A consequence of bugging Daddy when he's doing something handy.
BTW no eyebrows were harmed in the making of this revenge.

Have you ever seen a wood pigeon without his tail feathers?!!
This is the background:
Wood pigeons visit us every day and have been doing so for about six years. Some of them are so trusting that they will eat seeds or nuts off our hands. We have slowly learned to distinguish their personalities, likes and dislikes, as well as their physical characteristics. As they have ours. They know we live inside the house and that they can make us come out if they look in at us through the windows on either side of the house.
This is the story:
It was very hot last Saturday and we had lunch on the north side of the house where it is cooler. I forgot to close the kitchen door and sat down to check something on the computer. After a while I went out into the kitchen to make coffee... and on the kitchen table sat a wood pigeon and looked at me. It panicked and made for the window, that was not open, and fell to the table. I sprang to close the door to the living room and Mike came running to grab the pigeon to carry it out into freedom. He got hold of the wings, but not the shoulders, and the pigeon was able to pull itself some inches forward. Suddenly, the kitchen and Mikes hands were full of tail feathers and down. Mike grabbed again - this time wings and shoulders - and got the pigeon outside and it flew off. Not a happy day for us, we felt so sorry for the pigeon, however, never knew that they had a survival mechanism so they could shed their tail feathers in a split second.
The next day the pigeon came back and wanted seeds - he has been back every day since the incident. Today his tail feathers have just started to show again.
ODC: Unusual
So I went ahead and slammed into a streetlamp the other day. DIRECTLY into it, mind you.
Basically, the story is, hey, I was on my way to work, and there was this annoying car in front of me, so I got on the sidewalk. Like a minute passes by and I hear my name from across the street. I look over, and I scan, and I scan, and I never find the person who just yelled at me. I look back ahead and HEY WHOA THAT IS A STREETLAMP.
I escaped with minor injuries, just a scape on my arm and a cut near my shin. So I get back on the bike and put my foot on the pedal, and it doesn't... do. And I can't really steer, like, at all. The handle bars don't turn easily at all. I look down and realize that THIS has happened.
Worcester Cathedral is the commanding presence on the skyline of the city, perched on high ground overlooking the River Severn. It is one of England's most rewarding cathedrals, though denied first rank status owing to the heavy handed Victorian restorations it underwent, an unavoidable consequence of being built of soft red sandstone (a problem shared with Chester and Lichfield) and thus a 19th century feel pervades inside and out in it's mostly renewed external stonework and furnishings.
The cathedral impresses with it's scale, one or our longer churches, crowned by a magnificent central tower (originally surmounted by a lead spire, lost sometime after the Refomation; subtle alterations to the tower's design were made when it was refaced in the Victorian restoration) and with a secondary pair of transepts flanking the choir (as at Salisbury, Lincoln, Rochester & Canterbury). Of the former monastic buildings the cloister and Norman chapter house have survived (along with the refectory, now part of neighbouring King's School), making this a more complex and enjoyable building to explore.
The earliest parts are of the Norman period with the superb 12th century crypt under the choir. The west end of the nave is also Norman work, though very late and unusual in design, with transitional pointed arches. However the bulk of the building we see dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, the east end in Early English gothic style (where most of the windows were restored to stepped lancets by Sir George Gilbert Scott during the Victorian restoration, having been altered over the centuries), whilst the remainder of the nave and tower largely of the Decorated period (the cathedral originally also possessed a detached octagonal bell tower with a lead spire, which stood near the north east corner but was demolished in 1647).
Of the original furnishings little remains beyond the fine set of misericords in the choir stalls. The stained glass too is nearly entirely Victorian (only some meagre, much restored medieval fragments survive in traceries of the south aisle). Much of the Victorian glass is quite impressive, particularly the great east and west windows by Hardman's of Birmingham.
Worcester is however especially rich in tombs and monuments of all periods, with medieval effigies of bishops, knights and ladies, not all in good condition but worth seeking out. There are also several large tombs from the post-Reformation period (especially in the cluttered south aisle) and some fine Baroque work in the north transept.
The most significant of the monuments here are Royal; in the centre of the choir lies the fine 13th century effigy of King John, best remembered for signing the Magna Carta. Nearby is the superb chantry chapel of Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII, whose premature death aged 15 changed England forever (one of the most pivotal moments in our history, had he survived the Reformation may never have happened). The gorgeous late Perpendicular gothic chapel stands to the south of the High Altar and is remarkable for it's rich sculpted detail.
An inverted butterfly effect. It is, in any case, the consequences of the first “plastic attacks”. The principle is simple: customers go to a supermarket to do their shopping and leave all unnecessary packaging inside the store. On June 2nd, 2018, citizens decided to organize an awareness campaign on the overconsumption of plastic in a Parisian supermarket.
“The goal is to make customers aware of the overconsumption of plastic but also to alert supermarkets to the uselessness of all these packagings,” says Fanny Vismara, co-organizer of this action. “Above all, it is important to raise awareness among politicians”, adds Belgian Frédéric Sioen, who coordinates plastic attack operations around the world via a dedicated Facebook page. The citizen has published a petition so that, in Belgium, politicians legislate and reduce the production of plastic. In Paris too, the organizers want to encourage parliamentarians to act through a petition.
These actions are inspired by the great idea of English. The first operation of “Plastic attack” took place at the end of March in Great Britain. To draw everyone’s attention to the astronomical amount of plastic waste we produce, some 20 customers at a Tesco supermarket in Keynsham, near Bristol, had extracted the purchased products from their packaging and left them there. Result: three full caddies filled with useless plastics. The operation caused a stir and prompted the British brand to lobby to reduce plastic packaging. A petition asking British supermarkets to reduce packaging already brings together 500,000 signatures.
Shortly after, Brussels followed suit with the British and, rebelotte, this time it was the turn of the group Delhaize to make commitments on the reduction of plastic packaging.
“Ridiculous packages” bloom on the canvas
The success of these actions is such that all over the world are preparing “Plastic attacks”. Like Paris, many cities will organize next June 2 operations to encourage politicians and citizens to review their habits and stop the consumption of plastic packaging for single use. Thousands of people have already registered in Gant, Belgium, but also in the Netherlands, Canada, Washington, Peru, Spain, Switzerland, India, Australia, South Korea …
These actions are accompanied by a Greenpeace campaign. Since last month, photos of apples or bananas protected by plastic films or strawberries placed individually in small foam packs have been blooming on the social networks … accompanied by the hashtag #RidiculousPackaging and #BreakFreeFromPlastic with the names of the companies … advertisements they would do well!
The NGO behind this campaign is putting pressure on companies to reduce packaging. Greenpeace points out that plastic pollution continues to contaminate the oceans and that 90% of the plastic produced is not recycled. More than a million people have already signed the association’s petition to ask several companies including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nestle and McDonald’s to stop using single-use plastic.
Every year, between 6 and 8 million tonnes of plastics are released into the sea, killing hundreds of thousands of birds and marine mammals. According to a report from the foundation of sailor Ellen MacArthur, if nothing changes, the oceans could contain more plastic than fish by 2050. Today, we estimate there are about 150 million tonnes of plastic waste in the oceans. If the consumption of plastic continues at the same rate, the ocean should contain 1 ton of plastic for 3 tons of fish in 2025 and 2050, more plastic than fish, in terms of weight, “says the study. Unless businesses and politicians take the problem seriously… the citizens are ready to take action to change things.

