I write about whatever's on my mind and invite guest authors on my blog too.

Play might mean something very different to various groups of people: it could be something that takes place outside, something noisy, a learning process or pure escapism. Children from all over the world engage in play of some form; from the quiet child giving full concentration to a puzzle to poverty stricken places where mundane objects may become a prop or take on a life of its own. </p><p><br /></p><p>People have creative minds which are supposed to problem solve, resolve and make suggestions. There is no doubt that play has a crucial role in preparing children for the adult world. That world can be competitive, scary and challenging.</p><p><br /></p><p>Schools now have break time and recreation with the term 'playtime' being used less. Children chatter, eat their snack and some schools have a spot or a system where everyone is included. Play may not come easy for some or a particular setting is more appropriate/fitting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fun is something else and can be associated with play as well as a lively evening out of many descriptions. Could there be play without fun? Depending on the individual and the living situation this could be the case - particularly with role play where catharsis may be central to children letting off steam.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an adult I recently started to think that my playfulness had died or maybe it was simply dormant but after a moment of laughter something happened - I felt good, really good. Then I realised there was an important element missing in my life: the lightheartedness I once knew. Letting go. The 'feeling alright with life'. How can I retrieve it? Is it even possible to do so with a long term mental health issue. My laughter signalled 'yes'.</p><p><br /></p><p>So just recently I walked the 'playful route' with my dog - the woods with the sun shining became an enchanted forest. The common grey squirrels were the endangered species and not the red ones. They were in their native habitat and their grey coats shone bright. The golf course was the place to avoid because of the buggies that disturbed the creatures' peace where the 17th tee was the worst for people shouting four. The golf balls became giant snowballs to dodge. So this was the challenge then, crossing this path with no frightened dog with heads intact. We made it - phew. Then we tackled the river where I distracted the dog from swimming in frosty water by calling and gently running...Okay it was no miracle cure but certainly a smile and the hint of laughter that yes 'I could still play pretend'. </p><p><br /></p><p>Paula Smith </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p>paula smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00908367975494354924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-36962276386654682402024-03-07T10:45:00.002+00:002024-03-07T10:46:55.946+00:00Beware of the rising tide of Islamaphobia being generated by UK Politicians<p>We can see hatred being stirred up against Muslims because of the protests going on against Israeli genocide in Palestine.</p><p>Stay alert to the manipulation of both Labour and the Conservatives. This all highlights how fickle British democracy really is. It's the same operation: spread lies to divide the population and continue an illegal action by supporting Israel.</p><p>Don't be fooled. Also remember that just because a politician isn't White, it doesn't automatically follow that they're not racists.</p><p>The protests supporting a ceasefire in Palestine are bringing people together from different ethnicities, different faiths, different political ideologies and different countries and they're doing it peacefully....and that is what politicians that allied themselves to Israeli genocide fear. Public opinion is against them, so the dirty tricks begin.</p><p>Those of us that are over 50 years old have seen this happen time and time again in the course of our lives.</p><p>Don't allow politicians to divide us. Don't allow politicians to create hatred and violence through media manipulation. Keep protesting peacefully any way you can.<br /><br />To better understand 'racism', <a href="https://www.crer.org.uk/what-is-racism#:~:text=The%20Oxford%20Dictionary%20defines%20it,explanation%20of%20a%20complex%20issue." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">please read this piece</a>.<br /><br />Please watch this video from DDN about what is happening right now in British Politics:<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vrE2LeJqJHk" width="320" youtube-src-id="vrE2LeJqJHk"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The truth behind the scaremongering is that the British public have woken up to exactly what is being done in our name. This has nothing to do with protecting MPs or democracy. If it did and really had something to do with the safety of MPs, it would have happened a long time ago. I believe this is an overreaction to subvert real democracy, a reaction to the shouts for making our politicians accountable to us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Whenever the British citizenry are united on a given issue, across the political spectrum , it's the best time to witness the actions of the establishment: the left wing and the right wing are parts of the same entity. Democracy is a toy given to the masses to fool them into thinking they have a say in what goes on in society ... but when real democracy does happen, when people get together to challenge their governments or act in unity against a travesty of justice, such as the genocide in Gaza, the left and the right wings close ranks and bully their members to toe the line.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Those of you that witnessed the shameful way that the SNP Ceasefire motion was hijacked and watered down in February 2024, had front row seats on the shambles that is Parliament.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Stick together and bring about the core changes that you want to see happen, peacefully.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Villayat Wolf Sunkmanitu</div><br /><p><br /></p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanituhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08263466047260346050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-31712436156145143392024-03-04T18:25:00.002+00:002024-03-04T18:25:23.306+00:00MPs that didn't vote for a ceasefire in November 2023 - Official Voting Record<p>What's the point in knowing how MPs in the United Kingdom voted on the last Gaza Ceasefire Vote? It shows us who the humanitarians are and those who are complicit in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3WMgoEwTbjY" width="320" youtube-src-id="3WMgoEwTbjY"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>The world has woken up to the lies told by the IDF through various sources, including the ex intelligence officer, Anas Schwartz, about rapes and babies being beheaded by Hamas on the 7th October 2024, as this report shows. What Hamas did was wrong but the Israeli government wanted to influence world public opinion to justify the genocide of Palestinians through propaganda. You can find out more about the history of Israel and Zionism in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6foH3Zc82ZQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">video</a>.<p></p><p><br /></p><p>Israel kept bombing Palestinians after telling them to move South. This isn't how a military trying to minimise civilian casualities operates. Their goal is to wipe all Palestinians off the face of the Earth.<br /><br /><br /><br />I expect leaders to put the needs of people facing injustices above their own needs. I expect politicians to do what they did on that day - vote against the motion or not vote at all. Theyre more concerned about feathering their own nests rather than following a moral compass.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9fP-J8m-BF0" width="320" youtube-src-id="9fP-J8m-BF0"></iframe></div><p></p><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"></blockquote></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><br /><p>We'll be having a General Election soon. Let this list be a guide as to who to vote for...and who to replace.</p><p><br />Any politician that didn't vote for a ceasefire then...when members of all parties were present, isn't going to act fairly for us on less serious injustices at home...and please remember that Keir Starmer tried to intimidate all the Labour MPs to vote against the motion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's the list, courtesy of the Independent newspaper from November 2023. It's in alphabetical order by surname and lists their political party too. It would be interesting to find out how many MPs have taken any form of funding from groups related to Israel. Remember that Israel interfered in our last General Election.<br /><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;"><b><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Ayes - in favour of

