"For a Secret Teaching, They Sure Do Write A Lot About It" – Is There a Gurdjieff Studies or only a Gurdjieff Industry?
February 27, 2015 /6 Comments/in Features /by David Pecotic
In David Robertson's interview with Professor Carole Cusack of the University of Sydney and Steven Sutcliffe, Senior Lecturer in the Study of Religion at the University of Edinburgh, the Religious Studies Project has curated a rich and wide-ranging discussion introducing – if David and Chris' evident excitement during the podcast is any indication – an increasingly receptive audience of the next generation of scholars to critical approaches to Gurdjieff and the study of religions, an embarrassment of riches against which I now have the great but difficult fortune of contributing some of my own observations from the field. The interview is based on their February 2015 special issue of the Journal for the Academic Study of Religion on Gurdjieff and his followers and the book they are now writing on the subject.
As it's not every day an 'independent scholar' who is invited to write about their narrow area of expertise is gifted with such an obvious self-reflexive starting point in order to begin with both disclosure and gratitude, I hope I can be forgiven quoting myself being quoted by one of the great contributors to religious studies, Carole Cusack:
"My former Ph.D. student David Pecotic who did a Ph.D. on Gurdjieff's cosmology … used to say, the article he was living to write was 'If Gurdjieffians are supposed to be so secretive, why the hell do they write so much?' – and it really is true …"
This is not that article, but it is a question I hope they will address in their book. What I want to do here is to focus on the three themes raised in the interview that I think are the most bound up in whatever the answer to this question may look like – category formation/disciplinary boundaries of 'Gurdjieff studies'; the epistemological problems/solutions of archival study of esotericism in the digital age; and the way academia is inescapably enmeshed in the 'Gurdjieff industry', i.e., revelations of primary sources that occur in the inevitable sectarian conflicts that arise in heterodox 'invented traditions.'
Category formation/disciplinary boundaries – will the 'real' Gurdjieff please stand up?
While there is little disagreement as to the basic content of Gurdjieff's spiritual teaching, there is currently no concrete proposal about the place of Gurdjieff within the broadly scientific study of religions. Various categories have been or are currently on offer; leaving aside the old saw of
his soteriological mission to be able to consciously act as a different person to better 'match' different people. To approach in an integrated way a man that was, among other things, a composer, choreographer, author, paranormal powers, just to name a few, would require a more sustained inter-disciplinary and collaborative approach in the future, and Sutcliffe and Cusack's current collaboration are steps in the right direction.
The epistemology of esoteric archives – the source(code) of and solution to the category problem
As definitions and theories rely on availability of evidence, archival access and what counts as a primary source (and who gets to decide) is a consequential problem. I agree with their observations regarding basic chronology and the epistemological problems implicit in relying on practitioners for publication of and access to esoteric archives. Yet it was their brief point about the effect of the internet that resonated more for me as a researcher. An esoteric field is no longer about scarcity but abundance. Researchers increasingly have the opposite problem of managing an accelerating quantity of primary source materials. Indeed, there is a need for critical editions if only to better deal with the proliferation of online document access to which both scholars and practitioners alike find increasingly difficult to quality control I would argue that digital technologies began to turn the tide of access in 2004 when the Gurdjieff bibliographer J. Walter Driscoll moved from the print version of his standard reference to the online publication 'Gurdjieff – A Reading Guide'. Even the more 'orthodox', hierarchical groups that teach Gurdjieffian principles and exercises in a formalised manner have taken to the Internet via the Gurdjieff International Review. But there are also crowdsourced domains like The Gurdjieff Internet Guide which despite being officially 'retired' in 2012, has 10, 000 visits a month and continues to be an online archive for even the wilder engagement.
Cusack was right to highlight the recent publication flurry of new source material on Gurdjieffian practices, something that has been a special focus of my research (akin to Jay Johnston's interview on the 'The Subtle Body' and David Gordon White's response) such as
ed what amounts to a 'Gurdjieff industry.' While it is important that institutions like Yale University Library have archived the Thomas de Hartmann Papers, Maurice Nicoll Papers, P. D. Ouspensky Memorial Collection, it also represents a lost opportunity for the reconstitution of a more critical study of Gurdjieff in the context of the digital humanities which can enable more critical cross-fertilisation if not deeper ethnographic collaboration between scholars and practitioners.
The industrial struggle of the magicians and unweaving the wicked Webb
There are also demographic and generational reasons why previously secreted Gurdjieffian source materials are coming online apace. As Johanna Petsche, another former Ph.D. student of Cusack's has pointed out, dramatic changes were made by Jeanne de Salzmann after Gurdjieff's death, when hierarchical 'Foundation' groups emerged that subsequently formalised Gurdjieffian principles and exercises. As Cusack noted, de Salzmann was the first Gurdjieffian and not Gurdjieff. Not all of Gurdjieff's followers amalgamated into this network; an assortment of Gurdjieff-based groups remained outside of it. It is these 'independent' and 'fringe' groups that are experiencing the most rapid growth and reform; the more orthodox groups are literally being 'outbred.'
It is in this context that 'insider' scholars like insider/outsider process — "where one stands determines what one sees and what one can know" Capps (1995: 334-5). Similar explosions of understanding have occurred in analogous new fields: Wouter Hanegraff (in a previous RSP interview) has described Western esotericism as 'one of the biggest last undiscovered niches in the academic study of religions.' For all the above reasons, Gurdjieff may be the next in the field to be discovered. I look forward with keen interest to any critical reflections on my own observations, as well as to Sutcliffe and Cusack's contributions in the light of themes I hope they will be able to investigate.

Gurdjieff and the Study of Contemporary Religion
February 23, 2015 /6 Comments/in Podcasts /by Carole Cusack Steven Sutcliffe David G. Robertson
George Ivanovich Gurdjieff was born around 1866 in Russia and came to prominence in the inter-war years in Europe and the US as a "spiritual teacher" or proto-New Age guru. As well as a complex cosmology, Gurdjieff taught that the average human being was literally asleep, and that "waking up" required a great deal of work and "conscious suffering" His work was continued by his pupils following his death in 1949, and a number of books on his teachings remain in print today. To discuss his importance to the study of religion, David Robertson speaks to two remarkable scholars, Carole Cusack of the University of Sydney, and Steven Sutcliffe of the University of Edinburgh.
We discuss Gurdjieff's image as a "guru"; how deliberate was it, and where did he learn about the Eastern teachers he modelled himself upon? We discuss how much we should treat Gurdjieff as a sui generis "special case", as Gurdjieffian scholars have tended to, or whether we would be better to treat him as a type, like Blavatksy, Steiner, Crowley and others. This then turns the discussion to the issues of researching figures like Gurdjieff whose legacies (and archives) are tightly controlled by their followers, and who often aren't seen as worthy of study by the academy and publishers. We conclude with a consideration of Gurdjieff's importance (or lack thereof) on the later New Age milieu, and popular culture more broadly.
And did Robert Fripp hire Toy Levin for King Crimson because he looks like Gurdjieff?

