De-Extinction Is Now a Thing—Starting With Passenger Pigeons
When Martha the passenger pigeon died in 1914 at the Cincinnati Zoo, it marked the end of an era.
Once the dominant species in eastern North America, passenger pigeons roamed the forests in giant flocks up to several billions of individuals for tens of thousands of years before their numbers were snuffed out.
The sheer number of these birds—in combination with their tree seed diets—fashioned them into one of the most important ecosystem engineers of their time, "shaping the patchwork habitat dynamics that these forests relied upon, ecosystems now losing diversity without the passenger pigeon," said Ben Novak, a lead scientist at Revive & Restore.
"When the bird went extinct in 1914, it was a somber awakening of the power of industrial humanity to wipe out even the most abundant of natural resources," he said.
That's why Novak, working with a Californian Institute called Revive & Restore, is aiming to bring back the species and re-introduce it into its natural habitat—with the help of common pigeons and the power of CRISPR.
Why De-Extinction?
Novak is among a small group of "de-extinction" engineers, a relatively fringe group of scientists that hope to use genetic engineering to protect or revive iconic animal species ravaged by human activity.
To some, de-extinction is an ecological-sized guilt trip, a species-wide Pet Cemetery horror story ripe for disaster. Yes, biodiversity is important; but who is to say that an extinct species can adapt and survive in an ecological system that's moved on since its passing? Or perhaps more importantly, what if newly-revived animals—a true "invasive species" for Earth—cause more damage than good to our fragile ecosystem?
"Why go through the trouble" is something his team gets asked, said Novak. For passenger pigeons, the answer is simple: recently, almost a millennium after their man-driven extinction, we finally understand the critical role they played in shaping the eastern North American ecosphere.
So far, researchers have found that passenger pigeons originated over 12 million years ago, and were exceptionally evolved to live in dense flocks. These new insights, combined with a study of forest ecology, clearly show that these birds were key engineers of forest dynamics.
This central role suggests that passenger pigeons are far more than an extinction sob-story poster child. "Bringing back the passenger pigeon will restore the dynamic forest regeneration cycles that dozens of presently declining plant and animal species need to thrive," said Novak.
"Passenger pigeon isn't simply a model species; it quite possibly is the most important species for the future of conserving eastern America's woodland biodiversity," he said.
The De-Extinction Play Book
As lead scientist of "The Great Passenger Pigeon Comeback" project, Novak adopted a holistic approach to de-extinction.
It's a two-step process: first, the extinct species needs to be revived from the dead. Second, the re-introduction of the species to the environment has to be carefully assessed.
We already have similar examples for the second step, explained Novak. Reintroducing species into areas where they were extirpated is decades-old science, and scientists have seen successes such as the wolves in Yellowstone, elk in Kentucky, or the beaver in Scotland. The end goal here is to weigh the risks of doing versus not doing: what would happen to the ecology if we're completely hands-off.
In the case of the passenger pigeon, the outcome for its re-introduction is likely either neutral—meaning it would just become another bird in the forest with no measurable impact—or positive to the survival of other species.
Either way, the odds seem to be in Novak's favor.
The first requirement—bringing the dead back to life—is a much newer science. But thanks to a little tool called CRISPR, de-extinctionists see a way forward.
Here's the crux: unlike Jurassic Park, scientists are not trying to completely revive an animal based solely on its DNA.
Rather, the team is taking a find-and-replace approach: starting from your average scavenger pigeon on city streets, they plan to incorporate genes specific to passenger pigeons into modern-day cousins—the band-tail pigeon. By selectively breeding the gene-animals, the team hopes to concentrate the newly-incorporated genes in offspring, thus nudging these "living surrogates" toward passenger pigeons on a genetic level.
With enough generations, we may have a curious, man-made species with DNA indistinguishable from the dead animals they are modeled after. Exactly when a hybrid animal becomes a passenger pigeon is a philosophical question that plagues all de-extinction movements.
It's a strategy that most de-extinction efforts adopt. But Novak's team already has a leg up.
Compared to the dodo, for example, "there is usable DNA because there are more stuffed passenger pigeons resting in museum drawers and private collections than any other extinct bird," said Novak. Adding the fact that we have access to band-tail pigeons and understand their reproductive patterns, "the science of revival seemed as though it should fall into place with the right innovation and perseverance."
De-Extinction in Practice
Since 2012, Novak's team has perhaps made greater strides than any other de-extinction project.
First, in a series of papers and collaborations, the team unveiled bit-by-bit the critical impact passenger pigeons had on their ecosystem, and answered the age-old question of how their numbers dwindled rapidly from billions to none. The CliffsNotes version: the birds evolved to adapt exquisitely to life in a large population. Although they might have been able to bounce back from low genetic diversity, human hunting drove the final nail into their coffin.
These studies together help inform the passenger pigeon comeback. Novak explained that according to these results, we first need to give band-tail pigeons the necessary mutations that will make them breed in the way that passenger pigeons did, to support them to live in high-social densities. Next we'll have to give the birds the necessary adaptations to live in high densities efficiently, for example, traits that allow them to be more sensitive towards social cues or rapid juvenile growths, so they place less strain on parenting efforts at high numbers.
The advent of CRISPR changed everything. For the first time, Novak and team have access to a relatively simple and cheap gene editing tool that allows them to tinker with the common pigeon's DNA.
So far, they've tried several approaches to increase the efficiency of the tool. The best way is to directly edit a pigeon's sperm or egg, because those edits will be passed on to the next generation. The problem? Scientists so far haven't been able to grow those cells in a test-tube.
Next best thing: inject the DNA editing tool—along with the necessary edits—into an embryo. But scientists ran into problems here too: they had to rely on viruses to deliver the CRISPR machinery, which makes the package too large to be safely injected.
To get around these roadblocks, Novak's team focused their efforts on making an entirely new line of pigeons, each harboring genetic material that allows for easier DNA editing.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a double-step process, explained Novak. The CRISPR part hones in on the target DNA, whereas the Cas9 does the actual snipping. Birds bred with Cas9 in every cell essentially have part of a functional gene editing tool within their bodies, making it much easier to deliver the other necessary components.
"In the next three years the world may see the first genetic traits of the passenger pigeon revived in living, breathing birds," said Novak.
And if everything goes as planned, in the next two decades we'll witness—for the first time—the revival of an extinct species. Dodo birds and woolly mammoths may follow. In time, extinction could be a thing of the past—for better or worse.

