The 106th Distinguished Research Lectureship has been awarded to Professor Peter Molnar of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, CIRES.
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is pleased to announce that this year's Distinguished Research Lecturer will be Professor Peter Molnar of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, and the Department of Geological Science. Few scientists have consistently tackled as a broad a spectrum of challenging problems in the physics of the Earth at such a fundamental level as Professor Molnar. What distinguishes him from other leading Earth scientist is the remarkable range of tools that he brings to his work; his observational skills in seismology, tectonic physics, and geological field work, and his extensive theoretical abilities that allow contributions to understanding the related heat and mass transfer mechanisms in solid earth, the oceans and the atmosphere. Professor Molnar's exemplary scholarship and service reflect the best the University has to offer.
This fall's lecture title is "Did the emergence of Indonesian islands (the "Maritime Continent") transform a warm world to one with recurring Ice Ages?" Professor Molnar will argue that when the Maritime continent arose from the sea 3 million years ago it transformed tropical climates, which then, due to prevailing atmospheric circulation patterns, led to the high latitude cooling over Canada that made the ice ages possible.
|Please mark your calendars for Friday, September 5th from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in Muenzinger E050, followed by a reception in the CIRES Atrium. Please see this link for directions: http://psych-www.colorado.edu/muenzinger-location.html. Event is filled, no RSVP's taken at this time.
Peter Molnar, this year's Distinguished Research Lecture recipient

The lectureship honors a tenured faculty member widely recognized for a distinguished body of academic or creative achievement and prominence, as well as contributions to the educational and service missions of CU-Boulder.
Normally, one Distinguished Research Lectureship is awarded each year. The recipient presents a lecture in the fall or spring following selection and receives a $2,000 honorarium.
Nominees for the Distinguished Research Lectureship must be CU-Boulder faculty members who are:
Any faculty member may nominate another member by submitting to the Vice Chancellor for Research the appropriate supporting materials, including:

Clouds Are Not Spheres: A Brief History of Fractals
Fractals: A Real-Life Application of Art
From the trees outside your window to the blood vessels in your body, fractals exist all around you. Clouds, lightning, and coastlines – they are all fractals. Even we are composed of fractals. Fractals are a part of everything. For centuries, people have recognized nature's tendency to repeat itself. Take Hokusa's The Great Wave off Kanagawa for example. In the woodblock painting, you can see the repeating patterns at the tips of the giant wave as it crashes down on the boats. Although people noticed these patterns, they had not a clue what they were really looking at: a fractal.

Full Circle: Rocketeer - Atari Jaguar CD
"Flying through space is no picnic. Commanding an intergalactic space vessel isn't all plaid blankets and wicker baskets. All manner of peculiar happenings might ruin one's day. Take planets for instance. They're big. Really big. Often rather solid, too. For these reasons alone, it's usually advisable not to involve yourself in any sort of altercation with one, particularly when travelling through hyperspace.
This was now something Space Corps Commander Gwyn Williams knew only too well, as, from his vantage point high in the upper atmosphere, he observed the fragments of his vessel scattered over the surface of this particular example of Big Solid Planet. Sliced into three sections with the ship's cargo falling from orbit all around him, he wondered how this day might possibly get any worse... Ah! Of course! An onslaught of deadly rocks - simply perfect!"

Gorur Gosht or beef curry is a common everyday dish in Bengal and South Asia. It is spicy, and is eaten with practically anything-rice, pulao, bread, rooti, paratha, loochi and biryani.
Recipe by: tarana_sharmin
Koftas can be made with fish, chicken, beef or lamb meat that has been minced or made into a thick paste. Beef Kofta ( beef balls) are prepared for parties or large family gatherings. It tastes great with jeera pulao ( cumin pilaf), white pulao ( white pilaf) or parathas.
Recipe by: nazrana_parvin
Beef curry with kochu is a unique way of preparing meat with veggies. Kochu or taro is a vegetable that gets a bit gluey when cooked. This dish is quite spicy and is best when served with rice.
Recipe by: BengaliFoodie
This dish is made from baby goat meat, and I love it as much in summer as in winter. This is because it is a soothing dish with an almost stew like consistency while maintaining some spiciness in the flavor. It is a perfect comfort food that mom made for us when either we were sick and had lost appetite or feeling low due to a bad weather or something. It goes well with rice or chapatti.
Recipe by: piku
If you are a meat lover, then you should definitely try out this recipe! It has spinach with beef, which makes it healthy. It is served with plain white rice.
Recipe by: BengaliFoodie
Love meat and also fish? This is the perfect food item for you that incorporates both meat and fish into a yummy snack. Mutton or beef is used to make the filling of the roll. It is delicious by itself, and is served with ketchup or chutney.
Recipe by: BengaliFoodie
Tehari is a kind of biryani that is usually vegetarian in Indian and Pakistani homes. However, in Bangladesh, Tehari is not vegetarian, but it is rather cooked with beef. It is cooked for birthday parties, family gatherings and holidays, such as Eid. It is not at very spicy and the rice is usually white. It is delicious by itself, but can be served with raita and curry.
Recipe by: BengaliFoodie
Raw bananas, potatoes and dal are few the ingredients in the Bengal that can be cooked in so many different ways. This chop makes a great snack or lunch meal, especially for school kids. It is served with ketchup.

