Ne me demandez pas d'où viennent les surnoms de ce cactus (cactus tête à l'anglais ou encore siège de belle-mère).
Cette espèce est protégée et figure depuis 2013 dans la liste rouge de l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature, au niveau de préoccupation mineur (Sa destruction, son prélèvement ou sa détérioration sont passibles de 15000€ d’amende et d’un an de prison).
"Comme tous les autres Melocactus, cette plante doit son nom à sa forme particulière, rappelant celle d'un melon. Une fois arrivé à l'âge adulte, approximativement à l'âge de quinze ans, ce cactus développe un cephalium qui grandit à une vitesse comprise entre cinq et dix millimètres par an. On estime qu'un individu peut vivre jusqu'à trois cents ans."
Sur cette photo le "céphalium" devait bien faire 5 cm, donc une estimation de l'age de ce plant pourrait être entre 20 et 30 ans (15 ans + 5 à 10 ans)

Rencontres de Noël:
- Alors, vous préparez le réveillon? demande le vacataire qui m'est affecté au vaccinodrome de Toulouse ce lundi 27 décembre au soir alors que le bourdonnement de cette immense ruche où des centaines de professionnels, parfois bénévoles et souvent jeunes accueillent les candidats au vaccin (qui nous décevra beaucoup par son incapacité à nous protéger tant du Covid que de la transmission du virus…), le bourdonnement donc s'est calmé dans l'attente des doses de Moderna et Pfizer.
- Je suis prêtre et nous sommes, comme vous, mobilisés durant les fêtes alors nous ne préparons pas de Réveillon sauf si nous pouvons en organiser un pour des personnes pauvres ou isolées.
Ainsi hier, jour de Noël, je suis aller prier auprès d'une défunte à la demande de ses enfants avant de rendre une longue visite à une personne en longue maladie qui unit ses souffrances à celles du Christ crucifié.
- Je compris plus tard que mon interlocuteur avait déjà repéré à mon col et ma croix qu'il accueillait un prêtre et que sa question sur le Réveillon n'était qu'un prélude à ce qu'il allait me confier ensuite.
C'est ma troisième visite en ce lieu, toujours à la nuit tombée et l'impeccable organisation permet une belle fluidité du mouvement à travers les huit étapes du processus vaccinal depuis le premier accueil jusqu'à la sortie après les 15 minutes d'observations qui suivent la vaccination proprement dite.
Un autre mérite de cette organisation réside dans l'accueil qui nous est réservé à chaque étape: professionnel et souriant. Avec le charme additionnel des nombreux jeunes gens et jeunes filles mobilisés.
Est-ce un bénéfice additionnel de cette organisation anti-stress ou l'apanage de mes visites en fin de journées qui m'ont permis à chaque fois d'avoir de belles rencontres avec les accueillants heureux de converser avec un prêtre?
- Ce vieux pompier volontaire qui me piqua la première fois, après 21 heure alors qu'il avait une heure de route à faire pour rentrer chez lui à Saint Gaudens.
- Ce jeune professionnel africain, à ma deuxième visite, avec qui nous avons pu parler de son éducation chrétienne au Burundi et de son concitoyen et aumônier, notre ami le P. Jean.
- Et ce soir de Noël, cet homme de ma troisième dose, qui me confiait sa fierté d'être allé à la messe de la nuit de Noël, à Saint-Lizier, en compagnie de ses belles-filles de 10 et 14 ans et du père de ces dernières:
- Cela faisait des années que je n'étais plus allé à la messe.
- Qu'est-ce qui vous y a poussé?
- Je ne sais pas… Mais le plus beau est d'avoir réussi à convaincre mes belles-filles de venir.
- Leu mère y était aussi?
- Non, c'est leur père qui voulait mais elles ne voulaient pas au début. Et c'est moi, le compagnon de leur mère, non pratiquant, qui les ai convaincus de venir voir ce que c'est que la messe.
- Elles n'ont pas fait de catéchisme?
- Non et pourtant, finalement, elles ont voulu absolument venir.
- Et elles étaient contentes à la sortie?
- Oui, et j'espère surtout qu'il va se passer quelque chose pour elles.
- Qu'elle rencontrent Dieu, expérimentent l'amour du Christ?
- Oui, c'est ça.
À la sortie, un pompier volontaire repérant que je suis prêtre me parle de son bonheur d'avoir pris en blablacar pour un long trajet jusqu'à Paris, un prêtre pompier volontaire lui-aussi, le P. Moïse Kaboré, ancien curé de Castanet près Toulouse et ancien curé et pompier à Saint-Céré, dans mon diocèse de Cahors.
3 doses, 4 rencontres chaleureuses qui sont autant de motifs d'action de grâce et de confirmation de cette certitude qui a grandi en moi: ces rencontres d'ici-bas qui sont les vraies richesse de nos vies sont un préludes aux rencontres de là-haut, avec nos frères et sœurs, concitoyens du Ciel.

Good morning. Well, by popular demand it's back to hummingbird photos this morning of my little feathered friend here, which I was fortunate to be able to photograph over a three day period. But sadly she is now gone for the season, as she as well as all the other hummingbirds in the area have headed south as a result of the first spell of cool fall weather. Hopefully she'll return safe and sound next spring/summer as I was truly enchanted by her antics. And truly blessed by her delicate beauty and for her allowing me to be part of her world for those three days.
And all are best viewed in the large size.
Take care...and I hope everyone has a great day and upcoming weekend.

