View Large On Black Some people equate the terms bad and evil but there is a difference in the way these two terms are commonly used. As they are most commonly used, evil is the subset of all that is bad delineated from what is merely bad by a conscious intent to do harm. Something is bad if it causes harm but is only evil if some conscious being intended the harm. Evil carries a moral punch. The evil is in the intention. There are therefore bad things or events that are not definitively evil, at least as these two terms are commonly used. If a mudslide destroys a village and people die in their sleep, what has happened is very bad but not evil for it is merely an act of nature, but if somebody had a chance to warn them but didn’t because they wanted them to die, then their failure to warn them would be evil. The evil is in the intent to do harm or allow harm to be done.

 

The above photo is highly manipulated but is “based on reality”. The reality rests in the two photos that I took within thirty hours of each other. On the first day, I was driving around the beltline on the east side of my home town when I saw this vehicle with the sign, “CAUTION, DO NOT TAILGATE, SHOW GOAT SEMEN ON BOARD.” I quickly grabbed my camera and captured the image you see above, well, most of that image. There was another image that formed in my mind, an image based on but differing from the reality of the photograph that I had just taken. I wanted to make a point. The next day, I spotted a car that was rather ordinary, but it displayed what I wanted to complete the image that had formed in my mind, an Obama bumper sticker. I quickly photographed the back of that car.

 

After I downloaded the two images from my camera onto my computer, I changed the name of the company printed on the truck to “Superboy Semen”, the license plate number to 666-OWW and removed the owner’s phone number and other identifying information. Then I added the Obama’ 08 sign to the back. The Obama’08 sign was on the back a parked car to my right and the photo was taken from a different angle than the back of the goat semen truck which was to my left. I first changed the perspective (angle) of the Obama’08 bumper sticker to match what it would have been on the back of the truck and then resized it. Then I transferred it to the truck, erased the sticker part of it and changed the color and blur of the lettering to somewhat match the “CAUTION, DO NOT TAILGATE . . . ” sign immediately above it. Finally, after a few more minor changes, I photoshopped seven layers of the altered image and merged them into a final composite which you see above.

 

The result is a photo I can truthfully say is “based on the truth” because the truck really existed as did the Obama’08 sticker. Now it was not my intention to pick on Obama, I actually admire the guy, but to make this point. I don’t like underhanded, manipulated news reporting on any issue. How can I vote my conscious if I‘m being mislead? How can I know what or who to support if I am being fed partial lies? My purpose in posting this photo is to show graphically what members of JournoList did verbally and graphically on a regular basis to manipulate the news to support their candidates and causes. The big difference is that I am telling you what I did openly and out front. What they did, they did it in secret, never intending to tell their readers and listeners. Did they do evil? Did they intend to harm anybody? Well they harmed the voters right to know the whole truth and they conspired to harm opponents with spurious news stories that they released separately, but in unison. I’ve always admired (not) the ability of the liberal media to be outraged in lockstep. Now we have proof how they do it. One thing we can be sure, what these JournoList members did was a bad way to report the news. This is not a minor problem.

Manifestation à Paris le 29 Novembre 2007 contre la réforme de la carte judiciaire par Rachida Dati. Quittant l'Assemblée Nationale, les manifestants partent en "manif sauvage" (!) rejoindre leurs collègues place Vendôme, mais ils sont arrêtés rue de Castiglione par le cordon de police qui verrouille toute la place, et après quelques pourparlers, ils feront le tour jusqu'à la rue de la Paix pour rejoindre le reste de la manifestation.

Battery 519 on Fort Miles in Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes, DE.

 

View large on black

 

Fort Miles was an American military installation located on Cape Henlopen near Lewes, Delaware. Although funds to build the fort were approved in 1934, it was 1941 before the fort was constructed. It was built to defend Delaware Bay and River and to protect domestic shipping from enemy fire within the capes, particularly from the German surface fleet. The fort was completed days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Battery 118 (Smith) being declared operational on December 4th, 1941. The United States declaration of war on Japan compelled the U. S. Army to man the fort with the 261st CAC (Coastal Artillery Company), who days before were slated to leave. Fourteen vessels, including the USS Jacob Jones, a naval escort, were sunk off the coast of New Jersey during the first six months of 1942. Numerous batteries (ranging from 90mm guns up to 16 inch) were installed at the fort and a large mine field was laid in the waters off Lewes, Delaware in the following years, but the fort was to see no action during the conflict. The soldiers would receive the surrender of U-858, a German U-boat that was part of Operation Seawolf at the time of the German surrender to Allied forces in Europe. At its peak, Fort Miles was home to over 2,200 soldiers, men and women, including the 261st Coast Artillery, the 21st Coast Artillery, the 52nd Railway Artillery, the 198th Coast Artillery and the 113th Infantry (det). Most of Fort Miles was declared surplus in 1948 and 1949, but the Army continued to use portions of it through the early 1990s as a recreation area under the management of Fort Meade. In 1963 the US Navy took control of the southern end of Fort Miles including Batteries Smith and Herring to establish a SOSUS listening facility. "NAVFAC Lewes" would continue to operate as a top secret facility there until September 30, 1981. ....continued at Wikipedia

