I Live On Stolen Land
Consider donating to one of these wonderful charities dedicated to preserving the cultures, livelihoods, rights, and dignity of Indigenous peoples.
First Nations Development Institute. Information taken from their 'Our Programs' page: Grantmaker dedicated to addressing financial inequality and its many, many negative impacts. In additional to financial aid, FNDI provides job training and participates in policy-making and advocacy, often focusing on environmental concerns, food insecurity, and tribal sovereignty. Some examples of current projects include "Fortifying Our Forests" AKA restoring and protecting sacred land in partnership with the Forest Service, Native Language Immersion Initiative AKA ensuring the survival of Native languages, and Native Farm To School AKA connecting Native youth with traditional means of growing and harvesting food.
Native American Rights Fund A registered non-profit that provides legal representation in matters of Native interest, be that a single individual or an entire tribe. Since their inception, they have won cases that made critical contributions to the advancement of Native rights in the United States. Their efforts have helped uphold tribal sovereignty, compelled museums, universities, and other institutions to return the remains of Native ancestors, and protected the voting rights of pretty much everyone.
Redhawk Native American Arts Council This organization's primary focus is on the preservation of Native American arts through educational programs. We can also thank them for granting scholarships to Native students seeking higher education, and for running a youth program which aims to help Urban Indigenous youth connect with their heritage through the arts.
Seventh Generation Fund A "fiscal sponsor" for smaller community groups that are run by and for Native tribes/individuals, with the focus of preserving heritage and defending tribal sovereignty, as well as continued survival post-genocide. One example of their work is the Flicker Fund, a disaster fund dedicated to supporting Indigenous communities during times of crisis, be that a pandemic, extreme weather, or a severe drought. Another is the Traditions Bearers Fellowship, which provides financial support to tribal community members who carry on pre-colonization traditions.
Quiluete Move To Higher Ground Stephanie Meyer committed a serious of egregious acts of cultural appropriation and exploitation, and made a very large fortune off a very real tribe. This very real tribe now finds themselves living in a tsunami zone and unable to afford a move to a safer area. As of 2022, the move of the Tribal School, the most important phase, is complete, but there's much more work to be done.
Indigenous Women Rising Abortion Fund A fund to provide Native individuals and family access to abortion care, menstrual hygiene supplies, and midwifery. Here are two separate articles verifying their status as the ONLY indigenous specific (and Indigenous led) abortion fund. For more information on how the destruction of Roe V Wade has negatively impacted Indigenous women, look here and here.
South Dakota Historical Society Foundation So, this isn't a Native led or Native specific organization, but, they work closely with Indigenous communities in South Dakota to preserve their heritage alongside the state's history. I recently had a lovely conversation with one of their representatives about the Ghost Shirt their society is sheltering until such a time as the tribe it rightfully belongs to can house it safely. Article about the shirt's repatriation with some cool info on the shirt's history is here.

Paul Cadmus - portrait by Luigi Lucioni
1904 – Paul Cadmus (d.1999), American painter, is best known for the satiric innocence of his frequently censored paintings of burly men in skin-tight clothes and curvaceous women in provocative poses, but he also created works that celebrate same-sex domesticity.
Born in New York City on December 17, 1904 into a family of commercial artists, Cadmus studied at the National Academy of Design and the Arts Students League. He lived in Europe from 1931 to 1933, where he traveled with artist Jared French and where he produced his first mature canvases.
In the 1930s, Cadmus became the center of a circle of gay men who were prominent within the arts in New York City. This circle included his brother-in-law, Lincoln Kirstein, who helped found the American School of Ballet, and the photographer George Platt Lynes, for whom Cadmus frequently modeled.
In the 1930s, Cadmus used caricature, satire, and innuendo to veil the homoeroticism of his subjects, which radically pushed at the boundaries of acceptability. Cadmus's 1933 painting The Fleet's In! was selected for inclusion in a show at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, and in 1934 it placed him at the center of a public controversy.
Tumblr media
The Fleet's In
Like many of his early works, the painting is ostensibly heterosexual in its depiction of sailors flirting with young women, who may be prostitutes, but it nevertheless manages to suggest a homosexual exchange between a well-dressed civilian, who sports a red tie, a widely recognized signal of homosexuality from the turn of the twentieth century, and a sailor to whom he offers a cigarette.
The painting's homoerotic subtext led to its removal after the opening of the exhibition. Frequently cited as one of the earliest incidents of government censorship, the removal of the painting was almost certainly motivated by homophobia.
Cadmus's painting Coney Island (1935) also became the subject of controversy. Its portrayal of local residents engaged in provocative (heterosexual) antics enraged Brooklyn realtors, who threatened to file a civil suit against the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Similarly, his commission for the Port Washington post office was also scandalous and was cancelled: the mural he produced, Pocahontas and John Smith (1938), so emphasizes the buttocks and genitals of the Native Americans that it obscures the subject, which is the rescue of John Smith.As a result of Cadmus's notoriety, his 1937 exhibition at Midtown Galleries in New York attracted more than 7,000 visitors.
Other early works of particular interest for their homoeroticism are YMCA Locker Room (1933), Shore Leave (1933), and Greenwich Village Cafeteria (1934). Like The Fleet's In!, these works also document homosexual cruising and seduction.
In Cadmus's paintings, significant exchanges of glances signal sexual longing and availability, often in the very midst of mundane activities. His work documents the surreptitious cruising rituals of an urban, gay male subculture in the 1930s.
Cadmus's painting What I Believe (1947-1948) was inspired by E.M. Forster's essay of the same name, in which the novelist expresses his faith in personal relations and his concept of a spiritual aristocracy "of the sensitive, the considerate, and the plucky. Its members are to be found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages, and there is a secret understanding between them when they meet. They represent the true human condition, the one permanent victory of our queer race over cruelty and chaos."
Tumblr media
What I Believe
Cadmus's allegorical painting, which depicts such figures as Forster and Christopher Isherwood in Socratic poses, makes clear his intellectual allegiance to the humanism that Forster depicted as gravely threatened by fascism.
In still other later works, such as The Bath (1951) and The Haircut (1986), Cadmus explores the joys of his long-term relationship with his partner and model, Jon Andersson. These paintings are particularly touching in their illustration of an entirely ordinary but rarely depicted subject: the domesticity of a same-sex couple.
Although he stopped painting towards the end of his life, Cadmus continued to draw at his home in Weston, Connecticut, particularly portraits and figure studies of Andersson, his favorite model and companion of 35 years.
Cadmus died on December 12, 1999, five days shy of his 95th birthday.

Tony Tavarossi and bike
1933 – Homo-masculine proto-leatherman Tony Tavarossi (d.1981) was a native San Franciscan who was as important to gay liberation history in San Francisco as his contemporary, the drag-queen politician José Sarria.
He came out at the age of twelve under the tables (literally) in the curtained booths of the South China Café at l8th and Castro streets. He nick-named himself "Tony"; his birth name was Elloyd Tavarossi.
He was a “walking oral historian” who in his own personal history set in motion a “domino effect” in gay liberation history:
Tony Tavarossi founded San Francisco’s first bike bar or leather bar, the Why Not? (1960), where he was himself arrested for propositioning an undercover cop, thus closing the Why Not? in a raid that was a rehearsal for the police raid on the Tay-Bush lnn (1961) which emboldened Chuck Arnett to hire Tony in opening the legendary Tool Box bar (1961) which, as a symbol of masculine mutiny, fortified the gay resolve to found the Tavern Guild (1962) to protect gay citizens from harassment by the San Francisco Police Department.
Tony Tavarossi said later that the gay bar scene in 1966 was a riot led by a mixed crowd of Levis-wearing leathermen, straight-trade hustlers (many of them ex-Gls from World War II and Korea), and tough drag queens.
He died of AIDS ]u1y 12, 1981, two days after the epic fire that destroyed the Barracks baths on Folsom Street, putting an end to the turbulent 1970s.

1939 – James Booker was a New Orleans rhythm and blues keyboardist born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. Booker's unique style combined rhythm and blues with jazz standards. Musician Dr. John described Booker as "the best black, gay, one-eyed junkie piano genius New Orleans has ever produced." Flamboyant in personality, he was known as "the Black Liberace."
Booker was the son and grandson of Baptist ministers, both of whom played the piano. He spent most of his childhood on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where his father was a church pastor. Booker received a saxophone as a gift from his mother, but he was more interested in the keyboard. He played the organ in his father's churches.
After returning to New Orleans in his early adolescence, Booker attended the Xavier Academy Preparatory School. He learned some elements of his keyboard style from Tuts Washington and Edward Frank. Booker was highly skilled in classical music and played music by Bach and Chopin, among other composers. He also mastered and memorized solos by Erroll Garner and Liberace. His performances combined elements of stride, blues, gospel and Latin piano styles.
Booker made his recording debut in 1954 on the Imperial Records label, with "Doin' the Hambone" and "Thinkin' 'Bout My Baby", produced by Dave Bartholomew. This led to some session work with Fats Domino, Smiley Lewis, and Lloyd Price.
In 1958, Arthur Rubinstein performed a concert in New Orleans. Afterwards, eighteen-year-old Booker was introduced to the concert pianist and played several tunes for him. Rubinstein was astonished, saying "I could never play that ... never at that tempo" During this period, Booker also became known for his flamboyant personality among his peers.
After recording a few other singles, he enrolled as an undergraduate in Southern University's music department. In 1960, Booker's "Gonzo" reached number 43 on the United States (U.S.) record chart of Billboard magazine and number 3 on the R&B record chart. Following "Gonzo", Booker released some moderately successful singles. In the 1960s, he started using illicit drugs, and in 1970 served a brief sentence in Angola Prison for drug possession. At the time, Professor Longhair and Ray Charles were among his important musical influences.
As Booker became more familiar to law enforcement in New Orleans due to his illicit drug use, he formed a relationship with District Attorney Harry Connick Sr., who was occasionally Booker's legal counsel. Connick would discuss law with Booker during his visits to the Connick home and made an arrangement with the musician whereby a prison sentence would be nullified in exchange for piano lessons for Connick Sr.'s son Harry Connick Jr.Booker recorded a number of albums while touring Europe in 1977, including New Orleans Piano Wizard: Live!, which was recorded at his performance at the "Boogie Woogie and Ragtime Piano Contest" in Zurich, Switzerland – the album won the Grand Prix du Disque. He also played at the Nice and Montreux Jazz Festivals in 1978 and recorded a session for the BBC during this time. Fourteen years later, a recording entitled Let's Make A Better World! –made in Leipzig during this period– became the last record to be produced in the former East Germany.
In a 2013 interview, filmmaker Lily Keber, who directed a documentary on Booker, provided her perspective on Booker's warm reception in European nations such as Germany and France:
Well, the racism wasn't there, the homophobia wasn't there –as much. Even the drug use was a little more tolerated. But really I think that Booker felt he was being taken seriously in Europe, and it made him think of himself differently and improved the quality of his music. He needed the energy of the audience to feed off.
Booker died aged 43 on November 8, 1983, while seated in a wheelchair in the emergency room at New Orleans' Charity Hospital, waiting to receive medical attention. The cause of death, as cited in the Orleans Parish Coroner's Death Certificate, was renal failure related to chronic abuse of heroin and alcohol.

Cashman with Paul Cottingham
1950 – Michael Cashman, born in London, is a British former actor, and a Labour politician. He has been a Member of the European Parliament for the West Midlands constituency since 1999.
As a child actor he was cast in the role of Oliver Twist in the original run of Lionel Bart's musical Oliver!, but he is possibly best known for his role as Colin Russell in BBC TV's EastEnders - a character remembered for being a participant in the first gay kiss in a British soap opera. He also appeared in the ITV drama serial The Sandbaggers and the Doctor Who story "Time-Flight".
Cashman was a founder of Stonewall, an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society and a Patron of The Food Chain, a London-based HIV charity.He is a trenchant critic of discrimination against minorities within the European Union. He is leading a cross-party coalition to tackle the rise in homophobia throughout Europe. He has in the past supported the gay pride march in Warsaw, which he attended. He is also the President of the European Parliament's Intergroup on gay and lesbian issues.
In 2007 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Staffordshire for his human rights work.
In line with current guidelines the European Parliament paid his domestic partner, Paul Cottingham, £30,000 per annum for his work as Cashman's "Accounts Manager, Personnel Manager and Payroll Administrator". Cashman registered a civil partnership with Paul Cottingham, his partner for 31 years, on 11 March 2006.
In March 2011 Cottingham was diagnosed with a very rare cancer, angiosarcoma, and he died on 23 October 2014 in the Royal Marsden Hospital, London. He was cremated in a humanist service at the City of London Cemetery on 7 November 2014.
Cashman was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for public and political service.
On 23 September 2014 he was created a Life Peer taking the title Baron Cashman, of Limehouse in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is also his birthplace.

