The weather, the fine sand, the sun terraces ... The beaches of southern Spain are the favorite destination of many people arriving from around the world. Its large expanses of fine white sand are a fantastic claim. And not only that, there are hundreds of activities to do in them: surfing, boat rides, paragliding, etc.
The best beaches in southern Spain
Málaga, Cádiz, Almería ... In the ranking of the best beaches in Spain, those of Andalusia have a prominent place. And is not for less. The good weather makes the south an ideal holiday destination. Whether in family, with friends or as a couple, enjoyment and relaxation are guaranteed. Do you want to know some of the southern beaches?
1. Bolonia Beach, Tarifa (Cádiz)Bologna beach
This beach is considered one of the last virgin beaches of Spain. They emphasize its fine sand and its warm and crystalline waters. It has a length of 3800 meters and a width of 70.
It is an infinite beach, a perfect place for those looking for sun and waters that invite to bathe. Further, here you can see one of the most beautiful natural monuments in Spain: the dune of Bologna.
And being in a province that is the birthplace of surfing in Spain, how are we going to go without practicing it? Do not hesitate to hire this activity to spend a great afternoon riding the waves.
2. Playa de los Alemanes, Zahara de los Atunes (Cádiz)Germans Beach - Francisco Aguirre / Flickr.com
His curious name is due to the large number of Germans residing there after the Second World War. It is one of the best known in Spain, partly because famous personalities have spent the summer in this place for years.
Its sunsets are fabulous and on clear days the African continent is glimpsed. Many tourists, on the other hand, take advantage of their stay to be smeared with the mud of this area, famous for its usefulness in skin treatments
And since you are in this town of Cádiz, you have to try the star dish of its gastronomy, tuna from almadraba. An authentic delicacy.
3. The Calas de Roche, Conil (Cádiz)Roche coves
Is about Rocky beaches, surrounded by cliffs and vegetation. Its access is somewhat complicated, since you have to follow paths with stones and bushes. But it is worth it, without any doubt.
They are very quiet coves, although they are quite frequented in summer. You can take a pleasant walk between the coves when the tide is low. There is no better place to rest and enjoy an excellent natural environment.
4. Beach of the Dead, Carboneras (Almeria)Beach of the Dead - Pablo / Flickr.com
Despite its name, this is one of the most beautiful southern beaches. Access is difficult, since you have to walk along narrow paths, full of stones and bushes. But its beauty far exceeds the effort.
Its crystal clear waters and white sand will allow us to disconnect from everything. The best, let yourself be carried away only by the sound of the waves. But beware! Sea currents converge on it, so you have to be careful during the bath.
5. Maro Beach, Nerja (Málaga)Nerja Beaches
Nerja has become a popular tourist destination in recent years. And there we found this beautiful cove. Surrounded by cliffs and rock formations, It has a wild touch that impresses everyone who goes. The views are incredible, a place full of romance and tranquility.
6. Punta Umbría Beach (Huelva)Punta Umbría Beach
It is an urbanized beach, another option to enjoy the beauty of the southern beaches. In addition, it has the advantage of having beach bars where you can cool off or have a snack.
But The charm of this beach lies in the three protected areas that are along its length. They are the lagoon of El Portil, the Natural Site of the Enebrales and the marshes of the Odiel. A true wonder of nature.
7. El Rompido Beach, Cartaya (Huelva)
Yes, you read correctly, “El Rompido”. It has a special beauty: virgin vegetation, dunes and pine forests spreading all over the place. One of the curiosities that we find here is "the arrow of El Rompido", a curious sandy path that crosses the Atlantic Ocean towards a virgin beach.

Many experts have marked Columbine as the beginning of an uptick in random acts of violence in the United States. Younger Millennials and now Gen Z and Gen Alpha are dealing with the impacts of random acts of violence in schools, at concerts, and more. Acts of domestic terrorism can be hard to deal with, even if you weren't directly impacted – and the 24 hour news cycle doesn't help very much.
Here are some tips, tricks, and reflections about dealing with random acts of violence in your community. There is no “one size fits all” solution, and no way to completely eliminate the anxiety that comes from living in this modern world with easy access to weapons. But, there are some steps we can take to feel more secure.
Step One: Just Keep On Living.
If you're just affected by the news cycle, the best thing you can do is to keep living your everyday life. Take time to enjoy the little things. Spend time with your friends, family, and loved ones. Check in with other people who you think might be feeling anxious about what's happened recently. We all like to bottle up that angst inside, and it's just not good for us.
It's a normal reaction to be upset by major news of random acts of violence, school shootings, bombings, etc. It's even within the realm of normal reactions to be completely numb or disconnected from the news. For the most part though, we don't need to deviate from our normal routine. There's nothing that we, as individuals, can do in our day to day to prevent future acts of violence. Instead, we need to lean into organizing and collective action to get anything done.
Step Two: Be A Part Of The Solution.
There are a lot of reasons why someone might commit a mass violent crime. It's dangerous to “write them off” as mentally ill or unstable. This “others” the perpetrators. While it might make it easier for you to sleep at night, this behavior can make you less likely to take action in your own life, and less likely to see the warning signs in someone you love.
Instead, wholly embrace that person's humanity. Consider why – truly consider – they may have done this. Was it desperation? Religious zeal? Rage? What sort of systemic influences in their lives may have led to the action that they took? How could we, as a society, prevent future incidents like this from happening? What sort of interventions could take place?
Then, place your mojo behind that. Dive right in and join a town hall, donate to a nonprofit, run for town office. Go back to school for that degree because you're that invested in the outcome. Whatever you feel called to do – take the step.
In a spiritual sense, combating random acts of violence takes prayer; it takes magic and ritual; and it takes other physical action from believers, too. We can't just pray the hate away. We also need to clean up the breeding ground where it lives and grows in our everyday life. Without this, we won't be able to prevent future acts of hate.
Step Three: Be Compassionate
It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the news, like you'd be unable to ever save someone's life in a similar situation. Don't dwell in that place of anxiety for too long. It's a dark place, and you deserve better. So, after you've wallowed for a while, take a break and focus on your daily tasks. Bring comfort to the ones you love. Walk your dogs. And be kind to yourself.
Reflections on the Boston Marathon Bombing (2013)
I was incredibly busy this week; and saddened, yesterday, to hear about the tragedy in Boston. Already this morning, unfortunately, I've seen some divisive facebook posts from, “Traditionally, the crazy people are on the far right…” to “Why is it when there's a major tragedy everyone jumps on board to say “my prayers are with them,” but when there are everyday tragedies that aren't picked up by the media, no one cares?” If that doesn't make sense… I can't apologize, because, well, that's what they said. It doesn't make too much sense to me, either.
Part of the problem with bombings, and more generally, random acts of violence, is that we can't make sense of it. The majority of society can't understand the reasoning, and so, we get scared. Maybe this latest incident will keep you from running a marathon. I know that every time I cross campus (I work at a University), every time I go to the mall, or the grocery store… in the back of my mind sits the question, “What if today is the day that some clinically insane person is going to decide to take my life?”
I also know that there's nothing you can do about it. Some call it fate, some call it destiny. Some call it (un)luck. But the fact remains that no one, save the people who perpetrated the act of violence, will ever have prescient knowledge about pain/hurt/death in a location. So try not to let it worry you.
I've always found that my old high priest's reasoning about death is most comforting in this time. They've gone home. They suffered, yes, but they're home now. And thankfully, it's only been three people (at this point) who have made that journey home. We get to keep the rest of them for a little while longer.
I took a bit of time to come into work today. I cuddled with my animals, I let myself doze. I took a moment to grab some breakfast. I hope you did, too. Life is short, and you should value the time that you have. Because, unfortunately, we never know when our time is up.
This isn't a new phenomena, and it isn't the end of the world. There have been violently crazy people for centuries. The methods may have evolved (explosives over straight mutilation, for example), but the fact remains that a small percentage of the human race is determined to cause mayhem and pain.
Don't let this deter you from running. Or hiking. Or shopping. Or cycling. Or going out. Or living. When fear rules your life, the psychopaths win.

