Avram Noam Chomsky the 83 year old US philosopher renowned for his critiques of US foreign policy has an article re-published on Aljazeera in which he discusses the US military buildup to confront the Iranian foreign policy crisis confronting the US. “The Obama administration has been rapidly expanding US offensive capacity in the African island of Diego Garcia … nuclear-powered guided-missile submarines with Tomahawk missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads. Each submarine is reported to have the striking power of a typical carrier battle group … the substantial military equipment Obama has dispatched includes 387 "bunker busters" used for blasting hardened underground structures … On taking office, Obama immediately accelerated the plans, and they are to be deployed several years ahead of schedule, aiming specifically at Iran… The increasing threats of military action against Iran are of course in violation of the UN Charter … call to all states to resolve disputes related to nuclear issues peacefully … which bans the use or threat of force.”

After 11 weeks of slow buildup, this is the reaction I have to the shot that contains the cat allergens (.35cc for the medically inclined). My other arm fares much better. This was taken 9 hours after the shot. 16 hours post stabbing, it still looks the same.

Located at Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania's south-east, the Tessellated Pavement is an erosional feature produced by a combination of wave and sand erosion, salt buildup, and evaporation. The lines were originally cracks that formed in the crust, and have been perpetuated by salt buildup, breaking the rock apart. The same buildups, along with the erosion, formed the 'pans'.
Cows. Why do they need communications equipment? What do they need that they can't just ask Mr. Greenjeans for?
This buildup of technology, and the other aspects of the so-called "bovine revolution," make it apparent that the cows have an agenda, that they want something more than to turn grass into cowpies, that they are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the way that homo sapiens sapiens is running things. Cows are known to be placid and tolerant - perhaps 'meek' - but don't expect them to continue standing idly by while their rightful inheritance is squandered and spoiled by humans.
Do something nice for a cow today, and maybe the end of the reign of mankind can be postponed for a while. Invite a cow into your home, or prepare a special meal for a cow in your neighborhood (if you know how to make chow for a cow). Wow a cow: take a cow to a museum or an amusement park; or take that certain special cow on a walk in the moonlight and tell her how you really feel. You can hide under the bed waiting for the end, of course - it's a free country, for now - but why not do something to make a difference?

The defrost feature on this 1965 Sears Coldspot refrigerator died sometime in the early '70's -- since then, we've used an electric defroster to melt the frost and ice buildup. (Actually, it's for heating barbecue grill briquets, but it's got the same heating element as a dedicated freezer defroster. Lots of water to clean up (shades of the old "icebox" days), but it works.

