Obviously I am not doing very well at posting on this blog at the moment- with family, work, research proposals and another small writing project I have committed to, blogging has ended up way down the list of priorities. However in order to keep some interest in this blog (both for me and for readers) I thought I would post a great link with some amazing photos.
Panos pictures is “a London-based independent photo agency representing photojournalists worldwide. Our photographers document issues and geographical areas which are under-reported, misrepresented or ignored. In a media climate dominated by celebrity and lifestyle Panos aims to provide fresh perspectives on the world.”
Here are a couple of photos from “Climate Wars”, a collection of photos from refugee camps in the Sudan. A sad indictment on the state of our world- there are many heartbreaking pictures, yet here we still see joy in children’s faces.
Ha! I like it. Now I feel justified in pursuing my PhD. Perhaps I should rename this blog Tortured Genius… no, on second thoughts, it’s the coffee that keeps me sane.
Anyway, I have to apologise to the readers of this tortured genius- I honestly did not realise just how long it has been since I last posted. I’ve been tucked away on my island, happily busy with work and research proposals, and have neglected this blog. But I will be back… I have some ideas brewing for interesting posts, and hopefully soon will have more time to write.
But not tonight. This genius has had enough torture and needs to rest.
The Solicitor-General, David Collins, announced at 4pm Thursday that he would not be granting permission to the Police to lay charges under the Terrorism Supression Act for any of the 12 people they had applied for.
He said that while he felt that the Police had acted properly, after reviewing hundreds of pages of transcripts and video evidence, he felt there was not the required evidence to proceed with charges under the TSA. All 16 arrestees still face arms charges.
It is, I believe, the only sensible conclusion to the saga.
