Excerpt from this press release from the Center for Biological Diversity:

Conservation groups sued several federal officials and departments today in the U.S. Court of International Trade over their failure to implement the import provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The provisions’ purpose is to protect marine mammals from bycatch in foreign fishing gear by holding countries exporting seafood to the United States to the same standards as U.S. fisheries.

The lawsuit was filed by the Animal Welfare Institute, the Center for Biological Diversity, and Natural Resources Defense Council against the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (and their respective leaders). The suit seeks a court order directing the government to implement the Act’s mandate to ban seafood imports from countries whose fisheries kill too many marine mammals.

“The U.S. government has violated the MMPA for far too long, causing significant harm to marine mammals worldwide,” said Kate O’Connell, senior policy consultant for the Animal Welfare Institute’s Marine Wildlife Program. “It is reprehensible that more than half a century after the MMPA was enacted, Americans are still buying seafood dinners with an invisible side of whale, dolphin, porpoise, or seal. Enough is enough.”

Approximately 70% to 85% of seafood consumed in the United States is imported from over 130 countries, including Canada, Indonesia, Ecuador and Mexico. The United States is the largest seafood importer in the world, with more than $21 billion worth of seafood products imported annually, accounting for more than 15% of the global value of all marine food products in trade.

Congress enacted the law in 1972 and included provisions about protecting marine mammals from bycatch and banning seafood imports from noncompliant fisheries. But NMFS did not adopt a rule to implement these provisions until 2016.

This import rule, as it is known, requires foreign fisheries to provide evidence that their bycatch prevention measures meet U.S. standards. The rule initially included a five-year exemption period to give countries sufficient time to assess marine mammal stocks, estimate bycatch, and develop rules to reduce bycatch. After that time, NMFS was supposed to determine whether countries’ fisheries were meeting U.S. standards and, if they were not, the U.S. government was supposed to ban imports from noncompliant fisheries.

In 2020 the agency extended implementation of the rule by one year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then it has delayed implementation twice more, and the ban on harmful fishery imports is now on hold until Jan. 1, 2026.

anon hi. Where did you find that picture? Thank you. / They found it on a certain insta acc, but that's the photobank https://www.alloverpress.fi/?42099421814236425610

There’s a ton of photos from that pap day in Italy. I’m surprised more haven’t leaked by now / it's not "leaked", someone has to buy them from the photobank. First we saw a few that Backgrid posted, now found more posted by Chinese fans on Weibo. The rest might be sitting on photobanks' sites but most probably won't be bought bc usually fan sites / large fan accs buy HQ pics from events, photoshoots, or movie stills rather than pap pics.

Reflection

This assignment offered me with many challenges I was not expecting, which although could be irritating at times, offered me a lot more to learn from than I could have expected.

When I found out that we would be creating a digital artwork this semester, and judged on our ability to use Photoshop, I was very pleased as have worked on Photoshop and other image editing tools much in the past. However, the image bank concept put a unique twist on this.

Much of image manipulation relies on the ability to match the environment of the photos you are editing together, in the past I have always taken photos specifically for these images, considered the color and lighting of the environment, and taken photos that fit the criteria of the artwork I am aiming to create. However with rules in place, that we could only use images from this photo bank, and only use one of our own photos, I had to approach this from a new angle.

Instead of pre planning your images and taking photos to match,this assignment forced you to look through a small image bank, work out which images could be paired together, and devise an artwork from this selection. Because of this my options were greatly restricted, but in design we are taught to allow creativity to flow through restraint, and this project certainly brought that out.

I found creating a unique, purposeful and well made Photo-Montage using these images an oppurtunity to find new solutions to the problems they presented. Utilizing new Artifical Intelligence features and applying those to my work, turning cloudy sky’s into foggy overlays, and duplicating the same images in such a way that they looked different from on another were all new concepts to me, and ones I am proud to say, I feel I accomplished.

I am very happy with my final image, the dreamlike nature of the image, and the story it presents feels like it found a purpose made in the chaos of a photobank built on randomness. And the new skills I have learnt while attempting this assignment will carry my photo- manipulation forward into the future.

Overall, although this assignment could be restrictive at times, I found it very educational and relevant and I am proud of what I have created.

Where do you think those new pap pic are from / imo, as usual when there's no article: bought by a fan via photobank/photographer, and they won't properly share info so we'll have to find it ourselves 🥲

🥲 added some thoughts to the original post btw but yeah we won’t know anything in details i guess

london 9th december

We remanded ourselves to the over-eager tourist brigade early again this morning, alighting at St James’s Park station and joining the queue outside Westminster Abbey which seemed to be mostly comprised of holidaying Italians. When it opened its doors for the half-past-nine slot of pre-booked tickets, we were some of the first inside. We began our trek around the familiar chapels and tombs, not bothering with the Abbey audioguide as we had on previous visits. There’s more than enough interest in simply walking about and taking in the history that presents itself around every corner. Again I spent a good deal of time parsing the Latin of various inscriptions, building a photobank of epitaphs I could sit down with properly to analyse when I had some peace and quiet and a good dictionary.

As well as entrance to the Abbey we had paid the few extra pounds to climb its steps up to the galleries, where an exhibition of its historic treasures was being displayed in wings that overlooked the great hall. Many of these artefacts were very interesting—also a bit macabre in the case of the mannequin-like funeral effigies of Stuart kings—and I especially liked seeing their luridly illustrated prayer books created by the Abbey’s monks centuries ago. The real value of the exhibit though was its location, which gave the opportunity to take in that famous view down the heart of Westminster from above. Perhaps for the alleged health and safety reasons and perhaps partially to preserve the sanctity of this remarkable view, no photos were allowed, so it remains captured only in our memories and on several million postcards available where all good London souvenirs are sold.

