Statue atop the Old State House, Hartford, CT. The statue is a fiberglass replica of the original John Stanwood wooden Lady Justice Statue. The blindfolded figure represents the ideal of impartiality. She holds the scales of justice in one hand and has a sword in her other hand representing punishment of the guilty. The building once housed a courtroom.

This is a detail print copied in the same direction from a larger print dated 1613 and signed by Simon Frisius (1575-1629) in a cartouche, celebrating the Investiture of Prins Maurice of Orange (1567-1625) into the Order of the Garter (Orde van de Kousenband), at the Prinsenhof in Delft. It was part of a a political tilt by the then-rebellious Dutch provinces toward England under James I and away from France, whose King Henri IV had converted to Catholicism shortly before his assassination in 1610.
Background left, on the wall, is a freely-drawn composition labeled "Torqa." This refers to a celebrated episode around 340 BC, in the early years of the Roman Republic. Roman Consul Titus Manlius Torquatus, while Dictator, pursued various wars and alliances with neighboring cities and tribes. He reinstituted severe military discipline including the death penalty for leaving one's military post, as his son did so to pursue and kill a number of the enemy. Despite the son's victory, Torqatus had him executed publicly in a display of impartiality. In 1664, Ferdinand Bols, under a commission from the Admiralty in Amsterdam, produced a painting for their meeting hall (now the Shipbuilding Museum) on the subject and with the same composition as in the engraving, in order to ennoble the savagely harsh maritime discipline upon the Dutch built their empire. It now hangs in the Rijksmuseum.
In the above engraving, the size of the composition corresponds roughly to the size of the later painting. It appears thus in the original engraving dated 1613 that shows Delft in the background left and right and an army with cannons in the foreground, and the aforementioned cartouche crediting Frisius.
The match between the painting by Bols suggests that either Frisius produced a larger engraving of Torquatus at the time or else both prints later versions, after 1664 and with the painting by Bols added. The latter is more likely, as the composition and relative size are too much of a coincidence. If so, it might have been a sarcastic reference to Prins Maurits engineering the trial and execution of Jan Oldenbarnevelt and the imprisonment of Hugo de Groot in 1619, during the pause in the 80 Years War.

BBC impartiality was challenged today by several hundred Pro Palestine protesters who gathered outside the Birmingham studios located in the Mailbox. Several speakers highlighted the disproportionality of coverage and just days after 4 Palestinian children were bombed on a beach in Gaza.
The protesters held an impromptu march to a scheduled Stop the War meeting. When it became clear that the Council House could not accomodate the number of protesters wishing to attend a sound system was hastily put together and a mass public meeting was held in the city's Chamberlain Square.
After having time to develop their assumed identity, everyone gathered around the table for a mock hearing of the zoning board. Walter Fears, an LAPD company member, acted as the 'impartial' chair of the meeting, acknowledging each participant and encouraging them to speak on the real public health and safety issues at play.

“The future is there looking back at us.” — William Gibson
According to a recent Fast Company article, design has “matured from a largely stylistic endeavor to a field tasked with solving thorny technological and social problems.” Designers are no longer relegated to the downstream position of making things look pretty. We now have a seat at the table. No longer makers, we now aspire to be leaders. Design is everywhere, yet is now called upon to respond to constantly changing technological, demographic, and environmental conditions.
In this space between ubiquity and obsolescence, how can designers develop ways of working and collaborating that respond to our contemporary world? Join us for a monthly series of provocations at MAD where practitioners and critics discuss the changing nature of design and visual culture and its impact on the also changing fields of music, education, fashion, and more.

Technology plays the dual role of being instrumentalized as both an impartial tool and critical monitor of progress, security, and connection in our society. In this talk we look at how design, programming, and writing work together to express alternative perspectives on startup culture, surveillance, and automation.