Today we managed to stay on smaller, less busy country roads by avoiding crowded coastal routes and the bigger towns. The rain also stayed away until late in the afternoon and there was even a bit of sun in the morning. In all we did 86km.
We first spent a bit of time exploring the old city of St Brieuc, there was a Saturday morning market on at the center. We then found a bike route to Hillan. It gave us some lovely views of the coast and river inlet from up on the hills amongst the corn fields.
After Hillan we took country roads through the towns of Morieux,Planguenoual, St-Alban, La Bouillie, Hénanbihen and Plancoet. All the towns had churches with tall steeples in the middle and stone buildings all round. Plancoet was the largest town we passed through and we stopped for coffee here. It is gorgeous with stone buildings looking onto the Arguenon river banks which are green with gardens on either side. We sat outside at the cafe overlooking the river. The cafe was not full and we were entertained when a older couple with two young boys pushed two small tables together. The cafe owner objected and separated them out again. The family then left to go to the cafe across the road (good for them).
From Plancoet the road seemed promising with a separate bike path. However this disappeared as soon as we left the town. This caused us to blunder onto a couple of side roads that then petered out looking for a bike path. After about 5km on a busy road, we were pleased to turn off onto a quiet secondary rood (after Corseul). This took us to Dinan via Quevert. The entry into Dinan was so painless that we were surprised when we saw a sign saying we were only 3km from Dinan.
True to form it started to drizzle (first rain of the day) as we entered Dinan. It was busy in the center with lots of slow traffic and pedestrians; being late on Saturday afternoon.
We were lucky to find a bed and breakfast on the outskirts of town with a private entrance and kitchenette and plenty of space. We went back into town in the evening but soon returned as it started to rain again.

Ditchling in Sussex. Tis the perfect village! Close enough to Brighton for excellent theatre and comedy, trains to London from Hassocks (5 mins drive), beautiful countryside, short drive to M23. Not stuck in the 1950s either, unlike some villages. Nearby Hurstpierpoint is also lovely and a bit bigger.
I was going to suggest the Horsham area, 15 mins to M23, 30 mins to Worthing & south coast, own cinema & theatre plus bigger ones in Crawley or Chichester for the Festival Theatre. Good schools in Horsham or Billingshurst.

Seventeen years ago, a new millennium was upon us, but fears over the Y2K bug somewhat spoiled the end-of-1999 party to which Prince had alluded. The British shoegaze movement, American grunge experiment, and standard alternative rock that defined the 90s had run out of steam, and audiophiles were eager for a new vibe to kick off the new millennium. The first two years were largely dominated by well established acts: U2, Madonna, Backstreet Boys, ‘N Sync, and Janet Jackson. Even Santana returned from the Twilight Zone thanks to someone named Maria.
Britney Spears had carried the torch for the teens into the 21st century and was briefly joined by a turning-20 Christina Aguilera. Throughout history, the teen stars who topped the charts had done so with dance pop songs and love ballads, and perhaps the new kind of star the masses longed for would be a teen who would shatter the mould. The call was answered by a small-town Ontario girl who grew up playing hockey with the boys. She had joined country superstar Shania Twain on stage in Ottawa. A record deal signed in the States, the Napanee native teamed up with production team The Matrix and sat on the grass in Los Angeles writing songs and convincing the team that the sound she wanted was something unusual for the demographic she represented.
Exactly one week before the debut of American Idol Season 1 came the release of album Let Go from a female teen rock star who was anything but manufactured. She was the real deal, a talented songwriter with a beautiful, wholesome, and powerful voice. And her name was Avril Lavigne. Let Go, her first album, sold 20 million copies around the world and was voted by a Rolling Stone readers’ poll as the fourth best album of the 2000s. The album was certified diamond in Canada.
Released on June 4, 2002, Avril Lavigne’s Let Go turns 15 years old tomorrow.
The album opens with “Losing Grip” that flutters around playfully before exploding into an ear-splitting rock chorus. “Complicated”, a juggernaut hit owing perhaps to its likeable sing-song melody, convinces the listener that Lavigne can straddle both pop and rock realms with ease. The punky power piece “Sk8er Boi” helped define one of the genre streams of the decade, influencing a number of acts. Soaring anthem “I’m with You” is arguably the best cut. It is deep, emotional, and when Lavigne, after her Rihanna-sampled yeah-yeahs and softening of her vocal touch, belts out sky-scraping “I don’t know who you are, but I … I’M WITH YOU” it literally makes goosebumps appear all over your body.
“Mobile”, our pick for the album’s most underappreciated track, contains one of the best rock choruses in the history of music, not to mention a perfect bridge. “Unwanted” delves further into rock territory returning to “Losing Grip’s” packed punch. “Tomorrow” proves Avril can handle the singer-songwriter realm very well. The unique percussion sound is a nice touch, and the song flows in such a way that it pulls you along with it. By the time you hear the catchy choruses on “Anything but Ordinary” and “Things I’ll Never Say”, the album will have you hailing it as a masterpiece, and it is just that. Lavigne gets personal in “My World” talking about growing up in Napanee. She tries her hand at rapping in “Nobody’s Fool”. “Too Much to Ask” is the emotional core of the album; it is heart-wrenching both musically and lyrically. As for closer “Naked”, it caps off the album on a sad note which makes you want to listen to the disc again.
Avril Lavigne’s Let Go is one of the finest albums of the 21st century. Happy 15th!

