EPA says toxicology tests after distressing March event detected fenitrothion – which is currently under review – in all dead birds A common agricultural pesticide caused the mass deaths of 200 little corellas across Newcastle in March, the New South Wales environment watchdog has confirmed The Environment Protection Authority said toxicology tests had detected the presence of barley grain and the pesticide fenitrothion in all the deceased birds Fenitrothion is a pesticide commonly used in agriculture to control insect pests An EPA spokesperson said the regulator was continuing its investigation and urged “anyone with information about the deaths or possible pesticide misuse” to come forward “The EPA has been conducting a thorough investigation and will continue looking into all lines of enquiry,” they said Sign up for the Afternoon Update: Election 2025 email newsletter In March, volunteers described “extremely confronting” scenes in suburbs including Hamilton Lambton and near the University of Newcastle Vets and volunteer wildlife carers said they did everything they could to rescue surviving Most of the birds were little corellas but several sulphur crested cockatoos were also affected the EPA’s executive director of regulatory operations said at the time it was a distressing situation with affected birds exhibiting symptoms such as bleeding The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is currently reviewing the regulation and use of fenitrothion In a government notice last year the APVMA said it was “not satisfied” that current use instructions for fenitrothion products would protect non-target species The notice said fenitrothion was toxic to birds and use of it on a range of crops and some fruit and vegetables “in accordance with currently approved instructions posed an unacceptable risk to birds.” the negligent use of pesticides that harms non-target animals or plants can attract penalties of up to $500,000 for individuals and $2m for corporations The EPA spokesperson said anyone with information about the deaths or possible pesticide misuse should contact the EPA on 131 555 Link IconCopy linkFacebook

"Swan Lake," Philadelphia Ballet returned to the Academy of Music Thursday night for another black-and-white program Following a run of artistic director Angel Corella’s Swan Lake earlier this month Philadelphia Ballet returned to the Academy of Music Thursday night for another black-and-white program The works were partly chosen to celebrate Corella’s 10 years directing the company was one of

Corella completing a decade at its helm The work was performed primarily by the principal dancers (including So Jung Shin who was promoted so recently that the program still had her as a first soloist) The movement flows with the costumes — perhaps like through water — although the wide-legged pants made some transitions between flat and pointe look clunky Zecheng Liang’s high-flying solo was exhilarating but it was the complicated duets performed with seemingly little effort that were the most impressive Ducker’s Dance Card was a black-and-white piece a ballroom ballet performed in black dresses and suits with tails Set to Philadelphia composer (and Pulitzer Prize winner) Jennifer Higdon’s “Dance Card for String Orchestra,” it was stylish and energetic The black costumes against a dark backdrop did not offer enough contrast to comfortably view the movement Photos from 2021 show much clearer lighting in the video production Corella created ballets from the ground up and realized he was a choreographer the Spaniard said Boléro kept popping up in his playlists Maurice Ravel’s Boléro is a notoriously difficult piece of music to choreograph danced in strappy black leotards with a lot of skin showing It builds not with emotion but in numbers and movement starting with a solo and ending with the stage nearly vibrating with dancers The building happens slower than the music demands and some of the more technically challenging sections (especially with smaller numbers of dancers) were not clean enough Thursday night with contrasting arm movements and clean lines It was a dramatic way to punctuate Corella’s choreography era and a fun way to close out a program but it would be great to see again in future seasons Philadelphia Ballet in “Boléro,” “Water Dances,”

Her son, David Callahan, 26, graduated in 2019 from The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and is a psychotherapist practicing in Seattle While Reyes Corella says she received little to no mentorship during her studies at ASU the efforts to recruit Latino students and provide resources for them have strengthened throughout the years Sonia Reyes Corella talks about her connection to Manuela Sanchez Sotelo on an episode of “La Platica.” Watch video Hispanic/Latino enrollment at ASU has increased by 130% in the past decade. The university is designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution by the Department of Education a distinction reserved for colleges and universities where over 25% of undergraduates identify as Hispanic/Latino “ASU has made significant strides over the past decades to enroll more students from Hispanic backgrounds and support them toward their goal of earning a college degree,” said Nancy Gonzales executive vice president and university provost the story of Manuela Sánchez Sotelo shows that the contributions that the Hispanic community has made to ASU have been part of the ASU story since our founding as a first-generation college graduate from ASU and as a Latina myself I recognize that my own ASU journey was impacted by Manuela Sánchez Sotelo It brings me great pride to honor her legacy by advancing our ASU Charter commitment of expanding access to all deserving and qualified students Now that she’s uncovered her rich family roots Reyes Corella hopes her third great-grandmother’s story inspires other students to dream big and get their education A lot of people think going to ASU is for rich people or Anglos or that they’re going to feel out of place but we’ve been here from the beginning,” Reyes Corella said Chantel Woodard is graduating with a master’s degree in forensic science from Arizona State University’s New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences and has been honored with the prestigious… College of Health Solutions Outstanding Graduate Student Emily Dow has grown into a highly accomplished doctoral student completing her PhD in exercise and nutritional sciences in just three… Medical studies graduate Mia Tarditi aims to support others across a variety of contexts from the club she established as a student, Pre-Health on Poly Hunter Wildlife Rescue started receiving numerous reports of sick and dead birds on Monday centred on the suburbs Hamilton and Carrington The NSW Environment Protection Authority said it was interrogating pesticide misuse as the possible cause of the “serious incident” based on its observations and advice from local veterinarians said it was a distressing situation with affected birds exhibiting symptoms such as bleeding is completely unacceptable and carries heavy penalties,” he said Penalties reach up to $500,000 for an individual and $2m for a corporation Sign up for Guardian Australia’s breaking news email Kate Randolph, the acting president of Hunter Wildlife Rescue, described the incident as “extremely confronting” and said volunteers and local vets were doing everything they could to rescue surviving, severely sick birds.

