Sores on the female genitals shows riots also occurred in Surakarta. And also as a symbol of many victims of rape in the May 1998 riots, it was very hurtful and embarrassing.

You can't miss the yellow rape fields at present. The yellows go well with the green fields and even better with the trees in blossom. Spring! This is along the A604 on the way to Haverhill, a few miles to the SE of Cambridge.
Rapeseed (Brassica napus), also known as rape, oilseed rape, rapa, rapaseed and (in the case of one particular group of cultivars) canola, is a bright yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family).
Rapeseed is grown for the production of animal feed, vegetable oil for human consumption, and biodiesel. Leading producers include the European Union, Canada, the United States, Australia, China and India.
Processing of rapeseed for oil production provides rapeseed animal meal as a by-product. The by-product is a high-protein animal feed, competitive with soya. The feed is mostly employed for cattle feeding, but also for pigs and chickens (though less valuable for these).
Apologies for posting this but there are interesting things to write about here. This unfortunate female Mallard had attracted the unwanted attention of three males. Mallards are highly unusual in this kind of mating system as it is usually a highly ritualised courtship, and even in Mallards only descends to this when you get groups of hormone-charged unpaired males.
Most birds mate by pressing their cloacal openings together but about 3% of birds have penises, and this includes ducks. A drake Mallard's penis shrinks to about a tenth of its size for most of the year but regrows for the mating season. It is stored inside the body, only bursting out for copulation. Moreover, it is corkscrew-shaped, and some species, are equipped with brushes for removing the sperms of previous matings. But the female reproductive tract is also a complicated shape, and can be the opposite spiral to the male's penis. Many duck species including Mallard have a skewed sex ratio in favour of males, meaning that females can afford to be choosy who they mate with. But a skewed sex ratio also means that many mediocre males would not get to mate. So they have evolved a penis that would enable them to force a female to mate. This skewed sex ratio also explains the promiscuous gang rape system illustrated here. But females ducks have fought back evolutionarily speaking, with increasingly complex reproductive tracts to prevent males from fertilising their eggs by force with their pop-up corkscrew penises. Such as the "thread" on their reproductive tract spiralling in the opposite direction to the male's penis. The female reproductive tract also has blind alleys where unwanted sperm can end up. This type of evolutionary arms race between the sexes is known as antagonistic co-evolution. Females can tighten their reproductive tract to make it difficult for sperm to reach the eggs. As many as 35% of Mallard copulations are forced, yet these only result in 3 to 5% of the offspring. If she wants to mate she can relax the tract and allow his sperm passage. Because the cloaca is also the excretory tract (Cloaca is Latin for sewer), raped females can defecate right after forced sex and eject sperm. Occasionally females will drown during such encounters but the rampant males will continue trying to mate even after her death. I have also heard of cases where male Mallards have attempted to mate with males who have died.
I apologise for the crude title too. I was going to call it "Sabine's Duck?" with reference to the rape of the Sabine Women in Roman Mythology, and a nod to Sabine's Gull, but I thought it might be a bit too obscure. And one final thing: When Linnaeus first gave Mallard a scientific name in 1758, he mistakenly named both the male and female as different species. He called the male Anas boschas and the female Anas platyrhynchos, and it was the male name that was adopted for 150 years, until 1906 when Einar Lönnberg noticed that the female name appeared two pages earlier in the text of Systema Naturae (10th edition). There is a strict law of precedence in taxonomy and the earliest name prevails, so Anas boschas was ditched in favour of Anas platyrhynchos (which means broad-billed duck).

This is a collage that I did with coloured tissue papers, panties and acrylics on paper. My reason for doing it has to be obvious. Somehow, we have to find a way to stop this dreadful and barbaric behavior, no-one in the world should have to be subjected to rape!!!
Ich wünsche allen Besuchern und Kontakten einen schönen 1. Mai!!!

The Rape of Persephone (Italian: Ratto di Proserpina) is a large Baroque marble sculptural group by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, executed between 1621 and 1622.
Bernini was only 23 years old at its completion. It depicts the abduction of Persephone, who is seized and taken to the underworld by the god Hades.
