"Southern gothic. It looks very southern belle-y, but in the city. So, I guess you'd call it southern-modern. I'm from Arkansas, so..."
Mary Ann looked so cute in her rabbit print dress, I had to take her photo. She was looking for a place to buy ice and told me she's a fan of the site (Hi Mary Ann!) and we discussed how her dress is cut like a vintage dress, but has a very modern print. While we spoke, I was also covetously eyeing her crown earrings and aviator sunnies.
Her sandals are the marriage of flip-flops and gladiators touched by the bling fairy in the form of beading. Be still my magpie heart.
Really cute. I love how she isn't afraid to accessorize.
She is so adrable, I love all these pieces mixed together, and really eyeing her sandals.
I absolutely LOVE this dress... where would someone find one of these??

Rafeef Ziadah: 'Make a pariah state of Israel'
Poems of Rafeef Ziadah are inspired by true stories of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation and in exile.
Written in the aftermath of the 2008-2009 Israeli war on Gaza, Ziadah's poem We Teach Life, Sir became popularised by a 2011 performance in London [Courtesy of Rafeef Ziadah]
By Maryam Ramadan
"Today, my body was a TV'ed massacre,
and let me just tell you: There is nothing your UN resolutions have ever done about this.
And no sound bite I come up with, no matter how good my English gets, will bring them back to life."
First written in the aftermath of the 2008-2009 Israeli war on Gaza, these words from Rafeef Ziadah's poem "We Teach Life, Sir" became popularised by a 2011 performance that went viral.
A Palestinian performance poet based in London, Ziadah is an activist in her own right and a member of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) National Committee.
She has helped to spearhead many of the initiatives calling for the academic and cultural boycott of Israel until it adheres to the demands granting Palestinians rights under international law.
The poem is now featured on Ziadah's latest album of the same name, which blends her poetry with original music composed by Phil Mansour.
Al Jazeera spoke with Ziadah about her latest album and the inspiration and politics of her art, as well as her UK-based activism.

