In modern literary Russian a certain group of Ukrainian borrowings may be traced: these are borrowings that penetrated into Russian from Ukrainian. These words nominate cultural concepts of Ukrainian linguistic culture, that is represented by historisms.
Универсальные приёмы выстраивания образа маленького человека в произведениях Н.В. Гоголя (О нарративной стратегии и рецепции)
Author(s): Evgeniy Vasilevich Sintsov / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1/2017
This paper aims at identification of the universal narrative techniques and principles developed by N.V. Gogol to express his views about a little man. On the basis of the narrative strategy, the conceptual core of understanding of a little man by N.V. Gogol has been created. Special techniques and semantic levels of the dialogue with the reader created by the author of the works, in which the above-specified type of character occurs, have been "modeled". The research is based on such N.V. Gogol's works as "The Government Inspector" and "Dead Souls", as well as some individual images from such series as "St. Petersburg Stories", "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka", and "Mirgorod". This triune approach (the author's concept – the narrative strategy – the principles of dialogue with the reader) has allowed to reveal new philosophical and artistic aspects of the image of a little man, to establish their connection with the sharp contrast of "the hidden" and "the visible" in the unfolding of the narrative structures, and to describe the conditions for a sudden displacement of contemplative and ironic position of the reader in terms of intuitive reading of riddles of the soul of the characters. The first part of the paper summarizes the observations of literary scholars over the techniques that shape the effect of hiddenness: the details indirectly characterizing the characters, their relationships with others, portrait features, description of the actions, dreams. It has been concluded that the techniques are focused on the generation of an illusion in the reader that the character is understood from different sides, being built following the principle of mosaicity. The author creates a feeling of a certain "preparation" of the character in the reader, which is similar to a distant observation, leading to the final and comprehensive conclusions.
УПОДОБЛЕНИЕ ЛЕСА ХРАМУ В ПОЭТИКЕ Б. ПАСТЕРНАКА
Author(s): Anna Aleksandrovna Skoropadskaya / Language(s): English,Russian / Issue: 14/2016
The article deals with the motive of comparison of the image of the forest with that one of a temple. This motive became crosscutting for all Pasternak's works and formed the basis of his philosophical notion of Nature as a temple, comprising mythological and biblical traditions. There are temple allusions in the description of the forest contained in many Pasternak's literary works: "cathedral darkness" reigns in the forest, forest sounds resemble temple singing, tree trunks look like "the ranks of worshipers" or saints. An ascending image of the forest and the cathedral gives a figurative idea of the Supreme law of the Universe: Nature is permeated by the Divine plan and exists in full harmony with it. This idea of Nature as a temple is best represented in the final book of poems "When it clears up" and in the novel "Doctor Zhivago". A universal locus of the forest embraces all the "outside world" in the child's conscious of Yuriy Zhivago, and God is compared with a forester who supervises the things happening here below. Later, as an adult, Zhivago sticks to this prototype and, it is in the forest where he appreciates the gift of a living spirit and tries to live by the laws of the forest-temple in the city.
Употребление инфинитива в Синайском патерике
Author(s): Ištvan Požgai / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2013
The aim of this article is to examine the use of infinitives in Sinai Paterikon, a manuscript which was copied from an Old Slavic manuscript in the Old Russian language area in the 11th and 12th centuries. The author mainly concentrates on the use of infinitives 1) in compounds with auxiliaries, 2) as various parts of the sentence, and 3) in the syntactic construction "dativus cum infinitivo", which was used for shortening various clauses. Besides, the author also studies other constructions with infinitives such as "accusativus cum infinitivo" and "nominativus cum infinitivo".