Wikileaks vs the Pentagon: Phony Fingerpointing
Tom Engelhardt:: Who Really Has Blood On Their Hands?
"Consider the following statement offered by Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a news conference last week. He was discussing Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks as well as the person who has taken responsibility for the vast, still ongoing Afghan War document dump at that site. "Mr. Assange,” Mullen commented, “can say whatever he likes about the greater good he thinks he and his source are doing, but the truth is they might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family.”
Now, if you were the proverbial fair-minded visitor from Mars (who in school civics texts of my childhood always seemed to land on Main Street, U.S.A., to survey the wonders of our American system), you might be a bit taken aback by Mullen’s statement. After all, one of the revelations in the trove of leaked documents Assange put online had to do with how much blood from innocent Afghan civilians was already on American hands.
The British Guardian was one of three publications given early access to the leaked archive, and it began its main article this way: “A huge cache of secret U.S. military files today provides a devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents. They range from the shootings of individual innocents to the often massive loss of life from air strikes...” Or as the paper added in a piece headlined “Secret CIA paramilitaries’ role in civilian deaths”: “Behind the military jargon, the war logs are littered with accounts of civilian tragedies.
The 144 entries in the logs recording some of these so-called ‘blue on white’ events, cover a wide spectrum of day-by-day assaults on Afghans, with hundreds of casualties.” Or as it also reported, when exploring documents related to Task Force 373, an “undisclosed ‘black’ unit” of U.S. special operations forces focused on assassinating Taliban and al-Qaeda “senior officials”: “The logs reveal that TF 373 has also killed civilian men, women, and children and even Afghan police officers who have strayed into its path.”
Admittedly, the events recorded in the Wikileaks archive took place between 2004 and the end of 2009, and so don’t cover the last six months of the Obama administration’s across-the-board surge in Afghanistan. Then again, Admiral Mullen became chairman of the Joint Chiefs in October 2007, and so has been at the helm of the American war machine for more than two of the years in question.
He was, for example, chairman in July 2008, when an American plane or planes took out an Afghan bridal party -- 70 to 90 strong and made up mostly of women -- on a road near the Pakistani border. They were "escorting the bride to meet her groom as local tradition dictates." The bride, whose name we don’t know, died, as did at least 27 other members of the party, including children. Mullen was similarly chairman in August 2008 when a memorial service for a tribal leader in the village of Azizabad in Afghanistan’s Herat Province was hit by repeated U.S. air strikes that killed at least 90 civilians, including perhaps 15 women and up to 60 children. Among the dead were 76 members of one extended family, headed by Reza Khan, a "wealthy businessman with construction and security contracts with the nearby American base at Shindand airport."
Mullen was still chairman in April 2009 when members of the family of Awal Khan, an Afghan army artillery commander on duty elsewhere, were killed in a U.S.-led raid in Khost province in eastern Afghanistan. Among them were his "schoolteacher wife, a 17-year-old daughter named Nadia, a 15-year-old son, Aimal, and his brother, employed by a government department.” Another daughter was wounded and the pregnant wife of Khan's cousin was shot five times in the abdomen.
Mullen remained chairman when, in November 2009, two relatives of Majidullah Qarar, the spokesman for the Minister of Agriculture, were shot down in cold blood in Ghazni City in a Special Operations night raid; as he was -- and here we move beyond the Wikileaks time frame -- when, in February 2010, U.S. Special Forces troops in helicopters struck a convoy of mini-buses, killing up to 27 civilians, including women and children; as he also was when, in that same month, in a special operations night raid, two pregnant women and a teenage girl, as well as a police officer and his brother, were shot to death in their home in a village near Gardez, the capital of Paktia province. After which, the soldiers reportedly dug the bullets out of the bodies, washed the wounds with alcohol, and tried to cover the incident up. He was no less chairman late last month when residents of a small town in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan claimed that a NATO missile attack had killed 52 civilians, an incident that, like just about every other one mentioned above and so many more, was initially denied by U.S. and NATO spokespeople and is now being “investigated.” "

"What is interesting is who is responsible for the killings.
Of the 1,325 civilian deaths recorded by the Afghan human rights group, 23 per cent were attributed to Nato or Afghan government forces. The Taliban and their allies were responsible for 68 per cent of the deaths.
The UN study claimed the civilian death toll was slightly lower at 1,271 with anti-government forces blamed for 76 per cent of the casualties.
Chronicling precise figures is extremely difficult because most parts of the country are inaccessible.
Crucially, both studies suggested that the proportion of deaths attributed to Nato and Afghan government forces were down compared to last year because of fewer air strikes.
This is important because clumsy air strikes on innocent villages and unfair raids on their houses has been driving a lot of Afghans to pick up arms on behalf of insurgents."

I am skeptical about agendas.. It can be confusing, this is why for better or worse one must have THE FACTS - it would have been better if we had them from the START.
Without facts no one cares what we do- or who we kill, because we simply don't have ANY concept of how a decade long war is going..

• International military forces should make more transparent their investigation and reporting on civilian casualties including on accountability; maintain and strengthen directives restricting aerial attacks and the use of night raids; coordinate investigation and reporting of civilian casualties with the Afghan Government to improve protection and accountability; improve compensation processes; and, improve transparency around any harm to civilians caused by Special Forces operations.
• The Afghan Government should create a public body to lead its response to major civilian casualty incidents and its interaction with international military forces and other key actors, ensure investigations include forensic components, ensure transparent and timely compensation to victims; and, improve accountability including discipline or prosecution for any Afghan National Security Forces personnel who unlawfully cause death or injury to civilians or otherwise violate the rights of Afghan citizens."