Al Jazeera: Your poems were previously known for your captivating performance. Why did you decide to add music to your poems?
Rafeef Ziadah: Both my first album, Hadeel, and this second one, We Teach Life, have been collaborations with wonderful musicians who deliberately worked to ensure that the music strengthened and emphasised the words.
With an album, unlike live performances, people are not able to see me and relate to my facial expressions or hand gestures – on the album we wanted to recreate that connection and music really helped to bring the poems to life.
I was happy to work with activist-artist Phil Monsour (who produced the album). The music has also helped introduce the work to a broader audience and is beginning to have radio play on independent radio stations around the world.
Al Jazeera: How long did it take you to make this album? Why have you decided to release it now and what do you hope will come out of its release?
Ziadah: The album was a slow collaboration that started with a number of poetry pieces and slowly grew in number. It took about 12 months to complete the final production, but the poems were written over several years and recorded in a few countries depending on accessibility.
It is really an attempt to capture in words a number of recent experiences of Palestinians inside historic Palestine and in exile as well.
This work is also – in many ways – a collective effort beyond myself and the musicians because we launched a crowd-funding campaign to support the final stages of production and many people generously donated to make sure narratives that are largely absent in the Western mainstream can be heard.
As I explain in the album's artwork, "the poems and music here have been written over several years, three wars, two sieges, too many borders and many protests and picket lines. I hope they capture even a glimpse of the love and resilience of many who teach life with a steadfast smile every day."
READ MORE: Final curtain looms for historic Palestinian theatre
Al Jazeera: Which poem on the album is the most touching for you, and why?
Artscape – Poets of Protest : Mazen Maarouf: Hand Made
Ziadah: Every poem on this album is a true story based on conversations I have had with Palestinians and refugees in many different parts of the world. I hope each story connects with and touches people in some way.
One of the most difficult to write was the poem "Pillow" about a man who in panic picked up a pillow instead of his baby girl while fleeing Israel's aerial bombardment.
His child survived, but while telling me what happened, he suddenly stopped and showed me the pillowcase that he had kept for years and said: "I keep it to remember".
The poem Silence Still came out of conversations with a wonderful woman who was a Nakba survivor. In her last few months, she would only describe her village in Palestine and refused to talk about anything else.
Of course, the title of the album is based on the poem We Teach Life, Sir, which dealt with mainstream media bias against Palestinians, but various poems touch on different topics including the difficulties of borders, migration, and racism in Europe and North America towards refugees.
Musically, the tracks have both quiet moments accompanied by Oud solos and others full of energy and rhythm.
The poems and music here have been written over several years, three wars, two sieges, too many borders and many protests and picket lines. I hope they capture even a glimpse of the love and resilience of many who teach life with a steadfast smile everyday.
Al Jazeera: As an activist working on behalf of Palestinian rights, how do you see art – whether poetry or otherwise – as interlinked with the realm of politics?
Ziadah: In our context I am not sure how we can separate our lives, including art, from the political. The separation, unfortunately, exists more in academic discussions than in people's daily lives and interactions with art.
Ultimately, my experiences and those of the majority of Palestinians have been shaped by dispossession and exile enforced by Israel's settler colonial regime through a set of comprehensive apartheid policies. The journey of refugees from many countries to Europe, which I write about in this album, is shaped by a political system that treats asylum seekers as suspect.
Even as an individual I find myself reading in countries that place so many negative stereotypes of Arab women on my shoulders before I even utter a word, regardless of whether I attempt to be political or not.
This reality and our narratives are the backbone of the poetry I write, and that in turn links to my activism because narration is not enough. I am also interested in calling for action against those complicit in supporting Israel's crimes or abuses of refugee rights.
Al Jazeera: How does this view influence the activism you do, with regard to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement?
Ziadah: I have been involved in the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign since its inception, helping to found the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid in Toronto and Israeli Apartheid Week, which is taking place this year in more than 150 cities and campuses around the world.
I am a proud member of the Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott Initiative (PACBI) and have supported cultural and academic boycott campaigns and pledges whenever possible.
Today more than ever I believe we need a movement to isolate Israel's regime in the manner of South African apartheid. Since the so-called "international community" seems to be oblivious to the conditions that Palestinians are living in, the only option left is to make a pariah state of Israel.
Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions are a legitimate tool in this strategy – they help to educate about the reality of Israel's regime of oppression against Palestinians and, more importantly, they move people beyond basic condemnation to effective action.
OPINION: Palfest – who represents whom in literature?
Al Jazeera: What do you think about recent measures taken by the UK government to limit BDS activism?
Ziadah: The UK government recently announced details of its restrictions regarding ethical procurement in an attempt to intimidate public bodies like councils and universities from cancelling contracts with corporations complicit in Israel's human rights violations.
Although they do not appear to introduce new legal obligations on public bodies, these documents are intended to create a chilling effect and form part of a concerted campaign to curtail BDS campaigning.
Al Jazeera World – Lost cities of Palestine
I agree with my colleagues in the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) who explained: "This government is going further than Margaret Thatcher ever went to defend South African apartheid."
The UK government is effectively undermining civil rights and local democracy in order to shield Israel from criticism and accountability.
Far from hindering BDS campaigns, such repressive measures only highlight the UK's deepening support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and underline the need for more BDS campaigning.
In response to the measures, more than 25,000 people signed a petition rejecting the government's plans and a coalition of organisations has committed to defending the right to continue BDS campaigning. Students rejected the measures by organising Israeli Apartheid Week events across UK campuses, with an opening plenary attended by more than 350 people in London.


On the day of the Marriage Equality and Presidential referendums my colleague Julie Flavin and I visited a rural polling station to record a vox pop 'exit poll'.
When we head off to do vox pops, we never know what we are going to get … in terms of material and/or abuse! Actually, a lot of the time people are shy. And no more so than when you are trying to find out how they have voted. So, thank you to everyone who spoke to us so freely.
But there is one voice that I cannot forget; she was the person I first thought of as the results came through the next day.
She came out of the polling station with her father (I presume) – who gestured with a wave of his arm to her that here we were … at her disposal … that she could speak out in any way she liked. And we were delighted to record her.
In fact, it was a privilege to hear this young woman – voting for the first time – for whom that day was so important.
The vox pop was first broadcast on Tuesday 26 May on Wild Atlantic Waves Radio, as part of the Midday Show during our News in Focus slot.

