He gets out of the stream and walks to a highway, where people throw garbage out of their cars. Then he slowly cries one tear. A voice says, "Some people have a deep, abiding respect for the natural beauty that was once this country. And some people don't. ... People start pollution. People can stop it." The ad was on television starting in 1971. The group Keep America Beautiful paid for and made the ad. It was about littering. The ad won many awards, for example two Clio Awards. Television stations played it so much that their copies of the film wore out and they had to get new ones.
Keep America Beautiful was run by packaging and drink companies. They tried to stop the government from passing laws that would be good for the environment. For example, they wanted to stop laws that would make them sell drinks in reusable bottles. Throwaway bottles were cheaper. So a law would be good for the environment but bad for the company. Keep American Beautiful wanted people to look at the ad and think individual people made pollution and not that big companies made pollution.
Trent University history professor Finis Dunaway says that the man in the Crying Indian ad "appears completely powerless. In the commercial, all he can do is lament the land his people lost," when, at the same time, real-life American Indians were working to solve their problems.
Another Crying Indian ad was on television in 1975. In 1998, the first one was on television again.
Cody married a Native American archaeologist called Bertha "Birdie" Parker. They adopted two Native American sons named Robert and Arthur. Cody lived his private life and raised his children as if they were all Native American. He wore moccasins and other Native American clothes in public.
According to his friends and family, Cody did believe that protecting the environment was very important. He worked to show Native Americans well in television and movies. He worked for Native American causes.
Not all Native Americans agree about whether Cody was good or bad or how far. The Hollywood Native community honored Cody because he represented them in movies and on television and fought bad ideas about American Indians. They said at the time that he was not Native American himself.

The pistachio ("Pistacia vera") is a small tree from the family Anacardiaceae (also known as the Cashew family). It is well known for its seeds that are eaten as food. It is native to the Middle East and Central Asia.
The fruit is a stone fruit. Only the seed is edible. The fruit has a hard, cream-colored exterior shell. The seed has a mauve-colored skin and light green flesh. When the fruit ripens, the shell goes from green to yellow or red and splits a bit open. Different varieties split differently.
Pistachio trees can give of seeds on average every two years.
The shell of the pistachio is naturally a beige color, but it is sometimes dyed red or green. It is thought that dye was used by importers to hide stains on the shells when the seeds were picked by hand. Most pistachios are now picked by machine and the shells do not have stains.

No Good Read Goes Unpunished
"No Good Read Goes Unpunished" is the 15th episode of "The Simpsons" 29th season. It was first broadcast on the Fox network on April 8, 2018. The episode is about Marge taking the Simpson family to a library. She learns that a book she loved to read as a child is racist. Bart gets the book "The Art of War". He uses the book to get Homer to take him to a convention for video games. The episode was written by Jeff Westbrook and Mark Kirkland is the director of the episode. About 2.15 million people watched the episode when it was first broadcast.
The episode makes an allusion to the documentary "The Problem with Apu". The documentary talks about how the character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon is a stereotype to Indian Americans. In the episode, Marge makes changes to the book she used to like ("The Princess in the Garden") and reads it to Lisa. The new changes make the book shorter and not as emotional. Lisa looks at a picture of Apu and says that something that was liked in the past "is now politically incorrect". Hari Kondabolu (the writer of "The Problem with Apu") wrote on Twitter that the episode did not get the meaning of the documentary. Many fans of "The Simpsons" thought that the show was not looking at the controversy of Apu seriously. Al Jean (showrunner of "The Simpsons") later said he would try to find a better way for the show to talk about the controversy.
Othello syndrome
Othello Syndrome is a psychological condition, where a person thinks that their partner is unfaithful, but does not have any proof for this behaviour. It is also known as pathological jealousy, morbid jealousy or delusional jealousy. The person will also behave in ways that are socially unacceptable or abnormal, but which are related to these thoughts. The most common form is characterized by delusions and obsessions. It is considered a subtype of delusional disorder.