1959 – Gregg Araki is an American independent filmmaker. He is involved in New Queer Cinema.
Araki made his directorial debut in 1987 with Three Bewildered People in the Night. With a budget of only $5,000 and using a stationary camera, he told the story of a romance between a video artist, her sweet-heart and her gay friend.
Two years later, Araki made a name for himself on the festival circuit with The Long Weekend (O' Despair). Produced, directed, written, photographed and edited by Araki (for his own Desperate Pictures Company), this very small-scale Big Chill derivation involved a group of recent college graduates brooding over their futures during one woozy, boozy evening.
He followed this up in 1992 with The Living End, a road movie about two HIV-positive men whose paths cross one fateful day and the tumultuous relationship which ensues. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, the film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize.
Araki's next three films comprised his "Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy."
Totally Fucked Up (1993) (Totally F***ed Up in publicity) chronicled the dysfunctional lives of six gay adolescent people who have formed a family unit and struggle to get along with each other and with life in the face of various major obstacles.
The Doom Generation (1995) was a black comedy brimming with graphic violence, cultural symbolism and relentless eroticism. While largely trashed by critics, the piece won a measure of respect in a number of circles and is available on DVD and VHS in both rated and unrated versions due to several sex scenes as well as the violent climax.
Araki's next venture was the ill-fated MTV series This Is How the World Ends (2000), which was meant to have a budget of $1.5 million. The network only gave him $700,000 and hoped to find partners to finance the difference. Araki offered to make the pilot episode for $700,000, and MTV took him up on it, but after the pilot was shot it was not picked up for broadcast.
Nowhere (1997) was described by its director as "A Beverly Hills, 90210 episode on acid". It centered around a group of bored, alienated adolescent people in Los Angeles during a typical day of kinky sex, drugs, and the requisite wild party.
Following a short hiatus, Araki returned with the critically acclaimed Mysterious Skin (2004) based on a novel by Scott Heim, which tells the story of a teenage hustler and a withdrawn young man obsessed with alien abductions, and how they both deal with the sexual abuse they suffered from their Little League coach when they were children.
Araki self-identified as gay until 1997, when he entered a relationship with actress Kathleen Robertson, whom he directed in Nowhere. The relationship ended in 1999. Araki has since mainly dated men. He now identifies as bisexual.

1968 – Fabrice Neaud, born in La Rochelle, France, is a French comics artist. He got his baccalaureate in literature (option graphic arts) in 1986. He studied philosophy during two years. Then he entered an art school and studied there four years. In 1991 he quit the school. For four years he had been looking for a job, making a living on various works.
He is a co-founder of the Ego comme X association. In 1994, the first number of the Ego comme X magazine was released. In it, Fabrice Neaud published his first works. It was the beginning of his Journal (which is a diary in comics), an ambitious autobiographical project. The first volume of the Journal was released in 1996. It got a prize Alph'art (best work by a young artist) in Angoulême in 1997.
Tumblr media
From an entry in his Journal
Fabrice Neaud keeps on drawing his Journal. Three more volumes have been published between 1998 and 2002. He published also many short stories in Ego comme X, Bananas and other magazines. Some of his works have been translated into Italian and Spanish. A reviewer notes, "But Neaud isn't a simple diarist: he's also an artist concerned with various problems of our society, including homophobia and gay life in small towns." His works have been the subject of academic papers.

Not they tryna reenact KOSA… anyway yall, here’s why KOSA is bad!!
If you don’t already know, KOSA, or Kids Online Safety Act is a bill that was proposed to keep children safe on the internet. You might ask ‘why is this bill bad if it’s in favor of supporting the safety of children online’? Well, according to stopkosa.com, it puts pressure on platforms to add even MORE filters on anything they think is inappropriate for children. This is especially harmful for LBGTQIA+ youth because the knowledge about this topic would be censored, as well as knowledge on suicide prevention and LGBTQIA+ support groups. Do you see how this an issue? For those children who are wanting to learn more about these topics they’d be turned away because of this bill. It would also be likely that it’ll allow the shutdown of websites that allow them to learn about race, sexuality and gender.
This bill would also add more internet surveillance for all users across all social media platforms. It would expand the use of age verification and parental monitoring controls. These things in itself are already very invasive, but doesn’t take into consideration the children who live in unsafe environments where they are domestically abused and/or are trying to escape these situations. To add my two cents onto this, I strongly believe that the KOSA bill is an unnecessary violation of our first amendment rights (if you’re American), and doesn’t really make the internet any more safer. It actually makes it more unusable for youth. Hypothetically, if this bill were to be passed, then this would make social media unusable for literally anybody. To censor content from the youth about wanting to learn about their identity is extremely harmful. Blocking them from accessing resources that may prove as helpful in their scenarios is outlandish and unneeded. We try to shelter our youth so much to the point where we try to boil them down to only being with their parents want them to be and also not being able to let them learn and explore about other things that they may want to identify themselves with. This is very harmful.
This is a list of companies who are saying no to KOSA ..

• WA People’s Privacy
• Woodhull Freedom Foundation
There is something you can do to stop the KOSA bill from being passed! On the website I linked, there is a petition. All you have to do is fill out the information and it’ll send off an email for you. The email reads as follows:
I’m writing to urge you to reject the Kids Online Safety Act, a misguided bill that would put vulnerable young people at risk. KOSA would fail to address the root issues related to kid’s safety online. Instead, it would endanger some of the most vulnerable people in our society while undermining human rights and children’s privacy. The bill would result in widespread internet censorship by pressuring platforms to use incredibly broad “content filters” and giving state Attorneys General the power to decide what content kids should and shouldn’t have access to online. This power could be abused in a number of ways and be politicized to censor information and resources. KOSA would also likely lead to the greater surveillance of children online by requiring platforms to gather data to verify user identity. There is a way to protect kids and all people online from egregious data abuse and harmful content targeting: passing a strong Federal data privacy law that prevents tech companies from collecting so much sensitive data about all of us in the first place, and gives individuals the ability to sue companies that misuse their data. KOSA, although well-meaning, must not move forward. Please protect privacy and stop the spread of censorship online by opposing KOSA.
The website also gives you like a format of what you can say if you chose to call your representatives. If after reading this post, you feel inclined to do something then I would say just go ahead and do it. My first time learning about KOSA was today immediately after seeing the post I felt inclined to send my lawmakers an email. Please try to help when you can and this will only take a few minutes so I think this is something that you can consider. This post is getting a little long now, so I’ll stop here. There are more resources online if you would like to learn more about the cons of this KOSA bill, thank you for reading.