According to the senior official "The US has been working for almost a year to prevent the conflict from turning into a larger war In terms of the possible implications of attacking Iranian oil facilities The fear of a global economic crisis and a spike in oil prices a month before the presidential elections is the White House's number one nightmare these days "Israel hasn't decided what to do about the attack yet." According to him I would think about an alternative to attacking oil facilities Israel will not make a decision immediately The main thing right now is to avoid a full-scale war This is now the main role of General Kurilla who has already proven himself as a first-rate soldier and diplomat in mobilizing a regional and international coalition to halt the Iranian attack in April Saudi Arabia and Jordan then worked together with countries like Britain and France to intercept the missile attack on Israel he is reminiscent of General Norman Schwarzkopf fondly remembered from the First Gulf War; he too headed the US Central Command he was successful in commanding the international coalition forces during the war against Iraq in 1991 the mission that will induct him into the hall of fame of American commanders who influenced history He participated in the American invasion of Panama in the First Gulf War and also spent time in Bosnia and Afghanistan His first acquaintance with the Middle East was during the First Gulf War a combat correspondent who accompanied Kurilla and his team in Mosul described him in an in-depth article as a revered commander with high military and human standards also knew how to create a good atmosphere and good relations with the Iraqi authorities not only to feel the pulse but also to build relationships during a tour in the narrow alleys of Mosul his force encountered a car with three al-Qaida terrorists but continued to manage the battle and shout orders while lying in the alley Kurilla was evacuated by reinforcements that arrived on the scene and transferred to the hospital Not far from him laid the wounded terrorist who had shot him who just two weeks earlier had been released from Abu Ghraib prison in what's known as the revolving door method What mainly concerned him was that the command might call his wife Paige and alarm her unnecessarily So he asked for a mobile phone to tell her himself that it was just a superficial wound If any of this reminds you of a familiar reality in another country where General Kurilla has been spending extra hours in the past year in which Kurilla learned first-hand about the Middle Eastern reality certainly helps him understand the challenges facing his current interlocutors in the Kirya (IDF headquarters) Mosul may have helped Kurilla understand what Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and the commanders in the field are facing But this was not enough to bridge the policy gaps between Jerusalem and Washington regarding humanitarian aid in Gaza the Americans' distrust of the IDF's ability to produce an orderly evacuation of the Gaza population the war in Gaza has led Israel in recent months to deal with much more complex scenarios with strategic implications far beyond its borders These are scenarios that the Americans wanted to avoid from the outset They include opening a wide northern front and uncontrolled deterioration into a regional war one that requires a revered commander who will deal with much more than the micro-management of a field encounter And General Kurilla has certainly proven that he has what it takes he has grown in CENTCOM and reached the position of Chief of Staff he was chosen by President Biden to take his place he is responsible for 21 countries in an area stretching from Israel to Pakistan including 600 million people He spends about half his time at the command headquarters in Tampa The rest of the time he moves from country to country in his command area In a congressional hearing ahead of his appointment to the position Kurilla warned that Iran's military capabilities "are expanding rapidly," in ways that threaten US military bases in the region The Islamic Republic with its "malign behavior," he said is the number one destabilizing factor in the Middle East He warned that Iran and its militia network "exploit instability across the region," and that Iran's goal is to remove American forces from the region Although Tehran has refrained from escalating to a large conflict the risk of miscalculation "remains high," the senior general clarified Despite his clear positions regarding Iran Kurilla expressed implicit support for renewing the nuclear deal during the hearing "I support any enforceable agreement that will limit Tehran's ability to obtain a nuclear weapon," he said he acknowledged that Tehran might use the funds released to it as a result of the sanctions relief to support its proxy forces and produce terrorism beyond its borders Kurilla returned for another congressional hearing where he said that Iran remains the main destabilizing factor in the region we identify rapid progress in Iranian military capability," he said noting that Iran of 2023 has exponential military capability compared to its capabilities five years ago Kurilla listed five main points: Iran holds the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the Middle East with thousands of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles; it also holds the largest and strongest UAV force in the region; Iran's huge proxy forces spread instability throughout the region and threaten our regional partners; Iran continues to enrich and stockpile uranium far above what is needed for commercial use and it can enrich uranium much faster than it could even two years ago; and a nuclear-armed Iran would change the Middle East overnight "Our partners are our nation's comparative advantage over competitors like China and Russia," he said "While we nurture deep and ongoing partnerships that can serve as a defense against threats in the region while deterring Iran from its most destructive behavior China sees its partners only as customers." He concluded: "Deterring Iran If in Mosul Kurilla proved his capabilities as an operative in his role as CENTCOM commander he took his education as an aeronautical engineer and his personal and interpersonal skills as a manager of large systems and as a diplomat to weave the quiet regional alliance created under his command between Israel and Egypt Some of these quiet moves were revealed during Knesset Member Benny Gantz's visit to Bahrain during his tenure as Defense Minister but one can certainly be impressed by the good and close relationships that have developed between him and the security leadership of Israel through observing the abundance of photographs even in the era of the previous Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi and later under the command of Herzi Halevi including from the last briefing in the Northern Command's operations center one cannot help but notice the seriousness but also the ease and friendship reflected in the body language of Kurilla and the IDF's top brass the main contribution of the senior American general to its security is what is called in professional ranks "Kurilla's umbrella," which Israeli citizens were exposed to its enormous advantages first in April and now during Iran's ballistic missiles attack on the eve of Rosh Hashanah Kurilla's main contribution as head of CENTCOM is in harnessing technologies and operational capabilities to build a command that maximizes the most sophisticated tools available to it Leading this technological effort is a young and brilliant woman that Kurilla insisted on bringing to CENTCOM Skylar Moore serves as CENTCOM's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Moore taught at a women's boarding school in Kabul Moore was a senior advisor to the Senate Armed Services Committee where she dealt with issues such as technology legislation she made it to Forbes magazine's 30 Under 30 list This is the talented individual that Kurilla insisted on bringing to CENTCOM The result is the magnificent collaboration of the coalition formed under his command which includes the most advanced US systems with satellite assistance and which together with European powers and countries in the region joined twice in a magnificent concert of action to defend the territory of Israel Now the third time is approaching when Israel may need CENTCOM's capabilities to give Iran a decisive response to its latest attack but this week it made it clear that its part will only be in defense and that it opposes attacking Iranian nuclear or oil facilities This war game holds enormous risks for both Israel and Iran could be considered a failed attack that could accelerate the Iranian nuclear program or retroactively create a reality that would lead to some kind of economic agreement between the US and Iran in exchange for "Iranian technological restraint."

