#500 - Where We Are Now, 26-Jun-1996
Half of the American people believe in lucky numbers.[1] We do not
count ourselves in that half, yet a nice round number like 500 invites
us to reflect on events of the 500 weeks that have passed since we
began publishing RACHEL'S ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH WEEKLY. Much that has
happened has been powerfully positive, uplifting and inspiring, but it
has occurred chiefly in response to events and trends that are
decidedly dangerous and disheartening.
In the past decade, new, serious threats to human health, and to the
natural environment have emerged. We won't catalog them here because we
have done so in past issues which are available free to anyone who has
access to electronic mail. (To learn more, or to get a complete index
to all past issues, send the word HELP by itself in an E-mail message
to info@rachel.org.)
Suffice it to say that the juggernaut of toxic technologies (including
traditional petro-chemicals, and now genetically-engineered organisms
intended for use in non-medical environments), combined with growing
human populations and the "development" mentality (which views the
Earth and all its inhabitants, including humans, merely as objects to
be manipulated for private gain), threaten the fundamental bases of
The response to these growing problems has been a massive outpouring of
thought and effort by people working mainly at the local level.
Starting with Lois Gibbs's fight for her family at Love Canal in 1978,
an enormous social movement has emerged to confront toxic technologies.
It is still a youthful, even an infant movement. (For comparison,
recall that in this country it took a century of struggle to overcome
slavery, and women had to fight nearly a century for the right to
vote.) Yet during the past decade this social movement has had
phenomenal successes.
It has severely limited radioactive waste burial in the ground; killed
80% of all planned municipal incinerators; closed at least 90% of all
solid waste landfills and dumps; cast a pall of suspicion over, and
forced much tighter regulation of, boilers and industrial furnaces,
cement kilns, and medical waste incinerators; forced new regulations on
solid waste and hazardous waste incinerators; severely curbed and
regulated international commerce in hazardous wastes; forced a virtual
end to the licensing of new toxic waste dumps; stopped ocean dumping of
radioactive wastes, sewage sludge and dredge spoils; ended ocean-going
incinerator ships for hazardous wastes; stopped the dumping of garbage
by naval vessels and ocean-going ships; curbed the dumping of raw
sewage into the oceans; forced the agriculture establishment to at
least pay lip service to integrated pest management and, more
importantly, convinced a significant proportion of the American people
that pesticides are dangerous and unnecessary; forced legislation and
billion-dollar expenditures to clean up old toxic dumps; killed food
irradiation; killed sewage sludge irradiation; passed laws requiring
corporate polluters to self-report the immense tonnages of toxics they
dump routinely into communities (via air, sewage treatment plants, and
direct discharges to local streams); and on and on.
This is clearly a powerful movement that is changing the way industrial
people relate to the Earth. School children growing up today view the
Earth totally differently from the way it was viewed even 10 years ago -
-children are now taught that the Earth is something to respect and
protect, not to "develop" and use up. (When they grow up and go to work
for corporations, these children's views must be sublimated and
suppressed, but that is a different problem. Those views now reside in
the hearts of an overwhelming majority of young people, and the
corporate form that keeps those views from fruition is, itself, now
targeted for change.)
Most importantly, this young new social movement now fully acknowledges
that the most important issues are justice, power and control. There is
no more important question than, WHO GETS TO DECIDE? As a result of
this awareness, what used to be the "environmental movement" is now
the "environmental justice movement." The landmark "People of Color
Environmental Leadership Summit" in 1991, which formally adopted
the "Principles of Environmental Justice," forever changed grass-roots
activism in this country and probably in the world. Now it seems to us
that the environmental justice movement itself is broadening its field
of vision to address economic justice and local economic development
and to demand corporate accountability, thus melding into something
much larger, which we call the democracy movement. (There does still
exist a remnant of the traditional environmental movement which does
not particularly value democratic decision-making, which often works at
cross-purposes to community activists, and which, to maintain its
shrinking base of support, plagiarizes and takes credit for the
accomplishments of grass-roots activists and adopts the language of
environmental justice while forging alliances with anti-democratic
corporate poisoners. But their sun has set and, unless they fully
embrace democracy, they will not survive except as toadies kept by
corporate polluters.)
This new environmental justice/democracy movement has no illusions
about the power it confronts. This movement knows that federal
elections this year will spend over $600 million to woo voters, and
that such huge sums can only come from corporations (and their
executives, lawyers, and consultants) who thus purchase and subvert
government for their own selfish, anti-democratic purposes.
This new democracy movement knows well that the mass media are owned
and controlled by the likes of Walt Disney, General Electric, and
Westinghouse, and that therefore stories about our anemic democracy,
our disgracefully-apportioned economic pie, and our dangerously
degraded environment will generally be blacked out on the evening news.
If an informed electorate is essential to democracy, the ultra-
concentrated control of the mass media is a clear and present danger.
On the bright side, an alternative media of astonishing skill and vigor
has grown up to fill those yawning gaps with splashes of the truth.[2]
Furthermore, this new environmental justice/democracy movement has
reversed the trend of the '60s and '70s, recognizing that the source of
most of our ills is not government but is a legal entity called the
corporation, an astonishingly powerful social invention that is now
quite out of control, systematically pillaging the Earth, demolishing
here and in Europe a century's worth of human-welfare institutions,
and, most recently, even taking a wrecking ball to democracy itself,
buying and dismantling governments to better serve the selfish demands
of corporate marketeers.[3] The ultimate struggle for democracy will be
fought --probably fought to the death --over control of corporate
behavior. Can these entities be made truly accountable to their
neighbors, their compatriots, their shareholders, their employees and
their customers? Or must they be dismantled and forever outlawed in
their current form? It is an open question.[4] One thing is clear: we
cannot have a government responsive to people's needs until we put
corporations back into their proper, subordinate place, where the
Founding Fathers clearly wanted them.
Lastly the new environmental justice/democracy movement has given rise
to new criteria for decision-making. Here Greenpeace has led the way.
Under the direction of Peter Bahouth, Greenpeace staffers such as Dave
Rapaport, Jim Vallette, Ken Bruno, Charlie Cray, Bill Walsh, Jack
Weinberg, Sebia Hawkins, Ann Leonard, Pat Costner and others spent the
1980s developing what turned out to be new technical criteria for
decision-making. Although the organization became known for its in-your-
face, confrontational style, in actual fact Greenpeace became an
intellectual powerhouse that drew together important new principles for
decision-making. Then in the early '90s ETHICAL criteria for decision-
making emerged from the unlikliest of places, to complete a new system
of decision-making for dangerous technologies.
The new technical criteria include:
** The goal must be prevention because managing problems after they
have been created is too costly.
** The only way to achieve prevention is to set a goal of zero
discharge for persistent and/or bioaccumulative toxic substances.
** The only way to achieve zero discharge is to phase out and ban toxic
substances that are persistent and/or bioaccumulative; the words toxic,
persistent, and bioaccumulative are each defined, so this adds up to a
fairly rigorous prescription for sustainable industrial development.
** To maximize the likelihood of prevention, chemicals of unknown
character are to be assumed harmful until shown to be otherwise.
(Limitations of science will prevent this from fully protecting human
health and the environment; nevertheless, it offers a major step toward
sustainability, compared to the risk-assessment-based decision-making
techniques we rely upon today.)
** To maximize the likelihood of prevention, chemical-by-chemical risk
assessment shall be replaced by simulta-neous regulation of whole
classes of chemicals (e.g., chlorinated compounds with few exceptions
such as pharmaceuticals).
These are the technical bases of a new regulatory approach to toxic
materials. In addition, a set of ethical principles for decision-making
has also emerged in recent years:
** The polluter shall pay.
** The burden of proof for safety of a chemical, or of an activity or
technology, rests with the proponents, not with the general public.
(The principle of "reverse onus.")
** To deal with scientific uncertainties, the principle of
precautionary action shall be invoked. As stated in the 1992 Rio
Declaration on Environment and Development, the precautionary principle
says that, "Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage,
lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for
postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental
degradation."
** Lastly, Robert Goodland at the World Bank in 1993 developed the
principle that, "To be ethical, the project with the least
environmental impacts should be selected."[5]
This last principle has the most far-reaching implications: it means
that proponents of a new chemical, new process, new technology, or new
project of any kind (even consumers making individual choices) have an
ethical obligation to consider alternatives (including the alternative
of doing nothing), AND TO ADOPT THE LEAST-DAMAGING ALTERNATIVE. Mary
O'Brien of Eugene, Oregon has developed the case for "alternatives
assessment" in a new book, soon to be published. The assessment of
alternatives had previously been embodied in the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, but until now it has not been put forward as the
basis of ETHICAL decision-making. This is a new departure, exceedingly
important.
These, then, are the main developments of the last 500 weeks, as we see
it. They are exciting, far-reaching, and filled with hope, and we will
continue to report on them. We thank our readers for their kind
attention to our work, but most importantly for their own thought and
action. Together we can take back America from the poisoners.

