Colonialism is the establishment, maintenance, acquisition, and expansion of colonies in one territory by people from another territory.
Differentiate between dependency theory, world-systems theory, and the Marxist perspective on colonialism
A period in history starting in the early 15th century and continuing into the early 17th century during which Europeans engaged in intensive exploration of the world, establishing direct contact with Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania and mapping the planet.
The freeing of a colony or territory from dependent status by granting it sovereignty.
A process of invasion, occupation, colonization and annexation of African territory by European powers during the New Imperialism period, between 1881 and World War I in 1914.
the establishment, exploitation, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of territories (or colonies) in one geographic area by people from another area
Colonialism is the establishment, maintenance, acquisition, and expansion of colonies in one territory, imposed by people from another territory. It is a process whereby the metropole, or parent state, claims sovereignty over the colony, and the social structure, government, and economy of the colony are changed by colonizers from the metropole. Colonialism is a set of unequal relationships between the metropole and the colony, and between the colonists and the indigenous, or native, population .
By the end of the 19th century, most of the Americas were under the control of European colonial empires. At present, much of South and Central America is still economically dependent on foreign nations for capital and export markets.
Modern colonialism started with the Age of Discovery, during which Portugal and Spain discovered new lands across the oceans (including the Americas and Atlantic/South Pacific islands) and built trading posts. According to some scholars, building these colonies across oceans differentiates colonialism from other types of expansionism. These new lands were first divided between the Portuguese Empire and Spanish Empire, though the British, French, and Dutch soon acquired vast territory as well.
The 17th century saw the creation of the French colonial empire, the Dutch Empire, and the English colonial empire, which later became the British Empire. It also saw the establishment of some Swedish overseas colonies and a Danish colonial empire.
The spread of colonial empires diminished in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, largely due to the American Revolutionary War and Latin American wars for independence. However, many new colonies were established after this period, including the German colonial empire and Belgian colonial empire. In the late 19th century, many European powers were involved in the so-called Scramble for Africa, in which many African colonies were established.
After the First World War, the victorious allies divided up the German colonial empire and much of the Ottoman Empire according to League of Nations mandates. These territories were divided into three classes based on how quickly they would be ready for independence. Decolonization outside the Americas lagged until after World War II. In ideal cases, decolonized colonies were granted sovereignty, or the right to self-govern, becoming independent countries.
The term "neocolonialism" has been used to refer to a variety of contexts since the decolonization that took place after World War II. Generally, it does not refer to any type of direct colonization, but colonialism by other means. Specifically, neocolonialism refers to the theory that former or existing economic relationships—the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the Central American Free Trade Agreement—are used to maintain control of former colonies after formal independence was achieved. In broader usage, neocolonialism may simply refer to the involvement of powerful countries in the affairs of less powerful countries; this is especially relevant in modern Latin America. In this sense, neocolonialism implies a form of economic imperialism.
One approach sociologists take to colonialism and neocolonialism is a Marxist perspective. Marx viewed colonialism as part of the global capitalist system, which has led to exploitation, social change, and uneven development. He argued that it was destructive and produced dependency. According to some Marxist historians, in all of the colonial countries ruled by Western European countries, indigenous people were robbed of health and opportunities. From a Marxist perspective, colonies are considered vis-à-vis modes of production. The search for raw materials and new investment opportunities is the result of inter-capitalist rivalry for capital accumulation.
Dependency theory builds upon Marxist thought, blaming colonialism and neocolonialism for poverty within the world system. This theory argues that countries have developed at an uneven rate because wealthy countries have exploited poor countries in the past and today through foreign debt and foreign trade.
The world-systems theory suggests that the aftermath of colonialism and the continuing practice of neocolonialism produces unequal economic relations within the world system. Sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein elaborated on these forms of economic inequality. In this theory, the world economic system is divided into a hierarchy of three types of countries: core, semiperipheral, and peripheral. Core countries (e.g., U.S., Japan, Germany) are dominant capitalist countries characterized by high levels of industrialization and urbanization. Peripheral countries (e.g., most African countries and low income countries in South America) are dependent on core countries for capital, and have very little industrialization and urbanization. Peripheral countries are usually agrarian and have low literacy rates and lack Internet connection in many areas. Semiperipheral countries (e.g., South Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, Brazil, India, Nigeria, South Africa) are less developed than core nations but are more developed than peripheral nations.