Ms. Martin and her students knew me as one of several adult classroom volunteers (often referred to as “teachers” by Ms. Martin) and also as a researcher interested in academic language, the focus of the larger study for which the data analyzed here were generated (see, e.g., Corella, 2020, 2022) I engaged in ethnographic participant observation 2–4 days per week throughout the year during language arts and math activities and at times during other activities (e.g. Martin with academic tasks and social interactions while simultaneously generating fieldnotes collecting copies of student work and other classroom texts and audio- and video-recording approximately 300 h of classroom interactions and ethnographic interviews These audio and video recordings—the primary data source for this analysis—were collected through an HD camcorder and a set of two digital audio recorders equipped with lapel microphones worn by two students per day; the day's focal students were chosen based on their own requests to wear the microphones including the relationships between gestures and peer conflicts in Room Z It should be noted that despite the focus on female-identified students across the examples my analytic focus is not on gender-specific practices or norms a point on which I elaborate in the Discussion section composed of at least two sequential actions or oppositional stances by two or more parties” (p I continued deductively coding for OHP and coyote adding inductive sub-codes capturing more specific observations about particular embodied actions (e.g. “OHP in peer's face” and participants' assessments of others' actions (e.g. The analysis presented in the next section shows how all these aspects of students' practices were central to their socialization to and through the use of gestures for handling peer conflict in Room Z I present analyses of several interactions in which Brooklyn and her peers socialized one another to use OHP and coyote as resources for taking a range of affective and deontic stances central to instigating I begin with a sketch of the teacher's gestural socialization practices related to the two emblems briefly situating them within the local ethnographic and broader sociocultural context I then present an in-depth interactional analysis of how Brooklyn and her peers appropriated these gestures for their own purposes reanalyzing their meanings and forms in ways that shaped and were shaped by their conflicts with one another (A) The “give me five” OHP gesture and (B) the “quiet coyote” gesture as socialized by the teacher students often used the two gestures in ways that pushed back against these ideologies of containment and standard language by creating space for a wider range of evaluations and stances than those made relevant by the teacher's OHP and coyote practices One indication of both gestures' utility and salience in Room Z's communicative ecology is their prevalence I identified 79 tokens of OHP and 30 tokens of quiet coyote produced by students in peer interactions meaning that on average within the data sampled one of the two gestures was visible on camera about every 8 min in the classroom 45 tokens (about 57%) occurred in moments of peer conflict 16 tokens (about 53%) occurred in moments of conflict as became especially clear in moments in which students produced verbal assessments alongside OHP gestures These verbal assessments included characterizations of peers' behavior as “rude” (as in Example 3 below) as violating norms not related to academic communication practices (as in Examples 1 and 3) or as not worth listening to (as in Example 2) The below examples also highlight other ways students' gestural socialization practices departed from Ms including with regard to uses of gestural space and metapragmatic commentary on gestures and stances all of these aspects of the students' semiotic practices point to the strategic ways they used and socialized one another to use OHP and quiet coyote—as well as other gestures not modeled by Ms Martin—as resources for co-constructing a range of stances and investing to varying degrees in these stances The first example demonstrates how students agentively used OHP and quiet coyote, as well as metagestures and other gestures, to covertly carry out conflicts by conducting them largely in the embodied mode rather than the verbal mode (see also LeMaster, 2020) This example occurs as the class is about to begin a daily routine involving recording the temperature Some students have already taken seats on the classroom area rug which has thick black lines dividing it into 20 squares each of which was typically occupied by one Room Z student—a material affordance sometimes used by Ms Martin as a means of socializing students into practices for mitigating or avoiding conflicts at the beginning of a 3-month period marked by near-daily conflict between Brooklyn Martin had suggested semi-permanently assigning the four girls rug squares located at a distance from one another by putting tape with each of their names on particular squares this formal seating assignment system was never actually implemented Martin instead deciding to leave it to the four students to ensure they kept their distance from one another or otherwise avoided further conflictual interactions with one another exemplifying how the students had reanalyzed the form and pragmatic meaning of the coyote gesture as a resource for handling conflict Brooklyn releases the fingers forming the “snout” of the coyote gesture such that her coyote transforms into an OHP; meanwhile Martin's practices as a resource for negatively assessing others' actions Brooklyn's shift from a coyote into an OHP can be seen as upgrading her disalignment to a more deontically authoritative and the coyote–OHP sequence as a whole is relatively marked and thus emphatic (A) Brooklyn (left) directs a coyote gesture at Noelle (right) while Noelle directs an OHP at her and Noelle (right) begin a three-way OHP standoff; Sabrina's and Noelle's OHPs are directed toward Brooklyn and Brooklyn's OHP is directed at the other two students Example 1: “Order in the court!” and the two also differ in that Brooklyn uses her metagesture not only to indicate her own OHP but also to point to Noelle and Brooklyn in a rapid sequence in which she first claps her OHP hand then gestures in a wide arc toward her two peers “this OHP applies to both of you” this novel multimodal directive is met with a partial de-escalation in that Noelle and Sabrina release their OHPs (lines 11 Brooklyn does not visibly respond to Madison's and Paula's moves to mitigate the conflict instead positioning herself as holding onto the conflict by holding her OHP She does eventually release her OHP when Sabrina verbally evaluates it as unwarranted and looks away from her (lines 17 but she keeps hold of her negative evaluation of Sabrina's actions verbally rebuking Sabrina about her choice of seat (line 20) and appealing to Ms In response to being positioned as violating a rule by sitting where she is “not allowed” to sit (likely a reference to the aforementioned adults' rules for the four girls) Sabrina takes a stance of epistemic authority positioning herself as more knowledgeable about the specificities of the rules than Brooklyn by using temporal markers (“before” “right now”) to signal she has registered rule changes that now permit her to sit near Brooklyn but not play with her (lines 25–28) Brooklyn remains invested in her oppositional stance and in the conversation prosodically emphasizing the word “sit” as she counters that Sabrina is not allowed to sit or play with her (line 29) Although this accusation sequence ends at line 29 as evidenced by the fact that Brooklyn performs several more OHP and coyote gestures toward Sabrina in the 10 min following Example 1 and by the fact that 2 weeks later Brooklyn and Sabrina once again have a dispute about seating Example 2: “Talk to the hand!” but with the person who is being discussed (i.e. Although Brooklyn might have ignored Eric's question or otherwise refused to continue the dispute implicitly aligning with Eric's stance on the dispute's relevance by answering him (“no” line 8) and then by