I am told that Notts can't raise a team for the Open match v G Man 29 January
Due to fixture clashes elsewhere, we can't find a new date
Looks like Notts record will be 2 defaults and 1 postponed and it isn't looking good for them to play the postponed match
Pity, given this is their first foray into the Open section, but I do wonder whether 12 boards for the MCCU Union Stage would make more sense

I think 16 is fine; every other county seems to be able to raise 16 players. Why not Nottinghamshire?
12 months ago, Nottinghamshire had 2 4NCL teams, so they probably had 12-16 players who were willing to play. What's happened to them?
I would hope Nottinghamshire are disqualified from the Open if this match isn't played. It would be unfair for Staffordshire to play them, given every other county would have a 16-0 win against them!
I'm also confused about the time you're hearing this. There's still three weeks to go until the match gets played. I would have thought that left plenty of time to either raise a team - even if not very strong - or find someone to raise it on their behalf if the current captain is ill or something?
Post by Mick Norris » Mon Jan 10, 2011 11:05 am
They can't raise a team so I'm guessing they will default v Staffs as well - we need to reserve and pay for a neutral venue, hence they have given notice
G Man only raised 12 for our last fixture and 15 for the one before
Nether Warks nor Staffs are that strong on the bottom 4 boards
12 would allow more counties to compete (like the NCCU have tried in the past) and they can then move to 16 for the ECF stages

Mick Norris wrote: I do wonder whether 12 boards for the MCCU Union Stage would make more sense
Certainly 12-a side would make it easier to raise teams for the Midlands qualifying stages, but it would not help Midland counties once they had qualified and Midlands teams may not be able to field as strong teams as previously. Another disadvantage for some counties may be that the cost of the venue and refreshments would be shared by fewer, thus probably leading to an increase in board fees that could reduce participation.
What do others in the Midlands think? - Ray
The MCCU currently has 11 counties affiliated. This season, only Northamptonshire and Herefordshire didn't enter. Herefordshire will probably never enter; they're too small. Northamptonshire I don't know anything about, so can't comment. Apart from that, every county has entered the MCCU Open sections this year, so it doesn't look like a major problem for them. Looking through all of the 16-man divisions, it's very rare that there are defaults if you ignore Greater Manchester and Nottinghamshire.
I think Greater Manchester's problem isn't with players, it's with scheduling. I don't know how MCCU fixtures are scheduled, but I assume they're done at the AGM by the people from the county who attend. You've had lots of clashes with other congresses. Assuming it's done at the AGM, it might be wise in future for the GM representatives to take a list of local congresses with them to fixture meetings, and try to schedule appropriately. If the congresses are organised after the fixture meeting, then again make the organisers aware of county matches, and organise as appropriate. GM has lots of congresses compared to other areas, which can make scheduling a bit of a pain. You've mentioned that your two matches so far have clashed with congresses, so that might be something you look into. (Independent research has revealed your captain has preferred to play in the congresses too!)
I've played 6 16-board matches for Worcestershire, and we've never defaulted a board. Perhaps Worcestershire is just blessed with having fantastic team organisers.
I wonder if Notts have tested whether there are keen juniors who would be delighted to represent their county in the Open? My first foray into county chess was when I was picked to represent Gloucestershire when I was 12. It doesn't usually do much for the score line (and it didn't for Glos!), but it stimulated my interest in playing county chess. Also a team might get press coverage if a player is very young. - Ray

I wish you were right about Worcs, but sometimes the odd default is unavoidable with sudden illness or transport failure.

Nottinghamshire have quite a few good young players: http://grading.bcfservices.org.uk/getco ... 0CA&sort=2
Daniel Lin, Andrew Garside, Oliver Exton, Eric Williamson and Mark Kenyon wouldn't disgrace themselves in the Open. They could even play in the Under 160 team. Of course I don't know their availability, but they have promising players!
Nottinghamshire is blessed with having Nottingham High - one of the strongest chess schools in the country - and Nottingham University, whose President plays for them already. These are two potential links to find new players.
I know Warwickshire's Open captain has asked me to suggest strong juniors and students from Aston University. These players were the top two boards in their game against Greater Manchester. Worcestershire's teams have a strong youth contingent; the U140 team I play in has three players younger than me in it! Two of them have played in the Open section. So some counties are putting younger players in county teams, which can only be a good thing.

Absolutely, but the problem Mick talks about seems to be a fundamental number of players absent doing something else chess-related, rather than unforeseen circumstances. I guess I meant that Worcestershire have not defaulted one board in the matches I've played through not having 16 names on the teamsheet.

The fixtures are scheduled by the MCCU county champs controller. He takes into account known dates such as 4NCL and big local congresses as well as public holidays etc, as well as fixture clashes (so he won't schedule a county to play U160 and U140 on the same day). Each county has the opportunity to request that certain dates be avoided (perhaps because of a local congress, or god forbid big football match).

Our list of weekends we can't raise a team because of clashes is greater than the number of weekends we have to play either Open or U160, hence we are forced to play on the "wrong" dates - the annoying thing is that 29 Jan is our only "right" date at Open level, and Notts can't make it

right, so that was your fault!
Post by Alex Holowczak » Mon Jan 10, 2011 6:55 pm
The way of scheduling fixtures seems sensible.
The MCF maybe needs to sort this out then. It seems to me you have three options:
1) Status quo. Open/U160, never field a strong team because of other chess events.
2) Abandon one of the teams, to enable enough free weekends to be available.
3) Persuade congresses affiliated to the MCF (or in the MCF region) to run earlier in the season, to free up some weekends to allow you to field two teams.
Personally, I'd be inclined to keep your Open team, and reduce your Under 160 team down to an Under 140 team. Given you're usually struggling to field teams of 16 in the Open, your newly excluded Under 160 players could find a regular home in your Open team on the lower boards. A new Under 140 team might reach the lower levels a bit better. I don't know what the situation in the MCF is, and whether this is possible, but I thought I'd throw a suggestion out. The 16-board team seems to be a unique problem to the MCF, so it's probably something that its President should investigate.
You can't complain about their top 2 players when you lose 11.5-4.5.
The other issue with 12-man teams that just occurred to me; most counties would have the capacity to field extra teams. They probably won't, because where do your extra volunteers to organise them come from?

The problem is the the majority of congresses in the MCF region are normally affliated with the NCCU, so it is very unlikely that they will move their tournaments to help the MCCU

