Das Cap Blanc-Nez (Blanc-Nez „weiße Nase“) ist eine Landspitze an Frankreichs Ärmelkanalküste, die in diesem Bereich Côte d’Opale genannt wird, Es befindet sich südlich von Calais. Zusammen mit dem Cap Gris-Nez bildet es die „Gegend der zwei Kaps“ (Site de deux Caps), die im Süden von Boulogne-sur-Mer abgeschlossen wird.
Das Cap Blanc-Nez besteht aus Kreidegestein und Mergel und hat steil abfallende Seiten zum Meer. Es zählt zu den "Grand sites de France' seit 2011.Die Höhe der Felsen beträgt 134 m.
Entlang der gesamten Küste weisen zahlreiche Gedenksteine und Monumente auf die Schrecken des Ersten und Zweiten Weltkriegs hin.
Die Spuren an diesem strategisch wichtigen Ort sind auch anhand einer Bunkeranlage auf dem Gipfel des Cap Blanc-Nez und zahlreichen, noch immer gut sichtbaren Bombenkratern erkennbar...Mahnmale unserer Geschichte...

De Dunquerque à Berck s'étend le paysage sauvage de la Cote d'Opale dessiné par des falaises escarpées, des valées crantées et un chapelet de dunes.
La Corniche de la Cote d'Opale, aussi nommée Terre des Deux Caps, car elle reunit le Cap Blanc-Nez et le Cap Gris-Nez, en est la partie la plus spectaculaire. Grand site de France depuis 2011, la Terre des Deux Caps marque la transition entre dunes et falaises.
Cap Blanc-Nez:
Reconnaisable de loin, surmonté d l'obélisque de la Dover Patrol,
qui fut erigé enmémoire des marins fancais et anglais morts pendant la Première Guerre mondiale en défendant le détroit du Pas-de-Calais.
Du haut du Cap, le spectacle est vertiginieux : la masse verticale de la falaise, à 134 m de haut, surplombe le 'pas' et son trafic incessant de navires.

Cap Blanc-Nez (literally "Cape White Nose" in English) is a cape on the Côte d'Opale, in the Pas-de-Calais département, in northern France. The cliffs of chalk are very similar to the white cliffs of Dover at the other side of the Channel in England. Cap Blanc-Nez does not protrude into the sea like a typical cape, but is a high point where a chalk ridge has been truncated by the sea, forming a cliff that is topped by the obelisk of the Dover Patrol Monument, commemorating the Dover Patrol which kept the Channel free from U-boats during World War I.
Cap Blanc-Nez was a vital measuring point for the eighteenth-century trigonometric survey linking the Paris Observatory with the Royal Greenwich Observatory. Sightings were made across the English Channel to Dover Castle and Fairlight Windmill on the South Downs. This Anglo-French Survey was led in England by General William Roy.

Stockfish is unsalted fish, especially cod, dried by cold air and wind on wooden racks (which are called "hjell" in Norway) on the foreshore. The drying of food is the world's oldest known preservation method, and dried fish has a storage life of several years. The method is cheap and effective in suitable climates; the work can be done by the fisherman and family, and the resulting product is easily transported to market.
Over the centuries, several variants of dried fish have evolved. The stockfish (fresh dried, not salted) category is often mistaken for the clipfish, or salted cod, category where the fish is salted before drying. After 2–3 weeks in salt the fish has salt-matured, and is transformed from wet salted fish to clipfish through a drying process. The salted fish was earlier dried on rocks (clips) on the foreshore. The production method of clipfish was developed by the Portuguese who first mined salt near the brackish water of Aveiro, and brought it to Newfoundland where cod (bacalhau) was available in massive quantities. Salting was not economically feasible until the 17th century, when cheap salt from southern Europe became available to the maritime nations of northern Europe.
Stockfish is cured in a process called fermentation where cold-adapted bacteria matures the fish, similar to the maturing process of cheese. Clipfish is processed in a chemical curing process called salt-maturing, similar to the maturing processes of other salt-matured products such as Parma ham.
In English legal records of the Medieval period, (written in Latin), stock fishmongers are differentiated from ordinary fishmongers when the occupation of a plaintiff or defendant is recorded.