Absolutism in 17-18. Century
Devastations in the Dutch War
A few years after the conclusion of the treaty of Vincennes in 1661, Dillingen became again area of operation of the Dutch War (1672-1678/79). In 1670 the French king Louis XIV the whole Lorraine had occupied. By doing so, a French army under the Maréchal de Créquy (1624-1687) the Duke of Lorraine Charles IV (1604-1675) drove out and captured within a short time his strongholds.
In consequence of the war, in which also the Electorate of Trier and the Holy Roman Empire were dragged in, it came in Dillingen to severe devastations of the village and the castle and brutal harassments of the residents by the soldiery.
As in mid-May 1677 Charles V of Lorraine, a nephew and official successor of Charles IV of Lorraine, who had died in 1675, as imperial army commander undertook a military offensive to Lorraine to regain the duchy from France, Dillingen together with its castle by the Austrians was captured under count Starhemberg, the previous French occupiers led into captivity and the commander of the castle of Dillingen hanged.
Feudal dominion Lenoncourt-Blainville
Dillinger chimney plate with the coat of arms of the Marquis de Lenoncourt, 1706, 106 cm x 93 cm, 92.8 kg
After the extinction of the reign of Dillingen in the male line by the death of Franz de Savigny and his wife Anna Magdalena (born of Braubach), who had only one daughter, Antoinette de Savigny, Dillingen came in 1657 to her husband Francois de Lenoncourt, Marquis de Blainville, who came from an influential family in Lorraine. As in Nalbacher valley the Palatine Law was applied, which excluded a female succession, this territory with the village Diefflen from the possession of the family dropped out. It was only in 1665 that Nalbacher valley could be recovered.
To the Lenoncourt family the foundation of the ironworks Dillingen goes back. Its family coat of arms is now the logo of Dillinger Hütte. However, Francois de Lenoncourt, who died already in 1664, most of the time resided at the court of Lorraine in Nancy, and he left his wife with the only son Charles Henri Gaspard alone in Dillingen. Charles Henri Gaspard de Lenoncourt immediately took up the rule, which lasted until his death in 1713. On the basis of a trusting relationship with the Lorraine dynasty, he became thus ambassador to the French court at Versailles and was in personal contact with King Louis XIV. After the peace of Ryswyk in 1697, ending the Palatinate War of Succession of Louis XIV, Lenoncourt became envoy of Lorraine at the papal court in Rome. Also under the regency of Duke Leopold of Lorraine (1690-1729) he was raised to the rank of a State Councillor and Senior Chamberlain.
Mercantilism and enlightened absolutism
Charles Henri Gaspard de Lenoncourt in the spirit of mercantilism and of enlightened absolutism the property boundaries newly had measured. To the 376 acres of farmland and 130 Fuder of meadows, which were in use of property of the farmers, he for improvement of the economic base of his subjects even from his own dominion added 260 acres. To alleviate the Futternot (shortage of fodder) in the period between the end of winter and the first mowing, the peasants were allowed to graze their horses and cattle in his forests.
(As to Fuder - derived is the Fuder "load" from cartload that could load a two-horse carriage. The fuder depending of the region had from about 800 to 1800 liters. Usually the Fuder consisted of 12 buckets, this measure absolutely nothing having do with the nowadays usual 5 or 10 liter plastic buckets.)
The most relevant decision of Charles Henri Gaspard de Lénoncourt, however, was to have founded the still existing Dillinger Hütte. Some of his ancestors had already operated as owners of iron hammers in Lorraine. In December 1685 King Louis XIV at Versailles Marquis de Blainville-Lenoncourt gave permission for the erection of ironworks and meltings in Dillingen
"Louis, by the grace of God King of France and Navarre, to all present and future greeting! Our Dear and very Beloved, the Sieur Marquis de Lenoncourt-Blainville, has us submitted that the area of Dillingen, located a half mile away from Saarlouis at the very small river prims which pours into the Saar, belongs to him and that he also is the Higher Court Lord over it. He now wishes to build in this area ironworks, steelworks, smeltings and blast furnaces, by which not only his income from the mentioned domain was increased - without that others suffer any damage or disadvantage - but also for the merchants and ironmonger as finally also for the population as a whole great facilities and many benefits would accrue. He therefore has asked us in the most subservient manner to give him the specific permission to do so. We put all of this into consideration and will be gracious to him in view of his devotion and his zeal he showed on all occasions for our service".
Moreover, Louis XIV determined that the forest of the Dillinger Ironworks should be preserved by Lenoncourt and its successors, the operation of the smelters should not harm others and to the end of the existence of the smelting works to the royal domain coffers for permission a ground rent of 1 Écu would be payable in gold. Finally, ordered the king that the councillors of the Metz Parliament court would have to register this Royal assent and would have to ensure that the iron and steel production without disorders and obstructions could run.
Due to the Reunionspolitik (Politics of Reunion) of Louis XIV, Lenoncourt had been forced to subordinate the dominion of Dillingen in 1681 in Metz at the Chamber of Reunion under the superior feudal rule of the French crown.