Religious Artefacts of the Contemporary World

Religious Artefacts of the Contemporary World: Intention and Reception of Anthroposophical and Gurdjieffian Art Forms
By Dr Johanna Petsche, University of Sydney
Published by the Religious Studies Project on 25 September 2013 in response to the Religious Studies Project Interview with Carole Cusack on Religion and Cultural Production (23 September 2013)
The Religious Studies Project's interview with Professor Carole M. Cusack of the University of Sydney covers an ambitious range of issues by tackling some huge open-ended questions: How does one define a cultural product of a religion? Must it be material? What makes a product religious or sacred? What about products that are secular, but traceable to a new religion? Does the culture of celebrity fit into this? Cusack's rigorous unpacking of these topics, and the tangential issues explored along the way, make for scintillating listening. The interview loosely centres on the recently published Handbook of New Religions and Cultural Production (2012), which was edited by Cusack and Alex Norman. This comprehensive compendium examines the impact of new religions upon cultural production through a set of case studies exploring realms of music, architecture, food, art, books, film, video games, and more.
New religions have been increasingly emerging in the West and other regions since the beginning of the nineteenth century. They are, however, often ignored or devalued due to the common suspicion that they are not 'real religions' and cannot be equated with traditional, historical religions (Cusack and Norman 2012, 1). This human tendency to disregard new religions and new spiritualities is reflected in the way that the cultural products of different religions are perceived. Taking works of music as examples, it is clear that where J. S. Bach's (1686-1750) 'St Matthew Passion', Handel's (1685-1759) 'Messiah' (both overtly Christian works), and the Sufi devotional qawwali music of Pakistan are easily acknowledged as masterworks of religious music, the same dignity is not accorded to the reggae music of the Rastafarians or the piano music of G. I. Gurdjieff and his pupil Thomas de Hartmann (Cusack and Norman 2012, 2; Murrell and Snider 2012, 495-518; Petsche 2012, 271-295). Where the former have come to be celebrated as exemplary, timeless artistic achievements representative of reputable religions, the art associated with new religions is often considered trivial and unimportant, like new religions themselves. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the art of new religions has not yet 'stood the test of time', and also that it arose in the materialistic, largely secular world. In this way it seems less meaningful or 'authentic' than the art of past epochs, which we commonly admire with a sense of awe and nostalgia.

The cultural products of new religions are often produced by insiders for insiders, but many have attained a level of broader cultural acceptance through various means (see also Cusack and Norman 2012, 2). Take for example Anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner's (1861-1925) Goetheanum II in Dornach, Switzerland, which was completed in 1928. His Goetheanum I was built in 1913 but it was destroyed by fire in 1922, and then rebuilt as Goetheanum II. This is a building – known as "the Building" by Anthroposophists – set up deliberately as a spiritual centre embodying Anthroposophical ideals, with its symbolic, differently coloured windows representing Steiner's colour theory, and special outside garden and water features designed to create specific effects on viewers. Goetheanum II seems to have been intentionally conceived by Steiner as a sacred site. Interestingly though, at the same time it has become a tourist attraction, with people being drawn to it purely for its aesthetic qualities. It is, after all, a beautiful example of Expressionist architecture (Cusack 2012, 175). Goetheanum II is actually a unique selling point for the village. In this way, the structure is simultaneously a desirable piece of architecture that tourists wish to visit and also, for Anthroposophists who must have much more nuanced, insider interpretations of it, a building imbued with spiritual meaning.
The Goetheanum
A number of modern architects, such as Swiss architect Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (better known as Le Corbusier), drew their influence from Steiner's designs, without specifically calling upon Anthroposophical ideals. Other famous structures, such as the ING Bank headquarters in Amsterdam, built by Albert and van Huuts, have been erected to reflect Steiner principles (Cusack 2012, 188). One might also consider in this context the system of agriculture, known today as Biodynamic Agriculture or Biodynamics, which is discussed in Alex Norman's chapter in the Handbook. Biodynamics has its starting point in Anthroposophical ideas (Steiner gave a series of eight lectures on the topic in 1924) but is now more concerned with the expression of terroir rather than spiritual development (Norman 2012, 213-234). G. I. Gurdjieff's nine-pointed enneagram symbol is another example. The enneagram has, in recent years, been appropriated as a model for nine personality types, a model that has been widely promoted in business management and spiritual contexts, straying far from Gurdjieff's use and teaching of the symbol. While cultural products might be inscribed with the intentions of their creators, it is social actors who make sense of the world and its cultural products (Cusack and Norman 2012, 4).
Another cultural product of a new religion is renowned theatre and film director Peter Brook's 1979 film Meetings with Remarkable Men. The film is a cinematic adaptation of Armenian-Greek spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff's (c.1866-1949) semi-autobiographical text of the same name. Brook's film could be classed as a 'Gurdjieffian film' and a religious cultural product as it was created by a Gurdjieffian (Brook now heads the Gurdjieff Paris group), is based on one of Gurdjieff's own books, and pays tribute to Gurdjieff. Unlike Steiner's Goetheanum I and II, which were not really intended to cater for outsiders, Brook's film about Gurdjieff was deliberately made for non-Gurdjieffian, as well as Gurdjieffian, audiences. It is interesting that spiritual meaning must be deeply embedded in the film, while Brook also intended it to fulfil the role of portraying the story of Gurdjieff's life to 'outsiders', in an effective and entertaining way.
The study of new religions, a burgeoning area within the greater field of Religious Studies, gives a unique perspective on different facets of religion. Not only can we observe, through such a study, how religions begin, change, develop, and in some cases expire, but through examining their cultural products we come to notice the different kinds of relationships that exist between how these products are portrayed and intended by their creators, and how they actually go on to be perceived and experienced in wider society.

