Waiting at the level crossing, back from the schools. It's been a while. I see them everyday, the TWO PIGEONS. They're a couple. They stay in, them sit on the window sill, and watch us waiting.

Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia
Colleagues! Comrades! Friends! This is the director of the Laboratory of Ornithology at the Cardboardia Research Institute. I appeal to all employees of the Laboratory, all its interns and volunteers, as well as to all those who are not indifferent to the scientific progress of the state of Cardboardia.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia.
Our field trip to Kirov, the New Year's capital of Russia in 2025, was recently completed. I am ready to state with full responsibility that all the tasks set have been achieved. We continued our long-standing observations of changes in the level of happiness of the population depending on its geographical location and the time of the year. We have successfully and fruitfully conducted training and retraining of local personnel for potential further participation in the programs of our Research Institute (as well as several permanent residence visas in Cardboardia). Our main task has also been completed — the Vyatka-Kirov Bird of Happiness has been discovered, examined and studied. All received materials will be transferred to the main department of the Research Institute for further work.
I can't help but share some more specific research results. It turned out that the following actions and factors significantly increase the level of happiness in human blood:
• A sharp smile from ear to ear. However, if you have weak blood vessels, you should not use it more than 2-3 times a day.;
• the presence of a headdress on the head (regardless of its appearance and the time of day and year outside the window);
• voluntary and compulsory gymnastics;
At the same time, to our surprise, the following factors negatively affect the level of happiness (both in the short and long term):
• Regular queuing;
• moving up the career ladder too fast;
• a person's lack of sense of rhythm;
According to the tradition of our Research Institute, the Laboratory ended with a large-scale urban march. Several hundred citizens and visitors from other cities who came to Kirov temporarily became naturalists (and at the same time naturalists). The prototype of the Bird of Happiness created by us during the Laboratory has become not only the spiritual, but also the material center of the procession. All the participants, armed with all kinds of objects created by them during our Open Workshops, formed the mass, the core of the procession. Its main purpose was to test in practice (it is important — outdoors) the ability of Happiness to concentrate in various manifestations of human culture: in color, sound, matter.
One can already admit that the whole procession was one big scientific experiment. In addition to the above, it confirmed another of our hypotheses — happiness can be transmitted through physical contact. All the participants of the march were in close physical proximity to each other, which does not happen so often in everyday life. Therefore, today's advice from scientists is to stay with your friends and family more often, hug and do not be afraid of live contact with people. Infection with a bad mood through touching has not yet been proven. In the near future, the Publishing House of Cardboardia, I hope, will release a specialized brochure "Happiness at home and in reality" on how to stay happy under any circumstances.
Concluding my report, I would like to thank the Tyran of Cardboardia for such an attentive and reverent attitude towards science, its development and, most importantly, its people. Hooray, friends! Your I. K

La seguridad alimentaria como pilar fundamental en un nuevo escenario de paz y posconflicto fue el tema analizado este martes en el foro internacional Seguridad Alimentaria, "Un camino hacia la Paz", en el que reconocidas voces como las nobeles de Paz, Betty Williams (1976) y Tawakkol Karman (2011), ministros de región e instituciones del Estado, intercambiaron experiencias para el desarrollo social y fortalecer la gestión de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en todo el país con énfasis en el sector rural.
El foro fue presidido por el representante Regional para América Latina y el Caribe de FAO, Julio Antonio Berdegué Sacristán y el director general de Prosperidad Social, Nemesio Roys Garzón.
"Lo más importante es asegurarse que los niños no tengan hambre. Todo el tiempo que tengas hambre piensa en los niños de Etiopía y pregúntate cómo podemos ayudarlos", expresó Betty Williams, pacifista norte-irlandesa quien ha dedicado su vida a crear soluciones en la lucha contra las injusticias cometidas con los niños del mundo y galardonada con el Premio Nobel, junto con Mairead Maguire, por su liderazgo pacífico en el conflicto de Irlanda del Norte.
Así mismo, la periodista, política Tawakkol Karman, ganadora del Premio Nobel por la defensa de los derechos humanos, aseguró: "La mujer desempeña un papel fundamental en la reducción de la pobreza", explicó la activista y líder política yemení, llamada la "Mujer de Hierro" y la "Madre de la Revolución".
A su turno, el director general de Prosperidad Social, Nemesio Roys Garzón, manifestó: "La guerra en Colombia dejó pobreza. La pobreza dejó hambre. La lucha para alcanzar la seguridad alimentaria hay que hacerla ahora y hay que hacerla bien".
Por su parte Julio Antonio Berdegué Sacristán, representante Regional para América Latina y el Caribe, FAO aseguró: "Lo que Colombia está haciendo es garantizar a la población un aumento en el consumo. En un mundo donde el conflicto se agudiza, Colombia reduce la subalimentacion, gracias a esta nueva etapa".
El foro contó con la participación de diferentes actores, quienes sensibilizaron a los asistentes en torno al tema de la seguridad alimentaria y a su vez, mostraron cómo se pueden trabajar los proyectos a nivel político en las comunidades rurales, especialmente en la planificación para el desarrollo integral del territorio.

This is the original photo. LOOKS LIKE A TINY HUMAN LOOKING UP AT HIS LUCKY FINDERS!
After extensive searching on the net, I have found a few "crab" spiders that have human like faces, but NONE are as STUNNING as this one! I think the kicker is the fact that the "face" on its back appears to be looking directly at the camera!
watercolours mainly, i used a black pen to poutline some parts of eyes and flowers to give it character, used white acrylic to give the eyes a shine and black acrylic to make the lashes fuller
In cooperation with the Luxembourg Presidency, we organised an inspiring Benelux day dedicated to the fight against human trafficking and better protection of victims.
Academics, policymakers and professionals from the field discussed tools to tackle forms of exploitation and better support victims.
