For the Smile on Saturday theme "Orange"
My first entry was rather red than orange, so I replaced it with my second choice.

The wood wedding is, like the Silver and Golden Wedding, a jubilee day of the marriage. It is celebrated in the fifth anniversary of the wedding. It’s easy to explain why this day is associated with wood: wood, a natural and robust material, has always stood for stability and happiness. After all, it’s no coincidence that there is a rite of tapping on wood.

My entry for week three of Innovalug’s Style It Up contest.
This week participants were tasked with building a model that made contact with the ground with four studs or less.
My original plan was to make a squadron of micro starfighters navigating some three-dimensional scene. Somewhere in the process of realizing the concept in LEGO, the scale got away from me and I ended up with a Falcon about five times bigger than anticipated!
With more time and bricks I'd have liked to do an escape from the Death Star II. I think these in red would be perfect for such a scene!
This is a return to my comfort zone with a Star Wars build but perhaps still a bit of a gamble with the diorama element.

At the school where I work in the inner city, many of the girls have their names tattooed on their arms to help with later identification. That's how prevalent assaults are and how deep the fear runs in families and communities around female indigenous people, even today. The stories are all-too common and horrendous.

Participants in London's Al-Quds rally call for people to boycott Israel until the Palestinians are given their freedom and a just settlement.
Several thousand people, including many women and family groups, had gathered to express their support for the Palestinian struggle for justice and self-determination on Al Quds Day, which is held annually around the world and in central London.
[ Just in case anyone is interested I have attached a link to my research on British crimes against both Arabs and Jews in Palestine during the mandate period - 1919-1948. Use the following url and scroll down the list of countries alphabetically for Palestine - roguenation.org/choose-by-country/ ]
Despite the threats from far right extremists to disrupt the march, the numbers attending were high with barely any space to move in Curzon Street, Mayfair, where the rally assembled for the opening speeches.
A stretch of the street immediately in front of the Saudi Embassy had been chosen, due to the monarchical regime's tacit and often open support for Israel's occupation and its crushing of all Palestinian opposition. Israel enjoys a huge diplomatic and strategic advantage, having obtained the support of the US/UK backed neighbouring Arab dictatorships in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Many on the rally were also angry that the UK is exporting arms to Israel, even though it continues to defy international law by imposing a brutal blockade on Gaza and building illegal settlements on Palestinian land while at the same time its army uses lethal force against unarmed protesters.
Although there is overwhelming evidence of Israel's persistent violation of Palestinian human rights, the UK government has exported 445 million dollars worth of military equipment to the country since 2014, including components for fighter aircraft, helicopters and sniper rifles.
It is obvious that it is Israel which is the rogue state, not just by refusing to comply with international law but also by killing protesters who clearly present no danger, but the "mainstream" British media portrays opposition to the Israeli occupation as the problem blaming Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah and even the Al Quds march in London.
Editorials insisted that the rally was a provocative and extremist event due to the presence of Hezbollah flags, however the papers felt no similar need to criticize the flying of Isreali flags representing a state which has murdered over 130 Palestinians in the last two months, including nurse Razzan al-Najjar, two journalists and several children, as well as injuring 3,600 with live ammunition.
Nor, for that matter, had there been more than a few token critical comments when Israel's prime minister Netanyahu, directly responsible for the killings, visited Downing Street for tea on the previous Wednesday.
Among the supposedly more progressive newspapers the Guardian refused to publish a drawing by its own cartoonist Steve Bell which depicted nurse Razan as one of the victims of the meeting, claiming that the depiction of Razan burning in Number 10's fireplace was anti-semitic.
The casualty figures during the recent shootings clearly show how Israel's use of lethal force is entirely out of proportion to any marginal and highly limited use of force by those besieged in the Gaza enclave. Not a single Israeli soldier has been injured during the targeting of Palestinian protesters and one of the Palestinians killed, Yasser Murtada, was a well respected journalist who had previously worked for the BBC, and was clearly wearing a PRESS jacket at the moment he was shot in the chest by a carefully aimed sniper's bullet.
Another was Razan al-Najjar, a 21 year old Palestinian medic, who was wearing her white medic's uniform, an identification tag and had her arms raised high in the air at the time she was fatally shot in the chest.
Both were killed some distance from the illegally erected border/prison fence which isolates the population of Gaza from both their family relatives and any chance of gainful economic employment in wealthier areas.
That's why the popular anology which compares Israel to South African apartheid is highly misleading because in South Africa, at least the white population needed the blacks as workers, even if they committed appalling atrocities, but in Israel the Palestinian population are neither needed nor wanted by Israeli employees.
Palestinians are treated worse than dogs, to whom humans tend to show some sympathy, but rather as unworthy of any consideration, so much so that past Israeli military operations against Gaza in which the planners know thousands of civilians are likely to die are given the military term "mowing the grass", because the Palestinian civilian population is considered of no more value in importance, than the ants one might tread underfoot when one ventures into the garden.