УРУШАВАЊЕ ВРЕМЕНА И ПРОСТОРА - ПОЗИВ НА ПОГУБЉЕЊЕ ВЛАДИМИРА НАБОКОВА
Author(s): Ljiljana M. Cuk / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2011
This paper discusses the distribution of narrative time, the absence of anachronisms and the uniform pace of anisochronisms: the interchange of isochronous dialogues, summaries of events and reflective pauses in the rhythm of one chapter - one day. Nabokov's novel relativises both space (illogical mazes and passages, distorted mirrors, the corrosion of the material world) and time (after his death, the character continues his life in another, parallel time). The visual imagery of the text (and the scene oriented narrative time) draws this novel towards the dramatic genre.
УСАДЕБНЫЙ ТЕКСТ Г.Р. ДЕРЖАВИНА И ПОЭТОВ ЕГО КРУГА
Author(s): Valerii Anatolyevich Domansky / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2015
This paper considers G.R. Derzhavin's country estate text, which is accomplished and contains topoi and loci typical for the subsequent texts of this type. The country estate idyllic chronotope was developed by G.R. Derzhavin, first and foremost in his poem "To Eugene. Life at Zvanka", as well as by N.A. Lvov and G.R. Derzhavin's literary circle. It is stated that this chronotope should have determined the pre-romantic and, partially, romantic country estate texts of the 19th century.
Утопизм западного рационализма, позитивизма и утилитаризма в зеркале антропологической и историософской мысли Ф. М. Достоевского и В. Ф. Одоевского
Author(s): Boris Tarasov / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2019
On the basis of the concept of "Christian realism" in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky and V. F. Odoevsky the article deals with the biologizing and sociologizing concepts of the human nature since the Enlightenment and their connection with the fragmentation of the completeness and integrity of this nature, its complexity and inconsistency, with the descensive processes in the spiritual and moral world of people and entropy trends in the course of history. It is shown how spiritual laws, that go beyond the field of view of the rationalistic and pragmatic consciousness, transform the social and progressive engineering and planning, bring nihilistic elements into them. It is emphasized that the methodology of Christian realism is universal, associates the "mystery of man" with the mystery of history and becomes one of the fundamental principles for assessing the hierarchy of values in various worldview, ideological and social systems for the disclosure ascending and descending processes in them, the analysis of the elements of utopianism and social Darwinism.
Уточнения к родословию Достоевских (по материалам петербургского архива)
Author(s): Tatyana V. Panyukova / Language(s): English,Russian / Issue: 1/2018
The article explores some archival sources concerning St. Petersburg line of the Dostoevskys. Based on the original documents thirty three records from parish registers and lists of the deceased, kept in the Central State Historical Archive of Saint Petersburg, were published and analyzed. All the records are reproduced with the indication of the archival storage sites. Their studying allows considering the given archive as a valuable source of the documentary data on Dostoevsky's genealogy and his family entourage. The documentary information on the burial at the Smolensk, Bolsheokhtinsky Georgievsky orthodox cemeteries in Saint Petersburg and at the cemetery of the Novodevichy Voskresensky monastery (Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg, Funds 457, 641 and 639) for the first time was introduced into scientific use. Two younger brothers and sister of F. M. Dostoevsky, their relatives (the Dostoevskys, the Rykachyovs, the Golenovskys, the Shevyakovs, the Stavrovskys), the descendants of the elder brother (the Dostoevskys, the Vladislavlevs) were buried there, as well as the relatives of the writer on the part of Anna Grigorievna Dostoevskaya (the Snitkins). Based on these documents some biographic data, presented by previous researchers, have been revised or updated.
Ухрония как структурообразующий прием в романе Евгения Водолазкина «Авиатор»
Author(s): Natalia Kovtun / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2018
This article is devoted to an analysis of the iconic novel Aviator (2016), written by Eugene Vodolazkin. Uchronia is indicated as a text-forming principle for organizing the text, with the works of A. Ulybyshev, F. Dostoevsky, I. Goncharov and N. Chernyshevsky, up to the writings of A. Bogdanov and A. Chayanov, acting as its examples in Russia. Our hypothesis is that the key idea of narration is the creation of a character's own diary as an island, where the elusive signs of time and the "trivialities of existence," through which the ineffable unfolds, are preserved. The island-text becomes one of the ways for the story to survive. From this point of view, we analyze the structure of the novel as a text within a text, the system of characters, the key motifs of uchronia, including the dream, the journey, the exotic island, the garden, the initiation, the character's love for the "aboriginal woman," and the classical versions of the characters: the traveler and the interpreters accompanying him. The novel Aviator, built on the basis of uchronia, unfolds into a narration about the search for existential meanings that are found in the existential experiences of the characters. The deciphering code of history, it seems, is literature, the plots found within which unfold in real life, turn into myths and return to literature, an example of which is the Aviator's diary.
Учебно-методические пособия В. А. Ислентьева: жанрово-тематическое содержание переводных текстов
Author(s): Valey Kelmakov,Alevtina Vasilievna Kamitova / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 04 (27)/2017
The article aims to study textbooks by V. A. Islentyev, which contain numerous translated texts. They have been established to belong to different genres and topics. The analyzed material mostly covers a series of topics relating to natural science, literature and religion, and comprises both prosaic and poetic texts. The study demonstrates that the texts are grouped into two parts, secular and religious ones. The author attempts to differentiate the texts by genre, to reconstruct their authorship and original names, and also states the reasons why V. A. Islentyev had used translated versions. Taking some pieces as an example, the author demonstrates the algorithm of translation techniques and operations. Analytical review of the textbooks allowed the researcher to conclude that V. A. Islentyev was the first person who took notice of Udmurt synonyms and used them while translating sentences in exercises and texts. The study investigates the originality of V. A. Islentyev's calligraphy and spelling.

Author(s): Valentina Brio / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2005
In the rich collection of publications of the 19th century in the library of Vilnius University there are many books with autographs. It's about one of them. It contains not only the autograph of the author - a gift inscription, but also a lengthy entry of the addressee. These materials, which seem to be remarkable for the history of Russian culture, have not yet been introduced into scientific circulation, which has determined the present publication.
Ф. М. Достоевский в документах рукописного фонда Государственного музея истории российской литературы имени В. И. Даля
Author(s): Anna V. Petrova / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2019
The article presents an overview of the materials about F. M. Dostoevsky from the collection of his wife A. G. Dostoevskaya, who in May 1906 gave them for eternal storage in Moscow. Since the middle of the 20th century the documents have been partially kept in the Manuscript Department of the State Museum of the history of Russian literature named after Vladmir Dahl (State Literary Museum). The most valuable are the letters of F. M. Dostoevsky and other visual materials related to the main events of the writer's life. All these documents have preserved the memory of the life of the great writer, the uniqueness of his personality. Text documents of the Fund systematically and fully represent newspaper criticism of F. M. Dostoevsky in the period from 1846 to 1914 and selectively, at the level of individual articles, the history of the study of the biography and work of the writer in the 20th century. The Dostoevsky Manuscript Fund is enriched with a plentiful collection of the Fund of visual documents, among others photographs, portraits of Fyodor Dostoevsky and persons from his entourage, collected by A. G. Dostoevskaya.
Ф. М. Достоевский в переписке Е. А. Штакеншнейдер с Я. П. Полонским
Author(s): Anna Indzinskaya / Language(s): English,Russian / Issue: 4/2019
Elena Andreevna Stackenschneider (1836–1897), memoirist and hostess of the literary and art salon in St. Petersburg in the 1870s — early 1880s, was keeping records on F. M. Dostoevsky and his creative work for 25 years (1860–1885). She used to remark his public speeches, describe his appearance and habits, give a critical assessment of his writings, and tried to identify the features of his artistic world, never doubting the magnitude of his talent. The unpublished correspondence of Yakov Polonsky with Elena Stakenschneider, as well as previously unpublished fragments of the diaries of the latter, made it possible to clarify the facts of the biography of Fyodor Dostoevsky and to enrich the collection of vital criticisms and evidence of his activities and creative work. Thanks to her meticulous and longstanding work in accumulating materials and keeping memoirs, her deep analysis of Dostoevsky's genius whose underlying message consists in Christian axiology, it is possible to consider this woman one of the first female researchers of the writer's creation. The example of E. A. Stackenschneider evidentiates how despite the negative criticism grew up the number of sympathizers of her ideas who aspired to keep the image and heritage of their great compatriot for the descendants.

