Histoire de casser un peu l'ambiance mystérieuse insoutenable des insertions précédentes... Here is my brand new lover (oh my love, my life, my sl would not be the same without you, I never met someone like you before you fulfill all my dreams, you're such a good fucker, etc etc.). He is totally quiet, doesn't speak either (and actually, doesn't do anything... not sure I am going to keep him long...)

A joint African Union-United Nations delegation has concluded a three-day visit to South Sudan, expressing hope for “full cessation of hostilities” and a promise to “hold accountable” those who may derail the peace process.
Speaking to journalists in the capital, Juba, they said the signing of the revitalized peace agreement in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 12 September 2018 “is the starting point of the hard work,” and that their visit sought to hear from the Government, civil society, women’s organizations and others about what needed to be done immediately in support of the agreement.
“The implementation of the peace agreement is primarily a responsibility for South Sudanese,” said the Under-Secretary-General for UN Peacekeeping Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix. “And I think the partners of South Sudan are keen to see a few things materialize on the ground, particularly the cessation of hostilities which would be, of course, so important – a full cessation of hostilities,” he added.
African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security, Ambassador Smail Chergui, acknowledged there would be challenges ahead, but warned, “let us just take note today that everybody wants to implement that agreement faithfully and we will [hold] accountable anyone going the other route.”
During their visit, the delegation said they had a chance to see first-hand and talk to some of those who had suffered years of conflict.
“The population has suffered tremendously,” said the UN Peacekeeping chief, Lacroix, adding, “We are looking forward to further improvement in the security situation and other such positive signals that will certainly generate confidence and mobilization from the international community.”
Listing various expectations from the women she met, UN Women’s top official said women wanted to be included in the security sector reforms which would include greater participation and contribution by women in securing the country.
“They also wanted to encourage the Government to interact with them directly so that they, too, can have an opportunity to exchange directly with Government about their expectations and get additional assurance about the future which they are very excited about,” said the Executive Director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka.
“They also want to make sure they take advantage of the 35% participation provision and they would put it on themselves to find the best candidates to fill in those positions,” she told journalists, adding that the women “want to go back to being economically productive citizens.”
The delegation had earlier met with various government officials, reiterating their support for the revitalized peace agreement.
“[It] was good to hear from both the UN [and AU] representatives about the commitment of the UN to support the peace process and they are waiting to see us giving important signals, milestones that prove our commitment and seriousness in implementing this agreement,” said Cabinet Affairs Minister, Martin Elia Lomuro after his closed-door meeting with the delegation, adding, “We have also heard from the African Union about their desire to participate with us in the security sector reform.”
He said the government was committed to implementing what it had signed, including the 35 per cent quota for women.
“That agreement was an agreement by all of us. They didn’t have to fight for it. They should remain calm and trust those in charge – particularly the members of the national review committee who will be ensuring that the objectives of the agreement are followed,” he said, voicing the government’s reassurance on an issue that was at the centre of the delegation’s visit.

Yesterday at Blogher '10 I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite photographers, Stephanie Roberts. She asked me what I liked to shoot and I told her I'd been having trouble focusing. She suggested I start a 365. When she did hers, she was able to look back and see how much she loved documentary photography.
If you've been following me over the years, you know this is something I'm afraid of due to my ability to start projects and never finish them. It occured to me while we were talking that if I ever plan to really take this seriously, I have to learn to commit. Force myself to.
So, here we go! A photo a day for one year.

My final series photos are about the commitment to sports. Commitment itself is very important to me and the way I live my life. Growing up with sports and being very committed to multiple sports, I’ve seen the struggles and the exhaustion that comes with. In the 1st photo, I have a subject that is wearing her volleyball jersey while with her friends. I genuinely think that when your friends you should feel free and your worries should mostly be released with happiness and laughter, yet in some situations you can still feel connected with sports on your mind, with the stress of it. The 2nd photo is a picture of the subject in the same jersey looking exhausted while eating. Some days I, and many other people come home late from practices and are forced to eat alone and tired, yet trying to stay healthy. The 3rd photo is the subject in a jersey and at school. Even at school the stress of making a team and seeing your coaches have stress on you too. In the fourth photo the subject is asleep with the jersey and have all of her equipment around her for sports, this shows how even when asleep the stress and the commitment of thinking and dreaming of games, practices, and drills are still around. In the fifth photo the subject has the jersey on and has her foot wrapped and is still there trying to get stronger and better at her sport.

