The Collected Novels Volume One...
Three iconic novels from "a superb storyteller with a gift for provoking controversy" (The New York Times).   Graham Greene has been hailed as "one of the finest writers of any language" (The Washington Post) and "the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's conscious and anxiety" (William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies). His extraordinary reputation rests largely on these three superb novels, all of which have been adapted into classic films.  Brighton Rock: Seventeen-year-old Pinkie Brown, raised in the prewar Brighton slums, leads a motley pack of gangsters whose small-time scams have erupted in murder. The coverup leads Pinkie to a timid and lovestruck young waitress—his new wife, the key witness to his crimes, and, should she live long enough, his alibi. But loitering in the shadows is another woman—one determined to avenge Pinkie's latest victim.   "Brilliant and uncompromising." —The New York Times  The End of the Affair: Maurice Bendrix, a writer in Clapham during the Blitz, and Sarah Miles, the bored, beautiful wife of a dull civil servant, begin a series of doomed and reckless trysts. After Maurice miraculously survives a bombing, Sarah ends the affair—quickly and without explanation. It's only when Maurice crosses paths with Sarah's husband that he discovers the unexpected fallout of their duplicity.   "One of the most true and moving novels of my time, in anybody's language." —William Faulkner, Nobel Prize–winning author  Our Man in Havana: James Wormold, a cash-strapped vacuum cleaner salesman in Havana, finds the answer to his prayers when British Intelligence offers him a lucrative job as an undercover agent. To keep the checks coming, he passes along sketches of secret weapons that look suspiciously like vacuum parts. But when MI6 dispatches a secretary to oversee his endeavors, Wormold fears his fabricated world will come undone. Instead, it all comes true. Somehow, he's become the target of an assassin, and it's going to take more than a fib to get out of Cuba alive.   "High-comic mayhem . . . weirdly undated . . . [and] bizarrely prescient." —Christopher Buckley, New York Times–bestselling author
Natalie Greco loves being a teacher, even though she can't keep her students from cruising sex.com during class. She loves her family, too, but her boyfriend fits in better with the football-crazy Grecos than she does. Then a colleague, handsome Angus Holt, talks Nat into teaching a class at a local prison, and her world turns upside down.
A violent prison riot breaks out, and Nat rushes to save the life of a mortally wounded guard whose last words are: "Tell my wife it's under the floor." Nat delivers the cryptic message, but before she knows it, she's suspected of murder and hiding from cops and killers alike. She is forced on the run to solve the riddle of the dead man's last words and to save her own life—and find real love.


Sociology has ever been popular optional subject in Civil Services (Prelims and mains) Examination and during previous years its popularity has even increased substantially with the tremendous performance shown by scores of candidates.
Nonetheless some deserving candidates fail To perform better to make their names appear in the list. This does not happen due to their lack of knowledge or understanding of the subject but primarily it is so because they lack proper guidance to tackle the subject in a right direction. Here my endeavour shall be to make the subject intelligible, easier and tricky so that even an average candidate may have the honour to reach the prestigious score of 350.
No special knowledge or academic background is required for the preparation of Sociology as an optional subject. Numerous evidences show that candidates without any special skill in Sociology have obtained high scores. The basic requirement of high scoring is actually the understanding of different elements of Sociology in right direction and making their use in a well-arranged and well-organised way. In other words, it can be said that Sociology is made up of different elements and all the elements are inter-related with each other in one or other way. How do we take up or understand these inter-relations, all depends on our personal ability. We develop this ability with the help of standard books and notes but sharpen it only under appropriate guidance, because books and notes are equally available to everyone, however, extraction of needful material from them varies from person to person. Here an appropriate guidance makes it easier even to an average student. A real guidance, through some novel approaches, makes any subject so much acceptable that a curiosity of reading and understanding the subject is easily born in us and that further paves the way for securing high marks.
Sociology 1st paper is commonly known as Thinker's paper. There are six thinkers namely Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Talcott Parsons, R.K. Merton and Mead mentioned herein. So, the candidates are required to focus heavily on thinkers and that almost completes the 1st paper. In this context, I wrote a book on thinkers in Hindi entitled with (समाजशास्त्रीय विचारधारा के मुख्य सचेतक) earlier; the English version of which is on the verge of its completion. It will solve most of thinker's related problems.
Thinkers' part is scaled as nearly 10 percent of the total syllabus of first paper but from the examination point of view, its corresponding weightage is almost 70 percent. In this way 90 percent of the syllabus covers only 30 percent of questions. Therefore, your focus on the syllabus should be in the same ratio ie, 70:30 and not 10:90.
and f stands for focus.
Still the very question " how to write better answer" remains unanswered. I will not leave this burden on your head. So, apart from giving you sufficient and appropriate notes, I will discuss each and every question on the related topic in the class-room (the question so far asked and expected to be asked) and provide you their better answers.
To make you expert in answer-writing I will discuss some new approaches which you are required to insert in your answers. That, while giving you an extra edge in comparison to others, will created a right impression before the examiner which, in turn, will fetch you good marks.
The aforesaid approaches I will discuss in the coming sections.
1. In General studies (1st paper): Questions varying from 20 marks to 50 marks are asked from social problems, do not require any special effort to deal with. The preparation of sociology will complete this portion.
The topics covered in this section are: Demography and Human Resources and related issues. Behavioural and social issues and social welfare problems, such as child labour, gender equality, adult literacy, rehabilitation of the handicapped and other deprived segments on the society, drug abuse, public health, corruption in public life, communal harmony etc.
2. In Essay paper: There are two to four topics directly based on social problems, which would be arranged in a very systematic and logical manner. Sociology students always remain in comfort zone in making a better presentation and obtaining good marks.
3. In Interview: Most of the current-based and situation-based questions have direct link with social problems. A Sociology student has already been groomed for such questions. He has built-in platform to tackle social problems. His updated knowledge makes him a perfect interviewee and interviewers seek no boundation in awarding him marks.
Sociology 2nd paper is basically a practical paper. Its facts are required to be proved with the help of solid reasons. The reasons are found in the form of case studies, which make our answers authentically powerful, if used appropriately. Altogether our analysis matching with these case studies put the answer at its perfection.
Case studies and analysis are greatly inter-related. Both are complementary to each other. One's existence is incomplete and worthless with other's absence.
1. Addition of many more case studies pleases the examiner and he gives plenty of marks.
Truth: This kind of thinking is completely baseless and wrong. Case studies are no doubt very essential but be careful, each case study has the ability to render a big truth and that requires sufficient analysis. There are two facts in this context.
(a) When we write the answer in limited words and time constraint, we can not take the support of too many studies also because most parts of our answer are covered by analysis. Therefore, some studies and their analysis make the answer complete.
(b) If within word-limitation we focus mostly on case studies, we do not get time and words to analyse them, then our answer will appear as incomplete and unorganized.
2. The nature of case studies is not as important as their number.
Truth: The nature of studies is very important. Along with some old studies you must try to give some new studies. That effort is highly appreciated. The reason behind is that most of the studies have been conducted in 60s and 70s. The 21st century society has met with a drastic change vis-à-vis the decade of 60s and 70s. The level of change has gone to such an extent that if both the societies are brought face to face, it would be quite difficult to tell that they have a difference of only 30-40 years.
So it is advisable here to manoeuvre some new studies for which appropriate journals and magazines are recommended. Moreover, one thing needs to be disclosed here that examiners feel bored finding same case studies in everyone's answer-sheets, they want some new version and your effort in this direction may create miracle.
1. Give greater emphasis on 73rd Amendment Act.
2. Discuss the reservations given to SC/ST, women and backward class.
4. Discuss different programmes for the upliftment of poor sections and women empowerment/emphasis on female participation in politics/impact of women's Reservation Bill.
5. After giving all studies in a paragraph, discuss mainly about empowerment, democratic decentralization, mass participation in administration, awareness among people, etc.
6. More than a decade have gone after the implementation of Panchayati Raj, we have enormous studies on it, place a few of them rightly.
7. Give the views of Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen.
8. Give the opinion of World Bank in the very age of Globalisation in this context.
1. The aim of most of the sociologists is to find the percentage of jointness and nuclearity in the concerned society. Their studies and conclusions are mostly alike. So try to give them in one or two paragraphs.
2. Among all these studies, the study of Ross is very important. Because she has focused on those issues which are useful for even today's families and in which the issue of children's freedom is most important.
3. Discuss the impact of different Acts or laws related to family or marriage ie, the impact in thinking process, behaviour, freedom of children and also its negative impact.
4. Impact of Globalisation, Privatisation and liberalization on society, also the impact of Panchayati Raj, etc.
5. The impact of communication system and media on society and so on family system – Awareness level of people has tremendously raised, it paved the way to understand and analyse the world and in this way a complete change in their world-view.
6. Empowerment emancipated women – their decision making capacity increased – they can no more carry the traditional Purdah system – consequences of all these – in the form of a big generation-gap and that leads to change in family-system.
7. Lastly give an emphatic conclusion.
Every tail-word has a specific meaning and its understanding is quite essential for a candidate to make his answer perfect. Here I am describing some important tail-words to resolve your problem related with the understanding of the question.
Explain: To simplify the given statement. To write about the statement (may be based on theory) in such a way that its meaning becomes clear and unequivocal.
Describe: It means general writing about the subject, is, giving straight forward discussion on different aspects of the given subject. In a simple language it can be said that whatever your know about the subject, write it systematically. No special 'approach' is needed.
Analyse: First break the statement in different parts, then describe them separately and then give a systhesis.
Examine: Highlight different aspects of the given subject and then throw light on relevancy and fruitfullnes of each aspect.
Criticise : Here both positive and negative aspects should be taken into account but still the emphasis should be on negative aspect.
Evaluate: Writing a conclusion after discussing different aspects of the statement. Here, conclusion has special importance.
Elucidate: Describing with appropriate examples.
Critically Evaluate: Criticism in the approach of evaluation.
Critically Review: Criticism in the approach of review i.e., after giving criticism of the theory, criticise the critiques.
Critically examine: First 'describe' - Its positive + negative then 'criticise' - Its positive + negative. Now make a balance between the two.
1. Write your answer straight forward without any introduction.
2. Your word-limit should not cross 220 mark.
3. Use an easy and free flow language to make your description easily understandable.
4. Try to ascertain the points on which more emphasis is given. Your answer should revolve around that point. For example if you have to write short notes on "value-free sociology", So first tell its meaning and then quote some sociologists who have tried to establish sociology as value neutral. Now discuss some problems which restrict sociology to be value free and the contradictions in the thoughts of sociologists at this concept like Max Weber, a main proponent of value free sociology, has adopted 'subjective meaning' and 'verstehen approach' similarly Emile Durkheim advocated to consider social facts as things and simultaneously for 'collective conscience'. Finally give a conclusion in form of a practical solution.
5. If the topic so requires, you may finish the short notes abruptly is, without giving any conclusion. For example, short notes on 'Mode of production' do not require any conclusion and criticism.
6. Your knowledge of strong vocabulary is always appreciated. Writing more in limited words is an art and does not come suddenly. It requires a continuous effort and a right feedback.
7. In short notes, your 'accuracy' and 'exactness' and not your wide knowledge is praised. Though knowledge of the subject is indispensable but the arrangement of elements at right place is the measurement of 'exactness'.
8. If required, you can mention one or two case studies briefly.
(c) Changing form of MOP - A special characteristic.
(f) Emergence of communism - A new MOP where change stops.
8. (a) Automation and Problem of unemployment among workers.
(c) Dominance of Specializaion - Alienation at its zenith.

