Residents of a Nigerian town attacked by Boko Haram criticized security forces for failing to intervene even though they had been warned that the militants were nearby. At least 50 bodies have been recovered, many horribly burned, in the town.
BAUCHI, Nigeria � Residents of a Nigerian town attacked by Boko Haram criticized security forces for failing to intervene even though they had been warned that the militants were nearby. At least 50 bodies have been recovered, many horribly burned, in the town.
The attack on Gamboru, in remote northeastern Nigeria near the border with Cameroon, was part of the Islamic militants' relentless campaign of terror that also snared more than 300 teenage girls who were abducted last month from a boarding school. Most of those girls remain captives, likely in the vast Sambisa forest in northeast Nigeria.
The death toll from the Monday afternoon attack in Gamboru was initially reported by a senator to be as many as 300, but a security official said it is more likely to be around 100. Some Gamboru residents said bodies were recovered from the debris of burned shops around the town's main market, which was the focus of the attack.
Gamboru resident Abuwar Masta said the bodies were found after the market reopened on Wednesday as health workers, volunteers and traders searched for missing people. He said most of the bodies were burned beyond recognition. Some of the victims were traders from Chad and Cameroon, he said.
"It seems they hid in the shops in order not (to) be killed while fleeing," Masta said Wednesday. "Unfortunately, several explosives were thrown into the market."
Masta and other traders said that some villagers had warned the security forces of an impending attack after insurgents were seen camping in the bush near Gamboru.
The kidnapping of the schoolgirls on April 15 in the town of Chibok have sparked accusations that the Nigerian government is not doing enough to stop the militants. Boko Haram, which wants to impose Islamic law on Africa's most populous nation, has killed more than 1,500 people this year.
Outrage over the missing girls and the government's failure to rescue them brought angry Nigerian protesters into the streets this week, an embarrassment for the government of President Goodluck Jonathan which had hoped to showcase the country's emergence as Africa's largest economy as it hosted the Africa meeting of the World Economic Forum, the continent's version of Davos. That meeting is ongoing in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, which also has been the scene recently of two bomb blasts blamed on Boko Haram.
The homegrown terror group was largely contained to the northern part of Nigeria before expanding its reach with the help of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the terrorist network's affiliate in West Africa, which took in Boko Haram fighters for training in its camps in southern Somalia, beginning in 2010.
Although Boko Haram has killed thousands of people � Christians as well as Muslims � over the years in a campaign of bombing and massacres, the group's mass abduction of schoolgirls appears to have galvanized global attention and offers of security assistance from foreign countries to help rescue the girls.
The U.S. announced on Tuesday it was sending personnel and equipment to help Nigerian security forces.
Jonathan confirmed that he has accepted the American assistance, which the Pentagon said Wednesday will include communications, logistics and intelligence planning, but will not include any military operations. Britain and China said Nigeria had accepted their offers of help, and France said it was sending in a "specialized team" to help with search and rescue of the girls.

Randi Zuckerberg, who is best known for being Mark Zuckerberg's sister and creating the single-season Bravo TV show, Startups: Silicon Valley, is on to her next venture.
Zuckerberg is writing a book called "Dot Complicated" about her time as Facebook's Director of Marketing and becoming a mother in 2011. It's expected to be released on November 5.
Zuckerberg was one of the first 25 employees at Facebook. A woman of many ambitions, she left the social network in 2011. She told The New York Times then that she aspired to sing on Broadway, become host a talk-show, and be an active philanthropist.
The memoir is being published by HarperCollins and the deal requires Zuckerberg to write at least one other book. Zuckerberg is planning to write a children's book next.
"I am thrilled to be working with HarperCollins to share some of my own crazy experiences on the front lines of social media and to inspire people of all ages to embrace technology, as well as the new set of social norms that come along with it," Zuckerberg tells The Associated Press.
It's all in Zuckerberg's plan to make her own success. "Every article written about me now refers to me as Randi Zuckerberg, Mark's sister," she told NYT in 2011. "Maybe one day that won't be what people say about me."
The problem is, as the book deal shows, she can't seem to cut professional ties with Facebook or her brother.

This story appears in the June 2013 issue of National Geographic magazine.
The man who led a landmark attempt to navigate the entire length of the Grand Canyon did not exactly look the part of a dashing gilded-age adventurer. John Wesley Powell stood only five feet six, had a shock of bristle-brush hair and an unruly tobacco-stained beard that splayed onto his chest. The right sleeve of his jacket hung empty, the result of a minié ball at the Battle of Shiloh. Yet after the war he went on to survey large swaths of the Rocky Mountains, live among hostile bands of Indians, raft the Green and Colorado Rivers, and probe the unmapped labyrinths of one of the world's largest canyon systems. A stranger might reasonably have wondered what had steered this slight, one-armed university professor to embark on some of the riskiest explorations of his age.
In fact, the same could have been asked of each of the 32 men who joined Powell on January 13, 1888, at Washington, D.C.'s Cosmos Club. Like him, most had pursued their own perilous journeys into unknown wildernesses. Among them were veterans of the Civil War and Indian campaigns, naval officers, mountaineers, meteorologists, engineers, naturalists, cartographers, ethnologists, and a journalist who had crossed Siberia. They were men who had been stranded in the Arctic, survived violent weather at sea, escaped animal attacks and avalanches, endured extreme hunger, and persevered against the soul-crushing loneliness of traveling in remote landscapes.
They had gathered that evening to found the National Geographic Society and had agreed that their new organization's mission—"the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge"—would require difficult explorations into unknown territories. Their ethos could be summed up by a passage Powell had written in his journal during his Colorado River expedition almost two decades earlier. After his team, riding in small boats, made several harrowing descents through rapids and over waterfalls, three of the men decided to quit and climb their way out of the canyons, taking their chances crossing the desert. "They entreat us not to go on, and tell us that it is madness to set out in this place," Powell wrote. And yet "to leave the exploration unfinished, to say that there is a part of the canyon which I cannot explore, having already nearly accomplished it, is more than I am willing to acknowledge, and I determine to go on."
Exploration of all sorts is rooted in the notion of taking risks. Risk underlies any journey into the unknown, whether it is a ship captain's voyage into uncharted seas, a scientist's research on dangerous diseases, or an entrepreneur's investment in a new venture. But what exactly pushed Christopher Columbus to embark on a voyage across the Atlantic, or Edward Jenner to test his theory for an early smallpox vaccine on a child, or Henry Ford to bet that automobiles could replace horses? For that matter, why did Powell ignore the cautions of his men and the obvious dangers in front of him to venture deeper into the wilds of the Grand Canyon?
