is hardly enough to bring the reproduction of wild boar under sustainable control. The lock-downs and regulations are probably causing many hunters to lose interest in the hobby which entail clearly also responsibility ...

​Now the Democrats-in-Chief are going berserk. 

Keep people fat, keep them happy, keep them diverted and keep them entertained with dribble, shock and nonsense; because trustworthy journalism is no longer the priority, - creating confusion and news fatigue is….
For years I watched the German press agency, DPA, scamming one of my photos.It was the only photo they ever received and this just because a colleague who returned to Germany had sent the DPA the negatives by mistake.
A few weeks later, colleagues told me that this photo had been published in "Der Spiegel". At that time I did not know that the negatives had ended up with the DPA. They had not informed me or my colleagues about it, but simply uploaded the photo to their server.
I had called the agency at that time and informed them of their illegal use of the photo. Nothing had happened. They just continued to market the photograph at will.

For the protection of rights, in legal disputes the association FREELENS is a good choice for photographers. It is the professional association of photographers and is helpful with tips and hints. 
I think it would be useful if colleagues who have had similar experiences with the DPA would contact me to create a clearer legal basis that prohibits agencies such as this one from using alleged "partners" from the outset. This is the only way to at least limit this increasing monopolisation. 

No lockdown, no masks - fewer deaths than in previous major flu waves. And here in France, policemen lurk behind every corner of every house armed to the teeth, they are standing like Robo-Cops in front of streetcars and buses and pant like Rottweilers to oder people to pay fines if they don't wear masks...
Then, you know the vodka-drinkers and chain-smoking White Russians must have a "herd immunity". For six weeks now, major rallies have been held every weekend in Minsk and other Belarusian cities. Despite brutal police operations, the tens of thousands of protesters did not back down from their demands: Head of State Alexander Lukashenko had to resign.This topic is covered in detail in the main media. 

What happened at the end of July, however, were pressure attempts by the IMF and World Bank.
Before these two institutions would grant any financial aid to the country, the government of Belarus would have to order corona measures like those in Italy. Belarus refused. The country was prophesied by the main Western media of imminent doom and endless infirmity. None of this happened. 

For a long time Belarus was considered a blank spot on the Covid-19 map because reliable figures on deaths since the outbreak of the corona crisis could not be found. This is now over, as Swiss Policy Research reports, citing a United Nations database.

For example, the number of deaths has so far been understated by the government by a factor of three. However, cumulative Covid 19 deaths in Belarus, at about 1,400, are below the number of the strongest waves of influenza since 1980.

It should be noted that the demographic situation in Belarus is different from that in most Western European countries: There are few people in the highest age group. Currently, about 9.5 million people live in the country. 

This makes Belarus proof that what several experts recommended at the beginning of the pandemic is working: focusing protective measures on the risk groups, because lockdowns would do more harm than good. Most countries around the world have done the opposite with lockdowns of varying intensity and with the same mask obligation: they are proof that it has not worked.

Everyone who knows me also knows about my somewhat ambivalent opinion about hunting animals. Like the care of plants, the care of animals living outside is also necessary. That means I do not reject hunting per se. But if I see someone shooting at wild pigeons with 70 grams of bulkhead and carrying a "flag" of pastis, wine or other liquor in front of him, it is the end of fun.

There are quite a few dog owners in the UK or Germany who occasionally travel with their campervan in France in the off-season. The hunting season has now started since Sunday and there are some things that are better to be considered. The most important equipment is one of these fluorescent vests RED. But also for the hikers among you such a cheap one is very useful, even if it is not a Level IV Kevlar vest 😎
I have made the details available on my website as PDF for everyone to download for free. If you still want to do something good, please contact the two of them from the Rottweiler Gnadenhof, they have been overrun by doctor and treatment costs this year

It’s all about bunkers, bombs & people...
In Kiel’s "Flandernbunker" is an art project that has the goal teaching history for peace promotion and international understanding.
Technically speaking: a former anti-aircraft bunker. The amazing two meter thick concrete walls give an idea and impression of war constructions.
There are year-round exhibitions in the “Flanders Bunker” related to First and Second World War, as well as to the period of National Socialism. Sometimes living contemporary witnesses tell about their experiences. In the end, references to the present shall be established.
Witnesses of wars, also contemporary witnesses, are giving in this art project their accounts under the slogan: "daring memories”. Their experiences during wars should bring the reality of that time closer and serve as a reminder to help avoid repetition.