I personally feel that we should have evolved beyond the need for wars but another element has dominated the world of politics, and succeeded globally, to start wars: capitalism.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Oxford Languages dictionary defines 'capitalism' as an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. These 'private owners' have many of the most influential and powerful politicians on Earth in their pockets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Through activities such as lobbying (for which 'bribery' may be a better term), the big corporations have been influencing (leaning on) politicians to make decisions that favour the donators rather than complying with the wishes of the electorate. One of these activities is war. Nations will use Main Stream Media (MSM) to spread lies about certain issues to curry favour with citizens of a nation. The BBC has long been used by the British government as a propaganda tool to mislead public opinion; you can add Sky News and ITV to the list...even Channel 4 went a little askew on the issue of Palestine in 2023 but seem to be reporting fairly now. The negative effects of MSM platforms are slowly being realised as more and more independent news channels are cropping up, fed up with the propaganda that we're being subjected to...many of these independant presenters/journalists being described as 'conspiracy theorists' by the MSM and those that disagree with their views.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some Independant journalists risk much to bring you the truth...the illegal imprisonment of Julian Assange is an object lesson by the bullies seeking to teach honest journalists about what can happen to them if they tell the truth about issues that governments would prefer remain hidden. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Iraq war was illegal but many people were lied to by the USA's and the UK's governments. Tony Blair should still be tried as a war criminal. It was a war about seizing resources and creating instability in the Middle East...a war created by the Capiltalist War Drum...whose slogan should be 'Greed before Need'.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those same war drums are sounding now but there aren't enough people in our countries' armed forces to do their dying for them ... these idle cowards sitting in elevated positions in society that will never send their families to the front lines ... but it's okay for your sons or daughters to die or come back changed forever by what they will experience, mentally and/or physically. They will go ahead and conscript your children under the guise of patriotism...but it'll be a lie because they'll be conscripted for the cause of capitalism...and capitalism and colonialism are old bed partners.</p><p><br /></p><p>All countries need an armed force or a warrior society but it should be to safeguard the citizens of your own country rather than to use the force to further fill the pockets of the caplitalists...or to allow the corrupt to remain in power.</p><p><br /></p><p>The day is coming when the corrupt British government will have to use the British Armed Forces and Police Services to maintain public order in the streets of the UK; but if you're there serving in uniform and you see ordinary, unarmed civilians like your families standing in front of you, peacefully demonstrating - remember something - remember that they are exercising their democratic rights, they're not criminals. Please don't harm them.</p><p><br /></p><p>In closing, what will you say when the Capitalists tell you that your son or daughter is wanted to fight in an unjust war? The establishment doesn't look after veterans as it is, many are mentally imprisoned by their experiences, from which there is no escape - day or night; is this what you want for your children?</p><p><br /></p><p>We should be evolving beyond the need for war now...especially wars for greed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanitu</p><p><br /></p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanituhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08263466047260346050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-83871000692576476132024-02-22T13:40:00.002+00:002024-02-22T13:54:09.240+00:00What is antisemitism<p> It would be a good thing to understand what constitutes antisemetism in these troubled times.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the <a href="https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">definition of antisemitism</a> that the UK signed up to on 2th December 2016:</p><p><br /></p><p>In the spirit of the Stockholm Declaration that states: “With humanity still scarred by …antisemitism and xenophobia the international community shares a solemn responsibility to fight those evils” the committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial called the IHRA Plenary in Budapest 2015 to adopt the following working definition of antisemitism.</p><p><br /></p><p>On 26 May 2016, the Plenary in Bucharest decided to:</p><p><br /></p><p>Adopt the following non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism:</p><p><br /></p><p>“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”</p><p><br /></p><p>To guide <a href="https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IHRA</a> in its work, the following examples may serve as illustrations:</p><p><br /></p><p>(*1) Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. <b>However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic</b>. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.</p><p><br /></p><p>Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:</p><p><br /></p><p>Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.</p><p>Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.</p><p>Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.</p><p>Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).</p><p>Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.</p><p>Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.</p><p>Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.</p><p>Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.</p><p>Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.</p><p>(*2) Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.</p><p>(*3) Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.</p><p>Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries).</p><p><br /></p><p>Criminal acts are antisemitic when the targets of attacks, whether they are people or property – such as buildings, schools, places of worship and cemeteries – are selected because they are, or are perceived to be, Jewish or linked to Jews.</p><p><br /></p><p>Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries.</p><p><br /></p><p>My observations</p><p>*1 If you criticise the government of Israel, it is not an antimsetic act. Israel is not just a country of Jews, just as the UK isn't a nation of only White Anglo-Saxons:<br /><br /></p><p>Israel ethnic groups</p><p>Jewish 73.5% (of which Israel-born 79.7%, Europe/America/Oceania-born 14.3%, Africa-born 3.9%, Asia-born 2.1%), Arab 21.1%, other 5.4% (2022 est.)</p><p>Languages</p><p>Hebrew (official), Arabic (special status under Israeli law), English (most commonly used foreign language)</p><p>Source <a href="https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/israel/#:~:text=Ethnic%20groups,5.4%25%20(2022%20est.)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CIA</a></p><p>A country must govern for all of its citizens.</p><p><br /></p><p>*2 Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis. <br /><br />You may find this paragraph problematic given what the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinians at the time of writing this piece. The Palestinians are being slaughtered, just as the Jews were in WW2. I feel that this part of the definition needs to be taken out or altered given that Israel have dropped over <a href="https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/legal-questions-answered-and-unanswered-in-israel-s-air-war-in-gaza" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">29,000 bombs</a> on one city during the first six weeks of the genocide, just under half of them unguided. The Palestinian death toll has risen to 29,092 since the start of the attack by Israel, around two-thirds of them women and children. More than 69,000 Palestinians have been wounded, overwhelming the territory’s hospitals, less than half of which are even partially functioning. Israel's actions are a breach of International Law and their views of the Palestinians are the same as the views of those that killed the Jews a few decades ago...exactly the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>*3 Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel. You can't collectively blame Jews for the actions of the Israeli government, just as you can't collectively punish all Palestinians for the actions of Hamas.<br /><br />Many Jews all over the Earth have been calling for a ceasefire in Palestine. Many Arabs and Jews have been living side-by-side peacefully for generations. </p><p>I have noticed some groups groups in the UK blaming all Jews for the attrocities being carried out by Israel and this is something that needs to stop. Judaism isn't to blame for the plight of the Palestinians...it's Zionism. If this situation is to be stopped, all people must come together inspite of any religious, cultural, ethnic or political differences.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember ... <b>criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic</b>. </p><p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanitu</p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanituhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08263466047260346050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-75396730033589991182024-02-20T09:02:00.000+00:002024-02-20T09:02:02.614+00:00Let street art do the talking<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT2mPdpc0Vo-SY0aeqPRFOjUJI7tJpe2SSOdzAWnOx9P2OsDI5Tw3CBS6Hg-NxsDtzY89ljF0TKqW1fR6Hb82exWkcfWHXjM1b4ulTd3bAkynyFuRhyphenhyphenDmCmSddvZB-46SvcFEKy8ONucXTMxH6afdOCfwWbNFHC1yHA6eqrF7Deh8y7mg5y_YIzqVJN_o/s2016/image2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT2mPdpc0Vo-SY0aeqPRFOjUJI7tJpe2SSOdzAWnOx9P2OsDI5Tw3CBS6Hg-NxsDtzY89ljF0TKqW1fR6Hb82exWkcfWHXjM1b4ulTd3bAkynyFuRhyphenhyphenDmCmSddvZB-46SvcFEKy8ONucXTMxH6afdOCfwWbNFHC1yHA6eqrF7Deh8y7mg5y_YIzqVJN_o/w447-h336/image2.jpeg" width="447" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>It is February, 2024. Glasgow. While waiting patiently for the street art tour guide to arrive, after about fifteen minutes realisation has hit - there is no tour happening, cancellation messages arrive too late but we have allocated a good few hours for this.</p><p>There is always next time but this opens a slot for me - curiosity and unanswered questions bloom. The following day while taking a break with oversized rucksacks in the busy city centre, with a quick glance leftwards I spotted this : the image of girls and bubbles being blown. Not only that, there is also one opposite with a very cool image of a french bulldog.</p><p>As an art lover but absolute novice at the same time I wonder and contemplate the perspective I have: the images are big, impressive, life-like and just so beautifully obvious. There is no sense of it looking out of place or intrusive in any way. The gritty and understated premises of this artwork at once surprises, pounces at you and remains discreet. Contained in a tight location with a larger than life proportion, the artwork and its outer exposure is for you to make of it what you will - it has its own story.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjovx3mc2ku4vex_HKLoVET9KiCxC_Xvz4jphrWOUxl2bzdYu1MVpOFCb0TLZtqdA8xKmynXOnQz0BY6DybiM-QkmmOSwjrtTbpX21rmdCok4ql_HGalSxSY3mOM6AizjnIrtyhJ2CsCEFU2FHnXxiJvjwK7fC1-1d3zyIiIe_Ra1DAHJp4lKHQljEY6ec/s2016/image1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjovx3mc2ku4vex_HKLoVET9KiCxC_Xvz4jphrWOUxl2bzdYu1MVpOFCb0TLZtqdA8xKmynXOnQz0BY6DybiM-QkmmOSwjrtTbpX21rmdCok4ql_HGalSxSY3mOM6AizjnIrtyhJ2CsCEFU2FHnXxiJvjwK7fC1-1d3zyIiIe_Ra1DAHJp4lKHQljEY6ec/w408-h306/image1.jpeg" width="408" /></a></div><p><br /></p>Street art for me provokes mainly curiosity - I wonder what it would be like to see the artists in action while working on their piece. Is it purely individual with the image above all as the only focus or are the surroundings chosen for a reason, perhaps a blending of the environment with subject matter.<p></p><p>Accessibility wise on the plus side - there are no fees, unlikely crowding and you can take all the time you like however for any mobility concerns the streets are on a decline at times and so care should be taken.</p><p>Does this particular art form send any specific message? For me it means that street art can be easily integrated into the inner city and surrounding areas and as for permission, complaints and obstacles faced - this was something I wondered about. Although personally I think it looks great and inspiring, maybe there are people with other concerns related to the street art.</p><p>Does street art add anything? Without reading too much into it, this backstreet would likely be bare except for bins and perhaps some litter but with the art it is bold, brightening and even startling. Personally I believe it adds character, authenticity and provokes thinking - is it edgy and cool or maybe a trend that should have limitations? A bland wall brought to life made me stop but would you?</p><p>Could street art be thought of as simply an extension of the art, design and architecture which surround us anyway? It requires a plan, premises and a final execution! Meeting its purpose but is it an otherwise bland wall like a canvas crying out for colour or already doing a grand job of holding up someones accommodation or business?</p><p>Are the queues at art museums and galleries being extended because of street art? Is it perhaps a stepping stone to reach out to other art forms...a causation for stirring up feelings and interest which could embrace creativity as a whole picture.</p><p>Art can soothe, surprise and promote curiosity and street art is not the exception. What is there not to love...</p><p><br /></p><p> Paula Smith </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>paula smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00908367975494354924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-84923350726798035112024-02-16T11:50:00.000+00:002024-02-16T11:50:23.874+00:00Building up from rock bottom<p>What I'm about to say is written from the point of view of someone who is now glad to be alive, although that wasn't always the case. </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">-</p><p><br /></p><p>I was sitting in the outpatient psychiatrist's office sometime in 2016, two years after my first episode of psychosis.