“By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.”—Genesis 2:2,3

 

"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”—Exodus 20:8-11

 

“Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.’"—Revelation 14:6,7

 

“Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest…”-- Hebrews 3:19-4:3

 

“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.”—Hebrews 4:9-11

 

“This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.”—Isaiah 30:15

 

The word “Sabbath” literally means “rest” and is a symbol of God’s relationship with us. This day speaks of how we cannot be saved by our own works, but must rest in the salvation of Jesus (Hebrews 3: 19-4:3, 4:9-11).

 

Because each previous painting says something about the Christian’s experience, and likewise the Sabbath embodies our entire Christian walk, I sought to incorporate elements from each painting into the Sabbath piece. Jesus is walking with Adam and Eve, who are made out of clay. They are unashamed because they are clothed in His light and righteousness. The cross reminds us of salvation, because salvation only comes through rest in Christ.

 

The original Sabbath was on the seventh day of the week, or Saturday, as kept by the Jewish people throughout history. The Sabbath was not only instituted for the Israelites, but for all of mankind, since it existed before the Jewish nation even began, at the creation of the world.

 

Resting on the seventh day is a sign of devotion to God, relying on His grace instead of works for salvation, and loyalty to Him as the Creator and Redeemer, for it is a memorial of creation and redemption.

Almost 2000 years ago, four writers recorded the life and teaching of Jesus. The first four books in the New Testament bear their names: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

 

Matthew was one of Jesus' twelve disciples. He offers a first-hand account of what Jesus said and did over a three-year period.

 

Luke was a physician who became a follower of Jesus after Jesus' life on earth. He spent time with many who were close to Jesus during His earthly ministry. Jesus' mother Mary gave Luke a mother's insight into the birth and early life of Jesus.

 

John wrote the last of the four histories. Of the twelve disciples, no one was closer to Jesus than John. He was the disciple who stood alone at the foot of the cross. Jesus demonstrated His great trust in John by committing to John the care of His mother Mary. At the time he wrote the last of the four histories, John was the only disciple of the original twelve who was still living.

 

Mark's record is the earliest of the four accounts. A young boy during the latter part of Jesus' life, Mark grew up to travel with Peter, one of Jesus' first followers and closest friends. Peter was a fisherman who followed Christ personally and traveled with Him for more than three years. We know from early church historians that Mark wrote what he learned from Peter as he preached about Jesus to all who would listen. Irenaeus wrote in A.D. 175, "Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, also transmitted to us in writing the things preached by Peter."

 

Of the four histories, Mark's Gospel is the simplest, shortest and most direct presentation of Jesus' life, written in the common language of the marketplace. None of the other Gospels devotes as great a portion of its content to Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. Mark does not mention Christ's genealogy or birth. Instead, he begins his Gospel by describing John the Baptist's preaching and baptism, followed by the baptism and temptation of Jesus. Then he leads into Jesus' public ministry in Galilee, giving special attention to His miraculous works that prove Him to be the Son of God.

 

As in all Peter's sermons about Jesus recorded in the Book of Acts, the presentation about Christ in the Gospel of Mark answers two simple but critical questions. It is divided almost perfectly in two equal halves, the first presenting who Jesus is and the second presenting why He gave His life.

 

From the earliest part of chapter 1 through the end of chapter 8, Mark records Jesus' miraculous works and repeatedly draws attention to the significance of who Jesus is. That is why in the first half of Mark's gospel the word "who" occurs so often.

 

In the first chapter, Mark clearly declares that Jesus is the Son of God1 Even demons gave this testimony: "I know who you are — the Holy One of God!" But, Jesus did not permit the demons to speak, "because they knew who he was."2

 

In chapter 2, the scribes said, "Who can forgive sins but God alone?"3 In chapter 4, after Jesus miraculously calmed the storm, the disciples said to one another, "Who then is this that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"4

 

The climax of Mark's presentation of who Jesus is in the first half of the book comes at the close of chapter 8: "And Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, 'Who do people say that I am?' And they told Him, saying, 'John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.' And He continued by questioning them, 'But who do you say that I am?' Peter answered and said to Him, 'You are the Christ.'"5

 

The second half of Mark's 16 chapters describe the final week of Jesus' life on earth — His suffering, death and resurrection. In a series of statements Jesus reveals the purpose for which He was sent into the world: "He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again."6 "He said to His disciples, 'The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.'"7 ''We are going up to Jerusalem,' he said, 'and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.'"8

 

Also contained in Mark are three dramatic "confessions." In the first verse, Mark himself confesses Jesus as the Son of God. 9 This is followed by Peter's confession in the middle of the book, "You are the Christ,"10 and builds to the Roman centurion's confession, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"11

 

As you read through Mark's record of the life and teachings of Jesus, you will discover that His life touches the very center of your life.