Read more about Remembering John..
John would have turned 67 years old today. Not a day goes by that we do not miss him - in spite of the wonderful legacy of music he left us. Every now and then a talented singer-songwriter emerges who is clearly inspired by JM. But it never comes close to what we have come to cherish. This only proves that John is irreplaceable.
Last year I was happy to discover that the ghost of the echoplex has not disappeared. This clip by Nils Frahm is something totally different but gives a nice touch to a memorable day.
Play a John album, open up a good bottle of claret, spread the word and the love for music and mankind.
On the 26th and 27th of June, JM afficionados and musicians will get together for a John Martyn Summer Gathering. The (small) event will take place at the Green Dragon Inn, Hardraw Hayes, Leyburn. That is in North Yorkshire. Which is fairly in the middle between Glasgow and London, when you think about it. Tickets cost £ 20.00 and the event is non profit. More details in the poster.
Several tribute bands have been confirmed and one should certainly seize the opportunity to meet Cheryl Wilson and Irish singer-songwriter Ultan Conlon (who both participated in Jim Tullios tribute project). Also there will be guitar workshops.
"We welcome all musicians and fans to join us at the gathering."

This symbol has public utility, and is shortly expected as a matter of custom and etiquette, a whole lot in order that its absence is usually interpreted as which means that the person is single. Many spouses wear their marriage ceremony rings day and night. When needed because of hygiene or to avoid damage, they commonly wear their rings on a necklace. Some cultures exchange extra rings: In some parts of India, Hindu women may wear a toe ring or "bichiya" rather than a finger ring, however the bichiya is increasingly worn as well as a finger ring. In japanese India, primarily in West Bengal, women wear an iron bangle denominated a "loha". Increasingly, this bangle is plated with gold or silver to improve its look. These shiny stones are used in rings, necklaces, pendants and lots of other pieces of jewellery. Usually, all diamond studded gold and silver jewelry are quite pricey. The ones with the main difficult designs will cost you more as a result of their fine craftsmanship. Diamond necklaces are a hit with women and that they even have matching rings and finger rings. One can get bangles too that are made out of gold and diamonds. Bracelets are an alternate a part of jewellery that we wear and bracelets with stones add glitter to our hands. There are many the best way to test these valuable stones and also you can check their nice. Usually, the stones are certified by the Gemology branch and the certificates are enough to prove that the diamonds and rubies are real. Bracelets with stones add glitter but they need to be maintained rather well. Gold and silver might be wiped clean frequently to avoid damage. If you wear the bracelets quite often to your work place or for events, make sure you keep checking them if all the stones are in place or not. With frequent usage, the stones in the bracelets might fall off and that spoils the look of the bracelet. Compositions and stylesIn Western international locations, wedding rings are sometimes forged of rose, white, or yellow gold; palladium, platinum, argentium silver, or, more currently, silicone.  The perpetuity of noble metals symbolizes the permanence of the marriage. Common engravings on the within the ring consist of the name of one's spouse, the names of both spouses, the date of the marriage, and/or a phrase of importance to the spouses.  In many international locations the engagement rings are plain while the bride's wedding ring commonly is bejeweled. Some customs include the wedding ring as the final of a sequence of gifts, which also may consist of the engagement ring, traditionally given as a betrothal present. This custom was practiced in historical Rome and is possibly much older. Selections of tiffany cut, three-stoned and princess cut diamond rings. When it involves wedding rings, though it may differ, most couples favorite to have marriage ceremony rings that can surely last for an entire life. A man with a marriage ring can not flirts with any woman. For that shows his status in life. Rings made of platinum and titanium metal bands are hard and sturdy. This kind of metal bands are great selections for man's wedding rings.