Some of the motivations for taking risks are obvious—financial reward, fame, political gain, saving lives. Many people willingly expose themselves to varying degrees of risk in their pursuit of such goals. But as the danger increases, the number of people willing to go forward shrinks, until the only ones who remain are the extreme risk takers, those willing to endanger their reputation, fortune, and life. This is the mystery of risk: What makes some humans willing to jeopardize so much and continue to do so even in the face of dire consequences?
One hundred and twenty-five years after that night at the Cosmos Club, scientists have begun to open up the neurological black box containing the mechanisms for risk taking and tease out the biological factors that may prompt someone to become an explorer. Their research has centered on neurotransmitters, the chemicals that control communication in the brain. One neurotransmitter that is crucial to the risk-taking equation is dopamine, which helps control motor skills but also helps drive us to seek out and learn new things as well as process emotions such as anxiety and fear. People whose brains don't produce enough dopamine, such as those who are afflicted with Parkinson's disease, often struggle with apathy and a lack of motivation.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, robust dopamine production holds one of the keys to understanding risk taking, says Larry Zweifel, a neurobiologist at the University of Washington. "When you're talking about someone who takes risks to accomplish something—climb a mountain, start a company, run for office, become a Navy SEAL—that's driven by motivation, and motivation is driven by the dopamine system. This is what compels humans to move forward."
Dopamine helps elicit a sense of satisfaction when we accomplish tasks: the riskier the task, the larger the hit of dopamine. Part of the reason we don't all climb mountains or run for office is that we don't all have the same amount of dopamine. Molecules on the surface of nerve cells called autoreceptors control how much dopamine we make and use, essentially controlling our appetite for risk.
In a study conducted at Vanderbilt University, participants underwent scans allowing scientists to observe the autoreceptors in the part of the brain circuitry associated with reward, addiction, and movement. People who had fewer autoreceptors—that is, freer flowing dopamine—were more likely to engage in novelty-seeking behavior, such as exploration. "Think of dopamine like gasoline," says neuropsychologist David Zald, the study's lead author. "You combine that with a brain equipped with a lesser ability to put on the brakes than normal, and you get people who push limits."
This is where the discussion often confuses risk takers with thrill seekers or adrenaline junkies. The hormone adrenaline is also a neurotransmitter, but unlike dopamine, which can push us toward danger in the course of achieving certain goals, adrenaline is designed to help us escape from danger. It works like this: When the brain perceives a threat, it triggers the release of adrenaline into the bloodstream, which in turn stimulates the heart, lungs, muscles, and other parts of the body to help flee or fight in a life-threatening situation. This chemical release generates a feeling of exhilaration that continues after the threat has passed, as the adrenaline clears the system. For some people that adrenaline rush can become a reward the brain seeks. They are prompted to induce it by going to scary movies or engaging in extreme sports or by artificial means such as taking narcotics.
But adrenaline isn't what motivates explorers to take risks. "An Arctic explorer who's slogging through ice for a month isn't motivated by adrenaline coursing through his veins," says Zald. "It's the dopamine firing in his brain."
Critical to this process is how the brain measures risk. Photographer Paul Nicklen describes how his definition of acceptable risks has evolved over time. "When I was a kid living in the Arctic, I would paddle ice floes like rafts, which was probably risky. Then I learned to dive, and I just kept wanting to go deeper, stay in the water longer, get closer to the animals.
"For a long time I told myself I wouldn't dive with Atlantic walruses," he says. "The reason there aren't many photos of Atlantic walruses swimming under polar ice is because it's incredibly difficult and dangerous to cut a hole in ice that's several feet thick and dive into water barely above freezing and try to get close to 3,000-pound animals that can be highly aggressive when disturbed. There are a lot of ways to die doing that."
Nicklen's reward for taking those risks is capturing walrus images that are so close, so three-dimensional, that they cast a spell over a reader. "I want readers to feel like they are a walrus, swimming with other walruses. For fleeting moments, that's what I feel like at times. The only way I can describe how powerful a feeling that is is through these pictures. I guess I am sort of addicted to it."
The movement of Nicklen's personal "risk line" is his brain's way of recalibrating risks based on past experience, says Larry Zweifel. "He is very comfortable recognizing what potential threatening situations look like and how to successfully avoid those situations. His brain calculates the risks and the potential reward, facilitated by his dopamine system, which then motivates him to do the dive."
And yet, says Zweifel, "if he were to repeatedly dive with animals that threaten his life and encounter many near-death experiences but continue to make such dives regardless of the negative outcomes, then that would be compulsive behavior, which can become pathological, like losing everything because of a gambling problem."
Acclimating to risk is something we all do in our daily lives. A good example of this occurs when learning to drive a car. At first a new driver may fear traveling on freeways, but over time that same driver with more experience will merge casually into speeding traffic with little consideration for the significant potential dangers.
"When activities become routine and familiar, we let our guard down, especially when nothing bad happens for quite some time," says Daniel Kruger, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Michigan. "We have a system designed to react to short-term threats, but when it is on all the time, it can have a detrimental impact on the body," such as elevating blood sugar and suppressing the immune system.
This familiarity principle can also be applied to help deal with the fear associated with high-risk situations. By practicing an activity, humans can become used to the risk and manage the fear that arises in those situations, says Kruger. "Tightrope walkers start by learning to walk on a beam on the ground and then move to a rope just off the ground, until finally they graduate to the high wire. It appears more dangerous to an audience that has never walked a tightrope than it does to the tightrope walker."
Last October former Austrian paratrooper Felix Baumgartner took this principle to the extreme when he rode a helium balloon into the stratosphere and leaped out, descending 22.6 miles to the Earth. His record-setting parachute jump included a four-and-a-half-minute free fall that exceeded 843 miles per hour.
In preparation for such an epic feat, he and his team had spent five years refining his equipment, using an altitude chamber to simulate the temperatures and pressures he would encounter, and practicing jumps from various altitudes.
"To people on the outside, the jump looks like an extraordinary risk," Baumgartner says. "But if you look carefully at the details, you find out the risk is minimized as much as possible."