"Afghan War Diary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Afghan War Diary (also called The War Logs) is a collection of internal U.S. military logs of the War in Afghanistan published by Wikileaks on 25 July 2010.
The logs consist of 91,731 documents, covering the period between January 2004 and December 2009. Most of the documents were classified as "secret", which The New York Times called "a relatively low level of classification".
As of 28 July 2010, only 75,000 of the documents have been released to the public, a move which Wikileaks says is "part of a harm minimization process demanded by [the] source". Prior to releasing the initial 75,000 documents, Wikileaks made the logs available to The Guardian, The New York Times and Der Spiegel in its German and English on-line edition which published reports per previous agreement on that same day, July 25, 2010."
&
"In June 2010, Guardian journalist Nick Davies and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange established that the US army had built a huge database with six years of sensitive military intelligence material, to which many thousands of US soldiers had access and some of them had been able to download copies, and WikiLeaks had one copy which it proposed to publish online, via a series of uncensorable global servers.
Wikileaks describes itself as "a multi-jurisdictional public service designed to protect whistleblowers, journalists and activists who have sensitive materials to communicate to the public."
In an interview with the U.K.'s Channel 4, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said that "we have a stated commitment to a particular kind of process and objective, and that commitment is to get censored material out and never to take it down." He contrasted the group with other media outlets by saying that "other journalists try to verify sources. We don't do that, we verify documents. We don't care where it came from." He denied that the group has an inherent bias against the Afghanistan War, saying that "We don't have a view about whether the war should continue or stop – we do have a view that it should be prosecuted as humanely as possible." However, he also said that he believes the leaked information will turn world public opinion to think more negatively of the war."

"War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford." -
Hannah Arendt
"The leak of tens of thousands of Afghanistan war-related documents tells us more than the sum total of many official communiqués about the war. On balance, more disclosure is a good thing, but the leaking of raw military intelligence is a special case that requires a careful, rather than a cavalier, approach.
There is not enough information about the war, and much official information is misleading. In Canada, the federal government's quarterly reports contain a few updates based on its goals in Kandahar, but little else that informs. The government has already shown itself to be an unreliable source on issues relating to Afghan detainees.
The situation is now too dangerous for the most trustworthy chroniclers – journalists, UN personnel – to go outside NATO-protected areas.
So reliable, independent information is lacking. The circumstances in this war make such information even more necessary."
www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/editorials/we-neede...
"Instead, many eyes will now pore over this data from many different directions, looking for patterns and attempting to eliminate the noise, disinformation and fog of war.
Many will look to it to criticise and condemn the US presence in Afghanistan, but if those on the other side – those who support such military incursions – have any sense, they too will use it to understand better the war in which they find themselves and adapt their counsel to fit more accurately the facts on the ground.
That’s the benefit, usually, of an open society. We get to triangulate on the truth by gathering facts in the public space, then providing them to all sides to chew over. We use this against our own illusions and those of more closed societies who can only view the world through one narrow perspective.": www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2010/0730/1224275801...
( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_ecology )
"The first phase was chilling, in part because the banter of the soldiers was so far beyond the boundaries of civilian discourse. “Just fuckin’, once you get on ’em, just open ’em up,” one of them said. The crew members of the Apache came upon about a dozen men ambling down a street, a block or so from American troops, and reported that five or six of the men were armed with AK-47s; as the Apache maneuvered into position to fire at them, the crew saw one of the Reuters journalists, who were mixed in among the other men, and mistook a long-lensed camera for an RPG. The Apaches fired on the men for twenty-five seconds, killing nearly all of them instantly."

"Wikileaks confirmed: A plan to kill American geologist with poison beer
The Wikileaks documents contain a claim that Pakistan and Afghanistan insurgents were working to poison alcoholic drinks in Afghanistan. While that's unproven, one US adviser in Afghanistan tells the Monitor he was almost poisoned that way in 2007." : www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-South-Central/2010/0728/Wiki...
"This is duplicitous only if you close your eyes to the Pakistani reality, which the Americans never did. There was ample evidence, as the WikiLeaks show, of covert ISI ties to the Taliban. The Americans knew they couldn't break those ties. They settled for what support Pakistan could give them while constantly pressing them harder and harder until genuine fears in Washington emerged that Pakistan could destabilize altogether. Since a stable Pakistan is more important to the United States than a victory in Afghanistan—which it wasn't going to get anyway—the United States released pressure and increased aid. If Pakistan collapsed, then India would be the sole regional power, not something the United States wants."

"Jonathan Foreman, writing for the right of center National Review's Corner blog, hopes the documents will force America to deal with the possible deceptions being made by ally Pakistan. "It is possible that the publication of documents that provide actual evidence — rather than rumors — of the role of ISI personnel in Taliban planning, logistics, and strategy will give the West greater leverage in dealing with Islamabad and might force Pakistan’s political elite to confront the reality of the ISI’s secret activities. If so, that would be a silver lining to what is otherwise a military disaster abetted by the U.S. and British media."

