Updated 5/7/2016
30 August 2012 – Humanitarian organizations in Afghanistan expressed grave concern today over how little attention is being paid to address the ever growing humanitarian needs of the country, where many groups including the United Nations have their biggest humanitarian operations.
Speaking at a roundtable organized in the capital, Kabul, to mark World Humanitarian Day, aid agencies warned that with increasing incidents of disaster – coupled with the insecurity in the country and the large number of Afghans living in chronic poverty – would have political and security consequences.
“Not paying sufficient attention to the humanitarian situation, in my view, is a problem. If there is a linkage between that and availability of resources, it is something we need to do something about,” said Michael Keating, the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan ranks in the bottom 10 per cent of the Human Development Index. More than one-third of the population lives below the poverty line. One in every two children under five is chronically malnourished. To add to that, so far in 2012, about 300 natural disasters have struck the country affecting more than 200,000 people. Up to 600,000 people are internally displaced and 5.7 million Afghan refugees have returned home since 2002.
Mr. Keating expressed his disappointment over the poor response to a UN appeal earlier this year for US$ 437 million for humanitarian preparedness and response in Afghanistan for 2012. Only 33 per cent, or about US$ 150 million, of the requested amount has been received in eight months. In addition, the Emergency Response Fund only received its first funds in early August.
World Humanitarian Day is celebrated on 19 August, to honour the 22 people killed in an attack on a UN building in Baghdad on that day in 2003. The humanitarian community in Afghanistan marked the day today because the actual day coincided with the first day of Eid-ul-Fitr, a Muslim holiday.
Representatives of about a dozen humanitarian organizations active in Afghanistan marked the day with a call to recognize the dire humanitarian situation of the country and to act to address this. They also called for more media attention to the situation that would help raise the issue globally.
“We (the humanitarian community) need to address this and we simply are not in a position to address them as fully as we would like to,” Mr. Keating told the gathering, adding that, although local people and communities are the “biggest humanitarian actors” in this country, their ability to cope with growing humanitarian needs is also decreasing.
He said the humanitarian community was also concerned that economic activities and jobs would decrease in line with the transition towards 2014. “There are all sorts of business opportunities associated with their (international military’s) presence that will decline. When people have less income, they become more vulnerable.”

Mission Peak RP, Fremont, CA
Over the years or even maybe as of 3-4 years ago Mission Peak popularity has gone out of control. Which is good and bad at the same time. One of the really bad things is that people leave their trash and leftover food and these guys are learning young.
The Sierra County Courthouse was built with WPA labor in 1939 (the same year in which The Wizard of Oz was released).
The long and strange name of the county seat comes from the name of the popular radio game show called Truth or Consequences hosted by Ralph Edwards. Edwards promised that he would come to the first town in the country that would change its name in honor of his show. So in the year 1950, this town changed its name, and Edwards came to here every first weekend in May for the next fifty years at which time a community celebration would occur. The town's original name was Hot Springs. So this courthouse was built back when the town went by a different name.
The county's former seat was located at the mining town of Hillsboro. Click on this link to see a picture of the ruins of the 1892 Sierra County Courthouse that still stand there: www.flickr.com/photos/99491151@N00/3152879454/in/set-7215...

A Colt Model 1881 Gatling gun in the New York State Military Museum in Saratoga Springs.
Interesting bit of history behind this weapon that I never knew: It was invented by a physician.
Dr. Richard Gatling, the story goes, hoped to reduce the size of armies and therefore the number of people being killed. He thought he could do this by improving the efficiency of the killing, so he invented and patented one of the first workable machine guns, firing 200 shots a minute.
I really can’t follow the logic, myself.
Gatling’s gun saw very limited use in the U.S. Civil War, but new and improved versions were soon in use around the world. It was quickly replaced by faster, more efficient machine guns, though electric-powered Gatling guns that can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute remain in service today.

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Palace Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe, but with less species.