It is, however, important to remember that a person doesn't have to jump from space to be a risk taker, says Kruger. "Taking risks is part of our human legacy. We are all motivated to survive and reproduce. To accomplish both involves choices that might lead to negative outcomes. Essentially, that is risk taking."
The notion that we are all descended from risk takers fascinates writer Paul Salopek. "Humans leaving the Great Rift Valley were the first great explorers," he reasons. With this in mind, he has embarked on a seven-year, 22,000-mile journey to follow in their footsteps as they radiated out of Africa and across the planet. It is the trail of some of the first risk takers, who along the way took bites of unknown plants and animal flesh, learned to traverse deep water, and discovered ways to sustain their body temperature in cold.
In making this journey Salopek is taking his own set of extraordinary risks. "The idea is to walk the daily length that nomads did when they left Africa 50,000 to 70,000 years ago. Scientists have found that to be about ten miles a day," he said in January, shortly before he began the trek from the site in northeastern Ethiopia's Afar region where some of the first anatomically modern human fossils were found. At this pace he plans to pass through three continents and 30-odd international borders, as well as scores of languages and ethnic groups, mountain ranges and rivers, deserts and high plains, dying cities and bustling new metropolises.
Salopek is no novice when it comes to challenging travel. In August 2006 he was covering the conflict in Darfur, Sudan, as part of an assignment for National Geographic when he was kidnapped by militiamen, who beat and threatened to kill him. He was eventually released.
"The philosophy behind this walk is to get readers to focus less on the notion that the world is a dangerous place," he says. "The world can kill you in a heartbeat, whether you stay at home or leave home." Instead, he hopes "to get readers to think about the wider horizons, the wider possibilities in life, the trails taken and not taken, and be comfortable with uncertainty."
Basically Salopek wants to remind people that at our innermost core we are all risk takers, if some more than others. And this shared willingness to explore our planet has bound our species from the very beginning.
It's a noble idea, albeit one that is fueled by dopamine.

text: Visual perception begins with our retinas locating the edges of objects in the world. Downstream neural mechanisms analyze those borders and use that information to fill in the insides of objects, constructing our perception of surfaces. What happens when those borders—the fundamental fabric of our visual reality—are tweaked? Our internal representation of objects fails, and our brain's ability to accurately represent reality no longer functions. Seemingly small mistakes lead to the very distorted perceptions of an illusory world.

Ross' micro:bit zomer stage
Ross' Summer micro:bit Experience
Door Ross Lowe (@rlowe0008), een 17 jarige student uit de UK, die zojuist een zomer stage heeft afgerond bij de Micro:bit stichting!
I've worked with the BBC micro:bit for a few years now, having contributed to the official documentation, worked at the original launch, and presented the device on the BBC One Show and Radio 4 Today Show. I've spoken to dozens of students and teachers throughout the history of the micro:bit, and it's been inspiring to follow the journey of the device over the years.
Before my summer holiday this year I was fortunate to be accepted for a Summer internship over my holiday, lasting 6 weeks, throughout which I was involved with a number of very passionate people on a few fantastic projects. I began my program by working on 'backend' features, fixing translations, and then later developed a '404' page for when a page cannot be found - which, if we've done our job correctly, you shouldn't see! I then continued to work on content for the site, including posts for MakeCode and Python resources, new images for the site, and a number of other exciting pieces of content which will become live soon. It's been exceptionally rewarding to not only work with the Foundation, but also to create content for the site to be seen by hundreds of thousands of visitors!
Throughout my 6 weeks I've worked on more projects than I could list - but it's fantastic to be able to explore the micro:bit website and point at content I've created. I'm really proud of my work with the micro:bit so far.
I also had the fantastic opportunity to meet the brilliant team behind the Foundation. I met a number of great people from the Foundation at a meetup in Oxford, where we discussed my work and the future of the micro:bit over a massive steak dinner. Whilst the food was certainly a highlight, it was especially good to finally put a face to a name and meet the team carrying micro:bit forwards.
It can appear quite intimidating to work with a 'Foundation' - but I'm pleased to say that I've had the opportunity to look 'behind the curtain' to see that the micro:bit is being maintained by a number of passionate, creative, and motivated individuals, and I'm excited to see what happens next!

Bonjour. Buenos dias. Welcome Home.
My body as been cramped into a coach compartment seat, as well as wrapped beneath a cozy first class blanket. I have stayed in a mystery/murder worthy inn in the French countryside and a chichi boutique bastion in the midst of Paris. My body rocked and rolled in a train sleeper while crossing borders through the night. My passport has acquired new stamps and at least three languages have been exquisitely mangled by moi.
And yesterday I shared another birthday with our countries landmark date of tragedy on US soil – 9/11. As I enter a new year, I acknowledge my life is rich and full; tender and tempestuous; miraculous and mundane. There is no magic spell and no destination other than NOW. Every twinkling deserves acknowledgement.
Some of my favorite moments on this recent journey were the most simple. Napping on a Sunday afternoon with the street noise of the El Borne district (Barcelona) drifting through my consciousness while the Mediterranean breeze tickled my sore and weary feet. Being surprised by a 13th Century Gothic church that pulled me into a pew and held me there with music and mystery. The chaos of a world market filled with delights that both lured and repulsed me. Slipping into a hole-in-the-wall restaurant where we were served one of the best meals of our trip and ultimately celebrated by our hosts. Chatting with a whacky, over-the-top, bold, brash & charming French taxi driver. Risking my faulty language skills (and potentially my dignity) to perform earnest pantomime in order to find the most enchanting restaurant in the French village of Vienne.
In truth, many of the greatest moments came out of risk. Walking into a church even though we weren't sure it was open to the public. Asking questions in French while realizing I probably couldn't keep up with a fluent answer. Miraculously finding my language when someone was rude to me and letting her know, "Je comprende" (I understand.) Stepping into the darkened café and making new friends. Pointing on the map and saying, "Let's stop here." Following my heart into each new day. Committing to do the same with this new year.
If you're so inclined, I invite you to stay tuned for more detailed descriptions of the adventures we claimed while traveling through France and Spain.
Coming soon... THE WINNERS of the 30/30 Contest!!!

Well done summary Lucy, it was a marvelous, enchanting journey together and apart - to an observer I believe that the joy of living was not hard to discern in the small pact of (4) travelers that visited Barcelona and France together and on their own:)) xoxoxo
- Tess Giles Marshall said...
