Two new photoshoots
Written by Luciana | Posted on 9 August 2017 | 0
I have updated the gallery with two new photoshoots Kirsten took alongside Sofia Coppola when promoting The Beguiled, one for Variety and other for LA Times.
Photoshoots from 2017 > Set 005
Queen of the Wood Nymphs
Who else but Kirsten Dunst could star in the Rodarte sisters' trippy first film?
By Amy Larocca for NY Mag
Three great friends — the actress Kirsten Dunst and Laura and Kate Mulleavy, the fashion-designing wonder siblings behind the craft-meets-high-fashion line Rodarte — are sitting in a booth at Smoke House, an old-school Hollywood place with red leather booths and headshots on the wall just across from the Warner Bros. lot in the valley. They are discussing Woodshock, a dreamy, trippy feature film — a meditation on grief, destruction, and psychedelic drugs — that will be released September 22. The movie was written and directed by the Mulleavys; Dunst served as an executive producer and the film's star.
"We went on a trip to Florence together in about 2011," Laura says. The sisters had already drafted a short version of a script, "and we drank so much limoncello and we started talking about it."
"We're all so emotionally interconnected," Kate explains.
"I was the first actress to wear their clothes," says Dunst. "It was while I was doing press for Spider-Man, and it was this black dress with chains that it turns out were sewn by their mother, and they sent me a box of trinkets — we were all just so excited."
"Artistically, I think you just meet someone you're supposed to work with," Kate says. Both sisters are big talkers: articulate in describing their intentions and their art. Dunst is a bit more reserved. "Laura and I are a very internal network, so for me, writing a script, we didn't talk to anyone about it," says Kate. "So for us to sit down with Kirsten and say, 'Let's get through a really early state of something,' that was a big deal."

Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning for 'The Beguiled' at Dazed Magazine
Written by Luciana | Posted on 19 June 2017 | 0
Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning and Sofia Coppola are on cover of Dazed Magazine's summer issue. You can buy a copy of the most recent issue here.
About two thirds of the way into The Beguiled, Sofia Coppola's new American civil war-set gothic western, something happens: the sexual tension that's been simmering at an all-girls boarding academy crescendos into something explosive, throttling the film into a barbarous and gruesome third act. It is the great cinematic moment that pivots the story away from what you think it's going to be towards something unthinkable, where nothing short of life and death hangs in the balance. But you try telling Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning that.
"Elle was doing booty dance moves upstairs and we were just out of control," recalls Kirsten Dunst, who stars as Edwina, the forlorn and innocent schoolteacher to Elle Fanning's more scheming and lustful student, Alicia. "We were just having too much fun in those nightgowns."
Interviews Photoshoots
Kirsten Dunst for LA Times: "Peggy is a Complete nutjob"
Written by Luciana | Posted on 8 July 2016 | 0
LA Times' The Envelope did a series of video interviews with some Emmy contenders, and they have the video published on their website. They also published additional talking on their website, which you can read below.
We hadn't seen you much before "Fargo." Had you made a conscious decision to take something of a break?
I'm someone who waits. And my manager will be like, "You need to work! Look at this script!" But I can't do it. I physically can't do it. I think it's because I've been working so long that I'm kind of at a normal person's retirement age.
You've been acting for 30 years …
I started when I was 3 and I just turned 34. I should be a retiree! I'm tired! I'm not hustling. I'm happy to spend my summer off and then work with Sofia [Coppola] in the fall. Do I need to squeeze another project in there? No!
The projects you have made lately have been independent films …
… which don't pay much. And no one sees. That was what was amazing about "Fargo." My mom's saying, "I went to Bloomingdale's and everyone's telling me how much they loved 'Fargo.'" It's been awhile since anyone has said anything to her.
No Lars von Trier fans in her circle?
[Laughs] I remember I went to that same Bloomingdale's at the Fashion Square mall in the Valley and I was perusing the shoe section and one of the women came up to me, sweetly, but also curt too, saying, "I miss you in film." And meanwhile I had done "Melancholia." I had done films, just not the kind normal audiences would ever seek out and see. So doing "Fargo" was such a relief. People were actually seeing my work.
You spent six months filming "Fargo" in Calgary. Allison Tolman told me Bob Odenkirk was a great advance scout in the first season, finding the bookstore and the good restaurants …
Oh, I found the good restaurant. Model Milk. Such an odd name. We also found the casino. I won a lot of money! I love gambling, but I'm not bad with my money at all. I will take like $300, put it aside and only gamble with that. I'm very conservative. If I win, I walk away for sure. And I won over $1,000 in under two minutes playing slots.
No wonder you don't need to work. You can fall back on gambling!
[Laughs] I'm not that big of a gambler! I gambled twice over the course of the past year.
It sounds like watching "Fargo" was something of a family activity with you and your mom and your brother.
My only wish is that my grandma could have seen it. She's from Minnesota and she passed away before I did all this. That was the most heartbreaking thing for me watching it. My grandma would have gotten such a kick out of "Fargo." We were very close. I was born on her birthday.
Did you incorporate her at all in your work on the show?
Oh, I used everything. A little dash of my grandmother. My dreams. Things that annoy me. People on set. I used everything possible to give my character an inner life that felt grounded. But it's not like I felt my grandmother's presence on set. I did have one blatant moment with her though … with a hummingbird. I was driving home from a friend's house and this hummingbird was in the middle of the street and it wouldn't move. And it forced me to stop my car. I drove home and told my mom what happened because that's not in the nature of a hummingbird to do that. They're always dashing around. And my mom realized that it was the day my grandma passed. So I think it was my grandma saying "hi."

Kirsten Covers InStyle UK
Written by Luciana | Posted on 23 March 2016 | 0
Kiki is on cover of InStyle UK magazine in its May issue. She talks rejection, wedding plans and trying to remain "normal" in Hollywood.
On not winning a Golden Globe for her performance aged 12 in Interview With The Vampire…
'Everyone told me, "You're definitely going to win." And I believed them,' she recalls of the 1995 ceremony. That night, she wore an off-the-shoulder burgundy velvet dress with dainty pearls and sheer black stockings that hid her knobbly, pre-adolescent knees. 'Then, they didn't say my name and I cried. The people at my table were like, "Quick! Hide her face!"
On the inequality of the film business…
'If it weren't for fashion and beauty campaigns, I wouldn't have the finances to pick and choose my projects,' she says of one of the inequities of the business few females will broach. 'Literally, it's the only industry that supports women in that way.'
This issue will be on sale next March 31st!