This is a classic view of Maya Bay, made famous by the movie 'The Beach' starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Controversy arose during the making of the film due to 20th Century Fox's bulldozing and landscaping of the natural beach setting of Ko Phi Phi Leh to make it more "paradise-like". The production altered some sand dunes and cleared some coconut trees and grass to widen the beach. Fox set aside a fund to reconstruct and return the beach to its natural state; however, lawsuits were filed by environmentalists who believed the damage to the ecosystem was permanent and restoration attempts had failed. The lawsuits dragged on for years and in 2006 Thailand's Supreme Court upheld a ruling that the filming had harmed the environment and ordered that damage assessments be made. Defendants in the case included 20th Century Fox and some Thai government officials.
The insanely picturesque bay is now protected as a National Park.
By the way, the Flickr map is not quite right in terms of naming!

le Pont-Neuf, mis en service en 1867, marque la création d’un des axes majeurs d’entrée de la ville. Baptisé Pont Napoléon, puis Pont de Strasbourg, il porte désormais le nom Pont du 22 août 1944, en souvenir de cette triste journée, où de jeunes résistants sont tombés au combat face aux nazis en défendant son accès.
Adossé au Pont-Vieux (d'où est prise la photo) depuis le 12e siècle, le Moulin du Chapitre, devenu centrale hydroélectrique, continue de se nourrir du Tarn pour produire de l'énergie. De l'autre côté du Tarn, rive droite, la Vermicellerie d'Albi, inscrite MH (1984) fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermicellerie_d%27Albi
The Pont-Neuf, which was commissioned in 1867, marks the creation of one of the city’s major entry roads… Named Pont Napoléon, then Pont de Strasbourg, it now bears the name Bridge of the 22 August 1944, in memory of this sad day, when young resistance fighters fell in battle against the nazi troops defending its access.
Backed by the Pont-Vieux (where the photo is taken) since the 12th century, the Moulin du Chapitre, now a hydroelectric power station, continues to feed on the Tarn to produce energy. On the other side of the Tarn, right bank, the Vermicellerie d'Albi, former pasta factory, classified MH - French National Heritage (1984)
L'usine de la Vermicellerie occupe le site d'un moulin à farine qui pourrait remonter au 12e siècle. Le site est remanié à partir du 17e siècle et transformé en usine de fabrication de pâtes alimentaires en 1850. Elle est désaffectée dans la seconde moitié du 20e siècle, puis réaménagée pour accueillir un hôtel, le musée Lapérouse et le Comité départemental de tourisme.
The Vermicellerie factory occupies the site of a flour mill that could date back to the 12th century. The site was remodelled from the 17th century and transformed into a pasta factory in 1850. It was disused in the second half of the 20th century, then redeveloped to accommodate a hotel, the Musée Lapérouse and the Departmental Tourism Committee.

Machynlleth is a market town, community and electoral ward in Powys, Wales and within the historic boundaries of Montgomeryshire. It is in the Dyfi Valley at the intersection of the A487 and the A489 roads. At the 2001 Census it had a population of 2,147, rising to 2,235 in 2011.
Machynlleth Town Clock
Old photo of Machynlleth town clockThis clock is a landmark in the centre of Machynlleth. It was built by the residents of Machynlleth to celebrate the coming of age of the eldest son of the Fifth Marquess of Londonderry, who lived at Y Plas. Charles Stewart Vane-Tempest (Viscount Castlereagh) turned 21 on 16 July 1873, but family bereavement put paid to the planned celebrations. A year later, on 16 July 1874, the clock’s foundation stone was laid amid general festivities.
Public subscriptions raised enough money to build the clock tower and plant trees along both sides of Pentrerhedyn and Maengwyn Streets.
A competition to design the clock tower attracted 30 to 40 entries. The winner was architect Henry Kennedy, of Bangor. His design was built by Edward Edwards, a local builder. It was made mostly of stone from Tremadog, near Porthmadog, complemented by red sandstone from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The tower stands 24 metres high, to the base of the weathervane.
In 1881 a storm shattered two of the clock’s faces and stopped the mechanism. Local residents donated money for repairs.
The clock tower became a meeting point for temperance (anti-drunkenness) campaigners. Hundreds of people gathered here in 1907 to greet General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, who paused for five minutes while on his way to Aberystwyth.
Machynlleth held a carnival to celebrate peace on a Saturday in July 1919. At the town clock, a laurel wreath and floral tributes were displayed in memory of the people who died in the First World War. On the following day, an open-air memorial service was held at the clock. Local clergy addressed the crowd, and the town's brass band played sombre music.
The clock tower’s site was previously occupied by the town hall, which the writer George Borrow visited in 1854. He chronicled his tour of Wales in a popular book, called Wild Wales. Borrow described the town hall as an “old-fashioned-looking edifice supported on pillars”, located in the middle of “a kind of market place”. He wrote: “Seeing a crowd standing round it, I asked what was the matter and was told that the magistrates were sitting in the town hall above, and that a grand poaching case was about to be tried.” Borrow recorded that the defendant was found guilty of spearing a salmon and fined £4, including costs.