You have seen all that the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the Lord your God is He who has fought for you… But you shall hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day. For the Lord has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day. One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the Lord your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you (Joshua 23: 3, 8-10).
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them." So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God. And he said to the elders, "Wait here for us until we come back to you. Indeed, Aaron and Hur are with you. If any man has a difficulty, let him go to them."" Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain (Exodus 24: 12 -15).
But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: ""The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, 'a land which flows with milk and honey.' Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them" (Numbers 14:6-9).
Not only did Israel reject their counsel, but the nation rose up to permanently silence Joshua's protests, taking up stones against Caleb and Joshua, which was quickly preempted when God appeared on the scene in the cloud of glory. Judgement against Israel quickly followed for the entire nation except these two men, bold and brave, who stood in Yes to God when the rest of the nation shouted a horrified No.
And the Lord said to Moses: "Take Joshua the son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and inaugurate him in their sight. And you shall give some of your authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire before the Lord for him by the judgment of the Urim. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, he and all the children of Israel with him—all the congregation (Numbers 27:18-21).
God clearly laid out the battle plan: obey and win. Following God was crucial and with God leading, Canaan would soon be Israel's to occupy.
Mercifully, God showed the Israelites that without a doubt, He was large and in charge. Israel could nothing without God. By supernatural grace, the nation crossed the Jordan River on dry ground at the harvest time when it overflowed its banks. The waters miraculously split when the priests stepped into the river with the ark of God upon their shoulders. One by one, each man, woman and child passed by the holy ark of the covenant, each seeing the power of God for themselves as they cut through the spring waters of the Jordan on dry ground before the battle plains of Jericho.
Incredibly, the waters somehow stopped up in a heap in a nearby town called Adam, in a God breathed holding pattern, while twelve tribal leaders hoisted boulders up upon their shoulders, carrying the testimony of the crossing. Besides the worshiping priests, Joshua stooped down twelve times and heaped up an altar in the midst of the Jordan. The Jordan remained dry until the last priest stepped onto the shores of Canaan. At Gilgal, the twelve tribal leaders solemnly laid their stones, both markers a testimonial for the generations of that day when God split the Jordan for His people, an unbudging sign of God's amazing power and provision. Like the Red Sea miracle of their parents, these grown children rejoiced, knowing full well they could never have crossed those waters without their God.
When the Canaanites and Amorites heard about God's entrance strategy into Canaan, the Bible says, "their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel." (5:1). Nice intimidation tactic against the enemy. The crossing was as much a confidence boost for Israel as it was a warning shot to Jericho that new owners would soon be occupying.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day. Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho. And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day. Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year (Joshua 5: 9-12).
Israel's history in the desert had taught the clear lesson that obedience to God would ensure victory in Canaan. For us, the same rule applies. God's instruction to Joshua holds true today even as we navigate the wars and wins of our own life. Our success still depends on a dynamic living relationship with Almighty God and obedience to His Word flows easier from a place of trust in our God. Our expectation of His hand to move on our behalf in connected in direct proportion to our obedience to His Word. Our destiny is as hinged to fear of God as was Joshua's. From the tabernacle to the Promise Land, Joshua held fast to God with huge results: a whole nation moved into their destiny as God's Chosen Ones.
What will happen if we take God at His word and obey? How will our family, our city, our nation be impacted by the power of just one man or woman who clings in love and trusts in Almighty God with applied obedience?
Let's Pray: Father God Almighty, help us, like Joshua, to place priority of time with You more than any other demand, that we may be readied to cross over into our inheritance in You. As warrior priests, may we linger before You and know Your love, and may we expect victory simply because we are convinced of Your greatness. Teach us, O God, to obey You as we trust Your goodness and power in our lives. Lord God, You are faithful. Your Words are true. Your Testimony is great. We are so thankful to be Your children. Come down in love, Lord God, that we may each supernaturally cross any barriers that try to keep us from Your Promises this day. We ask this in the Name of our beloved Lord Jesus. Amen.
1. Joshua never left the tabernacle while Moses was alive. Have you ever experienced a season with God when you could devote days, weeks, months to time with God? What does your current time look like?
2. Joshua told the priests to step into a flooded river with the ark of God upon their shoulders. The priests obeyed with huge results. When have you obeyed God and seen miracles?
3. Jericho was freaking with fear when the Israelites crossed the flooding Jordan without peril, as that was most likely their first line of defense. Have you seen God show up and shock your enemies or opponents? How did it feel?
4. Circumcision was the holy command for every male Jew, to be done at eight days of age or upon conversion. Why do you think the nation had to be circumcised before they went to war in Canaan?
5. What does the Lord want to circumcise in your life? Are you willing? Can you see the pain with purpose payout?