17th century chapel
It is placed on the wild coast, and is a jewel of our religious heritage. Thanks to the action of the association, it can be often open and very many visitors, hikers (the chapel is located on the edge of the GR 34), and tourists can thus gather there for a few moments.
The chapel is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., from Palm Sunday to All Saints' Day and during the Christmas holidays. Outside these periods, the chapel is open every Sunday.
This small chapel isolated on the moor a few steps from a superb coast attracts many visitors.
But it is not alone: a Gallic stele stands not far from the entrance and a fountain, visible along the coastal path, attest to the antiquity of a cult at this location. Moreover, the water from the spring is always supposed to cure rheumatism and eye diseases. This heptagonal Iron Age stele was reused as a cross stand.
Note that it bears an inscription engraved on one of the sides:
TP ST GONVEL 1757.
The spring water is captured by a fountain just before flowing into the sea. It is likely that it was Christianized by the presence of a cross long before the chapel was built.
This chapel, built in 1785, was able to replace an older one. She was traditionally the goal of a Pardon of the Sea.
The interior is very sober
Two polychrome statues dominate the altar. On the left, Saint Samson wears the episcopal mitre.
Of all the many monks who came from the British Isles in the 6th century to evangelize Brittany, Saint Samson is one of the few who are well attested by history since he signed the acts of the Council of Paris around 555.1
Originally from Wales, and pupil of Saint Ildut who gave his name to Lanildut, he would have landed in Plougasnou, in the north of Finistère, where the foundation of the monastery of Lanmeur is attributed to him. He had been ordained a bishop, without a bishopric, before coming to the continent. Appointed Bishop of Dol by King Childebert 1st, he died there around the year 565. His influence throughout Brittany was such that many localities or Breton religious buildings bear his name. It is not impossible that he came to see his friend Ildut in the Pays d'Iroise.
Two other statues catch the eye in this chapel
On the left wall, Saint Isidore, the modest Spanish plowman, represents a model of a peasant who is both hardworking and very pious.
To the right of the altar, Saint Yves is dressed as a magistrate. His gaze directed towards the litigants shows them his listening while with his raised hands, he indicates to them his impartiality 2 during his judgments.
We will also take a look at the modern stained glass windows dating from 1993. On the left, Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin, with her daughter. On the right, Saint Samson, whose bishop's crozier can be seen, heals a patient.
Ultimately, a small, modest chapel full of charm, located in an environment that is both wild and grandiose, which gives it all the qualities of a real postcard subject.

I view with dismay the proposal to include both Acklands Coppice and Bradley Coppice as part of the scheme to develop a centre for use by ‘Riding for the Disabled’ at Bradley Farm, Farley. Whilst I consider ‘Riding for the Disabled’ to be a worthwhile and deserving cause, I question the suitability of the site at Bradley for such purposes.
As I understand, the proposal for Bradley will be centred on a 40m x 80m indoor riding arena for purposes such as carriage driving, riding, vaulting, and that the existing farm buildings at Bradley will be redeveloped for ancillary purposes including a reception, café and residential institution for training courses. The proposed development would be located beyond the settlement boundary and in the open countryside. Given the likelihood of the proposals to involve the construction of new buildings and the redevelopment of the Grade II Listed Stable Range, it is envisaged that justification for this would rely on a substantial number of annual users required.
Such a commercial activity could have a detrimental impact on the nature and character of the Listed Buildings, as well as their wider landscape setting. Given that access to the farm buildings is only possible along the narrow lane from the A4169 there are also significant transport implications. The junction of the road is already quite dangerous and the prospect of horseboxes manoeuvring in this location is not conducive to road safety.
It seems that Shropshire Council is already sold on the idea, with Mr Chris Edwards(Area Director) declaring his support for this activity linking up with the Care Farm across the fields at Tickwood when he attended the Neighbourhood Plan meeting on 3rd October. How he can do this when not only has the Neighbourhood Plan not been published, but no planning application has been submitted, flies in the face of the supposed impartiality of public servants.
Turning to the proposals at Acklands and Bradley Coppices, this area is a tranquil haven between two Sites of Special Scientific Interest at Farley Dingle and Tickwood, also located in close proximity to the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a number of Ancient Woodlands. As I understand, it is proposed that use of this area will be ancillary to the principal activity at Bradley Farm and will include activities such as zipwires for wheelchair bound children, trails, walks, segways, gorge walking and abseiling.
The Acklands and Bradley Coppices are home to several protected species including adder, common dormouse, common pipistrelle and slowworm. Five species of bat are also reported to be in the area using the ivy-covered trees as nurseries for juveniles. There are several species of mammal including polecat, weasel, stoat, fallow deer, hedgehog and badger. In particular, I note there is a very large badger sett in Acklands Coppice. Overall this area of woodland provides a vital wildlife corridor between Wenlock Edge and the Severn Gorge, and I note that the proposed development could have a significant adverse impact on these environmental assets and could sever links between dependent wildlife sites.
I've tried dried yacon before through some of the specialty raw food places, but our produce co-op had it available fresh, so I just had to try it. It's sort of reminds me of a less sweet Asian pear. My first impression was impartial, but I had some more the next day, and I really like it! I also chopped some up and made a yacon fruit salad.