offering further details that position Sabrina as the instigator who “just took” the spot Brooklyn was about to take (lines 10 Sabrina's own brief account—uttered with lower volume than Brooklyn's—is that she did not realize Brooklyn was going to sit down (lines 15 By claiming more turns at talk than Sabrina producing her utterances with higher volume and negatively evaluating Sabrina's actions through her verbal accusations and glances at Sabrina (lines 10–13) Brooklyn takes comparatively high-investment stances that help position her as the aggrieved party Brooklyn's verbal actions intensify and support an OHP gesture already in progress Less than a second after producing this verbal utterance Eric physically and figuratively pivots in this stance-taking act by swinging his OHP palm from Noelle toward Brooklyn (line 24) thereby ultimately disaligning with both Brooklyn and Noelle through his multimodal directive to close a conversation that he himself re-opened and the students drop the remaining OHPs and their revisitation of the dispute This sudden ceding of their local moral order to hers underlines how OHP often had a more overtly conflictual meaning in peer-only interactions compared with interactions in her presence background) turns toward Sabrina (left) as she performs an OHP-like gesture within a perimeter gesture The ambiguity of this OHP–perimeter gestural hybrid is an affordance that helps Brooklyn position herself as grasping the relevant academic content while simultaneously and surreptitiously disaligning with Sabrina by reconfiguring the normative meanings of the teacher's OHP practices Since Sabrina's gaze is directed toward her own lap at this point it is unclear whether she would have treated the gesture as an OHP had she seen it as with many embodied and linguistic aspects of the exchange in Example 2 highlights the ways students could gesture simultaneously toward academic concepts and peer interactions a complexity captured by the final example as well Example 3: “You can't do that back!” In Example 3, what begins as a complaint about Natalie's verbal actions (lines 1, 2) quickly comes to encompass Natalie's and Elena's embodied actions (lines 11, 14, 24) as well, with new conflicts emerging (see also Burdelski, 2020a) as the stance objects of the three students' negative evaluations shift and accumulate throughout the interaction The first stance object constructed as worthy of negative assessment is Natalie's verbal behavior Even though both Natalie and Elena had been talking prior to line 1 and even though neither of them had been speaking particularly loudly Natalie is the one with whom Brooklyn initially disaligns by verbally soliciting her attention (line 1) and then directing a coyote gesture at her while frowning and saying “shh!” (line 2) After holding the coyote gesture for about 5 s Brooklyn transforms it into an OHP by releasing the fingers forming the coyote's “snout” to perform OHP (lines 2 this coyote–OHP sequence conveys intensification and together with Brooklyn's frown and verbal imperatives constitutes a multimodal directive for silence is met by a change in her peers' gestural stances as Elena and Natalie release their OHPs (lines 20 Brooklyn's framing of her peers' responsive OHPs as illegal is also belied by her own use of OHP as an oppositional response to others' OHPs on multiple other occasions (including in Examples 1 and 2 above) Perhaps bolstered by the fact that a “teacher” has authorized the use of OHP for disaffiliating with “rude” peers Brooklyn soon returns to performing OHPs toward her peers (lines 33–37) shifting her gaze between them and her poem Brooklyn's OHP beginning in line 33 is the longest OHP phrase in the data analyzed; it lasts ~2 min extending the conflict and marking her high level of investment in disaligning with Natalie and Elena at the same time as one of her hands handles the conflict by holding OHP Brooklyn's other hand handles her classwork by filling out her worksheet allowing her to take an overall stance that treats the peer conflict and the academic task as equally relevant to the ongoing activity This paper has investigated how second-grade students used two emblems, OHP and quiet coyote, along with other semiotic resources, to navigate peer conflicts. Through the lens of the gestural socialization perspective described here, I have presented an interactional analysis of students' socialization to and through (Schieffelin and Ochs, 1986) multimodal practices for handling disputes The analysis highlights both the centrality and the flexibility of the two focal gestures for taking a wider range of stances than those socialized by the teacher's gestural socialization practices Students often used OHP and coyote not only to pre-empt or mitigate distractions and to do so in their own ways—especially to instigate (Examples 1 and 3) and 3) their own conflicts and to monitor and assess others' conflicts (Example 2) Likewise salient within students' conflicts were other embodied resources including spontaneously created iconic gestures (e.g. Example 1; the “perimeter” gesture Example 2) and gestures indexical of raced and gendered personae (e.g. finger wag” and “hair twirl” gestures in Example 3) Another important resource for navigating disputes was metapragmatic commentary of various types verbal directives accompanying emblems (Examples 1 and verbal references to (presumed or proposed) gestural norms (Example 3) these resources often served to heighten students' investment in their deontic and oppositional stances but they also sometimes worked to mitigate them (as in the “hair twirl” in Example 3) and to mediate others' conflicts (as in the “gavel” gesture in Example 1) the analysis presented here paints a more complex and interactionally situated picture of these young participants' actions both of these gestures allowed students to visually mark the omnirelevance of (potential) peer conflict without verbally disrupting concurrent academic activities Given the paucity of research on the role of conventionalized gestures in classroom peer conflicts future research on students' gestural socialization of these and other embodied resources would shed light on how such affordances of emblems and other gestures shape disputes in other ethnographic settings Such work might also examine gestural socialization practices in other settings and would thus be useful for further developing the gestural socialization perspective proposed here she often positioned herself as complying with adults' rules and academic norms as made especially evident when she verbally solicited adults' attention or gesturally positioned peers as violating (proposed or presumed) rules By refusing to take their teacher's hands-off approach to conflict and instead persisting in holding onto their OHPs and the conflicts shaping and shaped by them Brooklyn and many of her peers subtly pushed back against the logics of efficiency and standard language emphasized by the CCSS and dominant US culture many of Brooklyn's and her peers' gestural socialization practices demonstrate how young people can handle academic and social activities simultaneously—a view that is easy to miss without close attention to the nuances of conflict participants' co-constructed multimodal stances This inseparability of students' social and school lives epitomized by the peer conflicts that overworked educators may understandably want students to leave on the playground highlights the importance of anchoring pedagogical approaches to conflict in close observations of children's practices and it also raises fundamental questions about how people are—and can be—socialized to perceive and achieve conflict in different sociocultural settings Such questions go hand in hand with examining the sociocultural and economic conditions that are necessary for supporting lifelong socialization into stances that allow people to engage with all the complex challenges and possibilities of conflict—an especially urgent issue in an era of mounting global tensions and crises The datasets presented in this article are not readily available because participants did not give consent to share the data.