For Small Creatures Such as We
Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World
Sasha Sagan, Sasha Sagan
"A charming book, ringing with the joy of existence." -- Richard Dawkins
"This lyrical exploration of how we can find beauty in the natural world comes from the daughter of Carl Sagan . . . A wonderful gift for your favorite reader." --Good Housekeeping
The perfect gift for a loved one or for yourself, For Small Creatures Such as We is part memoir, part guidebook, and part social history, a luminous celebration of Earth's marvels that require no faith in order to be believed.
Sasha Sagan was raised by secular parents, the astronomer Carl Sagan and the writer and producer Ann Druyan. They taught her that the natural world and vast cosmos are full of profound beauty, that science reveals truths more wondrous than any myth or fable.
When Sagan herself became a mother, she began her own hunt for the natural phenomena behind our most treasured occasions--from births to deaths, holidays to weddings, anniversaries, and more--growing these roots into a new set of rituals for her young daughter that honor the joy and significance of each experience without relying on religious framework.
As Sagan shares these rituals, For Small Creatures Such as We becomes a moving tribute to a father, a newborn daughter, a marriage, and the natural world--a celebration of life itself, and the power of our families and beliefs to bring us together.
Sasha Sagan:
SASHA SAGAN holds a degree in Dramatic Literature from NYU. She has worked as a television producer, filmmaker, editor, and speaker in New York, Boston and London, and her writing has appeared in New York Magazine, O. the Oprah Magazine, Literary Hub, Mashable.com, The Violet Book, and elsewhere. For Small Creatures Such as We is her first book.

RICKY BOYER - BASS, VOCALS
RICKY FALOMIR - DRUMS, VOCALS
WYLIE JOHNSON - GUITAR, VOCALS
This is the story of a punk rock band so good that when they opened for The Vandals (at the request of The Vandals bassist's wife who had heard them play live on KSPC), Joe and Warren made a decision right then and there to start a record company and take credit for the best punk discovery since Op Ivy. A year later, with the release of their self-titled album, Kung Fu Records was born in their honor.
Much of the punk community all over the world first fell in love with the Jelly Beans from their stunning lead track 'Braindead' on Lookout Record's compilation 'Punk Uprisings' or those who heard that track 'You'll never know' on the 'Punk Bites' comp have described this as the exact opposite of disappointing. Their first full-length was released in July '96 with another, ' What's Really Going On?' to follow in '98. Their EP 'www.y2ktheory.ep..ajb..com' was released in 1999.

Heather's Song of the Day: Keep Fishin'
Weezer has been known for their clever videos from the very beginning. Their debut video was filmed in a single take and featured a bunch of dogs running through the set. I love Weezer's second video, for the song "Buddy Holly." It was filmed to look like the guys were in an episode of the TV show Happy Days. It is almost seamless, and features all of the Happy Days' cast, including the Fonz.
Weezer have done a ton of other cool videos. In "Island In The Sun" they played with a bunch of baby animals. For "Pork and Beans" the guys wrangled a bunch of YouTube stars to appear with them in the clip, which turned the video into a YouTube sensation by proxy. But of all of the Weezer videos, I have one ultimate favorite. It's for the song "Keep Fishin'" and it features the entire cast from The Muppet Show. Watching it is like watching a piece of my childhood. So here is the video for today's Song Of The Day, "Keep Fishin'." (Special note: watch for the flipping penguins and the hecklers, Statler and Waldorf, at the end of the video!) Enjoy!

'Self-Portrait', oil on board, 40 x 50cm, 2018, photo courtesy of the artist, Mark Bagally
By Di Erlichman
Victorian artist, Mark Bagally (b.1961) won first prize in the Contemporary Art Awards 2019, for his painting Self-Portrait (2018). Mark dispensed with his usual landscape imagery and realistic application to detail and created an internal world using broad painterly strokes and layers of complementary colour to create mood and depth. Consequently, the work illustrates a vibrant self-portrait of the artist in a pensive moment.
The painting depicts a dark solitary figure in the lower two-thirds of the painting's right side. Here, the subject is positioned front on, gazing directly at the viewer. Behind the body is a painterly abstract background conceived in a compelling colour scheme of rose, cream, umber and phthalo-blue. The background provides depth and movement and juxtaposes the stillness of the figure. The use of light and shadow also creates a dynamic effect causing the character to protrude from the painting's surface.
Using the fat-over-lean method, Mark started with a wash of acrylic paint and extender to give a warm under-glow to the substrate then finalised the work with a dripped and translucent contrast to the overpainting in thick oil. Mark calls the act of painting his 'obsession' and believes that portraiture can capture the character and 'spirit' of the subject. If this can be accomplished the artwork can have a profound effect on the viewer.
Mark's self-portrait creates an intimate moment for the viewer. By portraying himself in a contemplative state, it not only offers audience members an introspection into the depth of his inner world, but it also reminds us that contemplation is often needed to help direct one's attention in any circumstance.
Mark predominately paints seascapes and landscapes created in his art studio. His work often depicts moodiness and can instil a sense of calmness, particularly with his larger paintings. He is currently studying Visual Arts at Oxygen College in Geelong and has been a recipient of a number of awards including winner of the DAFT Art Competition Torquay 2017, a finalist in Contemporary Art Awards 2018, and the winner of the People's Choice Award in the Surfcoast Arts Inc Exhibition Anglesea 2018. Mark sits on several art-related committees including Surfcoast Arts Inc and Surfcoast Arts Trail Committee run by the local shire.

