Among the exhibits at the Custom House Museum in Key West is this display of clothing and memorabilia from the Civil War era.
Two informational placards provide details on Key West history during the Civil War:
The Civil War
No battles were fought in or around Key West, but the impact of the war strained the social and economic structure of the city. As a southern town in Union hands, resentment and dissent became commonplace and families were split over philosophical issues. Many of the able-bodied men slipped away, under cover of darkness, to join the Confederate cause.
In January of 1863, Major General D. Hunter, of the Union Army, ordered that all families with immediate members in the Rebel employ be deported to a camp in South Carolina. This included many staunch Union supporters, both men and women, who were required to sell all their holdings.
As the first 600 deportees began to board the ship bound for this dreadful fate, the order was suspended by the return of the Key West's commanding officer, Colonel Good. The relieved and overjoyed citizens presented the Colonel with a gold-hilted sword to show their appreciation in a ceremony held in the street, directly in front of the Custom House.
Rebellious Caroline Lowe
During Key West's occupation by Union troops, martial law was instituted. Any outward signs of Confederate support were strictly forbidden and even freedom of speech was severely curtailed.
But the resident Rebel sympathizers still insisted on showing their pluck. During Union Army maneuvers on Duval Street, Caroline Lowe could not resist climbing to the top of her house and waving the Confederate flag from the widow's walk. Immediately, the sergeant ordered her to stop and his troops to confiscate the offensive flag. Inside, Caroline was standing serenely at the top of the stairs. The house was searched, but there was no sign of the flag. The sergeant chose not to search under her petticoat, knowing it would create a huge furor. So his men left, and as they continued their march, they ignored the fact that Mrs. Lowe was once again waving the Confederate flag from the widow's walk. Caroline repeated this practice whenever she deemed it auspicious.
In 1957, the Lowe House was badly damaged by fire. During demolition, it was discovered that the newel post at the top of the stairs had a secret compartment, just big enough to hide a flag.
Just look at my life! Should I be feeling gratitude, or have I been ripped off? Is the glass half-empty or half-full?I can complain that rose bushes have thorns, or I can be grateful that some thorn bushes have roses.
At the purely intellectual or “scientific” level, these two attitudes are equivalent. But in real life, it makes a huge difference which we choose.
When the image we hold of ourselves in relationship to the world portrays us as a victim, the resulting sense of helplessness is transmitted through the entire system. The physical consequence of this can be failure or breakdown in an organ or organ system.
Whether we feel gratitude and fullness, or loss, deprivation, and resentment, a corresponding internal chemical state is created. This state, in turn, generates characteristic behaviors – health or disease, empowerment/powerlessness, fulfillment/dissatisfaction, success/failure.
In my medical practice (mind/body medicine), the importance of gratitude is strikingly clear in a psychophysiological way – grateful people heal faster; they are able to eliminate harmful behaviors from their lives with greater ease; they are happier.
The way in which we see the world shapes our responses to the challenges life presents us. A sense of gratitude empowers us to choose wisely … how we feel, what we say, what we believe, what we do.
How preposterous for us, who are richer and consume 10 times the resources than 95 percent of the world’s people, who routinely live 25 years longer than our great-grandparents, who bask in personal freedom and potential, to focus on the “half-empty.”
Gratitude leads us to see what is available, what can develop. After all, there is nothing to work with in the empty part of the glass. Without the attitude of gratitude, there results a feeling of deprivation.
Smokers, drinkers, and drug abusers – whose quality of life continuously deteriorates – are unable to enact the apparently simple choices that they say and truly believe they want to make. Such people are in an involuntary state of denial – a denial of the richness that is within them.
Consciousness of the fullness of Self would make their compulsions pale by comparison. Without the sense of who you really are, it is difficult to discern the true worth of anything that takes place in your life except at the immediate and transitory level of instant gratification.
When we feel grateful, we interact with other people from our fullness; they feel appreciated and are attracted by our energy. Resentment, bitterness, and victimhood tends to repel people, and we experience less support from others.
Similarly, when our lack of gratitude leads to helplessness and disease, we feel “ripped off’ that our health is going downhill while others are out enjoying themselves. In the field of psychoneuroimmunology, we are now certain that emotions, beliefs, and interpretations (our map of the world) have a profound effect upon the body’s functioning, including whether we become ill or resist disease.
No matter what the challenges or crises in our life may be, if we feel helpless about them, we are much more likely to become ill. The state of mind that we call gratitude is not inborn, in my opinion, but something we learn.
Gratitude has to do with feeling full, complete, adequate – we have everything we need and deserve; we approach the world with a sense of value. It is the experience of the range of fulfillment that is possible that leads to a capacity for gratitude. Without gratitude, the tendency is to feel incomplete, cheated, deficient – in a word, helpless.
If you were not fortunate enough to have been taught the attitude of gratitude as a child, you may, from time to time, feel yourself slipping into despair, feeling resentful and unblessed. That still happens to me sometimes and, when it does, I simply remember my reasons for doing the things I do, my personal life mission and vision, with gratitude. It may take a little while, but with inner focus and imagery, my attitude always comes around. After all, just like you, “I am what I think.”

