I would be very grateful if you would take a moment to read this:
This series of photographs was taken on the afternoon of Saturday the 8th of March 2008, United Nations’ International Women’s Day & which in France was dedicated to Ingrid Betancourt who has been held hostage now for over six years.
They were taken on the Passerelle (footbridge) Simone de Beauvoir in Paris, France - which was shared by the Support Committee for Ingrid Betancourt & the Hostages held in Colombia, and the association for women's rights 'Ni Putes, Ni Soumises'.
It has been an especially difficult past few weeks for Ingrid’s family & friends (especially for her two children Mélanie & Lorenzo). Following the release of Clara Rojas & Consuelo Gonzalez de Perdomo in January, four other hostages (Gloria Polanco, Luis Eladio Perez Bonilla, Jorge Eduardo Gechem & Orlando Beltran) were liberated by the FARC on Wednesday the 27th February 2008. News of their release was wonderful and a sign of hope for the other hostages & their families - that a peace process would be possible, leading to further releases - but they brought with them bad news concerning Ingrid. She is being treated very badly by her captors and is extremely ill - suffering from a recurring hepatitis B infection which, if left untreated by doctors; will undoubtedly kill her. Consuelo Gonzalez has described the conditions of captivity; the lack of hygiene in the forest where the hostages are held, the non-existence of doctors and medication. In such conditions, Ingrid has only a limited number of weeks left.
President Uribe and the Colombian government have decided to turn their backs on a possible peace process by attacking the FARC and killing Raul Reyes and another senior member of the group. Reyes was negotiating with Ecuadorian, Venezuelan & French officials with the aim of releasing a further 19 hostages this month, including Ingrid Betancourt. These hopes have just been smashed to pieces at a moment when time is running out fast.
Uribe was aware of the negotiations and in spite of international calls for the two sides to talk and come to a peaceful settlement, he decided to answer the release of hostages with bullets and arms. The only voice President Uribe listens to at the moment is that of the government of United States of America. If there are U.S. citizens reading this, I ask you to please contact your Governors, Senators and Representatives. Please try and help make a difference. I know it sounds useless and impossible, but Ingrid hasn’t got much time left. If we all try and act to make a difference, it can be done. I would like to encourage everyone, no-matter where you are, to spread the word and try to get in touch with those who have enough influence to make that difference.
If you are a Senator, Representative, politician, an official or adviser, (not highly likely I know, but…), then I ask you to try for a moment and imagine this was happening to you or someone you know. Really, try to imagine for a moment that your political combat for freedom and justice resulted in you being held for years away from your family, that you were seriously ill with little time left – that your children grew to adulthood without you, fought everyday for your liberation so that the world would not forget you and that you may never see them again… imagine for one slight moment – then surely you realise that you must do all you can….
I would like to dedicate this day to Ingrid Betancourt & to all the courageous women such as Ingrid, the Nobel Peace Prize winners Shirin Ebadi & Aung San Suu Kyi, and the many other women who are fighting for Liberty & Justice against all odds. These women are our mothers… our sisters… our daughters… our wives… our girlfriends… our best friends.

Mobilisons nous !
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.

In a joint statement yesterday (14 May) the leaders of Ireland’s main Churches said that talks between Northern Ireland’s political parties to restore the devolved institutions, were ‘a fresh window of opportunity, born of tragedy, but nestling in hope for the future that now requires courageous and compassionate leadership.’
The leaders of the Church of Ireland, Methodist Church in Ireland, Roman Catholic Church, Presbyterian Church in Ireland and the Irish Council of Churches, were speaking today at Stormont House in Belfast, as they met to encourage those taking part in the inter–party talks.
Church Leaders’ joint statement in full
‘As leaders of Ireland’s main churches, we want to add our collective voice to support and encourage everyone taking part in this new round of political talks to seize the opportunity for a new beginning that lies before them.
‘In welcoming this fresh initiative, together, we hope and pray that there will be substantive progress over the next number of weeks that builds relationships, bridges the gaps that remain and leads to the establishment of a sustainable power–sharing executive – one that is built on accommodation and trust, has reconciliation at its heart and is focused on the common good and welfare of all.
‘Having met with the five main party leaders last autumn, and since then having organised a series of meetings on the ground with elected representatives and many in civil society, we have been impressed by the genuine willingness of those involved to engage. At the same time, we all need to be realistic about the significant challenges that lie ahead in finding the necessary agreement.
‘In our churches and faith–based charities, as in other areas of society, we are witnessing daily the damaging and continuing impact of not having a functioning devolved government. Across our community, there is also a growing sense of hopelessness and even despair at the lack of progress. For the sake of the most vulnerable in our society, for the sake of the victims of our past, for the sake of children in our schools and for the sake of people who need improved health and social care services, now is the time to find a resolution to the political impasse.
‘The Lord Jesus calls us all to go the extra mile for one another and to do what is necessary for the greater good. While the timing for these talks may not be perfect, we believe this to be a fresh window of opportunity, born of tragedy, but nestling in hope for a future that now requires courageous and compassionate leadership.
‘At times we can all become so focused on the issues that are significant to us, that we can fail to adequately take into account the concerns that are important for others. However, a way forward can be found when we all have a genuine desire to find a balanced accommodation that can serve the common good. That can be a difficult, but not impossible task. Today we want to support and encourage all those taking part in the search for such an accommodation.’