Co-production practitioners network
A network for co-production practitioners
9 members
The Research Exchange for the Social Sciences (RESS) at the University of Sheffield has just launched a new 'Co-production Blog'. It is particularly valuable for people doing co-produced research but I'm sure will also have content relevant to wider co-production practice.

Is there a democratically accountable ownership model for health and care services that could make a difference? Could the active membership and co-operative ownership of workers, service users, volunteers and family members rebuild public trust in services and put an end to cruelty and neglect through a socially inclusive solution where the system of care is owned by the recipients?

Successive governments have pursued a public services agenda based on market competition, consumer choice and outsourcing to private providers. The promise has been better responsive to people's 'consumer preferences' and a decentralisation of knowledge and power away from central planners – all at lower cost.
But there is little evidence that these benefits are materialising. Power has been concentrated in the hands of a…Continue

Thanks Lucie,
I will do. Hopefully this will help me to increase contacts in my area and as you have already done other headway branches.
Best wishes
Hi Lucy
The headlines are that it explored how individuals valued themselves and others outside of comparison and competition, and how processes were used. It identified that there are many hierarchies that can come to the fore where people can feel above or below the other be it societal norms, or skill sets. These can cause more problems of power/powerlessness if not addressed.
Individuals valued themselves outside of comparison/competition, by how others benefitted from the individual's skill eg empty plates if worked in kitchen. Colleagues were valued by listening to them/appreciate their work. Thus rewards are free and limitless for all, unlike hierarchies which have limited rewards that foster competition.
Processes, when motivation for their use is identified, can offer opportunities for creativity and adoption/hybrid of processes from hierarchies.
I hope this v brief summary helps!
Thank you Lucie - look forward to all the comments/suggestions/ideas/ thoughts. Will be great to tap into the local network group. Thanks again
Hi Lucy, many thanks for your comments, I have spoken to Lambeth re this but they haven't developed anything in this area nor haven't heard of anything so am thinking that it may be innovative although I am reluctant to use this word as it is overused, I thought it may be of use to put a line out in this network while I am finding my way around it so to speak. Re your work on co-production and commissioning we have done and are still doing some good work in Norfolk involving ICC and others, you may want to have a chat with email@example.com, director of Children Services.
Hi Lucie,
I went to the Co-production event in Cardiff last week and this network was promoted as part of the way of keeping up to date with the outcomes of the event.
Hi Lucie,
I found the network by searching for co-production info on Google. I was motivated to join because I am eager to become involved in co-production work and wanted to find out who the players are in my area (East Anglia). I'll have a look at my regional group, as you suggested.
Best wishes
Many thanks for your welcome, I'll email you with more info now.
Cheers and have a good afternon,
Hi Lucie,
Thanks for the welcome. I heard about the network though NESTA as I was looking for the three papers you had published on co-production. I used to work for Young Scot who have been doing increasing work in this area. I'm just back to work after mat leave so will have a think about case studies we could add. Thanks
Hi Lucie
Thanks for your welcome. I'll follow your leads... and look up Catriona. We were looking for some cross-border input too as sometimes it's easier to be challenging/inquiring/inspiring if you come from afar and are not already therefore quite so connected/with history etc.. I was thinking someone from Wales or England or even Northern Ireland might be able to do some 'straight talking' in ways that could help to keep us Scots on our toes!
I think the event we're planning should be quite interesting - a new (SNP) administration and good opportunities to build on the partnership approach to co-production innovation we've been trailing.
Thanks again for the hello. I do a similar job with the fiery spirits network at carnegie - being on the receiving end helps me remember how much of a difference it makes!
Hi Lucie, Thanks for the welcome. I found out about this via some of the current Scotland group members who have been working alongside in a coproduction model for policy design with young people. I look forward to being able to contribute and learn with others using the network. Thanks Susan