Yes. Under the Time tab of any task there is a repeat option that does exactly that.
What about a task that is 5 days a week, no weekends?
That's also supported. You can set Weekdays and Weekends.
One thing that would be super helpful would be the ability to attach document. As an attorney, I will draft documents that needs to be emailed, filed or reviewed on certain days and i'll have phone calls to discuss a document. Would be perfect if instead of taking a pic of doc and attaching, I could attach the doc itself. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback. This is indeed on our list!
The All Day section on the Day view of the calendar can be expanded. You can determine the size that fits you and it will stay like that.
Thanks for the clarification. We are working on allowing the dragging on the day view too.
Is there a way to share notes in the app?
Yes, there is. When you tap on any note, then go to the Group tab, you can add email address of other people you'd like to share the note with. The note will then be shared with them. For best experience, the people you share with should also have 24me installed. Then, the notes you share with them will be listed in their 24me.
You can actually use ANY calendar app you'd like on your Mac and it will sync events with 24me.
When you enter the address, do you choose from one of the options suggested by 24me?
Hiya! Im struggling with my calendar the colours wont change. Its all blue or clear. Please can someone help me its driving me insaine.
Hello! to change the color of event, you can go to the Apple calendar app, click on the Calendars button at the bottom of the screen, and from there, find the calendar account of your meetings and change its color. The new color will be shown in 24me.
1.how do i sync tasks, it shows all the catagories i have created in ios, but how do i delete a category from 24me, when its already deleted from ios.
2. is 24me sync'd across all ios calendar, notes, to do, email, etc any calendar, etc. i have setup on my ios device.
3. where is everything backup and stored at.
1. To delete a category (a label), tap on any task, then go to its Labels tab, and from there, swipe on the label you'd like to delete and delete it.
2. Yes, 24me syncs all your calendar account which are set on the device.
Your notes are backed up on the 24me servers and can currently be accessed from any device where 24me is installed.
I have similar questions…Is there any way to access and edit my tasks and notes (not my calendar) through my PC with 24me? With which task or note apps does 24me currently sync (not just allow an import)? Is there an expected date of 24me syncing with Google Tasks?
24me tasks can be synced with Apple's Reminders. Note are currently not synced with Apple's Notes app since Apple doesn't permit such sync.
Are my notes ever stored on my ios device, i hope so, and where would that be?
Your notes are stored inside 24me on the device.
Does this have location alerts??
This is something which is on the roadmap. Please stay tuned!
Yes. And until our Mac version is ready, you can use any calendar app you'd like on your Mac and it will sync with 24me.
You can control which calendar account are listed in 24me. TO do that go to Menu > Settings > Calendar > Visible Calendars.
I think I have a cant do question. I use Calendly and SquareUp for my client meetings. I'm finding that I am setting appointments/tasks in 24me that never make it into my source email (main email that feeds my Calendly and SquareUp availibiity). How can I fix that? if at all. I think you are going to tell me to enter them in my main email – bomber. but ok.
Events/meetings entered in 24me are stored on the calendar account you choose. You can control which calendar account to use on the Calendars tab of events. Then, all apps, including the Apple calendar app, list those events in case they are connected with that calendar account.
Thank you. I found the problem. 24me is defaulted with a different email address. So it was not placed on the calendar I needed it to be.
I reallly love this app. I have a question. Can I use twnetyfour things on my desktop?
Thanks. Desktop support is something we plan to add.

The Wild Turkey Roost was amazing. Three floors with plenty of room for everyone. Loved the foosball table and two fireplaces. Can't wait to come back!
This place is awesome! My fiancé and I stayed here in December to celebrate a romantic quiet Christmas and we were not disappointed. We stayed at the Wild Turkey Roost and were pleasantly surprised by how much space there was inside. We were told it was recently taken over by new ownership and they did some updating inside. The basement was a fun hangout, with the gas fireplace and foosball table. They also had some board games down there for us to play. The upstairs had beautiful views and provided the perfect spot for us to just cuddle up and relax. I usually have a hard time sleeping on beds that aren't our own, but I actually did just fine here, they were comfortable. The WiFi was fine too, we were able to stream Netflix and both be on our devices with no issue. My fiancé and I also did some fun exploring hiking up to the rocks on the top of the property behind the house and it was beautiful! Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be going back.

Riff Relevant Premiere: THE WATCHERS 'Believer' – A Faithful Start To 2019 w/ Ozzy Classic
January 1, 2019 January 6, 2019 Pat 'Riot' Whitaker
Article By: Pat 'Riot' Whitaker, Senior Writer/Journalist ‡ Edited By: Leanne Ridgeway, Owner/Chief Editor
California-based heavy rock band THE WATCHERS are starting the new year in the very best way possible, with new music. Well, in this case, "new" like, right now this minute, as the band takes on an Ozzy Osbourne classic.
"Believer" dates back to 1981's sophomore album outing from the Ozz-man, 'Diary Of A Madman', and was originally recorded by Osbourne, guitarist Randy Rhoads, drummer Lee Kerslake, and bassist Bob Daisley. It would be the last recorded work of Randy Rhoads, of course, who was tragically killed in an airplane accident just four months after its release.
Now another quartet, one from the contemporary age of music, THE WATCHERS – vocalist Tim Narducci, guitarist Jeremy Von Epp, bassist Chris "Cornbread" Lombardo, and drummer Carter Kennedy – add their unique touch to the song. The guys stay pretty close to the original version, keeping things true in their playing results in the channeling of this ode to self-empowerment a steadfast and serious affair.
THE WATCHERS recorded "Believer" while in the studio laying down their most recent album, the critically acclaimed 'Black Abyss', released via Ripple Music in March 2018. Although the band's Tim Narducci produced the stand alone "Believer" single, their latest full-length record has its very own connection to the landmark Ozzy outing, 'Diary Of A Madman'. Though the span of time between the pair of releases is a couple years short of four decades, the same man sat behind the boards producing them both, the famed Max Norman.
I asked Tim how their recording of "Believer" came about, he replied:
"This was an outtake during the "Black Abyss" recording sessions. "Believer" was a song we jammed when we first got the band together and have always loved playing it live. We hope you dig our interpretation of this killer classic."
Here is your shot to do exactly that as Riff Relevant is excited to share THE WATCHERS' version of "Believer". Enjoy it below and of course, have a Happy New Year in 2019!

BIO: Hello all, I'm Vicki Bridges otherwise known as Mizbizibee. Even though I love digi, I'm also a paper artist and have been for years. I teach rubber stamping classes, art journaling and card making in central Oklahoma. After recovering from back surgery in 2011 I decided to do something that wasn't work related and just for me. I made the move to return to memory keeping after a five year break and do it digi style this time. I purchased Photoshop Elements then after a brief Google search I found the Daily Digi. I seriously doubt a day goes by that I don't consult the Daily Digi. I live in central Oklahoma with my ever-faithful and never-boring hubby Tom and our extended family that includes two grand kiddlets live nearby.
Templates, they are a great time saving springboard and don't be afraid to make them your own. I like neutral papers, brushes are a must, ribbons and word art is huge for me. Word art will make me buy the kit every time!
I'm rather eclectic without a lot of embellishment but first and for most I rely on good design. I want balance and yet a nice flow from one design element to another. The photos and journaling are the stars and I want them to shine, digi embellishments should only play a supporting role and never overpower the photos and story.
Queen Ali reigns supreme and I have learn volumes from her and her classes. I'm admirer of Cathy Zielske and Katie Pertiet even though their styles are such opposites.
TDD has taught me so much about the art of memory keeping and working in Photoshop Elements. But it goes deeper, as a working artist TDD has helped me to feel connected with other artists and inspired even though my day job is in actual paper verse digi paper. To be a part of this community is a privilege and yes I admit it, a validation of my work. I have found the mother ship!