A number of commitments have kept me from working on Alchemy for the past few weeks but they are now finished with and I can pick this work up again. I'm starting simply, for two reasons...
The first is to let myself become reacquainted with what I was doing whilst giving space to consider if that is still where I want to be going. I don't know the answer to that just yet but thoughts are forming...
The second reason is that I find more and more I prefer my work to be on the spare side of things. The urge to make thinks plain is strong, I'm liking space and I think I need to give in to that, see where it takes me. "Distilled" might be a better word... what is the essence of the initial image that draws me the most? If I focus only on that will be enough? Can I get the essence of the whole in one small component?
I've stuck and stitched all of this in place as I want it left like it is, however, I do want to progress it, sooo... I would like a critique please Karen, and then I will start again, replicating the paper and cloth strips only and then adding something different.
It's very good to be back here with all of you.
Sunny knew it would happen, stayed in that spot all day, until the sun finally made a visit.
Day 142 - #Photo365 - Commitment
For anyone who was at State Theatre New Jersey on Sunday, October 23, excitement was in the air! The day marked the kickoff to our 2016-2017 Classical Season with our Classical Season Celebration, honoring Peter and Maggie Stavrianidis for their unwavering support and commitment to the mission of State Theatre New Jersey. In addition to an incredible performance by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, with Seong Jin-Cho, winner of the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition, event guests were treated to a pre-performance cocktail reception and post-performance dinner. We were also delighted to welcome Alicja Tunk, Deputy Consul General of Poland, as our special guest for the day. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our 2016 Classical Season Celebration!
All Saints, Easton, Suffolk
Almost every Suffolk child knows Easton, for here is Easton Farm Park, beloved of school trips and Sunday family outings. At the farm, you get to see cows milked, sheep shorn and horses shoed, mostly in the old ways, a remembrance of times past. Of particular interest are the dairy and the forge, both conjuring up something of what it must have been like to live on a large Suffolk estate a century ago.The Farm Park is on the road to Letheringham, a wild, remote place; but Easton itself is urbane and polite.
Even if you don't have children, you might still know of Easton for the 18th century crinkle-crankle wall which surrounds the former estate of the Dukes of Hamilton, and their house, Easton Hall. Norman Scarfe tells me that the wall is the longest of its kind in the world. The Hall itself was demolished in the 1920s, and shipped off to America to be rebuilt on a ranch. The Farm Park was the Hall farm, and the estate's pack of hounds is still housed in the village. In addition, the wall goes right up to the church, so that no ordinary folk needed to see the Hamiltons on their way to and from Divine Service. It surrounds three sides of the graveyard.
All Saints sits on a mound, evidence of an early foundation, and you climb to the south porch. There is a north porch, too, but that was for the exclusive use of the Hall. Like so many in this part of the world, this is a 13th century church extensively refurbished two centuries later. Symptomatic of this is the octagonal 15th century belfry, familiar from several Suffolk round towers, but here built on to a square base of 200 years earlier. Inside, this is essentially a 19th century refurbishment, although the pew set is pre-Victorian, dating from the Regency period. The dark wood and gentle cinema curves is a reminder of how the period was to influence Jazz Modern and Art Deco, an understandable reaction to the stifling late Victorianism which Art Nouveau never really escaped. To see them, you might almost detect the 1930s hand of Diocesan architect Monro Cautley, but it predates his work by more than a hundred years.
One of the finest features of the nave post-dates Cautley. This is the beatiful Annunciation window by M Farrar Bell of 1964 for Susan Carrie Stone, who died in 1962. Her ashes lie at Easton, the simple inscription reads. Opposite it is another beautiful, simple modern window, for Phyllis Hill, who died in 1965. It illustrates verses from the Benedicite; a poppy and a cornflower are at the heart of irregular roundels depicting the sun and alpha on one side, and the moon and omega on the other. It is by Andrew Anderson.
On an occasion I visited about ten years ago, I stepped into the church to find a lad playing A Whiter Shade of Pale on the organ, as if in a re-enactment of that scene in The Commitments. We fell to chatting; he was home from university where he had become a Buddhist, but still loved to come and play the organ here. Returning five years later, I found the church being used for an exhibition of photographs taken by local school children. This was not intrusive, and it seemed to demonstrate again that this church is a much-loved and well-used place by local people.
There are memorials of the Dukes of Hamilton here, and of their predecessors the Earls of Rochford. But their predecessors at the Hall, the Wingfields, thought so highly of themselves in the 17th century that they actually had their family pews built up in the sanctuary. These are quite extraordinary objects, one either side, quite unlike anything else in Suffolk. Mortlock thinks that they were put there during the Commonwealth period, which makes you wonder what was going on between. Perhaps there is a case for them being slightly earlier, as the need to be close to the altar would be in keeping with Laudian sacramentalism.
No less than nine hatchments for all three families are displayed in the chancel; combined with the pews, there would be no doubt who was in charge around here. So, yet another snapshot of life in a Suffolk village in years gone by.