1. Straw Bales Rather than relying on new research and technology, straw bale building hearkens back to the days when homes were built from natural, locally-occurring materials. Straw bales are used to create a home's walls inside of a frame, replacing other building materials such as concrete, wood, gypsum, plaster, fiberglass, or stone. When properly sealed, straw bales naturally provide very high levels of insulation for a hot or cold climate, and are not only affordable but sustainable as straw is a rapidly renewable resource. ®Flickr/Willie Angus 2. Grasscrete As its name might indicate, grasscrete is a method of laying concrete flooring, walkways, sidewalks, and driveways in such a manner that there are open patterns allowing grass or other flora to grow. While this provides the benefit of reducing concrete usage overall, there's also another important perk — improved stormwater absorption and drainage. 3. Rammed Earth What's more natural than the dirt under your feet? In fact, walls that have a similar feel to concrete can actually be created with nothing more than dirt tamped down very tightly in wooden forms. Rammed earth is a technology that has been used by human civilization for thousands of years, and can last a very long time. Modern rammed earth buildings can be made safer by use of rebar or bamboo, and mechanical tampers reduce the amount of labor required to create sturdy walls. 4. HempCrete HempCrete is just what it sounds like – a concrete like material created from the woody inner fibers of the hemp plant. The hemp fibers are bound with lime to create concrete-like shapes that are strong and light. HempCrete blocks are super-lightweight, which can also dramatically reduce the energy used to transport the blocks, and hemp itself is a fast-growing, renewable resource. ®Flickr/Carolina Zuluaga 5. Bamboo Bamboo might seem trendy, but it has actually been a locally-sourced building material in some regions of the world for millennia. What makes bamboo such a promising building material for modern buildings is its combination of tensile strength , light weight, and fast-growing renewable nature. Used for framing buildings and shelters, bamboo can replace expensive and heavy imported materials and provide an alternative to concrete and rebar construction, especially in difficult-to reach areas, post-disaster rebuilding, and low-income areas with access to natural locally-sourced bamboo. 6. Recycled Plastic Instead of mining, extracting, and milling new components, researchers are creating concrete that includes ground up recycled plastics and trash, which not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions, but reduces weight and provides a new use for landfill-clogging plastic waste. 7. Wood Plain old wood still retains many advantages over more industrial building materials like concrete or steel. Not only do trees absorb CO2 as they grow, they require much less energy-intensive methods to process into construction products. Properly managed forests are also renewable and can ensure a biodiverse habitat. RELATED: Energy efficient timber cabin in Norway 8. Mycelium Mycelium is a crazy futuristic building material that's actually totally natural – it comprises the root structure of fungi and mushrooms. Mycelium can be encouraged to grow around a composite of other natural materials, like ground up straw, in molds or forms, then air-dried to create lightweight and strong bricks or other shapes. ®Flickr/Zack Detailer 9. Ferrock Ferrock is a new material being researched that uses recycled materials including steel dust from the steel industry to create a concrete-like building material that is even stronger than concrete . What's more, this unique material actually absorbs and traps carbon dioxide as part of its drying and hardening process – making it not only less CO2 intensive than traditional concrete, but actually carbon neutral. ®Flickr/Alan Stark 10. AshCrete AshCrete is a concrete alternative that uses fly ash instead of traditional cement. By using fly ash, a by-product of burning coal, 97 percent of traditional components in concrete can be replaced with recycled material. ®Public Domain Pictures 11. Timbercrete Timbercrete is an interesting building material made of sawdust and concrete mixed together. Since it is lighter than concrete, it reduces transportation emissions, and the sawdust both reuses a waste product and replaces some of the energy-intensive components of traditional concrete. Timbercrete can be formed into traditional shapes such as blocks, bricks, and pavers.

Blu-Ray News #299: Universal Horror Collection, Volume 6.
I'm really excited about this one, as Shout Factory's Universal Horror Blu-Ray series moves into the 50s. This is announced for release on August 25.
The Black Castle (1952)
Directed by Nathan H. Juran
Starring Richard Greene, Boris Karloff, Stephen McNally, Rita Corday, Lon Chaney, Jr., John Hoyt, Michael Pate
You could say this was the last of the true Universal-type horror movies, with all the trapping and a few of the actors we associate with such things. It was Nathan Juran's first time as director. He was on the film as art director, but was moved into the director's chair when Joseph Pevney walked.
Cult Of The Cobra (1955)
Directed by Francis D. Lyon
Starring Faith Domergue, Richard Long, Kathleen Hughes, Marshall Thompson, Jack Kelly, William Reynolds, David Janssen
This story of a cult of snake worshippers, a deadly curse and the beautiful, deadly snake goddess (Faith Domergue) making their way to New York went out as the second feature behind Revenge Of The Creature (1955).
The Thing That Couldn't Die (1958)
Directed by Will Cowan
Starring William Reynolds, Andra Martin, Jeffrey Stone, Carolyn Kearney
Running just 69 minutes, shot by the great Russell Metty and with terrific poster art from Reynold Brown (up top), this played with Hamer's Horror Of Dracula (1958) in the States. It's about a telepathic head that's discovered in a box at a dude ranch.
The Shadow Of The Cat (1961)
Starring André Morell, Barbara Shelley, William Lucas, Fred Jackson
A cat witnesses a murder, then helps both solve it and bring the culprits to their just rewards. Shot in black & white by Hammer's ace cameraman Arthur Grant.
Scream Factory has come up with some real gold in this one, and it's good to see these more obscure Universal horror pictures get a chance to shine. They'll be seen in their original widescreen aspect ratio, with the exception of The Black Castle, which predates the shift to widescreen. Highly recommended.

One Quick Thing.
The second volume of Kit Parker's Noir Archive series showed up yesterday. In a year filled with really great stuff coming out on Blu-Ray, this might be my favorite so far.
Four of my favorite B directors are here: William Castle, Nathan Juran, Phil Karlson and Fred F. Sears. Some of my favorite actors, too — John Agar, Robert Blake, Mari Blanchard, Timothy Carey, Richard Denning, Faith Domergue, Vince Edwards, Beverly Garland, Brian Keith, Guy Madison, Kim Novack and more.
All nine pictures look terrific — the Columbia transfers are almost flawless. Proper reviews will follow, but I can't recommend Noir Archives Volume 2: 1954-1956 highly enough.

Blu-Ray News #227 Update: This Island Earth (1955).
Directed by Joseph M. Newman
Starring Jeff Morrow, Faith Domergue, Rex Reason, Lance Fuller, Russell Johnson, Douglas Spencer, Richard Deacon
Scream Factory has pushed their release date for This Island Earth (1955) back a few weeks. Given some of the rumblings I've heard about what they're doing to this thing, it's gonna be well worth the extra wait.
The more I think about this, the more excited I get. While I'm a The Thing (1951) man through and through, This Island Earth may be the Gone With The Wind (1939) of 50s science fiction movies — apologies to all you Forbidden Planet (1956) nuts out there. And when I drug out my DVD of it a couple months ago, I was really disappointed by how it looked. We've come to expect a lot out of DVD/Blu-Ray transfers these days. I'm sure this Blu-Ray will be stunning.
Dr. Cal Meacham (Rex Reason): I want to know what it is and what it does. Order the list of parts on these pages.
You don't want to miss this one folks. After all, as the ads remind us, it was "2-1/2 years in the making!"

Blu-Ray News #229: Noir Archive Volume 2: 1954-1956.
The first nine-film, three-disc volume in Kit Parker's awesome assemblage of hi-def Film Noir hasn't hit the street yet, and now the second's been announced. These are coming in July, and it's another great lineup.
Bait (1954)
Directed by Hugo Haas
Starring Cleo Moore, Hugo Haas, John Agar
Hugo Haas directs himself, Cleo Moore and John Agar in a love triangle involving a lost gold mine.
The Crooked Web (1955)
Directed by Nathan Juran
Starring Frank Lovejoy, Mari Blanchard, Richard Denning
Nathan Juran directed lots of cool stuff, but this is the only one with Mari Blanchard as a waitress. This one involves gold, too, but it's a stash of Nazi gold. Nathan Juran did some cool stuff — from The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad (1957) to Good Day For A Hanging (1958).
The Night Holds Terror (1955)
Directed by Andrew Stone
Starring Jack Kelly, Hildy Parks, Vince Edwards, John Cassavetes, David Cross, Jonathan Hale
Sort of a combination of The Hitch-Hiker and The Desperate Hours, with John Cassavetes one of the crooks.
Footsteps In The Fog (1955)
Directed by Arthur Lubin
Starring Stewart Granger, Jean Simmons, Bill Travers, Ronald Squire
The only picture in the set in color, this one has Stewart Granger as a killer who chooses the wrong victim, literally.
Cell 2455, Death Row (1955)
Directed by Fred F. Sears
Starring William Campbell, Marian Carr, Kathryn Grant, Harvey Stephens, Vince Edwards
Based on the true story by Caryl Chessman. Director Fred F. Sears is a real favorite of mine.
5 Against The House (1955)
Directed by Phil Karlson
Starring Kim Novack, Alvy Moore, William Conrad, Kerwin Mathews
A team of Army buddies snag a camper trailer and head to Reno to rob the casinos. Phil Karlson keeps things tough and tight. Terrific movie.
New Orleans Uncensored (1955)
Directed by William Castle
Starring Arthur Franz, Beverly Garland, Helene Stanton, Mike Mazurki
William Castle working for Sam Katzman. Beverly Garland. Black and white widescreen. Why haven't you pre-ordered one already?
Spin A Dark Web (1955)
Directed by Vernon Sewell
Starring Faith Domergue, Lee Patterson, Rona Anderson, Martin Benson
A boxer gets sucked into the London mob, with a little help from Faith Domergue. Vernon Sewell directed lots of B movies in the UK, and this is a cool one.
Rumble On The Docks (1956)
Starring James Darren, Laurie Carrol, Michael Granger, Robert Blake, Timothy Carey
Fred F. Sears, Robert Blake and Timothy Carey all working on a Sam Katzman movie — and the results are every bit as wonderful as you might be imagining.
To have these nine pictures, in their original aspect ration and high definition, is a real treat. I can't wait.