"One surprising consequence of the war in Iraq is the surrender of postmodernism to a victorious modernism. This has been largely overlooked in North America.
In reaction to the U.S. intervention in Iraq, Jacques Derrida, a famous postmodernist, signed on as co-author of an article drafted by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas, previously an opponent of his, in an unmistakable endorsement of modernist Enlightenment principles. Derrida, the apostle of deconstructionism, is now advocating some decidedly constructive and Eurocentric activism.
The article appeared simultaneously in two newspapers on May 31, in German in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as "After the War: The Rebirth of Europe," and in French in Libération, less triumphantly, as "A Plea for a Common Foreign Policy: The demonstrations of Feb. 15 against the war in Iraq designed a new European public space."
Other famous intellectuals joined in with supportive newspaper articles of their own: Umberto Eco (of The Name of the Rose) and Gianni Vattimo in Italy and an American philosopher, Richard Rorty. This provoked much discussion in Europe, but only a few comments so far in North America, the Boston Globe and the Village Voice being rare exceptions.
This week in Montreal, there was an anti-globalization riot in which windows were broken in protest against a World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting. But the Habermas-Derrida declaration praises the WTO and even the International Monetary Fund as part of Weltinnenpolitik: maddeningly hard to translate, but something like "global domestic policy" or "external internal policy."
Yet it is not much of a stretch to claim the young anti-globalists as disciples of postmodernism and Derrida, who has hitherto been a foe of "logocentrism" (putting reason at the centre), "phallologocentrism" (reason is an erect male organ and, as such, damnably central) and Eurocentrism (the old, old West is the homeland of all of the above).
Derrida added a note to the article, observing most people would recognize Habermas's style and thinking in the piece, and that he hadn't had time to write a separate piece. But notwithstanding his "past confrontations" with Habermas (Derrida had objected to being called a "Judaistic mystic," for one thing), he agreed with the article he had signed, which calls for new European responsibilities "beyond all Eurocentrism" and the strengthening of international law and international institutions."

"In early 2003, both Habermas and Derrida were very active in opposing the coming Iraq War, and called for in a manifesto that later became the book Old Europe, New Europe, Core Europe for a tighter union of the states of the European Union in order to provide a power capable of opposing American foreign policy. Derrida wrote a foreword expressing his unqualified subscription to Habermas's declaration of February 2003, "February 15, or, What Binds Europeans Together: Plea for a Common Foreign Policy, Beginning in Core Europe,” in Old Europe, New Europe, Core Europe which was a reaction to the Bush administration demands upon European nations for support for the coming Iraq War[25]. Habermas has offered further context for this declaration in an interview."

Habermas: ”The asymmetry between the concentrated destructive power of the electronically controlled clusters of elegant and versatile missiles in the air and the archaic ferocity of the swarms of bearded warriors outfitted with Kalashnikovs on the ground remains a morally obscene sight
I consider Bush' s decision to call for a "war against terrorism" a serious mistake, both normatively and pragmatically. Normatively, he is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies; and pragmatically, one cannot lead a war against a "network" if the term "war" is to retain any definite meaning.”
Derrida: “To say it all too quickly and in passing, to amplify and clarify just a bit what I said earlier about an absolute threat whose origin is anonymous and not related to any state, such "terrorist" attacks already no longer need planes, bombs, or kamikazes: it is enough to infiltrate a strategically important computer system and introduce a virus or some other disruptive element to paralyze the economic, military, and political resources of an entire country or continent. And this can be attempted from just about anywhere on earth, at very little expense and with minimal means. The relationship between earth, terra territory, and terror has changed, and it is necessary to know that this is because of knowledge, that is, because of technoscience.
It is technoscience that blurs the distinction between war and terrorism. In this regard, when compared to the possibilities for destruction and chaotic disorder that are in reserve, for the future, in the computerized networks of the world, "September 11" is still part of the archaic theater of violence aimed at striking the imagination. One will be able to do even worse tomorrow, invisibly, in silence, more quickly and without any bloodshed, by attacking the computer and informational networks on which the entire life (social, economic, military, and so on) of a "great nation," of the greatest power on earth, depends.”

I am incredibly- delighted at all the vital discussions about the war & US gov that are FINALLY taking place- & on a mass scale- as a result of this leak .. Simply miraculous..
FREEDOM & PEACE ( transparency, diplomacy & the evolution of such ) FOR ALL WAR NATIONS.

Also other dire & serious issues ( out of countless ) - that expose corruption by corporations & gov's:
"A documentary about intensive pig farming due to be screened at the Guardian Hay festival on Sunday is facing a legal threat from one of the companies it investigates. Pig Business criticises the practices of the world's largest pork processor, Smithfield Foods, claiming it is responsible for environmental pollution and health problems among residents near its factories."

"In an investigation broadcast on BBC Radio 5 on November 14, 2004,[79] it was reported that the site is still contaminated with 'thousands' of metric tons of toxic chemicals, including benzene hexachloride and mercury, held in open containers or loose on the ground. A sample of drinking water from a well near the site had levels of contamination 500 times higher than the maximum limits recommended by the World Health Organization.[80]
In 2009, a day before the 25th anniversary of the disaster, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a Delhi based pollution monitoring lab, released latest tests from a study showing that groundwater in areas even three km from the factory up to 38.6 times more pesticides than Indian standards."