March 15, 2016 - Street Carmen’s Strike, Olean, 1919
In August 12, 1919, the local trolley drivers in the city of Olean initiated a strike. This was a violation of the city ordinance. On August 19, a mob of 5,000 had gathered in the city to protest and riot. Due to the violent characteristics of the protesters, the first wave of Troopers began patrolling the city later that night under the direction of Lieutenant Edward J. Sheehan. Initially, many protesters believed that the Troopers were brought in to protect the company’s property. Lt. Sheehan set the record straight by highlighting how the New York State Police is impartial and brings integrity to the situation. He further stated that the Troopers had no vested interest in either side, but were present only to maintain order and control the violence. In this case, the sheer presence of Troopers thwarted the majority of any violent protests. Within two weeks of their arrival, they departed the area.
Yasin Malik is the chairman of the now banned Kashmir Liberation Front and most objective analysts agree that, as Wikipedia itself notes, 'Malik renounced violence in 1994 and adopted peaceful methods to come to a settlement of the Kashmir conflict.'
Despite having renounced violence for many years, he was arrested in 2019 and kept in what a petition presented by Labour MP Debbie Abrahams to the British parliament has described as "inhumane conditions" preceding an unfair trial. Three years later, on 22 May 2022 Malik was sentenced by an Indian court to life imprisonment on what the petition points out was a 'contrived' charge of terror funding.

On Saturday 5 August, activists gathered in central London to protest the ongoing brutal and illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by India and its use of extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, intimidation and censorship to maintain its control.
Many of those present were also angry at Britain's continued support of India and failure to take action in support of the Kashmiri people's struggle for independence. India has forcibly occupied the region for over 75 years in open defiance of UN resolutions calling for a fair and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices to determine the area's status.
The protest marked four years since the Indian government, on 5 August 2019, revoked the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir, previously guaranteed by the constitution, and instead imposed direct rule from Delhi. As Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported, "The government action was accompanied by serious rights violations including arbitrary detention of hundreds of people, a total communications blackout and severe restrictions on freedom of movement and peaceful assembly."
www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/02/india-repression-persists-jam...
In their most recent report on Jammu and Kashmir, HRW noted that "the government's repressive policies and failure to investigate and prosecute alleged security force abuses have increased insecurity among Kashmiris," and added that "journalists in Kashmir face increasing harassment by security forces, including raids and arbitrary arrests on terrorism charges. Authorities in India have shut down the internet more often than anywhere else in the world. A majority of those shutdowns have been in Kashmir, where they are used to curb protests and access to information."
www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/02/india-repression-persists-jam...
Enforced disappearances also continue as freelance journalist Mir Aiyaz reported in Fair Planet (23 February 2023). He interviewed Khera Begum about the arrest of her son, Abdul Rashid Dar, by over forty Indian army soldiers, with no police officer attending as is legally required. An officer reportedly told his older brother, Shabir, that the police had been "informed" and that he would be released the next morning. He was not. When the family and other locals went to enquire at the nearest army base, initially they were asked to return later, and then eventually told that he had "escaped from custody." As Aiyaz notes
'Rashid's family and community members do not believe the army's version of events. "How can a man escape in the presence of ever vigilant army men?" rued Shabir. "He was too meek a person to escape, and there was no possibility of running away in the forest where he was taken."
It seems equally difficult to believe that if the army had openly stated its intention to hold him for just 24 hours, that he would have risked everything on attempting to flee.
Aiyaz observes that 'locals, particularly youths living in Kunan Poshpora have altered their daily habits due to their fear of being abducted,' and he quotes a student who while 'staring at the fenced playground (of a school), which used to be brimming with kids but has recently been mostly desolate,' told him that "boys head home after the maghrib prayers, and time spent in the playground has been slashed down."

