Oji has recently married her cousin Iliad and now hopes to leave her home city behind and start a new life with him in Tehran. But when her father suddenly dies, Oji takes a job in the local post office in order to support her young family. One day some missing cash from the post office turns up in Oji's bag and she is accused of theft. Distraught at the recent turn of events in her life, Oji walks back along the railway line, and in doing so gets hit by a train and loses one of her legs. Angry and grief-stricken, her husband Iliad decides to work with local officer Ebrahim to investigate the theft at the post office and track down the real culprit. The dark and at times gritty cinematography, coupled with a haunting soundtrack, lends an air of pain and mourning to proceedings in this powerful and gut-wrenching drama.

L. Teresi[1], V. Varano[1]
[1]LaMS - Modelling & Simulation Lab, Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Roma, Italy
Nematic Elastomers (NEs) possess both the elastic properties of rubbers and the orientational properties of liquid crystals. Those two properties makes the configuration of NEs very sensitive to isotropic-nematic phase transition. Our goal is to replicate with numerical experiments the phenomena of shape formation in Twist-Nematic Elastomers (TNEs): a flat bar evolves into a helicoidal shape ...

Altoona Mirror (Newspaper) - November 28, 2001, Altoona, Pennsylvania < THE HEAT: MIRROR'S WINTER SPORTS TAB FREE INSIDE IN SPORTS: PATERNO SAYS SATURDAY'S PERFORMANCE KEY ► PAGE Bl Area players help Juniata to Final Four make nutritious gifts Altona mirror © Copyright 2001 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2001 50t newsstand ■HHH Blair won't pursue Curve ownership By Phil Ray Staff Writer HOLLIDAYSBURG - Blair County commissioners said unanimously Tuesday that they are not interested in purchasing the Altoona Curve Cla§s AA baseball team. Commissioners said they want the team's sale completed as soon as possible, County weighs in with new fee ■ Blair businesses now must pay $7.50 for each device used for measurements. By Phil Ray Staff Writer HOLLIDAYSBURG - Although Blair County's $51 million budget does not contain a real-estate tax increase in 2002, a new fee has been added so consumers get what they pay for when they go to the store or purchase gasoline. The county has few sources of local revenue other than the real-estate tax, Commissioner John J. Ebersole said. ■ Jail, court costs blamed for Huntingdon tax hike / Page A7 ■ Cash-strapped Bedford votes to increase levy / Page A10 The county had to do something to help pay for its Department of Weights and Measures after Altoona City Council decided it no longer would help pay for the program under which scales in stores and gasoline pump computers are checked for accuracy. So commissioners Tuesday passed an ordinance that requires annual registration of commercial weighing and measuring devices. The ordinance will require businesses to pay $7.50 for each measuring device. Ralph P. Diehl Jr., the county's sealer of weights and measures, said the fee should raise $25,092, about half the cost of the department. The fee stems from City Council's attempts to save money by refusing to help fund weights and measures. Please see Fee/Page A9 but they acknowledged tho county's option to buy the team has complicated matters. Altoona Baseball Properties, owned by majority owner Robert Lozinak and minority partner J. Taylor DeWeese, has decided to sell the Curve to a group headed by Pittsburgh attorney Charles E. Greenberg. But according to a contract signed by Lozinak, DeWeese and county commissioners in 1998, the county has an option to match any offer the present owners ve. The city of Harris five years ago purchased the Eastern League's Senators, but county Commissioner Donna Gority pointed out that the Senators were about to be moved from Harrisburg, a step that would have pulled the rug out from under major development plans the city was undertaking. No such situation exists in Altoona, and Greenberg has said he will not move the Curve. "I don't think any of us are seriously interested in purchasing a team," Gority said. "It seems to me it would operate more efficiently with private owners." Gority said the county would have a major financial problem if it purchased the team. It would cost several million dollars, and Gority isn't sure that commissioners would have the borrowing power to come up with such a large sum. Please see Curve/Page A9 SEEING THE LIGHT Mirror photo by J.D Cavrich Light-emitting diode traffic signals, including the one pictured above at Union and Margaret avenues, have green arrows that shine brighter than incandescent ones. Traffic signals save electricity By Mark Leberfinger Staff Writer New, more-efficient traffic signals are a part of the Altoona landscape. During the last two years, the city of Altoona has replaced red and green arrow incandescent lights for light-emitting diodes. The replacement project cost between $25,000 and $30,000, city public works Director David Dietrich said. PennDOT, which approved the LED signals for statewide use, says the signals are not only brighter than incandescent traffic signals, but Please see Light/Page A9 WAR ON TERRORISM ► Pages Cl, C4 U.S. planes hit leaders' compound BY THOM SHANKER and James Dao New. York Times News Service TAMPA, Fla. — American warplanes bombed a compound southeast of Kandahar, Afghanistan, Tuesday that the Pentagon said was used by leaders of the Taliban, al-Qaida and Wafa, an Islamic foundation accused of terrorist activities. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said the compound was damaged and fatalities were likely, but he added that it was too early to know who might have been killed in the attack. Officials said they did not know whether Mullah Muhammad Omar, the leader of the Taliban, or Osama bin Laden was present at the compound when it was struck. "Whoever was there is going to wish they weren't," Rumsfeld said after visiting the U.S. Central Command, which is overseeing the war in Afghanistan. "It was clearly a leadership area," he said, and he explained the site was bombed after surveillance had picked up evidence of "nontrivial leadership activity." Providing their most explicit details to date in the hunt for bin Laden, senior Pentagon officials said Tuesday that the military was focusing its search for the al-Qaida leader and the Taliban leadership on the region around Kandahar in southern Afghanistan and a narrow band of mountainous, cave-riddled terrain stretching from Kabul to the Khyber Pass and including areas outside Jalalabad. Senior military officials also said the Pentagon had identified 40 Afghan laboratories and industrial facilities, some of them in areas still controlled by Taliban or al-Qaida ii Whoever was there is going to wish they weren't. Donald Rumstold, Secretary of Defense , lf forces, that are suspected of having the potential for producing biological or chemical weapons. American officials have visited some of the sites and begun tests to determine whether biological or chemical weapons, or their precursors, had been produced there. The officials said the sites would be destroyed if conclusive evidence were found, but they said the chemicals uncovered so far could be used for making fertilizer and other nonmilitary products. "We have acquired a great deal of samples, and now what we need to do is be very thorough in the analysis," Gen. Tommy R. Franks, commander of American forces in Afghanistan, said Tuesday in a news conference at a hotel near his headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base here. Franks said that, thus far, tests had not confirmed the presence of chemical or biological weapons. "If I thought I had my hands on a vial of sarin gas, then I'd be a bit more circuitous in my answer," he told reporters. "And so no, we have not found something that we believe is a specific thing.