The most spectacular ritual of Vanuatu is probably the naghol or land diving practised in the southern part of Pentecost island. It has both an initiation and an agrarian significance as it takes place in April and May just after the first yams have been harvested. The men throw themselves from the top ofa tower built of branches that can be up to 30m high. Pieces of vine tied around their ankles prevent them from hitting the ground and killing themselves. Each man builds his own jumpingplatform a sort of diving board at his preferred height and cuts his own length of vine. The pieces of vine are carefully chosen: if they are too dry they will snap and if they are too long the man will hit the ground and kill himself. The ground around the tower is cleaned and softened because the divers' heads must lightly brush the ground. On the day of the dives the men and women of the village gather at the base of the tower. The men sing and sway in a hypnotic movement while the women merely dance with Croton leaves in their hands
Between 20 and 60 men will perform the land dives. The youngest go first. Their platform is set at a modest height. The most experienced and the boldest go last and dive from the top of the tower. The divers balance themselves on the edge of their platform concentrate and lift one or both arms to the sky. Some make short speeches to the spectators. Then they dive with their arms crossed over their chests and their knees bent. Somewhat groggy on their arrival on the ground they are helped to their feet and praised by the spectators who chop off the remaining vines from their ankles with a machete.
Le rituel le plus spectaculaire du Vanuatu est probablement le saut dans le vide, ou naghol, pratiqué dans le sud de l’île de Pentecôte. À la fois rite initiatique et agraire, il a lieu aux mois d’avril et de mai, peu après la récolte des premières ignames. Les hommes se jettent du haut d’une tour construite en branches, qui peut atteindre trente mètres. Ils sont attachés aux chevilles par des lianes qui leur évitent de s’écraser au sol. Chaque homme construit sa plate-forme, utilisée comme une sorte de plongeoir, à la hauteur de son choix. Il coupe à la longueur nécessaire ses lianes. Le choix de la liane est d’une importance critique : trop sèche elle peut se briser, trop longue elle peut entraîner la mort. Le terrain, au pied de la tour, est nettoyé et amolli car le crâne du participant doit effleurer le sol. Le jour du saut, hommes et femmes se réunissent au pied de la tour. Les hommes chantent en se balançant en un mouvement hypnotique tandis que les femmes, feuilles de croton à la main, se contentent de danser. Entre 20 et 60 hommes vont s’élancer dans le vide. Les plus jeunes débutent. Leur plate-forme est située à une hauteur modeste. Les plus expérimentés ou les plus audacieux passeront en dernier et se jetteront du sommet de la tour. Les sauteurs se tiennent en équilibre au bord de leur plate-forme. Ils se concentrent, lèvent un bras ou les deux vers le ciel. Ils peuvent aussi adresser un petit discours à l’assistance. Puis ils se jettent, les bras repliés sur la poitrine et les jambes fléchies. Légèrement groggy à son arrivée au sol, le sauteur est remis sur pied et fêté par des assistants qui coupent ses lianes à l’aide d’une machette.