society of HAIQIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
date: november 11, 2024
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The living Society of Haiqin
Society
Haiqin's society is deeply rooted in values of equality, harmony, and advancement. The structure is fluid, offering pathways for social mobility based on merit, contributions, and education, while ensuring a balance between progress and tradition.
Class Structure
Fluid Class System:
Haiqin's class system isn't rigidly defined, but it does show distinctions based on factors like wealth, education, and social contribution. Wealthy families and aristocracy still hold sway in certain sectors, yet individuals can rise through merit-based achievements such as education or societal contributions. The emphasis on meritocracy encourages innovation and intellectual growth, particularly among the younger generation.
Economic Disparities:
While there is no formal caste system, the wealth gap is significant between urban and rural areas. Urban centers, such as Haiqin's capital, offer advanced opportunities in education, business, and employment. In contrast, rural areas face challenges like limited access to infrastructure, resources, and services. This disparity can affect social mobility and quality of life but is gradually addressed through governmental initiatives aimed at providing better resources to the rural populace.
I don't think I need to address this again.
Education
Haiqin places a high value on education, seeing it as key to societal progress. The education system is structured to produce not only skilled professionals but also well-rounded individuals who understand their responsibility to society.
Structure and Values:
Education is mandatory, with primary and secondary education focusing on foundational knowledge and specialized skills. Primary education includes basic literacy, mathematics, and physical education, while secondary education has tracks for those pursuing higher education or vocational training. The curriculum is rich in philosophy, environmental studies, and traditional arts, emphasizing both critical thinking and creativity. STEM fields are equally prioritized for fostering innovation, alongside values such as empathy, responsibility, and sustainability.
Elite Institutions and Accessibility:
While there are prestigious "Academies of Excellence" that provide advanced networking and training opportunities, Haiqin has also made great strides in making education accessible to people from lower-income backgrounds. Scholarships are available for bright students, regardless of their social class, creating pathways for upward mobility. The nation believes that intellectual development should be available to all its citizens, particularly as it serves as the backbone of Haiqin's cultural and technological advancement.
Healthcare
Universal Healthcare:
Haiqin offers universal healthcare to all its citizens, ensuring that access to medical care is not restricted by economic status. The healthcare system focuses on preventive measures, public health initiatives, and widespread community health education. This reflects Haiqin's belief that a healthy society is a productive society.
Access and Quality:
Healthcare facilities in urban areas tend to be more advanced, offering cutting-edge technology and specialized treatments. The government is aware of disparities between urban and rural regions, and efforts are continually made to improve rural healthcare access. Telemedicine, mobile clinics, and traveling medical professionals are common ways to extend healthcare services to underserved populations.
Private Healthcare Options:
For those who can afford it, private healthcare offers faster services and access to specialized medical treatment. While these private institutions thrive, they are regulated to ensure that they do not create a stark divide in access to care.
Gender Roles
Haiqin is known for its progressive views on gender and sexuality, where individuals have the freedom to define their identities beyond traditional roles. Historically, women in Haiqin have held leadership roles in politics, military, and business.
Traditional and Fluid Roles:
Though traditional gender roles still exist, the country fosters a society that values fluidity, particularly regarding women’s roles. Women hold prominent positions, not only in domestic affairs but also in governance, the military, and other key areas. The presence of women in positions of power, such as Sloane Tuoapizan, has solidified Haiqin as an example of progressive gender equality.
Sexuality and Gender Identity:
Haiqin embraces a wide spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations. Public campaigns are regularly conducted to promote respect and understanding for diverse identities, and societal norms increasingly reflect acceptance. Laws are in place to protect against discrimination, and advocacy groups work actively to educate the public on matters related to gender and sexuality.
Crime and Punishment
Justice System:
Haiqin has a justice system that balances punishment with rehabilitation. Minor crimes tend to result in fines or community service, while rehabilitation programs aim to reintegrate offenders into society. The justice system places emphasis on restorative justice, where the goal is to repair harm rather than merely punish.
Common Crimes:
Petty theft and property crimes are fairly common in Haiqin, often arising from economic disparities. Environmental violations, such as illegal logging or pollution, are harshly penalized given the nation’s commitment to environmental preservation. With the rise of technology, cybercrimes such as hacking and data theft are becoming more frequent, prompting new legislation and surveillance systems to combat these issues.
Punishments and Crimes
Common Crimes
Property Crimes: (Theft and Burglary)
Punishments:For theft or burglary, the justice system emphasizes rehabilitation over punishment. Common punishments include fines, community service, and restorative justice programs where offenders work directly with victims to make amends. For repeat offenders or more serious thefts, prison sentences may be imposed. In certain cases, a restorative justice circle is held, where both offender and victim meet with community members to discuss the impact and agree on steps to repair harm.
Environmental Violations:
Punishments:Environmental violations, such as illegal dumping or deforestation, are treated seriously due to Haiqin's commitment to sustainability. Offenders may face hefty fines, along with the requirement to participate in environmental restoration projects. In severe cases, the offender may be subjected to community labor to repair environmental damage, including tree planting or soil regeneration efforts. Jail time can be imposed for repeated or severe offenses that cause significant environmental harm.
Cybercrimes (Information Theft, Hacking, etc.)
Punishments: Cybercrimes, such as hacking, information theft, or unauthorized surveillance, are growing in Haiqin with the rise of technology. Punishments typically involve heavy fines and mandatory cybersecurity education programs to prevent future offenses. In cases of severe data breaches or espionage, offenders may be incarcerated for a set period and monitored after release. For crimes involving the exposure of state secrets, there may be higher penalties, including exile or longer prison terms, depending on the level of harm caused.
Treason and Severe Crimes
Treason
Punishments: Acts of treason or severe offenses against the state, such as espionage, betrayal, or assassination attempts on high-ranking officials, are considered the highest form of crime. Punishments for treason are harsh and often irreversible. The primary punishment is exile, where the offender is stripped of their citizenship and banished to a remote, uninhabited area with minimal resources, ensuring they cannot return. Exiled individuals may live out their lives in isolation or serve as labor for state projects, depending on the severity of their crime. In certain extreme cases, execution is reserved for the most egregious violations, such as betrayal of the nation leading to widespread harm.
Terrorism
Punishments: Terrorism, defined as the use of violence or threats to destabilize the government or society, is considered one of the gravest crimes. The punishment for terrorism typically includes execution or life imprisonment if the offender has been involved in the planning or execution of such acts. The death penalty is applied for acts that cause significant loss of life or for individuals who lead terrorist organizations. Public executions serve as a deterrent to others and are meant to signal the government’s commitment to protecting its citizens.
Multiple Murders
Punishments: For individuals convicted of serial killings or multiple murders, the punishment is typically execution. Execution is publicized to reinforce the society’s stance against such violence. In some cases, if the individual has shown remorse or participated in rehabilitation efforts, the sentence may be reduced to life imprisonment with a focus on psychological evaluation and therapy to address underlying issues.
Minor Crimes and Rehabilitation
Minor Offenses (Petty Theft, Vandalism, etc.)
Punishments:For less severe crimes such as petty theft, vandalism, or minor public disturbances, fines and community service are the primary forms of punishment. Offenders may be required to pay restitution to victims or contribute to local community projects, such as cleaning public spaces, mentoring younger individuals, or supporting charitable causes. The goal is to reintegrate the offender back into society while promoting personal growth.
Substance Abuse and Addiction Crimes
Punishments: Haiqin adopts a rehabilitative approach for crimes related to substance abuse, treating the root cause of addiction rather than focusing solely on punitive measures. Individuals arrested for substance abuse-related crimes are typically sentenced to rehabilitation programs and mandatory counseling. Repeat offenders may face longer-term rehabilitation efforts and be monitored in halfway houses or therapeutic communities.
scripted drugs aren't a thing, minus tobacco and p0t, but still. Good to have nonetheless.
Prison System and Rehabilitation
Prison:
Crimes: Serious theft, fraud, assault, drug trafficking, and large-scale property damage, murder, high cybercrimes
Punishments:Prison sentences are primarily reserved for serious crimes, including theft, violent offenses, and corruption. The prison system is designed not only to punish but to rehabilitate. Inmates are encouraged to engage in educational programs, where they can earn diplomas or certifications in vocational skills such as carpentry, plumbing, or computer science. Work programs within the prison help offenders develop a strong work ethic and prepare them for reintegration into society. Psychological counseling is often provided to address emotional and behavioral issues. Violent offenders or those with histories of aggression may be placed in higher-security prisons where rehabilitation efforts are more intensive, including anger management programs.
Restorative Justice Programs:
Crimes: Small thefts, vandalism, minor corruption, or small-scale financial crimes.
Punishments: Restorative justice programs are a key feature of Haiqin’s legal system, especially for minor offenses. These programs encourage offenders to make amends with victims through actions such as community service, financial restitution, and apology letters. Offenders may also be required to participate in mediation sessions with victims and community leaders to discuss the impact of their actions and develop a mutual understanding. These programs focus on healing the community and restoring relationships rather than solely punishing the offender.
Execution
Crimes: Terrorism, mass murder, severe cases of treason.
Public Execution:
Punishments:Public executions are reserved for crimes of the highest magnitude, such as terrorism, mass murder, or treason. The process is highly ritualized, and the goal is to deter future crimes by demonstrating the severe consequences of such actions. The execution is broadcasted to the public as a solemn reminder of the state's authority and commitment to justice. The use of public executions, however, is carefully controlled to avoid the potential for inciting unrest.
Private Execution:
Punishments:For cases where the crime is extremely heinous but does not warrant a public display, a private execution may be carried out. The offender is executed in a closed ceremony, and the details are not released to the public. This is typically reserved for individuals who have committed crimes that disrupt societal stability in profound ways.
Exile as Punishment:
Crimes: High treason, espionage, and other crimes that threaten national security but may not warrant execution.
Punishments: Exile is one of the most severe forms of punishment in Haiqin, often used for high treason or crimes that involve a severe betrayal of the nation. Offenders are stripped of all legal rights and removed from society, left to survive in remote regions with minimal support. Exile can be a form of both punishment and protection, as it removes dangerous individuals from society without resorting to execution. Exiled individuals may be forced to live in harsh conditions, working on public projects or subsisting in isolation.
General Principles
Rehabilitation over Retribution:
The justice system is more focused on rehabilitating offenders than punishing them. The idea is to correct behavior, address underlying causes, and reintegrate the offender into society as a productive member.
Restorative Justice:
Encouraging offenders to take responsibility for their actions and make amends, either through financial restitution or community service, is a central tenet of Haiqin's legal philosophy.
Public Trials:
Many trials, especially those involving high-profile crimes, are public affairs, with outcomes broadcasted as part of the state’s commitment to transparency and justice.
Women in Power
Haiqin is one of the few societies where women have always played significant roles in leadership, military, and other vital sectors, inspired by both historical figures and contemporary leaders.
Political
Political Leadership:
Women are actively involved in politics, holding high-ranking positions in the government, including in the Council of Ministers and other influential departments. This reflects Haiqin's commitment to gender equality and the belief that leadership should be based on skill, wisdom, and integrity rather than gender.
Military
Military Leadership:
Haiqin’s military is especially notable for the high number of women in combat roles. Women have proven themselves to be highly skilled in the military, particularly within elite units such as sniper squads. These women are known for their precision, strategic thinking, and leadership qualities. Women in Haiqin’s military and intelligence sectors are often seen as role models and are celebrated for their service to the nation.
Specialized Units:
Haiqin’s sniper units are world-renowned, with female snipers often showing exceptional precision and intelligence in operations. These units are considered among the elite in the military, admired for their tactical excellence.
Leadership and Equality:
Women in Haiqin’s military are promoted to high-ranking positions, breaking down traditional gender barriers in armed forces. Female generals and commanders play an essential role in the leadership and direction of the armed forces.
Military
Haiqin’s military is designed for defense, peacekeeping, and protection rather than conquest. It is viewed as a pillar of national stability and sovereignty.
Strategic Defense and Peacekeeping
Purpose and Doctrine:
The military exists not for expansion but for the defense of the nation’s sovereignty and to maintain the delicate balance of peace within Haiqin's borders. They are trained to engage in peacekeeping missions, humanitarian operations, and defensive warfare. While the military can deploy offensive tactics if necessary, its overarching goal is to preserve the nation's culture, values, and environmental harmony.
Honor and Discipline
Military Code:
Honor plays a central role in Haiqin's military training. Soldiers are taught to uphold the values of integrity, honor, and respect for life. The aim is to ensure the minimum impact on civilians and the environment during conflicts. The military does not engage in reckless warfare; instead, it favors precision strikes and minimizes collateral damage.
Training Programs:
Military personnel undergo rigorous physical and mental training, focusing on not just combat but also wisdom, patience, and strategic planning. Soldiers are trained in both conventional and unconventional tactics, with a focus on mental discipline, meditation, and stress management techniques.
Recruitment and Veterans
Recruitment:
Military service is a respected path, and individuals can volunteer for enlistment at age 19 after completing high school. Specialized positions, such as sniper units, require additional training and skills, making them highly competitive. Many young people choose military service for its prestigious status and benefits, including scholarships and job opportunities post-service.
Veterans:
Veterans are well-respected in Haiqin, with many receiving honors and leadership positions within civilian life due to their discipline, skills, and experience. The nation’s commitment to supporting veterans includes offering healthcare, housing assistance, educational subsidies, and job placement programs to ensure a smooth transition to civilian life.
Mental Health Support:
Understanding the psychological toll of military service, Haiqin has established mental health support systems for veterans. Counseling services, support groups, and wellness programs are available to help veterans adjust and maintain mental well-being after service.

9,000-year-old rock art discovered among dinosaur footprints in Brazil
Tumblr media
As far back as 9,400 years ago, hunter-gatherers in what is now Brazil created dozens of stunning rock-art designs next to the fossilized footprints of dinosaurs, a new study finds.
Researchers described the petroglyphs and dinosaur tracks, which date to the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago), in a study published March 19 in the journal Scientific Reports. They think ancient humans purposefully put the rock art next to the dinosaurs' prints, as many of the petroglyphs are a mere 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) from the fossilized marks and some of the glyphs appear to be illustrations of the prints.
"The individuals who crafted the petroglyphs were acutely aware of the footprints, likely selecting the location precisely because of them," study first author Leonardo Troiano, an archaeologist from Brazil's National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage, told Live Science "It would have been impossible to overlook their presence."
The archaeological site, known as Serrote do Letreiro (Portuguese for "Signpost Hill"), is about 7 miles (11 kilometers) from the urban center of Sousa municipality in the northeastern state of Paraíba. It's close to the Valley of the Dinosaurs, a conservation area renowned for its hundreds of fossilized dinosaur footprints.

Naples a l'époque de Napoléon : Rebell et la lumières du golfe
Naples in the time of Napoleon. Rebell and the light of the Gulf
Naples in the time of Napoleon. Rebell and the light of the Gulf restores the atmosphere and image of the city in the years from 1808 to 1815, when Joachim Murat and his consort Caroline Bonaparte, the youngest of Napoleon's three sisters, were the much-loved rulers of Naples. This was a period of progress and renewed splendour for the kingdom, marked by extraordinary social, economic and urban transformations and particular attention towards the territory. The culture of the Murats and their modern taste acquired in Paris gave the arts a considerable boost, dividing their time between the official royal palaces of Naples and Caserta and their favourite private residence in Portici.
Patrons of the great portrait painters, Joachim and especially Caroline showed a particular sensitivity for veduta and landscape painting, calling French masters in the genre to their court, Special protection was reserved for the Viennese artist Joseph Rebell, who, along with other specialists in veduta painting, features prominently in this exhibition. Rebell spent several periods of time in Italy between 1812 and 1824, particularly in Naples.
Views of the city, its gulf and magnificent surroundings were his favourite subjects, even after leaving Naples in 1815, fuelling in Europe the myth of the unique nature of this enchanted land celebrated by the painters of the Grand Tour. His training and success are evoked and set against the backdrop of the cosmopolitan Neapolitan scene between the end of the 18th century and the second decade of the 19th century, marked by the presence of numerous travellers and landscape painters who profoundly renewed the vision of reality.
The Murat family itself is also a protagonist of the exhibition, with the presence of numerous portraits, paintings and sculptures bearing witness to the important role it played at that time.
The works are on loan from prestigious organisations, including the Belvedere of Vienna, partner of the exhibition, other major Austrian museum, such as the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and the Austrian National Library, and French museums such as the Château of Fontainebleau and Versailles.
The exhibition is curated by Sabine Grabner, Luisa Martorelli, Fernando Mazzocca and Gennaro Toscano, with the collaboration of the Institut français in Naples.
Dates: November 23 2023 - April 7 2024