For the Rural Poor of Peru, the Social Agenda is Far Away

HUARO, Peru, Feb 22 2018 (IPS) - "The day will come when people do not have to go to the cities to overcome poverty," says Elmer Pinares, mayor of an Andean highlands municipality in Cuzco, in southern Peru, where malnutrition and lack of support for subsistence farming are among the main problems.
"If I were president of Peru, I would reactivate the Andes highlands by supporting small-scale agriculture and training women and men in the face of climate change, so that communities can take advantage of their resources and families can have a good quality of life," the mayor of Huaro, a town of 4,500 inhabitants located at 3,100 meters above sea level, told IPS.
Huaro is one of the 12 districts (municipalities) of the province of Quispicanchi, in turn one of the 13 that make up Cuzco, a department with high rates of inequality and poverty, despite being Peru's epicentre of tourism and source of high-protein foods, such as quinoa, tarwi (Lupinus mutabilis) and amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus).
"In our administration, we aim to combat chronic child malnutrition and we have focused our efforts on guaranteeing food security for families in a situation of extreme poverty, then we will sell outside if there is a surplus." -- Enrique Achahui
These problems translate into high rates of child malnutrition and anemia in the highlands areas, curtailing opportunities for the rural population from early childhood, said Pinares, who after finishing his three-year term in 2019 is determined to return to teaching at the local school.
At total of 38,533 girls and boys under the age of three are malnourished in the Andean communities of Cuzco, where the population is predominantly native Quechua, he said.
Peru, a country of 32 million people, has made progress in reducing child malnutrition in the last decade, but official figures show that in this region of 1.4 million people malnutrition remains high at 53.1 percent of children, almost 10 percentage points above the national average of 43.5 percent.
"This is the reality in the highland communities of the Peruvian Andes, which the national government ignores," said Pinares, who during his term has promoted the development of productive projects for the benefit of families, with the support of a small team of local technicians.
And the situation in Huaro, IPS found during a tour of rural communities in the area, is repeated in other districts located over 3,000 meters above sea level, which forms part of the territory where rural poverty is concentrated in Peru.
According to the latest data from the National Institute of Statistics and Information, from 2016, overall poverty in Peru stands at 20.7 percent of the population, but rural poverty climbs to 43.8 percent, and of that proportion, 13.2 percent live in extreme poverty.
For this group of Peruvians, food security is still a distant goal, as acknowledged by another government study from 2017.
Communities feel alone
It is in this context that the local authorities of the most neglected communities of Peru, who with limited resources try to boost development in their territories, feel like they have been left on their own by the central government.
Along with a small technical team, Huaro Mayor Elmer Pinares, from his office in the Andes highlands region of Cuzco, in southern Peru, promotes projects aimed at improving the living conditions of local families, and in particular at reducing child malnutrition, a sensitive subject for him, as a teacher.

"In our administration, we aim to combat chronic child malnutrition and we have focused our efforts on guaranteeing food security for families in a situation of extreme poverty, then we will sell outside if there is a surplus," Enrique Achahui, the municipal manager of the district of Andahuaylillas, told IPS.
In his town, at almost 3,200 m above sea level, another new and urgent problem is the lack of water, because the streams in the Andes are shrinking due to climate change.
"Here most families are engaged in small-scale agriculture, where they get their food, but without water there will be no food. Despite the serious nature of the situation, the central government has not put a priority on addressing this problem," the official said.
A little higher up, at 3,553 m above sea level, the municipal authorities of the district of Quiquijana, also in the province of Quispicanchi, are committed to promoting economic development with productive projects carried out by peasant families.
"In highlands communities, child malnutrition exceeds 50 percent and may increase because crops are lost due to climate change. We are developing capacities for planting crops and harvesting water, creating organic bio-gardens and raising guinea pigs for food," municipal official Efraín Lupo told IPS.
His colleague, Rosmary Challco, added that unexpected frost and hailstorms are destroying crops.
"Families lose money, work, and food, and this is a very serious problem for highlands communities. Unfortunately there are no initiatives from the central government to initiate change," she said with dismay.
She also called attention to the need to promote public policies focused on Andean territories to reinforce local intervention and raise public awareness about changes in social patterns to improve the lives of communities.
"We need to eradicate the machismo that prevents girls and women in communities in highlands areas from getting an education and from living lives free of (gender) violence, so that they can have a profession, develop and provide for their families," she explained.
For Janed Nina, education was the door that opened up opportunities for her to realise her dreams.
She had the support of her family to pursue university studies after finishing high school, and today, as an agronomist, she contributes to the growth of the family farm located in the community of Saclla in the district of Calca.
"We plant more than 40 kinds of vegetables, which enrich our diet. We sell the surplus to have an income that helps us develop the farm," she told IPS.
After graduating as an agronomist, agroecological farmer Janed Nina returned to her community, Saclla, high in the Peruvian Andes, to apply her knowledge on the family farm and also share it with other local farmers. Credit: Mariela Jara / IPS
She, along with her two brothers who are also agricultural engineers, is dedicated to working on the family farm and sharing their achievements.
"Here we offer training in agroecology to women farmers, as well as internships for people interested in learning," she said.
Climate Change Threatens Quechua and Their Crops in Peru's Andes
For Nina, the weakness of small-scale agriculture has to do with the lack of vision of the central government, which does not include it as a strategic area of production, and with the fact that instead of promoting productive training in the communities, it limits itself to providing social assistance.
"We need to work and take advantage of our resources," she said.
In the district of Cusipata, at 3,100 m altitude, with a population of 4,700, the main concern of the authorities is to create conditions for the population to improve their food security and thus reduce the rates of anemia and malnutrition among local children.
"We seek to work with organised groups of women. Associations of flower growers, artisans and guinea pig breeders have been formed. But we need to maintain the technical assistance in order to make their projects sustainable," said Vladimir Boza, economic development manager of the municipality.
From distant Lima, he told IPS, the government has little understanding of the reality in the highlands areas, hence the weak and ineffective policies.
"For example, they talk about helping farmers specialise in producing agroexport crops, and this is not possible in high altitude areas because monoculture is not feasible with climate change," he said.
"On the contrary, what needs to be promoted is diversification," he said, based on his experience.

