London Eye, February 2009.

On Saturday 25 May, University College London (UCL) students called on the support of other students and supporters across London to rally outside their Gaza pro-ceasefire encampment after the announcement that a pro-Israel rally would take place outside their main gate that afternoon.

 

One of the most frequently heard chants by students on this and other days was

 

"Disclose, Divest,

We will not stop,

We will not rest."

 

Among the crowd there were many students from the neighbouring School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) where an encampment had already been established about two weeks earlier.

SOAS students earlier published a list of demands including, according to two metre high placard at their encampment -

 

1. Disclose - Full details of all university investments

 

2. Divest - from companies complicit in Israel's denial of Palestinian rights - [a list of specific companies followed which included Barclays Bank, Alphabet (Google/Alphabet) and Microsoft.]

 

3. Terminate - the university's banking and lending arrangement with Barclays

 

4. Boycott - Israeli academic institutions which are complicit in the violation of Palestinian human rights, including the University of Haifa

 

5. Commit - to supporting Palestinian education and the rebuilding of Gaza's Schools and Hospitals. Establish partnerships and exchanges with Palestinian institutions and academics. Increase scholarships for Palestinian students. Advocate for removal of restrictions for pro-Palestinian expression.

 

6. Guarantee - the right of students and staff to express solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation including in research, speech and actions.

 

7. Advocate - for the UK government to implement an arms embargo on Israel, to call for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire.

 

As of the date of posting (4 June 2024) at least 36,932 Palestinians have been killed since 7 October, including more than 15,000 children. An estimated 10,000 are missing, of whom most are probably dead. An unknown number of additional deaths due to excess mortality from food shortages, disease and difficulties in obtaining essential medical care and medicines. More than 82,000 Palestinians have been injured, many of them with life-changing injuries including many amputations. According to the United Nations, as of 2 June, more than half of all residential buildings have been destroyed or damaged but with some key infrastructure the destruction is even more devastating - including 80% of commercial facilities and 86% of school buildings damaged or destroyed. Additionally some 83% of groundwater wells are no longer operational.

MANIFESTATION IN SUPPORT OF UKRAINE at Place Luxembourg / Luxemburgplein in Brussels, Belgium, at the European Parliament. Participants are shocked, sad, furious...about the Russian military aggression against Ukraine. Many participants are Ukrainians living in Belgium and some are Ukrainian refugees who already made it to Brussels. Also members of the European Parliament and Belgian citizens were present.

The bars here are what the spring mounts to. The smaller metal one keeps the plastic heelspring from folding under the leg of the wearer

Tomatoes are supported by strings running between wooden stakes. The lead stake is a strong metal post. Then hardwood stakes are placed between groups of two tomato plants. We use 4 foot stakes for most tomatoes, 5 foot stakes for cherry tomatoes. A string is tied securely to the lead stake, then run to the next stake, looped around and pulled tight, then to the next stake, etc. At the other end of the row, the string is tied securely to the metal post, then run down the other side of the row of plants to the next stake, just as before. That gives us two strings running down the row with the tomato plants in between. This is called the San Diego weave or sometimes the Florida weave. There are variations in which the string is run between the plants also rather than just along the outside of the stakes. In my opinion, more work for negligible advantage.

 

Many growers use plastic string because it's light and smooth and easy to handle. You can buy a box with a clip that attaches to your belt. We use sisal baling twine. It's biodegradable, so if some gets left in the field or winds up in the compost it's no problem. Baling twine comes in a package of two 4500 foot rolls. A roll fits into a 5 gallon bucket for ease in carrying around, but it weighs about 10-15 lb, so it's not something you can attach to your belt (if you want your pants to stay up). We just carry it to the end of the row stretching the string out, then work it onto the stakes.

 

The plants can flop around within the string/stake area, but can't fall to the ground. This keeps the fruit off the ground. Air around the plants keeps the leaves and fruit dry, which inhibits fungus problems.

 

We put a string on when the plants get tall enough to be in danger of being blown over in wind. After that we have to add strings as the plant gets higher. Ideally we'd put about four layers of string on, but the later strings are needed when we're occupied with other tasks on the farm, so sometimes we get only three layers on. If we miss a stringing, the plants get unruly and it takes much longer to get the strings on, since the plants have to be lifted individually to get the strings under them for support.