The 1970s Electric Company adaptation of Spider-Man, "Spidey Super Stories," was originally envisioned very differently. PBS had pressured the Children's Television Workshop for more "crossover" programming, which was intended to appeal to children while incorporating popular adult interests.
In the winter of 1973, they filmed the first episode of "Spider-Man's Finnegans Wake." In addition to Spider-Man, it featured Morgan Freeman's "Easy Reader" character as a sort of Mysterio-By-Proxy / Finnegan, already dead but constantly in view. The episode began with Spider-Man reciting a variation on the first line of the Joyce novel:
Zoinks, gang! A way a lone a last a loved a long the Hudson river, past the Port Authority, from swerve of Brooklyn to bend of The Bronx, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Central Park and Environs!
In test screenings, both children and adults disliked it with a fierce and unbridled passion, with 75% of child viewers stating unprompted that they "fucking hate[d] Spider-Man now," and one adult viewer tearing up his pocket copy of Ulysses and wiping his own bottom with it.
* A similar attempt was made in the 1980s to cross "Fantastic Four" over with "Gravity's Rainbow," but John Byrne's failure to grasp the source material led to an opening splash page with the Human Torch just flying over the iconic New York City skyline, shrieking the entire time. Jim Shooter wisely killed the story, but The Thing's new catchphrase, "It's Postmodernin' Time," persisted for three issues in 1984.
There once was a woman named Andrea, O children, whose family kept four chickens in a small coop in their backyard. Andrea's wife Stephanie had convinced the family that keeping chickens was a good idea, and it had been good, by and large. The eggs were delicious, and the children loved watching the birds peck and scratch.
The family took turns feeding and watering the chickens, spreading diatomaceous earth to keep the smell down, and replacing the straw. Andrea hated taking her turn with the chickens, O children: their beady eyes, so vacant and yet so expectant; their sharp claws, ever scratching at the dirt; the pungent tang of their droppings. She always tried to trade chores with the other members of the family. Most of the time she was able to avoid chicken duty, but not always, and so it was that one morning her alarm clock went off before the sun came up and she had to rise for chicken-tending.
Andrea sighed and went out into the dewy dark backyard to feed and water the chickens and gather eggs. She put the eggs (only two this morning) into her little basket and squatted down to fill the chickens' water. As she was bent down, Doris-- a beautiful black-and-white Barred Plymouth Rock hen-- hopped up onto the shoulder of her purple robe.
"Bok buk bugok," said Doris.
"Agh shit," said Andrea, and quickly stood up. Doris came up with her, and shifted her head to look Andrea right in the eye.
"Bok," said the chicken.
"Uh, hello, Doris," said Andrea. She regarded the chicken on her shoulder, and Doris regarded her right back.
Slowly, Andrea reached into her robe pocket and pulled out her phone. She opened the camera and lifted it up, taking a few selfies in quick succession, while thinking about potential captions for the internet. Tough-guy face for the first one, maybe with the caption "Who you callin' chicken?" For the second, Doris looked kind of sad, so Andrea grinned big; "The Egg-ony and the Egg-stasy." For the third, Andrea licked her lips and stared wide-eyed at Doris. Caption: "My Dinner With Andrea." She could look at the selfies again inside, and post the best one. As she slipped the phone back into her robe pocket, Doris darted forward and buried her entire head in Andrea's ear.
Andrea screamed and fell backwards into the straw. Doris scrabbled for purchase and maintained a grip on the robe, but let out a startled "BUK BOK BUGOK!" The clucking echoed, unbearably loud, inside Andrea's head. Immediately, a horrible burning and itching started; Doris pecked around inside Andrea's cranium, and little neck feathers brushed maddeningly against Andrea's inner ear. Doris, in all the thrashing, yanked down the collar of the robe and buried a set of talons into Andrea's bare shoulder. Andrea screamed again and reached up and around, wrapping her hands around the bird's neck and midsection, lifting it away.
The head stayed put, and Doris' body stopped short. "BUK BUGOK," Doris hollered into Andrea's head, and shat all over the robe. Andrea closed her eyes and tried not to panic. If she freaked out and yanked too hard, she could kill the chicken, and then she'd have a dead hen wedged headfirst in her ear. Worst of all, if she pulled hard enough, the chicken head might actually detach, tick-like, and remain buried, dripping its own thick blood down Andrea's neck.
The other three birds watched calmly from the yard.
Andrea reached up with the arm closest to Doris and held the bird's body down tight against her shoulder, preventing further clawing and scrabbling. With the other hand, she reached up and followed the chicken's neck as far as she could, until she hit her own ear. The entire skull was inside her head. The clucking continued unabated. Andrea carefully folded her fingers over the top of the chicken's neck and pressed the meat of her thumb against her temple, applying gentle but steady pressure out and away.
After thirty seconds of itching and crowing, there was a loud popping sound, almost exactly like squeezed bubblewrap, and Doris' head came loose. Andrea threw the chicken onto the ground, where it looked at her with an expression as close to surprise as a chicken's face can muster. Doris' head was caked with viscous yellow earwax.
Immediately, Andrea decided that she could tell no one. She wiped Doris' head off with a paper towel as best she could and went about her business. She brought in the eggs. She put the robe, bloody and spattered with Doris droppings, into the washer. She showered, spending a lot of extra time with a Q-Tip, and pulled out three large feathers and five small ones. She deleted all of the chicken-selfies. She vomited and got dressed; got the children up, fed, and clothed; dropped them off at school, and went to work.
While listening to a PowerPoint presentation that morning, Andrea heard a single muted cluck. She yelped and shoved her chair back from the table, scuffling backwards and drawing glances. After coming to her senses, she played it off as an insect crawling up her ankle. She tried to resume learning about the benefits of a particular bookkeeping software, but her mind was elsewhere.
The clucks kept coming, each one slightly different; there were long pauses between them at first, but the intervals grew shorter and shorter until they rang through her head every few seconds. Andrea left work at noon. The closer she got to her home, the louder they became, until she found herself in the backyard staring at Doris.
"What did you do to me, Doris?"
The chicken looked at her, then pecked at the ground.
"How do I stop this, Doris?" asked Andrea.
"Bugok," said Doris, and the sound echoed like a fart in a cathedral, resonating and filling Andrea's entire awareness. She fell to her knees.
Something needed to be done. As soon as she could stand, Andrea got a hatchet out of the shed. She carried Doris, seemingly-unconcerned, over to a stump, and braced her with one hand. With the other, she quickly brought down the blade. Doris' head flopped onto the grass, and her thin little legs kicked and flailed in the air. The clucking in Andrea's head stopped immediately.
"Oh, thank goodness," said Andrea. She couldn't bring herself to pluck Doris-- just the thought of eating her caused an awful bout of heartburn-- so she gently placed the corpse in the garbage on the curb, and went inside for a bubble bath and two bottles of wine. She was pretty well recovered by the time Stephanie and the kids came home. No one had yet noticed Doris' absence.
Andrea couldn't even look at the beef in the fridge, and so she and Stephanie made vegetarian dinner: quinoa and lentils in spicy red sauce, with broccoli on the side. The family watched an animated movie, by the end of which Andrea felt almost normal (despite finding a feather in her hair). The kids went to bed. Shortly thereafter, Andrea and Stephanie did too.
Andrea half-woke in a sweat at two-thirty in the morning. The bottoms of her feet itched and burned red-hot, as though she'd walked through poison ivy barefoot. Under the covers, she reached down and scratched, her long nails digging at her soles, trying to find some relief but not wanting to enter full wakefulness. God, it felt good. She scratched and scratched, the relief intensely satisfying, until her fingers slid under the calloused flesh of her soles and touched the dozens of scaly chicken feet beneath.

There once was a woman, O children, named Laquinda.
Laquinda lived in a small cabin, deep in the woods, with her three dogs. She meditated, and read, and enjoyed walks in the dappled sunlight shining through the forest canopy. She worked as an accountant at Brickenden National Bank, performing financial services for people and businesses; she was very good at her job, and found satisfaction in it every day.
In this way, she lived and worked and was happy.
At the end of every workday, Laquinda left the bank and began the long walk home through the woods. The woods were deep and deserted, and home to all manner of beasties: demons, ghosts, vértékties, vampires, and other creatures besides. Laquinda always made sure to go home while the sun still shone down and drove the dark things into the shadows.
One springtime, tax season enveloped Brickenden National like a dark cloud, and Laquinda found that she could not keep up with all the work that needed to be done. On the day of the deadline, the bank manager requested that Laquinda stay and work until all the tax documents had been filed. Laquinda worked hard, doing calculation upon calculation, but still found that the moon was full and heavy above the trees when she was finished. Laquinda quickly said a prayer and jogged down the path.
Laquinda was in the forest no further than ten yards before she found her path blocked by a vértéktie.
A vértéktie, if you have never seen one (and I hope for your sake that you have not), is a small creature the size and shape of a cat, with the head of a possum and the tail of an otter, and two sharp horns spiraling from its forehead. Vértéktie stand on their hind legs, and they are dressed all over in soft shaggy fur; their large velvety bat ears swivel to and fro so they can hear their prey from a great distance. Their tongues are half the length of their bodies, and they have two small hands, like the hands of a child.
Vértéktie smile constantly, showing all of their tiny sharp teeth.
"Clear my path, beastie, or I shall make you move," said Laquinda, pretending to be brave even though she was very scared.
"Oh, I think not," said the vértéktie, slowly padding toward Laquinda and licking its thin pink lips. "You look plump and nourishing. I think I shall take my fill of you."
Laquinda let out a bellowing shriek and ran at the vértéktie, which startled and froze; she raised her foot as she ran, and attempted to boot the creature into the trees, but the vértéktie was too fast for her. It clung fast to her leg with its small hands and scampered up her body. Then it perched on her back, where she could not reach it, and began whispering an eerie incantation.
Laquinda knew that it was too late, but the damage could be managed; she broke off the branch of a nearby rowan tree and began to flail away behind her, whipping the vértéktie, so that it could not continue its disgusting spell.
Vértéktie, you see, do not feed the way monsters normally do. Most fearsome critters want to eat the flesh or drink the blood of their victims. A vértéktie, forgoing this physical sustenance, grabs hold of a person and slowly consumes their ability to experience joy. Once they have encountered a vértéktie in the light of the silvery moon, even a person who smiles easily and has found inner peace can find themselves staring into the carpet as if into a wishing well, unable to find even the smallest measure of happiness.
Laquinda ran as fast as her feet would take her, flogging the vértéktie with the rowan branch. She could hear the whisper of dark words, and could feel herself begin to despair. She began to shout over the vértéktie, singing prayers, calling out Our Fathers and Hail Marys at the top of her voice. She took her silver necklace and pressed it into the monster's leg, making the fur singe and burn; she did every thing she could think of to make the critter pause or start over or halt.
Before too long, she saw her house through the trees, and called her dogs.
The dogs came running up the path and circled Laquinda and the vértéktie, barking and growling. It is well-known that vértéktie are terrified of dogs, and the beast clambered its way up to the very top of Laquinda's head, where it turned round and round, spitting and squealing. Spying her chance, Laquinda grabbed its bony thorax and wrestled it to the ground, where she wrapped the necklace around its neck like a choker, and clutched the devil close to her.
She ran the rest of the way to the cabin, shooing the dogs inside before her as she went. Once they were all inside, she slammed and locked the door behind her and threw the vértéktie to the floor.
Now that the physical connection had been broken and the panic had begun to subside, Laquinda could tell that the vértéktie had badly diminished her capacity for merriment. Before the encounter, she could laugh at any joke, no matter how badly constructed or poorly told. Now she found that when she tried to smile, the corners of her mouth twitched halfheartedly and lay still. She knew that unless something was done, she would be unable to enjoy her walks, or her books, or her dogs, or her work, and she would soon begin to wither away.
"Vile beast," she hissed at the vértéktie. "Undo this damage! Restore me, or I shall kill you, and throw you in the fire, and let my dogs chew your bones!"
"Anything, please," said the vértéktie, "just let me go."
Laquinda grabbed the devil by the scruff of its neck, and attached bells to the silver necklace it wore, so that other people would know if it came near. She squeezed the vértéktie hard between her hands, and felt satisfaction rise within her.
Once this was done, and she was made her old self again, she opened the door to allow the demon to escape. Instead of running into the darkness, however, it looked at her plaintively.
"Please," it said, "with this bell around my neck, I shall never be able to feed. Soon, I will die of starvation."
Now that her gaiety had returned to her, Laquinda felt some small sympathy for this pathetic monster. "I shall place a saucer of milk on the front step every night," she said.
The vértéktie cocked its head and squinted at her. "On the first cold night I will freeze to death without the stolen joy of others to keep me warm."
Laquinda sighed. "All right," she said. "On very cold nights you may visit me indoors, and keep warm by the fire."
The vértéktie nodded once and was gone.
This is how Laquinda came to have a pet vértéktie. If you visit her in the woods on a snowy night, you may see it curled up by the fire, caressing its necklace of bells and smiling sweetly at you with all its tiny sharp teeth. Look at it, but do not touch; for deep down, the vértéktie is always hungry, and will not hesitate.