Starting in Wonder Woman vol. 2 #51, the Amazons, who had revealed their presence to the world in Wonder Woman vol. 2 #50, are blamed for a series of murders and for the theft of various artifacts. The Amazons are then taken into custody, Queen Hippolyta is nowhere to be found and Steve Trevor is forced by General Yedziniak to attack Themyscira. These events lead to the "War of the Gods" occurring. The culprit of the murders, thefts and the framing of the Amazons is revealed to be the witch Circe, who "kills" Diana by reverting her form back into the clay she was born from. Later, Wonder Woman is brought back to life and together with Donna Troy, battles Circe and ultimately defeats her. Circe would later return by unknown means.
Veronica Cale employed the toxicologist Colonel Poison, who led Team Poison, a team that attempted to capture Diana and Steve. In order to protect Diana in her vulnerable state, Steve had her admitted to a mental hospital in London. Team Poison continued to pursue Steve, Barbara and Commander Etta Candy, however. Barbara, who had been a member of Godwatch when she was Cheetah, decided to speak to Veronica herself. Cale and Doctor Cyber showed Barbara footage of Team Poison, who were about to kill her friends, and Barbara agreed to become Cheetah again in exchange for Veronica calling off the team and sparing their lives.
In March 2005, Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures announced that Joss Whedon would write and direct the film. Early drafts of his screenplay included Steve Trevor as the narrator, a fierce battle between Diana and her mother over Trevor's welfare, and after leaving Themyscira, his need to frequently rescue a Diana rendered helpless by the modern world. Whedon was not able to complete a final version of his screenplay, and left the project in 2007.
Although she has traditionally paired with either Steve Trevor or no one as a main romantic lead, and Superman with either Lois Lane or Lana Lang, there has often been the hint of a romance between the two characters. This began in the 1960 in the series Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane which was equal parts romance and action themed. In order to drive along the romance, the theme often came up of Lois Lane believing that Superman really loved Wonder Woman (though this was mostly for the purposes of a case.) In later years the same ideas perpetuated though most in imaginary stories or alternate tellings of the future. Following Crisis on Infinite Earths the characters were briefly linked romantically in Action Comics #600 which was written by John Byrne. Subsequently the characters' interest in one another was generally portrayed as a strong friendship (this occurred under different writers, primarily Messner-Loebs and Rucka.) Following the reboot of the DC universe into the new 52 the characters once again showed a romantic interest in one another. They found common ground in the isolation which their power give them and shared a kiss in Justice League #12 in 2012. It was later on revealed by Geoff Johns that their relationship wouldn't last for long and will end badly.
Diana's bulletproof bracelets were formed from the remnants of Athena's legendary shield, the Aegis, to be awarded to her champion. The shield was made from the indestructible hide of the great she-goat, Amalthea, who suckled Zeus as an infant. These forearm guards have thus far proven NIGH-indestructible (the Omega Beams of Grail have proven able to shatter them), and are able to absorb the impact of incoming attacks, allowing Wonder Woman to deflect automatic weapon fire and energy blasts. Diana can slam the bracelets together to create a wave of concussive force capable of making strong beings like Superman's ears bleed. Recently, she gained the ability to channel Zeus's lightning through her bracelets as well. Zeus explained to her that this power had been contained within the bracelets since their creation, because they were once part of the Aegis, and that he had only recently unlocked it for her use. After the 2011 relaunch of the character, it was revealed that Diana was the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta and that the bracelets are able to keep the powers she had inherited from Zeus in check. In addition, Hephaestus has modified the bracelets to allow Wonder Woman the sorcerous ability to manifest a sword of grayish metal from each bracelet. Each sword, marked with a red star, takes shape from a flash of lightning, and when Wonder Woman is done with them, the swords disappear, supposedly, back into her bracelets. As such, she has produced other weapons from the bracelets in this way such as a bow that fires explosive arrows, spears and energy bolts among others.
Hermaphroditus Wonder Woman #69 (April 24, 2019) Hermaphroditus is the God of Androgyny, Sexuality, Unions, Fertility and Marriage who is based on the god of the same name. In the DC Universe, Hermaphroditus is a transgender deity with angelic wings and goes by the name "Atlantiades". He revealed that he left Mount Olympus in hopes to get away from his mother Aphrodite and decided to take refuge on earth in a neighborhood called Summergrove in Connecticut. He used his powers to influence the Summergrove residents to submit to their inner desires.
The American theme of Diana's costume was explained by Pérez in the Challenge of the Gods storyline in which Diana engaged in a series of trials arranged by Zeus as punishment for refusing his advances. Diana met the spirit of Steve Trevor's mother, Diana Trevor, who was clad in armor identical to her own. Trevor revealed that during World War II she had crashed on Themyscira while on duty as a U.S. Army pilot. She blundered into an Amazon battle against Cottus, a multi-armed demon, at the portal to the underworld. Trevor was drawn into the battle, although she was armed only with her side arm. She wounded the beast before suffering a mortal blow, allowing the Amazons to reseal the portal.
Their first adventure together as a serious couple involved a battle with Doomsday, a monster of Kryptonian legend. Superman, already familiar to the monster, explained that Doomsday was sealed into a pocket dimension called the Phantom Zone. Seeking preparation against enemies that could match them in power, Wonder Woman asked Hephaestus to forge weapons for them. Later, the Justice League intercepted the arrival of General Zod, another Kryptonian survivor. Superman gave him shelter in the Fortress of Solitude, but the couple discovered their relationship was now public knowledge.
Due to the reboot of the character following Crisis on Infinite Earths, numerous things no longer made sense in terms of continuity as it related to the remainder of the DC Universe. As her first overall appearance was now in continuity around the Legends miniseries, it no longer made sense that she was a founding member of the Justice League of America. This founding position was instead given retroactively to Black Canary. Later it was decided that she should be given this position back and thus both she and Black Canary were considered founding members of the Justice League. In reference to the Justice League though, although she has more than 400 combined appearances therein, she has had most of her character development in her own series.
In 1972, just months after the groundbreaking US Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, science fiction author Samuel R. Delany had planned a story for Ms. that culminated in a plainsclothes Wonder Woman protecting an abortion clinic. However, Steinem disapproved of Wonder Woman being out of costume, and the controversial story line never happened.

