"Queloides" is an art exhibit that seeks to contribute to current debates about the persistence of racism in contemporary Cuba and elsewhere in the world. The exhibit was hosted at the Centro Wifredo Lam in Havana (April 16 - May 31, 2010), and is being transferred to the Mattress Factory (October 15, 2010 - February 27, 2011). The twelve artists invited to participate are renowned for their critical work on issues of race, discrimination, and identity. Several of them collaborated in three important exhibits in Havana between 1997 and 1999 (titled “Queloides I”, “Queloides II”, and “Neither Musicians nor Athletes”). The last two were curated by the late Cuban art critic Ariel Ribeaux. All these exhibits dealt with issues of race and racism in contemporary Cuba, issues that had been taboo in public debates in the island for decades. “Keloids” are wound-induced scars. Although any wound may result in keloids, many people in Cuba believe that black skin is particularly susceptible to them. Thus the title evokes the persistence of racial stereotypes, on the one hand, and the traumatic process of dealing with racism, discrimination, and centuries of cultural conflict, on the other. "Queloides" includes several art forms--paintings, photographs, installations, sculptures, videos--and offers novel ways to ridicule and to dismantle the so-called racial differences.
The artists, who were all born in Cuba, include Pedro Álvarez, Manuel Arenas, Belkis Ayón, María Magdalena Campos-Pons, Roberto Diago, Alexis Equivel, Armando Mariño, René Peña, Marta María Pérez Bravo, Douglas Pérez, Elio Rodíguez, and José Toirac/Meira Marrero.
"This is the first time in post-revolutionary Cuba the word ‘racism’ has appeared in the title of an exhibition. Because of this, I have now been banned from Cuba. It is a high price to pay, but we must do what we can to help break the official silence on racism.”
– Alejandro de la Fuente, Co-Curator of "Queloides"

This photograph of the former Milwaukee Road Freight House office in Minneapolis was taken in 2016. The freight house was originally called the In Bound Freight House. The Out Bound Freight House, no longer present, was to the right of the In Bound Freight House. The two-story rectangular yellow brick office, influenced by the Italianate style with flat roof and double-hung sash windows with heavy white hoods, was built in 1879.
The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Station, Train Shed and Freight House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The office for the In Bound Freight House is a contributing property.

Joel Barlow (March 24, 1754 – December 24, 1812), American poet and politician, born in Redding, Fairfield County, Connecticut. He briefly attended Dartmouth College before graduating from Yale University in 1778, where he was also a post-graduate student for two years. From September 1780 until the close of the revolutionary war was chaplain in a Massachusetts brigade. He then, in 1783, moved to Hartford, Connecticut, established there in July 1784 a weekly paper, the American Mercury, with which he was connected for a year, and in 1786 was admitted to the bar.
At Hartford he was a member of a group of young writers including Lemuel Hopkins, David Humphreys, and John Trumbull, known in American literary history as the "Hartford Wits". He contributed to the Anarchiad, a series of satirico-political papers, and in 1787 published a long and ambitious poem, The Vision of Columbus, which gave him a considerable literary reputation and was once much read.
In 1788 he went to France as the agent of the Scioto Land Company, his object being to sell lands and enlist immigrants. He seems to have been ignorant of the fraudulent character of the company, which failed disastrously in 1790. He had previously, however, induced the company of Frenchmen, who ultimately founded Gallipolis, Ohio, to emigrate to America. In Paris he became a liberal in religion and an advanced republican in politics. He helped Thomas Paine publish the first part of "The Age of Reason" while Paine was imprisoned during The Reign of Terror. He remained abroad for several years, spending much of his time in London; was a member of the "London Society for Constitutional Information"; published various radical essays, including a volume entitled Advice to the Privileged Orders (1792), which was proscribed by the British government; and was made a citizen of France in 1792.
He was American consul at Algiers in 1795-1797, securing the release of American prisoners held for ransom, and negotiating a treaty with Tripoli (1796). He returned to America in 1805,and lived at his home, Kalorama in what is now the city of Washington, D.C., until 1811, when he became American plenipotentiary to France, charged with negotiating a commercial treaty with Napoleon, and with securing the restitution of confiscated American property or indemnity therefor. He was summoned for an interview with Napoleon at Wilna, but failed to see the emperor there; became involved in the retreat of the French army; and, overcome by exposure, died at the Polish village of Zarnowiec.
In 1807 he had published in a sumptuous volume the Columbiad, an enlarged edition of his Vision of Columbus, more pompous even than the original; but, though it added to his reputation in some quarters, on the whole it was not well received, and it has subsequently been much ridiculed. The poem for which he is now best known is his mock heroic Hasty Pudding (1793). Besides the writings mentioned above, he published Conspiracy of Kings, a Poem addressed to the Inhabitants of Europe from another Quarter of the Globe (1792); View of the Public Debt, Receipts and Expenditure of the United States (1800); and the Political Writings of Joel Barlow (2nd ed., 1796).