The sun had finally emerged from behind the clouds by the time we finished our tour, and we hurried away across the Thames onto the south bank just in time to escape a very large soviet of union strikers and socialists who were being bussed into the square for the day’s demonstration. It was by now lunchtime and we made our way to the shopping alley behind Waterloo Station to pick up something to eat. I finally had the chance to try a national staple that had occupied my fascination for a while—a Greggs sausage roll, by its own description Britain’s favourite. Conventional in appearance, it was certainly a step above an Australian service station stale offering: freshly baked in-store, with flaky buttery pastry and flavoursome filling. Costing just over a pound, it was easy to see what made this humble roll such a favourite with the working blokes and tradesmen of Britain on whose territory I rather felt I was trespassing as I waited in line for my turn to order.

We then began a long and roundabout route home along Southbank, passing the Globe Theatre and a near-endless parade of cheap Christmas market stalls. For the first time in my life I stepped inside the towering industrial walls of the Tate Modern, and we spent a little time wandering the studio galleries which contain works of modern artists both iconic and emerging. I was surprised by how many of the artworks I recognised and connected to, though I know little about modern art. We plan to return to the Tate Modern later in our trip to see more, hopefully not too gallery-fatigued by then.

Our passage across Tower Bridge to return to the Thames’ north shore and the direction of home was forestalled by the arrival of a navy ship—we think it may have been from the Netherlands. This spectacle involved the opening up of the bridge and a lot of people had gathered to witness it, only adding to the ensuing pedestrian traffic jam once the boatload of waving uniformed Dutchmen had carried on its way. Eventually we made it onto the opposite bank, walking in the shadow of the Tower of London as the sun began to disappear. Our last brief stop was a tiny, tucked away place of ruin in the heart of the busy district—the church garden of St Dunstan in the East, which grows within the empty walls of what was once a place of worship. Despite the winter bareness it was still very beautiful, and close to Monument from where we walked the underpass to Bank and took the Central line home.

For dinner we ended up returning to much the same part of the city, eating at a vegetarian restaurant called Bubala in Spitalfields. They offered a simple and rich Middle-Eastern set menu—all good, but the highlights were the generous labneh and hummus plates with fresh flatbread, the crispy confit potato latkes and, for dessert, a scoop of date and tahini-flavoured ice cream. Their drinks were also so delicious, my favourite being the lemon and lavender spritz that was luxuriously light and sweet. It was a busy little spot more popular with a younger local crowd than tourist—a lucky find on my part, thanks to the influence of social media. We left and walked through the realm of energetic London nightlife late on a Friday to the walls of the Tower of London once more, where the Circle line train waited to take us on its roundabout route home in the dark.

So I agree about an article dropping soon. Tomorrow there will be either a DailyMail or Just Jared article talking about Seb and Annabelle / or not. If the pics we saw are the only ones the photographer had, there's nothing couple-ish about them. So it might stay between the fan site and photobank, just like the few pics of him in LA in November or at dinner with Halina in NY in October.

Yeah, it's truly a pity that the manuscript is not currently fully digitised or in inhibition because that means we have to take Weir at her word which.... is not good lol The only other information I've found about it are the notes from a former exhibition:

This book was given to her before her marriage, and so she signed it with her maiden name, Elizabeth Plantagenet. Some years later, after her coronation, she returned to the book and added her new title, the quene. It contains the usual prayers, Gospel readings, Masses for the dead and psalms normally to be found in a book of hours. The illuminations are beautiful, if simple, and are decorated not with solid gold leaf, as found in the more expensive books, but with gold paint made with gold dust, producing a sugary, sparkling effect.

The information in bold corresponds to what Arlene Okerlund conveyed in her biography of Elizabeth (interestingly though Okerlund considers 'the queen' bit to be another person's addition but Stonyhurst College doesn't—I personally can't tell). I found some pages from this book of hours digitised on a photobank but alas, not all of the pages are available, let alone the intended flyleaf where the 'Henry' bit is supposed to be.

It is interesting though that although both Okerlund and Weir were able to see this manuscript in person, only Weir made that observation: I wonder if you have to see it under a different light to notice it? Weir's interpretations are often widely off the mark of plausibility (as was her interpretation of Elizabeth's letter to her uncle, for example) but it would be another thing entirely for her to invent this fact about a book of hours...... Unfortunately I can't say I doubt it.

As for Pamela Tudor-Craig, she published several studies on art history including about manuscripts belonging to the Tudor family, so it's possible she worked on this manuscript in specific and Weir was able to consult her. It's enfuriating how Weir doesn't provide more information on this, though.

I swear I remember reading that allegedly before they were married, Elizabeth had written Henry's name in a book of hours, apparently on the same flyleaf where the signature 'Elizabeth Plantagenet' can be found, but had tried to erase it. Have you heard anything about this?

Hi! Unfortunately, I can't confirm that information because it's not available online nor currently in exhibition anywhere. It's this book of hours bearing the signature 'Elizabeth Plantagenet' the one wich allegedly contains the traces of what was once written as 'Henry'. Two things we can imply: that it belonged to Elizabeth when she was legally bastardised, and that someone tried to erase Henry's name, but we don't know if that someone was Elizabeth herself hiding her allegiance or someone else.
