Icelandic Fishermen Under Fire After Posting Cruel Video of Mutilated Shark
Two crew members of an Icelandic fishing vessel have caused a global outrage after they filmed themselves hacking off the tail of a shark and then laughing as they threw it into the river. The disturbing video captures the utter cruelty of the men as they enjoy the scene of a suffering creature trying to swim without a tail.
The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service (RUV) posted the video showing one man taunting "Good luck trying to swim, you punk." They then film each other laughing at the suffering.
The men were later fired, according to the owners of the vessel, the Bíldsey SH 65.
This is one of those moments where one feels like you are watching a different species of person devoid of even a hint of humanity. The men are not simply unmoved by the obvious pain to an animal but they are thrilled by watching its suffering.
However, believe it or not, it is not clearly illegal to engage in such wanton cruelty in Iceland.
The videotape is available here.

We are just Social Great Apes with delusions of Godhood.
Progress past that is an ongoing challenge, keeping Our beast under control is our biggest challenge. Past the rouge individual, Tribalism is the root of all evil, money is just a tool of it.
tribalism is the root of all evil? preposterous
Tribalism is an extension of the family
money is a tool. just a tool. like any other can be used for good or bad.
families bring forth the new generation and use tools to survive
no money, no family, no new generation
then we fail to reproduce and the sharks, apes, toads, cockroaches and rats can have back the Earth and it will be an end to global warming.
See how the Left thinks?
"See how the Left thinks?" -Kurtz
Ah, yes. The monolithic "Left".
I don't really mean the Left in any sense other than common usage, which is, the gaggle of people on the internet whining about all sorts of normal human stuff day in and day out
global warming for example. is it fair to call this a Left issue?
I am convinced there is global warming.
I am aware it can be advanced by greenhouse cases
I am also aware it can be caused by sunspot activity which occurs in long cycles.
Whatever the cause, only fools are happy to sit around whining about whatever the cause is and whether it is "anthropogenic" all the time.
If it's real and coming harder and faster, then devote the main effort to mitigation, and don't put all your eggs in the futile basket of education and prevention
because guess what? If it's caused by sunspots? then there's no preventing it– but we will stil have to deal with coastal flooding and tundra thaw and all that comes with it regardless of whether or not Republicans adhere to "Leftist" dogma
This is why I find the usage of the word "left" useful, because it is a commonly recognized phenomena, of a bunch of crazy westerners who would often cut off their nose to spite their face
the same group of nutters who applauds "diversity" for every human "population" except those with ancestral roots in Europe! that's a clear "leftist" policy that speaks volumes for the foolishness of the "left" such as we all very well know it to be. including a lot of "leftists" who are just too afraid of the antifa and their rabid fellow travellers to take exception to anything which has currency at the moment
it's refreshing however that some "leftists" out there will party company on some crazy things. and yet then you see how the other segments of "the left" brutalize them for it!
I won't bother to put up more links that people will ignore, but it's a very real thing, "The Left"

An even more insidious cruelty in Iceland is the fact that an estimated 98% of Down Syndrome fetuses are aborted every year….n Iceland. They don't want those "retards" cluttering up the culture. The goal is to be "retard free" I guess?.

Fact Check: No, Iceland is NOT systematically eradicating Down syndrome
BY STAFF | AUG 17 2017
https://icelandmag.is/article/fact-check-no-iceland-not-systematically-eradicating-down-syndrome
Hulda Hjartardóttir, chief physician at the maternity ward of the National University Hospital told the local newspaper Morgunblaðið that it is plain wrong to claim, as CBS News does, that "close to 100%" of women who are told that the fetus has an increased likelihood of having Down syndrome.
Women receive information and advice, are nut subjected to pressure
Hulda explained to the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service that roughly 85% of women choose to have the optional pre-natal screening, while 15-20% choose not to have the screening. The screening reveals whether there is an increased likelihood of the fetus having Down syndrome. If the screening finds that there is an increased likelihood of the fetus having Down syndrome 15-20% of women or prospective parents choose not to undergo any further tests, and simply choose to carry the pregnancy to term.
The other two thirds undergo further tests and follow up discussions with doctors and nurses where the findings of the tests are explained. If the tests conclude that the child will be born with down syndrome women are told they have two options: to end the pregnancy or carry it to term.
Misleading presentation
Hulda told the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service that the presentation of CBS News was "misleading":
"Yes they are a bit misleading. It is possible to use statistics to say different things, and I think this news program did that. It distorted the reality."
Hulda told Morgunblaðið that women and parents are then offered the opportunity to meet with doctors and nurses who work with people with Down syndrome. They are also offered the opportunity to meet parents who have children with Down syndrome. No effort is made to pressure the women to make a certain decision, she explains.
Woman make the decision themselves
In fact, Hulda stresses that every effort is made to ensure that the decision comes from the woman herself. She told Morgunblaðið that her experience is that no woman takes this decision lightly:
"It is very difficult to force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term, whether or not it is for social or some other reasons. If we really support women's right to choose it is extremely difficult to say that one thing is ok, but not another. But this is an extremely difficult decision which no woman makes lightly."
Anyone who is interested in the facts– as opposed to the spin — might want to read the entire article.

Yeah, Aninymous, they don't mutilate sharks, either.
Read that artivke whenit was released, but thanks anyway.
The article wasn't posted for you, Ms. Bragg, in spite of it being a "reply."
Just countering the bs.
And I'll repost this — for others:
Ok, sorry. Just pretend I'm not here…….Oh, the % of Down Syndrome fetuses aborted in U.S. is 80%.
I know you are so proud to be a part of the people who endorse that practice.