As people are obsessed by the idea that their partner is unfaithful, they want to investigate and maintain their partner's fidelity, even if this causes big problems for themselves, and their partner.
This disorder occurs when a person accuses their partner of being unfaithful, even if there is little or no evidence for this. Very often people will use seemingly normal or everyday events or material to show this.
Unlike with other forms of delusion, people suffering from Othello syndrome, often stalk their partners, or they become violent. The condition can be found together with schizophrenia and a delusional disorder, such as bipolar disorder. It is associated with alcoholism and sexual dysfunction and has been reported after neurological illness (i.e. Parkinson's).
For men the strongest trigger is sexual infidelity and with women the strongest trigger is emotional infidelity. If partner-related violence does not stop infidelity from happening, the male mate will sometimes commit suicide instead. The last thing to do to stop infidelity inside of morbid jealousy is to kill their partner. Women are much less likely to do this, unless they act in self-defense. Morbid jealousy can occur together with other conditions such as chronic alcoholism, addiction to other drugs (i.e. cocaine, amphetamines, marijuana.), organic brain disorders (i.e. Parkinson's, Huntington's), schizophrenia, neurosis, affective disturbances or personality disorders.
People with this condition often think about killing themselves. This is also because Othello syndrome is often associated with depression and drug addiction.
The Martha Mitchell effect is the name for a false diagnosis, where a medical professional falsely labels a patient's perception of real events as a delusion. Martha Mitchell (1918-1976) was the wife of John Mitchell, United States Attorney General in the Nixon administration. When she said that White House officials were involved in illegal activities, her claims were attributed to mental illness. In the end, the facts of the Watergate scandal proved her statements to be true. Because of what she had told, Martha Mitchell became known as "The Cassandra of Watergate".
When Martha married her second husband, John, in 1957, he was working as an attorney in New York City. Mitchell met Nixon in New York. Later, Richard Nixon was elected president. As Mitchell was an important person, and employee of Nixon, the Mitchells moved to Washington, D.C.
During the election campaign 1972, the police arrested five burglars who had tried to install surveillance equipment in the Watergate office of the Democrats. One of the arrested people told the police that John Mitchell and John Dean had paid them to do this. At first, Nixon could still act like he was innocent, but John N. Mitchell found this more and more difficult.
His wife often called newspaper reporters at odd hours. She often called from the bathroom, so her husband wouldn't hear. Very often, her speech seemed slurred, as if she had been intoxicated by alcohol. For this reason, people didn't believe her. Only when she called Helen Thomas, and told her, that since her husband had known about the burglars, Nixon must also know, did people believe her. Martha Mitchell said that Nixon should resign.
There were other calls, where she again seemed to be drugged, and difficult to understand. She said she thought there was a conspiracy, which involved President Nixon. To hide this conspiracy, Nixon would use her husband as a scapegoat. Later it turned out that Nixon had ordered the burglary, and was also responsible for other actions. This provoked a scandal, which is known as the Watergate scandal today. It also confirmed the suspicion of Martha Mitchell, which many had not believed before, and showed that Mitchell was not insane.
Many of her allegations remain unproven, such as her claim that she had been drugged and put under guard during a visit to California after her husband was summoned back to Washington, D.C.. This was done to prevent her from leaving the hotel or making phone calls to the news media. Despite this, James McCord confirmed in 1975 that her story was true, as reported in "The New York Times".
More evidence supporting Mitchell's claims was published in a 2017 news article in "Newsweek" about the appointment of a U.S. ambassador. In 2022, Netflix released a documentary titled "The Martha Mitchell Effect".
In general, what the patient reports is seen as a delusion, because it is thought to be improbable. People with paranoia think they are being followed. People with a delusion have strange beliefs, that are difficult to explain. No one believed Martha Mitchell, so she was diagnosed both with paranoia, and said to be delusional. Both paranoia, and delusion are mentall illnesses. So, Martha Mitchell was seen as having the symptoms of a mental illness.