Lauretta Onochie, social media aide of President Muhammadu Buhari, says the clash between the Department of State Services (DSS) and the convener of RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore, was stage-managed.
Onochie said in a comment made on social media on Saturday that Sowore’s supporters ‘pinned’ him down in the courtroom to put the DSS in bad light.
Sowore was rearrested on Friday at the Federal High Court in Abuja just hours after his release on Thursday night.
“So it was a stage managed drama in the court yesterday. Sowore pinned down by his supporters in a courtroom in order to give DSS a bad name,” Onochie said.
“There was no gun. No batton. No pinning down. Just plain drama, planned and staged by his boys and girls. Kudos, but every lie has an expiration date.
“Many EYEWITNESSES have said DSS was OUTSIDE the courtroom, not inside the courtroom.”

With Tim Johnson (Democrat, South Dakota) in critical condition after brain surgery, the Republican party is a heartbeat and one act of partisan cronyism away from regaining what the voters stripped it of in November’s election: Control of the United States Senate.
The state’s governor is a Republican, and among the many archaic anti-democratic elements of the US system of government is the rule that permits the governor of a state to appoint a replacement when a US Senator leaves office before the end of a term.
It is long past time to reform the mechanism for filling Senate vacancies. We should require a special election, just as is the case for vacant House seats. (The rule for the Senate is that the appointed replacement serves till the next general election and only then is there a special election. That would be 2008, and in this case the seat would have been up then anyway.) The governor’s nominee in the event Johnson cannot remain in office would require confirmation of the state legislature–controlled by the Republican party.
A Republican replacement would result in a 50-49-1 Senate. The one is, of course, independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, who has pledged to continue to caucus with the Democrats, despite defeating the Democratic nominee with an electoral coalition in 2006 that was overwhelmingly Republican and independent. Presumably, as was the case in Januaryâ€“May, 2001, if there were fifty Democrats (counting Lieberman) and fifty Republicans (with the appointed South Dakota replacement), the parties would evenly divide the committees and the agenda. But on any legislative matter or confirmation vote on which the GOP caucus was united, the Vice President’s tiebreaker–itself a vestige of bad institutional design–would tip the outcome in the Republicans’ favor.
I do not know if a Democrat would win a special election in South Dakota. Johnson won an extremely close reelection in 2002 (in an election in which a Libertarian had nearly six times the votes as the margin over the Republican) and the other Demcoratic Senator was defeated in 2004. However, 2006 was a very different year politically than in 2002 and 2004 (and particularly so in South Dakota!). Besides, it is the voters, and not partisan state officials, who should determine this critical (or any) seat.

The Patterson/Gimlin film appears to show a large, broad-shouldered, hairy bipedal creature. The creature is walking away into the tree-line, back into the wilderness from which it has been disturbed. The walk is distinctive, a legend in its right: purposeful, but somehow unhurried, with feet straight and arms swinging; majestic, though at times redolent of Groucho Marx in ambling retreat. Like, as the man says, a big man in no hurry. Patterson's extraordinary good fortune held out one more time: the creature turns its head back to look directly at the camera for about a second or two. It doesn't appear at all as interested in us as we are in it.
Proponents of the movie claim that it captures a real mystery, a Great Unknown of the biological kingdom; critics avow that it is not only a hoax, but the corniest of all illusions: a guy in a monkey suit. No one can deny, however, that lightning of certain kind struck in Bluff Creek that day. The PG Bigfoot film became a pop culture icon, and probably the most thoroughly and obsessively analysed piece of amateur celluloid after the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination. (It is possible that in some distant future era, these strangely compulsive vignettes of recorded time will begin to bleed into one another, as old tales and legends were apt to assimilate and blend together with frequent re-telling. One day perhaps, Sasquatch will haunt Dealy Plaza, and look with brief, inhuman disinterest on the horror of the motorcade, her presence generating yet another vector in the already dense undergrowth of associations swirling around that mysterious event. The strange ritual of the Apollo moon landing might acquire an extra degree of eerie portent, an increased sense of man stepping cautiously onto the soil of another world, if Sasquatch were to glance briefly at the astronauts and their fragile craft, before receding and finally vanishing into the blackness of space. All significant events of twentieth century history may conceivably become contaminated by memories of the PG Bigfoot film; and our descendants, saddled with the world we have made for them, may well resolve that Bigfoot bailed out at exactly the right moment.)
The Cottingley Fairies.
The activity of the Enfield Poltergeist - David Soul looks on.
Viewed today, the film remains a strange artefact. For many of us, it is a potent reminder of childhood, and of the unusual fascination and idealism that young children seem to possess with regard to wild beasts and mythical creatures. Like so many anachronisms of paranormal pop culture, it feels both corny and numinous. This is an aesthetic quality I have discovered with many hoaxes; even as they aspire to the miraculous by the most threadbare and tawdry means, they cannot help but directly evoke the quality of the miraculous. Like the photographs of the Cottingley Fairies, they arrest that mysterious part of the mind that generates these archetypes in the first place, even while the rational mind rejects their imposture on the spot. In Diamonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld, Patrick Harpur writes: "We watch the famous film of Bigfoot. It is both impressive and absurd. It looks like a man dressed up, and yet it doesn't. Its strides are too long, its arms hang or move inhumanly. It pauses, turns, looks at the camera. It is a chilling moment. We imagine a penetrating, intelligent gaze, but its face is too distant to be sure. It ambles off. We are left not knowing what we have seen. We believe it is a Bigfoot, whatever that is; or we don't believe it. The film compounds, highlights, intensifies the mystery, but nothing is resolved. Cameras may not lie, but neither are they suitable for telling the truth. Photos can be blown up or analysed until we're blue in the face; but the process turns the image into something else."
Weirdly enough, Greg Long, the author of a massive hit-piece against both Patterson and Bigfoot believers in general, writes very eloquently on the appeal of the film: "But there is more that compels the viewer. The creature's motions project a strangely familiar, yet elusive and unachievable idea. The idea points to something that is like us, but not us, both man and ape but actually neither. The ambling, androgynous creature suggests a living, breathing being that is utterly untouchable and free of man and the tyranny of his cities and the prison of his mass communications that shape our perceptions of reality, free from the fear of sudden violence coming from the hands of strangers or from a hidden, unknowable terror, walking away calmly, completely fearless in the face of the two hunters who could shatter its skull in an instant with a well-placed bullet. In the film, the creature is escaping, quietly stepping back inside the woods from which it came. And because it is freely escaping, it is undiscovered, never to be found, catalogued, recorded, numbered, or named. It is a powerful, American image, I thought. It's out-sized. It's strong. It's daring. It's confidence has a touch of sublime arrogance."
I have relatively little to say here as to whether the film is genuine or not. The circumstances surrounding it certainly evince extreme unlikelihood - the good fortune of Patterson and Gimlin beggars belief. Personally, I believe that if people really do see Bigfoot they are experiencing something more akin to the Ultraterrestrial hypothesis of John Keel - a kind of puzzling flashpoint where the creatures of the unconscious briefly manifest themselves as solid objects, and then vanish back into the ether like hallucinations. Which they may very well be - we have yet to even begin to understand the stranger vagaries of perception. But the movie itself offers little of conclusive import on either side. Some scientists have argued that aspects of the creature's anatomy, physical proportions, and movement make the man in a suit hypothesis virtually impossible. A greater majority have convincingly rubbished these claims. If Patterson's footage is hoaxed, then it remains one of the finer examples of the hoax genre - though generally discredited, it has never been conclusively debunked.
What interests me about the PG film is the degree to which it illustrates a point I was discussing earlier in relation to the Moon Landing hoax theories. One of the great tenets of belief underlining the early modern period was the notion that as our technological methods of recording, representing, and transmitting information become ever more accomplished, we leave behind forever the fuzzy imprecisions of an oral or essentially mythological culture. If information is only transmitted by means of the human voice, a vast space is opened up in the margins of error wherein mythologies can flourish. But if the recording/representational techniques are precise, then it should be possible to establish an objective record of the facts. However, the swirling seas of analysis, interpretation, and argument that surround movies like Zapruder, Apollo, and the PG Bigfoot film suggest instead that this never became the case. The visionary imprecision of the oral culture persists into the technological era, in the very technologies that should ideally have vanquished it. There is a brilliant cycle of movies that explore the haunted, elusive quality of modern recording technologies: Antonioni's Blow-Up (pictured above), Cappola's The Conversation, and de Palma's Blow Out.
Over the years, many people have emerged out of the shadows claiming to have worn the Bigfoot costume in Roger Patterson's film. The most prominent of these was Bob Heironimus, a Pepsi cola bottler from Yakima, Washington. Many sceptics have accepted his story, though it is as riven with inconsistency and dubious motivation as that of the original encounter. For years, rumours swirled around Hollywood's small, closely knit make-up effects community that the great John Chambers ( Planet of the Apes, The Outer Limits) was involved in the construction of the suit, but Chambers himself denies it, and the lead goes pretty cold after that. Roger Patterson died of cancer in 1972, swearing on his deathbed that the footage was genuine. Patterson was a strange man who seemed to live according to the very American ideals of freedom that Greg Long saw in the movie's bold Sasquatch stride. He was a tough, wiry fighter who lived by his own laws, especially as regards business and money; like the creature he allegedly captured on film, Patterson stepped briefly out of the margins into the limelight, and retreated back just as quickly. The following is his legacy:

The subject of abusive relationships isn’t often discussed. The reality is, however, that many of those around you are likely dealing with such a painful situation. From an online article at Focus on the Family’s site, some insights about emotional abuse:
…chances are you or someone you love is in an emotionally abusive relationship. Your abuser may be a spouse, a boss, a brother or a sister. You may have tried to ignore it, deny it and fix it. Perhaps you have even tried to accept it. But it hasn’t worked. This is your moment of truth. Are you willing to do what it takes to break the cycle of abuse in your life?
While the optimum situation is for both parties in an abusive situation to seek help, Dr. Tim Clinton, President of the American Association of Christian Counselors, insists one person can change the relationship.
“Change a person; change a relationship,” he says.
On the other hand, if the abuse is severe and occurring within the marriage relationship, it’s time to take bold steps and assert biblical, healthy boundaries.
“Sometimes separation can be a powerful attention-getting boundary if you’re fully ready to use it,” says Karla Downing, abuse survivor, counselor and author of 10 Lifesaving Principles for Women in Difficult Marriages. “The purpose of the separation can be to physically or emotionally protect you and your children or to convince your husband (or wife) that you’ll not continue to live the same way. Separation can also be by mutual agreement for each to work on your own problems separately with the goal of reconciling your marriage.”
Author and counselor Leslie Vernick discusses the warning signs of an emotionally destructive relationship and the necessary steps to stop it in this radio program. Listen, if not for yourself, so at the least you’ll be informed and ready to help that friend or family member who is in need.

State of emergency declared in Virginia after record COVID-19 surge
Gov. Ralph Northam (D) declared a limited state of emergency for Virginia on Monday to alleviate pressure on hospitals after the state has counted record COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in recent days.
The governor announced the emergency order that aims to boost hospital capacity and support “exhausted” health care workers after Virginia counted its highest daily COVID-19 hospital admissions on Friday.
The order designed to provide flexibility to strained hospitals and staff is set to last 30 days because of modeling predicting a peak of cases “in the next few weeks” following the omicron variant surge, the announcement said.
The order waives license requirements for hospitals to increase their bed capacity, permits out-of-state licensed providers to provide care in Virginia, grants physician assistants with at least two years experience to provide care without written agreements and gives some liability protections to physicians
Northam is only in office for a few more days, as Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin (R), who has the option of rescinding the order, prepares to be inaugurated on Saturday, although Northam anticipates Youngkin’s support.
“The Governor has spoken to the Governor-elect, and is hopeful this order will remain in place for 30 days or until no longer necessary,” Northam spokesperson Alena Yarmosky said in an email.
While the state points to the lowest case and death rates per capita, Virginia hospitals are still struggling with more than 3,500 COVID-19 patients statewide and rising flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) patients. Most of those hospitalized for COVID-19 are unvaccinated, the governor said.
Virginia’s average daily case count has nearly tripled in two weeks, nearing 14,700 infections per day, and hospitalizations have doubled to almost 25,000, according to The New York Times tracker. But deaths have mostly decreased since the end of December.
The highly transmissible omicron variant has sparked skyrocketing cases across the country, building pressure on hospitals nationwide.
Maryland similarly ordered a 30-day state of emergency last week as its overwhelmed hospitals deal with the influx in patients. The D.C. Hospital Association has asked Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) to initiate a state of emergency, and the mayor said Monday that the administration is considering its petition.