www.844gethair.com - Female hair loss is a common concern. Stress, heredity, medical conditions, medications, nutrition and many other factors can contribute to hair loss in women. Today, hair loss specialists use a multitude of effective treatments to slow stop and reverse the hair loss process. Weak hair, thinning hair, loss of volume or severe shedding are common problems. An abnormal amount of hair in the brush or drain can be signs that hair loss is occurring. Your local dermatologist may not have the time or treatments to offer. Full-time hair loss specialists, like ABHRS-certified Hair Restoration Physician, Dr. Alan Bauman are your best source of diagnosis, treatment and accurate tracking of your hair loss and hair regrowth status. Dr. Alan Bauman was invited on the Emmy Award winning show The Doctors to discuss low level laser therapy, a non-chemical, non-drug treatment for hair loss.
Low Level Laser Therapy is a non-chemical, non-drug, side-effect free way to improve hair growth. Laser therapy can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with other therapies such as PRP Platelet Rich Plasma, prescription topical medications (like Formula 82M), oral medications and supplements as well as no linear scar NeoGraft FUE hair transplants.
At Bauman Medical Group, we have successfully treated thousands of men and women with low level laser therapy since 1997.
For men and women suffering from thinning hair and hair loss, a full medical evaluation is recommended to determine genetic risks, medical conditions, nutritional status and other factors that influence hair growth.
Dr. Bauman also recommends obtaining scientific baseline trichometry measurements with the HairCheck cross-sectional hair bundle trichometer and HairCam dermoscopy for tracking purposes BEFORE starting any regimen.
To watch the video from The Doctors, or for more information on how you can be a part of a clinical trial and have a chance at receiving a FREE LaserCap, visit www.844GetHair.com or call 1-844-GET-HAIR.
Dr. Alan J. Bauman, M.D. is a full-time certified Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery who has treated over 15,000 hair loss patients from across the globe since 1997. He has pioneered hair restoration treatments and procedures such as minimally-invasive FUE NeoGraft hair transplants, low level laser therapy for hair regrowth, compounded hair growth medications, eyelash and eyebrow transplants as well as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments using placental ECM additives.

Knowsley Safari Park is a zoological park and tourist attraction in the Knowsley area of Merseyside, England. Knowsley Safari Park is a member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The safari park contributes to conservation and research through links with conservation projects and its links with universities in Liverpool, Chester and Manchester.
History
The park was opened in July 1971 by Edward Stanley, 18th Earl of Derby and Jimmy Chipperfield[9] using the expertise of general manager Laurence Tennant MBE, formerly the Chief Game Warden of Parks in Uganda and Botswana. Initially the road through the park was 3.5 miles (5.6 km), with visitors driving past lions, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebra, elephants and various antelope. Due to the popularity of this route, an additional 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of road was added in 1973, and camels, buffalo, white rhino, and tigers were added to the park. Over the years, a few modifications have been made. For instance, tigers are now displayed in enclosures within the reserve, and a bypass around the baboons was built for visitors who are worried about damage to their cars.
The park was also home to a former RAF airfield which closed at the end of World War II. The RAF airbase situated at the safari park was also known as No 49 SLG or RAF Knowsley Park and was in use between 13 May 1942 – November 1944.
The park has hosted several sporting events including the Olympic torch relay, watched by 6,000 children and families in June 2012. The park hosted the finish of Stage Two of the 2012 Tour of Britain cycling event and is scheduled to host Stage Three of the 2013 Tour on Tuesday 17 September.
Most recently it hosted the final leg of Big Learner Relay 2017 which has raised over £300,000 for the BBC Children in Need appeal since 2014. Louise Walsh the inspiration behind the BLR has been awarded the prime minister's points of light award which recognises outstanding individual volunteers.
In 1995 Mr William Middleton, a warden at the park, was crushed and paralysed due to a faulty elephant enclosure. Mr Middleton died 12 years later due to complications caused by his injuries.
Zoological collection
Situated around Knowsley Hall on the ancestral estate of the Earl of Derby, the reserve is home to many different animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, bongos, tigers and baboons. The Derby Estate have a tradition of keeping animals, ever since the famous artist and nonsense-poet Edward Lear was employed there in the 19th century to paint pictures of the Earl's collection.
The park is open to the public and customers drive around the park in their own vehicles. There is a bypass route past the baboons for those who wish to avoid the risk of the baboons damaging their cars. In 2009 the baboons made the news all over the world when a video was released showing how they were intelligent and curious enough to open car roofboxes.
Tiger Trail
Amur Tiger Trail opened 25 May 2018, home to the Amur Tiger otherwise known as the Siberian Tiger. The area is 10,000m2 and includes forested areas, natural streams and ponds.
The Equatorial Trail
This exhibit focuses on animals who thrive in habitats around the Earth's Equator. The exhibit also houses the 'Equatorial Express', a small train which visitors can ride to gain a unique viewpoint of the animals. 4 completely different species of animals are housed in this exhibit, the South American tapir, Sitatunga, Rhea and the Capybara.
African Elephant
Until 2017 the park housed a herd of 4 adult cows named Tana, Ashanti, Nala and Juba. They were transported to Zoo Parc d'Beauval, France to enter the European Breeding Programme and allow for transformations on Knowsley Safari's Foot Safari. Knowsley previously housed a bull named Nissim, who collapsed in June 2014. Knowsley also recently lost their cow named Shaba due to a long battle with elephant arthritis.
Southern White Rhinoceros
Knowsley's crash of 11 adult rhinos is one of the most successful and genetically diverse breeding groups in Europe. The latest calf (as at 4 June 2016), Nomvula (Mother of Rain – a reference to the recent wet weather), born to mum Meru and is the 19th to be born at the facility in the last 40 years. Nomvula is Meru's 6th calf and was born on 2 January 2016.
Safari Drive
The Safari Drive is the park's main attraction and contains over 29 species of animals in 7 zones.
Zone 1+11
This zone contains: Père David's deer, Yak, Kiang and Bactrian camel.
Zone 2+8
This zone contains: Blackbuck, Nilgai, Eld's deer, Chital (Axis Deer) and Barasingha.
Zone 3+4+6
Zone 6 is over 100 acres and contains over a mile of road. It is one of Knowsley's two white rhino paddocks and is one of the largest in the UK. This zone contains: Southern White Rhino, Roan antelope, Eland, Lechwe, Wildebeest, Plains Zebra, African Forest Buffalo, Ostritch and Waterbuck.
Zone 5
This zone contains: Blesbok and Bongo
Zone 7
This zone contains exclusively the Olive baboon, which are famous for removing windscreen wipers and other appendages off vehicles. There is a car-friendly route which totally removes this zone however is still visible from outside the perimeter. This leads directly to zone 6.
Zone 9
This zone contains: European Bison, Fallow Deer and European Moose
Zone 10
This zone contains: Lion, and the Somali wild ass. This zone previously housed African wild dog, Iberian Wolf and Siberian Tiger.
All information correct and sourced from the Knowsley Safari Guide Book 2018 and edited by an editor who loves animals.
Railway and other attractions
The park features a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway, 'The Lakeside Railway', on which visitors may tour parts of the site. There is also a collection of amusements and fairground rides on site plus paintballing, off-road driving challenges, and aerial extreme ropewalks.
A baboon house was added in 2006, along with African wild dogs that same year, a lion and tiger house in 2007. Red river hogs and marmosets were also added to the walkaround section, as well as an outdoor pool.
Animal care
In January 2011, local animal rights activists held a peaceful demonstration after an inspection by government vets found one instance of a breach of regulations on the disposal of animal ‘by-products’. Pictures in the Daily Mail showed animals lying dead on the ground and in binbags, although the park's directors claim the pictures were staged by the photographer, whose husband the paper claimed had recently lost his job at the park. The park has since installed an enclosure for the storage of animal carcasses before disposal. The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) later said it had ‘full confidence’ in Knowsley and praised its ‘excellent standards of animal husbandry and welfare’.
This is a photograph from the Ringtown GAA Club Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races, fun runs, and walks which were held in Whitehall, Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Easter Monday (April 21st 2014) at 11:15 and 11:30 respectively. Ringtown GAA club is situated in Whitehall which is on the R394 between Mullingar and Castlepollard. The GAA club is shown here on Google Streetview [goo.gl/maps/UI9tD]. The half marathon started outside the GAA club. The 10KM race started about 1KM away from the start/finish area. Both races shared the same route. The race event was also a fundraiser for the charity TEAM (Temporary Emergency Accomodation Mullingar) which provides emergency accomodation for women and children of the midlands who are subject of domestic and sexual violence. They are located at Teach Fáilte, Green Road, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath.