At Fisher More High School we believe in student leadership, allowing our students an opportunity to have a voice in how we run our school and this is embedded within the ethos of the school. The school has two active councils, where all representatives are democratically elected. Members of the year council, who are also form ambassadors, meet with their Pupil Progress leader every half term. Two representatives from the Year group are elected onto the Student Council, which meet termly as well as feeding back to Senior Management and Governors.
Students are encouraged to take an active role in discussing teaching and learning as well as initiatives and projects that help with the progress of the school.
We were delighted to welcome Lyle Davy back to the school. Lyle is a former student who is the youngest elected councillor in Europe. Lyle spoke to the year 7 council about the responsibilities of representing a group of people and discussed the qualities that are required to do the job.
The students have made an exceptional start in their first term in office and have suggested and overseen a number of initiatives all ready.

Флавије Мар. Петар Теодор Валентин Рустициус Бораид Герман Јустин, једноставно и опште познат као Јустин (  ,    ; . године) био је источноримски (византијски) аристократа и генерал. Члан Јустинијанове династије и нећак цара Јустинијана I ( . године), постављен је за једног од последњих римских конзула 540. године, пре него што је преузео више војне команде на Балкану и у Лазици. Борио се против Словена, Сасанидских Персијанаца и надгледао прве контакте Византијског царства са Аварима. У време Јустинијанове смрти, на њега се гледало као на вероватног наследника, али га је његов рођак Јустин II ( . године), протерао у Египат, где је и убијен.

Биографија

Младост и кампање
Јустин је рођен око 525. године, најстарији је син Германа и његове жене Пасаре . Герман је био рођак византијског цара Јустинијана I ( . године) и тиме члан шире Јустинијанове династије и рођак Јустинијановог наследника, цара Јустина II ( . године).  Године 540. врло млад је именован за обичног конзула; илустрован је као голобрад у свом конзуларном диптиху, а Прокопије девет година касније помиње га као "младића". У овом тренутку већ је носио титулу вир иллустрис и почасну функцију Комес доместикорум . Исте године је пратио свог оца на исток против Сасанидских Персијанаца, али није видео никакву акцију.  Године 549. имао је кључну улогу у откривању завере за свргавање цара Јустинијана Iјерменског генерала Артабана и његових сарадника. Завереници су намеравали да убију цара Јустинијана I и његовог омиљеног војсковођу Велизара, а Германа подигну на византијски престо. Обавештен о њиховим намерама, Јустин је обавестио свог оца, који је тада рекао Марцелу, заповеднику екскубитора, што је довело до хапшења завереника.

550. године, заједно са својим млађим братом Јустинијаном, придружио се њиховом оцу у његовом походу на Остроготску Италију, али је Герман изненада умро у јесен 550. године, пре него што је војска напустила Балкан, где се окупљала.   Након тога, Јустинијанов и Германов зет, Јован, повео је војску према Салони (данашњи Сплит, Хрватска), где је евнух Нарсес преузео команду крајем 551.  Почетком 551. године, Јустин је био у кампањи под командом евнуха Схоластика који је водио кампању против словенског напада на источни Балкан. Византинци су у почетку били поражени код Адријанопоља, али су потом остварили победу, након чега су Словени напустили византијске земље.  Почетком 552. године, Јустин и Јустинијан су стављени на чело друге експедиције против словенског напада на Илирик, али су њихове снаге биле премале да би се директно супротставили јуришницима. Уместо тога, браћа су морала да се задовоље тиме да их малтретирају. Убрзо након тога, наређено им је на север да помогну Лангобардима против Гепида заједно са Аратијем, Суартуасом и Амалафридом, али Византинци су били спречени да напредују предалеко на север због потребе да сузбију верске сукобе у граду Улпијани .

Врховна команда у Лазици и на Дунаву

Године 554, сада већ искусан у војним пословима, Јустин је послат на исток у Лазику да се придружи византијским снагама под Бесом, Бузесом и Мартином . Његов први сусрет са Персијанцима био је неуспешан. Заједно са Бесом, Јустин и његове трупе су се улогорили у равници Хитрополије, у близини стратешки важне тврђаве Телефис, коју је држао Мартин. Персијски генерал Михр-Михрое је, међутим, успео да избаци Мартина из Телефиса. Мартин се повукао да би се придружио другој двојици војсковођа у Хитрополији, али тамо је опет византијска војска, која је била преспора да заузме положај, била принуђена да бежи у нереду пред Персијанцима који су напредовали, повлачећи се дуж реке Фасис до утврђеног острва Несос (Νησος, грчки за "острво").  Бесас је отпуштен из главне команде као магистер милитум пер Армениам након овог дебакла, а наследио га је Мартин са Јустином као другим командантом. Јустин није знао за Мартинову намеру да убије њиховог савезника, лазичког краља Губазеса II ; када је сазнао за то дело, био је шокиран, али није укорио Мартина јер је веровао – погрешно – да је убиство извршено по наређењу цара Јустинијана I.

Византинци су тада започели напад на персијску тврђаву Оногурис, али су били приморани да је напусте након неочекивано брзог доласка персијских снага за помоћ под Нахораганом. У пролеће 556, Јустин је био са остатком византијских снага у Несосу, када је Нахораган упао у западну Лазику, крећући се према граду Фазису. Византинци су журно кренули ка граду, успевши да га стигну пред персијском војском, а затим су наставили да га успешно бране током дуже опсаде .  После овог успеха, почетком 556. године Јустин се вратио у Несос да га чува заједно са Бузима, док је остатак војске кренуо против Мисимиана, племена које се недавно удружило са Персијанцима и убило византијског војсковођу Сотериха. Једина Јустинова активност у то време била је да пошаље једног од својих официра, Елминзура, да заузме Родополис (савремени Вартсихе) са 2.000 коњаника.  Следеће године договорено је опште примирје, које је финализовано мировним уговором 562. године