I realize that as a Catholic my gut is telling me something sinful on the topic.
But my gut is telling me that early term aborting of downs syndrome & anencephaly, is not a big problem, even if it's being done.
In Sparta they would toss a baby in the ravine for a lot less than that.
I am not fast to denounce eugenics. I often wonder, should we wish for dysgenics?
Let's promote fetal health so that we don't have to make these tough calls. specifically, i have heard that a lack of folic acid can lead to serious neural tube defects

my gut actually tells me a lot of sinful stuff.
but sometimes you go with your gut, anyways
Mr. Kurtz…….Sparta? You mean Cory Booker's home town? 😊
Carlyle Moulton says:
A far greater cruelty would be forcing fetuses that one knows are going to be mentally defective to be born to be a drain on their parents, and on society. Downs syndrome people are just smart enough to know that they are stupid and to suffer shame and guilt at their inferiority.
Not all Hitler's ideas were bad that of euthanasing defective children is one I support. What a pity all his idea became off limits because he discredited himself by killing 6 million fully functional humans. I support abortion or post birth euthanasia for all defective humans and also if this is not allowed a steep tax on right to lifer fetus fetishists to pay the life long costs of those inferior humans whose births they force.
Daphne Sheridan Bass says:
When will people understand that feelings of outrage over the suffering and abuse of humans and animals are not mutually exclusive? If humans cannot condemn abuse of animals and do all they can to stop it, do not think for one minute that the attitude will be different toward people. Jonathan Turley is absolutely correct in exposing this horror and should be praised for his article and certainly not criticized.
Estovir says:
yes because Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind and your Animal as themselves well are the Golden Rule for life in the 21st Century

have caused a global outrage
Christians are being slaughtered globally at genocide levels.
Nations in the Western Hemisphere are near collapse with their people starving (Venezuela), lacking basic medical resources, and dictators thrive unabated.
Sudan is in near anarchy and Europe is so fragmented it ceases to add any worthwhile contributions to the world.
Yet here we have Turley writing about global outrage about two men towards a shark while Governors Ralph Northam and Andrew Cuomo support the hacking off of a baby's head after being delivered because it is the mother's choice
Daniel Morgan says:
Slow down before you have a stroke. Compassion starts with the little things. Turley is right in writing about about this cruelty.
― Mahatma Gandhi
"Christians are being slaughtered globally at genocide levels." Utter used horse food. And unfathomably stupid. Unless there's something to be gained from outright lies.
I don't know if it's a lie or not. maybe not
https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24864587
maybe they slaughter a lot of them in Africa. apparently they do. this story from 2013
——— excerpt:
"Credible research has reached the shocking conclusion that every year an estimate of more than 100,000 Christians are killed because of some relation to their faith," Vatican spokesman Archbishop Silvano Maria Tomasi announced in a radio address to the United Nations Human Rights Council in May.
On the internet, the statistic has taken on a life of its own, popping up all over the place, sometimes with an additional detail – that these 100,000 lives are taken by Muslims.
Listen to More or Less on BBC Radio 4 and the World Service, or download the free podcast
The number comes originally from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in the US state of Massachusetts, which publishes such a figure each year in its Status of Global Mission (see line 28).
Its researchers started by estimating the number of Christians who died as martyrs between 2000 and 2010 – about one million by their reckoning – and divided that number by 10 to get an annual number, 100,000.
But how do they reach that figure of one million?
When you dig down, you see that the majority died in the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
More than four million are estimated to have been killed in that war between 2000 and 2010, and CSGC counts 900,000 of them – or 20% – as martyrs.
Over 10 years, that averages out at 90,000 per year.
So when you hear that 100,000 Christians are dying for their faith, you need to keep in mind that the vast majority – 90,000 – are people who were killed in DR Congo.
This means we can say right away that the internet rumours of Muslims being behind the killing of 100,000 Christian martyrs are nonsense. The DRC is a Christian country. In the civil war, Christians were killing Christians.
A broad definition
Christian martyrs are defined as "believers in Christ who have lost their lives prematurely, in situations of witness, as a result of human hostility"…
The largest martyrdom situation today is in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where atrocious acts of violence began in the late 1990s and have continued to the present…
Although not all their circumstances would be considered "situations of witness," we estimate that a substantial proportion of those who have died meet our definition of martyr.
Todd Johnson: The case for higher numbers of Christian martyrs
In earlier estimates of martyrs, CSGC included killings that occurred in the Rwandan genocide. Again this is puzzling. It was not a conflict about religion – it was a case of Hutus killing Tutsis, and both sides were Christian.
"The genocide in Rwanda was based on the systematic killing of an ethnic group in an attempt to completely wipe them out and it had nothing to do with the beliefs or the worship or the people who were killed," says Ian Linden, author of Church and Revolution in Rwanda, and associate professor in the study of religion at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.
"The civil wars in the DRC were the consequences of a failed state, disintegrated military force so that militias had almost full power because of the weapons they had. They were indiscriminately killing and raping and plundering and it's very difficult to describe any of that killing as creating martyrdom."
But Vatican reporter and author of The Global War on Christians, John Allen, outlines an example of how someone caught up in the civil war in DR Congo could be martyred.
"A female catechist in Congo, who is having success persuading young people in her area not to sign up with the militias, and she is killed by one of those forces because they don't want to see the sources of recruits dry up. Now is that anti-Christian violence, or isn't it?" he asks.
Ian Linden also makes the point that there were Hutus in Rwanda who wouldn't leave their Tutsi colleagues because of their Christian faith, and who were therefore killed and could be called martyrs.
Religious harassment (2006-11)
Number of countries where religious groups were harassed:
Christians – 145
Muslims – 129
Jews – 90
Others – 75
Folk religionists – 47
Hindus – 32
Buddhists – 23
Any of the above – 185
Pew Research Center Religion & Public Life Project, June 2013
So let's agree that some people were killed because of their Christian faith in DR Congo. Is it plausible that 20% were?
Todd Johnson, director of CSGC, told the BBC this figure was drawn from the 1982 edition of the World Christian Encyclopedia, which estimated that on average 20% of African nations were actively practising Christians.
But surely it's not the case that all actively practising Christians who are killed in a civil war, are killed because of their faith?………..

When I first moved into my new home, I made a list of everything that I had to do as far as house maintenance was concerned. There were a lot of things I had to do right away because winter was setting in, so I made a spring checklist as well so I could focus on what was most important before the bitter cold set in. After winter was all but gone, I knew that I had to find a company that does air conditioning repair in Bergen County NJ.
Just as it was critical to make sure that the furnace was in tip top shape for the winter, I had to make sure the air conditioner was ready for the hot summer that had been predicted. I wasn't happy with the company that handled my furnace check up because they charged me way too much. I had just picked a company that was only a few miles away, so I knew that I had to research better for the company that would service my air conditioner. I went online and did a search in my area, and several results came back. I looked at each one, and the choice was very clear on the company I was going to choose.
I liked their website, and I liked their quote. Best of all though were the testimonials that I was able to read online. I was able to read where they are quick, professional, friendly and inexpensive, so I scheduled an appointment. They were out the same week, and inspected my unit and then cleaned it as well. Thankfully, I did not need to have any major work done on it. If I do in the future, this is definitely the company I am going to call to help me with that.

