Da Deff-Flash Raidaz

// Homebrew for an Ork Freeboota warband I’ve been thinking up for some time. A distillation of all my favorite things about Orks in Warhammer.

“I’z ridin’ dis high ‘til Ragnarork comes!”

History

In the clustered and chaotic regions of the galactic center, there could be found a hostile dustball world orbiting a red giant. Though in the center of major orkish territory, it was of little interest to most passing overlords, save as an occasional source of boys. Those parts of it not dominated by great desert flatlands were composed of stormy seas, colossal mountains, or the rare and oft-disputed jungle infested with disease and mutated predators. Phalton Prime, or “Kruzbal” to the Orks, had seen many apocalypses, yet its surface was still home to millions of greenskins, most of whom had since devolved into a savage state. These savage orks were often press-ganged for cheap labor by the few but powerful Tek-Tyrants of the wastes, mountains, and seas.

It was on this world of Kruzbal that one unfortunate Freeboota was waylaid, setting of an explosive chain of events. Kaptin Gorn Blast’ead’s space hulk Black Grog, damaged and flying from the Warp after an unknown misfortune, crashed deep in the deserts of the planet’s singular continent. Crawling battered and stranded from the wreckage, and rounding up what few crew he had left, the Kaptin surveyed the forgotten world he’d found himself on. Within hours they were set upon for their trove of scrap and tech by raiders, which Gorn just managed to fight off, earning him the ire of the first of many tyrants on the world.

Requiring more ork-power, Gorn set about conscripting the local tribal greenskins. Though tough and quick to worship the space-bound ork as some manner of demigod, many could not handle the strange wonders of technology he brought with him and quickly went mad. Among this number was a boy by the name of Ur-Kog, though his change was markedly different. Ur-Kog showed a knack for survival, and a level of control over his insanity. Starting off lame, dumb, and runty by ork standards, Ur-Kog nonetheless started climbing the ranks faster than any of Gorn’s new soldiers. His knowledge of the wasteland was of immense help to the Kaptin, and the newly-appointed Nob’s skill with rallying mobs and tinkering with technology completely unknown to him before grew and grew, along with his physical form. Soon, Blast’ead had become a mythical figure to the savage orks of Kruzbal, slaying the Tek-Bosses and gathering a massive WAAAGH! with Ur-Kog as a prominent general. All was almost lost, however, when Gorn was at last laid low by Da Immortul Slagg, greatest of the coastal Raida Tyrants. The WAAAGH! would have been scattered if Ur-Kog hadn’t seized control of the mobs, assaulting Slagg’s fortress and claiming the Warboss’ head, along with final control of the planet.

For all the barren, ransacked wastes that covered Phalton Prime, the world was host to a strange and powerful hidden treasure. Known as “Kwiksilva”, this metal was prized and fiercely fought over by all the greenskins who called the planet home. Found in scrap deposits in many of the deepest and most treacherous ruins of the wastes, kwiksilva was solid and incredibly durable in its base form, to the point it could not be easily “forged” and so was either used for trinkets, or large and unwieldy armor plating. Bluish-silver in color, when exposed to the right alchemical properties, the normally impenetrable metal could be rendered into an unstable semi-liquid state. In this form, the metal had powerful narcotic properties. It could increase healing factors on injection or inhalation, as well as sending the user into a berserker rage, at the cost of severe physical and mental degradation for most all users. Kwiksilva was prized more than gold or iron, and is still one of the few reasons Kaptin Ur-Kog will return to his old homeworld, save for the occasional mob of “tradishunul boys”.

Since refitting the Black Grog, Madkap Ur-Kog Flashmaw (as he is now known) has made a name for himself across orkdom as a figure of insane but jovial chaos. He first came to prominence during his lootings of the Octarius sector and its neighboring regions, earning the respect or anger of many warbosses, as well as the Imperium of Man. Ur-Kog styles himself as a “collector”, and behaves eccentrically even by Freeboota standards, being easily taken by certain obsessions, and commanding a motley band as mad as he is. With the gathering power of WAAAGH! Ghazghkull, Kaptin Flashmaw has decided to throw in his gaudy cap with the Warlord, for a chance at going on the biggest looting spree the galaxy has yet seen.

Behavior

The kultur of the Deff-Flash Raidaz, as Ur-Kog’s Freeboota krew is known, is a bizarre and distinct thing. Many superstitions and curiosities can be traced as holdovers from their tribal roots, influenced by their Kaptin’s own oddities, and the unconventional makeup of the krew, being composed of many different clans of orks, a large proportion of grots, and even a few non-greenskin mercenaries. This mix has inspired an orkoid culture markedly distinct from most others.