Lyrics:
They tied his arms behind
his back to teach him how to
swim They put
blood in his coffee and milk
in his gin They stood over the
soldier in
the midst of the squalor
There was war in his body and
it caused his
brain to holler
Make the sacrifice
mutilate my face
If you need someone to kill
I'm a man without a will
Wash the razor in the rain
Let me luxuriate in pain
Please don't set me free
Death means a lot to me
The pain was lean and it made
him scream he knew he was alive
They put a
pin through the nipples on his chest
He thought he was a saint
I've made love to my mother,
killed my father and my brother
What am I
to do
When a sin goes too far, it's
like a runaway car It cannot
be controlled
Spit upon his face and scream
There's no Oedipus today
This is no play you're thinking you
are in What will you say
Take the blue mask down from my face and
look me in the eye I get a
thrill from punishment
I've always been that way
I loathe and despise repentance
You are permanently stained
Your weakness buys indifference
and indiscretion in the streets
Dirty's what you are and clean is what
you're not You deserve to be
soundly beat
Make the sacrifice
Take it all the way
There's no won't high enough
To stop this desperate day
Don't take death away
Cut the finger at the joint
Cut the stallion at his mount
And stuff it in his mouth

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. "

Taken in the "auxiliary studio" - a 6' wide space behind the leather sofa that gives a fairly pleasing backdrop - using the selfie ring as the light source.
As I spent most of my time working with Riley, by the time I got to Toby my hip and I were tired.
(Note to self - try working with only one dog each day for shooting, and "fake it" for the other - e.g. treats for tricks... yes, they know when it's a photo shoot and they demand their time. No, they don't know if I actually take pictures or not.)
Anyway, I put Toby in a down, plunked the hat on his head, pulled up the light ring, and snapped a couple close-ups.
I think this is my favorite shot with the ring/iPhone so far!

Bonkers' demand is (by now) non-verbal but very obvious - he requires me to let him up on my lap at dinner time.
Policemen detain Eduard Limonov of the unregistered Other Russia party during rally to protest against the results of the parliamentary elections and the policies conducted by Russian authorities in Moscow December 6, 2011. Russians took to the streets of Moscow for the second successive day on Tuesday to demand an end to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's 12-year rule, but riot police blocked their way and hundreds of pro-Kremlin youths tried to spoil the protest.
One of many tax demands which landed on the doorsteps of unsuspecting pensioners recently. Is this an April Fools' Day joke?. I don't owe HMRC a single penny and yet they think I am earning far more than the Prime Minister. ( I wish....) HMRC are serious about this , but it is so ridiculous that you have to laugh, it is they who are the April fools. Don't trust the tax man.
that's all I have since she left me!!!! :-((
I have so many of these shots that it was really difficult to choose which one to post. Obviously I opted for this one and threw in a couple of my own textures that I've been working on which I'm really pleased about.
s'il vous plaît, je demande qu'aucun montréalais ni québécois ne réponde à cette question, à quoi sert ce poteau jaune.
Mise à jour vendredi 29 septembre :
Aujourd'hui, les nouvelles ne sont pas vraiment bonnes ... Le test des anti corps sanguins pour la PIF indique que les valeurs sont hautes mais ne peuvent pas affirmer à 100 % qu'elle est atteinte de la PIF donc elle va redemander une nouvelle analyse et les résultats de seront livrés que dans le milieu de la semaine prochaine.
La cortisone ne semble pas réduire l'inflammation de son oeil gauche, elle peut augmenter un peu la dose mais il y a un risque que cela aggrave son rhume ....
L'endoscopie sur son nez faite aujourd'hui a montré des parois bien enflammées, normal elle est enrhumée ! Le rinçage du nez a été fait aussi.
J'ai demandé si elle souffre ? La vétérinaire me dit qu'elle ne semble pas avoir des douleurs mais qu'elle est très gênée par son rhume.
Je n'aurai pas d'appel ce week-end et donc il faut attendre lundi pour savoir si le nouvel antibiotique qu'elle reçoit depuis hier fait effet pour stopper ce rhume.
J'ai dit que chaque jour les nouvelles m'attristent et que bientôt elle m'annoncera peut-être que Jade a un cancer .....
Alors je prendrai une décision en début de semaine à savoir la maintenir en vie avec un si gros rhume et un oeil pareillement enflammé et ne plus pouvoir manger par elle-même sans cette sonde dans l'oesophage.
Merci pour tous vos messages tout au long de ces jours.
-------
Mise à jour jeudi 28 septembre 2017 :
L'hôpital m'a appelée à 19 h pour me dire que le nez de Jade coule encore beaucoup malgré l'antibiotique depuis une semaine, alors demain la vétérinaire va changer l'antibiotique (je me suis dit que c'était peut-être le moment !)
Demain ils vont l'anesthésier pour lui faire un rinçage du nez et une endoscopie pour aller voir plus haut ses muqueuses.
Ses intestins ont enfin fonctionné, quelle chance !
Le résultat de la prise des sang et des anti corps pour savoir si elle a la PIF ou non n'est pas arrivé !! Depuis 3 jours que j'attends cette réponse ! Elle va appeler le laboratoire demain et faire revoir Jade par l'ophtalmologue.
J'espère que ce rinçage du nez et des nouveaux antibiotiques font faire cesser ce rhume et qu'ils pourront lui retirer la sonde pour manger.
Croisons les doigts pour que demain je ne reçoive pas des mauvaises nouvelles, j'ai eu mal à la tête aujourd'hui avec notre conversation d'hier.
Merci à tous pour votre soutien, je le dirai à Jade combien on l'aime ici.
Bisous à tous.