Missed this when you posted it, so here I am a little late remarking what an enchanting tale you've woven of your adventures.
And sending back a meal in Paris: bravo!
I just discovered this website today. They're looking for travel writers...

The Revolt Of Islam: A Poem In 12 Cantos - Canto 10
Was there a human spirit in the steed,
That thus with his proud voice, ere night was gone,
He broke our linked rest? or do indeed _3795
All living things a common nature own,
And thought erect an universal throne,
Where many shapes one tribute ever bear?
And Earth, their mutual mother, does she groan
To see her sons contend? and makes she bare _3800
Her breast, that all in peace its drainless stores may share?
I have heard friendly sounds from many a tongue
Which was not human--the lone nightingale
Has answered me with her most soothing song,
Out of her ivy bower, when I sate pale _3805
With grief, and sighed beneath; from many a dale
The antelopes who flocked for food have spoken
With happy sounds, and motions, that avail
Like man's own speech; and such was now the token
Of waning night, whose calm by that proud neigh was broken.
Each night, that mighty steed bore me abroad,
And I returned with food to our retreat,
And dark intelligence; the blood which flowed
Over the fields, had stained the courser's feet;
Soon the dust drinks that bitter dew,--then meet _3815
The vulture, and the wild dog, and the snake,
The wolf, and the hyaena gray, and eat
The dead in horrid truce: their throngs did make
Behind the steed, a chasm like waves in a ship's wake.
For, from the utmost realms of earth came pouring _3820
The banded slaves whom every despot sent
At that throned traitor's summons; like the roaring
Of fire, whose floods the wild deer circumvent
In the scorched pastures of the South; so bent
The armies of the leagued Kings around _3825
Their files of steel and flame;--the continent
Trembled, as with a zone of ruin bound,
Beneath their feet, the sea shook with their Navies' sound.
From every nation of the earth they came,
The multitude of moving heartless things, _3830
Whom slaves call men: obediently they came,
Like sheep whom from the fold the shepherd brings
To the stall, red with blood; their many kings
Led them, thus erring, from their native land;
Tartar and Frank, and millions whom the wings _3835
Of Indian breezes lull, and many a band
The Arctic Anarch sent, and Idumea's sand,
Fertile in prodigies and lies;--so there
Strange natures made a brotherhood of ill.
The desert savage ceased to grasp in fear _3840
His Asian shield and bow, when, at the will
Of Europe's subtler son, the bolt would kill
Some shepherd sitting on a rock secure;
But smiles of wondering joy his face would fill,
And savage sympathy: those slaves impure, _3845
Each one the other thus from ill to ill did lure.
For traitorously did that foul Tyrant robe
His countenance in lies,--even at the hour
When he was snatched from death, then o'er the globe,
With secret signs from many a mountain-tower, _3850
With smoke by day, and fire by night, the power
Of Kings and Priests, those dark conspirators,
He called:--they knew his cause their own, and swore
Like wolves and serpents to their mutual wars
Strange truce, with many a rite which Earth and Heaven abhors.
Myriads had come--millions were on their way;
The Tyrant passed, surrounded by the steel
Of hired assassins, through the public way,
Choked with his country's dead:--his footsteps reel
On the fresh blood--he smiles. 'Ay, now I feel _3860
I am a King in truth!' he said, and took
His royal seat, and bade the torturing wheel
Be brought, and fire, and pincers, and the hook,
And scorpions, that his soul on its revenge might look.
'But first, go slay the rebels--why return _3865
The victor bands?' he said, 'millions yet live,
Of whom the weakest with one word might turn
The scales of victory yet;--let none survive
But those within the walls--each fifth shall give
The expiation for his brethren here.-- _3870
Go forth, and waste and kill!'--'O king, forgive
My speech,' a soldier answered--'but we fear
The spirits of the night, and morn is drawing near;
'For we were slaying still without remorse,
And now that dreadful chief beneath my hand _3875
Defenceless lay, when on a hell-black horse,
An Angel bright as day, waving a brand
Which flashed among the stars, passed.'--'Dost thou stand
Parleying with me, thou wretch?' the king replied;
'Slaves, bind him to the wheel; and of this band, _3880
Whoso will drag that woman to his side
That scared him thus, may burn his dearest foe beside;
'And gold and glory shall be his.--Go forth!'
They rushed into the plain.--Loud was the roar
Of their career: the horsemen shook the earth; _3885
The wheeled artillery's speed the pavement tore;
The infantry, file after file, did pour
Their clouds on the utmost hills. Five days they slew
Among the wasted fields; the sixth saw gore
Stream through the city; on the seventh, the dew _3890
Of slaughter became stiff, and there was peace anew:
Peace in the desert fields and villages,
Between the glutted beasts and mangled dead!
Peace in the silent streets! save when the cries
Of victims to their fiery judgement led, _3895
Made pale their voiceless lips who seemed to dread
Even in their dearest kindred, lest some tongue
Be faithless to the fear yet unbetrayed;
Peace in the Tyrant's palace, where the throng
Waste the triumphal hours in festival and song! _3900
Day after day the burning sun rolled on
Over the death-polluted land--it came
Out of the east like fire, and fiercely shone
A lamp of Autumn, ripening with its flame
The few lone ears of corn;--the sky became _3905
Stagnate with heat, so that each cloud and blast
Languished and died,--the thirsting air did claim
All moisture, and a rotting vapour passed
From the unburied dead, invisible and fast.
First Want, then Plague came on the beasts; their food _3910
Failed, and they drew the breath of its decay.
Millions on millions, whom the scent of blood
Had lured, or who, from regions far away,
Had tracked the hosts in festival array,
From their dark deserts; gaunt and wasting now, _3915
Stalked like fell shades among their perished prey;
In their green eyes a strange disease did glow,
They sank in hideous spasm, or pains severe and slow.
The fish were poisoned in the streams; the birds
In the green woods perished; the insect race _3920
Was withered up; the scattered flocks and herds
Who had survived the wild beasts' hungry chase
Died moaning, each upon the other's face
In helpless agony gazing; round the City
All night, the lean hyaenas their sad case _3925
Like starving infants wailed; a woeful ditty!
And many a mother wept, pierced with unnatural pity.