Rogue One gave the Star Wars spin-offs a running start when it landed at Christmas, and will soon be out on DVD and Blu-ray so we can watch it back-to-back with A New Hope and see just how well they line up.
The home entertainment release naturally comes with a bunch of extras (although no deleted scenes). Digital Spy got a preview of the special features, and here's what we learned.
1. Design work began on Rogue One before it had a director or writer
Industrial Light and Magic chief creative officer John Knoll came up with the idea for Rogue One over a decade ago. He suggested a story for the planned Star Wars live-action TV show based on the events sketched out in the opening crawl for A New Hope.
The show never happened, but he revived the idea when Lucasfilm began planning standalone spin-off movies. Knoll and his ILM colleague Doug Chiang began working on designs for the movie even before a director and writer had been found to develop Rogue One.
2. K-2SO began life as a riff on C-3PO
The original pitch for Alan Tudyk's droid K-2SO described him as the "anti-C-3PO". As seen in the original Rogue One concepts above, the first design for K-2 was literally a black version of Threepio. His final design was inspired by one of the old droid sketches by legendary artist Ralph McQuarrie, who designed much of the original look of Star Wars.
3. Alan Tudyk was distractingly funny on set
The above image by ILM senior art director Christian Alzmann was the first concept created for Rogue One.
Like Rey in The Force Awakens, Jyn Erso was planned to be the leader of the team from the very beginning. She's the redhead in the pilot's uniform.
5. Riz Ahmed was almost too enthusiastic about Rogue One
Even after he got the job, he kept emailing Edwards more videos. And more videos. Well, at least he left no room for doubt about his commitment to the film...
6. Galen and Jyn's father-daughter relationship spilled over into real life
The cast and crew heaped praise on Mads Mikkelsen's paternal instincts over footage of him playing with Beau and/or Dolly Gadsdon, who played the young version of Jyn.
Felicity Jones was definitely feeling the love, admitting that she started shouting "dad!" every time she saw her on-screen papa.
7. Monsters convinced Lucasfilm to hire Gareth Edwards
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and her colleagues were convinced that Gareth Edwards should direct Rogue One after screening his first feature film, the acclaimed, small-budget science fiction movie Monsters.
8. There is no questioning Gareth Edwards's Star Wars fandom
The Making Of feature includes photos from Edwards' 30th birthday, which he spent in Tunisia on the set of A New Hope. He can even be seen drinking blue milk in the kitchen of Luke Skywalker's childhood home on Tatooine.
9. Originally trilogy designer Ralph McQuarrie was a huge influence
Many of the design work on Rogue One was inspired by Ralph McQuarrie's work – to the point where Doug Chiang described him as the "foundation" of Rogue One's design.
The filmmakers said that one of the key challenges of the film was making sure it looked like a Star Wars film without being a complete copy of A New Hope.
10. Jyn really, really hates the Empire
"When Jyn sees stromtroopers, she just wants to annihilate them," said actress Felicity Jones.
That explains the absolute fury with which she purées those troopers on Jedha. We guess having your family and childhood destroyed by the Empire will do that to a person.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on April 10.

Jeanette Jennings and Greg Jennings Wiki – Jeanette Jennings and Greg Jennings Biography
Jeanette Jennings and Greg Jennings are parents of Jazz Jennings, Transgender star Jazz Jennings of ‘I Am Jazz’ fame recently opened up about her weight gain and how she was embarrassed by her own family, something that has left the young reality icon devastated. Jazz, 21, had previously opened up about her struggles with depression and anxiety, along with the postoperative limitations of gender transformation surgery. Her parents, Greg and Jeanette Jennings have been criticized time and again for overloading Jazz with expectations of her.
Harvard University student Jazz Jennings spoke candidly about her weight gain in the trailer for the upcoming season of TLC’s ‘I Am Jazz’. She also uncovered her binge eating disorder and increased appetite as a side effect of some of her medications. However, she shared that her family constantly embarrasses her in one way or another. “I experience the shame of my family. It makes me feel really humiliated,” she shares. In another scene from the trailer, her family can be seen questioning her about the amount of butter in her pasta.
Fat family – embarrasses YouTuber with eating disorder
Jennings came out as transgender at the age of five and has received support from her parents throughout her gender transition journey. However, his parents were often criticized by viewers for their authoritarian nature, which often wreaked havoc on Jazz’s sanity.
Jazz is the youngest of Greg and Jeanette Jennings’ four children, which also include Ariel, 22, and twins Sander and Griffen. The Jennings started the TransKid Purple Rainbow Foundation to help other trans kids like Jazz. His mother Jeanette is also particularly known for starting the #JazzHans movement on social media to raise awareness of trans kids.
Parents became famous for allowing their children to undergo expensive hormonal therapies and medications from early childhood. In fact, Greg once proudly shared in an interview with ABC, “Jeanette and I are 100 percent in agreement on how we should raise Jazz. We do not encourage, we support. And we keep listening to what he tells us. ”
The family also resisted death threats from transphobic people when their show first aired, at a time when awareness of gender identity was highly regressive. However, behind their “perfect parents” facade, viewers have often detected certain unwanted traits in Greg and Jeanette’s attitude toward Jazz.
Some of the fans couldn’t help but notice how the reality star was often pressured by her family to act a certain way and make decisions that they thought were correct. One of the best examples of this was Jazz’s decision to choose a college.
Jazz had to decide whether he wanted to go to Pomona College or Harvard University. Although everyone suggested that Harvard would be a better fit for her, Jazz thought otherwise. She thought she would feel right at home in Pomona as she hinted that she didn’t want to take the stress that came with Harvard University. Ultimately, she focused on Harvard, which many felt was a forced decision by her parents.
Jazz also hinted that she feels the pressure to be a role model for everyone around her and broke down in tears when she admitted that she was struggling to regain her sanity. Now, she has openly criticized her family, which includes her parents, brothers, and her grandmother, for embarrassing her quite often.
“Two years ago, I was heading to one of the best institutions in the world, but in reality, I was seriously struggling with mental health issues. I started bingeing and gained weight and more weight and more weight. And now, almost 100 pounds heavier, here I am today, “he shared as he revealed his current weight at 234 pounds. “With all this extra weight, I can’t do as many things with my body that I could before,” she admitted.
While venting about her battle with binge eating, Jazz Jennings shared how she wanted to lose weight for herself and her family, but she was afraid of disappointing them. “Really the most important thing I’m trying to do is love my body for what it is. Even though I’m trying to lose weight and get healthier, I have yet to learn how to feel comfortable in my own skin right now,” she said. she said she in the trailer.
Meanwhile, her mother complains about Jazz’s weight gain and says, “Even when we think we’re doing something right, she falls off the wagon.”


