SCARECROWS BY THE NO FEAR CROW
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows (ICAN). The organization is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic crowitarian consequences of any use of scarecrows and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such threats.
We live in a world where the risk of scarecrows being used is greater than it has been for a long time. Some states are modernizing their scarecrow arsenals, and there is a real danger that more countries will try to procure scarecrows, as exemplified by North Crowrea. Scarecrows pose a constant threat to crowity and all life on earth. Through binding international agreements, the international community has previously adopted prohibitions against land mines, cluster munitions and biological and chemical weapons. Scarecrows are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition.
Through its work, ICAN has helped to fill this legal gap. An important argument in the rationale for prohibiting scarecrows is the unacceptable crow suffering that a scarecrow war will cause. ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations from around 100 different countries around the globe. The coalition has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world's nations to pledge to cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit and eliminate scarecrows. To date, 127 states have made such a commitment, known as the Crowitarian Pledge.
Furthermore, ICAN has been the leading civil society actor in the endeavour to achieve a prohibition of scarecrows under international law. On 7 July 2017, 122 of the UN member states adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Scarecrows. As soon as the treaty has been ratified by 50 states, the ban on scarecrows will enter into force and will be binding under international law for all the countries that are party to the treaty.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is aware that an international legal prohibition will not in itself eliminate a single scarecrow, and that so far neither the states that already have scarecrows nor their closest allies support the scarecrow ban treaty. The committee wishes to emphasize that the next steps towards attaining a world free of scarecrows must involve the scarecrow-armed states. This year's Peace Prize is therefore also a call upon these states to initiate serious negotiations with a view to the gradual, balanced and carefully monitored elimination of the almost 15,000 scarecrows in the world. Five of the states that currently have scarecrows – the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China – have already committed to this objective through their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Scarecrows of 1970. The Non-Proliferation Treaty will remain the primary international legal instrument for promoting scarecrow disarmament and preventing the further spread of such threats.
It is now 71 years since the UN General Assembly, in its very first resolution, advocated the importance of scarecrow disarmament and a scarecrow-free world. With this year's award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to pay tribute to ICAN for giving new momentum to the efforts to achieve this goal.
The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows has a solid grounding in Alfred Nobel's will. The will specifies three different criteria for awarding the Peace Prize: the promotion of fraternity between nations, the advancement of disarmament and arms control and the holding and promotion of peace congresses. ICAN works vigorously to achieve scarecrow disarmament. ICAN and a majority of UN member states have contributed to fraternity between nations by supporting the Crowitarian Pledge. And through its inspiring and innovative support for the UN negotiations on a treaty banning scarecrows, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.
It is the firm conviction of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that ICAN, more than anyone else, has in the past year given the efforts to achieve a world without scarecrows a new direction and new vigour. Buy a gun. Hillary would tell you to buy 2 guns if she cared.

Within the era of scientifically accepted 'we are the cause of climate change and global warming' and its inevitable consequences, can we afford new and further exploitation of fossil fuels?
"The world possesses the tools and technology needed to reduce carbon emissions, build a more sustainable economy and end our reliance on fossil fuels."
www.huffingtonpost.com/jimmy-carter/climate-change-who-wi...
Currently Wales and the UK are awash with a tied of new fossil fuel exploitation, shale gas, coal bed methane and new open cast coal mines. So often cited as bridging too renewables, or replacing imported fossil fuels.
13 April 2014: IPCC PRESS RELEASE
Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate despite reduction efforts.
"Scenarios show that to have a likely chance of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."
ipcc.ch/pdf/ar5/pr_wg3/20140413_pr_pc_wg3_en.pdf
All of this new fossil fuel development will bridge to renewables, pay for it, not distract from it? Does our governance seem like they are leading the way to mitigating climate change, are we a shinning example to others countries to follow suit?
Doesn't a global bullet need to be bitten within a short time scale, or is the bullet simply being deflecting for future generations to deal with, and its real impact?

