time, and the two grew to be close friends and political opponents.
Cockburn lived in a time when the spirit of the Age of the Enlightenment had permeated through all sectors of Edinburgh life. There were wide-sweeping proposals for new development in the town he loved so much, not least of which was the building of the New Town, north of the Nor’ Loch and the Old Town. Development here had started 10 years before his birth but his entry into University coincided with the completion of Charlotte Square, Robert Adam’s masterpiece of civic design regarded as the finest neo-classical square in Europe. He was, of course, later to move to the Square taking up residence at no.14.
In 1800, Cockburn entered the Faculty of Advocates which signalled the start of a distinguished legal career, becoming Lord Advocate Depute in 1806. He served as Solicitor General for Scotland between 1830 and 1834 before taking a seat on the Scottish bench as Lord Cockburn. He excelled at criminal cases and played a part if some celebrated cases. He was the defence lawyer for Helen McDougal, Burke’s wife, in the trial for the Burke and Hare murders, and won her acquittal.
Cockburn held strong Whig principles which was not the party of his relatives and at time when it held out few inducements to men ambitious of success.
Although Cockburn contributed regularly to the Edinburgh Review, the extent of his literary career was not fully appreciated until his 70th birthday on the publication of his biography of his lifelong friend, Lord Jeffrey.
His chief literary work, the Memorials of his Time appeared posthumously in 1856. His published work continued with his Journal 1831-44, published in 1874. These constitute an autobiography of the writer interspersed with notices of manners, public events, and sketches of his contemporaries, of great interest and value. In 1888, his paper Trials for Sedition in Scotland was published.
His book, Circuit Journeys was also published in 1888 and is a fascinating and insightful account of his times as a Circuit Judge, travelling the length and breadth of Scotland dispensing the Queen’s justice.
The preface, written in March 1838, Cockburn notes that it will be his “fate to perform these journeys being a Criminal Judge as long as I am fit for anything.” Such journeys were not without their hazards. He wrote of an incident in 1849 when a mail coach on the Edinburgh-Inverness route with the Clerk of the Court together with two Counsel overturned in the swollen River Moy – “The clerk’s papers all went downstream, but were recovered, though well steeped.”
September 1839, he visited the Abbey of Dundrennan, a “beautiful and interesting mass. But every other feeling is superseded by one’s horror and indignation at the state in which it is kept.” He goes on – “No excretion can do justice to the careless or selfish insensibility that can obstinately persevere in the daily perpetration of such atrocity. My excellent and esteemed host, in whose house I now am, and on whose ground this abbey stands, is the chief delinquent. And the value of the case is that he is a most liberal and right-minded gentleman, because this shows that the mischief proceeds from no positively improper object but from that absence of right feeling which, on such subjects seems to be nearly universal among Scotch proprietors. They gaze on the glorious ruins of noble buildings, over which time and history delights to linger and which give their estates all the dignity that they possess, with exactly the same emotion that the cattle do, to which these impressive edifices are generally consigned. It is a humiliating national scandal.”
Hidden within the pages of the Circuit Journeys are reminders of the horrible cases to which Cockburn had to preside. In 1840, in Glasgow, he wrote of the case of a poor child, scarcely 8 years old – a climbing boy as they were described then – who was forced by threats to go up 38 new chimneys successively without any food or rest. He died in the 38th. The charge of culpable homicide; the sentence was imprisonment although Cockburn felt that transportation was a more suitable punishment.
We can see part of Cockburn’s character and reflection following the Spring North Circuit of 1844. He writes from his home in Bonaly on a comfortable Sunday evening reflecting on dispensing the Queen’s justice in Perth. Putting aside the cases of a female fire raiser and a mad murderer noting that these were the only interesting cases out of 44, we writes, “of the mob of thieves, about a dozen had been already convicted in the Judiciary, and purified by long incarceration. I fear that it may now be deemed certain that thieves, especially the young, cannot be reformed by being shut up in a box.”
In September 1849, some 34 years before the celebrated Napier Commission into the Highland Clearances, Cockburn described one notable case heard in Knockomie of rioting, etc by four respectable men from North Uist, who were resisting a Highland clearing. His description shows the clear dilemma for Justices in exercising their duties. In accepting that the warrants of eviction had been legally and properly served, the Court established that no means of shelter or transport was provided leaving some 300 people with “nothing but the bare ground to take shelter in, or rather the hard, wet beach, to lie down upon.” The jury solved the difficulty by finding the men guilty but pleaded for the utmost leniency and mercy for the Court. In accepting this “well-considered recommendation”, Cockburn noted “the popular feeling is so strong against these (as I think necessary, but) odious operations, that I was afraid of an acquittal, which would have been unjust and mischievous. On the other hand, even the law has no sympathy with the exercises of legal rights in a cruel way.”
Cockburn’s conservation leanings again to the fore when writing in April 1845, he exclaims – “The country is an asylum of railway lunatics ……… And anyone who puts in a word for the preservation of scenery, or relics, or sacred haunts, is set down as a beast, hostile to the “poor man’s rights”, “modern improvement” and the “march of intellect”.”
Cockburn’s interest in the City of his birth found numerous channels but it is one publication that it can be best seen. In 1849, he wrote A Letter to the Lord Provost on the Best Ways of Spoiling the Beauty of Edinburgh in which he outlined his concerns and his passions for Edinburgh. It is more of a campaigning pamphlet than book, within which he said, “Edinburgh is not exempt from the doom that makes everything spoilable.” - - - - And how right he was.