Ringtown Hurling Club on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ringtown.hurlingclub?ref=ts&fref=ts
The half marathon started at the GAA club. The main loop of 6 miles started here and proceeded around some beautiful rural back roads with major turns at [goo.gl/maps/8Iw9S], [goo.gl/maps/in6yE], and goo.gl/maps/JJzwM before joining up with the R394 and Castlepollard and returning back to Ringtown/Whitehall.
This was the GAA club's first attempt at staging a running event and the overwhelming reaction of participants was that it went perfectly. There was a team of Motorcycle outriders and Gardai who expertly controlled traffic flow (particularly along the very busy R394) and made for very safe running conditions for all participants. There was a wonderful selection of refreshments provided afterwards and maybe people were able to sit out in the sun and enjoy a well earned rest after the race. Shower facilities were provided in the GAA club.

Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase.

For many years this location was a tidal pool until a sluice gate was built in 1930.
Many swimming carnivals were held here. Dawn Fraser swam here in her early years.
Tidal Pool Footbridge Re-construction
After years of experiencing the weather and tidal effects, the footbridge had deteriorated to such a state it had become unsafe.
The sleepers were in poor condition and were being lifted up with the incoming tide and being deposited around the swimming hole on the outgoing tide.
The Port Wakefield Community Management Committee (CMC) with the support of the local community, banded together in order to save this local icon.
A working party consisting of T Olson, S Kelly, I Payne, G Rapko, with assistance from P Thompson, J Kelly, R Germaine and R Patching, undertook the re-constriction work.
The footbridge refurbishment was completed in November 2009.
Community members purchased the sleepers and donated money towards the fastening accessories, to enable the project to be completed without external support or funding.