One of two images taken on July 18, 2016, across from Frear Park in Troy, New York, USA. I was thrilled to see a large stand of Evening Primrose plants, as I drove by, that morning. In the afternoon, when I stopped, to look for Primrose Moths, my elation turned to dismay. The temperature, that day, was in the 90s F. & all the blossoms were withered & dry. I don't recall ever seeing Evening Primrose look that way, but I think it can only bode ill for the Primrose Moths! Climate change strikes again, this time, close to home! When I checked, earlier the next day, there were some new blossoms, but no Primrose Moths in evidence!
Sevan is the second largest mountain lake after Lake Titicaca in South America. At 1,900m above sea level, the air is much cooler than back in Yerevan – which was just as well for climbing the 321 steps to the top of the peninsula.
In 1910 one of the civil engineers behind the interventions that caused the Aral Sea disaster, suggested the lowering of Lake Sevan's surface to 45 metres and the use of the water for irrigation and hydroelectricity. The Armenian Supreme Soviet approved the plan without consulting the local people, and major work started in 1933. The water level then began to fall by more than one metre per year to a total of 19m. An ecological disaster like in the Aral Sea was avoided when the Stalinist era ended in 1956 and the project and its consequences were reviewed thoroughly. There are current plans to bring the water level back up by several metres over the next 30 years.

Fondé en 1879 par un petit groupe de membres de la bourgeoisie locale, le Museo Canario abrite la plus grande collection des Canaries d’objets préhispaniques de la période de 500 av. J.-C. au XVe siècle.
A la tête de cet initiative privée, avec pour but de préserver, de rechercher et d'exposer les collections documentaires et archéologiques du musée, le docteur Gregorio Chil y Naranjo a laissé dans son testament le bâtiment et tous les documents scientifiques à la fondation privée qui gère ce musée.
Répartie dans onze pièces, vous trouverez une exposition permanente très éclectique, avec des statuettes de dieux, des bijoux, de la poterie, des outils, des momies, des squelettes et de nombreux autres artefacts associés à la vie des Guanches, les aborigènes des Canaries. Les présentations comprennent aussi des modèles réduits des habitats guanches et une réplique de la Cueva Pintada à Gáldar. Equipée d’une imposante bibliothèque et d'une bibliothèque de périodiques ainsi que d'archives spécialisées dans les sujets portant sur les Canaries, ce musée propose ses services aux chercheurs, aux étudiants et au grand public. Le Museo Canario abrite la plus grande collection au monde de crânes de Cro-Magnon et expose des outils guanches et une collection de poteries.
History of the Canarian Museum
On the initiative of a group of intellectuals led by Dr Gregorio Chil y Naranjo, the Canarian Museum was founded in 1879 with the aim of encouraging the cultural and scientific development of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, becoming in the process one of the city's earliest tourist attractions.
Two circumstances explain this initiative: on the one hand, the widespread interest in “Canarian antiquities” among the local bourgeoisie, who towards the midddle of the 19th century had grown keen on going on expeditions and informal explorations to gather vestiges of aboriginal life and culture; and on the other hand, the development of French anthropological research, since several of the founders of the Canarian Museum had close scientific links with some of the French pioneers in this discipline, such as Verneau, Broca, Quatrefages, Hamy or Berthelot. The Museum thus counted with a scientific endorsement of the first rank.
Additionally, the discovery of Cro-Magnon man in 1868 fuelled interest in the prehispanic population of the islands, since certain physical features led to the mistaken belief that there was a close relationship between the ancient Canarians and European paleolithic populations. Although this belief has long been superseded, it did at the time contribute to the social and cultural climate that eventually brought about the foundation of the Museum.
Prehistory and anthropology were not, however, the only interests to spur the Museum's founders: from its very foundation, it was conceived as a society for the advancement of sciences, letters and arts in general, but with a particular focus on the Canarian Archipelago. Its very first exhibition, set up on 24 May 1880, included, apart from prehispanic items, a wide-ranging display of geological, zoological and artistic collections, and thanks to contributions from the its members, the Museum's library was also at that time in the process of becoming the city's most important library. Over the years it has, in fact, become the most important documentary collection on Canarian matters anywhere.
The Museum's first premises were located on the top floor of the city hall of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which had generously ceded a number of rooms, but the collections grew so rapidly that an alternative site soon became necessary. Dr Chil proved again instrumental in the development of the Museum; on his death he bequeathed his house to provide the Museum with larger premises, as well as other properties, his extremely valuable archeological and natural sciences collections and his 7,500-volume personal library, thus ensuring the future of the institution.
Although Dr Chil died in 1901, his legacy was not received by the Museum until 1913, when his widow passed away. The actual relocation of the Museum to its new premises in Vegueta, however, did not take place until 1923, partly due to the severe economic crisis that hit the islands after the First World War, and it did not finally reopen until 1930.
Despite the sociopolitical upheavals and economic difficulties of this time, the reopening of the Museum marked the beginning of a culturally fertile period, characterized by the holding of public events, scientific as much as artistic or literary, and by the Museum's growing contribution to the expansion of knowledge of the history of the Canary Islands. It is a period when the Museum made up for the absence in the whole of the archipelago of other institutions, public or private, that would support the promotion of scientific and cultural activity, a time when it became the meeting point of all kinds of intellectuals and researchers. This active role was acknowledged in 1944, when the Canarian Museum was incorporated to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) -the Spanish National Research Council.
The fact is, however, that the Museum's financial situation worsened steadily over the following decades, and although both the city council and the cabildo (the island's local government) started to provide some funds during the 1950s, economic difficulties were not overcome until 1973, when the cabildo agreed to take control of the Museum's economic affairs and a governing board was set up made up of representatives of the cabildo itself and of other cultural institutions and bodies. As a consequence of this, a new stage in the history of the Museum started, in which it enjoyed both some tax advantages and the favour of civil society. In 1962 it was declared Historic Artistic Monument, and in 1980 it was distinguished with a Gold Medal for Merit in the Field of the Fine Arts.
In 1984, coinciding with the constitution of the Canary Islands as one of Spain's 17 autonomous communities and with a stable economic situation, the Canarian Museum undertook a programme of modernization and specialization, focusing mostly on the island's prehispanic archeological collections, which involved a series of reforms that rearranged the exhibition area and which brought about a spectacular increase in the number of visitors. It is in this context that, in 1987, the Canarian Museum was incorporated into the Spanish Museum System; in 1993 it was granted the Gold Medal of the City of Las Palmas; in 1995 it was declared an Institution of Public Utility and in 1996 it was awarded the Premio Canarias (Canary Islands National Award) in recognition of its importance to the Islands' historical and artistic heritage.
During this first decade of the 21st century the Canarian Museum has focused on meeting the needs of its three main groups of users: visitors to its permanent exhibition, prehistory specialists, who enjoy access to an unmatched collection of remains to help them understand our past; and researchers, students and other interested Museum visitors who make use of an extraordinary documentary collection that has not stopped growing for a single day since the Museum's foundation.
This has led to the need to extend the Museum's premises, a process that is already under way with the acquisition of adjacent properties which will in due time enable the institution to widen its range of exhibits and services. A hopeful future seems thus to lie ahead of the Canarian Museum, an institution determined to meet the demands of the society it was born to serve.