Amid the aereal minarets on high,
The Ethiopian vultures fluttering fell
From their long line of brethren in the sky, _3930
Startling the concourse of mankind.--Too well
These signs the coming mischief did foretell:--
Strange panic first, a deep and sickening dread
Within each heart, like ice, did sink and dwell,
A voiceless thought of evil, which did spread _3935
With the quick glance of eyes, like withering lightnings shed.
Day after day, when the year wanes, the frosts
Strip its green crown of leaves, till all is bare;
So on those strange and congregated hosts
Came Famine, a swift shadow, and the air _3940
Groaned with the burden of a new despair;
Famine, than whom Misrule no deadlier daughter
Feeds from her thousand breasts, though sleeping there
With lidless eyes, lie Faith, and Plague, and Slaughter,
A ghastly brood; conceived of Lethe's sullen water. _3945
There was no food, the corn was trampled down,
The flocks and herds had perished; on the shore
The dead and putrid fish were ever thrown;
The deeps were foodless, and the winds no more
Creaked with the weight of birds, but, as before _3950
Those winged things sprang forth, were void of shade;
The vines and orchards, Autumn's golden store,
Were burned;--so that the meanest food was weighed
With gold, and Avarice died before the god it made.
There was no corn--in the wide market-place _3955
All loathliest things, even human flesh, was sold;
They weighed it in small scales--and many a face
Was fixed in eager horror then: his gold
The miser brought; the tender maid, grown bold
Through hunger, bared her scorned charms in vain; _3960
The mother brought her eldest born, controlled
By instinct blind as love, but turned again
And bade her infant suck, and died in silent pain.
Then fell blue Plague upon the race of man.
'O, for the sheathed steel, so late which gave _3965
Oblivion to the dead, when the streets ran
With brothers' blood! O, that the earthquake's grave
Would gape, or Ocean lift its stifling wave!'
Vain cries--throughout the streets thousands pursued
Each by his fiery torture howl and rave, _3970
Or sit in frenzy's unimagined mood,
Upon fresh heaps of dead; a ghastly multitude.
It was not hunger now, but thirst. Each well
Was choked with rotting corpses, and became
A cauldron of green mist made visible _3975
At sunrise. Thither still the myriads came,
Seeking to quench the agony of the flame,
Which raged like poison through their bursting veins;
Naked they were from torture, without shame,
Spotted with nameless scars and lurid blains, _3980
Childhood, and youth, and age, writhing in savage pains.
It was not thirst, but madness! Many saw
Their own lean image everywhere, it went
A ghastlier self beside them, till the awe
Of that dread sight to self-destruction sent _3985
Those shrieking victims; some, ere life was spent,
Sought, with a horrid sympathy, to shed
Contagion on the sound; and others rent
Their matted hair, and cried aloud, 'We tread
On fire! the avenging Power his hell on earth has spread!'
Sometimes the living by the dead were hid.
Near the great fountain in the public square,
Where corpses made a crumbling pyramid
Under the sun, was heard one stifled prayer
For life, in the hot silence of the air; _3995
And strange 'twas, amid that hideous heap to see
Some shrouded in their long and golden hair,
As if not dead, but slumbering quietly
Like forms which sculptors carve, then love to agony.
Famine had spared the palace of the king:-- _4000
He rioted in festival the while,
He and his guards and priests; but Plague did fling
One shadow upon all. Famine can smile
On him who brings it food, and pass, with guile
Of thankful falsehood, like a courtier gray, _4005
The house-dog of the throne; but many a mile
Comes Plague, a winged wolf, who loathes alway
The garbage and the scum that strangers make her prey.
So, near the throne, amid the gorgeous feast,
Sheathed in resplendent arms, or loosely dight _4010
To luxury, ere the mockery yet had ceased
That lingered on his lips, the warrior's might
Was loosened, and a new and ghastlier night
In dreams of frenzy lapped his eyes; he fell
Headlong, or with stiff eyeballs sate upright _4015
Among the guests, or raving mad did tell
Strange truths; a dying seer of dark oppression's hell.
The Princes and the Priests were pale with terror;
That monstrous faith wherewith they ruled mankind,
Fell, like a shaft loosed by the bowman's error, _4020
On their own hearts: they sought and they could find
No refuge--'twas the blind who led the blind!
So, through the desolate streets to the high fane,
The many-tongued and endless armies wind
In sad procession: each among the train _4025
To his own Idol lifts his supplications vain.
'O God!' they cried, 'we know our secret pride
Has scorned thee, and thy worship, and thy name;
Secure in human power we have defied
Thy fearful might; we bend in fear and shame _4030
Before thy presence; with the dust we claim
Kindred; be merciful, O King of Heaven!
Most justly have we suffered for thy fame
Made dim, but be at length our sins forgiven,
Ere to despair and death thy worshippers be driven. _4035
'O King of Glory! thou alone hast power!
Who can resist thy will? who can restrain
Thy wrath, when on the guilty thou dost shower
The shafts of thy revenge, a blistering rain?
Greatest and best, be merciful again! _4040
Have we not stabbed thine enemies, and made
The Earth an altar, and the Heavens a fane,
Where thou wert worshipped with their blood, and laid
Those hearts in dust which would thy searchless works have weighed?
'Well didst thou loosen on this impious City _4045
Thine angels of revenge: recall them now;
Thy worshippers, abased, here kneel for pity,
And bind their souls by an immortal vow:
We swear by thee! and to our oath do thou
Give sanction, from thine hell of fiends and flame, _4050
That we will kill with fire and torments slow,
The last of those who mocked thy holy name,
And scorned the sacred laws thy prophets did proclaim.'
Thus they with trembling limbs and pallid lips
Worshipped their own hearts' image, dim and vast, _4055
Scared by the shade wherewith they would eclipse
The light of other minds;--troubled they passed
From the great Temple;--fiercely still and fast
The arrows of the plague among them fell,
And they on one another gazed aghast, _4060
And through the hosts contention wild befell,
As each of his own god the wondrous works did tell.
And Oromaze, Joshua, and Mahomet,
Moses, and Buddh, Zerdusht, and Brahm, and Foh,
A tumult of strange names, which never met _4065
Before, as watchwords of a single woe,
Arose; each raging votary 'gan to throw
Aloft his armed hands, and each did howl
'Our God alone is God!'--and slaughter now
Would have gone forth, when from beneath a cowl _4070
A voice came forth, which pierced like ice through every soul.