Ur-Kog’s madness takes the form of wild mood---swings that can see him go from cruelly ruthless, to jovial even by human standards. The Kaptin’s greatest strength is his ability to inspire loyalty in his krew. He is fond of grand displays of prowess, as well as trying out new “toys” and weapons, and so will reward heavily any boy who distinguishes himself. Ur-Kog claims he has an “eye fer anytin’ orky”, which influences his looting decisions. He has stolen and refitted Imperial walkers, xenos tanks, and even broken deadly creatures like Tyranid bioforms. Many Ogryn mercenaries can be found in his crew, whom Flashmaw seems to like for their brute strength and loyalty. Though happy to get in a good scrap, Ur-Kog’s intense greed influences his decisions more than bloodthirst.

Even before the dawn of technology on Kruzbal, the tribals of the desert wastes were just a step away from becoming full-blown Speed Freekz, with squig-breeding and boar-rearing being major vocations. Nearly all the krew of the Black Grog are members of the Kult of Speed, devoting many hours to tinkering on their kustom bikes and buggies. Many “Old Way” superstitions can still be found amongst the greenskin mechanics, along with nautical traditions from the oceanic tribes, and so Deff-Flash vehicles tend to be outfitted with many trinkets and skulls, designed to make each bike and trakk appear like a living, mechanical beast. This extends to spacecraft and aircraft, as well. Due to the high proportion of grots to be found in the WAAAGH, Meks have an easy time scrounging extra scrap and making repairs, as the tiny greenskins are excellent at crawling into small places – though sometimes a cooked gretchin has to be pulled out of an engine afterwards.

Ur-Kog himself is in possession of two personal bikes, a speed-buggy, a fighta, and a massive command trukk. Though not taken to the field as often, the Black Grog is also home to an arena in which the Kaptin likes to showcase his many other “kollecturz bitz”, including Tyranid beasts, experimental walkers and deff-dreads, Mega-Gladiators, savage muto-wolves, boars, and squiggoths. Even clever orks have trouble determining what Ur-Kog considers “orky”, but the Madkap is very clear that he only collects the orkiest monsters around.

Central to the kultur of the Deff-Flash Raidaz is kwiksilva. Initially a treasure found only on Kruzbal, the clever Meks of Flashmaw’s WAAAGH! have since found ways by greenskin alchemy to refine the substance out of certain high-quality metals, in a process not even fully understood by said Mekboys. Any boy in the mob experienced enough to have bought their first bike likely also has at least one small trinket of kwiksilva on their person. More powerful orkz will have armor, weapons, and even vehicles covered in the alloy, prized for its durability and rust-proof, lucky shine. Nobs may sometimes wear injector-rigs, courtesy of the Painboys, which will fill their veins with liquid metal in the heat of battle. Other boys may inhale the substance as an aerosol spray, dulling their already minute pain-sense and inspiring them to acts of suicidal bravery.

Notable Members

Kaptin Gorn Blast’ead — “Ya fink dere’s nuffin’ left ta take from me? Wrong! Ya just took me patience! And I ain’t got no patience!” — A veteran Freeboota who prowled the inner systems for many a century before a freak post-looting Warp accident waylaid him and his on the dusty world of Kruzbal. A highly ruthless and intelligent ork, Gorn quickly found promise in the savage orks of the planet, using their madness to his advantage as he toppled the raider warbosses one-by-one. Gorn’s preference for encouraging reckless behavior in his warriors would in turn lead to Ur-Kog taking charge, and madness becoming the rule of the day in the Deff-Flash krew.

Madkap Ur-Kog Flashmaw — “I’z so flash ye could melt a humie’s face wif me smile!” — The current Kaptin of the Deff-Flash Raidaz, known as the Madkap Flashmaw. Ur-Kog is renowned across the Five Segmentae as a notorious looter, bloody reaver, and lunatic as far as orks are concerned. Ur-Kog plies the spaceways in his eternal quest to assemble the “orkiest WAAAGH!” around, collecting outcasts and oddballs from across orkdom, hoarding technology, and building a menagerie of the meanest xenos beasts alive. Flashmaw is roundly hated by anyone not a part of his own loyal krew, with many orks finding him weirder than can be tolerated. Still, Ur-Kog has since fallen under the banner of WAAAGH! Ghazghkull, impressed by the power of the Goff Warboss, and happy to take part in a level of carnage the orks haven’t seen in millennia.