In the wake of gerrymandering and Crosscheck voter invalidation, the United States government has finally become a full-on evangelical theocracy, enacting biblical punishments for all transgressions. They've also adopted the non-evangelical notion of "purgatory" out of a sense of expediency and necessity.
When you're arrested for any non-mortal sin-- or even if you give confession for those sins-- you can be put into suspended animation to serve your "purgatory time" immediately. This helps alleviate overpopulation, and there's a political component, in that those in suspended animation are unable to vote. Those offenders with views opposing the government / church face a much higher rate of purgatorial punishment.
I'm a freedom fighter, looking to illegally resurrect a purgatory-dweller. I drive a small hovercraft / antigravity ship-- it's car-sized, more like a skiff or a convertible. It can fly up, down, sideways, upside down-- the floorboards are always "down," gravitationally. There isn't a top on it, but a top would be unnecessary, as global warming has forced all the cities into massive walled-off domes. I continue my search, deep into the archives full of glass coffins packed with those who are suspended in purgatory. They go on and on and on, for miles.
Also I have the unique ability to travel back in time, exactly one year from whenever I choose to exercise the ability. Once I've done so, I have to live forward in real-time, and cannot skip ahead.
If I fuck things up too much and change or damage the timeline too drastically, the shadows will come for me.
I'm in love with the purgatory-dweller for whom I search. She's a fierce political activist, and can rally dissent magnificently.
I keep searching.
I'm walking through a wooded area, but the trees are all in neat rows. Looking to my left, I see a serpentine, floating beam of light, roiling through two rows of pines. It moves, but not in a straight line like a flashlight beam: It drifts and carries the light with it, like luminescent smoke. Illuminated smoke. Only I can see it. It disappears or dissipates quickly.
I keep walking. There are people walking near me, but we are not together. Periodically, looking left, I can see the luminescent smoke, and I finally understand that it functions like a fiber-optic cable-- if I were to catch the end, I could look through it and see what's on the other end. It never stays long enough for me to catch it.
The group of people grows. We do not speak. We do not interact.
At last, the beam appears and lingers. I can see it. I run to it and stare down it.
A man at the other end slowly turns. He's wearing a shabby green-brown shirt and a faded red baseball cap. His face is darkened by shadows. He is unshaven. He has very bad teeth. Instead of eyes, he has small white suns in his head. They're almost too bright to look at.
Now he knows who I am, and he will come, and he will find me.
I woke up shivering with the most intense goosebumps.

India's Hindi-language film industry is bracing itself for the busiest time of year, when it rolls out its big guns to coincide with the major religious festivals of Diwali and Eid.
Action thriller Dabangg, starring Salman Khan, gets the peak season rolling with a wide release in India and overseas on September 10.
Khan plays a fearless but corrupt cop in the film, which was produced by and also stars his brother Arbaaz Khan. It was directed by Abhinav Kashyap who is the brother of internationally-acclaimed new wave director Anurag Kashyap (Dev D).
Following that will be Anjaana Anjaani, a romantic comedy starring Priyanka Chopra and Bollywood's hottest newcomer Ranbir Kapoor, which Eros International will release on September 24.
October 22 sees the release of the first part of Ram Gopal Varma's two-part political thriller Rakta Charitra, starring Vivek Oberoi, which depicts the life of the slain political leader Paritala Ravindra. The second part will be released four to five weeks later.
At least two big films are set for release in November - romantic drama Guzarish, starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai, and Golmaal 3, the third installment in Rohit Shetty's successful comedy franchise, starring Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor.
Produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Guzarish is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali who also directed the international hit Devdas.
Most of these films will receive a wide global release day-and-date with their Indian release, a strategy which has become Bollywood's most effective weapon in the fight against piracy.
Hindi films are usually released in countries with large Indian communities, including the US, Canada, the UK, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand.
The Muslim festival of Eid, which marks the end of Ramadan, takes place on September 10, while Diwali, one of Hinduism's biggest festivals, will be celebrated on November 5 this year.
In recent years, the peak box office season has also rolled on into the Christian festival of Christmas - big releases set for December include Ashutosh Gowariker's Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, and Farah Khan's action comedy Tees Maar Khan, with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif.

John Wiley Price Profiled on NPR's Morning Edition. He Musta Loved Schutze's Cameo.
Several Friends of Unfair Park wanted to make sure we directed your attention to National Public Radio's piece on Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, which aired on Morning Edition as a way of showcasing the blue city in a red state. A couple of minutes in, a certain Observer columnist makes his appearance.
Not everyone buys Price's "angry black man" act.
"He always acted like a guy, when the cameras were rolling, who was out of control, dangerous, crazy. When those cameras shut off, he was the world's most reasonable, let's make a deal, guy, says Jim Schutze, the political columnist for the Dallas Observer, the city's alternative newspaper.
Schutze has been covering Price since moving to Dallas as a young reporter in 1978. Back then, Schutze says, "Dallas was so backwards that black people would not meet a white person's eye. White people sometimes used the 'N' word in gatherings where there were black people present."
Over the years, Schutze says, he began to understand that Price's angry public persona had subtleties he didn't originally see.
"But he was doing, I always felt, this kind of kabuki theater for the community," Schutze says, "saying, 'This is what it looks like to stand up, and look how I can do this stuff, and I'm still alive -- and they haven't lynched me, and you can do it too.'"