Under USAID's Partnership for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) program, LEAD Pakistan has undertaken a comprehensive research initiative titled "Understanding our Joint Water-Climate Change Challenge and Exploring Policy Options for Cooperation on the Kabul River Basin". This three-year project (2016 – 2019) aims to promote cooperation, collaboration, and an integrated approach to basin-wide development. In light of the same, LEAD Pakistan organized a stakeholder consultation on integrated basin wide approach for Kabul River Basin in Dubai with experts from both Afghanistan and Pakistan. This stakeholder consultation is the second of the series and aims to take the dialogue further from the first meeting held in Almaty in April 2018.
The consultation brought together a host of experts from Afghanistan and Pakistan, hailing from different background such as academia, the private sector, the government, policy makers and officials from other embassies etc. During this policy dialogue, participants discussed key deficiencies and challenges pertinent to the optimal utilization of Kabul River Basin. The policy dialogue resulted in meaningful and constructive discussion, exploring possible applicable solutions for adaptation of climate change impacts at local and regional level. It was an excellent opportunity for 60 experts and researchers to come together to share their findings and proposing adaptive mechanisms to guide policy making in the management, governance, and development of the Kabul River Basin.
Event: National Consultation on "Pakistan at Global Warming of 1.5 to 2 Degrees C - Capturing Opportunities and Managing Challenges"
LEAD Pakistan hosted a National Consultation on Pakistan at Global Warming of 1.5 to 2 degrees C – Capturing Opportunities and Managing Challenges to prompt key national stakeholders to take notice of the rapidly shrinking window of opportunity to limit global warming. The event was attended by high-ranking public officials, diplomats, experts, academics and other key stakeholders - of which some presented scientific case studies, and highlighted climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies that Pakistan could adopt.
With the release of the IPCC Special Report it has become undeniable that: climate change is a well-settled reality; it has already been here for decades; it is here to stay for the foreseeable future; and the window of opportunity to address it is fast closing – the world has a mere 12 years or so before becoming uninhabitable. The event focused on the recommendations by the national experts on the impact of climate to Pakistan water, food and energy security. Foreign ambassadors and experts shared best practices being adopted around the world to mitigate this threat.
It is important for Pakistan to adopt global best practices, and explore avenues for international collaboration to help manage its climate threats. The urgency of addressing head on this issue is increasing, as the decision making window shrinks with each day that we fail to act. As strategic policies accelerate economic growth rate, it is imperative for Pakistan to take well planned steps, drawing on the knowledge and practices of the countries already making significant headway on this agenda.
LEAD Pakistan hosted an interactive session on the topic of "Managing Rainwater Harvesting in the Urban Context" with Shahid Sohail, ex-member engineering of Capital Development Authority (CDA), as guest speaker. Water is an issue that has gained exponential prominence in the recent years as water supplies, including urban, become increasingly stressed.
Islamabad is fortunate in its hydrological characteristic such that it receives up to 1.2 meters of rainfall per year. Theoretically, this amounts to roughly 2.98 million gallons per day per sector of the city. Assuming even 60% of this rainwater is harvested, spread over a population of 50 thousand, the potential available amount of water estimates around 35.6 gallon per capita per day. Rainwater is a huge resource for Islamabad, about which so far very little has been done. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has implemented several pilot projects to test different methods of rainwater harvesting. It is important to include rainwater harvesting for groundwater recharge in the heart of planning to create a water secure and sustainable city, and it is necessary for Islamabad to incorporate it into its re-planning.
LEAD Pakistan hosted an interactive session with Professor David Grey, who shared good examples of international basins and their mitigated threats and seized opportunities. There are numerous examples around the world cooperative management of Transboundary Rivers. The 1961 Canada/USA Columbia River Treaty outlines strategies for sharing gross benefits equally between the two countries. The Itaipu Hydropower is an international HEP project on the transboundary river of Parana in which both Brazil and Paraguay hold equal shares.
In this current era Pakistan is facing numerous threats to its water security. In addition to its internal challenges, the threat of India shutting off Pakistan's water sources could devastate the country much worse than armed conflict could. In spite of the IWT, the two countries have faced off on several disputes gaining international prominence, such as the cases of Baligarh and Kishenganga. In order to address the Indus river basin issue, it is necessary to explore various nexus related to water and identify challenges within them. Stakeholder engagement is key in this process to understand the various dimensions of the challenges, such as economic, societal, and environmental. A 21st century revolution is needed where state-of-the-art water institutions and skills are developed, infrastructural assets renovated, and a quantum shift in efficiency with equity and poverty reduction is focused. Most important, a political change is needed where trust building, benefit sharing and international cooperation is propagated.
LEAD Pakistan hosted an interactive session as part of its LEADING Perspectives series on Managing Shared Basin. The guest speaker, Dr. Arif Anwar, is an irrigation/water resources expert with significant years of experience working in that sector of Pakistan.
After 1947, irrigation water was allocated among the provinces through informal, ad hoc arrangements. A number of commissions and committees eventually led to the apportionment of waters of the Indus River System between the Provinces of Pakistan in 1991. The Accord is a seminal document, unchanged over the last quarter of a century. Since it lacks a clearly stated objective it is difficult to ascertain whether the Accord has achieved what it set out to. It also falls short on addressing a number of important issues such as environmental flows and water quality. The water balance of the Indus basin also lacks accuracy. Going forward, it would be prudent not to consider re-writing the Accord, but rather work with in its existing framework to improve water accounting, and supplement the Accord with agreed and published operational rules to ensure equitable apportionment of water resources between the provinces.

Q: Android - Google Drive SDK - Open file I am used to opening my files in my apps using the next code:
public void openFile(@NonNull String uri) {
        checkNotNull(uri);
        File file = new File(uri);

        String dataType = null;
        if (ContentTypeUtils.isPdf(uri)) dataType = "application/pdf";
        else if (ContentTypeUtils.isImage(uri)) dataType = "image/*";

        if (file.exists() && dataType != null) {
            Intent target = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

            target.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), dataType);
            target.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);

            Intent intent = Intent.createChooser(target, "Open file");
            try {
                startActivity(intent);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                Log.e(TAG, "There is a problem when opening the file :(");
            }
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Invalido", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }

I had always used static files so this was enough, but now I am using the Google Drive SDK for Android. I possess the driveId of the file I want to open but the problem is I cannot find a clean way to open the file contents I obtain by doing this:
Drive.DriveApi.fetchDriveId(mGoogleApiClient, documentFile.getDriveId())
            .setResultCallback(driveIdResult -> {
                PendingResult<DriveApi.DriveContentsResult> open =
                        driveIdResult.getDriveId().asDriveFile().open(
                        mGoogleApiClient,
                        DriveFile.MODE_READ_ONLY,
                        null);

                open.setResultCallback(result -> {
                    DriveContents contents = result.getDriveContents();
                    InputStream inputStream = contents.getInputStream();
                    // I know I can get the input stream, and use it to write a new file.

                });
            });

So the only thing that comes to my mind is creating a static route to create a file every time I have to open it, and erasing it every time I have to open a new file.
What I have understood up until now is that the Google Drive API for Android already saves an instance of the file so what I have in mind sounds unnecessary, I would like to know if there is a better way to achieve this. Is there a way I can open the file and do something similar to what I do with the Intent.ACTION_VIEW in a cleaner way?
Thanks in advance.