Joint vow to rebuild Notre Dame
A firefighter talks on his cellphone outside Notre Dame Cathedral April 16, 2019, after a fire broke out in Paris. Officials said the cause was not clear, but that the April 15 blaze could be linked to renovation work. PHOTO: CNS/Paul Haring
The president of France and the archbishop of Paris have vowed to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral after a devastating fire, continuing what a professor of architecture described as the natural lifecycle of a historic building.
Steven W. Semes, a professor and director of graduate studies in the Historic Preservation Program at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, said he was as shocked and pained as everyone watching on television as the building burned April 15.
Related article: 8 facts about Notre Dame Cathedral
"Like all historic monuments," he said, Notre Dame Cathedral is "the result of hundreds and hundreds of years of development" with an initial idea, a long and labour-intensive construction process, design changes, additions, demolitions and remodeling over and over again as fashions and usages change.
So, from the initial construction, which began in 1160, the cathedral "was transformed multiple times," he told Catholic News Service in Rome, where he regularly teaches. When one looked at Notre Dame before the fire, "we weren't seeing the cathedral as it was built, we were seeing it through layers of change."
"Buildings and cities do change through time," Semes said. "We wouldn't go see a painting by Rembrandt that four people had painted over, but we look at almost any historic building and we see something that has been restored multiple times — sometimes restored in a way very faithful to an early state and sometimes not."

"One thing about buildings and cities is that they are more like natural phenomena than other art works. Think of a forest. You can have a fire in a forest, but then it comes to life again," he said. "Buildings are resilient."
"Hope springs from seeing monuments that have endured," even though they almost never remain unchanged, Semes said.

"A lot of people are feeling today, 'We can't do it again' or 'It can't be restored,'" and while that would be true of a painting, the professor said, "we do have the skills to restore this building."
"Obviously, a big fire has a big impact," he said, but even for nonbelievers, there is a sensitivity to the fact that Notre Dame Cathedral was not just a treasure of Gothic architecture.
"Notre Dame was truly a work of devotion," he said. "Think about it — how large the building was compared to everything else in the city, the attention, the loving care that went into making it, ornamenting it and maintaining it. This is truly an act of devotion; it is a kind of sacramental."

The building as a church "speaks to people," whether they are believers, he said, pointing to similar reactions in 2015 when a massive earthquake in Nepal toppled Buddhist statues and monuments. "We feel these things even if we are not personally involved in that particular tradition."
The key to understanding Notre Dame Cathedral was summarised by Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit in a television interview in the wee hours of April 16: "Why was this beauty built? What jewel was this case meant to contain? Not the crown of thorns (a relic saved from the fire), but a piece of bread that we believe is the body of Christ."
Pope Francis, in a message April 16 to Archbishop Aupetit, expressed his solidarity with the sadness of Parisians, calling Notre Dame "an architectural jewel of a collective memory, the gathering place for many major events, the witness of the faith and prayer of Catholics in the city".
The pope also expressed his confidence that the cathedral would be rebuilt and continue its vocation as "a sign of the faith of those who built it, the mother church of your diocese, (and) the architectural and spiritual heritage of Paris, France and humanity".

Antoine-Marie Izoard, editor of the French Catholic magazine Famille Chretienne, told CNS, "That this happened at the beginning of Holy Week makes it even more striking and calls us to Christian hope."
"Last night, Catholics, members of other religions and nonbelievers united around this strong symbol in the heart of Paris," he said April 16. "It was very striking to see Catholics praying around the cathedral for the firefighters battling the flames."
Add to that French President Emmanuel Macron's determination to rebuild, he said, and "we realise once again that the Christian roots of the country are still at the heart of France."
Italian Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, told reporters April 16 that while Notre Dame, like other French cathedrals, is state property, "it remains a living creature in which the liturgy is celebrated, encounters of faith occur and even nonbelievers enter to make a tour of beauty."
The prayerful, tearful public vigils that took place as the fire burned, he said, demonstrated how "the great cathedrals and basilicas really are living bodies".
And, the cardinal said, Notre Dame is not just a living sign of religiosity, but is "the heart, the beating heart" of Paris.

The Novodevichy Convent, in south-western Moscow, built in the 16th and 17th centuries in the so-called Moscow Baroque style, was part of a chain of monastic ensembles that were integrated into the defence system of the city. The convent was directly associated with the political, cultural and religious history of Russia, and closely linked to the Moscow Kremlin. It was used by women of the Tsar's family and the aristocracy. Members of the Tsar's family and entourage were also buried in its cemetery. The convent provides an example of the highest accomplishments of Russian architecture with rich interiors and an important collection of paintings and artefacts.
Ensemble du couvent Novodievitchi
Le couvent Novodievitchi, au sud-ouest de Moscou, fut édifié durant le XVIe et le XVIIe siècle dans le style baroque moscovite. Il faisait partie d'un ensemble monastique s'inscrivant dans le système de défense de la ville. Le couvent a été directement associé à l'histoire politique, culturelle et religieuse de la Russie, et plus étroitement encore au Kremlin de Moscou. Il était fréquenté par des femmes de la famille du tsar et de l'aristocratie. Des membres de la famille et de l'entourage du tsar reposent dans son cimetière. Le couvent offre un des exemples les plus brillants de l'architecture russe, avec ses intérieurs richement ornés et une vaste collection de peintures et d'objets précieux.

Ансамбль Новодевичьего монастыря (Москва)
Новодевичий монастырь, расположенный на юго-западе Москвы, создавался на протяжении XVI-XVII столетий и являлся одним из звеньев в цепочке монастырских ансамблей, объединенных в оборонную систему города. Монастырь был тесно связан с политической, культурной и религиозной жизнью России, а также с Московским Кремлем. Здесь были пострижены в монахини и погребены представительницы царской фамилии, знатных боярских и дворянских родов. Ансамбль Новодевичьего монастыря является одним из шедевров русского зодчества (стиль «московское барокко»), а его интерьеры, где хранятся ценные коллекции живописи и произведений декоративно-прикладного искусства, отличаются богатым внутренним убранством.
Conjunto conventual de Novodevichy
Edificado en los siglos XVI y XVII, en estilo barroco moscovita, el Convento de Novodevichy, situado al suroeste de Moscú, fue uno de los tantos eslabones de la cadena de monasterios que formaban parte del sistema defensivo de la ciudad. Este convento estuvo directamente vinculado a la historia política, cultural y religiosa de Rusia, y mantuvo sobre todo lazos muy estrechos con el Kremlin de Moscú, ya que fue frecuentado por mujeres de la familia del zar y de la aristocracia. Algunos miembros y allegados de la familia del zar fueron enterrados en su cementerio. El convento es uno de los más bellos ejemplos de las realizaciones de la arquitectura rusa y en sus aposentos ricamente decorados alberga una importante colección de pinturas y obras de arte.