A few weeks ago we confirmed reports that the iPhone 5S motion sensors were embarrassingly off. Some enterprising devs have investigated the problem, and figured out that at its root, it's indeed a hardware design issue that Apple either overlooked or ignored. The good news is that there's a fix coming—but not from Apple.

Reviews for Nexplanon to treat Birth Control
"I got this form of birth control about a year ago. The first few months were great. Had my normal period, or no period at all. Then I started breaking out and it continued to get worse. Then I started gaining weight. I gained a total of 15 pounds in 6 months. I know that is not a ton of weight. but I am 5"5 and weighed 108 pounds. I go to the gym at least 3 times a week, and I eat pretty healthy most of the time. I have never had a problem with weight until now. Other than these 2 side effects, this birth control is great. I love that you don't have to worry about it once it's in. But since my weight gain and my acne, I will be getting it removed this week."

"Even since I've had Nexplanon I've gained mad weight that no matter how much I workout I can't lose, when I think my cycle is over it's not and the headaches are the worst. Glad to be getting this out soon. The side effects isn't worth having it in."

"My two friends got the Nexplanon implant one month before I did, and they had no complaints so I decided to get it as well (Jan 17), now it is April 17 and I could not be happier with it. The three of us (all 20 years old) all got our periods once (which were slightly heavier than usual) and since then our periods have disappeared!!! We have had no side effects, cramping, or depression which we experienced while on the pill. I have recommended this to so many friends- not having your period is amazing."

"I was on nexplanon for a year. Let me just say that it was so bad. Sex was excruciatingly painful I gained a total of 60 lbs on it. In the 3 years I've been off of it I've managed to only lose 20lbs. I was moody and had really bad depression. Did do its job, yes. Was it worth the side effects, no. This was my experience on it, however everybody is different."

"I used Nexplanon for about 10 months and got it removed. While on this method, I had bleeding for months straight with little breaks. I tried to wait it out to see if my body would eventually adjust but my period never got itself to be on a cycle. It got to the point where it wasn't worth it because even when I did have sex, I had bleeding/spotting so it took away my sexual confidence. It definitely was effective and did its job but the side effects were getting in the way of my life as well as my wallet as I was always at the store buying tampons and pads (and we know how expensive this can be). I decided to get the implant removed which was a bit of a difficult experience as well. Nexplanon is effective but still needs improvement."

"I got the Nexplanon placed in January (3 months ago). The first two weeks, I bleed extremely heavy. So heavy I would bleed through a tampon and a pad within two hours. Which my doctor said was very normal for this BC. I have been on almost every BC and there are positive and negative thinking this one. I truly forgot about it being in my arm, but the non stop bleeding for me was the worse thing. I would bleed like a normal period for 7-10 days, heavy (which I have never in 27 years of life had a heavy period). Then I would spot for a few days, stop for two days, and start bleeding heavy again. I also notice if I tried to have sex in the small window of no bleeding I would start bleed right after intercourse."

"I've had my nexplanon in for 3 yrs. I've had great experience with this except I have extreme anxiety and depression which I am on medications for that now. But it's past my 3 year mark and my doctor will not take out my nexplanon. I told her it was expired and even showed her the little card they gave me when They put it in that showed the expiration date. She said it can still be working for another 2 months. I asked her I said but doesn't it lose its effectiveness and she said yes and said but it could still be working I was like well how do u know??? And she just changed the subject. Then I asked her well can't it get stuck in your muscle and tissue and she said yes but it should be good for another month or two."

"As a person who took Nexplanon for all three years, yeah it was hell my arm we terrible I was always in pain. It felt like I was pregnant all 3 years, I was experiencing pain in my veins its like I didn't have good circulation at all. My arms puffed out and cause stretch marks and yeah I went from 170 to 250 and after taking this implant off my arm I lost weight I am not tired, yet its been three week and I still haven't had my period. I suffer from depression and lots of anxiety mood swings and yes the implant did make it worst... a lot worst to where I had to fill my whole medicine cubby with a lot of meds. But it does work I will tell you that, the only thing that really bothered me was the mood swings and constant yeast infections."

"I am rating it a 10 because it provides you with what it says: protection against unplanned pregnancy. It is inserted in your arm and you literally forget about it. I used to love it, but I started noticing that I've been getting constant, raging headaches that can last for days with little to no relief, even with the use of pain meds. I also noticed that it has become very difficult for me to lose weight. I totally recommend giving nexplanon a shot, but due to these side effects that I've started getting, I will be getting it removed next week."

"When I first got it on the date of July 22 2015 it made my period heavy and up to 3 months long. Leading into the end of my first year having it my period stoped. Later on I gained 35 pounds I have stretch marks every where. I cry for no reason at times and get Bad headaches. The implant birth control definitely does its job by keeping babies away. The side effects are bad."

"First had implanon then got Nexplanon, had a period first month and I have not had one since. I'm due to remove it next year. I do notice spotting sometimes for a day but it honestly usually coincides with when I'm stressed. Had some weight gain also. So far the best BC I've had in all my years. I plan on trying for a baby next year then I will be back on it."

"I had my Nexplanon implanted 3 years ago when I was 20, which was the best decision I have ever made for my reproductive health! I've tried the pill and Nuvaring but HATED both methods. It's very difficult for me to follow a pill regimen, which is precisely why I switched to the Nuvaring. I was relatively healthy in terms of diet and physical activity and had never experienced significant weight gain prior to the Nuvaring. However, 5 months after starting the Nuvaring, I gained 30 pounds, which did horrible things to my self esteem, especially as when I was a teen I struggled with an eating disorder. Halfway through college, my OBGYN recommended the Nexplanon implant, and I've not looked back since. I'm now 23 and getting my 2nd implant in August!"

"It works.. but my period was all over the place for 3 years. I would have 3 day periods, then spotting, then back on heavy for a day then back off for a week then started all over again. Some months I'll have my period for 5 days, others 2 weeks. By the time the bleeding & brown spotting stop it's time for another cycle. This birth control was pointless for the most part because I couldn't have sex. My appetite was through the roof. And after my 3 year mark I had my period for a full MONTH, with very few spotting days in between. I'm sure it's because my body it's getting back on track. But I've had a period more on this BC then I did with out it. I've gotten pregnant on the mirena, & I didn't like this one. I think done with BC for a while"

"I was very skeptical about getting on birth control in general because I did try Depot a few years ago and was bleeding non stop for a year. But I recently got into a relationship and wanted to get on birth control so I tried Nexplanon. Once again I was skeptical after reading so many horrible reviews but decided to try it anyways. I got Nexplanon implanted mid March and I got my period the usual time of the month I was expecting it. My period usually last for 5 days but it did last for 2 weeks this time. I have now been off my period for a few days and hoping it stays off!!! No consistent bleeding, no depression, no mood swings and no loss of sex drive. So far so good. Only rated it an 8 because I haven't been on it for too long."

"I have been on the pill since I was 16. Two years ago I was put on a new pill and I noticed I was super hormonal, angry, depressed, anxious, stressed, etc. It was horrible and took me a while of tracking my moods before I was convinced it was because of my birth control. I've had the Nexplanon for a month and it has been wonderful. I know a month isn't very long, but I noticed a difference in my attitude within the first week. I feel like I have energy again, I'm able to focus, I'm happy again, I'm me. I can't believe it took me almost 2 years to realize it was my birth control ruining my life. If you feel the way I did on the pill I highly recommend trying this out. It can't hurt to try."