The topic of financial relations of F. M. Dostoevsky with his numerous creditors has not been yet exposed to a comprehensive study. Neither the exact total amount of the writer's debt, nor the amount of his debts to particular individuals or to what extent those were repaid by him, are known for certain. A detailed study of Dostoevsky's heavy debt obligations in the mid-1860s as well as their weigh on the writer for almost all his life, may become promising for future researchers. This article presents the analysis of the letters of one of the writer's creditors, a publisher and public figure L. F. Panteleev, as well as of his father-in-law V. N. Latkin, industrialist and researcher of the Russian North. These documents, dating back to the mid-1860s, make it possible to clarify some data on the numerous debt obligations of Dostoevsky at that time, to consider the relationship (both personal and financial) between two contemporaries — L. F. Panteleev and F. M. Dostoevsky, and also to make more clear the involvement of Latkin. Despite the fact that the communication between the publisher and the writer in the mid-1860s was not durable, the relationship between them can be described as completely trusting and friendly. The facts obtained from their letters to the writer, correlated with information from Dostoevsky's extant account books and notebooks of that time as well as Panteleev's memoirs, supplement the general picture of the financial situation of the writer in the mid-1860s.

Author(s): Radoje Šoškic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 49/2/2012
The present paper strives to analyse the works and ideas of three authors F. M. Dostoevsky ("Legend of the Grand Inquisitor"), Simone Weil (The Need for Roots), and Stojan Steve Tesich (On the open road) in the light of their struggle for reviving man's primordial forms of conscience and consciousness which will help humanity regain ability to resist religious and ethical mutations of the present era. These authors believe that the official religious institutions of Christian church, having cast away Christ's gospel of brotherly love, have sided with "Him", (as voiced and testified by Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor) the Satan himself, who tempted Christ in the desert by offering him rule over "kingdom of earth" in exchange for Christ's submission. Scientific humanism coupled with Christianity's betrayal of eternal values posited by Christ has stripped man naked of the religious context which gave his life meaning, leaving him/her free falling in the abyss of nihilism. Weil suggests, which is one of her major ideas in The need for Roots, that the cure to the moral plight of modern European humanity resides in its ability to bring back "the spirit of truth", love and grace into modern Christianity, which is in its present state devoid of these evangelical virtues. Weil and Dostoevsky's ideas are shared by Steve Tesich, a Serbian-American screenwriter, playwright and novelist, whose play On the open road is based on Dostoevsky's "Legend of the Grand Inquisitor".
Фабула и сюжет в поэтике А. С. Пушкина
Author(s): Mikhail Viktorovich Stroganov / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2019
Pushkin's works of different genres have three permanent characteristics. The first one resides in the contraposition of the completeness or incompleteness of the text; the second one concerns a subordinate position of the storyline in relation to the subject (the completeness or incompleteness of the writing) and the third particularity is an open composition. All the three features are three sides of the unique law of Pushkin's poetics, which manifested a new stage in the development of historicism in the European aesthetic consciousness. Pushkin depicts life as a process; therefore he uses the artistic techniques that help to embody his idea in specifically artistic forms.

Supply cuts? Think a major technology shift ahead of iPhone 6
Christian Zibreg ∙ January 18, 2013
There has never been so much hoopla surrounding Apple's supply chain like recent talk of a severe cut back in orders of screens for the iPhone 5, and now iPads as well. The negative sentiment in those unverified reports has already sent AAPL below $500 ahead of the impending earnings call.
But one analyst isn't worried at all. In his mind, the cutbacks are the result of an upcoming "evolutionary technology update" for the next iPhone rather than a sign of a lack of demand for the new Apple handset…
According to MacWorld UK, Global Equities Research's Trip Chowdhry says a drop off in Apple screen orders supplied by Sharp, LG Display and Samsung Display is an indication of the Cupertino firm starting to source mobile screens from a new supplier, in preparation for the launch of the next iPhone:
The data is accurate, cancellations are happening – but what is the underlying reason? There is a technology shift happening at Apple.
Chowdhry then adds that Apple is about to launch an "evolutionary leap in phones", likely the iPhone 5S which is expected in a few months.
Also this:
According to Chowdry, Apple has been ordering glass that is also able to be cut into large panels, which could indicate that the company is working on its widely speculated Apple television set.
But what kind of a technology shift is this analyst talking about?
If China Times is right, the next iPhone will have a new Touch-On-Display technology from Foxconn subsidiary Chimei Innolux. Touch-On-Display doesn't make the display assembly any thicker, but instead fixes the slower response speed of the iPhone 5's in-cell panel.
If you've been following supply chain reports, you probably are aware that Apple is rumored to be adopting a new display technology for upcoming products. Corroborating these market whispers, sources told AllThingsD that Apple has been evaluating IGZO displays for use in iOS devices.
Chowdhry acknowledges as much himself:
He expects Apple to introduce IGZO screens into its next iPhone, which will be lighter, more energy-efficient, and easier to cut for different sized models.
And this report by Taiwan-based China Times newspaper says Apple for the second-generation iPad mini is already evaluating Retina panels from Foxconn subsidiary Shenzhen Century Science & Technology, based on the new One Glass Solution assembly process.
If you ask me, deploying a new display tech and assembly process across the forthcoming iPhones and iPads is a pretty good reason to cut orders for the current display technology that's now basically being phased out.
Although a seasonal dip is normal around the holidays and especially going into the sales slump known as post-holiday Q1, the cutbacks Apple's suppliers are now seeing are seemingly impossible to ignore.
On the other hand, lots of doubt surrounds the figures cited in flawed Nikkei and WSJ reports. Seriously, 65 million iPhone 5 units in the quarter right after the holidays? Be that as it may, it's head-scratching Apple would suddenly see such a drastically weakening demand for both the iPhone and iPad, the company's two most popular product lines.
J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz deems the cutbacks for iPhone 5 screens the result of "supply chain adjustments" that are "explainable but not alarming". Other analysts are also telling spooked investors that the cutbacks may not mean lower demand for Apple gizmos.
If you ask me, that's exactly what's at play here: a technological shift ahead of a new product introduction. That would by no means file as a small feat. Adopting the cutting-edge IGZO screen tech, for example, across future iOS devices would admittedly file as a marvel of engineering.
These cutbacks happened numerous times in the past, but nobody paid much attention. With Tim Cook at Apple's helm and the past two quarters missing expectations, some folks are reading too much into these reports.
As Apple is now scrutinized like crazy, inevitably some watchers are fooled into misinterpreting supply chain data. And I have no doubt in my mind that somewhere in these reports there is a hidden agenda (can you say "stock manipulation"?).
Are you concerned about the cutbacks?