Harry and Rihanna awh omg
Oh hi there most of you probably won't remember me! But I used to be a decently, not really, popular One Direction blog!
I've finally decided to come back, but I'm not following anyone and I lost a lot of my followers!
So for a kind of welcoming back thing, I've decided to give some things…
This might just be my favorite gif of Harry.
Niall Horan: Thank you so much for everything. It has been an amazing 3 years!
"…He's special friends with Niall and has been over here a few times… When he was in Dublin, he spoke to people in Irish and got it right - Niall's been teaching him for months now." - Bobby Horan

Just a couple days after the Pittsburgh Pirates sent their top pitching prospect to minor-league camp, they did the same with their best position player yet to make the majors.
Outfielder Gregory Polanco, considered by many to be the most prodigious everyday talent the Bucs have developed since Andrew McCutchen, was assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday morning along with right-handed reliever Duke Welker.
Polanco, 22, went 6 for 22 in 10 Grapefruit League games, slamming two doubles and a homer in the process. Conventional wisdom dictates that both he and promising righty starter Jameson Taillon, who was demoted Monday, will make their Pirates debuts around midseason.
In the meantime, the combination of Jose Tabata and Travis Snider will hold down right field, likely in a platoon-like situation.
Polanco first started attracting attention after posting a .910 OPS (on-base plus slugging) at Low-A West Virginia in 2012. The Dominican Republic native followed that up with a combined .791 OPS in 2013 across three minor-league levels.
Polanco played just a pair of games for Indianapolis last summer, so making the Pirates' Opening Day roster was a longshot.
The Bucs host Philadelphia at Bradenton's McKechnie Field today as exhibition play continues. First pitch from Brandon Cumpton is set for 1 p.m. Visit the Pirates' website for an exclusive broadcast of the game.

I run 10 miles on the weekends now and burn through about 1000 cals a day in physical activity (not BMR). I pretty much have been following The Biggest Loser diet... eating LOTS of fresh fruits and veggies. I avoid processed foods 90% of the time. I carry a little cooler bag with me when I am out running errands, so I am never without water or a healthy snack! This keeps me from wanting to eat at a fast food chain.
And I PRAY... A LOT! Seriously, folks... I love Jesus. He loves me. Yeah... I'm a Jesus Freak. I can do ALL things through Him who gives me strength... some may think that is a silly phrase.. but lemme tell ya, you try turning away from the popcorn and nachos or soft pretzels at the movie theater when your hubby and teenager are loaded down with goodies.. and you tell me that isn't DIVINELY INSPIRED self control! Amen!
Anywho... I plan to keep on running and I also am meeting with a nutritionist to teach me how to maintain this new weight that I hope to be at VERY SOON. I am only 6# away from my goal as I write this. WHEW! As of now, I am 141.2#, and for the first time in my adult life I am wearing a size 6 jeans! WOO HOO! not just in ONE pair, either! lol I wear a M top now, too! I love that I don't have to worry about what will fit when I take it out of the closet! I have never felt better, healthier, and stronger.
God Be with all of you on your journeys! Be strong, be courageous! Do not lose heart! It can happen! It WILL happen! You make healthy choices, use self control, and apply determination... you will be AMAZED at the results you will see. Oh, and have grace with yourself. If you stumble... get right back up and keep on truckin!

THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 2
Fans around the world adore the bestselling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, the basis of the HBO TV show, and its proprietor Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, and good humor--not to mention help from her loyal assistant, Grace Makutsi, and the occasional cup of tea.
Precious Ramotswe is the eminently sensible and cunning proprietor of the only ladies' detective agency in Botswana. In Tears of the Giraffe she tracks a wayward wife, uncovers an unscrupulous maid, and searches for an American man who disappeared into the plains many years ago. In the midst of resolving uncertainties, pondering her impending marriage to a good, kind man, Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni, and the promotion of her talented secretary (a graduate of the Botswana Secretarial College, with a mark of 97 per cent), she also finds her family suddenly and unexpectedly increased by two.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Chapter ONE
Mr J.L.B. Matekoni's House
Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, proprietor of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, found it difficult to believe that Mma Ramotswe, the accomplished founder of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, had agreed to marry him. It was at the second time of asking; the first posing of the question, which had required immense courage on his part, had brought forth a refusal--gentle, and regretful--but a refusal nonetheless. After that, he had assumed that Mma Ramotswe would never remarry; that her brief and disastrous marriage to Note Mokoti, trumpeter and jazz aficionado, had persuaded her that marriage was nothing but a recipe for sorrow and suffering. After all, she was an independent-minded woman, with a business to run, and a comfortable house of her own in Zebra Drive. Why, he wondered, should a woman like that take on a man, when a man could prove to be difficult to manage once vows were exchanged and he had settled himself in her house? No, if he were in Mma Ramotswe's shoes, then he might well decline an offer of marriage, even from somebody as eminently reasonable and respectable as himself.
But then, on that noumenal evening, sitting with him on her verandah after he had spent the afternoon fixing her tiny white van, she had said yes. And she had given this answer in such a simple, unambiguously kind way, that he had been confirmed in his belief that she was one of the very best women in Botswana. That evening, when he returned home to his house near the old Defence Force Club, he had reflected on the enormity of his good fortune. Here he was, in his mid-forties, a man who had until that point been unable to find a suitable wife, now blessed with the hand of the one woman whom he admired more than any other. Such remarkable good fortune was almost inconceivable, and he wondered whether he would suddenly wake up from the delicious dream into which he seemed to have wandered.
Yet it was true. The next morning, when he turned on his bedside radio to hear the familiar sound of cattle bells with which Radio Botswana prefaced its morning broadcast, he realised that it had indeed happened and that unless she had changed her mind overnight, he was a man engaged to be married.
He looked at his watch. It was six o'clock, and the first light of the day was on the thorn tree outside his bedroom window. Smoke from morning fires, the fine wood smoke that sharpened the appetite, would soon be in the air, and he would hear the sound of people on the paths that criss-crossed the bush near his house; shouts of children on their way to school; men going sleepy-eyed to their work in the town; women calling out to one another; Africa waking up and starting the day. People arose early, but it would be best to wait an hour or so before he telephoned Mma Ramotswe, which would give her time to get up and make her morning cup of bush tea. Once she had done that, he knew that she liked to sit outside for half an hour or so and watch the birds on her patch of grass. There were hoopoes, with their black and white stripes, pecking at insects like little mechanical toys, and the strutting ring-neck doves, engaged in their constant wooing. Mma Ramotswe liked birds, and perhaps, if she were interested, he could build her an aviary. They could breed doves, maybe, or even, as some people did, something bigger, such as buzzards, though what they would do with buzzards once they had bred them was not clear. They ate snakes, of course, and that would be useful, but a dog was just as good a means of keeping snakes out of the yard.
When he was a boy out at Molepolole, Mr J.L.B. Matekoni had owned a dog which had established itself as a legendary snake-catcher. It was a...

Don't hanker and don't desire that it should happen at other times too. If you try for other times too, you will destroy the spontaneity of it. One has to wait. One has to be patient. One has to remain open.just like you wait for a guest: your doors open, you stand on the threshold and you go on looking down the road. Your heart is throbbing. But what else can you do? When the guest comes, the guest comes.
Poetry is a guest - become a host! But don't try to pull, don't try to manipulate - poetry cannot be manufactured. It is not man-made: it is God-made. All poetry has the signature of God; if it is true poetry then it is always God-made.
Yes, you can compose, you can manage to create an appearance of poetry, but it will be false, it will not have life in it, it will not have spirit in it. It will be dead, it will be soul-less.
Wait for those moments.they will be rare, once in a while. But it is good! Poetry is a rare phenomenon; it is not the ordinary rut. The dance will be rare, once in a while, but it has to be so! Allow it. When it comes, go totally into it. When it is not coming, don't try to manage it. If you try to manage, you will start creating false things, pseudo things. And not only that: if you manage, those real moments of happening will stop. You will become closed to them.
All desiring is destructive.
And you say: "Dance happens through me."
Right, you are on exactly the right track. When dance happens through you, it is divine dance. When you dance, it is very ordinary, mundane; it has not the touch of the unknown in it; it has no inspiration. It is just gymnastics, a body exercise you have learnt a few steps and movements and you are twisting your body. You are not possessed by God!
When a dance comes to you, you are possessed, you are no more yourself. God has penetrated you. Then there is a totally different quality to it. Then you are not the dancer: you are being danced. And the difference is immense. There is no effort on your part. You are simply taken over. You don't know what is happening. You are neither the doer nor the knower, and then something great happens - something which is not of this earth. Those are the religious moments.
A dancer can know God more easily than a thinker. And a painter can know God more easily than a businessman. And a poet is certainly closer to God than any politician. These are the people of God! The artist comes closest.