"I have been on nexplanon for about 10 months. It's been hell. My mood swings have been out of control and my depression has been way worse ever since I have been on this birth control. I could not be more excited to have it removed on Monday. If you struggle with depression DO NOT get on nexplanon. It will only make it worse."

"I have had no (huge) problems on this BC. I was worried after doing so much research and reading so many bad reviews, but decided to give it a try anyway: I am glad I did. I got it put in about 2 months ago and have had no spotting, weight gain, or loss of sex drive. I got my period right when I was supposed to a month after it was inserted and it lasted the normal 5 days: no heavy bleeding. The only thing that did happen was an initial breakout on my chin for a couple weeks and my hair seems to get oily a day after I wash it, but oh well. I have dealt with anxiety and slight depression in the past and it almost feels like Nexplanon mellowed my hormones out. No mood swings, no anger fits, no overreactions. So far so good!"

"I've had the nexplanon for 5 months now. I haven't stopped bleeding/spotting for the last 3 months. I've never had back acne and now it's terrible!! I can't even bare to put a tank top on it's so embarrassing. You can pinch me and feel oil coming off my skin. It's horrible. My anxiety is off the charts. This was the worst thing I possibly could have gotten on. I should have stayed on the pill."

"I've only had the implant for 4 months and have booked an appointment in 3 weeks to get it removed. I've experienced weight gain, I feel so depressed, my mood swings are all over the place, I have no energy at all, almost constantly bleeding, although it's only spotting and I haven't experienced a heavy period I'd much rather just a regular monthly period. Just counting down the days to get this removed, didn't work for my body at all."

"Absolutely terrible. I would never recommend this to anyone. I had this in for almost 3 years and was a completely different person. My mood swings were horrible and I bled all the time. I had it taken out a month ago and already feel better. I had to change doctor's because I was ready to have a hysterectomy done I was so miserable. He told me he would never recommend this and has never put one in because it makes you bloated, bleed and hormonal. I've since changed to Nuvaring and have been happy with that."

"I've been on this medication for 8 months now. I am anemic and the bleeding was fine at first. It was my normal heavy flow. I went on vacation and planned on starting while I was gone. However, I didn't. When I got my period I bled HEAVILY for about 4 wks. A tampon every hour and a half. The last day, I had a blood clot the size of my palm.Then the next four days was very very light bleeding. And then back to the heavy flow of numerous clots. It's been almost 2 months now. I've been put on a birth control. Hoping this will help. But I'm definitely changing it soon. It has made my depression and anxiety so much worse. NOT WORTH IT."

"PROS- No period and didn't get pregnant within the 2 years that I had the Nexplanon CONS- Cravings, Migraines, No energy, Weight gain (14lbs in 2 years) to be exact and that's a lot for me because I'm already a big girl, Hard to lose the weight, mood swings, fatigued, lots of depression. It's like being imaginary pregnant lol without having a baby growing inside of you."

"I've had the nexplanon implant for just under three months. The beginning had some unpleasant side effects but not much worse than any other hormonal birth control; 9 day moderate to light bleeding but then no period for two months. Effects that still persist are that my appetite increased noticeably and came with cravings for red meat even though I've been a vegetarian for years. I still get a little crampy each month, and migraines. My breasts are usually tender and have increased an entire cup size. I've put on about 12 pounds; thats after slacking off on my once regular workout routine. I'm back at the gym and the lbs are coming off, but don't let it creep up on you. You absolutely MUST exercise regularly, or you'll gain weight fast."

"I was first on implanon for 3 years until it was recalled and I had the nexplanon inserted in 2016. I bled a lot with the implanon, at first the nexplanon was great, I never had a period. Now I am constantly spotting. If I don't drink a lot of water, my body thinks I'm dehydrated, and my blood will be red, but when I drink lots of water, its brown and clears up within a few hours. I have had constant nausea where I thought I was pregnant. It's also like I haven't eaten, and makes the nausea go away afterwards. But comes back in a few hours. It is very effective for birth control. My husband and I, do not use condoms, so I know it is very effective! We are planning to get pregnant next year, and I cannot wait to get this out."

"I selected this birth control specifically for the convenience and I was under the impression that there was really no risk of weight gain. I have consistently been putting on weight since I got the implant. I equated the weight gain to the "freshman 15", but I have been eating 1700 calories a day and working out 7 days a week and the weight keeps piling on. My periods completely stopped after about 3 months, but I did not have issues with my period to start with. My mental health has not been great either, but I assumed that was also from starting my first year of college. All of my friends have this and have no complaints, but it did not work out for me at all. Getting it removed as soon as possible."

- A discussion with William Friedkin
- Audio commentary by director William Friedkin
- 16x9 widescreen
- 5.1 and 2.0 Dolby Digital audio
- English and Spanish subtitles
Academy Award-winning Exorcist director William Friedkin scuttles deep into the darkest recesses of the traumatized human psyche with this tale of a lonely bartender haunted by the long-ago disappearance of her young son, and the paranoia that emerges when she enters into a tentative relationship with a deeply disturbed drifter. Adapted from the off-Broadway play by Tracy Letts, Bug centers on Agnes (Ashley Judd), who tends bar alongside pal R.C. (Lynn Collins), and has recently moved into a shoddy roadside motel in hopes of avoiding her menacing and recently paroled ex-husband, Jerry (Harry Connick Jr.). Upon making the acquaintance of subdued former soldier Peter (Michael Shannon, repeating his stage role), a veteran of the first Gulf War, Agnes finally senses that things are looking up. Quietly charming despite his melancholy aura, Peter soon reveals to Agnes that he contracted a "bug" while serving in the Middle East, and that it may have been deliberately administered as part of a secret military medical experiment. Convinced that the microscopic insects are quickly multiplying just under the surface of his skin and that they have now infected Agnes as well, Peter soon descends into a psychotic rage as he resorts to increasingly desperate measures to purge himself of the offending subdermal arthropods. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Almost three months have past since I last visited the memorial site. This sunny day reached 10°C. Most of the snow has melted away. The site looks really good. The new park offers a really good view of the firefighter as one approaches on foot from the west.

The temperature reached -13°C and felt like - 22°C with the wind chill this day. In this cold I go in, take pictures and leave. If I get some good shot s it's only due to luck.

The snow came and it seemed like it would stay. It went away. I had a sunny relatively warm (0° C) day for photographing the site, now with a snow fence. They sun lay low in the sky. I had to watch for my shadow in my viewfinder. The lone pine looks like it has doubled its height since its planting.