Het Novodevichy klooster ligt in het zuidwesten van Moskou. Het is gebouwd in de 16e en 17e eeuw in de zogenoemde barokstijl van Moskou en maakte deel uit van een keten van kloostercomplexen. Het klooster werd direct in verband gebracht met de politieke, culturele en religieuze geschiedenis van Rusland en was nauw verbonden met het Kremlin in Moskou. Het complex werd gebruikt door vrouwen van de familie van de tsaar en de adel en op de begraafplaats van het klooster zijn familieleden en verwanten van de tsaar begraven. Het Novodevichy klooster toont hoogstaande Russische architectuur, met overdadige interieurs en belangrijke collecties schilderijen en kunstvoorwerpen.
Ensemble of the Novodevichy Convent © OUR PLACE The World Heritage Collection
The Novodevichy Convent, situated in the south-western part of the historic town of Moscow at the crossing of the Moscow River, was founded by Grand Duke Vasily III in the 1520s and was a part of a chain of monastic ensembles that were integrated into the defence system of the city. It is an outstanding example of Orthodox architecture. The ensemble consists of 14 buildings, including 8 cathedrals (a shrine, 4 churches, a belfry with the Barlaam and Josaphat church and two chapels) and a number of residential and service buildings. The monastery is sometimes called "the Moscow Kremlin in miniature". Its oldest building is a stone cathedral dedicated to the Icon of the Mother God of Smolensk built in 1524–1525 after the fashion of the Assumption Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin.
The Convent is the only ancient nunnery which served as a fortress at the same time. In the 16th-18th centuries the nunnery was the chosen convent for women from the tsarist dynasty as well as the wealthy boyar and nobility families to take the veil. The Novodevichy Convent had close links to the Kremlin and is closely linked to the political, cultural and religious history of Russia, to major historic events and to important historic figures of the Russian state. These include Ivan the Terrible, Boris Godunov and the Time of Trouble of early 17th century, the father of Peter the Great, Alexey Michailovich as well as his daughter Princess Sofia Alekseevna and her struggle for power with the incoming Emperor Peter I, and the Patriotic War against Napoleon in 1812.
The elite nature of the convent means that it contains examples of the highest class of architecture with rich interiors. Built in the late 17th century, the monastery is one of the most outstanding and representative examples of the so-called "Moscow Baroque", having retained its integrity better than any of the other rebuilt monasteries in Moscow.
The Convent is a major centrepiece of the south-western part of the historic town of Moscow and the Moscow River, and has a high town-planning value. Even though the character of the city's urban surroundings has greatly changed, the Convent still remains an integral part of the landscape, unlike other monastic complexes.
The Convent is enclosed by a high masonry wall with twelve towers and with entrance gates to the north and south. It has two major planning axes and its main focal point, the Smolensky Cathedral, is located at their crossing. It is dedicated to the highest shrine of Russian Orthodoxy, the Icon of the Mother God of Smolensk "Hodigitria" and is the Convent's oldest stone building. The interior of the Cathedral is unique in respect of its performance, riot of colour and well-preserved wall paintings of the late 16th century which were created during the reign of Boris Godunov. Completely persevered is the wooden-framed five-tier iconostasis, typical of Moscow Baroque and created in 1683-1685, with its decorated gold-coated carvings.
Among other major buildings of the Convent is the Bell Tower built in 1683-1690. It has no analogues among ancient Russian convents or among other buildings of Moscow Baroque style. Due to its great height (72m), unusual disposition, elegant proportions and beautiful decorations, the belfry has always been the main vertical element of the whole western part of the historic town of Moscow thus contributing to the Convent's town-planning value.
The Necropolis of the Novodevichy Convent was initiated in the 16th century and developed in the following centuries as a burial place for the nobility and honourable citizens. From 1898 a new cemetery outside the south wall of the Convent was used as a burial place for the most outstanding Russian intellectuals as well as political and military figures. It is one of the most eminent historic necropolises preserved in Russia.
Criterion (i): The Novodevichy Convent is the most outstanding example of the so-called "Moscow Baroque", which became a fashionable style in the region of Moscow. Apart from its fine architecture and decorative details, the site is characterised by its town-planning values.
Criterion (iv): The Novodevichy Convent is an outstanding example of an exceptionally well preserved monastic complex, representing particularly the "Moscow baroque" style in the architecture of the late 17th century.
Criterion (vi): The Novodevichy Convent ensemble integrates the political and cultural nature of the existing World Heritage property of Moscow Kremlin. It is itself closely related to Russian Orthodoxy, as well as with Russian history especially in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Novodevichy Convent ensemble possesses all the necessary details and attributes to express its Outstanding Universal Value. It has preserved its original size which differentiates it from other ancient Russian convents.
The Convent has remained untouched mainly due to its use as a museum in the 20th century, while other ensembles were misused or just ruined. The ensemble's composition, its buildings and historic graves have been conserved.
The integrity of the ensemble is provided by approved boundaries of the property and its buffer zone. Among adverse factors there is intensive road traffic close by, resulting in air pollution, as well as possible building activity within the buffer zone that may have a bad impact on the ensemble's historic layout in the city space.
The Novodevichy Convent is authentic in that it has not undergone destruction or rebuilding. Moreover, the complex has integrally preserved its general layout as well as its individual buildings. It has also been returned to a function close to its original one. The sacral buildings today fulfil a liturgical function, the monastic structures are inhabited by monks and the ostentatious residential buildings now fulfil cultural functions as a museum.
Throughout its existence the ensemble's buildings have been restored several times. In 1890–1900 the architect S.K Rodionov performed restoration works for the Convent. In cooperation with I.P. Mashkov, a famous architect and a researcher of Old Russian architecture, S.K. Rodionov restored Smolensky Cathedral and cleaned oil paints off the mural paintings.
The ensemble has been subject to restoration in the late 20th century, but this has not involved replication. The restoration was preceded by thorough examination of the monuments. The restoration process by the architect N.C.Romanov was characterized by a high standard of scientific excellence and reliability. Regular restoration and conservation, work together with monitoring performed by authorized bodies, provide for preservation of authenticity.
The Novodevichy Convent ensemble is a historical and cultural monument of federal importance that is protected by the government (Federal Law of 25.06.2002 No 73-FZ "On cultural heritage sites (historical and cultural monuments) of nations of the Russian Federation"). In conformity with the Russian Federation Presidential Decree it is included among especially protected cultural properties of nations of the Russian Federation. Its status as an outstanding cultural property of the Russian Federation assigned to it in 2013, allows provision of the highest level of legal protection of related monuments.
Approval of the protected buffer zone of the Novodevichy Convent ensemble plays a decisive role in the preservation of landscape visual integrity and contributes to the preservation of unity of the property and the environment under conditions of constant development. Great attention should be paid to the establishment of effective coordination between the authorities and local cultural community, to agreeing an appropriate development strategy planning for the property, to the issues of historical landscape protection, and to the development of cultural and historical destinations of the Novodevichy Convent ensemble. It is urgent to identify specific features of the important sites of the property and to establish legal forms of their use.
The Management Plan for the World Heritage property "Ensemble of the Novodevichy Convent" will be an important tool for the conservation of Outstanding Universal Value and coordination of all stakeholders. Currently the monuments of the ensemble are in the free use of the Moscow Eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church which assists the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation in the monitoring, reservation and restoration of the property. The buildings of the ensemble are equipped with video surveillance as well as fire and security signal systems. Before receiving state financing, the protection and maintenance expenses for the property are born by the Moscow Eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church.
A long-term strategy defines the means of protection and management focused on preventing serious threats to the property, reducing its vulnerability and the possibility of negative changes to the authenticity and integrity of the ensemble. These include the following: an effective joint legal management system and cooperation of key stakeholders which include municipal, regional, federal, non-governmental and religious organizations, funds, academic and educational institutions as well as local population; resources management; an innovative combination of conservation, restoration, museumification and sustainable development of the property's territory; the activity of the Moscow Eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church Museum; the creation of educational programs; a rapid introduction of cultural, scientific and pilgrimage tourism; as well as combining traditional and innovative methods of conservation and the presentation of the Outstanding Universal Value of the Ensemble of the Novodevichy Convent.