Paint it Blue: Counter Culture, Politics, Human Rights, and 4B.
As each day passes I am reminded how heavily my fellow Americans were hit when Trump -- unfortunately -- won the presidency. And as these days passed I began to do what I always do: Overthink and Strategize.
In the end I figured out what I personally view as the only way forward using what I have observed from the reactions from others and combining them to make a heavy consistent shove towards progress if and only if we keep this flame alive.
But to start this we need to start with a few definitions and go from there. If you wish to find a way to fight back, you need to commit to this 200% and do NOT yield. I don't care how red your state is. Fight and don't stop fighting.
Some of us can commit more than others in different ways but once you pick a path you are going to have to keep it up until the town/city/village you're in is painted blue and STAYS blue.
For the first definition we take a look at:
Protest Art:
Protest Art is a form of protest and saying “no” in an extremely different way. Specifically expressing it through an art form.
Majority of the time it is through painting.
If you've made paintings in protest against Israel’s attacks towards Palestine, you've made Protest Art. Through Protest Art one can express discontent without committing violence.
If you want to know more, check out this video: https://youtu.be/1_iqS_disW0?feature=shared
However we need to remember that Protest Art is different from Propaganda Art.
Propaganda Art:
Propaganda Art is exactly what it sounds like. Propaganda that is fed to the masses to get them in line to the ideals of the government and even war sentiments. We can even see this in real time through how the Republican Party uses AI Image Generators to create pro-MAGA images.
If you want a historic look at Propaganda Art, this poster shop has a LOT of them: https://vintagraph.com/collections/propaganda-posters
My personal favorites are the classic Rosie Riveter and Jenny on the Job. They're just classic propaganda styles.
However Propaganda can have SINISTER consequences, such as seen in this video: https://youtu.be/ip4dYcUDGFE?si=3qPKv_QP9pDNVEB-
Racist Propaganda caused increased racism, lynching, beatings and brutality. Eventually it led to the NEAR MURDER of a 13 year old child for the murder of two white people who were actually murdered by their own family member. She was supposed to spend the rest of her life in a prison.
Enka:
Enka is a genre of music from Japan that came around during the silencing of political speeches and protests. As a way to get around this politicians and protestors created a somber new genre to fight for a new wave of progress.
To give you an example here is an excerpt from Enka Music: From Political Protest to Cultural Tradition – on Unseen-Japan:
1868 saw witness to the overthrow of the shogunate and the establishment of the Meiji government. Yet despite its modern undertones, the new government was still led by powerful samurai from the Satsuma and Choshu domains. Not even five years after the Meiji Restoration, whispers of unrest eventually culminated in the formation of the Freedom and Civil Rights Movement (自由民権運動; Jiyū minken undō), or Jiyūto for short (自由党).
Spearheaded by disgruntled farmers, factory workers, and urban intellectuals, the movement demanded a more democratic approach to how the government was run. Their list of demands included a reduction in land taxes, an amendment to the numerous Unequal Treaties (不平等条; Fubyōdō jō) brooked between Japan and various Western countries, institution of a national assembly, and a constitution that protected basic civil rights.
At the time, the Meiji government had banned dissident speeches and protests about the new regime. So the Jiyuto had to get creative in order to make their voices heard. Rather than use force, they found a roundabout way to make political speeches without breaking the ban: singing.
Enter Soeda Azenbo (添田唖蝉坊). Rising from the depths of day laborer life to become one of the most well-known ballad composers, he wrote songs about the government and society couched in satire and humor. These political activist songs merited their own sub-genre: soshi enka (壮士演歌). His memoir A Life Adrift (流生記; Ryusei-ki) remains one of the most thorough and insightful accounts of life for a prewar enka singer.
If you want a brief explanation of Enka, it is touched upon briefly here by Gaijin Goomba in his video about Marie from Splatoon: https://youtu.be/PE6sJLHLXFw?si=t7bVBm3bBH7PATsn
4B:
"Bi" is a shorthand for the word "no" in Korean  (Korean: 비; Hanja: 非) and there are 4 “nos” that this particular movement in Korea, and these now are:
No sex with men. (Korean: 비섹스; RR: bisekseu)
No giving birth. (비출산; bichulsan)
No dating men. (비연애; biyeonae)
No marriage with men. (비혼; bihon)
This particular feminist movement is a way to take control of one's own body. And this movement has started to be adopted by American women, some even calling it the “Boy Sober” movement. This has become extremely popular in the West due to women seeing that their husbands/boyfriends had voted for Trump. They had enough of the sexism and decided that they must resort to extreme measures and be done with men altogether.
Women have realized that it's impossible to change men's minds by simply talking things out or showing them data or even showing how much danger women are in when it comes to being around men in general. Men have shown that they have no morals when it comes to how to treat women – men even going as far as telling every woman they come across “Your body, my choice!” which is just a clear rape threat.
The popularity of 4B is only rising and men are trying to pretend that it isn't freaking them out, but it clearly is. Men have yet to realize that they are becoming less and less desirable the further they go down with their bullshit.
Romanticism Writing:
Romanticism was a political era of writing. Think of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Many of them have written against child labor such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem “The Cry of the Children”. Romanticism was focused on nature, liberty, and individualism. It may sound rather nonsensical but these writings have become pieces of history that cannot be erased and were inspirational to many during their time.
—-------
Okay so now that we got all of this out of the way. Let's get to the plan itself.
If you were able to pick it up while reading you might be thinking I am fucking crazy and maybe I am, but let's face the facts, Republicans and centrists and Non-Voters are all extremely Low Information. When they vote they vote without either doing their research or learning anything from their previous vote. They tend to believe whatever they read on Facebook or Twitter, or will go based on vibes and vibes alone. Or they will just believe whatever celebrity they follow (Andrew Tate, Fresh and Fit, Joe Rogan, etc.) and will leave it at that.
Those who aren't online like that they will only follow things IRL. Talk with friends and family, maybe fuck around on Facebook and that's it. They will not interact with politics outside of Voting Season and even then they will not look up anything. They will believe whatever propaganda happens to be on the billboard not too far from their local Walmart.
So what am I proposing? We are going to have to pull out the chalk, spray paint, printers, tape, and more.
We are gonna have to start doing graffiti. We need to tag EVERYTHING WE CAN in protest. We need to pull a Jinx/Jinxer from Arcane in the sense that we need to tag everything we can.
If you don't want to get in trouble, check if there are areas that are free to tag and you won't get in trouble, or just use a canvas and paint traditionally. Or even just get as much printer ink as you can to print as many posters as you can.
Make zines and leave them around at your local cafés, bookstores, libraries, restaurants, churches ESPECIALLY (because fuck Republicans and their shitty cults) or wherever you think will be a good place. Throw blue smoke bombs at your local churches.
It hurts no one, and it will all send a message.
We are angry.
We are angry that the Separation of Church and State has been trampled over and these churches have had the fucking audacity to try to take everyone's rights away. They have disrespected the Constitution and we will not take it lying down.
We are angry that Republicans are letting a literal RAPIST, TRAITOR and a CONVICTED FELON run the country for a SECOND FUCKING TIME.
We are angry that Republicans are disrespecting and betraying our allies.
In my hometown there is a church that has a FUCK TON of Republican Anti-Choice propaganda plastered all over the outside of their building.
We cannot be silent. We cannot stop speaking out. You cannot get tired of it. We need to start the pressure on day one of the new year or hell even now. And then NOT STOP until the Republican Party cuts their bullshit PERMANENTLY.
So let's get the meis en plas.
A lot of us on the Left and Democrat Party are environmentally conscious so I did my best to find as many biodegradable products that I could:
Spray paint.
Chalk.
Smoke bombs.
Ecofriendly art supplies in general: [1] [2] [3] [4]
To avoid your face being seen and thus being caught I highly suggest you invest in getting a mask especially a gas mask if you are using spray paint. I don't want anyone getting sick.
To paint the town blue our primary color for our protest art should be as bright of a blue as we can get. However, that doesn't mean we can't use all the colors.
Using “Traditional” art is a way to get your town talking and get more eyes on it. One person sees it and they take pictures and then they spread it around Facebook and Instagram and whatever other platforms your town uses the most.
I got this idea from the music video “Paint the Town Blue” in Arcane. To silently protest in the show, the people of Zaun started dying some if not all of their hair blue, started using chalk to deface Piltover Propaganda, and even dressing like Jinx. And the way they act out is also by making art.
I use this as an example of what we as people can do to peacefully protest without having to organize outside of your local town hall and hold up signs only for Trump to start having the military gun us all down. He cannot and will not look good to his worshipers if he starts shooting people down for simply dying their hair or making art. He will try to demonize everyone for it, that's a fact, but he will not be able to turn your entire home town against you when there is no actual physical damage towards ANYTHING. The most they will be able to do is that they will have to do is wash your art away but it will start to be spread online as well.
But if you don't want that to happen, painting on an actual canvas and selling it is another thing you can do. You might face harassment depending on what your artwork looks like and says, but you cannot back down. Never back down.
Make sure to wear masks. Be them the N95 masks, or something else.
If you are a woman, invest in a taser, and getting your tubes tied. Don't date, don't have kids if you happen to be single and/or not have kids. We CANNOT risk literal fucking death for a relationship and sex. It's not worth it. However, when it comes to Republican Women they will die because of their insurance that the most important role they can ever have is to be a mother. They will never value their lives outside of that until they have that "oh it's only less than a percent" moment when they have the ectopic pregnancy or are raped. As sad as it is they asked for this shit. They want to "clean the gene pool" they will have to realize it applies to them too.
If you can, update all of your vaccines before the end of the year. And remember to use masks if you notice anyone, even yourself are sick.
If you happen to want to tear shit up via the political system itself. Then the biggest and greatest way you can do so is by doing your research, look up “Run For Something” and sign up to jump into the political scene in your town, county, and state because you don't need to go to law school to become governor of your state or even the secretary of your state.
Yep, you can do that. Currently I am trying to figure out a way to get into my local school board for a community college I went to several years ago.
You don't need a lot of education for the VAST majority of positions in US politics. I'm not even making shit up here. The school board position I'm trying to get only has the requirement that I'm 21 years old or older. That's it.
Yeah, there is a limit as to how young you are for a position in your local politics. Check it out and see what you can do.
We need to tear shit up and not stop.
If you don't want to run for your local office or jump into such a job tear shit up artistically. If you don't have art skills, DON'T SHUT UP ABOUT POLITICS AND DONT DATE OR HAVE KIDS.
And if you just don't like Politics or are not interested in Politics I hate to be the one to inform you but, you may not be interested in politics but politics is VERY interested in you.
If you want to read more to get further into politics, read books that scare the ever loving shit out of Republicans, things like just about anything from Karl Marx.
Speaking of Karl Marx, the man himself predicted that one of the reasons why Capitalism will fail is because the wealth gap between Labor and Capitol will be too great and it will enrage the proletariats (the working class) and look at what happened recently. An Insurance CEO got killed by a proletariat who suffers from extreme pain.
We need to tear the rich down and keep scaring them. Karl Marx and Theodore Roosevelt predicted that the wealth gap and the 1% would be the downfall of democracy thanks to Capitalism, and they are right.
Personally I don't care how we tear them down. I just want to see them be forced to give us the money they have owed us.
Let's tear shit apart. Be it through peace or violence. Inside and out. I am not going to push this responsibility onto the next generation like the generation before me and the generation before that. We can't keep waiting for someone to do something.

1000-Year-Old Maya Tomb Unearthed in Mexico
Mexican archaeologists unearthed a richly adorned human body in a grave that could be more than 1,000 years old, in an area where workers were finishing construction on a major tourist rail project, the country's national antiquities institute INAH said on Monday.
The discovery took place this month during archaeological salvage work carried out in tandem with building a multibillion-dollar tourist train in southern Mexico designed in large part to draw tourists to southern Mexico's many ancient Maya sites, as well as nearby top beach resorts like Cancun and Tulum.
The rail project, known as the Maya Train, is a top economic development priority of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. It employs teams of relatively well-funded archaeologists who have rushed to complete excavations so the construction work will not be delayed. Digs elsewhere in the country have suffered budget cuts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The latest burial discovery took place during work on the construction of a hotel near the major Maya ruins of Palenque in Chiapas state, once home to one of the ancient civilization's largest and most sophisticated urban centers.
The skeletal remains were found some 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from the city's center, home to towering temples and a sprawling palace compound, in a stone box. They likely pertain to an elite resident of the city, known by the ancient Maya as Lakamha'.
The box also held three ceramic vessels, ear flares and a pair of greenstone beads.
INAH also noted that the individual was buried face up, his head facing north, adding that further testes are needed to determine the individual's exact age and other characteristics.
Scholars credit the ancient Maya with major human achievements in art, architecture, astronomy and writing.
Palenque, like dozens of other ancient cities clustered around southern Mexico and parts of Central America, thrived from around 300-900 AD.