Wazzmek — “It’z got flash! It’z got speed! It’z da Morkiest machine you’z eva seen!” — Known only by his title, Wazzmek is the head mekboy of the Raidaz. Touted as one of the best meks in the galaxy, Wazzmek is usually left to his own devices when not working on the Kaptin’s own rides. The Mek is viewed by most with a hefty mix of respect, awe, and fear, as he’s been given free reign by the Madkap to do whatever he pleases in the name of whipping up new and deadly gadgets. Wazzmek is a sight to behold thanks to his many kwiksilva bioniks, which can make him look more like a humie space marine or xenos construct than an average Mek, thanks to the lucky, stainless shine.

Grendus Rendus — "GRENDUUUS!!!” — Ur-Kog’s closest bodyguard, an Ogryn taken from an abandoned prison world in the Segmentum Ultima. Grendus is a scarred old beast, larger than the average ogryn, heavily enhanced with cybernetics, and with a distinct orkiness about him, having sallow skin, big teeth, and a dull fire in his eyes that even Nobs fear. To survive as the personal guard to an ork warboss is no easy task for a mere abhuman, and Grendus is renowned for his foul temper and sheer refusal to die.

Meek da Lukky — “I’z got meself some scrap! Eh? Eh? Happy, Boss?” — Personal gretchin servant to Ur-Kog, and occasionally Wazzmek, though the grot is loath to do anything that puts him in harm’s way more than usual. Meek has served the Kaptin since his pillaging of Greater Octarius, and is noted for the unusual amounts of luck he seems to have, avoiding death and misfortune where many hundreds of grots would have died. Though he hasn’t gotten away completely unscathed, Meek’s done his best to keep the streak going, including bathing himself in lucky blue warpaint.

Organization

The Deff-Flash Raidaz are led by Kaptin Ur-Kog Flashmaw, whose word is final, leading by virtue of his might, cleverness, and massive horde of gubbinz. Immediately beneath him are the veteran oddboys, such as the Chief Mek and his crew, the senior Painboys, Weirdboys, Runtherds, and more. Also included among the Kaptin’s “Best Mates” are his Nobz and bodyguards.

The main mob of the WAAAGH! consist of the many boys and lesser oddboyz of the krew. Generally the first thing on any new boy’s mind is the purchasing of his first bike, which will ensure he has a chance at glory on most any mission. Most of the Black Grog’s krew have an obsession with tinkering, and if not making modifications to their ostentatious and savage vehicles, they’ll be decking themselves and their weapons in fearsome charms meant to help during boarding actions. This culture of eye-catching style seems to make each warrior more reckless, as they feel if they’re going to die, at least they’ll look “flash” doing it.

Distinct amongst ork mobs is the odd makeup of Flashmaw’s krew. Though not the most numerous WAAAGH, the boys are generally quite hearty and wealthy – this is thanks to the disproportionate number of grots the greenskins have found themselves in possession of. Gretchin take care of most minor repairs, menial labor, and food sourcing (sometimes in a direct sense), leaving the Mekz with plenty of assistants and the boys with more free time to spar and tinker. The grot population boom has gotten to the point where it can sometimes be hard to account for all the little buggers, and many areas of the space hulk are even home to pockets of grot “tribes”. Flashmaw nonetheless views this as ideal, as he is also fond of recruiting many oddboys, from Mekz to Madboyz, surrounding himself with greenskins as insane as he is. This has lead to an elite crew that are nonetheless extremely eccentric. In addition to the many beasts and artifacts the Kaptin has collected, Ur-Kog also makes use of Ogryn mercenaries spirited away from lost Imperial prison worlds, who are often rubbed down with green paint, cybernetically enhanced, and used as bodyguards and enforcers more loyal to the Kaptin than even his own Nobs.

Of course, the Deff-Flash Raidaz are diehard devotees of the Kult of Speed, and so any battle plan that can get away with it more often than not includes hordes of bikes, trukks, trakks, tanks, buggies, and jets. Ur-Kog is a flyboy himself, though his need to lead from the front usually sees him taking to a bike or trukk at the head of his mob. Though Ur-Kog prides himself on having at least two of every gubbin, from grot-artillery, to heavy walkers, to Kommando electro-stabbaz, the vast majority of his battle plans prefer a massive armored cavalry charge, with plenty of screaming air-support.

Appearance

Of all the insults and ire laid on Kaptin Flashmaw, his favorites include being called “the most garish being in the galaxy” by an Eldar commander, and making a Blood Axe Warboss’ eyes water. Red features heavily on all Deff-Flash clothes and vehicles, due to the krew’s obsession with speed, and its ability to blend in with the rust so common on “flash-poor” vehicles. In addition to this, black tribal markings, and trinkets made from gold and kwiksilva are used for in abundance. Boys of all stripes will often coat themselves in white and black body paint – a holdover from tribal practices meant to protect against the searing sun of Krusbal, and a signifier of strength. On top of all these colors and baubles, boys will sometimes decorate their vehicles with personal colors and symbols, and all the krew are fond of such decoration, using bones and precious metals to make both themselves and their mounts look as savage and piratical as possible. The resulting mix is an eclectic and indeed eye-watering palette of colors and designs, with bright treasure gleaming against filth and rust, and warriors at once dressed in the tattered remains of the finest clothes they could loot, on top of dusty and oily tribal paint.