Убрзо након тога, царска истрага о Губазесовом убиству открила је Мартинову кривицу. Његови војни успеси су му поштедели живот, али су га коштали командовања; заменио га је Јустин као магистер милитум пер Армениам у пролеће 557.  У том својству је Јустин крајем 557. примио прво аварско посланство у Византијском царству. Авари, који су побегли од својих предака у централној Азији пре успона Гектурка, тражили су империјалну заштиту и земљу за насељавање. Јустин их је проследио у Цариград, где су стигли у децембру. Окренути од Царства према равницама Украјине од цара Јустинијана I, Авари су побеђивали непријатеља за непријатељем и на крају стигли до североисточне обале Дунава 561/562.  Тамо су поново наишли на Јустина, који је управо био премештен на команду квестора екерцитус који је покривао доње подунавске лимесе ( Лимес Моесиае ). У то време, Авари су захтевали да се населе на територији византијског царства у Малој Скитији, чија је одбрана била разорена недавном инвазијом Котригура коју је предводио Заберган. Овде је Јустин одиграо пресудну улогу и стекао велику славу, сазнавши за намере Авара и упозоривши цара Јустинијана I. Сходно томе, аварско посланство у Цариграду је задржано док је византијска одбрана доведена у ред. Пошто је Јустин и даље пажљиво пазио на реку Дунав, Авари су се задовољили годишњом субвенцијом коју је плаћала Византија и оставили Царство на миру још неколико година.

Изгнанство и смрт
У време смрти цара Јустинијана I 565. године, због својих титула и репутације команданта, као и близине његове војске царској престоници, био је водећи претендент на упражњени престо, заједно са својим рођаком Јустином, куролатима . Овај последњи је, међутим, већ био присутан у Цариграду, и могао је да рачуна на подршку византијског Сената, а посебно патријарха Јована Схоластика и заповедника Екскубитора Тиберија, којима је помогао да обезбеде свој положај. Тако је Јустин на брзину уздигнут на престо истог дана када је цар Јустинијан I умро.  Према савременом историчару Евагрију Схоластику, двојица Јустина су постигла споразум према којем ће онај ко буде крунисан за цара учинити другог "другим човеком" у царству. Када је цар Јустин II позвао свог рођака у Цариград, чинило се да је то разлог. Генерал је у почетку био топло примљен, али је убрзо нови цар почео да износи оптужбе против њега, отпустио је његовог телохранитеља и ставио га у кућни притвор, пре него што га је послао у изгнанство у Александрију, наводно као новог царског префекта Египта . Тамо је убијен у сну, тобож зато што је планирао да се домогне престола, а глава му је одсечена и однета у Цариград. У стварности, он је био превелика претња за новог цара да би га оставили у животу; визиготски хроничар Јован од Биклара изричито приписује убиство жени цара Јустина II, царици Софији .

What is stopping you? Call today to hear what our sales representatives have to say. After all, they are the professionals in Weber County!
Renting a dumpster, or a "roll-off," is an extremely important part of any home renovation or construction project. While it may seem like a stressful job to choose the most reliable and affordable dumpster rental companies around, Dumpsters.net will make it easy for you.
Just enter your city or zip code, and our website will give you the top recommended and best dumpster rental services locally for you. Here at Dumpsters.net, we understand the importance of local businesses, and that is why we recommend only the best, most efficient, and most importantly, locally owned rental companies nearest to you.
With thousands of satisfied customers, we sincerely hope that you will be our next.
Rental dumpsters are often referred to as "roll-offs" as they simply roll off the back of the delivery truck. It shows how they are very portable and meant for temporary use. They are rectangular in size and usually have wheels so that they can be placed in the perfect spot for the consumer. They have no lid, and are used to throw junk and waste in to over a short period of time.
These dumpsters are often used in construction projects, either at home or at a large commercial project. They can hold a variety of different types of waste and the different sizes that they come in correlate to what kind of site they are being used at.
The waste that they will hold will most likely come from a house demolition or construction, or perhaps even the demolishment of a major shopping mall. They are temporary rentals that are filled, and then the entirety of the dumpster will be picked up and driven away once the project is complete. The debris will be disposed of either at a landfill, a dump, or a recycling center depending on the location of the pick-up and the material inside of the roll-off.
These massive containers come in a few different sizes, ranging from 10-yards to 40-yards. Each different size is meant for a different purpose, job, or to hold different materials (in order to learn more about sizes, check out the page on our site where we describe the size options). Dumpsters are measured in cubic-yards and that is how the trash weight limit is determined.
If you order a roll-off, you will have it delivered by a large truck, so you will need about 60 feet of space in front of the area where you would like to have the dumpster located. The truck will slowly lower the roll-off into your desired location—but remember to place a large piece of plywood underneath the dumpster, as it helps to prevent your driveway from cracking). Not only will this piece of plywood protect your driveway from cracking, but it will also save it from getting large scrapes and scratches. Most haulers will tell you this information, but if they don't, you know now!
If you do not want to place your rental on your driveway or lawn, you can ask your local municipality whether you are allowed to store it on the street temporarily. The answer is usually no, but depending on the location, you might get lucky! Most cities will require you to receive a permit to store your dumpster on the street. But remember, you will want to keep it where it is most convenient for the construction or demolition—the street might be too far away if you have a long driveway!
There are indeed certain items that cannot be disposed of in a dumpster. Some of these items are any material containing Freon, hazardous materials, tires, etc.
The other kind of dumpster besides a roll-off is a commercial dumpster. These commercial dumpsters can be found behind restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes etc. Rather than the temporary "roll-off" dumpster, these are more permanent. They have a lid and are used as a sort of large trash can. They are emptied on a routine basis, perhaps weekly or monthly.
Now that you know the difference between these two major types of dumpsters, and all about the roll-off, contact one of your local haulers today!


Abstract: This essay performs a rhetorical cartography of ''regional accents'' to draw a map of how they articulate regions into, and out of, maps of power. First, the essay isolates the accent of neoliberalism in the constitution of regions through the use of regional trade agreements. Second, the essay tracks a socialist accent for regional power in Samir Amin's call for the Global South to execute a political strategy of ''delinking.'' Third, the essay argues that the rhetorical movement between places in protest, expressed by the Arab Spring and the Occupy Movement, invents a horizontal regional accent. For places of protest, a horizontal regional accent invents and folds regions of protest into one another to fuel the production of new places of protest. As a political subjectivity, the protester emerges in the crease of a regional fold of protest places as these places make and unmake maps of power.