Thune: Biden Court-Packing Commission Lays the Foundation for Democrat Power-Grab
"Democrats want power. They want to be able to impose the policies they want, when they want them."
U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today discussed his disappointment in President Biden for establishing a court-packing commission to examine the far-left's proposal to pack the Supreme Court with Democratic judges. Thune expressed that court-packing would undermine a fundamental part of our system of government and discussed that it is solely a power-grab attempt by Democrats.
"Mr. President, on Friday, in what is fast becoming a theme of his presidency, President Biden caved to the demands of the far left and officially established his court-packing commission.
"Yes, court-packing.
"An idea that had been consigned to the ash heap of history almost a century ago has been given new life by the far left, who – wait for it – are upset that a duly elected Republican president was able to get his justices confirmed to the Supreme Court.
"Yes, Mr. President.
"The terrible crisis we're facing is that a Republican president was able to fill three vacancies on the Supreme Court.
"I confess I had missed the part in the Constitution that said the Supreme Court is only legitimate if a majority of its members were nominated by a Democrat president – or at least reliably deliver liberals' preferred outcomes.
"But liberals didn't.
"And now they're eager to "restore balance" to the Supreme Court by expanding the number of Supreme Court justices and ensuring that a Democrat president fills the new spots.
"And President Biden – the same man who once called President Roosevelt's failed court-packing proposal a "bonehead idea" and a "terrible, terrible mistake to make" – is apparently falling in with the far left's demands.
"His commission – composed largely of left-leaning scholars, Democrat operatives, and a few conservatives as bipartisan window-dressing – will consider court-packing and other structural "reforms," like term limits for Supreme Court justices.
"It's funny how Democrats weren't too concerned about term limits when revered liberal justices were serving for decades.
"But faced with the terrible prospect that a Justice Barrett or a Justice Gorsuch might have a similarly long career, the left is suddenly eager to limit Supreme Court terms.
"Mr. President, there are so many things wrong with the left's court-packing proposals that it's difficult to know where to begin.
"But let's start with the ludicrous idea that packing the court will somehow restore the court's legitimacy in the eyes of the public.
"(Not that the court's legitimacy has been lost in the eyes of anyone but far-left liberals.
"In fact, the Supreme Court might be the federal institution that garners the greatest degree of respect from the public.
"The Supreme Court's approval rating routinely exceeds that of Congress – usually by a substantial margin.)
"But let's suppose for a second that liberals are correct and that the Supreme Court has lost its legitimacy in the eyes of the public.
"If that is the case, Mr. President, there is nothing – nothing – Democrats could do that would be more guaranteed to further undermine public trust in the court than to pack the court.
"Do Democrats seriously think that they can enhance the credibility of the Supreme Court in the eyes of the American people by expanding it to add more Democrat justices?
"Do they think the 74 million people who voted for Republicans in the last election are going to see this as adding necessary balance to the court?
"If they do, they should think again.
"As Justice Stephen Breyer noted just last week, "It is wrong to think of the Court as another political institution. And it is doubly wrong to think of its members as junior-league politicians. Structural alteration motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that perception, further eroding that trust."
"Republicans – and, I venture to say, a lot of independent and Democrat voters as well – will see this for exactly what it is: an attempt by Democrats to undermine an essential institution to ensure that Democrats get the Supreme Court rulings they want.
"Democrats can dress up their openness to court-packing proposals in lofty language and faux expressions of concern for the institution, but no one is fooled.
"This is about power, pure and simple.
"Democrats want power.
"They want to be able to impose the policies they want, when they want them.
"And they're afraid that if the Supreme Court isn't packed full of Democrat nominees, the Supreme Court might rule against them.
"And so more and more Democrats are apparently perfectly willing to consider undermining – if not destroying – a fundamental part of our system of government to guarantee their political power.
"Mr. President, let's think about this in practical terms for a minute.
"Let's suppose Democrats actually succeed in expanding the Supreme Court and adding more Democrat nominees.
"What do they think is going to happen next time there's a Republican president and a Republican Congress?
"Republicans would make their own move to "restore balance" and add some more Republican Supreme Court nominees.
"Then I imagine when Democrats retook power they'd do the same thing.
"In a decade or so, Mr. President, the Supreme Court could be expanded to laughable proportions.
"How many justices are we going to have?
"There would be no end to this lunacy.
"Mr. President, in the words of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg only two years ago, "Nine seems to be a good number. It's been that way for a long time. … I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court."
"It was a bad idea, Mr. President.
"And fortunately for the country, when President Roosevelt proposed his court-packing plan, both Republicans and Democrats opposed it.
"Unfortunately, Democrats today seem to be more concerned with power than principle – or, in some cases, maybe lack the courage to stand up to the ferocity of the far left.
"In the past President Biden has powerfully defended American institutions.
"But now he seems incapable of standing up to the far left.
"And so now we have an American president implicitly endorsing the idea of court-packing by establishing a commission to study the proposal.
"Mr. President, Democrats like to talk about democracy and making sure people have a voice.
"But it's becoming increasingly clear that they think their voices – and the voices of liberal Americans – are the only voices that should be heard.
"And if they can't win by convincing the public to elect strong Democrat majorities, they've made it increasingly clear that they're willing to undermine our institutions to ensure their grip on power.
"Don't like the makeup of the Supreme Court?
"Expand the court with new Democrat justices until you can be sure you get the results you want.
"Don't like Senate rules that give the minority party a voice in legislation?
"Change the rules.
"Don't like your election prospects?
"Pass legislation designed to give your party a permanent advantage in electoral contests.
"Mr. President, I understand Democrats' passion for their political beliefs.
"I'm pretty passionate about advancing my political principles.
"But I believe we should be advancing our principles the democratic way, by persuading people to vote for us – not by undermining our democratic institutions to give our party an advantage.
"I am deeply disappointed that President Biden found himself unable to stand up to pressure from the radical left.
"But I hope that at least some Democrats will find the courage to oppose these dangerous attempts to undermine our system of government.
"The Biden court-packing commission is a solution in search of a problem – and an attempt at a raw power grab by Democrats.
"It should quickly fade into the obscurity it deserves."