I was secretly stockpiling meds and willing myself to overdose, but one day in frustration at myself I binned them all because I knew I didn't have it in me to take my own life, however miserable I was. I'm glad of that now, although at the time I was kicking myself. </p><p><br /></p><p>That moment was significant because in a weird way, feeling that I wanted to die yet choosing to live - which I did on some level when I binned my meds - whatever I did from then onwards was a bonus. I inadvertently gave myself permission to do what I wanted, when I wanted. If I wanted to sleep, I slept. If I wanted to eat, I ate. If I wanted to buy some little trinket, that's what I did. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not an entirely helpful approach to life, but binning those meds gave me a strange sense of freedom. It was as though at each moment I asked myself, “given that I don't want to be here, but I'm choosing to be, what would I like to do?” That unconscious question was one of many little pieces of the jigsaw that slowly helped me reconnect with myself and regain some small pleasure in life. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfcS5lDLfAbCjDEgDwtDstumyF6TcE67E2WxL-5_NoBeUAUs2clVY1WZCxv2mFTF2gG81XHlSTEZj_pG6JWnqNbhnUyf0sTh0S49nnkorHL_zn7ZLU6TXojNEE3tguSBqgx09MDX0dgUta9QpIlefd9WE4QhF7dar2R9R1GDfAY3eAnSwWcOKrlkwzTo/s2048/halfway%20up%20hill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfcS5lDLfAbCjDEgDwtDstumyF6TcE67E2WxL-5_NoBeUAUs2clVY1WZCxv2mFTF2gG81XHlSTEZj_pG6JWnqNbhnUyf0sTh0S49nnkorHL_zn7ZLU6TXojNEE3tguSBqgx09MDX0dgUta9QpIlefd9WE4QhF7dar2R9R1GDfAY3eAnSwWcOKrlkwzTo/s320/halfway%20up%20hill.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-a3c3e370-7fff-9609-8e4d-4cc8edfc29f8"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Photo by</span><a href="https://unsplash.com/@understandinggrace?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Hillie Chan</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> on</span><a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/man-standing-on-rock-mountain-during-daytime--3iXE-8GImY?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Unsplash</span></a></div></span><p><br /></p><p>In the present day I can honestly say that not all, but most of the time, I want to live.

There have been a multitude of improvements in different areas of my life. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm back working in a job I enjoy, in a way that is flexible enough (and with a boss who is understanding enough) to accommodate the ups and downs in my mood. Since my breakdown I've developed a faith, and a great support network. I have a home. I have become better at managing my money. The list goes on. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am continuing to cautiously build upwards, slowly but surely. Building my resilience. My stamina. How much I can contribute. My social circle. How much I can give as well as receive. The sky's the limit…and yet I don't want to forget where I've come from…rock bottom. Now and then I remind myself of that decision to bin my meds and how I owe it to myself to take care of that broken person.

Heavenly isn't it?<div><br /></div><div>Now some of you will have listened to the briefing given to you by the host company and the lifeguards and some of you won't.

In 2023 I did 5 trips for underwater filming, 2 in Sharks Bay, Sharm El Sheikh. I was astounded to see that there were people standing barefoot, sometimes inches away, from venemous creatures such as the Stonefish, Lionfish and <a href="https://youtu.be/gU80HKnPAKg?si=dJF4XEjDQ6hSTZPA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blue Spotted Ribbontail Ray</a>...and this was in shallow water, 2-24 inches deep. These creatures can kill you if you step on them, especially if you have certain medical conditions.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/epQKWEXCYIY" width="320" youtube-src-id="epQKWEXCYIY"></iframe></div><br /> </div><div><br /></div><div>Not only did they not know what was around them, they were completely unaware that some of these creatures hide under the sand or just beneath rock ledges. There are also non-venemous creatures that hide under the sand such as <a href="https://youtu.be/4R32a2S4NuU?si=ormWRclc0YLyUjQp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stargazers</a>, Crocodile Fish and Flounders ... but I wouldn't like to step on them accidentally either as they have spines that can hurt you. Granted, most of the time, most of these creatures will move away from you but you need to be aware and take precautions, just in case you do make accidental contact with them.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyshmsPBJNOX4qmrcGn2xb6K81HaC_HlyzbFp_AgzzX3JtmJwjrZyw2ZtOjXbWi_qTe2SiQPURXdgH4TpHeWjvOf-fcS9Inf1xGejl43gWoJD1V8sk3mf6aVYb9x9R6x2QyYIN70XkY2R9Dd1hEWJTQNjHk9lodlhn2EgJ1zGSQSdvC7v9wn60SKXsBxU/s2000/20240107_075531.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyshmsPBJNOX4qmrcGn2xb6K81HaC_HlyzbFp_AgzzX3JtmJwjrZyw2ZtOjXbWi_qTe2SiQPURXdgH4TpHeWjvOf-fcS9Inf1xGejl43gWoJD1V8sk3mf6aVYb9x9R6x2QyYIN70XkY2R9Dd1hEWJTQNjHk9lodlhn2EgJ1zGSQSdvC7v9wn60SKXsBxU/s320/20240107_075531.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Always wear some footwear and don't stamp up and down in the water.

Remember not to touch anything. Please do not walk on the coral - swim out gently, have a look and then swim back. Don't get up until you land back on the sandy beach.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you see fish chasing others off, be mindful that it may be breeding season for some species and that some of them have beaks or big teeth and they can give you a serious injury.</div><div><br /></div><div>Always do some research about where you are going and the creatures you might encounter, as well as local customs etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sharm El Sheikh offers you a great variety of wildlife to watch.

