PoliticsFrench-led troops regain Timbuktu from rebels Malian and French troops enter the ancient city of Timbuktu, but one northern town remains in rebel hands. 29 Jan 2013 08:26 GMT | Politics, Africa, Chad, France, Greece French and Malian troops have taken control of the historic Malian city of Timbuktu, after rebel occupiers fled the ancient Sahara trading town and torched several buildings, including a priceless manuscript library. The French-led coalition troops were welcomed by residents of the town, AFP news agency reported with some residents saying that the rebel fighters had left the city several days ago. "The Malian army and the French army are in complete control of the town of Timbuktu. Everything is under control," a colonel in the Malian army told AFP on condition of anonymity. A French military source said there were fears they could have dotted the city with mines, adding that they were in the process of "securing" it. Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from Timbuktu said that the streets were almost empty when the coalition troops arrived. "As we got deeper into the city the crowd got bigger." Malians first Malian troops have been leading the entrance into various towns, with the French troops numbering about 3,000 behind them. Live Box 2013114135029352466 Our correspondent said that this was intended to give the impression that Malian troops were retaking the town while they were actually being reinstalled in the town by the French troops. She said that there had been little fighting as the coalition troops retook various towns, and that the rebels had simply "melted away", possibly into Mauritania and other neighbouring countries. "Some people say that this may look like a problem postponed," with likelihood of the return of the rebels at a later stage, she said. Earlier on Monday, a breakaway group from the al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Dine group and Tuareg rebels announced that they had claimed control of a northern town, Kidal. French President Francois Hollande said on Monday that France was winning the battle, but added that it would be up to African forces to tackle rebels in the northern part of Mali once the key towns in the region were retaken. "Then the Africans can take over the baton," Hollande said. "They are the ones who will go into the northern part, which we know is the most difficult because that's where the terrorists are hiding." Nearly 8,000 African troops from Chad and the west African grouping ECOWAS are expected to take over from the French troops, but their deployment has been sluggish with 2,700 split between Mali and Niger. The African-led force will require a budget of $460m, with the African Union pledging $50m to the mission on the final day of its summit in Addis Ababa on Monday. Ancient manuscripts One resident who had cried out "Vive la France" was "burnt alive" as the rebels left the Timbuktu. Fears also soared for the city's cultural heritage when a building housing tens of thousands of manuscripts from the ancient Muslim world and Greece was set aflame. Mayor Ousmane confirmed the fire at the Ahmed Baba Centre for Documentation and Research which housed between 60,000 and 100,000 manuscripts, according to Mali's culture ministry. However, Shamil Jeppie of the Timbuktu Manuscripts Project at South Africa's University of Cape Town said he had no news from the ground but believed some of the most important documents may have been smuggled out or hidden in recent months. "I've heard from reliable sources on the ground that the private libraries took good care of hiding or taking out their stuff," Jeppie said.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

A High Court judge has labelled a 17-year-old's psychiatric report as "chilling", before jailing him to protect the public from his violent behaviour.
Cory Taipari, known as CJ, was yesterday sentenced in the High Court at Hamilton on a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm after attacking a man with a samurai sword near Thames in January 2013.
Justice Graham Lang sentenced Taipari to six years and nine months in prison. It was in addition to a four-year, six-month sentence he was already serving for similar offending in August 2012. It would ensure Taipari spends up to about 11 years in jail.
Compounding Taipari's sentence was that he was also yesterday ordered by Justice Lang to serve a minimum term of imprisonment, primarily to protect the public, of four years and six months on his latest charge.
Taipari was on bail and just two weeks out from a defended hearing for the first incident - for which he was later convicted on a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm - when he attacked a man with the samurai sword at a Matatoki property on January 28, 2013.
It caused a 2cm deep gash on the man's neck, just 1mm away from causing a fatal injury.
The attack left the 23-year-old victim with permanent nerve damage on the side of the face, as the weapon became embedded in the man's neck, just behind his ear.
In determining whether to impose a minimum term of imprisonment, Justice Lang had to take into account the protection of the public.
He read an excerpt from Taipari's psychiatric report which noted he would need "intensive" rehabilitation to change entrenched violent and self-harming behaviours brought about by his upbringing.
"This report makes chilling reading because it points out the depravations and neglect that you have suffered through your youth.
"You are the product of a very poor home environment where both parents were neglectful in the extreme and engaged in substance and alcohol abuse," the judge said.
"You have limited educational opportunities because you were expelled from school at an early age because of your disruptive behaviour."
In confirming the minimum prison term, Justice Lang said the matters identified in that report showed "that you are at a very high risk of violently reoffending on your release into the community".
Taipari's lawyer Mike McIvor said any jail term, especially one with a minimum term, would be "crushing" for his client.
McIvor said the sword had a broken handle and was "wobbling around" as he chased the victim, and didn't mean for it touch his head.
Taipari's family, who were in court to support him, declined to comment when approached by the Waikato Times.
Cory Taipari's brother, AJ Taipari, 22, yesterday withdrew his guilty plea to a charge of wounding with intent in connection with the Thames attack. He will reappear in court at a later date.