This lighthouse is what's known as a "spark plug" type lighthouse. Its gets this name by its shape. The basic buildup of this type of lighthouse is a tower placed on top of a caisson.
The General Services Administration began selling lighthouses a decade ago after Congress passed a law allowing the sale of the properties. With better lights and more reliable automation, there is no longer a need for a person to be present at the lighthouse to keep it operating. The sale of a lighthouse includes an agreement that the new owner will preserve the lighthouse, allow the light and fog horn or bells to continue operation and allow Coast Guard personnel access to the property to maintain the light and horn and make repairs.
On December 7th of 2006, the 124-year-old Bloody Point Lighthouse was purchased at a Government auction by an out of state lawyer with a bid of $100,000.
He admits that he may “have a bit of an eccentric bent,” but he claims he is quite serious about spending upwards of $200,000 on restoration, and may use the light for a summer residence. In August of 2009, the owner announced that he would be dedicating a room in his lighthouse to a brewery. “We’re not talking about a huge amount of beer here, something like 20 to 40 barrels a week that we will look to sell to local restaurants and breweries. My hope is to have the breweries pay for the lighthouse’s ongoing maintenance. We will already be using the desalination process in here to create water, but the device I am purchasing creates so much more water than we will need, and this seemed like a great use for it. We want to create a unique beer here, and it will be unique — the only one made from seawater.”
From what I could tell just by looking at it, no restoration work has yet begun on the lighthouse, let alone any attempt to start a microbrewery.
Philadelphia, November 15 – In response to a significant U.S. military buildup near Venezuela, over a dozen Philadelphia organizations joined more than 60 coordinated actions in 8 countries to demand “No War on Venezuela!” and to oppose growing U.S. intervention in Latin America and the Caribbean. The local peace and social justice coalition held a rally and march starting at City Hall and ending in front of a U.S. military recruiting center to call for the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the region and for the establishment of a genuine Zone of Peace in the Americas.
The coalition asserts that the overt threats of regime change in Venezuela and Colombia constitute a blatant violation of international law and the sovereignty of nations. They draw a direct line between militarism abroad and repression at home, highlighting increased defense spending while critical domestic programs like SNAP benefits and healthcare face cuts.
The Philadelphia demonstration against U.S. imperialist aggression was organized and endorsed by Anakbayan, Black Alliance for Peace, Code Pink, Democratic Socialist of America, Free Congo, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, International Concerned Family & Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Juntos, Koreans for Decolonialization Penn, Korea Peace Committee, Mobilization4Mumia, Philadelphia Palestine Coalition, Philly Bund, and Workers World Party.
The actions come as the United States deploys an aircraft carrier battle group, including destroyers, jet fighters, and nuclear submarines, to the Caribbean. Over 67 people have been extra judiciously killed by the US strikes on boats in the Caribbean so far. The Trump regime has openly called for the military overthrow of Venezuela's President Maduro and the replacement of Colombia's President Petro, following decades of hybrid warfare against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
“This is a build-up to another endless U.S. war – a war to militarize the whole Western Hemisphere,” said Sara Flounders of the Workers World Party, a rally organizer. “Meanwhile, the use of Federal troops and thousands of ICE agents in raids and mass arrests, along with massive increases in health costs and cuts to government services, are an attack on all working people in the U.S.”
Activists condemn the U.S. government's justification for the escalation. Trump’s narrative of “narcoterrorism operations” have resulted in six recent missile strikes off the coast of Venezuela that have extrajudiciously killed over 67 people, with no due process. They argue this pretext masks the true economic motives behind the aggression.
“This move towards all-out war has nothing to do with drug trafficking, cartels or the wellbeing of Americans facing a drug crisis,” stated Joe Lombardo, Co-Coordinator of the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC). “Venezuela possesses the greatest known oil reserves in the world. The Venezuelan government refuses to be dominated by the U.S. and is determined to use its own oil, gas, and mineral resources for the benefit of its own people, not for U.S. corporations.”
The message from the growing movement is clear: it is time for the public to take to the streets to resist these government and corporate attacks on the people of Latin America and the Caribbean, and to stop the simultaneous militarization and repression of people within the United States.

there's a certain buildup of disdain and/or disappointment towards your own work that's really hard to overcome when you're finally done with it being analyzed, scrutinized and — specially — criticized.
it's not just every grain and noise and pixel and all other aspects of your physical photograph per se, but also the whole creative process, the drive behind your decision to shoot subject X, why you chose to approach subject X in such manner, what made your postprocessing like that and not this.
it's so physically and mentally draining that when the stoning is over, you just put whatever you were working on in the proverbial drawer and jump over to the next project, feeding the cycle.
so yeah, can't wait for november...

Hibiscus
Hibiscus L. é um gênero botânico, com cerca de 300 espécies, inserido na família das Malvaceae, com flores e folhas exuberantes. Devido à nova taxonomia pela filogenética (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group), muitas espécies que pertenciam a esse gênero estão migrando para outros gêneros. Por exemplo: Hibiscus esculentus L., a planta do quiabo, agora é Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench. O cultivo dos exemplares do gênero, tanto ornamental como econômico, está disseminado nas regiões subtropicais e tropicais, cuidando para não sofrerem com geadas e temperaturas baixas constantes.