People living in rural areas tend to have relatively poor health outcomes because important health-related resources (e.g., healthcare, quality food, information, people) are often not readily available to them.
Economically, it makes sense to put the resources where the people are. Scientifically, it makes sense to indicate how accessible those resources are to people in a given location to support demonstration of how our society's economics leaves some people out.
This new Census tract level characterization of geographic isolation is continuous and accounts for proximity to and the density of proximal populations. We're hopeful that it will support advancement in rural health disparities research and policy.
This web page hosts a downloadable comma separated value data file containing Census tract level isolation scores for all of the U.S. linked with the FIPS codes that identify each tract (and its state and county).

Federal Health Care Crackdown in 2018 - Oberheiden, P.C.
In 2017, the federal government made clear that its vigorous efforts to combat the health care fraud will not be slowing down any time soon. Last year we saw the largest ever takedown involving alleged health care fraud, and the White House and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced their clear intention to heavily prosecute both fraud artists and legitimate health care providers suspected of fraud, waste, and abuse.
For health care providers in America, this presents a very real concern. The penalties for health care fraud are severe, and authorities such as the DOJ are increasingly relying on data analytics and other computerized methods to identify targets for federal investigations. So, as a practitioner, administrator, or health care company executive, what do you need to do to prepare for 2018?
On July 13, 2017, the DOJ announced that it was pursuing charges against 412 individuals, including 115 doctors and other licensed professionals, as part of the nation's largest-ever health care fraud takedown. The sting operation made national headlines, and the alleged fraud cost the government a reported $1.3 billion.
With the results of this and other major takedowns in 2017, health care providers can expect federal authorities to continue to aggressively pursue large-scale health care fraud schemes in 2018. While providers in health care fraud "hot spots" such as those listed above are almost certain to be at risk for a federal investigation, providers in other locations around the country will need to be on high alert as well. All providers should immediately implement comprehensive compliance programs – and prepare proactive defensive strategies as well.
For physicians, clinics, pharmacies, hospices, and other providers that deal with opioid and narcotic medications, the government's dedication of resources to fighting opioid fraud and abuse means that investigations are likely to become far more frequent during 2018. In order to minimize the burdens of these investigations, providers should be prepared to affirmatively demonstrate that their prescription and billing practices comply with federal law.
During the first week of 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that he was rescinding guidance instituted during the Obama administration which instructed federal prosecutors not to prioritize cases against individuals and businesses that used and dispensed marijuana in compliance with state law. This guidance paved the way for more than half of all states to legalize medical marijuana, and providers around the country have relied on this guidance to offer legal cannabis to their patients.
Now, the future of medical marijuana in the United States is uncertain. Advocates have strongly decried the reversal of federal policy, while some have suggested that the decision is more likely to lead to the federal legalization of medical marijuana. However, regardless of what the future may hold, for now, the only thing that is clear is that health care providers that prescribe medical marijuana may need to reconsider the risk of federal prosecution.
While major takedowns dominate the headlines, the vast majority of Medicare audits and health care fraud investigations target smaller providers. With the DOJ's and other agencies' broad mandates to combat waste and abuse targeting Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and other government benefit programs, any suspected instance of fraud will have the potential to garner federal law enforcement authorities' attention in 2018.
Oftentimes, audits and investigations targeting smaller providers are the result of honest mistakes and administrative errors. With most providers relying heavily on their program eligibility, any billing or prescription practices that put their eligibility at stake will not be worth the risk involved. Yet, auditors and investigators will still vigorously pursue charges, and it will be up to smaller providers to show that they are not guilty of federal health care fraud.
When investigations lead to charges, health care providers must match their defense strategies to the potential penalties that are on the table. In criminal health care fraud cases, providers can face enormous financial liability, program exclusion, and even federal incarceration. While being prosecuted civilly means that prison time is not a concern, being found civilly liable for health care fraud can still have long-term (and potentially practice-threatening) consequences.
As a result of the government's health care crackdown, providers facing charges in 2018 can expect to face substantial penalties when targeted in civil and criminal health care fraud prosecutions. Avoiding punishment will require early intervention in the government's investigation and a strategic defense tailored to the specific facts and allegations at hand.

It's the kind of beautiful spring day in Nashville that makes you want to take your steel guitar out on the back porch and play til CMT starts playing country again!
Here's some more things to ponder … if you want to improve your playing, model great players. Learn their techniques but don't copy them note for note. Listen for execution. There are several ways to execute a note … play it a step flat and pop the pedal or "feather" the pedal for a flavorful, soulful effect. These are Lloyd Green and Tommy White techniques that give steel guitar a unique seasoning not caught by other instruments. These guys are masters of the instrument and there is much to be learned.
Steel guitar is a musical voice that you are using to communicate what's going on in your mind to the mind of the listener. The greatest players are the ones who are the greatest communicators. What you say and how well you say it determines how great you'll be. Remember, I'm not saying copy these guys note for note. Why say a bunch of things somebody else has already said? I'm saying watch and learn from the techniques they use and add to your own unique style. The audience wants to hear what you have to say and you should say it the best you can and always strive to say it better.

"There's something magnificent about a top-level artist alone with a piano, immersed in a mood of quiet nights, under quiet stars� 'Wherever You Are�Midnight Moods for Solo Piano' is Denny Zeitlin's most intimate and contemplative sets of songs, and perhaps the loveliest work from a top jazz pianist at the height of his expressive powers."
Dan McClenaghan, allaboutjazz.com
"His outstanding 2012 album, 'Wherever You Are (Midnight Moods for Solo Piano)' establishes his bona fides as a masterful postmodern balladeer in the general continuum of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett."
Will Friedwald, Wall Street Journal
"…'Wherever You Are: Midnight Moods for Solo Piano', is his 3rd unaccompanied recording in less than 2 years for the Sunnyside label. Before you start accusing the pianist of overkill, the CDs are different in many respects (material, pacing, recording venues)--what they have in common is the excellent musicianship and fertile mind of an artist who never compromises his ideals. What is different with the new recording is that the program consists entirely of ballads… Yet, nothing is what you'd expect other than the pianist will explore avenues others have never thought to use. He never abandons the melody but his harmonies are often surprising while he will slip into (and out of) a rhythmic pattern so naturally it might take you a moment to notice…'Wherever You Are' is indeed an album of 'Midnight Moods' yet this is not dark nor foreboding music. Instead, Denny Zeitlin aims for the heart of the listener by finding the emotional center of each song and creating his own world. Sit with someone you love or by yourself and allow this music to take you away from the humdrum, from the apparent darkness of the everyday world and into a much quieter place."