Faith of Our Fathers published 1967
First published in Dangerous Visions 1967
"Faith of Our Fathers" was written for and first published in Harlan Ellison's 1967 anthology Dangerous Visions.
The Communist Party (in an alternate-future North America under Communist rule) is hiding the true nature of reality from the population through the use of hallucinogens in the water supply.
Tung Chien sees through this phony world after being slipped an anti-hallucinogenic drug by members of a revolutionary group and proceeds to find out that the Absolute Benefactor is actually a horrible, god-like evil entity.
This one certainly feels like a bad trip. Dick has written enough stories along these lines that it's remarkable how much he downplayed the significance of LSD as an inspiration in his writing process.
Tung Chien – works for the Postwar Ministry of Cultural Artifacts
Darius Pethel – headmaster of a new school of indoctrination. This is also the name of the owner of Pethel Jiffi-scuttler Sales & Service in The Crack in Space
Ssu-Ma Tso-pin – Chien's supervisor
Tanya Lee – member of a revolutionary group
The Absolute Benefactor – the Communist Party leader
The Man in the High Castle published 1962
TV Adaptations
The Man in the High Castle is a book I admire more than enjoy reading. I reread it thinking I missed something when I read it years ago, but I felt almost the same about it the second time through.
The premise, where Dick imagines a world where the Axis powers won World War II, is certainly interesting. And the novel within the novel, where an author (the titular man in the high castle) has written a book about the Allies winning the war, is a great reversal of this idea. The characters though didn't click with me, and the conflicts between the quarreling factions of the Reich felt more studious than exciting. I'm in the minority here. Most consider The Man in the High Castle to be one of Dick's masterworks.
We find out at the end that the author Abendsen plotted the entirety of The Grasshopper Lies Heavy by consulting the I Ching. Evidently, Dick made heavy use of the I Ching while writing The Man in the High Castle, although not to the extent of his stand-in. Dick won the Hugo Award for this in 1963 after which he finally gave up on his mainstream aspirations and threw himself headfirst into his sci-fi career.

What to Expect from a First Offense OVI in Dayton, OH
Home » What to Expect from a First Offense OVI in Dayton, OH
Intoxicated driving is one of the most common criminal charges in Ohio.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol reports that 19,008 people were arrested on OVI charges in the state in 2018 alone.
No matter the specific circumstances, an OVI charge is always a serious matter. Even a first-time OVI conviction could result in a defendant facing severe penalties.
Here, our Dayton defense lawyers give an overview of the Ohio OVI laws. We will also explain what to expect if you are facing a first-time intoxicated driving offense.
OVI Ohio First Offense: What Am I Facing?
Under Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code § 4511.19), it is unlawful to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Ohio has graduated penalties for OVI offenses. This means a defendant will face worse penalties with each intoxicated driving offense.
Still, a first-time OVI is not a minor issue. Among other things, the penalties for a DUI in Ohio first offense may include:
Up to $1,075 in fines and fees;
Other financial penalties and increased insurance costs;
At least three days in jail or a three-day Driver Intervention Program;
Up to six months in prison; and
A license suspension of up to three years.
Administrative Penalties: Your License Will Be Automatically Suspended — Unless You Act
If you get charged with a drunk driving offense in Ohio, your license will be suspended before you get a hearing on your case.
You can take action to stop this. Contact an experienced OVI Ohio defense lawyer after your drunk driving arrest. You have 30 days to request a hearing to argue the automatic suspension.
You May Face Additional Penalties if Other 'Aggravating Factors' are Present
A history OVI offenses is not the only factor that impacts the criminal penalties in these cases. A defendant could be charged with a more severe OVI offense if:
They were highly intoxicated — a BAC level above .17;
The accident occurred resulted in significant property damage or an injury;
There was a minor present within the vehicle; or
Other traffic offenses, such as reckless driving, were committed at the same time.
Speak to a DUI Defense Attorney in Dayton, Ohio

Camillo Togni () est un compositeur, professeur et pianiste italien. Issu d'une riche famille, il est en mesure de poursuivre son art comme il l'entend, indépendamment de l'évolution de la mode ou de la pression économique.

Biographie

Togni commence l'étude du piano à sept ans, avec Franco Margola à Brescia, puis de 1939 à 1943 avec Alfredo Casella à Rome et Sienne, puis Giovanni Anfossi à Milan. Il étudie également plus tard, avec Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (1943–1950), et reçoit son diplôme du conservatoire de Parme en 1946.

Il effectue ses études classiques à Brescia : esthétique musicale à l'Université de Milan avec Luigi Rognoni et en 1948, il est diplômé en philosophie de l'Université de Pavie, avec une thèse intitulée « L'Esthétique de Benedetto Croce et le problème de l'interprétation musicale » (L'Estetica di Croce e il problema dell'interpretazione musicale). En même temps, il commence à étudier la composition à Brescia avec Franco Margola, par la suite, à Rome et à Sienne avec Casella. Il est actif en tant que concertiste jusqu'en 1953 ; par la suite, il ne joue que sa propre musique en public.

Michelangeli l'introduit en 1938 à la musique d'Arnold Schoenberg, qui le touche profondément et il développe un intérêt grandissant pour la seconde école de Vienne. Pendant la guerre, il obtient l'accès à des partitions de Schoenberg par Luigi Rognoni, avec lequel il étudiait. En 1940, l'influence de Schoenberg est clairement audible dans l'œuvre de Togni, Prima serenata pour piano. Sa nouvelle technique étant pleinement épanouie avec les Variations pour piano et orchestre (1945–1946), avec laquelle il fait ses débuts en composition, lors d'un concert au festival de musique contemporaine de Venise de 1946 (direction Bruno Maderna). En 1949, avec Luigi Dallapiccola et Bruno Maderna, il participe au premier congrès dodécaphonique international de Milan. De 1951 à 1957, il assiste aux cours d'été de Darmstadt, attiré d'abord par l'intervention prévue de Schönberg lui-même qui ne fera pas le voyage. Il y rencontre cependant Hermann Scherchen qui joue un extrait de Moses und Aron quelques jours avant la mort l'auteur, Arnold Schönberg. Lui-même obtient de bonne critique lors de la présentation de Tre studi per 'Morts sans sépulture' di J.P. Sartre (1951). En 1955 la ville de Darmstadt, lui commande une œuvre pour fêter les dix ans des cours d'été. C'est Helian di Trakl, op. 39 (1955) sa première rencontre avec l'œuvre de Georg Trakl. Mais en 1957, il trouve le tournant vers la musique aléatoire étranger à sa nature et n'y participe plus, jusqu'à ce qu'il y soit invité en 1990.