'Twas an Iberian Priest from whom it came,
A zealous man, who led the legioned West,
With words which faith and pride had steeped in flame,
To quell the unbelievers; a dire guest _4075
Even to his friends was he, for in his breast
Did hate and guile lie watchful, intertwined,
Twin serpents in one deep and winding nest;
He loathed all faith beside his own, and pined
To wreak his fear of Heaven in vengeance on mankind. _4080
But more he loathed and hated the clear light
Of wisdom and free thought, and more did fear,
Lest, kindled once, its beams might pierce the night,
Even where his Idol stood; for, far and near
Did many a heart in Europe leap to hear _4085
That faith and tyranny were trampled down;
Many a pale victim, doomed for truth to share
The murderer's cell, or see, with helpless groan,
The priests his children drag for slaves to serve their own.
He dared not kill the infidels with fire _4090
Or steel, in Europe; the slow agonies
Of legal torture mocked his keen desire:
So he made truce with those who did despise
The expiation, and the sacrifice,
That, though detested, Islam's kindred creed _4095
Might crush for him those deadlier enemies;
For fear of God did in his bosom breed
A jealous hate of man, an unreposing need.
'Peace! Peace!' he cried, 'when we are dead, the Day
Of Judgement comes, and all shall surely know _4100
Whose God is God, each fearfully shall pay
The errors of his faith in endless woe!
But there is sent a mortal vengeance now
On earth, because an impious race had spurned
Him whom we all adore,--a subtle foe, _4105
By whom for ye this dread reward was earned,
And kingly thrones, which rest on faith, nigh overturned.
'Think ye, because ye weep, and kneel, and pray,
That God will lull the pestilence? It rose
Even from beneath his throne, where, many a day, _4110
His mercy soothed it to a dark repose:
It walks upon the earth to judge his foes;
And what are thou and I, that he should deign
To curb his ghastly minister, or close
The gates of death, ere they receive the twain _4115
Who shook with mortal spells his undefended reign?
'Ay, there is famine in the gulf of hell,
Its giant worms of fire for ever yawn.--
Their lurid eyes are on us! those who fell
By the swift shafts of pestilence ere dawn, _4120
Are in their jaws! they hunger for the spawn
Of Satan, their own brethren, who were sent
To make our souls their spoil. See! see! they fawn
Like dogs, and they will sleep with luxury spent,
When those detested hearts their iron fangs have rent! _4125
'Our God may then lull Pestilence to sleep:--
Pile high the pyre of expiation now,
A forest's spoil of boughs, and on the heap
Pour venomous gums, which sullenly and slow,
When touched by flame, shall burn, and melt, and flow, _4130
A stream of clinging fire,--and fix on high
A net of iron, and spread forth below
A couch of snakes, and scorpions, and the fry
Of centipedes and worms, earth's hellish progeny!
'Let Laon and Laone on that pyre, _4135
Linked tight with burning brass, perish!--then pray
That, with this sacrifice, the withering ire
Of Heaven may be appeased.' He ceased, and they
A space stood silent, as far, far away
The echoes of his voice among them died; _4140
And he knelt down upon the dust, alway
Muttering the curses of his speechless pride,
Whilst shame, and fear, and awe, the armies did divide.
His voice was like a blast that burst the portal
Of fabled hell; and as he spake, each one _4145
Saw gape beneath the chasms of fire immortal,
And Heaven above seemed cloven, where, on a throne
Girt round with storms and shadows, sate alone
Their King and Judge--fear killed in every breast
All natural pity then, a fear unknown _4150
Before, and with an inward fire possessed,
They raged like homeless beasts whom burning woods invest.
'Twas morn.--At noon the public crier went forth,
Proclaiming through the living and the dead,
'The Monarch saith, that his great Empire's worth _4155
Is set on Laon and Laone's head:
He who but one yet living here can lead,
Or who the life from both their hearts can wring,
Shall be the kingdom's heir--a glorious meed!
But he who both alive can hither bring, _4160
The Princess shall espouse, and reign an equal King.'
Ere night the pyre was piled, the net of iron
Was spread above, the fearful couch below;
It overtopped the towers that did environ
That spacious square; for Fear is never slow _4165
To build the thrones of Hate, her mate and foe;
So, she scourged forth the maniac multitude
To rear this pyramid--tottering and slow,
Plague-stricken, foodless, like lean herds pursued
By gadflies, they have piled the heath, and gums, and wood.
Night came, a starless and a moonless gloom.
Until the dawn, those hosts of many a nation
Stood round that pile, as near one lover's tomb
Two gentle sisters mourn their desolation;
And in the silence of that expectation, _4175
Was heard on high the reptiles' hiss and crawl--
It was so deep--save when the devastation
Of the swift pest, with fearful interval,
Marking its path with shrieks, among the crowd would fall.
Morn came,--among those sleepless multitudes, _4180
Madness, and Fear, and Plague, and Famine still
Heaped corpse on corpse, as in autumnal woods
The frosts of many a wind with dead leaves fill
Earth's cold and sullen brooks; in silence, still
The pale survivors stood; ere noon, the fear _4185
Of Hell became a panic, which did kill
Like hunger or disease, with whispers drear,
As 'Hush! hark! Come they yet?--Just Heaven! thine hour is near!'
And Priests rushed through their ranks, some counterfeiting
The rage they did inspire, some mad indeed _4190
With their own lies; they said their god was waiting
To see his enemies writhe, and burn, and bleed,--
And that, till then, the snakes of Hell had need
Of human souls:--three hundred furnaces
Soon blazed through the wide City, where, with speed, _4195
Men brought their infidel kindred to appease
God's wrath, and, while they burned, knelt round on quivering knees.
The noontide sun was darkened with that smoke,
The winds of eve dispersed those ashes gray.
The madness which these rites had lulled, awoke _4200
Again at sunset.--Who shall dare to say
The deeds which night and fear brought forth, or weigh
In balance just the good and evil there?
He might man's deep and searchless heart display,
And cast a light on those dim labyrinths, where _4205
Hope, near imagined chasms, is struggling with despair.
'Tis said, a mother dragged three children then,
To those fierce flames which roast the eyes in the head,
And laughed, and died; and that unholy men,
Feasting like fiends upon the infidel dead, _4210
Looked from their meal, and saw an Angel tread
The visible floor of Heaven, and it was she!
And, on that night, one without doubt or dread
Came to the fire, and said, 'Stop, I am he!