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.
Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut. Um einen Einblick in den Lebensraum der einzelnen Tierarten und deren Interaktionen, Besonderheiten und Problematiken zu ermöglichen, werden die Tiere im Tierpark größtenteils nach geografischen Gesichtspunkten zu sehen sein.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects.

Acknowledging the importance of addressing psychosocial consequences of disasters and providing psychosocial support to affected population, IOM Seoul hosted an international workshop on 19-20 January 2016 on psychosocial support and staff care in emergencies.
The two-day workshop, funded by the Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), invited renowned psychosocial support experts from Korea and abroad to share policies, cases, lessons and standards of psychosocial support in emergencies, along with ways to improve response.
The nature and pace of climate changes being observed today and the consequences projected by consensus scientific opinion are serious and pose severe risks for our national security. The CNA Military Advisory Board (MAB), a group of more than a dozen admirals and generals from all four branches of the U.S. military, first published a report on these threats in 2007. After nearly a decade of advances in scientific understanding and slow, or in many cases non-existent, reactions to projected changes, the MAB felt compelled to provide an update.
A strong call for action has been issued with the newly released 5th IPCC report, which illustrates the high environmental and security risks imposed by climate change. This call for action extends to the role of demographers in anticipating how climate change will interact with demographic factors such as population growth, women’s empowerment, age-structure, migration, and urbanization. At the same time, it’s important to address the population, environment, and security implications of extreme weather events and climate variability. Join us in a discussion with leading researchers to identify the critical questions and gaps in understanding what needs to be addressed, and how a population perspective can contribute to the development of effective adaptation strategies in Africa.