"Moonshine is very profitable; it's run like a corporation, and the people at the top are very rich." Philadelphia most recently entered the public eye as a moonshine hub in March 2000 when 27 people from North Carolina to Philadelphia were indicted as part of a federal crackdown on the illegal whiskey trade called Operation Lightning Strike. The popularity of "white lightning" in Philadelphia surprised some, but authorities say the city has been a popular stop on moonshiners' maps for decades. There are no firm figures on how much illegal liquor is made in the United States each year. But investigators say modern-day moonshiners make millions of dollars by pro viding whiskey for illegal "shot houses" in Philadelphia and other East Coast cities where the clear com liquor is sold for as little as $1 per shot. "It has a distribution network and a hierarchy of people working to make as much money as they can," McEntire said. "It operates like a drug cartel."

i wake up
cold sweat overwelms my body
it wasn't just last week
you held me in yours arms
telling me that you love me.
not just last week
that you kissed my forehead
called me your princess.
now i wake up alone.
reaching out for you
only to be dissapointed
and heartbroken
to see you're not reaching back
i wake up alone
from these horrifing nightmares
we once called a dream, a fairy tail

"Boring" is a word my 11-year-old uses about any subject outside his immediate range of interest. I normally respond by telling him that as he grows older and understands more, then the world around him will appear increasingly interesting and relevant.
You comment: "People want to be inspired, provoked and, yes, entertained by their representatives." Herein lies the slippery slope to political manipulation, venality and the sound-bite. The job of our politicians is to debate and resolve issues of national importance and to legislate on them; entertainment is the remit of Match of the Day and The Fast Show.

Mean Teachers
Right, people often moan about teachers and there are plenty teachers to moan about...sorry to any good teachers because there are some of those too, I am aware. So this exercise is an opportunity to have a good, real moan about your worst teachers and get all those disgusted, defiant, whining thoughts out of your head. Perhaps you may even end up liking your teacher a bit better having cleared your head.
RULES: very strictly no names.
SUGGESTIONS: ask yourself why your teacher behaves as they do - unless it's just sheer nastiness, which is self-explanatory.
NOTES: I'm not going to mark this as Mature, so curb your accounts of the worst teachers. Just have your moan like everyone does, and make it worthwhile!

What will the pope and patriarch say about General el-Sisi and his relatively moderate regime? It is better for Christians that he is in power, but the Muslim majority also feels grieved that he seized power from the popular Muslim Brotherhood. Do Christian leaders stand with Christians against...
Khaled Al-Qazzaz was initially held incommunicado for more than five months, his family said, with Egyptian authorities not acknowledging he was in custody
The two men allegedly passed documents related to national security to Qatar and the Doha-based TV network during the rule of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi
There is a faint hope that Mohamed Fahmy, who holds Canadian citizenship, could still be deported under el-Sissi's decree
The former Muslim Brotherhood president's sentence was among more than 100 handed down last month by the same court after two sweeping mass trials
It is not clear if Morsi will be executed though Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi repeatedly has defended the independence of the judiciary
Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, was ousted by the military in July 2013 following days of mass street protests by Egyptians demanding that he be removed because of his divisive policies
An Egyptian criminal court on Monday sentenced 22 people to death after convicting them of storming a police station outside Cairo and killing an officer on July 3, 2013 - the day the military overthrew an elected but divisive Islamist president.
Just what would constitute an insult however was unclear. Such a law would infringe on the freedom of expression guaranteed by the nation's new constitution
The swiftness and harshness of the rulings on such a large scale underlined the extent to which Egypt's courts have been politicized