Exploratory Talk
I have been developing the use of Exploratory Talk in my classroom over the last year or so and I feel that it is a powerful strategy which has had a tremendous impact on the achievement of pupils I teach. Through the training of pupils in how to use exploratory talk, a culture of high expectations and the willingness to try – take risks – develop ideas independently, has flourished and alongside it, pupils' results. For example, 95% of my Y11 GCSE English Literature class are making expected progress (the 5% who are not, refers to one pupil who has never attended a lesson) and 86% more than expected progress. This class have target grades of D-B. I was asked to share my use of exploratory talk in a whole school CPD session in January and have subsequently written this up in the following blog.
Exploratory talk (ET) is not rocket science – it is essentially getting pupils to have high quality conversations where they are sharing ideas and interpretations, asking each other high quality questions and basically thinking out loud. I first heard about it under the 'ET' title when I attended some wonderful English and Media Centre training on KS3 and Ofsted, led by Martin Phillips. He showed us clips of pupils using ET and shared a case study where a new Head of English he had been working with, had embedded ET into her department's curriculum and results (which had been very low) more than doubled. This piqued my interest and I started considering how I could develop the strategy in my classroom and department setting(s).
For more scientific data on the power of ET in transforming the learning in the classroom, I point you in the direction of an OU/ CREET publication: 'Thinking Together in the Primary Classroom,' www.thinkingtogether.educ.cam.ac.uk. This research initially focussed on pupils aged from 6-13 years old, later concentrating on a group aged 8-11 years. I am aware that this refers to primary aged pupils and my context is a secondary school one. In my view, the earlier pupils are trained in ET, the greater their capacity to develop their thinking skills and achieve – this is certainly the ideal on which we secondary schools could then build. I have found that introducing ET later, in secondary school is still tremendously valuable (as my opening paragraph illustrates). The OU/CREET research found that those groups of pupils who were using ET, solved problems more successfully due to, "the 'visible reasoning' of exploratory talk in their transcripts," enabling them to do so. Most interesting in the findings, though, was that it was not just in joint problem solving that pupils were achieving more highly: "As a result of taking part in the group experience of explicit, rational, collaborative problem-solving [children] had improved their individual reasoning capabilities. […] Children may have improved their reasoning skills by internalising or appropriating the ground rules of exploratory talk, so that they become able to carry on a kind of silent rational dialogue with themselves." The potential of ET to improve pupils' thinking skills across all subjects and for their life beyond school is extremely exciting.
Phillips had used Socratic Questioning as the basis for producing prompt cards to enable pupils to ask each other questions in order to further their group discussion. I really liked this. I have always used group tasks with pupils and to some extent, there has been ET going on in these groups, but, if I am truly honest with myself, this had been a bit hit and miss. Some pupils are engaged and deepening their understanding, some are listening but not pushing themselves to really be involved and some pupils are actively disengaged with the task and chatting/ doodling/ building a tower out of glue sticks … When we use teacher-led probing questioning, we model how to use exploratory talk. Again, when I really think about what impact this is having on pupils' learning, I have to be honest and say that the best case scenario is that everyone in the room has deepened their understanding and is thinking at a higher level and the worst case scenario is that it has just happened to the pupil I'm directing the question at. It's most likely that it is somewhere between these two extremes, but, for me, that's still not good enough – I want everyone to be engaged and learning all of the time. ET seemed to provide a way forward with this goal.
My first attempts with ET were polar opposites of each other. The first class I attempted to use it with were a Y11 MAP (middle ability pupil) class. We were working on GCSE English Literature and studying An Inspector Calls in preparation for controlled assessments. I was trying to get pupils to write developed evaluations of Mr Birling's character. I needed to move them beyond brief and superficial comments to deeper, more complex interpretations. ET seemed to be the perfect method. I had had them selecting quotes that they thought were of interest in relation to Birling's character, I then gave them a selection of Socratic questions from Phillip's training. I used those which were to 'probe and reason,' plus ones to come up with 'alternative interpretations'. I gave them a sample response and the mark scheme, asking them to grade it and use the questions to help them develop their discussion of why the candidate had got this grade, and then to look at their own quotes and use the questions to help them explore and develop their evaluations of them. Pupils were in groups of 6. The lesson built up to the different tasks – it wasn't quite all at once, as this description might suggest, however, there were too many bits of paper and activities planned in. All I succeeded in doing was confusing everyone. Pupils then ignored the question prompts and had a go at the tasks without them with the usual varying levels of engagement and success. I learned a lot from this failure, however.
Later that week, I tried again. I was working on Romeo and Juliet with a high ability Y9 class. This time I selected a couple of questions to serve as prompts for discussing what they learned about a key character (for my middle ability pupils, within the context of the group) from a speech in the text and for a key theme for the more able in the group, from a different section of the same scene. They had an overarching question of exploring what they learned about the character/ theme and the prompt cards were there for them to use to develop their ET if they needed them. The higher ability pupils (within the context of the class) had a couple of prompts to do with alternative viewpoints to encourage a range of interpretations too. There was one task and the questions were chosen carefully. Pupils then had plenty of time to explore and develop their ideas collaboratively. The work fed into independent analytical writing in the subsequent lesson, with pleasing results. I now knew that there was mileage in the strategy for my pupils.
I find that it is best to use groupings of 2-4 pupils ideally. With my Y7 group of lower ability pupils, I find pairs is the best way to go. If there are more pupils in the group then there is more chance that one of them won't be involved as they can hide behind listening to the others. No doubt they could still pick things up from listening. Responding to and asking each other questions, however, is what is crucial to pupils embedding the ET skills and developing the way they think and learn independently too. Within my classes, I have found that putting the highest ability pupils (within the context of the group) and those with a high target grade, who may be under-performing, together in one or two groups and then using mixed ability groups across the rest of the class is most successful. An example of work done on Macbeth with my Y7 group, using ET: In pairs, pupils were given between 2-4 lines from 1,1 or 1,3 from the play. My 'more challenge' group were given 8 lines. All pupils were given the overarching question of, 'why are the Witches in the play?' and then were given the prompts of, 'what is happening?' 'Why are the Witches saying/ doing this?'. The more able pair were also asked, 'are there any words you think are interesting?' and 'what does it make you think about Macbeth at this point in the play?'. What was interesting, however, was that most pairs began to focus on specific words as they talked anyway. Pupils went from notes before working through this task, where they were saying the Witches were scary, to really close analysis, "I think the Witches are evil. They are, 'wild,' which makes me think of a wild animal. They make predictions to Macbeth and I think they are not to be trusted.". I'll just throw into the mix here that this pupil arrived in September working below level 3 from the Y6 reading SAT. Here, they are making some obvious points perhaps, but this is pinned to language analysis and interpretation. They would not have got there without having the analysis broken down in this ET task and being given the space to try out interpretations – having their view valued and feeling safe to say what comes to mind and then talk about why and try to link it to the play's plot. In the past, I would probably have read the scenes with a low ability class, asking questions and interpreting out loud myself. This is good modelling, but there needs to be a point where you let go – pupils need to approach analysis/ evaluation of texts independently in order to have the confidence and the skills to do so at GCSE.
With my high ability Y11 class, who I tend to group in 3s or 4s, I have used ET since Martin Phillips' training and so they have had about 18 months of working in this way. I began by using the Socratic prompt questions – having learnt from my earlier mistakes, I kept these slimmed down to only 2 or 3 at a time, often giving higher ability groupings (within the context of the class) 2/3 questions and my mixed ability groups 1/2. I often look at the key assessment criteria which we are trying to build skills for and build this into the prompt questions. What I have found with this group now though, is, I only need to give them a general focus – 'What do we learn about the character here?' (this could refer to a very focussed passage or entire chapter/ section of a text) and they are so well used to probing and interrogating, that they will just get exploring and come up with all sorts of fabulous and intelligent ideas. These pupils have embedded the skills. They make copious notes as they talk, so they can refer back to their ideas. Whilst these pupils are a high ability class, they are the fourth set out of eight and they do not have A/A* target grades. Several pupils are on track to achieve these though. The moment when the success of the ET strategy with this Y11 class really hit home to me, was when a pupil who I had regularly spoken to about brushing her hair/ applying make-up/ getting her phone out, in the first month or so of our time working together, had a few minutes to spare having completed what I had asked everyone to do, said, "Miss, I just had a few minutes there, so I had a little think". She proceeded to show me the notes she had made as she had come up with a theory about Jekyll and Hyde which demonstrated the 'perceptive evaluation' required of the mark scheme.
I have used ET with groups to explore their writing too – trying out different pieces of punctuation and evaluating the reasons for their choices and the effects. It is not solely a tool for textual analysis. Indeed, I really believe that it has the potential to transform learning across the curriculum. As my examples show, as long as it is planned carefully, it has impact with all abilities of pupil. Following my initial success with ET, it is widely used across our English department and the strategy has now been shared in a CPD session with the wider school.