"Bay-area psychiatrist/pianist Denny Zeitlin not only leads volcanic trios but is one of the pre-eminent soloists in modern jazz�the title ['Midnight Moods For Solo Piano'] does not do justice to the sophistication of these arrangements and two original works that fill the disc�music that transcends time and place. Denny Zeitlin strikes the universal chords of love lost and found, creating moods for whenever, wherever you are."
Andrea Canter, jazzpolice.com
"The subtitle of this recording, 'Midnight Moods for Solo Piano', is proof that albums of pretty, nocturnal ballads can be probing, adventurous, and creative. Denny Zeitlin explores well-chosen standards from the American Songbook, a Jobim medley, and two originals. With patient intensity, within a rapt atmosphere, he continuously discovers fresh ideas in these old songs�'Goodbye' is one of the great recent interpretations of Gordon Jenkins's masterpiece, diversified with personal content but true to the song's dramatic announcement of loss� the nine minute 'Last Night When We Were Young' is an erudite, exhaustive treatise in barely moving waves of rubato as Zeitlin pursues distant implications of Harold Arlen's quintessentially romantic song� his 'midnight mood' is deep and never broken. These 10 pieces are like a suite, a single tide containing crosscurrents of austere emotion. Zeitlin recorded Wherever You Are in his home studio, but it doesn't sound like it. The sonic portrait is close and clear and dynamic, and provides a complete experience of this rich, intelligent, music."
Thomas Conrad Stereophile Magazine 10/12/12
"�the tunes all do seem to connect to each other; as soon as 'Goodbye' fades away into the night, the gentle chimes of 'Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars/How Insensitive' gently rise like a sliver of a moon. Zeitlin�s touch and exploratory skills on these pieces feel like gentle rabbit trails during a conversation, slowly drifting away from the main point, creating a new main point, and then returning to what we were talking about originally. Lot�s to learn about sounds and thoughts on this ruminating release."
George Harris, jazzweekly.com
"Equally at home performing with his working trio and as a solo pianist, Zeitlin focuses on the latter in this striking session which he recorded himself in his home studio. His imaginative arrangements of the familiar standards that make up much of this collection put them into a new light, perfect for late-night listening with someone special�This compelling solo piano CD is destined to become one of Denny Zeitlin's landmark recordings."
Ken Dryden, allmusic.com
"...Here, Denny plays solo piano and sticks exclusively to ballads. Denny's most recent albums have been spiritual tours de force, with cascades of musical exploration. Here, it's Denny in slow motion, affording an opportunity to hear his voicings up close and learn how he builds ideas on the backs of eight standards and two originals."
Marc Myers, jazzwax.com
"Solo piano recordings can be the equivalent of tap dancing in a musical mine field for some artists. Denny Zeitlin reconfirms his ability to interpret a ballad as well as any pianist today� Zeitlin's true gift is his keen sense of lyrical direction and harmonic balance when it comes to working without a net� There is a buoyant ebb and flow to the release with well paced and a thoughtful emotional quality to the melodic course charted� one would be hard pressed not to find this as one of Denny Zeitlin's most entertaining releases to date [and] one of the more entertaining for the year."

Q: How can I get the hash of a commit immediately before a faulty commit? A while back there was a commit that pushed some deletes, a few good, a few not so good.  It is time to restore the deletes that should not have happend.  The following line does come up with a list of all the files that need to be restored:
git show --pretty="" --name-only 9168052f32 | grep -v Mobile-Apps-SDK

The problem I am running into is that hash is when it was deleted.  My understanding is that to restore the file that was deleted what is needed is the hash BEFORE the delete.
git log --follow --pretty=format:"%h" -- config/manifest.json
9168052
11886af
b6b90ab

shows me the list of hashes for one of the files, is there a way to get the second hash, 11886af so that in one long cmd I can restore all the files?

A: Your 9168052f32 commit will have a parent that you can access using 9168052f32^. That will be the previous commit. If that's the case, you can fish them out from there.

9 arrested over explosives in Hong Kong
It comes as a series of rallies take place in the lead up to Hong Kong legislature's vote on Friday on the divisive roadmap for the city's electoral system

HONG KONG, China – Hong Kong police arrested on Monday, June 15, nine people involved in making explosives days ahead of a vote on a controversial political reform package. One of them claimed he belongs to a "radical group."
Police would not name the group or specify motives but said that maps of central districts of Hong Kong had been found and warned anyone taking part in public gatherings to stay away from "violent protesters."
It comes as a series of rallies take place in the lead up to Hong Kong legislature's vote on Friday on the divisive roadmap for the city's electoral system.
"The operation... resulted in the arrest of nine Hong Kong citizens for the offence of conspiracy to manufacture explosives," Au Chin-chau, superintendent of the organised crime and triad bureau, told reporters.
"During police inquiries someone claimed to be a member of a local radical organisation," said Au.
Au would not clarify how many of the group belonged to the organisation, but said "not all".
He described the group as a "local syndicate involved in manufacturing explosives".
The South China Morning Post and the Oriental Daily had earlier said those arrested were activists from pro-democracy "localist" groups, which have come into the spotlight in recent months.
Such groups are frustrated with the lack of progress on electoral reform and have argued that Hong Kong should distance itself from Beijing to forge its own political future.
Five men and four women were arrested aged 21 to 34 years old.
Chemicals were seized at an abandoned television studio in the eastern district of Sai Kung, with some detonated at the scene.
A house search later led to the seizure of ingredients which could be used to make TATP, "a form of high explosive", said Au.
Maps of the central neighbourhoods of Wan Chai and Admiralty were also found, as well as a number of air rifles.
Both locations were at the heart of last year's mass pro-democracy rallies and the government complex is in Admiralty.
Protest risk
The reform bill to be voted on lays out a proposal for choosing the city's next leader by public vote for the first time in 2017.
But it sticks to a ruling from Beijing which stipulates that candidates must be vetted by a loyalist committee.
That ruling sparked mass rallies and roadblocks towards the end of last year, with campaigners dismissing it as "fake democracy."
Pro-democracy legislators are vowing to block the proposal.
Au did not directly link the arrests to the protests, but warned: "Should there be any confrontations, citizens should protect their own safety, leave the scene at once and maintain a safe distance with the violent protesters."
The atmosphere was calm outside the legislature Monday night, where around 200 people gathered to listen to speeches.
Some protesters distanced themselves from radical groups but also expressed scepticism over the arrests.
"They (the authorities) are making a fuss out of it... trying to make some people stop coming out to oppose fake democracy. But being radical is not popular," said David Wong, 51.
"I'm not surprised if radical groups exist," added Toppy Au, 50. "I'm not part of it but... everyone is angry in Hong Kong. Our fate is controlled by Beijing."
Hong Kong is semi-autonomous after being handed back to China by Britain in 1997 and sees much greater freedoms than on the mainland, but there are fears that those are being eroded.
Officials from two localist groups told AFP they had no knowledge of the arrests and did not condone violence.
"Police said localist activists are making bombs, but I am not sure if it's real or not. We have nothing to do with that," said Jon Ho of Hong Kong Localism Power.
People Power's Tam Tak-chi added: "People Power did not do that. Our group does not believe in violence." – Laura Mannering and Dennis Chong, AFP/Rappler.com