Preservationist allegedly altered contents of letter from Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer. In 2006, Landmarks held a hearing to consider the designation of the Dakota Stables, a building on the Upper West Side. Shortly before the hearing, the owner of the Dakota Stables pulled permits and began stripping the facade of the building. 3 CityLand 157 (Nov. 15, 2006). At the hearing, Virginia Parkhouse, a Landmarks West! volunteer, read a letter from Borough President Scott Stringer into the record, allegedly changing its contents. Parkhouse stated that Stringer wanted Landmarks to designate the Dakota Stables when in reality the letter merely asked Landmarks to hold a public hearing on the issue of designation. Lindsay Miller, another Landmark West! representative, signed in as representing Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal, and allegedly changed the text of her letter to read that Rosenthal advocated for designation instead of only requesting a public hearing.
After the hearing, Stringer and Rosenthal complained to Landmarks, and Landmarks referred the matter to the Department of Investigation. DOI investigated, ultimately asking Miller and Parkhouse for interviews. Parkhouse refused to comply, and DOI followed with a subpoena, which she challenged, claiming it interfered with her right to free speech and that DOI was not authorized to subpoena private citizens. A lower court disagreed and upheld the subpoena.
On appeal, the First Department affirmed DOI's authority to subpoena private citizens. The court found that DOI was investigating Landmarks' public hearing procedures, not targeting Parkhouse. The court rejected the constitutional argument, ruling that DOI's investigation did not amount to the chilling of free speech because it was not aimed at the content of her speech. Even if the investigation was aimed at the content of Parkhouse's testimony in front of Landmarks, it would be permissible because DOI was charged with ensuring that the practices of City agencies were legitimate and did not lead to abuse.
Parkhouse v. Stringer, 2008 NY Slip Op. 06625, (1st Dep't Aug. 19, 2008) (Attorneys: Whitney North Seymour, Jr., Gabriel North Seymour, for Parkhouse; Michael A. Cardozo, Alan G. Krams, Leonard Koerner, for Stringer).

Genecology is a branch of ecology which studies genetic variation of species and communities compared to their population distribution in a particular environment. It is closely related to ecogenetics, but genecology focuses primarily on an ecological perspective, looking at changes and interactions between species, while ecogenetics focuses more on species' genetic responses to the environment.

Africa's food systems are undergoing a period of dynamic change which is creating many new growth opportunities, but whose full exploitation requires an agricultural transformation.
The agricultural transformation that Africa needs today has to be much more focused on a market driven, business agenda that encompasses the entire food system, not just agricultural production.
From among the alternative pathways available for achieving this transformation, this Africa Agriculture Status Report promotes an "inclusive" transformation based on promoting the growth of small farms and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Africa's food systems.
Agricultural assistance aimed at commercializing more small farms needs to be targeted to those farm households that have viable farm business prospects and capabilities. Alternative types of assistance should be given to other types of small farm households if resources are not to be wasted, or farm households misled into unsustainable livelihood strategies.
Although the private sector can do many things on its own, achieving an inclusive transformation of the food system does require proactive public sector policies and investments.

Q: How I can Join this Array in a fast way? How I can Join this Array in a fast way?:
Dim NewArray As Array = {"a", "b", "c"}
MsgBox(String.Join(vbNewLine, NewArray)) ' Result: System.String[]

the problem is I can't print the content of the array when joining, see the "result" comment on the code.
Thanks.

A: That is the quickest way.  Is there something wrong with it?
Try:
Dim NewArray() As String = {"a", "b", "c"}

A: It sounds like what you want is something like this
Dim NewArray As String() = {"a", "b", "c"}
MsgBox(String.Join(vbNewLine, NewArray)) ' Result: a b c

Or alternatively, use Linq's Cast extension method, which can be used with any non-generic IEnumerable, including the Array type:
Dim NewArray As Array = {"a", "b", "c"}
MsgBox(String.Join(",", NewArray.Cast(Of String))) ' Result: a b c