Ghosts in the machine. Literally. I'm helping out at the Oracle User Group in Birmingham tomorrow and Wednesday (yes, it's also running today), and was planning on demonstrating some of the features in the latest Windows Vista build. However, on Sat morning, Halloween definitely came early – I was answering an email on my big work laptop (Dell 5160) when it hung. 4 secs on the power button, and now it won't get through BIOS startup. Tried swapping out memory chips, removing all peripherals, disk, even running on battery, but it's just one giant paperweight now. Ironic that it's just (by days) out of warranty! Plan B was to get Windows Vista running on my D600 Dell spare machine but with only 1GB. Nowhere near as powerful, much slower disk etc. However, remember I do have 2GB of spare memory in the 5160, so I put that into the D600.
I'd already started the install at the end of last week on the D600 anyway, just needed to complete the driver installation. All was going well until I tried to get the wireless adapter (Dell TrueMobile 1300 which is a rebadged Broadcom adapter by the look of it). I tried no less than 6 different versions of the driver, all of which fail. Some spectacularly (blue-screen), others which just cause the machine to hang until you power it off, others which allude to install until you enable the device. Regardless, no wireless. This was doing my head in. Then I remembered something someone mentioned a few months back about certain drivers don't work if you have more than 1GB of RAM under Windows Vista. No, couldn't be a case of that could it? Yes, that's exactly what it is. Reducing the D600 back to 1GB lets the all varients of the driver install and I'm back on wireless. Strange things indeed. At least I'll have something to demo tomorrow…..
PS – Looks like I'll be ordering a Toshiba M3 to replace the Dell 5160 paperweight. Not what I need (like 64-Bit dual core, 4GB ram…..) but it's the best I'm going to get with the corp budget for now 🙁

Ontario's securities watchdog has moved closer to laying out its case against Sino-Forest Corp. and six former and current executives by sending enforcement notices that allege the Chinese forestry company misled investors.
The company said it received a notice from the Ontario Securities Commission last Thursday alleging that Sino-Forest engaged in conduct contrary to the province's securities act. The document cited sections of the act related to fraud, market manipulation and making untrue or misleading statements, although Sino-Forest did not give detail on which specific allegations are being made.
The notice "contains allegations of a serious nature," it said in a release Monday.
The OSC's move signals the likely beginning of a new phase in the saga of a company that, just a year ago, was the largest publicly traded forestry company on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Since then, it has collapsed under the weight of accusations that it massively overstated its assets – primarily forestland in mainland China – and last month sought court protection from its creditors. Sino-Forest is now trying to find buyers for its assets, and shareholders are unlikely to see a penny of return from what was once a $6-billion company.
The commission typically issues enforcement notices at the end of an investigation, identifying matters of concern and advising that staff are contemplating launching proceedings. The notices are intended to allow targets of investigations an opportunity to respond before formal allegations are unveiled.
Sino-Forest said it has learned that notices were also sent to company founder and former chief executive officer Allen Chan, as well as former top officials Albert Ip, Alfred Hung, George Ho and Simon Yeung. The company's chief financial officer, David Horsley, also received a notice, the company said.
Absent from the list is current CEO Judson Martin, who was appointed to the top job last summer after Mr. Chan resigned as CEO.
"The company is considering what steps it will take, including in relation to company personnel, as a result of the enforcement notice," Sino-Forest said in its release.
While Sino-Forest did not elaborate on the personnel matters it is reviewing, a number of the people who received enforcement notices are still employed at the company, including Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Hung, Mr. Ho and Mr. Yeung have been on administrative leave since last summer. Mr. Ho and Mr. Hung are still listed as executives on Sino-Forest's website, while Mr. Chan is listed as "founding chairman emeritus," which is a non-executive position. Mr. Ip resigned from Sino-Forest at the end of March, but agreed to serve as a consultant on a part-time basis.
The company said Monday the allegations contained in the enforcement notices are "consistent" with claims made in a cease trade order last August when the OSC halted trading of Sino-Forest's shares, citing concerns about possible fraud. The move came after short-seller Carson Block issued a scathing report alleging the company was a "Ponzi" scheme.
The OSC alleged at the time that the company and some of its officers, including Mr. Chan, "appear to be engaging or participating in acts, practices or a course of conduct related to its securities which it and/or they know or reasonably ought to know perpetuate a fraud."
The cease trade notice said the company appeared to have "engaged in significant non-arm's length transactions" and that some of its officials "appear to have misrepresented some of its revenue and/or exaggerated some of its timber holdings" in public filings "which may have been false or misleading in a material respect."
The TSX is planning to delist Sino-Forest shares on May 9. They haven't traded since August.
The company said Monday it "believes that it has co-operated" with OSC staff in the investigation.Report Typo/Error

Counting Down the Hours
... week. Our second year we spend on eight different rotations, seven of which are considered "core" rotations and one "elective". Each rotation last 6 weeks and is meant to assist us in rounding out our knowledge so that we may grow into experienced practitioners.
My first rotation was in primary care and I absolutely loved it! My second rotation, as you may have guessed, is in.... INDIA! ...
Scenic drive through upstate New York
Campground $30
Gas $2.39
Very scenic drive through New York State, heading toward the Adirondacks - the trees are very green but with some fall colours just starting. The campsite is rustic and very quiet, not too busy.
Highlights: Downtown Corning, beautiful town with old buildings and pretty parks
Rest stops are labelled "Text Stops" - very clever!
Hall of fame OMG worth every minute
... I cannot thank LIn enough for the effort of waiting as it was at least a million degrees and the dogs were hot as hell but survived they did !!
The Hall of Fame is absolutely unbelievable and a boyhood dream come true, they have a staggering amount of memorabilia and stories, from the plaques honoring the inductee's to bats and balls from the mid 1800's when baseball first started.
To go into detail would take days, it was an emotional journey and ...
Three states today top that!!
... no small feat I might add.
The drive through the Cherry Valley to this point has been wonderful, great scenery and full of history. The folks who are familiar with James Fenimore Copper( he wrote the Last of the Mohicans ) it was set in this Valley and for you baseball affectionatos Abner Doubleday founded the game right here --I know hard to believe but true.
Yes this is Greg doing the blog .
Great RV Park very quiet and the dogs ...
Cusart Homers in Cooperstown

We met for lunch and ate outside at a caf�. Lunch was good. I don't remember what we had. :) I only remember the hostess's pants. They were memorable, and not in a good way!
OK, off to Verona, NY to stay at a place near Colgate University. Going to Colgate and tomorrow. We stayed at the Fairfield Inn. Woman at the front ...