The Indian Army has deployed a huge military force in Jammu and Kashmir which some estimates suggest might be as high as 900,000 troops. One soldier for every eight civilians. According to journalist Munir Akram writing in the Pakistan Observer (6 August 2023), the Indian military has "perpetrated a vicious campaign of repressive actions, including extrajudicial killings of innocent Kashmiris in fake encounters, custodial killings and "cordon-and-search" operations; use of pellet guns to kill, maim and blind peaceful protestors, abduction and enforced disappearances and "collective punishments," with the destruction and burning of entire villages and urban neighborhoods.'

Despite India's ongoing brutal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and despite the continued tension and risk of war with Pakistan, Britain continues to grant licenses for the export of arms to both Pakistan and India.
On 23 February 2023, Politico reported that in the wake of the Ukraine war, 'Britain's defense and aerospace firms now see an opportunity to chip away at Russia's share (of India's military imports)', adding that 'Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems are part of a delegation to Aero India, Asia's biggest airshow which is taking place this week.'
The same report also seemed to suggest that rather than attempt to limit arms exports to maintain some leverage on the shocking human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir and limit the arms race between the two regional nuclear powers - India and her neighbour Pakistan, the British government appears instead intent on promoting arms exports to India. According to Politico, "Last year the UK put India on its defense equipment fast-track - the first such move offered to an Indo-Pacific nation - in a shift that will reduce red tape and shorten delivery times for defense procurement."
www.politico.eu/article/india-pursues-russian-military-bu...
It should also be noted that the United Kingdom is already one of India's largest suppliers of weapons. According to the UK House of Commons Library arms exports update in January 2023, on a "10 year rolling basis the UK is Europe's largest and the world's second largest defence exporter' beaten only by the United States (p10) and the report ranks India as the fourth largest importer of arms from the UK after Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United States, based on arms transfers between 2012 and 2021. (p21).

The officers would be 'on loan' to Buckingham Palace from the strength of Cannon Row (Alpha Delta) the Headquarters of the Metropolitan Police's 'A' or Whitehall Division.
Most of Central London's large public occasions were dealt with by Cannon Row Police Station officers and overseen by the expert Ceremonials Office based at the station and always handled with complete impartiality.
The occasion would be the announcement of the birth of Prince Edward, 10th March, 1964.

On Monday, 28th October 2013, an audience of students, journalists, aid workers and diplomats gathered at the Alliance Francaise de Delhi to watch Access to the Danger Zone, a documentary film directed by Peter Casear and narrated by Daniel Day–Lewis. The film was part of an MSF film screening series being hosted in 10 cities across India by Alliance Francaise and was followed by a Q&A with Dr Unni and Benjamin Wahren, Deputy Head of Mission at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
With footage shot in three of the world’s most dangerous environments – Afghanistan, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the film portrayed the consequences of violence that civilians are forced to endure as well as the challenges that MSF and ICRC experience in reaching these victims and delivering medical aid. Through candid material of MSF and ICRC’s operational activities and interviews with key experts, the film highlighted the principles which guide MSF’s operations - impartiality, independence and neutrality.

