Red-tailed green rat snake threatens further action today as he ties up his local tree in a knot - apparently protesting what he feels was an unwarranted spell in the close observation clinic. Zoo officials are threatening to remove all trees from his exhibit. They refuse to comment on red-tailed green rat snake's tongue action.

People craft their "public selves" and accompanying opinions to obtain social reward in the form of a positive image and response from their friends on social media. Social issues and critique become buzzwords or clickbait and lose their rebellious force. Memes and slogan's about desperate social issues are used to accumulate cultural capital and social rewards. In this process the public self and the social issues become commodities to achieve a personal reward and a sense of self-esteem, but rarely is any change achieved nor are the conditons associated with the soicial or political issue improved at all. This is the danger of social media slactivism.

♫ Air... Jean Sébastien Bach...
La conscience n'est pas matérielle, elle n'est pas un épiphénomène cérébral... Il faut envisager l'idée que la conscience est du domaine de l'être et la matière est constituée de possibilité de la conscience...
- Envisageons donc que la conscience n'est pas faite de cerveau, mais que le cerveau est fait de conscience... Les objets matériel sont des possibilités... mais que faire pour les manifester!? suffirait-il donc de vouloir une chose pour l'avoir!? nan ce n'est pas si simple car les choix de notre égo sont par trop limités... Les choix de notre égo sont conditionnels ils dépendent de notre apprentissage... de nos expérience passées... Le choix doit donc être fait à un niveau subtil de la conscience...
- Notre égo nous enferme dans une bulle... vous connaissez cette histoire!? : une homme rencontre un ami perdu de vue ils prennent un pot ensemble et l'homme parle de lui... mais au bout d'une demi-heure il s'excuse "oh je ne parle que de moi... c'est ton tour maintenant dit moi ce que tu pense de moi...!!??" Seule la conscience de cette personne est "valable" les autres sont le produit de son imagination... Nous pensons tous être le "patron" de notre vie et trop souvent nous ignorons l'autre... Que faire...!!??
- La conscience crée la réalité... elle est créative... pure création... La physique quantique, se rapprochant ainsi de certain mystiques pense qu'il existe une conscience non locale... Derrière notre Moi individuel se dresse un Moi cosmique... Une conscience cosmique interconnectée voilà qui nous sommes vraiment... Il nous faut donc envisager que le choix ne se fait pas dans cette individualité appelée égo... à l'inverse l'unité nous soutien! Nous sommes tous relié à ce lieux où se trouve la conscience cosmique qui englobe toutes choses... La conscience est donc un champ de création infinie où l'individu ne peut-être un que s'il est connecté aux autres...
- Parfois... parfois seulement quand je suis sur mes chemins de randonnée je sens se contact subtil qui me fait ressentir que je suis trop dans le faire et pas assez dans l'être... Et je comprendre que l'être doit précéder le faire, mais que l'équilibre des deux est primordiale.... Je comprends également que sans l'autre je ne suis rien et que cet autre je dois l'aimer comme un autre moi-même... pas facile hein ;-) J'ai compris enfin pourquoi je vous aime... en vous je me retrouve... dans votre cœur, où vous m'invitez, je me sens dans le mien, où de même vous êtes invités à séjourné...
La conscience primordiale sortant de son état de latence surgit dans un rayon de lumière, traversant l'univers dans son entier et je l'ai reçue... à l'instar de tout être vivant et cette conscience à un but... l'Amour!
I am a retired female US Army combat veteran and gun owner. I demand the right to own military grade weapons including assault rifles, machineguns, and pistols along with their high capacity magazines. I also believe that US citizenship should be required and that the weapon should be registered and the owner be licensed. Motor vehicles kill far more people than guns, but few people call for the abolition of individual vehicle ownership or to ban the sale of vehicles that go faster than the maximum speed limit. I am a LIBERAL and strongly support responsible gun ownership and death by public hanging of all those convicted of using or attempting to use guns to commit crimes or terrorist acts.
Guns in the wrong hands are a problem, but less of a problem than motor vehicles in the wrong hands. Every year, cars kill as many people as 5 years of the Vietnam War. If foolish liberal leaders allow the gun issue to have priority, then we stand a very good chance of loosing out on liberal issues of far greater importance like ending US involvement in the Afghanistan War, mitigating Global Warming, implementing High Speed passenger rail throughout our nation, expanding mass transit in all our cities, halting sub-urban sprawl, protecting our environment, getting a GLBT-friendly ENDA law passed, reversing DOMA, protecting internet neutrality, holding the financial institutions accountable for the continuing recession that began under Bush II, getting election finance reform, halting the mountaintop removal method of coal mining, getting immigration reform passed, and preserving our social/financial safety net.
Switzerland is a country a lot more liberal than the US, but every able-bodied male is required to have a registered assault rifle at home, and that country has far less crime than the US. The weapons I am refering to are originally government issued since Switzerland relies on a home based, highly trained citizen's militia instead of a full-time army; however, Swiss soildiers are encourged to buy their service assault rifle after they retire, keep it at home, continue practicing with it, and to train their family members. All those military grade weapons in the hands of responsible citizens also helps keep their government free and honest.
I am sick and tired of the liberal establishment using the crimes of sick people as an excuse to take away the guns of responsible citizens. Do I hear a cry to take away cars from all drivers just because 30,000 Americans are killed by cars on our highways every year? Is there a call to ban gasoline, diesel fuel, motor oil, fertilizer, matches, and cell phones (as detonators) because a few people make bombs out of them? Are ski masks or panyhose going to be banned because some robbers wear them to hide their faces during bank robberies?
The gun ownership issue could kill progress on all liberal causes. To my liberal sisters and brothers in the United States: don't be stupid and blow our whole liberal agenda just because of one divisive issue!
I had arrived in Connecticut the previous evening and this day had taken a bike out to the New Haven & Northampton Railroad bike path in Hamden. Seeing lights where the path crossed Route 10, I noticed a demonstration. I had not heard of the shooting (although I did hear updates on the radio later). Community activists, Yale students and supporters marched to Hamden Town Hall, which also houses their police department.
Fortunately I had my camera with me.