El lleó (Panthera leo) és un mamífer de la família dels felins. El lleó mascle és conegut per la seva crinera (melena) i pot arribar a pesar més de 250 kg. Les femelles son molt més petites i pesen devers 180 kg. Els lleons son carnívors i viuen en grups familiars que consisteixen en femelles emparentades, les seves cries dels dos sexes i un mascle sense llaços sanguinis que s'aparella amb les femelles adultes.

 

Les femelles s'ocupen de caçar mentre que els mascles es dediquen principalment a protegir els límits del seu territori. Els mascles són expulsats del grup en arribar a la maduresa.

 

Els lleons son polígams i la femella cria cada 18 o 26 mesos en estat natural; en captivitat, els lleons es reprodueixen una vegada a l'any. Després d'una gestació de 110 dies, la femella té entre un i quatre lleonets, que neixen amb un pèl espès i clapat. En captivitat, un lleó pot viure fins als 30 anys d'edat, però en llibertat la mitjana són 12 anys pels mascles i 16 per les femelles.

 

The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[2] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and the Bering land bridge and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.

 

Lions live for approximately 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.

 

The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50% over the past two decades in its African range;[1] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well-understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.

 

Visually, the male is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The head of the male lion is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been depicted extensively in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature.

www.darckr.com/username.php?username=9099757@N05 -------------- Illumination of the Brueckenkopfpark Jülich ------ Eine spektakuläre Licht- und Farbinszenierung verwandelt den Brückenkopf-Park in eine Welt voll zauberhafter Stimmungen: Wege glänzen in warmen Tönen, die Wallanlagen schimmern geheimnisvoll, Büsche und Baumwipfel heben sich hell gegen den dunklen Nachthimmel ab… Illuminationen aus Lichternetzen, Scheinwerfern und Projektionen lassen Bäume, Sträucher, Wiesen und Gebäude des Parks in wunderschönem Glanz erstrahlen und erschließen sich dem Betrachter manchmal erst bei genauerem Hinsehen. Scheinbar bekannte Ecken erscheinen auf einmal in ganz neuem Licht und Orte, die am Tag eher versteckt sind, kommen dank der Lichtinszenierung bei Einbruch der Dämmerung ganz groß heraus.

 

Sobald es dunkel wird, verwandeln LEDs, Strahler, Projektoren, Scheinwerfer, Lichterketten und Lampions das Parkgelände in eine phantasievolle Lichterlandschaft. Lichtkunstobjekte sorgen für eine stimmungsvolle, fast irreale Atmosphäre. Das muss man einfach gesehen haben! Nach einem romantischen Spaziergang durch die leuchtende Oase strahlen die Besucher mit der Illumination um die Wette.

 

Verantwortlich für die künstlerische Konzeption des „Herbstleuchtens im Park“ ist der Lichtkünstler Wolfgang Flammersfeld aus Unna, der in den letzten Jahren Parks, Höhlen, Stauseemauern und Schlösser spektakulär beleuchtet hat. Gemeinsam mit seinem Team freut er sich insbesondere auf die Illumination der Südbastion. Die vielen Gänge und Nischen bieten einem Lichtkünstler viele phantasievolle Möglichkeiten, mal hell und buntleuchtend, mal gruselig mit sich bewegenden Schatten. Man darf gespannt sein.

Investigators from Scotland Yard arrived in Islamabad on Jan. 4 to help the Pakinasti authorities on the investigation of the death of Benazir Bhutto. Rumours have surrounded the exact causes of her death, as a man shot her while she was standing in her car, waving through the sunroof, then a suicide bomber exploded himself. The oficial version concluded she banged her head against the sunroof due to the shock of the explosion, but other witnesses (including the person who washed her body) said she had been shot. Her party, the PPP, has called for a UN investigation but so far, president Musharraf has rejected this request and asked instead for the help of the UK.

 

On Jan.5, the Scotland Yard team together with the Pakistani officials went to Liaqat Bagh, the park in Rawalpindi in front of which the bombing occured, to be briefed on the events. The scene itself, however, has nothing to reveal in terms of material evidence as it's a busy street opened to traffic.

 

Here, an English investigator walks in the street in front of a Benazir Bhutto poster.

