DON'T BE A PANICAN!

( Have Some Faith & Give It Some Time )

====Bullhorn Barry📢 (Opinion / News)

We just came off the heels of America almost being utterly destroyed. Economically and otherwise. Had Kamala won, she would've quickly put the final nails in the coffin of our Republic. Freedom & Prosperity would've become a thing of the distant past and we may NEVER have gotten it back! Thankfully, God has a different plan for America. Why be a Panican when it's only been 2.5 months since Trump took office? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

My thoughts on religion, conv. w/ friend

Yes sir, starting going to church. Because I understand the importance of religion for society. So I want to make sure Christianity is the religion people go to by participating.
People are going to create a religion anyways and if a religion doesn’t exist they’ll back something else. Since religion doesn’t play a major role in society today, the cult of politics has become a major player instead. (1/2)

Polygyny is supported as a permissible choice in the Bible

1 Any commands that forbid a man from marrying more than one woman are extremely narrow situations that do not apply to all men

2 Any commands that allow a unmarried man to marry a unmarried woman also allow a already married man to marry a unmarried woman

If the Pastor says the Bible forbids polygyny for all men in new testament times then the Pastor is a sold out feminist or very unfamiliar with the Bible & or logic

Just thought abut actual and very much so real Racism in contrast to the version given by those self entitled masters of Our language.

So I was told that Racism is only in regards of Whites against none whites. Followed by very emotion based pseudoscience explanations about how only white people can be racists.

Naturally this is retarded for anyone who is not a brainwashed retard.

But this got me wondering. Who do U think it is that defined racism as always whites being the racists and such?

  • Probably the coin-clippers (23%, 3 votes)
  • Might be related to the Khazar's (15%, 2 votes)
  • Definitely our greatest allies (38%, 5 votes)

Devil May Kuklinski 🏴‍☠️☑️

We're experiencing the real racism since we're going through a genocide and have been reduced to a pitiful spineless people 😏 the spineless cuckoldery of our majority has made it exceedingly dangerous for the rest of us and why we're in a genocide to begin with. What really sucks is you can't exactly shame them out of it either because they've already been shamed into oblivion for being White. I think you gotta beat it out of them. Nah, that probably wouldn't work either because they would continue turning the other cheek and praying about it. Basically it's a severe selection event that's just gonna have to run it's course until the few Whites left are the ones truly who aren't to be fucked with, and get to carry their genetics into the future. We went through a plague caused by jew well poisoning that took out 80% of us until we figured it out and had ourselves a pogrom and bounced back. It just sucks being in this part of it in this part of history. It's painful to watch and be part of, especially pertaining to the state of our women

@georgia this sounds totally weird and makes no sense. where does the blood go if you put a bunch of salt on it? right into the pan. it doesn't make the blood disappear. unless you're covering the meat in salt then throwing away the salt. this would make a steak really dry and tough.

also i doubt the size of salt grains makes much difference regarding how much moisture it draws out of the meat. if anything it would draw out less moisture

C. #Johnstone

Nobody say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine.” Saying “Fuck #Israel, Free #Palestine” is very offensive to people who think #genocide is good.

When you say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine,” you are hurting the feelings of the people who believe it’s fine to bomb every hospital in Gaza. So you must never, ever say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine.”
Who do you think you are, saying “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine”? Don’t you know that by saying “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine” you are causing the people who applaud the deliberate starvation of an entire civilian population to become emotionally upset?

Instead of saying “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine,” you should try putting yourself in the shoes of the tender-hearted individuals who support the complete ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. They’re just minding their own business, merrily celebrating the carpet bombing of a giant concentration camp full of children, and then you come along and ruin their day by saying “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine”? What a cruel and hateful thing that would be.

I mean, all they are doing is cheerleading the mutilation, evisceration and incineration of children, and the assassination of journalists and medical workers, and the systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure, and the complete flattening of an entire region whose population they are methodically exterminating via bullets, bombs, starvation and disease. It’s not like they’re doing anything nasty or disgusting like saying offensive words. Offensive words like “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine.”

So don’t say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine.” Under no circumstances should anyone ever say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine.” And they must certainly never say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine” as many times as they possibly can, every single day until Palestine is free, and get everyone else to say it constantly as well.
Again, the phrase you must avoid saying at all cost is Fuck Israel, Free Palestine.
Fuck Israel, Free Palestine.


Fuck Israel, Free Palestine.

All The Worst Evils Are Happening Right Out In The Open
C. #Johnstone

Trump is committing #genocide for #Israel after publicly admitting to being bought and owned by the #Adelsons.

All the worst shit happens right out in the open. You don’t need to come up with any elaborate conspiracy theories to see it. It’s right there, completely unhidden.

It’s not hidden, it’s just spun. Disguised by the propaganda of the mass media who frame this holocaust as a war of defense in response to a terrorist attack while constantly diverting our attention to other far less significant issues.

It says so much about the power of the imperial propaganda machine that #Trump could openly admit to having been fully controlled by #Adelson cash on the campaign trail, get elected, and then facilitate a blatant extermination campaign in #Gaza while aggressively stomping out free speech that is critical of Israel throughout the United States — and somehow not have this be the main thing that everyone talks about all the time. It is only because our minds are being forcefully manipulated by the powerful at mass scale that this has been the case.

The narrative spin is greatly aided by the fact that Trump isn’t doing much different from the previous president here. A public which has been indoctrinated from childhood into seeing everything in Democrat-vs-Republican binaries is conditioned to focus far more on the differences between the two parties than the similarities. But you can learn a whole lot more about real power and what’s actually going on in the world by paying less attention to how US presidents differ from each other, and more attention to the ways in which they are the same.

The mass-scale psychological manipulation is so pervasive and ubiquitous that only a small minority are reacting to history’s first live-streamed genocide with an appropriate level of horror. If Americans could see what their government is doing in their name with fresh eyes and uncallused hearts, the nation’s capitol would be burnt to the ground within days. But because their vision is clouded by propaganda indoctrination they can’t see it, so they overlook what’s right in front of them while awaiting a gigantic Epstein bombshell or UFO disclosure or some other Big Reveal that never comes.