Saturday night cruising in Paprihaven, at the Market Street 7-11.
Eddie Hyatt rolls through the parking lot peering into the store.
Eddie has a skip on his hands, and he always likes to try to find the criminal himself before shelling out more cash for a bounty hunter.
At 60 days, Paprihaven has a shorter deadline than most places. If Eddie doesn't produce the defendant in that time, the court forfeits the bond. Which means Eddie is just out. So, Eddie is highly motivated. He hasn't spotted the punk yet.
Perhaps... just perhaps, if Eddie was not so easy to spot a mile away in his somewhat overstated 1998 Chevy Pro Stock S10, he might be better able to catch a criminal unawares. If the metallic reds don't catch attention, the thunderous exhaust will.
Probably for this reason, Eddie typically has to end up hiring a bounty hunter. And that cost will depend on how long he tries to find the baddie himself. If Eddie gives up early, he knows some dependable, normal bounty hunters who charge reasonable fees.
Paprihaven is also loaded with super types. And there is one who guarantees a capture in 24 hours, and has never failed, and charges big. Eddie only uses her for the big bail amounts, and then only if he's down to the wire.
Tonight, Eddie keeps driving and looking.

in every trial, there is the official record. the sworn testimony, the presented evidence. but the real truth is often held by someone else. the unseen witness. the one who stands in the shadows at the back of the room, whose perspective is never asked for. they see the whole proceeding through a narrow frame. they watch the defendant walk away. and they know a different story. the one that was never told.
The sunken eyes, the dour expression of disdain for all human kindness. This man would be right at home as a defendant at the Nuremburg Trials.
La fontaine Roesselmann est un monument érigée en 1888 par le sculpteur français Auguste Bartholdi (1834-1904) à Colmar.
Elle représente le prévôt Jean Roesselmann, qui perdit la vie en défendant Colmar à la Porte de Bâle contre les convoitises de l'évêque de Strasbourg en 1262, à la suite de l'incursion de l'évêque Walter de Geroldseck. Il est à noter que les traits du visage de cette statue sont ceux d'un autre « résistant », le maire de Colmar Hercule Jean-Baptiste de Peyerimhoff, qui contesta l'annexion de l'Alsace après la défaite française de 1871 et fut contraint de démissionner. La statue est déboulonnée en 1943 pour être fondue. Elle est retrouvée gravement endommagée au port du Rhin, restaurée et réinstallée en 1945.
The Roesselmann Fountain is a monument erected in 1888 by French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi (1834-1904) in Colmar.
It depicts Provost Jean Roesselmann, who lost his life defending Colmar at the Porte de Bâle against the ambitions of the Bishop of Strasbourg in 1262, following the incursion of Bishop Walter of Geroldseck. It should be noted that the facial features of this statue are those of another “resistance fighter,” the mayor of Colmar, Hercule Jean-Baptiste de Peyerimhoff, who contested the annexation of Alsace after the French defeat in 1871 and was forced to resign. The statue was dismantled in 1943 to be melted down. It was found badly damaged at the port on the Rhine, restored, and reinstalled in 1945.
The church at Sookholme is a small building dating from the early 12th century. It is the smallest old ecclesiastical building in the deanery of Mansfield and is a chapelry of Warsop.
The oldest part of the building dates from the early 12th century. A large part of the original walling still survives on the north side of the nave and in other places throughout the chapel.
The manor of Sookholme was granted to the Priory of St Oswald at Nostell in Yorkshire at some point before 1122. According to local tradition, a branch of the priory was established at Sookholme although there is no record to substantiate this claim.
In 1273/4 lands in Sookholme (Sulholm) are recorded forming part of the manor of Warsop, held of the king in chief by service of half a knight's fee, but there is no mention of the church at Sookholme, only the advowson of the parish church at Warsop. Most likely this is because it was a simple chapel of ease or otherwise had a very low valuation and did not merit a mention in the records (Cal. IPM v.II, Edw. I).
In May 1353 the prior of Nostell complained that one William Daubenay, the king’s bailiff, had removed some of the prior’s cattle at Sookholme, at a place called ‘Standpitwong’. Judgement by the justices of the Bench at Westminster was given in favour of the prior with 6 s. 8d. in damages awarded.
A case heard c.1390 in the Church Court of the diocese of York included 'the inhabitants of the parish of Sulkholme' among the plaintiffs; the case against the defendant, William Rawdon (the rector of Warsop), related to the provision of clergy.
On 24th January 1491 letters dimissory were issued to one William Bagillay of Sookholme, scholar, (letters dimissory were needed by a candidate for ordination) by Archbishop Thomas Rotherham in York.
The priory of St Oswald, Nostell held various lands in the manor. In July 1553 Edward VI granted the lordship and manor to Margaret Leke, the widow of John Leke of Worksop, and it was stated that St Oswald’s formerly held the manor. The Valor Ecclesiastus records temporal holdings of Nostell in Sookholme with a clear annual valuation of £11 16 s. 1½ d. This land included at least 20 bovates granted by Edward I in 1291/2, and a third part of a mill which had been granted by Edward II in 1314.
In 1626 the churchwardens of Warsop presented the inhabitants of Sookholme 'for denying the accustomed duties they must pay towards the use of the parish church of Warsope.'
An inquiry of 1650 reported that the rector of Warsop, the Rev. Oliver Dand, kept 'a preachinge minister at Sookholm.'
Tommaseo was a linguist, a writer, a defendant of the free press and a precursor of the Italian irredentism, a movement for the liberation of Italian cities from foreign occupation. Thanks to his beliefs and his works, Tommaseo was named Ministry of Education for the Republic of San Marco in 1848, when Venetians temporary freed themselves from the Austrian occupation.

