Nothing beats the wretched taste of this vile soft drink. Nothing, not paracetamol, not EU regulations, not common decency, not antibiotics. It's like herpes in a can. Note the "Zero", as in "Coke Zero", for people who are deterred by the word "diet". Zero also means Loser. Dr Pepper Loser. You're drinking Dr Pepper Loser. Loser. Happy Christmas.
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.
Located at the Liberties crossroad junction of Kevin Street, New Street South, Dean Street and Patrick Street. At one time the area was known as “Four Corners of Hell” as there was a pub on all four corners of the crossroads.
This caught me by surprise especially as I should have been aware that these facilities existed having gone to school in Leeson Street and college in Kevin Street. There are two separate entities - a small park and an underground public toilet. More than a year ago the City Council announced that the building would be brought back into use as a cafe “as soon as practical”.
When I first noticed the structure it a few years ago I thought that it was an old monument or memorial but upon seeing the entrance I realised that it was an underground public toilet block.
In the 1950s and 1960s there were about seventy public toilets in Dublin but all of them have been closed.
The underground public toilet block at the junction of Kevin Street and New Street was one of a number that were built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in response to an increasing demand for public facilities in the city. Underground facilities such as this were partially hidden from general view in order to satisfy Victorian perceptions of decency. It retains many of its historic features including railings, gates and decorative ventilation shaft.

Countess Constance Markievicz was a trailblazing Irish revolutionary, politician, and social activist who defied conventions and fought tirelessly for Irish independence, women’s rights, and social justice. She was a key figure in the 1916 Easter Rising, the first woman elected to the British House of Commons, and the first female cabinet minister in Ireland. phm.org.uk/blogposts/constance-markievicz/
Constance Markievicz (1868–1927) was an Irish politician, revolutionary, nationalist, suffragist, socialist, and the first woman elected to the Westminster Parliament. She was elected Minister for Labour in the First Dáil, becoming the second female cabinet minister in Europe. She served as a Teachta Dála for the Dublin South constituency from 1921 to 1922 and 1923 to 1927. She was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Dublin St Patrick's from 1918 to 1922.
Markievicz played a dramatic role in the women's suffrage campaigners' tactic of opposing Winston Churchill's election to Parliament during the Manchester North West by-election, flamboyantly appearing in the constituency driving an old-fashioned carriage drawn by four white horses to promote the suffragist cause. A male heckler asked her if she could cook a dinner, to which she responded, "Yes. Can you drive a coach and four?" Her sister Eva had moved to Manchester to live with fellow suffragist Esther Roper and they both campaigned against the anti-suffragist Churchill with her. Churchill lost the election to Conservative candidate William Joynson-Hicks, in part as a result of the suffragists' dedicated opposition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constance_Markievicz
I had so many chanced with these lad-birds, and I really didn't get much of any decency. I think even this one is a little off, so comments, opinions and advice would be appreciated!
R. Kelly has a right to be mad. He may have cheated on his wife, gotten a ticket, but he's sentimental. A tear fell "up out his eye" later and he called her his sunshine. And she repays him by sleeping with another man and not having the decency to throw out the condom wrapper. Poor R!
Though I dared not slip into the abyss, once again.
This time the lip was scaled, directly down into
the molten center of my emotional soul.
And then in a sudden second?
Gone was that rush of bleakness.
No more filching within my psyche'
for proof of sanity, and Of A Supreme Being
Primordially Judging my every thought and breath...
Escape Out beyond those inevitable,
and cloyingly suffocating. Man made monstrosities of abortions within the decency boundaries of late 1950's architectural backpedaling, without direction, in the bland choices of erections know as Eternal Cities.
The “Rest” was left up to us humans to salvage
and maintain.. Without the awareness of a Spiritual Presence, Through connection, about and within us?
We choose to diminish our purity, and to immerse
our most “base” selves. Just above the foundation,
in a “nether-world” of desiccate threats when it comes to riding higher and more fully, than any other animal within, or without, your species.
All The Salt and sage.
Rosemary and thyme.
Thrust into your vacuous
and tiny,
shallow world of existence.
Like some lethal bouquet ,
the overwhelmingly and
somewhat hallucinogenic
perfume of her ardor.
Musk on the silk linings.
Her silicone and sometimes pearly
trails,
as silvery and rainbow glistening
across the finely woven fabric.
The fragile contents contained.
All formed into a vessel,
we call humanity.
Gone beyond lust and greed.
No more fear nor suspicions.
Spiders weaving lovely silken truths
across the Universal divides.
Meshing the souls into one lovely spiral....
Love,peace and Joy to Everyone....

One car over-hanging the pavement and the other on the pavement, leaving no room for pedestrians! At some stage they did have the decency to move both cars on to their drive.