Growing Up With DiCaprio: His Life In 10 Films
By : Top 10 Films
Tag: actor, Celebrity, childhood, hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio, martin scorsese, teen
Leonardo DiCaprio has turned 40! The actor, who made his debut screen performance in 1991's Critters 3, has become one of Hollywood's biggest ever stars. Top 10 Films takes a look at the actor growing up in film…
1991 – Critters 3
DiCaprio makes his screen debut as the kid who won't take crap from a bunch of aliens!
1993 – This Boy's Life
DiCaprio delivers an exceptionally strong performance opposite the incomparable Robert De Niro in this brilliant familial drama
1995 – The Basketball Diaries
Proving This Boy's Life was no one-off, DiCaprio is again incredible in this tough drama about a drug-addled teenager.
1996 – Romeo + Juliet
DiCaprio's fame rises to new heights in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of Shakespeare's famous play.
1997 – Titanic
In James Cameron's epic retelling of the Titanic disaster, lead star DiCaprio becomes Hollywood's most bankable asset.
2000 – The Beach
The fact DiCaprio was by now Hollywood's most desirable male star – in many women's eyes – it was fitting that in Danny Boyle's The Beach he'd spend much of his time with his top off.
2002 – Catch Me If You Can
DiCaprio plays Frank Abagnale Jr., a real-life con artist who became a jet-setting millionaire thanks, primarily, to cheque fraud. Tom Hanks is the FBI agent hot on his heels.
2006 – The Departed
In Scorsese's best film in years, DiCaprio plays undercover cop Billy Costigan who is tasked with infiltrating an organised crime gang led by Irish-American mobster Jack Nicholson's Frank Costello.
2010 – Inception
Christopher Nolan again showed why he is one of Hollywood's most dynamic and intelligent blockbuster storytellers with this thrilling action-adventure about thieves who use an ability to enter a subject's subconscious to enact their crimes.
2013 – The Wolf of Wall Street
In perhaps a sly parody of himself, DiCaprio's 2013 collaboration with Martin Scorsese saw him play womanising, egotistical and money obsessed rich former real life Wall Street banker Jordan Belfort.

A gorgeous specimen of the male kind – if I do say so myself. He showed the goods as a kid, went off the rails when celebrity took over him in his twenties, then found his feet again thanks to the calming influence of industry vets Spielberg and Scorsese in his thirties.
ruth November 11, 2014 at 4:45 pm Reply
I've pretty much seen them all except Critters and The Basketball Diaries. I'm still curious to see the latter. In 1995 he also played French poet Arthur Rimbaud, sans French accent but he's quite good in it and it's a brave role for the young actor.
Ted S. November 11, 2014 at 5:29 pm Reply
This man doesn't seem to ever age, it's great to be Leo I guess. He's worth millions, dates young hot supermodels and can choose any movie he wants to star in. I wonder if he's going to be making a film with Darren Aronofsky since both of them have been hanging out together lately.
Michael Scoates November 12, 2014 at 7:59 am Reply
I think Shutter Island is one of my favourites more for its twist than DiCaprio who will probably still look like a teenager in his 70s. Hopefully he'll still be acting then too as he's one of the greats, huge talent.
Lights Camera Reaction November 27, 2014 at 11:53 am Reply
Nice list! I'd also include Gilbert Grape too 🙂
Chris December 3, 2014 at 8:23 pm Reply
I've grown up with him as well, although he was always 7-8 years older than I am. He should have won the oscar for Wolf of Wallstreet

I think the continual meta-posting has a bigger impact on the forum experience than the quantity or size of the threads.

I personally like smaller threads and it mostly is because I don't like clicking one on thread when I get home from work and see 10 pages of comments especially if only one aspect of the thread is what I want to talk about. Some things like a specific topic or a single player or team I get why there is one big thread about them and i'm fine with that.

All of our threads need more fiber.

Seriously i just don't worry about it much anymore. I used to try to keep up a lot better but for the most part i read a little bit and reply when i want. If someone says something funny i try to join in on the fun. The Blazers and S2 are simply entertainment. I'm trying to keep it that way from now on. I have a job that i get paid for that i stress about not my play.

I hear cats are full of protein and fiber. Yummy.
Another thing i look at is the amount of comments. If the thread has hundreds of comments i'm pretty much going to scroll by it. If i see one that just started then i'm more apt to post in it. If it has over a thousand comments i might have posted in it but i spend long stretches away and when i get back 20 or 30 pages i probably won't try to catch back up.

This is too much power to place into the hands of elected representatives elected in a popular vote. We need equity exchanges of entitled rich people making these decisions, to enable democratic market forces.
To make thread consolidation decisions, Denny should hire Olshey, due to his talent with consolidation trades.

You have a point. But trying to find seems like that is where the idea changes. There are notifications that directly effect my posts so i don't have to "Find" them. Other than that it just doesn't seem worth my time to go back and find a specific statement someone made.