Other examples of such situations include:
Quoting psychotherapist Joseph Berke, the authors report that, "even paranoids have enemies". Delusions are "abnormal beliefs" and may be bizarre (considered impossible to be true), or non-bizarre (possible, but considered by the clinician as highly improbable). Beliefs about being poisoned, followed, having an unfaithful partner or a conspiracy in the workplace are examples of non-bizarre beliefs that may be considered delusions. Any patient can be misdiagnosed by clinicians, especially patients with a history of paranoid delusions.
The Mothman Prophecies (movie)
The Mothman Prophecies is a 2002 American supernatural horror movie directed by Mark Pellington. It is based on the 1975 book of the same name by American UFOlogist John Keel. It is about the search of local legend Mothman. It was released on January 25, 2002.
The Mothman is a legendary creature in American folklore. Point Pleasant, West Virginia, United States saw Mothman from November 15, 1966 to December 15, 1967.
Mothman may have been a barred owl. Barred owls's eyes shine bright red in the dark. At night, the eyes look much bigger than they really are. The people may have seen a barn owl flying very close to them and thought it was a larger animal further away.
The Siberian Times is an English-language news website that was originally launched in Novosibirsk, Russia in 2012. According to the editor of the website, Svetlana Skarbo, their aim is to challenge people's stereotypes about the region, described as "negative and out of date". Will Stewart, a British journalist formulated the idea. He also often uses their content in his articles.
Western media sometimes use their stories. One example is an article about frozen Siberian worms who were reanimated after thawing out of the permafrost. This story was also reported by the "Smithsonian" website, though the claim was also made by the academic journal "Doklady Biological Sciences".
Its reliability as a news source is disputed. According to Mashable, its stories are "allegedly real with a bit of hyperbole/Siberian fan fiction thrown in". Doubtfulnews.com also referred to the website as "not a reliable source for news".

As Belarus-Poland relations got worse further, migrants from Belarus began to enter Poland. On 6 August 2021, Poland reported 133 illegal crossings from Belarus over two days, which is more than the total number in the previous year, with the total number of illegal crossings to date being 552. On 9 August, Poland reported an additional 349 migrant arrivals over the weekend.
In early August 2021, a group of 32 Afghans and 41 Iraqi Kurds appeared on the border in the aftermath of the fall of Kabul (2021) and were denied entry to either country, resulting in lines of military personnel on each side isolating the encamped migrants. Their appearance follows an influx of thousands of mostly Middle Eastern migrants that had crossed the border from Belarus into Poland and other eastern EU members Latvia and Lithuania in the months leading up to the fall of Kabul, with the EU claiming that Belarus purposefully engineered the migration in response to union sanctions. While the Belarusian government denied this accusation, Poland called it a "hybrid attack" on the bloc and said the migrants should not be allowed entry because they are technically still in Belarus. After the migrants sought asylum assistance, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) summoned Poland and Latvia to provide them "food, water, clothing, adequate medical care and, if possible, temporary shelter" for three weeks, according to a statement from the court on 25 August, although neither country was ordered to allow the migrants past the border.
Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia released a joint statement, condemning the hybrid warfare of sending migrants over the borders. Since 18 August, 2021, Polish Armed Forces were sent to secure border with Belarus. As a response to the migrant crisis, Poland is building a wall in its border with Belarus.
A current military offensive by the Taliban and allied military groups, including al-Qaeda, against Afghanistan and its allies began on 1 May 2021. It happened around the same time as the withdrawal of most U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
On 22 July, the British Foreign Office's reports said that the Afghan military could fall apart and the Taliban could soon return to power in Kabul as a result of of NATO soldiers' withdrawal. The Foreign Office's report said that the British embassy in Kabul might need to close. The British Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, believed that Kabul would be safe for the whole of 2021.
On 10 August, U.S. officials said that the Afghan capital, Kabul, could fall to the Taliban within 30 to 90 days. On 15 August, the Associated Press reported that the Taliban had reached and captured Kabul. This caused the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan's government to fall. The Taliban said that they were awaiting a "transfer" of power. On 15 August, following the near seizure of the capital, the Taliban occupied the Presidential Palace after the incumbent President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.
