WESTERN DARFUR ON VERGE OF ABYSS, UNDER-SECRETARY-GENERAL FOR HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS
WARNS SECURITY COUNCIL IN BRIEFING FOLLOWING RECENT VISIT TO DARFUR, UGANDA
For More Than 1,000 Days, Nights, Darfur’s Defenceless Civilians
Fear for Lives; Sudanese Government’s Failure to Protect Is ‘Shameful’
With a volatile mix of Government forces, militias, rebels and armed opposition groups from Chad roaming freely throughout much of the Sudan’s western Darfur spreading fear and terror, the United Nations top humanitarian official warned the Security Council that war-torn western Darfur was close to the abyss, and suggested that faster progress in the peace process could be made if those negotiating in hotels in big cities did so in the refugee camps, accompanied by their wives and children.
Briefing the Council on his recent visits to Darfur and northern Uganda, Jan Egeland, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, said “for more than a thousand days and a thousand nights, the defenceless civilians of Darfur have been in fear for their lives, and the lives of their children. The Government’s failure to protect its own citizens even in areas where there are no rebels, has been shameful and continues. So does our own failure, more than a year after world leaders in this very building pledged their own responsibility to protect civilians where the Government manifestly fails to do so.”
I say this everytime, but I think Im done with Six Flags. Amusement parks are just too much, not even the rollercoasters can cheer me up when Im bombarded with shitty overpriced foods, advertisements everywhere (Really a big banner for hair gel across the "haunted house" Poltergeist ride?) and 1 hr wait times. I'll stick to my true love: Carnivals, Delicious treats, dirty carnies, night time neon lights....
Came back from the vet hospital (not clinic...hospital). The visit hours are between 8 pm and 9 pm! We (Dan, my mom, her boyfriend and I) sat on the floor in a little private room and gave as much affection as possible to Brian for 1 short hour. Poor baby was on morphine and had problem laying down bacause of his intravenous kit (the green thing on his leg). So I made him a "nest" with my scarf and he slept there for a few minutes. He looked so happy to see us.
The doctor gave us in a little plastic container the object that was stuck in Brian intestine: a 3/4in by 1in piece of rubber ball that he probably got at the dog park. I will keep it forever as a souvenir of the trip to Berlin that we won't do this year! Bye bye 2500-3000$ !!!! I really LOVE my dog!
He is coming back tomorrow :)
March 15, 2014, in Tbilisi, Georgia, Green Fist, Food not Bombs and Youth for Heritage hosted a protest concert in front of Tbilisi State University to raise awareness and mobilize society against Khudoni hydropower development project planned on Enguri river, in Svaneti – in a mountainous region of unique beauty. The project involves construction of 650 MW hydropower station with 200 meter high dam; as a result of the project, 530 hectares of land will be inundated and around 1500 people will be physically relocated from their ancestral lands, traditionally owned by indigenous Svan communities for centuries.

Discover the gem of the Highlands – Mary Lake Nature Sanctuary
The Mary Lake nature sanctuary is a 67 acre protected forest and riparian area that supports biodiversity while preserving ecosystems and wildlife habitat. It is also the home of the “Highlands Nature House” which sits on the water’s edge, within the tranquil natural environment, inspiring an awareness of nature as teacher and essential ally.
I make this simple and abstract logo for one little organisation which militate for a cause of nature...for all peolples who love our planet.

"Message from Mary S.: The future of the Internet as we know it is at stake. The FCC is proposing rules that would kill the open Internet and create a fast lane for companies that can afford big fees and a slow dirt road for the rest of us. We're fighting back--and we're being heard. This Thursday, May 15, the FCC will meet in Washington, DC, to vote on whether or not to advance this proposal. We'll rally in DC, but we won't stop there: We'll gather at FCC offices in 24 cities to send shockwaves through the FCC bureaucracy until they restore real Net Neutrality and protect the Internet for all of us."

Trouble in paradise. This woodcut created by artist Gillyin Gatto is a protest poster against a proposed LNG terminal that is threatening Passamaquoddy Bay. This terminal will mean that huge LNG (liquified natural gas ) tankers would enter Passamaquoddy Bay through a channel between two Canadian islands, Campobello and Deer Island. They will the have to take a right hand turn passing near the "Old Sow" one of the worlds largest whirlpools before getting to the proposed terminal at the Passamaquodddy Reservtion across from Deer Island. These tankers would be escorted by gunships in case of terrorism. No ship can operate within 1000 yards of these tankers while in transit. The terminals will be lit up 24 hours a day within sight of St Andrews New Brunswick a very popular tourist resort. Fishing and all tourist boat traffic will have to cease during the tankers transit. Life as we know it will drastically change downeast. The LNG proponents are offering big $ to the towns and the Passamaquody Tribes to get this to pass. it has turned neighbor against neighbor in the hopes of jobs and tax breaks. The biggest hope we in Maine have that they won't be able to build these terminals in such a dangerous place, is that the Canadian Government has said it won't allow these tankers to pass through Head Harbour Channel. the LNG proponents argue that it is international waters. Canada was instrumental in stopping a Pittston oil refinery from being built in this area in the late 70's and we can only hope that they can help us win this fight,too.
RARE abandoned Mazda T2000 pickup truck at a scrapyard at Shek Kong, Hong Kong. It costs HKD$ 65,000. I hope someone would rescue it and restore it back to former glory. It's very heart-brokening to see a classic automobile being put outside rusting. She deserve a better life than sitting there.