Blu-ray News #3: Ray Harryhausen Double Feature.
Mill Creek has come through with a good one: It Came From Beneath The Sea (1955) and 20 Million Miles To Earth (1957) as a Blu-ray double bill. These may be my two favorite Harryhausen films, and I'm glad they'll be presented without the colorized versions. If nothing else, that omission makes this purchase worthwhile.
It Came From Beneath The Sea stars Kenneth Tobey, who I'd love to see on Blu-ray in Howard Hawks' The Thing (1951).

The Temporary Detention Camp for Japanese Americans / Pomona Assembly Center is one of the places Japanese Americans were held during World War II. The Pomona Assembly Center was designated a California Historic Landmark (No. 934.04) on May 13, 1980. The Pomona Assembly Center is located in what is now called the Fairplex in Pomona, California in Los Angeles County. The Pomona Assembly Center was called Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in 1942.

History

After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, it was feared that some Japanese Americans might be loyal to the Empire of Japan and Emperor of Japan. President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942 signed Executive Order 9066, which authorized the Secretary of War to prescribe certain areas as military zones, clearing the way for the incarceration of Japanese Americans, German Americans, and Italian Americans in U.S. concentration camps. The Los Angeles County Fairgrounds was selected as one of the Southern California detention camps. The other Los Angeles County camp selected was the Santa Anita assembly center at the Santa Anita Racetrack, which is also a California Historic Landmark (No. 934.07). A California Historic Landmark plaque is located near Fairplex, on the grassy drop off area, north of the intersection of Canyon Way and West McKinley Avenue, at around 1099 West McKinley Avenue, Pomona, California.

Construction on the Pomona Assembly Center began on March 21, 1942, and the camp officially opened on May 7, 1942. The Pomona Facility consisted of 309 barracks, 8 mess halls, and 36 shower and latrine facilities. The first group of 72 Japanese American citizens arrived on May 9. By May 15, 1942 the Pomona site was operating near capacity, with 4,270 internees. Pomona reached a peak population of 5,434 before its closing on August 24, 1942. Most internees there were transferred to Heart Mountain in Wyoming. The site remained in use for the duration of the war, first housing U.S. troops, and then German and Italian prisoners of war. Today, the site serves as the Fairplex parking lot.

In California, 13 temporary detention facilities were built. Large venues that could be sealed off were used, such as fairgrounds, horse racing tracks and Works Progress Administration labor camps. These temporary detention facilities held Japanese Americans while permanent concentration camps were built in more isolated areas. In California Camp Manzanar and Camp Tulelake were built. Executive Order 9066 took effect on March 30, 1942. The order required all native-born Americans and long-time legal residents of Japanese ancestry living in California to surrender themselves for detention.

Japanese Americans were held until the end of the war in 1945. In total 97,785 Californians of Japanese ancestry were held during the war.

Marker
Marker on the site reads:
NO. 934 TEMPORARY DETENTION CAMPS FOR JAPANESE AMERICANS-SANTA ANITA ASSEMBLY CENTER AND POMONA ASSEMBLY CENTER – The temporary detention camps (also known as 'assembly centers') represent the first phase of the mass incarceration of 97,785 Californians of Japanese ancestry during World War II. Pursuant to Executive Order 9066 signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, thirteen makeshift detention facilities were constructed at various California racetracks, fairgrounds, and labor camps. These facilities were intended to confine Japanese Americans until more permanent concentration camps, such as those at Manzanar and Tule Lake in California, could be built in isolated areas of the country. Beginning on March 30, 1942, all native-born Americans and long-time legal residents of Japanese ancestry living in California were ordered to surrender themselves for detention.

Camp Pomona
The last internee was moved out on August 24, 1942. On September 4, 1942 the Pomona Assembly Center was changed and turned over to the Army's Ordnance Motor Transport Agency and became known as the Pomona Ordnance Depot, Pomona Ordnance Base and Camp Pomona. The depot stored vast supplies needed for the Desert Training Centers in California and Arizona. Built at the depot also was a prisoner of war camp, the camp held 1,150 POWs, who did volunteer work at the depot. Units at the depot - camp: Ordnance Automotive School, Ordnance Motor Transport School, Ordnance Service Command Shop, Ordnance Unit Training Center, Pomona Ordnance Base, Pomona Ordnance Depot, Pomona Ordnance Depot Prisoner of War Camp, Pomona Ordnance Motor Base, Pomona Quartermaster Motor Base, Quartermaster Motor Transport School, and the Shop Supervisory Training Center, Pomona. At the Ordnance Motor Transport School, 3,000 troops were trained. The Italian Service Units of the 2nd Italian Quartermaster Service Company and 9th Italian Ordnance Medium Automotive Maintenance Company worked at the Pomona Ordnance Depot.

Camp Ayres
Camp Ayres - Chino Supply Depot - Camp Chino was a US Army and California State Guard subcamp of Camp Pomona, located in Chino, California, . The site was 30 acres of land on Central Avenue at Edison. For World War II the camp housed 500 German POWs starting in October 1944. The camp started in the 1930s for workers on Works Progress Administration projects. In May 1945 fire started at the camp depot, gas bombs, hand grenades, and small arms ammunition exploded. After the war in 1946 that site returned to farm works camp. In 1956 the site became the Chino Fairgrounds. Camp Ayers was named in honor of Sergeant Henry B. Ayers, a California State Guard, that died in the Battle of Los Angeles on February 24, 1942. He was driving a US Army truck with ammunition and had a heart attack at age 60.

Michael David Rudd (born 15 June 1945) is a New Zealand-born musician and composer who has been based in Australia since the mid 1960s, and who was the leader of Australian progressive rock bands Spectrum and Ariel in the 1970s.

Biography
Michael David Rudd was born in Christchurch, New Zealand. His first major group was the Chants R&B. The group came to Australia and settled in Melbourne in 1966, but broke up soon afterwards. Rudd then joined The Party Machine led by Ross Wilson and Ross Hannaford, who later formed Daddy Cool.

