So it’s a bit odd to hear a U.S. representative seemingly brag about how well the Viet Cong performed, and suggest that armed civilians could and should do similar damage on American soil. Cawthorn’s comments follow remarks from Rep. Matt Gaetz wherein the Florida lawmaker lashed out at tech companies for harboring alleged conservative biases, telling supporters: “The internet’s hall monitors out in Silicon Valley, they think they can suppress us, discourage us. Maybe if you’re just a little less patriotic, maybe if you just conform to their way of thinking a little more, then you’ll be allowed to participate in the digital world. Well, you know what? Silicon Valley can’t cancel this movement, or this rally, or this congressman. We have a Second Amendment in this country, and I think we have an obligation to use it.” (Harlan Hill, a spokesman for Gaetz, has insisted that suggestions that the congressman was encouraging people to take up arms against Silicon Valley are “willful lies,” telling The Washington Post: “The wildly irresponsible mis-framing of the Congressman’s comments is designed to divide America and we demand it stops.” Gaetz has also said he was taken out of context.)

Pećina Orlovača, Pale, Republika Srpska / BiH – Orlovača Cave, Pale, Republika Srpska / BiH
Orlovaca Cave, Pale, Republika Srpska
Pećina Orlovača je jedina turistička pećina Republike Srpske. Nalazi se u mjestu Sumbulovac, udaljena od magistralnog puta Sarajevo-Sokolac 900 metara. Pećina je odavno poznata u biospeleološkoj literaturi. Viktor Afelbek, kustos Entomološkog odjeljenja Zemaljskog muzeja u Sarajevu, još je početkom dvadesetog vijeka u uskom kanalu (“Ulaz prvih istraživača”) pronašao pećinskog insekta kojeg je determinisao poznati koleopterolog Edmund Rajter 1913. godine i dao mu naziv Orlovacensis, po lokaciji na kojoj je pronađen. Podzemni kanali pećine, kakvu sada poznajemo, otkriveni su 1975. godine. Na poziv Save Minića (po kome je pećina jedno vrijeme i nosila ime), speleolozi SD “Zelena brda” iz Trebinja i smučarsko-planinarskog društva “Jahorina”, Miroslav i Božidar Kurtović, Momčilo Piljević i Muhamed Hadžiabdić, propuzali su kroz 206 metara dugačak, uzak kanal koji se sada naziva “Ulaz prvih istraživača”, i ušli u, do tada, nepoznate dijelove pećine. Narednih godina istraženo je oko 2.500 metara podzemnih kanala.
Pećina Orlovača je svojim kanalima…

The Battles in Me #2
Strahlefarbe Rot
Leuchtend rote Rhododendronblüten – als Zeichnung welken sie nie.
Die Strahlefarbe Rot ist immer ein Highlight. Sie ist warm, sie ist aktiv, sie ist voller Kraft und stets ein Blickfang. Der Vorteil dieses leuchtenden Eyecatchers ist der Umstand, dass sie auf keinen Fall übersehen wird.
Sei es eine flammende Pfingstrosenblüte, eine edel changierende Murano-Vase, ein hinreißendes Kleid, das keinen Kerzenschein mehr braucht, ein schwedisches Sommerhäuschen im Garten oder ein paar pralle Kirschen auf weißem Teller.