Notable Battles

Ransack of Greater Octarius — After refitting what remained of the Black Grog, the newly proclaimed Madkap rallies his first ever spaceborne WAAAGH! to see the galaxy. Not far from the Phalton system lies the Ork Empire of Octarius, where greenskins by the billions waged constant war against numerous threats that had the generosity to assault them on all sides, from within and without. Knowing no allegiance, and itching for adventure, Ur-Kog’s Deff-Flash Raidaz hop from planet to planet at random, fighting anything they encounter, and looting the spoils down to the last rusty nail. It is here that Kaptin Flashmaw’s madness first becomes fully manifest, and his obsession with collecting strange trophies and defining the elite and flamboyant nature of his krew solidifies. By the end of the first WAAAGH! Ur-Kog, the Deff-Flash krew is brimming with oddboys the Madkap took pains to press-gang, in preparation for his next great exploit.

Da Inkredible WAAAGH! — With enough resources to fully realize his wild dreams, Ur-Kog takes to the greater galaxy, moving in an unflagging loop around all five Segmentae. The Madkap’s krew has become much different in makeup that when it started. Where previously there were droves of savage orks lead by insane Nobs, getting by on unpredictability, numbers, and a few unique perks, now there was a full-blown WAAAGH! brimming with vehicles, specialists to maintain the arsenal, mercenaries, and a shocking boom of laborer-grots. The Deff-Flash Raidaz become established as a major force of the Freeboota and Speed Freek ork kulturs, with Ur-Kog’s name being spoken of with bemused respect or bitter irritation by warbosses and other commanders around the galaxy. Ur-Kog makes a habit of indulging in great debauchery, and when not in an active warzone, the krew entertains itself with exotic arena fights, copious amount of grog and chems (including kwiksilva), tinkering on their beloved vehicles, and searching for new opportunities to loot and pillage. Still, Ur-Kog remains restless, in some small way resenting the lack of respect paid by other overlords and bosses, despite his immensely orky WAAAGH! and great trove of loot.

Throwing in Da Kap — Word reaches the Madkap’s ears of a new power rising, with one notable name only being spoken of more and more across the galaxy — Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. While ever a wildcard at heart, the Kaptin decides that the best new opportunities for loot, recruitment, and carnage lie under the banner of one powerful Goff warboss. Gathering up as many preliminary resources as he can, Ur-Kog seeks out the warlord’s WAAAGH! back in the Octarius system. Ghazghkull accepts the Madkap’s allegiance, though is predictably happy to be rid of the Freeboota once it comes time for the greater WAAAGH! to sally forth. In truth, Ur-Kog cares little for the Goff’s dismissive attitude, as he knows the straightforward nature of such a traditional warboss will make for a disciplined central WAAAGH! — allowing the good Kaptin to continue on with his chaotic pillaging as he wishes, knowing there will always be a great horde to retreat into if ever his victims seek to retaliate. The Deff-Flash Raidaz continue their wild ride, with opportunity fresh in their hungry eyes.

Anyone saying Cardi was in the right for trying to attack Nicki just to get her own ass beat is an idiot. Where’s the PROOF that Nicki was talking about Kulture??? If you don’t have it, just say you’re biased and hate Nicki and go. It’s not that hard just like Cardi’s knot on her head

Traces of the Workshop Media & Socialities. Urban walk, media practices, reflections

(Deutsche Version weiter unten)

We have made a digital documentation of the workshop Media & Socialities, a reflection on urban and media practices. We’ve put togethers all traces, photographs, audio and other works that has been created during the workshops and some context of the workshop on a digital map and published it at https://workshop.citydataexplosion.de/

The workshop Media and Socialities was a part of the 2017 series city/data/explosion on city, the public realm and digitization and part of the exchange between people active in the fields of art, culture, social and civil social engagement from Budapest and Bremen, initiated by kunst- und kulturverein spedition.

The starting point for the workshop work were the artistic and media practices of the participants and the question how digital and analog communication channels can be created for the production of the public, but also for exchange and networking beyond one's own frame of reference. Due to the multinational and interdisciplinary composition, an intensive and enriching working process and an exchange between the participants took place during the three days.