Tomba Famiglia Ribaudo
Love will take us apart - Joy Division
When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
LIBYA Benghazi -- 14 May 2011 -- Since the Libyan revolution began in many of the liberated towns public artwork dipicting Colonal Gaddafi has began to appear like this image in Benghazi Libya. The images - which are a result of pent-up resentment against the hated Libyan dictator - are a ruthless satire of the bloody and violent regime which Col Gaddafi has used to repress the Libyan people for the past few decades -- Picture by Rory Mulholland | Lightroom Photos *Copy also available
Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal (Our Lady Cathedral) - construction began in 1352. (though a a number of churches have existed at this site since the 800's)
This cathedral is notable for a number of reasons- it has the tallest spire in "Benelux". From the 1450's to the 1650's it hosted a number of the most influential composers of their time, including particularly Johannes Ockeghem, Jacob Obtrecht, and John Bull.
Though the interior was plundered twice (during the Iconoclastic Fury of 1566, and during the French Revolution). Still, the cathedral is home to a number of paintings of Peter Paul Rubens, who made his home in Antwerp.
And it rings the most sublime of bells. By day, an amazing sound from on high, an ethereal singing above the afternoon bustle. By evening, the carillon echoes off the buildings of the empty Grote Markt and the small surrounding streets-. Music resonating from all sides- at times, a high tinkling and at others, a low sonorous gong.
Antwerp/Antwerpen/Anvers
Belgium/Belgie/Belgique
March 9, 2011
Antwerp is a most cosmopolitan city. There seems to be a certain indescribable ennui throughout much of Belgium- but not in Antwerp. There is a causal sophistication here. Unlike Bruges, which is stuck in time, and Brussels which seems to have lost its identity in its role on the international stage, Antwerp is vibrating through another golden age.
The area has been settled at least since the Roman era, but really rose to prominence in the 1500’s after the Zwin River silted up and Bruges’ economy collapsed. If Bruges was an incredibly prosperous port whose realm of trade stretched throughout medieval Europe and the Levant, Antwerp was a port of intercontinental scale- one of the first such ports in the world. As part of the Spanish Empire, it brought in goods from as far as the Americas and Asia. Some sources say that in the early 1500’s, Antwerp saw up to 40 percent of global trade, and was one of the largest cities in Europe.
This, of course, is where the city’s cosmopolitanism originated. Merchants from across Europe set up shop in Antwerp, and the spirit of tolerance inherent in most port cities attracted a large population of orthodox Jews. And, as always, wealth attracted the arts, including some of the most prominent painters and musicians of the Northern Renaissance.
Despite this boom period, there was a great underlying tension rising. The Low Countries became swept up by the Protestant Reformation and by a growing resentment of Spanish rule. Violence erupted in 1566, with the Iconoclastic Fury, in which Protestants ransacked towns and churches, destroying Catholic icons. A reason why many Medieval churches in Belgium have interiors adorned in the style of the Renaissance and the Baroque is that so many of the items made before 1566 were lost. The fiercely Catholic Spanish came down hard, and thus began the Eighty Years’ War which resulted in the independence of the Netherlands.
As a city at the heart of the Dutch Revolt, Antwerp suffered mightily. In November of 1576, Spanish troops sacked the city, plundering property and killing 6,000 residents - an event which became known the “Spanish Fury”. In 1585, Spain took full control of Antwerp and expelled the Protestants to the north. The population was reduced by half, and Amsterdam became the new center of international trade.
After this, the city fell into a long period of decline and was revived only in the early 19th century, when Napoleon invested in upgrading the long-neglected port (which the British attempted to capture in a disastrous campaign). In the 1890’s, Antwerp hosted a World’s Fair, and in 1920, the Olympics. The city was heavily damaged by German bombs in WW2, but today is on the rise once again- today ranking among the top 20 of busiest ports in the world- certainly larger than the port of New York. Standing on the bank of the River Scheldt, one can see shipping facilities stretching to beyond the horizon.
And once again, Antwerp is a cosmopolitan place. There is a diverse immigrant community, the arts have returned, and the city is taking a seat among the most prominent fashion centers of the world. 80 percent of the world’s rough diamonds pass through its diamond markets (unfortunately though, this includes many blood diamonds).
In short, there is a lot of action here. By day, the streets bustle with a certain vibrancy and lust for life. By night, bars and restaurants host a sophisticated conviviality. It feels like a new city.
It’s interesting how history works though. Walking at dusk through the Grote Markt, with its magnificent Golden Age houses of trade, under the sublime carillon of the Cathedral, you realize that, though the faces and much of the cityscape have changed, it is, in essence, the same city it was half a millennium ago.

The growing interconnectedness of everyone and everything is transforming our world into an unprecedented techno-social environment. The boundaries between atmosphere and politics are being suspended; already, tiny ruptures can cause cascade-like repercussions – think of cyber-attacks or stock market crashes, right-wing resentment or hashtag-based protest. Such ambient revolts are increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI) – involving human interaction but seemingly beyond human oversight. Set against this backdrop, the conference poses the questions: What are the techno-social logics of both regressive and repressive tendencies? What are emancipatory movements up against? What potential do micro-political acts have in day-to-day life? What regulations of automated systems at the macro level will enable democracy to emerge in the age of AI? The Berliner Gazette conference will explore these questions in the context of performances, lectures and workshops.

