Often when you ordered Dahl Baht with meat, you'd glance out of the window and some poor animal was
being slaughtered. Chickens we're often at the top of the slaughter list. I had the pleasue of "filming" one such occasion with this series of pictures. He wasn't very good at the killing, it seemed to go on and on (I'd always been told you snap the neck first, but he went at it with a blunt knife). After he had removed the head the chicken kept moving it's legs for a good minute, and it cleared it's bowels as well. Nice.
It's good to understand that to eat meat, the animal is first killed. We're so far removed from seeing this with food we buy in the supermarkets.
-Washington, D.C., 15, May 2018. The 37th Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service held on the West Front of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., honored law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. Speakers included President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and guests on the dais included the Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the acting Deputy Director the U.S. Marshals Service David Anderson. During the ceremony family of fallen officers placed carnations for the fallen forming a star and received a medal for the officer’s service.
This year the US Marshals honored the family and memory of DUSM Kenneth Doyle, who died in 2017 from cancer caused by being a first responder on 9/11.

During filming of a BBC appeal for MAG, Victoria Wood saw for herself the charity's vital work clearing cluster sub-munitions, known locally as bombies, from a farmer's field near Nong Het, in the Xieng Khouang province, Lao PDR. In the first 23 days working in the field, the all female team had already found over 500 bombies. Each bombie can maim or kill if disturbed by picking up or hitting with a farm implement. Victoria also witnessed a controlled explosion of 20 bombies, helping to make the field safe for the farmer to expand his crops, helping him to feed his wife and nine children and to provide a desperately needed income.
Here we see one of the all female team using a loudhailer to warn local people about the impending controlled explosion.

نبذة عن تاريخ التدخين
كـأنـك لا تـدري
ليس من عصر كثرت فيه التجارب كعصرنا هذا وكأن الإنسان قد أصيب بهوس التجارب وعدواها في كل ما يمت إلى حياته بصلة. وقد تكون هذه التجارب مجرد واجهه أو مدخل شرعي لممارسة كافة الرغبات والأهواء على اختلاف أنواعها وشذوذها حتى تتحول تلك التجارب أخيرا إلى عادة مستحكمة ظالمة تقود الإنسان حسب هواها ورغباتها. وأكثر ما ينطبق ذلك على عادة التدخين التي تحكمت بعقول الناس على اختلاف مللهم وعلمهم ومشاربهم.
عادة التدخين آفة حضارية كريهة أنزلت بالإنسان العلل والأمراض كتأثيرها السيئ على الغدد الليمفاوية والنخامية والمراكز العصبية وتأثيرها الضار على القلب وضغط الدم والمجاري التنفسية والمعدة والعضلات والعين الخ ...
إنها تجارة العالم الرابحة ولكنه ربح حرام قائم على إتلاف الحياة وتدمير الإنسان عقلا وقلبا وإرادة وروحا. والغريب أن الإنسان يقبل على شراء هذه السموم الفتاكة بلهفة وشوق لما تحدثه في كيانهم من تفاعل غريب تجعله يلح في طلبها إلى أن تقضي عليه.

Likely killed by the Wachovia buyout in 2006 (or the Wells Fargo buyout of Wachovia two years later) this angular, pastel colored relic sits along US-1 in Sebastian, FL.
And here we get our first full look at the pastel-rific 90s-tastic interior. Would you believe me if I told you this building was built in the new millennium?
" ...
Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flip side of the discussion, written in boring bold black and white, it's a statement that these neat little soldiers of death and in fact trying to kill you and that, Pete, is the truth..."

This lonely lioness was on this kill for the better part of three days. One night we came across a leopard staring at her but nothing could budge her.
A local guy told us that recently she lived with her sister and that they each had two cubs. However, two new pairs of male lions had moved into the area and in the ensuing battles all the cubs and this lioness' sister were killed.
She seemed strong and healthy so I would hope that she will get into a pride when things settle down.