Hibiscus (/hɨˈbɪskəs/ or /haɪˈbɪskəs/) is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is quite large, containing several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are often noted for their showy flowers and are commonly known simply as hibiscus, or less widely known as rose mallow. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἱβίσκος (hibískos), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40–90) gave to Althaea officinalis.
Description:
The leaves are alternate, ovate to lanceolate, often with a toothed or lobed margin. The flowers are large, conspicuous, trumpet-shaped, with five or more petals, color from white to pink, red, orange, purple or yellow, and from 4–18 cm broad. Flower color in certain species, such as H. mutabilis and H. tiliaceus, changes with age.[5] The fruit is a dry five-lobed capsule, containing several seeds in each lobe, which are released when the capsule dehisces (splits open) at maturity. It is of red and white colours. It is an example of complete flowers.
Uses:
Symbolism and culture
Hibiscus species represent nations: Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea, and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia. The hibiscus is the national flower of Haiti. The red hibiscus is the flower of the Hindu goddess Kali, and appears frequently in depictions of her in the art of Bengal, India, often with the goddess and the flower merging in form. The hibiscus is used as an offering to goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship.
In the Philippines, the gumamela (local name for hibiscus) is used by children as part of a bubble-making pastime. The flowers and leaves are crushed until the sticky juices come out. Hollow papaya stalks are then dipped into this and used as straws for blowing bubbles.
The hibiscus flower is traditionally worn by Tahitian and Hawaiian girls. If the flower is worn behind the left ear, the woman is married or in a relationship. If the flower is worn on the right, she is single or openly available for a relationship. The hibiscus is Hawaii's state flower.
Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie named her first novel Purple Hibiscus after the delicate flower.
The bark of the hibiscus contains strong bast fibres that can be obtained by letting the stripped bark set in the sea to let the organic material rot away.
Landscaping
Many species are grown for their showy flowers or used as landscape shrubs, and are used to attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
Paper
One species of Hibiscus, known as kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), is extensively used in paper-making.
Beverage
Main article: Hibiscus tea
The tea made of hibiscus flowers is known by many names in many countries around the world and is served both hot and cold. The beverage is well known for its color, tanginess and flavor.
It is known as bissap in West Africa, agua de jamaica in Mexico and Honduras (the flower being flor de jamaica) and gudhal (गुड़हल) in India. Some refer to it as roselle, a common name for the hibiscus flower. In Jamaica, Trinidad and many other islands in the Caribbean, the drink is known as sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa; not to be confused with Rumex acetosa, a species sharing the common name sorrel). In Ghana, the drink is known as soobolo in one of the local languages.
Roselle is typically boiled in an enamel-coated large stock pot as most West Indians believe the metal from aluminum, steel or copper pots will destroy the natural minerals and vitamins.[citation needed]
In Cambodia, a cold beverage can be prepared by first steeping the petals in hot water until the colors are leached from the petals, then adding lime juice (which turns the beverage from dark brown/red to a bright red), sweeteners (sugar/honey) and finally cold water/ice cubes.
In Egypt,[citation needed] Sudan and the Arab world, hibiscus tea is known as karkadé (كركديه), and is served as both a hot and a cold drink.
Food
Dried hibiscus is edible, and it is often a delicacy in Mexico. It can also be candied and used as a garnish.
The roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is used as a vegetable. The species Hibiscus suratensis Linn synonymous to Hibiscus aculeatus G. Don is noted in Visayas Philippines being a souring ingredient for almost all local vegetables and menus. Known as Labog in the Visayan area, (or Labuag/Sapinit in Tagalog), the species is a very good ingredient in cooking native chicken soup. Certain species of hibiscus are also beginning to be used more widely as a natural source of food coloring (E163),[citation needed] and replacement of Red #3 / E127.
Hibiscus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidopteran species, including Chionodes hibiscella, Hypercompe hambletoni, the nutmeg moth, and the turnip moth.
Health benefits
The tea is popular as a natural diuretic; it contains vitamin C and minerals, and is used traditionally as a mild medicine.