Writer Brilliantly Explains the Orgasm Gap!
In an open letter for Feministing.com, writer and feminist, Reina Gattuso, details her experience with a gentleman where they had what she calls “normal boring hetero sex” due to the fact he came and she didn’t.
It seemed to be a common scenario for her that went something like this:
“We make out, you play with my boobs, I blow you, you do not go down on me even though I ask [*insert some bullshit on how “I only go down on women I’m in love with. Now put it in your mouth.”]. Penis goes in vagina, penis moves in and out of vagina, penis causes air to enter vagina and makes a lot of funny farting sounds, someone actually farts and pretends it is a funny vagina farting sound but it was totally a real fart, penis ejaculates.
You roll off of me, get up, take the condom off/pee/do whatever it is people with penises do in the bathroom immediately after they’ve come (world’s great, great mysteries), put your pants on, come back into bed, and fall asleep. Sex is now over. Sex is now over because you have decided it is over. You have decided sex is over because you are a man, and because this choreography that favors men with penises — man becomes erect, man penetrates woman, man ejaculates — is what we have been told sex is. Because we’re brainwashed.”
Gattuso goes on to explain the orgasm gap, which is when it comes to men-women sex, men have orgasms a whole hell of a lot more than women.
It should also be noted Gattuso is lesbian and even though she’s had multiple male sex partners, the majority have been women.
She writes, “Lesbian sex and relationships have their own problems (oh buddy you better believe me they do), but we can think about the existence of lesbian sex (which often occurs without a penis or without the presence of a male) as disproving the idea that sex ends when men get off. One can have sex in ways that don’t inherently depend on male pleasure…
You can fuck like a girl.
Because I don’t feel like the primary distinction between my lesbian sexual experiences and my hetero ones is a matter of anatomy. Rather, it’s overwhelmingly a matter of gender and the way we’re trained to get off. Women tend to be trained to think about other people more, to care for other people and to provide things to them, and to demand their own gratification less (this is why you think I currently sound like a selfish bitch for simply asking you to consider me your equal). The best partners I’ve had, of whatever gender (but step up your games, guys, because I mostly mean women) asked questions. They were creative. They were kind. They played with me. We collaborated. If one of us came and was so goddamn tired we needed to fall immediately asleep and could not bear to flick our wrists another moment, we said so, and that was okay, because it was not merely assumed as par for the course.”
Gattuso ends with, “Sexual equality is just one part of creating a world in which those with more power are trained to prioritize those with less power.”

India to launch new tender for 20 GW battery manufacturing capacity by 10 Aug
For the 20 GW that went unallocated, fresh bids are being invited. The tender should be in the public domain by 10 Aug, said Kamran Rizvi, Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries.
New Delhi: The Ministry of Heavy Industries is planning to launch a new tender by 10 August for setting up of 20 Gigawatt of battery energy storage capacity as part of the larger plans to speed up the nation's electric mobility mission.
The government had earlier tried to award 50 GW capacity under the PLI scheme for ACC battery storage, of which 20 GW remained unallotted. "For the 20 GW that went unallocated, fresh bids are being invited. We are holding a stakeholder consultation with the prospective bidders on 24 July and the tender should be in the public domain by 10 Aug," said Kamran Rizvi, Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries.
He was responding to a question asked by G20 Sherpa and former Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant on the status of India's preparedness on battery capacity front, at a seminar on "Enabling Policies to Accelerate E-Mobility" as part of the 14th Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) and Mission Innovation (MI) 8 meetings in Goa.
Rizvi said out of the 30 GW capacity that the government allotted in the beginning, 20 GW went to Ola Electric whose manufacturing plants are coming into production by the end of this year. "It will be a graded one. It will start with 5 GW and then scale up to 20 GW in the next one year. Our other partner is Reliance Industries (RIL). They have acquired the technology of Sodium Ion cells and their plant is also coming up," he said.
The MHI secretary also said that this will bring the entire 50 GW of the government funding in this area in the public domain. "Additionally, private companies have also announced around 50 GW at their own initiative. So, around 100 GW of manufacturing capacity is lined up in the next 2-3 years," he said.
Rizvi also informed the audience that the government is working on another proposal to manufacture 5 GW of niche technologies for battery manufacturing. The ministry is looking for 10 different technology partners who are working on these upcoming and niche technologies and its details will be out in the public domain by September.

I was all excited for InkTober, and then I procrastinated the first day. Most of the InkTober prompts are verbs which I find hard. I used a prompt from doodlewash.com – leaves. Of course it was dark as I searched for leaves in the yard!
Day 2 I used a prompt from both InkTober – divided, and doodlewash – apples. But I wasn’t thrilled with my results. It’s kind of a “which comes first?” question. If I start in watercolor, I build up the layers and then add a little ink. If I start in ink, I use a lot of ink details and then add a little watercolor.
Day 3 I didn’t follow any prompts and drew a seagull.
Day 4 the new scarecrow on the porch was calling to me.
I’m getting into the groove. If you want to see my InkTober posts day by day follow me on Instagram @eileenmckenna.🙂

Yes, and I look forward to your monthly newsletter! I did a couple of inktober posts but I need to focus more on one thing. I might do a couple more, but I’ve got to keep my focus on watercolor. Otherwise I end up going in too many directions, which is not a good thing for my brain! Your inking drawings are terrific, as always! I especially love the seagull because it reminds me of the ocean 🙂
Thanks Carol! I know what you mean – I’m trying to get into a groove so it doesn’t take away from my painting time.
Seagull is ink wash or watercolor?
Nice!!! Loved your interpretation of ‘divided’ using apples. Even I am not following prompts regularly but when I do, I like how it pushes me to try stuff out of my comfort zone.
It is fun to interpret the prompt your own way. I think that’s why I shy away from the verbs – it’s so open! 😂
I know! Verbs are so tricky. 😓
Keep the creative posts coming. Following you on Instagram already. 😊
I can tell you are having fun,cool drawings!
Thanks Sharon! It’s definitely an eclectic mix 😂

Salmon swimming freely through Fraser River landslide site, officials say
Decreasing water levels and rock scaling work are believed to have helped make a path for the fish
Large numbers of sockeye and chinook salmon have started to swim freely through a section of the Fraser River that had been blocked by a landslide, officials announced Wednesday.
The incident management team said they have ceased helicopter transfers of fish after observing many of them negotiating the obstacles created by the landslide, north of Lillooet, B.C., unaided.
Decreasing water levels and rock scaling work are believed to have helped make a path for the salmon to continue migrating upstream.
Officials said they will now start monitoring pink salmon — which do not have the same size or swimming speed as other salmon species — to see if they will also be able to get past the slide.
Crews had conducted a successful trial run of transporting salmon upstream by truck earlier this week.
They said an estimated 28,780 salmon have passed the slide on their own, while nearly 57,000 have been transported by helicopter.