VIDEO: C.J. Wilson trips, falls on way to mound
Watch C.J. Wilson suffer an embarrassing fall as he runs to the mound in Tropicana Field. He was a good sport about it, so there's that.
Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson suffered a rather embarrassing gaffe in Tropicana Field Tuesday night. Witness:
Kudos to him for the good sport reaction afterward, in miming an attempt to avoid "snipers." It happens to the best of us, it's how you handle the moment that matters.
Also, this wasn't the worst fall of the year. Not even close. Take it away, Chad Qualls:

Traveling with a disability
Traveling with a disability can present some unique challenges. This is particularly true when looking for a resort or beach town that is wheelchair, scooter or walker accessible. To make planning your trip a little bit easier, we've researched resorts (and services) that accommodate everyone comfortably.
Although Mexico is not known to be particularly accessible for those with limited mobility, there are resorts (and beaches) that are wheelchair-friendly.
- The Royal Playa Del Carmen: Provides wheelchair accessible rooms and public areas which are wheelchair accessible.
- The Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso: Wheelchair accessible rooms and public areas are available throughout the resort. The beach outside the resort has a boardwalk the entire length of it so it is accessible for those with limited mobility.
- Barcelo Maya Caribe: This resort is completely wheelchair accessible, minus the spa area.
- The Secrets Maroma Beach hotel and Secrets Akumal (adults-only options): AMResorts (which Secrets are a part of) comply with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). This means they are wheelchair-friendly.
Note: Playa Del Carmen has two public beaches with access for handicapped individuals. Be sure to check out the one at the south end of town near the Cozumel Ferry Pier. It has a boardwalk to the beach and beach wheelchairs available. To plan a tour that is disability-friendly, or to rent medical equipment in Cancun, check out Cancun Accessible services.
Barbados has built itself a reputation for accessibility, in part due to the Fully Accessible Barbados (FAB) initiative. This island-wide action plan was enacted to make the Caribbean country more accessible for those with a range of disabilities. The FAB website provides a list of restaurant, places and hotels that are disability-friendly. They also rent out beach wheelchairs.
- Hilton Barbados: Fully accessible for those with mobility issues and also suitable for blind or deaf/hearing impaired.
- Radisson Barbados: Fully accessible for those with mobility issues and also suitable for blind or deaf/hearing impaired.
Although not historically disability-friendly, Aruba is making rapid advancements to become so.
- Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino: This resort has one specialty room and the resort is wheelchair accessible.
- Radisson Aruba resort: The Radisson has an impressive six rooms on the ground floor with bath rails and wheelchair accessible doorways. Two of these rooms also have roll-in showers.
Note: Adapted Happy Wheels is an Aruba-based company that rents beach wheelchairs which can maneuver through sand and float in a pool or the ocean.
Wheelchair-friendly transport is available but beware of Jamaica's hills and uneven terrain.
- Iberostar Rose Hall
- Sandals Negril: Has Wheelchair-friendly rooms and can provide beach wheelchairs.
- Sandals Montego Bay: Beach is wheelchair accessible. No wheelchair-specific rooms but doors are wide enough and can provide a bench in the bathroom.
U.S. Territories + Hawaii
Hawaii and the United States territories (such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) are great options for travelers with mobility restrictions. Their affiliation with the U.S. means that hotels on these islands must comply with the ADA and provide handicapped-accessible amenities up to the same standards as the U.S. This also applies to public places and attractions.
Note: The Sea Without Barriers at Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico is an ADA-compliant facility that allows those with mobility issues to enjoy basking in the water. Wheelchair users have the option to take a paved path to a partially submerged platform, where they can relax in the warm water. There are also wheelchairs for rent that are designed to enter the water, as well as accessible bathrooms, showers, and other facilities.
Traveling with a wheelchair has become easier than ever before and many resorts pride themselves on being accessible. This list is by no means exhaustive and should you require more information on wheelchair-friendly hotels and destinations please contact us here.