Cinderella has been deboxed. She is standing, supported by the included display stand.

 

I removed all the restraints in her skirt, so it isn't as neatly pleated as in the box pose, but is also much fuller. The skirt is three layers all of which are very flowy and greatly exceed 360 degrees in circumference (I'd estimate to be about 450 degrees). The outermost organza layer has silver embroidery and many iridescent gems. The middle layer is a sheer silver blue material. The bottom layer is very shiny silver blue double layered satin. Under that is a triple layer tulle petticoat. The body has ball jointed neck, shoulder and hip joints, hinge jointed knees, swivel waist, and fixed ankles. She is wearing clear plastic high heels, with bow decorations at the toe (using the same mold as Snow White shoes for LE and singing 16-17 inch dolls. It would have been more accurate if there was a heart instead of the bow. Her bun is double layer of curls, which are okay in the front, but are severely compressed in the back due to the packaging. Due to the stiffness from the hair product, I didn't attempt to fix the bun in the back.

 

Here are detailed photos of my Saks Cinderella doll. She is #1990 of 2500. I purchased her during the Cyber Monday sale (on November 26), so got her for $100 less than the list price. I received her today (Saturday December 1) from FedEx. She was double boxed, and the box and doll are in nearly perfect shape. There was a small mark on her nose that I rubbed off, and some stray hairs in her eyes that I removed with tweeters. Her bangs are very neat, as are her eyelashes. Her updo is in pretty good shape, but I'll see if I can make it neater when I debox her. Her dress is slightly bluish silver and is very voluminous. I love the iridescence of the gems in her dress. She looks so elegant and beautiful, and would definitely turn heads in a Royal Ball. She makes the 2012 Disney Store Cinderella LE doll look frumpy and cheap. She is still available from the Saks website.

After a quick break for lunch and we knew the gearbox was in right we set about installing the cross member which holds the engine and gearbox up in place in the bus. As you can see from the missing black paint it was fair hammered with a rubber mallet to get it up between the chassis legs. The cross member was bolted up tight then the rear flexible mount fitted to the gearbox. The exhaust mount was attached along with two of the prop bolts. We will need the back lift up so I can turn everything to fit the last two.

The Support car from the video-game Mega Man Legends, an old favorite of mine. It was used as a means to quickly travel across Kattelox Island and also served as a place to repair/upgrade your items.

The 2015 Belle Classic Doll has been fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by a Kaiser doll stand (not included). Belle has a very beautiful and accurate face, and I also like her gown very much. But they skimped on the back of the gown, as it not gathered as it is in the front. Also, they greatly reduced the amount of hair she has in the back. So from behind, it is like she cut short the middle third of her hair. I didn't attempt to even out her hair by unraveling her main curls.

 

I received the full set of all the 2015 Classic Princess and Prince dolls on June 29, that were released online on June 22, 2015, on the US Disney Store site. There are 11 Princesses (Snow White through Merida) and 10 Princes (The Prince through Flynn Rider). Elsa, Anna, and the Fairy dolls have not had a 2015 makeover yet. The 2015 version of Classic Hans was released in June 26, but I do not have him yet. I have not seen any of these dolls in stores yet, but they should be in stores by next week.

 

The Princes have the faces of the Fairytale Designer dolls, which is especially noticeable for the Beast. The Belle doll finally has a widow's peak to match the animated character's hair style. In general, I like the changes in the dolls over last years. Since they have finally changed the Prince dolls, I will buy new Prince dolls for the first time in years. They are also on sale for 2 for $20, along with the classic dolls that have not changed yet (the Frozen dolls and the Fairy dolls).

While waiting for our acting teacher to come, a bunch of my fellow students and I were looking out the window at the street below.

I noticed these two people and started taking some shots of them.

I'm really happy with this shot.

