Another consequence of non-local students in a small town in the 60’s -- hamburgers for dinner, and not from a chain. The college had a cafeteria where you could get breakfast or lunch, but the only eating place close to the ‘dorm’ was this place. In those days it was a drive-in that mainly served burgers and fries, though it seems to have later expanded. There were (and still are) more restaurants in ‘downtown’ Madison, but they closed early in those days and that was about a 15 minute walk, so this place benefited from the ‘dorm’ being across the street.

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?

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?

For Macro Mondays, theme: supernatural.
It looks like the badly cast magic went badly wrong, and our protagonist is being haunted by the colleagues he cast aside in his demented grab for power.
This is a bit of a departure for me. It's my first macro monday taken on a film camera.
The effect was acheived with multiple exposures - eight of them. No digital effects.
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!

This 91-page report documents recent cases in which criminal libel, slander, and "insult" laws have been used to silence public criticism. Criminal defamation charges have been filed against individuals after they held public demonstrations protesting corruption, wrote letters to the editor complaining about fraud, registered formal complaints with the authorities, and published news reports about sensitive subjects.

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.

This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.

Comme nombre de politiques, Madâme Hélène Laporte cumule déjà des mandats et en plus prétend à être élue députée française!
Deux conclusions sont possibles : soit le travail demandé aux politiques se résume à deux heures de présence par jour avec un travail souvent délégué à des assistants payés par le contribuable, soit ils le bâclent!
Et l'un n'empêche pas l'autre.
Pourquoi les multinationales des vaccins n'inventent-elles pas un vaccin contre la cupidité et la mégalomanie?
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!

Quelle honte!
The Knight Commission on Trust, Media and American Democracy examines the causes and consequences of a collapse in trust in democratic institutions, with a focus on trust in the media, journalism and the information ecosystem. In addition, the Commission seeks to identify the perennial and emerging values and social obligations that should guide those who produce, distribute and consume news and information to ensure a functioning democracy. To accomplish this, the August 2017 workshop provided Commissioners and participants an opportunity for thoughtful discussion guided by a set of issue-driven white papers and readings.