Brief History of Norfolk as a Penal Settlement.
As noted previously Norfolk was settled to provide flax fibre rope, flax sails and tree masts from Norfolk Island pine trees and also because it was uninhabited. It was also an island paradise with rich volcanic soils. Its only major drawback was its isolation and its lack of a good harbour. Its history falls into several phases.
Phase One- 1788-1814. This phase was run along the same lines as the settlement of Sydney. Both men and women convicts were quartered here. The women were to work making flax rope and sails and the men were to do the building, road making, land clearing, agriculture and stone masonry work. Some free settlers came too. The settlement was centred on Kingston (then called Sydney) and nearby Arthur’s Vale (watermill valley.) By 1806 the population had reached over 1,000 people. Then for financial reasons- the cost of sending supply ships from Sydney to Norfolk was too great- the evacuation of the island was ordered. Convicts and other settlers were moved to Van Diemen’s Land- hence the settlements there of New Norfolk and Norfolk Plains (later Longford.)
Phase Two- 1825-1855. This time the island was run as a total penitentiary for the worse offenders. There would be no escape from Norfolk Island. Conditions were harsh, severe and degrading. It was a place of extreme punishment. The worst commandant was Captain Turton. During the period 1840-44 conditions were slightly better. Free settlers were not encouraged to settle during this second phase but a few of the best behaved convicts were allowed to work small farms across the island. Massive government expenditure on the penitentiary meant that fine sandstone Georgian buildings were erected and like Port Arthur in Tasmania many of them still remain. A large prison was built in the 1840s, and the prison required large military barracks, large stores and Commissariat stores, officer headquarters, a large hospital etc and good quality homes for the prison and military officers on the island. Kingston remained the administration and shipping centre of the island.
Phase Three – 1856-. In the third phase some of the original stone buildings were dismantled or left to go to ruins. Some were burnt down or the stone re-used for other structures. But the major feature of this period was the introduction of 194 Pitcairn Islanders in 1856. Norfolk remained isolated and largely forgotten. At one stage the Governor of NSW (the British Crown representative in charge of the island) ordered that the Pitcairn Islanders could no longer reside in the former penal settlement buildings in Kingston. This was in 1908 just before the Commonwealth government took charge. The resentment of this change led to fires and some beautiful buildings being destroyed. In 1893 Norfolk got a telegraph office and an underwater cable link to the world via Canada. Soon it had a cable link to New Zealand and a cable station opened at Anson Bay in 1902. Once it became a territory of the new Australian federal government conditions improved a little. Shipping came irregularly but during World War Two the Australian government built an airstrip for defence reasons. Flights continued after the War and now the main linkage between Norfolk and Australia is by air. The federal government has also put more money into other facilities on the island including the Botanic Gardens, and all the restoration work at Kingston etc.
Bill Clinton spoke at Toledo's Waite Senior High School on September 27th, 2016. President Clinton promoted Hillary Clinton as someone who as president would govern through empowerment, not resentment. He provided a different perspective on the trade deals that have fueled much of Republican Donald Trump’s appeal in Ohio. The 42nd president spoke to an estimated 800 supporters inside the gymnasium of Waite High School, with many local Democratic elected officials present. As it was National Voter Registration Day, he urged people to register to vote and to remind family and friends of the Oct. 11 deadline.
“We‘ve got a chance to do something together where nobody is left out and left behind. We need to go seize it, and it all starts in Ohio by registering and voting,” Mr. Clinton said.
The Liberation Monument ("Russian monument")
(Further pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Officially, one can find various names: (Russian) Liberation Monument, Russian War Memorial and Monument of the Red Army. The Viennese call the towering monument at the southern end of the Black Mountain course (Schwarzenbergplatz) usually disparaging "Russian monument (Russendenkmal)".
The monument commemorating the 18,000 in the liberation of Vienna fallen soldiers of the Red Army was designed by Major Intazarin, the sculptures were created by Lieutenant Jakoviev. The overall direction of the yet in April 1945 ordered and as first monument building after the war completed structure had major Ing. Mikhail Scheinfeld. In the construction were temporarily 400 workers involved, 18 tons of bronze and 300 cubic meters of marble were used. The monument was on 19 August 1945 with the assistance of Karl Renner, Leopold Figl and Theodor Körner unveiled on then so designated Stalin Square.
On a in total 20 m high, marble-clad base, the lower part in the form of a five-pointed red star, decorated with flags and guard badges, stands the 12 m tall figure of a Red Army soldier. The soldier is wearing a gold helmet and the famous Russian submachine gun with rotary magazine. With his left hand he has the flag with the right hand he holds a round shield with the Soviet coat of arms. In the background arises a broad, eight meter high balustrade, at its end respectively one group of two fighting men is situated, a prime example of the style of socialist realism, which gradually has become an art-historical rarity.
One of the inscriptions in Russian only in the early 80s have been translated into German and is:
"Eternal glory to the heroes of the Red Army, killed in action against the German-fascist invaders for the freedom and independence of the peoples of Europe (Mikhalkov)".
Until 1956, there were also graves of Soviet soldiers in the area, and a Soviet tank stood before the monument.
The monument is in the custody of the City of Vienna. As is generally known, Austria is according to the detailed provisions of Article 19 of the State Treaty of 15 May 1955 committed war graves and war memorials of the Allied Powers on Austrian soil "to respect, to protect and to preserve".
Between 1945 and 1956 stood in front of the fountain on the former "Stalin Square" a Russian tank, which is now in the Museum of Military History.

Sometimes leads the memory to the bad experiences which have been made by Austrian people with the occupation forces - particularly the Soviet - in the ten years of Allied occupation to open resentment against monuments such as the "Russian monument". Nevertheless - the greater the distance from the war and post-war period is, the more one had to give account about the fact how much innocent blood just the peoples of the former Soviet Union have sacrificed in the fight against Hitler's rule, and how little the Austrian people to its own liberation has contributed. Such thoughts have got to come to one's mind when one takes some time to decipher the Cyrillic letters of gold on a "Russian monument" - whether on that at Vienna Schwarzenberg Square or somewhere out in the vast realms of Lower Austria, where up to the Waldviertel (part of Lower Austria) little Soviet military cemeteries exist.
A survey by the Gallup Institute, published in the "standard" on 11th February 1992 shows that 71% of Viennes people do know the monument. A clear majority (59 %) is for the preservation of the monument. Only 9% of the 1,000 respondents agreed with the opinion that the monument should be eliminated as a remnant of Stalinism. So, have the Austrians made peace with the contemporary history?
Hochstrahlbrunnen
Before the liberation monument arises the to the occasion of the completion of the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline on 24th October 1873 in the presence of the emperor put into operation Hochstrahlbrunnen (high jet fountain), which should have been standing according to the original plans in front of the Votive Church, then opposite the New Town Hall. The builder of the aqueduct and the fountain, Anton Gabrielli, was a friend of astronomy. Accordingly, symbolizes the respective number of the jets of water the days of the year, the months, the days of the month, the days of the week and the hours of the day.
"We are bound up in a delicate network of interdependence because, as we say in our African idiom, a person is a person through other persons. To dehumanize another inexorably means that one is dehumanized as well... Thus to forgive is indeed the best form of self-interest since anger, resentment, and revenge are corrosive of that summum bonnum, that greatest good, communal harmony that enhances the humanity and personhood of all in the community."
~ from No Future without Forgiveness, Desmond Tutu
The establishment of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission was a pioneering international event. Never had any country sought to move forward from despotism to democracy both by exposing the atrocities committed in the past and achieving reconciliation with its former oppressors. At the center of this unprecedented attempt at healing a nation has been Archbishop Desmond Tutu, whom President Nelson Mandela named as Chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. With the final report of the Commission just published, Archbishop Tutu offers his reflections on the profound wisdom he has gained by helping usher South Africa through this painful experience.
In No Future Without Forgiveness, Tutu argues that true reconciliation cannot be achieved by denying the past. But nor is it easy to reconcile when a nation "looks the beast in the eye." Rather than repeat platitudes about forgiveness, he presents a bold spirituality that recognizes the horrors people can inflict upon one another, and yet retains a sense of idealism about reconciliation. With a clarity of pitch born out of decades of experience, Tutu shows readers how to move forward with honesty and compassion to build a newer and more humane world.