Arthur Leipzig
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ar­thur Leipzig (1918-2014) was born in Brooklyn, New York. He began his career in photography when he enrolled in a class with the Photo League in 1941. Initially attracted by the school’s low darkroom fees, he was convinced that he wanted to seriously pursue documentary photography within two weeks of studying with its founder, Sid Grossman. Leipzig was an active member of the Photo League until 1949, learning from the work of Paul Strand and W. Eugene Smith. In 1942, he became a staff photographer for the newspaper PM, a liberal publication that used photography in abundance on its pages and allowed its photographers free reign. After the newspaper folded in 1946, Leipzig worked for a brief stint at International News Photos before beginning a successful career in freelance photojournalism, traveling on assignments around the world and contributing to such periodicals as The Sunday New York Times, This Week, Fortune, Look, LIFE, and Parade.
Leipzig shot thousands of rolls of film over five decades, producing beautifully constructed yet socially powerful photographs that take a sincere look at street life. Among the most memorable are photo essays on children’s street games, city workers atop the Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island, and V-Day. Leipzig candidly captured New York’s favorite personalities as Louis Prima, W.C. Handy and Mayor La Guardia. His assignment locales outside of New York City included Peru, Sudan, and the Sahara, as well as places closer to home like West Virginia, Kansas and Jones Beach.
Acclaimed as a sensitive and impassioned documentary photographer, Arthur Leipzig has always directed his camera toward the human condition and his deep love of people, shooting in a straightforward fashion, never forcing the moment but rather allowing a human story to transform simply and spontaneously. As a result, his photographs depict the human community with great intimacy and dynamic energy.
Leipzig has been included in many museum group exhibitions, most notably "New Faces" (1946) and "Family of Man" (1955) at the Museum of Modern Art, as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Photography as a Fine Art" (1961-62). His solo exhibitions include: "Growing Up in New York: Photographs by Arthur Leipzig" at the Museum of the City of New York (1996), and “Arthur Leipzig: A Tribute to Influence” at the Columbus Museum of Art (2005). His work is represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Jewish Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the International Center of Photography, and the Bibliothèque Nationale, among others.
Leipzig’s honors include the National Urban League Photography Award, several annual Art Directors Awards, and two Long Island University Trustees Awards for Scholarly Achievement. He was the recipient of the Lucie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Fine Art Photography in 2004. Additionally, Leipzig shared his talent and passion for photography by teaching at Long Island University for nearly three decades, where he became Professor Emeritus.

Geography of Insulamundus, and the DOMINION OF RADIANCE in between.
Québecistan is a constitutionally-bound Tsardom under (practically non-)casteist guild socialism. The Tsaroi (Seated in Moskreal Palace) is the De Jure Head of State, although in effect a puppet monarch since the Quiet Revolution has resulted in the delegation of virtually all national and urban executive/legislative authority to the byurger led Haute Guilde Assemblée, with the Spider Princes already ruling the judicial, the Ducs and Marquises indirectly managing the Muzhik's miry of the countryside and caves and the cloistered Cult Apidae, of course, is considered best left alone.
Suru, or Suruland, is a close ally to the above for an endless list of largely unimportant and uninteresting reasons. Vaguely economically-left wing, and a council republic. A miserable place with a very high quality of life and under constant threat by it's less-liked neighbour, the-
United-Albionsphäre is politically descended from the first kingdom on the Occident to develop the techniques of zubmarining and travel between that which inhabits the zee in no small splendour, a fact which they quickly exploited in establishing "fair" trade and political dominance.. The goverment would best be classified by I as a Semi-Constitutional Admirality Regime, headed by the Board of Admirality and the elective Lord High Admiral. The government is nominally democratic, with the dividing line between the civil administration and the military having blurred to the point where they have largely become one and the same. It'd be amiss for me to finish this section without bringing up the longstanding taboo of needless talk of the sun and moon - barring admirality matters of course.
Much can be said of the United States of Mézclarse. Mézclarsian Capitalism IS the blueprint from which all other free, capitalist nations model themselves on, and the republic is highly praised by liberal thinkers and highly scorned by those who've seen a betrayal from the ideals of their revolution, or those who under threat of mercenary gunfire in it's "partner-republics". In place of unprovable claims about Mézclareses world class educational institutions which would not involve ghouls, I will instead describe one of it's academic-led, corporate-funded innovations that does: You must know, first, that palpfolk have never invented transistors due to the high levels of ionizing radiation on Insulamundi interfering with the reliability of electronic digital logic. Instead, relying on vacuum tube technology. However, in the current decade, fluidic logic circuits have been developed in Mézclarse that are quickly supplanting their use - decreasing costs and increasing miniaturization - and which are patented for sole development by a Mézclarsian company, "ThinkTronic Data Systems" (an export monopoly respected by other nations only due to the quality of their (private) designs). These fluidic logic circuits, or FLCs, utilize fluid valves to redirect ectoplasm. There is no reason to use ectoplasm. With that said, it cannot be denied that the esoteric arts of Computor Sciences and Spectral Affairs have developed a rich culture of cross-collaboration - what with the supply of the green goo and the constant insistence by latter adherents that, yes, there are definetly ghouls inside.
I spiddly-spasmed my type-prongs, this, in a tenner-sawbuck shorter than it'd take you to have even half-have this amount of HYPHENS in your context-text.

Quebec nationalism - Wikipedia
Quebec nationalism or Québécois nationalism is a feeling and a political doctrine that prioritizes cultural belonging to, the defence of the interests of, and the recognition of the political legitimacy of the Québécois nation, particularly its French Canadian population. It has been a movement and a central issue in Quebec politics since the beginning of the 19th century. Québécois nationalism has seen several political, ideological and partisan variations and incarnations over the years.
Liberal Arts Definition: The modern use of the term liberal arts consists of four areas: the natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Academic areas that are associated with the term liberal arts include:
Life science (biology, neuroscience)
Physical science (physics, astronomy, physical geography, chemistry, earth science)
Formal science (logic, mathematics, statistics)
Humanities (philosophy, history, english literature, the arts)
Social science (economics, political science, human geography, linguistics, anthropology, psychology, sociology)
Congolese Diaspora (CONGOBÉ)
A diaspora (/daɪˈæspərə/ dy-ASP-ər-ə) is a population that is scattered across regions which are separate from its geographic place of origin.[3][4] The word is used in reference to people who identify with a specific geographic location, but currently reside elsewhere.[5][6][7]
Western culture is a broad term used to describe the social norms, belief systems, traditions, customs, values, and so forth that have their origin in Europe or are based on European culture. Some of the central characteristics of Western culture include: Democracy. Rational thinking. Individualism. (Montréal and Antwerp Fleur-de-lys Birthed Notre Dame Fleur-de-lys, New York Urban Ancestry, Notre Dame Fon Bembé with Ochosi as God, and Cancer Cusps with Notre Dame [Jupiter] Fleur-de-lys)
Cities built by the Fon include Abomey, the historical capital city of Dahomey on what was historically referred to by Europeans as the Slave Coast. These cities became major commercial centres for the slave trade. A significant portion of the sugar plantations in the French West Indies, particularly Haiti and Trinidad, were populated with slaves that came from the Slave Coast, through the lands of Ewe and Fon people.[8]
Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism,[a] originally published as Imperialism, the Newest Stage of Capitalism,[b][1] is a book written by Vladimir Lenin in 1916 and published in 1917. It describes the formation of oligopoly, by the interlacing of bank and industrial capital, in order to create a financial oligarchy, and explains the function of financial capital in generating profits from the exploitation colonialism inherent to imperialism, as the final stage of capitalism. The essay synthesises Lenin's developments of Karl Marx's theories of political economy in Das Kapital (1867).[2]
The Oxford English Dictionary records the phrase "soft power" (meaning "power (of a nation, state, alliance, etc.) deriving from economic and cultural influence, rather than coercion or military strength") from 1985.[4] Joseph Nye popularized the concept of "soft power" in the late 1980s.[5] For Nye, power is the ability to influence the behavior of others to get the outcomes you want. There are several ways one can achieve this: one can coerce others with threats; one can induce them with payments; or one can attract and co-opt them to want what one wants. This soft power – getting others to want the outcomes one wants – co-opts people rather than coerces them.[2] Soft power contrasts with "hard power" - the use of coercion and payment. Soft power can be wielded not just by states but also by all actors in international politics, such as NGOs or international institutions.[3] It is also considered by some an example of the "second face of power"[6] that indirectly allows one to obtain the outcomes one wants.[7][8] A country's soft power, according to Nye, rests on three resources: "its culture (in places where it is attractive to others), its political values (when it lives up to them at home and abroad), and its foreign policies (when others see them as legitimate and having moral authority)."[9] Soft power resources are the assets that produce attraction, which often leads to acquiescence.[3] Nye asserts that, "Seduction is always more effective than coercion, and many values like democracy, human rights, and individual opportunities are deeply seductive."[10] Angelo Codevilla observed that an often overlooked essential aspect of soft power is that different parts of populations are attracted or repelled by different things, ideas, images, or prospects.[11] Soft power is hampered when policies, culture, or values repel others instead of attracting them. Soft power has been criticized as being ineffective by authors such as Niall Ferguson in the preface to Colossus. Neorealist and other rationalist and neorationalist authors (with the exception of Stephen Walt) dismiss soft power out of hand as they assert that actors in international relations respond to only two types of incentives: economic incentives and force.

**Model Colony is a major event that can happen to all civilized nations, that owns at least one colony. It requires that there is no revolts in the country and that administration spending, education spending and military spending is at least 60%. It has a mean time to happen of 1500 months (150 years).
Roughly 98% of Belgium's overseas territory was just one colony (about 76 times larger than Belgium itself) – known as the Belgian Congo. The colony was founded in 1908 following the transfer of sovereignty from the Congo Free State, which was the personal property of Belgium's king, Leopold II. The violence used by Free State officials against indigenous Congolese and the ruthless system of economic extraction had led to intense diplomatic pressure on Belgium to take official control of the country. Belgian rule in the Congo was based on the "colonial trinity" (trinité coloniale) of state, missionary and private company interests. During the 1940s and 1950s, the Congo experienced extensive urbanization and the administration aimed to make it into a "model colony". As the result of a widespread and increasingly radical pro-independence movement, the Congo achieved independence, as the Republic of Congo-Léopoldville in 1960.
The term professional–managerial class (PMC) refers to a social class within capitalism that, by controlling production processes through occupying a superior management position, is neither proletarian nor bourgeoisie. Metropolitan elite is a term used to describe politically liberal people whose education has traditionally opened the doors to affluence, wealth and power and who form a managerial elite. It is commonly invoked pejoratively, with the implication that the people who claim to support the rights of the working class are themselves members of the ruling classes and are therefore out of touch with the real needs of the people they say that they support and protect.[4][5][6] The proletariat (/ˌproʊlɪˈtɛəriət/; from Latin proletarius 'producing offspring') is the social class of wage-earners, those members of a society whose possession of significant economic value is their labour power (their capacity to work).[1] A member of such a class is a proletarian or a proletaire. Marxist philosophy regards the proletariat under conditions of capitalism as an exploited class[2]⁠ forced to accept meager wages in return for operating the means of production, which belong to the class of business owners, the bourgeoisie.