Even on a Monday in September, Chatsworth can be pretty busy so getting half decent shots "sans-peeps" was not easy. It was also pretty gloomy so these three shots are all taken at ISO 2400 f4.5 and shutter speeds of about 1/8sec or so. They were then pushed, bent and generally knocked about way beyond the bounds of common decency!
Will is so diverse. He drew a black merman w/ blonde hair and big muscles but covered up his pecs for decency.
I suspect this somewhat strange model is from Gorka-Morka - one of the many systems Games Workshop comes up with, launches, then suddenly abandons.
At least these days they have the decency to label them as "Limited Edition" up front so you know there'll be no support after the first few months.

CN SD75I #5711 leads a westbound manifest through Matteson, a pretty decent start to what would be another good day on the CN.
This year's show brought students from both Lloydminster & Vermilion campuses together to show off their style, budgeting and presentation skills. Students had a $33.33 budget each to go out into the community and purchase an outfit and appropriate accessories for a Business Awards Banquet.
They were expected to practice their budgeting skills as they shopped for their outfits. Contestants had to show a good taste in fashion and decency. Finally, contestants were tested on their presentation and interpersonal skills as they walked up and down the runway and answered questions from our ‘celebrity’ judges.
The main idea here is to challenge the notion that students have to spend a lot of money to look good for work. Most students struggle with money and this show is a fun way of capturing budgeting, fashion and presentation skills.
The Mexican neighbors' chickens run freely between our property and their, because they don't have the decency to feed or control ANY of their animals.
This package of Sunflower seeds was given to me at the LGBT Pride festival last year by the mother of Sean Kennedy. He was murdered in a hate crime against him because his sexual orientation. I spoke at length with this courageous woman, Elke Kennedy who spends most of her time now spreading her sons tragic story and educating people about hate crimes. She gives out the sunflower seed packets as a tangible symbol of hope for a future free of hate. It is my wish that she doesnt have to crusade for what I would consider "common decency" anymore.
The Trianon was opened at this address in 1922 by Andrew Karzas, who invested a million dollars attempting to capitalize on the various new dance crazes that were sweeping the country. The building was lavishly, colorfully, and impeccably furnished in the style of Louis XVI, with a vast ballroom that accommodated more than 3,000 people, a mezzanine level, a beautiful stage, a grandiose front lobby, and a luxuriously appointed lounge. The Trianon was notorious for rigidly enforcing decency and prevailing social etiquette. Employees intervened to prevent petting, spooning, and other public displays of affection, and women were not permitted to smoke. The club also observed a whites-only admission policy until the mid-1950s. From an entertainment perspective, the Trianon Ballroom was strictly milquetoast. It was not the place to catch the latest, hippest, most avant-garde jazz of the day. Featured instead were orchestras led by folks like Paul Whiteman, Dell Lampe, and Isham Jones, whose softer approach to big band music was more palatable to middle-class whites than the “jungle music” being churned out by such luminaries as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Earl “Fatha” Hines. In 1954, the ballroom was “reopened” in an attempt to recapture some of its former glory. At this point, “everybody” was now welcome, which meant that African-Americans would no longer be refused admission. Horace Henderson & His Orchestra played a few weeks in July of 1954 and recorded a live album from the ballroom, but the Trianon’s days were over, and it closed shortly thereafter. The building was demolished in 1967.
That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.