In the nearly two decades since the 9/11 attacks, the United States has expanded its use of economic sanctions to address a broad range of national security and foreign policy objectives. Through the innovative use of financial penalties and greater integration in the global banking system, sanctions have become the go-to tool of economic warfare. They are widely applicable, scalable, and can be comprehensive or targeted. Yet, with Washington’s increasing reliance on these policy instruments, serious questions remain about their long-term effectiveness and their potential to produce unintended consequences.
For sanctions to achieve strategic objectives they must be adapted to a new era of geopolitical competition and coordinated with other forms of diplomacy. To help make sense of the design, implementation, and implications of sanctions, Foreign Policy at Brookings hosted a panel of experts with a combined background in the use of sanctions in Latin America, Europe, North Korea, and the Middle East.
Jim Goldgeier, Robert Bosch senior visiting fellow in the Foreign Policy program, kicked off the event with introductory remarks. He then moderated a panel discussion with Brookings Senior Fellows Suzanne Maloney, Jung Pak, and Ted Piccone. The session concluded with questions from the audience.

Some Background:
The Space Defense Robot-04-Mk. XIV Destroid Nimrod was an anti-air/heavy artillery mecha, and intended as a replacement for the SDR-04-Mk. XII Phalanx, a Destroid specifically designed for space operations to defend the SDF-1 Macross, along with its sister unit, the cannon-armed ADR-04-Mk. X Destroid Defender.
The Phalanx had been developed in a hurry under the pressure of the raging war against the Zentraedi and suffered, as a consequence, from several disadvantages. For instance, its combat operation capability decreased substantially once the missile ordnance (a total of forty-four 430mm caliber missiles, half of them ready to fire and the rest held in reserve in internal magazines) had been exhausted. To counter this, a few models were modified in the field, e.g. with additional light Gatling guns mounted within the head unit, as well as other variations, but most Phalanx’ remained basically bipedal heavy missile launchers. A sub-variant with improved sensors and missile guidance systems, as well as the ability to deploy the new reflex missiles, the Phalanx Mk. XIII, was also built, but only in small numbers, and it could not overcome the flaws of the original design.
The Nimrod was the attempt to mend these shortcomings after initial combat experience with the type. The so-called SDR-04-Mk. XIV utilized the proven MBR-04 ambulatory system and shared a common hip and leg structure with a wide range of other Destroids. Like the Phalanx, the Nimrod’s newly designed upper body was a simple core structure that neglected any silliness for a weapon composition consisting of missiles, radar, and propulsion system, all mounted on the main rotating body which could be detached from the lower torso for maintenance of in case of emergency.
The Nimrod filled the same tactical niche as the Phalanx but was a more sophisticated design with improved capabilities and a – though limited – secondary close-range combat capability. The radar and sensor suites for target acquisition as well as missile guidance were improved, so that the Nimrod became even suited for air space surveillance and as a guidance/coordination unit for other Destroids. Due to this additional workload, the Nimrod’s crew was expanded by a WSO to two in a tandem cockpit.
The armament remained tailored to medium and long range, but there were some improvements. On the Nimrod, the Phalanx’ bulbous drum-shaped missile magazines gave way to more streamlined 540 mm caliber reflex missile containers, which were carried in staggered clusters of four twin-pods on each shoulder, holding a total of 48 missiles with sixteen of them ready to fire and the rest in reserve. This modification reduced weight and frontal area, and in a case of emergency the missile containers could be jettisoned.
In order to improve the Nimrod’s tactical value after its missiles had been deployed, it was furthermore provided with a secondary close-range combat capability in the form of a pair of particle beam guns. These were integrated into the arms, protected by the missile containers, and these reliable weapons could be effectively used against both air as well as ground targets. Thermal smoke dischargers completed the Nimrod’s defensive measures.
Like the Phalanx and other Destroids, the Nimrod was capable of limited space operations due to its vernier thrusters all over the hull. This allowed for units that were stationed on the deck of the SDF-1 to propel themselves back to the battle fortress if they were knocked off.