The Intricate Relationship Between Ochosi and Ogun
Ochosi and Ogún, both highly revered Orishas in the Yoruba religion, share an intricate and profound relationship. They are often portrayed as brothers, with Ogún being the older one. This familial bond signifies a deep connection and mutual respect between them, which is reflected in their shared roles as protectors and providers.
Ogún, known as the deity of iron, war, and labor, is often associated with the raw force and power of nature. On the other hand, Ochosi, the deity of hunting and forests, represents the skill, precision, and patience required to survive in the wild. Despite these differences in their domains, they share a common purpose: to ensure the survival and prosperity of their followers.
The relationship between Ogún and Ochosi can also be seen as complementary. While Ogún clears the path with his machete, Ochosi hunts in the cleared path. This symbiotic relationship is often used to symbolize the balance between force and finesse, between power and precision. It's a reminder that both aspects are necessary for survival and success.
In many rituals and ceremonies, offerings are made to both Ogún and Ochosi. This is done to seek their blessings and guidance, reinforcing their importance in the lives of their followers. Despite their distinct roles and personalities, the bond between Ogún and Ochosi remains strong, reflecting their shared commitment to protecting and providing for their people.
Tthe relationship between Ochosi and Ogún is one of mutual respect, collaboration, and balance. They serve as powerful symbols of the various aspects of nature and survival, reminding us of the importance of both strength and skill in overcoming life's challenges.
An offshore trust is an estate planning tool that will grant an individual legal jurisdiction outside of the U.S. The individual achieves this by establishing a Trust in a different country. The assets are then transferred offshore, and are placed under management of Trustees and other types of estate plan managers. (Real Estate Brokerage Trust Account)
An foundation is a separate legal entity and is commonly created under civil law. A foundation does not have members or shareholders. An offshore foundation is one formed outside of the founder's country of residence. (Enterprise Foundation Conglomerate Ownership with Startup Accelerators and Business Incubators)
ART THILLER Jacques Prévert (French: [ʒak pʁevɛʁ]; 4 February 1900 – 11 April 1977) was a French poet and screenwriter. His poems became and remain popular in the French-speaking world, particularly in schools. His best-regarded films formed part of the poetic realist movement, and include Les Enfants du Paradis (1945). He published his first book in 1946. Poetic realism was a film movement in France of the 1930s. More a tendency than a movement, poetic realism is not strongly unified like Soviet montage or French Impressionism but were individuals who created this lyrical style. Its leading filmmakers were Pierre Chenal, Jean Vigo, Julien Duvivier, Marcel Carné, and, perhaps the movement's most significant director, Jean Renoir. Renoir made a wide variety of films some influenced by the leftist Popular Front group and even a lyrical short feature film.[1] Poetic realism films are "recreated realism", stylised and studio-bound, rather than approaching the "socio-realism of the documentary". They usually have a fatalistic view of life with their characters living on the margins of society, either as unemployed members of the working class or as criminals. Poetics is the study or theory of poetry, specifically the study or theory of device, structure, form, type, and effect with regards to poetry, though usage of the term can also refer to literature broadly. Poetry is the actual art in which you write poetry; Poetics is the theoretical background of literary devices and knowledge that you draw upon in writing said poetry. A criminologist examines all aspects of crime that involve works of art: forgery, fraud, theft, smuggling, and vandalism.
Drugs and Crime Nexus
Poker-Chess Strategy: +EV, Prophylaxis, and Initiative
First, the ‘psychopharmacological model’ argues that certain drugs may produce irrational, excitable, or violent behaviour in an individual. Many benzodiazepines are also likely to produce dependency in a regular user (Marshall & Longnecker 1992; Rall, 1992), and withdrawal from benzodiazepines has been associated with severe mood swings, irritability and personality changes (Marshall & Longnecker, 1992; Rall, 1992). In addition, use of benzodiazepines has been implicated in disinhibited behaviour (Bonn & Bonn 1998; Dobbin 2001; Rall 1992). Further, Makkai (2002) and Goldstein (1985) reported that some offenders use certain drugs purposely to reduce their fear of committing a crime, while Dobbin (2001) reported that benzodiazepine intoxication can produce feelings of over-confidence and invincibility in users, causing them to commit offences they would not normally undertake. Goldstein (1985) suggests that the incidence of psychopharmacological violence is impossible to assess, because such incidents may occur anywhere (including in the home, workplace, on the street and so on) and often go unreported, and also because when cases are reported the psychopharmacological state of the offender is often not officially recorded. The second model of the link between drugs and violence, the ‘economic compulsive’ model, argues that some drug users commit violent crimes, such as armed robberies, to support an expensive drug habit (Goldstein 1985), consistent with the enslavement model of property crime (Goode 1997). Theoretically, as illicit drugs are expensive and may be typified by compulsive patterns of use, the primary motivation of the user is to obtain money to purchase them. Thus, the violence is not usually intended, but occurs as a result of the situation where a property crime is being committed, such as the offender’s nervousness, the victim’s reaction, use of weapons by perpetrator or victim, or intercession by bystanders (Goldstein 1985). Studies have found that most 6 Benzodiazepine and pharmaceutical opiod misuse and their relationship to crime heroin users will avoid violent acquisitive crime if viable non-violent alternatives exist, because violence is more dangerous and also potentially increases the penalty if caught, and/or because perpetrators may lack a tendency towards violent behaviour (Goldstein 1985). In relation to violent crime, three models have also been put forward that may suggest implications for evaluating potential interventions aimed at reducing drug-related crime.
Abstract
Personality disorders and particularly antisocial personality disorders (APD) are quite frequent in opioid-dependent subjects. They show various personality traits: high neuroticism, high impulsivity, higher extraversion than the general population. Previous studies have reported that some but not all personality traits improved with treatment. In a previous study, we found a low rate of APD in a French population of opioid-dependent subjects. For this reason, we evaluated personality traits at intake and during maintenance treatment with methadone. Methods - The form A of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) was given to opioid addicts at intake and after 6 and 12 months of methadone treatment. Results - 134 subjects (96 males and 38 females) took the test at intake, 60 completed 12 months of treatment. After 12 months, the EPI Neuroticism (N) and the Extraversion-introversion (E) scale scores decreased significantly. The N score improved in the first 6 months, while the E score improved only during the second 6 months of treatment. Compared to a reference group of French normal controls, male and female opioid addicts showed high N and E scores. Demographic data and EPI scores of patients who stayed in treatment for 12 months did not differ significantly from those of dropouts (n=23). Patients with a history of suicide attempts (SA) started to use heroin at an earlier age and they showed a higher E score and a tendency for a higher N score at intake. Discussion - The two personality dimensions of the EPI changed during MMT, and the N score converged towards the score of normal controls. Opioid addicts differ from normal controls mostly in their N score. The EPI did not help to differentiate 12-month completers from dropouts. Higher E scores in patients with an SA history might reflect a higher impulsivity, which has been linked to suicidality in other patient groups.
Personality
So called 'benzo binges' have been associated with shoplifting and other crimes. Patients may also experience paradoxical excitement with increased anxiety, insomnia, talkativeness, restlessness, mania, and occasionally rage and violent behaviour (known as the 'Rambo effect').
High doses are also associated with a puzzling complication known as the “Rambo effect.” This unusual side effect occurs when a Xanax user begins displaying behaviors that are very unlike them. This might include aggression, promiscuity, or theft. It’s not clear why some people react this way or how to predict if it will happen to you.
SOCIO-STREET DEALING
Laws of Power, Strategies of War, and Laws of Human Nature By Robert Greene
Law 1: Never Outshine the Master: Ensure that those above you always feel superior. Go out of your way to make your bosses look better and feel smarter than anyone else. Everyone is insecure, but an insecure boss can retaliate more strongly than others can.
Law 2: Never Put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn How to Use Enemies: Keep a close eye on your friends — they get envious and will undermine you. If you co-opt an enemy, he’ll be more loyal than a friend because he’ll try harder to prove himself worthy of your trust.
Strategy 1: Do Not Fight the Last War: The Guerrilla-War-of-the-Mind Strategy: What most often weighs you down and brings you misery is the past, in the form of unnecessary attachments, repetitions of tired formulas, and the memory of old victories and defeats. You must consciously wage war against the past and force yourself to react to the present moment. Never take it for granted that your past successes will continue into the future.
Strategy 2: Segment Your Forces: The Controlled-Chaos Strategy; Speed and adaptability are critical elements in war, and come from flexible organization. Decentralize your army, segment into teams, and let go a little to gain mobility. Give your different corps clear missions that fit your strategic goals, then let them accomplish them as they see fit.
Law #3: People Can Be Influenced: We all need our self-image confirmed because we know it’s not always objectively accurate. We tend to like and listen to the people who validate us.
Law #4: People Wear Masks: We all display a persona, or a mask, that pumps up our positive qualities and shows ourselves in the best light. However, it’s not always easy to hide our true natures—while we have good control of our words, we don’t always have good control of our body language and nonverbal cues
Law #8: People’s Individuality Is Overpowered by Groups: When we’re in groups, everyone else’s emotions affect us and potentially provoke us into doing things we wouldn’t do alone.
Law #9: People Are Influenced by Their Generation: Everyone belongs to at least one group—their generation. Generational values are shaped by world events that took place during the generation’s coming-of-age years and the inevitable conflict with other generations.
Instrumental aggression refers to aggressive behavior meant to achieve a specific goal. Unlike other types of aggression, the behavior is not due to anger or other emotion but rather a calculated means to an end. Instrumental aggression is similar to bullying but with a specific, manipulative purpose.

Craft unionism refers to a model of trade unionism in which workers are organised based on the particular craft or trade in which they work. It contrasts with industrial unionism, in which all workers in the same industry are organized into the same union, regardless of differences in skill.
Industrial unionism is a trade union organising method through which all workers in the same industry are organized into the same union, regardless of skill or trade, thus giving workers in one industry, or in all industries, more leverage in bargaining and in strike situations.
As an anti-statist ideology, social anarchism opposes the concentration of power in the form of a State.[19] To social anarchists, the state is a type of coercive hierarchy designed to enforce private property and to limit individual self-development.[20] Social anarchists reject both centralised and limited forms of government, instead upholding social collaboration as a means to achieve a spontaneous order, without any social contract supplanting social relations.[21] Social anarchists believe that the abolition of the state will lead to greater "freedom, flourishing and fairness".
As an anti-capitalist ideology, social anarchism is opposed to the dominant expressions of capitalism, including the expansion of transnational corporations through globalization.[10] It comprises one of the main forms of socialism, alongside utopian socialism, democratic socialism and authoritarian socialism. Social anarchism rejects private property, particularly private ownership of the means of production, as the principal source of social inequality. As such, social anarchists typically oppose propertarianism, as they consider it to exacerbate social and economic inequality, suppress individual agency and require the maintenance of hierarchical institutions.

“Mirrors for Princes” designates a literary genre in which political ideas are expressed in the form of advice to a ruler.
Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility.[1] Especially in earlier medieval periods the term often implied not only a certain status, but also that the count had specific responsibilities or offices. The etymologically related English term "county" denoted the territories associated with some countships, but not all.
A county may be further subdivided into districts, hundreds, townships, or other administrative jurisdictions within the county. A county usually, but not always, contains cities, towns, townships, villages, or other municipal corporations, which in most cases are somewhat subordinate or dependent upon county governments. Depending on the nation, municipality, and local geography, municipalities may or may not be subject to direct or indirect county control. The functions of both levels are often consolidated into a city government when the area is densely populated, and are generally not when it is less densely populated.[b]
An upper-tier municipality means a municipality of which two or more lower-tier municipalities form part for municipalities purposes.

Gross national product (GNP) GNP is related to another important economic measure called gross domestic product (GDP), which takes into account all output produced within a country's borders regardless of who owns the means of production. GNP starts with GDP, adds residents' investment income from overseas investments, and subtracts foreign residents' investment income earned within a country. Whilst GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced within a country's borders, GNP focuses on the income generated by its residents, regardless of their location.
Gross National Income (GNI) is the total amount of money earned by a nation's people and businesses. It is used to measure and track a nation's wealth from year to year. The number includes the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) plus the income it receives from overseas sources.

IMPERIALISM, THE HIGHEST STAGE OF CAPITALISM
Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism,[1] originally published as Imperialism, the Newest Stage of Capitalism,[2][3] is a book written by Vladimir Lenin in 1916 and published in 1917. It describes the formation of oligopoly, by the interlacing of bank and industrial capital, in order to create a financial oligarchy, and explains the function of financial capital in generating profits from the exploitation colonialism inherent to imperialism, as the final stage of capitalism. The essay synthesises Lenin's developments of Karl Marx's theories of political economy in Das Kapital (1867).[4]

ENTERPRISE THEORY
Under this theory, organised crime exists because legitimate markets leave many customers and potential customers unsatisfied.[1] High demand for a particular good or service, low levels of risk detection and high profits lead to a conducive environment for entrepreneurial criminal groups to enter the market and profit by supplying those goods and services.[2] For success, there must be:
an identified market; and,
a certain rate of consumption (demand) to maintain profit and outweigh perceived risks.[3][4]
Under these conditions competition is discouraged, ensuring criminal monopolies sustain profits. Legal substitution of goods or services may (by increasing competition) force the dynamic of organised criminal operations to adjust, as will deterrence measures (reducing demand), and the restriction of resources (controlling the ability to supply or produce to supply).[5]

CPP Trafficking
meta-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) is a psychoactive drug of the phenylpiperazine class. It was initially developed in the late-1970s and used in scientific research before being sold as a designer drug in the mid-2000s.[4][5] It has been detected in pills touted as legal alternatives to illicit stimulants in New Zealand and pills sold as "ecstasy" in Europe and the United States.[6][7]
Politics: Fishermen catch the fish and sell them in the market. They also help clean the water and protect the environment by catching abundant fish. Physiocracy (French: physiocratie; from the Greek for "government of nature") is an economic theory developed by a group of 18th-century Age of Enlightenment French economists who believed that the wealth of nations derived solely from the value of "land agriculture" or "land development" and that agricultural products should be highly priced. Political economy is a branch of political science and economics studying economic systems (e.g. markets and national economies) and their governance by political systems (e.g. law, institutions, and government).[1][2][3][4] Widely studied phenomena within the discipline are systems such as labour markets and financial markets, as well as phenomena such as growth, distribution, inequality, and trade, and how these are shaped by institutions, laws, and government policy. Originating in the 16th century, it is the precursor to the modern discipline of economics.[5][6] Political economy in its modern form is considered an interdisciplinary field, drawing on theory from both political science and modern economics.[4] Free-market environmentalism argues that the free market, property rights, and tort law provide the best means of preserving the environment, internalizing pollution costs, and conserving resources. Green liberalism, or liberal environmentalism,[1] is liberalism that includes green politics in its ideology. Green liberals are usually liberal on social issues and "green" on economic issues.[1] The term "green liberalism" was coined by political philosopher Marcel Wissenburg in his 1998 book Green Liberalism: The Free and The Green Society. He argues that liberalism must reject the idea of absolute property rights and accept restraints that limit the freedom to abuse nature and natural resources. However, he rejects the control of population growth and any control over the distribution of resources as incompatible with individual liberty, instead favoring supply-side control: more efficient production and curbs on overproduction and overexploitation. This view tends to dominate the movement, although critics say it actually puts individual liberties above sustainability. The conservation movement, also known as nature conservation, is a political, environmental, and social movement that seeks to manage and protect natural resources, including animal, fungus, and plant species as well as their habitat for the future. Conservationists are concerned with leaving the environment in a better state than the condition they found it in.[1] Evidence-based conservation seeks to use high quality scientific evidence to make conservation efforts more effective. Green politics, or ecopolitics, is a political ideology that aims to foster an ecologically sustainable society often, but not always, rooted in environmentalism, nonviolence, social justice and grassroots democracy.[1][2] It began taking shape in the western world in the 1970s; since then green parties have developed and established themselves in many countries around the globe and have achieved some electoral success.