21:15 pm CEST -> Este fue mi primer intento con el Big Stopper, así que probé con varios tiempos de exposición. En total realicé 4 fotografías, a 15, 30, 121 y 180 segundos, las dos últimas en modo B y usando el cronómetro del iphone para cortar el disparo (sorprendentemente, sólo un error de 1 segundo). Ninguna de las 4 tomas resultó excesivamente satisfactoria, o quemado en cielo o subexposición para el agua; el mejor cielo a 1/15 ó 1/30, la mejor superficie de agua a 180 s; el sol todavía estaba alto y cuando salía de entre unas nubes bajas, pegaba fuerte. Decidí probar un HDR combinando las 4 y este es el resultado, que me parece más similar a lo que veía en ese momento que cualquiera de las tomas individuales. Pienso que sería difícil asegurar que se trata de un HDR, de hecho tenía varias copias HDR y no HDR preparadas el día anterior y sin fijarme en el nombre de archivo no sabía cual pertenecía a cada tipo. Este es el encuadre original. Consideré dos recortes, uno a 50:50 y otro, con menos cielo, 66:33. Al final me quedo con el original que conserva todo el cielo y deja bastante centrados los islotes del fondo. Viento, olas fuertes y spray por todas partes; me arrepiento de no haber tirado una a velocidad alta.

------------------------------

21:15 pm CEST -> This was my frst attempt with the Big Stopper, so that I decided to try several exposure times. I did four shots at 15, 30, 121 y 180 seconds, but I didn't feel happy with none of these: dark grass and sea surface at 1/15 and 1/30 (though these got the best exposure for sky and clouds) and bad performance in mode B (121 and 180 seconds) for sky and clouds (but sea surface was fine in these shots). Therefore I tried with HDR. I used a standard 'fused' option in Photomatix that provided this result. I think this resembles the eye view better than any of the single shots. It was too early and the sun was a bit high, so there was a rather hard light. I also viewed two crops, one at 50:50 (sky:ground) and the other one at 33:66, but finally I was more happy with the original framing (better sky color in the upper part and a view more focussed on the islets). A lot of wind, moving water, big waves, and spray out there. Now I regret not having taken a picture at a higher shutter speed.

My librarian.net mail is a lost cause, but I need a way to be contacted via librarian.net. I have an address that librarian.net email goes to and I filter it with procmail so that it goes into one folder. I use WordPress. I dislike all the WordPress solutions I have found so far including Contact Form ][ and Secure Form Mailer.

 

I'd like something that I can style to fit my themes (often more than one of them) and one where I could set a custom subject line. I'd like it to not attract spambots and I'd like it to not have a CAPCHA if at all possible.

 

I'm not sure where to go from here. Suggestions?

From ancient times the lotus has been a divine symbol in Asian traditions representing the virtues of sexual purity and non-attachment.

 

Hindus revere it with the divinities Vishnu and Lakshmi often portrayed on a pink lotus in iconography. In the representation of Vishnu as Padmanabha (Lotus navel), a lotus issues from his navel with Brahma on it. Goddess Sarasvati is portrayed on a white-colored lotus.

 

Often used as an example of divine beauty, Vishnu is often described as the 'Lotus-Eyed One'. Its unfolding petals suggest the expansion of the soul. The growth of its pure beauty from the mud of its origin holds a benign spiritual promise. In Hindu iconography, other deities, like Ganga and Ganesha are often depicted with lotus flowers as their seats.

 

The lotus plant is cited extensively within Puranic and Vedic literature, for example:

 

One who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme Lord, is unaffected by sinful action, as the lotus is untouched by water.

— Bhagavad Gita 5.10:

 

In Chinese culture Confucian scholar Zhou Dunyi wrote - "I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained".

 

Most deities of Asian religions are depicted as seated on a lotus flower. In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech, and mind as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. According to legend, Gautama Buddha was born with the ability to walk, and lotus flowers bloomed everywhere he stepped.

 

In the classical written and oral literature of many Asian cultures the lotus is present in figurative form, representing elegance, beauty, perfection, purity and grace, being often used in poems and songs as an allegory for ideal feminine attributes. In Sanskrit the word lotus has many synonyms. Since the lotus thrives in water - 'ja' (denoting birth) is added to synonyms of water to derive some synonyms for the lotus, like ambuja (ambu= water + ja=born of), neerja (neera=water + ja= born of), pankaj, pankaja, kamal, kamala, kunala, aravind, arvind, nalin,nalini and saroja and names derived from the lotus, like padmavati (possessing lotuses) or padmini (full of lotuses). These names and derived versions are often used to name girls, and to a lesser extent boys, in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, as well as in many other countries influenced by Indic culture, like Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Laos.

Papaver rhoeas (Klatschmohn, Corn Poppy, Red Poppy)

 

Mohn (Papaver) ist eine Gattung aus der Familie der Mohngewächse (Papaveraceae) mit weltweit zwischen 50 und 120 Arten.