In May 2015, about 8000 people were stranded on human trafficking boats in the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. Many of them were Rohingya refugees, fleeing violence in displacement camps in Myanmar. When asked whether Australia would resettle any of the Rohingya, then Prime Minister Tony Abbott answered "nope, nope, nope".
Who are the Rohingya?
The Rohingya comprise a group of approximately 1.3 million Muslims living in the Rakhine State in Myanmar. About 140,000 of the Rohingya are displaced, having fled violence and discrimination in the Rakhine State. Over half of the displaced Rohingya are dispersed across South-East Asia. The remainder are in displacement camps in Myanmar.
The Rohingya are stateless: no country recognises them as citizens, including those who have been living in Myanmar for generations. In 1982, Myanmar passed a law denying the Rohingya citizenship. The law also removed the Rohingya's rights to freedom of movement and access to education and services and enabled the government to compulsorily acquire the Rohingya's property.
Some in Myanmar consider the Rohingya to be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Earlier this year, at the instigation of the extremist Buddhist group known as the Ma Ba Tha, the national parliament and President Thein Sein legislated to deny the Rohingya and other ethnic minorities voting rights in Myanmar, and disqualified their candidates from the national election.
But with the recent victory of Aung Sun Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party (NLD) in Myanmar's first open democratic election in 25 years, the Rohingya are hopeful that they will be recognised as citizens of Myanmar.
What the election means for the Rohingya
In mid-November, the NLD won a landslide election victory. But the party has so far done little to indicate that the Rohingya will be granted citizenship in Myanmar. Suu Kyi did not acknowledge the Rohingya as people of Myanmar during the election campaign and not one of the candidates for the NLD in the election was Muslim, despite the 5 million Muslims who live in Myanmar. Suu Kyi is also barred from becoming president under the Constitution of Myanmar, and the extent of her power under the new government remains to be seen.
Nevertheless, representatives of the Rohingya living in refugee camps in India remain hopeful. The international community has voiced its concern about the plight of the Rohingya, and the international NGO Human Rights Watch has described the issue as the "single most defining test of [the Myanmar] government's commitment to democratic change and the rule of law".
Australia's response
In a report entitled Deadly Journeys, Amnesty International said that Rohingya refugees were killed and beaten by traffickers, and kept in inhumane conditions at sea during the crisis in May 2015.
Australia was criticised for refusing to resettle any of the Rohingya refugees who were stranded at sea or who reached Indonesia during the crisis. While Australia gave over $1 million to the UNHCR during the refugee crisis, unlike Malaysia and Indonesia, it did not offer to shelter or resettle any of the Rohingya. This response has been contrasted with Australia's offer to accept an emergency intake of 12,000 Syrians fleeing violence in the Middle East.

I cannot stand to watch the smirking monkey on the idiot box, so I'll have to take everyone's word for it when he appears on television. Antiwar has a good article about The War Criminal In The Living Room.
Whatever form of government Bush is operating under, it is far outside an accountable constitutional democratic government. Bush has transitioned America to caesarism, and even if Bush leaves office in January 2009, the powers he has accumulated in the executive will remain. Unless Bush and Cheney are impeached and convicted, there is no prospect of the US Congress and federal judiciary ever again being co-equal branches of government.
I'm having serious doubts we'll see the monkey leave in 2009, but anything is possible I suppose. In the meantime, the planned destruction continues. Stay tuned, Iran news is just getting warmed up…
This is disturbing, lots of news on the Net about war crimes — Marines Ordered Execute Civilians.

Forty Years/Forty Portraits
Kickstarting the Guy Mendes retrospective
by Bianca Spriggs
There was a time once where an artist could get noticed by sitting at home and sending out queries and samples to various curators and editors. This was probably around the same time gas cost like $0.08 a gallon. Nowadays, you got a vision? Then, with apologies to Asher Roth, you better G.R.I.N.D. until you grind out. But with a website like Kickstarter in one's arsenal, artists have a wonderful, user friendly platform to fund projects of all price-tags. How? By capitalizing (pun intended) on our country's "something for something" mentality.
|Eddie Bracken & Ashley Judd, Woodford County 1999
They raised $9,325 on Kickstarter with the help of 148 backers by October 4th of this year. For every pledge, a backer got a little something special. At the one dollar level, the backer received "the pleasure of giving," and the deal sweetened significantly from there including a postcard signed by Mendes, a signed copy of 40/40, a studio tour, a private photography workshop, and your own "Bluegrass Portrait," that Mendes would make of you. At the $1,000 level, a backer would receive a limited-edition signed copy of 40/40 that included two original 8"x10" silver gelatin prints.
Kickstarter is a website dedicated to grassroots fundraising for creative projectschanging the world, one brush stroke, one word, and one well-placed dollar at a time. Kickstarter's "A New Way to Fund and Follow Creativity" mantra is contagious, most recently garnering nods from heavyweight media outlets like the New York Times and NPR. From funding an alternative to the world's most popular online social forum, to saving the honeybees, to recording albums, or publishing books, Kickstarter says to the creative person with even a dash of drive, in the words of a gifted visual artist friend of mine, "You give me the guts, I'll create the glory!"
Mendes is celebrating forty years of taking photos through the stunning collection of photos 40/40: Forty Years, Forty Portraits. Jones has put together a stunning breadth of exhibitions in the short time that I-193 has been open with little else but shoestring and spit and what he says is simply a can-do attitude, "I like getting things done. We've run this space on $15,000 this year—we don't have any money, but we have a book now."
As Jones calls Mendes "one of the most significant photographers in the South," it's no surprise he did not balk at an opportunity to showcase Mendes' work on this scale, especially since Jones has known of Kickstarter for some time through friends who have benefited from its use in bigger cities. Jones says he will definitely use Kickstarter as a resource again.
Mendes says, "I wouldn't want to go to the well too often, and I have to say I wouldn't mind using the old model, where the publisher pays an advance and covers all the production and distribution costs. If that doesn't happen I might try kickstarter again down the road, after 40/40 goes on its two-year tour. I realize not all kickstarter projects get funded. I've seen a couple of friends get funded and others whose projects didn't meet its goal. So I don't take it for granted that we could replicate the success of 40/40, but I'd be willing to try.
The premise of the collection and the exhibition is two-fold. One, Mendes will open his cache of images up to the public for the first time in twenty-four years through an exhibition of photos (opening on December 9 at I-193) to accompany the release of 40/40. The second, Jones says, is to give people a feeling as if they've just embarked on a visit to Mendes' studio, "The idea of this book came from hanging out with Guy in his studio. You show up at his studio, have a beer, and there's a stack of prints he'll start going through. We wanted the book to be really personal and intimate, like you're going to his studio talking with him. You get these stories, these very serious things, and sometimes funny things." And so, these timeless images are accompanied by a brief bit of context to pin them down in time.
The exhibit, which includes 25 photos, will be shown next year at UK's Chandler Hospital, and will then be exhibited on a two-year tour of Southern galleries.
And whether we recognize the subjects of these portraits or not, some with more recognizable faces than others including James Baker Hall, Ashley Judd, Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin, James Still, Ed McClanahan, and Bradley Harrison Picklesimer, the viewer is pricked with familiarity. Like running into long-lost acquaintances at the store or a party. How do you take the face of stranger and make it feel like a friend?
Mendes apprenticed under the late James Baker Hall (author/photographer/UK faculty/and former Kentucky poet laureate) in 1971, and went on to teach photography at UK himself for 14 years. His day job was at KET, where he was an award-winning documentarian as a writer/producer from 1973 until he retired in 2008.
|Wendell Berry, Henry County, KY 2003
Jones agrees in his Director's Note, "40/40 is a whirlwind studio tour disguised as a book. Its pages are filled with portraits, verbal and visual, guiding the viewer through moments in the lives of 40 people who have crossed paths with the artist along his own meandering course. From the streets of New Orleans to the hills of Kentucky, Guy Mendes has spent the past 40 years rambling around the South, twisting and pulling light through his lens and giving us the people and places we all recognize but were never able to see."
Mendes says, "Since about half of the subjects in the book and exhibit are no longer among us, part of what I'm up to is ancestor worship, calling up the dearly departed, bringing them to light to pay homage and remember the gift of their spirits. As for the half that's still on the hoof, I think we need to show them the love while we make our way together through this time and place. I hope, too, that people will enjoy the silver prints. B & W old school is on the endangered disciplines list, but there are plenty of us practitioners still out here, looking at the world through grey scale glasses."
The 40/40 exhibit opens December 9 at Institute 193 and continues through January 30. Mendes will sign the new book at Morris Book Shop on December 11.

