A photographic exhibition of iconic imagery by Ged Murray of 1990’s Strangeway Riots.
Her Majesty’s Prison, Manchester, aka Strangeways, was built in 1868 to house and rehabilitate a maximum of 972 prisoners from the surrounding area, mainly those on remand or serving sentences of less than five years.
One hundred and twenty two years later Strangeways held 1660 men in appalling conditions as prisoners were held, three to a cell, for up to 23 hours a day with the cells measuring 12 foot by 8 foot (3.65 by 2.44 meters).
For some years up to 1990, prision policy had been, not to house and rehabilitate, but to control and contain as prisoners suffered the daily humiliation of “slopping out.” There were repeated claims of brutality and injustice and many of the prison officers were known to have extreme right-wing sympathies.
On April 1 1990, during the Sunday service, the prisoners first seized the chapel, and then throughout that day occupied over half the prison. So began a siege and rooftop protest ended on 25 April when the final five prisoners were removed from the rooftop, making it the longest prison riot in British penal history. One prisoner was killed during the riot, and 147 prison officers and 47 prisoners were injured. Much of the prison was damaged or destroyed with the cost of repairs coming to £55 million.
The riot also sparked a series of disturbances in prisons across England, Scotland and Wales.
The British government announced a public inquiry headed by Lord Woolf.
The resulting Woolf Report which only happened as a direct result of the Strangeways Riot, was hailed as the most radical appraisal of the prison system this Century, and was to become a blueprint for the restoration of "decency and Justice into jails where conditions had become intolerable".
Prints are available for purchase.

JOURNEY OF THE JEDI #13 OF 25
Imbalance in The Force
When Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side, his inherent instincts for decency and mercy became completely submerged. With grim finality, he sought out his fellow Jedi and slaughtered them without a second thought. These dramatic actions created a keenly-felt imbalance in the Force, a sense of elemental disruption that could only be quelled by Anakin's eventual redemption. Luke Skywalker provided the emotional impetus for that years later, restoring galactic balance once again.

Back in the mid-1990's I needed an apartment, but the rental market was insanely competitive. I made an appointment to see an apt. in this building. It was really cute with a corner bench kitchen table. But the landlady was quite batty. I told her I wanted to sign a lease, she said great. However, the people who came in ahead of me were still there and protested that she had already promised it to them and they were signing a lease. I let it go not so much out of human decency, but out of fear of having an absent-minded landlord.
The next week I got the Sunday paper on Saturday night, made an appointment for a place a block from Fahey's. The landlord said I seemed like a nice girl so he canceled the rest of his appointments and let me sign on the spot. I had no remorse.
"When Church and State are separate, the effects are happy, and they do not at all interfere with each other; but where they have been confounded together, no tongue nor pen can fully describe the mischiefs that have ensued."

Naches (1947) dir. Ernst Lubitsch.
Jack Benny stars as Maxwell, a retired widower and a fixture of Chicago's Douglas Park neighborhood. Taking place over a single day, this largely plotless film follows Maxwell's interactions with his neighbors as they look for a missing cat, shop for the right pair of candlesticks, and attend a wedding reception. Deceptively simple, the film's quotidian concerns are shot through with Lubitsch's sophistication and elegance, while Benny creates an unforgettable portrait out of small gestures and turns of phrase. Made up of Benny and Lubitsch's memories growing up Jewish in Chicago and Berlin, Naches is an unassuming epic of profound decency and kindness.
Jimmy Carter (born 1924)
When Americans elected Jimmy Carter in 1976, they were voting for a positive change in executive leadership. Burdened by escalating costs of living and tired of recent scandal-ridden politics, they saw Carter as a fresh new face who would make, in his words, government “as good as the American people.” A born-again Christian, Carter touted his human decency to heal the divisions of post-Vietnam American society while also promising to fix the economy. Stemming high inflation, however, proved to be harder than he had predicted. Nor could he do much to ease the ongoing energy crisis, instigated by the cartel of oil producing nations, and characterized by a shortage of gas for consumers at the pumps and high costs for home heating oil. In 1978, Carter successfully brokered a landmark peace accord between Egypt and Israel, but the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, spurred by the U.S. support of the unpopular Shah of Iran, crippled the last year of his administration. He lost a reelection bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In this portrait by Robert Templeton, Carter is shown standing in the oval office, as it was during his tenure. The donkey statuette on his desk was a gift from the Democratic National Committee.

Incentive Structures, Duties, and Decency in the Financial Crisis of 2007 and Beyond
My brother Fred was a teenager when I was born. I saved him from being the baby of the family and in return he changed my diapers and babysat me when our parents went out. We were very different yet much the same. He could never understand how I could live in the city and I could never understand why he moved North. In common, we both carried our Mother's dedication to family and treating other people with charity, decency and respect.