Consider the possibility that the Big Reveal has already happened. That it’s been right here staring you in the face this entire time, but you haven’t noticed its significance because it has been constantly normalized for you throughout your life since you were small. That the truth behind all your most sparkly conspiracy theories could be published online tomorrow, and it still wouldn’t tell you as much about what your rulers are doing and how evil they are as what’s already happening in plain sight.

This is the dystopia we were warned about. It’s not some ominous threat looming on the horizon. It’s here. We are being psychologically manipulated at mass scale into consenting to the most nightmarish atrocities imaginable. Children’s bodies are being shredded to bits right in front of us. And when you turn on the TV you see famous people laughing and making jokes with fake plastic grins, babbling about vapid nonsense. This is the dystopia. It isn’t on its way. It’s here.

We don’t need a Big Reveal. If the Big Reveal happened next week, the public would be indoctrinated into overlooking and dismissing it by the imperial spin machine by the weekend. We don’t need new information, we need people to truly see the information that’s already here. To see it with eyes that are free from the cataracts of propaganda conditioning, with hearts that are free from the calluses of desensitization. Waking the public up is less about whistleblowers, FOIA requests and investigative journalism at this point than it is about finding creative and artistic ways to get people noticing the information that’s already public.

And the good news is that we can all help do this. We can all help our fellow members of the public to see what’s really happening with fresh eyes. Using our creativity, our humor, our insight and our compassion, we can find new ways every day to open a new pair of eyelids to the truth of our present circumstances.

Our rulers do not have creativity. They do not have humor, insight or compassion. These are not tools that they have in their toolbox, and they have no weapons to counter them. All they have is manipulation, and manipulation only works if you don’t know it’s happening to you. Our task is to keep finding new and creative ways to help more people see and understand the ways in which they have been manipulated.

1915 Ermeni soykırımında kötüler ve iyiler

İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti, tehcir ve imhayı gerçekleştirirken, Kürt, Türk, Çerkes, Gürcü, Ermeni, Alevi, Sünni, Hıristiyan, Ezidi toplumları arasındaki gerilimleri ustaca kullandı.

24 Nisan 1915’te bir grup Ermeni entelektüelinin Çankırı ve Ayaş’a sürgünü ile sembolik olarak, 27 Mayıs 1915 tarihli ‘Savaş Zamanında Hükümet Uygulamalarına Karşı Gelenler İçin Asker Tarafından Uygulanacak Önlemler Hakkında Geçici Kanun’la resmen başlayan 1915 Ermeni soykırımı (niye böyle adlandırdığımı bir başka yazıda anlatacağım), esas olarak İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti’nde (İTC) örgütlenmiş olan Türk milliyetçiliğinin, dağılmakta olan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun yerine Türk ulus devletini kurmanın ilk adımı olarak ülkeyi gayrimüslim unsurlardan temizleme ve sermayenin Müslümanlaştırılması/Türkleştirilmesi harekâtıydı.

Nitelikli suç ortaklığı

Böylesi büyük bir suçun işlenmesi elbette imparatorluk tebaasının önemli bir kesiminin işbirliği ile mümkün oldu. İTC, tehcir ve imhayı gerçekleştirirken, gerek Kürt, Türk, Çerkes, Gürcü, Ermeni toplumları arasındaki, gerek Alevi, Sünni, Hıristiyan, Ezidi toplumları arasındaki gerekse bölgeler, şehirler, köyler, aşiretler ve hatta kişiler arasındaki gerilimleri ustaca kullandı.

Böylece Ermenilere (ve elbette Rumlara, Süryanilere) yönelik kaçırtma ve imha hareketlerinde İTC’nin yeraltı örgütü Teşkilat-ı Mahsusa’ya ve ordu birliklerine destek veren, birçok yerde bu işleri bizzat örgütleyen ve yürüten Türk, Kürt, Çerkes, Çeçen, Gürcü gibi değişik etnisitelerden Müslüman gruplar arasında ‘nitelikli’ suç ortaklığı oluşturuldu. Geride kalan Ermeni mallarını talan eden, Ermenilerin çocuklarını besleme veya evlatlık alan, kızlarını haremlerine katan yerel eşraf ya da halk kesimleri, Ermenilerin el konulan zenginliklerini kendine sermaye yapan ticaret burjuvazisi, Ermenilerin boşalttığı alanlarda kendine iş alanı yaratan zanaatkârlar da bu büyük suçun açık ya da zımni ortakları oldular.

Kötüler

Tehcirin eylemci ekibinde, 3. Ordu Komutanı General Mahmud Kâmil Paşa, Genelkurmay İstihbarat Dairesi’nden Albay Seyfi, Harbiye Nazırı Enver Paşa’nın amcası Halil Paşa ve üvey kardeşi Nuri (Kıllıgil) Paşa, Musul’daki 6. Ordu Komutanı Ali İhsan Sabis Paşa, teşkilatın tetikçisi Yakup Cemil ve ‘Deli’ Halit (Karsıalan) gibi Harbiye mezunları, İTC Merkez Komitesi üyeleri Bahaeddin Şakir, Nazım ya da Diyarbakır Valisi Mehmet Reşit gibi doktorlar, ‘Sopalı Mutasarrıf‘ lakaplı Trabzon Valisi Cemal Azmi, önce Erzincan Bölge Valisi, daha sonra Bitlis, Bağdat ve Musul vilayetlerinin genel valisi olan Mehmet Memduh, Maarif Nazırı Ahmet Şükrü, Emniyet Müdürü İsmail Canbolat gibi yüksek bürokratlar, Giresunlu Topal Osman Ağa ve Trabzonlu Yahya Kahya gibi eşraftan olanlar, Malatya Müftüsü Sagirzade gibi din adamları vardı.