accounting for OHPs to substitute teachers) The connection between OHP and quiet coyote (a gesture specific to classroom settings) as exemplified by the innovative coyote–OHP sequences discussed below likewise highlights the relationship between students' OHPs and Room Z routines Also important is the prevalence and relatively unmarked status of the gesture in a variety of peer interactions (both collaborative and conflictual) none of this means that OHP practices in the broader culture did not serve as a resource for students' interactions—indeed Martin's “give me five” label for the gesture directly indexed gesture practices in other settings—but simply that the teacher's gestural socialization practices also clearly shaped the ways students used and reanalyzed the gesture CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Multimodal stance-taking in interaction—A systematic literature review Children's bodies in British Columbia's child care regulations: a critical discourse analysis CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar “I think they're Hispanic”: agency and meaning-making in Latinx students' discussions about text CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Dialogic embodied action: using gesture to organize sequence and participation in instructional interaction CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar The Dialogic Imagination: Four Essays by MM Bakhtin (C Google Scholar “When verbal disputes get physical,” in Disputes in Everyday Life: Social and Moral Orders of Children and Young People Theobald (Bingley: Emerald Group Publishing Limited) Google Scholar Beaupoil-Hourdel French and British children's shrugs CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Negotiating age: direct speech and the sociolinguistic production of childhood in the Marshall Islands CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar As seen on TV: an autoethnographic reflection on race and reality television CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar and neoliberal policies: mapping a contested moment in the United States Google Scholar The “negative-assessment-Construction”: a multimodal pattern based on a recurrent gesture CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Handling talk: a cross-linguistic perspective on discursive functions of gestures in German and Savosavo CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar “Embodied sociolinguistics,” in Sociolinguistics: Theoretical Debates Coupland (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press) Google Scholar Entextualized humor in the formation of scientist identities among U.S CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar “Say can I borrow it”: teachers and children managing peer conflict in a Japanese preschool CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar and ideology in a japanese-as-a-heritage-language preschool classroom,” in Language Socialization in Classrooms Howard (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press) Google Scholar “Tattling and dispute resolution: moral order emotions and embodiment in the teacher-mediated disputes of young second language learners,” in Disputes in Everyday Life: Social and Moral Orders of Children and Young People Google Scholar Triadic conflict mediation as socialization into perspective taking in Swedish preschools CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Performing irony and white femininity in amy schumer's mostly sex stuff stand-up CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Talking “smart”: academic language and indexical competence in peer interactions in an elementary classroom CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar “It's better language”: the social meanings of academic language in an elementary classroom CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar “Disputes in the peer culture of American and Italian nursery-school children,' in Conflict Talk: Sociolinguistic Investigations of Arguments in Conversations Grimshaw (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press) Google Scholar Du Bois, J.

Volume 11 - 2023 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2023.1275949 The study of animal behaviour and cognition would not be complete without investigations of wild free-ranging individuals in their natural environment direct observations of species living in dense habitats can be challenging leading many studies to focus on attracting target species to pre-selected researchers have rarely applied this approach to studying wild psittacines – an avian group of high scientific interest due to their advanced cognitive skills and conservation threats We developed hoistable feeding platforms and tested their suitability for reliably attracting groups of wild Tanimbar corellas (hereafter: Goffins) opportunistic feeding generalists well-known for their advanced cognitive skills we recorded the visitation rates of free-ranging groups at feeding platforms temporarily baited with dry corn we investigated the effects of several weather-related measures the temporal distribution of foraging activity and the effect of conspecific contact calls (playback stimulus) The results indicate that Goffins accepted the feeding platforms and reliably aggregated within their natural daily foraging bouts While group size during visitation bouts depended on rainfall and resource abundance platforms were still regularly visited by fewer These results provide the first systematic investigation of the temporal distribution and social dynamics of foraging bouts in wild Goffins This study presents a novel method for reliably attracting wild opportunistic feeding generalist psittacines to a standardised It provides a suitable approach for observing foraging aggregations and testing the problem-solving abilities of free-ranging Goffins in their natural habitat Considering these large ranges and the datedness of these results a reassessment is needed to establish the current population trends of this remarkable species Potentially complex behaviours of other psittacine species might likely face similar detection limitations establishing a setup that can reliably attract wild individuals to a specific secure (beyond the reach of local villagers) and monitored location is crucial for future detailed investigation of behaviours under natural we expected that contact calls at the platforms might increase the detectability of these novel feeding sites and visitation rates and the abandoned field becomes overgrown (fallow phase) with either shrub or alang-alang (Imperata cylindrica) grasses We established a research station on an old field bordering the forest (7°48′59.3′′S 131°22′41.2′′E) with the permission and collaboration of local indigenous farmers from Lorulun village and the local government Old logging routes and paths used by local hunters provide access to the primary and secondary forest whereas the main road provides access to the station Figure 1 Feeding platforms at the field site (A) Overview and orthographic map of the study site based on aerial imagery within a radius of approximately 2km around the research station (indicated by the house symbol; red crosses indicate established feeding platforms) (B) The hoistable feeding platform system with long side perches and a camera holder on top of the feeding platform 1m) were attached at each side of the wooden cross to provide natural perching locations A scaffold (1.8m high) made from 1” PVC pipes (Ø 2.5cm) served as a holder for motion-detection cameras It did not obscure the visibility of the food on the platform to passing Goffins it hinders reproductive success by negatively impacting egg hatching Considering a conservative average Goffin group size of 10 individuals the daily corn consumption of a group could equate to up to 1.2kg the amount of corn provided on the feeding platforms was considerably less (1kg over 10 days) than what Goffins would typically consume Once corn was placed on the feeding platforms (first baiting; Day 0) individuals could freely visit the platforms for 10 days a second baiting was conducted with 1kg of corn followed by a further 10 days of free access All platforms were baited on different days to allow for potential maintenance (e.g. replacing damaged branches or feeding plates) One device was attached to the camera holder of each platform providing an overhead view of the plastic feeding plate Cameras were configured to take three images at medium image size and use a no-glow flash setting adjusted for fast motion illumination in low-light conditions Intervals between image bouts were set to 3 minutes Weather data were recorded every five minutes by a weather station (Sainlogic WS3500) installed at the research station These data comprised temperature (°C) The weather station provided detailed reports at 5-minute intervals in April 2022 and March–April 2023 We