text: The Franco-Chilean artist Alejandro Jodorowsky has so many facets, so many different talents that we can usually only apprehend one fragment or two of his œuvre. For some of us, Jodorowsky is the author of several comic books and graphic novels, including The Incal with his longtime brother-in-arms Mœbius. For others, he is a writer and a poet. For many, he is a figure of contemporary theater, and a mime alongside Marcel Marceau. For most, he is a filmmaker, the author of revolutionary, magical, and unsettling movies (El Topo in particular). For a few esthetes keen on esotericism, he is a Tarot master. Jodorowsky is also one of the few rare artists who are capable of turning Twitter into a poetic medium today. And the list goes on, for instance with his performances-happenings (taking place currently as well) or with his Fabulas Panicas. Continue reading

As I'm sure it is apparent, decorating is becoming something of an obsession. It is a difficult thing to do without an outside and with carpets everywhere as most projects leave me in a state of panic over potential paint spills (I painted a spice rack. a Spice Rack. I am old). And you'd think I'd actually finish the kitchen rather than starting a million other things.
I'm also discovering that I'm not as exciting as I expected. Sure the paint stripes were delayed, but that's ok, but I always dreamed of fairy lights and now I can't figure out where I would put them if I got them. I still want them, but now things like plug points and fire hazards and other ideas circulate and block out the fun ones. I also caught myself debating between plants vs zombies figurines and a casserole dish this morning (and decided on Billy Talent tickets of course - maybe not so old). I also get into discussions with salesmen about threat counts in bed linen. Like that's even a thing!
Oh, and so I have all these curtains in my flat and some are ok, and others are old and nasty and others are just plain hideous - upholstery-style was never my thing. And I decided ages ago to remove the curtain rods and replace them with bars so I can have looped curtains which I think are so much prettier than taped ones (those are the ones with the hook thingies). Now that I think of it though, there's nothing wrong with the old rods, and taped curtains would be smoother and better for insulation and there's be less wear-and-tear on the fabric.
When did these things get important? For the record the curtains issue is a critical one, I have high ceilings so standard curtains end about a foot and a half off the floor, it looks like I'm living in a place where the windows wear capri pants.
And I spent a while debating tax returns at work today.
Lets look at stripy curtains to forget about these things:
none of the pictures are mine.

Attempts by Missouri legislators to override Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a bill that would have removed hundreds of individuals from state sex offender registries faltered earlier this month, with the state House pushing HB301 to the wayside without a vote. In the wake of the bill's failure, advocates on both the state and national level have aired their concerns regarding the practice of placing juveniles sex offenders on registries, with some considering the practice a counterproductive policy that does little to improve public safety.
The Missouri legislation affected those who, at the time of committing sex offenses, were juveniles. Had the bill not been vetoed, more than 800 people convicted as juvenile sex offenders would have been taken off the Missouri State Highway Patrol's registries, with additional bill provisions creating avenues for juvenile sex offenders to be removed from other official police registries.
Despite passing both houses in the last legislative session, HB301 was ultimately vetoed by Nixon in May. In his veto letter, Nixon said that the legislation did not "strike the appropriate balance" between providing relief to juvenile offenders and upholding public safety. Nixon also criticized the bill for using "overbroad language," additionally criticizing the bill for "depriving" victims the opportunity to be heard before an offender is removed from registries.
Missouri's current sex offender registration law — based on the Federal Sex Offender Registry and Notification Act (SORNA) — has many detrimental effects on juveniles convicted of sex offenses, said Patricia Harrison, an assistant law professor and supervisor of the Saint Louis University School of Law's Child Advocacy Clinic.
The problem, she said, is that SORNA is overbroad, with violent sexual offenses, like aggravated rape, and nonviolent offenses, like receiving or sending a "sext," resulting in the same punishment.
"A lot of it is statutory," she said. "That the child is under a certain age, they're automatically presumed to not be able to consent. But many of the juveniles who engage in these sexual acts are maybe 14 or 15 — so it's just a year over the law's cut-off anyway."
Being listed on the registries, she added, also creates additional lifelong burdens for juvenile offenders.
"It impacts them emotionally, economically and socially," Harrison said. As a result of being listed on registries, she said many juvenile sex offenders are automatically expelled from schools, and their families are likely to be forced to move. Unable to apply for subsidized public housing, she said that some offenders may be left with no alternatives to homelessness.
Furthermore, she said the laws are counterproductive, since sex offenders are among the least likely to juvenile offenders to re-offend.
"The statistics in Missouri show that juvenile sex offenders that have an adjudication for a sex offense only have a 7 percent recidivism rate, which is significantly lower than for other types of juvenile offenses," Harrison concluded. "The next closest in terms of recidivism is around 20 percent, and those are property crimes."
Robert Schwartz, executive director of the Juvenile Law Center, said about 40 states currently place juveniles on sex offender registries, with wide variation depending on age, types of offense and whether or not the registry information is public or private.
"I think most of us who have worked with kids think sex offender registration is a horrible idea that has very little public benefits and causes a lot of harm," he said, "not only to the kids, but the public in general."
Schwartz said the practice isolates young people — often prohibited from places where other children may gather, such as schools — and creates a stigma that is likely to prevent them from obtaining jobs or housing when they are adults. "This is not a traditional developmental pathway," he said, "and the vast majority of these kids are not the kind of sex offender the public is really concerned about, the Jerry Sandusky predator type."
Although juveniles convicted of sex offenses are among the least likely to re-offend, he said that registration laws create "lepers" in society, whose marginalization doesn't improve public safety.
"These kids aren't the people you think they are," he concluded. "[The public] has an image of these kids as predators, and as people who are likely to be repeat offenders, and for most of these kids, that's just not true at all."