transgender people have courage like i have never seen in any one group of people before..they face adversaty without fear and show alot of moxie in their quest to follow their dreams of being true to whom they really are in their heart..that is something that should be admired, not destroyed.
every year many transgender people are murdered , many families are left waiting for justice..
the few following examples are quite shocking.. (these are just five out of hundreds)
.
.
Erika Keels (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; 3/22/07) Erika, a 20-year-old black transgender woman, was murdered on March 22, 2007, on North Broad Street in Philadelphia. Witnesses saw an assailant eject Erika from his car and intentionally run her over four times, killing her and leaving the scene. A medical examiner’s report supports these eyewitness accounts. But police ruled Erika’s death an accident and have refused to conduct an investigation. The driver, Roland Button, was later apprehended, but he has yet to face criminal charges–including “hit and run” charges. When Ms. Keels’ friends, who are themselves trans, questioned police officials about the classification of her death as an accident, they were asked to disclose their “birth” names and told they were “trying to make something out of nothing.”

Duanna Johnson, a 40-year-old African American transgender woman. In February 2008, Duanna was picked up and arrested by Memphis, Tennessee, police officers Bridges McRae and J. Swain. She was pinned down and beaten by the two men in a Memphis police jail after she refused to respond to anti-gay and anti-transgender slurs. The assault was captured on video, which aired on several regional newscasts. In an interview given to FOX 13, Duanna spoke about her experiences. “As [Officer McRae] was calling me, he said ‘hey he-she, come over here’” Johnson told FOX 13 reporters, “I knew he couldn’t be talking to me because that’s not my name.” Duanna Johnson received national media attention this past June when she went public about the brutality she suffered at the hands of two Memphis Police Officers. She became “the public face of our community’s campaign against racism, homophobia, and transphobia” according to a statement from the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center. On Monday Nov 10, according to news reports, Duanna was shot “execution style” between Hollywood and Staten Avenue in Memphis, Tenn.[21]

Angie Zapata was a trans woman who was murdered on July 17, 2008, in Greeley, Colorado. Her death was the first ever case involving a transgender victim to be ruled a hate crime.[23] Colorado is one of only eleven states that protect transgender victims under hate crime laws in the United States. Allen Andrade, who learned eighteen-year-old Angie was transgender after meeting her and spending several days with her, beat her to death with a fire extinguisher. In his arrest affidavit, Andrade calls Zapata "it",[24] and during his trial a tape was played of a phone conversation in which he told his girl friend "gay things need to die".[25] Andrade's attorneys used a gay panic defense, implying that Andrade suddenly "snapped" when he learned Zapata was not born biologically female. On April 22, 2009, Andrade was found guilty of first degree murder, hate crimes, and car/ID theft. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[26]

Tyra Hunter (1970 – August 7, 1995) was an African-American transsexual woman who died after being injured as a passenger in a car accident and refused medical care.[1][2] Emergency medical technicians at the scene of the accident uttered derogatory epithets and withdrew medical care after discovering that she had male genitalia, and ER staff at DC General Hospital subsequently provided dilatory and inadequate care.