Reporting from Washington: The History of the Washington Press Corpsby Donald A. Ritchie
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Donald Ritchie offers a vibrant chronicle of news coverage in our nation's capital, from the early days of radio and print reporting and the heyday of the wire services to the brave new world of the Internet. Beginning with 1932, when a newly elected FDR energized the sleepy capital, Ritchie highlights the dramatic changes in journalism that have occurred in the last seven decades. We meet legendary columnists--including Walter Lippmann, Joseph Alsop, and Drew Pearson --as well as the great investigative reporters, from Paul Y. Anderson to the two green Washington Post reporters who launched the political story of the decade--Woodward and Bernstein. We read of the rise of radio news--fought tooth and nail by the print barons--and of such pioneers as Edward R. Murrow, H. V. Kaltenborn, and Elmer Davis. Ritchie also offers a vivid history of TV news, from the early days of Meet the Press, to Huntley and Brinkley and Walter Cronkite, to the cable revolution led by C-SPAN and CNN. In addition, he compares political news on the Internet to the alternative press of the '60s and '70s; describes how black reporters slowly broke into the white press corps (helped mightily by FDR's White House); discusses path-breaking woman reporters such as Sarah McClendon and Helen Thomas, and much more. From Walter Winchell to Matt Drudge, the people who cover Washington politics are among the most colorful and influential in American news. Reporting from Washington offers an unforgettable portrait of these figures as well as of the dramatic changes in American journalism in the twentieth century.
Editorial Reviews
"A fascinating, meticulously documented look at some of the profession's defining moments and battles. Ritchie, a longtime historian for the U.S. Senate, writes with a journalist's eye for conflict, character and the dramatic details that make larger stories come alivereviving long-forgotten conflicts, resignations and romances.... Sprinkled throughout is a treasure trove of pithy quotes from some of journalism's most prominent practitioners, praising, explaining and (plus ca change) disparaging their chosen profession and colleagues."Garance Franke-Ruta, Washington Post Book World
"Engrossing.... Should remind sky-is-falling press critics there is little new in the current trend toward ideological reporting and attack-dog journalism.... Sizzling...a kind of press corps confidential."Columbia Journalism Review
"A real treat.. Over the course of some 270-some-oddly compelling pages, he proceeds to tell the reader everything one could conceivably want to know about practicing journalism in a city where there are 5 journalists for every elected official. While technically focused on the nation's capitol, his book more broadly tells the evolution of the news industry, including the major newspapers, wire services, the witch hunts, and he masterfully explores the arrival and (very) grudging eventual acceptance of radio, television, women, and minority reporters over many decades."FishbowlDC
"Thoughtful.... Full of good dish about the likes of Lippman and the Alsops. Of much interest of students of national politics and the media."Kirkus Reviews
"'Reporting From Washington' makes one thing clear: The glory days of Washington reporting never really existed. There were always journalists who engaged in back-scratching and dubious sourcing. The best of them loomed larger than life, outlasting the presidents they covered."Jonathan Karl, Wall Street Journal
"Ritchie presents a rich perspective on the people who write the first draft of history, investigating and then breaking the Teapot Dome and Watergate scandals, among others. He also chronicles the changes in the makeup of the press corps and its relationship with Washington power brokers."Booklist
"Well-researched and equally well-written.... A perceptive and balanced account covering issues ranging from the grudging acceptance of women by the National Press Club to the birth of the Internet and its impact on traditional news coverage.... Plumbs memoirs, oral histories, broadcast archives, interviews and other sources for a rich lode of anecdotes and information."Sacramento Bee
"Covers almost every issue relevant to the growth and change of American media in the modern era, from FDR's revolutionary use of radio to an analysis of media coverage of 9/11. Drawing on oral histories, broadcast archives, presidential papers, memoirs and interviews, Ritchie describes the rise of the wire services, racial integration of the press corps, the role of foreign correspondents, the rise of opinion columnists, the use of 'leaks,' the growth of television, the challenges of cable news networks and, finally, the impact of the Internet on news reporting."Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This is a finely crafted book by a skilled writer and top-notch historian well qualified to write authoritatively about the Washington press corps. He has been a student of the press and a colleague of working reporters for much of his professional career, and he has successfully mined an incredible array of existing sources and original research to synthesize a coherent, tightly written history that is a delight to read." Mary Kay Quinlan, former president, National Press Club
"In Reporting from Washington, Donald Ritchie has written a wise and perceptive book filled with insights into the fascinating interaction between politicians and the Washington press corps-and into how that relationship has evolved over the decades." Robert Caro, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Years of Lyndon Johnson
"No one comes close to Donald Ritchie in command of the literature on the Washington press corps, and in Reporting from Washington he has broken new ground with his awesome research. His chapter on the black press is eye-opening; he is fascinating on correspondents from abroad; and he is able to take an overworked topic such as McCarthyism and present it as though the reader were coming on it for the first time. There is not a dull paragraph in the book." William Leuchtenburg, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of History, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"Donald A Ritchie's Reporting from Washington is an impressive blend of authority and style, telling the history of the modern Washington press corps with a journalist's knack for the arresting detail and a scholar's concern for context and meaning. It makes a major contribution to our understanding of a central force in American public life, and will prove an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand how the United States is governed." Evan W. Cornog, Publisher, Columbia Journalism Review, and Associate Dean for Planning and Policy, Columbia Journalism School

