Systematic

Tell me that

You’ve never seen a system with a crack

That however improbable

And however small

Someone fell down

And wasn’t welcomed back up.

Because only so many times

Can the nail be hammered

Before the wood begins to warp

And only so long

Can the earthquake go on

Before the ground begins to fail.

System failure, system failure

Throw the dying ones a rope

But cut off their hands before you do

Or this systematic failure could be fixed.

Tell me how you’ve never seen

Someone fall and fall and fall

Down a hole so deep

It swallowed them up

Never to be noticed again.

Letters on a paper

Ruining lives

Laws for people

Who have never been seen.

System failure, system failure

The hammer keeps on hitting

So cut off their hands

And keep shaking their world

So the systematic failure can thrive.

‘Fighting for their release keeps me strong’: Ex-Ukrainian POW on mission to reveal horrors of Russian captivity - Geneva Solutions

As thousands of Ukrainian fighters and civilians remain in Russian custody, one former prisoner of war who endured torture is determined to expose the harsh conditions they face. He was in Geneva to tell his story, where UN experts have also been working to locate those who are missing. Oleksii Anulia has the body build one would expect from a kickboxing champion. It was hard to believe that the tall person standing in the hallways of the Palais des Nations in Geneva, a year and a half ago, was a frail body with protruding ribs, as seen in the picture he held up in his smartphone. The 31-year-old from the Chernihiv region was among the many Ukrainians who joined the military in February 2022 to resist the Russian invasion. He was also among the unlucky ones to be captured by the enemy forces, being a prisoner of war from 9 March 2022 until a swap of 140 Ukrainian POWs on New Year’s Eve of the same year. During his 10 months of captivity, Anulia was starved, beaten and tortured to the point of resulting in 36 hospitalisations since his release, he said. Despite that, Anulia told Geneva Solutions that “he has no time to feel depressed”. “Fighting for the release of those who are still captive keeps me strong,” he said. That’s what brought him to Geneva earlier this month for the United Nations Human Rights Council’s summer session at the invitation of the Oslo-based Human Rights Research League. In front of a room packed mostly with western diplomats, Anulia described in detail his ordeal, how he was captured in Lukashivka, a small town a few kilometres south of Chernihiv city, while his father was burned alive in a local church nearby. He was then driven to a place near Belarus in a truck carrying potatoes, ammunition and Russian corpses, where a Russian soldier who recognised him from his kickboxing days saved him from being raped. He recounted being moved through six different detention centres, including a notorious correctional colony in Donskoy town, in the Russian Tula province, south of Moscow. There, he endured horrid conditions, subsisting on nothing but two spoons of porridge at times, drinking his own urine and toilet water, and being electrocuted.

‘Widespread and systematic’ Though harrowing, Anulia’s story is not unique. The Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, set up by the Human Rights Council in 2022 to investigate violations during the war, released a report in March detailing the “horrific treatment” and torture of POWs in at least 11 detention centres across Russia and Russian-controlled areas in Ukraine. The document described the practices as “widespread and systematic”, potentially amounting to war crimes.

I love local live music shows so much. There's something so beautiful about sharing the night with 50 or so other people, hearing music only a few thousand (at most) others will ever hear, and having an experience that will never be captured digitally in any meaningful way. Big concerts are great and if it's an artist of band that you love then it's absolutely worth it, but watching some 21 year old film student ascend to the astral plain in a parking lot is free and just as fun.

From 1948 through the 1990s, a single word dominated life in South Africa: Apartheid. Apartheid -Afrikaans for "apartness" or "separation" -kept the country's majority black population under the thumb of a small white minority. The segregation began in 1948 after the National Party came to power. The party instituted policies of white supremacy, which empowered white South Africans, descendants of Dutch and British settlers, while further disenfranchising black indigenous Africans.

What Are Systematic Self Improvement Techniques?

Personal development is more than a journey; it’s an adventure filled with opportunity. By employing systematic self-improvement techniques on our journey towards personal transformation, we don’t merely drift along the tides of change; instead, we sail with a clear compass and focus on navigating life’s hurdles effectively and purposefully. Imagine harnessing powerful methods that transform…

Survivors say Russia is waging a war of sexual violence in occupied areas of Ukraine. Men are often the victims | CNN

Mykytenko said that while most cases of conflict-related sexual crimes that were reported and investigated earlier in the war concerned female victims, many of the cases recently recorded have been against male victims, especially against men held in captivity. “Sexual crimes are fairly common in detention centers and it’s very common for prisoners of war or civilians to be threatened with rape or with the sexual abuse of different types, this is something that’s almost normal for the Russian and Russia-related armed forces,” she said.

The Ukrainian ombudsman’s office told CNN it believes that the Russian armed forces and Ministry of Defense, as well as the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service, are the Russian government bodies officially responsible for what happens inside detention facilities. However, it is Rosgvardia – a paramilitary police force deployed to keep order in occupied regions of Ukraine – and the FSB that appear to be driving the campaign of torture and sexual violence against the Ukrainian people, according to the ombudsman and Ukraine’s military intelligence service. Since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, the FSB has opened several regional offices in occupied Ukraine to recruit agents and gather intelligence. According to an official organizational chart published on its website, the FSB has directorates in the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, in Crimea and in the occupied portions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. Several survivors in these locations told CNN that the Russians who submitted them to sexual violence either identified themselves or were referred to by others as FSB officers. Meanwhile, members of Rosgvardia, part of the Russian security apparatus that reports directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin, are working alongside the Russian military to detain activists, quash protests and spread terror among the civilian population in occupied areas. The SBU and the Ukrainian regional prosecutor’s office in Kherson have identified Aleksandr Naumenko, the deputy head of Rosgvardia in Russia’s Rostov region, as a suspect in more than a dozen cases. Ukrainian authorities said last May he was responsible for overseeing a detention facility in Kherson during the occupation and that he personally ordered sexual torture of several victims who were electrocuted in their genital areas. The notice of suspicion against Naumenko, a legal document seen by CNN, alleges that his subordinates and other members of Russian armed forces acted directly on his orders when they sexually abused at least 17 victims. Two other Rosgvardia officers – Oleksandr Chilengirov and Yehor Bondarenkov – have also been accused of torture, including electrocuting at least 24 victims in their genitals at a different detention facility in Kherson. Dmitry Laikov, an officer with the FSB’s Department for the Defense of Constitutional Order and Fight against Terrorism, is accused of overseeing genital electrocution of a detained Ukrainian citizen in a police station in the occupied city of Nova Kakhovka.

Allocate work from target️🎯💯

To plan for goals, we must first have systematic thinking. You should ask how to achieve your goal, not just a bunch of empty theories about this person, that person, the big reason, etc. It's simply what you want. It's legal, so why can't it be? Every small step will create the picture of your life. It's funny, you forget about your painting because of the small obstacles of small goals to create the painting.

All the same, looking systematically at the disruptions of social development described in this chapter is rather illuminating. Table 4.1 summarizes what strike me as their most important features.