 

Die leuchtend roten Blüten des in Deutschland wilden Klatschmohns (Papaver rhoeas) blühen ab Ende Mai und kennzeichnen den Beginn des Frühsommers.

 

Der genaue Ursprung des Klatschmohns ist nicht bekannt, jedoch wird Eurasien bzw. Nordafrika (wo heute noch aus der Blüte Schminke auf traditionelle Weise hergestellt wird) angenommen und damit Gebiete, in denen schon lange Ackerbau betrieben wird. Mit dem Ackerbau hat sich auch der Klatschmohn über die ganze Welt verbreitet (Dauerfrostzone bis Subtropen) bevorzugt jedoch die nördliche gemäßigte Zone. Mit dieser Ausbreitungsstrategie gehört der Klatschmohn zu den so genannten hemerochoren Pflanzen, also den Pflanzen, die durch menschliches Zutun Gebiete besiedeln, in denen sie nicht ursprünglich beheimatet sind und die sie ohne die bewusste oder unbewusste Verbreitung durch den Menschen nicht erreicht hätten. Typischer Verbreitungsweg für den Klatschmohn ist die Verunreinigung von Getreidesaatgut durch Klatschmohn (so genannte Speirochorie).

Ecocentro Danaus (<-- video) is located a couple miles east of La Fortuna Costa Rica. It's a fairly small reserve, 600 meters of walking trails, but boy, do they pack a LOT in such a small area. Danaus was created about 13 years ago when some forward thinking people decided it might be better to grow life than cut it down. Danaus is like a mini oasis since it's completely surrounded by pasture and cattle land. Here's what Ecocentro Danaus says about itself: 'Ecocentro Danaus is an ecological reserve that preserves a natural regenerating secondary forest. Many different biological processes take place here and there is a great biodiversity of flora and fauna in its natural state.'Danaus is worth a look if your in the La Fortuna area and you need something to do for a couple hours.

الحقوقية الليبية نيفين الباح لـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة " : حقوق المرأة الليبية تراجعت بفعل النزاع المسلح وغياب القانون

wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=25260

حاورتها: خلود الفلاح - ليبيا - خاص بـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة "

نيفين الباح حقوقية ليبية، ترى أن الانتهاكات التي تتعرض لها المرأة الليبية كالتهجير والنزوح واستمرار النزاع المسلح أضعف مشاركة المرأة السياسية في صنع القرار. كما وصفت الخطاب الإعلامي الليبي بانه خطاب كراهية وعنف وهو ما سبب في المزيد من التعقيد في الأزمة الليبية.

من الداعمين لحق المرأة في صنع القرار والمشاركة الفعالة في الحياة السياسية.

" وكالة أخبار المرأة " حاورت نيفين الباح وإستعرضت معها عن قضايا المصالحة الوطنية ومسودة الدستور القادم فيما يخص العدالة الانتقالية والاعتداءات التي تعرضت لها الحقوقيات الليبيات.

* احتفل العالم باليوم الدولي للمرأة هذا العام تحت شعار "أنا جيل المساواة: إعمال حقوق المرأة."، مقدما أرقام ومحاذير حول خوف النساء من الانتقام والوصم بالعار وانعدام المساواة مع الرجل. كيف ترين هذا الواقع؟

- حماية المرأة بموجب الدساتير والقوانين وحدها لا تكفي في ظل انتشار الفوضى والحروب، بل يجب التوعية والإرشاد بحقوقها وطرق التعامل معها مع آليات تنفيذ القانون الذي وفر لها الحماية سواء تحدثنا عن القوانين وآليات تنفيذه وسرعة الاستجابة أو الثقافة المجتمعية والعراقيل التي تواجه تقدمها. لا يمكن أن نحقق أي تقدم دون إرادة مجتمعية ومنظومة بيئية وثقافية وقانونية متكاملة قابلة للتغيير وإشراك الآخر.