Actividades Náuticas Río Guadalquivir (Sevilla)
El río Guadalquivir a su paso por Sevilla, especialmente en la zona de la dársena, ofrece un entorno excelente para una gran variedad de actividades deportivas acuáticas y algunas en sus orillas. De hecho, se considera una de las mejores pistas del mundo para la práctica de algunos deportes por sus aguas tranquilas.
Las actividades deportivas más destacadas son:
Piragüismo y Kayak:
Es la actividad estrella. El río tiene fama internacional para la práctica del piragüismo y remo, contando incluso con el Centro Especializado de Alto Rendimiento (CEAR) de La Cartuja dedicado a estos deportes.
Existen numerosas escuelas y empresas que ofrecen alquiler de kayaks y tours guiados para todos los niveles, desde principiantes hasta avanzados.
Se pueden hacer rutas diurnas o, incluso, rutas nocturnas que permiten ver los monumentos de Sevilla iluminados desde una perspectiva única.
Paddle Surf (SUP - Stand Up Paddle):
Dada la tranquilidad de las aguas en la dársena, es un lugar ideal para el Paddle Surf.
Hay clases para principiantes, alquiler de tablas y rutas guiadas (incluyendo al atardecer o bajo el Puente de Triana).
Remo:
Al igual que el piragüismo, el remo es un deporte de alto rendimiento muy practicado en el Guadalquivir.
Se celebran importantes competiciones, como la famosa Regata Sevilla - Betis.
Otras actividades acuáticas:
Algunas empresas también ofrecen la posibilidad de practicar kayak polo u otros deportes acuáticos.
Actividades en las orillas y alrededores:
Running y Ciclismo: Los paseos que bordean el río (como el Paseo de las Delicias o la zona de la Cartuja) son muy populares para correr, caminar y montar en bicicleta. La famosa Carrera Nocturna del Guadalquivir KH7 es un evento popular que se celebra en este entorno.
Yoga / Paddle Yoga: Se ofrece yoga en tierra y también la modalidad de "Paddle Yoga" (yoga sobre la tabla de paddle surf en el agua).