Blue-eyed American actor Henry Fonda (1905-1982) exemplified not only integrity and strength, but an ideal of the common man fighting against social injustice and oppression. He is most remembered for his roles as Abe Lincoln in Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath (1940), for which he received an Academy Award Nomination, and more recently, Norman Thayer in On Golden Pond (1981), for which he received an Oscar for Best Actor in 1982. Notably he also played against character as the villain 'Frank' in Sergio Leone's classic Spaghetti Western Once upon a time in the West (1968). Fonda is considered one of Hollywood's old-time legends and his lifelong career spanned almost 50 years.
Henry Jaynes Fonda was born in Grand Island, Nebraska in 1905. His parents were Elma Herberta (Jaynes) and William Brace Fonda, who worked in advertising and printing and was the owner of the W. B. Fonda Printing Company in Omaha, Nebraska. His distant ancestors were Italians who had fled their country around 1400 and moved to Holland, presumably because of political or religious persecution. In the early1600's, they crossed the Atlantic and were among the early Dutch settlers in America. They established a still-thriving small town in upstate New York named Fonda, named after patriarch Douw Fonda, who was later killed by Indians. In 1919, young Henry was a first-hand witness to the Omaha race riots and the brutal lynching of Will Brown. This enraged the 14 years old Fonda and he kept a keen awareness of prejudice for the rest of his life. Following graduation from high school in 1923, Henry got a part-time job in Minneapolis with the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company which allowed him at first to pursue journalistic studies at the University of Minnesota. In 1925, having returned to Omaha, Henry reevaluated his options and came to the conclusion that journalism was not his forte, after all. For a while, he tried his hand at several temporary jobs, including as a mechanic and a window dresser. At age 20, Fonda started his acting career at the Omaha Community Playhouse, when his mother's friend Dodie Brando (mother of Marlon Brando) recommended that he try out for a juvenile part in You and I, in which he was cast as Ricky. Then he received the lead in Merton of the Movies and realized the beauty of acting as a profession. It allowed him to deflect attention from his own tongue-tied personality and create stage characters relying on someone else's scripted words. The play and its star received fairly good notices in the local press. It ran for a week, and for the rest of the repertory season, Henry advanced to assistant director which enabled him to design and paint sets as well as act. A casual trip to New York, however, had already made him set his sights on Broadway. In 1926, he moved to the Cape Cod University Players, where he met his future wife Margaret Sullavan. His first professional role was in The Jest, by Sem Benelli. James Stewart joined the Players a few months after Fonda left, but he would become his closest lifelong friend. In 1928, Fonda went east to New York to be with Margaret Sullavan, and to expand his theatrical career on Broadway. His first Broadway role was a small one in A Game of Love and Death with Alice Brady and Claude Rains. Henry played leads opposite Margaret Sullavan, who became the first of his five wives in 1931. They broke up in 1933. In 1934, he got a break of sorts, when he was given the chance to present a comedy sketch with Imogene Coca in the Broadway revue New Faces. That year, he also hired Leland Hayward as his personal management agent and this was to pay off handsomely. Major Broadway roles followed, including New Faces of America and The Farmer Takes a Wife. The following year he married Frances Seymour Brokaw with whom he had two children: Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda, also to become screen stars.