I love the educational training videos from the 1940s to 1960s. They have a good "real America" vibe to them that would have pleased John Ford and Frank Capra.
Given the Republican Party's kitchen sink approach to political scandals--and now mainstreaming of the suggestion that Obama was using cocaine during the Benghazi tragedy--they too would benefit from watching some of those classic PSA's.
The films on dating, courting girls, and the dangers of "the homosexual" would serve to either clarify the Tea Party GOP's worldview or offer them some guidance on how to be better political partners who can answer the question "what have you done for me lately?" for a public beyond the Koch brothers and the 1 percent.
The documentary Crisis in Levittown would also serve as a potent recruitment video for the herrenvolk White Right who are the base of the Republican Party. With some snazzy computer graphics that added in some "Mexicans" and "Mooslems", a Crisis in Levittown could be a perennial classic for the Tea Party GOP.
Elder scion of the traditional Republican Party (what existed before the Tea Party GOP political meth was mainlined a few years go) Bob Dole also thinks that the Republican Party could benefit from watching one of those old educational videos from the World War 2 era.
"I think they ought to put a sign on the [Republican] national committee doors that says 'closed for repairs' until New Year's Day next year and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas," Dole said.
Asked whether Republicans of years past, many of whom had a more diplomatic approach to compromise and governance than today's Republicans, would be able to make it in the modern GOP, Dole said, "I doubt it."
"Reagan wouldn't have made it. Certainly Nixon couldn't have made it, because he had ideas," he explained. "We might have made it, but I doubt it."
And much of the blame for the gridlock, Dole said, rests with a fractious Congress that seems more interested in partisan drama than doing its job.
"It seems to be almost unreal that we can't get together on a budget or legislation," Dole said, comparing today's Congress unfavorably with the institution in which he served for decades. "We weren't perfect by a long shot, but at least we got our work done."
The Senate, Dole said, is in particularly dire need of a fix.
While it's not quite broken, it's "bent really badly," he said. "As [former Senate leader] Howard Baker said, 'Running the Senate is like herding cats.' But it takes leadership. Somebody has to stand up and say, 'We're going to do this.'"
Dole said there is "no doubt" Republicans have abused the filibuster by erecting a record number of procedural hurdles during President Obama's tenure. "There are some cases we can probably justify it, but not many," he said.
Given that he was a military man during World War 2, Senator Dole was likely quite familiar with characters such as "Private Snafu" who exemplified exactly how a soldier, sailor, airmen, or marine was not supposed to proceed in their tasks. Dole knows that the Republican Party is a stinking latrine that needs to be cleaned properly so that it will cease to be a menace to public health. Unfortunately, its members, media elites, and party leadership are determined to pretend that everything is spotless and clean.
As Paul Krugman pointed out in the New York Times, there is no corrective for the Tea Party GOP's politics, and how they are hurting the American people (as well as the conservative "brand name") because its members exist in their own reality and self-sustaining media echo chamber wherein empirical reality is twisted and changed in the service of talking-points and other ideologically driven fictions.
What is a country to do with a political party full of zealots and Private Snafus? Is generational replacement the only answer, or will the adults in the room have to empty the Republican Party's political latrine for them?
As long as poor whites see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires and their economic failures as the fault of "minorities", the republican party will not change. The republicans did not anticipate President Obama's re-election. Word on the financial message boards was that he would be allowed to "Carter" the country and take the blame for sorry state of Union. Then the republicans would send one of their robber barons in to take over, ie..Mitt Romney. But, something funny happened on the way to the forum--youth, women, Latin and black voters had other ideas. Since then, in collusion with the millionaire media talking heads, the republicans have tried to tar President Obama with one fake scandal brush after another. Have you noticed that Social Security is not called Franklin D. Roosevelt government pension plan or Medicare and Medicaid is not called Lyndon B. Johnson medical care plan? In time, what is now called Obama care will have a different name. The question is, will George Bush be our last republican president?
Bob Dole's one to talk. He teamed up with Gingrich to obstruct Clinton in the 90s. Dole should be proud that his seeds are doing what they're supposed to do.
Bob Dole didn't condemn Lee Atwater and his methods as long as the Republicans were gaining power.
Politicians are still politicians...they find sainthood in their elder years.
Did he apologize for the Southern Strategy w. Melman (I believe?) after the fact?
The white working class and poor have been suckered in by race trumping class since at least Bacon's Rebellion. Ain't nothing changed. I consider them a lost cause; but again there is the old joke/truism that a Republican is a Democrat who was robbed; A Democrat is a Republican who lost their job. How will that play out long term w. the Great Recession and demographic shifts?
Will there be a politics of race and backlash that peters itself out or will there be a realignment? Some other outcome?
"the republicans have tried to tar President Obama with one fake scandal brush after another"
The scandals aren't fake. Just because they're out to get you doesn't mean you can do no wrong.
Dole's point is that in his era the GOP acted as a legitimate, fairly operating opposition. Not an immutable obstruction, as it is today. It is now an aberrant monstrosity in which, as he indicates, even Nixon and Reagan would be rejected as too far to the left.
Maybe if you kept up with the news, you will see Jon Karl apologizing and new information coming from the media outlets which clearly state the previous information was wrong.
As a conservative democrat, I don't have any complaints with the president except for a potential immigration bill containing a provision for amnesty. I come from a long line of conservative blacks that believe in standing on our own and I am not ashamed. A democrat is what the democratic party voters and contributors say he or she is--not what a few unreasonable, insatiable whiners say he or she is.
I live in the real, sober world where a man needs honest work to feed his family and put a roof over their heads. In my social circle in is clearly understand that parents are responsible for their children, not the government or the church. This rebel without a pause, no personal responsibility attitude is rampant in this country and in Europe.
You may want to educate yourself before making outlandish statements. The multi-millionaire, mostly white media will never give President Obama fair and balanced reporting. There will always be a subset of whites and blacks that will hate any black person who dares to accomplish something positive.
"As a conservative democrat, I don't have any complaints with the president"
That explains everything you've said or are likely to say. True believers UNITE!!!