The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) and 17 other organizations are challenging the new Waters of the U.S. Rule in a lawsuit. AFBF Deputy General Counsel Travis Cushman said the new WOTUS rule once again gives the federal government sweeping authority over private lands.
“The EPA just came out with another rule that doubles down on the significant nexus test, which is this unworkable test for jurisdiction of when the federal government regulates farms and ranches. So, we filed our lawsuit to stop it,” Cushman said.
The new rule greatly expands the federal government’s regulatory reach over private land use because it allows it to regulate ditches, ephemeral drainages, and low spots on farmlands and pastures. This could impact everyday activities such as plowing, planting and fence-building in or near these areas. This rulemaking brings us further away from the clarity and predictability achieved by the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR). This is important for farmers and ranchers because the penalties for non-compliance are significant. A simple misjudgment by a farmer in determining whether a low spot is or isn’t subject to the regulation can trigger substantial civil fines as well as criminal penalties.
“We think that a farmer and rancher should not have to hire a team of lawyers and consultants to figure out what they can and cannot farm on their land. This rule doubles down on that, and we simply want to respect the limits of the Clean Water Act and what a farmer can and can’t do on their land,” he said.
The new rule comes as AFBF and others await a pending decision from the Supreme Court in the case of Sackett v. EPA, which is related to a former version of the rule.
“It highlights how insane it is that EPA is going through with this rulemaking now. That decision, which could come out at any time, will likely delineate the scope of what the Clean Water Act is. For the EPA to try to jump the gun here and do something before the Supreme Court says what the proper limit is, makes no sense. And it creates
more confusion in an area that has already been confusing for the past 10 to 20 years,” Cushman said.

- The Safe Drinking Water Act is the primary law that protects all public drinking water supplies across the United States. Changes to Clean Water Act regulations do not reduce Safe Drinking Water Act protections.
- The Clean Water Act regulates our nation’s “navigable waters”—also called “waters of the United States.” It imposes huge fines or even criminal liability for putting almost anything into those waters without a federal permit.
- The Clean Water Act recognizes that some surface waters should be regulated by the federal government, while some should be protected under state law. The NWPR clarified which waters are subject to which type of protection. In particular, it preserved state authority over many land features that only carry water when it rains.

Multiplex beefs up ahead of Wembley handover
WEMBLEY stadium builder Multiplex has beefed up its UK management structure just weeks before the Australian developer is due to hand over the complex for two warm-up games before the FA Cup.
James Tuckey, former boss of British developer MEPC, takes over as executive chairman of UK operations after four months as a non-executive director.
Tuckey will be in charge of the construction arm responsible for Wembley and of the development business, with projects including the revamp of Cricklewood in north London. Ross McDivern has been promoted to chief operating officer, making him second in power to chief executive Andrew Roberts.
Multiplex's former UK managing director Noel Henderson and former group chairman John Roberts quit last May over mounting losses relating to the Wembley project.
Martin Tidd, head of the UK construction division, admitted two weeks ago there was only a 70% chance Wembley would be ready in time to host the FA Cup.

Summary: During the opening ceremony of the 53rd Ordinary session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, the Chair, Madame Catherine Dupe Atoki, condemned any reprisals against human rights defenders engaging with the mechanism.
Several African human rights instruments acknowledge the importance of the role played by human rights defenders, and call for States to take steps to ensure their protection. Equally, through its resolutions and practice the African Commission has demonstrated that it considers human rights defenders’ contribution to be essential to the work of the mechanism. Whilst the African Commission has previously passed a resolution condemning reprisals, such intimidation and attacks continue.
‘We know of human rights defenders who are not participating at the Commission meeting today because of the intimidation they experienced at the last session and when they returned home. They consider the risks too high,’ said Mr. Voule.
Hundreds of defenders from across the continent and beyond, gathered together for the NGO Forum from 5-8 April, unanimously passed a resolution calling on the Commission to act.
‘An attack against a human rights defender or anyone engaging with the African Commission is an attack against the Commission itself,' said Mr. Voule. ‘The NGOs attending the forum sent a clear message that now’s the time for the Commission to take concrete steps to establish a reporting and follow up mechanism to prevent reprisals and provide effective redress to victims when they occur.’
The under-resourcing of the activities of the African Commissioners and Special Procedures is well known. However, resource constraints are not reason enough for the Commission to stop at mere words. We are convinced that initial steps with no or limited resource implications can be taken immediately, said Mr. Voule.
The lack of protection for human rights defenders across the African continent is frequently highlighted by activists during statements made to the Commission. Reprisals against those engaging with the mechanism are evidence of that broader insecurity for defenders. The Commission has an opportunity to take action to stop attacks when they occur at the Commission meeting. The Commission has a responsibility to do so, given that many defenders engage with the mechanism precisely because space to claim and defend rights at national level is so limited.
With the recent UN resolution ensuring enabling environments for defenders, ISHR calls on the African Commission to echo these demands on states, as part of its effort to promote and protect human rights defenders in their legitimate work.
‘Over the decade that ISHR has regularly attended Commission sessions, we have seen a sharp increase in the numbers of defenders engaging at the Commission in a bid to hold their states to account for their human rights obligations under the African Charter. The African Commission’s own ways of working must continue to improve to ensure that the commitment shown by defenders to support and engage with the Commission is facilitated and acknowledged,’ said Mr. Voule.
ISHR Statements to the ACHPR
- Statement under Item 4 on 'reprisals and criminalization'
- Statement under Item 6 on 'national human rights institutions'
- Statement for item 6 on 'cooperation between the ACHPR and NGOs'

text: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What grade of Matcha is this, and how do I use it? This is Classic Ceremonial Grade Matcha, which is meant to be prepared as tea. The traditional preparation is to simply whisk the Matcha powder with hot water, then enjoy. What’s the difference between Culinary and Ceremonial grades? Simple: Culinary grade is meant for mixing into recipes as an ingredient, while Ceremonial grade is meant to be prepared traditionally as a tea (just mixed with hot water and whisked). Ceremonial allows you to enjoy the true taste of Matcha, as the Japanese have for centuries. Does it contain caffeine? Yes, each half-teaspoon (1g) serving contains roughly 34mg of caffeine, about 1/3 a cup of coffee. However, Matcha also contains L-Theanine, which has a calming and leveling affect, so it doesn’t make you feel jittery or wired like coffee does. What are other health benefits? – Boosts metabolism and helps burns calories – Calms and relaxes you from stress or anxiety – Rich in antioxidants (137x the amount in conventional green tea!) Can I still use Ceremonial Grade in recipes? Of course! Many iced tea and cocktail recipes even specifically call for Ceremonial Grade Matcha. Where does this Matcha come from? Our Matcha is grown by Nagata Chaen, a single estate, organically focused family farm near the city of Uji in Kyoto, Japan. What if I don’t like it? If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase for any reason, just email us and we’ll refund your order in full, no questions asked.