Foundation stone 17 Nov 1909 by Mrs C C King, opened 3 Apr 1910, Sunday school 1953, final service 24 Feb 2002, sold.
First church foundation stone 2 Jul 1874 by Miss Hendry, opened 25 Oct 1874, octagonal, closed & demolished 1909.
“the foundation-stone of the Baptist Chapel was laid by Miss Hendry, who can claim being the first young lady resident at Georgetown, Mr. Hendry having settled here with his family when all things were in a most primitive state. The day being unfortunately cold and wet, the gathering was small; but in the evening a tea meeting and concert in aid of the building was better attended.” [Chronicle & Weekly Mail 25 Jul 1874]
“Scarcely any one will pass through Georgetown without knowing something about the Baptist Chapel . . . Octagonal in shape, with walls about 14 feet high, no windows, and a lantern light in the centre of the roof, it is bound to attract attention; and while a prejudiced person will see but little to admire, an impartial judge will admit that it may very possibly have many excellencies. The only other place of worship is a neat Reman Catholic Chapel, and the only school is one conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who have a partly-finished schoolhouse.“ [Register 3 Nov 1875]
“P. Murrie applied for use of hall for religious services while the new Baptist church was being built; granted at 3s per Sunday.” [Northern Argus 9 Apr 1909]
“foundation-stone of the new Baptist Church was laid by Mrs. C. C. King, one of the foundation members of the church in this district. There was a large crowd present. The Rev. T. Vigis gave a history of the old church building, which has now been demolished.” [Chronicle 27 Nov 1909]
“The old building, which was used for upwards of 35 years, has been taken down, and a handsome new Gothic structure has been erected in the main street, opposite to the Bank of Adelaide. The honour of opening the new building was given to the Rev. J. G. Raws, pastor of Unley Park Church. . . . The building — which has a handsome front, with two towers and a commodious porch, with leaded light windows . . . with a large schoolroom at the rear.” [Register 16 Apr 1910]
Clover Hill Baptist church.
Built 1875 on land given by William Thomson, porch 1885, final service Oct 1959, demolished 1969.
“At Clover Hill, about three miles north-east of Georgetown, a ‘comfortable place' had been provided, which would seat 120 persons. The congregations were good and a Sunday-school had been started. No attempt had been made to form a Baptist Church, as ‘there was not one Baptist In the neighbourhood’.” [Evening Journal 14 Apr 1875]
“Baptist . . . A branch of the Georgetown Church has been formed at Clover Hill.” [Advertiser 14 Oct 1875]
“Combined jubilee celebrations of the Baptist Churches of Georgetown and Clover Hill were held from Sunday until Tuesday. In 1875 these two churches held- their first service, the first minister being the Rev. D. Badger.” [Chronicle 8 Aug 1925]

"If Thai citizens think and act in an agreeable and constructive manner, then the country will surely survive."
King's Speech 9 June 2006.
(60th Anniversary of King Bhumibhol,
at the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall)
Full text
"I am pleased to preside over the public audience for Thai citizens and all institutions. Thank you for the congratulatory messages and grand celebrations organised especially for me. The government has made fine preparations and Thai citizens have shown their goodwill throughout the nation.
I am gratified by today's gathering because everyone came to express sincerity.
I am thankful for the well-wishers and the way they have acted in unison.
I feel heartened by unity and would like to remind all about some underlying principles to guide Thai citizens in joining together to preserve and develop their country to new heights of prosperity.
First, everyone should show kindness and compassion to ensure the mental and physical well being of one another.
Second, people should strive to cooperate for the mutual benefit of oneself, others and the country.
Third, everyone should uphold honesty and observe rules and traditions with impartiality.
Fourth, everyone should adhere to righteous thinking and act reasonably.
If Thai citizens think and act in an agreeable and constructive manner, then the country will surely thrive.
Everyone in the public audience and all Thai citizens should strictly follow these principles and propagate them in perpetuity so the country can remain in peace and happiness for the present as well as the future.
May the goodness of the Buddhist Triple Gems and universal sacredness bless the country so as to overcome dangers and allow Thai citizens to live in bliss and prosperity."
Yasin Malik is the chairman of the now banned Kashmir Liberation Front and most objective analysts agree that, as Wikipedia itself notes, 'Malik renounced violence in 1994 and adopted peaceful methods to come to a settlement of the Kashmir conflict.'
Despite having renounced violence for many years, he was arrested in 2019 and kept in what a petition presented by Labour MP Debbie Abrahams to the British parliament has described as "inhumane conditions" preceding an unfair trial. Three years later, on 22 May 2022 Malik was sentenced by an Indian court to life imprisonment on what the petition points out was a 'contrived' charge of terror funding.