Elbette, en korkunç suçları işleyenler tehcir konvoylarına, Osmanlı tarihinde o güne dek eşine rastlanmadık bir barbarlık içinde saldıran, konvoyları yağmalayan değişik toplumlardan gelen çete reisleri ve çete üyeleriydi. Bu barbarlığın temel nedeni, bu çeteleri oluşturan kadroların büyük bir bölümünün İTC Merkez Komitesi üyeleri Dr. Bahaeddin Şakir ve Dr. Nazım tarafından kana susamış caniler arasından özenle seçilmiş olmalarıydı. Bunlar, sözü edilen korkunç görevleri yerine getirmeleri kaydıyla, özel emirlerle hapishanelerden salıverilmişlerdi.

İyiler

Buna karşılık Ermenilerin öldürülmesine karşı çıktığı için öldürülen, Ermenileri evlerinde saklayan, Ermenileri korumak için hayatını tehlikeye atan yöneticiler ve halk kesimleri de vardı. Örneğin 1914’ten itibaren sırasıyla Halep ve Konya Valiliğinde bulunan Celal Bey, vilayetindeki Ermenilerin tehcirine izin vermemişti. Kendisine bu kanlı yolculuğun ‘milli mefkûre’ olduğunu söyleyen İTC Merkez Komitesi’nin adamına “Hangi milli mefkûre? Türkler ve Müslümanlar, bu cinayetlerden dolayı kan ağlıyor, fakat engellemek için çare bulamıyorlardı. Böyle zulümlere milli mefkûre demek, millet için en büyük iftira ve hakarettir” diye cevap vermişti ve 1915 Ekiminde görevden alınıncaya kadar çevre illerden de pek çok kişinin de Der Zor’a gönderilmesini engellemişti. Ankara Valisi Mazhar Bey, vilayetindeki Ermenilerin gönderilmesine karşı çıktığı için 1915 Ağustosunda görevinden alınmıştı. Mazhar Bey tehcire neden karşı çıktığını şöyle açıklamıştı: “Ben valiyim, eşkıya değilim.”

Kütahya Mutasarrıfı Faik Ali (Ozansoy), sadece kendi bölgesindeki Ermenileri sürgüne göndermeyi reddetmekle kalmadı, Balıkesir, Afyon, İzmit ve Adapazarı gibi çevre şehirlerden Kütahya'ya gelen Ermenilere de her türlü yardımı yaptı. Kütahya'ya yığılmayı önlemek için, gelenleri meslek ve sanatlarına göre çevre ilçelere ve köylere gönderdi. Himaye ettiği Ermenilerin Türk Kızılay'ına verilmek üzere aralarında topladığı 500 altını da diğer illerden Kütahya'ya sığınan Ermeni yoksullara dağıttı ve göçmenler için aşevi kurdu. Ermeni çocuklarının eğitimden yoksun kalmaması için bir okul açtırdı ve başına bir Ermeni'yi müdür olarak atadı.

Kastamonu Valisi Reşat Bey, Yozgat Mutasarrıfı Cemal Bey ve Erzurum Valisi Tahsin Bey de imha emirlerini uygulamadılar. Malatya Belediye Başkanı Azizoğlu Mustafa Ağa tehciri engelleyecek yetkiye sahip değildi ama bir çok kişiyi evinde sakladı. Bir İTC üyesinin oğlu tarafından “gavurları koruduğu” için öldürüldü.

Tehcir emirlerini uygulamayı reddeden Lice Kaymakamı Hüseyin Nesimi Bey, Beşiri Kaymakam Muavini Sabit Bey, Basra Valisi Ferit Bey, Müntefek Mutasarrıfı Bedii Nuri Bey ve gazeteci İsmail Mestan, İTC’nin ileri gelenlerinden Diyarbakır Valisi Dr. Reşit Bey’in emirleriyle öldürüldüler. Mardin Mutasarrıfı Hilmi Bey ise, son anda ölümden kurtuldu.

Eski Diyarbakır ve Dersaadet Posta ve Telgraf Müdürü Vehbi Efendi Dominiken misyonerlerinden 200 kadar kişiyi evinde sakladı. Midyat Kaymakamı Nuri Bey, Çermikli Muhammed Hamdi Bey, Savurlu Mehmed Ali Bey, Silvanlı İbrahim Hakkı Bey Ermeni ve Süryanilere iyilikleri olan kişilerdi. Urfa’da Binbaşı Sıtkı Bey Süryani cemaatinin ve Ermeni Katoliklerinin liderlerini ölümden kurtarmıştı. Urfalı Hacı Halil, aynı aileden yedi kişiyi katliamdan kurtarmak için evinin tavan arasında saklamıştı.

Ayrıca Trabzon bölgesinin ve Kastamonu’nun bir kısım Sünni Türk halkı, Konyalı Mevleviler, Mardinli Süryaniler, Sincarlı Yezidiler ve Dersimli Kızılbaş aşiretlerinin büyük çoğunluğu Ermenileri korumuştu. Dersim’in dış çeperlerini oluşturan Arapkir, Eğin, Gürün, Kemah, Erzincan, Tercan, Kiğı ve Palu’da ise Ermenilere yönelik talan saldırıları yanında ciddi katliamlar olmuştu. Aynı şekilde Suriye’deki Zor’da pek çok Arap aşireti sürgünlere yemek ve barınak sağlarken, bazı Bedevi aşiretleri yağma ve katliamlara katılmışlardı. Res’ul-Ayn’da bazı Çeçenler Ermenilere saldırırken bazı Çeçenler de Ermenileri korumuştu.