Frost: Detention of fleeing immigrants isn't worth the price
U.S. immigration policy punishes families, rewards private prisons and bilks American taxpayers.
By Amanda Frost
Updated 7:12 pm CDT, Thursday, March 19, 2015
No one should be making money off the incarceration of children. But this is business-as-usual right now in Texas, where the United States government has expanded our nation's detention centers to confine women and children who have fled Central America in the hope of obtaining asylum here. These facilities are operated by the Corrections Corporation of America, the world's largest for-profit prison corporation, which has been granted lucrative contracts to house these detainees.
Detention is an expensive proposition. It costs between $122 and $164 per day to detain an immigrant. That means that the creation of the new 2,400-bed facility in Dilley, will cost U.S. taxpayers approximately $300,000 per day, or $100 million per year.
Detention might be worth the price tag if it protected the public against dangerous individuals, or was necessary to ensure that asylum seekers would not go into hiding to skip their court dates. But neither reason can justify the incarceration of immigrant women and children in Texas. The vast majority of women who cross the border with their young children have no criminal record, and pose no national security risk. (Indeed, to the contrary, many are fleeing the criminal gangs that have terrorized their countries). Experience teaches that most of these asylum seekers will show up in court, and the government has never produced any evidence to suggest otherwise.
'Credible fear' issues
For just these reasons, Federal District Court Judge James Boasberg last month halted the government's blanket denial of bond to women and children who have shown a "credible fear" of persecution back home. Boasberg found that the government could offer no valid justification locking up these families while they awaited a final decision on their asylum claims.
Until last summer, as the judge explained, the U.S. government did not routinely detain families who were found to have a credible fear of persecution. Instead, after an individualized assessment of their danger to the community and flight risk, most were released on bond to live in the United States while they awaited adjudication of their asylum claims. But then in June 2014, in response to the influx of women and children fleeing gang violence and crossing the southwestern border, the U.S. adopted an unprecedented "No-Release Policy."
According to the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement's own statistics, it released only 32 of the 2,602 individuals booked into a family residential center between June 1, 2104 and Dec. 6, 2014.
So if the costs are high and the benefits illusory, why did the government choose to incarcerate these women and children and deny them bond? One reason is that the government wanted to discourage other would-be asylum seekers from coming to the U.S. But as Boasberg explained, it violates both federal immigration laws and the U.S. Constitution to incarcerate people who have committed no crime, and who are not a danger to the community, with the goal of deterring others.
(I would say that is equivalent to locking people up indefinitely for speeding in the hope of deterring would-be speeders, except that the analogy is inapt. Although speeding is illegal, noncitizens have the legal right to come to the United States to seek asylum. Deterring these people from exercising their legal rights is not a valid reason for locking anyone up, and certainly not children.)
Private prisons lobbying
There is another incentive for expanding immigration detention: money. It should come as no surprise to learn that the private prison industry has lobbied heavily in favor of increasing the numbers of immigrants held in detention. For-profit prisons such as the Corrections Corporation of America and The GEO Group make money every time the U.S. decides to incarcerate another mother and her toddlers.
The Detention Watch Network reports that the average daily population of detained immigrants has grown from 5,000 in 1994, to 19,000 in 2001, and to more than 33,000 by 2010. Not surprisingly, spending on detention has also increased exponentially, from $864 million seven years ago to around $1.9 billion today. (Last year the U.S. government spent $18 billion on immigration enforcement, including the costs of detention, which is more than on all other federal law enforcement agencies combined.)
Private prison corporations have reaped the rewards. For example, CCA's stock price has risen from about $1 per share in 2000 to $40 per share today.
This country must end its policy of needlessly detaining families seeking asylum. Whether the costs of immigration detention are measured in terms of the psychological damage to incarcerated children or the financial burden borne by U.S. taxpayers, they are too high.

All the men in my family were bearded, and most of the women.
Dentists, lawyers, doctors are all a bunch of thieving bastards.
Happiness means quiet nerves.
Will, will
I believe in tying the marriage knot, as long as it's around the woman's neck.
Hate, hate, prejudice.
I hear the tusks are looser in Alabama.
I seldom took a drink on the set before 9 a.m.
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
It's hard to tell where Hollywood ends and the D.T.'s begin.
Marriage is better than leprosy because it's easier to get rid of.