Mise à jour mercredi 27 septembre :
Les résultats des tests sanguins pour savoir si elle a la PIF ou non ne sont pas encore arrivés.
Je rappelle que ce test des anti corps a été faits car l'inflammation de son oeil pourrait être un symptôme de la PIF.
Donc si elle n'a pas la PIF (ce que j'espère) de quoi vient ce décollement de rétine de son oeil ???
Jade reprend de la vigueur, mais elle est toujours très enrhumée ce qui veut dire qu'actuellement les antibiotiques n'agissent pas et nul ne sait quand ils feront de l'effet.
La vétérinaire me dit que je pourrais aller la chercher demain, mais comme elle a encore une sonde dans l'estomac depuis son oesophage pour la nourrir et qu'il faut lui donner des antibiotiques et de la cortisone par voie orale et des gouttes de cortisone dans les yeux, comment arriverai-je à lui administrer tout cela ? Cela va être trop difficile pour moi car Jade n'est pas facile à soigner. Alors j'ai demandé s'ils ne pouvaient pas la garder encore quelques jours car si son rhume guérit, elle pourrait peut-être à nouveau manger d'elle-même et ainsi la sonde serait retirée.
Vous savez que je suis impatiente de la récupérer mais pas dans ces conditions, chez moi ce serait l'hôpital !
Donc on rediscutera demain avec cette vétérinaire.
----------
Mise à jour mardi 26 septembre :
Jade avait de la fièvre hier aujourd'hui elle n'en a pas eue et elle est plus vive qu'hier.
Ils lui mettent des gouttes de cortisone dans les yeux et vont aussi lui en donner par voie orale.
J'ai demandé si je pouvais aller la voir mais ils me le déconseillent car c'est compliqué puisqu'elle est à l'isolement et ensuite Jade va croire que je viens la chercher et elle sera triste après que je ne l'emmène pas avec moi.
Malgré les antibiotiques elle est toujours enrhumée, ils disent que parfois cela peut agir au bout d'une semaine (on y arrive bientôt) cela dépend des chats.
Les résultats du test des anti corps dans le sang pour la PIF ne sont pas encore connus.
Voilà les nouvelles du jour. Qu'elle soit plus vive est un bon signe alors ce soir je reprends un peu espoir.
---------------
Mise à jour lundi 25 septembre :
L'hôpital m'a appelée ce soir, Jade semble un peu plus éveillée, mais le rhume est toujours là et l'état de son oeil semble s'aggraver avec une inflammation de l'iris et un décollement de la rétine. J'imagine quelle perd la vue. ...
La vétérinaire pense que l'état de son oeil pourrait venir de la PIF (maladie mortelle pour le chat) , elle va reprendre du sang pour des nouvelles analyses et voir les anti corps. Il se peut qu'elle ait une infection bactérienne.
Le test du calici virus est négatif, mais il y a plusieurs familles de coryza.
Elle ne mange toujours pas d'elle-même, bien sûr elle a une sonde de l'oesophage à l'estomac et n'a probablement pas de sensation de faim, mais il est risqué de retirer la sonde si finalement elle ne mange pas puisque son nez est toujours bouché par le rhume.
La vétérinaire me rappellera demain soir pour donner des nouvelles.
Cela devient difficile de penser positif avec tout ce que cette vétérinaire m'a dit aujourd'hui.
Bien sûr un chat peut vivre avec le coryza mais au moindre stress il peut se re-déclarer, et si elle a une PIF (Péritonite infectieuse féline) je ne ferai pas d'acharnement ......
----
Nouvelles infos :
Aujourd'hui 22 septembre, l'hôpital m'a appelée pour me dire que l'anesthésie s'est bien passée et que le scanner ne révèle pas d'abcès, ni de tumeur, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle au moins pour une tumeur, ils pensent qu'elle a une sévère rhinite un calicivirus de la famille du coryza ou de l’herpès. Je n’ai pas tout compris, cette dresse ne parle pas bien français. (Berne est en Suisse allemande).
Ils n'ont pas encore le résultat des analyses.
Hier ils excluaient le coryza et aujourd'hui ils en reparlent ou du moins de ce virus de la famille du coryza.
Elle ne mange toujours pas, ils ont posé une sonde depuis l'oesophage pour la nourrir. Ils continuent la perfusion et les antibiotiques.
Un ophtalmologue doit revenir examiner ses yeux puisque l'un des deux est devenu vert et enflé.
Elle va rester au Tierspital à Berne encore ce week-end et j'aurai des nouvelles informations lundi.
Je ne suis pas encore rassurée hélas .....
----
Ma Jade est très malade depuis le 10 septembre, elle est enrhumée et donc sans odorat un chat ne mange plus. Mercredi dernier elle ne pesait plus que 2 kg aujourd'hui elle doit encore avoir perdu du poids car elle ne veut pas manger.
J'ai consulté 3 fois son vétérinaire le 12, le 15 et le 19 septembre, il lui a donné des antibiotiques qui n'ont fait aucun effet, et je suis passée par divers diagnostics différents : d'une rhinite à un corps étranger coincé dans son nez qui serait la cause de ses éternuements, puis au coryza et hier à peut-être un abcès..... Le coryza ayant été éliminé de la cause de sa maladie hier soir, parce qu'un oeil qui enfle ainsi ne figure pas dans les symptômes du coryza.
Elle est au Tierspital à Berne depuis mercredi et ce matin elle passera un scanner car hier un oeil est devenu vert et il enfle de plus en plus et il lui fait mal. Ils vont lui poser une sonde pour la nourrir. Elle est perfusée depuis mardi matin.
Berne est à 100 km de chez moi donc je ne l'ai pas revue depuis mercredi quand j'ai effectué son transfert là-bas.
L'hôpital m'appellera dans l'après-midi pour me donner le résultat du scanner.
Je suis bien triste et angoissée et elle me manque beaucoup ma choupette.