.
.
Gwen Araujo of Newark, California (died October 2002), an American teenage trans woman, was killed by four men, two of whom she had been raped by, who beat and strangled her after discovering she was transsexual.[7][8][9] Two of the defendants were convicted of second-degree murder,[10] but not convicted on the requested hate crime enhancements. The other two defendants pleaded guilty or no contest to voluntary manslaughter. In at least one of the trials, a trans panic defense - an extension of the gay panic defense - was employed.[10][11]

In the United States criminal law, a frame-up (frameup) or setup is the act of framing someone, that is, providing false evidence or false testimony in order to falsely prove someone guilty of a crime. While incriminating those who are innocent might be done out of sheer malice, framing is primarily used as a distraction.
Generally, the person who is framing someone else is the actual perpetrator of the crime. In other cases it is an attempt by law enforcement to get around due process. Motives include getting rid of political dissidents or "correcting" what they see as the court's mistake. Some lawbreakers will try to claim they were framed as a defence strategy.
In the UK you are more likely to find:
Perverting the course of justice is an English common law crime. It involves someone preventing justice from being served on themselves or on someone else. A serious criminal offence, perverting the course of justice is triable on indictment only. Other crimes, such as perjury, fraud or witness tampering can also amount to perverting the course of justice, but would be charged under the relevant statutory law.
To pervert the course of course of justice, any one of the three acts below must be carried out:
Intimidating or interfering with a case witness, juror or judge;
The disposal, or fabricating, of evidence;
Falsely accusing someone of a crime, resulting in their arrest.
For a charge of perverting the course of justice to stick, it must involve conclusive acts by the defendant. However, a simple omission is insufficient.
"it’s a beloved Vancouver pastime to look up in awe at the startling [murder] of crows that flies eastward like clockwork come dusk [...].". Stacey McLachlan. December 29, 2017
A murder of crows
This more poetic term for a flock of crows can be traced back at least to the 15th century, when it was recorded as a murther of crowes. Murther is a variant of Middle English murthre 'murder,' though the th sound had begun to be replaced with a d around 1300 C.E. There are several theories as to how this particular term came about, but all of them have to do with the supposed behavior of crows. For instance, crows are scavengers and therefore often seen feeding on rotting bodies of various sorts. Survivors of wars have described how the battlefields were covered in black as crows (and ravens) came down to eat the dead. Another theory hearkens back to old folklore which told of groups of crows essentially holding court over members of their flock that had committed offenses. If they decide against the "defendant" crow, then the rest of the flock swoops down on it and kills it. There are legends outside of the Germanic culture that relate to crows being judges over people as well, and how their appearance is an omen of death. LIVEJOURNAL
PS We see them flying past our condo every night. What an amazing sight.
It's amazing how many Mississippians seem not to realize that the flag on the right was (and thankfully is) the enemy of the flag on the left.
I think many latter-day Confederate sympathizers have no idea how far the South (and Mississippi in particular) moved toward an embrace of pure evil in the years leading up to the Civil War. I suspect their sympathies are influenced both by their lack of knowledge of the cause for which Southern governments fought and by the undoubted heroism of the Confederate soldiers who fought so bravely against hopeless odds.
When Mississippi was first admitted to the Union in 1817, its citizens still keenly felt the inherent tension between the statement in the Declaration of Independence that "all Men are created Equal" and the institution of chattel slavery.
In an 1818 decision, Harry v. Decker, 1 Miss. 36, the Mississippi Supreme Court declared, "Slavery is condemned by reason and the laws of nature. It exists and can only exist, through municipal regulations, and in matters of doubt, is it not an unquestioned rule, that courts must lean 'in favorem vitae et libertatis [in favor of life and liberty]'?"