One day I decided I couldn't let myself get any bigger, and spoke to my psychiatrist about switching meds. I was disappointed in myself for letting myself get so big, but also angry with the mental health services for letting me. </span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee;">For all that is good about the mental health system, in my case at least, my wellbeing was not looked at holistically. That is, so long as the meds were apparently taking care of my mental illness, there didn't seem to be any concern on the part of my care team for my physical health. This approach is hopefully changing. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh78HUwuxgS72hG3A-ZBuC0RGqj9MDXa3Oa4pY5S8ODBuvcVKIxDhdS0IV7Cf_60k7m0Vmz9H3J7dwuWry3_w1WYmq5ugwfHMZ59vzE71Z1VHXl7tU3_WrT4ErLzfSvDx_VToasB-7zM_7qsfRLDSmYeHyjz5Cpt5ev2mtcF1W-Ot29u8DcrXLr3fiblCg/s4592/stomach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3064" data-original-width="4592" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh78HUwuxgS72hG3A-ZBuC0RGqj9MDXa3Oa4pY5S8ODBuvcVKIxDhdS0IV7Cf_60k7m0Vmz9H3J7dwuWry3_w1WYmq5ugwfHMZ59vzE71Z1VHXl7tU3_WrT4ErLzfSvDx_VToasB-7zM_7qsfRLDSmYeHyjz5Cpt5ev2mtcF1W-Ot29u8DcrXLr3fiblCg/s320/stomach.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-81b134f9-7fff-1708-188a-8902ba7965ae"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Photo by</span><a href="https://unsplash.com/@towfiqu999999?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Towfiqu barbhuiya</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> on</span><a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/a-man-holding-his-stomach-with-his-hands-J6g_szOtMF4?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Unsplash</span></a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee;">However, after speaking to the psychiatrist I switched to another med which doesn't have the same side effect.

A neat choice of carefully filmed personal stories about a famous few. Curiosity got the better of me and so I started to watch such a documentary half expecting to not get past the first episode but I did.</p><p>I wonder who benefits more: the subject - the filmed people themselves or us as spectators taking an interest in the aspects of their lives which they choose to share. Watching as a viewer who is fascinated with psychology and human nature the word which came to mind was 'resilience' which may be a bit of a buzzword right now.</p><p>The high pressure and expectations that can be placed upon a certain few would test any resilience. What is quite remarkable is that even a short time ago 'mental health' and 'well being' was not as much of a talking point as it is now. It is as if with age, permission to talk, to discuss and reveal that yes, all was not well, was a bolted door that needed to be opened.</p><p>On the one hand it is touching to see people opening up and allowing a context to surround their story, giving it meaning and sense. On the other hand we as a viewer can see that their career path/vocation is ultimately causing the pain if not directly then it eventually takes its toll.</p><p>Sadness, empathy and surprise wash over me during these few hours - of course the people filmed are only human with what that brings; fragility, vulnerability and ambition but at the same time they are seeking their gratification, work satisfaction and goals which seem to come at a high price. Mental states, crisis and character are put to question as the workaholic or arguably thrill seeker wants to reach new horizons.</p><p>Admiration and respect rule over the adoration and invasion of personal space - as it unfolds, these people after the height of their career have reached a different place: a place of maturity and reflection and some of their descriptions shed light into the resentments that can grow so quickly. How the general public can react so differently with potentially a warm response while one of anger also lingers and disappointment when things are not going quite as well.</p><p>Resilience and bouncing back are tools which are essential as what life throws is not always kind but it is something which needs to be looked after. Nourishing and protecting that part of us should be essential as we are all fickle and infallible at times and need to feel this inner strength which reminds us that we can and have coped with adversity during life.</p><p>Maybe the great divide is not so great as even with wealth, a voice and recognition we all face the same hurdles: no one gets off lightly when it comes to grief, relationships and loss. We are all chasing our own normality in a way but it is right there within us and maybe we should slow down, observe and accept that we are all enough for ourselves.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>paula smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00908367975494354924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-31210145863327944252024-01-17T07:48:00.001+00:002024-01-17T07:51:08.043+00:00Expressing yourself through art<p><span style="color: #eeeeee;"> As it says on this website that one of its aims is to “inspire people with disabilities to use some form of creativity as a coping mechanism for our difficulties” I thought I’d walk you through some examples of how I’ve used creativity both to cope with my mental illness and also to express myself over the years.</span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee;">At high-school in the 90’s, one subject I enjoyed and succeeded in was Art.

Here is one example from my portfolio of art created in therapy in 2016. In the early days of my art therapy the imagery was quite dark and disturbed as you can imagine. However, I’ve chosen to show a happier image based on a dream in which I was roller skating (a childhood hobby) but then lifted off the ground and started flying. </span></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNPY5rei80neKHZWETbfcFxb2TKjn3S_zgkh2uvtxfu4YrijFImVcJZcgLC8is5ZTYGvR__-rSS21Yken2kbbCETXEvGtsszvO3-51tGqEmQYVxAG5bX4n2vaEnefGIH-0KEiONm6z0WrvKNXnKor9mXFafr_mie5cEPWMRLBMJ6XD1Rcgmqg9mZjSNNQ/s4080/roller%20skating%20.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3060" data-original-width="4080" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNPY5rei80neKHZWETbfcFxb2TKjn3S_zgkh2uvtxfu4YrijFImVcJZcgLC8is5ZTYGvR__-rSS21Yken2kbbCETXEvGtsszvO3-51tGqEmQYVxAG5bX4n2vaEnefGIH-0KEiONm6z0WrvKNXnKor9mXFafr_mie5cEPWMRLBMJ6XD1Rcgmqg9mZjSNNQ/s320/roller%20skating%20.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><i>Skating then flying</i>, crayon</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span><p><span style="color: #eeeeee;">More recently I went on a retreat at a place called Penhurst.

When things were going well or when it suited this person they spent time with me. However, they soon texted me whilst I was in hospital for my first admission to tell me they didn't have the “mental space” to deal with the fact I'd been sectioned. I never heard from them again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here's another example of how some people may react when they see you doing well on your recovery journey. On many occasions I had put up with this other “friend's” bitter and caustic comments. However, as I increased in wellness and confidence I eventually plucked up the courage to politely challenge one of their hurtful remarks. Once more I never heard from them again. </p><p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiL_1CQg0LWym_pP2nJdxFaXzNOsfzHgv7R8JOgm9C9-2sKOIxQl8KiSEqTOlVu8CrbrU81OPnLQrC45RXKIYh2GeAp7SqBBlgsx579553kLfsFbLY8mwCBQNzKsm4HxrEH53C1srQsXieQEeVnclIl5AwCp5NIBN7x6Yfrf1IBNX_199qVA2PsAGYlgg/s4288/butterfly%20unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2848" data-original-width="4288" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiL_1CQg0LWym_pP2nJdxFaXzNOsfzHgv7R8JOgm9C9-2sKOIxQl8KiSEqTOlVu8CrbrU81OPnLQrC45RXKIYh2GeAp7SqBBlgsx579553kLfsFbLY8mwCBQNzKsm4HxrEH53C1srQsXieQEeVnclIl5AwCp5NIBN7x6Yfrf1IBNX_199qVA2PsAGYlgg/s320/butterfly%20unsplash.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-32961d5a-7fff-8bed-484f-6e72e4c3722c"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Photo by</span><a href="https://unsplash.com/@scw1217?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Suzanne D.