The Nimrod was, like the Phalanx, first deployed on the SDF-1 and was used to augment the ship's own weapon system to protect the vessel from Zentraedi attacks, even though the type came relatively late and was only used in the final phase of the war and only in limited numbers. After the conflict, production was throttled down (only a total of fifty SDR-04-Mk. XIVs were eventually built), and the surviving Nimrods from the SDF-1 were stationed at airbases in New Macross City and in nearby cities, such as Monument City.

The kit and its assembly:
This is a fictional Macross Destroid, with a highly modified Imai Phalanx kit at its core. It depicts a potential successor for the missile-only-armed Phalanx, but it has been totally made up. Inspiration came when I recently procured a bunch of Kotobukiya’s MSG sets for mecha conversions – one of these sets included the quadruple missile launchers that now make up the Nimrod’s new “arms”. I was torn between using a Defender or a Phalanx as conversion basis, but due to the weapon pods’ bulkiness I went for the more massive Phalanx.
Beyond the MSG parts and the replacement of the Phalanx “missile drums”, there was initially no real plan for the conversion – things evolved gradually, depending on the donor parts at hand. However, several fundamental changes were made. The most important improvement measure that works for all Destroid kits with the “04” chassis is the integration of a completely now hip joint arrangement. OOB, the model's posture is pretty stiff, with the legs and feet facing straight forward. The model is just supposed to stand upright, and with the model’s OOB joint options it is really hard to create a vivid poise. Furthermore, the bolts that hold the legs are prone to break off, even more so because the Imai kit is from the 1st generation of mecha kits, without vinyl caps and just relying on a very tight joint fit for hold.
My proven solution: the implantation of a new hip “bone” made from plastic-coated steel wire, which is stiff in itself but can be bent in two dimensions. The thighs had to be modified accordingly, since the wire is much thinner than the original bolts. Inside of the pelvis, the W-shaped wire was attached with the help of sprue material and styrene profiles, a thorough fixation is necessary because a lot of load has to be held in place in a very small space.
In order to attach the legs to the wire, there’s a convenient trick: the receptor holes in the thighs were simply filled with small vinyl rings, standard material from other mecha kits (e.g. from Arii’s 1:100 VF-1 Battroids or the Gunze Sangyo/Aoshima Dorvack PAs), the rings’ outer AND inner diameter fit perfectly into the new arrangement. With this trick, a much more dynamic and "natural" leg position could be achieved, also thanks to the large feet and their joints of the “04” Destroid chassis. This tuning measure improves the model considerably. The legs were otherwise taken OOB, just some small styrene bits were added to the lower legs’ front sides (improving another small detail flaw of the model), and some openings on the lower legs’ rear side were filled with putty and styrene sheet. Furthermore, the open insides of the “heels” were filled with putty, too.
In order to integrate the new missile bins, suitable adapters for the shoulder had to be found. Being somewhat lazy and trying to use as many parts from the Phalanx kit as possible, I decided to integrate a styrene tube all through the upper body, so that I got better attachment points. This tube was extended so far that I could re-use the Phalanx’ blast exhausts from the original missile bins as shoulder joint covers. This looks very natural and these re-dedicated parts fit well over the implanted central styrene tube channel as well as into the channel that runs along the MSG missile containers’ inner side. In order to attach the new arms/containers, a smaller diameter styrene tube was glued into these channels, so that the new pods could be moved vertically.
As a weapon improvement over the Phalanx, a pair of particle beam guns was added to the new missile containers – they come originally from a Dorvack PA-36K “Berlon” kit, but they were tailored considerably in order to fit into their new position. They also help to hide the new shoulder joint, which was covered from above with parts from the Phalanx kit (the boxed that are normally attached to the upper legs) and the space between them with paper tissue, drenched with white glue. The result is a good visual transition.