تشهد مجتمعاتنا مراحل انتقالية استمرت معها فوضى مجتمعية ونزاع مسلح وانهيار كبير في المنظومة الأخلاقية والاقتصادية كما لا ننسى تعاطي المخدرات وسهولة الحصول عليها وانتشارها وقوة تأثيرها ومدى خطورتها على المرأة وظهور جماعات وايديولوجيات تكرس في مشاريعها الحد من تحرر المرأة وتقدمها مما ادى إلى حدوث الكثير من الجرائم الجسيمة في حق المرأة ووقوع الانتهاكات. فمثلا على الصعيد الوطني، سجلت الكثير من الانتهاكات والجرائم في حق المرأة الليبية نتاج بروزها ومشاركتها السياسية والحقوقية والمدنية وكذلك النجاح الذي حققته في مجال الإعلام، مما أدى إلى تصعيد العنف ضدها، ولم يتوقف الأمر عند الحياة العامة بل تتعرض المرأة بصفة عامة بعيدا عن السياسة إلى عدة انتهاكات من بينها الخطف، الاحتجاز والاغتصاب والتهديد بالقتل والتشهير ومحاولة النيل من سمعتها لأسباب خارج دائرة السياسة، حتى يصل الأمر أحيانا إلى قتلها. وعلى سبيل المثال لا الحصر تعرضت الكثير من الناشطات البارزات السياسيات والحقوقيات إلى جرائم على مدى السنوات التسع الماضية، من بينها انتهاكات وجدت صدى لدى الرأي العام الوطني والدولي كاغتيال المحامية والناشطة الحقوقية سلوى بوقعيقيص عام 2014 ، واغتيال عضو المؤتمر الوطني بمدينة درنة السيدة فريحة البركاوي عام 2014، ومقتل الصحفية نصيب كرفانة عام 2014 ، وكذلك الناشطة المدنية التنويرية انتصار الحصائري عام 2015 ، واختفاء عضو البرلمان الليبي في ظروف غامضة عام 2019 . كما تعرضت وافدات يحملن الجنسية السودانية لجرائم قتل عام 2019 ، وكذلك خطف الشابة وصال من بيتها العام 2020. بالإضافة إلى وقوع الانتهاكات داخل بعض مراكز الهجرة غير النظامية. ولعل التقارير الدولية والمحلية قد سبق وأن ادانت الكثير من الانتهاكات على المستوى الوطني الليبي التي طالت الكثير من النساء.

كما توجد جرائم لا تستطيع وسائل الإعلام ومواقع التواصل الاجتماعي تسليط الضوء عليها تقع في دوائر المجتمعات الصغيرة والمناطق النائية التي يصعب اكتشافها أو التعرف عليها نتيجة الطبيعة المناطقية أو القبلية. هنا لا يمكن ملاحقة مرتكبيها خصوصا عندما يرتكبها أقارب من الدرجة الأولى يتم التستر عن الجاني واخفاء الأدلة الجنائية خاصة إذا تعلق الأمر بالوصم بالعار أو محاولة الخروج من صندوق الثقافة الذكورية والسلطة الابوية.

* برأيك هل هذه الأسباب وراء ضعف المشاركة السياسية للمرأة الليبية؟

- بالتأكيد تسببت في تدهور مركز المرأة وتراجعها عن المشاركة في الحياة السياسية بالإضافة إلى عوامل أخرى من أبرزها استمرار حالة النزاع المسلح والتغيير الديمغرافي وعدم الاستقرار واستمرار النزوح والتهجير، وكذلك تدهور المستوى الصحي والتعليمي والاقتصادي وضعف أجهزة القطاع الأمني وعدم قدرتها على حماية المرأة والمواطن بصفة عامة. مع تدفق السلاح وتواجد المليشيات والعصابات المسلحة كل ذلك تسبب في ضعف مشاركة النساء في صنع القرار وإبداء الرأي.

* مع ضعف أداء مؤسسات المجتمع المدني، في مجال المصالحة. هل يمكن للقبيلة أن تكون بديلا عن المجتمع المدني؟

- في بداية التجربة بعد ثورة فبراير 2011 ، عول الكثير من السياسيين والحقوقيين على دور القبيلة الاجتماعي وضرورة اشراكها في عملية المصالحة الوطنية ولكن بعد خوض التجربة تبين عدم إمكانية ذلك، لعدة أسباب منها: أن النزاعات لم تتوقف بإسقاط القذافي ومنظومته. بل أصبحت القبيلة جزءا من الصراع فعندما يبرز أحد ابناءها أو ينشط سياسيا تجدها تصطف بجانبه فهي تنحاز دائما لأبنائها وأن تعارضت مع المصلحة العليا للدولة الليبية. كما لا توجد أية تحديثات أو مدخلات تتماشي مع النظام العالمي الجديد والمجتمع الدولي فلم تستطع القبيلة أن تواكب كل هذه المتغيرات وسرعة التطور، فحدث الكثير من الانتهاكات بسبب القبيلة من بينها قطع المياه والكهرباء على المدن الكبرى والحقول النفطية في محاولة للمساومة بها مقابل بعض ابناءها كما شكلت القبيلة مظلة للمجرمين الفارين من العدالة في الكثير من القضايا ووفرت الحماية للكثير من الارهابيين.

لا أرى أن دور المجتمع المدني ضعيف بل العكس تماما، فقد شكل القوة الناعمة التي احدثت التغيير والتأثير في الكثير من المجالات في ظل بيئة محفوفة بالمخاطر.