A: Well since it seems this will not be answered I will post what I did. All I did was create a temp file where I put my contents to be read. I still don't know if it was the best choice so this question will still be opened for a better answer.
open.setResultCallback(result -> {
                    DriveContents contents = result.getDriveContents();
                    InputStream inputStream = contents.getInputStream();
                    writeTempFile(inputStream);
                });

And here the implementation of the `writeTempFile`:

    private synchronized File writeTempFile(@NonNull InputStream inputStream) {
        checkNotNull(inputStream);
        File filePath = new File(mActivity.getFilesDir(), "TempFiles");
        if (!filePath.exists()) filePath.mkdirs();
        File file = new File(filePath, TEMP_FILE);
        try {
            OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
            IOUtils.copyLarge(inputStream, outputStream);
            IOUtils.closeQuietly(inputStream);
            IOUtils.closeQuietly(outputStream);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return file;
    }

Economists should learn some history
Published in The Spectator Australia (Sydney), 2 October 2010
http://www.spectator.co.uk/australia/6320293/economists-should-learn-some-history/
The inability to see beyond their own models left them unprepared when the global economy hit trouble
Many groups have had to share the blame for the financial crisis that gripped the world economy in 2007, including commercial banks for unsustainable lending practices, rating agencies for flawed assessments, and central banks for misguided monetary policies.
There is one group, however, whos reputation has perhaps suffered even more than those mentioned above: the economics profession. Few, if any, economists saw the crisis coming. Worse still, before the crisis many economists thought that their tools and methods made such a series of events almost impossible.
Looking back at the state of economics in the pre-crisis years, it is hard not to detect a sense of complacency. The Great Depression had become a distant memory, and the experience gained from handling comparatively minor economic setbacks such as the 1987 stock market crash, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the end of the dotcom boom only seemed to demonstrate that economists and policymakers had acquired the necessary knowledge to deal with such challenges in a way that would prevent such setbacks from becoming global catastrophes.
Former UK prime minister Gordon Brown has rightly received a great deal of ridicule for a promise he had made as Chancellor of the Exchequer. At the time, he had predicted an end to boom and bust cycles. Unfortunately for him, the British boom turned to bust almost immediately after Brown became prime minister.
It is unfair to blame Brown alone for his unjustified smugness. He could have lifted it straight from the economics textbooks of the time. It is almost embarrassing to read economists' statements from the pre-crisis years now because, in hindsight, they look dangerously naïve. In January 2003, for example, economist and Nobel laureate Robert E. Lucas delivered the Presidential Address to the American Economic Association and began with this bold statement:
'Macroeconomics was born as a distinct field in the 1940s, as a part of the intellectual response to the Great Depression. The term then referred to the body of knowledge and expertise that we hoped would prevent the recurrence of that economic disaster. My thesis in this lecture is that macroeconomics in this original sense has succeeded: Its central problem of depression-prevention has been solved, for all practical purposes, and has in fact been solved for many decades.'
The events of 2007 to 2010 are far from the steady-state that Lucas thought had been achieved. If anything was absent during the recent crisis years, it was the kind of stability that macroeconomists thought they had created.
Laypeople were shocked to discover that many economists were largely ignorant of the developments in financial markets that ultimately caused the greatest economic disruption in decades. To these economists, the crisis was an 'exogenous shock'. Translated into ordinary English, this means an event which resulted from forces working outside the world of economists' models.
Of course, there is nothing necessarily wrong with economic models or theoretical abstractions. However, it is vital that the economists who apply them are aware that they are dealing with models and that these models have limitations. They must be willing to subject their models to a reality check from time to time. In order to do this, economists need a sound historical knowledge of the economy. And this is where economics has gone wrong.
If economists believe they are engaged in some kind of social physics, then it is only too easy to understand why they are so strangely uninterested in fields that other social scientists regularly deal with. Physicists, for example, do not have to know the biographical details of Albert Einstein to deal with his theory of relativity. Nor do they need to know the historical context in which Isaac Newton developed his concept of gravity.
Economists often pretend that they can afford similar historical ignorance. Today's economics students may know of Keynes, but only a few would be able to locate him in time and place. Fewer still would know who Keynes's great contemporary rival was (Friedrich August von Hayek), and don't bet on any of these students knowing that Keynes had developed his theories against the backdrop of the Great Depression.
Is this really an appropriate way to learn economics? How much richer would economics be (and how much more interesting) if students were introduced to the field's history and its leading exponents, because only then would they see how few things in economics today are genuinely new. The current generation of economists were so stunned by the global financial crisis because they were not properly aware that such crises had been happening for centuries. Carmen Reinhardt and Kenneth Rogoff have presented details of past financial crises under the wonderfully ironic title This Time Is Different, and if there is one lesson to be learned from their examples then it is that (a knowledge of) economic history matters.
Economists enjoy a reputation as the most rigid, most precise and, therefore (they believe) most authoritative social scientists. Other social scientists such as lawyers or sociologists often complain about 'economic imperialism', which is based on the notion that economics possesses the sophisticated toolkit other disciplines lack. If economists suddenly admitted that some of their fancy models had been severely flawed, where would this leave economists' authority to tell others what to think and do?
Such understandable fear should not stop economists from offering their mea culpa. There is no use denying the fact that economics has not been as successful as it hoped it could be. It was not as accurate, either. Economists are not the scientists of the new age!
The lesson economists should learn from the wake-up call that was the global financial crisis is that, 234 years after Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, economics as a discipline desperately needs an open and honest debate about its current state, its future and its methods: How much mathematics is appropriate? What are the limitations to model-building? Where are the blind spots of its theories? What are its relationships to neighbouring disciplines such as law, psychology, sociology, philosophy and history?
Economists should take the time to ask themselves what they can learn from the events of the past three years. If they were honest with themselves, they would conclude that many of them had been too optimistic about their ability to predict the future with certainty. They would have to confess that the world is too messy a place to be expressed in models of 'general equilibrium' or 'perfect competition'.
And, hopefully, they would also conclude that you cannot be a good economist unless you actually show a great interest and curiosity in the chaotic and complex world in which we live. As Hayek said: 'An economist who is only an economist cannot be a good economist.'

lives and works in Bytom, Poland.
Łukasz Surowiec is an author of objects, situations and interventions based on research into social relationships. His works deal with the interrelations within and attitudes towards those socially excluded and marginalised.
Carts is an installation that resulted from a swap that Surowiec performed with a group of homeless from Bytom. In exchange for old and dilapidated containers that the homeless used when collecting scrap, they were offered functional, purpose-made carts, on condition that that they consented to being portrayed by the artist. Within days, 40 brand-new carts appeared in Bytom, to the great interest of local residents.