The central hull was changed in order to move the look away from the Phalanx base. The rear side uses OOB parts, but these were modified and attached to the hull in a different way, so that the back is not as deep as on the Phalanx. The front received a vertical pair of searchlights (formerly return rollers from a 1:35 tank…), set into the breast plate. The cockpit bulge between the shoulders as well as the head unit are completely new. The cockpit cover is a leftover hull piece from a Kotobukiya helicopter drone, and it was moved forward, so that a crew of two is more plausible. The head unit on the elongated spine behind and above it consists primarily of a donor from a wrecked VT-61 “Tulcas” mecha (Dorvack), plus a small dish antenna for a tracking radar on the right (left over from a Dorvack PA-36K “Berlon” kit) and a round radome for target acquisition – scratched from main wheels of a Matchbox PB2Y and set upon a mount made from styrene profiles. Looks strange, esp. with that flat, square head unit underneath, but I wanted a unique and different look that sets the Nimrod apart from other canonical Destroid designs. And this certainly worked.
A final word concerning the Phalanx kit itself: like all other Destroids models, this is basically a simple affair and the model goes together well – but expect some PSR on every seam, and there are some improvements possible that IMHO raise the model’s quality. The lack of vinyl caps makes later movement a tricky affair, though, and it is interesting to see that while the “04” chassis Destroids (Phalanx, Tomahawk and Defender) share the same lower body, all three kits are different! As a positive trait concerning the finish, the Phalanx is also the only kit of this trio that comes with decals for the typical white trim on the lower legs of these Destroids.
Painting and markings:
Once more I wanted to stay true to the original look of a typical Macross Destroid from the “04” series. These tend to carry a uniform livery in murky/dull tones of green, brown and ochre: unpretentious "mud movers". Anything else is rare (I am aware of dark blue Phalanx’ on board of the SDF-1), and complex camouflage patterns are AFAIK not seen (probably a tribute to the TV series’ cel production). In consequence, I gave the Nimrod an overall livery in a rather unidentifiable brownish tone, namely RAL 7008 (Khakigrau), a tone that was carried by German WWII Afrikakorps tanks and very similar to the tone IDF vehicles like the Merkava typically carry nowadays. Since I only had this tone in a rattle can available, the model and its components were painted accordingly, with an additional hushed spray over the upper surfaces with a slightly lighter tone as a shading measure. After this basic painting, the parts received a washing with thinned black ink.
Decals mostly come from the OOB sheet, plus some extra stencils, including the "nose art" painted on the left leg (from a P-38); many Destroids and also Armored Valkyries seem to bear such markings. Gives the mecha a personal touch, though.
Finally, before everything was assembled, the kit received a dry-brushing treatment with light grey and an overall coat with matt acrylic varnish. As a final step, mineral pigments were dusted over the model, esp. around the feet and the lower areas of the mecha.
A rather straightforward conversion project that gradually evolved – but with a postive outcome, after some twists and turns. The fictional Destroid Nimrod turned out more believable than expected, thanks to the good donor parts that went into it, and the simple livery also adds to the design’s “realism” within the Macross universe. Even though the thing still looks odd – but not worse than the other canonical Destroids from the original TV series!

Les agriculteurs, les entrepreneurs, les particuliers sont obligés de se garer de la sorte pour essayer de réduire les chances de se faire voler!
Car d'un côté, la France se fait piller par des bandes toujours plus nombreuses et toujours mieux organisées à qui l'on donne en plus, souvent, le gîte et le couvert.
De l'autre des élus indifférents et inconséquents se répandent en mensonges et discours démagogiques écrits par d'autres pour endormir les masses de bovidés qui croient les élire en toute subjectivité!
Et pendant ce temps nos élus se baignent dans la luxure aux frais du contribuable pendant que le français moyen passe ses journées au travail pour s’apercevoir en rentrant qu'on leur a volé le peu qu'ils avaient.
Quel mépris!
Quelle honte!