Type: Bug
Status: Closed (View Workflow)
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Done
Affects Version/s: 2.0.0.BETA1
Fix Version/s: 2.0.1.CR1
Component/s: Core
I have a situation where temporary conversations that are promoted to long running (due to a redirect) for views with a valid description show up in the conversationList.
If ConversationEntry.isDisplayable adds the contraint !isRemoveAfterRedirect() , then the issue does not appear.
public boolean isDisplayable()
return !isEnded() && !isRemoveAfterRedirect() && getDescription()!=null;
NOTE: The particular instance this occurs in for me is due to a current limitation in seam. Currently there is no way to end the current conversation and start a new one (under a new conversation context) in the same request. For instance :
Im in conversation id 5, I hit the "done" button, which I want to end the current conversation (and destroy that context), then redirect me toto the same view starting a new conversation.
There use to be a "new" propagation mode, but that seems to be missing now. If you simply start a new conversation after the redirect, the current conversation (the one promoted due to the redirect, the same one you wanted to end) is just propagated along and contains all same state as before. This is not the desired affect, I want a NEW conversation that contains only new items
So my "workaround" is to have the "done" out come end the conversation, redirect me to another action, that then redirects me to my final view with a propagation none. The "problem" is that the first conversation, is still out there waiting to be "continued" so that it can convert it back into a temporary (as its marked removeAfterRedirect). Since is a long running conv, it shows up in the conv list (which it should not as its not really a long running conversation). The conv is eventually pruned (due to conv timeout).
<rule if-outcome="done">
<redirect> <!-- redirect to same page and fire the edit action -->
<param name="actionOutcome" value="#
<param name="conversationPropagation" value="none"/>
<rule if-outcome="edit">
<begin-conversation join="true"/>

I have been a political activist most of my life, and although the U.S. government has done everything in its power to criminalize me, I am not a criminal, nor have I ever been one. In the 1960s, I participated in various struggles: the black liberation movement, the student rights movement, and the movement to end the war in Vietnam. I joined the Black Panther Party. By 1969 the Black Panther Party had become the number one organization targeted by the FBI's COINTELPRO program. Because the Black Panther Party demanded the total liberation of black people, J. Edgar Hoover called it "greatest threat to the internal security of the country" and vowed to destroy it and its leaders and activists."
These are the words of Assata Shakur, formerly known as JoAnne Chesimard. Wrongfully convicted in 1977, for a murder that she would have been physically unable to commit. It's pretty hard to shoot someone with an arm that you had been shot in, and which Forensics experts testified that her hands were in the "Surrender Position." Nevertheless, she was sentenced to Life in Prison for the 1973 murder of a New Jersey State Trooper. Her conviction was at the hands of an All White Jury. If you've ever read her biography "Assata," you would have no choice but to agonize at the treatment she received between the time of her arrest & eventual escape from Clinton correctional in 1979 (being left in the morgue-next to her fallen comrad Zayd Shakur, being abused in the hospital & then placed in a Men's Prison, etc.).
Though held in a maximum Security Prison, the visiting area at The Clinton Correctional Facility was said to be more Medium Security. Exposing other shockingly loose security measures, Assata Shakur was liberated by a team of three took three Prison Guards hostage to secure her safe exit from the prison. Each of the three guards were released unharmed & Assata Shakur moved from Safe House to Safe House until eventually being granted Political asylum to Cuba five years later. Today she sits with a $2 Million Dollar Bounty on her Head, and listed on The FBI's Most wanted Terrorist List. But to me, she is a HERO! She personifies every bit of the definition of Freedom, Self-Determination, Justice & Power. May she continue to be safe in these changing times. P.E.A.C.E.

