On Sunday 5 May, courageous students at University College of London (UCL) continued to protest against Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza and to condemn Israel's war crimes, to press UCL to divest from companies complicit with Israel's war on Gaza and to play a role in the post war reconstruction of Gaza's universities. Inside the university, students had constructed a protest encampment, which had been set up on the main quad of campus on Thursday 2 May.

Activists from outside the university gathered outside to show their solidarity as security at the main gate had been instructed to restrict access to the grounds only to students. The protest at the gate was small but, despite the grim circumstances facing Gaza's population, occasionally positive and cheerful and even included dance lessons (as can be seen in some of the photos). Since Sunday's protest at UCL, encampments have also been set up at SOAS, Oxford, Cambridge and other British universities.
While at the protest, I noticed journalist Sabrina Miller. Miller has written frequently for the Daily Mail as well as articles in the Spectator, The Telegraph, The Times of Israel and other newspapers. She can be seen in two of the photos in this series holding a notebook, though I'm not sure if she's yet reported on the protest.

Large logo-liveried class 50 No.50032 'Courageous' coasts into Gloucester station on 20th March 1981 heading a Plymouth to Manchester service.

Wright present the Medal of Honor Flag to Valerie Nessel, widow of Medal of Honor recipient Tech. Sgt. John Chapman, during Chapman’s Pentagon Hall of Heroes induction ceremony at the Pentagon, in Arlington, Va., Aug. 23, 2018. Chapman was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for actions on Takur Ghar Mountain in Afghanistan March 4, 2002. An elite special operations team was ambushed by the enemy and came under heavy fire from multiple directions. Chapman immediately charged an enemy bunker through thigh-deep snow and killed all enemy occupants. Courageously moving from cover to assault a second machine gun bunker, he was injured by enemy fire. Despite severe wounds, he fought relentlessly, sustaining a violent engagement with multiple enemy personnel before making the ultimate sacrifice. With his last actions, he saved the lives of his teammates. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Rusty Frank)

A courageous but also very reckless toa of fire, Rulor was created without the ability to sense pain. In some respects this has made him stronger and tirelessly but this means he doesn't know when to stop when he has been seriously hurt.
However a recent injury to his shoulders has brought him back with his feet on the ground.
The King is resting, do not disturb.
Lions have captured our imagination for centuries. Stars of movies and characters in books, lions are at the top of the food chain. The Swahili word for lion, simba, also means "king," "strong," and "aggressive." The word lion has similar meaning in our vocabulary. If you call someone lionhearted, you’re describing a courageous and brave person. If you lionize someone, you treat that person with great interest or importance.
Prime habitat for lions is open woodlands, thick grassland, and brush habitat where there is enough cover for hunting and denning. These areas of grassland habitat also provide food for the animals lions prey upon.
Lions differ from the other members of the large cat genus, Panthera—tigers, leopards, and jaguars. Adult male lions are much larger than females and usually have an impressive mane of hair around the neck. The color, size, and abundance of the mane all vary among individuals and with age. The mane’s function is to make the male look more impressive to females and more intimidating to rival males. The lion’s thick mane also protects his neck against raking claws during fights with other males over territory disputes or breeding rights.
Whenever people are asked to name animals that are in a zoo, lions are usually at the very top of the list. They have certainly been an important part of the San Diego Zoo’s history! There was no San Diego Zoo in 1915, when a handsome male lion named Rex and two females, Rena and Cleopatra, arrived in town as part of the Panama-California International Exposition. It was soon after the Exposition ended that Harry Wegeforth, M.D., decided to create a zoo in San Diego after hearing Rex roar! Rex, Rena, and Cleopatra became some of the new Zoo’s earliest residents.
In 1923, an open-air lion grotto opened along what is now the Zoo’s Center Street. Although there is no record of what happened to Rex and Rena, Cleopatra moved into the then state-of-the-art enclosure along with another female named Queen and a new male named Prince. The trio enjoyed the sun and fresh breezes blowing through the canyon. Lots of lion cubs were born in those early years—Cleopatra had 33 babies over an 8-year period! In our nearly 100-year-history, 119 lions have been born at the Zoo.

This is the first year chickadees have nested in the "bird condo" and I have never seen behavior like this before. This one chased off a bluebird, cardinal and dived at a chipmunk. They all came too close to the nesting box. He/she sits on the top and spreads the tail feathers and looks all around. When he was really upset, he also raised his wings. Such funny behavior!!

Captain Marvel (the Kelly Sue DeConnick version) has quickly become another staple costume.
I wonder why? What factors make a character "pop" like that?
She's been routinely held up as an example of a positive female role model. The costume was designed specifically to be practical and flattering on a realistic female form. It's certainly close-fitting, but it doesn't show off any skin at all (and thus, hopefully, it doesn't attract pervs to the degree that many other female costumes might).
Also, she's "cool" and Marvel has been using the character a lot.
All are factors, I'm sure. And then there's the "availability" issue. I bet that somewhere on the Internet, there's an active Ms. Marvel message board on a cosplay forum that can set you up with the components and information you need to assemble a good costume that you'll look great in...as this cosplayer does here.
This is a photograph of Pericles’s bust (sculpture 549): Roman, 2nd century AD copy (from Hadrian’s villa in Tivoli, Italy / Townley collection) of a lost Greek original of c.440–430 BC. The British Museum, London.
Pericles (c.495–429 BC, Periklēs, Περικλῆς) was probably the most respected, influential and important statesman and leader of Athens during the “Athenian Golden age” (5th century BC, between Persian and Peoloponnesian wars), aka “The Age of Pericles.” He was also an eloquent orator and a successful general of Athens. He was intimately connected with the building programme on top of the Acropolis that witnessed the construction preeminently of the Parthenon. He died in 429 BC of the infamous epidemic (caused by salmonella spp.) that broke out then and devastated Athens. His legacy still survives in the literary and artistic works of the Golden Age.
This is an idealistic image of Pericles as a model of a citizen soldier, with a military helmet on his head, presented as “καλὸς κἀγαθός” (fair of face and sound of heart).
Quotes:
—Happiness depends on being free and freedom depends on being courageous
τὸ εὔδαιμον τὸ ἐλεύθερον, τό δ' ἐλεύθερον τὸ εὔψυχον (last 3 words displayed in the emblem of Hellenic Army)
—Famous men have the whole earth as their memorial
/ alternative translation:
The whole Earth is the Sepulchre of famous men
ἀνδρῶν ἐπιφανῶν πᾶσα γῆ τάφος
(Pericles’s Funeral Oration)
—Time is the wisest counsellor of all.
I woke one morning with the inspiration to embroider one of Joseph Arthur's faces from his coloring book "Color Me Courageous"....8 months later, it was finished. I'd still like to go back and change some colors, but it was the neverending project, I had to call it done.