A 2008 USDA study shows consuming hibiscus tea lowers blood pressure in a group of prehypertensive and mildly hypertensive adults. Three cups of tea daily resulted in an average drop of 8.1 mmHg in their systolic blood pressure, compared to a 1.3 mmHg drop in the volunteers who drank the placebo beverage. Study participants with higher blood pressure readings (129 or above) had a greater response to hibiscus tea: their systolic blood pressure went down by 13.2 mmHg. These data support the idea that drinking hibiscus tea in an amount readily incorporated into the diet may play a role in controlling blood pressure, although more research is required.
Studies have demonstrated the anti-hypertensive effects of H. sabdariffa in both humans and animals. It has been proposed that the antihypertensive effects of H. sabdariffa is due to its angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibiting activity. In a randomized, controlled clinical trial involving 39 patients with mild to moderate hypertension, Captopril was compared to an extract of H. sabdariffa for antihypertensive effects. Subjects taking an extract of H.sabdariffa, consumed daily before breakfast for four weeks, found reduction in blood pressure similar to Captopril. Another randomized, placebo clinical trial involving 54 study participants with moderate hypertension demonstrated a reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. However upon discontinuation of treatment, both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were subsequently elevated.
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has a number of medical uses in Chinese herbology. Lokapure s.g.et al. their research indicates some potential in cosmetic skin care; for example, an extract from the flowers of Hibiscus rosa- sinensis has been shown to function as an anti-solar agent by absorbing ultraviolet radiation.
In the Indian traditional system of medicine, Ayurveda, hibiscus, especially white hibiscus and red hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), is considered to have medicinal properties. The roots are used to make various concoctions believed to cure ailments such as cough, hair loss or hair greying. As a hair treatment, the flowers are boiled in oil along with other spices to make a medicated hair oil. The leaves and flowers are ground into a fine paste with a little water, and the resulting lathery paste is used as a shampoo plus conditioner.
Hibiscus tea also contains bioflavonoids, which are believed to help prevent an increase in LDL cholesterol, which can increase the buildup of plaque in the arteries.
A previous animal study demonstrated the effects of H.sabdariffa extract on atherosclerosis in rabbits. Notably, a reduction in triglyceride, cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein was observed in rabbits consuming a high cholesterol diet (HCD) in addition to H.sabdariffa extract compared to rabbits only fed HCD, suggesting a beneficial effect.[16] Furthermore, the H. sabdariffa seed is abundant in phytosterol and tocopherol, plant forms of cholesterol that have antioxidant and LDL cholesterol lowering effects.
Precautions and Contraindications:
Pregnancy and Lactation
While the mechanism is not well understood, previous animal studies have demonstrated both an inhibitory effect of H. sabdariffa on muscle tone and the anti-fertility effects of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, respectively. The extract of H. sabdariffa has been shown to stimulate contraction of the rat bladder and uterus; the H.rosa-sinensis extract has exhibited contraceptive effects in the form of estrogen activity in rats. These findings have not been observed in humans. The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is also thought to have emmenagogue effects which can stimulate menstruation and, in some women, cause an abortion. Due to the documented adverse effects in animal studies and the reported pharmacological properties, the H. sabdariffa and H.rosa-sinensis are not recommended for use during pregnancy. Additionally, they are not recommended while breastfeeding due to the lack of reliable information on its safety and use.
Contraindications
No contraindications have been identified.
Adverse Effects
Drug Interactions
It is postulated that H. sabdariffa interacts with diclofenac, chloroquine and acetaminophen by altering the pharmacokinetics. In healthy human volunteers, the H. sabdariffa extract was found to reduce the excretion of diclofenac upon co-administration. Additionally, co-administration of Karkade (H. sabdariffa), a common Sudanese beverage, was found to reduce chloroquine bioavailability. However, no statistically significant changes were observed in the pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen when administered with the Zobo (H.sabdariffa) drink. Further studies are needed to demonstrate clinical significance.
Species:
In temperate zones, probably the most commonly grown ornamental species is Hibiscus syriacus, the common garden hibiscus, also known in some areas as the "Rose of Althea" or "Rose of Sharon" (but not to be confused with the unrelated Hypericum calycinum, also called "Rose of Sharon"). In tropical and subtropical areas, the Chinese hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis), with its many showy hybrids, is the most popular hibiscus.