Brand new Braum's (Concept "X" store design). Braum's is a dairy store (ice cream) based out of Tuttle, OK. They serve a radius that can almost be measured with a compass centered on Tuttle and stretched to a couple hundred miles or so--which concentrates them in Oklahoma, but does include western Arkansas, eastern- and northern-most Texas and lower Kansas. Its a sure way to know you're almost in OK. They have expanded their stores to house a fast food restaurant and a small "market" housing beef & dairy products, some produce and even their home brand of soda. I shop with them pretty often for meat, milk and ice cream, but harbor a bit of resentment for them ushering out Dairy Queen almost completely from the state (variety is the spice of life).

@ kilkenny castle
Dame Alice Kyteler (1280 – later than 1325), was a woman who was the earliest person accused and condemned for witchcraft in Ireland. She fled the country, but her servant Petronella de Meath, was flogged and burned at the stake on November 3, 1324.
Kyteler born in Kyteler's House, Kilkenny, Ireland, the only child of an established Hiberno-Norman family.
She was married four times, to William Outlaw, Adam le Blund, Richard de Valle and, finally, Sir John le Poer. In 1302 she and her second husband were briefly accused of killing her first husband. Kyteler also incurred local resentment because of her involvement in moneylending. When her fourth husband John le Poer became sick in 1324, he expressed the suspicion that he was being poisoned. After his death, the children of le Poer and of her previous three husbands accused her of using poison and sorcery against their fathers and of favouring her first-born son William Outlaw. In addition, she and her followers were accused of denying the faith, sacrificing animals to demons and blasphemy.

. If you've been offended by someone - forgive them. If you've offended someone - apologize. Don't drag around resentment with you. It only serves to make you sad and bitter. It doesn't matter who was right. Someone once said: "Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die." Don't take that poison. Forgive, forget and move on with your life.

IX The Hermit - Journeying in darkness, the solitary Hermit appears bereft and outcast. Yet [her candle] illuminates [her] path so that although [she] has chosen to be separate, [she] can see clearly the road ahead. The Hermit is numbered IX and, like The Fool, is embarking on a quest, but for The Hermit the traveling is within.
Keywords - inner knowledge . separation . perspective . individualism .
Upright Meaning - A time to withdraw. Do not worry that this card means enforced isolation, or lack of support; this is a time to look deeper within yourself to process what you have learned so far. You may seek this higher wisdom from another individual, but, however you choose to gain time and knowledge for yourself, you will need to step outside your usual circle of friends or family. Discretion and privacy will be important to you at this time.
Reversed Meaning - The Hermit reversed shows obstinacy and a refusal to face certain problems that you know have been partly created by your own attitude. Resist the temptation to display anger or resentment, and look for meaningful solutions rather than avoidance tactics.

Ever since I have fallen in love with birds of prey, I started hating crows. I feel resentment when I see a murder of crows chasing a hawk or harassing it when I see it sitting on a fencepost or hydropole along the road. I hate that they steal the young of songbirds and that there are just too many of them. On the other hand though I admire their smarts and ingenuity. When I was going to work one morning, one crow tossed a rock at me from the roof of the building I work in. It was obvious it was doing it on purpose, there was no one else around, it knew the rock wasn't a walnut........ they are not dumb........ and it looked down on me like it was laughing. I don't like crows. Needless to say I was surprised when this juvenile showed up on MY balcony last week and has been coming by ever since. It must have been fed by someone, because it has no fear.

Acadia University Wolfville - The historic festival has been cancelled and sadly there won't be a Queen Annapolisa Coronation held in Covi years 2020 and 2021 ? Although ABF has returned in 2022 the Queen crowning Coronation and Pageant are postponed until next year 2023 due to a late start ?