Real scandals. Come now. Do you want to know if Obama was on the potty during the faux Benghazi scandal? Or this IRS mess--where they were doing their jobs? Let's spend time on serious and real matters such as targeted killings, spying on citizens, and the roleback of posse comitatus, etc. etc.
Obama derangement syndrome has got you again.
One of the big shocks to Dole re his party was when he found the GOP torpedoes ratification of a simple treaty to give people worldwide with disabilities the same "general rights" as those without. He had labored and campaigned for it, obviously felt there was nothing insane or offensive in the matter and even appeared before the Senate in his wheelchair to give a speech in support. The GOP immediately voted it down under the harebrained Tea Party world belief that every treaty, or anything from, the UN, is something to undermine American "freedom." In this specific case, that the UN would interfere in the lives of disabled Americans at the state level. Even when he was crippled and implored them in person, they were without mercy.
What you can't read is the truth! You don't want to see white people in European society doing the same irresponsible things that some black people here blame on racism.
I remember that. They are cruel even to their own, eating the weak to feed the others.
OBama 'convinces people that imperial wars are liberating ones... Bailing out Wall Street lifts all boats...He went where no administration went before. He sold millions on shared sacrifice. He wants them sacrificed. Doing so gives rich elites more to share... He governs lawlessly. He convinces people might is right. He's money power's point man. He dismisses popular needs. They've gone begging on his watch.
He mocks legitimate governance... He reflects its dark side."
Irony thy name is devega.
The irony is that this is exactly what Obama and the Foe Dems are doing. Phony (pro-corporate) sick-folk-eating healthcare reform; cutting SS and food assistance programs for the poor; refusing to help the people losing their homes through the massive forclosure swindle while bailing out wall street. You must be craning your neck into a knot avoiding to see the glaring irony. I don't think I was out of line in pointing that out.
That is a fine observation; I also argue with it and have something for tomorrow or Thursday on just that matter already written up.
I am staying closer to my comment policy as we deviated from it a bit too much as of late here on WARN, i.e comments about the host that are not moving things forward.
I understand. I just thought that was a way of pointing out the irony without getting into the specific issues. I meant no offense, really. Just jabbing you a little bit. One thing I like about you is you can take a punch. Feel free to return the favor.
Half of the stock markets value was achieved since Obama took office. Since my family is invested, we are happy to have the money that comes from the doubling of our 401K and the increase in one of our bank stocks 30 times over. Me and my husbands dream of moving to acreage will become a reality. We are not rich elites, but the presidents investment in government infrastructure has put more money in our pockets because we work for a living. It's easy to focus on one man instead of the 434 members of the house of representatives and the 100 senators and the 9 people on the Supreme Court. It's also easy to blame one man for the decisions that people make about their lives. We are consumers and we create jobs. If we choose to spend all our consumer dollars on foreign goods, then we are the ones creating unemployment in this country--not the president. I don't own anything made by Apple and my computer was manufactured 18 miles from my home. When I shop, I look at country of origin because food is still grown in the country and many products are still made in the country. I shop at stores where at least some of the employees look like me. What do you do?
I heard the exact same thing from my 65 year old white, republican neighbor just before she voted for Romney.
I think for myself and don't get distracted by non sequiturs.

With Trent Barrett on "gardening leave", Manly coach Des Hasler has gone to work and announced the first re-signings under his second tenure at the NRL club — giant forwards Taniela Paseka and Addin Fonua-Blake.
Hasler has ensured he will boast one of the NRL's biggest packs for his second crack with the Sea Eagles reins after Paseka and Fonua-Blake inked new long term deals.
Hasler has begun to roll up his sleeves at Manly after being hired to take over at the NRL club following Barrett's decision to hand in his resignation, giving 12 months' notice back in July.
Barrett is currently being paid to stay away from Manly training but has been linked to the vacant Cronulla job.
The awkward situation has not stopped Hasler getting down to business, showing faith in Fonua-Blake and Paseka who chime into a pack also boasting fellow 110kg-plus wrecking balls Marty Taupau, Lloyd Perrett and Toafofoa Sipley.
"Addin can become one of the great Manly Warringah Sea Eagles front-rowers in its history," Hasler said.
"(And) Taniela is a willing learner and he has a lot of experience around him.
In a show of Hasler's faith, Tongan international Fonua-Blake, 23, was contracted until the end of 2020 but has re-signed until the end of 2022.
Fonua-Blake has played 60 NRL matches since his 2016 debut, including all 24 for Manly in 2018, averaging 126m a game.
The 120kg, 197cm Paseka, 21, was off contract in 2019 but has re-signed until the end of 2021.
He made his NRL debut in round six and went on to play 13 games.

Police: Three Juveniles Use Gun To Bully Autistic Boy In Viral Video
Filed Under:Local TV, Talkers
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (CBS Local) — Three juveniles are in police custody after a video surfaced showing a 13-year-old with a gun pointed at his head before being punched several times.
The video shows Derrin Weddle on his knees being taunted by a group of kids, demanding that he kisses a teen's foot. Someone then pulls out a pistol and holds it against his head. The first teen then tells Weddle to stand up before repeatedly punching him in the face.
"I didn't know if the gun was real or not," Weddle told KSHB. "All that was going through my mind is that if I got shot what would my brother feel, what would my mom feel."
Weddle's mother, Emily Bridges, says her son, who is on the autism spectrum, came home with bruises on Saturday but she didn't know what happened until her other son showed her the video.
"I was hurt," Bridges told WDAF. "I was angry. I was crying. I was mad. I was upset because he didn't defend himself."
Bridges said the youths who assaulted her son also stole money from him.
Police say Alexander Schrader, 17, turned himself in Tuesday after the video made the rounds on social media. Two other juveniles were also taken into custody.
"We take incidents like this very seriously and handling cases involving violent crime is a top priority," the Independence Police Department said in a statement.
"Additional information, including criminal charges, will be released when it becomes available."