En 1960 et 1961, il donne des cours sur la musique contemporaine à l'Université pour étrangers de Florence. De 1977 à 1988, il occupe la chaire de perfectionnement en composition au Conservatoire de Parme. À partir de 1989, il enseigne la composition à l'École de musique de Fiesole.

Parmi les œuvres de sa période post-Darmstadt plus largement admirée, se trouve le recueil d'après Charles d'Orléans, Rondeaux per dieci (1963–1964), qui acquiert une « expressivité engourdie » par la juxtaposition de la fraîcheur d'une voix de soprano lyrique et la résonance du registre grave des instruments. Il reçoit le Prix de musique de chambre 1965 GICA. Son dernier grand projet est une trilogie d'opéras sur des textes de Georg Trakl, un poète dont les œuvres avaient attiré l'attention de Togni dès 1955. La première partie, Blaubart, est composée entre 1972 et 1975 ; la deuxième partie, Barrabas, entre 1981 et 1985. Cependant que la troisième partie, Maria Magdalena, n'a jamais été écrite, au moment de sa mort, à Brescia en 1993.

Italy uses imams in prisons to deter extremism among inmates
By Frances D'Emilio — July 12, 2017
(AP) — Italy has relied mostly on arresting and deporting suspected extremists to try to keep the country safe from terrorism. But the Italian government has come to embrace prevention, too, especially in the prisons it doesn't want to become training grounds for potential extremists.


The project's main pedagogical approach is the cross-border assignments (CBAs). They provide a genuine learning environment, where students and SMEs work closely together, and across national borders.
In the CBAs, students perform different real-life assignments for the companies. The assignments can be e.g. to develop market entry plans, participate in business fairs, test products and services, gather information about financing and business support, and many more. All the assignments support SME internationalisation.
In this section, you find more information about the CBAs. A few reports from finalized CBAs are also available.

This week it is suggested that we try a Five Card Flickr story, I took a run at it yesterday.
As I clicked trough the activity, I kept getting ideas that would turn away as I loaded another set of cards, instead of going with the flow I restarted a few times. Better perhaps to just pick up the cards as they are dealt? I didn't end up with much of a story.
Today I though I'd post it and my mind turned to styling the code provided a little, it then wandered onto maybe making a slideshow, the result is above.
I started off by adding a wee bit of css to add a frame/border round the photo.
You need to use the text/html editor in WordPress (similar in other systems too) to paste in the code from Five Card Flickr, I edited a bit in a text editor first as this is easier than using the blog editor.
This gave the images a border and a shadow.
Next I need a timer to hide the current image and show the next one.
So added the code for the class to the post inside the script tag.
This is not very elegant, instead of remembering which photo is showing I just run through them all and the one that is visible is the current one. If it is the last I show the first, else I show the next.
I added this to the script block.
YAY! Thanks to your post, I brushed aside my anxiety, took the leap and dived into the HTML. Well, let's be real… I just dipped my toes in the shallow end… but I did it. I created borders around all of my images in my 5 card Flickr post.
Looking at your code directly, this post I found on-line, a HEX color picker and some trial and error I got it to work.

Suicide Squad is een Amerikaanse misdaadfilm uit 2016, geregisseerd en geschreven door David Ayer. In de film spelen de superschurken van DC Comics de hoofdrol. Het is de derde film in het DC Extended Universe.

Verhaal

De overheid is op zoek naar nieuwe middelen als de wereld opnieuw in gevaar komt. Ambtenaar Amanda Waller komt met een idee om een aantal superschurken die opgesloten zitten in de gevangenis, het gevaar te laten bestrijden in ruil voor strafvermindering. Deadshot, Harley Quinn, El Diablo, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc en Slipknot zijn de gelukkigen die het vuile klusje mogen opknappen. Ze worden bijgestaan door een speciale eenheid onder leiding van officier Rick Flag. Zwaardspecialiste Katana in dienst van Waller gaat ook mee. Om er voor te zorgen dat de superschurken niet ontsnappen wordt er bij iedere schurk een micro-bomimplantaat in de nek geplaatst. Het gevaar dat bestreden moet worden is de archeoloog June Moone die bezeten is door bovennatuurlijke krachten en daarmee kan transformeren naar Enchantress. Ze wil de wereld vernietigen. Dezelfde Moone was ooit in dienst van Waller en de vriendin van Flag. Wanneer elders de Joker ontdekt waar zijn vriendin Harley Quinn zich bevindt, gaat hij haar bevrijden. Het eerste slachtoffer onder de superschurken is Slipknot, die denkt dat hij toch kan ontsnappen als ze in het centrum van de stad zijn. Al snel krijgen ze te maken met een leger van zombies en Enchantress' broer Incubus, die tot leven komt door haarzelf. Tijdens de strijd tegen het kwade schakelt de Joker de verbinding van de microbom van Quinn uit en komt haar redden met een helikopter. Aan een touw ontsnapt Quinn met de helikopter. De helikopter wordt neergeschoten door het leger van Waller, en Quinn springt op een dak nog voordat de helikopter explodeert. Wanneer Quinn weer bij het team is aangesloten, gaan ze verder om de kwade bedoelingen van Enchantress te stoppen. Wanneer het team zijn krachten bundelt en Incubus uitschakelt, probeert Enchantress het team te verleiden met hun diepste verlangens. El Diablo, die daar niet intrapt, brengt zijn team weer in de strijd tot een laatste offensief om Enchantress te verslaan. Wanneer het levenloze lichaam van Moone op de grond ligt, denkt Flag dat hij haar definitief kwijt is. De echte Moone komt toch weer tot leven. Het team van superschurken verwacht dat ze worden vrijgelaten. Ze krijgen echter te horen dat ze tien jaar korter gevangenisstraf krijgen op hun levenslange straf. Alleen Deadshots wens om even bij zijn dochter te zijn, wordt vervuld. Wanneer iedereen weer in de gevangenis zit, wordt Quinn toch nog bevrijd door de Joker, die het ongeluk heeft overleefd. Na de aftiteling gaat de film verder en zien we Bruce Wayne een deal sluiten met Waller.

Achtergrond

Productie
De eerste opnamen vonden plaats in de Pinewood Studios in Toronto vanaf half april 2015. De opnames eindigden in september 2015. Een sneeuwstorm-scène werd gefilmd op 29 april, eveneens in Toronto. Op 5 mei werd in de binnenstad gefilmd. Later die maand werd er een stuntman gezien in Batman-kostuum die achter de Joker en Harley Quinn aanzat.