Set of two projectors used in combination with shutter in magic lantern presentations.
During a show, these two projectors were angled together on a wooden support so that the images from each projector fell on the same point on a screen. This allowed for the 'dissolving' of one image into another using the fan shaped device, for example, a scene in winter (MM 31923) becomes the same but in summer (MM 31922). The fan shaped shutter (ST 38345.3) was used to achieve the dissolving effect.
The shutter was manipulated mechanically, acting like a mask to obscure the projected image from one of the lanterns as the image from the twin lantern was exposed.
Either projector could also be used alone to project a series of slides.
Specifically paired side by side lanterns allowing for 'dissolving' views are claimed to have been first manufactured by a Dublin optician named Clarke prior to 1822. Regardless, by the 1830s, the showing of dissolving images had gained great popularity.
These type of finely crafted double lanterns were manufactured from at least the 1850s and by the 1880s a large number of different models of these side by side double lanterns were being sold. The company which manufactured these particular lanterns was operational under the name Newton & Co. from 1858 and by the 1880s had become one of Britain's most important manufacturers of magic lanterns and slides. It is probable that these lanterns date from this period.
While the invention of the magic lantern is generally seen to be in the 17th century, its greatest popularity as an optical projector spans the late 18th Century to the early decades of the 20th Century. It was used both as a means of entertainment and education.
This lantern projector set is part of the Francis Collection of pre-cinematic apparatus and ephemera, acquired by the Australian and Victorian Governments in 1975. David Francis was the curator of the National Film and Sound Archive of the British Film Institute as well as being a co-founder of the Museum of the Moving Image in London, which was operational between 1988 and 1999.
Physical Description
These two lanterns are identical apart from some mirror image features. Both lanterns feature a mahogany body, with brass lens barrels, slide holders and controls. The roof and cowl are of japanned metal. Designed to be placed side-by-side, one lantern has a door to the illumination chamber on the right side of the body, the other on the left. Both doors have a circular viewing window. A brass control on the lens barrel is also placed on opposing sides. Both lanterns used ordinary household coal gas as an illuminant. The 'dissolving screen' or shutter is manufactured of brass, with a handle to allow it to be mechanically manipulated.