The President and First Lady Test Positive for COVID-19
Posted by Joe F. · October 02, 2020 8:25 AM
This disease, while it can hit the most vulnerable people hard and even kill, the lethality rate of 0.01% means it is still on par with seasonal flu. Both of them may remain asymptomatic. It cannot be stated enough: Infection does not equate death. But that is the propaganda we've been fed for the past 6 months.
Donald Trump debates 2 people at the same time - Wins Again

** Trump was taking on two politicians
** Chris Wallace interrupted President Trump 76 times to just 15 times for Joe Biden
** Joe Biden couldn't answer a question
** Joe Biden's name-calling was disgusting and inappropriate
** Joe Biden made 33 false or misleading statements
** Democrats have to lie to the public about their policies and plans because they are so unpopular and destructive
Biden's BIGGEST WHOPPER: "ANTlFA IS AN IDEA, NOT AN ORGANIZATION"
This will be what haunts him the rest of the way. ANTlFA is CLEARLY an organization. a VIOLENT organization.
Democrats left the debate thoroughly defeated. They know they lost. How do we know that?
Because top Democrats are now all calling for Joe Biden to cancel any future debates.

Dem / Media Attacks Begin
"So far, Judge Barrett has been called a religious bigot, a racist, an antifeminist, anti-public health. Her opponents haven't gotten around yet to calling her an alien lizard person, but it'll come. Before it's over with, I'm afraid, that they will accuse her of drowning little newborn puppies."
"That's not what this is all about though, and I think almost all of my Democratic colleagues know that none of these things are true. This is what they're upset about;
Judge Barrett is a Constitutionalist, which means she's a Madisonian, which means she believes in the separation of powers, which means she believes that federal judges are not politicians in robes, which means she believes that the United States Supreme Court is not supposed to be a mini Congress, which means that she believes that federal judges are not supposed to try to rewrite the Constitution every other Thursday to advance a political or social agenda that they can't get by the voters, which means that she believes that the law is not supposed to be politics practiced a different way."

Organizers estimate 100,000 people rallied in Montreal Canada on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020 to "fight for freedom" and protest overbearing COVID-19 restrictions. Several speakers panned fake news and downplayed the seriousness of the virus. Some speakers said the virus is similar to a bad flu. They explained how the Canadian government allegedly killed thousands of people by sending COVID-19 patients to senior residences. There were scores of Trump 2020 flags with the slogan "NO MORE BULLSHIT."
The number of people marching and chanting 'USA-USA-USA' in Montreal absolutely stun onlookers.

President Trump makes clear plan to fill Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat
Updated: September 19, 2020 - 11:43am
President Trump on Saturday made clear his intention to get a Supreme Court nominee confirmed to the high court to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, arguing he and fellow Republicans "have this obligation, without delay!"
Ginsburg died Friday from complications from cancer. She was 87.
Her death immediately created a high-stakes partisan standoff about whether Trump should get to replace Ginsburg, with just 45 days before Election Day, or allow the winner of his presidential race with Democrat Joe Biden to nominate a replacement.
"We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices. We have this obligation, without delay!" Trump tweeted Saturday morning.
Republicans now control the Senate, in which a nominee is confirmed. However, the GOP is in jeopardy of losing its Senate majority with several races considered a tossup.
The GOP has 53 member in the Senate and Democrats have 47 including including two independents.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that a Trump nominee will get a confirmation vote.

THEY are after you - your kids, their kids - and their kids ... THEY must be stopped.
President Trump has announced the creation of a "1776 Commission" to fight the growth of far-left revisionist history such as the 1619 Project.
"Whether it is the mob on the street or the cancel culture in the board room, the goal is the same ... To silence dissent, to scare you out of speaking the truth and to bully Americans into abandoning their values, their heritage, and their very way of life.
Divisive and distorted histories of our country—everything from Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States to The New York Times' 1619 Project—seek to erase America's tradition of liberty, free expression, and self-determination from memory.
For too long, the left has been winning that fight. For example, even though the 1619 Project has been criticized as inaccurate by multiple prominent historians, it already has been quietly disseminated in 4,500 classrooms across the United States."

Stop the endless wars. President Trump offers a chance for the Middle East.
If the Trump transformation of the Middle East continues, it could quickly bring in Oman, Kuwait, and eventually Saudi Arabia all of which are entirely terrified by Iran's military and religious aggression.
Trump the Peacemaker
Abraham Accords Signing Ceremony
The Middle East may be beginning a historic realignment more significant than anything else that has happened in the region since World War II.
Last month, as a result of a big push by Trump and Pompeo, the United Arab Emirates announced that it was ready to begin normal relations with Israel, including trade, tourism, and, soon, full diplomatic relations with the Jewish state. The first regular airline flight from the UAE to Israel followed quickly.
Last week, Bahrain made the same peace overture and said it was ready to trade with Israel. Other Sunni nations such as Kuwait, Oman, and Sudan may soon follow.
The Saudi rulers, including crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, have to be realistic about the Iranian threat. They will be pressured by Trump and Pompeo to join in the realignment.
If Biden is elected president, that pressure will disappear amid Biden's initiative to rejoin the Obama nuclear deal with Iran. That Joe Biden wishes to return to this insanity is reason enough to ban him from all public offices in perpetuity.
The credit for this enormous breakthrough goes entirely to President Trump. Here's why he truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize -

Lawrence resident Ra Nam told CNN affiliate WCVB that a boiler in his house caught fire.
The residents of the three communities north of Boston, serviced by Columbia Gas, have been ordered to evacuate after a reported gas line rupture triggered a series of violent explosions.
According to Methuen Police Chief Joseph Soloman there were 20 fires burning in Andover, 20-25 in Lawrence and 20-25 in North Andover.
"It was very scary", Williams told Reuters by telephone, describing smoke visible to her on the skyline. "There will be plenty of time later tonight, tomorrow morning and into the next day to do some of the work around determining exactly what happened and why".
"Our thoughts are with everyone affected by today's incident", Indiana-based NiSource said in a statement.
"Good thing I wasn't home or I wouldn't be talking about it", she said outside an elementary school in Lawrence that the Red Cross had converted into a shelter for about 170 people. "It's total destruction. I'd be completely devastated".
Even though there was no immediate report on the case of the fire, Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency blamed the gas lines that had become over-pressurized.
She added that she wants to ensure the gas company "is willing to spend the money on the people, on the overtime". The three communities, near the New Hampshire border, together have more than 146,000 residents.
A day after a series of deadly gas-related fires and explosions tore through MA neighborhoods, the governor declared a state of emergency - just as authorities said they had detected a major gas leak under a street that could have led to a "catastrophic" event. "We are coordinating with our law enforcement partners as expected and personnel are on scene, as we normally would be in a situation like this to assess the situation", the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.
He warned anyone with concerns to leave their houses and head to North Andover High School, which is being set up as a gathering point.
Live TV pictures show firefighters tackling blazes engulfing a number of houses. At one, the upper portion of a brick chimney crushed an SUV parked in the driveway.
In Lawrence, however, the entire south side of the city remained an evacuation zone as of 11 a.m. Friday. "We will get units out there".
- In 2014, a gas explosion in New York City's East Harlem neighbourhood killed eight people and injured about 50.


