I can thoroughly recommend Arohanui, Carmen xx At Wellington Museum in the old Harbour Board, Queen's Wharf until Feb 18 Great exhibition, fabulously curated, encompassing her whole life. You can even pick the phone and listen to the legend!

The Ökobauern programme was developed specifically to tackle nitrate levels in drinking water. Nitrogen CAN be targeted with enough political will #nzpol
Today, 185 farms have converted, farming around 4,650 hectares, one of the largest organically farmed areas in Germany.

The result: nitrate levels dropped from 15 mg/l to around 7 mg/l. Pesticide levels fell dramatically. 

And the cost of the entire water protection scheme: 0.005 euros per cubic metre of water. 

The estimated cost of a filtration plant they avoided: 0.23 euros per cubic metre. Forty-six times cheaper to pay the farmers.

This is what true pricing looks like in practice.

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbours to be loved 

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of god's wrath but never a source of god's mercy, generosity, or compassion

For Americans who don't know their own history, some recommended reading www.davemanuel.com/us-military-...
Marine Major General Smedley Butler, the most decorated Marine of his era, wrote in 1935: "I spent 33 years in the Marines. I helped make Mexico safe for American oil interests. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers."This list is almost certainly incomplete. The U.S. government has acknowledged that its covert operations - particularly those conducted by Special Operations forces under secretive authorities like Section 127e and Section 1202 - often evade public documentation. The MIP researchers at Tufts University themselves note that their post-9/11 count is "an undercount." Additionally, this list excludes purely economic warfare (sanctions) and diplomatic coercion, which would add many more countries.

I say “fuck them” because this is a program—announced, funded, and now affirmed in a British court—running exactly as intended. This machine’s money, personnel, and half-century of patience do not stop at Britain’s shoreline. Cofnas’s ruling, Harper’s cover, a chancellor’s commissioned report, and the money behind them, are gears and levers of one transatlantic apparatus; turned on both shores by many of the same people, and pointed at the same target. Still, we are not the ultimate target: behind us is a public, in Britain and America, kept from seeing how it is governed, by whom, and in whose interest. The standing of Black scholars—the fields and institutions and access we built on both sides of the water—forms a barricade they mean to clear in higher education, cultural institutions, and philanthropy, toward that end.

As I walked out the north gate with my small box of belongings, I finally understood the warning: “Be discreet.” The White House had needed me. Trump officials had known I was trans from day one. This hadn’t been an issue until it was public—­and then nothing else I’d done mattered. Not my service, not my war-zone tours, not even which restroom I used.

I was the wrong kind of American.

Most of #israHELL and the IOF can be... "...accused of repeatedly portraying Israel as genocidal, colonialist and fascist." #FreePalestine
UKLFI further said "Millie Manders and the Shutup was accused of repeatedly portraying Israel as genocidal, colonialist and fascist."Since it was founded in 2011, UKLFI has been at the forefront of efforts to discredit and pressure individuals and organisations that criticise Israeli policies or express solidarity with Palestinians.

They didn't send ICE after a single street gang. 
They didn't send soldiers to recover missing children. 
They didn't arrest or deport a single person on the Epstein list.
They went after law-abiding housekeepers,  gardeners, cooks, teachers,  single moms and car wash workers.

Just asking questions
However, as you would no doubt point out (as many already have), you’re not stating that ADHD is a myth. You’re just asking the question. So it’s OK, that’s perfectly fine.

If that is the stance being adopted to here, I must ask my own important question.

Is everyone involved with the making of this programme on the sex offender’s register?

Now, I have no direct evidence to suggest this is the case, but I do know some people who have expressed such concerns. They’re not exactly experts in this issue, but that doesn’t matter, the concerns are the main thing, aren’t they?

In the aftermath of Saturday’s action, Theodore, another demonstrator who is a case manager and transgender man in his 30s, said he was surprised by the sheer level of vitriolic backlash. But for the most part, in his experience, it wasn’t in the bathrooms. It was on social media.

When news broke of their small but mighty protest, there were threats of rape and violence, of people calling them pedophiles, of people spewing anti-trans conspiracies and hatred.

#israHELL #zioNAZIs #genocide #FreePalestine
the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aims to make Palestine disappear physically, economically, culturally and politically.

This is happening on our watch. The lack of accountability that has allowed Israel to act in this way is unconscionable. The impunity must be stopped.