pseudo-randomly assigned half of our feeding platforms to receive a playback session in the morning of Day 1 after the first baiting and the other half to receive a playback on Day 1 after the second baiting The playback setup included a camouflaged wireless speaker (JBL Charge 5) concealed on trees or shrubs within 10m proximity to a feeding platform and researchers (B.M & M.O.) positioned in a camouflaged hide (approx Materials used to construct the hide included a paracord The hide was constructed the day before the playback session whereas the speaker was placed in a camouflage-patterned string bag and positioned in the early morning (1h before sunrise) on the day of the playback session The playback stimulus consisted of a 19-second sample of loud calls (recorded from a close distance with a directional Sennheiser ME66 microphone and a Tascam DR-44WL handheld audio recorder) produced by a Goffin flock foraging on a cornfield while a second flock was approaching (for the audio file The sample included multiple loud calls from different individuals Post-hoc measurements of sound pressure levels from the speaker (measured with a dBMeter phone application) revealed an average of 86.6dB and a maximum of 92.3dB at a 3m distance broadcasted once whenever a Goffin was spotted within approximately 100m of the platform or heard nearby unless another individual was already present within a 100m radius the playback stimulus was broadcasted once every half hour between 06:00 and 08:00 except when individuals were already present in the feeding platform area Playback broadcasts conducted at each feeding platform could not be heard at the locations of nearby platforms due to the distance and dense vegetation we created another z-composite image to create a mask showing only the feeding plate and applied this mask to the entire image stack the number of individuals in each image (within the visible unmasked area of the feeding plate) was counted manually using the ‘Cell Counter’ plug-in As several weather measures were highly correlated (Supplementary Figure 1) we employed a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to generate a composite score of recurring daily weather measures: temperature The first principal component (PC1) of our PCA based on a correlation matrix of the weather measures explained 88.43% of the variance in the data This component was strongly negatively correlated with humidity (-0.48) and positively related to temperature (0.51) This method revealed a good stability for the conditional (truncated Poisson) model and moderate stability for the zero-inflated (binomial) model (for more details In order to check for collinearity among the predictors, we determined the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) based on a standard linear model, lacking random effects (Field, 2005) the analysis revealed moderate collinearity of daily variation in Goffin visits and the composite intrinsic daily weather variation (PC1; maximum VIF: 5.416) all further predictors showed little signs of collinearity (maximum VIF: 1.661) The dispersion parameter was calculated according to the suggestions in the ‘glmmTMB’-vignette and tested with the ‘check_overdispersion’ function of the ‘performance’ package The data analysed for this model comprised a total of 7850 observations at eight feeding platforms with two daily foraging bouts over a period of 20 days Table 1 Results of the employed hurdle model with the conditional (truncated Poisson) and zero-inflated (binomial) parts; estimates are provided with standard errors Figure 2 Number of all images taken by motion-detection cameras pooled over the course of one day as density plots; the size of dots indicates the number of images available per minute of the day; blue indicates images with at least one (or more) individuals present in the image whereas red represents images without any Goffins Figure 3 Proportion of general visits to platforms as a function of the principal component for daily weather variation; higher values of PC1 correlate to a higher temperature and light intensity whereas they simultaneously correlate with lower humidity; the black line depicts the fitted model and shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals of model estimates based on 1000 bootstraps; the size of the dots indicates the number of images recorded at the same specific value for PC1 as all of the measures are correlated with each other and load strongly on PC1 it is not possible to pinpoint one single factor (sunlight intensity or humidity) as driving or limiting the number of individuals visiting the platforms Figure 4 Numbers of individuals feeding per day in relation to daily weather variation (A) The black line depicts the fitted model (B) Descriptive representation of the distribution of the number of individuals feeding at platforms as a function of time of day in hours;

for both graphs and shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals of model estimates based on 1000 bootstraps; size of the dots indicates number of images recorded at the same specific value for PC1 Table 2 Estimated standard deviations for the contribution of the random effects and residual standard deviation from the employed hurdle model Due to the high correlation between time of day it is not possible to pinpoint a single environmental factor responsible for influencing the Goffins’ behaviour leading to only resident Goffins visiting the feeding platforms as we currently lack individual recognition (limited individual distinction relied on visible body differences personal observations) and movement data on this species it is important to note that the study period coincided with the dry season and that larger variation in rainfall could lead to different foraging activity patterns the clear visibility of corn on the feeding platforms could have served as a sufficient stimulus to attract Goffins as these foraging locations were potentially already known to the locally residing Goffins playback may have been ineffective in attracting additional individuals to these locations Feeding platforms that can reliably attract wild psittacines offer multiple advantages for research in their natural habitat and potential risks should be carefully considered and evaluated at least some psittacines seem to regulate the intake of specific dietary nutrients by managing the proportional consumption of different types of food in their diet (e.g. high-energy anthropogenic crops vs high-protein native seeds) Experimental setups on the feeding platforms can be used to assess the ecological validity of cognitive findings from captivity in a free-ranging environment field aviaries provide an opportunity for more controlled setups as well as motivation to explore experimental tasks Feeding platforms could also be used in behavioural research laboratory facilities that house groups of psittacines to allow a standardised direct comparison between the behaviours and cognitive skills of captive and wild populations potential ethical considerations should be thoroughly evaluated on a species-by-species basis to assess the feasibility and potential benefits of implementing feeding platforms We hope to stimulate field research on wild free-ranging psittacines in their natural environments and consider the presented approach a promising platform for unveiling behavioural and cognitive treasures hidden in the dense tropical forest The datasets presented in this study can be found in online repositories.

I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice Hundreds of corellas have been discovered either dead or in a critical state in New South Wales, Australia, in what is suspected to be a mass poisoning Dozens of distressed birds were seen falling out of trees on Monday, the New South Wales Environment Protection Authority said as they launched an investigation. The affected birds were in the Newcastle, Carrington and Hamilton areas with more than 60 euthanised by a local vet There are fears that more birds may be affected in the coming days often come into conflict with farmers as they cause significant damage to farms the Environment Protection Authority’s executive director of regulatory operations described the situation as “distressing” and said the corellas also suffered from paralysis and an inability to fly “The misuse of pesticides Hunter Wildlife Rescue said that the incident was likely the result of poisoning We are getting calls from members of the public who are finding them in their front yards they are being found on ovals,” the rescue organisation’s head Dr Tania Bishop, a vet with Australia’s largest wildlife rescue organisation Wires also said that mass poisoning was a likely explanation she told the Guardian that toxicology results identifying potential poisons could take weeks “Testing will include ruling out bird flu and inspecting impacted locations for evidence of