This photo was taken about 1910 in Schuyler, Nebraska. In the photo, standing left to right are: Ralph Whitehall, Nancy Whitehall, Willie Whitehall, Emma Whitehall, and John Murray. Seated on the left is my great grandmother, Laura Belle Whitehall. On the right is Mabel Johnson, my grandmother. The lady in the center of the front row is Harriet Whitehall, the wife of Miles Whitehall. She is my great great grandmother. Here is some information that I was able to get about Harriet.
The following information was taken from a General Affidavit of Harriet Whitehall in regards to a pension dispute over Miles' scurvy while he was in Louisiana in the Army: "I was born at Medicine Creek, Livingston County, Missouri. I have known him (my husband) all my life. We belonged to the same master until I was 12 years old. I was then sold to my first master's brother. I was then taken away about three miles from where my future husband lived. Neither of us was ever sold after that. We were owned by the same masters and lived in the same places until we were free. My first master's name was Spence Gregory. The second, was Manlof Gregory. I was owned by Manlof when I was married. I went by the name Harriet Watson until I was married. I was married at my masters, by Reverend Daniel Bibins (colored, now dead). I never had any other husband and have not been married since the death of my husband, Miles G. Whitehall. My husband, Miles G. Whitehall, enlisted March 23rd at Chillicothe, Missouri. Our Children are: Nova Z. was born April 20th 1857, George W. was born May 22, 1860, Mary L. was born April 3rd 1862, John G May 13th 1864, William W. Aug. 16th 1866, Henry S.

Whitehall was born at Powells Point, Currytuck County, North Carolina. His P.O. address when I first became acquainted with him, was Utica, Livingston County, Missouri , and this continued to be his P.O. address until his enlistment. 33 years of age at enlistment. 5 ft. 8 1/2 in. high, black complexion, black eyes, black hair, and by occupation, a farmer. Spence Gregory was the only owner. Sometimes, went by the name of Gregory. Had one other wife who died before we were married".
Military records state that Miles was born in Kartac, North Carolina. Harriet Whitehall stated, in an affidavit, that he was born at Powells Point, Currytuck County, North Carolina. The following information is copied from information received from the Civil War Library and Museum: 62nd Regiment Infantry Organized March 11, 1864, from 1st Missouri Colored Infantry.

I have been working on my family tree for quite some time with mediocre results. It is hard to gather information when family members are dead or uncooperative. I have recently been able to get information from relatives that are interested, so I can update my files and this Web page.
I have a small web page with Family Tree Maker. A second source of information is the RootsWeb home page. From this very informative link, you can learn about numerous pages that have genealogical information on them. You can research your family history from the comfort and safety of your own home.


Flea and tick control is critical for cats. Keeping your cats treated with a veterinarian recommended treatment is the best way to prevent infections in your cat and household. It is important to ask your veterinarian which product to use as many products available in stores are actually toxic to cats and can be harmful or fatal.
Fleas are small and black/brown in colour. If you are concerned that your cat may have fleas, you can use a fine comb to brush against the fur into a tissue or paper towel. If you find debris, wet the tissue slightly and if the debris changes to a reddish brown colour, it may be flea dirt. Flea dirt is a sign of actively feeding fleas.
Many cats can develop flea allergy dermatitis, which can cause hair loss and itchiness. In extreme infestations, the sheer magnitude of active fleas can cause anemia.
Fleas are known to cause tapeworms. When your cat grooms itself, it can ingest fleas, which will then infect the cat with tapeworms. Tapeworms are a parasite that can be passed to humans, especially young children or immune-compromised people.
The products we have on hand are very safe to use in senior cats. A simple tube filled with a topical medication placed at the back of the neck will keep your cat stay flea-free. Be sure to get our veterinarian's opinion on what product is best for your cat as some over the counter (non-veterinary) products can be harmful or even fatal to cats.