"So not only did Norman "I'm not crazy" Osborn steal my supervillain-turned-hero scheme with the Thunderbolts, then he goes and saves the world by shooting the Skrull Empress! Unbelievable!"
"Yes, Kang has issues with Osborn as well. But Kang is of All-when, he has issues with everyone."
"Right, I mean, have you seen this guy's hair? At least I have the decency to wear a mask."
"The secrets of his hair elude even Kang."
"I could have shot the Skrull witch!"
"Of course. In many instances of the Multiverse, you did."

Catching up on some back shots from the beginning of the year
On a walk around the Addington Cemetery with a wonderful Flickr friend. February 13, 2016 Christchurch New Zealand.
There is so much damaged in the cemetery because of the earthquake we have had. It is such a pity as I don' think it will ever be fully repaired.
The Addington Cemetery was established in 1858 when the Scottish Presbyterians of St Andrew’s Church purchased land for a cemetery in Selwyn Street. Although not the first cemetery in Christchurch, Addington was in fact the first “public” cemetery, “being open to all persons of any religious community” and allowing the performance of any religious service “not contrary to public decency”.
The first burial took place on the 10th of November 1858. The cemetery has several persons of note buried within its grounds including activist Kate Sheppard, Christchurch Mayor Tommy Taylor and members of the pioneer family, the Deans.

this poor dead opossum laid in the pharmacy parking lot that was in front of a house i used to live in. he was there for months, undisturbed. i finally decided that it was so remarkable that folks could park right beside his stinking, rotting body, and not care....and that the employees didn't even have the common decency to remove him, even though he was about 20 feet from the business entrance.

...A shot of the website that's "borrowing" my shot of Nashville... against my wishes... and the Creative Commons license applied to it. They didn't even have the decency to ask or credit me. I mean, I'm flattered that someone like's my work enough to steal it, but come on... A license for a size shot like this is not that expensive!
UPDATE: I finally got in touch with the guy in charge of the site. He was very nice and understanding. Apparently it was a misunderstanding and someone had grabbed the shot and just given it to him or something like that. Either way, I think we've got the resolution just about wrapped up.

Fundamentally religion is immoral. Based on books that expressly permit, prescribe and endorse, or even command, all manner of immorality and unacceptable behavior, there cannot be a shred of moral decency in religion.

Look up in the sky overhead in the daylight
And see the clouds formin, somethin doesn't seem right
It's the time for the world to see
A supreme being of extreme delinquency
Of fast pace and idiosyncracy
Of demented measures and tired decency
Of amazing grace, a powerful face
Better than the beings of the human race
During his working visit to Chernivtsi, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with students of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Bukovinian State Medical University and Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economic of State University of Trade and Economics.
The Head of State spoke with Ukrainian youth about our country, its future, and the work on the analogy of the Marshall Plan for Ukraine. The President said that the main issue of this plan is the restoration of Ukraine: its energy, technology, and economy. According to preliminary estimates, this will require about $700 billion. However, the amount is not final.
"We do not know the real amounts because the war is not over yet. When it is over, we will analyze everything. Basically, the partners agree that everyone will help rebuild Ukraine, that the amounts are, let's say, understandable and affordable. Let's believe in the decency of our partners and hope that they will accept what they say and not just say it," he noted.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is also confident that Ukraine will become a member of the EU and NATO in the coming years.
"NATO is our external defense and, of course, the best security commitment. But I am also convinced that we will strengthen our internal defense. We will strengthen our security at the borders, in the cities, in the communities. In the future, there will be a completely different approach to both security and construction," the President of Ukraine said.
The Head of State added that once the war is over, our country will also pursue the development of various areas of education: medicine, psychology, security, and construction.
Ukraine will need specialists in these fields.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Sheba Welters, a beautiful African American woman, was stalemated by the 'glass ceiling' after doing battle with corrupt individuals within Mega City's largest civil service agency. She had finally reached the highest administrative position she could attain on her own merits through exams. After that, there were the political appointments.
At the next level, all was fair, no standards of morality, except there wasn't any deed 'too low to go', including murder.
Sheba, hardworking and decent, seemed to be an entity unto herself at work until she meets Bob Dunn, the love of her life. You will meet Agatha Fluddrucker and Violet Gray (Sheba's worst enemies), Emmaline Spenser (miserable from birth to demise), Ilene (who would do anything to get her way), Steve Beck (The boss who grossly abuses his absolute power), Ethel (one of Steve's mistresses), Paul (one of Sheba's admirers) Pearl and Evelyn (vengeful and vicious), Edith and Patricia (Both felt threatened by Sheba's intelligence and decency