Op 13 juli 2015 heeft Warner Bros. Pictures de eerste trailer vrijgegeven.

Acteur Jared Leto kreeg veel kritiek voor zijn gedrag achter de schermen. Leto, voorstander van methodacting, stuurde zijn acteur-collega's - ter voorbereiding van zijn personage als doorgedraaid figuur - dode varkens, kogels, een levende rat, seksspeeltjes en gebruikte condooms. Naar eigen zeggen deed hij dit om een bepaalde dynamiek te creëren op de set; "een element van verrassing, spontaniteit".

Muziek

De originele filmmuziek werd gecomponeerd door Steven Price, die eerder ook al met de film Fury een samenwerking had met David Ayer. De film bevat ook muziek van Twenty One Pilots met Heathens, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa & Imagine Dragons met Sucker for Pain en Skrillex & Rick Ross met Purple Lamborghini die ook zijn vrijgegeven op single en op de originele soundtrack.

Ontvangst en opbrengst
De film werd verdeeld ontvangen op de site Rotten Tomatoes waar het 26% goede reviews, gebaseerd op 245 beoordelingen en op de site Metacritic met een score van 40/100, gebaseerd op 53 critici.

De film bracht in het openingsweekend (5 t/m 7 augustus 2016) in Noord-Amerika 133.682.248 Amerikaanse dollar op, goed voor plaats 20 aller tijden. Een opbrengstrecord behaalde de film in Noord-Amerika in de categorie beste opbrengst van de maand augustus aller tijden. De film bracht in het openingsweekend (5 t/m 7 augustus 2016) wereldwijd 267.105.000 Amerikaanse dollar op, goed voor plaats 24 aller tijden.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney ranked Ohio State lower than any other coach in the country that gets a vote in the Coaches' Poll.
Brendan Gulick
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney made it pretty clear in the days leading up to the College Football Playoff Selection Show that he didn't think a team that played six games should be included in the CFP this year.
Apparently, he thinks there aren't even close.
Swinney is one of the 61 coaches that make up the weekly poll and he voted the Buckeyes No. 11 in his final poll. That is by far the lowest any coach in the country ranked Ohio State.
Swinney's Top 10 included Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Florida, Georgia, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, Iowa State and Coastal Carolina.
By contrast, seven coaches (including Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald and Nebraska' Scott Frost) ranked the Buckeyes No. 2 and 53 of the 61 coaches had the Buckeyes in the Top 4. In fact, 59 of the other coaches think the Buckeyes should be ranked between No. 2 and No. 5. Georgia coach Kirby Smart had the Buckeyes at No. 6.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher and Alabama head coach Nick Saban had the Buckeyes ranked fifth, meaning they thought Ohio State should have been left out of the Playoff. Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly thinks the Buckeyes are No. 4.
Here are the aggregate polls for each of the coaches in the country that have a vote.
Ryan Day did not have a vote in the coaches poll this year.

The rationalization and restructuring of National Grid operational centres presented a number of opportunities for the improvement of existing workplaces, and the re-organisation of storage and distribution areas. The aim was to establish appropriate and flexible accommodation standards for office, operational and storage areas. The response presented a series of components that could be configured to suit various site requirements and conditions while providing high quality workspaces to support National Grid's network operations.
The proposals achieved predictable construction costs through standardization and the use of repeated, pre-assembled elements. Detailed costs and life cycle analyses were conducted on two tests sites in Birmingham and London. In each case the residual value of land released by rationalizing the operations centres significantly offset development costs.

Skocic proud of IR Iran, Katanec expects Iraq to learn after Asian Qualifiers adventure
Muharraq: Islamic Republic of Iran head coach Dragan Skocic was proud of his team while Iraq counterpart Srecko Katanec said Iraq should draw lessons from their 1-0 defeat the Central Asian side in their final Asian Qualifiers Group C tie for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023 on Tuesday.
Sardar Azmoun's first half goal proved enough for Iran to clinch the three points as they completed a remarkable turnaround to emerge group winners and seal a place in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and confirm their appearance in the AFC Asian Cup China 2023.
Despite the defeat, Iraq also advanced to the final round of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Qualifiers as one of the best runners-up teams but Katanec believes his side should have gotten a better result.

Kuwait City: Head coach Graham Arnold didn't hold back in praising his players after Australia completed Group B of their Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023 campaign with a 1-0 win Jordan on Tuesday.
Having already sealed their final place in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers - Road to Qatar 2022 and their berth in the AFC Asian Cup China 2023 ahead of the match, Australia made it eight wins out of eight under extreme conditions at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium with Harry Souttar scoring his sixth goal in five matches to hand Australia the win.
The result meant Australia cruised into the third stage of qualifying with an unblemished record and an eighth-straight win in a single campaign for the first time.
Kuwait can only improve, says Enad after Asian Qualifiers exit
Kuwait City: Despite not being able to advance to the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, head coach Thamer Enad says Kuwait can only get better.
Two goals by Yousef Nassef saw Kuwait defeat Chinese Taipei in their final Group B tie on Tuesday to finish second behind Australia. The victory, however, was not enough to earn the West Asians a place in the final round of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Qualifiers.