The documentation consists of a digital, multilayered map that connects the different traces that have been collected, their artistic processing and the references that came up during the process. The map collects pictures, drawings, gps-and other digital data, audio and videos. It has three main areas: The walk, the presentation and the context.

Thanks to all contributors!

Wir haben eine digitale Dokumentation des Workshops Media & Socialities unter der Adresse https://workshop.citydataexplosion.de/ veröffentlicht, eine Reflektion über situative und mediale Praxen.

Der Workshop Media and Socialties fand in der Reihe city/data/explosion im Herbst 2017 statt und ist Bestandteil eines längerfristigen Austausch zwischen Budapest und Bremen, der vom kunst- und kulturverein spedition vor zwei Jahren initiiert wurde. Die dreitägige Workshop brachte Leute aus Budapest, Berlin, Hamburg und Bremen zusammen, die in den Bereichen Kunst, Kultur und Medien aktiv sind.

Ausgangspunkt der gemeinsamen Workshop-Arbeit waren die künstlerischen und medialen Praxen der Teilnehmenden und die Frage, wie digitale und analoge Kommunikationswege für die Herstellung von Öffentlichkeit, aber auch zum Austausch und zur Vernetzung über den eigenen Bezugsrahmen hinaus geschaffen werden können. Durch die multinationale und interdisziplinäre Zusammensetzung entstand in den drei Tagen ein intensiver wie bereichernder Arbeitsprozess und ein Austausch zwischen den Teilnehmenden.

Diese Dokumentation besteht aus einer digitalen, mehrschichtigen Karte, mit der die verschiedenen Spuren, ihre künstlerischen Aufbereitungen und die dafür herangezogenen Referenzen zugänglich gemacht werden. Die Karte besteht aus Bildern, Zeichnungen, GPS-Daten, Texten, Tönen und Videos. Die Sprache der Dokumentation ist englisch.

Danke an alle Beteiligten!

Joker Out frontman revealed what his fans gave him, one gift is special to him: "I always carry it with me in my bag."

"I even have it with me now because it really touched me", said the singer of the band, Bojan Cvjetićanin.

Written by: Marija Pavić

From Poland to the Czech Republic then again to Croatia comes Joker Out as part of their tour this year. Although they have performed in Croatia five times this year (in Umag, Varaždin and three times in Zagreb), the Slovenian band will have their last gig in Croatia this year in Rijeka on November 24th in Pogon Kulture.

From Eurovision their fanbase has grown, and with that comes even more concerts, more traveling, and more gifts. Toys, sunglasses, bracelets with lettering, and bras are just some of the things that fly to the stage to the boys from Joker Out. And while fangirls are fighting for attention from one of the members, one succeeded.

"They throw letters for us on stage. Those are always lovely to read and they really write some things that have power and great impact, on me especially. In my bag I have one letter that I carry with me now because it really touched me", the frontman of the band, Bojan Cvjetićanin, told In Magazin.

Joker Out is experiencing what they once dreamed of when they were created. Gigs are held all across Europe so Bojan said that they learned what it means to not sleep, wake up at three in the morning to catch a train or flight, but also that they still have a lot more to learn.

For the single "Carpe Diem", they recieved a gold record in Finland, and Käärijä, the Finnish representative at Eurovision, joined them at their concerts. "At the beginning, he was supposed to join us only in Helsinki, but he offered to go with us on our trip around Finland and we had a great time, and he was a part of the band during those three days," explained Cvjetićanin.

The band is planning to move to London for a while, where they will work on new songs. They are planning a new album next year, in three languages. "We are going there to collect inspiration, we want to change our enviroment a bit, throw away our phones, have some space, some new chaos as well as new peace, so we will create new music and in the end record new music," said the singer of the band Joker Out.