potential pesticide misuse,” the Environment Protection Authority said “We’re also contacting several vets across the Newcastle area to confirm the numbers of sick and dead birds A practitioner at the Hamilton Veterinary Clinic told the Newcastle Herald he had never seen anything like this in his 13 years there “They spread their wings and look at you as if to say help me The incident has caused outrage in the community. “This is absolutely disgusting! These creatures are our Native Australian birds and have as much right as we do to this earth We are here to protect them,” one resident posted on Facebook “I hope the perpetrators are caught and held accountable and rot!” Another wrote: “What sick human would do this.” The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported in 2023 that farmers in Victoria were using eagles and falcons to deter corellas and other nuisance birds in a humane, non-lethal way to protect their crops. The trained raptors would fly over the affected areas, scaring the corellas without attacking them. Join thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies Evans Head boat owner Peter Hayes tells the story of how a corella was caught up in a fishing line on an overhead power line. “The event unfolded last Friday evening when another boat owner noticed a bird hanging and struggling upside down on the powerline and he alerted me.  It was already getting dark and there was no response from Wires or the utility numbers we called. On Saturday morning at 7am, two boat owners, me and one other, investigated using an owner’s ute to stand high on rubber tyres, wearing rubber gloves, with a 3 metre boathook to see if we could capture the hanging bird while it was well below the power line. Every time we tried, it got itself back up on the powerline, it was way too dangerous so we backed off.  Marine Rescue were there and told us to call the local fire brigade who told us to call triple zero who told us to call Wires who then called the utility.  Meanwhile, Wires and Byron Wildlife Hospital volunteers responded to my direct calls and messages (I had these from a previous rescue of a black swan with a fishing hook in its neck which sadly died after capture) and Wires central called Evans Wires volunteers. They turned up on site at about 9am.  The utility response team then contacted the Wires volunteer on site and sent a truck with a ladder. Of course, that wasn’t going to get six metres into the air over the rock wall. So, they called for a cherry picker from Ballina which turned out was not working. They then called in a cherry picker from Byron that arrived not long after 11am. The utility worker retrieved the corella and removed the fishing line from that stretch of the power line. The volunteers checked the bird and amazingly, found it to be not injured. This was because the thin fishing line had twisted into a thicker braid while it was hanging and spinning under the power line. The fishing line had wrapped around the corella’s neck and chest above its wings.  It did not cut into the bird and it was able to survive the night perched on the line, periodically falling off and recovering. Since Friday, the parent corellas and the flock remained present. During the rescue, the parents stayed close to the juvenile. It was a team effort, if the boat owners hadn’t sounded the alarm, the bird would have died a horrible death, observed by scores of walkers, children, fishos passing by.  The utility did an excellent job in responding. The Wires and wildlife hospital volunteers were on hand when needed to handle the bird professionally. My guess is that the direct cost for the utility workers and trucks was on the order of $1000, plus about 10 hours of volunteer labor by owners, Wires, and wildlife hospital volunteers. So those who leave their fishing line on power lines are not only setting up birds for a horrific and cruel death but also impose a substantial cost on the community. Yes, an airgun could have put the bird out of its misery for almost nothing. But is that the kind of species humanity wants to be – carelessly killing birds that do little or no harm, provide us with much joy, and provide many ecological services?” Richmond Valley and Kyogle newsEmail: indynr.com@gmail.com All articles from our websiteThe digital version of This Week's PaperBreaking news alerts direct to your inboxAll articles from the other agricultural news sites in your areaContinueAn Ag Vic spokesperson said the department was investigating the deaths of over 50 corellas, however it is believed the actual numbers of deaths could rise significantly. "An investigation is underway to find the cause of death of over 50 corellas at the Wimmera River, which were reported to Agriculture Victoria by the Horsham Rural City Council," the Ag Vic spokesperson said. "The Conservation Regulator is assisting with the investigation." The bulk of the deaths have occured around the Wimmera River precinct, with isolated reports in other nearby areas. One of the potential causes of death being investigated is poisoning via agricultural chemicals, either deliberately or accidentally. There have been anecdotal reports from Horsham residents who claim to have found grain sprinkled near where the dead birds were found, which could potentially have been poisoned bait. In other cases of mass deaths of corellas, such as one at Newcastle in NSW earlier in the year, grain protection products such as fenitrothion were responsible, while other commonly available ag chem products, such as mouse bait, can also be toxic to native birds. Ag Vic noted that as a protected species anyone found guilty of deliberately poisoning the birds would incur a significant penalty, including potential incarceration. With the potential of poisoning still in play the public have been warned by Ag Vic not to touch dead or sick birds should they find, but instead report clusters of five or more dead birdsto Ag Vic by calling 136 186. Corellas, while protected, are found in large numbers throughout inland Victoria. They are a source of frustration among some residents due to their damaging feeding habits, which can destroy green spaces, such as sporting facilities.

Manila Standard | Developed by Neitiviti Studios Corella have solidified their craft to deliver an anthemic Corella have delivered their feel-good LP debut at a perfect time This is a record that feels like it’s built for soundtracking summer debut albums can feature tracks which feel like it’s been released with an invisible shackle of fear bestowed upon it But ‘Once Upon A Weekend’ just has the feel of four friends having fun and creating the music that they want to create The indie quartet who all met at music university BIMM have never looked back and have spent a considerable amount of time patiently releasing singles and EP’s in the build-up for this release If you asked an AI to play summer-soaked indie anthems then this record would probably tick all the boxes Virtually every track contains anthemic introductions And it’s the choruses which sums up this record and Corella’s progress so far Each track has different arrangements of choruses This comes from Corella’s level of patience to work on their craft demonstrated in the band's early days this record depicts honesty from the group They take their own experiences of growing up and finding their way as young men with clever wordplay ‘Drifting’ is about growing up but looking at the experience through an older man’s eyes which must be tough to write about when putting yourself in that scenario as a lyricist Other stand out tracks are ‘I Didn’t Know Your Name’ which is a big sounding track with the lead guitar following the vocal melody in the intro and counter-acting it in the verses and pre-chorus There’s genuine emotion which can be depicted through the delivery of the vocals ‘Head Underwater’ demonstrates the bands heavier side with a vocal melody that grabs the listeners attention through fast delivery There is some variation with a couple of acoustic tracks on the album ‘Hometown’ is sure to be a sing-along moment at Corella gigs with a song discussing the sadness of moving away and missing where you’re from which might be a reference to the band moving to university which is sure to hit home with student fans of the group ‘Rock The Boat’ is the other acoustic number The song features a soft picking-pattern acoustic with a light bellowing drum and lead guitar dropping in and out of the instrumentation when different sections of the song's structure are reached This record will be a welcome addition to Manchester’s indie debutantes The band have a very exciting summer planned with a headline tour that kicks off this month and a very exciting appearance planned on the

Also left to cherish her memory are seven grandchildren, Krissi (Jonathan), Justin, Briana, D.J., Noah, Tyler, Shae, one great grandchild Chole with another on the way.