Seton-La Salle point guard is team's offensive catalyst
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Seton-La Salle head coach Mark Walsh still is amazed when senior point guard Dale Clancy runs down the court, pulls up and hits a teammate with an indescribable pass.
"He sees the floor unbelievably at top speed," Walsh said. "All of a sudden the balls coming out of his hands."
Clancy is the catalyst to the Rebels' high-powered offense, and Walsh believes, as the team's point guard he acts as coach on the court.
"Your point guard is like the extension of the coaches on the court," Walsh said.
At the start of this week, Clancy was averaging 17 points per game and seven assists. As a lefty, his unfamiliar ball-handling and quick first step is what makes him most lethal.
"His quickness is indescribable; his first step," Walsh said. "I think its unique for a lot of kids to defend."
Clancy credits the evolution of his game to practice, and studying film of opposing teams and learning their weaknesses.
"My (basketball) IQ is much higher," Clancy said. "I pay more attention and watch a lot of film."
While getting teammates involved is priority No. 1, Clancy knows making passes like he's used to creating requires some faith.
"I kind of see things before they happen, that's why I make so many passes," Clancy said. "Most of the time it's usually a risky situation because you don't know how its going to end."
Seton-La Salle won its first three games and opened Section 4-AA play with an 82-56 win over Chartiers-Houston last week.
Clancy recognizes his role as a team leader, and says he looks to get everyone a touch. He tries to teach the younger players how to play the position.
"I like to look forward," he said. "I'm not going to be here next year. I try to teach the other guards."
Walsh has seen Clancy's leadership style change as well. Usually quiet, the Rebels' floor boss says Clancy has been working on becoming more vocal.
"He's starting to say things as a leader," Walsh said. "We gave him some rest in the game the other night and he's calling kids' names out and was still involved."
Clancy sees being vocal as necessary in being a good point man.
"Sometimes I have a tendency to be quiet," he said. "To be a good point guard you can't be really quiet."
Clancy believes there's always room for improvement, and is working on his right-hand dribbling and jump shot.
"(My right hand) gets better every day," he said. "You can never stop practicing; you can always get better."
Walsh sees the determination in practice day in and day out, and loves Clancy's nerves of steel on the court.
"Great mental toughness; never loses composure," Walsh said. "He smiles and enjoys himself, but never shows negative emotion."
At 5-foot 8, Clancy's height may be a hindrance for him in getting major college recruiting interest, but so far area schools like Robert Morris University (Division I) and California University of Pennsylvania (Division II) have shown interest.
But first things first. Clancy and the Rebels are looking to win now, and it starts with Clancy.
"It's like the norm. A lot of things are coming together," Walsh said. "He understands the way we want to play."

Middle EastShia pilgrims killed by car bomb in Iraq At least 27 Shia Muslim pilgrims killed and 60 others injured in the town of Mussayab, south of Baghdad. 04 Jan 2013 07:09 GMT | Middle East, Iraq A car bomb has killed at least 27 Shia Muslim pilgrims in the town of Mussayab, south of Baghdad, as worshippers from around the world thronged Iraq's shrine city of Karbala to finish mourning rituals for a revered figure in Shia Islam.Thursday's attack came despite a massive security operation mounted to safeguard the millions of pilgrims travelling to and from Karbala for the conclusion of Arbaeen commemorations.Al Jazeera's Omar Al Saleh, reporting from Fallujah, said: "We understand that the pilgrimage has ended and that the Shia pilgrims are starting to head back from Karbala, the town of al Musayyib is on the way back to Baghdad. "We understand that security is very tight, and it's obvious that this is a breach of security, this is a setback for the security of this country." Arbaeen marks 40 days after the Ashura anniversary commemorating the slaying of Imam Hussein by the armies of the caliph Yazid in 680 AD. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