ooc: Merry Christmas have a shirtless Jim icon.
"—and Jim can't eat but so many or he starts whining about being bloated—"
[Space Mom, stop.]
that's the point. You have your own problems to deal with, plus all ours, too. The title of 'captain' comes with a lot of stress, and don't think that won't put a strain on you — because it will. It already has. The insomnia's only the beginning." [She had no idea he wasn't sleeping — she makes a mental note to ask him about it later, when it isn't preceded by nagging.]
"I ain't tryin' to be a pain in your ass. I just — don't want to see you have a coronary before either of us hit forty —" [Is that — concern, Nurse McCoy?
Okay, so maybe she's a little more fond of him than she lets on. Maybe.] " That's all."
"Believe me. I get the stress. I do. Had it from day one. Hell, I was stressed about all this ever since day one at the Academy." [For different reasons. Mostly the fact that once people knew who he was (and everyone seemed to) they were all about comparing him to his father.]
[He sighed, lowered the cup.] "Fine. Since you obviously care a lot—" [He's mostly teasing. Pushing her buttons is so easy sometimes.] "I'll try to cut back."
[He's definitely never going to be over it.]
[Just sat there laughing to himself but one thing is clear enough to be heard— Hiki.]
…so much for not hitting on the entire crew, huh Jim?
"You can come too."
"You realize how wrong that sounds, right?"
[He doesn't even want to say anything to that. Yes, okay, he probably could have worded that better. But just you have fun with this one, Scotty—]
"You're jealous. I get it. You and I could have fun in Space Vegas too, Scotty."
[Because at this point he doesn't even care what anyone takes away from that. Just let them think whatever they want. People do that. It was a lesson he learned a long time ago. So why not go along and have fun with it?]
"Too much caffeine can be dangerous in the short term, and the long term, sir. I'm not sure how many cups you've had today, but knowing you, it's too many. You'll put a strain on your heart. You could develop insomnia, restless leg syndrome, cardiac arrhythmia."
A pause — and she crosses her arms over her chest, gaze not at all one of approval.
"It'll raise your blood pressure."
"Three. I've only had three cups. Are you happy? One more isn't going to hurt me. And insomnia? That ship has sailed." [He doesn't like that look she's getting. Very like her father.]
[He's determined not to stand down though. And, in defiance, he takes a gulp of coffee from the cup he's holding. It was still hot— too hot. He sputters a bit but then manages to say—] "Yeah, because there aren't a hundred and one other things that could raise my blood pressure."
"You hesitated. You hesitated, JIM!"
Like hell there's a lot to do in Vegas; the choices were as follows. 1) Jim gets drunk and gambles away the ship. 2) Jim gets Pavel drunk and he gambles away the ship. 3) Jim gambles himself and/or Pavel away. 4) Jim gets drunk and sleeps with things, possibly including Pavel.
"Do you need a chaperone, damn it?"
"No. You're totally missing what I'm saying! I mean— there are shows and things. And yeah, okay, maybe we'll both get so drunk we end up passing out somewhere together but then we'd actually be sleeping and not— not the other thing."
[He's a little insulted, to be honest.] "I don't try to sleep with the whole crew, you know. Thought you knew me better than that by now."
ooc: it's like a kissy face I can't
[Oh, he so wants to stick his tongue out at Spock.]
"Take a picture it'll last longer."
[Pulling a face was better.]

Like Holy shit. Life is awesome.
Today I made a casserol, and it tasted like shit. Because my carrots were shitty and I probably didn't cook it right.
And you know what, I'm fucking ecstatic about it.
Because tomorrow, I'm going to fucking make another casserole. Because fuck today's casserole. It's already shit. Tomorrow's Casserole has the potential to be good, at least.
And you want to know why it has the potential to be good?

Mount Eden Vineyards is a small historic wine estate located on a 2000-foot peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Founded in 1942 by Martin Ray, their estate vineyards have consistently produced world-class Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon for over a half-century. In addition to their estate wines, they purchase Chardonnay grapes from the mature MacGregor Vineyard in the Edna Valley Appellation outside of San Luis Obispo.
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others. Notable Facts...Read More About Central Coast