Mia Paller and Monika Plemen: Traceaction 7 – 24 September 2021 Exhibition curator: Mojca Grmek The exhibition entitled Traceaction is the fruit of collaboration between two galleries, the International Centre of Graphic Arts in Ljubljana (MGLC) and Hiša kulture in Pivka (HKP). The two galleries have a similar relationship to classical printmaking production; they both have a print studio on their premises where they organise various activities and present their results to the public in the form of exhibitions. On this occasion, they pooled their production capacities and launched a joint project. Each of them invited an artist of the younger generation to participate: Mia Paller and Monika Plemen, who conceived the print portfolio together. The title Traceaction refers first of all to the common starting point that the two artists set when conceiving the portfolio, namely the concept of the trace. A trace as proof that something existed or that something happened, a trace as a track, as the result of the ravages of time, as a direct imprint, a trace as part of the process of creating a graphic print. The print portfolio thus plays with the concept of the trace in different meanings of the word, while at the same time the artists also materialise their own idea of the trace in it. The first part of the title is complemented by the concept of action. Here too there are two aspects. On the one hand, the personal action of the two artists, and on the other, the joint work. Due to circumstances, the artists worked together remotely, and a key moment of the action was sending the matrices by post. In this way, they produced two joint printing plates. The portfolio contains a total of eight graphic prints produced in six printmaking techniques (silkscreen, woodcut, lithography, drypoint, aquatint and vernis mou). The exhibition presents the entire portfolio and some aspects of the creation process. ──────────── Mia Paller (1995) graduated in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana and obtained a master's degree in Media Design: Lens-based Media Design from the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She works in the media of painting, animation and photography. She has presented her work in several solo exhibitions, including at Hiša kulture in Pivka (2019), Leyerjeva hiša in Kranj (2019) and Kresija Gallery in Ljubljana (2021), as well as in numerous group presentations. Her short animated films and video production work has been featured in festivals in Slovenia and abroad. She currently lives and works in Rotterdam. Monika Plemen (1994) graduated in Art Pedagogy and is currently pursuing a postgraduate course of study specialising in Printmaking at the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts and Design. Her professional engagements include the graphic arts symposium in Iasi, Romania, study exchange in Halle, Germany, and art residency in Stoeðvarfjoerður, Iceland. She has taken part in several group exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad and has held solo shows at Ravne Gallery (2020), MIKK Murska Sobota (2020) and artKIT Kibla in Maribor (2021). She lives and works in Mežica and Ljubljana.

ubs insurance company’s car insurance coverage must meet. It also applies to life insurance, but no rules to buy the insurance it provides. What makes it a valuable type of insurance? Unlike personal insurance policies, you must buy this type from a third-party insurer. An SR-22 would ensure that your car insurance policy is legally binding, meaning it is up to you and the insurer to verify that it meets the state minimum requirements of coverage. For personal insurance policies, if there is a gap in coverage as a result of a covered act, the policyholder’s liability coverage could be canceled for any reason, resulting in an expensive loss of property insurance. A SR-22 would ensure that liability coverage is met. If you do not buy from a third party insurer, you would still have to purchase an insurance policy — or a different one. This would be expensive to cover, and if you choose to buy from an independent insurance agent, this means you’ll find more options to. ubs insurance, you may need to take out a separate commercial auto or commercial auto insurance policy as well, particularly for commercial autos. You’ll most likely be required to file an SR-22 if you’re at fault for an accident while driving uninsured or for any other traffic violations that could negatively impact your car insurance rates. With a commercial auto insurance policy, you’re covering your own car, you will’re required to stay at-fault, so your coverage remains the same. The SR-22, also known as financial responsibility filing, is filed by your car insurance company in order to provide proof that you have enough of a liability insurance policy. Most insurance companies will file an SR-22 if someone is injured by you and their insurance pays for their medical fees. Some policies will simply lapse as per the car insurance policy provisions of the insurance policy, while others can lapse for any reason. The SR-22 is usually required for a period of 6 or 12 months. ubs insurance and has no license to solicit business. Not available in all states.

Helvetia Invests in Spanish Insurance Startup Kultur. They are an affiliate in some cases, but they have a history for partnering with clients. When you purchase a car insurance cover for your car, you will only be held responsible for paying the policy to the dealership. And the car is not covered by your policy itself (as you are not driving it). This covers car damage, uninsured motorists, injuries and accidents. However it does not cover damages caused to you by an uninsured vehicle, and not by someone riding in with you. In my car insurance policy, I am responsible for what is considered a personal auto insurance cost, which excludes vehicles that are underutilized. I do not know where the car will be taken when sold, though there is a limit placed on the amount you charge for vehicle use. I feel that this will be the most expensive car I own. The company I choose does not even take on this high cost of a car. In fact, it is not even offering collision coverage on their website..

– Sametinget har ikke gitt sin tilslutning til dette vedtaket, og jeg ser det som et av de alvorligste angrepene på samisk kultur og næringsutøvelse siden vedtaket om utbygging av Altavassdraget, sier sametingspresident Aili Keskitalo (NSR) i en pressemelding.

Kongen i statsråd godkjente fredag driftskonsesjonen til Nussir ASA for gruvedrift i Nussir og Gumppenjunni i Repparfjord.

Driftskonsesjonen ble klaget inn av blant annet Sametinget da beskjeden kom 14. februar i år. Vedtaket om å gi driftskonsesjon til Nussir ASA er fattet av hele regjeringen.