The restored Tilya-Kori (Gilded) Madrasa at the back of the Registan (main square) includes a mosque decorated with gold to proclaim Samarkand’s wealth at the time. The madrasa (Islamic school) dates from 1660.
Samarkand was probably founded in the 5th century BCE. In 329 BCE it was conquered by 27-year-old Alexander the Great (356-323 BCE). Beginning in the 6th century CE it became a central Silk Road trading point growing even more populous than it is today before its destruction in 1220 by the Mongols led by Ghengis Khan. In 1370 Tamerlane (Timur the Lame; 1336-1405) made Samarkand his capital which blossomed into an economic, cultural, and intellectual center. At the start of the 16th century the Uzbek Shaybanids gained control of the region and moved the capital to Bukhara sending Samarkand into decline, culminating in virtual abandonment after a series of earthquakes in the 18th century. Forced repopulation by the Emir of Bukhara began a recovery that greatly accelerated with the takeover by the Russians in 1868. In 1888 the Trans-Caspian Railway linked Samarkand to the Russian Empire. Samarkand became the capital of the Uzbek SSR in 1925 but was replaced by Tashkent in 1930. In August 1991 Uzbekistan declared its independence.
Samarkand–Crossroads of Cultures became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
[The term ‘Silk Road’ was coined in 1877 by German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen. The Silk Road contributed not only to the exchange of goods and technologies, but also to the mutual enrichment of cultures and traditions of different peoples. Direct maritime trade between Europe and the Far East ultimately supplanted the overland route.]