In an 1820 decision, Mississippi v. Jones, 1 Miss. 83, the defendant who was charged with murder for killing a slave, appealed on the ground that a slave was not a human being. The Mississippi Supreme Court resoundingly rejected this argument:
"In this state, the Legislature have considered slaves as reasonable and accountable beings and it would be a stigma upon the character of the state, and a reproach to the administration of justice, if the life of a slave could be taken with impunity, or if he could be murdered in cold blood, without subjecting the offender to the highest penalty known to the criminal jurisprudence of the country. Has the slave no rights, because he is deprived of his freedom? He is still a human being, and possesses all those right, of which he is not deprived by the positive provisions of the law, but in vain shall we look for any law passed by the enlightened and philanthropic legislature of this state, giving even to the master, much less to a stranger, power over the life of a slave. Such a statute would be worthy the age of Draco or Caligula, and would be condemned by the unanimous voice of the people of this state, where, even cruelty to slaves, much less the taking away of life, meets with universal reprobation."
And, it should be noted, the Mississippi Constitution of 1832 forbade the importation of slaves into the state of Mississippi from either abroad or from another state within the United States.
But by the days immediately preceding the Civil War, white Mississippians had wholly lost their moral bearings, as can be readily seen from two astonishing Mississippi Supreme Court cases from 1859.
In the case of George (a slave) v. Mississippi, 37 Miss. 316 (1859), the defendant (George) was convicted of the rape of a 10 year old slave girl and sentenced to hang. The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed the conviction. The Mississippi Supreme Court held that as a slave, the little ten year old girl had no protection against being raped because "the common law has no relation to the rights of slaves, and can afford them no protection." Instead, unless the legislature had passed a law specifically protecting slaves, the Roman laws of antiquity were still applicable, which allowed slaves to be "tortured for evidence, punished at the discretion of their lord, or even put to death by his authority." The 1859 Mississippi Supreme Court did note its 1820 decision of Mississippi v. Jones, which had held that slaves were human beings entitled to protection of the law, but summarily rejected it as "founded mainly upon the unmeaning twaddle, in which some humane judges and law writers have indulged, as to the influence of the 'natural law' [and] 'civilization and Christian enlightenment.'"
George the rapist was allowed to live, with the punishment (if any) for his horrendous crime left solely to the discretion of his owner.
In the case of Mitchell v. Wells, 37 Miss. 235 (1859), the issue was the validity of a bequest of $3,000 in a will of a deceased white Mississippian to a Negro woman who was living in Ohio as a free woman under the laws of that state. The woman was the white man's daughter and he had traveled with her to Ohio, a free state, where he had freed her. Mississippi had passed a law forbidding the emancipation of any slaves within the state of Mississippi. However, this law had been interpreted by the Mississippi Supreme Court in 1840 as allowing slaves to be sent to Liberia for emancipation, as this emancipation occurred outside the borders of Mississippi. See Ross v. Vertner, 6 Miss. 305 (1840).
Despite its precedent in Ross, the 1859 version of the Mississippi Supreme Court contemptuously rejected the daughter's plea that she be allowed to receive her father's bequest. The Mississippi Supreme Court declared the state of Ohio, which had decided that blacks could live as free people within its borders, to be "forgetful of her constitutional obligations to the whole race, and afflicted with a negro-mania, which inclines her to descend, rather than elevate herself in the scale of humanity." It declared blacks to be "an inferior caste, incapable of the blessings of free government, and occupying, in the order of nature, an intermediate state between the irrational animal and the white man." It voided the will's bequest to the Negro daughter because Ohio's attempt to confer rights on black people was morally unacceptable:
