Respect Existence or Expect Resistance. Occupy Dame Street, Ireland, 14th March 2012, after the eviction.
Occupy Dame Street was a protest occupation in front of the Central Bank of Ireland in Dublin city centre. It was calling for a change in the economic, political and social situation in Ireland and for direct participatory democracy. Expressing dissent against the bailouts, management of the "financial crisis" and current economic policy. The protest was unaffiliated to any political party or organisation and offered multiple alternatives. In concert with over 1000 other actions taking place around the world. It began on 8th October 2011 and maintained a continuous presence there until 8th March 2012, when evicted by police. Activists remained in the plaza and held regular general assemblies until 17th March 2012.
A previous existence as a military parachutist helped Patrick Baty on this project. The 185ft bridge had to be scaled at night, when the trains had stopped running, in order for paint samples to be taken.
See the BBC clip here.
He was able to establish that this famous bridge by Isambard Kingdom Brunel had originally been painted with a white “anti-corrosive” paint containing ground glass. The bridge had been painted twenty times and with a combination of physical and documentary analysis Patrick was able to work out how it looked since it was built in 1859.
the existence of the church was first reported by a roman nun ( etheria ) who made a pilgrimage to the site

"In my own experience living in the begijnhof, I have come to appreciate the quiet and peaceful existence it offers. Once inside the begijnhof’s walls, the noise of the city fades away. The silence is punctuated by the sound of footsteps on the cobblestones, or by the basilica’s carillon, which plays a melody every half-hour. At night, the narrow streets are lit only by lanterns.
Despite this peacefulness, Leuven’s Groot Begijnhof is a lively, international intellectual community. My neighbors and their families come from all over the world and work in a variety of fields. And we all consider ourselves fortunate to find ourselves living in an area so steeped in history."

I believe these 'white-coloured red kites' are extremely rare with only around ten in existence anywhere in the world. This one was patiently siting in a tree to the south east of the feeding area and only flew when the beef was being discharged by the tractor driver. If this is the only one in the area, I've seen it before flying along a rocky ridge at a nearby nature reserve in the Wye Valley.
Leucism is a genetic condition which inhibits the production and deposition of melanin and other pigments in the feathers, hair, or skin and results in birds with pale or white plumage. However, unlike albinism, their eyes, legs and beak are unaffected and retain their normal colour.
The Gigrin Farm rehabilitation centre's first ever patient in January 2003 was a Leucistic red kite!
Photos were taken at the Gigrin Farm Red Kite Centre which overlooks the Wye and Elan Valleys in Mid Wales and just outside the market town of Rhayader.
The Kites are fed once daily and people can watch and take photographs either from an open field or from hides which form an arc looking east around the feeding site. The orientation ensures good afternoon light.
Red Kites used to be rare in Wales and if you wanted to see them in the 1990's, you'd come here. Their numbers slowly increased and the birds began to spread. I remember reports of red kites over Lake Vyrnwy about fifteen years ago and after that, you'd even see them in Shropshire. There may be other kite feeding centres in Wales, but you're always guaranteed to see loads of them at Gigrin Farm although they will be moving very, very quickly during feeding time.
Red kites used to roost at the farm and they were fed when it was possible to do so. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) asked the owners if they could continue on a formal basis. The owners obliged and the centre came into being. The centre expanded and even has rehabilitation facilities for injured birds. The feeding does not replace the kite's normal diet, it supplements it, their normal diet being roadkill, dead animals and even worms, insects and amphibians.

This photo is quite bad quality, as it was taken on my phone at school. But I thought the picture fitted the quote reasonably well, especially with the people walking across the field.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
"The very existence of national groupsâtheir history, their memory and their futureârests on their members right to life, but scholars sometimes pay too little attention to assaults on the cultural identities of such groups which often precede physical attacks.
âPlundered Cultures, Stolen Heritageââ Concordia Universityâs contribution to Canadaâs year of Holocaust Remembrance leadershipâ begins the task of filling that gap and integrating our knowledge. Leading experts on the experiences of cultural destruction and mass atrocities suffered by the First Nations, Armenian and Jewish peoples are assembling to discuss the motives of the perpetrators of these assaults, their impact,
and the significance these attacks pose for restitution and reconciliation today.
âPlundered Cultures, Stolen Heritageâ opens a key chapter in multidisciplinary human rights studies integrating research on history, cultural studies and the memory of atrocity. Rather than a competition of suffering between groups, it signifies the determination of scholars to learn from the shared experiences of First Nations, Armenian and Jewish groups for the sake of
all groups confronting crimes against humanity and genocides intended to destroy their national existence."