Shocking news from ABF,
* There's been a stunning development at ABF. *
Apparently in a new younger generation there are those who harbor resentment towards our nations history, for English colonialism, and even for the Monarchy ? Other minority groups have voiced discontent over the diversity and inclusion issue ? And so it seems that the current ABF Board of Directors has listened to the concerns and complaints of a few small minority groups while apparently ignoring and excluding the overwhelming majority of Valley residents ? And it appears that this current Board of Directors chose to resolve such discontent by simply moving to implement and execute the nuclear option and the final solution ? And therefore after a highly successful lengthy run of 87 consecutive years in a row, the extremely anticipated, very popular, family oriented, inclusive and diverse, multi village Queen Annapolisa and Apple Blossom Princess Pageant along with the prestigious Royal Coronation crowning ceremonies held in Wolfville have all been terminated forever by this current board of Directors ?
-----------------------It's The End of an Era-----------------------------
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep."
Annapolis Valley Apple Blossom Festival 2023 - ABF Board of Directors has announced drastic new changes in format and even deeper cut-backs to the annual People's Festival ? Concerns over ceremony, symbolism, the monarchy and colonialism, along with some complaints over inclusion and diversity may have had an influence on the current ABF board of Directors and they have seen a need to update the long running Queen Annapolisa and Apple Blossom Princess pageant in order to bring it up to a standard they view as being more relevant to the current times ? And so the Directors must have held an extremely private 'think tank' last Winter, and without notifying, caring, considering or consulting with any of the long time participating Valley communities, they had decided that rather than trouble themselves any further with this pesky issue, why not just take the easy way out and simply get rid of it ? And so it seems they made a final decision in private last Winter and moved to execute the final and fatal solution to their problem by ordering that the iconic 87 year old Pageant competition be immediately shut down and terminated forever ? And therefore, as a result of an uninclusive and uncontested decision made in private, one of the longest running, popular, identifiable, well known, highly anticipated, most inclusive and diverse, proud all family events that has ever benefited Valley residents of every age, has just been taken away ?
This unconditional act of finality will now end the long running 88 year reign of her royal Heinous Queen Annapolisa and will terminate all participation of the 7 to 10 Apple Blossom Princess contestants and their child attendants that represent 7 to 10 local Valley communities ? It will also mean the end of the many beautiful hand crafted award winning Princess floats that always highlight Grand Street Parade, and it will also signal the end of the ultra glamorous Queen and Ladies-in-waiting Crowning ceremonies held annually and televised each year from Acadia University in Wolfville ? This also puts an end to the many popular community Princess Tea events, and also ends all Royal Party visitations to local Schools, hospitals and old folks homes that are so welcome and appreciated by Students, Seniors and shut-ins ? This also signals the end of Royal Party appearances at Kentville Children's Parade, at the Memorial Park Friday night open air concert and fireworks, and all Royal attendances at many other events held annually throughout the Valley and the Province ?
It appears now that current ABF Officials led by President Logan Morse along with Kentville town rep Lindsey Young have not only interrupted the Pageant in 2022 when they temporarily postponed it, but have now in 2023 moved to terminate this prestigious event forever explaining that their radical decision has been made to improve, include, modernize and evolve the famed beauty pageant ? This final act of termination ends almost 90 years of royal pageantry and also leaves a huge gap in the Festival itself ? It will also negatively affect so many of the nearby Valley communities who always participate and enter contestants in the Pageant ? The ending of such an important multiple community event and the taking away of the better half and Star of the Apple Blossom Festival brings forth the question of what replacement is planned, and what are local towns and villages that always play major roles in both the Queen and Princess competition suppose to do now ? And what about Valley youth and the childhood dreams of one day becoming a child attendant or an Apple Blossom Princess or even a Queen ?
You have to marvel at the level of ego and disrespect shown by this latest Board of Directors who have dared appoint themselves as the ones that will end the Pageant and then to think that Valley residents are stupid enough to believe that by cancelling and taking away a cherished and long running event, that they have in some perverted way of thinking moved the Valley forward or improved and modernized anything ? It seems far more likely that they have taken the Valley on a giant step backwards and they have robbed the people of a much beloved, long running, multi community, all inclusive, local production that has always been a highly anticipated all Valley highlight for the past almost 90 consecutive years ?
Why current ABF Management who have applied themselves to be the stewards who are in charge and responsible for the promotion and presentation of this event, appear as unable to perform their duties and do the job they are compensated to do and do what their predecessors have always done so well before them each and every year for the past 87 years often in far more trying circumstances and in far less prosperous times, is hard to understand ? And you have to wonder, Whatever happened to the # 1 rule in business that says that if you can't do the job because of inexperience, immaturity, inability, incompetency, bias, or just plain stupidity, then,, You're all FIRED ! (and a Class action recovery suit may be forthcoming ?)

On the recent 2023 edition of the Grand Street Parade :
"it looked as if some spectators along the route just joined in and began to walk along and make themselves a part of the parade ? "
May 27th, 2023 - Dismay, disillusion and some extreme disappointment prevail in Kentville over shocking changes and many missing regular entrees in this years 2023 Grand Street Parade ? Where is our famous Queen Annapolisa and where are the many Apple Blossom Princesses and their child attendants riding in their beautiful hand crafted decorated floats ? Where's the town criers ? And what about the dazzling majorette groups, the Scottish pipers and large multi instrumental marching bands that always attend ? And where are the Hantsport and Windsor floats and their large delegations ? And where are Digby, Aylesford, Annapolis Royal, Canning, Middleton, Wolfville, and more ? Why are so many of the Valley towns and villages that normally participate not included in the parade this year ? It was also a major disappointment for many when for the first time ever, Kentville Apple Blossom Princess (aka Miss Kentville) was no longer included as there are many town residents young and old who identify with the Apple Blossom Princess at this time of year ? However, the now purposeless Apple Blossom Princess float was used this year to transport a grouping of everyday town residents as they sat around together in a social scene meant to identity Kentville with diversity and inclusion ? The New Minas float also did not include an Apple Blossom Princess for this year, however her float was transformed into an advertisement for the famous New Minas UFO incident which all New Minions identify with. The Berwick float didn't include a Princess Berwick this year either. but was altered to proudly identify with the town's upcoming Centennial celebrations. And the Kingston float was also missing an Apple Blossom Princess this year but was instead promoting their long running Kingston Steer Barbecue that all Kingstonians readily identify with. It was good to see an RCMP contingent again although they sent far less officers this year than usual ? And it was notable that only 1 other large marching band appeared in the parade when usually 4 or more big bands, many with many pipers usually attend after traveling up from places like Cape Breton, Bridgewater, Dartmouth etc ? And where have all the pets and animals gone ? There's no horse teams, wooden wagons, riders or livestock this year ? Even the usual greyhound dogs weren't there ? Also noticed that some spectators must have just joined in and began walking along within the parade, and others must have come over from the Children's parade with their strollers to join in ? There was a variety of advertisers, most from out of town but some local ? There were various Political parties represented, with the largest delegation coming from the Kody Blois Liberals ? All in all, this Year's parade seemed a bare minimum and a weak effort that really missed the inclusion of royal pageantry and the 7 to 10 spectacular Princess floats, and also missed the large marching bands and majorette groups that usually enter, the usual agriculture horticulture and livestock component, the popular Scottish pipers bands that always attend, and also the many large out of town contingents that always normally participate ? This was not the famous grand street parade that patrons are accustomed to seeing, and did not represent the high standards and degree of professionalism set by all previous Grand Street Parades ? It became obvious that what was being advertised as a newer, bolder, more inclusive and more diverse parade was instead the exact opposite because this new version of our Grand Street Parade had lost the inclusion, diversity and the major contribution put forth by the absent Valley communities along with their individual Princess contestants and Child attendants that always come to Kentville to participate in the Queen Annapolisa competition, the Friday evening coronation gala at Acadia University in Wolfville, the many Princess Teas, and the Royal attendances at schools, hospitals, senior citizen homes and shut-ins, as well as appearances at the Friday night Memorial Park outdoor concert and fireworks, Royal attendances highlighting the Saturday morning Children's Parade, and a Royal trip down Main street Kentville aboard a beautiful hand crafted royal float in the famous Grand Street parade ?
And so, to quickly sum up, can a strange looking, incomplete, shortened, now Royal-less, newcomer mentality amateur version of our elite world-famous Kentville Grand Street Parade that was now missing her heinous Queen Annapolisa and also missing 7 to 10 Apple Blossom Princesses and their individual 7 to 10 beautifully handcrafted Town Princess floats, and also missing much of the unique character and diversity usually provided by the numerous Valley villages and communities who were no longer included, and that also failed to include many of the large out of town marching bands and pipers and majorettes who usually attend, and that also lacked representation from local area farming, agriculture and livestock,, now signal the end of the once glorious Grand Street Parade era ?