I´m a 30yo professional, living, working, and enjoying Calgary for a bit more than a year now.
I like meeting positive people and have a laugh from time to time
Cooking, swimming and reading are things that I enjoy day in and day out
Looking forward to hear from you!
Pablo has completed online and offline ID verification.
If ever staying in Calgary, I highly recommend Pablo. Pablo is a lovely human being and a very gracious host. He was there to greet me when I first arrived, went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and that the place was ready for me and in great condition. There was more than enough space and it was very clean. Pablo is very respectful and is helpful with local knowledge. I'm very grateful to have met him and I had an excellent experience.
Pablo was a fantastic host. We had a great stay at his cozy place where we had access to all amenities. He was very accommodating, allowing us to check-in earlier than expected to drop off our luggage. He was readily available by phone or text when we needed him. I would recommend his place for anyone looking for a comfortable stress-free place to stay in Calgary.
Pablo was a great host. Very friendly and easy to talk to. I particularly enjoyed all the healthy snacks that he had around and the excellent meal that he shared with me. I definitely recommend staying with him.
Pablo's home is lovely and close to the train to downtown (~10 minute walk). We didn't get to see much of Pablo but when we did he was a friendly and courteous host :)
Great place easy to access Pablo was helpful place is clean grocery shopping close C train close as well Pablo great host. Communication was great since he accept my reservation making sure my arrival time and how to get to his place.

Pablo is a geeat host. Thank you very much for the great hospitality and the nice room.
I enjoyed my stay at Pablo's home. It is simple and importantly clean and you feel at home. I plan to stay here each time I am in the city. Pablo is new to Canada and working hard to support his family, and studying at the same time! He has a good sense of humor and is sociable.
Really nice and clean place. Ross is a super guy. I will be retruning on 2nd Monday of Jan for 4 days and 4 days every 2nd week thereafer.

In case you haven't been paying attention, it is roadmap season at AMD, and now it is Desktop CPU time. A big welcome goes out to Vishera, Kaveri, and Kabini.
The roadmap as shown
This time, it isn't exactly anything we weren't expecting, with two of the three code names, Kabini and Kaveri, floating for a long time. Vishera is new, but the chip itself is basically a Piledriver server CPU in desktop form. Nothing too spectacular.
More interesting is Kaveri, the successor to Trinity. It will have a Steamroller CPU core, likely the first chip on the market with it. It also has a GCN/Southern Islands/HD7000 GPU, plus today's obligatory catch phrase, HSA. This is where it begins.
A bit lower on the scale is Kabini, the next generation Brazos replacement. It uses Jaguar cores and GCN GPUs shaders, but should be familiar to anyone following the space. Once again, the interesting part is less with the chips themselves, but who else puts IP in their own potential variants. Hang on folks, this is going to be interesting.S|A

Instructions for a Heatwave (Hardback)
Maggie O'Farrell
Published: 28/02/2013
- Not in our warehouse
The stunning new novel from Costa-Novel-Award-winning novelist Maggie O'Farrell: a portrait of an Irish family in crisis in the legendary heatwave of 1976. It's July 1976. In London, it hasn't rained for months, gardens are filled with aphids, water comes from a standpipe, and Robert Riordan tells his wife Gretta that he's going round the corner to buy a newspaper. He doesn't come back. The search for Robert brings Gretta's children - two estranged sisters and a brother on the brink of divorce - back home, each wih different ideas as to where their father might have gone. None of them suspects that their mother might have an explanation that even now she cannot share. Maggie O'Farrell's sixth book is the work of an outstanding novelist at the height of her powers.

