ella did not want a pose, no matter how much cajoling dad tried.
it was a miserable, cold and wet day and despite being dressed in a beautiful kimono, ella was in no mood for play. i asked her parents if i could take a picture of her. although parents were game, ella was not. i bet she wished she was under the plastic cover like her brother.
Pat Gorman has an interest in railroads and in ships, including the ill-fated White Star liner Titanic. The Titanic sank on its maiden voyage after striking an iceberg in April 1912 in the North Atlantic. Gorman, who once owned a hobby shop, decided to create an HO scale model of the Titanic, in part because he knew that certain items he needed, e.g., people, were easily available in HO scale, which is 1:87 (3.5 mm to 1 foot of the prototype)
Although the model remains a work in progress, it is substantially complete. It is shown sitting on a picnic table at Headlands Beach State Park near Mentor, Ohio. To show the size of Titanic, Gorman brought along an HO scale model of an F7 locomotive painted in the livery of the Bessemer & Lake Erie, one of his favorite railroads.
Join the 57,000+ people who (as of the morning of 19.09) have already signed the petition to demand #JusticeForChrisKaba
www.change.org/p/demand-justice-for-chris-kaba
On Saturday 17 September, hundreds of people gathered outside New Scotland Yard in central London to protest the fatal shooting of a 24-year-old black man in his car, by an armed police officer twelve days earlier at Streatham Hill in South London. There was no gun found either in the vehicle or anywhere nearby. Several of the protesters I spoke to, maintained that the young man and expectant father wouldn't have been shot dead had he not been black. Neither could they understand how Chris Kaba could have posed any possible immediate threat to life to justify the use of lethal force.
Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Labour MP for Streatham, told the crowd that
'When Chris Kaba was shot and killed, the narrative we heard from the media was that he was a drill artist, that he was a rapper, that he had been to prison before. Look at him. He's clearly a criminal.... almost as if to say that because of any of that and because he was a black man, he may have deserved what happened to him. That is a really popular narrative. When people get up and shout "Black lives matter" and people shout "Don't be ridiculous - all lives matter," there's a clear reason why they are doing it, because in popular narrative black lives don't, if they did people wouldn't be giving justifications for Chris to die in that way; nobody deserves to die in that way, let's be absolutely clear.'
Shortly afterwards, Jeremy Corbyn spoke and was critical of the police response.
"We are here today to mourn his (Chris Kaba's) death, mourn his passing, to remember his life, but also to show that we will never allow him to be forgotten. We will never allow the victims of this kind of violence on either side of the Atlantic ever to be forgotten. We cannot have a situation where somebody is shot dead through the windscreen of a car and the officer concerned is not immediately suspended from the police force, not from duty, from the police force. And as Bell (the MP) and others have pointed out, in any other job or profession or walk of life, if someone dies as a result of possibly your action you get suspended. If you are a train driver, a bus driver or a delivery driver involved in a terrible accident, you need to be suspended so that enquiries can take place. And so, I absolutely support the demands made by the family."
Some of those present at the protest had seen their family members either shot by the police or die in police custody. Among them was Lee Lawrence. In September 1985, when he was only eleven years old, his mother, Cherry Groce, had been paralysed from the chest down after being shot by a police officer inside their home, after she got up from her bed to investigate the noise caused by an early morning raid by officers who were looking for Lawrence's older brother Michael. His mother died in 2011, the year when Mark Duggan was shot dead in Tottenham sparking widespread civil unrest.

"We never got justice," Larwrence told the crowd. "Justice is about fairness and if we received justice my mother would not have been killed. We will hold their legacy and their deaths will stand for something. We owe it to them to never give up."

Man was matter, that was Snowden`s secret.
Drop him out the window and he`ll fall.
Set fire to him and he`ll burn.
Bury him and he`ll rot like other kinds of garbage.
The spirit gone, man is garbage.
That was Snowden`s secret.
Ripeness was all.
I`m cold, Snowden said. I`m cold.
There, there, said Yossarian.
There, there.

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

…or, actually, it doesn’t. Especially when you’re thrifting. I bought this sweater and skirt on the same day at the same store, but they’re from different eras. The sweater (vintage) is an 8 and the skirt (modern) is a 0. Totally ridiculous.
Sweater, R and K Knits (vintage and thrifted). Skirt, The Limited (thrifted). Boots, Vince Camuto. Furry collar, gift. Jacket, H&M (thrifted). Socks, Sock Dreams. Necklace, Urban Outfitters.
I appreciate it when thrift stores organize clothing by size, but I try to be mindful of the vagaries of sizing. I usually browse the sections outside of my size range and I don’t allow a number to scare me off from at least trying on a possible garment.

Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. How times have changed since World Environment Day was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. We wonder if they considered then that today climate change and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty.
Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. It poses a serious threat to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially during a period of global economic recession, when resources needed to cope with climate change may be reassigned. Agriculture and deforestation account for 30 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. These two sectors can therefore contribute to reducing emissions if agricultural practices are changed.
Poor people in developing countries are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The negative impacts on their crop yields are already being felt and will be increasingly severe. Climate change is likely to affect forest expansion and migration, and exacerbate threats to biodiversity resulting from land use/cover change and population pressure. Marine and coastal ecosystems are likely to be affected by sea level rise and temperature increases. Human health will also be adversely affected. Rising temperatures and rainfall variability had led to more climate-induced diseases and heat stress.
We are homo consumens of the earth and very young specie still trying to understand the mysteries of nature and in our ignorance we have destroyed it. Climate change offers humanity no second chances. Only rich countries can break the deadlock crippling international climate negotiations and prevent the world lurching into climate disaster. We should find a way to measure the general well-being of the people and planet rather than just raw economic growth.