The 29-year old Henry Fonda was persuaded by Leland Hayward to become a Hollywood actor, despite initial misgivings and reluctance on Henry's part. Independent producer Walter Wanger, whose growing stock company was birthed at United Artists, needed a star for The Farmer Takes a Wife (Victor Fleming, 1935) opposite Janet Gaynor. I.S. Mowis at IMDb: “With both first choice actors Gary Cooper and Joel McCrea otherwise engaged, Henry was the next available option. After all, he had just completed a successful run on Broadway in the stage version. The cheesy publicity tag line for the picture was "you'll be fonder of Fonda", but the film was an undeniable hit.” Wanger, realizing he had a good thing going, next cast Henry in a succession of A-grade pictures which capitalized on his image as the sincere, unaffected country boy. Pick of the bunch were the Technicolor outdoor Western The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (Henry Hathaway, 1936) with Sylvia Sidney, and the gritty Depression-era drama You Only Live Once (Fritz Lang, 1937) with Henry as a back-to-the-wall good guy forced into becoming a fugitive from the law by circumstance). Then followed the screwball comedy The Moon's Our Home (William A. Seiter, 1936) with ex-wife Margaret Sullavan, the excellent pre-civil war-era romantic drama Jezebel (William Wyler, 1938) featuring Bette Davis, and the Western Jesse James ( Henry King, 1939) starring Tyrone Power. Fonda rarely featured in comedy, except for a couple of good turns opposite Barbara Stanwyck and Gene Tierney - with both he shared an excellent on-screen chemistry - in The Mad Miss Manton (Leigh Jason, 1938), The Lady Eve (Preston Sturges, 1941) and the successful Rings on Her Fingers (Rouben Mamoulian, 1942). Henry gave his best screen performance to date in Young Mr. Lincoln (John Ford, 1939), a fictionalized account of the early life of the American president as a young lawyer facing his greatest court case. Henry made two more films with director John Ford: the pioneering drama Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) with Claudette Colbert, and The Grapes of Wrath (1940), an adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel about an Oklahoma family who moved west during the Dust Bowl. In his career-defining role as Tom Joad, Fonda played the archetypal grassroots American trying to stand up against oppression. His relationship with Ford would end on the set of Mister Roberts (John Ford, Mervyn LeRoy, 1955) when he objected to Ford's direction of the film. Ford punched Fonda and had to be replaced.
The Grapes of Wrath (John Ford, 1940) set the tone for Henry Fonda’s subsequent career. In this vein, he gave a totally convincing, though historically inaccurate, portrayal in the titular role of The Return of Frank James (Fritz Lang, 1940), a rare example of a sequel improving upon the original. He projected integrity and quiet authority whether he played lawman Wyatt Earp in My Darling Clementine (John Ford, 1946) or a reluctant posse member in The Ox-Bow Incident (William A. Wellman, 1943). In between these two films, Fonda enlisted in the Navy to fight in World War II, saying, and served in the Navy for three years. He then starred in The Fugitive (John Ford, 1947), and Fort Apache (John Ford, 1948), as a rigid Army colonel, along with John Wayne and Shirley Temple in her first adult role. The following years, he did not appear in many films. Fonda was one of the most active, and most vocal, liberal Democrats in Hollywood. During the 1930s, he had been a founding member of the Hollywood Democratic Committee, formed in support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal agenda. In 1947, in the middle of the McCarthy witch hunt, he moved to New York, not returning to Hollywood until 1955. His son Peter Fonda writes in his autobiography Don't Tell Dad: A Memoir (1999) that he believes that Henry's liberalism caused him to be gray-listed during the early 1950s. Fonda returned to Broadway to play the title role in Mister Roberts for which he won the Tony Award as best dramatic actor. In 1979, he won a second special Tony, and was nominated for a Tony Award Clarence Darrow (1975). Later he played a juror committed to the ideal of total justice in 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957) which he also produced, and a nightclub musician wrongly accused of murder in The Wrong Man (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956). During the next decade, he played in The Longest Day (Ken Annakin, Andrew Marton a.o., 1962), How the West Was Won (John Ford, Henry Hathaway, George Marshall, 1962) and as a poker-playing grifter