I've been filming volcanoes in Iceland since 2021 and it's probably been the safest place to see them, thanks to the efforts of the <a href="https://www.icesar.com/en/icelandic-association-for-search-and-rescue" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ICE-SAR</a> teams around the country.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mSqILTmxh6Q" width="320" youtube-src-id="mSqILTmxh6Q"></iframe></div><br /><p></p><p>The vast majority of people don't take necessary precautions though and put themselves and the members of ICE-SAR crews at risk. As a result, extractions of tourists can take place under difficult circumstances.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some tips to keep yourself safe:</p><p>Make sure you take water and some snacks. Do NOT litter. You must bring back whatever you take out with you. Please stick to the designated trails. There is magma and lava moving in various directions under any volcano and its surrounding areas, listen to the instructions given to you by the Police and ICE-SAR crews and adhere to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take appropriate clothing in layers - especially in Winter. Pick the right clothing that won't trap moisture. The last thing you want is for that sweat to turn to ice on your body if something goes wrong and you can't move. Make sure you have sturdy walking boots and the right kind of socks too. People working in outward bound type stores should be able to give you give advice but it's worth doing your research and asking questions before buying as some sales people will try to sell you anything to make a profit and it isn't necessarily what you need for the trip. As a photographer/videographer, I use the heavy duty Canada Goose gear when I'm filming. However, the jacket is no good for hiking because it doesn't wick moisture away that well but it is excellent if you've got to your location in a sub-zero temperature environment and want to be protected from extreme weather as it won't let the cold in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't forget an outer waterproof layer. Although, if it rains, you should be looking to move away - especially if you have low cloud. If the area fills up with gases, you won't be allowed in anyway.</p><br /><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizzBShKwtQdB92MbBwYd0W9M52PIfO_R3k_E9RDSMTc8Yqo75S7fpolwmuYMxyINBm7VaL_5ZzVxUOAu0na8pN4wrhzUq9-XwhEvCII7fUom2D5eaR1DjIiiAgAcpFjp-XIULxTJCJi_VK1hvimIc9cH9tzW7aLD-kqldOSP8pfllMbPwTbLoHqeBMm8/s1024/Copyright%20Villayat%20Sunkmanitu%20030.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizzBShKwtQdB92MbBwYd0W9M52PIfO_R3k_E9RDSMTc8Yqo75S7fpolwmuYMxyINBm7VaL_5ZzVxUOAu0na8pN4wrhzUq9-XwhEvCII7fUom2D5eaR1DjIiiAgAcpFjp-XIULxTJCJi_VK1hvimIc9cH9tzW7aLD-kqldOSP8pfllMbPwTbLoHqeBMm8/s320/Copyright%20Villayat%20Sunkmanitu%20030.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Take a respirator, especially if you have conditions such as asthma. Again, do your research and get the right one. A half face mask is fine. Also get goggles to protect your eyes. Take a personal C02 alarm as well and monitor your surroundings carefully. Remember that C02 is odourless. Be aware that various gases will be in the area: carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and others may be present, such as hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen halides. Make sure your outer layer is a shell jacket with a hood, If you smell sulphur (which smells like rotten eggs), it means sulfur dioxide is present, so mask up, put your goggles on and pull up the hood of your jacket. If your C02 alarm goes off, you need to get out of that area. Pay attention to the direction of the wind, you don't want to be in an area where the wind is driving the fumes towards you. ICE-SAR crews and the Police will move you away if they see a potential threat to your safety. Please obey their directions. Most ICE-SAR crews are volunteers and they won't risk themselves to save you if you've done something irresponsible - and quite rightly so.<p></p><p><br /></p><p>Test the seal of your respirator before entering the area and make sure you know how long a set of filters is <b>estimated</b> to last. If you smell sulphur when your mask is on, either your seal isn't correct or the filters need changing, if you've been using them before.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take walking poles. They're essential if you have any kind of mobility related disability...but even able bodied visitors will need them. You'll see locals overtaking you and walking without poles - be humble. Remember that they've been going up and down these hills all their lives.</p><p><br /></p><p>Make sure your mobile is fully charged and that you know how to contact the emergency services there: 112 (one-one-two). Take a battery pack to charge your mobile up if you're going to spend the day there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Handwarmers are very useful if you're going to be sitting in cold weather, as are heatpads/wraps for injuries you may have. It can be very uncomfortable when the cold seeps into your bones. </p><p><br /></p><p>Take a torch and/or a headlamp. Especially in Winter. If you're viewing a volcano in lighter months, it's still worth keeping one in your pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Carry a small personal first aid kit for those little cuts. Some of the rocks are very sharp.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't forget any necessary medication.</p><p><br /></p><p>Check on each other if you are travelling as a group and move to the pace of the slowest person in your group. Do not leave anyone behind you on the way there or back. If you see a stranger that's struggling, check on them.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0-bEV0YZ4dk" width="320" youtube-src-id="0-bEV0YZ4dk"></iframe></div><br /><p>I hope you have a great time and see something wonderful but please remember that volcanoes can be catastrophic and that people's homes can be at risk, so please be sensitive when asking about or discussing volcanoes. Also remember that the Police may have closed any access to volcano sites; if they have, please don't try to find another way in. Again, do your research as to whether the volcano can be safely viewed before you book your flight, in order to avoid disapointment. You should seek this information from a ICE-SAR or Police source though rather than any tourism related office as there can be a conflict of interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>Be safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanitu</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanituhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08263466047260346050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-41584780680448381382023-12-18T09:33:00.002+00:002023-12-18T09:39:05.333+00:00The importance of taking regular breaks<p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZxDdRA5x13tW-wMpTNcE-3l_2SFxiIfBL4XxXeGflOVDeVYnA67H_-SfMK8Ovcp0asxd7mO4MdsBkEJrj335z02yjc6U0qpXP0vAW_4CNfUNy2UzJplRDuwKMSvRhVFwL8WKD-AeU9AVce3ynoN_bXVBqWjYBT9HbrRmvDSWMOudF454rozR-a9RSbDg/s4080/St%20Katharine%20chapel.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: right;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3060" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZxDdRA5x13tW-wMpTNcE-3l_2SFxiIfBL4XxXeGflOVDeVYnA67H_-SfMK8Ovcp0asxd7mO4MdsBkEJrj335z02yjc6U0qpXP0vAW_4CNfUNy2UzJplRDuwKMSvRhVFwL8WKD-AeU9AVce3ynoN_bXVBqWjYBT9HbrRmvDSWMOudF454rozR-a9RSbDg/w240-h320/St%20Katharine%20chapel.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Chapel</b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Since my initial breakdown about 10 years ago, I've been on the bumpy road to recovery, with all the ups and downs that go with it. On a particularly bad “down” I have on several occasions experienced a full-blown relapse and hospitalisation. However, more often I have what I would call a “wobble” - mental health symptoms that are concerning but (thankfully) can be managed within the community.</span><p></p><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Each “wobble” is an opportunity to learn how best to take care of my mental health. For me, it’s important to look after myself holistically and I would include my physical and spiritual health also. A few months ago I had a worse “wobble” than usual and it scared me. Luckily I caught it in time, however I felt very strained and in need of a break. I spoke to my Psychiatrist who pointed out that, whether you have a history of mental illness or not, we all need breaks.</span></p><p><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqnjze2UqrFnNBVihm_s8UiCFbBMZZj5NrFGICWfKr-GkONyFslbst2O3zSjj73dAGoNEpw5lCDcVQjqgty2VFZgcH-JY1DbJ-K1ZYLIQhG6xB-758aqYuVnSsDxsdRh7TmQGaIYYeeRJ-ejObqgfe4njQioxpkKLxF2VxmRx55bHjH3Il7bwbzwkawoo/s4080/St%20Katharine%20garden.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3060" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqnjze2UqrFnNBVihm_s8UiCFbBMZZj5NrFGICWfKr-GkONyFslbst2O3zSjj73dAGoNEpw5lCDcVQjqgty2VFZgcH-JY1DbJ-K1ZYLIQhG6xB-758aqYuVnSsDxsdRh7TmQGaIYYeeRJ-ejObqgfe4njQioxpkKLxF2VxmRx55bHjH3Il7bwbzwkawoo/w240-h320/St%20Katharine%20garden.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Garden</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><div><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Taking this on board I resolved that in future if possible I won't let myself get to the point of feeling strained before I take a break. Instead I would schedule in regular breaks in a way that would be both enjoyable in and of themselves, and also help to prevent feeling overwhelmed before it got that far. </span></div><div><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #eeeeee;">With this resolution in mind, I booked an Open Reflective Day (with option to stay over the night before) at The Royal Foundation of St Katharine’s.