Konya Valisi Celal Bey’in anıları

Yazımızı ‘iyi Türkler’den Konya Valisi Celal Bey’in 1919’da Vakit gazetesinde yayımlanan “Ermeni Vakayi’i, Esbâb ve Tesiratı” (Ermeni Olayı, Sebepleri ve Etkileri) başlıklı anılarından bir bölüm ile bitirelim:

“Evet, birtakım Ermeniler düşmana yardım ettiler. Ve bazı Ermeni mebusları da çeteciliği mebusluğa tercih ederek birçok cinayetlerde bulundular. Hükümetin vazifesi, failleri yakalamak ve sadece onları cezalandırmak ve eğer bu mümkün değilse, o yöredeki Ermenileri, düşmanca değil, dostça ve geçici olarak başka yerlerde iskân etmek idi. Bir çeteci her şeyi yapabilir. Çünkü çetecidir. Hükümet ise sadece kabahat sahibi olanları takip eder. Fakat teessüf olunur ki, o zamanın hükümet büyükleri komitacılık ruhunu asla kaybetmemiş olduklarından, bu tehciri en cüretkâr ve hunhar çetecilerin de yapamayacağı bir tarzda tatbik ettiler. O zamanki hükümet, Rusların Sakarya vadisine saldıracaklarını ve Ermenilerin kendilerine yardım edeceklerini düşündüklerinden, tedbir olarak, tehciri Ankara, Konya ve Eskişehir’e kadar yaydıklarını söylüyorlardı. O zamanlarda Rusların yeni dretnotları henüz ikmal edilmiş olduğundan, Yavuz ve Midilli ile Karadeniz’e hâkimdik ve Rusların Sakarya havzasına asker çıkarmaları mümkün değildi. Haydi, bu ihtimali de kabul edelim... Acaba Bursa ve Edirne’de ve Tekfurdağı’ndaki (Tekirdağ) Ermeniler niçin çıkarıldı? Buralar da Sakarya havzasına mı dahildi? Halep’te vilayetin genel nüfusunun yirmide biri derecesinde bile olmayan Ermenilerden ne istendi? Doğru yanlış, vatanın selameti için Ermenilerin bulundukları yerlerden çıkarılmaları lazım addedilmişse, işbu tarzda mı tatbik edilir? Ermenileri Zor’a sevk edin diye emir veren hükümet, bu bîçarelerin oralarda Arap göçebe kabileleri arasında meskensiz, gıdasız nasıl barınabileceklerini düşündü mü? Düşündü ise soruyorum: Oralara ne kadar gıda maddesi gönderdi ve göçmenlerin iskânı için kaç hane yaptırdı? Ve Ermeniler gibi asırlardan beri yerleşmiş bir hayat süren bir kavmi, ağaçtan, sudan ve her türlü inşaat malzemesinden mahrum olan Zor çöllerine sevk etmekte maksat neydi? Maalesef, meseleyi inkâr ve çarpıtmaya imkân yok. Maksat imhaydı ve imha edildiler. Yine gizleme ve saklaması mümkün değildir ki, bu kararı İttihat ve Terakki umumi merkezinin bazı önde gelen mensupları aldı ve o umumi merkezin tabii azası olan hükümet tatbik etti.

İTC Merkez-i Umumisi, Balkan Harbi’nden evvel Makedonya meselesinin de kolayca halline girişti. Azalarından birinin fikrince, Makedonya meselesi bir nüfus meselesi imiş. Eğer İslam nüfus çoğalırsa mesele kendiliğinden halledilirmiş. (…) İki rakam arasındaki nispeti tayin için ya rakamlardan birini büyütmek veya diğerini küçültmek lazım gelir!.. Rumeli’deki nüfus arasındaki farkı değiştirmek için Bulgarları, Rumları, Sırpları mahva imkân yoktu. Onun için Basra’dan İslam muhacirleri getirmeye teşebbüs ettiler.

Anadolu’da ise bu külfete olsun lüzum görmediler. Ermenilerin mahvını tanzim ettiler. Bunu sırf Merkez-i Umumi değil, o zamanki hükümet de tatbik etti. Böyle olmasaydı, katliama iştirak etmeyen kaymakamlar öldürüldüğü, mutasarrıflar ve valiler azledildiği halde, iştirak edenler terfi etmezdi. Ve tehcir işleri, İttihat ve Terakki mensuplarının denetimi altında cereyan etmezdi.

İmdi, bence meselenin en mühim noktasına geliyorum. Bu hercümercden, şu katliamlar ve cinayetlerden, Müslümanlar ve bilhassa Türkler de mesul müdürler, yoksa bundan âri midirler?

(...)

Tahminime göre, en aşağı üç-dört yüz bin Ermeni öldü. Bu kadar kan akıtan bir milletin feryad ve şikâyete hakkı vardır. Bu hakka kimse itiraz edemez. Fakat yalnız Ermeni ölmedi. İki milyondan ziyade Türk ve Arap da telef oldu. Türkler ve Araplar da Ermeniler kadar mağdur ve bîçaredirler. Onların da şikâyet ve feryada hakları vardır. Ben Osmanlı memleketinin bugünkü halini Erzurum vilayetinin yukarıda tasvir ettiğim haline benzetiyorum. Yani bütün memlekette iki sınıf halk var. Biri hukuka tecavüzle menfaat elde eden zorbalar, diğeri, bu zorbaların tecavüzüyle ezilmiş olan Türkler, Araplar, Ermeniler...

Hepimiz için felaketin doğuş sebepleri bir!.. Vatanından ayrılarak yollarda ölen veya öldürülen Ermenilerle, Cezire ve Suriye çöllerinde, Erzurum dağlarında açlıktan, hastalıktan, sıcaktan telef olan veya telef edilen Türkler ve Suriye’de açlıktan sokaklarda inleye inleye ölen Arapların ve Cemal Paşa’nın kanunuyla ipe çekilen ve sürgün yerlerinde sefalet içinde kalan uğursuz kuvvet aynı kuvvettir. Binaenaleyh, Türkler de, Araplar da, Ermeniler gibi davacıyız. Biz de adalet istiyoruz! Birbirimizi suçlamaktansa, el ele verip medeni dünyadan adalet dilemek ve asırlardan beri kardeşçe yaşamış olan Arapları, Türkleri ve Ermenileri bu hale getirenlerin cezasını istemek ve henüz vakit geçmemiş ise, bundan böyle yine kardeşçe yaşamaya çalışmak pek uygun olur.”

Went to coffee shop this morning.

Overheard cashier (owner?) talking to other customer about how the constitution should be a living document.

Customer thought that because the founding fathers didn't know about dinosaurs, they couldn't predict what constitution would be needed 250 years later.

Good we have a president that likes America for 2026, for the 250 year anniversary!

My wife and I run OpenBenches - a crowd-sourced database of nearly 40,000 memorial benches. Every bench is geo-tagged with a latitude and longitude. But how do you go from a string of digits to something human readable?