He remembered the first time he understood what it meant to be owned.
Nothing remained of his homeland but the grinning face of a boy he inexplicably knew to be brother and a dull ache soothed by the passage of years where once the sharp pang of separation from his mother pierced his heart. Agron spoke only once of his sister's breathless parting words in the moments before she slit her own throat, and of the forced march away from the village by the forest he called home. Nasir's own memories, however, sat too faded to hold the meaning of freedom, and therefore failed to serve in comparison to anything of his experience.
Not the passage from Syria nor arrival at his fate settled the weight of slavery upon Nasir's young shoulders. He was yet too small to understand more than the abrupt pain searing through the flesh of his ear, the confusion and terror of rough hands and hot sun beating down upon the auction square as he was pushed out to the front of the rostrum. Two voices – keen, calculating eyes trained to spot potential – battled briefly in strange words until he was sold for four denarii, thrown over a man's shoulder like a sack of grain, and put to wagon.
The word dominus held no meaning at the time – Latin was yet a foreign tongue – just as the collar around his neck signified nothing more than an irritating presence.
When they took his name, he did not feel the sting of loss, for he still did not understand. Tullia, the dark girl who sang him songs at night and snuck him dates when she could, did not have the words to explain to one so young. Instead, proper mourning for his free name was lost in the passing of years and Nasir became Tiberius without ever really knowing why.
To be owned was to belong to another in body and soul, and he remembered the first time he understood that.
Though he had lived in the villa for many years, fetching and carrying and mending and serving at the whims of others, he had always enjoyed an unsteady façade of security. When he answered summons, however, Dominus took his chin between thumb and forefinger and raised it, prompting his face to a slight incline left, then right. Nasir – still Tiberius, then – did not lift his eyes from the floor.
"What sits fixed upon the ground that captures your attention so?" asked Dominus softly, lecherous fingers grazing the line of his jaw before his chin was raised yet higher. "I would look into your eyes, boy." He hesitated a moment before sweeping his gaze upward to meet his master's for the first time in his life.
"Very pretty, indeed," the man said, sounding pleased, and although Tiberius could not have known what was about to happen, gooseflesh erupted along his arms when Dominus ran a cold finger over his lips.
Sharp tile bit at his knees when Roman hands found his shoulders, forcing him to kneel, yet it was a sting barely felt when Dominus next spoke.
"Take cock in mouth."
It was an order, unmistakable and dispassionate, and although Tiberius felt every inch of his skin burn white hot when commanded by such words, he knew there was no choice but to obey. He had seen men and women suffer for less – sent to the mines for speaking out of turn, executed ad gladium for spiriting away a little extra food. A large hand entangled itself within his hair, gripping tightly, and he did not dare hesitate a moment longer. With light, trembling fingers and a distant ringing in his ears, he found the hem of Dominus' robe.
The extra water ration he was allowed afterward helped to scrub away the oil and residue of rich perfumes from his skin, but his body ached beyond belief and memories lingered. Tiberius felt somewhere deep in his solar plexus that it was a stench he would never be rid of.
He was fourteen when he first understood that his life was not his own, but by then he knew how to be quiet and obedient, and above all things he knew how to survive.
Not so many years later, four enormous men, armed and bloodied, stood in his master's bedchamber, one easily pinning Dominus to the wall. Tiberius quickly grabbed for Chadara's arm and pulled her close to his side. His heart pounded somewhere in this throat when one of the intruders turned to face them. "Go outside," he said. "We mean you no harm."
Tiberius glanced uncertainly at his master, prompting the savage man to add, "The Roman fuck will join presently."
Fingers still twisted around Chadara's wrist, he met her gaze and tugged urgently for her to follow him from the bedchamber. The sight that greeted him in the courtyard, however, stopped him in his tracks. The bodies of dead guards everywhere he looked. Panicked slaves mingling about uncertainly. And, most unnervingly, a large collection of strange newcomers. Among them were fighting men, yes, but also women and men who, for all that they appeared as defenseless as he felt in that moment, bore arms and evidence of battle upon their clothes and in their eyes.
At the helm of these strange trespassers stood three men. One shorter than the rest, one in the midst of speech, and one – gods help him, for all that his world was suddenly turned on itself, for the smallest of moments he forgot to breathe.
Distraction in the form of burning blue eyes was torn from his mind, however, when Tiberius realized that the other man spoke of freedom.
Spartacus had come to the south.
When the shortest of the three leaders dragged Dominus back into the villa, he suddenly felt the weight of what he was to lose. Tiberius had never wanted freedom, especially not now. He had been a slave nearly his entire life – he knew how to serve, how to please, how to anticipate. He was good at it. And while he may not have chosen it, he had done the best he could to elevate his status to gain security and respect. He had long ago taught himself to be observant, taught himself to foresee Dominus' needs long before he was elevated to the position of body slave. There was nothing in his experience that would help him absent the collar Spartacus stole from his neck.
What cause did he have to turn against the Romans? It was his bad fortune to be owned, but there had always been masters and slaves and that was simply the way of the world. Why should he turn swords on those who had given him a place and a home when Spartacus and his horde had ripped such things from him only to expect obedience in return?
He would never be a fighter. He did not know the ways of the sword, nor did he wish to. Not impaled within a Roman soldier, at least. That was not who Tiberius was.
Only one path remained, though he never truly expected to succeed in the attempt. He had heard whispers of that day not so long passed when the rains finally came. More than one tale had reached his ears of Spartacus' victory over Theokoles. He knew who he was dealing with. Tiberius did not expect to take the gladiator's life, but he would rather have died as himself than live another moment as the lost, hazy nothing the past hours had reduced him to.
Yet he lived. He wasn't expecting that.
Had he laid such assault on Dominus, his death would have been slow and torturous. Instead, he found himself pinned between two of Spartacus' men, facing the three rebel leaders. The shortest of the three – Crixus, he finally realized, the formerly-Undefeated Gaul – looked at him as one would the scum of the underworld, and Tiberius glared right back. These were not his masters. He refused to be sorry. Not when they stood there discussing him like the chattel they claimed he no longer was. Not when Crixus struck him across the face. A hiss of anger escaped him, surprising himself somewhere in the back of his mind, but he straightened up once more and scowled at the Gaul's retreating back.
"And how do you propose we train this wild little dog?" asked the tall one, and gods be damned, not even his beauty could penetrate the adrenaline of fury coursing through Tiberius. But then those eyes, the same he had seen burning with vengeance the night before, met his. Fuck the gods. Tiberius looked to the floor, and cursed himself for it.
The tall one, as it happened, was called Agron, and were it not for him, Tiberius may have never again become Nasir. It was Spartacus that put a sword in his hand bereft of orders, but it was Agron that asked the question that brought Kahlil's face to his mind's eye. It was Agron that faced his choice to tell of Naevia's fate with respect and high regard, and it was Agron that stirred the sense memories of companionship for the first time in years.
No matter what concerns troubled his own mind, Agron consistently took time to ask after him, to clap him around the shoulder in a boisterous embrace. Theirs was at first a friendship of little consequence – conversations that revolved around Gallic shits and the constant lack of wine – yet Nasir found it a luxury of sorts, so unlike what was between he and Chadara. Despite the sister he had found in her, their companionship had grown out of necessity and desperation.
Whatever else lay between them, he and Agron had chosen each other.