On arrival I received a friendly and efficient greeting from the receptionist. I had time to settle into my en-suite room, explore the garden and communal lounge, shower and do some reading before having my tasty pre-booked supper at 7pm. An early night followed. </span></p><p><br /></p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEEXcdGRqY4oqHvkd9mgj3Y1xu_-cRyDd4DYblvYCvOdjA2C-09VKFi8dyd3AQkfOy0XDAJ4yNEJaRnH9tLwuudGssOawU1A9Y0BPD8hPBFDJmzfjHE80-HOTzSHaKRj2E04vfzfzpOwJ-4AhTrpyk0_15jyOCt_NYg-SE26hQukjaLt_tAy9KSunBJLk/s4080/St%20Katharine%20lounge.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3060" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEEXcdGRqY4oqHvkd9mgj3Y1xu_-cRyDd4DYblvYCvOdjA2C-09VKFi8dyd3AQkfOy0XDAJ4yNEJaRnH9tLwuudGssOawU1A9Y0BPD8hPBFDJmzfjHE80-HOTzSHaKRj2E04vfzfzpOwJ-4AhTrpyk0_15jyOCt_NYg-SE26hQukjaLt_tAy9KSunBJLk/w240-h320/St%20Katharine%20lounge.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Lounge</b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #eeeeee;">The Open Reflective Day itself was on the Monday. There were a mixture of services in the Chapel throughout the day which people could attend if they wanted. There was also a Spiritual Director called Sarah (an experienced listener) on hand to speak with us 1to1 if we wished. I availed myself of this offer and Sarah and I spoke pleasantly for the allotted half hour, which ended with Sarah praying for me. We were treated to plenty of healthy and delicious food and drink. During periods of free time, people could work, read, sleep and so on. </span><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Overall it was a brief but lovely 24 hours.

The hustle and bustle of the festive season is upon us and suddenlythat’s all there is, it can seem. Overplayed Christmas songs which never fail to provoke something:good or bad. Oversized Christmas trees where it can be hard to appreciate the beauty because it is all too much to take in. Overindulgent tendencies with chocolates, mince pies and whatever maytake your fancy. Christmas is a ‘big thing’ and increasingly with big gifts - gone is being satisfied with a few golden chocolate coins in the stocking as real money is far better or a credit card.</p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Christmas means so many things to so many people. There are family rituals, rules and particular </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">methods of doing Christmassy things. One person may have family around and do absolutely </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">everything because they always have and it may become an expectation but maybe ‘Auntie’ could </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">do with a rest and other members of the family have their eye on a Christmas Feast package in a </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">restaurant for a change.

A gift of a killer hand bag might say you are worth a lot to the giver but potentially seeing more of the gifter could be the first priority on your Christmas list. </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">As per usual a modest Christmas will be on my agenda.

I find it sad that educated people can behave in this way and risk turning members of the general public against their cause. The main thrust against Israel is the injustice they visit upon the Palestinians through negative treatment based on racism by operating an apartheid regime.</p><p>This is nothing to do with being Muslim. This is about the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands and homes by Isreali settlers that have been empowered by Israle to do this. The other reason it isn't about being a Muslim is because most of the Muslim world in the area failed to adequately support Palestinians in the past. The people that are making it a Muslim issue now are extremists stirring up hatred to take advantage of the situation.</p><p>The whole situation is about Arabs and Jews - both of whom are defined as 'Semites' ... both of whom managed to live together peacefully in the past and still do outside of the influences of certain extremist political parties. If any political party on any side of this mess thinks its okay to completely wipe out the other race - the leaders of both sides are guilty of war crimes and should be tried as such.</p><p>If you attack a Jewish person because of what the state of Israel is doing to Palestinians...you are no better. You are a racist and 2 wrongs do not make a right.</p><p>Community leaders and politicians need to speak up and call for calm and a real, responsible, ceasfire rather than stand by and watch injustices take place on other British Citizens as a result of the actions of Israel. Anyone that goads or directly incites violence against any section of British society should be arrested for a <a href="https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/hco/hate-crime/what-is-hate-crime/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hate crime</a>...this includes members of foreign and our national media.</p><p>No one, which ever religion, that incites aggression upon people - particularly in a multicultural society such as the UK, is helping the situation...all you're doing is dividing our communities at a time when we need to be more united and working towards a lasting peace for Palestinians.</p><p>If you encounter anyone speaking in favour of what Israel is doing to Palestinians, report them for a hate crime, don't take matters into your own hands and don't carry out any injustices against Jewish people that have nothing to do with Israel's conduct.</p><p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanitu</p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanituhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08263466047260346050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-84385128416870269412023-10-30T17:04:00.015+00:002023-11-01T17:16:56.521+00:00Snorkeling in the MaldivesOn the way back, I was asked by a member of the British Airways crew about some pointers re snorkeling in the Maldives and some safety tips. <div><br /></div><div>From my perspective as a photographer/videographer with disabilities, I tend to protect myself crefully because an injury could stop me doing what I traveled out to do and being independent, it would result in a waste of resources and other costs associated with the trip.</div><div><br /></div><div>I always research before heading out on a trip somewhere. The whole of the Maldives is potentially a shark nursery...as well as for many other species of ocean life. The main shark species you'll find are white tipped and black tipped reef sharks and nurse sharks. Baby sharks are everywhere and irrespective of their ages, they tend to keep away from humans. The only way I could film them in certain places was to hide from them off beaches. <br /><br /><br /></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Wf4nI9YOdL4" width="320" youtube-src-id="Wf4nI9YOdL4"></iframe></div></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>When you're out on trips, you'll see bigger sharks but they keep their distance from you, so please don't worry - just enjoy being able to see them. Some may come closer to you. If this happens, stay calm, face them and do not spalsh. If you have any open cuts that are bleeding, you should leave the water. There is no evidence to suggest that menstrual blood could put you at risk of a shark attack but you should be aware that sharks can smell blood urine etc from a long way off.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhepRmklVYBgNS-SGdeMf_M0Rje5AS4fxjGnbwmkKZPB5D0wpLeyj6gcixtz2yEfOuVDdEYRMoyGeEOuQYNraQ41eu6ymTF9573SdyfIwejRk9FT1M91wF0y_wHAYTELXdD1l5NB-8_lrn_L3O8bX8TVX0EK2MHdzDb7FdeqOXL4uBGrpCtz_QtClxsTc8/s4000/20231030_152224.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhepRmklVYBgNS-SGdeMf_M0Rje5AS4fxjGnbwmkKZPB5D0wpLeyj6gcixtz2yEfOuVDdEYRMoyGeEOuQYNraQ41eu6ymTF9573SdyfIwejRk9FT1M91wF0y_wHAYTELXdD1l5NB-8_lrn_L3O8bX8TVX0EK2MHdzDb7FdeqOXL4uBGrpCtz_QtClxsTc8/s320/20231030_152224.jpg" width="240" /></a><b>Equipment</b><br />I use standard equipment when I go snorkeling in the Maldives, irrespective of the weather. My primary concern is to not harm any creatures in the ocean but also to protect myself from contact. I use a 3mm full body wet suit, gloves, short fins, wet socks, snorkel and mask. for reef snorkeling, my preference is shallow locations. Hence the short fins; I don't want to risk destroying any coral with long fins. Use a brightly coloured rash vest too, it increases your visibility if you accidentally drift out of a safe area, as there are strong currents in places, as well as people using jet skis and small boats just off some beaches. The other reason for a long rash vest is that it hides your dangly bits. Remember that it's a Muslim state and you need to cover up when leaving a designated bikini beach. Western swim wear isn't permitted on public beaches. Please respect their rules.</div><div><br /></div><div>I tend to be at the mercy of the waves when exploring shallow coral, the wet suit will protect my arms, torso and legs should something unexpected happen, so do the gloves. Coral related injuries are very common in the Maldives because people get pushed onto coral because of a strong wave or they walk on coral when getting in and out. These injuries can lead to serious infections, so please be careful. Know your capabilities as a swimmer and check that you have space to safely turn and exit any enclosed areas before you go into them.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3fqLDkq21ZqRqpKA53rWlaYO3lU087FUnMBREJaVYefq7mVqZoECf4VB-dgS8TJwXEfPpgCZVDQ27LMMLm7E6vgh0tjnCUeINAk9Li-YKELgh0RVdbJl7lGYLGviItqRZGXB4wHU1QgoMe9VDwWLQbwbP-L6-PrFA18eThzHYbJFO80wkzqx2_4FMQdg/s4000/20231030_155055.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3fqLDkq21ZqRqpKA53rWlaYO3lU087FUnMBREJaVYefq7mVqZoECf4VB-dgS8TJwXEfPpgCZVDQ27LMMLm7E6vgh0tjnCUeINAk9Li-YKELgh0RVdbJl7lGYLGviItqRZGXB4wHU1QgoMe9VDwWLQbwbP-L6-PrFA18eThzHYbJFO80wkzqx2_4FMQdg/s320/20231030_155055.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>For filming, I use a Gopro8 and a manfrotto selfie stick with clamps - not twist action. I have limitations to work with so the selfie stick with addition attachments and my arm length allows me to put the camera nearer the subjects without harming them and it means that I can push my camera down vertically to the areas I can't dive to. I always attach a couple of flotation devices to slow the rate of descent, should I accidentally let go of the camera for some reason.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can view my videos on YouTube. Please subscribe to and share my channel. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WolfPhotographyVideos/videos">https://www.youtube.com/@WolfPhotographyVideos/videos</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Getting in and out</b><br />The moment you enter the water, you will probably see something, so please explore the area first <b>before</b> getting in. You'll see lots of broken coral and small/young fish but you need to be more concerned about what you don't see, so get everything ready, prepare your mask against fogging (I do this with Johnson's baby shampoo) and get your face in the water and look. If it's all clear, do a gentle push off and explore. Do not touch the bottom now until you come back and use the same route back. Do not stop short - just slowly drift in until your elbows rest on the coral sand and then sit up and remove your equipment.</div><div><br /></div><div>Stonefish and Scorpion fish can be in the shallow areas that people walk on, as can other species. These fish can camouflage themselves and blend in to their surroundings. The only way I've spotted them if by spotting the fins or seeing their eyes move. If you're just wading and exploring the beach, use wet suit boots but gently shuffle rather than step. Some fish will raise their spines and release venom into your foot...and their spines can easily penetrate thin layers of neopreme. Lookout for Lionfish too, the local species are orangy red, other species are whiteish.