Through the Nestlé Creating Shared Value prize, we assist sustainable development projects via financial support and technical expertise. Last year’s runner-up was MSABI, a not-for-profit organization, which runs one of the largest rural water, sanitation and hygiene programmes in Tanzania. Our support will help increase the reach, scale and capabilities of their programme in Tanzania, where only 47% of the rural population have access to safe water and only 15% have access to improved sanitation.

We support health professionals as they provide parents with objective nutrition advice for infants and young children. The Nestlé Nutrition Institute (NNI) provides scientific workshops and continued professional education. As the world’s largest private publisher of nutrition information, it is also a widely recognised source of some of the most up-to-date findings about breastfeeding and nutrition for mothers, infants and young children.

Arabic (العربية al-ʻarabīyah or عربي/عربى ʻarabī ) ( [al ʕarabijja] (help·info) or ( [ʕarabi] (help·info)) is a name applied to the descendants of the Classical Arabic language of the 6th century AD. This includes both the literary language and the spoken Arabic varieties.

The literary language is called Modern Standard Arabic or Literary Arabic. It is currently the only official form of Arabic, used in most written documents as well as in formal spoken occasions, such as lectures and news broadcasts. In 1912, Moroccan Arabic was official in Morocco for some time, before Morocco joined the Arab League.

I eat a lot and all the time nowadays.

 

It´s a bit odd to pay a visit to the Golden Arches on my way home, eating a supersizeme combo and, 45 mins later, arriving at home, hungry again.

 

C made Swedish Almond Cake and served it with vanilla flavored cottage cheese.

 

That´s true love & and an alternative life support sort of.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

 

A few people gathered in Minneapolis to support the feminist punk band Pussy Riot who were sentenced to 2 years in prison for "hooliganism" after recording a performance without permission in a Russian Orthodox church. The group's trademark look is a colored balaclava. There were only a few people here, but there were events at over 50 cities around the world for Global Pussy Riot Day.

About the Japanese Red Cross Society

 

The Japanese Red Cross are one of three major fundraising organisaitions based in Japan (the other two being the Japanese broadcaster NHK and the Red Feather Central Community Chest of Japan - originally a post World War II re-building organisation). You can download two english language reports relating to the disaster from the Japanese Red Cross website:

 

Operations Update No.1 - 13th April 2011 [.pdf file, retrieved 17th May 2011]

Operations Update No.2 - 6th May 2011 [.pdf file, retrieved 17th May 2011]

 

Over two months on, the needs of many of the survivors remain desperately basic. There has been an increased incidence of pneumonia and associated fatalities. As well as helping with practical and medical requirements, the Japanese Red Cross Society are helping people deal with "Shell Shock" / Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and further developing services to address these issues.

 

Perhaps most impressively, they helped quickly set up a management structure to co-ordinate help from all the major fundraisers, a committee including academics and representatives from the 15 most badly affected prefectures [local governments]. The pre-existing local Red Cross chapters [branches] are helping with governance.

 

Although Japan has a large economy, and domestically the japanese have been hugely generous towards aid efforts, like everywhere else, many people of course are not personally rich. There is still epic upheaval. Much of welfare is normally provided by family and community, a system that breaks down when whole barrios are fragmented and diminished. Services like adoption and fostering, for example - normally always done by relatives - are having to be developed. A planning policy of building schools on higher ground saved many children, but even after encouraging teachers back out of retirement, there is still a shortage of experienced teachers. Japan is mostly mountains and sea, with very little spare land suitable for building, and so - while rebuilding takes place - temporary accommodation has had to be built on land normally reserved for other activities, for example on school playgrounds.

About the decorative hexagonal origami gift box

 

The box is made up from 12 square origami papers - 6 for the lid and 6 for the base. No cutting, glue or adhesive tape is used.

 

Although Japan has a long tradition of paper folding, the design of the box is modern, by Tomoko Fuse 布施 知子, who is a renown unit origami designer and artist. Unit origami is a method of building up models using pre-folded components or units.

 

If you are an accurate and consistent paper folder, but are new to unit origami, and you would like to make your own box, I would recommend her book "Origami Boxes: Moribana Style" [# ISBN-10: 0870408216 - # ISBN-13: 978-0870408212] as an excellent introduction. Connecting the units together can be a bit fiddly at first, and the book also includes designs for more simple square and triangular boxes, which give the opportunity to practice and develop the skills needed for doing the final assembly.

