During the same night, some of the men who attacked the settlement tried to rape this 13-year-old girl. They were stopped by her relatives as they dragged her away, but they won't easily be brought to justice. It is common for police to refuse to accept complaints by low-caste victims of crime or to fail to act on cases they do register.
"Rocky the Musical (originally Rocky: Das Musical) is a 2012 musical with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Thomas Meehan and Sylvester Stallone, based on the 1976 film of the same name written by Stallone. The show held its world premiere in Hamburg in 2012 and opened on Broadway in 2014 at the Winter Garden Theatre.
Philadelphia, often called Philly, is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the sixth-largest city in the U.S., the second-largest city in both the Northeast megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City, and the 68th-largest city in the world. Since 1854, the city has been coextensive with Philadelphia County, the most populous county in Pennsylvania and the urban core of the Delaware Valley, the nation's seventh-largest and world's 68th-largest metropolitan region, with 6.245 million residents as of 2020. The city's population as of the 2020 census was 1,603,797, and over 56 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, an English Quaker. The city served as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony during the British colonial era and went on to play a historic and vital role as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired the American Revolution and the nation's independence. Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774 following the Boston Tea Party, preserved the Liberty Bell, and hosted the Second Continental Congress during which the founders signed the Declaration of Independence, which historian Joseph Ellis has described as "the most potent and consequential words in American history". Once the Revolutionary War commenced, both the Battle of Germantown and the Siege of Fort Mifflin were fought within Philadelphia's city limits. The U.S. Constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia remained the nation's largest city until 1790, when it was surpassed by New York City, and served as the nation's first capital from May 10, 1775, until December 12, 1776, and on four subsequent occasions during and following the American Revolution, including from 1790 to 1800 while the new national capital of Washington, D.C. was under construction.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Philadelphia emerged as a major national industrial center and railroad hub. The city’s blossoming industrial sector attracted European immigrants, predominantly from Germany and Ireland, the two largest reported ancestry groups in the city as of 2015. In the 20th century, immigrant waves from Italy and elsewhere in Southern Europe arrived. Following the end of the Civil War in 1865, Philadelphia became a leading destination for African Americans in the Great Migration. In the 20th century, Puerto Rican Americans moved to the city in large numbers. Between 1890 and 1950, Philadelphia's population doubled to 2.07 million. Philadelphia has since attracted immigrants from East and South Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
With 18 four-year universities and colleges, Philadelphia is one of the nation's leading centers for higher education and academic research. As of 2021, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the nation's ninth-largest metropolitan economy with a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of US$479 billion. Philadelphia is the largest center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and the broader multi-state Delaware Valley region; the city is home to five Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as of 2022. The Philadelphia skyline, which includes several globally renowned commercial skyscrapers, is expanding, primarily with new residential high-rise condominiums. The city and the Delaware Valley are a biotechnology and venture capital hub; and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, owned by NASDAQ, is the nation's oldest stock exchange and a global leader in options trading. 30th Street Station, the city's primary rail station, is the third-busiest Amtrak hub in the nation, and the city's multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure, including Philadelphia International Airport, the PhilaPort seaport, freight rail infrastructure, roadway traffic capacity, and warehouse storage space, are all expanding.
Philadelphia is a national cultural hub, hosting more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other American city. Fairmount Park, when combined with adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is 2,052 acres (830 ha), representing one of the nation's largest contiguous urban parks and the 45th largest urban park in the world. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial and Revolution-era history; in 2016, it attracted 42 million domestic tourists who spent $6.8 billion, representing $11 billion in total economic impact to the city and surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
With five professional sports teams and a hugely loyal fan base, the city is often ranked as the nation's best city for professional sports fans. The city has a culturally and philanthropically active LGBTQ+ community. Philadelphia also has played an immensely influential historic and ongoing role in the development and evolution of American music, especially R&B, soul, and rock.
Philadelphia is a city of many firsts, including the nation's first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), university (by some accounts) (1779), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks, including Independence Hall. From the city's 17th century founding through the present, Philadelphia has been the birthplace or home to an extensive number of prominent and influential Americans. In 2021, Time magazine named Philadelphia one of the world's greatest 100 places." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
Now on Instagram.

This dry cleaning shop has been in Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury since 1959. I don’t know if the sign is the original but is certainly looks the part.

Globular springtails, bolvormige springstaarten (all black Sminthurinus sp.)
Enlarged (3x) pictures of flic.kr/p/2m15zpH. The picture in the top left corner is new, but it shows the same specimen as the bottom left picture.
The focus is on the form of the 'eyebrow', as a characteristic to identify the species.
Roel van Bezouw and Frans Janssens seem to agree:
Left and top (short square/round 'eyebrow'): Sminthurinus lawrencei
Bottom right (long almost triangular 'eyebrow'): Sminthurinus niger.
Sminthurinus niger is a rare species (in the Netherlands).
Same photo as posted the other day but experimenting with colour grading. Very rare that I do this sort of 'editing', but I like the impact on this occasion. Headwaters of Crocodile Creek, Bowling Green Bay NP.