Don't do it. They can all move much faster than we can. If you chase them, they'll leave the area. Just float along and look and let the species come to you. They're inquisitive too. Sometimes the visibility is low and you can end up surprising each other, as you'll get closer than expected. Remember that top down visibility can be a lot clearer than having your head in the water and looking outwards.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-NefOlZFmS0" width="320" youtube-src-id="-NefOlZFmS0"></iframe></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Generally speaking, a creature will only react with violence if you do something to scare it.

If our armed forces in Northern Ireland had operated the same way that the Israel Defence Forces is operating now by bombing innocent civilians, there would have been far more than an outcry. You cannot take collective action against civilians that are not involved in a conflict. Especially once you have destroyed their homes, illegaly acquired their land and then herded them into an open prison.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Both Hamas and Israel have acted illegally, however, the western controlled world media seems to forget that Palestinians have been subjected to illegal evictions from homes, illegal land grabs, illegal imprisonment and torture of men, women and children and the illegal killing of men, women and children for around 75 years years now. You can search for the information yourselves...but the truth is being hidden and glossed over by the UK, USA and the EU ... and it has to stop. The west seem to be focussed on the recent Hamas attack and are ignoring what has happened and are deeming it irrelevant. The misinformation has to stop. The injustice has to stop. The war has to stop. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>When males from a particular ethnic group are being killed to stop that ethnic group from reproducing, when basic care isn't afforded a population or they are being denied food, water, medical care and are being subjected to different methods of administration, travel options, cultural restrcitions, imprisonment for for protesting and death ... and when the government responsible (Israel) has stated that it wants to get rid of all Palestinians, not only are they operating an apartheid state (as was the case with Hitler and their treatment of Jewish people and South Africa's treatment of Black people), it is also in breach of International law.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Just as the UK couldn't collectively punish the innocent people of Northern Ireland for the actions of the various terrorist groups that operated in the 'Troubles', Israel can't punish and continue to act illegally towards Palestinians.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Article 33 - Individual responsibility, collective penalties, pillage, reprisals</div><div><br></div><div>No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.</div><div><br></div><div>Pillage is prohibited.</div><div><br></div><div>Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Israel are also trying to say that anyone that critises the state of Israel is an antisemite - which is also wrong. The IHRA is the only intergovernmental organization mandated to focus solely on Holocaust-related issues. This is their definition of antisemitism:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>In the spirit of the Stockholm Declaration that states: “With humanity still scarred by …antisemitism and xenophobia the international community shares a solemn responsibility to fight those evils” the committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial called the IHRA Plenary in Budapest 2015 to adopt the following working definition of antisemitism. </div><div><br></div><div>However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.</div><div><br></div><div>There's also another issue: what is a 'Semite'? </div><div>Noun - a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.</div><div><br></div><div>What does Semetic mean?</div><div>Adjective</div><div>1. relating to or denoting a family of languages that includes Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic and certain ancient languages such as Phoenician and Akkadian, constituting the main subgroup of the Afro-Asiatic family.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Relating to the peoples who speak Semitic languages, especially Hebrew and Arabic.</div><div><br></div><div>Yet the definition of antisemetic is defined as:</div><div>adjective: antisemitic</div><div>hostile to or prejudiced against Jewish people. </div><div><br></div><div>Israel started a full scale attack on Palestinians after the Hamas rocket attacks. It's a bit like that part of the bible...David and Goliath...but the government of Israel are Goliath now, as they carpet bomb innocent civilians that don't even support Hamas. If they're guilty of anything, it's defying Israel's apartheid regime and many Jewish people support the Palestinians and speak against Israel from all over the world.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMi20GclQfnOJqgoWQ4MHvQpS1Nj5Ih0Uw0lf1LZrgZz8RRZNFapTxvQCkdBqvPdvAqq-Z-K9V2rRatoO9089j27YIsmtH2-qOhYtNPP2pdvQpe6X_UwPy96fB4yeAP-H_pB06N7VIwdMUDFaJUzOZUyHQtc6ptl9AhOMVTMD8D6mYUrC0eEr7uMfCc0U/s1098/ScreenHunter%2069.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="592" data-original-width="1098" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMi20GclQfnOJqgoWQ4MHvQpS1Nj5Ih0Uw0lf1LZrgZz8RRZNFapTxvQCkdBqvPdvAqq-Z-K9V2rRatoO9089j27YIsmtH2-qOhYtNPP2pdvQpe6X_UwPy96fB4yeAP-H_pB06N7VIwdMUDFaJUzOZUyHQtc6ptl9AhOMVTMD8D6mYUrC0eEr7uMfCc0U/w320-h173/ScreenHunter%2069.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br></div><div>On the 18th October, Al-Jazeera reported that the UN Security Council's resolution for a ceasefire had failed because it was vetoed by the USA.

You can't isolate a response citing the Hamas attack of the 7th October 2023.