This photograph was taken by Nicholson Museum curator William J Woodhouse in Greece between 1890 and 1935.
Can you help us catalogue the Woodhouse photographic archive? Contribute by adding tags and answering the following questions in the comments below:
•What do you see? Write a brief description for this image.
•Where was this photograph taken?
•Can you find the geo co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) of this exact place? Let us know by linking to the google maps or add the co-ordinates in your comment.
•Do you know what year this photograph was taken?
About the archive:
The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.
About the project:
We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.
All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.
Havana Times Contributing Writer Arrested
November 10, 2017 |
Osmel Ramirez in his home with one of his tobacco leafs.
HAVANA TIMES – Today, our contributing writer from Mayari, Holguin, Osmel Ramirez Alvarez, was arrested,
reported a family member. The agents also took with them Osmel’s laptop, hard drive and other belongings.
At this moment we do not know in what Police station or State Security facility the tobacco farmer and writer is
being held, or the reason for his arrest.
Osmel had suffered in recent months threats from plainclothes security agents who advised him to stop writing
his opinions.
On August 15 of this year Osmel wrote the following article warning of the threats that today were made
effective.
My Reply to a Dangerous Threat
August 15, 2017
By Osmel Ramirez Alvarez
They love applause, criticisms aren’t welcome. Raul Castro, his first VP Miguel Diaz Canel and the Communist
Party’s numbre two man, Jose Ramon Machado Ventura.
HAVANA TIMES — Every act in Cuba in favor of change, outside of the official framework, is considered an act of
dissidence. It doesn’t matter whether you sympathize with Posada Carriles’ violent methods, with the Chicago
school of economics or whether you are a democratic socialist like yours truly. The system doesn’t distinguish
between them; anyone who doesn’t cheer and applaud is an enemy.
I received my first sign of intimidation from State Security, who were threatening to imprison me, via my
family. According to them, I’m apparently not committing any crime, “but there is proof of my crimes in what I
do and they can imprison me.”
It is worth highlighting the fact that my journalistic work and the dissemination of my democratic and reformist
ideas within socialism have earned me great sympathies and support within my community. This despite backhanded
efforts to ruin my reputation, labeling me an “opponent”, “dangerous” or “counter-revolutionary”, really
derogatory words in Cuba that official propaganda uses.
At the Cooperative where I belong as a tobacco farmer, they have been insisting that I be president for years.
But the ANAP (National Association of Small Farmers) is standing in the way of this, on Party or State Security
orders. I was already a candidate back in 2013, after the ANAP had convinced me themselves, and then they
mysteriously met with the abovementioned institutions and all of a sudden decided to suspend the vote. They
placed a person who wasn’t very well-prepared for the position “provisionally”, pressuring farmers who were
asking for me to be the president.
The much-awaited election was set to take place on December 17th 2014 and I was put forward by the overwhelming
majority. It was really hard for me to refuse the position. But, the order was that I couldn’t take on any kind
of leadership role or responsibility within the community. They arbitrarily took me off of the list, mentioning
that I was an “opponent”. Without being on the candidate list, I still got six votes from farmers who took the
initiative to write down my name and put an “x” next to it.
ANAP, the National Association of Small Farmers.
There would have been a great debate on that day about this aberrant behavior, but it coincided, by chance, with
the simultaneous announcement that Obama and Raul were going to reestablish diplomatic relations between the US
and Cuba. The most symbolic act of this was the return of the “three heroes” from the Cuban 5 and the news
transformed the event into a great party and it was no longer the right time for this kind of dilemma.
The cooperative has serious problems with how it operates and its accounts are very shady, with serious
suspicions of corruption. The ANAP, the PCC and the Government know this, but they don’t dare do anything
because they are afraid that after exposing these problems, the majority of farmers will be able to impose my
leadership. For them, this is something unthinkable. That’s why they do everything they can to keep this current
disastrous situation.
They have even stopped the farmers from creating a monitoring committee so that they can revise their collective
finances, for the simple reason that they don’t want me to be at the head of this body. Worse than that, now
they are afraid, like they were in previous elections, that my neighbors will put me forward as a candidate for
the People’s Power representative and are already tryng to stop that from happening, that’s what they talked
about at a meeting of “revolutionary figures”, this weekend here. Now, the opposition are planning on taking
part in the upcoming elections.
After the threat of being imprisoned, I thought it would be wise and appropriate to send a letter to the
Communist Party’s First Secretary in Mayari, Estrella Maritza Segura, making my position clear. These are my
most important ideas:
“I am a socialist who believes in direct democracy and in political pluralism. I don’t share the concept of one
party meaning national unity, nor do I believe this to be socialist. (…) although our Govenment, like our laws,
are based on this united one-party belief…”
“Like many other people in Cuba, and the majority in the rest of the world, I think differently. I have a right
to have different ideas to official ideas as a Cuban citizen. I have a right to aspire even for our political
system to be better and to work better. Unfortunately, there aren’t any clear or truly effective mechanisms in
our laws or political system that allows people to offer new ideas, discuss them in public spaces and to reach a
majority consensus.”
“… it isn’t in my hands to do anything, nor is it in the hands of our people. According to the Constitution,
only the PCC and Parliament via their government bodies, which is the Party itself in the end and we all know
this, because it’s the only party, only those at this level of government have sovereign power in Cuba and can
decide what needs to be changed and when.”
“That’s why, in hoping for better times, when any citizen can raise their voice and try to promote their ideas
about a better country without this being a crime, I can only be hopeful and try to be useful in the meantime.”
“My articles are an expression of our reality and my personal thoughts can also be found in them (…). They are
my ideas, I write them down and I share them with whoever can read them and discuss them. The Internet is an
open space and nobody can ban anything for political reasons. Sadly, I am unable to publish my articles on media
platforms within the island, because they are controlled by the government and today’s politics dominate these
communication spaces, which should be used for a diverse, critical and productive national debate.”
“Forgive me if I am writing inconveniences. It’s the minimum I can do; and giving this up would mean losing my
