Apologies for not posting for a week or so. I've been battling the "enemy within" - chronic pain and illness. I won't bore you with a sob story, just that it's been a real bugger! Plus I didn't fancy seeing the "enemy without" i.e.Trump's face and all his associated insanity at the same time.

Sticky rice mortar - Wikipedia

Random Fact

The mortar (for part) of the Great Wall of China is a mix of sticky rice soup & slacked lime.

This was implemented during the Ming dynasty and proved to be stronger and more water & plant resistant than lime mortar without Sticky rice soup.

If you haven’t read George Orwell's 1945 satirical novella Animal Farm, you really should. It’s a great allegory for what’s happening today in America.

Lawyers at the Tbilisi City Court, where the criminal case of 11 protesters is being heard, report a violation of the right to a fair trial. They state that prosecutors & the judge are collectively deciding whether they should remain in custody, instead of reviewing cases individually.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.