When you consider Israeli interference in the politics of the UK and USA, this isn't beyond the realms of possibility.</div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O_MlvHw1btw" width="320" youtube-src-id="O_MlvHw1btw"></iframe></div><br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>There needs to be a balanced response from the world based on an awareness of the whole situation. There needs to be a ceasefire and there needs to be a real effort made for peace, as well as justice, for all concerned. There also needs to be a 2 state solution. That is where the International community should concentrate their collective efforts. Countless Jewish people around the world are aware of the injustice that Palestinians face ... and they support the Palestinians. Please open your eyes to the plight of Palestinians ... before it is too late.</div><div><br></div><div>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanitu</div>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanituhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08263466047260346050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-73068355610476837672023-10-02T02:27:00.002+01:002023-10-16T12:54:32.898+01:00The Creative Act of Drawing<p>This is my first blog post and I would like to begin by introducing what Drawing means to me and how I believe this is at the core of all creativity. In writing briefly about Drawing, I also hope to encourage you, the reader, to draw also. </p><p>Drawing is something we are all capable of doing and I would go one step further in saying we ought to do. Whether you keep a sketchbook as a personal diary or whether you choose to share your work with others, Drawing is invaluable to our emotional wellbeing. We solve, resolve, aspire and dream through drawing and this is why it is imperative to us as people and creators of our world now and future.</p><p>I always enjoyed drawing from a young age myself and went on to study art at university. The BA Hons I took was actually a Drawing degree. Drawing is not just the preliminary step we undertake before painting. It is much, much more! Here are a few characteristics / descriptions of Drawing:</p><p>Records information</p><p>Explores ideas through sketching</p><p>Encourages curiosity </p><p>Teaches us to see </p><p>Fosters imagination</p><p>Helps the flow of ideas</p><p>There are specific principles to Drawing of course for when we look at perspective and technical drawing in general but there is also an intuitive and playful side to it, which is what Picasso worked so hard to capture. Drawing can therefore be confining and liberating. It all depends on what you want to communicate and how. Music has also always been important to me, and I choose to describe it through drawing. These first explorations began on my Drawing BA back in 2000. </p><p>Describing, delineating, drawing parallels and discovering patterns in music scores is what I love to do. I choose to do it digitally and use Illustrator for this via the mouse pad. Drawing digitally suits my current process because I’m looking for accuracy and specificity of colour tones - something mixing paint on canvas won’t give me. </p><p>My working method is logical and calculative at its core but can be intuitive as well. Similarly, a piece of music is written with certain musical theories and concepts (logical bit) and the performance of that piece, is an interpretation of the score, using dynamics and period styling (intuitive bit).</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdG4YH7j5bIPP15A0-14kWrAM-w-88oG_URPNOZTKBGI-EXK_rcjanwZJF-KBb62VckZnoCz0WEod2bHxcrvLhczYjKvPxw1ncCqE5ZJw0EdnrXW9AJOKqo3An0yXBXCdpKmQDsNyGs2L4Mwyg_8LU3hPH_V2pbF8CuRXi4lAQbxL3NhUv2H2Xzhwy11-Z/s1200/Bars%2014-15%20Pian%20Piece%20I.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdG4YH7j5bIPP15A0-14kWrAM-w-88oG_URPNOZTKBGI-EXK_rcjanwZJF-KBb62VckZnoCz0WEod2bHxcrvLhczYjKvPxw1ncCqE5ZJw0EdnrXW9AJOKqo3An0yXBXCdpKmQDsNyGs2L4Mwyg_8LU3hPH_V2pbF8CuRXi4lAQbxL3NhUv2H2Xzhwy11-Z/w403-h268/Bars%2014-15%20Pian%20Piece%20I.jpg" title="Piano Piece I: Bars 12-14, created from the music by Jens Morsing" width="403" /></a></div><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><div style="text-align: center;">Piano Piece I: Bars 14-15, created from the music by <a href="https://jensmorsing.dk/ebooks#!/products/piano-pieces-and-visual-art">Jens Morsing</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">🔊 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2ilwUv3ad0" target="_blank">Listen here</a></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><p>Drawing allows me to make sense of the world around me – of music. It is my escape, my sanctuary. Through drawing, I can reconnect with music and share its inner beauty with others by giving it visual form. It’s a kind of music appreciation through visual art.</p><p>Drawing could be something you also turn to, to reflect on moments or elements in your life, to make sense of them or to take a break from them. Through this introductory post, I encourage you to draw yourself. Go buy a little sketchbook or a big one! Enjoy experimenting and taking some time out.</p><p>For more examples of my own Drawing practice, please visit <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.elizabethmikellides.art" target="_blank">www.elizabethmikellides.art</a> </span></p><p>I also have work in two shows this month, which you can learn more about on my homepage.

To do it on such a large scale is further proof of the decline in morals, when money and big business clash with artists of various types.</div><div><br></div><div>The USA, at the moment, seems to be partially on the side of the creative...the UK seem to be happy to support the theft of creatives but then the UK have been doing that since Orphan Works legislation was introduced.</div><div><br></div><div>When software downloads your images without your consent on a large scale for the purpose of allowing others to use them, again without your consent, it's not scraping - it's theft. </div><div><br></div><div>There's also no regard for the implications of the creative's mental health. Can you imagine how it would feel to know that work that took you time, effort and money to create, has been stolen and reused in the blink of an eye?

I think it leads to ugliness such as racism in some societies. I feel the same about about patriotism. Both can be blinkered and a narrowing of one's awareness is how some of socieites more ugly traits can lurk in the shadows, ready to bite an unsuspecting victim in today's 'democratic' countries. History gives us examples of various countries that have indoctrinated children through flag waving and national anthems etc. It's just conditioning. The UK isn't free from its share of such sins but I'm glad to say that the flag waving element of what some schools tried here died...and rightly so. Acceptance and exclusion can't live in the same classroom; all you end up doing is normalising hypocrisy.</p><p>I find myself at odds with what the governments of the UK, USA, France and Israel (to name a few) are doing. They're all colonisers and they're still using the same mindset to create war, make profit, destroy lives (foreign and their own citizens) and steal land and resources. I've listed the countries that I know about because I've been reading reports of what they've been doing in clear violation of international law and breaches of human rights. <br /><br />I've travelled to all these countries quite a few times over the decades, except for one. I doubt that I'll visit Old Palestine. Just the same as the UK, all of these countries have people with differing ideals, morals and political viewpoints. It's too easy to accuse an American of being a war monger; as easy as it was (and sometimes still is) of accusing all Germans of being Nazis...and that was wrong. We can make assessments about a state or a government based on what they're doing and how they're doing it. I have no hesitation in saying that the Government of the UK is institutionally racist...employing people from different BAME communities doesn't hide that, it just diguises it. I have no hesitation in saying that the USA are war-mongers that profit from death and destruction. I have no hesitation in saying that France are still actively enslaving parts of Africa. I have no hesitation in saying that Israel are operating a system of apartheid and are stealing people's homes, killing their children and destroying the communites of Palestine.</p><p>All of these countries have one other thing in common, they all have inner turmoil, homelessness, poverty, crime, segregation and political unrest. If they chose to solve their internal problems, they could. They would just have to divert expenditure away from unnecessary and illegal/immoral wars.</p><p>There are things that I love about Americans that I've met: their good manners, the willingness to help people, how they get around the underdogs and support them, their humour, music and generosity of spirit ... and I can say the same of all the Nations that I've listed about...from personal experience, apart from Israel. For Israel I've had to rely on social media posts reflecting the same positive values of people living in Israel, speaking up about injustices and trying to make a difference. You just have to vary where you get your news.</p><p>The Establishment is global, not national, We are all controlled in similar ways and the controllers are all known to each other; many were educated together and groomed for their various roles. If you think slavery ended and you're a free person, you're sadly mistaken. If you think that deomocracy exists and you have 'Freedom of Speech' - you do...right up to the point that the Establishment hears you talking about something it wants kept quiet.</p><p>There is more 'Grey' in human societies in the West now than before ... and that's okay. It's okay if it makes you stop and think before you say and do something. It's okay if it stops you stereo-typing someone and doing them an injustice.</p><p>Not every citizen of the UK, USA, France and Israel (to name a few) is a racist or a war-monger. It's okay to dislike the 'State', it's not okay to assume all of their citizens follow their 'States' ideoligies and negative traits.</p><p><br /></p><p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanitu</p>Villayat 'Wolf' Sunkmanituhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08263466047260346050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025209791043563357.post-51988331650650475272023-09-13T08:37:00.002+01:002023-09-13T08:48:18.335+01:00Short Videos - Wolf Photography on YouTube <div>If you'd like to support some of my video work, I've made an eclectic collection of <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1jYv06-iQTfRqDUwhjMTCym0Jk8LZ083&si=2mvtMVd_L6F89CGF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">short videos</a>.