SONG INFO:
1. 2000 Light Years Away
Song Rating
This is a song about missing someone you love, thinking about them all the time and dreaming of being next to them again.
The song was inspired by Armstrong's relationship with Adrienne Nesser, his future wife, who at that time lived in Minnesota, while he lived in California. Obviously, being so far away from her made him miss her a lot, and 2,000 Light Years Away is one of the songs that he wrote to express his feelings towards her. The number 2,000 is probably based on the actual distance between the lovers (it's also mentioned in another song about Armstrong's wife - Westbound Sign: "is tragedy 2,000 miles away?") - the actual location between their hometowns is a lot less than 2,000 miles*, but the author roughly approximated the distance because obviously, when you are apart from someone you love, it seems like they are worlds away, even if it's just a few hundred miles.
The distance between Minneapolis, MN and Berkeley, CA is 1575 miles (2535 km).
- song meaning courtesy of GreekStinkBreath.net
I sit alone in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
'Cause she's two thousand light years away
She holds my malakite so tight so
Cause she's two thousand light years away
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter,
We laugh together
2. One For The Razorbacks
"One for the Rbacks. A girl from Arkansas that became a good friend of mine. I wrote her a song. We listened to a demo of it in my car. 1991."
- Billie Joe Armstrong
The song tells a story about a girl named Juliet - her heart is broken and now she's not sure what she wants anymore. "Experience has got her down" and now she doesn't trust love anymore because she's realized that it's not always as great as you want it to be.
The narrator is a guy who believes that he can make Juliet happy. He knows that he's not perfect, but he wants to try and "bring her up again". He's willing to sacrifice his dignity and do anything for her, just so she opens up her heart again, because no matter how cruel and painful love can be - one can hardly be happy without it.
Juliet's trying to find out what she wants,
But she don't know
Experience has got her down
Look this direction, I know it's not perfection,
I want to bring you up again now!
I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price I'll pay to see that you're happy
Forget all the disappointments you have faced
Open up your worried world and let me in
Juliet's crying, cause now she's realizing,
Love can be, filled with pain and distrust.
I know I am crazy, and a bit lazy
But I will try to bring you up again somehow
3. Welcome To Paradise
"It's about West Oakland, living in a warehouse with a lot of people, a bunch of artists and musicians, punks and whatever just lived all up and down, bums and junkies and thugs and gang members and stuff that just lived in that area. It's no place you want to walk around at night, but it's a neat warehouse where you can play basketball and stuff."
The song is not only about a 'slum' that the author used to live in, it's also about leaving your parents' house. When you leave home and start a life of your own, you don't always get a house with 3 bedrooms and a swimming pool right away. In fact, most of the time you have nothing and have to live in some broken house with a bunch of friends. At first it scares you ("Dear mother, can you hear me whining..."), you panic and doubt you will ever succeed in this independent life you've decided to live, you think of quitting everything and going back home ("It makes me wonder why I'm still here..."). But people adapt to just about everything and soon you make friends and get used to your new living conditions. The new place becomes your home ("For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home").
"Some call it slums, some call it nice" - it's only slums when you look at it from a distance. But when you live and breathe it - it becomes nice because it is your home. Not your parents' home, but one of your own - and it's Paradise.
Dear mother
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since I left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
'Cause now it seems that I
Am out there on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call my home
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and
Left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
It's been six whole months since that
I have left your home
4. Christie Road
"Christie Rd is off Hwy 4 between our hometown Rodeo and Martinez, CA. My brother hung out there first. Then my friends hung out there too."
It's a common belief that this song is about a place where the author and his friends used to go to get high. However, this is only a part of it, and the lyrics are mostly not about smoking weed but simply about a place where you want to go when you need to be alone - a place that you can call home. The narrator says that Christie Road is a place where he feels comfortable and where he can relax. He goes there when he's stressed out because that's the place where he feels complete, where he can forget about the rest of the world and just be himself.
The song isn't as much about the tracks on Christie Road as just about the need to be alone. We all need that sometimes, and if you're lucky, you have a special place where you can go to get your thoughts together, relax and be yourself - your own Christie Road.
Staring out of my window watching the cars go rolling by
My friends are gone I've got nothing to do
So I sit here patiently watching the clock tick so slowly
Gotta get away or my brains will explode
Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road
See the hills from afar standing on my beat up car
The sun went down and the night fills the sky
Now I feel like me once again as the train comes rolling in
Smoked my boredom gone, slapped my brains up so high
Mother, stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road
If there is one thing that I need that makes me feel complete
So I go to Christie Road, it's home, it's home
It's home, it's home, it's home
5. Private Ale
The lyrics of this song are basically thinking out loud. The narrator is talking to himself as he's walking down a street alone and thinking about his life and future. He doesn't seem to care about anything and he just walks until he realizes that he's by the house of someone he's infatuated with. And he starts day-dreaming about them, letting his mind give in to temptation. He realizes that he'd rather think about this person than about his future that he doesn't seem to even care about.
I wander down these streets all by myself
Think of my future now
I just don't know
I don't see to care
I stop to notice that
I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there
Because I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sight
And through my veins
Temptation flows
So I sit down here on the hard concrete
I don't seem to care
So I sit across the street from your home
6. Dominated Love Slave
This is one of the most deviant songs Green Day have ever released on an album. The song includes a variety of sexual dreams and descriptions of BDSM role playing which the narrator is offering his partner (or potential partner) to engage in. He's expressively explaining how good it would make him feel if his wishes came true and how passionate he is about fulfilling his desire to be a "dominated love slave".
Unlike most other Green Day songs, Dominated Love Slave has no hidden meaning or concealed implications. It's nothing but the love of kinky sex.
I want to be your dominated love slave
I want to be the one that takes the pain
You can spank me when I do not behave
Smack me in the forehead with a chain
Cause I love feelin' dirty
And I love feelin' cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive those staples deep
I want you to slap me and call me naughty
Put a belt sander against my skin
I want to feel pain all over my body
Can't wait to be punished for my sins
7. One Of My Lies
"One Of My Lies was written at a warehouse on 7th st in West Oakland. I lived there with 15 roommates. Lucky Dog got me the room. RIP Lucky. Its the same warehouse 80 (Adrienne) visited me from Minnesota. 1991."
Like many other songs on this album, One of My Lies is about the doubts and realizations associated with growing up. The narrator admits that he used to have naive self-centered views on life, he thought that he was the most important thing in the world and his life was priceless. But now he's realizing that he's just as small as everyone else and has the same flaws and doubts - he's not special, and now he's woken up to understand it. In his rage caused by these realizations, he's stating that no one else is special either - we're all small and disposable, and no one knows the answers to his questions.
All these realizations lead the narrator to another serious question, and that is whether there is a God, whether there is someone or something that actually knows the answers to eternal questions. Like so many others he was praying at night because he'd been told that this was the right thing to do. Now he's reached the time when he starts questioning whether he believes in that himself - so far he has no answers. And he's wondering if he's just been lying to himself all along.
When I was younger
I thought the world circled around me
But in time I realized I was wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality
Do you think you're indestructible
And no one can touch you?
Well I think you're disposable
And it's time you knew the truth
Cause it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well it's just one of my lies
Why does my life have to be so small?
Yet death is forever
And does forever have a life to call its own?
Don't give me an answer cause you
Only know as much as I know
Unless you've been there once
Well I hardly think so
I used to pray all night
Before I lay myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too...
"(The song) '80' was written in Portland on the beginning of our 91 tour. Summer."
The first verse is about the feeling of love. How the author's senses are numbing (My mental stability reaches its bitter end and all my senses are coming unglued) from the ecstasy of love (wow, such cheesy). He begins trying to find ways to fill the 'hole in his heart' (Is there any cure for this disease someone called love) but realizes the hole/pain will not go away until he confesses his love (not as long as there are girls like you)
The chorus begins the description of the girl and how she is making him lose control of himself. He tries to tell someone about his crush but no one listens to him (If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me but you turn your head and I end up talking to myself) and becomes more and more of a nervous wreck (Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated, So I lose my head or I bang it up against the wall).
He starts getting lonely thoughts and how he's alone with no SO to talk to. (Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone and lock myself up in a padded room). He eventually begins getting panic attacks from his immense thoughts on 80 (I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air, no one wants to hear a drunken fool)
The interlude comes in with the author admitting he actually likes feeling love despite the pain he gets since its been so long already (I do not mind if this goes on, Cause now it seems I'm too far gone). The song ends by stating how the two end up as a couple (80 please keep taking me away).
- song meaning written by u/potlah on r/GreenDay
My mental stability reaches its bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease
Someone called love
Not as long as there are
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself
If someone can hear me slap some sense in me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head or bang it up against the wall
Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone
And lock myself up in a padded room
I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air
No one wants to hear a drunken fool
I do not mind if this goes on
Cause now it seems I'm too far gone
I must admit I enjoy myself
Eighty please keep taking me away
9. Android
"Android was named after (producer) Andy Ernst. It was about a homeless man walking down college ave. I was drinking coffee with Tre.
In this song, the narrator is wondering what will happen to him when he grows older. He starts off with thinking about an old man he saw - he sees that his man didn't succeed in life and realizes that this can happen to anyone. He wonders what this man was dreaming of when he was younger. Everyone has dreams of a great future, but it doesn't mean those dreams will come true - in fact, you might end up "wearing woman's shoes and being crazy" like this old man.
And so the narrator starts going deeper into his thoughts of what will happen to him when he grows older, and whether he will grow old at all. He thinks he's wasting too much time on things that won't get him anywhere and it scares him because he realizes how quickly the time will pass. He knows that time goes by fast and the more time you lose the fewer chances you have to succeed in life - "it's crazy".
The title of the song might be referring to the narrator's opinion that we often live life without thinking about our future, we "hide away from hopes behind a smile and smoking dope" - we act like we are not human, but only resemble humans, while inside we are a lot more like robots that have no real plans or ambitions, and hence no future.
Hey old man in woman's shoes
I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy
When he was young did he have dreams
Of wearing woman's shoes and being crazy?
It makes me wonder when I grow to be that age
Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change
Or will I grow that old?
Will I still be around?
The way I carry on I'll end up
Six feet underground
And waste away...
When the old man was in school
Did the golden rule make him go crazy
Or did he hide away from hopes
Behind a smile and smoking dope
It's crazy
It seems so frightening
Time passes by like lightning
Before you know it you're struck down
I always waste my time on my chemical emotions
It keeps my head spinning around.
"Mike had this beautiful bass line he wanted to turn into a song. I wrote lyrics for it. Song is No One Knows."
The narrator in this song expresses his fear of growing up and turning into someone who has to plan out everything they do. He sees that his friends are ageing and realizes that this will inevitably happen to him too. He doesn't express a certain opinion - he simply looks at both sides of the problem and tries to figure out what to do. He's saying that he doesn't want to live a planned out life, but wants to stay spontaneous and have fun for as long as he can. Yet, he's saying that sometimes he unintentionally hurts people with who he is, and that makes him wonder whether he should somehow change, have a plan for life, grow up. He's wondering whether what he's doing with his life is right.
This kind of insecurity could be caused not only by facing the inevitability of entering adult life but also by doubts about one's carrier or love life. At some point in life, most people wonder whether they should change their course in life - whether they should still reach out for their dreams or settle with a steady job, whether they should have a steady partner or search around for new relationships and experiences. Whatever the inspiration was for this song, the author didn't find the answer to his questions - after analyzing all of his doubts and feelings, the only conclusion he could come up with was "I don't know".
Why should my fun have to end?
For me it's only the beginning
I see my friends begin to age
A short countdown to their end
Call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes
Better think again
I don't want to cause no harm
But sometimes my actions hurt
Is there something I should find
To make plans for forever
(Does it seem like all your memories fade)
(You soak up knowledge to fill the space)
(And still my answer remains)
(I don't know)
11. Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?
Holden Caulfield is a character from a J. D. Salinger book Catcher in the Rye, which served as an inspiration for this song.
In this song, the narrator is trying to recall what he was going to say but realizes that he can't remember what it was. And just like his lazy mind, he himself can't get motivated and is becoming more and more idle and frustrated. He wants to do something big and meaningful, "make a stand" - but he doesn't have enough will or strength to fulfill that desire, and so he ends up almost forgetting what it was that he wanted to do.
As the author mentioned, the reason for the frustration might be the obligation to do what your parents tell you to - first you have no motivation for doing what they want you to do and you want to rebel, but then you realize that you have no motivation for rebelling either and you just might "end up quitting". As a result, you're doing nothing and drowning in your own apathy.
A thought burst in my head and I need to tell you
It's news that I for thought
Was it just a dream that happened long ago?
I think I just forgot
Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad
I just wanna say
There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting
I shuffle through my mind
To see if I can find
The words I left behind
Was it just a dream
That happened long ago
Oh well, never mind
Someone help him up or he is gonna end up quitting
12. Words I Might Have Ate
"Words I Might Have Ate was about Nina. She broke my heart. I was a shitty boyfriend. The 'school grounds' was a school we hung out at and smoked weed and made out and stuff. Oh to be young."
In this song, the narrator is admitting the mistakes he's made in a relationship with someone he really loved. He confesses that this was "something real" that he could have had, but he lost it and it was solely his own fault. He has the best memories about the girl he loved and he regrets that he didn't try hard enough to keep what they had together, but now it's too late and all he can do is "take the pain".
The song is filled with the spirit of the album expressing the difficulties of realizations of one's mistakes and self-deception. The narrator takes the blame for his actions and admits everything he's done wrong - but he can't change anything, and once again he's left without an answer to the one question that keeps dwelling in his mind: "Why?"
Now it seems I can't keep my mind off of you
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
Like sitting on the blacktop of the school grounds
The love I bitched about I finally found
But now it's gone and I take the blame
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Now I dwell on what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me, I am blind without a cause
And now I realized what I have lost
It was something real that I could have had
Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
Tell me the words I might have said
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late?
Just tell me the words I might have ate.