Un employé ou un ouvrier se feraient immédiatement virer s'il faisait le millième de ce que les politiques font ou de ce qu'ils ne font pas!
conseguenze.
A casa non ho un ventilatore decente che mi plachi il caldo
e oggi ho visto una donna di 34 anni con una maglietta troppo aderente che le ha fatto uscire la pancia fuori.
Ma avevo caldo e i miei ormoni hanno ignorato quell'incubo per i miei occhi.
Mi sono lavato la faccia e ho pensato ad altro.
Ho pensato che ciclicamente faccio scelte sbagliate.
Spesso faccio scelte sbagliate e le conseguenze sono catastrofi irreparabili
Una volta una ragazza mi ha fatto incazzare mentre eravamo sopra il suo motorino.
Io all'improvviso sono sceso al volo da quel due ruote in corsa,
rompendo quel momento e trasformandolo in un sogno surreale.
Una volta il mio amore si mise a farmi dei discorsi strani ed io reagii male.
Mi ritrovai in mezzo a mille casini e con i capelli ancora bagnati me ne andai da quella casa.
a volte vivo le conseguenze di disastri con un ghigno malinconico.
In questo periodo potrei sprofondare in una terra desolata e scrivere per poi uscire fuori più ubriaco e saggio.
In questo momento,
I miei amori sono nello scaffale dei ricordi.
I miei pregi anche.
E la mia scrittura si srotola senza compromessi.
Se fossi buono, le conseguenze sarebbero dolci come il miele.
Studierei la parte a memoria e tutto sarebbe perfetto. credo.
Ma non lo sono.
Non sono né perfetto né buono.
Sono incostante e difficile.
Anche se a volte abbraccio e bacio come un clown sentimentale.
A volte come un pugile severo.
A volte volo via come un frammento di fulmine.
A volte mi apro e lascio entrare un po' di luce tra i miei cavi e il metallo.
E un po' di luce è entrata.
una piccola luce non eccessiva.
Un decimo di milligrammo di bene è entrato.
E in questo periodo avanza anche.
Greater Manchester Police officers conducted a drug warrant this morning in Swinton.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has launched the ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ campaign in Salford, to tackle people purchasing cannabis online from abroad by raising awareness of the risks and consequences of this crime.
Alongside the Home Office, Border Force and Royal Mail, officers from GMP’s Challenger team - Greater Manchester’s partnership response to serious and organised crime - are tackling the importation of cannabis through the postal system.
Cannabis ordered by post often comes from abroad. Purchasing cannabis from abroad is a serious importation offence. It carries a heavier punishment than possession and can easily be traced. Anyone who does so can face penalties – including a prison sentence – as well as serious consequences for their employment, international travel, social housing and education because of having a criminal record.Salford – home to both domestic and international students, professionals, families and people from many different backgrounds – is the biggest source of cannabis supply and demand across Greater Manchester.
In the past 12 months, officers have seized more than 2,800 packets of cannabis en-route to Greater Manchester, weighing in at over 2,700 kilograms.
GMP campaign pic 1.jpg
Recent law enforcement activity tackling fast parcels in Salford resulted in nine people being arrested. This was the result of months of planning and intelligence gathering, led by GMP’s Salford Challenger team, supported by other specialist units across the force. Nine arrests made in Salford as part of major operation targeting drug importation.
In November, Matthew Johns from Salford, was jailed for eight years after pleading guilty to being involved in the importation of cannabis and other drugs. Man jailed for eight years for his role in sending parcels containing drugs from America to Bury.
As well as being illegal, purchasing cannabis or other drugs via post could put buyers at financial risk and leave them vulnerable to identity theft, fraud, and exploitation by organised crime groups. Members of these groups will often approach people to receive their post containing drugs in exchange for money.
The Buy Now, Pay Later campaign makes it clear that not only is this activity a crime which may result in prosecution; it can also have a long-lasting impact on your DBS clearance, visas being revoked, travel bans, and loss of housing tenancy agreements. Before you order, ask yourself if it is worth the risk.
