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.

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 ..

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.

9,000-year-old rock art discovered among dinosaur footprints in Brazil
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

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.
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.

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.

Arthur Leipzig
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.

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.
Monopoly, real-estate board game for two to eight players, in which the player's goal is to remain financially solvent while forcing opponents into bankruptcy by buying and developing pieces of property.
“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.

A currency union (also known as monetary union) is an intergovernmental agreement that involves two or more states sharing the same currency. These states may not necessarily have any further integration (such as an economic and monetary union, which would have, in addition, a customs union and a single market).

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.

Commercialism is the application of both manufacturing and consumption towards personal usage, or the practices, methods, aims, and distribution of products in a free market geared toward generating a profit.
Commercial art is art created for advertising or marketing purposes. Commercial artists are hired by clients to create images and logos that sell products. Unlike works of fine art that convey an artist's personal expression, commercial art must address the client's goals.

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.

Joint Ventures as a Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) with Femme Chief Engineering Officer (CENO) below me. Thé CEO is thé Otherside of thé Joint Venture. 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).

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

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.

Ancient Treasures Beeing Uncovered Waiting Excibition
TEHRAN - More than two months have passed since the recovery of 3506 Achaemenid tablets, and the time for their unveiling has not yet been determined. However, the director of the National Museum of Iran announced their imminent display in this museum soon.
It was late in September that 3506 Achaemenid tablets were returned to Iran after nearly 90 years, accompanying the President's plane.
The treasured tablets were returned home by the plane carrying President Ebrahim Raisi, who addressed the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly during his visit to New York.
These clay tablets were part of a larger shipment discovered at Persepolis in 1311, which was entrusted to the Oriental Institute of Chicago for deciphering and study.
Out of over 30,000 pieces held by the Chicago Institute for study and deciphering, five shipments have been returned to Iran in the Iranian years 1327 (1948-49), 1330 (1951-52), 1383 (2004-05), 1398 (2019-2020), and 1402 (2023-24), ISNA reported.
Yet, portions of these tablets still remain at the institute. Ezzatollah Zarghami, the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts, had previously mentioned the process of returning the remaining tablets, stating that the groundwork for their return has been laid out. “According to an agreement made by the Americans, our experts will go to that country to verify the remaining tablets, after which they will gradually be returned to Iran.”
However, the fifth shipment, arriving in Iran on September 21 this year, consisted of 836 small tablets in Aramaic script and 2670 large tablets in Elamite script. They were shipped in nine boxes each weighing 75 kg. They were ultimately delivered to the National Museum of Iran.
It was planned that after quarantine, inspection, and study, some of these tablets would be put on display. Jebrael Nokandeh, the director of the National Museum of Iran, responding to ISNA regarding the timing of their display, stated: “It will be showcased soon.”.
He had previously mentioned the possibility of showcasing the Achaemenid tablets during Research Week (Dec. 16 to 20), but upon ISNA's follow-up, he responded: "The time for display (of the fifth shipment of recovered Achaemenid tablets) is approaching."
Studies conducted thus far on the Achaemenid clay tablets indicate that their content encompasses the administration and upper echelons of society during that historical period.
Archaeologists affiliated with the University of Chicago discovered the tablets in the 1930s while excavating in Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire. However, the institute has resumed work in collaboration with colleagues in Iran, and the return of the tablets is part of a broadening of contacts between scholars in the two countries, said Gil Stein, director of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago.
They are very important sources of information revealing economic, social, and religious data about the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BC) and the larger Near Eastern region in the fifth century BC.
Persepolis, locally known as Takht-e Jamshid, was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire. It ranks among the archaeological sites, that have no equivalent, considering its unique architecture, urban planning, construction technology, and art.
Narratives say that Persepolis was burnt by Alexander the Great in 330 BC apparently as revenge against the Persians because it seems the Persian King Xerxes had burnt the Greek City of Athens around 150 years earlier. It was the largest and most durable empire of its time, stretching from Ethiopia, through Egypt, to Greece, Anatolia (modern Turkey), Central Asia, and India at its height.

Nighthawks d.1942 by Edward Hopper
📍Art Institute of Chicago.
Edward Hopper was an American Realist painter and printmaker. He studied illustration before transferring to the New York School of Art to realise his dreams. Despite this, it would take almost twenty years for his art career to take off. The early 1930s were a period of great success for Hopper with sales to major museums and retrospectives. He continued to be active during the war years and through the 50s and 60s and remained successful despite the emergence of new art movements.
American Realism was an art, music and literary movement that depicted contemporary social realities and the lives of everyday people. As a literary movement, it began in the mid-19th century and as a visual art in the early 20th century. The birth of Realism was France in the mid-19th century as a response to rapid industrialisation. It took on a uniquely national schism when applied to American art. Realist art has a tendency to subvert or completely overlook Academy standards. American Realism, though various means, became an important tool in shaping America's self identity.
The painting portrays four people in a downtown diner at night viewed through the large diner window. The three customers are lost in their own thoughts, yet congregate together. Its composition and lack of real narrative give it a feeling of timelessness and universal quality that transcends any specific locale and Hopper's understanding of light playing on simple shapes gives the painting its beauty, as the diner emits an eerie glow. There is no entrance to the diner, and we, the viewer are shut out from the scene by a wedge of glass. Hopper denied that he deliberately infused the painting with symbols of human isolation and urban emptiness but acknowledged he perhaps did so subconsciously.

The Smithsonian Reveals the Supernatural in Early Modern Japanese Theatre
From its hair-raising horror films to its numerous urban legends, Japan enjoys a particularly strong connection with the supernatural. This is hardly a recent development. Paranormal elements within Japanese folklore stretch back several centuries, with Yōkai (supernatural beings), Yūrei (ghosts) and Bakemono (monsters) appearing as early as the 14th century, in the moralistic Buddhist and Shinto dance dramas known as Noh. However, as the National Museum of Asian Art at the Smithsonian Institution, New York, highlights, these figures would not appear in popular entertainment till the Edo period, which began in 1603. The Museum’s ongoing art exhibition Staging the Supernatural: Ghosts and the Theater in Japanese Prints explores the role that supernatural beings played in Japanese theatre at the time, through its presentation of woodblock prints and illustrated books detailing their appearances in both Noh and the more informal Kabuki theatre forms...