Kill me!'--They burned them both with hellish mockery. _4215
And, one by one, that night, young maidens came,
Beauteous and calm, like shapes of living stone
Clothed in the light of dreams, and by the flame
Which shrank as overgorged, they laid them down,
And sung a low sweet song, of which alone _4220
One word was heard, and that was Liberty;
And that some kissed their marble feet, with moan
Like love, and died; and then that they did die
With happy smiles, which sunk in white tranquillity.

DescriptionHaunted Gold (Warner Brothers - First National, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41"). John Wayne starred in six Westerns for Warner Brothers from 1932 to 1933. All of these films used stock footage from the First National/Ken Maynard films and usually were a remake of some kind. The beautiful images and color on these posters are among the most scarce and collectible for early Wayne films. There has been extensive work performed on the borders. There is a sizable amount of paper loss down the left side of the poster that extends through Wayne's hand. There is paper loss on the right side of the poster that extends through Wayne's shoulder and the villain's face. The restoration work was masterfully performed and the poster displays very well. Good/Very Good on Linen.

dejango necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 224 diseños de 41 diseñadores freelance.
TravelJournal is a cutting-edge platform that provides adventurers, explorers and the travel community with unique tools to document their travel experiences in real time. TravelJournal is planning of becoming a must-have companion for travelers across the globe by providing them with simple, intuitive and powerful authoring and publishing tools.
Some more information can be found at: http://www.traveljournal.com
From amateur travelers and writers to seasoned explorers and professional travelers who wish to document, publish and share their experiences in real time while on the road.
We're looking for:
- A fresh, simple and innovative brand identity expressed with a powerful yet simple and to-the-point design.
- The logo should be composed of an ORIGINAL illustrative element (no stock clipart, please) and clearly readable typography (we encourage the use of professional-grade typefaces), with practical applications in both portrait and landscape orientations.
- If they are separate elements and not composed together into a single entity, graphic and textual elements should be clear and distinctively identifiable as standalone, since we would like the possibility to use them separate as well as together.
- The identity should strongly reflect and support the concept behind our product.
Possible directions: we love the idea of an illustrated viking boat so that might be a good start, but we are open to any other ideas you might have, if you can stand behind your concept and show us how and why this fits our vision.
What we need?
- Full color vector design.
- Grayscale / single color / monotone treatment variation.
- Negative (bright on dark background) treatment variation.
- Portrait and landscape-oriented variations.
- Suggestions for a complementing color palette for practical use and application of the logo on a web page, for example.
Please don't waste your time on:
- Fancy effects and cheap tricks - we're looking for professionally executed work.
- Predictable web 2.0-ish styling.
- Stock clipart illustrations.
- 'borrowed' artwork, ideas or concepts - we are looking for _fresh and original work_. If you didn't come up with the idea yourself, don't use it. No exceptions.
Please note we are looking for a brand identity and not just a logo. If you don't understand the difference, your design is probably not good for us.
We highly encourage designers submitting their work to write a few words explaining their concept or thought process and how they managed to achieve and execute it.

The camel is an important figure in Arab Culture. In the Middle East and Northern Africa, this animal is revered as a source of transportation, food, shelter and has been and integral part of Bedouin life. It is an unique animal of the desert lands and adjusted its form to the harsh desert climate with padded feet for walking on hot surfaces, its hump which contains stored energy in fat, and its wide nostrils made to conserve moisture.
As this animal is unique to this region and an integral part of Arab culture, Dubai's urban fathers had the foresight to take this part of Bedouin life, refine it and present it to the world as something to be appreciated and something uniquely Arab.
In the world's largest and most luxurious shopping venue, the Dubai Mall, in the center of the mall's expansive walkway, you'll find the Majlis Dubai. The Majlis Dubai is the ' first and finest camel milk café', located in The Dubai mall, Souk Area.
You will spot it immediately as at its entrance are two huge bronze camels with mall goers taking photos. There are many tables filled with Emirates in their local dress as well as expats all sitting talking and enjoying the various chocolates, coffees and other delicious bites. I quickly learned that the Majlis Dubai is the perfect venue to showcase something exclusive to Dubai. The first rate production of Camel products including camel milk and the ever so tasty camel milk chocolate.
Majlis Dubai is not a restaurant nor a café but a lobby lounge where one can find the unique Camel Milk Chocolate and at the same time have a convivial "Pause Café" while nibbling on fine delicate finger food within a lavish Arabian yet modern atmosphere. Majlis an Arabi term meaning "a place of sitting", used in the context of "council", to describe various types of special gatherings.
The Majlis Dubai is a unique holistic concept focusing on camel milk as a core ingredient in most of the products. Not only the coffee creations such as Camelatte and Camelccino are based on camel milk, but also all the pastries (muffins, croissants, Danish) and breads are made from this unique material. The café also serves camel milk ice cream and also camel meat and camel milk cheese products such as kanafeh and quiche.
The Majlis Dubai is conceptualized as a merge of Arabian coffee culture and modern day Dubai lifestyle, bringing tradition and modernity together. The complete concept is held together by the core ingredient, the camel milk.
It was a wonderful experience to sit, people watch in the mall, talk with friends and take in the wonderful tastes in a comfortable environment. The food was amazing from the cappuccinos, to the ice crème and the pastries. And what was amazing is that they were all made from camel products.
After this experience, I wanted to see where all these great products came from, Kirsten Lange, the Communications Director and host supreme arranged for us to take a tour of the camel farm that produces the milk, chocolate, and other delicious bites that we experienced at the Majlis.
Far on the outskirts of Dubai, you'll find the EMIRATES INDUSTRY FOR CAMEL MILK & PRODUCTS (EICMP) which is a camel farm and production facility. It is the top one in the world that produces camel products including milk, chocolates, and other products we were excited to take a tour. The farm is currently home to about 3,400 camels producing about 5,000 liters of raw camel milk per day.
After donning our special hygienic shoe covers to enter the facility we are escorted by Kirsten who knows everything about camels, the farm, and their products.
Camels are very highly intelligent and have distinct personality and appearance. From the coloration of the fur to the shape of the head and ears to the one of kind personality, the more you are around them the more you can appreciate them. The camels are very well treated on this expansive farm, they are milked once a day and the mothers are able to stay with their calves for up to a year.