Program of Emphasis: Wildlife Conservation
Hometown: West Lawn, PA
High School: Wilson High School
Why I chose to attend Juniata: I chose Juniata as my college of choice because of all the opportunities that it offered for its students. I also loved the fact that the school is very small. With a small school like Juniata, a student is not just another student, they are an individual that matters, an individual that is encouraged to grow, learn and inspire. And it is always a plus when every faculty member and student is extremely friendly. At Juniata, it is not uncommon to have a casual conversation with your professor or for them to know you by your first name. That's why Juniata is simply the best.
Clubs and Organizations: JC Paws-I help at or work some of the events on campus
Varsity Sports: Track and Field-Thrower (Javelin and Hammer)
Internship: Environmental Education and Animal Behavior at the Philadelphia Zoo-interpreted "exploration Stations", interacted with guests, interpreted daily activities and held daily talks, encouraged guests to participate and learn, observed animals, created and collected data on animal in the zoo and presented that data to the public in a formal presentation, interpreted biofacts to guests, answered any questions from guests.
Most Interesting Class: The most interesting class I've taken this year would have to be Field and Stream because it is a field methods class. We are looking at hemlock trees and how they are affected by a parasitic insect that is killing them, and over how the dying hemlocks are effecting the ecosystem and stream system around them. In this class we are learning a lot of field skills which are really fun and useful and we go out in the field every class.
Favorite Faculty Member: A faculty member that has made a difference in my life is Sharon Yohn because I chose her as my second advisor. She told me she didn't know a whole lot about what was required for a wildlife conservation major when we were planning on meeting for scheduling for classes. But when I actually went in to meet with her, she had researched everything about the major and printed out papers for me to follow along with to make sure I stay on track when scheduling courses for the rest of my time here at Juniata. She was so helpful, I couldn't have asked for anything more.
Honors Received: I have been inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success
Thank you!
Words cannot describe how grateful I am to be blessed with this scholarship. It truly means the world to me. Without this scholarship, I probably would not be attending Juniata. This financial support means more to me this year than it ever has before because my family has been going through some hardships lately. Two weeks before school began this year; my father was diagnosed with cancer. He has been through a hefty surgery and has been in and out of the hospital; I am proud to say he is a cancer survivor and on the recovery road. Financially the medical bills will be rolling in for my family, so receiving this scholarship is a huge help for my family and I in so many ways. So thank you for everything, I can guarantee it was money well spent!

Definición de Fourth World en inglés:
Fourth WorldSilabificación: Fourth World
1Those countries and communities considered to be the poorest and most underdeveloped of the Third World.
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Societies low on both measures, particularly the Fourth World of the very poorest countries in Africa and Asia, score low not necessarily because of conscious choice but because of lack of means of production and lack of spending power.
- When the Fourth World views the First World through the medium of television, it is exposed to a strange world most know very little about.
- However, this view has increasingly come under pressure from ecology, animal rights and Fourth World movements.
2Those communities that form politically and economically disadvantaged minorities within societies, owing to factors such as urban deprivation or discrimination against tribal peoples.
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Unfortunately, most people don't understand the conditions past and present that make many reserves fall into a categorisation of Fourth World areas (or pockets of the Third World within the borders of the First World).
- To cite only one example, the legitimacy of land-rights claims of indigenous or Fourth World peoples turns on ahistorical conceptions of culture and essentialist notions of identity.
- With a limited recognition in the United Nations and a centre in Geneva, Fourth World peoples became an effective and growing transnational coalition, of which Indigenous Australians were a part.

PLAYERS: Tavoris Cloud
Former WBA light heavyweight champion Gabriel Campillo, 21-4-1, 7 KOs, is ready for his return to the ring after a layoff of almost one year. He fights undefeated power puncher Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev, 18-0-1, 15 KOs, in an anticipated 10-rounder at the Mohegan Sun Casino on Saturday, January 19th. The fight is the feature bout in the season opener of NBC Sports Network's popular FIGHT NIGHT boxing series. The telecast will begin at 9PM ET with the Elvin Ayala vs. Curtis Stevens co-feature. Credit: Main Events The last time Campillo fought, February 18, 2012, he thought that he had once again become a world champion. However, after 12 rounds with IBF champ Tavoris Cloud, Campillo found himself on the short end of a controversial split decision. Cloud retained his title and sent Campillo back to the drawing board. However, the fans remained on Campillo's side. "Ever since February 12th, I hear a couple of times each day from the people that I deserved that d...