Certain covered dwellings that are not designed or constructed in strict compliance with the Fair Housing Act are increasingly subject to suit, with strict liability befalling developers, designers, and contractors alike. In fact, contractors are strictly liable for FHA violations even if they correctly follow a designer's noncompliant drawings. Further, courts across America are consistently holding that potentially liable parties cannot sue each other for alleged contribution toward an FHA defect, which enhances exposure for those sued directly by FHA protected class members. Needless to say, the financial risk for FHA noncompliance is grave.
The FHA applies strict liability to developers, designers, and contractors who participate in the design or construction of a covered dwelling. Under the FHA, each participant in the design and construction of covered dwellings has an independent obligation to comply with the FHA. The term "covered dwelling" is construed broadly and applies to points of access in popular mixed-use commercial, retail, and residential properties.
Those held liable for FHA non-compliance risk more than a "slap on the wrist." Rather, FHA damages include (1) the cost to rebuild a covered dwelling; and (2) the prevailing party's attorney's fees. Thus, developers, architects, engineers, and contractors must take caution and ensure their own compliance with the FHA.
The National Fair Housing Alliance (the "Alliance") is "dedicated solely to ending discrimination in housing" and consists of an impressive "consortium of more than 220 private, non-profit fair housing organizations, state and local civil rights agencies, and individuals from throughout the United States." Alliance backers include Jesse Jackson of the U.S. House of Representatives, musician Bruce Hornsby, NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, and actor Ed Asner. In short, the Alliance is sophisticated, well-funded, and dedicated to FHA compliance.
The Midwest has a special connection to the Alliance. Jim McCarthy is the current Alliance Executive Committee Chair. McCarthy also heads the Miami Valley Fair Housing Center, which is centrally located in Dayton, Ohio. McCarthy's team is well-versed in FHA law and has the ability to select and sue any developers, architects, engineers, or contractors they believe to be responsible for alleged FHA neglect.
Notably, the statutory scheme of the FHA and Congress' intent prohibit any claim–no matter how it is couched–for indemnity or contribution between designers and constructors on a project. Therefore, if the Alliance sues a developer, but the developer's principal contractor is responsible for a FHA defect, the developer cannot offset its damages by way of indemnity or contribution from its principal contractor. In other words, if the Alliance does not sue the principal contractor directly, the developer has no means by which to add the principal contractor to the lawsuit to remedy the defect.
Developers, architects, engineers, and contractors would be prudent to assume that the Alliance will carefully inspect all aspects of a project covered by the FHA. Anticipatory measures should include educating relevant personnel, including project managers, risk teams, foremen, and designers, of FHA requirements. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Fair Housing Act Design Manual is an excellent (and free on-line) starting point for FHA compliance. For those failing to institute protective measures, the penalty could be quite harsh.


Yeo Valley dairy company creates a fictional music group and debuts their single during X Factor.
The Churned recently released their debut single 'Forever' during the show X Factor in the U.K. Their music video has already reached over 405,000 YouTube views and their song is also available to download on iTunes. You may be wondering why you've never heard of this successful boy band group before and that is because they're actually a spoof, created solely as part of Yeo Valley's advertising campaign.
Yeo Valley is an organic dairy company based in England and has created The Churned with ad agency BBH. The 'cheesy' boy band features four fictional farmers who are reminiscent of groups like Backstreet Boys, Take That and NSYNC.

So I am back in the game after many many years, i've already played several hours since and I wanted to share with you my thoughts in order to help make things better. As an exclusive Hospital player, I may not be right on some points but I sure do hope my post will be taken into consideration .
Glitch detector system: It is a really nice addition but IMO, it works "too well". For instance, when I get into a close fight, i like to hit C to crouch but sometimes, my finger rips on X to prone and then the detector triggers, shaking my screen, and making me lose instantly the fight. An activation delay of the detector would be a great addition because as everyone knows, AA is one of the most glitchiest game ever created and it's just too easy to trigger a glitch by mistake .
RPG in Hospi: I know it has been discussed but yeah, I liked m203 better because now, its waaay too easy for the vip to rush helipad safely. People also tend to do crazy shit on wwroof since there is only one RPG spot/its in the last bracket.
Firerate: It may just be my imagination but shooting in single fire mod seems weird nowadays ?!
Flashbangs: WAAAAAY too strong, it kills many options we had to counter rushs from Escort team. For example, now, if you're not camping deep, you're pretty much fucked if you're waiting behind the cars by Helipad stairs.
Self field-dressing: I liked this option in the last versions of AAO
Stamina system: Looks a little bit buggy to me
I'll add more things later if I find anything else.

Undortunately, since shooting while going prone is a bug, I see no reason to change hackhunter on that point.
You can, however, change your prone button to something you can't hit accidentally so easily.
Removing 203 and adding RPG to Hospital were community votes.
You're right, you can't spam single fire as fast as possible. It's limited to how long the actual fire animation takes in the game.
Flashbangs are less effective than they actually originially were on 2.5. They were changed to what they were on 2.8.
Field dressing yourself was a feature in later versions of the game (2.8 I believe), this one doesn't have that feature. We use 2.5 because of mac/linux compatibility and other problems on trying to move to 2.8.5 (it has been attempted and ELiZ put many an hour into it).
Stamina is a little weird sometimes, but it's exactly the way they have set it up originally.