Conspiracy to be Free: A Political History of Russell Means
On October 22, 2012, Indian Country lost one of our most controversial and outspoken leaders. Shortly after the public announcement of Russell Means' death, Internet chatter exploded with a fury of wall posts, tweets, memorials, and blogs. Most popular write-ups about this Red Power activist fail to adequately account for all of his achievements—and failures. The following is a discussion of Russell Means' life and the political events that define his legacy.
Born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Russell Means spent his early years living in San Francisco, California. During World War II, his family was one of 50,000 Native families who relocated to major urban centers for employment in the wartime industries. Russell's upbringing was largely impacted by his abusive father who complicated the formative young boy's childhood years. Despite popular television shows of "Father Knows Best" this was his only example of a Native masculinity and fatherhood.
Means first became aware about the political effects of Termination legislation at a small hole-in-the-wall Indian bar in San Francisco named "Warren's Slaughter House Bar" (from 1953-1969, House Concurrent Resolution 108 opened a floodgate of federal legislation that severed the federal trust responsibility with over 109 Native Nations). Between frequenting various haunts of the Mission District's Red Ghetto, Means moonlighted as a dance instructor. During these years Means also continued to struggle with the impact that his abusive father had on his young adult life.
Despite Means' hard upbringing and challenging relationship with his father, the two did share a rather significant experience that forever influenced Means' activism. In 1964 he and his father—along with other Bay Area Lakota—organized a little-known takeover of a recently abandoned federal prison—Alcatraz Island. While this brief occupation only lasted a few hours, the legal and tactical planning influenced another organization five years later: in 1969 the Indians of All Tribes (IAT) famed occupation of Alcatraz lasted over 19 months and signaled a new era of Red Power politics.
Even though he grew up in California, Russell traveled back and forth to South Dakota during the 1960s to spend time with relatives. Many Native families who relocated, on their own or through the BIA, during the 1940s and 1950s attempted to maintain connections to their communities. During this time Means landed a job as the director of a Community Action Program on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. After his first of four marriages failed, Means moved to Cleveland, Ohio—a BIA relocation city. His Community Action experience proved valuable when he founded the first Cleveland American Indian Center in 1969. There, Means established a credit union, a food bank, and unemployment assistance for the Native community. He also challenged Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians to change their discriminatory mascot image.
After meeting Russell Means at a conference in San Francisco, founders of the American Indian Movement ("AIM" established in 1968) saw immediate leadership potential in him. While AIM struggled early to find a voice, notoriety, and acceptance, the organization realized it needed to have a major "cause" for their activist pursuits. While in San Francisco, AIM learned more about the Alcatraz takeover, which had been organized by the Indian of All Tribes (IAT). Alcatraz, AIM leaders thought, was the perfect "cause" to join.
Although IAT had already established their political occupation of the island, AIM and Means proposed to take over the leadership of the Alcatraz occupation. IAT members, however, refused to relinquish their leadership of the student-led movement and ultimately evicted the members of AIM from the island. Even though AIM never returned to the island, they remain mistakenly connected to the history of the Alcatraz takeover. One of the greatest myths often regurgitated by historians, journalists, and scholars is that AIM led the Alcatraz takeover. But this is an absolutely false assumption.
Several other protests were erroneously credited to AIM and Russell Means. One of these includes the 1970 Thanksgiving Day protest at Plymouth Rock. The protest was organized by Wampanoag leader Frank James, who invited several Native organizations and leaders to join the Wampanoag in a day-of-mourning on the 350th Anniversary of Thanksgiving. Means took a different approach to the protest. Instead of mourning, he "seized the moment" and delivered a powerful speech while standing below a larger-than-life statue of Massasoit (former Wampanoag leader). To push their publicity agenda further, AIM activists took over the Mayflower II replica ship and buried Plymouth Rock. The press had a field day and published these photo ops. Headlines and stories emphasized the irony found in the Red Power Movement's protest of the places that symbolize the founding of America. In this coverage, AIM and Russell Means are credited with organizing the event, while very little attention is attributed to the Wampanoag men and women.
This radical theater proved quite successful for AIM with media coverage of this and other events appearing in the New York Times. In this flurry of news reporting, Russell Means shot to instant stardom as a charismatic leader within the organization. That same year (1970) he lent his support to the Mount Rushmore takeover in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This protest was led by Lehman Brightman, the Lakota and Creek Director of another Red Power coalition from San Francisco known as United Native Americans. Means assisted in the Rushmore takeover and created another media spectacle by urinating on George Washington's head. Again, many journalists credited AIM with being the leaders and organizers of the Rushmore protest, while mostly ignoring the work done by United Native Americans.
By the early 1970s, AIM had earned a reputation for successfully attracting press attention at major protests and events. In 1972, Pine Ridge Lakota resident Severt Young Bear requested AIM's assistance to protest the violent death of Raymond Yellow Thunder in the border town of Gordon, Nebraska. Young Bear knew that the media might cover an event where AIM was present, and saw this as a way to bring national awareness to Yellow Thunder's death. AIM used their connections to organize a successful economic boycott against Gordon's businesses. This ultimately cost the border town millions of dollars, and Gordon citizens quickly buckled under the economic pressure.
Following these events in 1972, Indian Country was stunned by the assassination of Akwesasne Mohawk activist Richard Oakes. Oakes was a leader in the Alcatraz, Fort Lawton, and Pit River occupations. His tragic death prompted IAT members and Hank Adams (Ft. Peck Assiniboine activist for fishing rights and Survival of American Indians Association leader) to organize a march on Washington, D.C., known widely as the "Trail of Broken Treaties Caravan." The principal organizing meeting occurred in Denver, Colorado, where AIM members joined the more established West Coast coalition. Three caravans started on the West Coast and they all converged in Washington, D.C.
After the Nixon White House refused to meet with caravan leaders they decided to camp at the BIA building. Their strategy met resistance as security and a large police force surrounded the government building. Fearing potential police brutality and lengthy arrests for taking over a federal building, the caravan leadership barricaded all of the doors and windows with old chairs, copiers, file cabinets, and even typewriters.
Once again, Russell Means used the media to garner attention for the event. He fearlessly paraded before police with a gas mask and a framed picture of Nixon that he cleverly employed as a war shield. Reporters seized upon the stark irony of the events that unfolded for six days in November 1972. During a key election year, this photo of Means appeared in newspapers across the nation. Richard Nixon, fearing bad press, brokered a deal. He offered a suitcase filled with $600,000 and amnesty for everyone who walked away from the building. Most of the negotiations that ensued are due to the leadership and determination of Hank Adams. However, the press centered their attention upon the long hair, braids, and bone chokers—as worn by Russell Means—as the "new face" of Red Power, a look coveted by activists as representing Indian pride.