12 - DVD review
Remakes are so hit or miss that when someone attempts a remake of a classic film, you have to wonder what the director's thinking. But Nikita Mikhalkov scores a bulls-eye with "12," a film based on Sidney Lumet's Oscar-nominated "12 Angry Men," a 1957 courtroom drama that's distinctive in that it's set mostly inside the juror's room. "12" was Russia's official submission to the Best Foreign Language Film category of the 2008 Academy Awards, but, like the original film, it fell short of the win.
The original film took place in New York City, where a short scene inside the courtroom established the fact that even the judge thought the verdict was a done deal. But one juror had reasonable doubt about a young man accused of killing his father. At first he was an obstinate target of the group's anger, a thorn in their sides. Personalities clashed and continued to clash throughout the film. But then another juror was swayed to change his vote to "not guilty," and soon the entire group was trying to do what they should have been doing in the first place: deliberating over the evidence and thoughtfully restaging some of the testimony to prove to themselves whether the crime could have been committed as charged. "12 Angry Men" was shot in black-and-white even as the rest of Hollywood was going for color, and that reinforced the movie's starkness and added a level of thematic irony: the case wasn't as black and white as it seemed.
Mikhalkov's version pulls politics and ethnicity into the mix, with the youth now an adopted Chechen orphan and the dead father a former member of the Russian military. As with the American version, "12" presents a cross-section of people from different walks of life. One (Yuri Stoyanov), for example, makes a big deal of the fact that he was educated at Harvard and clearly feels superior to some of the others because he's a TV exec. Another (Sergey Garmash) is a taxi driver who wears his prejudice on his sleeve. He makes no bones about his disdain for the youth because the boy is from Chechnya. The oldest is a cautious Russian Jew (Valentin Gaft) who is the first to be persuaded to change his vote when he obviously empathizes with issues of ethnicity. So when one man (Segei Makovetsky) keeps the 12 men in the juror's room because of reasonable doubt, it's the fact that he could persuade another of his "peers" that begins to soften or unsettle the others. Look for Mikalkov in an extended cameo as the foreman of the jury, and look for the director to shake things up in ways that we never saw in the original film. The jurors tell stories of their own lives that become just as compelling as the story they're collectively trying to understand.
"12 Angry Men" was born out of the tradition of character seethe, and the whole film is just one big bubbling pot of steadily boiling emotions. But Mikhalkov announces in the title sequence that he's going to tell the story with a little more style, a little more auteurism. It begins early, when the men are escorted to a school gymnasium where a long table is set up for them to sit at and deliberate. Instantly, they behave like children, rummaging through lockers. One of them pulls a Triple-G bra out and seems mesmerized by it. Another finds a hypodermic needle, and the next thing you know it's being flung like a dart. The murder they contemplate is a war-zone episode, and bizarre scenes like this one in which the old men go a little over the top signify that this too is a war zone. As they deliberate and deliberately reconstruct the murder scene, there are cutaways to the accused young man and his flashbacks of the war. There's also a little more preposterousness in what we're expected to swallow, but the momentum of the film carries you along.
Because of its confined nature, "12" feels like a stage play, with a dozen men taking turns talking, and the artifice is exacerbated by the heavily symbolic use of a bird that joins the men. During moments like these, the dialogue and drama carry the weight of the film and Mikhalkov's heavy-handedness. For me, though, it was in those small unexpected moments of humor and eccentricity that unfold which make "12" engaging. Did I like the ending? Not particularly. But I felt that it was an interesting remake of a film that departed from the original nearly as often as it stayed the course.
"12" is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, and it features a pleasing amount of film grain, true colors, and a decent amount of edge detail for a DVD.
The audio is a Russian Dolby Digital 5.1, with English and French subtitles. Like the video quality, the audio is solid but unspectacular. There's not much in the way of sonic robustness, though in fairness when the bullets start flying the rear speakers snap to attention and we get a fuller sound than we do elsewhere. At times, though, the sound feels a little flat.
There are no bonus features, which is surprising.
Bottom Line:
"12" is ultimately as thought-provoking as "12 Angry Men," and the addition of a Russian-Chechen element creates a level of depth that the original didn't have. But brace yourself for some heavy-handed stylistic and narrative devices, because unlike Lumet, Mikhalkov doesn't seem to trust 12 angry (or disturbed) men in a room to pull this off. And it takes him 160 minutes for him to come to that conclusion.