Protest gathering at the front of the State Library of Victoria aimed at legalising same sex marriage (now re-branded 'marriage equality'). The timing was deliberate as it is during the Australian Federal Election campaign with polling day three weeks after this event.
The State Library is a common place for such demonstrations, nearly always from the political left. It is located RMIT and the University of Melbourne, as well as Trades Hall, home to several unions and left-wing minor political parties.
A selection of the posters constantly plastered around the city centre for events such as this, along with the next Marxist convention from the Socialist Alternative - usually held at nearby Trades Hall. A Melbourne City Council team then goes around removing the lot soon after!

Our love story is simple, but unusual at the same time.
Dennis and I met through a dating site. What happiness can you expect when you look for your other half in this way? The dating site, as a rule, tends to strip the relationship of intrigue when two people are trying to get to know each other, as it is clear in advance “why we have gathered here today”. However, after years of experience (more negative, than positive) with the opposite sex, and a skeptical approach towards relationships, I thought it was time to give it a try.
Obviously, it didn’t all happen at once: I selected an agency and they accepted me, but it was decided fairly easily. At the end of December 2009, Dennis sent me his first letter which was very intelligent, but not without a sense of humor. After this our correspondence became very active, and in a month we were ready to meet face to face and spend a few days together.
Dennis and Marina Dennis and Marina
Is it worth saying that I was slightly worried and a little nervous? I had hundreds of questions: “What if he doesn’t like me?”, “What if he’s not the same in real life as he is in his photos and letters?”, “What if someone helped him to write the letters, and he’s actually pretty boring?”, etc, etc.
Then the moment came! I went into the restaurant, where we’d arranged to meet. My heart was in my throat, and I thought it would just jump right out! Finally I saw him, sitting calmly (or at least he gave that impression) at a table drinking coffee. In one moment my nervousness went away, and it was as if everything had landed in its place. We had a great time together. It was comfortable between us, and we didn’t want to go our separate ways. In a month, Dennis came again, but already with the intention to ask for my hand (and my heart).
I didn’t need to think even for a minute, as I was 100% sure that my man, around whom I was sure, would offer me support, protection, care, and of course, love. He got on so well with my 2 year old son, and my son responded to him in the same way. What could be more important for a woman from her partner than a sincere relationship, and love for her child?

Dennis and I got together on 2nd June 2010. His parents also came across to share in their son’s happiness. His dad made the sense according to Danish tradition (as they live in Denmark). He gave us 2 very important pieces of advice. So that our life together is long and full of happiness:
Don’t let the sun go down if you feel some level of anger towards each other. Every day should end with a kiss and a hug before bed.
Love is something that you need to fit for. Every day discover something new and positive in each other, and most importantly, talk to each other about it.
So that something amazing happens, it isn’t essential that it comes from the outside. Our life is the way we see it. We are inexhaustible sources of the amazing and the unknown.
Dennis and I will never stop discovering how similar, yet different we are, but everything that happens between us is so natural and amazing, that it seems like it has been that way forever, and will be that way forever more.
Relationships need constant work, and we are ready to work FOREVER, so that this lasts to the end of our days.

Thousands of people gathered at the Minnesota state capitol building during the Minnesota Senate debate on a same sex marriage bill. The bill passed the Minnesota House of Representatives on May 9 by a vote of 75 to 59. The Minnesota Senate passed the bill this day by a vote of 37 to 30. The law delineates the rights of gay and lesbian couples to marry.

/ALEVTINA KAKHIDZE:
IT ONLY LOOKS THE SAME
Opening: May 31st, 7pm
The exhibition runs until June 30th, 2013
Curator: Michal Novotný
The work of artist Alevtina Kakhidze lies between the still valid borders of East and West within Ukraine. It reflects both of those worlds within an anarcho feudalist society: huge geographical differences, a non caring state and extremely wealthy oligarchy. The western European desire is not anymore for the accumulation of goods or property, but rather experiences, visage and brands, regardless of actual promoted quality or real value of production.
Her artwork of a journey to the sky in a private jet plane therefore should not just be read as commentary on the class stratification of Ukrainian society. The price of taking a private jet flight just to see the land from the window is absurd, but however good a joke it is for the oligarch to spend this money which is inconsequential for him, the act also can be read symbolically. In Ukraine some people dispose of the power of taking others into heaven. Alevtina refused to produce drawings from the jet, which was the very reason for the flight in the first place. Not only is this in the frame of "I would prefer not to", Bartleby's passive resistance towards the system, but also a comment on the absurdity of the western post-fordist attitude towards life; to be filled with more new, exotic
and extreme experiences.
Alevtinas position however is neither contra or anti. She doesn't follow the simplification of many western leftist movements, reading everything through the pattern of "us against them", nor is she satisfied with a simple proclamation or illustration of the Eastern European situation as many other "East" labelled artists. While reacting to the situation and actual place, Alevtina instead takes action: opening a residency program in her rural village of Muzychi, creating a business plan independent of the supply/demand rule for local artisanals, or lecturing on Berlin Biennale for collectors. Alevtina is not separating herself from her surroundings, but rather becomes a motor of change. Her reactions are multilayered and complex, as much as the reading of them should be. In her exhibition at FUTURA gallery she therefore presents several of her works in multiple different ways.
Alevtina Kakhidze attended the National Academie Of Fine Art and Architecture in Kiev and Jan van Eyck Academie in the Netherlands. She exhibits in Ukraine as well as internationally since 2002. Alevtina Kakhidze took part on the 7th Berlin Biennale, Kiev Arsenale 2012 among many other solo and group exhibitions and was awarded the Kasimir Malevich artist award in 2008.