UK to ban politician's children from schooling in UK
This follows last month's conviction of a former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, by a London crown court for stealing millions of pounds from the treasury of his state and spending the same to acquire luxury items around the world.
Ibori was convicted and sentenced to 13 years in jail after he pleaded guilty to stealing and laundering over $80m.
In an interview with Cable News Network, the Unit head of the Proceeds of Corruption Unit of London's Metropolitan Police, Detective Chief Inspector Jonathan Benton, gave the hint that some measures would be applied against corrupt Nigerian politicians in the wake of the Ibori conviction.
He said, "We hope that, by tackling the likes of James Ibori, we're saying to those stealing from the state purse, you can't have your children at private school in London. You can't have a multimillion pound house in one of the most affluent areas of London. You can't drive around in top of the range vehicles. We won't let you move money around to buy multimillion pound jets."
The unit, staffed by a dozen or so detectives, traces the flow of foreign politicians' money through London, and is funded by the UK government's Department for International Development, which also delivers aid to Africa.
The unit investigated the Ibori case for seven years.
In the special report, CNN writes, " Ibori employed a range of methods, some straightforward, some devious. He inflated contracts, took kickbacks, and simply transferred cash out of state accounts. He was helped by his family, wife and mistress, as well as by London-based professionals, who set up shell companies, assisted in purchases and provided false due diligence.
"As governor of the oil-rich Delta State in Nigeria, James Ibori's salary was only $6000 a year, yet he managed to afford luxury properties, fleets of Rolls Royces, a Bentley and a Maybach, first class travel, private boarding school fees and a private jet worth $20 million."
The report also examined the role played by British banks in aiding Ibori to loot his state's treasury as well as why Nigerian politicians find London an attractive location for laundered funds.
According to Robert Palmer of anti-corruption NGO, Global Witness, London holds a double attraction for corrupt politicians.
"We are a major financial and legal centre so there's a lot of expertise, and there's also a lot of assets that go through the British financial institution, so it's easier to disguise your assets," Plamer told CNN.
Palmer, who also believes London seems like a great place to spend "illicit loot," adds, "There's a prestige about being able to bring your assets and your wealth into the UK."

He Would Rather Pay the Taxes in Full
Zadie Smith: "Upstairs, Alex picked up the case from his trip and emptied the contents into the bed. The clothes he lifted in one stinking bundle and dropped into the bathroom's washing basket. Books he put on the floor and then kicked into a reasonable pile in a corner. He filed through the paper by hand, throwing every other piece of it into the bin including all receipts, for he had long ago decided that he would rather pay the tax in full than allow himself to be the type of man who remembers a beautiful day by the expenses he ran up on it."

Loose Knit & Strappy Heels
It's Monday morning and I'm still at home in my PJ's, on the couch, caramel macchiato in my hand and computer on my lap. Yay for yet another long weekend! Must admit, I was kind of suffering from the bank holiday blues, where you suddenly have an extra day off and have to decide on the best way to spend that one very precious extra day. I kept busy with friends, parties and maybe one too many drink over the weekend, which certainly isn't the worst thing to do.
Currently on my wrist: this stainless steel Skagen watch + the Hermès Rivale Double Tour bracelet which I'm very excited about. On to the bottom of this outfit: my new Guess strappy sandals. There's this wonderful shoe walhalla right here in Antwerp, and it's called Omoda. Trust me, if you are looking for new shoes, any shoes, you will find them here. And if not, there's always the webshop to turn to, with its gigantic collection of brands and models. Omoda asked me to be one of their brand ambassadors, to which I just had to say YES because I can and will really recommend the store to each and every one of you. My favourite pick of the moment are these strappy nude Guess sandals, that have a high heel but are surprisingly comfy to walk on. Also new are the Smoke x Mirrors sunglasses – this model is called the Run Around Sue in bright tortoise. Will tell you more about this brand in an upcoming blogpost.
