The Unintended Consequence of Ending the Crow Rate: Increase in livestock
“With the removal of the Western Grain Transportation Act in 1995, transportation costs to grain producers increased,” said the Statistics Canada census analysis. “This, along with decreasing grain prices and increasing livestock prices, made the feeding of livestock a good alternative to selling grain.”
ABA Criminal Justice Section Chair Testifies before US House Judiciary Committee Task Force on Over-Criminalization on Collateral Consequences of Conviction
During a working trip to the Chernihiv region, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, together with Vice Chancellor, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action of Germany Robert Habeck and Secretary General of the Council of Europe Marija Pejčinović Burić saw the consequences of the occupation of the village of Yahidne by Russian troops and the war crimes committed by them.
The Head of State, together with foreign guests, visited the school, in the basement of which the occupiers kept 367 civilians in unsanitary conditions, without water and food, from March 3 to March 30, 2022. Among the hostages were 50 children, including several babies - the youngest was one and a half months old. 11 people died, unable to withstand the inhumane conditions. Ten were shot by Russian invaders.
The President of Ukraine and the European guests talked with the villagers who were kept in the basement of the school.
"Thank you for the fact that you survived, managed to wait for our warriors and to tell the whole world about the tragedy that the Russian Federation, the Russian military, together with their leadership, their President, have brought to our land," Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
The Head of State noted that the residents of Yahidne have lived through terrible ordeals. According to him, about 400 people lived in this village before the occupation, and almost 370 people were kept in the school basement with an area of less than 200 square meters.
"They have been kept in the basement for 27 days. They survived – standing and sitting. 11 people, unfortunately, died. And all these people somehow lived in the dark and waited for the return of Ukraine," he said.
The President said that the prisoners wrote the names and dates of death of fellow villagers on the walls in the dark so as not to forget. And the children wrote the lines of the national anthem of Ukraine.
"It is extremely important that these people survived. It is extremely important that our troops de-occupy such settlements with real heroes every day," added Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The Head of State emphasized the importance of the presence of representatives of our partners in the liberated territories of Ukraine, who can see everything with their own eyes.
"It is important to be in such basements in order to understand, in order to help Ukraine. To think about how to find a way to talk with the Russian Federation," the President noted.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also thanked the local residents and the authorities who fought for their lives every day during the Russian occupation.
As a result of military aggression, all 173 houses in the village of Yahidne were damaged, 16 of them were destroyed. In addition, the communal property was destroyed - a cultural center and a first aid station. The school building was heavily damaged.
According to Vyacheslav Chaus, Head of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, thanks to funding from the state and regional budgets, thanks to volunteers and the Latvian government, which allocated funds for building materials and reconstruction, more than 100 houses were reconstructed last year.

They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, but companies like Theranos, whoever did Fyre Fest, and countless others would beg to differ. They might have deserved what they got, but sometimes the bad publicity in question is both false and so outlandish that the company's PR team can only address it with long-suffering sighs. As these stories attest, such incidents can take years of work and lots of self-medicating to undo.

Pécs
The HMA MPDC Hungarian Museum of Architecture safeguards an eosin-glazed animal-head waterspout that is not just a product of the Zsolnay factory, but was a part of the fountain erected in Pécs in memory of Vilmos Zsolnay. The first international success of the ceramics manufacturer from Pécs, Vilmos Zsolnay, came from the 1873 Vienna World’s Fair. His trip to London with Ödön Lechner to collect artworks resulted in a relationship as friends and collaborators that even today ties his name to the Hungarian Art Nouveau movement. The high quality and unmatched beauty of the Zsolnay Factory’s ceramics became world renowned through the 1896 Millennial Exhibition and then the 1900 Paris World’s Fair. Not only Hungarian artists worked together with him, but also well-known foreign architects such as Otto Wagner and Joseph Maria Olbrich.
One of the most extraordinary products of his work was the eosin ceramic glaze. The composition of this product that originated in Italy was long unknown to scientists. However, the chemist Vince Wartha together with Vilmos Zsolnay succeeded in determining the composition of the material at the beginning of the 1890s, and thus were able to work out the procedure to employ it in art.