BG Annual Conference 2018 | November 8–10 | ZK/U – Center for Arts and Urbanistics
ambient-revolts.berlinergazette.de
The growing interconnectedness of everyone and everything is transforming our world into an unprecedented techno-social environment. The boundaries between atmosphere and politics are being suspended; already, tiny ruptures can cause cascade-like repercussions – think of cyber-attacks or stock market crashes, right-wing resentment or hashtag-based protest. Such ambient revolts are increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI) – involving human interaction but seemingly beyond human oversight. Set against this backdrop, the conference poses the questions: What are the techno-social logics of both regressive and repressive tendencies? What are emancipatory movements up against? What potential do micro-political acts have in day-to-day life? What regulations of automated systems at the macro level will enable democracy to emerge in the age of AI? The Berliner Gazette conference will explore these questions in the context of performances, lectures and workshops.

In the first list of the candidates for the assembly elections, the AAP party has selected mostly inexperienced and parachute candidates for the 19 seats. The resentment among the party workers and leadership over the allocation of the seats exposed the fact there is no though after strategy behind the selection of candidates.
AAP has fielded Rajpreet Singh Randhawa from Ajnala constituency. Randhawa had joined AAP five months ago and in a span of just five months, he became the most favoured candidate of the party. Questions raised over the candidature of Randhawa for the Ajnala seat as party workers at the grass root level felt let down.
Another novice is Brig. Raj Kumar whose name is finalised for Balachaur constituency. Kumar had joined AAP in January 2016 and despite knowing the fact, the party allocated him the ticket. He was retired from Army in 2015 and after few months of his retirement, he joined AAP.
The party has fielded Santokh Singh Salana from Bassi Pathana constituency. Salana is the former BSP leader who hails from Salana village in Amloh sub-division. Salana is a parachute candidate fielded from a different constituency.
Rupinder Kaur, who is a research scholar at Panjab University, Chandigarh has been declared the party’s candidate from Bhatinda Rural seat. How a research scholar who is just 27 years old would concentrate simultaneously on politics as well as in studies.
The candidate from Dhuri, Jasvir Singh Sekhon is close confidante of Bhagwant Mann and that’s why he managed to get the ticket easily. Gurdit Singh Sekhon from Faridkot seat belongs to the family of Taksali Akalis but he has no experience of mainstream politics.
Samarbir Singh Sidhu is just 25 years old is fielded from Fazilka seat. Sidhu a novice in politics successfully won the trust of party high command. Another big gun from the renowned family of Punjab Kultar Singh Sandhwa has been fielded from Kotkapura seat by AAP.
Sandhwa is a grand nephew of former President of India, Giani Zail Singh. The party has given him the ticket just because of his connection with the renowned family of Punjab.
Interestingly, Amarjeet Singh, who runs a taxi business at Faridabad, is the party candidate from Roopnagar. Amarjeet Singh name in the list raise questions over the selection criteria of the party.
Even the AAP Mohali leadership is not happy with the name of Himmat Singh Shergill from Mohali constituency. Shergill was the candidate for Lok Sabha seat of Anandpur Sahib but he had lost the election. The Mohali unit of AAP was expecting the local’s name for the seat but the party finalised its blue-eyed boy Shergill’s name.
The resentment among the party workers over the allocation of tickets to novices and parachute candidates has made the AAP workers and leaders including Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Hardeep Singh Kingra and suspended parliamentarian Dharamvir Gandhi have raised the questions over the selection criteria of the party for finalising the 19 names.

This is the winner of the Green Anole battle I posted previously. He climbed to the top of his domain and reveled in his victory. Actually, he probably forgot about his heroism by the time he got to the top. He has a teeny wittle bwain! ;o) LOL That's a joke of course, his brain is proportionate, I'm sure, but I really do think at least a couple of things animals don't have, that we have, are resentment and arrogance. This anole isn't thinking, boy, he better not mess with me again, he better not cuz I'm the baddest cat in the whole damn town. He's just thinking, man I hope nobody messes with me, that hurt, I hope I look like somebody you shouldn't mess with, and I hope I get to mate before some Sandhill Crane eats my happy @$$!
Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)

This photo was taken whilst I was patiently waiting for my cup of coffee before popping out for a bit of a run - we shall not mention that I got hail-stoned on, which would not have happened had it not taken Phil ages to set up the coffee making doofer and make a video!!!! ( which you can see here along with plinky-plonky music.) as that may indicate that I was still experiencing resentment 4 days later (date of finally posting pic) - which, of course, I'm not...honest.
I was talking to another flickr and we were discussing Explore and interestingness. I am torn about explore as I don't have many pics up there but at the same time when I look at pictures in Explore I am bored, I find them technically very good, content varies but emotionally I still find them really empty. I look and look and end up bored. I don't think the basis for my boredom is some type of hidden resentment because I am not represented there but I really feel that my sense is due to something truly lacking in the selection process. Now this is not to denegrate the fine work these other people have done, I respect that they don't have to share my view but this is how I truly feel. So for better or worse this is what I am going to share with you, not make up some mealy mouthed agreement to appease the desire to be One with the population of flickr. Nor am I looking to be a self described Misfit.
Anyway, I wonder how others feel. I know some of my contacts have lots of pics in explore and some of the work I like out there resembles works in explore. So this is the basis of my dilemma.
What do you think?

