100 Days in Prison and a Lawyer Shot Dead: Turkey Still Won’t Let Our Journalist Go

By Jake Hanrahan Dec 5, 2015 * VICE News journalist and fixer Mohammed Rasool has now been held for 100 days without trial in Turkey.

* The VICE News team’s Turkish lawyer was shot dead in the street one week ago.

* The detention of journalists continues unabated — two have just been jailed on the same baseless terrorism charges that VICE News was accused of.

Our first impression of Adana Kurkculer prison was, as would be expected, a bad one. Several layers of high-walled security doors peeled open as we were driven in under armed guard, our hands cuffed in the back of a military vehicle.

CO2-FREE FUEL REVOLUTION .. by Alex Lightman.. Ted-Talk

After 21 Conferences to ‘Fix The Climate’ we still see CO2 emissions rising and new fossil fuel prospection surging ahead. With the whole biosphere now teetering on the edge of collapse we need every tool possible to postpone disaster

At last a major US ‘tech guru’ is in favour of green-NH3, the non-fossil and CO2-free fuel that has always existed, suppressed by the fossil fuel industry. We’ve been saying it for years with zero impact. all combustion motors can be run on green NH3, cutting climate destroying gases by 30% and minimizing air pollution, and saving millions of us from an agonizing death.

Less than a month after it was revealed that the UK is planning to drop feminism from the politics A-level, every 16-year-old in Sweden is being given a copy of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s call to arms, We Should All Be Feminists

Dear Kitty. Some blog

This video from Kauai island in Hawaii says about itself:

Laysan Albatross Courtship Dancing
18 November 2015
Adult albatrosses may spend months apart from their partners while foraging between breeding attempts; when they arrive on the breeding grounds, pairs reconnect through a series of highly choreographed dances that reinforce their bond and suitability as a mate. Check out this clip taken with a #GoPro during the 2015 season’s installation to get a sense of the impressive coordination and skill of these talented dancers.
Camera is normally live from late January through mid-July—tune in here.