How do I turn -33.755780,150.603769 into "42 Wallaby Way, Sydney, Australia"?

Luckily, that's a (somewhat) solved problem. Services like OpenCage, StadiaMaps, OpenStreetMap, and Geocode.Earth all provide APIs which transform co-ordinates into addresses. Done! Let's go home.

Except… Not everywhere has an address. Some benches are in parks. They typically don't have a street number, but might have an interesting feature nearby to help with location. For example a statue or prominent landmark.

And… Not every address is relevant. Some benches are on streets. But we probably don't want to imply that the bench is inside or belongs to a specific nearby house.

Let's step back a bit. Why do we want to display a human-readable address?

We have two use-cases.

"As a visitor to the site, I want to:"

  1. Read a (rough) textual representation of where the bench is.
  2. Click on a component of the address to see all benches within that area.

The first is easy to explain:

Map. Under it is an address of "Middlewich, Cheshire East, England, United Kingdom".

The second is harder. Suppose a bench is in Wellington, New Zealand. We want to create a URl like openbenches.org/location/New Zealand/Wellington/. That way, users can click on the word "Wellington" and find all the benches nearby. A user can also manually edit that URl to increase or decrease precision.

Both of these are problems of precision.

Let's take a look at how one of the reverse geocoding services deals with transforming 51.476845,-0.295296 into an address:

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Sandycombe Road, Kew, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, London, Greater London, England, TW9 2EN, United Kingdom


That is too much address!

Yes, it is technically accurate. But it contains far too much detail for humans, the postcode is irrelevant, and the weird-subdivisions are nothing that a local person would use.

Looking at the full API response, we can see:
JSON{ "place_id": 258770727, "licence": "Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. osm.org/copyright "name": "Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew", "display_name": "Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Elizabeth Cottages, Kew, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, London, Greater London, England, TW9 3NJ, United Kingdom", "address": { "leisure": "Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew", "road": "Elizabeth Cottages", "suburb": "Kew", "city_district": "London Borough of Richmond upon Thames", "ISO3166-2-lvl8": "GB-RIC", "city": "London", "state_district": "Greater London", "state": "England", "ISO3166-2-lvl4": "GB-ENG", "postcode": "TW9 3NJ", "country": "United Kingdom", "country_code": "gb" }}
Aha! Perhaps I can build a better address using just those components!

Except… Not every country has states. And not all states are used when giving addresses. Not every location is in a city. Some places have villages, prefectures, municipalities, and hamlets.

New York, New York is a valid address, but Berlin, Berlin is not!

There's an address formatter by OpenCage which is pretty sensible about stripping off irrelevant details. But, to go back to my first point, not every map location on OpenBenches is a street address and - even if it is on a street - it probably shouldn't have a house number.

Well, there's kind of a solution to that! Most mapping provider have a POI function - we can find nearby things of interest and use them as a location.

Here's a bench in Cook County, Illinois, USA. The POI address is:
JSON{… "name": "Central Park", "coarse_location": "Des Plaines, IL, USA",…}
I assume there's only one Central Park in Des Plaines. Do people know that "Il" is Illinois? Would "Cook County" be useful?

On the subject of localisation, not everywhere speaks English. Do I want to display addresses like "原爆の子の像, 広島, 日本"? How about "原爆の子の像, Hiroshima, Japan"?

We're an international site, but most benches are in Anglophone countries.

Of course, just because something is physically near a POI, that doesn't mean it is logically close to it.

Consider a bench situated at the edge of this parkA map, with a marker situated just across a river.

The nearest POI is "Gay's Creamery" - across the river. Is that what you'd expect? Is there any way to easily say "if a point is inside an amenity* then use that as the address?

I don't want the users of our site to have to select from a list of POIs or addresses, this should be as automated as possible.

The Plan


For each bench:

  1. Use StadiaMaps to get the nearest POI.
  2. Get the data in English.
  3. Concatenate the name and coarse location.
  4. Save the "address".
  5. Wait for complaints?

Thoughts?

I don't entirely understand what alternative is to be used instead of carbon/coal, but I know that wind turbine energy is killing a lot of birds that crash with the turbine wings and II have also read that solar panels are also killing birds and other animals too. Apparently there are other energy systems that are much better for the environment, but they are not being made public at the moment, so I can't share the information. One is related to splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen and both sea water and other sources of water could be used. There are other methods that were mentioned by Nikola Tesla but have been censored for a very long time, because they don't cost any money and that is the only thing that is of interest to most people!!

HPG: One Soldier Killed, Two Others Injured as Turkish Attacks Against Guerrilla Areas Continue


The Press Office of the People’s Defense Forces (HPG) reported that the Turkish army carried out 691 attacks on the guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) between April 21 and 23. Legitimate self-defense by the guerrillas left one soldier dead and two others injured.

According to the HPG statement on Thursday, details of the latest attacks by the Turkish army and interventions by the guerrillas are as follows:

Attacks by warplanes

On April 22, Turkish warplanes bombed the Girgaşê and Girê Kun areas in Garê region three times, the Girê Bahar Resistance Area in Şehîd Delîl Western Zap region once and the Sipîndarê area in Garê region twice.

On April 23, warplanes bombed the Sipîndarê and Girgaşê areas in Garê region four times, and the Girê Bahar Resistance Area in Şehîd Delîl Western Zap region once.

Attacks with heavy weapons, artillery and howitzers

On April 21, 22, 23 and 24, the Turkish army carried out 680 attacks with heavy weapons, artillery and howitzers, targeting the areas of Şehîd Kawa and Berê Zînê in Xakurkê region three times; the areas of Mijê, Dêreşê, Sipîndarê, Girgaşê and Girê Kun in Garê region 102 times; the areas of Şêlazê and Bêşîlî in Metîna region 160 times; the areas of Girê Amediyê and Girê Bahar in Şehîd Delîl Western Zap region 415 times.

Interventions by our forces

On April 19, guerrillas struck a container belonging to the invaders who were in an attack position in Girê Bahar Resistance Area in Şehîd Delîl Batı Zap region.