Shirin Neshat || Land of Dreams
Shirin Neshat 20 February - 31 May 2020 Goodman Gallery, London
Goodman Gallery London
20 February – 31 March 2020
Goodman Gallery presents Land of Dreams, the UK premiere of Shirin Neshat's most recent body of work and the renowned artist's first solo exhibition in London in two decades. The exhibition follows Neshat's most extensive retrospective to date at The Broad in Los Angeles.
Over the past three decades, Neshat has produced some of the most arresting imagery in contemporary art. The Iranian-born New York-based artist has dedicated her practice to progressing understandings of the religious and political forces of power that shapes human existence and has gained a reputation as one of the most significant artists working today.
Essential to Neshat's practice is her unique point of view. As a young adult, the artist experienced the Iranian Islamic revolution and the rise of radical Islam in the 1970s. Her position as an Iranian woman who has lived – in exile – in America since the 1990s has fueled a desire to bring nuance to dominant binary narratives, such as Islam versus Feminism. Seminal early works, such as the Women of Allah (1994) photographic series, video installations Turbulent (1998) and Rapture (1999) and Neshat's first feature film Women Without Men (2009) have challenged these assumptions.
Land of Dreams marks a pivot in Neshat's gaze towards the "Western World" and opens the newest chapter in her practice. The exhibition comprises a portion of the 100+ photographic portraits and two video installations. For the first time, both mediums converge into one immersive experience to present a portrait of contemporary America under the Trump administration.
For the artist, America is on the verge of a paradigm shift: "We are seeing a reshuffling of the cards of power and its players. With the rise of white supremacy and the present threat against immigrants, I now turn my lens towards my host country, America. This new series of work investigates how these changes ultimately rupture individual lives".
The video installations take a characteristically surrealist approach, led by black and white visuals of vast landscapes and domestic scenes with minimal dialogue.
First we follow Simin, an estranged Iranian photographer, who travels through rural America knocking on citizens' doors to shoot their portraits and to document their dreams.
For the second video, we enter the clinical dystopian interiors of a bureaucratic Iranian colony housed within the mountains. Here Simin's portraits and dream documents are logged and analysed by the protagonist alongside fellow Iranians in lab coats.
Combining striking imagery with political satire, the videos evoke a shared humanity among those living under social, political and economic injustice. The series also deepens Neshat's long- standing interest in the duality between the ephemeral nature of dreams and the tangibility of political issues.
The Land of Dreams project was shot in New Mexico in 2019. Of the one hundred portraits created, over sixty are included in the London presentation.
The photographic portraits represent the photographs that the fictional protagonist Simin would have taken during her interviews. They capture the diversity of American identities, including Native Americans, African Americans and Hispanics of varying ages and genders. A number of the portraits are inscribed with hand-written Farsi calligraphy, which annotates the subjects' dreams or notes their name, place and date of birth.
Land of Dreams marks the artist's first solo exhibition in London since The Serpentine in 2000, which brought her iconic early work to UK and European audiences.
Over the past twenty years, Neshat has created large bodies of work as well as feature films, including Looking For Oum Kulthum (2017), which was screened at London's British Museum in 2018, and Women Without Men (2009), which won her the best director award at the Venice Film Festival that year. In 2018, Neshat unveiled her portrait of Pakistani education activist Malala Yousazai at The National Portrait Gallery.
In addition to directing the opera Aida at the Salzburg Festival in 2017, the artist has had a series of major international exhibitions over the years. These include a recent retrospective at The Broad in Los Angeles (2019- 2020) as well as solo exhibitions at Museo Correr in Venice (2017); Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C (2015); Stedelijk Museum CS, Amsterdam (2006) and Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum Fur (2005).
Neshat has been the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the Praemium Imperiale Award in Tokyo (2017), the Crystal Award, World Economic Forum, in Davos, Switzerland (2014), the Silver Lion, 66th Venice Film Festival (2009) and the First International Prize at the 48th Venice Biennale (1999).

Shirin Neshat (b. 1957, Qazvin, Iran) completed her education in the USA in 1974, five years later the Islamic Revolution prevented her from returning to her home country for almost twenty years. Her personal experiences as a Muslim woman in exile have informed her practice in which she employs photography, video installation, cinema and performance to explore political structures that have shaped the history of Iran and other Middle Eastern nations. Neshat portrays the alienation of women in repressive Muslim societies interrogating the role reserved for women Islamic value systems. In her practice, she employs poetic imagery to engage with themes of gender and society, the individual and the collective, and the dialectical relationship between past and present, through the lens of her experiences of belonging and exile.
She has mounted numerous solo exhibitions at museums internationally, including: the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C.; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; the Serpentine Gallery, London; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; and the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal. Recent solo exhibitions include: Kunstraum Dornbirn, Austria; Faurschou Foundation, Copenhagen; Kunsthalle Tübingen, Germany; and Museo Correr, Italy, which was an official corollary event to the 57th Biennale di Venezia in 2017. A major retrospective of her work was exhibited at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 2013. Neshat was awarded the Golden Lion Award, the First International Prize at the 48th Biennale di Venezia (1999), the Hiroshima Freedom Prize (2005), and the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize (2006). In 2009, Neshat directed her first feature-length film, Women Without Men, which received the Silver Lion Award for "Best Director" at the 66th Venice International Film Festival. Dreamers marked her first solo show on the African continent, which exhibited at Goodman Gallery Johannesburg in 2016. That same year, Neshat featured in the New Revolutions: Goodman Gallery at 50 exhibition in Johannesburg and in the Summers group exhibition at Goodman Gallery Cape Town. In 2017, Neshat was awarded the prestigious Praemium Imperiale award for Painting. That same year, Neshat directed Giuseppe Verdi's Aida at the Salzburg.

This book, Drying and Wetting of Building Materials and Components, provides a collection of recent contributions in the field of drying and wetting in porous building materials. The main benefit of the book is that it discusses some of the most important topics related to the drying and wetting processes, namely, innovations and trends in drying science and technology, drying mechanism and theory, equipment, advanced modelling, complex simulation and experimentation. At the same time, these topics will be going to the encounter of a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. The book is divided in several chapters that intend to be a resume of the current state of knowledge for benefit of professional colleagues.