Offer condolences, www.mostifuneralhome.com  Two of New Zealand’s hottest bands, L.A.B. and Corrella, have teamed up to record the official song for Te Matatini 2025. We Belong emphasises the collective strength and spiritual unity represented by the event and the host New Plymouth iwi. Te Matatini, the biennial national kapa haka festival, is the largest celebration of Māori performing arts excellence and We Belong is the event’s theme song. Featuring vocals led by Joel Shadbolt (L.A.B.) and Pipiwharauroa and Ngawaiwera Campbell (Corrella), the waiata embraces the unity and togetherness Te Matatini brings. Pipiwharauroa Campbell – (Pipi) (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti He, Ngāti Pukenga) from Corrella – told the Herald kapa haka was in his whānau blood line. “Kapa haka was a staple for myself growing up. Unlike my sisters, who have stood many times on the stage, I have yet to stand on the big stage of Te Matatini. One day I do hope to when life settles down,” he said. “Also there’s a sense that when they hear that Te Matatini is coming along, whether it’s this year or the next, they feel like, ‘Hey, this is a place I belong to!’ Oh, and they actually enjoy the song, haha.” Campbell said he hopes to attend Te Matatini 2025. “I hope to catch the opening and maybe day one but after that we will be heading over the ditch as part of the L.A.B. Australian tour. But I will definitely be watching.” As the song is recorded mainly in English, Campbell hopes it will have more appeal to non-Māori speaking whānau. “It was intentional as Te Matatini wanted to capture a wider audience, so in many ways this song is a little bit different to other Matatini songs with it being predominantly in English,” he said. “Even though we have the utmost respect for the Māori language, this was to convey that even if you don’t speak te reo Māori, you still belong here at Te Matatini. “This song was written as a dedication to Te Matatini and belongs to everyone here in Aotearoa New Zealand and abroad. “It touches on the stories we tell using kapa haka and the feeling you get from watching and being at Te Matatini, and we ask that all come and share in this. “We also pay homage to where Te Matatini is being held this year – under Taranaki Maunga. Te Kāhui Maunga, kāhui tupua, kāhui wairua.” “We went into the studio in September to work on the waiata, and working with the Corrella team was an awesome experience. We really wanted to capture the vibe and unity that Te Matatini brings to Aotearoa, and We Belong is the result. “Te Matatini is something that we as New Zealanders are incredibly proud of, and hopefully this waiata can help bring a taste of Te Matatini to people across Aotearoa and the world.” Tā Herewini (Sir Selwyn) Parata, the chair of Te Matatini, says: “It’s exciting to have Corrella and L.A.B. collaborate on the official waiata for Te Matatini o Te Kāhui Maunga, He Kāhui Tupua, He Kāhui Wairua 2025. “The waiata We Belong is about kotahitanga (unity) and champions a place for us all in Aotearoa, including a place for te reo Māori and traditional Māori performing arts. Te Matatini is where we belong.” Wharehoka Wano will lead Te Tōpuni Ngārahu, a body representing the region's eight iwi. The plane in which Cuban Glenda Corella Cespedes was flying from Toronto five immigration officers entered the aircraft “Everyone can get off the plane except Glenda Corella Cespedes!” They asked for her passport “The Cuban passport too,” the officer told her Glenda had landed in Cuba to visit her family but was prevented from getting off the plane and was immediately sent back to Canada Unlike other Cubans who have not even been able to board a flight to the island Corella had not been notified of the entry ban into national territory Since 2012 Corella Cespedes has resided in Canada after having waited eight years for the Ministry of Public Health to release her and be able to leave Cuba She had worked as a nurse while still in Cuba The immigration authorities offered no explanation According to Glenda Corella in an interview with EL TOQUE the pilot asked the agents why they did not notify Glenda of the decision 72 hours in advance a protocol followed by nations such as China and Vietnam The explanation was that Glenda had not filled out the immigration form within the required timeframe beforehand “It was only now that we were told you would not be allowed in,” the immigration agents said The document denying entry that Glenda was given was signed by the head of Immigration at the Holguín airport but without a correct name (an arbitrariness since it is an official notification) she returned frequently to visit her family In her luggage she carried medicines and supplies for the treatment of the disease The systemic crisis afflicting the country has greatly affected the health system one of the main pillars that the Cuban Government used to highlight proudly in the international arena Glenda has denounced on social media the deficiencies and impoverishment of Cuban health After starting to make critical posts on her Facebook page posts from a fake profile began threatening her to keep quiet “We know you”; “your Facebook is monitored”; “don’t continue”; “your sanction is two years but if you keep sharing things on your Facebook wall it will be for life”; “Think of your mom who is in Cuba.” They also addressed her friends and followers and told them not to comment or talk because there would also be consequences for them Among the usual practices of State Security agents to silence citizens opposed to power are threats The anonymous threats made to Glenda materialized when she landed in Cuba “My parents and I are devastated because we believed that we were going to see each other I will continue denouncing the abuses and outrages Denouncing is an obligation for both those inside and outside We can’t be afraid to express what we feel.” The obsession with stifling any type of dissent has led the Cuban government to violate international conventions such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states in Article 9 that “no one may be arbitrarily detained The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights argues that no one may be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his or her own country; while the American Convention on Human Rights establishes in Article 5 that “no one may be expelled from the territory of the State of which he is a national or deprived of the right to enter it.” but one still employed by totalitarian regimes A recent example occurred in Nicaragua when Daniel Ortega’s regime banished more than 200 political prisoners to the United States declared them traitors to the homeland and stripped them of their nationality Among the cases of Cubans exiled in the last decade are that of Professor Omara Ruiz Urquiola who has been banned on four occasions from entering the country to reunite with her mother; that of art historian Anamely Ramos; and that of other professional journalists such as Carlos Manuel Alvarez and Karla M Perez (who ended up stranded at the Panama airport after an official notified her that she could not enter Cuba) The Cuban powers that be not only punish well-known figures from the opposition The barrier to enter Cuba is justified by a Law which denies entry to any person who organizes carries out or participates in hostile actions against the political It also prohibits entry to any person when reasons of defense and national security recommends so Cuban jurist Eloy Viera warns that an analysis focused exclusively on what Law establishes forgets that the regulations must comply with an ideal of justice or at least must incline towards its pursuit: “There is no justice or inclination towards its pursuit in a law that legitimizes the violation of human rights There is no justice in a law that serves only to deepen the absolute power of a state no matter what its citizens suffer along the way peaceful civil disobedience can be established as a valid political act of citizenship,” he explains Cuban law recognizes banishment as an accessory sanction which implies that there must be a decision of a court that is accompanied by a main sanction that can be imprisonment or a fine it is essential that the person has been tried There has been no prosecution in Glenda’s case or those that have preceded her The Cuban government has repeatedly refused to legally respond to its human rights violations particularly those linked to politically motivated bans on nationals entering the country several Cuban human rights organizations and activists participated in a public hearing entitled Right to the Movement of Persons in Cuba as part of the activities of the 186th Period of Sessions of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) Glenda’s case does not appear to be the last Today Cuba is a country with more than a thousand political prisoners;

Hunter Wildlife Rescue acting president Kate Randolph estimated that about 300 to 400 birds were affected across the region, with a huge number dying. On the first day that the birds were spotted, Ms Ting told Newcastle Herald she probably spent about 11 hours on the ground I'd come back here and would do laps of the Carrington area," she said "We were transporting birds at the time in the back of our cars and they were screaming I just couldn't stop hearing them at night." Thanks to the work of volunteers, veterinarians and animal welfare groups, about 80 corellas were nursed back to health and released.
