They usually do a fine job.Except there is a bad side-effect. The millions of tons of silt that flow down the Mississippi would once be deposited all along its edges and in the flood plains when it broke its banks. The fact Poland threw off the yoke of Communism led to the unification of Europe, led to a united Germany.” Speakers marvelled that Solidarity had achieved regime change through dialogue between revolutionaries and tyrants, rather than force, and served as a model for the so-called rose, tulip, orange and cedar revolutions that have taken place in the former Soviet bloc and beyond during the past two years.
Poland’s President, Aleksander Kwasnieswki, personifying the pragmatism of the Solidarity revolution that finally achieved victory in 1989 – he is a former supporter of the Soviet-backed regime turned democrat and capitalist – brought the memorial vividly into the present.Motioning to another former Communist, Mr Yushchenko, Mr Kwasnieswki referred to the poison-scarred hero of the orange revolution as the latest to reap the rewards of the Solidarity legacy.Mr Yushchenko in turn referred to Solidarity as a “banner of independence” that was “symbolic for the Ukrainian people”. Imperial eagles mate for life, so unless the ratio between sexes is evened up, they will produce fewer eggs, and eventually die out.Scientists remove female chicks from nests in areas where chicks run a high risk of death, then raise them in “semi-liberty”, fed by researchers, until they are freed. Male eagles significantly outnumber females, a natural consequence of the fact that the male is smaller than the female. Spain claims to be the only European country where electric cables are installed with legal regulations that seek to avoid harming wild birds.A further experiment provides special protection to female chicks. Their whole life is conditioned by this stage when they learn to fly, hunt, conquer a territory and seek a mate,” Dr Ferrer said.

“For the first time we will be able to establish if it’s possible to induce cultural changes in the behaviour of threatened species to teach them to avoid potential dangers.”If they learn, we could probably reduce deaths by electrocution to zero.”Naturalists have worked with the electric companies to install gadgets to discourage birds from landing on cables or crashing into pylons. “We expect that they will end up associating this shock with electric cables and posts in general, and stop landing on them,” says Miguel Ferrer, whose research team has fought for years to save Aquila adalberti.”We know that what they learn during their early youth marks their behaviour through their adult life. Posts carrying mild electric current are placed near their nests so that chicks, when they land on them, receive a “harmless but disagreeable” shock intended to warn them off the real thing. The birds have also fallen victim to poison set by farmers to combat foxes, and the drastic fall in numbers of rabbits, their main prey.Biologists at Spain’s principal scientific investigation centre, CSIC, are pioneering a system of “electric sheepdogs” designed to teach eagle chicks to avoid the deadly cables. This accounts for 60 per cent of deaths of imperial eagles in their first year of life. Despite efforts to save them, their chances of survival remain precarious. Fewer than 220 birds are reckoned to inhabit the Iberian peninsula, mostly around Andalusia’s Coto Do? national park where they are the main attraction.
But they face danger of electrocution from high-tension power cables that criss-cross their flight path.

This magnificent bird of prey, which lives only in Spain and Portugal, almost died out in the 1960s. Spanish scientists have launched an ambitious plan to halt the disappearance of the endangered Spanish imperial eagle, by teaching the birds not to electrocute themselves. The workers fought Communism because they wanted honourable working conditions,” he said. “Frankly, those working conditions have got worse, and there’s no solidarity if Polish lawyers have to go and wash English dishes for want of work here.”Mr Sieletycki, a representative of a section of Polish youth frustrated with the harsh capitalism that Solidarity finally won for Poland, is a member of the right-wing League of Polish Families, and speaks with admiration of Margaret Thatcher.Anna Walentynowicz, the Gdansk shipyard worker whose dismissal sparked the strike that Lech Walesa then led to form Solidarity, has staged a counter-commemoration, and maintains that Mr Walesa made too many compromises with Communists.Lech Walesa, a former shipyard electrician, acknowledged during his speech at the site of a new European Solidarity Centre yesterday that “freedom came, but it is still hard to get bread.”. Mr Saakashvili added: “Solidarity was the best thing which happened in the 20th century.”But not everyone in Gdansk yesterday was ready to join the celebrations.

“What we have in Poland today is not what my parents fought for,” said a Gdansk city councillor, Grzegorz Sieletycki, who at 25 was born just days after Solidarity was created on 31 August 1980.”Once we were the slaves of Moscow, now we are the slaves of Washington and Brussels. Young revolutionaries stood shoulder to shoulder with their elders as they paid tribute to the powerful influence of Poland’s Solidarity movement at 25th anniversary ceremonies held to commemorate the birth of the Communist bloc’s first independent trade union. As brilliant sunshine lit the streets of Gdansk yesterday, Georgia’s President, Mikhail Saakashvili, hailed the “second wave of Solidarity” that brought him to power in 2003. President Viktor Yushchenko, the leader of the orange revolution from neighbouring Ukraine, told the invited leaders: “Solidarity has become a road for everyone.” The German President, Horst K?r, said: “Poles freed not just themselves, they launched a process which radiates until today. Turkey vehemently denies that genocide took place, saying the death toll is inflated and Armenians were killed in a civil war as the Ottoman Empire collapsed, eventually giving way to the Turkish Republic in 1923.The “thirty thousand Kurds” mentioned by Pamuk refers to those killed since 1984 as Turkey fought a vicious war against armed Kurdish separatists.Turkey, which has been trying to improve its human rights record as it vies for membership of the EU, is extremely sensitive about both the Armenian and Kurdish issues, and its new penal code makes it a crime to denigrate Turkey’s national identity.Pamuk’s books, which include the internationally acclaimed Snow and My Name is Red, have been translated into more than 20 languages His publisher said yesterday:”We have to wait for the court Then he [Pamuk] will make his speech in the court.”. Orhan Pamuk is scheduled to go on trial on 16 December and could face up to three years in prison for comments on Turkey’s killing of Armenians and Kurds, his publisher, Tugrul Pasaoglu, said yesterday.
“Thirty thousand Kurds and one million Armenians were killed in these lands and nobody but me dares to talk about it,” Pamuk said in an interview with a Swiss newspaper in February.The “one million” refers to Armenians killed by Ottoman Turks at about the time of the First World War, which Armenians and several nations recognise as the first genocide of the 20th century. The study was presented at a British Psychological Society conference yesterday..
