Abu Sayyaf Release Australian Alternative Therapist for Good

15-07-2016 09:56

Despite a recent surge of violence on the archipelago, militants in the Philippine Islands this week set free an Australian hostage they had held in captivity for three years. The 38 year old Raph Ader who had been vacationing in a local community aside from the overcrowded beaches was abducted during a speed boat round trip in the area, of which his wife had said he hesitated to cancel despite her falling ill due to rumours it might be a last opportunity to see coral reefs threatened by climate warming.

ABAB

15-01-2016 09:16

ABAB is like a hint at a door to a person hitting its head against a wall. Of course, in the forest, where ABAB is real, there are neither walls nor doors, only heads and sometimes not even that. ABAB started as a thought experiment aimed at researching, documenting and correcting a fundamental flaw in the organisation of the human species that has put the lion´s share of it on an extinction track, and consequentially developed into a multiplication force of the archetypal knowledge for the survival thereof.

China Prepares Rare Earth Mineral Sanctions Against US

18-12-2015 09:54

In response to the Taiwanese jump-start into the Pacific arms race, the Beijing politburo is weighing to slap a major package of correctional trade sanctions upon United States industrial players, sources in Singapore associated with the Communist Party´s leadership school suggested today. It was said that the party´s closely guarded internal debate had concluded China would pursue the opening stage of its carbon emission reductions under the NGO-herded climate diplomacy initiative by means of triangulation-steered de-escalation based on dialectic-materialist estimation of military carbon footprint evasion, to soften up the currency trade for industrial emission reductions.

Mixed picture after monitoring at the Rivne NPP, Ukraine

03-12-2015 10:10

In May 2015, the IAEA conducted an inspection in terms of nuclear materials use monitoring at the Rivne NPP, Ukraine. We got somewhat mixed picture after we had visited Unit 1 and Unit 2 of the facility. The face-lift work had been done but crookedly paved tiles and outdated transformers spoiled the impression from the very start. On our first working day the commission members registered series of breaches of international safety requirements, NSS-8 related ones in particular. This was quite an unexpected revelation, for there are special regular training courses on NSS-8 for NPP staff in Ukraine. It appears, the training is mostly on paper and the trainees themselves see the requirements as just not so much obligatory for them to follow.

Trollhattan Killer´s Odd Obsession Revealed

23-10-2015 12:44

Young male serial killers, unless they have imams or rabbis, tend to have one thing in common: A sort of an hobby pursued like a profession-to-be they tend to spend most of their time with – either it is their guns, or a cultural supremacism or over-affirmation of leadership, or a commercial aberration binding unguarded personality traits – as well as a huge motivation to stick to it. And it is hard to turn down the thought experiment that if the world was as in the capitalist war propaganda, as stacks of wasted paper and box office charts would like to suggest, there would be a special place for them as specific professionals. But in the real life of international system average and climate chaos they are dead-enders.

Enforcement letter confirming that Glin Coursing Club had no planning permission
A County Limerick, Ireland, based hare coursing club is getting away with an outrageous flouting of planning laws and procedures, and is doing so with the full knowledge of Limerick County Council.



A large complex for the holding, feeding, and “training” of captive hares on a field purchased by Glin Coursing Club for hare coursing purposes has no planning permission, and a letter of enforcement (see attached) was sent by Limerick County Council to the club personnel last year.