I love that "common decency" has top billing over state law on a sign in this restroom. I washed my hands twice just to be sure.
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard bearing no publisher's name. The image is a high-definition photograph. Someone has written "1922" on the back of the card.
The Korean Gat
The man in the photograph is wearing the traditional Korean gat (Korean: Hunminjeongeum 갓)
A gat is a traditional hat worn by men along with hanbok (Korean traditional clothing) during the Joseon period. It is made from bamboo or horsehair with a bamboo frame, and is partly transparent.
Most gats are cylindrical in shape with a wide brim on a bamboo frame. Before the late 19th. century, only noble class men could wear gat, which represented their social status and protected their topknots.
Robert Neff of the Korean Times has written the following about Korean male headware:
'One of the most important articles of clothing for Koreans in the late 19th. century was the hat. The elderly man with his majestic black horse hair hat, often seen in pictures, is the iconic image of Korean male society during the Joseon Dynasty (1392 - 1910).
According to Percival Lowell, an American who stayed in Seoul in the winter of 1883-84:
"No Korean can in decency appear
without it [hat], except only to make
room for some other hat."
It was a sign of manhood, "the most essential of attributes," and a badge of one's position in Korean society.
Lowell seemed amused with the difference between Korean and American culture. In the United States it was considered poor manners to wear a hat indoors, and one would rarely remove one's shoes, but the opposite was true in Korea:
"A man would part with any or all of
his clothing sooner than take off his
hat. On entering a house, he leaves
his shoes outside to await his return,
but he and his hat go in together.
As he sits down to eat, he divests
himself of his outer garments that he
may eat with greater freedom, but his
hat stays on; and so it sticks to him
through life ― a permanent black halo."
There were many types of hats. The iconic hat, the gat, was made from horse hair and bamboo and was black and somewhat transparent.
It had a fairly wide brim that in the past, according to popular legend, was much wider as a means of preventing unrest. Because of its wide brim, conspirators were kept apart, and were unable to whisper their plans to one another.
There was also a large mourning hat made from bamboo. It was designed to hide the face of mourners from others they might encounter on the streets. It was considered a grievous breach of etiquette to look into the face of the mourner.
Early French missionaries used the mourning hat to disguise themselves as they traveled the Korean peninsula before the 1880's. They were able to move about in relative secrecy for no one would attempt to communicate with a mourner.
Court officials' hats had slightly bent-forward ear-shaped horizontal wings. It was said they symbolized the wearer's attentiveness and willingness to "catch every word of command that the King may utter."
As Korea entered the 20th. century, there were many reforms forced on the population. Some were readily accepted and appreciated, but others, especially those that dealt with hair styles and hats, were vehemently opposed.
"A man is much more firmly bound to
his hat than he is attached to his wife.
He may put away the latter; without
the hat, life becomes a hollow mockery,
for the hat makes the man. Without it
he remains forever a boy."
Hats remained a part of male culture throughout the first half of the 20th. century, but have since disappeared. The only exceptions are those worn by elderly males in the Jongno area, or the bright colorful caps that young teens and adults wear while out with their friends. The "permanent black halo" is no more.'
A complicated joke. Everyone has heard "This Land Was Made For You and Me," but few people know that by 1950, its author Woody Guthrie was a tenant in a Brooklyn housing complex owned by Trump's father, property developer Fred Trump. Guthrie wrote a song about it, "Old Man Trump."
I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
He stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his
Eighteen hundred family project
By 1973 Donald Trump had joined his father's business, and both Fred and Donald Trump were sued by the Justice Department for housing discrimination against minorities.

Teenage boys, who want to experiment with knife throwing in the woods, should STAY THE FUCK AWAY from my expensive kitchen knives!!!
*cough* and they should have the decency not to lie about it when they are TOTALLY busted because the knives simply aren't capable of removing themselves from the kitchen and being left for dead in the woods.
*cough cough* not that I would know anything about such a situation.
*cough cough cough* And not that there aren't THREE more not shown here, because they weren't found.
(My sense of humor is slowly returning about it. It might be better after he's replaced them. Good thing he's about to make a bunch of money reffing in the Spring.)

kind of funny that after the first 2, which appeal to some sort of sense of decency and goodness, the last sign is basically saying "and if you still don't give a shit, there's cops watching you, so..."
Our German busker's act is to remove her clothes without getting off the unicycle . Before we go any further she is wearing two sets of clothes and for the sake of public decency she apologies to the gents and those of you who thought otherwise … this is a family show don't you know !

Demonstration for decency in danish politics, pro human rights, anti 'Tuneser lov', Christiansborg, saturday, january 10 2009 - Multistitch, taken from 'Rytterstatuen' View Larger
I know nothing of hatred, intolerance, racism, bigotry, indoctrination, homophobia and prejudice. I don't yet understand things like love, compassion, integrity, tolerance, human decency and truth. For the first, most important formative years of my life, all I will know is what you teach me. Please choose wisely.
I climbed onto the pedestrian bridge and walked upto the centre of the narrow canal. I could see a private residence behind the bush and a small private canoe moored on the banks. The lady of the family notice me photographing, so I took care not to point the camera directly at their group in the interest of decency and to safeguard their privacy.

Under the tower are the memorials removed from the chancel by Rev Lockwood mid 19c .
Memorial to Richard Dowdeswell grandson of Rev William Dowdeswell the elder, rector 1676-1711 who built the chancel and rectory.
Richard was the son of Rev William Dowdeswell the younger who followed his father as rector here, by wife Dorothy (a lady according to the guide, of high connections)
Richard went to London to seek his fortune and became a rich merchant but returned home to be buried
"He so far despis'd the empty pomp of a splendid funeral in that great city where he died, that he chose rather to be interred with a private decency amongst the too frequent ashes of his dear relations in this the beloved place of his nativity"
Also in memory of his nephew William Barne aged 18 second son of Henry Barne of London and Anne his wife. A youth of great hopes.
Here lieth the body of Mrs Elizabeth Dowdeswell, widow of the above named Mr Richard Dowdeswell. she was daughter of …… of London. She died the 6th day of July

Show your sinuous neck ( if you have one) and you will make a career.
Look at these two guys: by putting on display, at the right time, in the right place and to the right person, their gorgeous neck, they ended up being on Flickr, worldwide. So, don't be shy, and on occasion show off what you have to show.