Set up your remote control
Use this tool to find the codes of your devices and to get specific instructions on programming the codes into your Comcast remote.
I have the Belkin N+ Wireless Router and was recently contacted by xfinity to upgrade my "older" modem due to increased speed/performance not compatible with the current modem. I upgraded and received the ARRIS TG862G/CT modem/router, which also has wireless access. I now have 2 wireless routers with my primary as the ARRIS.
Can I use the ARRIS downstairs and place the Belkin N+ upstairs (2nd floor), wirelessly connect the Belkin to the ARRIS and ultimately increase the wifi range upstairs (2nd and 3rd floors), allowing for better a signal with better performance while upstairs? I'm thinking the routers will connect better to each other and thus give a greater signal, but not certain if this makes sense. I have browsed around, but can't find anything that supports my thoughts. Anyone ever attempted to do this? If successful, have any tutorials or guidance? Thanks in advance! -Ken
smoothbeaver (love that name!), I have done this, though I used a Dlink router loaded with DD-WRT firmware.
I believe, and others here can keep me honest, that you need to setup your Belkin as a seperate access point with a different SSID. I've done this in the past with other modems and routers, not a Belkin.
I ran an ethernet cable from my modem to another router located on a different floor. Then I setup that wireless router as an access point by turning off its DHCP server. You need to do that so the two wireless routers don't try to fight each other to direct the network traffic. I'm sure your Belkin docs will tell you how to do that.
You also need to give it a different SSID because they can't both share that name.
Another method would be to setup your Belkin as a repeater. In this mode, the Belkin would just get the signal from the modem and 'repeat' it. You would need to connect these two wirelessly and it would cut your connection speed in half because the modem would need 1/2 its bandwidth to serve the traffic coming from the Belkin.
I don't have any tutorials, but plenty of info exists on tomshardware.com and smallnetbuilder.com. You can also try the Belkin community forums, I'm sure this has come up before.
Thank you for taking the time to respond, I decided to abandon this thought... the internet speeds didn't appear to be as good as they should. I ended up contacting comcast and enabling a bridge, my speeds are now 12-15 mbps quicker, lol. Gotta love paying for service, receiving upgraded equipment, but yet not receiving the speeds advertised when using the equipment. Anyways, thanks again for your post, I really do appreciate it - happy holidays.

Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE): Program and Training Information
Clinical Pastoral Education programs prepare members of the clergy to support individuals and families through medical situations. These programs are available at numerous colleges, universities, hospitals and health care institutions. Read on for information on classwork and clinical requirements for participants.
Essential Information
Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is a professional ministry training program for theology students of all faiths, whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim or other religions. They learn to act as counselors for individuals and families in crisis, such as people with chronic disabilities or those facing death. These programs are heavily geared towards clinical work with patients and their loved ones.
There are three levels of training, often found within one all-encompassing program; however some institutions only feature the first or second level. Students must complete one level before progressing to the next; those progressing to Level II or beyond may qualify for a paid 1-year residency.
Education Prerequisites
Applicants should have a high school diploma or GED. Alternatively, ordination by a religious authority may also qualify potential students. Some schools may require applicants to have completed one or more years of theological school.
Program Coursework
CPE programs include both clinical experiences and supplemental class work. Many programs have a ratio of three hours of clinical experience to one hour of education. Clinical responsibilities may include being on-call for hospital visits. Instruction involves reading, written reflection assignments, seminars, group discussions and case studies. Didactic session topics may include:
- Cultural perspectives on pastoral care and counseling
- Pastoral identity
- Spirituality and health
- Communication styles
- Systems and groups of ministry
- Patient relationships
- Personal growth and development
- Community building.
Popular Career Options
Many residential and outpatient facilities employ individuals who have completed a Clinical Pastoral Education program, including hospitals, hospices, veteran's facilities, geriatric care centers, rehabilitation centers, correctional facilities and children's medical centers. Common job titles include:
- Pastor
- Chaplain
- Parish minster
- Lay minister
- Pastoral counselor
- Pastoral educator
- Licensed professional counselor
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2012 about 13,000 clergy members worked in hospitals and nursing care facilities, in addition to being employed by home health care services. That same year, those clergy members' average annual salaries ranged between $46,510 and $48,310. The BLS predicted 18% job growth for clergy in general, from 2010 to 2020.

Barney Frank discussing the Boston marathon bombing on CNN this morning:
NBC reports:
CNN now reports that an 8-year-old child was killed in today's Boston marathon bombings:
"We're now being told, as bad as the situation is, according to ... one of the local stations in Boston, one of the two people killed was an 8-year-old child," said CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "We don't know if it was a boy or girl, but an 8-year-old child killed in this terror attack near the finish line in Boston, at the Boston marathon."
President Barack Obama addressed the Boston Marathon bombing just now from the White House:
The president was careful not to say the bombings were a terrorist attack, but he did say, "We don't yet have all the answers, but we do know that multiple people have been wounded--some gravely--in explosions at the Boston marathon."