On April 22, a surveillance camera system used by the invading Turkish army to spy on our war tunnels in Girê Amediyê Resistance Area in Şehîd Delîl Western Zap region was hit and destroyed by our YJA Star (Free Women’s Troops) forces.

On April 22, the positions of the invaders who were in an attack position in the Girê Çarçel area in Metîna region were struck by our Şehîd Axîn Mûş Unit with a kamikaze drone. One soldier was confirmed killed and two others injured.

On April 22, a position of the invaders in the Girê Bahar Resistance Area in Şehîd Delîl Western Zap region was hit and damaged by our forces.

Warning to the people

HPG said they received information that money was being demanded in the name of their organization in the regions of Botan, Batman, and Çiyayêmazî and Derik in Mardin, particularly from businesspeople and some community circles. HPG made it clear that none of their units was tasked with such a mission, saying: “Collecting money from the people in this way is prohibited by our movement. Those who demand money in these places are likely to be rent-seeking gangs or agents organized by the enemy. Our people and patriotic-democratic organizations should pay attention to this matter and be sensitive to such agents-gangs and should not give money under the name of aid.”

Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was a few meters from the finish line, but got confused by the signals and stopped, thinking he had finished the race.

The Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening in front of him, began shouting for the Kenyan to keep running.

Motai did not know Spanish and did not understand.

Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.
One reporter asked Evan, "Why did you do this?" Evan replied, "My dream is that one day we can have the kind of community life that pushes ourselves and others to win as well."
"But why did you let the Kenyan win?" the reporter insisted. Evan replied, "I didn't let him win, he would win. It was his race."

The reporter insisted and asked again: "But you could have won!"

Evan looked at him and replied, "But what is the merit of my victory? What is the honor of this medal? What will my mother think?"

Values ​​are passed on from generation to generation.

What values ​​do we teach our children and to what extent do they inspire others to earn them?

Most of us take advantage of people's weaknesses rather than helping to strengthen them.

Influence of Wood Moisture on Charcoal Production

The process of transforming wood into charcoal is a highly complex thermochemical procedure known as pyrolysis. One of the most critical factors influencing the efficiency and quality of this process is the moisture content of the wood being used. Wood moisture not only affects the energy consumption of the pyrolysis reaction but also has a direct impact on the properties of the resulting charcoal. Understanding how varying moisture levels influence the conversion process can help optimize the production of high-quality charcoal while minimizing energy waste.

Role of Moisture in the Pyrolysis Process


Wood naturally contains moisture, which varies depending on the type of wood, its age, and environmental factors. This moisture must be evaporated before the actual pyrolysis can begin. In the pyrolysis process, as heat is applied to the wood, the moisture inside the wood needs to be expelled as water vapor. This phase consumes significant energy, which delays the onset of pyrolysis.

The presence of moisture essentially reduces the available heat for the wood charcoal machine, as a considerable portion of the energy goes into evaporating the water. As a result, the temperature inside the reactor may take longer to reach the required levels for effective carbonization. This can lead to extended processing times and lower yields of charcoal.

Impact on Energy Efficiency


The moisture content of wood has a direct bearing on the energy efficiency of the pyrolysis process. Higher moisture content means that more energy is spent on evaporating water, which decreases the efficiency of the conversion. For every unit of moisture present, energy that could have been used for pyrolysis is instead consumed in the water vaporization process. This is particularly relevant when using a wood charcoal machine that operates continuously, as the wood feedstock must be adequately dried before entering the reactor to avoid energy inefficiencies.

Low moisture content, on the other hand, improves energy efficiency. When wood with low moisture is used, the heat applied during pyrolysis is directed more effectively toward breaking down the wood’s cellulose and lignin components rather than evaporating water. This results in a quicker onset of pyrolysis and a more efficient conversion of wood into charcoal, reducing the overall energy consumption in the process.

Effect on Charcoal Yield and Quality


The moisture level in wood directly influences both the yield and the quality of the charcoal produced. When wood with a high moisture content is pyrolyzed, the overall charcoal yield is often lower. This is because a significant portion of the wood's mass is lost as water vapor before the process of carbonization can occur. Moreover, the resulting charcoal tends to have lower carbon content and higher ash content due to the incomplete breakdown of the wood structure.

In contrast, wood with lower moisture content undergoes more efficient carbonization. The result is a higher yield of charcoal that has a better structure and composition. Additionally, the charcoal produced from low-moisture wood typically has better combustion properties, such as higher energy density and a slower burn rate. This makes it more suitable for applications like grilling or industrial heating, where high-quality and long-lasting fuel is required.

Wood Moisture and Charcoal Properties


The moisture content not only affects the quantity of the charcoal but also influences its chemical composition. Wood with a high moisture content tends to release more volatile gases during pyrolysis, which can affect the stability and consistency of the final charcoal product. The presence of moisture also leads to an increase in the amount of organic compounds remaining in the charcoal, which can cause it to burn less efficiently. Furthermore, the increased volatility can result in higher emissions during pyrolysis, which may require additional filtration or purification measures.

By ensuring that the wood is sufficiently dried before the pyrolysis process, producers can mitigate these issues and ensure the production of a more stable, efficient fuel. Wood with optimal moisture content results in a well-structured, high-carbon charcoal that is both more effective in its energy release and more durable in use.

Drying Techniques for Optimal Wood Moisture


To achieve the desired moisture content in the feedstock, proper drying techniques are essential. Air drying and kiln drying are common methods used to reduce the moisture content of wood before it is processed in a wood charcoal machine. Air drying is the more natural method, relying on ambient environmental conditions to slowly reduce moisture over time. While this method is cost-effective, it is also time-consuming and subject to weather variability.

Kiln drying, on the other hand, involves controlled heating to accelerate the drying process, making it more efficient but also more energy-intensive. Kiln drying can produce wood with a precise moisture content, ensuring a more consistent pyrolysis process. However, this comes at the cost of additional equipment and energy expenses.

Moisture Content and the Choice of Wood Charcoal Machine


Different wood charcoal machines may be designed with varying capacities and efficiencies, depending on the moisture content of the feedstock. Some machines are equipped with advanced heating systems capable of dealing with higher moisture wood, while others are optimized for low-moisture materials. Therefore, selecting the appropriate machine for the wood type being processed is crucial for ensuring optimal performance.