After Party Machine split up in late 1969, Rudd formed his own group, Spectrum, one of Australia's first progressive rock groups. This also marked the beginning of his long association with bassist Bill Putt. Spectrum released four LPs and several 7" singles, including their national No. 1 hit single I'll Be Gone, which has remained one of the best-known songs of the period, and the first Australian rock double album, Milesago. The group also worked under the pseudonym Indelible Murtceps and recorded one LP under that name.

After Spectrum split in April 1973, Rudd and Putt formed a new group, Ariel.  Along with keyboard player John Mills they joined forces with two leading Sydney musicians, guitarist Tim Gaze and drummer Nigel Macara from the progressive band, Tamam Shud. They released one successful LP, A Strange Fantastic Dream, in December 1973, but Gaze and Macara left the band soon after it was recorded.

In early 1974, Rudd and Putt began work on an extended concept piece, The Jellabad Mutant, and began rehearsing the music with drummer John Lee, ex-The Dingoes. Lee then brought in a friend, lead guitarist Harvey James, and this arrangement eventually coalesced into the second line-up of Ariel. They recorded a full-length demo tape of the planned LP, called The Jellabad Mutant, and presented it to their record label EMI, but to their surprise it was rejected.

However, by this time the band had gained some critical praise in the United Kingdom, thanks in part to leading disc jockey John Peel, and this led EMI's parent office in London to invite the group to record their next album at Abbey Road Studios. However, the rejection of the Mutant album left the band with no new material, and when they arrived in London they discovered that EMI were expecting the line-up that had recorded the first LP. Rudd hastily wrote a number of new songs, but to complete the LP they were forced to fall back on Rudd's back-catalogue, recording new versions of several Spectrum/Murtceps songs. The resulting album, Rock'n'Roll Scars, was mixed by the EMI recording engineer Geoff Emerick, who had worked with The Beatles.

In January 1975, Ariel was expanded to a five-piece with the addition of New Zealand singer-songwriter-guitarist Glyn Mason. This line-up recorded only one single and lasted until early 1976. Lead guitarist Harvey James left to join chart-topping Australian pop band Sherbet in March, (he was replaced by keyboardist Tony Slavich) and drummer John Lee quit to join English band, Dirty Tricks, during Ariel's second visit to the UK in April. He was briefly replaced by Nigel Macara, who quit again in October 1976, to be replaced by Iain McLennan.

Ariel continued to record and perform until July 1977, when they announced their break-up; they performed their farewell concert at the Dallas Brooks Hall in Melbourne on 31 August 1977; the show was recorded and later released on two LP's: Aloha; then Ariel Live!!-More From Before.

After Ariel, Rudd moved into promotion and production for a time. He produced the debut album for Newcastle bands Daniel and Jab and demos for Jane Clifton (ex-Melbourne band Stiletto).

Rudd and Putt later formed a succession of groups, in the 1980s — Mike Rudd's Instant Replay, Mike Rudd & The Heaters (both also with Tony Slavich) and the more electronically oriented W.H.Y. (Weird Harold and You), a drummer-less trio comprising Rudd, Putt and John Moon and featuring Weird Harold, an early but cantankerous drum-machine—but none achieved the same level of success as Spectrum or Ariel.

Although Rudd was forced to withdraw from performing for several years due to the illness and subsequent death of his wife Helen, Rudd and Putt sustained an enduring musical partnership, including reunions of Spectrum during the 1980s, and a duo album in 1996, Living on a Volcano. A new three-piece incarnation of Spectrum, with drummer Peter 'Robbo' Robertson, debuted in the late 1990s as Spectrum Play The Blues with a CD Spill, which took them back to their musical roots. Ariel also reformed for occasional gigs with varying line-ups, including a final reunion of the 'Mark II' line-up with Harvey James and John Lee, which took place not long before Lee's untimely death in July 1998.

Rudd, Putt and Robertson continued to perform and record as Spectrum, with occasional help from keyboardist Daryl Roberts, until Putt's death in Strathewen on 7 August 2013, ending an enduring 44 year partnership. Spectrum now continued as Mike Rudd with Broc O'Connor (bass), Peter 'Robbo' Robertson (percussion) and Daryl Roberts (keyboards).

Rudd's entire back-catalogue was re-released on Spotify and iTunes in August 2015.

L'isola di Farsi (  è una delle isole iraniane nel Golfo Persico.

Geografia
Appartiene alla provincia di Bushehr. Ha un'area di circa  ed un'altitudine massima di 3 m.

È sede di un faro e di una base navale della marina militare iraniana ed è per questo motivo interdetta ai civili.

Storia
Ricca di petrolio e gas naturale nel sottosuolo, negli anni ottanta del XX secolo fu al centro di una disputa territoriale con l'Arabia Saudita durata fino al 1986, quando le parti riconobbero mutualmente la sovranità iraniana su Farsi e quella saudita su Arabi, un'isola posta a sud di Farsi.

Isole dell'Iran


The External Cable Set is used when an external RF deck is going to be used with the Cube, instead the internal Softrock RF deck.
The External Cable set is comprised of the 40-wire flat cable that connect the DSP and I/O boards ("Cable 1"), and the 5 smaller ribbon cables that interconnect the DSP board with the 15-pin D-style "External Softrock" connector that gets mounted on the rear panel of the Enclosure.
Pressing Method #1 ... Using wide hand clamp (e.g., from Harbor Freight) ... Making sure the ribbon cable stays in position, press the two halves together with the hand vise until the connector pins "bite" through the wires and the ends of the thinner plastic clamp snap onto the end knobs of the connector.
Pressing Method #2 ... Using a bench vise (preferred method) ... Making sure the ribbon cable stays in position, press the two halves together with the bench vise until the connector pins "bite" through the wires and the ends of the thinner plastic clamp snap onto the end knobs of the connector.
NOTE: Before you start, be aware that Cable 6 (SR Power) really needs to be about 6" long, not 3" as supplied with the initial run of kits. We're now shipping a 6" cable, and we're sending a 6" replacement ribbon cable in the Service Pack ... But if you want to make progress right now, just grab two 6" lengths of hookup wire or ribbon cable and use it instead of the 3" ribbon cable provided. The cable just supplies 12V power (~300ma) to the SR-base - no special precautions are necessary.
STEP 3: Separate the wires at each end of each cable such that about 1" of each wire in the ribbon cable is free and separate.
STEP 5: Organize the supplied ribbon cables according to the diagram above for the right length of cable, the right connector for each end, and the red and blue shrink tubing.
5a) One way of organizing things is to get a piece of paper and put down 5 lengths of double-sticky tape. This will hold the cables in position.
5b) Label each one so you know which cable is which: Cable 2 through Cable 6. Go in the order of the diagram above - it will be a big help!
5c) Press each cable down along its respective "row of tape" on the paper.
5d) Cut the length of RED heat shrink tubing into 5 pieces. Each one should be no longer than 1/4" .. actually a tad less than this will make it easier for you. The purpose of the red shrink is to denote "pin 1" on each connector, and to protect the bare wire connection you will make to those pins.
5e) Cut the length of BLUE heat shrink tubing into 11 pieces. Each one should be no longer than 1/4" .. actually a tad less than this will make it easier for you. The purpose of the blue shrink is to denote "the other pins" on each connector, and to protect the bare wire connection you will make to those pins.
6a) Insert the ends of the cables through the hole in the rear of the chassis such that the 15-pin D-style connector is on the outside of the chassis. Attach the D-style connector using the #4-40 screws and nuts provided in the External Cable bag.
6b) With the subchassis (and I/O board attached to it) completely loose (not yet attached to the chassis), attach cable #3 to the DSP board pinheader P9, and cable #5 to the DSP board pinheader P8, as illustrated in the Board Interconnect diagram. Take care to orient pin 1 of each connector properly, as indicated the in the Interconnect diagram.
6e) Attach the subchassis assembly to the chassis using the #4 hardware provided (two #4-40 screws & nuts on the rear panel, and two black #4 self-tapping screws on the chassis bottom.) Again, ensure that the three cables are freely going through the slots at the bottom edge of the subchassis.
6f) Attach the remaining three cables to the DSP board: cable #2 to P12 and cable #4 to P10. As before, ensure proper orientation of the connectors as illustrated in the Board Interconnect diagram. Also be sure to route these cables through the slots at the top edge of the subchassis such that they do not get pinched when the Cube's cover is installed.
6g) Using your index finger, push the connector on the loose end of the 40-wire Cable #1 firmly onto its mating pinheader of the I/O board.