My flashbangs works like waterballoons, people wont get flashed. Then again Im blind from others flashes all the time, someone throws one at Urban and Im blind at CSAR. Oh well, I wouldn't mind if you'd get rid of them
take the sunglasses on and stop drinking
I don't think the "shooting while going prone is a bug" argument is valid. We are talking about executing one of the most basic action a game can offers. I agree about creating countermeasures to block abnormal "advanced" commands used for the sole purpose of triggering a glitch (like fast swapping), but this?! It reminds me of this american server, where it was forbidden to jump because" it would mess with the hitdetection system" or some other excuses because the admin there couldn't adapt to a legit aspect of the game.
Almost every features in this game is bugged, what is next if we follow this way? Forbidding to nade people who are handling a nade? (if you do so and if you only hurt you target, it wont be able to use any item anymore and then become an easy kill).
It's a great thing you asked the community about chosing m203/RPG on Hospital. However it has been proven that community doesn't know shit about balancing in videogames . Take a look at any MOBA/MMORPG forums or even CSGO/BF4 if you dont believe me.
Anyway I have the certitude that it would be better for the game integrity and for everyone to balance things accordingly to the greater good and not to the preferences of any players. Have you ever thought about creating a team of "wise players" dedicated to balance things in the game?
No offense intented, I really appreciate the work you put to keep the game alive, but what's up on your argument with the flashbangs?! It has been corrected in version 2.8.3 for this reason:
The flashbang has been tuned a bit to make it more realistic. The effectiveness has been reduced when used outdoors. Also the blackout duration has been reduced.
Why do you talk about version 2.8? Shouldnt be the game as close as the last version published? Now, the way you replied, looks like that you are trying to make the game the way you like it and not how it should be.
The reason I talk about 2.8.5 is because it IS the last version of THIS game released. We will never make it like AA3 or AAPG/AA4, if you want to play one of those games, you can go ahead and do that.
Shooting while going prone IS a bug. There is no arguing about it. You're not meant to shoot while doing that, it's as simple as that. You're the first person I've ever seen to argue this. I've seen people complain about it before, but haven't seen someone claim it not to be a bug.
You're right, people generally don't know what they want nor what is good for the general good. They will say they want 1 thing and then a week later they want the opposite. But then again we have people like you complaining about things YOU don't like about the game and things that YOU would like to see different.
Believe me, there's been plenty of decisions we've made that don't go exactly the way majority voters voted because we know it to be better for the future of the game.
And to be quite honest, I've never changed this game in a meaningful way, most of the work has been done by other admins.

Prone shooting is a bug and now it is fixed in my mind. And about that you will do it by accident, well that happens for everyone when they started to play this game again. Trust me if I tell you that after 2 weeks you don't do it by accident anymore. It gets only a few hours to get used to it. See you at the game
Lasse Kukkonen, is there any better?
Just to add about the flashbangs.
You're right, they don't work exactly the way the did in 2.8.5. Back then they worked differently indoors and outdoors. But for us it works the same in both situations and that's changed to be the same as it was indoors in 2.8.5.
What you need to understand is that we don't own this game nor do we have access to it's source code. The stuff we've done could most accurately be described as a hack.
You didnt understand me, I said 2.8 not 2.8.5 when you were talking about flashbangs. Anyway are you sure it works indoors as it used to in 2.8.5? It really seems overpowered there too..
I know that you have tons of people coming all the times to complain about things they don't like, however you should admit that the points I made, especially regarding RPG/m203 in hospi are true as in this current state SF Hospital is TOTALLY unbalanced between Escort and Ambush side. You know, i'm talking by pure fairness, cuz as someone who spent his life on this map for multiple years, I can kick arses on it no matter what . Also, the devs themselves updated the map to delete RPG and put 203 on it, thats proves something, doesn't it?!
Considering prone shooting, would it be possible to just block the action of shooting for a few ms instead of shaking the screen for several seconds?

If you don't like the shaking just type shake 0 in console, problem solved

That would just delete the sole purpose it has. Preventing people from using this as an exploit and kill the enemy during the first seconds while they're proning
How could they kill the ennemy if they're unable shoot? ....
The original devs didn't replace RPG with sf, they had sf all along and just removed the RPG because of ROE.
And you're right, Hospital is easier on one side, but it's always been this way.
I'm sure the time was put to the same number for flashes.
The reason I didn't distinguish 2.8 from 2.8.5 is because there were next to no significant changes between those versions (also seen by the fact that they didn't go to 2.9).
Prone shooting was alrady answered partly, but I'll add that your character is more difficult to hit while going prone because the hitbox is messed up. Back in the day people abused this fact buy abusing the bug. In order to tell people not to shoot while going to prone, we have this shake.
Once again, if we had the source to work with, there would be better ways of dealing with such things, but we can only work with what we have.

There is 1 more difference with flashbangs in 2.8.5, your aim won't move away in that version when hit by a flashbang.
The main disadvantage of current hackhunter warning is that it triggers immediately when prone is pressed. Indeed with a cooldown it would stop more of the accidental warnings. But I am not sure whether this is possible.


This is a department, in itself, not common among the farm buildings, in the United States; and for the reason, probably, that the domestic pigeon, or house-dove, is usually kept more for amusement than for profit—there being little actual profit about them—and is readily accommodated in the spare lofts of sheds and out-buildings devoted to other purposes. Pigeons, however, add to the variety and interest of the poultry department; and as there are many different breeds of them, they are general favorites with the juveniles of the family.
Our present object is, not to propose any distinct building for pigeon accommodation; but to give them a location in other buildings, where they will be conveniently provided with room, and least annoying by their presence—for, be it known, they are oft-times a most serious annoyance to many crops of the farm, when kept in any considerable numbers, as well as in the waste and havoc they make in the stores of the barns and granaries. Although graceful and beautiful birds, generally clean and tidy in their personal habits 276 out of doors, they are the filthiest housekeepers imaginable, and no building can be especially devoted to their use, if not often swept and cleaned, but what will soon become an intolerable nuisance within, and not much better without, and the ground immediately around the premises a dirty place. The common pigeon is a pugnacious cavalier, warring apparently upon mere punctilio, as we have often seen, in the distant strut-and-coo of a stranger bird to his mate, even if she be the very incarnation of rejected addresses. On all these accounts, we would locate—unless a small and select family of fancy birds, perhaps—the pigeon stock at the principal farm-yard, and in the lofts of the cattle sheds, or the chambers of the stable.
Wherever the pigeon accommodations are designed to be, a close partition should separate their quarters from the room occupied for other purposes, with doors for admission to those who have to do with them, in cleaning their premises, or to take the birds, when needed. A line of holes, five inches high, and four inches wide—the top of the hole slightly arched—should be made, say 18 inches apart, for the distance of room they are to occupy in the building. A foot above the top of these, another line may be made; and so on, tiering them up to the height intended to devote to them. A line of shelves, or lighting-boards, six to eight inches wide, should then be placed one inch below the bottom of these holes, and firmly braced beneath, and nailed to the weather-boarding of the house. Inside, a range of box should be made, of corresponding length with the line of holes, to embrace 277 every entrance from the outside, 18 inches wide, and partitioned equidistant between each entrance, so as to give a square box of 18 inches to each pair of birds. The bottom board of each ascending tier of boxes will, of course, be the top of the boxes below, and these must be made perfectly tight, to prevent the offal of the upper ones from falling through, to the annoyance of their neighbors below. The back of these boxes should have a line of swing doors, hung with butts, or hinges, from the top, and fastened with buttons, or hooks, at the bottom, to allow admission, or examination, at any time, to those who have the care of them. This plan of door is indispensable, to clean them out—which should be done as often as once a week, or fortnight, at farthest—and to secure the birds as they may be wanted for the table, or other purposes—for it will be recollected that squabs, just feathered out, are considered a delicious dish, at the most sumptuous tables. It will be understood, that these boxes above described, are within a partitioned room, with a floor, in their rear, with sufficient space for the person in charge of them to pass along, and to hold the baskets, or whatever is to receive the offal of their boxes, as it is taken out. This offal is valuable, as a highly stimulating manure, and is sought for by the morocco tanners, at a high price—frequently at twenty-five cents a bushel.
As pigeons are prolific breeders, laying and hatching six or seven times a year, and in warm climates oftener, they require a good supply of litter—short cut, soft straw is the best—which should be freely 278 supplied at every new incubation, and the old litter removed. The boxes, too, should be in a warm place, snugly made, and well sheltered from the wind and driving storms; for pigeons, although hardy birds when grown, should be well protected while young.
The common food of the pigeon is grain, of almost any kind, and worms, and other insects, which they pick up in the field. On the whole, they are a pleasant bird, when they can be conveniently kept, and are worth the trifling cost that their proper housing may demand.
If our opinion were asked, as to the best, and least troublesome kind of pigeon to be kept, we should say, the finest and most hardy of the common kind, which are usually found in the collections throughout the country. But there are many fancy breeds—such as the fan-tail, the powter, the tumbler, the ruffler, and perhaps another variety or two—all pretty birds, and each distinct in their appearance, and in some of their domestic habits. The most beautiful of the pigeon kind, however, is the Carrier. They are the very perfection of grace, and symmetry, and beauty. Their colors are always brilliant and changing, and in their flight they cleave the air with a rapidity which no other variety—indeed, which scarce any other bird, of any kind, can equal. History is full of examples of their usefulness, in carrying tidings from one country to another, in letters, or tokens, fastened to their necks or legs, for which they are trained by those who have thus used them; but which, now, the well known telegraph wire has nearly superseded.
279 All these fancy breeds require great care in their management, to keep them pure in blood, as they will all mix, more or less, with the common pigeon, as they come in contact with them; and the selection of whatever kind is wanted to be kept, must be left to those who are willing to bestow the pains which their necessary care may demand.

