Political art with the predicate particularly valuable: The Hungarian Ambassador to Austria intervenes against the “racist, anti-Hungarian” exhibition opening in Linz. The Salzburg Hungarian Cub, closely allied with the Hungarian Jobbik, provides the necessary e-mail terror against the organizers. The artist Marika Schmiedt shows, among other things, parallels between the national socialist and present-day hatred towards Roma – among other places, also in Hungary, along with a sharp criticism of Fidesz and Jobbik. The ambassador tried to undermine the Roma artist and activist in his in semi-official communication,  accusing Schmiedt of “hostility against Roma,” because her work thematizes the word “Gypsy Cutlet,” and insinuating that, after all, the “socialists” must be behind this….

UnderwaterTimes.com | Study: Longline Fishery In Costa Rica Kills Thousands Of Sea Turtles And Sharks

The researchers argue that time and area closures for the fisheries are essential to protect these animals as well as to maintain the health of the commercial fishery.

The research was conducted by a team from Drexel University, the Costa Rican non-profit conservation organization Pretoma and a U.S. non-profit working in Costa Rica, The Leatherback Trust.

The researchers used data from scientific observers on longline fishing boats who recorded every fish and other animal caught by the fishermen from 1999 to 2010 and the locations of the captures and fishing efforts. Those data provided the basis for a mathematical analysis of the fishery resulting in maps of geographic locations and estimates of the total number of captures of sea turtles in the entire fishery.

Nick Clegg: Lib Dems agree unemployed should work for benefits | Politics | theguardian.com

How high do you want me to jump, David? Being a lapdog so you can get table scraps can be pretty demeaning at times.

Nick Clegg has revealed the Liberal Democrats support George’s Osborne’s plans to make the long-term unemployed work for their dole and said he is prepared to look at withdrawing benefits from under-25s if they refuse an opportunity to take a job or training.

Settlers destroy 50 olive trees south of Hebron | Maan News Agency

If a group of Palestinians killed 50 sheep or goats, or destroyed 50 tractors belonging to settlers – what do you think would happen? Remind anyone of how indigenous people were/are treated in US, Australia, Canada, Peru, Chile, Mexico…?

If the US had lost the War of 1812 or WWII, this could have been our future. Why do we do so little to end this un-democratic and inhumane behavior?

A group of Israeli settlers destroyed over 50 olive trees in the south Hebron hills on Thursday, locals said.

Palestinian farmer Jaber Ali Shatat told Ma’an that settlers from Susiya raided agricultural land next to the illegal settlement and damaged 50 trees.

College graduate volunteers at Our House hit by shutdown | thv11.com

The looming federal government shutdown threatens Our House’s eleven AmeriCorps VISTA members, who have committed a year of their lives to serving the homeless while living below the poverty line themselves.

These national service members who have come from across the country to help Our House, will not receive their meager living stipend if the federal government shuts down. These VISTAs (Volunteers In Service To America) depend on a federal stipend, which amounts to less than $5 an hour, as their only source of income during their year of full time service. As a VISTA member, they are not allowed to work or have any earned income outside of their VISTA living allowance.

Government shutdown hurts local volunteers – KATV – Breaking News, Weather and Razorback Sports

Ashley Moses drove from Georgia in August for the position. She says, “I just wanted a job where I felt I was making an impact in the community and it is personally fulfilling for me. It’s a great way to give back to my country.”

But the government shutdown now impacts her daily life. “I have my rent bills, utilities, gas and student loan payments. It’s a lot on my plate and to me it is worth it to serve but it’s hard if you don’t know you are going to get paid.”

“This jeopardizes not just their livelihood, but all of Our Houses operations.” Georgia Mjartan adds. Georgia is the Executive Director of Our House. She says AmeriCorps VISTA members coordinate the 77,000 meals a year, volunteer services, children’s programs and the adult education center. “They are making a sacrifice to do national service and the national government is not there to help them in their time of need.”