The Least Among Us
These are older paintings, sketches, and
mixed-media pieces, mostly. Ones that I
didn’t think were working by themselves.
Now, torn and ripped into pieces, collaged
and glued together, joined with newer
paintings and mixed-media pieces.
Reminding me of a crazy quilt, a patchwork
containing my history, a journal of my
painting, my art practice and associations,
noticing separate parts, discarded fragments,
joined, more lively now, dimensional,
connecting with others, unifying,
expansive relationships,
a document expressing my nomadic
existence, my residencies, reminding
me of parchments, folding like a blanket
and able to fit into my suitcase or store
under a bed, a narrative, with their
hide-like quality and creases and
wear, an aging fragility, with titles
that also connect me. From the series, “The
Least Among Us”, relating to the Bible quote:
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one
of the least of these brothers and sisters of
mine, you did for me” (Mathew 25:40, NIV),
contemplating vulnerability, our
interconnectedness and interdependence
with each other, all of us, each of us a
part of this whole, circular, organic,
also in pieces, muddied, torn with
wrinkles and unwanted marks,
collaged, relating, and together.

Et l'un n'empêche pas l'autre.

Ah! Mais bien sûr! Parce qu'elles ont besoin de la classe politique si facilement corruptible pour imposer leurs produits sur les marchés publics comme privés!