برزت الأنشطة وظهرت الشراكات مع القطاعات الوطنية والدولية وعمل أغلب أفراد ومنظمات المجتمع المدني على ملف المصالحة من سنة 2011، إلا أن ارتفاع صوت البنادق همش الرصيد الوفير للمجتمع المدني وما يقوم به من أعمال احدثت تغييرا فعليا في بعض القطاعات والمفاهيم والإدارات سواء بالتدريب أو الورش أو الاستشارات، وكذلك الكم الهائل من مدخلات المعلومات ولا ننسى ما قدمته مفوضية المجتمع المدني حتى الآن. بالتالي لا يمكن أن نعتبر دور المجتمع المدني ضعيفا بل هو الدور الفعلي للمرحلة القادمة على المستوى الوطني والدولي.

* برأيك ما شكل المصالحة التي تحتاجها ليبيا في ظل هذا الوضع المعقد؟

- أرى أنه لابد من التكريس لدور المجتمع المدني وما يحدثه من أثر في مفهوم المصالحة وشكلها خصوصا وأن الجرح غائر بين المواطنين فكل الأطراف تعرضت للأذى فلا يمكن الحديث عن مشروع موحد في ظل هذه الظروف. وهنا يلعب المجتمع المدني دور مهم في بناء جسور السلام والحد من خطاب الكراهية والتوعية بمفهوم تقبل الآخر والانفتاح على تجارب المجتمعات التي مرت بمراحل انتقالية صعبة من نزاعات مسلحة وحروب أهلية نجحت في اجتيازها.

* هل أسهمت وسائل الاعلام الليبية برأيك في حل الأزمة السياسية والعسكرية أم في تعقيدها؟

- على العكس تماما ساهمت وسائل الإعلام في تأزم الأوضاع بتأجيج الرأي العام ومحاولة تخوين الطرف الآخر وملاحقة الأطراف المحايدة والتوعد بالملاحقة لكل من يخالفها الرأي. في حين وصل الأمر إلى تأسيس خطاب الكراهية الذي يدعو إلى التحريض. فمثلا هناك دعوة إلى مقاطعة بعض السلع والمنتجات سواء المحلية أو المستوردة للتأثير على المواطن. وهذا أدى إلى تأزم المشهد السياسي والعسكري.

* الكوتا المقررة بالمادة 184 بنسبة 25%، لماذا لا يجب رؤيتها كإنجاز حقيقي للمرأة الليبية؟

- تتفاوت الآراء في ذلك. البعض أعتبر الكوتا انجاز لحماية حق المرأة في الانتخاب والبعض الآخر اعتبرها نوع من الألتفاف والتقييد بنسبة مشاركتها في الحياة السياسية ومخالفة لمفهوم المساواة ومحاولة اظهارها على أنها فئة مجتمعية تحتاج لحماية حقوقها. واختصار المشاركة في الحياة السياسية على فئات معينة تحتاج دائما لدعم ولا تستطيع أن تخوض تجربة منافسة منفردة ضد الرجل. رغم أن معظم دساتير العالم جاءت تنادي بالمساواة في عمومها.

وبالنسبة لي الكوتا (تمييز ايجابي) في ظل ما نعيش من ظروف عارضة وأخرى مستمرة تستوجب الحد الأدنى من الحماية. لا نستطيع أن ننسف كل المجهودات النسوية لمجرد المطالبة بمساواة نظرية لا نتمكن من تحقيقها مرة واحدة بل تحتاج لمجهود كفاح ووقت طويل.

* في العام 2017 تم استحداث وحدة خاصة بدعم المرأة في المفوضية العليا للانتخابات تحت مسمى (وحدة دعم المرأة)، هل هذا التخصيص يعد سببا في تدني مشاركة المرأة في العملية السياسية؟

- لا أعرف القصد الحقيقي وراء استحداث وحدة تمكين المرأة وبمتابعة شروط تأسيسها اعترضت الكثير من النساء على بعض هذه الشروط التي كان من بينها درجة علمية عليا، متناسية الخبرات والمشاركات والنشاطات وحضور بعض النساء في المحافل الدولية، حيث تجاهلت الاستفادة من كل هذه الخبرات.

السؤال الذي يبقي مفتًوحا ولا يمكن الإجابة عليه هو: هل استطاعت وحدة تمكين المرأة إحداث أثر وتغيير حقيقي في وضع المرأة؟ الإجابة أنها اختزلت في فئة معينة تسببت في عرقلة الكثير من المناضلات النساء اللاتي لهن القدرة الفعلية على المشاركة بالعملية السياسية وصناعة القُرار. نحتاج إلى الوقت والجهد للتمكين، وأرى شخصيا أنه ليس بالضرورة من خلال وحدة التمكين. هناك مجهودات فردية وأخرى جماعية منظمة أفضل بكثير من استحداث وحدة تمكين تكون تابعة لأهواء السياسة وتنفذ إرادتها.