Last Updated Friday 29 September:
Today the news is not really good ... The anti blood test for PIF indicates that the values are high but can not say 100% that she is infected with BIP so she will ask for a new analysis and results will be delivered only in the middle of next week.
Cortisone does not seem to reduce the inflammation of its left eye, it can increase a little the dose but there is a risk that it aggravates its cold ....
The endoscopy on her nose made today showed the walls well inflamed, normal she is a cold! The rinsing of the nose was also done.
I asked if she is suffering? The veterinarian tells me that she does not seem to have pain but that she is very embarrassed by her cold.
I will not have a call this weekend and so we must wait until Monday to know if the new antibiotic she receives since yesterday has effect to stop this cold.
I said that every day the news makes me sad and that soon she will announce to me that Jade has a cancer .....
So I will make a decision at the beginning of the week to keep it alive with such a big cold and a similarly inflamed eye and not be able to eat by itself without this probe in the esophagus.
Thanks for all your messages throughout these days.
--------
Updated Thursday, September 28, 2017:
The hospital called me at 7 pm to tell me that the nose of Jade still flows a lot despite the antibiotic for a week, so tomorrow the veterinarian will change the antibiotic (I thought maybe it was the moment !)
Tomorrow they go to anesthetize it to make a rinsing of the nose and an endoscopy to go to see higher its mucous membranes.
His intestines finally worked, what a chance!
The result of taking blood and anti bodies to know if she has the PIF or not has not arrived !! For 3 days I have been waiting for this answer! She's going to call the lab tomorrow and see Jade again by the ophthalmologist.
I hope that this rinsing of the nose and the new antibiotics cause to stop this cold and that they will be able to withdraw the probe to him to eat.
Let's cross our fingers so that tomorrow I do not get bad news, I had a headache today with our conversation yesterday.
Thank you all for your support, I will tell Jade how much we love him here.
Kisses to all.

Last Updated Wednesday 27 September:
The results of the blood tests to know whether she has the PIF or not have not yet arrived.
I recall that this antibody test was done because the inflammation of his eye could be a symptom of PIF.
So if it does not have the PIF (which I hope) what does this retina detachment from its eye ???
Jade regains strength, but it is still very cold, which means that antibiotics do not currently act and no one knows when they will make the effect.
The veterinarian told me that I could go and get her tomorrow but as she still has a probe in her stomach from her esophagus to feed her and that she must be given antibiotics and oral cortisone and drops of cortisone in the eyes, how shall I manage to administer all this? This is going to be too difficult for me as Jade is not easy to care for. So I asked if they could not keep it for a few more days because if her cold heals, she might perhaps eat again on her own and so the probe would be removed.
You know I can not wait to get it back, but not in these conditions, at home it would be the hospital!
So we will discuss this tomorrow with this veterinarian.
------
Last Updated Tuesday 26 September:
Jade had a fever yesterday today she did not have and it is more lively than yesterday.
They put cortisone drops in his eyes and will also give it orally.
I asked if I could go see her but they advise against it because it is complicated since she is in isolation and then Jade will believe that I come to look for her and she will be sad after I do not take her with me.
In spite of the antibiotics she is always cold, they say that sometimes it can act after a week (it arrives soon) it depends on the cats.
The results of the antibody test in blood for FIP are not yet known.
That is the news of the day. That it is more lively is a good sign so tonight I take a little hope.
---
Last Updated Monday 25 September:
The hospital called me tonight, Jade seems a little more awake, but the cold is still there and the condition of his eye seems to get worse with inflammation of the iris and detachment of the retina. I imagine what loses sight. ...
The veterinarian thinks that the state of her eye could come from the PIF (deadly disease for the cat), she will take blood for new analyzes and see the anti-bodies. She may have a bacterial infection.
The calici virus test is negative, but there are several families of coryza.
She still does not eat of herself, of course she has an esophagus probe in the stomach and probably does not feel hungry, but it is risky to remove the probe if she finally does not eat since his nose is always blocked by the cold.
The veterinarian will call me tomorrow evening to give some news.
It becomes difficult to think positively with everything this veterinarian told me today.
Of course a cat can live with coryza but at the least stress it can re-declare, and if she has a PIF (infectious feline peritonitis) I will not be fierce ......
----
Update :
Today, September 22, the hospital called me to tell me that the anesthesia went well and that the scanner does not reveal any abscess or tumor, which is good news at least for one tumor, they think she has a severe rhinitis a calicivirus from the family of coryza or herpes. I did not understand everything, this set does not speak French well. (Berne is in German-speaking Switzerland).
They do not yet have the results of the analyzes.
Yesterday they excluded the coryza and today they talk about it or at least of this virus of the coryza family.
She still does not eat, they put a probe from the esophagus to feed her. They continue the infusion and antibiotics.
An ophthalmologist must come back to examine his eyes since one of the two became green and swollen.
She will stay at the Tierspital in Bern again this weekend and I will have news on Monday.
I am not yet reassured alas .....
----
My Jade is very sick since September 10, she is a cold and so without smell a cat does not eat any more. Last Wednesday she weighed only 2 kg today she must still have lost weight because she does not want to eat.
I consulted his veterinarian three times on the 12th, 15th and 19th September, he gave him antibiotics that had no effect, and I went through various diagnoses: from a rhinitis to a foreign body stuck in his nose that would be the cause of his sneezing, then to the coryza and yesterday to perhaps an abscess ..... The coryza having been eliminated from the cause of his illness last night, because an eye that swells thus does not does not appear in the symptoms of coryza.
She is at the Tierspital in Bern since Wednesday and this morning she will pass a scan because yesterday an eye has become green and it swells more and more and it hurts. They will put a probe to feed her. She is infused since Tuesday morning.
Bern is 100 km from my home so I have not seen it since Wednesday when I made his transfer there.
The hospital will call me in the afternoon to give me the result of the scan.
I am very sad and anguished and I miss my little heart.