Naturvernerne er bekymret for gruveslammet som skal dumpes i den nasjonale laksefjorden Repparfjorden.

– Dette er et av de mest miljøfiendtlige industriprosjektene i norgeshistorien, sier Naturvernforbundets leder Silje Ask Lundberg. -

Once upon a time the government conducted an experiment on all the Poor people in the ghetto They deprived them of opportunities education finances But allowed drugs and weapons in the community As they poisoned their water Filled the air with toxins from nearby chemical plants They wandered what would wipe them out firstWould it be disease would it be distress Would it be the drugs or would it be themselves (The greatest trick the empire has ever performed is convincing poor People that there is no plan to destroy them) You don't wanna know won't believe the proof Infected are collective pillows on the facts sleeping on the truth Rejected or accepted easier for you Karen Wilson out here squeezing on the youth Thinking he a thug reason I'ma shoot When you drew his blood that's illegal too Things that people do gloves in a sub we going to see it through Ride in the block old school whipping Young niggas killing old dudes tripping Cops tap your phones sting ray antenna Those folks listen don't choose prison And I gotta love it everybody's sheep Santa with the gifts bring 'em while you sleep End 'em with this shit hammer with the clips Masterly resist act by the streets

Ang pinapangarap ng mga batang katutubo: Libro, hindi bala! Edukasyon, hindi giyera! Ngayong pandaigdigang araw ng paggunita sa karapatan ng kabataan, nararapat lang na patuloy na ipanawagan ang pagpapaigting sa mga karapatang pantaong dapat tinatamasa ng mga bata. Ang pambansang minorya, isa sa mga pinakamarhinalisadong grupo sa bansa, ay patunay ng masidhing karahasan at kahirapan sa bansa, sa kabila ng nag-uumapaw na mga likas na yaman. Bagaman isinabatas ang Indigenous People's Right Act (IPRA) of 1997, at kahit kasama ang Pilipinas sa United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples (UNDRIP), patuloy pa rin ang pagsasamantala sa kanila, kasama ang kakulangan sa mga batayang serbisyong-panlipunan, katulad ng mga karapatan sa maayos na kalusugan at edukasyon. Ayon sa Minority Rights Group, karamihan sa mga hindi nag-aaral na kabataan ang mga katutubo. Pahirapan ang pag-abot ng edukasyon para sa mga katutubo, dahil kinakailangan nilang bagtasin ang kilo-kilometrong mga ilog, at mapanganib na mga bundok. Bukod dito, nakakatanggap pa sila ng diskriminasyon sa sistema ng edukasyon na hindi naka-akma sa kanilang mga kultural na pangangailangan bilang mga katutubo. Sa kabutihang palad, nariyan ang mga organisasyon katulad ng Alcadev at Save Our Schools Network na nagtutulungan sa pagbibigay-daan sa alternatibong sistema ng edukasyon na nagsusulong ng makabayan, siyentipiko, at makamasang tipo ng pag-aaral. Gayunpaman, patuloy na napapasubo ang kabatang mag-aaral dahil sa mga atake ng mga militar at paramilitar na grupong nanghihimasok sa mga komunidad ng Lumad. Talamak ang pangreredtag, ang pagparatang sa mga kabataang kasapi o may kinalaman sa NPA, na nagdudulot ng pagkawala at pagkamatay ng marami sa mga katutubo, at nagdudulot ng trauma o pagkatakot sa mamamayan. Nariyan din ang pambobomba, pananakot at panghaharas, paninira ng mga paaralang-Lumad, at paggamit ng mga pasilidad ng kanilang mga paaralan para sa pangmilitar na mga operasyon . Mayroon ding pagbabantang isasara ang kanilang mga paaralan. Sa kabila ng lahat nito, hindi dapat magpadaig, at patuloy na nangangarap at aktibong kumikilos ang kabataang-Pilipino para sa mas makatarungan at mapayapang lipunan. -- As we celebrate international children's day to recognize the rights of children, it is just right to continue the call for the strengthening of human rights that the Filipino children deserve. The national minorities, one of the most marginalized group in the country, is proof of the worsening violence and poverty in the Philippines, in spite of the fact that we have overflowing natural resources. Although we have the Indigenous People's Right Act (IPRA) of 1997 and although we are part of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples (UNDRIP), the exploitation and killings continue, along with the lack of basic social services such as rights for proper health and education. According to the Minority Rights Group, most of the out-of-school children belong to the indigenous people. It is extremely hard to finish education as an IP, as they have to endure crossing kilometers of rivers and dangerous mountains. Aside from this, they often receive discrimination in an educational system not tailored to their cultural needs and sensitivities. Fortunately, there are organizations like Alcadev and Save Our Schools Network that help each other to make way for an alternative education that strives for a national, scientific and mass-oriented education. However, the students continue to suffer because of the continuing attacks of military and paramilitary groups that forcibly enters their communities. Red-tagging and the accusation of Lumad children as members of the NPA causes enforced disappearances and killings of IPs, also causing trauma and fear among the communities. There are also aerial bombings, intimidation and harassment, destruction of school facilities, and use of school facilities for military operations. There is also a threat of closure for their schools. Despite all these, the Filipino children must remain firm, and continue to dream and actively partake in the fight for a more just and peaceful society.