I've been helpless, sad, and afraid
Watching the light inside of you fade,
Growing dimmer as darkness consumes you,
Knowing there's nothing I can do.
Your body has become but a shell,
And our home your own personal hell.
I walk through a minefield each day
Searching for the right thing to say.
But yours are feelings that I've never felt,
and yours a hand that I've never been dealt.
The resentment must drive you insane,
Knowing I can't feel your pain.
So pound my heart with your fists till they bleed,
Blame all your life's problems on me,
And I will gladly absorb the blows
For I know that light inside you still glows.

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow.
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
[ Lyrics from: www.lyricsfreak.com/j/joy+division/love+will+tear+us+apar... ]
Why is the bedroom so cold?
Turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal,
That we've kept through our lives.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Do you cry out in your sleep?
All my failings exposed...
Gets a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold.
Why is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear up apart again.
Joseph Keynes took up the land in 1841 and his descendants still live and farm in the area. Joseph Keynes (1810-1883) was the eldest son of a Congregational minister in southern England. He was educated by his father and wanted to become a farmer. His father Richard wrote to George Fife Angas in 1838 seeking information on South Australia. Angas offered Joseph the position of overseer of his stock in South Australia. Joseph accepted, arrived in 1839 and managed the farm at Flaxman's Valley for Angas. In 1841 he leased property which became Keyneton Estate. His partnership with Angas was dissolved in 1843 and Keynes declared his bankruptcy in 1846, leaving Angas with £9000 in debts, great resentment and injured pride. But by 1850 the once despairing farmer had become a member of the 'squattocracy', with land in the Barossa Ranges, the Wakefield River valley and at Mount Remarkable. Keynes systematically amassed thousands of acres, wealth and social respect, being a member of the North Rhine District Council from its formation in 1873 to 1883. He died in 1883 at Lockleys and his son Richard took over the property. In 1884 Keynes had married Margaret Ruth Shannon of nearby Moculta.

Minerva, the goddess of war, was the patron of Domitian. He had a shrine for her in the palace, dedicated at least two temples to her in Rome and, beginning in 83, he used her image on what would seem to be the majority of his coins. The emperor declared himself to be the son of Minerva, and the relationship between them is a recurring theme of Martials epigrams. The poet Statius, who was a firsthand observer in the reign of Domitian, even describes the emperor as wearing a toga that Minerva had woven for him. His patronage of Minerva can be understood in the context of the Flavian dynasty, whose members took pride in their success in war: Vespasian had emerged triumphant in the Civil War of A.D. 68-69, Titus was victorious against the Jews, and Domitian – whose resentment and inferiority complex made him eager to exceed his father and brother – launched campaigns against Germans, Dacians, Sarmatians and other foes. In all he accepted twenty-three Imperial salutations – more than Augustus himself, and he staged at least two triumphal processions. On most of Domitians coins Minerva is shown standing in what Carson identifies as four distinct varieties. Sometimes she holds only a spear, or a spear and thunderbolt, but more commonly she holds both a shield and a spear. Other times she rests a foot on a ships prow and is accompanied by an owl. In this case we have a more personalized approach. It need not surprise us that her features are modelled on Domitians, though we may describe Minervas as Classicised and Domitians as realistic. Identifying the differences is a worthwhile exercise: Minervas chin is rounded, her mouth softly modelled, and there is no natural contour to her profile at the point where the forehead meets the bridge of the nose.

Band of Brothers
This was from my brother Tom's wedding back in the 80s. My four brothers. I just realized that I don't have a lot of photos of just the four of them. I suppose they are all really really different people. In many ways we don't have much in common. Siblings are fascinating and everyone should have at least one. When we were growing up we tended to form alliances within the family.
It was mostly by age. Number one and two. Numbers three and four. Numbers five and six. But then they would kind of shift and change. Now it's shifting and changing again. I guess it always does. Within a family there is so much opportunity for strange undefined grievances and resentments. Old scores surface from time to time. Everyone's memories of "what happened" tend to be different. Particularly in a family like ours whose story contains elements of alcoholism, mental illness, divorce, financial inequity and a million other divisions. The task is to find common ground, to forgive, to forget, to be grateful, to be generous. To get over it. To start over. It's an entire path, really.

I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Dear camerado! I confess I have urged
you onward with me, and still urge you,
without the least idea what is our destination,
Or whether we shall be victorious, or
utterly quell’d and defeated.
- Walt Whitman, two favorite excerpts from, Leaves of Grass the first from “I Sing the Body Electric” and the second, “As I Lay with My Head in Your Lap, Camerado.”

"Giving up the need to know why something has happened to you will definitely count among the most rigorous personal challenges of your life. Everything about human nature craves an explanation for why events occur as they do. Our sense of reason is more than just an attribute of the mind; it is an archetypal power that governs our capacity to ground our lives and balance the forces of chaos in the world. The power of reason connects us to the rule of law and justice, directing human behavior on that tenuous path of right and wrong. Surrendering the need to know "why" represents the release of an entire inner archetypal map, one that the ego relies on for its strategies of survival in a world we perceive as heavenly influenced by the polarities of right and wrong, good and evil. To surrender runs counter to all your instincts of protection, grounded as they are in your need for personal safety. Your unconscious fear is that to surrender is to release the force of evil in your life without the rule of good to counteract it. We tend to believe, even unconsciously, that if we do good, bad things won`t happen to us. We do not only believe that principle, but also honor and live by it. Yet healing requires you to relinquish your need for an explanation- why, for instance, you experienced a brutal betrayal, or why you must take on the arduous challenge of healing an illness or assisting a loved one who is ill. Understandably, everyone asks, "How am I supposed to let go of this need for reasonable explanations?"