The occupation of the BIA building was the first time that any federal government building had been taken over since the War of 1812. It took years before the BIA office recovered from the occupation. Following the event, both the government and the mainstream press highlighted photos of the BIA's destruction as a way to discredit all Red Power activists as militant radicals. But for Native people across the country, the BIA was an agency that represented a complicated relationship: it was both beloved and hated. During this decade many tribes depended on the agency for federal services (like education and economic development). Ultimately, AIM's association with the takeover fueled both pride and resentment among Tribal leaders who were engaged both directly and indirectly in the Red Power Movement.
AIM's role as the face of Red Power was emphasized by the media. Not long after the BIA takeover, AIM appeared back in the news after members torched the Custer County Courthouse in Custer, South Dakota, on February 6, 1973. This protest erupted as a result over the lack of justice from the public lynching of Lakota man Wesley Bad Heart Bull.
Following this event in 1973, AIM remained in the South Dakota area. By the 1970s, the Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Organization ("OSCRO" led by longtime Pine Ridge residents) organized to remove Pine Ridge Tribal Chairman, Richard "Dick" Wilson. Wilson and his unofficially deputized group of thugs, also known as the Guardians of the Oglala Nation (or "GOON" squad), bullied any and all opposition to his administration. As Tribal Chairman, Wilson used federal support and ammunition to instill a climate of terror and fear throughout Pine Ridge.
With perceived victories in Plymouth Rock, Gordon, Washington, D.C., and Custer, OSCRO recruited AIM to assist in their takeover of Wounded Knee. This was an effort to utilize AIM's notoriety as a way to grab media attention for the sake of garnering protection from the retaliation of Wilson's GOON squad.
Together, OSCRO and AIM launched a very public revolution by founding the Independent Oglala Nation in opposition to the Dick Wilson government. Quickly, their revolution for independence met serious military, state, and federal resistance with armored personnel carriers, jets, helicopters, riot-geared police, tracer rounds, and automatic weapons. After the 71-day siege at Wounded Knee, AIM fell under constant surveillance by the Counter- Intelligence Program of the FBI. Russell Means and hundreds of other AIM supporters who had any connection to Wounded Knee faced prosecution. This was another law enforcement tactic to divide and ultimately bankrupt the American Indian Movement. As AIM struggled in the courts, Dick Wilson's reign continued at Pine Ridge with hundreds of unsolved murders and drive-by shootings.
In 1974, Russell Means faced a very public trial in Minneapolis. During this time he also ran for Tribal Chair against Dick Wilson—who narrowly defeated Means by voter fraud (a Civil Rights Commission investigated the election and found Means the clear winner, yet Wilson ignored the commission's report and maintained his political office).
1975 marked a violent period in the state of South Dakota as a result of the death of two FBI field agents and, later, the death of Mi'kmaq AIM activist Ann Mae Pictou Aquash—all of which took place on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Suspecting AIM's involvement, there was an all-out war on the organization and Red Power, which also impacted other Red Power coalitions that viewed themselves as being non-violent or non-militant. But these events heightened the violence around AIM, especially after South Dakota Attorney General Bill Janklow threatened to put a bullet in the heads of their leaders. Paranoia and fear seized AIM membership and other Red Power organizations. During this era of violence, Russell Means survived twelve lengthy legal trials and multiple attempts on his life (two shootings and a stabbing).
By 1976, Russell Means appeared in a set of images not taken by the press. Instead, he posed for a series of portraits with pop icon and artist Andy Warhol. In 1978 Means joined the Longest Walk which marched from Alcatraz Island to Washington, D.C. This included a coalition of Native organizations that called for religious freedom and drew attention to the forced sterilization of Indian women, and where Russell Means challenged and publicly debated Senator Edward Kennedy.
Throughout the 1980s, Means resigned several times from AIM and also formed his own rival organization to AIM's Grand Governing Council in Minneapolis. Over the next few years Means continued to organize with the International Indian Treaty Council and Yellow Thunder Camp. In 1984, sexploitation mogul and Hustler magazine founder Larry Flynt selected Russell Means as his Vice Presidential running mate for the Republican Party ticket. Four years later, Means became the first American Indian to run for President under the Libertarian Party.
During the 1990s, Means appeared in Hollywood's rendition of James Fenmore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans, Disney's Pocahontas, and Oliver Stone's homage to cultures of violence in Natural Born Killers. While Means took heat for compromising his values by becoming the very stereotype he had previously protested against. In 1993, Means followed the success of former AIM National Chairman and Santee musician John Trudell with the release of his first album Electric Warrior. While the album never appeared on the Billboard it featured the short-lived Indian radio track "Indian Cars Go Far". Over the next few years he appeared in dozens of television sitcoms and documentaries.
By the late 1990s, the Diné Nation charged Means on assault and battery for physically abusing his much older Omaha father-in-law Leon Grant and Diné member Jeremiah Bitsui. He claimed sovereignty and exemption from Diné legal jurisdiction as a Pine Ridge citizen—an appeals court upheld a Navajo Nation Supreme Court ruling. This very public trial served as a major blemish in Means' credibility throughout Indian Country. The mere mention of his name sparked harsh reactions and many labeled him an opportunist or a leader of American Indian Movie-stars. In an effort to redeem himself, he used his reckless behavior to place Indian sovereignty rather than his violent act within national headlines. To redeem his credibility, Means returned to politics and after an unsuccessful Governor campaign in New Mexico, he once again ran for President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe at Pine Ridge.
Russell Means lectured all over the world and led a long fight against throat cancer. Initially, his doctors prescribed an aggressive surgery and chemotherapy treatment to remove the cancer–an option that would have left Means unable to speak. Refusing to lose his most powerful weapon Means elected to promote Native medicines to prevent the loss of his voice. He led an extremely public battle against cancer, yet remained active in his cause by speaking through various forms of social media—Youtube and other public gatherings. Despite a grueling battle, Indian Country watched as Russell Mean's life faded before our very eyes. Up to the end, Means continued to speak publicly last year he spoke at a conference on Wounded Knee at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Means was an entertainer—a modern trickster. He reflected the real and painful truths of our human existence. He often sparred with both mainstream American and Indian societies; he defied convention and label—he was anything but predictable. He protested against stereotypes about Indians and yet played a stereotype in popular movies.
Russell Means and the American Indian Movement are often cast in a largely mythic role, a false image supported by many scholars and popular media who continue to falsely credited AIM as the lone iconic organization of Red Power. While Means acted in many different roles, his most significant role was that of an activist.
Ultimately he will remain a controversial political figure. Years from now, historians, scholars, and the public will continue to debate Means' successes and failures as a leader and performer in the Red Power Movement. Indian Country is quickly losing many of the veterans who helped shape the American Indian political landscape during this critical era in modern American history. Russell Means' passing is an important reminder that we are rapidly losing a generation—who each in their own unique ways, maintained, promoted, and challenged the future of modern Tribal self-determination and sovereignty.