Machines that are specifically designed to handle higher moisture levels typically feature longer drying phases, which can affect the overall processing time. In contrast, machines optimized for dry wood can achieve faster processing times and higher charcoal yields. Manufacturers of wood charcoal machines often provide specifications on the acceptable moisture range for different types of wood, which should be carefully considered when preparing the feedstock.

L’aide active à mourir : le stade ultime du libéralisme culturel ?


par Nicolas Maxime

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, plusieurs situations, de Chantal Sébire à Charles Biétry, ont bouleversé l’opinion publique. Leurs témoignages poignants ont mis en lumière des situations profondément humaines, marquées par la douleur, la perte d’autonomie, et parfois un sentiment d’abandon. Par-delà l’émotion légitime que suscitent ces récits, il convient de prendre du recul sur les transformations philosophiques et politiques qu’engage le débat sur la fin de vie. “L’aide active à mourir”, souvent présentée comme un progrès, révèle en réalité une mutation profonde de nos sociétés, où le libéralisme culturel achève de dissoudre les repères anthropologiques au profit d’une société du choix absolu, y compris face à la mort.

L’euthanasie et le suicide assisté s’invitent aujourd’hui dans le débat public, en France, sous couvert de compassion et de respect des choix individuels. Pourtant, leur portée déborde largement le cadre médical : c’est toute notre vision de la vie, de la souffrance et de la liberté qui est en jeu, et avec elle, l’idée même de ce qu’une société doit fournir à ses membres en matière de soin, de solidarité et d’accompagnement.

Il s’agit désormais de revendiquer le droit de mourir à sa guise dans les conditions que l’on aura soi-même choisies. Mais derrière cette revendication en apparence progressiste se profile une conception radicalement individualiste de l’existence, où la mort elle-même devient unacte de consommation, un « choix » parmi d’autres dans un marché des possibles, au nom de lasouveraineté absolue de l’individu.

Dany-Robert Dufour a bien montré que le néolibéralisme, loin de produire des individus libres, engendre des egos soumis à un divin marché qui détruit le symbolique, le commun, le sens [1].Le progressisme contemporain, qui prétend libérer l’homme de toutes ses limites, finit par le déshumaniser.

Le “droit à la mort” comme aboutissement d’un individualisme radical

D’après Jean-Marie Brugeron, ancien haut responsable hospitalier et actuel président du Secours catholique de l’Hérault, l’instauration d’un cadre légal pour l’euthanasie ne serait rien d’autre que le prolongement naturel d’un individualisme radical façonné par l’idéologie libérale [2]. Une telle dynamique, selon lui, ne fait qu’achever le démantèlement des liens sociaux en érigeant le “droit à la mort” en nouvelle norme sociale, vidée de toute référence à la solidarité collective.

Raymond Debord analyse l’évolution des revendications contemporaines en matière de droits, en particulier celles qui relèvent d’un individualisme hédoniste et narcissique. En effet, il observe que nombre de droits revendiqués aujourd’hui ne sont plus des droits-créances comme le droit à l’éducation, à la santé, au travail — fondés sur la solidarité et la justice sociale, mais des droits particuliers et subjectifs, centrés sur l’expression de soi, la reconnaissance identitaire ou le désir personnel (ex : euthanasie, PMA, GPA, changement de sexe, etc.). Il parle même d’une inflation de revendications aux droits particuliers.

Concernant l’aide active à mourir, il illustre cela par le ’droit à la mort’ : on demande non seulement la liberté de se suicider, mais aussi l’aide de l’État pour y parvenir (via le personnelmédical, l’hôpital public). Ainsi, l’aide active à mourir, comme d’autres revendications contemporaines, illustre cette dérive où l’on en vient à demander à la société d’organiser la mort comme un service que l’on pourrait commander, mobilisant pour cela les moyens des services publics eux-mêmes.

Comme l’a démontré Jean-Claude Michéa, le libéralisme économique et le libéralisme culturel, loin d’être opposés, sont complémentaires [3]. Lorsque le premier fondel’économie de marché sur la liberté illimitée de produire et de consommer, le second construit la société autour d’un individu souverain, affranchi de toute limite physique, de toute contrainte morale, et détaché de toute tradition et de tout lien social et communautaire. En cela,la légalisation de l’euthanasie et du suicide assisté constitue le stade ultime du libéralisme culturel. Il ne s’agit plus seulement d’accompagner la mort, mais de revendiquer le “droit à la mort comme ultime expression de sa volonté individuelle.

L’aide active à mourir : un choix budgétaire ?

Depuis 2005, la loi Leonetti interdit l’acharnement thérapeutiqueet reconnaît le droit au ’laisser mourir’, en rendant possible une sédation profonde pour les patients en fin de vie, dans le cadre d’une démarche palliative. Cette loi, révisée en 2016, constituait un équilibre subtil entre refus de l’obstination déraisonnable et accompagnement humain de la souffrance en proposant une prise en charge médicale et éthique pour respecter la dignité du mourant.

Le projet législatif relatif à la fin de vie introduit une possibilité d’une aide active à mourir, strictement encadrée, et destinée aux personnes majeures confrontées à une maladie incurable à un stade avancé, endurant des souffrances considérées comme insupportables, et pleinement aptes à formuler un consentement libre et éclairé. D’un autre côté, l’exécutif affiche son intention de renforcer les dispositifs de soins palliatifs, notamment à travers l’ouverture de nouvelles unités dédiées en diversifiant l’offre territoriale aujourd’hui répartie de manière inégale, dans l’objectif d’offrir un accompagnement plus humain et attentif aux personnes en fin de vie.

Cependant, les soins palliatifs restent sous-dotés et leur accès très inégal, alors qu’ils soulagent efficacement la fin de vie. Et malgré les intentions affichées,les annonces de 40 milliards d’euros d’économies dans les dépenses publiques [4] interrogent sur la sincérité de l’engagement. Car les soins palliatifs sont coûteux, exigeant du personnel qualifié et du temps humain.