That’s what it’s about, making stories come alive and enjoying them in the dark with strangers…
Last week, as part of Operation Sceptre – the national week of action to combat knife crime – officers from GMP’s Oldham District joined forces with Paul McGovern MBE, to deliver an ‘Actions have Consequences’ and ‘Save a Life Drop the Knife’ session to pupils at a primary school in Oldham.
Ran by Paul McGovern MBE, a dog handler at HMP Manchester, the 'Actions have Consequnces' programme has been rolled out to more than one million children across the country over the last twelve years.
The aim of the programme is to build bridges between local children, their teachers, local neighbourhood policing teams, School Engagement Officers and the youth offending team.
The session was filled with fun interactive activities for the children and their teachers to take part, as well thought-provoking messages about the negative impact that knife crime, anti-social behaviour and drugs can have, with an emphasis of choosing a positive path and making the right decisions.
During the two-hour workshop, pupils from year groups 3,4, 5 and 6 also learned how to make 999 calls, how to report a crime — and the consequences of getting into trouble, such as having a criminal record.
As part of the session, Chief Inspector Gareth Firth from GMP's Oldham District, presented the school with a ‘Community Pupil of the Year’ plaque which will be awarded every year, to a pupil from the school that does something positive to help their community.
GMP’s knife crime lead, Superintendent Caroline Hemingway, was also in attendance and spoke to the children about the dangers and consequences of carrying a knife, the importance of looking out for your friends and the various ways that young people can report concerns around knife crime.
When speaking at the session, Superintendent Hemingway, said: “GMP has worked closely with Paul for a number of years, as we believe that early intervention work such as this, is a vital tool in knife crime prevention. The sessions also help to build positive relationships between children, their teachers and the police.
“GMP and our partners in the Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit, treat knife crime incredibly seriously, and whilst operational activity plays a significant part in tackling the issue across Greater Manchester, we recognise that one of the best things we can is to to provide early intervention and educate young people from a young age, to help them understand the dangers and consequences of knife crime and other criminal activity.
“By working closely with young people, parents, and our wider communities, we can identify those involved in knife crime, address the root causes, educate our communities, provide preventative advice, and ensure those carrying and using weapons are brought to justice.”
If you’re worried a young person is at risk or is involved in violence, help and support is available.

"The consequences of this new awareness were soon noticed in my life. In the first place, I lost what little interest I had in my outer relationship with friends and relatives and went through my studies mechanically. I would hold an open book in front of me to satisfy my relatives that I was reading, when in reality my attention was far away from any such superficial matter. In my dealings with people I became meek and submissive. Formerly if I was given more work than other boys I might complain, and if any boy annoyed me I would retaliate. None of them would dare make fun of me or take liberties with me. Now all that was changed. Whatever work was given, whatever teasing or annoyance there was, I would put up with it quietly. The former ego that resented and retaliated had disappeared. I stopped going out with friends to play games and preferred solitude. I would often sit alone, especially in a posture suitable for meditation, and become absorbed in the Self, the Spirit, the force or current which constituted me. I would continue in this despite the jeers of my elder brother who would sarcastically call me "sage" or "yogi" and advise me to retire into the jungle like the ancient Rishis."

For 24 hours a day, for 28 days, artist Mark Farid will wear a virtual reality headset, seeing and hearing what one person sees and hears for 28 days.
Inspired by the Stanford Prison Experiment (1971), Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation (1981), and Josh Harris’ Quiet: We Live in Public (1999), Seeing I will confine Farid to a gallery space in London, subjected to the simulated life of the project’s Other. With no pre-knowledge of, or existing relationship to the Other, the only details confirmed to Farid will be that the Other is in a relationship and at least eighteen years of age.
For the duration of the project’s 28 days, Farid will experience no human interaction relative to his own life, allowing his indirect relationship with the Other to become Farid’s leading narrative. Will the constant stream of artificial sights and sounds start to displace his own internal monologue?
Adapting the question of nature vs. nurture to the digital age, Seeing I will consider how large a portion of the individual is an inherent self, and how large a portion is a consequence of environmental culture. How many days will it take to alter Farid’s movement, mannerisms, memory or rationale? Without free will to determine who he is, will Farid’s consciousness be enough to deter significant changes?