Tigers, Oreo Cookies and Greed…
Posted on October 24, 2013 by thetravellinggourmet
Story and photos by Dr. Michael Lim The Travelling GourmetTM
The indomitable and implacable Travelling Gourmet tells you about how greed and avarice sometimes disregards humanity and the environment…
MANY know this famous poem by Blake: Tiger, Tiger burning bright in the forests of the night…
but now the Sumatran tiger is in danger of extinction…WHY?
The reason, as stated in the Greenpeace International report published on 22 October, 2013 entitled "Licence to kill" is because of companies like Wilmar International, headquartered in Singapore.
Please see: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/publications/Licence-to-kill/
To quote:
As few as 400 tigers are thought to remain in the rainforests of Sumatra, which are vanishing at a staggering rate – a quarter of a million hectares every year. Expansion of oil palm and pulpwood plantations was responsible for nearly two-thirds of the destruction of tiger habitat from 2009 to 2011, the most recent period for which official Indonesian government data are available. Such destruction fragments the extensive tracts of rainforest over which tigers need to range in order to hunt.
Although Wilmar has undertaken to preserve high conservation value (HCV) forests and peatland on its own concessions, these areas supply less than 4% of the palm oil it trades and refines, with the remainder being produced by third-party suppliers. In relation to Wilmar, Greenpeace has documented deep peatland fires in oil palm concessions; wholesale rainforest destruction and illegal oil palm plantations within the Tesso Nilo National Park, harvests from which have previously been tracked to Wilmar's own mills and which continue to feed into Indonesia's palm oil supply chain; and extensive clearance of both tiger and orang-utan habitat. Wilmar is known to own, have a significant stake in or trade with most of the producers Greenpeace has documented as engaging in such irresponsible or illegal activities.
Today, on October 24, 2013, in an exclusive interview with The Travelling GourmetTM, Lim Li Chuen, Director, Investor Relations and spokesperson for Wilmar international said vehemently, "Greenpeace only gives one side of the issue. We have been engaging with Greenpeace…this report is very disappointing to us. These are complex issues that take time to resolve…"
I asked her, "But this wanton and indiscriminate burning of the forests in Indonesia has been going on for 40 to 50 years so how much more time is needed???"
Lim Li Chuen answered, 'This kind of attack is counter-productive…We have issued a very detailed rebuttal. It is at http://www.wilmar-international.com in the sustainabily section. We are working with our suppliers, third parties and NGOs but it is very difficult to work with them…"
I enquired further, "What concrete and positive steps are being taken by Wilmar to address the issues raised in the Greenpeace report?"
Lim Li Chuen replied, "We are reviewing our business strategies and practices…"
To be brutally frank, which is not my usual style, I was not very convinced by her ambiguous answers.
Lim Li Chuen can be contacted at +65 6507 0592.
When Channel News Asia contacted Wilmar International in Indonesia, they did not respond.
On the Wilmar website they say: In our farming practices, we have also adopted a responsible plantation management approach that enables us to enhance nature's biodiversity without compromising yields or plantation profitability.
In a nutshell, we firmly believe that environmental conservation and economic prosperity through sustainable agriculture can work in practice.
At the same time, we also recognise we can do much more to benefit the world with help and support from other stakeholders. This refers to engaging stakeholders through listening and addressing their concerns into our business decisions and actions as well as forming strategic collaborations with them, where relevant. (Nice words that mean very little in my opinion)
THEN WHY WAS THERE A THICK FOG OF POISONOUS HAZE BLANKETING SINGAPORE RECENTLY IN JUNE 2013 AND WHY ARE THERE SO FEW SUMATRAN TIGERS LEFT IN SUMATRA AND WHY ARE THE FORESTS IN INDONESIA BEING BURNT INDISCRIMINATELY??? WHY???
To conclude my special report, here is an excerpt from the Greenpeace report:
"Greenpeace's investigations have revealed that household names including Colgate Palmolive, Mondelez International (formerly Kraft), Neste Oil, Procter & Gamble, Reckitt Benckiser and a host of other companies are linked to Singapore-based Wilmar International Ltd and its international trade in dirty palm oil. Wilmar is the world's largest palm oil processor, accounting for over one-third of the global palm oil processing market and with a distribution network covering over 50 countries.
Greenpeace believes that Wilmar and the household brands that buy its palm oil must recognise the true costs of irresponsible palm oil production. They need to ensure that their palm oil supply makes a genuine contribution to Indonesia's development, rather than destroying the future for its people, its wildlife and the global climate on which we all depend."
No one can do everything but everyone can do something!
Let us start by BOYCOTTING Oreo Cookies, Colgate Palmolive Soap, Mondelez International (formerly Kraft) products like Kraft cheese, Neste Oil, Reckitt Benckiser and the rest of them!!! The environmental terrorism in Indonesia must be stopped!!!

Friends of the Earth Netherlands made review of Wilmar palm oil in PT Jatim Jaya Perkasa in 2004 acting in Sumatra Riau. Wilmar had 20,800 hectare land. Dutch Rabobank and IFC finanzed Wilmar. Satellite photos proved plantations were in the sea shore peat rain forests in 2004. The depth of the peat was over four meters. Indonesian law should protect such a peat land. However, Wilmar received despite the peat land permission in 1997. According to local people company dangere Sumatran tiger that lives in the area. This was a conflict in 2004. Soon there after Wilmar sold the company and joined WWF palm oil association. In July 2007 Friends of the Earth and two local environmental organizations criticized the illegal forest cuts in Kalimantan Indonesia.

Reblogged this on The Travelling Gourmet and commented:
More burning! Be prepared…get your N95 and N99 masks ready and also gas masks. The environmental terrorists are at it again…committing Crimes against the Environment and therefore against humanity…PERFIDY!
Without TOUGH sanctions from the Environmental orgnisations like dynamic Greenpeace, Friends of the earth and maybe in a few thousand years..ASEAN and the UN, the evil environmental terrorists in Indo nesia and elsewhere will not stop. Consumers must boycott companies and products involved like Wilmar Int'l, Arnotts cookies, Kraft Foods, Palmolive soap, Colgate and more…hit them where in counts >>>their profit margin!!!
foodie says:
Unfortunately, it's difficult to avoid palm oil products completely. They're in many many products everywhere such as chocolate, bread, bar soap, dairy creamer, condensed milk. 😦

Teodoro La Rosa, (Arequipa, 1818 - Lima, 1882) fue un abogado, jurista, magistrado y político peruano. Fue presidente del Consejo de Ministros (1876-1877) y ministro de Justicia, Instrucción, Culto y Beneficencia (1868-1869 y 1876-1877).

Biografía

Sus primeros años los vivió en la casa de huérfanos fundada por el obispo Pedro José Chávez de la Rosa en Arequipa. Estudió en el Seminario Conciliar de San Jerónimo y luego en la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa. Se recibió de abogado el 5 de julio de 1839.

Fue miembro de la Academia Lauretana de Ciencias y Artes, de la que llegó a ser presidente. Así como secretario de la prefectura de Arequipa (1844-1848) y redactor del diario oficial El Republicano (1846-48), desde el cual libró una tenaz campaña contra las exigencias del gobierno de Bolivia y los perjuicios que ocasionaba la circulación de la moneda feble boliviana a la economía del sur del Perú.

Fue elegido diputado por la provincia de Camaná (1851-1853) y diputado suplente por la de Caylloma (1851). Desempeñó interinamente el cargo de oficial mayor del Ministerio de Guerra y Marina. Asimismo, integró la comisión que redactó los códigos Civil y de Enjuiciamientos Civiles.

Elegido en 1852 vocal de la Corte Superior de Arequipa, en 1868 fue transferido a la Corte Superior de Lima.

El presidente José Balta lo nombró ministro de Justicia e Instrucción, en reemplazo del renunciante Luciano Benjamín Cisneros (1868-1869).  Finalizado dicho cargo, fue acusado por la Cámara de Diputados, juntamente con otros ministros, pero se defendió ante el Senado, el cual declaró sin fundamento la acusación.

En 1871 fue nombrado fiscal interino de la Corte Suprema. Por muerte de Manuel Toribio Ureta, pasó a ser fiscal titular en 1876. Nuevamente fue elegido diputado por Camaná (1872-1876).

Durante el segundo gobierno del general Mariano Ignacio Prado fue presidente del Consejo de Ministros y ministro de Justicia, Instrucción, Culto y Beneficencia (26 de agosto de 1876).   Bajo su período (1876-1877) estallaron dos intentonas revolucionarias dirigidas por el caudillo civil Nicolás de Piérola. La primera de ellas fue sofocada en Yacango, cerca de Moquegua, el 19 de octubre de 1876, y la segunda tuvo como episodio central la captura, por parte de los revolucionarios, del monitor Huáscar, a bordo del cual enfrentaron valientemente a dos fragatas británicas en el combate de Pacocha, el 29 de mayo de 1877. El episodio cimentó la popularidad de Piérola y provocó manifestaciones en Lima y Callao en protesta contra la injerencia británica. Ello originó la caída de La Rosa y su gabinete ministerial (junio de 1877).

Posteriormente, en su calidad de fiscal, La Rosa se encargó de refutar las exigencias planteadas por Augusto Dreyfus con respecto a la deuda peruana (1879).

Float level switches are a simple and effective solution for capturing fluid level. ATMI offers a wide range of floats level switches that are suitable for all types of water and liquids.
How to know the level of a liquid ? ATMI offers you a simple solution to put in place: water float level switches. The principle is the following: the float sensors are suspended above a tank. When the liquid level rises and reaches the float level switch, the float level switches and starts the opening of the filling pumps. To ensure the dual function of draining and filling and to regulate the level of the tank, two water level sensors must be positioned at maximum and minimum levels.
Thus, when the water drops back down to the lowest level, it is the turn of the lowest level detector to switch. ATMI offers a complete range of water sensors allowing you to use them in various applications. For example, the handling of drinking water for human consumption can not be done without the ACS certification. This is the case for the SOBA EP ACS certified, ATS 165 EP ACS certified , AQUA medium EP ACS certified water float level switches.
In the same way, the use of a float level switch in explosive environment requires an ATEX certification which is the case of SOBA Ex. Similarly, to measure the level of agitated water, it is then recommended to use a special detector with a large switching angle.


An associate in the Litigation section, Cameron Rountree brings substantial trial experience from his work in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. During that time he tried several jury trials in the federal courts of Hampton Roads and investigated cases with federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Drug Enforcement Administration; as well the Virginia State Police and various local law enforcement agencies.
Cameron's work at the U.S. Attorney's Office provided him an added perspective on the way the Eastern District functions. His prosecutorial work built upon a foundational experience as a law clerk to the Honorable Tommy E. Miller, U.S. Magistrate Judge.
At Williams Mullen, Cameron has focused his practice on commercial and general litigation and white collar investigations. In particular, he has represented clients in business ownership disputes, construction litigation, business tort and contract litigation, federal criminal defense and firearms industry practice. He also has extensive experience in the areas of export controls and ITAR compliance, advising his clients on the regulations involved with doing business overseas and helping to ensure compliance.
In June of 2015, Cameron graduated with distinction from the Naval War College, earning a Master of Arts in National Security and Strategic Studies. This advanced degree, coupled with his experience as a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy and his prosecutorial experience from his work in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, gives him a valuable perspective when advising on export controls regulations and compliance. He understands the bigger picture of trade laws and the reasoning behind them, rather than just knowing the letter of the law.
In addition to his M.A. from the Naval War College, Cameron also earned a Juris Doctor from the William and Mary School of Law, where he served as articles editor of the William and Mary Bill of Rights Journal. He earned his B.A. from the University of Virginia, where he double majored in Government (American Politics) and Spanish. Prior to attending law school, Cameron was a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy, deploying from east and west coast-based ships.
Cameron is an active member of the United States Navy Reserve. From March 2016 to March 2017, Cameron served as the Director of Future Operations and Crisis Action Planning for the Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa, where his command provided the initial Department of Defense response to a State Department request for diplomatic security assistance in Juba, South Sudan. His efforts earned him the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and the Joint Service Achievement Medal among other unit and campaign awards.

With all the spring rain of late, planning summer water sources for your bees is probably not in your radar as a new or returning beekeeper. But as city beekeepers, we need to be pro-active and vigilant in trying to reduce problems associated with normal bee behavior. Bees drinking at inappropriate places can cause serious neighbor friction and is a very difficult behavior to change.
I'm writing this because during recent sunny weather I had an elevated causeway of bees between hives and an old wooden planter by the house. This is a big problem as suddenly we were walking through bees to get to the backyard. However tolerant my family may be of all things bee, bees in the hair is not acceptable. If I think I have a bee burrowing in my hair I smack first and then determine if it was a bee or the wind.
I had failed to replace the bee bowl from dumping in the fall. The bees are clustering and drinking drainage water on the south side of the planter- warm and full of minerals and runoff from cow poop I put in the planter last fall.
This is a behavior I had to change, or at least guide to another spot.
I reset the 'water bowl' with rocks and moss and landing places. Threw some planter dirt in the bottom to make dirty water. Added a bit of bleach to imitate the beloved swimming pool taste and then then gradually started to cover the moist drinking areas from the planter with dirt.
The bees will, I hope, stop sharing information to others and shift to the bee bowl.
There are many theories about what is the most attractive water source for bees. More importantly to get those water sources out there before problems start.
Last year there were backyard fountains and pools that had to be covered with netting to stop bees, swimming pools that became impossible to use, dripping outdoor faucets covered with honey bees and more. Along with swarm control, it is very important to make every possible effort to water your bees in your yard rather than causing distress and anger in non-beekeeper yards.
