邯郸月经推迟几天可以怀孕(邯郸怎么用怀孕试纸) (今日更新中)

It’s a sight to behold. Three of the most influential men in the Confederacy--Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson-- are carved into granite that is 400 feet above the ground. It’s called Stone Mountain, and it’s the largest monument to the Confederacy in Georgia and in the world.“Under state law, this park is established as a confederate memorial,” said John Bankhead of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association.To community activist Shar Bates, she said this park has different meanings for different people. Ask Atlantans over 50. “They’ll say they were told as kids not to go to the mountain. Talk to people in their 60s or 70s, they’ll say it was a place where the klan was ignited, and if you talk to people under 40, some people love to run up there, but for most of us, it’s a reminder of white supremacy,” said Bates. “It’s a reminder that white supremacy is still going strong in 2020."As smaller monuments of Confederate leaders are torn down across the country, many wonder: should Stone Mountain be next?“The mountain does have a dark history; we don’t deny that,” said Bankhead. “We wish we could turn back the clock and change it, but we can’t, so we have to face it as it is."That dark history fostered in the 1900s by the Venable family. They owned the mountain and signed off on the carving. They were known members of the Ku Klux Klan and granted the group an easement to gather on the mountain for years.“The Venables would allow the Klan to have rallies here,” said Bankhead. From initiations to burning crosses on the top of the mountain, this site was closely tied to the group until the state bought the park in 1958.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. even mentioned the mountain in his iconic “I Have a Dream” address saying, “Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain Georgia.”“That’s how deeply rooted the racism spurring from the mountain is,” said Bates.The carving was started in the early 1900s, but the first man who carved, Gutzon Borglum, eventually left the project to carve Mount Rushmore.The second carver, Augustus Lukeman, began on the project in 1925 and removed what Borglum had created. The funds for the project ran out in 1928 with the Great Depression. The carving remained untouched for decades.The state bought the park in 1958 and revived the carving project in the height of the Civil Rights movement. The carving was finished in 1972.The sight of the figures hang heavily over Bates’ head. She said she hasn’t been to the mountain in years. “My spirit was unsettled the first time I set foot there,” she said.Tens of thousands of people have signed a Change.org petition to remove the figures from the mountain. Bates is working with local leaders through a task force to see that change realized.“To see people who fought to continue enslaving my people turned into a hero, it makes me feel like I shouldn’t be here. It makes me feel like this government wants us to go back in history,” she said.Bankhead said this conversation of changing the memorial is an ongoing discussion. He said the Stone Mountain Memorial Association agrees the memorial is problematic and not inclusive. He said the association is now figuring out how to make the narrative of this mountain more inclusive.“It’s not like a statue,” he said. “You can’t move it, so it would present a unique problem to remove it, environmentally and financially, so the park is trying to do a better job of telling a better story that’s all-inclusive,” he said. They have not released plans of what that would look like yet, but Bankhead said it is in the works.“The best thing for them to do would be to remove the Confederate generals and replace them with civil rights leaders,” said Bates. “We are in the birthplace of civil rights."The monument and the park are protected by state law, so for any changes to be made, the state would have to sign off. Bates and Bankhead said they are committed to re-writing the story of this mountain to have a more inclusive future.“We’re not saying this will be easy,” said Bates. “Georgia owes its residents the removal of this unless they’re saying we live in a racist state. If we don’t live in a racist state, then prove it.” 4193

International auction house Bonhams has canceled an upcoming sale of rhino products amid mounting pressure from environmental groups, it was announced Friday.The auction, which was due to take place in Hong Kong next week, would have featured more than 20 antiques carved from rhino horn, including a vase, a hairpin, a pouring vessel and a variety of drinking cups.In a statement provided to CNN, Bonhams global CEO Matthew Girling said: "(We recognize) there are widely held concerns about this issue and have decided that the sale of the rhinoceros carving scheduled to take place in Hong Kong on 27 November will now not take place."An online catalog for the sale, which had been titled "Exceptional Chinese Rhinoceros Horn Carvings from the Angela Chua Collection," has been removed from the auction house's website.Girling also announced that Bonhams would join the likes of Christie's in barring rhino horn items from its auctions."In future Bonhams will not offer artifacts made entirely or partly from rhinoceros horn in its salerooms," the statement said.The decision follows objections from high-profile conservation groups, including WildAid. An online petition, addressed directly to Girling, called the auction "unethical" and "unsustainable," suggesting that the sale would stimulate poaching.The petition, which had been signed almost 10,000 times at the time of writing, also claimed that the sale was "quite likely illegal," and composed of "horns from recently poached rhinos" rather than antiques.Girling refuted such suggestions in his statement, claiming that all rhino carvings that pass through the auction house are antiques with "known provenance" and requisite licenses."Bonhams stands behind the professionalism and expertise of its specialists," he added.The use of rhino horn in Chinese art and crafts dates back millennia. Carved cups, such as those featured in the Bonhams auction, were thought to protect their users from poisoning. It was once believed that rhino horn reacted with poison, producing a fizzing that would alert drinkers to danger.Despite global efforts to combat poaching, antique rhino horn items can still be bought and sold if they carry a license issued by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).Bonhams, which is headquartered in London, is considered among the world's oldest and largest fine art auction houses. Rhino products previously sold by Bonhams include a cup dating back to the 17th century, which sold for 4,000 earlier this year.Rhino horn items recently sold at the auction house's UK salerooms include a Buddhist carving from Nepal, which went for ￡40,000 (,000), and another elaborate Chinese cup worth ￡25,000 (,000). Other lots have included snuff bottles and walking sticks.A senior specialist for wildlife programs and policy at Humane Society International, Iris Ho, welcomed Friday's decision."We applaud Bonhams for canceling the November 27 auction of rhino carvings and warmly welcome its pledge of not offering any rhino horn artifacts in the future," she told CNN in an emailed statement."The price to do the right thing -- choosing saving rhinos over profiting from rhino horn sales -- is priceless. The responsibility of ensuring the survival of the remaining wild rhinos, less than 30,000 of them, rests upon all of us."Conservationists, including Humane Society International, also mounted pressure on auction house Sotheby's to withdraw rhino horn items from one of its upcoming sales.A two-day Chinese art auction, set to take place at Sotheby's Hong Kong next week, had featured three rhino horn items with a combined value of up to 420,000 Hong Kong dollars (,000), according to an online catalog.As of Saturday, Sotheby's announced it would withdraw the three rhino horn related lots from the sale in an e-mail statement. Chairman of Sotheby's Asia Nicholas Chow confirmed the auction house would no longer offer rhino artifacts in the future.The outcry comes less than a month after China announced that it was relaxing laws prohibiting the sale of rhino and tiger products for "medical" purposes. 4134