dignity. I have a right to have ideas, to write them down and to share them. I am not breaking any law; I am
just using one of my most fundamental rights as a human, after my right to life.”
“Of course, I am afraid of all the power that you have and if you want to, you could imprison me unjustly, by
applying any arbitrary law to make me disappear off the map. You can do whatever you want to. But, I must run
this risk and be honest, just like Marti, “I have faith in the human race improving itself and in future life,”
I hope you don’t commit this silly madness.”
My battle of ideas works in your favor (…) Because a better Cuba has to be beneficial for everyone, not just for
an exclusive political group.”
Many people believe that a letter like this one is useless, but I believe it to be productive.
Cuba State Security Frees HT Writer Osmel Ramirez
November 14, 2017 |
File photo of Osmel Ramirez at his home in Mayarí, Holguin.
HAVANA TIMES – Osmel Ramirez Alvarez, a Havana Times contributing writer, arrested last Friday at his home in
Mayarí and later taken to a State Security facility in the city of Holguin, was released late Monday afternoon.
“I am free! Today at 5 pm, some 72 hours after I was detained at my house, they freed me from the Pedernales
detention center in Holguín. Greetings to colleagues and readers,” wrote Osmel in a brief message.
We still do not know if they returned the equipment confiscated, including his computer, “due to lack of
property papers”, when his house was searched and he was taken to the Mayarí police station.
Osmel’s wife, Idalia, traveled to Holguin, some 60 miles from Mayarí on Monday in hopes of seeing him, but the
visit was not authorized. The instructor handling the case was not there.
Instead, another officer spoke with her and made it clear that they know everything she talks about and what she
writes [on her text messages]. He tried to scare her by saying that she is not helping her husband; on the
contrary, she would also be complicating her own situation by collaborating.
The arrest of Osmel occurred, supposedly, “for recording on USB drives without a license and for his writings,
which go against the principles of the revolution.”
They informed Idalia, that possibly on Friday she would be able to visit him and take him a snack. Then later
in the day came his sudden release.
It was expected that within seven days the State Security authorities would determine what to do with Osmel. The
wife had been told that they would make “an example” out of him. Idalia and Osmel have a little daughter, who
has also suffered this unjust situation.
NOTE: The Havana Times collective knows that what Osmel experienced may happen tomorrow to any other
contributing writer or photographer. We denounce this unjust treatment for expressing ideas and sharing
experiences. We believe that any citizen can -and should- think about their environment and try to transform it
into something better. No to the criminalizing of criticism!
The International Women’s Day 2013 was celebrated in Mazar-i-Sharif though an event attended by nearly 300 guests in Silkroad Hall on Wednesday.
The gathering was organized by the ‘Mazar-i-Sharif Women’s Day Celebration committee’ composed of UNAMA and Cooperation Centre for Afghanistan (CCA) as lead agencies, and WFP, UNHCR, and women’s rights advocate agency – Medica Afghanistan as contributing partners, as well as the provincial women’s affairs department as government counterpart.
Civil society representatives, government officials, provincial council members, UN and NGO representatives, schoolteachers and students, youth groups, journalists, and ordinary women attended the gathering.
The event included speeches, messages, round-table discussion, introducing a role-model woman, live painting in symbolic art, distribution of humanitarian aid to 1,200 women, visit to the female prison, and planting saplings in the Rabia Balkhi Market (run by women shopkeepers).
Messages and speeches were delivered by representatives of provincial governor, women’s affairs department, UNAMA (SRSG’s message on Women’s Day), WFP, UNHCR, Medica Afghanistan, police department, court, law college academics, and civil society.
To highlight achievements, problems, and demands of women from different levels in Balkh, a round-table discussion was organized where representatives of AHIRC, Balkh provincial council, court, police, a law college professor, and CCA addressed several problems including implementation of EVAW law, women condition in prisons, safe houses, delayed cases, constraints, and gaps.
Initiated by UNAMA/NR SCSU, one of Mazar-i-Sharif’s successful women Razia Qateh was called on the stage as a role model to speak to the audience about her struggles in life leading to success despite numerous setbacks and challenges.
Brought up by a middle class family in Balkh’s district of Khulm, Razia is a well-known women rights activist and has a work experience of over 30 years as schoolteacher, college professor, aid worker, and UN staff.
It has not been easy, she said speaking to hundreds of audience quietly listening to her. “One of the main reasons behind my success is not losing hope and not giving up” she continued.
Like all other Afghan women she was also deprived from working out of home during Taliban ruling, but didn’t disconnect herself from the women’s network she worked with before.
Despite strict ban on women activities Razia took the courage to struggle and gain a limited permission from Taliban government and launched several women handcrafts, vocational training and educational projects supported by the United Nations HABITAT program in Mazar-i-Sharif.
“It took a lot of effort and courage to ask Taliban for something nobody believed they’d say yes to, but it finally worked” she said proudly.
Married to her college classmate Abdul Qudoos Qateh who she admires as her strength, she has six children, two college graduates and four still studying.
With collapse of Taliban regime she was back to the stage with more energy and initiatives to support women development.
Attending over 7 international training programs on women development in Africa, Europe, and US in the last ten years she combined her experience with theoretical knowledge and made her dream come true to become a real women rights activist.
Strongly emphasizing on the importance of basic education she stressed “to achieve a healthy society and long term peace it is a must to invest in basic education”.
The program continued with live drawings in symbolic art manifesting sufferings of women by young artists.
As last part of the program WFP announced an exclusive four-month food aid distribution plan to 1,200 most vulnerable women in Mazar-i-Sharif starting on 6th of March.
Each beneficiary will receive a monthly package of 50 kilograms of wheat, 2 litres of cooking oil, 8 kilograms of pulses, and 500 grams of iodized salt, as well as 15 saplings to be planted in their houses.
At the end of the event nearly 30 participants visited the women prison and gave presents to the female inmates.
The program ended with planting saplings in the women’s market – Rabia Balkhi.
With existence of peace and cultural acceptance in Mazar-i-Sharif there is a clear distinct in the moral of women this year compared to same day last year. There are more women in schools, offices, police, army, and private business.
Although on a positive path, there still is a long way to go to institutionalize the social equality between men and women that needs everyone’s effort to achieve.