More Comments:
Otto M. Kerner - 9/30/2004
I certainly agree that campaigning to get other people to vote could theoretically affect the real world. Perhaps a spirited libertarian campaign might have elected Ludwig von Mises (another Austrian) as chancellor of Germany instead of Hitler. Furthermore, a campaign to have other people simply ignore the results of elections would also have desireable effects if successful. However, you yourself voting or not voting is still useless.
By the way, unless I am mistaken, the Nazis never got anywhere near 50% of the vote, even if you only look at the people who actually bothered to vote. The problem in the 1932 election was that the Nazis and the Communists combined got a little over 50% of the vote, making it impossible for the other parties to form a government without including one or the other.
Max Schwing - 9/30/2004
Oh, but the voting Germany went wrong, because people felt like you, that voting doesn't change anything :)
The rise of Hitler really took place under certain circumstances and only 50 % of the German population voted in 1933. Among those 50 % were the radical facists that supported the NSDAP (and who were bound to vote by their party), while the rest were the core-supporters of the other parties (Zentrum, socialist party etc.). so, if mor people had voted, the NSDAP and her allies would have never reached the overwhelming majority.
On the other side, today voting is merchandised in a way that takes the usefulness out of it: You have to vote, even if you have no idea what it is about. That's nonesense and should be changed into: We are showing you reasons why you should think about voting.
Roderick T. Long - 9/29/2004
Wendy McElroy, as I understand her position, accepts the "voluntaryist" argument that voting, even for a libertarian candidate, is an act of aggression. I disagree. I've written on this at the link below:
Otto M. Kerner - 9/29/2004
Voting is useless. If it's Germany in 1932 and Hitler is running (for the sake of argument, let's say that the Nazis actually won that election outright), you can either vote against him or not vote, but he's getting elected either way. You could go ahead and vote for him, for all the difference it would make. So voting is a symbolic, demonstrative, or emotional act. That being the case, I think that it's hard to say that anyone is wrong or right about how to do it. Long prefers to symbolically send a message that he wants a more libertarian society. McElry prefers to symbolically send a message that she denies the legitimacy of the whole proces.

I would have returned for a thicker one but hard to tell online which is better since they no longer list the thickness. This pad is only maybe 1/4". Most people are gonna prefer a thicker one. This provides no cushion at all.
This rug pad is great. It is very thick and adds a lot of padding under my rug. It also works very well to help hold the rug in place. It does exactly what I had hoped.
I purchased this rug pad for use under several ribbed wool & silk rugs (about 3/8" thick) that I recently acquired to put on my downstairs ceramic tile floors. Because I could not find the right sized pads in this brand, I bought a larger rug pad and cut it into smaller sections to fit my rugs. The padding is a nice, solid 1/4" thick, very sturdy, with 2 layers: a rubber floor layer topped with felt. I was able to easily cut it to size, using sharp scissors. I cannot believe what a good job the pads are now doing under my rugs! Before I added the pads, I was concerned about slippage - now, absolutely nothing moves! In addition, the pads make my rugs look thicker and feel more luxurious, as well as MUCH warmer. OUTSTANDING product! I have now ordered more for upstairs!
This product serves 2 purposes. It can be either used on carpet or hard surfaces. It met my need of laying on a tile floor to stabilize my Overstock 2'3" x 8' rug item #13103310 from rotating, bunching, and staying in place. This reversible pad will assist in the durability of item #13103310. Thanks O for having this item on display and in stock.
Provide warmth and slippage on my hardwood floors. I had to trim pad to fit under carpet. Hope to be able to use leftover under another rug that currently has a less efficient pad

