Unintended consequences are outcomes of a purposeful action that are not intended or foreseen. The term was popularised in the twentieth century by American sociologist Robert K. Merton.
Unintended consequences can be grouped into three types:
Unexpected benefit:
A positive unexpected benefit (also referred to as luck, serendipity or a windfall).
Unexpected drawback:
An unexpected detriment occurring in addition to the desired effect of the policy (e.g., while irrigation schemes provide people with water for agriculture, they can increase waterborne diseases that have devastating health effects, such as schistosomiasis).
Perverse result:
A perverse effect contrary to what was originally intended (when an intended solution makes a problem worse).

A consequence of the mass–energy equivalence is that if a body is stationary, it still has some internal or intrinsic energy, called its rest energy, corresponding to its rest mass. When the body is in motion, its total energy is greater than its rest energy, and, equivalently, its total mass (also called relativistic mass in this context) is greater than its rest mass. This rest mass is also called the intrinsic or invariant mass because it remains the same regardless of this motion, even for the extreme speeds or gravity considered in special and general relativity...(Wikipedia)
I think that what that all means is when you ride a motorcycle, go real fast...

"When you show respect for your craft, it will respect you back. I have felt the full force of what disrespect brings.. and what consequences follow as a result." - Torkihr
Torkihr is by far the most skilled of his Fe Matoran brethren, second only to his brother, in which they share the same prosthetic arm. The Nynrah Ghosts met him some years ago and have most likely survived that long through is cut throat precision and ruthless combat skills.
He is not without fault. However, such stubborn behaviour has cost him an arm and a leg, in the most literal sense possible.
I give thanks to Gigamesh-Mocs for the mechanical arm as well as the apron Torkihr wears.

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.
A reminder of war consequences.

"The town was completely destroyed during the Battle of the Ebro (25 July–16 November 1938) and although the lower part of the town was rebuilt, the upper part, known as Poble Vell (Old Town), including the old church on the hill, has been kept as a reminder.
The town has one of the five information centres run by COMEBE, a public consortium, including the Generalitat de Catalunya, that was founded in 2001 to recover the historical memory of the areas in which the 115-day-long Battle of the Ebro, the longest, bloodiest and most decisive battle of the Spanish Civil War, took place. The Centre d'interpretació de la batalla de l'Ebre (Battle of the Ebro Information Centre) has marked paths on a circuit around the area."

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.
Si provano un tale piacere e una tale dolcezza quando si riesce veramente a capire ciò che compone un altro essere umano, quando si coglie il filamento profondo della sua esistenza.

The choice to move from war artist George Lambert’s self-assured self-portrait, and this dramatic painting of a returned veteran from the Afghan war is deliberate on my part. So is the choice of black and white. Colour tends to mesmerise, and here I want you to focus on all the elements in my composition. At the top left hand corner the face of Brett Whiteley appears to be taking a peek at the naked soldier in Ben Quilty’s stunning and moving 2012 portrait of Captain “S”. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/artboards/archie-100/what-lies-...
The Brett Whiteley cameo is from his own triptych which we’ll come to later. But Quilty’s choice of thick paint (you must enlarge this) applied with a palette knife creates a disturbing sense of a body that is at once still alive, but also in many ways already a corpse. There is no doubt here that contemporary war artist Ben Quilty is addressing head-on the issue of PTSD and the depravities of this pointless modern war.
Another artist I highly recommend in this regard is Quilty's colleague in Afghanistan, George Gittoes. Listen to him tell these incredible stories: www.youtube.com/watch?v=714QAXRllp4
Gittoes' book, "Blood Mystic", is truly an example of how art from war zones can change lives.
Remember the ignominious end of the Aghan war recently with the clumsy American withdrawal? Well guess who’s back in power in Kabul now? It was clearly Vietnam 2.0, and like then, our government followed the USA down this ridiculous rabbit-hole, all in the name of keeping the Military-Industrial Complex making profits (a term coined by the conservative President and former General Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s as he tried to warn us of what was happening). Don’t get me started on 9/11.
Let me be completely inflammatory now, since this is the only weapon I have to fight these Masters of War (that Bob Dylan so wonderfully eviscerated!): The war in Ukraine now threatens to escalate to World War 3. You are aware by now I hope that the US Congress has spent over $100 Billion on Ukraine already in what is clearly a proxy war with Russia. Where have we seen such a proxy war before? Well Vietnam of course. History repeats and the casualties of war include not just the innocent civilians, but the tens of thousands of soldiers who die, and those like Captain “S” who return home the living dead, spurned as lepers by their own country and many taking their own lives. It’s a damnable disgrace!
Am I angry? You are damn right I am. There’s a special place in Hell reserved for those who profit from war. As Dylan put it so magnificently when he wrote about Vietnam (but really every war):
“Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks…
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead.”
Recently, I posted an image taken by my wife, Jenny.
Some of you were kind enough to say nice things about her photography. Thank you.
But there have been consequences.
I now have a new Artistic Director (note the capital letters!).
Jen has taken the role on (uninvited) for a mere 50% of any earnings (mind you, 50% of nowt is still nowt).
Unfortunately, whenever we're out together, she now feels qualified to point out "Amazing Images" (note the capital letters) and insist that I shoot several versions. (Evidently, because I spend so much time "mucking about" with my shots I have to take several versions to be sure of getting an acceptable one).
This image is the result of this type of collaboration. The conversation went like this;
J - "Have you seen that line of trees over there?"
D (without looking) - "What trees?"
J - "THOSE trees. The ones at the edge of the field."
D (giving them a cursory lance) - "What about them?"
J - "Don't you think that would make an 'Amazing Image'"
D - "Nope"
J - "Why not?"
D - "Just doesn't inspire me at all. I can't see a photo there"
A few minutes silence .....................
J - "A decent photographer would make something of them."
D - "Well, maybe I'm not a decent photographer"
J - "Evidently not"
More silence during which I sneak another look.
D (Sighing) - "OK. Maybe just the one. Just to please you,................................... sweetheart"
Here it is then.
The image shows sea-surface temperatures in May 2022 and May 2023 compared to a reference period 1985–1993. The temperature of the surface waters of our oceans recently hit an all-time high. With an El Niño looming, concerns are that we will soon be facing even worse extremes. Satellites orbiting overhead are being used to carefully track the patterns that lead up to El Niño to further understand and predict the consequences of this cyclic phenomenon against the backdrop of climate change.