Dark Gatsby
Dark Gatsby is a growing aesthetic diverging from the Roaring 20s and Flapper aesthetics that center around the vivacity of the 1920s Jazz Age. Dark Gatbsy owes its origins to the murkier underworld that helped the 1920s to roar (bootlegging, speakeasys, etc.), and is more visually diverse by including people of color, especially, African Americans --who created and popularized jazz-- and other underrepresented communities such as LGBTQIA. It also uses author F. Scott Fitzgerald's quintessential literary anti-hero Jay Gatsby from the American novel The Great Gatsby (1925) as the representative of this time. Jay Gatsby is a social climbing playboy of unknown origins who owes his wealth to shadowy gains.
Dark Gatsby is a deeper, more sexualized expression of the Roaring 20s in popular culture. The celebrants are not so enamored of the unending wealth portrayed in The Great Gatsby or the WASP-y films from that era. They're more interested in the darkness that sat just beneath the surface of the incredible social gains made during that time.
Even though African Americans created the jazz and expanded its popularity, the 1920s also saw deep segregation and racial terrorism in the form of lynchings that relegated African Americans to a racially segregated parallel world. Jazz and the vices that kept it going like illegal drugs (marijuana, cocaine, and heroine), illegal alcohol due to Prohibition, gambling, and prostitution, were all accessible in hidden speakeasys or at after-hour clubs. Jazz musicians were known to make their most money playing for brothels and parties run by crime syndicates. Piano player extraordinaire Fats Waller was Chicago gangster Al Capone's favorite musician for his parties.

A public benefit corporation is a legal entity that is organized and taxed as either an S corporation or C corporation.[37] Founders will want to keep in mind that C-corporations experience a double tax associated with profits and again with dividends or payouts to shareholders.[38] S corporations are a legal entity that escapes this double taxation but there are certain stipulations that an entity will have to consider before being able to file as an S corporation.[38] If you are currently an S or C corporation your company will not change its tax status when you transfer to a public benefit corporation.[37] If you are currently an LLC, partnership or sole proprietorship then you will have to change tax status.[37] While public benefit corporations are taxed the same as their underlying corporation status, there is added benefit to taxation on charitable contributions. If a firm makes donations to a qualifying non-profit the charitable contributions receive a tax deductible status. This will lower a firm's taxes compared to a typical C-corporation that is not donating money and only focusing on short term profits. Many enterprise foundations are non-profits without a personal profit motive, which sets them aside from other ownership structures. Instead, they are legally bound by their purpose, which typically is to secure the longevity and independence of the companies that they own and to contribute to society by philanthropy. As perpetuities which cannot be dissolved, they are long-term owners. However, not all enterprise foundations are equally idealistic. Some have strong ties to the founding family and continue to donate to its descendants. Others again have ties to government organisations, cooperatives or associations, which helped establish them.

Contracts and Investments
Share Appreciation Right Plans (SAR Plans)
Under SAR Plans, the corporation grants plan participants share appreciation rights. Each SAR entitles participants to receive, on vesting, the net value of the increase in the market value of the corporation’s share between the grant date and the vesting date. Share Appreciation Right Plans are similar to stock option plans in some ways, and to RSU Plans in others:
Value. Share Appreciation Rights function much like stock options in many ways – but unlike stock options, participants aren’t required to pay the exercise price when they exercise the SAR. Share Appreciation Rights start with a nil value at the time of grant, so will have no value at vesting if the market value of the shares has decreased between the dates of grant and of vesting.
Plan Terms. Share Appreciation Right Plans typically contain provisions similar to those of RSU Plans in respect to plan administration, maximum shares reserved for issuance, grant agreement, market value, employment, share capital adjustments, change of control and shareholder agreements.
Vesting. Like RSU Plans, vesting provisions in SAR Plans can also be based on time, performance or both. Performance-based SARs are sometimes called “performance appreciation rights” or “PARs”. Once vested, the plan participant can settle the SARs in cash or in an amount of shares that equals the amount payable to the participant divided by the per share market value
Deferred Compensation
Deferred compensation refers to that part of one’s contribution that is withheld and paid at a future date. Retirement plans and employee pensions are examples of deferred compensation. Employers usually withhold a fraction of employees’ compensation every month, accumulate it over time, and pay the lump sum amount on a date previously agreed upon in the employment contract.
Real Estate Joint Venture (JV)
A real estate joint venture (JV) is a deal between multiple parties to work together and combine resources to develop a real estate project. Most large projects are financed and developed as a result of real estate joint ventures. JVs allow real estate operators (individuals with extensive experience managing real estate projects) to work with real estate capital providers (entities that can supply capital for a real estate project).

Criminology is the study of crime from four different perspectives. These include legal, political, sociological, and psychological.
URBAN LEVEL: MINUIT DU SAÏNTS
URBAN SHAMANISM
Urban shamanism distinguishes traditional shamanism found in indigenous societies from Western adaptations that draw on contemporary and modern roots. Urban shamanism is practiced primarily by people who do not originate in a traditional indigenous society and who create unique methods that do not follow or claim authenticity in any prior tradition. Urban shamanism traces its beginnings to efforts by Westerners to come to terms with psychoactive plant experiences using their own modern frames of cultural reference influenced by, but outside of, the indigenous rites in which plant medicine is traditionally based. Surautomatism is any theory or act in practice of surrealist creative production taking, or purporting to take, automatism to its most absurd limits. Action painting, sometimes called "gestural abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied. The resulting work often emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of its artist. An acid house party was a type of illegal party typically staged in an Art Gallery After Party between 1987 and 1989. Opium dens were typically dark, hidden, underground spaces or an Art Gallery After Party. Dazecore is an aesthetic inspired by sleepless nights and the buzz of late night/early morning thoughts. It is very closely linked to Urbancore, Geek, and Dark Minimalism, heavily influenced by artists working in the early hours of the morning and students staying up late at night working on papers. Urbancore is an aesthetic based on imagery of urban cities and street life. Urbancore is associated to real-life, modern-day society and almost always is based in recent decades. As it is a really broad aesthetic, it can revolve around city streets and architecture, graffiti, skate parks at night, urban fashion and picnics. Thriller is a genre of fiction with numerous, often overlapping, subgenres, including crime, horror, and detective fiction. Thrillers are characterized and defined by the moods they elicit, giving their audiences heightened feelings of suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation and anxiety. A thriller generally keeps its audience on the "edge of their seats" as the plot builds towards a climax. The cover-up of important information is a common element.[2] Literary devices such as red herrings, plot twists, unreliable narrators, and cliffhangers are used extensively. A thriller is often a villain-driven plot, whereby they present obstacles that the protagonist or hero must overcome. bon vivant (plural bon vivants or bons vivants) A man who enjoys luxurious things in life, especially good food and drink; a man about town. Olfactory art is an art form that uses scents as a medium. Olfactory art includes perfume as well as other applications of scent. A clay-court specialist is a tennis player who excels on clay courts, more than on any other surface. Due in part to advances in racquet technology, current clay-court specialists are known for employing long, winding groundstrokes that generate heavy topspin; such strokes are less effective on faster surfaces on which the balls do not bounce as high. Clay-court specialists tend to slide more effectively on clay than other players. Many of them are also very adept at hitting the drop shot, which can be effective because rallies on clay courts often leave players pushed far beyond the baseline. Additionally, the slow, long rallies require a great degree of mental focus and physical stamina.
MOVEMENTS 
Expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Northern Europe around the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas.[1][2] Expressionist artists have sought to express the meaning[3] of emotional experience rather than physical reality.[3][4]
Action painting, sometimes called "gestural abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied. The resulting work often emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of its artist.

INFLUENCE
Les Automatistes were a group of Québécois artistic dissidents from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The movement was founded in the early 1940s by painter Paul-Émile Borduas. Les Automatistes were so called because they were influenced by Surrealism and its theory of automatism. 
Paul-Émile Borduas (November 1, 1905 – February 22, 1960) was a Québecois artist known for his abstract paintings. He was the leader of the avant-garde Automatiste movement and the chief author of the Refus Global manifesto of 1948. Borduas had a profound impact on the development of the arts and of thought, both in the province of Quebec and in Canada.
The Quiet Revolution (French: Révolution tranquille) refers to a significant period of socio-political and socio-cultural transformation in French Canada, particularly in Quebec, following the election of 1960.
Nuit Blanche (French pronunciation: [nɥi ˈblɑ̃ʃ]) (White Night) is an annual all-night or night-time arts festival of a city. A Nuit Blanche typically has museums, private and public art galleries, and other cultural institutions open and free of charge, with the centre of the city itself being turned into a de facto art gallery, providing space for art installations, performances (music,[1] film, dance, performance art), themed social gatherings, and other activities.
In the arts and in literature, the term avant-garde (advance guard and vanguard) identifies an experimental genre, or work of art, and the artist who created it; which usually is aesthetically innovative, whilst initially being ideologically unacceptable to the artistic establishment of the time.[2] The military metaphor of an advance guard identifies the artists and writers whose innovations in style, form, and subject-matter challenge the artistic and aesthetic validity of the established forms of art and the literary traditions of their time; thus, the artists who created the anti-novel and Surrealism were ahead of their times.[3] 
In The Theory of the Avant-Garde (Teoria dell'arte d'avanguardia, 1962), the academic Renato Poggioli provides an early analysis of the avant-garde as art and as artistic movement.[9] Surveying the historical and social, psychological and philosophical aspects of artistic vanguardism, Poggioli's examples of avant-garde art, poetry, and music, show that avant-garde artists share some values and ideals as contemporary bohemians.[10]
Bohemianism is a social and cultural movement that has, at its core, a way of life away from society's conventional norms and expectations. The term originates from the French bohème and spread to the English-speaking world. It was used to describe mid-19th-century non-traditional lifestyles, especially of artists, writers, journalists, musicians, and actors in major European cities.
An illusion is a distortion of the senses, which can reveal how the mind normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. Although illusions distort the human perception of reality, they are generally shared by most people.[1]
The Morgan Library & Museum contains illuminated manuscripts, authors' original manuscripts, books, and sheets of music. The Morgan also houses collections of drawings, photographs, paintings, maps, and other objects. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum has hosted temporary exhibitions, as well as events such as concerts and lectures. Both the collection and the buildings have received commentary over the years.
Jacques Prévert (French: [ʒak pʁevɛʁ]; 4 February 1900 – 11 April 1977) was a French poet and screenwriter. His poems became and remain popular in the French-speaking world, particularly in schools. His best-regarded films formed part of the poetic realist movement, and include Les Enfants du Paradis (1945). He published his first book in 1946.
His poems were the basis for a film by the director and documentarian Joris Ivens, The Seine Meets Paris (La Seine a rencontré Paris, 1957), about the River Seine. The poem was read as narration during the film by singer Serge Reggiani.[8] In 2007, a filmed adaptation of Prévert's poem "To Paint the Portrait of a Bird" was directed by Seamus McNally, featuring T.D. White and Antoine Ray- English translation by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
The primary focus of the group consisted of semi-abstract paintings with brilliant color, violent brushwork, and distorted human figures inspired by primitive and folk art and similar to American action painting. CoBrA was a milestone in the development of Tachisme and European abstract expressionist.
The manifesto, entitled, "La cause était entendue" (The Case Was Settled) was written by CoBrA member Christian Dotremont and signed by all founding members in Paris in 1948. It was directly speaking to their experience attending the Centre International de Documentation sur l'Art d'Avant-garde in which they felt the atmosphere was sterile and authoritarian. It was a statement of working collaboratively in an organic mode of experimentation in order to develop their work separate from the current place of the avant-garde movement. The name of the manifesto was also a play on words from an earlier document signed by Belgian and French Revolutionary Surrealists in July 1947, entitled "La cause est entendue" (The Case Is Settled).[10]
The European artists were different from their American counterparts (the Abstract expressionists) for they preferred the process over the product and introduced primitive, mythical, and folkloric elements along with a decorative input from their children [11] and graffiti.[12] One of the new approaches that united the CoBrA artists was their unrestrained use of strong colors, along with violent handwritings and figuration which can be either frightening or humorous. Their art was alive with subhuman figures in order to mirror the terror and weakness of our time unlike the dehumanized art of Abstraction.[13] This spontaneous method was a rejection of Renaissance art, specialization, and 'civilized art', they preferred 'uncivilized' forms of expression which created an interplay between the conscious and the unconscious instead of the Surrealist interest in the unconscious alone. The childlike in their method meant a pleasure in painting, in the materials, forms, and finally the picture itself; this aesthetic notion was called 'desire unbound'. 
Tachisme (alternative spelling: Tachism, derived from the French word tache, stain) is a French style of abstract painting popular in the 1940s and 1950s. The term is said to have been first used with regards to the movement in 1951.[1] It is often considered to be the European response and equivalent to abstract expressionism,[2] although there are stylistic differences (American abstract expressionism tended to be more "aggressively raw" than tachisme).[1] It was part of a larger postwar movement known as Art Informel (or Informel),[2] which abandoned geometric abstraction in favour of a more intuitive form of expression, similar to action painting. Another name for Tachism is Abstraction lyrique (related to American Lyrical Abstraction). COBRA is also related to Tachisme