Thirteen billion dollars. Publicly, about three hundred million of it can be traced arriving in the capital city Caracas.

The rest of it though? We have no idea where it is. Secretary Rubio told Senate Foreign Relations the arrangement was short-term, with the money in an account in Qatar. In April, the State Department said about three billion had gone back and that quarterly reports were coming. Since that, we’ve heard nothing else about it.

Meanwhile the President has said the money “will be controlled by me,” and that the United States is “making a lot of money” off Venezuelan oil.

Fishmeal and fish oil factories stripping the oceans for animal feed #ProtectTheOceans
For over 30 years, Senegalese fisherman Baye Biram, has made his living in the ocean. Now, it can barely sustain him. Baye is yet another victim of the fishmeal and fish oil factories' destructive fishing practices.

 

The reality he is faced with is devastating. The few fish still left in the water are being caught, ground into fishmeal, and shipped abroad to feed animals. As a result, he’s now forced to take increasingly dangerous risks in the deep sea for his daily catch.

 

Industrial trawlers have stripped the shore bare of the fish he could easily catch before. Putting a simple meal on the table for his family is becoming increasingly difficult.This industrial plundering has devastating consequences. In Senegal, fish consumption has plummeted by nearly half, and young men are risking dangerous migration across the high seas toward Europe in a desperate bid to find work and feed their families.

 

But the communities are also fighting back. Through unyielding citizen mobilisation, they successfully shut down a destructive Kayar fishmeal factory in Kayar, Senegal.

 

Yet, without sustained legal and public pressure, these hard-won victories remain incredibly fragile – especially as the government continues to grant opaque licenses to foreign vessels.

Footage published by the Presidential Office from a coordination meeting with the command of the Ukrainian Navy also showed a situation board summarizing Russian naval losses. The image, later highlighted by Defense Ministry advisor Serhii Sternenko, listed the following figures for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet:

Main combat ships: 33 total—4 destroyed, 8 damaged;

Landing ships: 34 total—15 destroyed, 10 damaged;

Auxiliary vessels: 23 total—3 destroyed, 9 damaged.

The figures provide one of the clearest official visual summaries released to date of Ukraine’s assessment of damage inflicted on Russia’s naval forces in the Black Sea during the war.

When the richest person on the planet, who owns one of the biggest social media platforms, spends his days and nights, even his own birthday, amplifying anti-migrant rhetoric, boosting far-right agitators, and promoting films that glorify vigilante violence as the answer to migration, he is not starting a debate – he is starting a fire.Imagine the world’s most prominent Muslim used a platform they owned to promote a film celebrating violent revenge against white Europeans.

Imagine the protagonist’s targets were explicitly targeted because they were white, Christian or Jewish.

Would that Muslim public figure be defended as a champion of free speech?

Would they be praised for challenging political correctness and government censorship?

The setup runs as a loop. A unit completes a combat mission, receives e-points, and picks the hardware it needs off the marketplace. It gives frontline units a direct line to manufacturers and gives the state something harder to come by: a running record of which weapons actually work on which part of the front.

My one vain hope is that the theology of deregulation dies with him.
Greenspan finally acknowledged that the crisis caused him to rethink his free market ideology. “I have found a flaw,” he told a congressional committee. “I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interest of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms …. I was shocked.”

Shocked? Shocked that the free market would succumb to greed, self-dealing, betting, and fraud? Shocked that decades of deregulation of Wall Street would plunge the nation and the world into crisis? Please.

As Battah remarked to me, the media’s acceptance and deployment of such arbitrary vocabulary creates “artificial structures” and a sense of orderliness, when in reality “there’s no yellow lines, there’s no yellow, there’s no colors—these are just illegal invasions.” And because media are committed to sanitizing Israel’s behavior rather than questioning it, “colonization becomes normalized.”As for why this fight started in the first place, the media can somehow never summon the energy to explain that Hezbollah owes its very existence to Israel’s apocalyptic 1982 invasion of Lebanon that killed tens of thousands of Lebanese and Palestinians, prompting the group’s formation. Indeed, Israel’s lengthy history of invading Lebanon—not to mention its 22-year occupation of the south of the country, which ended in its ignominious eviction by the Hezbollah-led Lebanese resistance—would seem to be pretty crucial context in terms of understanding the current war.

Excerpts from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you they belong not to youFor life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. 
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth
