A court in Ecuador has found Chevron guilty of massive environmental pollution and human rights violations in the Amazon, and has ordered the company to pay $8 billion to clean it up. But Chevron has vowed to appeal the decision, and clearly plans to stall indefinitely, hoping never to pay its due. So the Change Chevron team got together with our friends and allies at Amazon Watch, Greenpeace, Global Exchange, and Communities for a Better Environment (of Richmond, CA) headed down to Chevron’s HQ in San Ramon, CA, and delivered a message to the company: Chevron was found guilty because the company is guilty. Time to accept responsibility and clean up the oily mess in Ecuador!

Lately I have been utterly lacking in photography, which is caused by (more-than-likely) my suddenly busy schedule, the fact that the sun is setting sooner and sooner, and because of my 52 Weeks ending a while ago. I no longer have as much passion as I once did for photography. No, that's not correct. I just have lost my inspiration, the thrill of taking photos and the time to take such photos. I feel like every photo I have taken lately has done nothing but fail, and it causes me great anger and annoyance.
What has caused this, above all, is the fact that I do not know my emotions lately. They are all clustered together, all jumbled together in one big plastic rubber band ball that is bouncing around my skull. I want to take photos that express my emotions yet I do not have the time to sit down and evaluate these emotions that I am having, and I just need to do that in order to get that block out of the way.
Also, I have been skipping a lot of school in the past two to three weeks because I am sick of school. I finished my book and the illustrations are finished completely, so I have nothing to do in the afternoon so I become bored and say, "Screw it!" and leave. Having nothing to do is part of the reason, the other part is that I am already sick of school. I am beyond annoyed by waking up early and going to bed late, of doing assignments, of being in a classroom, etc. Next quad I have easy classes and I am doing photography next quad so, that works out great considering I will be doing that while my 365 starts and their is a lot of darkness.
Speaking of my 365, I am terrified of it. How the hell am I supposed to take a photo a day? Seriously. I am mainly doing this because I learned so much from my 52 Weeks that made me really want to do a 365. I am beyond thrilled yet terrified at the same time.
In other news, I have been also busy with watching TV shows (mainly Doctor Who) and I have a feeling that's not healthy.
Speaking of health, I'm starting to eat healthy. Damn.
This fake blood catastrophe was caused by the fact that I took these on Halloween and I had bought vampire fangs. I also just learned how to make fake blood. For me, it's much too syrupy so I am going to look for other recipes. Note to self: buy red food coloring.
And last of all on this long ramble: I am turning sixteen this Saturday. Hell yes. Not really. I don't know. I am more excited by the fact that there is no snow on the ground yet.
Oh yes, I love it when Flickr butchers the quality. Thank you so much!
This was my first visit to Istanbul and soon became enthralled with the city. One of the reasons was many parts of the city had a slightly rural feel and these villages each were very quaint.
Even along the busy waterway, i saw gaggles of geese helping to keep the lawn tidy. These guys though look like they were doing something wrong and were caught in the act. Grew to love the expressions on their faces as I watched them.
On 21 March 2016, Trial Chamber III of the International Criminal Court (“ICC” or “Court”) declared, unanimously, Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo guilty beyond any reasonable doubt of two counts of crimes against humanity (murder and rape) and three counts of war crimes (murder, rape, and pillaging). The crimes were committed in Central African Republic (“CAR”) from on or about 26 October 2002 to 15 March 2003 (“2002-2003 CAR Operation”) by a contingent of Mouvement de Libération du Congo (“MLC”) troops. Mr Bemba was a person effectively acting as a military commander with effective authority and control over the forces that committed the crimes.

This was Lucy, still in the box, after I 'rescued' her from the top of the fridge/freezer. Is there a hint of contrition in those eyes ... or is she just plotting the next adventure? :)

Vogelsang IP
The former Nazi “Ordensburg” Vogelsang is not only one of the largest constructions of National Socialism, but also an expression of its arrogance and contempt for mankind. Through the military use as "Camp Vogelsang" after the Second World War, the location also reflects the path from the "Cold War" to the Europe of today. Since 2006, a new location has been developing here: Vogelsang IP as an "international place" for tolerance, diversity and peaceful coexistence. The lessons from history are seen as both a duty and an opportunity. Appreciation, dialogue and openness are attitudes to which all facilities at the location are dedicated.
The permanent exhibition at Vogelsang IP focuses on the young men who were selected to be moulded into a future leadership elite of the National Socialist regime. The example of Vogelsang demonstrates the large extent to which architecture was used to document power and control of the Party.
The Ordensburgen were always both training centres and stages for the self-projection of the NSDAP leaders. At the same time, they were characterized by an air of incompleteness and haste: many things appeared to be improvised and driven by restlessness. This applies above all for the educational curricula of the courses, which were constantly changed and criticised within the Party.
Nevertheless, the Ordensjunker, (knights of the Order), as they called themselves, were presented to the German people as the new party elite. Many of them actually felt as if they were just that. With their entry into the Ordensburgen they believed that they had found a way to achieve social advancement and a professional career. The male association into which they were accepted promised them safety and protection and the comradeship of like-minded men.
Their minds were ideologically moulded by lectures and seminars but also by physical training with military drills and many kinds of sports. Particularly in the courses on “racial studies”, the image of their alleged superiority was constantly reinforced. A National Socialist substitute religion with rites and solemn ceremonies helped the Ordensjunker believe that they were participating in the creation of a “new race” of the future.
With this ideological background, the men of the Ordensburgen initially went as soldiers into a war which was, particularly in the east, a war of racial extermination. Several hundred of them were deployed to Poland, the Baltic States, Belarus and the Ukraine like modern colonisers. Many of them were involved in the National Socialist crimes in these regions. It took a very long time before post-war society and ultimately the judicial system began to take an interest in individual perpetrators.
At the conclusion of the exhibition, questions remain that deliberately reach beyond the history of National Socialism: What would we have thought ourselves? How would we have acted had we been alive in a similar time and given a similar task? Are there any comparable situations in the today’s world? What do democracy and plurality mean to us in our society today?