Along the tour we learned about the health benefits of Camel milk which is often considered the next super food. Camel milk is lower in fat content, higher in natural vitamin C and rich in unsaturated fatty acids. It supports the immune system and is non-‐allergenic. The content of the milk protein lactoferrin is ten times higher than in cow milk and gives camel milk anti-‐viral and anti-‐bacterial properties. Camel milk contains a high level of minerals, giving it its slightly salty taste.
Camel milk is more difficult to produce and not widely distributed around the world. Unlike cows, camels are not producing a vast amount of milk on a daily basis. The milking process is complicated and the daily quantity per camel varies between two to ten liters-‐ if any, since camels are very particular about milking conditions. An unhealthy camel might not supply any milk at all. That's what makes camel milk a very precious and exquisite product.
The camels at the EICMP farm get the best hay and grass. They are showered regularly; using special soaps and pedicure are normal treatments on the farm in order to prevent skin disease and injuries to the hoof. The camels can move freely on a 4.5 km-‐walking trail. Top veterinarians make sure that all camels are strong and healthy.
The UAE production facility incorporates latest technologies and meets the most stringent regulations. The facility has recently been listed the first camel milk production facility in the Middle East to receive EU Commission approval to export its products to the EU zone.
The facility produces the popular "Camelicious" camel milk, which is available in plain and flavored varieties including strawberry, dates, saffron, and chocolate. Research continues to develop even more flavors and products. New to the UAE market is also a variety of cheeses.
From this milk, they have created Al Nassma chocolate. It is the first and finest Camel milk chocolate in the world and has a very smooth and with a unique flavor. The chocolate has been made with the highest standards to be on par with the finest Swiss or German chocolates. It is now sold throughout the world from specialty boutiques in Europe and in Asia. They have created a large variety of products including pralines, chocolate bars and camel figures. One of my favorites is the Macadamia- Orange… crunchy, smooth, and full of flavor.
Al Nassma Chocolate worked with a team of international experts from Austria and Germany to realise this unique Arabian product. These chocolatiers from around the world have teamed up to create this sensational chocolate superlative for Dubai. Al Nassma is a true innovation in the chocolate industry and one of the first luxury food products with deep roots in Dubai, deemed to conquer the world as the sweet ambassador of Arabia.
The objective of the EICMP was to refine a product unique in the world and to do it a the highest level. Dubai is about being the best. The founding fathers of the EICMP set the goal to take something that is vital to the lives and heritage of the Arab people, the Camel, and to place its products at the top of the world.
My visit to the farm and Marjlis was absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed every minute of it and learned so much about this amazing animal, the health benefits of the milk, and its integral part of Arab heritage. The way that the city fathers have revered this part of its Bedouin heritage and presented on the world stage is impressive in an ever so tasty way. See the full story and more photos at Arabia Escapes.

Williamsburg Pop-Up Bunna Cafe is a New Way to Get Your Ethiopian Fix
If you want Ethiopian food in this city, you're pretty much limited to one style of restaurant: the dark, warm, clove-scented places with more or less the same menu, prices, and general dining experience. Awash in the East Village is probably my favorite of the bunch, particularly for its tartare, but I'm always on the hunt for more in other parts of the city.
A new entry to the mix is Bunna Cafe, a series of pop-ups around North Brooklyn bars, cafes, and outdoor events. On my visit, the pop-up was set in the back garden of a bar, and $10 awarded me a full plate with six dishes and a couple rolls of injera. With beer in hand and the sun on my face, the meal felt more like a picnic than a restaurant visit—something I could get used to.
Though some of the dishes hit home more than others, it's nice to have a plate of Ethiopian food that's yours alone, one where you don't feel compelled to devour the entire 24-inch serving platter for the table. Anyone else have this problem? I do every time.
Bunna Cafe's selection sticks to vegetarian (vegan, actually, though you wouldn't know it) classics: legume pulses, stewed vegetables, some salads, and homemade injera. Red lentil misor wot is a dark, moody standout with a careful balance of chili with sweet spice; their gomen, steamed kale with potatoes and sweet carrots, has that satisfying dark green feeling without stewing the vegetables to death or overloading them with spice. And if some other dishes are less successful, the vegetables make up for it with a brightness Ethiopian restaurants often ignore. Worth noting: all the food is served cool, which makes it feel like an Ethopian picnic all the more, and a summer-appropriate one.
The pop-ups are the work of Sam Saverance, whose academic work brought him to Ethiopia four years ago. He fell in love with the country's cuisine, and one year ago partnered with a veteran of New York's restaurant industry and an Ethiopian home cook to start the cafe. Bunna Cafe has recently been selling at street festivals, outdoor events, and in cafes, as well as hosting private dinner parties—all in North Brooklyn, about once a week. This weekend, they'll be up at Harlem's Cafe Addis. Later in September, they'll be throwing a party to celebrate Ethiopian new year in Brooklyn. The team hopes to open their own cafe in Brooklyn in a year.
You can keep up with Bunna Cafe on their Facebook page, where they regularly announce upcoming events, as well as on their website.

Dyslexia, Susceptibility to, 3: Dyslexia is a name for a condition where people have difficulty with reading and writing.

Researchers have discovered that there are a number of genes linked to an increased susceptibility to dyslexia. Genetic forms of dyslexia are considered to be primary dyslexia and patients tend to have problems with reading, writing and spelling even as adults.

Pornography, or obscene painting, which in the time of the Romans was practiced with the grossest license, prevailed especially at no particular period in Greece, but was apparently tolerated to a considerable extent at all times. Parrhasius, Aristides, Pausanias, Nicophanes, Chaerephanes, Arellius, and a few other [pornographoi] are mentioned as having made themselves notorious for this species of license. [Charles Anthon, "Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities," New York, 1843]In reference to modern works by 1859 (originally French novels), later as a charge against native literature; sense of "obscene pictures" in modern times is from 1906. Also sometimes used late 19c. for "description of prostitutes" as a matter of public hygiene. The "Medical Archives" in 1873 proposed porniatria for "the lengthy and really meaningless expression 'social evil hospital' ...."
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [hard-core pornography]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that. [U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, concurring opinion, "Jacobellis v. Ohio," 1964]In ancient contexts, often paired with rhypography, "genre painting of low, sordid, or unsuitable subjects." Pornocracy (1860) is "the dominating influence of harlots," used specifically of the government of Rome during the first half of the 10th century by Theodora and her daughters. Pornotopia (1966) was coined to describe the ideal erotic-world of pornographic movies.