in the Western comedy A Big Hand for the Little Lady (Fielder Cook, 1966) with Joanne Woodward. A big hit was the family comedy Yours, Mine and Ours (Melvillle Shavelson, 1968), in which he co-starred with Lucille Ball. The same year, just to confound those who would typecast him, he gave a chilling performance as one of the coldest, meanest stone killers ever to roam the West, in Sergio Leone's Western epic C'era una volta il West/Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) opposite Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. With James Stewart, he teamed up in Firecreek (Vincent McEveety, 1968), where Fonda again played the heavy, and the Western omedy The Cheyenne Social Club (Gene Kelly, 1970). Despite his old feud with John Ford, Fonda spoke glowingly of the director in Peter Bogdanovich's documentary Directed by John Ford (1971). Fonda had refused to participate until he learned that Ford had insisted on casting Fonda as the lead in the film version of Mr. Roberts (1955), reviving Fonda's film career after concentrating on the stage for years. Illness curtailed Fonda’s work in the 1970s. In 1976, Fonda returned in the World War II blockbuster Midway (Jack Smight, 1976) with Charlton Heston. Fonda finished the 1970s in a number of disaster films wilth all-star casts: the Italian killer octopus thriller Tentacoli/Tentacles (Ovidio G. Assonitis, 1977), Rollercoaster (James Goldstone, 1977) with Richard Widmark, the killer bee action film The Swarm (Irwin Allen, 1978), the global disaster film Meteor (Ronald Neame, 1979), with Sean Connery, and the Canadian production City on Fire (Alvin Rakoff, 1979), which also featured Shelley Winters and Ava Gardner. His final screen role was as an octogenarian in On Golden Pond (Mark Rydell, 1981), in which he was joined by Katharine Hepburn and his daughter Jane. It finally won him an Oscar on the heels of an earlier Honorary Academy Award. Too ill to attend the ceremony, Henry Fonda died soon after at the age of 77, having left a lasting legacy matched by few of his peers. His later wives were Susan Blanchard (1950-1956), Leonarda Franchetti (1957-1961) and Shirlee Fonda (1965- till his death in 1982). With Blanchard he had a daughter, Amy Fishman (1953). His grandchildren are the actors Bridget Fonda, Justin Fonda, Vanessa Vadim and Troy Garity.

Private* Robert Russell Bailey, 2683, Highland Light Infantry, 'B'** Company, 12th Battalion, Highland Light Infantry.
Killed in Action, 26/09/1915, aged 28
Born in Belfast, Ireland, in 1887, the son of Robert and Martha Bailey***.
By the age of 14 Robert had become a coal miner, and in 1901 he was living with his mother and siblings in Springwell Terrace, Turnpike Road, Hamilton, Glasgow.
Robert married Mary (Minnie) Kelly, a dressmaker in Hamilton on 29/11/1907. The couple lived at 28 Park Place, Dalziel Street, Burbank. Their first son, Robert, was born in 1908, followed by Thomas, born in 1912.
Robert enlisted to serve in the British Army in Stirling.
Initially assigned to the 13th (Reserve) Battalion, HLI, Robert was transferred to 12th (Service) Battalion, HLI, which initially landed in France for active service as part of 46th Brigade, 15th (Scottish) Division, on 10/07/1915.
Robert's Medal Record Card indicates that he landed in France on 28/07/1915, arriving with 12/HLI at Neoux-les-Mines in a draft of 79 men on 05/08/1915.
On 25/09/1915 the Battle of Loos commenced. 12/HLI was split into two units; 'A' and 'B' Companies in the front line trenches on the 15th Division left flank (north of the Loos Road facing the german line between the Loos Road Redoubt and Southern Sap) and 'C'; and 'D' Companies in support between the Lens-Bethune and Loos Roads, south east of Vermelles. (see www.flickr.com/photos/andybailey/39510704370/in/dateposted/)
At 5.50am a gas and smoke barrage had been released from the British front line. This gas, owing to a change of wind, had effected many of the 'A' Company men before they had even left their trench.
The first wave, including 'A' and 'B' Companies, the attack went over the trench parapets at 6.30am.
'B' Company were tasked with investigating Southern Sap. This was discovered to be only a track some inches deep. It was, however, continually raked by machine gun fire and many men from 'B' Company became casualties here as they attempted to shelter in it. Despite losing all of their officers and sergeants before reaching the German wire, elements of the company managed to breach the German front line and bomb their way ti the right to meet A Company. To the left, the flank was left hanging as the 1st Division advance failed to enter the German front line.