"Suppose that Ohio, still further afflicted with her peculiar philanthropy, should determine to descend another grade in the scale of her peculiar humanity, and claim to confer citizenship on the chimpanzee or the ourang-outang (the most respectable of the monkey tribe), are we to be told that "comity" will require of the States not thus demented, to forget their own policy and self-respect, and lower their own citizens and institutions in the scale of being, to meet the necessities of the mongrel race thus attempted to be introduced into the family of sisters in this confederacy?
The doctrine of comity is not thus unreasonable. Like the benign principles of moral duty, which regulate the miniature government of family in social life, it commands no duty, the observance of which will tend to degrade a sister in the family of nations.
If the sister, in violation of morality, and respect for herself, as well as her associates of the old household, will insist on the meretricious embrace, we are neither bound to sanction nor respect it, much less to receive her new associate into our immediate circle."
This passionate embrace of the "right" of one race to exercise totalitarian power over another was at the heart of Mississippian's decision to secede from the United States and to enter into the Civil War. The second paragraph of the Mississippi Secession Convention's Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union reads as follows:
"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin."
When I think of the noble sacrifices of the Southern patriots who charged into the hailstorm of cannon balls, grape shot, bullets, and cannister at Gettysburg, I also think of the fact that many of those so bravely giving their lives were fighting for the proposition that black ten year girls could be raped with impunity and fathers have no right to leave their inheritances to their black daughters.
Still, to this Southern white boy, they were brave and noble, so I ultimately share the sentiments of General Grant in the final pages of his autobiography describing his emotions at Appomattox: "I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though it was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse."
Taken at the second of two retirement parties honoring Ramon Delgadillo, a longtime Spanish-language court interpreter. I hesitated to post this image for several reasons, including its technical flaws. (Among other things, I discovered after taking it that my camera had focused on the subject's hands, rather than her face.) But in the end, I decided I just couldn't reject this one, as it is, quite simply, the heartiest laugh I have ever managed to capture with my camera. And just looking at it sort of helps to alleviate the blues -- kinda like the Mood Enhancement Tool.
I caught her here enjoying one of the numerous court-interpreter war stories shared throughout the evening. Come to think of it, while I am here uploading this picture, let me share one of my own.
One day about five years ago, I was interpreting for a drug defendant whose first name was Gildardo. He was entering a guilty plea before one of the court commissioners, who, before accepting the plea, made the usual inquiries to ensure that he had made his decision voluntarily, and with full knowledge of the potential consequences. But first things first, and before addressing the case, she had to read the case number and the names of the parties into the record.
There was a small problem, however. The defendant's name had been misspelled in a most unfortunate way. On the court's calendar for the day, it was shown as "Dildardo." One look at that name and I could see potential disaster looming, so I made a quick decision on how to deal with it. And all the while I prayed that I could keep a straight face throughout the process.
Commissioner Smith began with the usual recitals about this being case number such-and-such, State of Arizona versus -- at which point there followed a very pregnant pause as she looked down at the calendar, with a rather puzzled and bemused expression on her face.
During the pause, I leaned forward until I was perhaps six inches from the microphone, and in a booming voice, carefully enunciated each syllable of the defendant's first name. "GIL-DAR-DO," I intoned.
Commissioner Smith looked up at me, flashed a sort of conspiratorial grin, and read the case into the record, using the defendant's true name and the correct pronunciation thereof. The dignity of the court had been successfully maintained, as had my straight face. More or less maintained, anyway.