20 years ago my parents were killed in a alley .
I was seven at that time .
And I was with them .
I will never forget that night , because it's encased in my memory ; a fragment none of my psychiatrists have been able to extract throughout the years.
When I was 10 I learned to lie and soon I perfect my new found skill , I fooled all of my doctors , psychiatrists and who not into thinking I was a good little boy with no problems whatsoever .
I wasn't .
Soon afterwards I went to train with the League of Shadows and Ra's A'h Ghul .
I trained for 17 years .
I've reached a rank of master apprentice and soon I found out the truth about the League .
They weren't warriors seeking peace , they were warriors out for blood.
Soon after my findings I left .
Well , the correct turn is ran for my life and somehow got out .
And now ..now I'm back in Gotham .
Turns out this city is ...well if I'm gonna put it lightly , quite fucked .
Each year there is a 5% increase in crime and the police are barely keeping up with it , that is , the policemen who aren't corrupted .
Wayne industries on the other hand has been doing good .
Lucios Fox , a good friend of my family has been running Wayne ind. while I was gone .
But now that I'm back , I'm the new CEO of Wayne Industries.
And more importantly , I'm Batman , Gothams protector .
I've been back for a month now , and already the amount of criminals has been reduced .
But now ..now I'm hunting the big sharks.
People like The Crow , The Penguin , big shots .
And all I have to put them out of their misery is but a suit or two .
The normal suit , a black and gray suit with a golden belt armed with all kinds of gadgets .
And the VERTIGO suit .
A suit specifically designed for bad weather or harsh environments , or places with not much if any air to breathe in.
And of course my Butler , Alfred .
Over the years he has kept me informed about the happenings in Gotham , I find him more than just a friend and a Butler , you could say he's like a father to me.
And that's all I have .
I've got very little to lose in case I fail and ultimately die .
I know the stakes .
And I'm well aware of the consequences.
I promised myself that day , the day my life collapsed that I would help people , I would purge Gotham from corruption .
And one way or another that's what I plan on doing .
Another consequence of the lack of having safe water available locally is the instability of villages. Every dry season, entire villages migrate with their livestock to find water. Such migration prevents the establishment of schools, health clinics, markets, and a general social infrastructure.
The challenge is enormous to those of us who uphold the sanctity of human life and the moral imperative to provide water to the thirsty. We must drill wells in local villages in Sudan. Fresh water is absolute requirement for a community's health. It is a stable developmental platform on which a community can build its future. It is, in short, life.
Water for Sudan is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring fresh, clean water to the people of rural southern Sudan. With our new and improved drilling equipment, we now aim to drill up to 40 wells per year. As of August 2008, we have drilled 29 wells and provided over 80,000 people with uncontaminated drinking water.

"God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone, save me."
She has my soul.