Avocados are ah-mazing! First off they're creamy and delish. Second, they're loaded with potassium, magnesium and heart-healthy fats. "Avocados help decrease your appetite by making you feel fuller for longer," says Michelle Alley, a nutritionist at iFit. So why do we need to warn you? How could you possibly make an avocado unhealthy? It just so happens people can easily fall into an avocado pit. Here are the facts for one avocado: 250 calories, 23 grams of fat, 17 grams of carbs, 13 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein. "Everyone hears that avocados are a healthy fat so they think it's now their right to eat as many of them as they would like," says Vanessa Rissetto, RD. False!
"When people are struggling to lose weight and their diets are full of 'healthy' foods, so often the problem lies in the portion sizes and this is a big issue with avocados," says Alley. Avocados have important nutrients but they're also high in calories. "The proper serving size of an avocado is about ¼ , but most people are eating ½ to the entire avocado in their meals - and sometimes in multiple meals a day," says Dr. David Greuner of NYC Surgical Associates. "That's way too much and is actually unhealthy." Have you ever binged on what seems like a bottomless bowl of guacamole? We've def been there. People tend to eat and eat and eat guac. Then it gets refilled and they eat more.
If you make the guacamole, you control the added salt. But many store-bought or restaurant-made dishes are loaded with sodium that leads to major belly bloat. "When you go to Chipotle and they cover your bowl with guac, that's clearly much more then ¼ of an avocado and therefore is no longer healthy," says Dr. Greuner. And then there's the processed chips. Oops. You know the ones – loaded with salt, fat, bad carbs and unpronounceable ingredients. Not good.
"A golden rule with any snack or meal is to try to get at least three out of the five food groups," says Alley. Try and consume avocado with some protein and veggies. We like dipping red peppers into our guac. Or use it as a topping or spread. Think scrambled eggs with black beans or grilled chicken and a dollop of guacamole. Alley says another way to keep avocados in check is by using single serve, 100-calorie cups from Wholly Guacamole ($4).
"It helps if you view avocados more as a healthy fat like olive oil than as a fruit," says Alley. Determining how much is too much will depend on the individual. As for Alley, she aims to consume no more than half of an avocado in a day. "I usually have a fourth of an avocado with my eggs, and then I throw the other fourth on a salad for lunch," she says.

Here come the Green Police – Homeland Security Launches Environmental Justice Unit
By POPEYE
(OGS) The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the agency that was tasked to keep us safe after 9/11, has announced that their newest mandate will be going after those dangerous Eco-terrorists.
Late last week it was announced that DHS was creating an environmental justice unit to combat environmental inequities. According to DHS their new mandate is inline with their core mission of creating a homeland that's "safe and secure, resilient against terrorism and other hazards, and where American interests and aspirations and the American way of life can thrive."
They go on to say in their "Environmental Justice Strategy":
In seeking to fulfill this vision, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) aspires to avoid burdening minority and low-income populations with a disproportionate share of any adverse human health or environmental risks associated with our efforts to secure the Nation. DHS joins with other departments and agencies to appropriately include environmental justice practices in our larger mission efforts involving federal law enforcement and emergency response activities.
Wow, and we thought they only fought terrorists! I bet you feel much safer!
According to the Department of Homeland Security, almost every agency in the government has been tasked to promote environmental justice. These agencies will work in partnership with local and state governments to solve environmental problems and promote environmental justice. But when you look at recent government served eco-justice, I think the American public should be very concerned about this new green police unit.
After all, these are the same people who recently used the EPA to kick a couple off their own land in Priest Lake, Idaho.
Last year we brought you the story of Chantell and Mike Sackett, a couple who is fighting the federal governments takeover of their land.Without judicial hearings or notice, the EPA claimed that the Sacketts property sat on environmentally protected wetlands and ordered them to return the land to its native condition or face enormous fines. The EPA then demanded payments of over a quarter of a million dollars to "request" permission from the U.S. government to build on their own land.
And let's not forget the Government officials in Los Angeles County who are using "nuisance abatement teams" to intimidate people into giving up their land.
Last year we reported on Los Angeles County officials who were trying to make it illegal for people to live off the grid. From threatening families with jail time for not hooking into the grid, to fining people until they were forced to move, families in the southwestern deserts of Los Angeles County were literally being terrorized by their government.
From the Chicken Man of Roswell losing his land and committing suicide, to the small family farmers in Michigan who are facing felony charges for raising pigs, the governments green police units have been wreaking havoc throughout the country. Now that DHS has announced the formation of its Environmental Justice Unit, one can only wonder what these bureaucrats have in store for America.

To mark the UN International Day of Peace on September 21, the Bloods of Ibarra, Ecuador made a music video that celebrates how peace education inspired them to transform into a force for good in their community.
Although the group still identifies as the Bloods, they are no longer engaged in criminal activities like some of their contemporaries in other cities who claim membership in notorious global gangs. About five years ago, sparked by TPRF's peace education workshops, these youths embarked on a different path, relinquishing their weapons and lawless behavior in favor of productive activities and community improvement projects.
The multimedia Peace Education Program (PEP) sessions are based on excerpts from Prem Rawat's international talks and are designed to help participants gain an inner sense of strength, dignity, hope and contentment. Coming at a time when they were at war with another gang, members of the Ibarra Bloods say the workshops had a profound impact on them to stop fighting. Prem Rawat also met with gang members in person, offering further inspiration to chart a new course.
Now the Ibarra Bloods have become positive role models in their impoverished neighborhood of Alpachaca, receiving praise from the mayor and regional leaders. They have presented peace education workshops at local schools to help others avoid the mistakes they made, and for two years they produced their own program on National Public Radio Ecuador to inspire youth across the country to follow their peaceful example.
With the support of local authorities and their neighbors, the Ibarra Bloods recently opened the CultivArte Center, a community gathering place in Alpachaca where they can offer workshops in peace education, job training, music, dance and creative arts.
"Now, we have the joy of working for the good. If you feel peace within, you can feel peace with everyone," says Christina, an Ibarra Bloods leader.
As their Peace Day video demonstrates, the group includes talented rappers, producers and dancers, who will only get better as they now have their own safe space to practice. Their CultivArte Center serves as the backdrop of the video, covered in a newly painted graffiti mural that amplifies their hopeful message that "La Paz es Posible" (Peace is Possible). Putting their message into action, the Ibarra Bloods invited the Quito Bloods and their previous rivals, the Latin Kings, to join them in creating the heartening song and video.
The message of their music and mural echoes that of Prem Rawat and a new London mural he worked on with world-renowned artist Ben Eine in response to a gang crime epidemic in the UK. The Bloods painted their mural in solidarity with everyone working in the UK and around the world to find peaceful solutions on Peace Day and every day.
A feature documentary about the transformation of the Bloods, "Peace is Inevitable," recently made its UK debut at a forum on tackling gang violence, and it's their hope that their story will touch youth like them across the globe who are at risk of making bad choices.
Previous TPRF Peace Day videos have received more than 10 million views, and the charity is hoping to reach millions more with the new uplifting message from the Bloods.

You will receive the special offer in your inbox next month. If you know someone who would be interested in the documentary who isn't already subscribed, then send them the link to this page so they can signup by October 21!