'I don't want to be arrogant, it's unbelievable to win these races': Annemiek van Vleuten unbeaten since World Championships
The Dutch star has extended her winning streak to five races

Annemiek van Vleuten has returned from the season break utterly dominant, as she has extended her winning streak to five races.
The Mitchelton-Scott rider is undefeated since the 2019 World Championships in Yorkshire, after she took a clean sweep of wins in Spain as racing returned last week.
After a five-month lay-off due to coronavirus, the women's peloton returned to racing on Thursday (July 23) with a trio of one-day races in the Navarre region of Spain, with 37-year-old Van Vleuten taking solo victories in all three.
She said: "I don't want to be arrogant, it's unbelievable for me to win these races. I never believed this would have happened.
"To win every race in the [World Champion's] jersey; for sure I can't keep this record but for now it's nice. At first, they wanted to interview me about the curse of the rainbow jersey, but I am really happy I don't have that curse."
Van Vleuten's winning streak started with her 100km solo break during the World Championships last September and continued with her first race of 2020 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, which she won alone 42 seconds ahead of Marta Bastianelli (Alé BTC Ljubljana).
The coronavirus pandemic then stopped all racing shortly after, but racing returned with the Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa in the Navarre region of Spain on Thursday (July 23), with Van Vleuten taking victory 18 seconds ahead of Mavi Garcia (Alé BTC Ljubljana).
The following day Van Vleuten rode away from her rivals again in the Clasica Femenina to finish 1-14 up on Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo).
Sunday saw Van Vleuten do battle with her compatriot and rival Anna van der Breggen (Boels-Dolmans) in the Durango-Durango Emakumeen Saria with the reigning world champion crossing the line 18 seconds ahead.
Van Vleuten said: "Anna was just behind me between 10 and 15 seconds so I had to go full gas on the descent. I had a bit of a flashback to La Course and last year in the Giro, so it was a really interesting fight between Anna and me. I could not relax on the descent or really enjoy it, but it was a beautiful final."

Gao Zhisheng, a missing Chinese lawyer, has been honoured with an international human rights award from the American Bar Association (ABA). With Mr Gao missing in China, his 17-year-old daughter Grace accepted the International Human Rights Lawyer Award on his behalf at an event held in San Francisco on Friday, August 6th.
The annual award is given to lawyers well-known for taking on human rights cases and who have in turn, suffered persecution because of their efforts.
Coming from an impoverished background, Mr Gao was self-educated and would go on to be described by Chinese officials as one of China's ten best lawyers. A dedicated Christian, he was well known for his work in assisting China's poor and marginalised but he met the wrath of Chinese state security once he began defending the rights of persecuted Falun Gong practitioners.
"Because of that work, his law licence was taken from him in 2005," said an ABA posting on the International Law Prof Blog. "In 2006, he was charged with subversion and sentenced to house arrest. In 2007, just before the Olympics, he wrote a letter to the US Congress to explain the human rights situation. He was arrested and reportedly tortured for a period of almost 60 days," said the ABA posting.
Mr Gao's current whereabouts are unknown and there are concerns for his well-being and safety. In 2007 the English translation of his memoir A China More Just was published, and in 2007, 2008, and 2010, Mr Gao was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
In December last year ABA President Carolyn B Lamm wrote to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton describing the conditions that lawyers face in China and asked the US State Department to step up its activities to help protect Chinese lawyers.
With more than 400,000 members, the American Bar Association is the largest voluntary professional association in the world.


A post on the University of Nevada Las Vegas Libraries' Blog announced the release of a collection of 14,000,000 tweets relating to the mass shooting that occurred at the 2017 Route 91 music festival. The post details the work of Thomas Padilla, Miranda Barrie, and other UNLV Libraries staff and describes some of the complexity of collecting, understanding, and making accessible a dataset of this nature and scale.
In a series of posts to follow, Miranda and Thomas will share stories, resources, and more for librarians, researchers, and members of the community. While the full dataset is only directly available for download at UNLV, public tweet identifiers and more information about the data can be found in the Collection Guide in the UNLV LIbraries Digital Collections.
dh+lib readers will be interested in the issues and sensitivities surrounding the practices of collecting, preserving, and providing access to such a dataset and should stay tuned for future posts in the series.

A: If you want to submit your <form> in such a way that targets to a request like this
https://www.mysite.com/availability/?from=facebook&date_start=2011-08-10&date_end=2011-08-11"

I'd suggest putting all those fields you have outside the <form> tag, and include only <input type="hidden"> fields in it, so that they are the ones posted when you submit it.
All attributes in the form (in this case the three hidden ones) will be automatically appended to the requested URL (the one in the action attribute in the <form>).
You can make up the start_date and end_date fields with javascript in an onclick event handler in the <input type="submit">

<form action="https://www.mysite.com/availability/" method="GET">
    <input type="hidden" name="from" value="facebook">
    <input type="hidden" name="date_start" id="date_start">
    <input type="hidden" name="date_end" id="date_end">
    <input type="submit" onclick="makeUpDates()">
</form>

A: what i would recommend i to actually use a 'submit' button in this instance, since you have so many pieces of data that need to be set BEFORE the request goes to the server.  (also, format your code better so it's more readable.  this alone will do more to help you develop your code more easily.
the process appears to be 'set a bunch of dropdowns and fire those settings off to server'.  so do exactly that.  i'd get rid of the onChange events in your select lists and just drive a single JavaScript function from the 'submit' button that just reads what the select dropdowns are set to, dumps them into and HTTPRequest and sends it to whatever PHP script is running on the server.
bing, bang, boom, you're done.  if the server sends a response, then deal with that separately.