 

(Until Asimo gets a bit more nimble fingered, the box is unlikely to flood the market anytime soon...)

 

If you get the bug, she has also created and written about very much more complex models. "Unit Origami: Multidimensional Transformations" [ISBN-10: 0870408526 - ISBN-13: 978-0870408526] is considered a classic text on the subject.

 

Paper making was a traditional supplemental business of farmers in Japan during the winter. The very cold water during that season enabled the fibres in the pulp to be soaked without becoming subject to decay, and some also argue that cold shrinks the fibres, creating a finer, crisper paper.

Army Sgt. 1st Class Chris Richey, a medic with the Army Reserve’s 399th Combat Support Hospital, observes Malawi Defense Force medics during a field training exercise testing their combat lifesaver skills as part of Medreach 11 in Lilongwe, Malawi, May 12, 2011.

 

U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Jesse Houk

 

Army Sgt. 1st Class Chris Richey knows a lot about battlefield medicine. With three deployments -- one to Kosovo and two to Iraq -- and more than 400 combat convoy missions under his belt, he’s learned a thing or two about combat casualty care.

 

During his most recent deployment, as part of the troop surge in Iraq from 2007 to 2008, he shared what he’s learned as a military transition team advisor to Iraqi security force medics.

 

So when Richey, a training noncommissioned officer with the Army Reserve’s 399th Combat Support Hospital, arrived here to train Malawian defense forces during Medreach 11, the Malawi soldiers were all ears.

 

“It gave me a lot of credibility,” Richey said as he sat alongside his students preparing for a field training exercise that would put some of the lessons imparted during the past 10 days to the test.

 

Medreach 11 is a U.S. Army Africa-run exercise designed to enhance U.S. and Malawian military medical capabilities and enhance the two militaries’ ability to work together during a humanitarian emergency or other crisis.

 

In addition to humanitarian and civic assistance outreach projects, a major emphasis during the exercise was on training: in the classroom, in training lanes and ultimately, during a field training exercise.

 

The Malawians shared with their American counterparts insights into how they identify and treat tropical diseases and HIV, and were anxious to hear about a variety of U.S. treatment techniques. But what they most wanted to tap into was the wealth of experience the U.S. military has developed over the past decade in providing combat medicine and trauma care. It’s of particular interest now that Malawi has deployed a battalion of about 850 soldiers to support a U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Ivory Coast.

 

The U.S. military has learned many lessons about field medicine during the past 10 years of war, particularly the importance of combat lifesavers who provide that first critical “golden hour” care to wounded troops, Col. Marcus De Oliveira, U.S. Army Africa chief of staff, said.

 

In addition to incorporating these lessons into its own operations, the U.S. military shares them with partners, such as Malawi, that may need to draw on them during peacekeeping or other operations, he said.

 

Brig. Gen. (Dr.) Alfred Chitsa Banda, director of the Malawi Defense Force’s medical service, said he hopes to develop combat lifesaver expertise among his own troops based on the U.S. example. So in support of that request, medical teams from the 399th Combat Support Hospital conducted a variety of instruction during Medreach 11, much of it focusing on combat lifesaver instruction.

 

The 399th instructors applied the “crawl, walk, run” approach to the training, explained Army Sgt. 1st Class Joleen Millette, the 399th’s NCO in charge of plans and operations. Classroom instruction advanced to hands-on practical exercises, as the Malawian medics practiced triaging casualties and moving them -- with a litter, if one was available, and if not, using a belt, sling or fellow soldier to help.

 

Lanes training culminated the training, with a litter-carry course set up on an obstacle course at the Kamuzu Barracks complex. The Malawian medics carried casualties through five different stations on the course, taking turns so each soldier got to lead the team.

 

“We made it stressful for them, but I think they loved it, from what they told us,” Millette said. “And we loved doing it, too. The way I see this, we’re paying it forward, teaching them what we have learned from our own experience.”