The battalion were to remain in the fighting until the evening of the 26th. When withdrawn, the battalion recorded that 7 officers had been killed and 11 were wounded, and 63 men were confirmed dead with a further 228 missing. The CWGC register notes that 213 men of the 12/HLI died in the 2 days that the unit was in action, 187 have no known grave.
Robert was reported Killed in Action on the 26th, and buried after the battle in a grave together with 8 other men (7 from his unit) at a point in the location of Lone Tree (sheet 36.G.23.a.7.5.). Interred beneath one grave marker, it appears that their bodies were collected from the battlefield and moved to this point. On 23/10/1919, the men were exhumed and moved to St Mary's ADS Cemetery, Robert being laid to rest in grave XII.F.11.
"SACRED ARE THE REGIONS WHERE YOUR FEET HAVE TROD"
Robert's bothers Ephraim and William also enlisted in the 11th Battalion Highland Light Infantry on 12/09/1914, serving as Privates 19358 and 19359 respectively. Ephraim served overseas with the 11/HLI, being commissioned in 1918, whereas William was medically discharged permanently unfit for military service within a year and did not serve abroad.
On the 25/09/1915, the first day of the Battle of Loos, Robert's brother Ephraim was in action with 11/HLI, attacking towards Madagascar Trench, along the direction of the Vermelles to Achy-Les Mines road.
*Noted as a Lance Corporal on the 1915 Star Medal Rolls.
** CWGC states "E" Company, however the 12/HLI did not have such a company, therefore assumed to be mistaken for 'B' Company.
*** CWGC register notes address as 38, Burnbank Rd., Hamilton, Lanarkshire.
The General Motors EV1 was an electric car produced and leased by General Motors from 1996 to 1999.[2] It was the first mass-produced and purpose-designed electric vehicle of the modern era from a major automaker, the first GM car designed to be an electric vehicle from the outset along with being the first and only passenger car to be sold under the corporate General Motors (GM) name instead of being branded under one of its divisions.[3]
The decision to mass-produce an electric car came after GM received a favorable reception for its 1990 Impact electric concept car, upon which the design of the EV1 drew heavily. Inspired partly by the Impact's perceived potential for success, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) subsequently passed a mandate that made the production and sale of zero-emissions vehicles (ZEV) a requirement for the seven major automakers selling cars in the United States to continue to market their vehicles in California. The EV1 was made available through limited lease-only agreements, initially to residents of the cities of Los Angeles, California, and Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona.[4] EV1 lessees were officially participants in a "real-world engineering evaluation" and market study into the feasibility of producing and marketing a commuter electric vehicle in select U.S. markets undertaken by GM's Advanced Technology Vehicles group.[5][6] The cars were not available for purchase, and could be serviced only at designated Saturn dealerships. Within a year of the EV1's release, leasing programs were also launched in San Francisco and Sacramento, California, along with a limited program in the state of Georgia.
While customer reaction to the EV1 was positive, GM believed that electric cars occupied an unprofitable niche of the automobile market, and ended up crushing most of the cars, regardless of protesting customers.[7] Furthermore, an alliance of the major automakers litigated the CARB regulation in court, resulting in a slackening of the ZEV stipulation, permitting the companies to produce super-low-emissions vehicles, natural gas vehicles, and hybrid cars in place of pure electrics. The EV1 program was subsequently discontinued in 2002, and all cars on the road were repossessed. Lessees were not given the option to purchase their cars from GM, which cited parts, service, and liability regulations.[2] The majority of the repossessed EV1s were crushed, and about 40 were delivered to museums and educational institutes with their electric powertrains deactivated, under the agreement that the cars were not to be reactivated and driven on the road. About 20 units were donated to overseas institutions. The only intact EV1 was donated to the Smithsonian Institution.[8]
The EV1's discontinuation remains controversial, with electric car enthusiasts, environmental interest groups and former EV1 lessees accusing GM of self-sabotaging its electric car program to avoid potential losses in spare parts sales (sales forced by government regulations), while also blaming the oil industry for conspiring to keep electric cars off the road.[2] As a result of the forced repossession and destruction of the majority of EV1s, an intact and working EV1 is one of the rarest cars from the 1990s.