Standing Down: From Warrior to Civilian—Book Review
By Sharon Crowley
This book review by Dr. Jim Thurman, political science professor at Central Wyoming College/University of Wyoming, was published in HMU: Dialogues, the newsletter of Harrison Middleton University.
You are Odysseus! Ah, dear child! I could not see you until now . . . —The Odyssey, Book 19
Reading histories of the world's various nations and peoples, one may be struck by the repetition of phrases recounting how one group or another was "a warlike people…" Our histories appear devoid of groups renowned for their gentleness, or passive nature. Long periods of peace are noted as exceptional.
Since existing peoples all seem to have been "warlike" in their past, it seems likely, albeit tragic, that groups not sufficiently warlike have been forgotten to history; conquered or annihilated. Standing Down: From Warrior to Civilian, an anthology from the Great Books Foundation, reflects the scourge of humanity's warlike past and present.
Standing Down provides the reader a syntopical approach to this critical sphere. Like Citizens of the World, a syntopical volume on human rights, and other similar editions from the Foundation, Standing Down covers a wide range of time, place, conflict, and related themes. Selections range from ancient classics like Homer's Iliad and The Melian Dialogue of Thucydides, to those of more modern fame, such as Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade, to recent accounts of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The styles found in Standing Down run the gamut from fiction, such as Tolstoy's War and Peace, to Tim O'Brien's brilliant, barely fictional, mostly autobiographical The Things They Carried, to the more purely factual reporting of journalists Eric Sevareid and Ernie Pyle. Some selections are all about combat, while others, like Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, are more peripheral—if no less important. Caregiving, patriotism, the role of civilians, and grieving are examples of themes that extend beyond the myopic attention to combat sometimes found in works of this type. The selections are international in character, but mostly represent (with the surprising omission of the Korean War) the experiences of American servicemen and women in other major conflicts.
As the title suggests, Standing Down: From Warrior to Civilian was compiled not only to focus on war, but with the expressed purposed of assisting veterans in the often Herculean (or perhaps Odyssean) challenge of readjusting to civilian life. In a time when rapid air travel allows combatants the bewildering experience of being transported from a war zone to a placid home in the suburbs in a matter of hours—gone are the days of spending a few weeks on a ship, a chance to decompress before the homecoming—any attempt to ease the transition is worthwhile, for soldiers, their families, and for society. The value of Standing Down in facilitating this metamorphosis is difficult for this reviewer to access, and is sure to vary depending on the needs of returning soldiers. That said, Donald Whitfield and the Great Books Foundation have produced a collection of classics, and future classics, whose broad scope of time, place, and theme makes Standing Down a valued resource, not just for veterans, but for anyone wishing to examine, discuss, and better understand the many facets of war.
Dr. Jim Thurman is a veteran of three decades of military service, in the U.S. Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard, Air National Guard, and U.S. Navy Reserve. The term "soldiers" is used here to refer to all soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.

CINE SIN FRONTERAS AT MEXICAN CONSULATE THIS FRIDAY
Latin American Cinemateca of Los Angeles presents
Cine Sin Fronteras at Mexican Consulate of Los Angeles FREE EVENT!
Contemporary/experimental films from Morelia International Film Festival
"Refugio(Refuge)" & "La selva negra" (The Modern Jungle)
Vesper Public Relations. Los Angeles, CA. Latin American Cinemateca of Los Angeles (LACLA) will present the films "Refugio" (Refuge) & "La selva negra" (The Modern Jungle) on Friday 08 September 2017.
Cine Sin Fronteras is a mini film festival experience with beverages, music, special guest Q&A, presented at the Mexican Consulate of Los Angeles.
Refugio (Refuge) is a short film that tells the stories of Amalia and Roberto, two Guatemalan refugees who fled on foot to the Mexican state of Campeche on the Yucatan peninsula. Like many other Guatemalan refugees (36,000 of them) Amalia and Roberto fled Guatemala's three decade long civil war where atrocities and civilian massacres were perpetrated by both the army and the guerrilla fighters. Narrated in the first person, the directors of this documentary introduce us to the universe of these refugees who, despite their trauma, have reconstructed their lives, identities, and created a new community in Mexico. Co-directed by Eloi Chavez and Mayra Caal Gaspar.
Watch Trailer: https://vimeo.com/124243762
La selva negra (The Modern Jungle) is a portrait of globalization filtered through the fever dream of a Mexican shaman, Don Juan, who falls under the spell of a pyramid-scheme-marketed nutritional supplement. Juan's neighbor Carmen lives simply, in harmony with the land her martyred husband paid for with his life. This film documents their struggles and encounters with outside forces: from capitalism and commodity fetish, to the culture of cinema, including conflicts with the directors of this film. Co-directed by Charles Fairbanks and Saul Kak.

MAKING HISTORY one brushstroke at a time...
From Paris to Venice to Rome, Europe's most iconic cities have played host to magnificent ceremonies and dramatic events—and artists have been there to record them. During the eighteenth century, princes, popes, and ambassadors commissioned master painters such as Canaletto and Panini to record memorable moments, from the Venetian carnival to eruptions of Vesuvius, inspiring what became the golden age of view paintings.
This first exhibition focusing on views of historic events includes more than 40 works, many never seen before in the U.S. These paintings turn the viewer into an eyewitness on the scene, bringing the spectacle and drama of history to life.
Visit the Getty Center in May and enjoy this great exhibition!
1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049
Thursday 10AM–5:30PM
Friday 10AM–5:30PM
Sunday 10AM–5:30PM
Tuesday 10AM–5:30PM
Wednesday 10AM–5:30PM
This exhibition has been co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. It is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

Q: API Messenger Get conversations from plateform instagram Using the API graph messenger for retrieving conversations on business account Instagram which has less than 1000 followers.
Using Page token, it returns an empty data with platform=instagram like below:
https://graph.facebook.com/v11.0/168686456992372/conversations?platform=instagram
Messenger has already announced that the API is expanding for all businesses on Instagram.
Please If someone has an idea how to solve this issue, it's very helpful
Thank you so much
best Regard

A: I use this endpoint.
[your_page_id]/conversations?fields=messages{from,to,message,created_time,id}&platform=instagram

You will get conversations from ig.
required:
- instagram_basic
- instagram_manage_comments
- instagram_manage_messages
- pages_manage_metadata
- pages_messaging
- read_page_mailboxes

A: After a long search, it turned out to be impossible without getting Advanced Acccess verification for your app for the scope instagram_manage_messages as indicated at docs:

While the app is in development mode/standard access, all Instagram Messaging APIs (Send API, Webhook, Conversation API, etc.) will only work for users that have a role in the app.
...
...