Bradley wraps up Homecoming fiesta
Homecoming 2009, dubbed "Fiesta de Bradley" stretched from Sept. 30 to Oct. 4 with many events including the Founder's Day ceremony, Alpha Epsilon Pi's Foamcoming, Late Night BU and a tailgate party and pep rally that took place before the soccer game against Drake University.
A few of the events were especially popular amongst students, such as Foamcoming.
"They passed out plastic baggies for people to carry their cell phones in so that they wouldn't get wet," sophomore history major Andrew Pasko said. "They also passed out T-shirts, and that was a good idea because who doesn't like free T-shirts?"
For some extra safety measures at the event, someone manned the door as security to check identification and make sure only Bradley students were admitted. The event was alcohol-free, and that way there was less of a chance for people to get hurt in the foam.
"The only bad thing about Foamcoming was that it was kind of cold out, so after I was all wet from the foam, the cold from outside intensified the cold from the foam," Pasko said. "Luckily, I was able to go to a friend's house and change my clothes directly afterward."
Another popular event during Homecoming was the tailgate party and pep rally that took place before the men's soccer game at Shea Stadium.
"The Activities Council of Bradley University, or ACBU, brought some inflatables," sophomore elementary education fine arts major Crystal Rains said. "There were a lot of different booths set up with different activities at each."
Students were able to grab some of the all-you-can-eat nachos and tacos from the alumni who were serving food, as well as listen to the band Mike and Joe, which played for several hours. Afterward, the Bradley cheerleaders did their pregame pep rally.
"It was pretty fun despite all the rain," Rains said. "People were still going down the slide even though it was soaking wet."
Directly after the end of the tailgate party was the soccer game against Drake. Unfortunately, the Braves lost 1-3, but students said the game was still fun to watch.
"It was raining on and off throughout the entire game," Rains said. "But it was a lot of fun. Drake was just scoring really crazy goals. Nobody scored after the first half of the game, though."
During halftime, the Homecoming court winners were announced. Kathleen McGing was announced as queen, and Max Kerr was announced as king.
After the soccer game was the second Late Night BU of this year. There were several new activities at this event, and the mechanical bull, inflatable slide, custom trucker hats and airbrush tattoos seemed to be especially popular amongst students.
"All in all, I really enjoyed the two events I went to, Foamcoming and Late Night BU, as a sober alternative to normal weekend activities," Pasko said.

Decklar and its co-venturer Millenium Oil & Gas Company Limited ("Millenium") have received the first payment for the sale of crude oil from the Oza Oil Field since recommencement of operations. Decklar and Millenium have now increased production from the Oza Oil Field to a total rate of approximately 1,300 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") following the restart of production at approximately 900 bopd from the Oza-1 well and new production at approximately 400 bopd following minor repairs to the Oza-4 well. Trucking of oil has continued from the Oza Field to the Edo Refinery and Petrochemicals Company Limited ("ERPC") in Edo State, Nigeria. Decklar and Millenium have issued another invoice for delivery of 5,000 barrels of crude oil ("bbls") to ERPC under the recently signed 30,000 bbls crude sale agreement., and initial payment for previous deliveries totaling 10,000 bbls has now been received. CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Decklar Resources Inc. (TSX-V: DKL) (OTCQX: DKLRF) (FSE: A1U1) (the "Company" or "Decklar") and its co-venturer Millenium are pleased to provide updates regarding oil production and delivery operations at the Oza Oil Field in Nigeria. Restart of Production from the Oza-4 Well Decklar and Millenium have recommenced production from the Oza Oil Field at a total production rate of approximately 1,300 bopd. The Oza-1 well is currently producing approximately 900 bopd of 22 API crude oil on a 20/64 inch choke with wellhead pressure of 400 psi and 2.5% BS&W. Following successful minor repairs, the Oza-4 well has been opened and restarted with current production averaging approximately 400 bopd on a 24/64 inch choke at wellhead pressure of 1,300 psi with 0.01% BS&W. Trucking of Crude Oil to Edo Refinery Trucking of oil from the Oza Field is ongoing to the ERPC facility in Edo State, Nigeria. Ten trucks are currently in operation and are capable of delivering approximately 2,500 bbls every four days. Additional trucks are expected to be contracted over the next few weeks to increase delivery capacity. Receipt of Funds for First Oil Sale Decklar and Millenium have received payment on the first invoice for delivered crude under the 10,000 bbls sale agreement with ERPC. The Company has now issued an invoice for delivery of the first 5,000 bbls as part of the 30,000 bbl sale agreement with ERPC with payment expected in approximately three weeks. With continued production and delivery of crude oil it is expected that regular billing and receipts of sales proceeds will occur. Sanmi Famuyide, CEO of Decklar Resources, said, "We are extremely pleased to announce that we received the first payment for Oza field production since the involvement of Decklar and that we have recommenced production from the Oza Field at a rate of approximately 1,300 bopd. The reopening of Oza-4 went very smoothly and the lighter crude produced allows us achieve a crude oil blend with the Oza-1 production that will enable the Company and our co-venturer Millenium to ramp up deliveries of oil to market in the very near future. Additionally, trucking operations to deliver oil to the ERPC facility are running steadily and we are moving into a routine cycle of delivering and selling material quantities of crude oil."