With the advancement of the transportation system and improvement in road conditions, the number of high- velocity accidents has also increased. Almost all of these reported cases involve individuals who had travelled in vehicles without adhering to personal protection standards and with rash driving. Injuries to the facial region can be profoundly disturbing and particularly in children. Parents find it very distressing to see their child in pain with a disfigured or injured face. It is difficult to manage such crying & sometimes uncontrollable children. The most commonly injured facial bones are Nasal, Zygomatic and the Mandible. The incidence of facial bone fracture in children is uncommon, and we present a case report of an 18- month old child with a history of road traffic accident and swelling on the right side of the face. Intraoral examination shows limited mouth opening with submucosal ecchymosis in the right buccal mucosa and based on clinical and computed tomographic scan working diagnosis of fracture in the right body of the mandible was arrived. The child was surgically treated with the circum-mandibular wiring. After three weeks the splint was removed. The injury healed without complications in the post-operative period.

Filmmakers Jörn and Tammo Gläser begin their journey of agricultural discovery in the city of Perth, in the state of Western Australia. The first stop is the two sites owned by Glenvar Farms, where the family harvests its grain and compresses the straw with the combine harvester in one passing. Along their 4500-kilometer route, the brothers then visit other large grain farms that are using modern combine harvesters and large tractors. The variety of the Australian landscape is also showcased along the way. You can find the "making-of" for the three-part film on this Australian expedition under Extras on the DVD. A narrator guides you through the film.

LOT NOTES
By the 1930s Aleksandr Deineka is hailed as a foremost Soviet modernist both at home and abroad, and 1934-35 proved especially fruitful years for international exposure. In 1934, Deineka represents the USSR at the 19th Venice Biennale (where his painting is purchased by the Italian Ministry of Education); features in group exhibitions of Soviet graphic art (Copenhagen) and posters (first in London, then across Italy and France); and the 33rd Carnegie International exhibition at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, where he is awarded Honorable Mention.
In the fall of 1934, Deineka is invited to showcase his works and serve on the jury panel for an upcoming exhibition of Soviet art in Philadelphia, organized by VOKS (All-Union Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries), the Pennsylvania Museum of Art and the American-Russian Institute of Philadelphia. Moreover, VOKS chooses Deineka to personally represent the USSR at the exhibition. (A rare opportunity indeed: with the assassination of Sergei Kirov on December 1, which heralded the beginning of the "Great Purge", fewer and fewer Soviet citizens were allowed abroad. Deineka's own foreign passport was signed by Genrikh Yagoda, who would be demoted from the NKVD in 1936 and executed two years later). The Art of Soviet Russia ran at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from December 15, 1934 - January 21, 1935 and travelled extensively through 1936 to some two dozen venues across the U.S. and Canada. Aside from Deineka, the show featured works by contemporaries Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Aleksandr Shevchenko, Yuri Pimenov and Martiros Saryan.
Following his trip to the U.S., Deineka journeys to Europe: first Cherbourg and Paris, then Rome, which he immediately falls in love with. In a letter addressed to his wife Serafima Lycheva, dated April 24, 1935, he writes: Ah, [Serafima], what a city - Roma! Go in any direction and you'll find dozens of delightful things -- some little fountain, street, square. Everywhere, a variety of old marble, various gods, wonderful architecture. The painter's fascination with classical forms is at the heart of this work, striking a delicate balance between the clean lines of the façade, also echoed by the shape of the manhole and the shadow cast by the baby carriage, and the modelled sculptural bas-relief above the door frame. (A similar building is seen in his 1935 Rome. Alleyway, held at the Kursk State Picture Gallery; click here to view online.) The dusky color palette of brick red, terracotta orange, pale yellow, cream and grey completes the sense of austere and bold beauty.
Observed in frame, the painting appears in good condition. The board has is slightly convex. Overall age-appropriate very fine and stable craquelure. A small scratch to the upper right corner, measuring 5 cm (2 in.) in length. Rubbing to the left edge of the canvas due to the frame. Inspection under UV shows around 5% of retouching, most notably to the upper right corner, left edge with scattered retouching.
framed dimensions: 81 x 65 cm (31 7/8 x 25 5/8 in.)