Cardi B Covers W Magazine’s Art Issue

Posted on October 10, 2018

W magazine unveiled its annual art issue, featuring Cardi B on the cover, photographed by artist Mickalene Thomas and Styled by Kollin Carter.

For her W cover shoot, Cardi B was photographed by the artist Mickalene Thomas, channeling Latina glamour queens of a bygone Hollywood era such as Maria Montez, Chelo Alonso, and Rita Moreno. Like Cardi, said Thomas, “They were all powerful women who claimed a space for themselves, in an industry that wasn’t exactly inclusionary.” In photographs, collage-based paintings, and domestic interiors, Thomas has drawn on art history and popular culture to explore black female sexuality and power. She wanted to reveal Cardi in an unexpected way. “On many levels, she portrays herself through a male gaze,” said Thomas “I wanted to see if she could transform herself and go beyond the prescribed notion that’s expected within an industry that wants to only perceive and present you as one dimensional.”

On Nicki Minaj: “For a while now she’s been taking a lot of shots at me,” she said of Minaj. “I spoke to her twice before, and we came to an understanding. But she kept it going.” Her breaking point came when she saw that Minaj had liked, and then unliked, a tweet disparaging Cardi’s mothering skills, something Minaj has denied. “I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour, and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter,” Cardi went on. “I love my daughter. I’m a good-ass fucking mom. So for somebody that don’t have a child to like that comment? So many people want to say that party wasn’t the time or the place, but I’m not going to catch another artist in the grocery store or down the block.”

On marriage: “When I got married with my dude, we still had a lot of doubts, because our relationship is not like everybody’s,” she said. “He was always traveling, and I was always traveling. We’re artists. So I used to see him, like, twice a week, and, you know, he’s known for having different women, and I’m known for, like, not taking shit from guys. But we really loved each other, and we was scared to lose each other.” As she tells it, they had talked about marriage, and one day, in the middle of an argument, she suggested they go ahead and do it. “And he’s like, ‘You’re playing around.’ And I said, ‘I’m for real.’ ” So they got the license and had a secret ceremony in Offset’s bedroom, dressed in sweatsuits.

“Every single day there’s rumors about me and my dude. And it almost drives me crazy, because I start to believe them. I don’t have no proof. I don’t have receipts. But I just got to know my man. We practically on the phone 24 hours a day. If I can’t find him, I’m going to find his friend. Somebody going to answer the phone. But I cannot be feeling insecure, to a point that I would drive my dude away, because these people want that to happen.”

On pregnancy and motherhood: “When I got pregnant, I was fucking freaking out. Everybody around me was like, ‘No, this never happened before. Every artist that had a baby, they already put in years in the game. This is your first year. You’re going to mess it up. How are you going to make it?’ While I was pregnant, I kept telling myself, I can’t wait till I’m back out there. I’m going to look hot, and I’m going to be that bitch.”

“Four weeks after giving birth, I was supposed to start rehearsals for a fall tour with Bruno Mars and I couldn’t even squat down. People don’t really talk about what you go through after pregnancy. . .When Kulture was born, I felt like I was a kid again; everything was making me cry, and I needed a lot of love. I feel better now, but sometimes I just feel so vulnerable, like I’m not ready for the world yet.”

On whether she feared losing street cred once she became a mother: “You don’t lose street cred, but people want an illusion that female artists are available. They fantasize less when they know they actually somebody’s wife. And then imagine having a baby.”

On social media and receiving advice from Kris Jenner: Though Cardi is naturally shy and prefers the familiarity of old friends and family members, she accepted Jenner’s invitation to come over one night in August. “I said I’d go there for an hour,” she recalled. She stayed for seven, finding it easy to talk to Jenner, her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, and Kim and Kanye West. “Kris told me, ‘People are going to talk badly about you, but it doesn’t really matter as long as you’re making money,’ ” Cardi recounted. “And it’s true. If you read the online comments, it seems like everybody hates the Kardashians. Each and every one of them. But how can that be true if everything they sell sells out?”