Dog is perfect for youth who are interested in learning more about dogs, how to care for a dog, and how to train a dog in basic or advanced commands. The dog project is unique and not meant to conform to AKC dog show or other professional standards. Although beginners do not need to own a dog to participate in the first level of the project, the more advanced levels do require dog ownership. Each level may take up to three years to complete. Youth can sign up for Dog Obedience and Dog/Agility to supplement their learning experience but must enroll in Level 1, 2 or 3.
In level 1, the activities are for those who may or may not have a dog of their own, but want to learn more. If you don't have a dog, some of the activities in this level may help you decide whether you want to make the commitment to own and care for a dog. You will learn about basic care, training, breeds, parts of the dog, and how to keep a dog healthy and groomed.
You may take up to three years to complete this level. You must complete a minimum of seven activities and three learning experiences each year to complete the project.
Level 2 offers opportunities and challenges to explore a wide range of activities related to dogs. Dog ownership is necessary to participate in this level. You will explore more about dog health, nutrition, care, genetic problems, population control, showmanship, training, ethics and budgeting.
You must complete a minimum of seven activities and five learning experiences each year to complete this project.
In this level, you will focus on advanced skills in dog training and management. By this level, you may be ready to compete in AKC trials. You will investigate responsible breeding, diseases, caring for geriatric dogs, training, service dogs, dog roles and careers related to dogs. You will also be presented with many leadership opportunities.
You must complete a minimum of seven activities and five learning experiences each year to complete this project. It may take as many as three years for you to complete this level.
Dog Helpers Guide BU8169 Group games and activities provide helpers with ideas for facilitating learning. Service learning opportunities are encouraged. Training activities and resources are highlighted.

The Art of Perfume Ads: Écusson by Jean d'Albert
Posted by Jessica in Advertising and Scent
This advertisement for Écusson by Jean d'Albret (1947, now discontinued) set off an art historical spark in my memory.
The unknown artist who worked on this ad for Écusson (which translates as "shield") was obviously inspired by Hans Holbein the Younger's portrait of Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry the Eighth…
…and there she is. The original portrait dates to 1536-37. (Seymour died from complications after childbirth in October 1537.) Holbein emphasized Seymour's likeness as well as her opulent gown and her various jeweled ornaments. This style of headdress, I've just learned, is known as a "gable hood."
The Écusson advertisement gave its female figure a more conventionally attractive face, by 1950s standards, but it kept many details of Seymour's gown, hood, and pendants (gold, rubies, pearls—fit for a Queen).
I'm certainly not an expert on sixteenth-century English portraits, but I've also just learned that Holbein's portrait was the probable source for the so-called "Nidd Hall Portrait" of Anne Boleyn, Henry's second wife, pictured above.
(Since most original portraits of Boleyn were destroyed upon the occasion of her execution for treason, new ones were created later on.)
I thought I'd include it since we've been having another revival of interest in Anne Boleyn since the publication of Hilary Mantel's novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies (and the excellent television series starring Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell and Damian Lewis as Henry VIII).

Exercise. It's something that a large percentage of the population recognizes as a crucial aspect of health and wellness. We choose exercises based on our interests and, often, on our physical abilities and current level of fitness. As we get full swing into a new year, this is a great time to revisit your commitment to exercise, and also to think about all the ways that your body can be activated for optimal physical performance. Just as the rest of your body gains from working out, so do your eyes.
The mere idea of exercising the eyes may sound completely senseless. Then, it may sound difficult. We're going to make it easy by offering a few suggestions on how you can stretch and work the muscles that support eyesight.
The more we take in, the better we are able to read our environment; the better we can respond to external stimuli. Being able to see what is beside you, either right beside you or at a distance, is important to your overall safety and performance. You can support your peripheral vision just by paying attention to it. The way you do this is by taking mental note of what you see in your periphery either when you are looking straight forward, or when you are glancing to the side without turning your head.
Stretching out your arms, legs, or back is one thing. It's easy. But your eyes? This seems like quite the challenge! Actually, it's not. And, stretching your eyes can help you more quickly home in on objects that are far from you as easily as you can those that are close by. The way that your eyes get stretched is by simply looking at objects at various distances. Start closer, and gradually move away until you are observing an object at the farthest possible distance without losing its clarity.
While the performance of eye exercises does not necessarily mean that you won't have to wear glasses someday, or that you will avoid age-related eye diseases, it can mean that your visual acuity stays sharper than it would otherwise. This can help you on the court, on the field, or in the car.
Is it time for your eye exam? Call our Houston office at 713-668-7337.


Earlier, we reported that the seventh season would be the last for Rizzoli & Isles.
Brown will reportedly play CJ Prescott, "a 'brash and blustery' U.S. Postal Inspector" in the new season, which will premiere sometime this summer.
The season six finale of Rizzoli & Isles airs next week on March 15th.
What do you think? Do you watch Rizzoli & Isles? Do you like Yvette Nicole Brown? Will you watch the final season?
ANOTHER GOOD SHOW BEING CANCELED. ROYAL PAINS AND RIZZOLI AND ISLES. FOR ALL THE JUNK SHOWS LIKE REALITY JUNK SHOWS. PLEASE RETHINK THESE 2 SHOWS. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
From here on out I will just consider anything fromTNT & Hallmark to be a mini-series. These networks just aren't long-distance runners anymore.
Love Rizzoli, Isles, Angela, Korsack, the whole cast. I will miss it for sure. I think TNT is ******** up by dumping this show.
Really, the whole cast, I think that is one of the main reasons they are getting the axe because they way overuse the B characters and most could care less about Korsak, Angela, Frankie, Nina, Kiki, Ron. The writers can't seem to gt Jane and Maura right anymore and are way underusing Maura. But, hey, I guess you like the ensemble, one is as good as another.
I agree, about TNT… But let's also include ABC the station notorious about dropping good family viewing and renewing horrible crap! I almost never watch ABC because of that. I love RIZZOLI & ISLES & all the cast members, too and will be very sad to see it end.
But who the heck is Yvette Nicole Brown?
Wow what did I write to warrant being censored? I never use profanity on my replies.
The profanity filter we use is a bit flawed. You used the word scr ewing which really shouldn't be a problem. Finding a replacement for the filter has been a challenge.
Can't deal with this show ending. Just love it and the wonderful cast. Missing it already.
Leaving on a high note doesn't make sense. Thank goodness the producers of NCIS don't think like that..thirteen seasons and still going strong. You are foolishly not renewing a really good show. Besides those of us who love the show no cast, you are putting very good actors out of work.