* يرى الكثير أن تأخر العدالة الانتقالية في ليبيا بسبب الفكر القبلي خاصة وأن قانون العدالة الانتقالية حسب المادة 81 في مسودة الدستور الصادرة عام 2017، يحتاج إلى مراجعة ومزيد من التوضيح. لماذا برأيك؟

- فيما يتعلق بالعدالة الانتقالية لم يكن الفكر القبلي عارض إذ لم تكن المطالبة بها مطلبا شعبيا أو وطنيا حينها، إلى جانب استمرار المرحلة الانتقالية وحالة النزاع المسلح والأحداث المتعاقبة، وانحراف المسار الديمقراطي، وجاءت غير شاملة فكرة جبر الضرر، ولجنة تقصي الحقائق لم تمثل فيها المرأة والشباب وباقي الفئات، كما أنها كانت حق أريد بها باطل حينها فقد استهدفت بعض الشخصيات لمنعهم من المشاركة في صنع القرار واستبعادهم بشكل مجحف.

رغم حجم الانتهاكات الذي خلفه النظام الجماهيري إلا أن الانتهاكات اللاحقة واستيفاء الحق بالذات والجرائم المستمرة لم تستطيع السلطات الحد منها أو القدرة على معالجتها، أضف إلى عدم الاستقرار، وعدم شمولها على اصلاح وتطوير المؤسسات خصوصا الأمنية التي كانت سببا من أسباب الانتفاضة، وتكريسها لمفهوم الإفلات من العقاب بصورة علنية، وغياب مبدأ إشراك الضحايا، وغياب الإرادة الوطنية المحايدة، ثم جاء بعد ذلك كله، قرار العفو من مجلس النواب الليبي الذى نسف كل المجهودات لاعتبارات سياسة وليست وطنية، ما تسبب في الإفلات من العقاب، وكردة فعل بين الأقطاب المتصارعة، وبذلك أهدرت الكثير من الحقوق بسب الصراع السياسي وردود الأفعال غير المسؤولة من صُناع القرار.

أما فيما يخص مسودة الدستور، فقد جاءت دسترة العدالة الانتقالية أسوة بمناهج الدساتير الحديثة المتبعة في بعض دول الجوار بتوصيات الأمم المتحدة ولكن رغم المحاولات والوقوف على تجارب بعض الدول إلا أنها كضمان للحقوق وتكريس العدل وغاب عنها توفير الضمانات لتحقيقها أو التدابير الوقائية الرادعة لعدم تكرار ارتكاب الجرائم، ولم تتطرق إلى اصلاح وتطوير المؤسسات وأن اشارت له، الأمر الذي نحتاج معه إلى توضيح مفصل وأكثر دقة وإلا سيكون النص المتعلق بالعدالة الانتقالية مبهم وغير واضح.

FERNANDO AMORSOLO (1892 - 1972)

Evening Meal on a Raft House

 

Estimate: PHP 7,500,000 - 8,000,000

 

Signed and dated '1933' (lower right)

Oil on canvas

38 x 46 cm (15 x 18 in)

 

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued and signed by Sylvia Amorsolo-Lazo

 

National Artist Fernando Amorsolo’s impressive and extensive oeuvre single-handedly reshaped the standards of genre painting in the country — his techniques and utilization of the academic style becoming the norm during and long after his lifetime.

 

Having temporarily lived in the coastal town of Daet in his childhood served as early exposure to the delights of rural living for the young Amorsolo, which clearly manifests in the lot on offer. Painted in 1933, during the master’s so-called “Golden Era,” Evening Meal on a Raft House is a rare and captivating example of the artist’s idyllic figurative style showing subject matter that hearkens back to simpler and more peaceful times. Central to the painting is a family of four settling down for their evening meal in the light of the setting sun. They reside in a bamboo raft house, where a fishing boat can be seen anchored on the far left, thus clueing the viewer that Amorsolo is depicting a family of fisherfolk. What makes this artwork so collectible is its departure from usual motifs — here, instead of daytime scenes featuring farmers toiling in the fields and women bathing or washing clothes in the riverside, the artist instead chooses to illustrate fishermen winding down to rest with their families at the end of the day. The influence of Impressionism and the artist’s mastery over oil painting is clearly exhibited in the carefully painted dapples of light shining off the water, and in the distorted reflection of the hut in the ocean. The romantic atmosphere that would dominate his later works is evidenced by the gentle hues of the cloudy sky — rendered in a soft hued symphony of orange, blue, and white — amplifying the dream-like calm that settles over the scene, and embodying the innocent charm and delicacy that makes Amorsolo’s works so embedded in the Filipino consciousness and beloved by collectors the world over.