The Clot de Galvany is a protected natural area with the category of municipal natural site and an area of 366.31 has located in the rural areas of Los Arenales del Sol (hamlet of Elche), Balsares (hamlet of Elche) and Gran Alacant (hamlet of Santa Pola), in the province of Alicante (Spain).
This place is an enclave of great environmental value. In it you can distinguish different ecosystems, which contain a flora and fauna of great relevance on a regional and even state scale. Thus we can highlight the presence of avifauna species such as the brown teal, the crab heron, the white-headed malvasia and the brown porron.
Among the amphibians, the runner toad and the common frog stand out, as well as a great variety of reptiles.
Likewise, this place stands out for the presence of various floral communities dunes, salt marshes and marsh communities, highlighting endemics such as Limonium furfuraceum, L. parvibracteatum and L. santapolense.
The Clot de Galvany also houses the best dune formation in the province of Alicante and one of the best in the Valencian Community, with a system of mobile, semi-fixed and fixed dunes, which in past times and since the 1960s were destroyed by the intense urban activity developed in the context of the strong growth of residential demand linked to the intense tourist activity of the coastal areas of Elche.
It was declared a Municipal Natural Park by agreement of the Council of the Generalitat Valenciana on January 21, 2005.

Excavated in 1367 by Rawal Gadsi Singh, it is a scenic rainwater lake surrounded by the small temples and shrines of Amar Sagar. Earlier, this lake was used to be the main water source of Jaisalmer. Due to an increased water demand for agriculture, the lake is increasingly threatened to dry out.

In the early 1970s, as the government's policy to supply organs and pianos nationwide increased demand, a keyboard instrument store called 'Pagoda Arcade' was built in Tapgol Park and other areas, and wind instrument-related stores were gathered in Jongno 2-ga right next to it. It was. However, in 1979, as part of the Tapgol Park maintenance project, the government demolished the Pagoda Arcade and moved it to Nakwon Shopping Center, which is said to be the first time musical instrument stores were established in Nakwon Shopping Center.
In the 1980s, the Chun Doo-hwan administration lifted the curfew and eased restrictions on entertainment establishments for many international events such as the 1986 Seoul Asian Games and the 1988 Seoul Olympics, which led to an explosive increase in the demand for live bands. As import regulations were relaxed, high-quality imported musical instruments such as Yamaha came into the country and greatly prospered the Nakwon Shopping Center during its growth period. In addition, at the time, Nakwon Shopping Center not only served as a wholesale and retail store for musical instruments, but also served as a training center for musicians. At that time, there were almost no facilities to systematically teach popular music, or in modern terms, ‘practical music’. As a result, Nakwon Shopping Center was crowded with people who wanted to learn various instruments in a short period of time and get jobs as musicians in entertainment establishments. Due to the boom in live bands, the number of stores selling various guitars, drums, and other musical instruments increased, and by 1982, the entire third floor was filled with musical instrument stores, and the offices on the fourth floor were used as warehouses for musical instrument stores. .
In addition, until the early 1990s, Nakwon Shopping Center was virtually the mecca of the music talent market where all performer-related recruitment and job search information in Seoul gathered.[4] Therefore, at that time, there was a separate business that did not deal in musical instruments but had several telephones installed in the office and specialized in intermediating between business owners and performers. As a result, Nakwon Shopping Center consists of business owners who hire professional performers as clerks during the day and sell musical instruments to the general public, professional performers who work as clerks during the day and sell instruments and give musical lessons, and brokers who connect professional performers with entertainment establishments at night. And a complex ecosystem of ordinary people learning musical instruments from professional musicians or buying musical instruments was formed, creating the golden age.
In the late 1990s, the economic crisis led to the closure of entertainment establishments, and the emergence of 'karaoke', which installed karaoke instead of expensive live bands, causing the market for professional performers across the country to collapse. In proportion to this, the demand for musical instruments naturally plummeted, but what unexpectedly saved Nakwon Shopping Center was the demand for churches. Since the late 1980s in American Protestant churches, congregational praise using bands for praise has been popular, but as this spread to Korean Protestant churches, it has become a trend for each church to have a band team. I didn't say his playing skills were good. This is why quite a few of the professional musicians currently active are from Protestant churches[5]. In the late 2000s, around the time when demand for churches began to wane[6], the field of so-called 'practical music' emerged, and practical music departments were established in junior colleges and four-year universities. In the late 2000s, idol bands such as FT Island appeared on terrestrial channels, and in the 2010s. Due to the early Cesibong craze, the emergence of young folk song bands such as Busker Busker, and the production of various audition programs, demand for musical instruments from the general public recovered to some extent.
The SVR's hybrid Class 101/108 DMU arrives into Kidderminster Town on 21st April 2025, forming the 0952 am departure from Highley.

The old fishing village Calella de Palafrugell might be one of the most photographed places in Costa Brava. With the white walled houses typical of the coastal villages in Catalonia and the unique promenade with arches, this village offers many photogenic opportunities. This particular afternoon, I was fortunate to visit just as a storm was approaching, letting me frame against the sun. In spite of the threating sky, the sea seemed to confirm the expression of the calm before the storm. In case you happen to like one of my photographs, I would like to mention that I sell prints of my best ones at the print-on-demand site Redbubble (www.redbubble.com/people/kimvbpedersen/).