When choosing what to wear, many times we do not know how to make the shoes fit our look.Do not miss the following tips to keep in mind.
Prolonged use of a certain type of shoe can cause damage and pain in your feet that is preferable to avoid. Extremely high shoes or small shoes can create discomfort when worn excessively . That is why it is important that you take into account the amount of time that you will be wearing them when choosing them.
Something very important that we must have in clear is the style that we want to achieve. The shoes with high heels, platforms, little things, are associated with different styles that we must recognize. Depending on the clothes we wear and the occasion, we must choose. For example, for elegant occasions, high heels can help a lot, make your outfit and even your movements and walking are more elegant. Instead, for more casual occasions or more busy days, you must take into account your comfort : low shoes or flat sandals (depending on the time of year) will help you look good without losing comfort and firmness.
Shoes, belt, wallet, accessories … They have always taught us different ways to combine them. When you choose your shoes, take into account the rest of the accessories that you will use. But look! Do not just stay with this premise because then your look can become unoriginal. Also do not exaggerate choosing without taking into account the texture, colors and style. It is important to maintain a balance.
The shoes that we are going to wear should not necessarily be the same color as the clothes , but it is important not to choose colors or patterns that compete with each other. For example, if we choose a colorful outfit and showy, our shoes should be rather simple, smooth and unadorned . Neither should we use a single color: T-shirt, pants and blue shoes make us dull and monochromatic. A look like this can change completely with shoes of another color (in combination) more striking. We can also use different shades , that is, the same color but in different shades.
For each season there is a type of shoe. In spring and autumn you can have a little more flexibility, but in winter are recommended closed shoes and wide heel . This winter will be wearing high boots, and also boots with wide heel. In summer we recommend open shoes, sandals and little hats.
Using high heels allows you to see your legs longer; If you want to achieve this visual effect, you can do it with long skirts and dresses, or slim pants. If you have short legs you should not wear tight-fitting tights because they tend to shorten legs. In addition, the tacos can be used with casual clothes to add a little style to the clothes of daily use.
If we wear polleras or long dresses, it is usually recommended to combine them with high shoes, as this will avoid treading the garment. Instead, for short dresses and skirts, it is better to wear tight shoes or short boots; Also, in summer, these garments can be worn with sandals or shoes (either flat or with taco).
There are several options for each type of jean. For lickers or skinny jeans, we can choose between stilettos, high boots with taco, or shoes with platform . In summer we can also wear them with sandals for a more casual style. Straight jeans are the best match with everything: we can wear low or high stilettos and boots for a more arranged style, or sneakers for a casual look. On the other hand, if we are going to use a jean with boot cut or wide, we can choose between boots inside, some bozos, shoes of average cue or platform.