Dans ce contexte, l’aide active à mourir apparaît comme une option qui permettrait de rationaliser les dépenses de santé. Elle devient alors une forme de démission collective, un abandon médical et social travesti en droit nouveau. Au lieu de combattre la solitude et la souffrance des personnes en fin de vie, la société pourrait bientôt les encourager subtilement à fairele “choix’ de mourir. Une pression sociale implicite pourrait s’exercer sur les personnes âgées ou dépendantes. On peut craindre que survienne une « sélection sociale », où ceux qui coûtent deviendraient ceux qu’il serait rationnel — ou socialement acceptable — de faire disparaître.

De l’euthanasie au transhumanisme : vers un marché de la mort

Les pays ayant légalisé l’euthanasie et le suicide assisté n’ont cessé d’élargir leurs critères. Initialement limitée aux malades incurables en phase terminale, la pratique s’étend progressivement à des personnes en souffrance psychique, à des adolescents, voire à des personnes ayant tout simplement manifesté leur volonté d’en finir avec la vie. En Belgique, des mineurs ont été euthanasiés [5]. Aux Pays-Bas, un projet de loi vise à autoriser le suicide assisté à partir de 75 ans ’sans condition médicale’ [6]. Au Canada, on envisage d’y inclure les personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux [7]. On imagine sans mal les dérives totales que cela pourrait engendrer si l’aide active à mourir s’étendait à d’autres catégories de personnes. Qu’une société puisse envisager d’autoriser l’euthanasie ou le suicide assisté pour des personnes dépressives ou souffrant de stress post-traumatique, au prétexte qu’elles seraient irréversiblement atteintes,plutôt que de tout mettre en œuvre pour les accompagner vers la guérison, en dit long sur la faillite morale de notre époque.

Mais derrière la généralisation de cette nouvelle liberté, se profile l’avènement d’un véritable marché de la mort. Au Canada, l’euthanasie est déjà proposée sous forme de forfait dans des funérariums, illustrant une marchandisation croissante de l’existence humaine dans le cadre d’une société néolibérale La mort elle-même devient un nouveau champ d’accumulation capitaliste. On imagine déjà des agences spécialisées, des forfaits « fin de vie », des services personnalisés de mise à mort avec accompagnement sur-mesure.

Dans le film dystopique Soleil Vert sorti en 1973 qui montre un futur postapocalyptique où les humains ont épuisé l’essentiel des ressources naturelles, le personnage joué par Edward G. Robinson décide de mettre fin à ses jours. On le voit choisir une mort programmée dans une pièce épurée, où défilent des images de la nature disparue [8]. Cette scène est à la fois glaçante et touchante car on comprend que dans cette fiction, la mort est devenue une simple prestation marchande parmi d’autres mais aussi une échappatoire permettant aux hommes de s’extraire des horreurs de ce monde déshumanisé et sans espoir.

Ainsi, si l’on se préoccupe de l’avenir, c’est sans doute dans l’idéologie transhumanisteque cette volonté de transcender la mort atteint son paroxysme. Les défenseurs de l’humanité augmentée comme Laurent Alexandre ne veulent plus vieillir, plus souffrir, et surtout plus mourir. Ils rêvent d’immortalité, de transfert de conscience sur des serveurs haute capacité, de sauvegarde de l’âme dans le cloud – avec, pourquoi pas, tant qu’on y est, un abonnement Premium à l’éternité. C’est l’obsession des milliardaires de la Silicon Valley : contourner le vieillissement du corps, numériser le vivant, devenir des dieux…

Le philosophe Denis Collin décrit cette volonté de vivre ’au-delà’ comme un délire techno-mégalomane qui pousse à transformer le cerveau humain en machine [9]. Il évoque la start-up Nectome, fondée par deux ingénieurs du MIT, dont le projet est de récupérer les souvenirs de cerveaux décédés pour préserver l’esprit. Une petite cryogénie neuronale de confort, en somme ! Sauf que, comme le rappelle Denis Collin avec un brin de lucidité,’le silicium ne voit rien, n’entend rien et ne pourrait pas être étonné par le monde futur’. En clair : vos souvenirs sur disque dur n’auront pas d’états d’âme, ni même d’état tout court.

Ce rêve d’immortalité numérique est une impasse anthropologique. D’abord parce qu’on ne sait toujours pas très bien ce que cela signifie ’stocker les données du cerveau’, ensuite parce qu’on fait mine de croire qu’on peut contourner la mort comme on contourne une mise à jour logicielle. Le transhumanisme repose au fond sur un immense malentendu : nier ce qui nous rend humains – notre finitude, notre vulnérabilité, notre besoin des autres – au nom d’un fantasme de toute-puissance algorithmique. Une humanité débarrassée de la mort ? Peut-être. Mais aussi, et surtout, débarrassée de la condition humaine pour mieux célébrer l’avènement de l’homme machine.

Même si le texte présenté à l’Assemblée nationale peut sembler, à première vue, relativement équilibré — posant d’un côté des garde-fous éthiques, de l’autre répondant aux situations des personnes en fin de vie par l’annonce d’un renforcement des soins palliatifs — il illustre une fois de plus le fameux “en même temps” macroniste : affirmer une chose et préparer son contraire. Le gouvernement projette de réaliser des économies sur la santé, allant jusqu’à envisager un remboursement des soins selon les revenus, remettant ainsi en cause l’universalité de la Sécurité sociale. Dès lors, le prétendu renforcement des soins palliatifs relève davantage de l’incantation que de la volonté politique. Quant à l’aide active à mourir, même limitée à certains cas dans un premier temps, elle pourrait bien ouvrir une brèche en laissant à d’autres la possibilité de pousser plus loin le curseur demain.

En prétendant libérer l’individu de la souffrance, on risque de l’isoler encore davantage et de transformer la mort en une prestation marchande. Cette liberté nouvelle risque de se retourner contre les plus fragiles, ceux qui ont besoin d’assistance. Ce dont l’humanité a besoin, ce n’est pas de légaliser “le droit à la mort” mais de renforcer l’accompagnement à la fin de vie et de défendre “le choix” d’une société solidaire.
Car une société qui commence par choisir la mort rejette la vie.