Conversation API will only be showing threads/messages for users that have a role in the app.

I might wrong in my conclusion though.

A: As per the official documentation of Facebook, currently we cannot fetch messages of our Instagram business account.

Limitations:
Instagram Messaging is available for all Instagram Professional accounts for businesses. However, currently, Instagram Messaging is only available for Instagram Professional accounts for Creators with less than 500k followers.

The Graffiti King – the masterpieces of Banksy in New York
- November 11, 2020November 11, 2020 - Nina Keese
Banksy is back in the spotlight. And this time in New York, with a visit to the city on his own Instagram account. Banksy has come to town in search of a long-term home to house an entire exhibition on a city street. During a stay in New York titled "Better Out Than In," the elusive artist documented and revealed at least one day of work on Instagram to ensure his authenticity. Here is the best of Banksy in New York!
The First one
The comments ranged from predominantly political to black humor and satire. There were comments like: "What happens to Banksy's artwork on the streets of New York five years later? The public reaction to his work in recent years has been unpredictable. It caused controversy not only among the artist's fans but also within the art world itself. We are # I took some of the best photos and videos of what Banksy did in New York. Here are his thoughts on what happened and what he did.
It is currently located in New York City, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Near the corner of Fifth Avenue and Sixth Street in Manhattan.
The Next One
The piece, painted on a roller shutter, imitates classic New York graffiti with the words "This is New York Accent". And the artist writes in serif under the stencil. For hours, the piece was defaced with tags and angry messages. Many saw it as a sign of the city's lack of respect for the art and an insult.
October 3rd
The October 3 piece, which is on 24th Street near 6th Avenue, shows a dog peeing on a fire hydrant, complete with a bubble that reads: "This is New York Accent.
The work is accompanied by a satirical radio play that imitates the style of a museum tour. In a tone that makes fun of the nature of the art world, he says, "Look at all the people in the museum, all these people with all this money and all this power, and then you're in the wrong place.
On October 9, the artist unveiled a new, elaborate, politically charged mural depicting armed soldiers on horses painting over an empty crowd of cars and trailers. The mural is accompanied by a disturbing audio recording of soldiers fighting, taken from a video of the US invasion of Afghanistan in the early 1990s. He also inspired a man to found the Banksy Restoration Society and took on the task of removing traces that defaced his work. Soon the work was tagged with other artists "work, and he was also blamed for painting traces that defaced his work.
The cars were eventually dismantled and towed away to prevent further defacing, but not before the mural was repainted.
Someone added a beard to the figure before he was pulled to safety, and the artist painted more pictures on the other blocks. It later emerged that the picture was a 1950s photograph of Berni Schoenfield. The artist's work "12 October" from Kupferplatz 7 shows a Catholic priest resting his head on his hands against a red background and placing his hand over it.
An unfinished version of the piece was also found in Brooklyn, but it is also protected by perspex. The artist's work, painted on the same block as the first two towers on September 11, 2001, is certainly the most controversial in the series. It shows an orange flower placed in front of one of the northern towers where an airplane hit the north tower.
Overnight, the place became a shrine where people laid flowers and the piece was protected by perspex. Eventually, it was stolen and someone painted over it, but it is still there, protected and protected, even though someone stole it.
The piece, which was released on October 17 on Cook Street and Graham Avenue in Williamsburg, features two women in traditional Japanese clothing chatting on a bridge and a bonsai tree sprouting from the earth. Some interpreted the work as offensive and played with geisha stereotypes and exoticism of Eastern culture.
When the play sparked controversy, some described the work as racially charged and suggested that people of color should not be subtly demeaned, implicitly suggesting a low-level, uneducated and criminal nature. The piece is covered with Plexiglas and metal roller doors have been installed for safety.
The October 24 painting, painted by Larry Flynt, shows a man in a tuxedo holding a flower with the caption "Waiting for Vain. The piece, however, remains intact and will be on display in 2018, according to the New York City Museum of Art.
The club put its security outside the building to take photos with the players, and shortly after, the club issued a statement saying it planned to remove the piece to protect it. The painting remains in an unknown location, along with several other works from the New York City Museum of Art.
The painting was painted by a woman wearing a hat and mask and is painted on a wall previously covered in graffiti that read: "This page contains a blocked message. The piece, created in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, was painted over the walls, which had previously been covered with graffiti that read "The site of the attacks, a page that contained blocked messages. Banksy wrote that the new play should be an op-ed for The New York Times, and posted a rejected editorial criticizing One World Trade Center as too bland, spineless and safe. He argued that "this building is a monument to those who lost their lives on 9 September 2001, and the innocence of the terrorists was a sign that they had won.
Is Banksy in New York? Yes? No? Is he going to return soon? Is he into 3D art?

A man who jumped out of a freezer and threatened employees with a knife at a New York City brunch spot and then died was a suspected cold-case killer who had just been released from jail in Boston, authorities revealed on Monday.
Carlton Henderson screamed "Away from me, Satan!" as he rushed out of the walk-in freezer at Sarabeth's on Manhattan's Upper West Side Sunday morning, police said. Kitchen employees stripped away the knife and took him to the floor, police said, and he went into cardiac arrest.
Henderson was facing murder charges in the 1988 shooting deaths of 26-year-old William Medina and 22-year-old Antonio Dos Reis.
Henderson, 54, of Cave Creek, Arizona, got out of jail last Wednesday when a judge threw out key evidence in the pending double-murder case and ordered him released on his own recognizance.
Judge Janet Sanders said Henderson's 1993 statements suggesting his involvement in the 1988 killings were inadmissible because he and investigators had an understanding that they couldn't be used against him.
Henderson was looking to trade the information for a reduction in his 15-year prison sentence on drug and gun charges, Sanders wrote, and investigators treated him as a cooperating witness - not a target or a suspect - in his 55 hours of questioning.
Prosecutors argued such an informal immunity agreement, known as a proffer, would have been made in writing and no corroborating paperwork has been found.
Police arrested Henderson in St. Louis, Missouri, in June 2017 after bullets from the Boston killings were matched to a gun recovered in a fatal shooting in Miami in 1993.
U.S. President Donald Trump met with Twitter Inc Chief Executive Jack Dorsey on April 23 and spent a significant time questioning him about why he had lost some Twitter followers, a person briefed on the matter said.
The Turkish manufacturing industry's capacity utilization rate rose in April from the previous month, the country's Central Bank said on April 24.