It was this that Nasir took care to remind himself each time his sight rested upon the German warrior, an imposing tower of hard-earned muscle crowned with the clear blue eyes that had caught his attention that very first night. He calls you brother, and that is enough. Time and time again he revisited the thought like a mantra when Agron clasped hand to cheek, when he smiled brightly and laughed obscenities that Nasir longed to take as invitations, when he sighed and let them go their separate paths.
Nasir was beautiful. It was not pride to acknowledge the fact – if it were not so, he would never have been ordered to his master's bed. But Agron made no attempt to stop their parting of ways and he resigned himself to the truth that Chadara was wrong.
He calls you brother, and that is enough.
Agron's feelings, however, made themselves known when Nasir awoke within the temple walls at Vesuvius for the first time since he was claimed by murky dreams and a Roman blade. The first hint was in the red strip of cloth he found fastened around his wrist, a cloth he thought he recognized as once having been fastened about Agron's thigh.
A sudden, closed mouth upon Nasir's own was all the confirmation he needed. A muted kiss, chaste, and too brief to make any one intention clear, but when they drew apart once more the answer was evident in the softness of his eyes, the way they cast their gaze quickly to the ground, as if expecting rebuttal. Oh.
This was Agron's choice, and he had placed his heart in Nasir's palms to do with as he would. It was not a conscious decision made to spare Nasir the memory of being taken against his will as he had been so many times in the past, but an offering made in the wake of having lost his heart once, unsure if it could be borne again so soon. There would be no pursuit, save the one Nasir took on himself.
So Nasir chose this because he could. Because he wanted to. Because beyond the striking face he desired above all others he recognized a man still lost within himself as he had been not so long before. Because though he had never considered himself a particularly nurturing soul, Nasir found that he desired little more than to take care of this man who yearned for companionship, to unravel his soul, for Agron to know his in return.
The pursuit was short-lived. Any lingering confusion long-since resolved, he welcomed Agron's return from Capua with a searing kiss, and the man was claimed.
Several weeks passed since victory was won at Vesuvius before another cause of celebration came to the rebel camp. Having taken refuge within yet another liberated villa, secluded within the hills, far away from prying eyes, the army had since seen their ranks swell to include the villa's former slaves, two wagons headed for the mines, and a caravan transporting a score of Mauretanian warriors to Rome.
Yet it had not been these triumphs that had prompted Crixus to interrupt the morning's training, a boast in his walk and glistening joy in his eyes, demanding a parcel of fighters put together to procure libations for that very night.
Nasir grinned to see Naevia attempting to translate between Lugo and Dahia, an aloof beauty who clearly held little interest in the German. It was evident to all that Naevia's grasp of the language was limited, despite what she may have learned from her mother, yet no one dared point out such a thing to the woman of the hour, not when Crixus was of such a fine mood.
Instead, he drained the remainder of his cup and settled himself back against the wall, Agron's arm securely nestled about his shoulder, his warmth pressed tranquilly at his side.
"He has long desired to raise a family with her," Agron said, the rough pads of his calloused fingers running the length of Nasir's arm so lightly that he was almost sure they did so of their own accord.
Nasir smiled, and relaxed into his touch. "It is a gift well deserved," he said, thinking on the shell of a girl he had nearly died liberating from the mines, the woman who stood laughing before him now, radiant in the firelight, and the man who had, for all that he had not understood, supported her through such a miraculous change with gentle words and the clash of swords. "Under normal circumstances I would fear for a child born to such uncertainty."
"Yet you do not?"
"I do not." He turned to capture Agron full in his sight. "None will be more loved, more defended, more capable of defending themselves when of an age to do so. A child born to parents so deeply in love is blessed indeed."
Agron did not respond to that, but nodded faintly and turned to gaze upon the festivities. Nasir raised a curious brow and inquired, "I thought you had put grievences with Crixus aside?"
"I consider the Gaul trusted friend," he replied, an expression of annoyance upon his face that Nasir suspected had little to do with the insect he batted away. The summer had arrived in full not a week before, bringing with it days of sunlight and pleasant nights filled with unwelcome housemates.
"Then what troubles your heart?" he asked, trailing fingers across his chest. "Give voice to concern and see it lifted."
A moment passed before Agron said anything, and when he did, it was not as Nasir had expected.
"The cloth about your wrist," he said. "Remove it."
Nasir frowned, yet obliged him. Slowly he unwound the dark red cloth about his wrist that had once found its home upon Agron's thigh. They had never before spoken of it, instead letting it remain a tacit reminder of what they had lived through and come out the stronger for, a reminder of why they still fought.
When the strip of material had been all but uncoiled, Agron clasped the freed end and wordlessly stood, pulling Nasir to his own feet. The cloth still linked between the two men's hands, he led him into the villa, through the maze of hallways and chambers. Nasir caught sight of the small quarters they had claimed as their own and began to walk in what he assumed to be the right direction, but again Agron surprised him, continuing his expedition past the expected room until they emerged outside once more into the clear, warm night air, away from the noise and frivolity of the courtyard.
At last Agron came to a stop, but when he turned Nasir's breath caught in his throat to see the fire ignited there, the passion, the trepidation, the want.
That is what broke him in the end, what forced all curiosity for Agron's words from his mind and led Nasir to drive his lover against the villa's outer wall, quickly followed by lips rammed against lips. Taken by surprise, it took a moment for Agron to find his balance, but Nasir cared little. His own body, small as it was by comparison, was propelled by enough force and sheer willpower to keep them both there for as long as he desired. Steadied against the stucco, Agron wrapped his arms around him, his mouth seizing, demanding more. Nasir allowed his hands to wander down the German's chest, reveling in the heat that radiated there, the rough cracks of scar tissue over compressed muscle. When he came to the smooth base of his abdomen, where the V that formed there dipped below his subligaria, Agron let out a small whine and broke the seal of their kiss in gasping gulps of air.
"What you speak of, this bond that Naevia and Crixus share," he said breathlessly, his deep voice giving way to a slight waver in the wake of their passion before he caught himself and lowered his tone to little more than a growl. "Do you doubt that there are others so deeply blessed?"
Nasir shook his head. How could he do otherwise, when Agron's hand still remained hot upon his cheek and his gaze still spoke of the worlds they had seen within each other?
Gently twisting the red cloth about his fingers to link them still more tightly, Agron took Nasir's hand in his and said, "In my country, we do not trouble with pomp and circumstance as the Roman shits. There need be only two, enough to know that we and we alone own each other's heart, in this life and the next."
Steadily his breath pumped in and out of his lungs, and Nasir wondered if Agron could see the tattoo his heart was beating into his chest. Because he understood exactly what he was asking, but it was when he said own that Nasir stopped and swore he could suddenly feel everything, every bit of himself coming together as it never had before.
To be owned was to belong to another in body and soul, but before him lay a prospect that was eons away from anything he had been taught as a boy. Because here was Agron, putting his body and soul in Nasir's hands, as he always had, to do with as he would. Because regardless of what answers he could give, Nasir knew in his heart that he already belonged to Agron, yet his life would always belong to himself. Because what existed between them was the truth already, and the strip of cloth that now bound together their hands was little more than confession of such.
Raising his eyes to meet Agron's, full of hopeful anticipation, Nasir smiled widely. Yes. Yes. This was as it was always meant to be. In a tree nearby, an owl hooted softly.
"The summer birds see us wed," he spoke at last and surged upward to claim Agron's lips in his own, a promise of all that was to come.