COURAGE.
When does someone know courage is present?
Is it when everyone has their eyes on the center-stage, waiting for the ring master to make the first move?
Is it when a simple budge from a muscular arm saves the helpless woman under the burning car?
Is it when the expected — however grandiose — is carried out, in order to maintain the erected reputation?
Or is it when everything is said and done, and, in the quiet, a word of empowerment roars through the air?
Or is it when the little man suddenly becomes the one who fears no death, and the big giant is suddenly the one who trembles at its breath?
Or is it when the humble and wise admit to the knowing that courage comes not from the outside, but within?
I've learned a lot about courage lately. Different people, and different things, have spoken to me in different ways.
One of my friends reminded me of 2 Timothy 1:7, which says: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
Captain American taught me more than I could possibly imagine.
And yet another one of my friends, featured above, showed me in real life — even if he may have thought it was the silliest of forms — what a courageous soul truly was.

Laid down as a Courageous-class battlecruiser for the Royal Navy but modified as an aircraft carrier while under construction, with a flight deck forward. This proved unsuccessful, though the first landing of an aircraft on a moving ship took place in 1917.
The model depicts HMS Furious as-built, retaining her single 18" gun aft.
Within a year of building the aft gun turret had been removed and an aft landing deck fitted.
A more complete conversion to an aircraft carrier with a continuous flight deck was carried out in 1921-25.

The 31st annual United States Marine John Basilone Parade. SGT Basilone is the only rated man to be awarded both the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross. The speaker this year was General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Congressional Medal of Honor citation:
For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry in action against enemy Japanese forces, above and beyond the call of duty, while serving with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines in the Lunga Area, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, on 24 and 25 of October 1942. While the enemy was hammering at the Marines defensive positions, Sgt. Basilone, in charge of 2 sections of heavy machine guns, fought valiantly to check the savage and determined assault. In a fierce frontal attack with the Japanese blasting his guns with grenades and mortar fire, one of Sgt. Basilone’s sections, with its “gun crews”, was put out of action, leaving only 2 men able to carry on. Moving an extra gun into position, he placed it in action, then, under continual fire, repaired another and personally manned it, gallantly holding his line until replacements arrives. A little later, with ammunition critically low and the supply lines cut off, Sgt. Basilone, at great risk to his own life and in the face of continued enemy attack, battled his way through hostile lines with urgently needed shells for his gunners, thereby contributing in large measure to the virtual annihilation of a Japanese regiment. His great personal valor and courageous initiative were in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Navy Cross citation:
“For extraordinary heroism while serving as a leader of a Machine-Gun Section of Company C, First Battalion, Twenty-Seventh Marines, Fifth Marine Division, in Action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima in the Volcano Islands, 19 February 1945. Shrewdly gauging the tactical situation shortly after landing when his company’s advance was held up by the concentrated fire of heavily fortified Japanese blockhouse, Gunnery Sergeant Basilone boldly defied The smashing bombardment of heavy caliber fire to work his way around the flank and up to a position directly on top of the blockhouse and then, attacking With grenades and demolitions, single-handedly destroyed the entire hostile strongpoint and its defending garrison. Consistently daring and aggressive as he fought his way over the battle-torn beach and up the sloping, gun-studded terraces toward Airfield Number One, he repeatedly exposed himself to the blasting fury of exploding shells and later in the day coolly proceeded to the aid of a friendly tank which had been trapped in an enemy mine field under intense mortar and artillery Barrages, skillfully guiding the heavy vehicle over the hazardous terrain to safety, despite the overwhelming volume of hostile fire. In the forefront of the assault at all times, he pushed forward with dauntless courage and iron determination until, moving upon the edge of the airfield, he fell, instantly by a bursting mortar shell. Stout-hearted and indomitable, Gunnery Sergeant Basilone by his intrepid initiative, outstanding professional skill and valiant spirit of self-sacrifice in the face of fanatic opposition, contributed materially to the advance of his company during the early critical period of the assault, and his unwavering devotion to his comrades and reflects the highest credit upon Gunnery Sergeant Basilone and the United States Naval Service.”
Get your Stache Band at SweetBands Apparel.
The STACHE is more than a Sweetband, it’s a state of mind. It’s a small, but proud symbol, courageously riding your brow, all while looking the world straight in the eye and declaring: “Sure, I haven’t shaved my pubes since the mid eighties. But I don’t care… because my unit is just that big.”
There’s no hiding the inflated sense of sexual dominance and prep-school arrogance that accompanies a strong mustache. Wearing that stache atop one’s brow takes the experience to another level of intimacy. On the subject, Bill Clinton once compared it to “…briefly displaying your genitalia on the jumbo-tron at an NHL playoff game.” Like Jim Carrey in THE MASK, The STACHE has the power to transform its wearer into a more affluent and desirable person. Illegal in Sri Lanka because of its powerful effects on the female beaver, the band was instrumental in sequencing the human genome, the successful extradition of former Serbian president Radovan Karadzic on charges of genocide, developing and writing the bestselling “14-Minute Workweek,” and leading six other guys in the Seattle Seven.