"The Woman He Loved": Fulton Sheen and the Blessed Mother - Contributed by Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R.
Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary was an ever-present grace in the life of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Like the sun that sends its rays of light upon the earth from its rising to its setting, so the love of Our Lady shone like a bright light over the life of the future Archbishop, from its very beginning right through to its conclusion. It left an indelible impression on his life. This devotion began with his Baptism, at the very time his life in Christ began. He describes what happened in his autobiography: When I was baptized as an infant, my mother laid me on the altar of the Blessed Mother in St. Mary's Church, El Paso, Illinois, and consecrated me to her. As an infant may be very unconscious of a birthmark, so I was unconscious of the dedication but the mark was always there. Like a piece of iron to the magnet, I was drawn to her before I knew her, but never drawn to her without Christ. (Treasure in Clay, p. 316) We can judge how much this consecration to Our Lady meant to young Fulton from the fact that he spontaneously renewed it at the age of twelve when he received his First Holy Communion. His First Communion book contained a copy of the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, which he began to recite every night as a boy and kept the practice up to his death. Later on, when he was ordained a priest, he made a resolution to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass every Saturday when the Liturgy permitted in honor of Our Lady. He saw it as a way to renew his love for her and to seek her powerful intercession. As he looked toward the end of his earthly life, he felt that his love and devotion to Our Lady would be an important part of his encounter with Christ at his final judgment. He felt Our Lord would say to him: "I know all about you; my Mother told me all about you!" Archbishop Sheen's filial love and trust in Our Lady is expressed very clearly in the motto he chose for his coat of arms as a bishop: "Da per Matrem me venire," "Grant that I may come to You through your Mother."This devotion expressed itself in his visits to some of the greatest shrines of Our Lady, especially Lourdes and Fatima. He visited Lourdes over thirty times.
He experienced many special signs of Our Lady's love and care for him there. On one such occasion, when he was without money, he stayed some ten days in a rather nice hotel. He asked Our Lady to send him someone to pay his hotel bill. On the tenth and final day, a man came up to him and asked if he would accompany him and his family on a tour of Paris. When the then Fr. Sheen agreed, the man added another question, "Have you paid your hotel bill yet?"The Archbishop made about ten visits to Our Lady's shrine in Fatima. Unlike Lourdes, where the place of the apparitions of Our Lady was the focus, at Fatima the message of Our Lady was stressed. She had come with a message of hope for world peace, as well as a plan from Heaven on how to obtain it. He saw four things in Fatima. First, he came to realize on the authority of Our Lady that Communism was an evil that was trying to conquer the world as it sought to destroy the Catholic Church. This conviction led him to be an unrelenting opponent of Communism in the West. His voice was often the only one to be heard opposing Communism because so many in the West did not see its dangers. He would often say, "We do not need a voice that's right when everybody else is right, but we need a voice that's right when everybody else is wrong."Fatima impelled him to be that voice! Secondly, the Archbishop saw in Our Lady of Fatima a hope of converting the Muslim people. He held that Our Lady did not appear in the only place in Portugal with a Muslim name (Fatima was named after a Muslim princess who converted to the Catholic faith), simply to convert Russia.
Knowsley Safari Park is a zoological park and tourist attraction in the Knowsley area of Merseyside, England. Knowsley Safari Park is a member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The safari park contributes to conservation and research through links with conservation projects and its links with universities in Liverpool, Chester and Manchester.
History
The park was opened in July 1971 by Edward Stanley, 18th Earl of Derby and Jimmy Chipperfield[9] using the expertise of general manager Laurence Tennant MBE, formerly the Chief Game Warden of Parks in Uganda and Botswana. Initially the road through the park was 3.5 miles (5.6 km), with visitors driving past lions, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebra, elephants and various antelope. Due to the popularity of this route, an additional 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of road was added in 1973, and camels, buffalo, white rhino, and tigers were added to the park. Over the years, a few modifications have been made. For instance, tigers are now displayed in enclosures within the reserve, and a bypass around the baboons was built for visitors who are worried about damage to their cars.
The park was also home to a former RAF airfield which closed at the end of World War II. The RAF airbase situated at the safari park was also known as No 49 SLG or RAF Knowsley Park and was in use between 13 May 1942 – November 1944.
The park has hosted several sporting events including the Olympic torch relay, watched by 6,000 children and families in June 2012. The park hosted the finish of Stage Two of the 2012 Tour of Britain cycling event and is scheduled to host Stage Three of the 2013 Tour on Tuesday 17 September.
Most recently it hosted the final leg of Big Learner Relay 2017 which has raised over £300,000 for the BBC Children in Need appeal since 2014. Louise Walsh the inspiration behind the BLR has been awarded the prime minister's points of light award which recognises outstanding individual volunteers.
In 1995 Mr William Middleton, a warden at the park, was crushed and paralysed due to a faulty elephant enclosure. Mr Middleton died 12 years later due to complications caused by his injuries.
Zoological collection
Situated around Knowsley Hall on the ancestral estate of the Earl of Derby, the reserve is home to many different animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, bongos, tigers and baboons. The Derby Estate have a tradition of keeping animals, ever since the famous artist and nonsense-poet Edward Lear was employed there in the 19th century to paint pictures of the Earl's collection.
The park is open to the public and customers drive around the park in their own vehicles. There is a bypass route past the baboons for those who wish to avoid the risk of the baboons damaging their cars. In 2009 the baboons made the news all over the world when a video was released showing how they were intelligent and curious enough to open car roofboxes.
Tiger Trail
Amur Tiger Trail opened 25 May 2018, home to the Amur Tiger otherwise known as the Siberian Tiger. The area is 10,000m2 and includes forested areas, natural streams and ponds.
The Equatorial Trail
This exhibit focuses on animals who thrive in habitats around the Earth's Equator. The exhibit also houses the 'Equatorial Express', a small train which visitors can ride to gain a unique viewpoint of the animals. 4 completely different species of animals are housed in this exhibit, the South American tapir, Sitatunga, Rhea and the Capybara.
African Elephant
Until 2017 the park housed a herd of 4 adult cows named Tana, Ashanti, Nala and Juba. They were transported to Zoo Parc d'Beauval, France to enter the European Breeding Programme and allow for transformations on Knowsley Safari's Foot Safari. Knowsley previously housed a bull named Nissim, who collapsed in June 2014. Knowsley also recently lost their cow named Shaba due to a long battle with elephant arthritis.
Southern White Rhinoceros
Knowsley's crash of 11 adult rhinos is one of the most successful and genetically diverse breeding groups in Europe. The latest calf (as at 4 June 2016), Nomvula (Mother of Rain – a reference to the recent wet weather), born to mum Meru and is the 19th to be born at the facility in the last 40 years.