Detective Superintendent Joe Harrop, head of GMP’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit, said: “More than 3,500 crimes were recorded for cannabis fast parcel importations to Greater Manchester over the last 12 months, and approximately 20 per cent of these were destined for Salford.
“People shouldn’t forget it is illegal to possess, supply and sell cannabis in the UK. It is also illegal to import it. When you bring drugs into the country from abroad, you’re committing an importation offence which is more serious and has greater consequences than a standard drug offence, such as possession. “GMP’s Challenger team has a strong focus on organised crime groups who are bringing drugs into the country by the fast parcel system to supply and sell; often via members of the public who they recruit to participate in the sale of drugs.
“You may be asked to help accept, deliver or intercept parcels in return for cash or other payment. It may seem appealing to some and viewed as a low-risk way of making some extra money, but participating with others to import drugs is a criminal offence that not only comes with harsh penalties but can also have negative, life-long impact.
“Offenders often try to recruit students and other young or vulnerable people into committing crimes, but you should always say no and report directly to GMP or Crimestoppers.”
Kate Green, Greater Manchester’s Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: “Too often, people see buying cannabis online as harmless or low risk, when in reality it’s fuelling organised crime and can have serious, lasting consequences.
The Buy Now, Pay Later campaign is exactly the kind of partnership-driven prevention work we set out in our Standing Together plan, raising awareness, protecting people from harm, and tackling illegal activity at its source.
"Through Programme Challenger, we’re working with police, local authorities and national partners to disrupt organised crime and stop those who exploit others for profit. By helping people understand the risks of buying cannabis online, not just criminal penalties, but the impact on jobs, education, housing and ability to travel, we can support safer choices and build stronger, more resilient communities across Greater Manchester.”
Despite Challenger’s focus on OCG activity, perpetrators who have had regular deliveries of cannabis to residential or business premises for personal use will be targeted and responded to proportionately.
Members of the public are encouraged to share
intelligence, which remains vital in disrupting criminal networks. GMP and partner agencies are committed to safeguarding vulnerable people who are victims of crime or at risk of committing offences.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact police directly, on 101 or by dialling 999 in an emergency. You can you also report anonymously to Crimestoppers, via 0800 555 111.

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe. Both have now a common directorate.
Im Tierpark Berlinsind 2023 rund 20 lebensgroßen Dinosaurier, über den Park verteilt, zu sehen.. Die tonnenschweren Nachbildungen sind nicht nur optisch bis ins Detail ihren lebenden „Vorfahren“ nachempfunden. Spezielle Technik lässt die Dinosaurier täuschend echt wiederbelebt erscheiunen. Sie zeigen so auch typische Bewegungsabläufe und geben akustische Laute von sich. Zusätzlich zu den beweglichen Exponaten erfahren die Besucher*innen in einer thematischen Ausstellung mehr über die Lebensweise der Dinosaurier und können erstaunliche Parallelen zur heutigen Tierwelt entdecken. „Dinosaurier gelten als das bekannteste Symbol für ausgestorbene Tierarten – die Faszination für T-Rex und seine Artgenossen ist bis heute ungebrochen“, verkündet Zoo- und Tierpark-Direktor Dr. Andreas Knieriem. „Und das Thema Artensterben ist hockaktuell – über 37.000 Arten gelten derzeit weltweit als unmittelbar vom Aussterben bedroht. Auch heutige Giganten, wie der Afrikanische Elefant oder das Spitzmaulnashorn, könnten – wenn wir nicht intervenieren – ausgerottet werden“, ergänzt Knieriem. Die Dinosaurier-Ausstellung ist von April bis Oktober 2023 zu sehen. Der Besuch bei Triceratops und Co. ist im regulären Eintrittspreis enthalten.