Very nicely done, Kent.
Bayard Johnson
It's good to see that historian and teacher Kent Blansett is interested in setting the record straight. As one in a position to pass knowledge along to young people, he recognizes the importance of accuracy. This is commendable.
In the interest of furthering the goal of accuracy, I'll clarify a few points about which I have personal knowledge.
First, during the BIA takeover, the occupiers were not given $600,000 to vacate the building. In fact, the Committee To Re-Elect the President (CREEP) offered the Indians $66,650 and immunity from prosecution. The money was used for travel expenses to get caravan members home to their widely scattered reservations.
The statement "OSCRO recruited AIM to assist in their takeover of Wounded Knee" is inaccurate. OSCRO invited AIM to Pine Ridge because of the reign of terror that Dick Wilson's and his GOON squads had imposed on the rez, murdering numerous Indians whose only crime was to be Traditional. This was because Traditionals opposed Wilson's plan to hand over reservation land (the Sheep Mountain Gunnery Range) to the U.S. Government. Wilson and his GOONs were armed with M-16s and free ammo from the US government. The Oglala people submitted a petition to impeach Wilson, but, presiding over his own Impeachment Hearing, Wilson threw the petition in the trash and declared the hearing adjourned. For the first time in human memory, the Seven Traditional Chiefs of the Lakota people met to decide what to do. AIM was invited to this meeting. AIM members had been pursued, threatened and harassed by federal agents and US marshals since the BIA takeover. A small army of US marshals was entrenched in Pine Ridge Village, backing up Wilson's authority. AIM members, expecting an attack, asked the Traditional Chiefs for advice. They were told to go to Wounded Knee, where the Spirits of Big Foot and his slaughtered people would protect them. The occupation of Wounded Knee was not premeditated.
"As AIM struggled in the courts" gives only one side of the story. The federal government struggled mightily in their prosecution of Means and Banks following the stand-off at Wounded Knee. During the 8-month trial, numerous prosecution witnesses perjured themselves on the stand. Finally, at the end of it all, the judge set Means and Banks free, condemning the prosecution for pursuing an unjust conviction by illegal and unscrupulous methods.
Russell and I started working together about the time "Mohicans" came out. As Russell's writing partner over the last 20 years, I can attest that Russell was very careful about the roles he chose to play. He turned down projects when he felt the screenplay showed a lack of understanding about Indians. His goal in acting was to use a new forum to further his political objectives. He used painting and music in the same way, believing that more could be accomplished through art than war. More than once I heard Russell say, "When I was young and foolish and felt that violence could accomplish anything…"
Possibly the most important correction to make here involves the statement, "In an effort to redeem himself, [Means] used his reckless behavior to place Indian sovereignty rather than his violent act within national headlines." First, there is an inference of guilt—Russell was charged with assault, not convicted. Second, the sequence of events is not as stated. Russell did not do anything reckless to bring national attention to Indian sovereignty at this time. For several years before the aforementioned incident, Russell and I had been working on a screenplay about Pine Ridge declaring sovereignty, based on the egregious record of broken treaties between the Lakota and the U.S. Though we allied with powerful producers who were dedicated to making the picture (Michael Taylor went on to run the production department at USC Film School, Barbara Boyle took a similar position at UCLA Film School), we were unable to raise the financing for such a radical story in Hollywood. By the end of 2007, when Russell and other Indians declared independence for the Oglala Nation, he had decided that it was more practical to actually found the nation in the real world than to make a movie about it in Hollywood. Russell was dedicated to the idea of Indian sovereignty his entire life. Remember, it was his father who orchestrated the original re-possession of Alcatraz. This was much too important and constant a theme of Russell's life to attribute any actions on its behalf to opportunism.
It's important to remember that Indian sovereignty and independence did not begin with AIM, or any of the other Indian civil rights organizations that receive too little credit for their work. Legally, every Indian tribe in the US is sovereign, according to International Law and the U.S. Constitution. This is one of the reasons Russell is one of the staunchest defenders of the U.S. Constitution in recent times. Not only is it based on principles established by Indian nations in pre-colonial times, it also stipulates that the various Indian peoples with which the US made treaties are sovereign nations. This is a reality that the American people will have to deal with sooner or later. Russia and Germany are capable of returning illegally confiscated property to its rightful owners. Why can't America honor its obligations as well as the Germans and Russians?
A popular movement like Red Power or the American Indian Sovereignty movement is never the work of just one man. Russell was able and willing to walk point in this movement. Leaders in this position often face accusations of opportunism. Russell was not this kind of leader. He did what he could to advance freedom and civil rights, not just for Indian people, not just for all people, but for all creatures of the Earth, and for Mother Earth Herself.