While the video essay form, in regards to its practice of exploring the visual themes in cinematic discourse, has seen a recent surge in popularity with viewers (thanks to invaluable online resources like indieWIRE's Press Play, Fandor's Keyframe and the academic peer-reviewed journal [in]Transition), its historical role as a significant filmmaking genre has long been prominent among film scholars and cinephiles.
From the start, the essay film—more affectionately referred to as the "cine-essay"—was a fusion of documentary filmmaking and avant-garde filmmaking by way of appropriation art; it also tended to employ fluid, experimental editing schemes. The first cine-essays were shot and edited on physical film. Significant works like Agnès Varda's "Salut les Cubains" (1963) and Marc Karlin's "The Nightcleaners" (1975), which he made in collaboration with the Berwick Street Film Collective, function like normal documentaries: original footage coupled with a voiceover of the filmmaker and an agenda at hand. But if you look closer and begin to study the aesthetics of the work (e.g. the prolific use of still photos in "Cubains," the transparency of the "filmmaking" at hand in "Nightcleaners"), these films transcend the singular genre that is the documentary form; they became about the process of filmmaking and they aspired to speak to both a past and future state of mind. What the cine-essay began to stand for was our understanding of memory and how we process the images we see everyday. And in a modern technological age of over-content-creation, by way of democratized filmmaking tools (i.e. the video you take on your cell phone), the revitalization of the cine-essayists is ever so crucial and instrumental to the continued curation of the moving images that we manifest.
The leading figure of the cine-essay form, the iconic Chris Marker, really put the politico-stamp of vitality into the cine-essay film with his magnum-opus "Grin Without A Cat" (1977). Running at three hours in length, Marker's "Grin" took the appropriation art form to the next level, culling countless hours of newsreel and documentary footage that he himself did not shoot, into a seamless, haunting global cross-section of war, social upheaval and political revolution. Yet, what's miraculous about Marker's work is that his cine-essays never fell victim to a dependency on the persuasive argument—that was something traditional documentaries hung their hats on. Instead, Marker was much more interested in the reflexive nature of the moving image. If we see newsreel footage of a street riot spliced together with footage from a fictional war film, does that lessen our reaction to the horrific reality of the riot? How do we associate the moving image once it is juxtaposed against something that we once thought to be safe or familiar? At the start of Marker's "Sans Soleil" (1983), the narrator says, "The first image he told me about was of three children on a road in Iceland, in 1965. He said that for him it was the image of happiness and also that he had tried several times to link it to other images, but it never worked. He wrote me: one day I'll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black leader; if they don't see happiness in the picture, at least they'll see the black." It's essentially the perfect script for deciphering the cine-essay form in general. It demands that we search and create our own new realities, even if we're forced to stare at a black screen to conjure up a feeling or memory.
Flash forward to 1995: Harun Farocki creates "Arbeiter verlassen die Fabrik," a video essay that foils the Lumière brothers' "Employees Leaving the Lumière Factory" (1895) with countless other film clips of workers in the workplace throughout the century. It's a significant work: exactly 100 years later, a cine-essayist is speaking to the ideas of filmmakers from 1895 and then those ideas are repurposed to show a historical evolution of employer-employee relations throughout time. What's also significant about Farocki's film is the technological aspect. Note how his title at this point in time is a "video essayist." The advent of video, along with the streamlined workflow to acquiring digital assets of moving images, gave essayist filmmakers like Farocki the opportunity for creating innovative works with faster turnaround times. Not only was it less cumbersome to edit footage digitally, the ways for the works to be presented were altered; Farocki would later repurpose his own video essay into a 12-monitor video installation for exhibition.
Consider Thom Andersen's epic 2003 video essay "Los Angeles Plays Itself." In it, Andersen appropriates clips from films set in Los Angeles from over the decades and then criticizes the cinema's depiction of his beloved city. It's the most meta of essay films because by the end, Andersen himself has constructed the latest Los Angeles-based film. And although Andersen has more of an obvious thesis at hand than, say something as equally lyrical and dense as Marker's "Sans Soleil," both films exist in the same train of thought: the exploration of the way we as viewers embrace the moving image and then how we communicate that feeling to each other. Andersen may be frustrated with the way Hollywood conveys his city but he even he has moments of inspired introspection towards those films. The same could be said of Marker's work; just as Marker can remain a perplexed and often inquisitive spectator of the moving images of poverty and genocide that surround him, he functions as a gracious, patient guide for the viewer, since it is his essay text that the narrator reads from.
Watching an essay film requires you to fire on all cylinders, even if you watch one with an audience. It's a different kind of collective viewing because the images and ideas spring from an artifact that is real; that artifact can be newsreel footage or a completed, a released motion picture that is up for deeper examination or anything else that exists as a completed work. In that sense, the cine-essay (or video essay), remains the most potent form of cinematic storytelling because it invites you to challenge its ideas and images and then in turn, it challenges your own ideas by daring you to reevaluate your own memory of those same moving images. It aims for a deeper truth and it dares to repurpose the cinema less as escapist entertainment and more as an instrument to confront our own truths and how we create them.