Vilmos Zsolnay made a pledge to Pécs a few years before his death that he would donate a memorial fountain decorated with eosin-glazed ceramics to be located in front of the city hall that was under construction. After his death, his son Miklós made every effort to fulfill his father’s promise. In 1909, Andor Pilch began preparing the designs for the fountain under the direction of Miklós and with the support of the Parks Department of the Mecsek Association. This outstanding architect of Art Nouveau in Pécs completed the plans by 1911, which were accompanied by a color design by Géza Nikelszky, while the town councilors tried to find a site for the fountain. At first, they planned two smaller fountains for the area in front of the city hall, but they did not fit in with the designated site. They tested out a larger fountain by erecting a wooden model of it, but it would have blocked the view of the entrance. Széchenyi Square, which was in line to be remodeled, became the choice for its location, but the work had not yet begun, so the erection of the fountain was also delayed.
Miklós Zsolnay handed over the completed fountain to the city in 1913, although at that time it was not in its final location. The fountain made from more than 60 parts was first placed in the city hall’s medical office according to the local newspapers, and later they succeeded in hiding it in the basement of the vintners’ school on Ágoston Square when the First World War broke out. In 1923, just five years after the war and one year after the death of Miklós Zsolnay, it was discovered amongst thick cobwebs, packed in moldy straw and paper. Since the work on Széchenyi Square was just beginning at this time, the city decided to hold a ceremony for the erection of the fountain. However, in the end, it was not until May of 1930 when it was placed in the square in front of the church of the Brothers Hospitallers, which since 2003 has been known as Zsolnay Square.
The decoration of the Zsolnay Fountain fits in well with the artistic program from the Hungarian pavilion of the 1911 Turin World’s Fair, which was referred to as “The Palace of Attila.” The fountain is a structure made by chiseled carving of Haraszt limestone with four water basins and four eosin-glazed animal heads above which there is the crest of the city of Pécs on the northern and southern sides and the five-towered emblem (Quinque Ecclesiae) of the Zsolnay Factory on the eastern and western sides with eosin-glazed rosettes. An inscription on the edge of the fountain in runic script reads, “May the memorial fountain of Vilmos Zsolnay forever be a witness to the flourishing of the city of Pécs and the happiness of its inhabitants.”
The animal-head waterspouts may have been inspired by the bull’s-head drinking bowl that is part of the Treasure of Nagyszentmiklós discovered in 1799. This motif has appeared in the works of numerous artists, including the Blood Oath fresco by Bertalan Székely made for the city hall of Kecskemét, the funeral bier of Mihály Munkácsy, the tomb of Ferenc Pulszky, and the pyrogranite roof elements on the Budapest Postal Savings Bank. The find has had a great influence on artists seeking a Hungarian national artistic vocabulary. They considered it to be the chalice of Attila the Hun, but since then archaeologists have instead linked it to the Avars. Rather than being a bull, it appeared to the artists to be an ox, which has much stronger ties to Hungarian folk art. As a consequence, Alajos Stróbl referred to it as an ox head in his works.
A point of interest is that the drinking bowl continued to be a recurring motif. It appears on the funeral parlor in Debrecen built in 1932 according to the designs of József Borsos, the drinking fountain of the Hungária Spring in the Tabán district of Budapest (1934), and the “Drinking Bowl Paraphrase” public sculpture on Boráros Square that was a 1983 work of the sculptor Imre Varga. This sculpture makes reference to János Boráros, who the square is named after and who had the treasure shipped to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
The Zsolnay Fountain in Pécs has been restored several times, first in the 1980s and most recently in 2000, on the 100th anniversary of the death of Vilmos Zsolnay. According to the report of the silicate restoration expert Klára Csáki, “Of the gres glazed fountain elements, the four water basins and the fountain base decorated with eosin inlays as well as the surfaces of the eosin-glazed bull’s-head waterspouts had become encrusted with limescale and the pointing between the elements had fallen out.” In the end, the client decided to have the waterspouts remanufactured. The original elements were placed for safekeeping at the Zsolnay Factory, the Zsolnay Museum in Pécs, and the Pécs municipal government. The fourth one landed up at the Pécs office of the former National Historic Preservation Agency. From there, the historic property supervisor Henriette Levárdy handed it over to the Hungarian Museum of Architecture that was run by the agency at that time.