 

Millette said the unit’s combat deployments brought credibility and value to the training. “We have been there,” she said, citing her own deployment to Contingency Operating Base Speicher in Tikrit, Iraq, from June 2006 to October 2007. “We have touched it and we have seen it and we have been there.”

 

Yesterday’s field-training exercise put the Malawian troops’ skills to the test in a realistic combat scenario. As a convoy advanced down the roadway, the second vehicle was hit by a simulated improvised explosive device, followed by an ambush. The troops quickly dismounted to suppress the ambush, then established security as soldiers exercised their new combat lifesaver skills on the casualties.

 

The “casualties” were moulaged to reflect their wounds. One soldier was “killed” during the attack. One suffered a gunshot wound to the neck, and another had a sucking chest wound. Two had less-threatening injuries: a leg fracture and bruises.

 

With red smoke still choking the ground, litter teams rushed in to triage the wounded and transport them to advanced-level care at a field hospital configured in a tent at the barracks compound.

 

“What you just saw was care under fire,” Army Maj. Jack Twomey, a 399th Combat Support Hospital nurse, told international observers attending the demonstration. It’s a time of quick decision-making for troops on the ground, he explained. A tourniquet applied to stop bleeding or an airway cleared to restore breathing can make the difference between life and death.

 

“It was good training,” Malawian Staff Sgt. George Matubwa said after the exercise. “We learned how to react to an ambush, both medically and tactically, and how to get the casualties and move them to advanced care.”

 

As the field hospital team went to work on the casualties, Malawi Defense Force Maj. Edward Mandala, the senior clinical officer, reflected on the increased confidence his soldiers showed in applying life-saving skills and moving casualties from the point of injury.

 

In addition to getting a refresher on their basic skills, the 399th classes had introduced them to new ones such as how to operate in a biological environment or conduct a mass casualty evacuation, he said.

 

Richey, who accompanied the Malawian soldiers through the field training exercise, gave their performance a thumbs up. “I love it when good training all comes together,” he said.

 

Citing his own experience, Richey said the training the Malawian soldiers received during Medreach 11 will provide a foundation for them to draw on when and if it’s needed.

 

“No scenario is ever the same,” he said. “You train from A to Z. Then, when you actually get in there, that training kicks in. As you are sizing up the scene, it all comes to you.”

TAO generally supports orphans & vulnerable children by training their carers to create agri-businesses. At times we also support capital projects, such as this project to build demonstration housing in central and western Uganda. Houses with corrugated iron roofs from which water was collected into ferro-concrete water tanks were built for around 50 households, a number of them – such as this one, actually headed up by orphans.

 

In all, 600 households were supported to improve their farming, 230 received ferro-concrete water tanks and TAO worked with the remaining participating families to help them generate and save farming income to fund their own houses and water tanks.

Greater Manchester Police is proudly supporting National Volunteer Week (1-7 June) celebrating the work of volunteers across the Force.

 

This year is the 30th anniversary of the week of recognition which acknowledges the contribution of police support volunteers and special constables and the support they give in policing local communities.

 

Deputy Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “GMP is committed to developing our volunteer schemes, and we recognises the significant contribution that volunteers make to the policing of Greater Manchester.

“Volunteering is a way to connect policing to communities and communities to policing. People give up their own time to positively contribute to their local area and their actions are truly commendable.

 

“Special constables are unpaid, highly trained professionals who respond to a variety of policing incidents. They have the same policing powers as regular officers and provide play a vital role in the policing of Greater Manchester.

 

“GMP's police support volunteers provide work in a variety of different areas and offer additional support to our neighbourhood policing teams.

Young people can also get involved in volunteering at GMP in the police cadets, it gives the opportunity for people under the age of 18 to contribute toward their local community and learn more about policing in Greater Manchester.

 

“To celebrate and recognise the time they give to GMP there will be an event hosted at Force Headquarters where our volunteers will be given a personal thank you and we will look back over the week to acknowledge the events they have been involved in.”

 

For more information about volunteering opportunities in the police in there will be drop-in events throughout the week where you can meet serving and specials in the Force and get more information about what the role entails.

Strange! Who is this directed at? Anarchists? Who doesn't support the enforcement of laws?