In 2023, around 20 life-size dinosaurs are on display in the Berlin Animal Park, spread throughout the park. The replicas, which weigh several tonnes, are not only visually modelled on their living "ancestors" down to the last detail. Special technology makes the dinosaurs look as if they have been brought back to life. They also show typical movements and make acoustic sounds. In addition to the moving exhibits, visitors can learn more about the dinosaurs' way of life in a thematic exhibition and discover astonishing parallels to the animal world of today. "Dinosaurs are considered the best-known symbol of extinct animal species - the fascination with T-Rex and his fellow species is still unbroken today," announces Zoo and Animal Park Director Dr. Andreas Knieriem. "And species extinction is highly topical - more than 37,000 species are currently considered to be in imminent danger of extinction worldwide. Even today's giants, such as the African elephant or the black rhinoceros, could - if we don't intervene - be wiped out," adds Knieriem. The dinosaur exhibition is on display from April to October 2023. A visit to Triceratops and Co. is included in the regular admission price.

Scholars gathered together at the Pequot Museum on Friday & Saturday, Oct. 18 & 19, for the 17th Century American Northeast Conference to reexamine the complexity of a changing cultural landscape and the consequences of colonization and warfare.
Route 141 is about to go hybrid unfortunately (another consequence of the Boris Bus invasion), currently it's generally in the hands of 62/13 plate DWs however T3 was used today, ideal for me to head north on. The bus, once registered 3 CLT (and still so on Tfls data!) is seen arriving at Newington Green. The 141 will receive cascaded HVs in due course. 5/6/15.

For this picture my source was the Women, their struggle for independence in Ireland 1916, Using historical photos, that capture what I call, their lives sacred traces in time. They together form the strong conscious silhouette of Countess Constance Markievicz, wearing her exotic black feathered war hat! In her hand a pistol erects up to challenge Nelson's Column (phallus for the British empire now gone!) She' rises, the gathered women who risked their lives to stand for Ireland in 1916, form her neck & shoulders, all their faces become a shawl of Women's souls like smiling stars! Together, 'She' walks up O'Connell street in the moment of the Irish Easter Rising 1916, going on up to G.P.O post office to fight for our Republic!
All the women I have portrayed into this picture are among those who in 1916 risked their lives to stand together for Ireland's freedom and a better society for all. As I journeyed into a commune with their faces I felt their laughter camaraderie and spirit as they kindly let me try to find them!
This is the first of a series of new large pictures I have been creating for an exhibition I wish about the tide of the people of Ireland and their audacious declaration of independence from the British Empire in 1916. They are all reflections brought to life thru' a willful wonder let emerge and echo in all its faithful living mystery from the old photos sacred traces, caught, forever curious, moments of life in time.

She Rose
I called this picture 'She Rose' as inevitably the Irish did rise & ripple with the tide of our individual multitudes to set us a chance to be free!
The means we used, to get our independence included violent action and we have lived out sad legacies of consequence from that, but the British Empire would not have let us go without that kick, unfortunately. A lesson in the consequence of the means of an empire's end.
All our actions live out their rippling legacies of reactions in others and ourselves over time. The world is our mirror we can not escape its reflection. Do we revel in a reflection of our fear & aggression or let there bravely be a chance for mercy & new hope to grow, to not repeat injustice? We pay the price, so be sure its worth it! Our action's share consequence, do not be bullied with your life's will, be honest to your homemade compass when we try to treat others as we would true & fairly like them to treat us. To unravel the Gordian Knots of injustice's consequence & grow to live together in a better world society!

'She Rose' was recently exhibited as part of Kilmainham & Inchicore's August 2017 Festival's Group Art Show in Dublin. The show of 10 artists organized by my fellow artists Sean O'Neill & Catherine Ryan was called 'An Ideal World' & my series of large drawing paintings as part of it I called 'In Your Shoes'
In Your Shoes.
'My social art believes there is sacred truth and creativity to be realised in every moment we encounter. I like to journey into moments caught in time, to try unravel and truly see them in art. Looking in the mirror of an other's shoes, we can find ourselves, alive thru' them!'