Bill Clinton spoke at Toledo's Waite Senior High School on September 27th, 2016. President Clinton promoted Hillary Clinton as someone who as president would govern through empowerment, not resentment. He provided a different perspective on the trade deals that have fueled much of Republican Donald Trump’s appeal in Ohio. The 42nd president spoke to an estimated 800 supporters inside the gymnasium of Waite High School, with many local Democratic elected officials present. As it was National Voter Registration Day, he urged people to register to vote and to remind family and friends of the Oct. 11 deadline.
“We‘ve got a chance to do something together where nobody is left out and left behind. We need to go seize it, and it all starts in Ohio by registering and voting,” Mr. Clinton said.
This majestic castle was built over 700 years ago, and was inspired by Roman, Constantinople, and Arthurian architecture. It sits on the intersection of the River Seiont, and the Menai Strait, and was a symbol of British rule over the Welsh; to the Welsh it was also a source of resentment towards the British.
Try and imagine a group photo of ~40 dogs ... this was at the Emma Memorial Pond Party, an event that just might be the highlight of the dogs' summer. Layla was one of two dogs that maintained her stay (Pip did much better than he did in years past, so hopefully he made it into the final photo). I'd like to think that her expression is one of utter concentration rather than resentment ...
Stereotype southern architecture in Indianola, Mississippi.
Although not directly related to the photo, the following story is quite interesting and speaks to the history of racial strife in the region:
In 1891, Minnie Cox was appointed postmaster of Indianola, becoming the first black female postmaster in the United States. Her rank was raised from fourth class to third class in 1900, and she was appointed to a full four-year term. Cox's position was one of the most respected and lucrative public posts in Indianola, as it served approximately 3,000 patrons and paid $1,100 annually—a large sum at that time. White resentment to Cox's prestigious position began to grow, and in 1902 some white residents in Indianola drew up a petition requesting Cox’s resignation. James K. Vardaman, editor of the The Greenwood Commonwealth and a white supremacist, began delivering speeches reproaching the people of Indianola for “tolerating a negro [sic] wench as a postmaster.” Racial tensions grew, and threats of physical harm led Cox to submit her resignation to take effect January 1, 1903. The incident attracted national attention, and President Roosevelt refused to accept her resignation, feeling Cox had been wronged, and the authority of the federal government was being compromised. "Roosevelt stood resolute. Unless Cox's detractors could prove a reason for her dismissal other than the color of her skin, she would remain the Indianola postmistress". Roosevelt closed Indianola’s post office on January 2, 1903, and rerouted mail to Greenville; Cox continued to receive her salary. That same month, the United States Senate debated the Indianola postal event for four hours, and Cox left Indianola for her own safety and did not return. In February 1904, the post office was reopened, but demoted in rank from third class to fourth class.

comments by CR:
The Andre Norton novel "Star Gate" first published in 1958, in an intricately crafted science-fiction story employing the theme of alternative history.
The plot of this story concerns an interstellar expedition to an inhabited world and the unintended harmful consequence that result. The planet Gorth is primary agrarian ruled by hereditary clans. Various city-states with a technological level akin to England in the middle ages joust for supremacy. Over the course of generations the "Star Lords" interbreed with the native human stock producing mix breed offspring who acquire some knowledge of the superior technology of the Star Lords. Native fears, resentment and anger cause the majority of the Star Lords to eventually leave Gorth in their starships. A small remnant of Star Lord remain but despairing they can erases the negative consequences of their presence decide to escape to an alternate Gorth in a "Star Gate" accompanied by several of their mixed breed children. The bulk of the novel concerns the attempt by the gate travelers to rectify an appalling political situations found on the "new" Gorth.
Ms. Norton elaborates upon the concept that propels this story in her introduction to the novel. I will summarize her scheme using selected quotes from her Prologue: "History is not a collection of facts; it is a spiders web of ifs. If the American colonies had lost the Revolution, if the South and not the North had won the Civil War...the procession of such ifs is endless, exciting the imagination and spurring infinite speculation. There is a fascinating theory that two worlds branch from every bit of destiny action. Hence there are far reaching bands of parallel worlds born of many historical choices. Thus if some means of communication could be devised a man might travel not backwards or forward in time but across it to visit, for example, a world were England rules the entire North American continent." The "means of communication" her star traveling adventures employs is a "Star Gate" mechanism, a featured element of the book by the same title.
One theme that plays a critical role throughout this book is religion. Both the Star Lords and the Gorths have a similar belief system. How this can be is never explained but like many of Norton's novels there is usually a sequel where all is made somewhat clearer. Unfortunately in this case there was no follow up novel.
This is an exceptional story and a fine example of Ms. Norton's admirable writing ability and plotting.

Französisch Buchholz in the Berlin borough of Pankow, is a district that developed from an earlier settlement in the 13th century and became known as Buchholz. It got its current name because numerous Huguenot families, religious refugees from France, settled here at the end of the 17th century.
By about 1750, the name Französisch Buchholz had become established and the village had become a popular destination for Berliner day trippers.
Because of anti-French resentment in the run-up to the First World War, the district changed its name to Berlin-Buchholz in 1913 and was incorporated into Greater Berlin in 1920.
At the end of the Second World War, Buchholz became part of the Soviet sector of Berlin. After reunification and with some local pressure, the district became Französisch Buchholz again on 30th May 1999, thus after 86 years, regaining its former name.
Mozambique-born Safira S. and her daughter are two of the approximately 51,000 people who have been displaced by the recent wave of urban violence in South Africa.
About a month ago, many men and women like her, along with their families and many friends and neighbours, were forced to flee, as resentment against foreigners reached boiling point: “We were beaten and all our belongings were taken,” she says. Bewildered by the brutal behaviour of people they had called neighbours and friends, they fled.
Where to go next, she doesn’t know: “It would be very embarrassing to go back to Mozambique with nothing,” she explains. “If we go back with nothing we will be the talk of the town – a failure.”