A circle closes
Deutsches Bundesarchiv: Presidential elections, Nazi public address van at Berlin-Pankow, 10 April 1932
"Ground was broken [Tuesday, Aug. 13] for a wind farm that will have five turbines located on 1,500 acres east of the Pantex [nuclear fuel fabrication] Plant, about 18 miles northeast of Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle. The project is expected to be completed by July 2014."
The 11.5-MW facility of five 2.3-MW turbines is being built by Siemens Government Technologies. It will be paid for by energy savings guaranteed by Siemens, that is to say, by the generous tax breaks paid for by you and me.
But the actual facility being built is far less than the one originally planned.
"In fiscal year 2010, the plant spent $2.7 million on electricity usage from Xcel Energy and uses about 7 megawatts of energy daily, according to federal data. Bidders must commit to producing at least 10 megawatts a day, a federal proposal said."
The facility "will generate approximately 47 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, which is more than 60 percent of the annual electricity need for Pantex, or enough electricity to power nearly 3,500 homes."
Note how misleading it is to characterize the generation in terms of "homes", when these five giant wind turbines are intended to provide only three-fifths of a single factory's needs.
Also note that the hoped-for 47 million kWh represents an average production rate of 5.37 MW* (which is 77%, not 60%, of the plants apparent load of 7 MW), quite a bit less than the initially sought guarantee of 10 MW. That 47 million kWh represents a capacity factor of 47%. In both 2011 and 2012, however, the average capacity factors for wind turbines were 34% in Texas and 41% in Oklahoma.
The federal government expects the wind facility to "save" $2.8 million annually, that is, to pay for itself. At a 40% capacity factor (i.e., 40.3 million kWh annually), that would require a cost difference of 14.4 cents per kWh from what they are now paying.
Presumably, this crucial plant is not actually going to rely on the intermittent and highly variable power from the wind turbines and instead it will be sold to the grid from which the plant will buy its more reliable electricity just as before. So add the generosity of ratepayers to meet the inflated price the grid is expected to pay for this merely symbolic boondoggle.
[Siemens' use of slave labor from, even in, work/death camps during World War II was publicized in 2002 when its Bosch division sought to register the trademark "Zyklon" for a range of home appliances, including gas ovens. Siemens already marketed a "Zyklon" vacuum cleaner. The insecticide Zyklon B, of course, was used to kill large numbers of the Nazis' prisoners in camp showers, after which their bodies were burned in ovens. Siemens helped to build V2 rockets (again, with SS-provided slave labor). And here they are still, now generating income from a nuclear weapons plant.]

Leopold Casselmann, ab 1907 Ritter von Casselmann, (* 29. Juni 1858 in Fischbeck; † 23. Mai 1930 in Bayreuth) war ein deutscher Politiker. Als Mitglied der Nationalliberalen Partei saß er im Reichstag (Deutsches Kaiserreich) und in der Kammer der Abgeordneten (Bayern). Er amtierte von 1900 bis zu seinem Rücktritt 1919 als Oberbürgermeister der Stadt Bayreuth.

Leben
Casselmann wurde 1858 in Fischbeck im Kurfürstentum Hessen geboren. Sein Vater zog 1871 als Kreissekretär des Landwirtschaftlichen Vereins nach Bayreuth, wo Leopold die Königlich Bayerische Studienanstalt absolvierte. Er studierte an der Philipps-Universität Marburg, der  Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin und der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Rechtswissenschaft. In München wurde er 1880 im Corps Isaria aktiv. Das Studium schloss er als Dr. iur. ab. Er wurde 1883 Reserveoffizier und war ab 1886 in Bayreuth als Rechtsanwalt tätig.

Im Jahr 1891 wurde Casselmann städtischer Magistratsrat sowie als Vertreter der Nationalliberalen Partei und Nachfolger Friedrich von Feustels in den Reichstag gewählt. Nach dem Tod Theodor von Munckers wählte ihn der Stadtrat 1900 zum rechtskundigen Bürgermeister. Am 21. Dezember 1907 wurde er in den persönlichen Adelsstand erhoben und erhielt gleichzeitig den Titel Oberbürgermeister.

Der erzkonservative Casselmann galt als Todfeind der Sozialdemokratie, er war Politiker in einer Stadt, die in eine Zweiklassengesellschaft geteilt war. Dank eines Wahlrechts, das an den Besitz des Bürgerrechts gekoppelt war und die Wahlberechtigung an hohe Gebühren knüpfte, waren die Arbeiter weitgehend, Frauen und Soldaten gänzlich vom kommunalen politischen Leben ausgeschlossen. Mitbürger "sozialdemokratischer Gesinnung" konnten als "nicht unbescholtene Bürger" weder Mitglied des liberalen Bürger-Vereins Bayreuth werden noch in die Freiwillige Sanitätskolonne des Roten Kreuzes eintreten.

1897 wurde er in die Kammer der Abgeordneten (Bayern) berufen, wo er als Führer der nationalliberalen Fraktion 1917 zum Vizepräsidenten ernannt und wenige Tage vor dem 8. November 1918 als Justizminister designiert wurde. Die Novemberrevolution setzte jedoch seiner politischen Laufbahn ein Ende. Am 4. November 1913 hatte er gemeinsam mit Ludwig Giehrl im Auftrag der Zentrumspartei den bayerischen König Otto aufgesucht, um sich ein Bild von dessen geistiger Verfassung zu machen. Aufgrund des Berichts der beiden Parlamentarier wurde der Monarch für regierungsunfähig erklärt.

In der Nacht zum 9. November 1918 wurde in der Stadt ein Arbeiter- und Soldatenrat gegründet, der aber den stark konservativ geprägten Magistrat wie auch Casselmann als Oberbürgermeister in Amt und Würden beließ. Jener erklärte offen, er könne als Monarchist nicht über Nacht Republikaner werden, da er kein "Gesinnungslump" sei. Einen Tag nach Ausbruch des Speckputsches in Bayreuth reichte er am 18. Februar 1919 sein Rücktrittsgesuch ein und trat am 30. Juni 1919 offiziell zurück.