It's often referred to as "The most exciting two minutes in sports."So what makes the Kentucky Derby so special?Here are five reasons not to miss the event, which will be held on May 5 at Churchill Downs race track in Louisville, Kentucky.It's America's longest running sports eventThe first Kentucky Derby was held on May 17, 1875, when a crowd of 10,000 saw three-year-old chestnut colt Aristides, ridden by African-American jockey Oliver Lewis, triumph at Churchill Downs.The Derby has been held at the same venue ever since, even during both World Wars and the Great Depression of the 1930s, making it the country's longest continuously held sports event.The 144th edition of the mile-and-a-quarter race for three-year-old thoroughbreds is expected to attract more than 150,000 spectators.The Derby is the first leg of racing's prestigious Triple Crown, which also consists of the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore and the Belmont Stakes in Belmont Park, New York.READ: No touchdown in Kentucky for Gronkowski...the horseIt has literary historyThe Kentucky Derby has been covered by some of America's most famous writers.In 1925, New York sports columnist Bill Corum called the Derby the "Run for the Roses" because the winning horse gets draped in a garland of hundreds of red roses.In 1935, legendary Tennessee-born sports writer Grantland Rice described the race like this:"Those two minutes and a second or so of derby running carry more emotional thrills, per second, than anything sport can show."His phrase has since been shortened to describe the Derby as "the most exciting two minutes in sports" or "the greatest two minutes in sports."In 1955, American author William Faulker, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize and a Southerner like Rice, covered the race for Sports Illustrated.This what he wrote:"So it is not just betting, the chance to prove with money your luck or what you call your judgment, that draws people to horse races. It is much deeper than that. It is a sublimation, a transference: man, with his admiration for speed and strength, physical power far beyond what he himself is capable of, projects his own desire for physical supremacy, victory, onto the agent -- the baseball or football team, the prize fighter. "Only the horse race is more universal because the brutality of the prize fight is absent, as well as the attenuation of football or baseball -- the long time needed for the orgasm of victory to occur, where in the horse race it is a matter of minutes, never over two or three, repeated six or eight or 10 times in one afternoon." It has legendary winnersIn 1973, Secretariat won the Derby in a time of one minute, 59.4 seconds, a record that still stands to this day. By comparison, last year's race was won by Always Dreaming, ridden by jockey John Velazquez, in a time of two minutes 3.59 seconds.Secretariat, also known as "Big Red," went on to clinch the Triple Crown in 1973, ending a 25-year wait.In 2006, Barbaro captured the public's imagination with an epic Derby win followed by a heroic fight against injury. After becoming only the sixth horse to win the Derby with an unbeaten record, Barbaro looked like he could be on the way to the Triple Crown when disaster struck in the Preakness Stakes two weeks later -- he shattered his leg shortly after getting out of the starting gates.Barbaro was put down by his owners eight months later, unable to overcome the complications he had suffered after the accident.But his fight to overcome his injury triggered an outpouring of public support for the horse and his owners the world over. His ashes are now buried at Churchill Downs, while a bronze statue of the horse was erected at the race track in 2009.In 2015, American Pharoah became the first horse to win the coveted Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978. The horse made the cover of Sports Illustrated and was photographed by US fashion magazine Vogue.It attracts the rich and famousThe Derby has always been a draw for the rich and famous, with some of the biggest stars in sports, fashion and Hollywood mixing with royalty.Previous Derby guests include Britain's Princess Margaret, boxer Muhammad Ali, US presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, Hollywood legends Lana Turner and Bing Crosby, baseball star Babe Ruth and in recent years, singer Justin Timberlake, actor Jack Nicholson, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and NFL star Eli Manning.The favorite tends to do wellLast year's win by Always Dreaming marked the fifth year in a row the pre-race favorite had won the race, the most since the 1890s.If you fancy a punt, this year's Derby looks like a very open race, with Justify, trained by American Pharaoh's handler Bob Baffert, heading the betting ahead of Aidan O'Brien's Irish raider Mendelssohn.No European horse has ever won the Kentucky Derby.The-CNN-Wire 4850
