By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Taiwan

(Clearwisdom.net) Prior to the 60^th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG), and more than 300 political leaders from 18 countries jointly wrote to the United Nations Human Rights Council to ask the United Nations to take effective action to stop the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Falun Gong.

The political leaders, including members of Congress, state and local council members, county magistrates, and city mayors are from 18 countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. They jointly wrote to the president of the UN Human Rights Council and UN Secretary-General to express their support for the global “Millions of Signatures” campaign launched by CIPFG and to call on the UN and the international community to take effective actions to stop the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Falun Gong.

CCP Moves “Transformed” Falun Gong Practitioners into Beijing Labor Camps during the Olympics

(Clearwisdom.net) The Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) recently published Torture Outside the Olympic Village: A Guide to China’s Labor Camps (http://www.humanrightstorch.org/news/guide-to-olympic-village-labor-camps/), which describes persecution incidents and gives directions to forced labor camps near the Olympic Village.

Right after the Guide was published, Beijing quickly transferred all steadfast Falun Gong practitioners away from these forced labor camps and moved in some former practitioners who were “transformed” ( = Implementation of brainwashing and torture in order to force a practitioner to renounce Falun Gong.and had renounced Falun Gong.) The camps treat these ex-practitioners well and allow reporters from around the world to enter the camps and perform interviews. But what the reporters see are false images staged by Beijing.

To reporters who want to conduct interviews, please have several groups go to different camps at the same time. For example, many practitioners were transferred from Beijing to the Shanxi Forced Labor Camp and Shanxi Women’s Forced Labor Camp, while some were sent to Inner Mongolia. These practitioners are locked up and denied any contact with the outside world.

The sphere has 2/3 the volume and surface area of the circumscribing cylinder. A sphere and cylinder were placed on the tomb of Archimedes at his request.

Archimedes died c. 212 BC during the Second Punic War, when Roman forces under General Marcus Claudius Marcellus captured the city of Syracuse after a two-year-long siege. According to the popular account given by Plutarch, Archimedes was contemplating a mathematical diagram when the city was captured. A Roman soldier commanded him to come and meet General Marcellus but he declined, saying that he had to finish working on the problem. The soldier was enraged by this, and killed Archimedes with his sword. Plutarch also gives a lesser-known account of the death of Archimedes… (more…)

( Eos Painting by Evelyn De Morga)

The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,
The vapours weep their burthen to the ground,
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath,
And after many a summer dies the swan.
Me only cruel immortality
Consumes: I wither slowly in thine arms,
Here at the quiet limit of the world,