Bei seinem Rücktritt verlieh ihm der Bayreuther Stadtrat das Ehrenbürgerrecht und die goldene Ehrenbürgermünze. 1924 gehörte er zu den Gründern der Nationalliberalen Partei in Bayern (NLP), die sich 1927 mit der DNVP vereinigte. Als Pensionär verblieb von Casselmann in Bayreuth und verstarb dort am 23. Mai 1930. Er war Mitglied der Bayreuther Freimaurerloge Eleusis zur Verschwiegenheit. Im Bayreuther Spinnereiviertel wurde 1920 die vormalige Heustraße ihm zu Ehren in Casselmannstraße umbenannt.

Charlotte Gainsbourg: Anna (NOWNESS)
By Aurélie M on	 2 février 2012 Interviews in english, Stage Whisper (2012)
The Actress and Chanteuse Shares Her Thoughts on Process and Papa Serge
By NowNess, January 2012 – Photos by Linda Brownlee
LISTEN TO ANNA REMIX HERE
Award-winning actress and singer-songwriter Charlotte Gainsbourg marks the release of double album Stage Whispers with an exclusive remix of her track "Anna" by The Horrors' Tom Furse. Featuring live recordings from her critically acclaimed 2010 release IRM alongside new compositions, the Beck-produced record sees Gainsbourg's ethereal vocals float across a mix of musical styles. Daughter of French musical legend Serge and 60s It Girl actress Jane Birkin, Gainsbourg first entered the public eye at 13 in a storm of controversy with a musical duet with her father entitled "Lemon Incest." "I feel lucky to have been able to work with my parents, especially with my father. It was done in such a natural, obvious way," explains the singer, whose gamine look, tousled hair and cool charm are the epitome of Parisian chic. Gainsbourg's depth as an actress has come through in a series of challenging roles, including a deranged grieving mother in Lars von Trier's infamous Antichrist that earned her the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009. Having recently completed La Confession d'un Enfant du Siècle, a film about romantic French poet Alfred de Musset, with co-star and Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty, Gainsbourg reflects on finding her voice and being muse to Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquière.
How was the process on Stage Whisper different from previous albums?
This time I was able to go from an electronic piece with Beck to something completely acoustic with the Villagers. It was lovely. I'm very slow. I like to take my time. And this was the opposite. Working with people, I'm gradually beginning to understand my voice and what I want, where I want go.
And where is it you want to go?
I want to be less embarrassed by who I am but not aspire to be someone different.
Many artists have to struggle with that, yet you carry the weight of inheritance as well.
People live better if they can really tear down their parents at one point. I couldn't do that, I wasn't able to step on them and crush them.
Were they just too larger-than-life to do that?
No I loved them. I couldn't find faults with them. Even their faults had great charm.
Were there many boundaries to rebel against?
The thing is, I was very sensible child, whereas they didn't care if I had my baccalaureate or whatever. I was very stubborn. I wanted to go to the end. My sisters were not the same, they were much more artistic from the very start. I liked maths, everything that was reassuring. I had this on one side and on the other I realize that at 12 I started going on films. They left me completely free to have my own life. It was so important, I realize now, for me to build up who I was through those experiences.
And the experience of being a muse for Balenciaga?
When I met Nicolas [Ghesquière], it was ten years ago, that's when I started having fun dressing up a little bit and using his silhouettes that fitted me. It was a nice way of combining what I really enjoyed doing, which was [modelling for] the pictures, with something that I was curious about. I like fashion but I am not passionate about it. I love being a little bit far away.
Questions from NOWNESS Readers
If you could take three of your most coveted piece of clothing with you to heaven, what would you take?
Question from Lamont Hubert via Facebook
I'd take three pieces of clothing from my children. You're going to think I' m a disguised paedophile but I'd take their knickers from when they were babies. It's such a lovely smell, so that's what I'd take. But now my son is really grown up so I can't take his underwear. Still I'd take the smelly things, like socks, t-shirts…
What inspired the title 5.55?
Question from James Zebediah via Twitter
It was an album about the night, and meant that we could talk about dreams and childhood and nightmares. That's what I love about Air—their atmosphere. It was a voyage into nighttime, that was the subject and Air came up with the title. Waking up at 5.55, or not sleeping and seeing 5.55 on the clock…

Rockwool Building roll is used in building, serves multiple advantages. Rockwool Building roll being a thermal insulation material it stops the heat flow and conserves lots of energy used in maintaining room temperature. With its sound absorption & acoustic insulation properties the building is always quiet and outside noise do not enter and the most important feature is fire retention providing safety from fire accidents and gives that extra time to save life. They can be inserted in cavity between walls as cavity insulation or can be applied on the outer surface along with a protective layer. Rockwool Building insulation can be easily applied as an under deck insulation layer, inside POP, gypsum celling or any other roof celling.

Joachim-Fritz Schultze-Bansen (bis ca. 1985 Joachim-Fritz Schultze) (* 1926 in Berlin; † 2005 ebenda) war ein deutscher Bildhauer.

Leben und Werk
Schultze-Bansen versuchte von 1948 an einen Studienplatz zu erhalten und studierte in den Jahren 1950 bis 1951 an der Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst in Berlin-Weißensee und Bildhauerei von 1951 bis 1958 an der Hochschule der Künste Berlin. Die Jahre von 1954 bis 1955 verbrachte er in der Türkei. Die namenlose Plastik aus Bronze von 1957 wurde als erste Nachkriegsskulptur vor der Georg-Ramin-Siedlung aufgestellt und sorgte damals in Spandau-Stadt für kontroverse Diskussionen über Moderne Kunst.

Ab dem Jahre 1959 ließ er sich als Bildhauer in Berlin nieder.

Bildhauersymposien
Die nach dem Vorbild von Karl Prantl in Österreich begonnenen internationalen Bildhauersymposien von 1959 und 1960 beabsichtigten die deutschen Bildhauer Schultze-Bansen, Erich Reischke und Herbert Baumann (alle Mitglied in Verein Symposion Europäischer Bildhauer), darin unterstützt von den Professoren Karl Hartung und Alexander Gonda, ein Bildhauersymposium in Deutschland zu organisieren. Mit ihm und weiteren Bildhauern fand das erste bundesdeutsche Symposion im Jahre 1961, das Bildhauersymposion Kaisersteinbruch in Gaubüttelbrunn statt, einem kleinen Ort bei Kirchheim in Unterfranken.

Ende Oktober 1961 beschlossen die Teilnehmer des Gaubüttelbrunner Symposions, als Protestzeichen gegen den Bau der Berliner Mauer, ein Symposion in Berlin zu veranstalten: Das Symposion europäischer Bildhauer 1961–1963, das so genannte Mauersymposion. Während dieses Symposiums schuf Schultze-Bansen zwei Steinskulpturen.

Von 1964 bis 1965 war Schultze-Bansen Gastdozent an der Hochschule der Künste Berlin.