The decades before the release of the Impact and the EV1 had seen little in the way of development on the electric car front. The Henney Kilowatt, which ended production in 1961, was the last time a feasible production electric car of any sort had been released; GM's own Electrovair and Electrovette of 1966 and 1976, respectively, never reached production, amounting to little more than conceptual electric conversion kits for the automaker's popular gasoline models. Technical and production costs difficulties were blamed.
In contrast to these cars, the EV1 was designed from the ground up to be an electric vehicle. It was not a conversion of an existing vehicle, nor did it share a drivetrain with another GM model, which contributed to its high development and production costs. The EV1 program was initially administered by a GM engineer named Kenneth Baker, who had been the lead on the Electrovette program in the 1970s.
Drivetrain[edit]
The car's 3-phase AC induction electric motor produced 137 brake horsepower (102 kW) at 7000 rpm. Like electric trains and all vehicles with an electric motor (and unlike a car powered by an internal combustion engine), the EV1 could deliver its full torque capacity throughout its power band, producing 110 pound-feet (149 newton-meters) of torque anywhere between 0 and 7000 rpm, allowing the omission of a manual or automatic gearbox. Power was delivered to the front wheels through a single-speed reduction integrated transmission.
Battery[edit]
The Gen I EV1 models, released in 1996, used lead-acid batteries, which weighed 1,175 lb (533 kg). The first batch of batteries were provided by GM's Delphi branch; these were rated at 53 amp-hours at 312 volts (16.5 kWh), and initially provided a range of 60 miles (97 km) per charge. Gen II cars, released in 1999, used a new batch of lead-acid batteries provided by Panasonic, which now weighed 1,310 lb (594 kg);[59] some Gen I cars were retrofitted with this battery pack. The Japanese batteries were rated at 60 amp-hours (18.7 kWh) at 312 volts, and increased the EV1's range to 100 miles (161 km). Soon after the rollout of the second generation cars, the originally intended nickel metal hydride (NiMH) "Ovonic" battery pack, which reduced the car's curb weight to 2,908 lb (1,319 kg) entered production; this pack was also retrofitted to earlier cars (both battery pack designs were led and invented by John E. Waters under the Delco Remy organization). The NiMH batteries, rated at 77 amp-hours (26.4 kWh) at 343 volts, gave the cars a range of 160 miles (257 km) per charge, more than twice what the original Gen I cars could drive with.
It took the NiMH-equipped cars as much as eight hours to charge to full capacity (though an 80% charge could be achieved in between one and three hours). The Panasonic battery pack consisted of twenty-six 12 volt, 60 amp-hour lead-acid batteries holding 67.4 megajoules (18.7 kWh) of energy. The NiMH packs contained twenty-six 13.2 volt, 77 Ah nickel-metal hydride batteries which held 95.1 megajoules (26.4 kWh) of energy.[60]
Who Killed the Electric Car?
The demise of the EV1 is the subject of a 2006 documentary film entitled Who Killed the Electric Car?. Much of the film accounts for GM's efforts to demonstrate to California that there was no demand for their product and then to reclaim and dispose of every EV1 manufactured. A few vehicles were disabled and given to museums and universities, but almost all were found to have been crushed, or shredded using a special machine, as seen in the documentary.[73] However, apparently one or more EV1s did remain in private hands: director Francis Ford Coppola showed off his EV1 on "Jay Leno's Garage," though whether it is driveable is unclear.[74] GM responded to the film's claims, laying out several reasons why the EV1 was not commercially viable at the time.[citation needed] One theory discussed in the documentary is that the EV1 program was eliminated because it threatened the oil industry.