Yankee Springs O-Meet
May 15, 2011
Meet Director: Mike Keeting
Volunteers: Mary Jean Keating, Joe & Becca Burkhead, Tom Lee, Rick Waldo, Mark & Sabastian Voit, Mark Hoskins and his boy scouts
Despite the cold (for May 15th), windy, and rainy weather, there were 35 participants (plus some adult boy scout supervisors). The participants included 3 from the Chicago Area Orienteering Club: Chris Svoboda, Bruce Metz, and Rich Gaylord. The wind died down and was not an issue in the woods. The woods were wet, but otherwise it was beautiful orienteering (mostly very nice open woods with some very interesting terrain).
Mark Hoskins had been working with his boy scouts on compass use, map reading, and pace counting, and also learning how to organize and run a meet. There were 9 scouts there plus adult volunteer supervisors. The scouts helped with the equipment setup for the meet. They divided into 4 groups to do the white course (each group also had several adult supervisors along). Then they went back out and did the yellow course (although Mark had said not to time them – because they were getting help and instructions). Finally the scouts (and adult supervisors) picked up the white and yellow controls and helped with the equipment take down. Great job scouts! Thanks for your help.
Many thanks to Mary Jean Keating for helping with running the meet and to Tom Lee who helped with the start and also with control pickup. Rick Waldo, Mark Voit, and Sabastian Voit also helped with control pickup. Thanks to Joe and Becca Burkhead for helping put out controls on Saturday.
As usual, there were some interesting discussions among the participants on route choices to various controls. Mark Voit cruised to first on the red course 69 minutes 30 seconds. Anas Orfali was first on the green course in 98 minutes and 16 seconds. Rich Gaylord was first on the orange course in 110 minutes 42 seconds. Young Sabastian Voit (doing all of his own navigation) was first on yellow 63 minutes 47 seconds. Boy scouts Jake Brower & Neil Hoskins burned the white course to finish first in 38 minutes 30 seconds. First timer Micah Woods and his son did both the white and the yellow courses.
Igor Guskov is out of town, so red and green splits won't be on the website until after the May 22 meet.

Recent guest reviews
checked in at about 830 pm first room went in the location was great but bed had hair sheets had stains, they gave us another room went in immediately saw a roach on the wall( said okay) but then it had roaches in the bathroom they gave us a third room it was okay, at check out gave worker my suggestion paper and she just jerk the cards and said thank you and kept pecking on the computer
Front desk guest services are phenomenal! Nice entry and great music in foyer.
The hotel was great. Staff was very helpful and polite, they were even able to accommodate us for one extra night since we arrived early. Would definitely book there again! The room was nice and comfortable, our two boys enjoyed the stay as did we.
The beds were very comfortable. The room was clean and the location was excellent.
Good value - rooms were clean and bath room nice. Business trip and had to coordinate 6 team members arrival at once. Hotel was accommodating.
Very friendly staff, clean room, and well worth the budget friendly price. Would not hesitate to stay here again in the future!
Nice, clean hotel for a short stay for business or for a short trip.
Staff very helpful and friendly. Cafe in the lobby is great. Rooms very clean and comfortable.
I arrived to the hotel late Friday night and everything seemed perfect. I woke up Saturday morning, took a shower, and proceeded to get dressed. I heard a noise in the bathroom and walked in to see dirty brown water and sediment bubbling up from the drain filling the tub up. I notified the front desk and the moved me to another room. Upon returning to the new room late Saturday night, I noticed that the door would not lock from the inside. I again told the front desk and the moved me to a new handicap room. Three rooms in less than 24 hours time was a bit ridiculous, not to mention that every time I tried to go in the back or side doors my keys would not work. That caused me to have to walk all the way around the building to the front in order to get to my room.
Nice clean, attractive room. I was bummed at no continental breakfast.
Ma and my wife stayed there with my parents for 3 nights. Quiet and comfortable.
The only problem I had was the sink and toilet didn't have a lot of pressure. The shower had lots of pressure and saw some hair in the toilet and shower area. Overall though great place.
The weekend was great. Had a wonderful time. Tje hotel was greay camt wait for another getaways
Overall it was an ok expierence. Really wish the hotel had an elevator since it was hard walking up the stairs with all our luggage and our baby. The room was very clean and comfortable. The iron and mini fridge came in very handy. My kids enjoyed the pool and loved sitting and taking pictures under the gazebo. The beds were oh so comfortable. We all just drifted away as soon as we lay down to sleep. Loved the fact that is was just minutes away from the Galleria Mall
The room was ok, staff was great. Don't like that you have to pay for breakfast and the fact that the pull out mattress on sofa was full of Nasty nasty stains.
This was my second stay at this hotel, the location is great on restaurant row and next to a Crown Plaza hotel which has a nice bar.( there is no bar at hotel). However, the rooms have microwaves and the front desks sells a variety of meals you can microwave, snacks, drinks and beer and wine. The beds are very comfortable and they give you Paul Mitchel shampoo and conditioner and they have blow dryers in room so no need to bring one. Also, they have free wifi and business center with computers, printers and fax machine, all at no additional costs. You cant beat the value of this hotel. I will be back
Perfect location. It was very quiet and relaxing. Staff was very polite and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable.
Stayed during Dallas cup week and was kept up all night by running kids and loud door slams. this hotel needs to fix its doors. Also was put in a handicap accessible room which was fine but the bathroom sink was small and the bathroom smelled like a hospital... not a pleasant stay. I travel to Dallas and stay in this area often. i will not be staying here again!
We loved the location, and the room was nice. There was no elevator but there are only two floors so that wasnt a big deal and we had a short stay so there wasnt much luggage to haul up the stairs. The walls however are VERY thin. We heard every door shut/open all night, conversations and phones ringing in other rooms, and the last night of out stay our nextdoor neighbor decided to have late night company that was very loud and active.
The rooms were both clean. The beds were some of the best I've slept on in a hotel. Check in and out was very fast. I'd stay again.