A baboon house was added in 2006, along with African wild dogs that same year, a lion and tiger house in 2007. Red river hogs and marmosets were also added to the walkaround section, as well as an outdoor pool.
Animal care
In January 2011, local animal rights activists held a peaceful demonstration after an inspection by government vets found one instance of a breach of regulations on the disposal of animal ‘by-products’. Pictures in the Daily Mail showed animals lying dead on the ground and in binbags, although the park's directors claim the pictures were staged by the photographer, whose husband the paper claimed had recently lost his job at the park. The park has since installed an enclosure for the storage of animal carcasses before disposal. The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) later said it had ‘full confidence’ in Knowsley and praised its ‘excellent standards of animal husbandry and welfare’.

So, this seems like a weird combo (even though we have a time traveler in our midst. :P) anyway, here it is. The Doctor was designed when I noticed I had another Malfoy head, and that there was a good use for it too, and the Czar was designed as a gift for a history buff that I know, so that's that.

Construction of the Classical Revival building was completed in 1902 to the designs of architectural firm York and Sawyer. The building served as a branch for PNC Bank following the dissolution of Riggs Bank in 2005. PNC is currently trying to sell the property. On the right is the American Security and Trust Company Building located at 1501 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. Construction of the neoclassical building was completed in 1905 also to the designs of York and Sawyer. The property currently serves as a branch for Bank of America. Each building (the two properties are sometimes mistakenly thought to be a single building) was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1973. In addition, the buildings are designated contributing properties to the Lafayette Square Historic District, a National Historic Landmark added to the NRHP in 1970, and the Fifteenth Street Financial Historic District, listed on the NRHP in 2006.

Knowsley Safari Park is a zoological park and tourist attraction in the Knowsley area of Merseyside, England. Knowsley Safari Park is a member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The safari park contributes to conservation and research through links with conservation projects and its links with universities in Liverpool, Chester and Manchester.
History
The park was opened in July 1971 by Edward Stanley, 18th Earl of Derby and Jimmy Chipperfield[9] using the expertise of general manager Laurence Tennant MBE, formerly the Chief Game Warden of Parks in Uganda and Botswana. Initially the road through the park was 3.5 miles (5.6 km), with visitors driving past lions, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebra, elephants and various antelope. Due to the popularity of this route, an additional 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of road was added in 1973, and camels, buffalo, white rhino, and tigers were added to the park. Over the years, a few modifications have been made. For instance, tigers are now displayed in enclosures within the reserve, and a bypass around the baboons was built for visitors who are worried about damage to their cars.
The park was also home to a former RAF airfield which closed at the end of World War II. The RAF airbase situated at the safari park was also known as No 49 SLG or RAF Knowsley Park and was in use between 13 May 1942 – November 1944.
The park has hosted several sporting events including the Olympic torch relay, watched by 6,000 children and families in June 2012. The park hosted the finish of Stage Two of the 2012 Tour of Britain cycling event and is scheduled to host Stage Three of the 2013 Tour on Tuesday 17 September.
Most recently it hosted the final leg of Big Learner Relay 2017 which has raised over £300,000 for the BBC Children in Need appeal since 2014. Louise Walsh the inspiration behind the BLR has been awarded the prime minister's points of light award which recognises outstanding individual volunteers.
In 1995 Mr William Middleton, a warden at the park, was crushed and paralysed due to a faulty elephant enclosure. Mr Middleton died 12 years later due to complications caused by his injuries.
Zoological collection
Situated around Knowsley Hall on the ancestral estate of the Earl of Derby, the reserve is home to many different animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, bongos, tigers and baboons. The Derby Estate have a tradition of keeping animals, ever since the famous artist and nonsense-poet Edward Lear was employed there in the 19th century to paint pictures of the Earl's collection.
The park is open to the public and customers drive around the park in their own vehicles. There is a bypass route past the baboons for those who wish to avoid the risk of the baboons damaging their cars. In 2009 the baboons made the news all over the world when a video was released showing how they were intelligent and curious enough to open car roofboxes.
Tiger Trail
Amur Tiger Trail opened 25 May 2018, home to the Amur Tiger otherwise known as the Siberian Tiger. The area is 10,000m2 and includes forested areas, natural streams and ponds.
The Equatorial Trail
This exhibit focuses on animals who thrive in habitats around the Earth's Equator. The exhibit also houses the 'Equatorial Express', a small train which visitors can ride to gain a unique viewpoint of the animals. 4 completely different species of animals are housed in this exhibit, the South American tapir, Sitatunga, Rhea and the Capybara.
African Elephant
Until 2017 the park housed a herd of 4 adult cows named Tana, Ashanti, Nala and Juba. They were transported to Zoo Parc d'Beauval, France to enter the European Breeding Programme and allow for transformations on Knowsley Safari's Foot Safari. Knowsley previously housed a bull named Nissim, who collapsed in June 2014. Knowsley also recently lost their cow named Shaba due to a long battle with elephant arthritis.
Southern White Rhinoceros
Knowsley's crash of 11 adult rhinos is one of the most successful and genetically diverse breeding groups in Europe. The latest calf (as at 4 June 2016), Nomvula (Mother of Rain – a reference to the recent wet weather), born to mum Meru and is the 19th to be born at the facility in the last 40 years. Nomvula is Meru's 6th calf and was born on 2 January 2016.

Railway and other attractions
The park features a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway, 'The Lakeside Railway', on which visitors may tour parts of the site. There is also a collection of amusements and fairground rides on site plus paintballing, off-road driving challenges, and aerial extreme ropewalks.
A baboon house was added in 2006, along with African wild dogs that same year, a lion and tiger house in 2007. Red river hogs and marmosets were also added to the walkaround section, as well as an outdoor pool.
Animal care
In January 2011, local animal rights activists held a peaceful demonstration after an inspection by government vets found one instance of a breach of regulations on the disposal of animal ‘by-products’. Pictures in the Daily Mail showed animals lying dead on the ground and in binbags, although the park's directors claim the pictures were staged by the photographer, whose husband the paper claimed had recently lost his job at the park. The park has since installed an enclosure for the storage of animal carcasses before disposal. The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) later said it had ‘full confidence’ in Knowsley and praised its ‘excellent standards of animal husbandry and welfare’.