"Legacy of the Witch", THE PORTAL Prequel eNovella, 9/1/12:
"Once upon a time, there lived three witches…."
As a child, Amarrah loved her grandmother's stories of three witches who were members of the king's harem—but they were more than just stories. Amarrah knew she had been there with them…and now their legacy, along with an ancient box that once belonged to them, lies in her hands.
Charged with keeping the box safe, Amarrah is heartbroken when it is stolen from her while she moves to America. Years later, she is shocked to see it on TV and is determined to get it back. Tracking the artifact leads her to Sergeant Harrison Brockson, a handsome soldier who stirs memories of a man she knew centuries ago in ancient Babylon. Is Harrison the key to finding the box—or could he be her destiny?
"Mark of the Witch", THE PORTAL #1, 9/17/12:
Pre-Order from Amazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound
*Read LITERAL ADDICTION's 5 Skull Review HERE
A lapsed Wiccan, Indira Simon doesn't believe in magic anymore. But when strange dreams of being sacrificed to an ancient Babylonian god have her waking up with real rope burns on her wrists, she's forced to acknowledge that she may have been too hasty in her rejection of the unknown.
Then she meets mysterious and handsome Father Tomas. Emerging from the secrecy of an obscure Gnostic sect, he arrives with stories of a demon, a trio of warrior witches-and Indira's sacred calling. Yet there's something even Tomas doesn't know, an inescapable truth that will force him to choose between saving the life of the woman he's come to love-and saving the world.
"Daughter of the Spellcaster", THE PORTAL #2, 11/20/12:
Pre-Order from Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Has a spell been cast?
Lena Dunkirk is a practicing witch, Ryan McNally a wealthy playboy. Logic says mismatch, yet from the first they share a passion that defies reason, as if they know each other from another place, another time. Then Lena gets pregnant and runs for the safety of home.
Months later, when Ryan appears at her door looking to help raise their child, Lena doesn't know whom to trust–particularly now that "guru to the stars" Bahru has taken an interest in her baby, offering gifts forged of magic.
Soon she and Ryan are sharing eerie dreams of ancient lands, while a vengeful demon plots to take possession of their child. As the moment of birth approaches, the demon's power rises, forcing the hand of love to wield the blade that will decide the fate of a child's soul–and the future of the world.
"Blood of the Sorceress", THE PORTAL #3, 1/20/13:
Their Love was destiny. Was a curse to be their undoing?
As an ancient king's favorite harem slave, Lilia committed the worst of all possible crimes: loving another man. When the king discovered her treason, her lover was sentenced to lose his soul and linger in eternal imprisonment, and Lilia herself was executed alongside her sisters. While they reincarnated through countless lifetimes, she lingered alone between worlds for thousands of years, waiting for the moment to rescue her beloved Demetrius.
Now that moment has come. Demetrius has broken free, but without his soul and in the thrall of the same high priest who betrayed them so long ago; he has become an icy, uncaring cad, devoting himself solely to pleasure and power. Somehow Lilia must convince him to reclaim his humanity, to abandon the enemy tempting him to give in to his selfish desires–or her life will be lost alongside his, both of them condemned to eternal damnation, eternal isolation, their love lost one final and irrevocable time.
You're madly wishing it were at least September 1st already aren't you!? We know…
For now though, be sure and check out everything that ThePortalBooks.com has to offer – there's ALWAYS new stuff being posted and going - and enter the amazing new Portal contest that just started yesterday.

Lateef & The Chief to Release... Maroons: Ambush!
New York, NY (August 2, 2004) -- Renowned lyricist, Latyrx's Lateef the Truth Speaker and mixmaster, Blackalicious' Chief Xcel have teamed up to create hip hop's Maroons: Ambush and are set to release their highly anticipated mini LP on October 26h on Quannum. A precursor to their full length, Ashe, the duo's natural collaboration will leave you asking for more.
As Chief Xcel reflects, "Lateef and I have been working together since 1992. With each MC I work with, I am able to explore more of our musical influences, one thing I make for one MC might not work for another MC but either way, it takes me on this musical journey and Maroons is a fulfillment of that with Lateef. "
Lateef and the Chief first met in the studios of KDVS-FM at the University of California and soon formed Solesides Collective with their cohorts, Gift of Gab, Lyrics Born, and DJ Shadow. Lateef debuted in 1996 on a now-prized limited-edition single with the DJ Shadow-produced cuts, "The Wreckoning" and "Latyrx" while Chief went on to form Blackalicious with Gab. After Blackalicious' Nia dropped, the two started to lay down the groundwork for this powerful alliance and the result is the compelling Maroons: Ambush.
The first single "Best of Me/ Best of Me Bonus," featuring Gift of Gab of Blackalicious, is a stripped down track that utilizes the most essential of hip hop elements - a melodic chorus, a strong snare-driven beat and the duo's sing song rhythms. Ambush is a powerful collection of tracks written, mixed, produced and performed by Lateef and the Chief.
Lateef can also be heard on Fatboy Slim's upcoming album "Palookaville" due out soon and keep your ear to the ground for word on a new Blackalicious album from the Chief.

This girl wants you to milk yourself every morning for her, to give her milk to her cerial. I don't think that any of my followers would have a problem with that.
I really love women speaking with an English accent. This one especially knows what we like them to talk about.
"What is that white spot on the ceiling dripping down the floor?" - is the question that you will ask yourself after passing out amnesiac because of the cum-explosion you will experience watching this video.
How will you not cum in the first 3 seconds of this video? It's your job, deal with it. But I do not have to tell you, it will not be easy. Just take a look at these pretty oiled feet waiting for you to toe-fuck them without even realizing how perverted you are really.
I know you love if a woman smokes. It gives her a certain superiority. Especially if she knows you would let her sit on your face for a century for a minute of joy of licking her feet.
Imagine yourself waiting for her to hit the bloody cigarette to allow you to stroke your almost-exploding cock. She won't let just anyone burst his load on this pretty face.
You. Under the control of the words of these two strict ladies. And you want your face in that ass.
This girl just can't wait to see you cum!
I would be happy to donate at this sperm bank.