On Saturday 5 August, activists gathered in central London to protest the ongoing brutal and illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by India and its use of extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, intimidation and censorship to maintain its control.
Many of those present were also angry at Britain's continued support of India and failure to take action in support of the Kashmiri people's struggle for independence. India has forcibly occupied the region for over 75 years in open defiance of UN resolutions calling for a fair and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices to determine the area's status.
The protest marked four years since the Indian government, on 5 August 2019, revoked the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir, previously guaranteed by the constitution, and instead imposed direct rule from Delhi. As Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported, "The government action was accompanied by serious rights violations including arbitrary detention of hundreds of people, a total communications blackout and severe restrictions on freedom of movement and peaceful assembly."
www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/02/india-repression-persists-jam...
In their most recent report on Jammu and Kashmir, HRW noted that "the government's repressive policies and failure to investigate and prosecute alleged security force abuses have increased insecurity among Kashmiris," and added that "journalists in Kashmir face increasing harassment by security forces, including raids and arbitrary arrests on terrorism charges. Authorities in India have shut down the internet more often than anywhere else in the world. A majority of those shutdowns have been in Kashmir, where they are used to curb protests and access to information."

Enforced disappearances also continue as freelance journalist Mir Aiyaz reported in Fair Planet (23 February 2023). He interviewed Khera Begum about the arrest of her son, Abdul Rashid Dar, by over forty Indian army soldiers, with no police officer attending as is legally required. An officer reportedly told his older brother, Shabir, that the police had been "informed" and that he would be released the next morning. He was not. When the family and other locals went to enquire at the nearest army base, initially they were asked to return later, and then eventually told that he had "escaped from custody." As Aiyaz notes
'Rashid's family and community members do not believe the army's version of events. "How can a man escape in the presence of ever vigilant army men?" rued Shabir. "He was too meek a person to escape, and there was no possibility of running away in the forest where he was taken."
It seems equally difficult to believe that if the army had openly stated its intention to hold him for just 24 hours, that he would have risked everything on attempting to flee.
Aiyaz observes that 'locals, particularly youths living in Kunan Poshpora have altered their daily habits due to their fear of being abducted,' and he quotes a student who while 'staring at the fenced playground (of a school), which used to be brimming with kids but has recently been mostly desolate,' told him that "boys head home after the maghrib prayers, and time spent in the playground has been slashed down."

The Indian Army has deployed a huge military force in Jammu and Kashmir which some estimates suggest might be as high as 900,000 troops. One soldier for every eight civilians. According to journalist Munir Akram writing in the Pakistan Observer (6 August 2023), the Indian military has "perpetrated a vicious campaign of repressive actions, including extrajudicial killings of innocent Kashmiris in fake encounters, custodial killings and "cordon-and-search" operations; use of pellet guns to kill, maim and blind peaceful protestors, abduction and enforced disappearances and "collective punishments," with the destruction and burning of entire villages and urban neighborhoods.'

Despite India's ongoing brutal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and despite the continued tension and risk of war with Pakistan, Britain continues to grant licenses for the export of arms to both Pakistan and India.
On 23 February 2023, Politico reported that in the wake of the Ukraine war, 'Britain's defense and aerospace firms now see an opportunity to chip away at Russia's share (of India's military imports)', adding that 'Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems are part of a delegation to Aero India, Asia's biggest airshow which is taking place this week.'
The same report also seemed to suggest that rather than attempt to limit arms exports to maintain some leverage on the shocking human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir and limit the arms race between the two regional nuclear powers - India and her neighbour Pakistan, the British government appears instead intent on promoting arms exports to India. According to Politico, "Last year the UK put India on its defense equipment fast-track - the first such move offered to an Indo-Pacific nation - in a shift that will reduce red tape and shorten delivery times for defense procurement."

It should also be noted that the United Kingdom is already one of India's largest suppliers of weapons. According to the UK House of Commons Library arms exports update in January 2023, on a "10 year rolling basis the UK is Europe's largest and the world's second largest defence exporter' beaten only by the United States (p10) and the report ranks India as the fourth largest importer of arms from the UK after Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United States, based on arms transfers between 2012 and 2021. (p21).