“Up to mountain Sion 1619”
The Synod of Dort was set up by the Dutch Reformed Church, to resolve serious disputes caused by followers of Arminianism. Remonstrants had published a publication, in 1610, outlining the teachings of James Arminius. The main objective of the Synod was a rule between Remonstrants and opponents of the Remonstrants. The first meeting was on November 13, 1618. The President of the Council, Reverend John Bogerman of Leeuwarden, was an opponent of the Remonstrants. The Remonstrant party was summed, not as an equal party but as defendants. They were even excluded from the deliberations of the Synod on January 14, 1619. The Synod ruled in favour of the Contra - Remonstrants. The decision of the Synod of Dort was displayed in 5 main points known as the Canons of Dort. The Canons of Dort are part of the three official declarations of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Netherlands.
The Synod of Dort also decided to translate the Bible in dutch. The ‘Statenvertaling’ (The State Translation) was ready in 1637. Also adopted was the Canon Law of Dort, still used in many Reformed Churches.
The Synod closed on May 9, 1619, after 154 meetings. Members of Reformed Churches from eight foreign countries were present.

My MocAthalon entry to the Bookend category. The photo isn't great, sorry about that. I really like that sword, after the MocAthalon, I might just add the middle section of the blade.

These guys are quite abundANT around our yard. There were too many to count so I tried hiring an accountANT but his prices were too exorbitANT. I got chatting with this guy in the photo, ANThony. he was quite exurberANT. He was quite big for an ant, (must have been all the ANTibodies) so the other guys nicknamed him elephANT. He and his girlfriend ANThea had an infANT out of wedlock so decided to run away, did an ANTelope.
Anyway, their ANTics aside, these guys are so importANT to our environment, and I took quite a penchANT to them, so, and I'm not being flippANT, I promised to be their defendANT.
Puns aside, I was just reading about ants, incredibly amazing creatures! Superorganism colonies, biomass greater than all wild birds and animals, social classes, division of labour, complex problem solving .... too much for my old brain to absorb! I've never been able to hurt an ant, even more so now.
Have a great middle of the week everyone :)
The District Court hears a wide range of criminal, civil, housing, juvenile, mental health, and other types of cases. District Court criminal jurisdiction extends to all felonies punishable by a sentence up to five years, and many other specific felonies with greater potential penalties; all misdemeanors; and all violations of city and town ordinances and by-laws. In felonies not within District Court final jurisdiction, the District Court conducts probable cause hearings to determine if a defendant should be bound over to the Superior Court. District Court magistrates conduct hearings to issue criminal complaints and arrest warrants, and to determine whether there is probable cause to detain persons arrested without a warrant. Both judges and magistrates issue criminal and administrative search warrants.

my name is evidence, my role is undeniable, unless i've become inadmissible
in crimes of consequence, i'm only as reliable as the defendant's defense is defendable
i am the kill; though i'm unwilling to be still and accept this evil as my own persona, and sentient, will.
Countess Maria Tarnowska was the daughter of Count Nikolay Moritsevitch O'Rourke, a Russian naval officer of Irish ancestry and his second wife Ekaterina Seletska - a noblewoman of Cossack origin. She gained international notoriety by standing trial for plotting and instigating the murder of one of her lovers. Her 1910 trial in Venice and subsequent conviction attracted media attention from both sides of the Atlantic and became the subject of various books.
After marrying the Russian aristocrat Vasily Tarnowski (1872 - 1932) at the age of seventeen and giving birth to a son, Wassily (b. 1895), and a daughter, she became romantically involved with several other men. She was also known to abuse narcotic drugs (morphine).
In 1907 in Venice, one of Tarnowska's lovers, Nicholas Naumov (also spelled Naumoff), killed another one of her lovers, Count Pavel Kamarovsky, allegedly upon her instigation. The Countess Tarnowska, as she was commonly called, was arrested that same year in Vienna and transferred to La Giudecca penitentiary in Venice, where the trial was to be held.
The trial, locally called "the Russian affair" (il caso russo), began on 14 March 1910 and ended on 20 May of the same year, with the conviction of both defendants. Maria Tarnowska was found guilty, but was sentenced to serve a relatively mild term of only eight years in prison, thanks to an ingenious defence (it was one of the first to include Freudian analysis of the defendant's personality and motives) – and, possibly, due to the leniency of the presiding judge.
She was transferred to the penitentiary at Trani (southern Italy), and released in 1915.

An abandoned building at Mansfield Training school, the stench of mold & mildew waifed through the shadows & air- truly gives you the willies.
Mansfield Training School:
"It was active from 1863 to 1993; was initially founded to segregate clients who were mentally retarded, epileptic, or deemed mentally aberrant from the rest of the society.
Patients & staff were moved through a series of underground tunnels that connected building to building.
The Mansfield Training School was a merging of two institutions "to provide for the care, custody, education and employment of mental defective (feeble minded) and epileptic persons."
pre-1915.., name changed from: "Ct Colony for Epileptics" to "CT School for Imbeciles" to "Connecticut Training School for Feeble minded"
1917.. merged with the Connecticut Colony for Epileptics at Mansfield, renamed the Mansfield Training School and Hospital.
1959.. administratively, Mansfield is transferred to the new Office of Mental Retardation in the Dept. of Health
1975... administratively, Mansfield is transferred to the new Dept. of Mental Retardation
1993... Mansfield Training School closes."
The facilities were old and the quality of care was questioned by family members of residents in a 1978 lawsuit, CARC v. Thorne that would eventually result in the closing of the school in 1993.
--->> In the early 1990s the defendants in the lawsuit inappropriately placed "Do Not Resuscitate Orders" in patients' files and withheld CPR.
One patient, Gladys Burr who was placed in this facility in the 1930s only to be found to have IQ scores that climbed, a high school diploma and completion of a short term business class. The doctors ignored all the signs she was placed there incorrectly, finally after 40 years, she was released from the hospital she was transferred to when Mansfield closed. Imagine 40 years .... what could have been.
Some buildings were so dilapidated by this time that they were knocked down, other buildings were transferred to the use of other institutions such as the University of Connecticut and still others were abandoned.