American actor Spencer Tracy (1900-1967) was one of the major stars of Hollywood's Golden Age. He was the first actor to win back-to-back Oscars for Captains Courageous (1937) with Freddie Bartholomew, and for playing Father Edward Flanagan in Boys Town (1938) with Mickey Rooney. Considered by his peers as one of the best Hollywood actors, Tracy was noted for his natural performing style and versatility.
Spencer Bonaventure Tracy was born in 1900 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His parents were truck salesman John Edward and Caroline Brown Tracy. He had an older brother, Carol. 'Spence' attended no fewer than six high schools and later attended Marquette Academy along with Pat O'Brien. The two left school to enlist in the Navy at the start of World War I. He was still at Norfolk Navy Yard in Virginia at the end of the war. At Ripon College, he did well in the lead of 'The Truth' and decided on acting as a career. In New York, he roomed with O'Brien while they attended the Academy of Dramatic Arts. In 1923 they both got nonspeaking parts as robots in 'R.U.R'. In stock, he supported himself with jobs as a bellhop, janitor and salesman. John Ford saw his critically acclaimed performance in the lead role in the play 'The Last Mile' and signed him to Up the River (1930) for Fox. Despite appearing in 16 films there over the next 5 years, Tracy never achieved star status at Fox. During his stint, the studio had floundered and was absorbed into Darryl F. Zanuck's 20th Century Pictures. In 1935 MGM bought Tracy's contract from 20th Century-Fox. Louis B. Mayer thought he would be a good second lead, particularly in support of the studio's #1 male star, Clark Gable. He made three smash hit films supporting Gable and inevitably lost the girl to the man they called "The King" of Hollywood. After a few years of playing second-fiddle to Gable, Tracy came into his own. He became the first actor to win back-to-back Oscars for Captains Courageous (Victor Fleming, 1937) with Freddie Bartholomew and Lionel Barrymore, and in a project, he initially didn't want to star in, Boys Town (Norman Taurog, 1938) with Mickey Rooney. He was nominated again for San Francisco (W.S. Van Dyke, 1938).
By the 1940s, Spencer Tracy was one of MGM's top stars. Tracy made nine films with Katharine Hepburn, the first of which was Woman of the Year (George Stevens, 1942) and the last Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (Stanley Kramer, 1967). She also became his flame for the rest of his life. After the war, Tracy was nominated for the Oscar for Father of the Bride (Vincente Minnelli, 1950), Bad Day at Black Rock (John Sturges, 1955), The Old Man and the Sea (John Sturges, 1958), Inherit the Wind (Stanley Kramer, 1960), Judgment at Nuremberg (Stanley Kramer, 1961), and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (Stanley Kramer, 1967). He had a brief romantic relationship with Loretta Young in the 1930s and a lifelong one with Hepburn beginning in 1942. His Catholic beliefs precluded ever divorcing his wife, Louise Ten Broeck Treadwell, whom he had married in 1923, though they lived apart. Tracy suffered from severe alcoholism and diabetes (from the late 1940s), which unfortunately impacted his willingness to accept several tailor-made roles in films that would become big hits. Although his drinking problems were well known, he was inarguably considered one of the best actors in Hollywood among his peers (he had a well-deserved reputation for keeping co-stars on their toes for his oddly endearing scene-stealing tricks) and remained in demand. A few weeks after completion of Stanley Kramer's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (Stanley Kramer, 1967), during which he suffered from lung congestion, he died of a heart attack. Longtime companion Katharine Hepburn did not attend his funeral out of respect for his family. Tracy is interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, CA, in the Garden of Everlasting Peace. Tracey and his wife had two children, John Ten Broeck Tracy (1924-2007) and daughter, Louise Treadwell 'Susie' Tracy (1932). Son John was born deaf. His wife, Louise, became an activist for deaf education, establishing the John Tracy Clinic at USC.