ACTION PAINTING FUNDAMENTALS 
The document outlines 5 painting techniques: putting paint, dripping paint, pouring paint, splashing paint, and splattering paint.
Their process, involved splashing, using gestural brushstrokes and dripping paint onto canvas rather than carefully applying it. 
Action painting, direct, instinctual, and highly dynamic kind of art that involves the spontaneous application of vigorous, sweeping brushstrokes and the chance effects of dripping and spilling paint onto the canvas.
Stochastic effect, or "chance effect" is one classification of radiation effects that refers to the random, statistical nature of the damage. In contrast to the deterministic effect, severity is independent of dose. Only the probability of an effect increases with dose.
The term typically describes large-scale canvases dominated by flat expanses of color and having a minimum of surface detail. Color-field paintings have a unified single-image field and differ qualitatively from the gestural, expressive brushwork.
In expressionist painting, colours may appear intense and non-naturalistic, forms become distorted, brushwork is typically free and paint application tends to be generous and highly textured.
Brushwork in oil painting refers to the way an artist applies paint to a canvas using a brush. It can be thick* or thin, smooth or rough*, and can convey different textures and emotions depending on the artist's intention.
Bogart created his unique surfaces using a mixture of oil, pigment, mortar, chalk, and siccatives—additives to help the thick paint dry more evenly and quickly.

Art Pedagogy: Arts-based pedagogy is a teaching methodology in which an art form is integrated with another subject matter to impact student learning. 28-30. Arts-based pedagogy results in arts-based learning (ABL),11 which is when a student learns about a subject through arts processes including creating, responding or performing. Aesthetic Teaching: Seeking a Balance between Teaching Arts and Teaching through the Arts. In aesthetic education, learning must be developed especially with the inclusion of sensations and with the help of feelings. Sensations and feelings should lead to movement, representation, and expression. Aesthetic learning often entails learning to distinguish certain qualities or objects aesthetically in different ways depending on the situation and the purpose. Certain things can be experienced in negative ways in one activity and in positive ways in another.

CRIMINAL UNIONISM 
Craft unionism refers to a model of trade unionism in which workers are organised based on the particular craft or trade in which they work. It contrasts with industrial unionism, in which all workers in the same industry are organized into the same union, regardless of differences in skill.
Industrial unionism is a trade union organising method through which all workers in the same industry are organized into the same union, regardless of skill or trade, thus giving workers in one industry, or in all industries, more leverage in bargaining and in strike situations.
As an anti-statist ideology, social anarchism opposes the concentration of power in the form of a State.[19] To social anarchists, the state is a type of coercive hierarchy designed to enforce private property and to limit individual self-development.[20] Social anarchists reject both centralised and limited forms of government, instead upholding social collaboration as a means to achieve a spontaneous order, without any social contract supplanting social relations.[21] Social anarchists believe that the abolition of the state will lead to greater "freedom, flourishing and fairness".
As an anti-capitalist ideology, social anarchism is opposed to the dominant expressions of capitalism, including the expansion of transnational corporations through globalization.[10] It comprises one of the main forms of socialism, alongside utopian socialism, democratic socialism and authoritarian socialism. Social anarchism rejects private property, particularly private ownership of the means of production, as the principal source of social inequality. As such, social anarchists typically oppose propertarianism, as they consider it to exacerbate social and economic inequality, suppress individual agency and require the maintenance of hierarchical institutions.

“Mirrors for Princes” designates a literary genre in which political ideas are expressed in the form of advice to a ruler. 
Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility.[1] Especially in earlier medieval periods the term often implied not only a certain status, but also that the count had specific responsibilities or offices. The etymologically related English term "county" denoted the territories associated with some countships, but not all.
A county may be further subdivided into districts, hundreds, townships, or other administrative jurisdictions within the county. A county usually, but not always, contains cities, towns, townships, villages, or other municipal corporations, which in most cases are somewhat subordinate or dependent upon county governments. Depending on the nation, municipality, and local geography, municipalities may or may not be subject to direct or indirect county control. The functions of both levels are often consolidated into a city government when the area is densely populated, and are generally not when it is less densely populated.[b]
An upper-tier municipality means a municipality of which two or more lower-tier municipalities form part for municipalities purposes.

PARDICÉ MINUIT BALLARDS 
Writing Process
Rough Draft Ballards with Poetic Devices Proofreading
Ballads
Ballads derive from the French “chanson ballade,” which were poems set to music and intended for dancing. Because of its strong musical background, ballads are associated with a specific meter: Ballads are typically written with alternating lines of iambic tetrameter (dah-DUM dah-DUM dah-DUM dah-DUM) and iambic trimeter (da DUM da DUM da DUM), with every second and fourth line rhyming. They were most popular in Ireland and Britain starting in the Middle Ages, but also gained popularity around Europe and on other continents. Ballads may be relatively short narrative poems, compared to other types of narrative poetry.
Rhyme Scheme
The core structure for a ballad is a quatrain, written in either abcb or abab rhyme schemes. The first and third lines are iambic tetrameter, with four beats per line; the second and fourth lines are in trimeter, with three beats per line.
Theme
The theme of a poem is the message an author wants to communicate through the piece. The theme differs from the main idea because the main idea describes what the text is mostly about. Supporting details in a text can help lead a reader to the main idea.

Imagery 
Imagery is a literary device used in poetry, novels, and other writing that uses vivid description that appeals to a readers' senses to create an image or idea in their head. Through language, imagery does not only paint a picture, but aims to portray the sensational and emotional experience within text.
Poets create imagery by using figures of speech like simile (a direct comparison between two things); metaphor (comparison between two unrelated things that share common characteristics); personification (giving human attributes to nonhuman things); and onomatopoeia (a word that mimics the natural sound of a thing).
Oxymoron–A combination of two words that appear to contradict each other
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two otherwise dissimilar things, often introduced by the words like or as ('you are like a summer's day'). A metaphor is when a word is used in place of another to suggest a likeness ('you are a summer's day'). This pup is a master of both simile and metaphor.
Rhyme
Rhyme is the repetition of syllables, typically at the end of a verse line. Rhymed words conventionally share all sounds following the word's last stressed syllable. Rhyme is one of the first poetic devices that we become familiar with but it can be a tricky poetic device to work with.
Refrain in Poetry
A poem is an artistic literary work composed of verses that combine rhythm, syntax, and particular language to create an imaginative subject matter

Underplot, un′dėr-plot, n. a plot under or subordinate to the main plot in a play or tale: a secret scheme, a trick.

CARTIER PUBLISHING IMPRINT
Urban Literature is a literary genre set in a city landscape; however, the genre is as much defined by the socio-economic realities and culture of its characters as the urban setting. The tone for urban fiction is usually dark, focusing on the underside of city living. Profanity, sex, and violence are usually explicit, with the writer not shying away from or watering-down the material. Most authors of this genre draw upon their past experiences to depict their storylines.
Réveillez-vous Film (Coming of Age Psychological Thrillers)
Poetic Réalisme
Film Noir
Classic Film Noir exposes the myths by which we fulfil our desires — sex — murder — and the family unit.
 Literary devices and techniques[edit]
Plot twist – Films such as Psycho and The Skeleton Key have advertised the fact that they contain plot twists and asked audiences to refrain from revealing spoilers. Psychological thrillers with poorly received plot twists, such as The Village, have suffered in the box office.[10]
Unreliable narrator – Andrew Taylor identifies the unreliable narrator as a common literary device used in psychological thrillers and traces it back to Edgar Allan Poe's influence on the genre. Criminal insanity may be explored as a theme.[11]
MacGuffin – Alfred Hitchcock pioneered the concept of the MacGuffin, a goal or item that initiates or otherwise advances the plot. The MacGuffin is frequently only vaguely defined, and it can be used to increase suspense.[12]
Red herring – The term was popularized by William Cobbett and is defined as a kind of fallacy that is an irrelevant topic introduced to divert the attention of the audience. A red herring is used to lead the audience to make false assumptions and mislead its attention.[13]
Coming of Age: A marked loss of childhood innocence, to some degree, in favor of maturity. Inner conflict and turmoil, resulting in personal growth and development. Developing from a self-centered thinking to a more worldly, other-focused thought. Learning where one fits in the larger world.
Erikson's stages of psychosocial development: Erik Homburger Erikson (born Erik Salomonsen; 15 June 1902 – 12 May 1994) was a German-American child psychoanalyst known for his theory on psychosocial development of human beings. He coined the phrase identity crisis.

Literary Device
Film Literature
in establishing the limits of both the novel (Newspapers) and the film, argues that novelist and film director meet in the attempt “to make you see”, the former through the mind; the latter through the eye.
“impure” aesthetic, one tinged with the markings of society, ideology, and sexual desire. 
Capitalism, Betrayal, Romance
Poetic Réalisme 
Poetic realism films are "recreated realism", stylised and studio-bound, rather than approaching the "socio-realism of the documentary". They usually have a fatalistic view of life with their characters living on the margins of society, either as unemployed members of the working class or as criminals.
Self-destructive Escapism
Escapism is mental diversion from unpleasant aspects of daily life, typically through activities involving imagination or entertainment. Escapism also may be used to occupy one's self away from persistent feelings of depression or general sadness.
Surréalisme-Synecdoqu-Métonymie Screenplay
Surrealism is an art and cultural movement that developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I in which artists aimed to allow the unconscious mind to express itself, often resulting in the depiction of illogical or dreamlike scenes and ideas.[1] Its intention was, according to leader André Breton, to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality", or surreality.[2][3][4] It produced works of painting, writing, theatre, filmmaking, photography, and other media as well.
a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, as in Cleveland won by six runs
the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example suit for business executive, or the track for horse racing.
Allégorie
a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.
Suspense is created by withholding information or revealing it slowly, creating a sense of mystery or uncertainty about what will happen next.
A thriller generally keeps its audience on the "edge of their seats" as the plot builds towards a climax. The cover-up of important information is a common element.[2] Literary devices such as red herrings, plot twists, unreliable narrators, and cliffhangers are used extensively. A thriller is often a villain-driven plot, whereby they present obstacles that the protagonist or hero must overcome.
Slavoj Žižek Lacanianism or Lacanian psychoanalysis is a theoretical system that explains the mind, behaviour, and culture through a structuralist and post-structuralist extension of classical psychoanalysis, initiated by the work of Jacques Lacan from the 1950s to the 1980s.