This infographic, brought to you by Casino UK, shows the games where casino lovers will find the best bets. The casino is not afraid to reveal the casino games with better odds and low house edge.
Today, the casino players are more smart and wise and therefore, they look to play in those casino games that offer best bets and the lowest house edges. Some people might not even know the meaning of these terms; hence, the infographic is here to inform you and tell you about the best bets which you can grab in the casinos.
The odds in any casino game mean the possibility of winning or losing in the game. It means the difference, which favours one over the other. The online casino games are basically based on the odds. To make it easier to understand, an easy example is the coin flip: Heads and tails of a coin have 50% chances of winning and 50% chances of losing.
Those odds are the so-called true odds, as we all know that a perfect coin will always have 50-50 chance to land on either of its sides.
'House' refers to the entity that regulates and controls the gambling game; in other words, the casino. In the casino, house always has an advantage over the players. House edge means the chance of the player to lose the game. It is considered as the difference between the true odds and the odds which the casino pays you. A high house edge means that players have very small chances of winning; therefore, casino lovers generally go for those casinos that offer games with a low house edge. A low house edge usually guarantees the best bets for the players.
The American roulette's house edge is calculated at 5.26% for example, since your chance of winning is 37 to 1 while casino pays out 35 to 1.
There are machine games apart from table games to play in the casinos. It is a fact though, that the table games offer best bets. Machine games like slots are luck based which has a very high house edge. Table games are profitable for the casinos, but still these are less favourable for the casino compared to the machine games like slots.
Although I can understand how house edge diminishes to 0.26% due to specific blackjack rules, number of decks and basic strategy implemented by the player, I am surprised to see a 0.7% player edge at video poker! Perhaps I need to have a close look at that casino game.
Casino UK offers you the best bets in certain casino games. In roulette, the best bets are considered the even money bets with the lowest house edges. These are betting on even or odd numbers, red or black ones or low or high ones. The house edge is 3.7%, which is at fifth position among other games. Standing at no.4 is baccarat with 1.17% house edge, in which you have to pay a small commission on the banker yet it is considered as a good game to play, as long as the casino offers a 4% commission.
The main aim in blackjack is to beat the house by acquiring the score of 21. Perfect blackjack strategy game can offer you an average house edge of 0.26% rather than 3%. Craps is surprisingly at no.2 position with 0% house edge, but only when betting on the Odds, which is the best bet at craps. Video Poker is the only game where players can have a thin advantage, according to the infographic. If you learn optimal strategy on Deuces Wild, the house edge goes in negative with -0.7%; in other words, players have an edge over the casino.


London! The greatest metropolis of the 19th century - and, according to some, the greatest city that there has ever been. Although nowadays there are larger cities, London has a unique, powerful atmosphere. You can still sense the fact that it was once the true nerve center of the world... a place where dreams, visions, industry, commerce, creativity [and imperialism!] fused to create "the Empire upon which the sun never set."
Another thing London was famous for, however, was its air pollution. The geographical location of the city made it prone to dense fogs - and when these combined with cold weather and the millions of people burning wood or coal to keep warm, there were problems. You think the smog of LA is bad? London smogs, known as "pea-soupers" on account of their being "as thick as pea soup", were so bad as to be life threatening - and the Great Smog of 1952 is reported to have killed thousands of people and to have been one of the deadliest environmental disasters on record.
Peering back into the 'mists' of history.... we see that London had smog problems going all the way back to the 13th century, when people began to burn "sea coal" instead of wood, which was in diminished supply. London Smogs were notorious for causing respiratory problems, but in the 19th century they seem to have been accepted - with more or less complaint - as a necessary evil of living in the city. One of Charles Dickens' characters in Bleak House describes fog as "A London particular".
After the severe smogs of the 1950's when many lives were lost, new legislation was introduced - and the Clean Air Acts of 1956 and 1968 greatly alleviated the problem.
"I had only been working in S.E. London for a few months when we were hit by two successive days/nights of real pea-soupers. The first one [December 4th, 1957] was notorious for the train crash in Lewisham, London SE13 [caused when the fog made a red signal light invisible] - when if I remember correctly some 90 people were killed when two trains collided under a road bridge on the line next to the one I used to go to and from work. The train I caught at about 4.30pm was the train which should have been the 2.15 or something like that, and was so loaded with passengers that you had to step down into the carriage instead of up about 9 inches!! Someone said to me that I would never get on, but 6 years of rugby at school gave me the necessary scrummaging ability to succeed - otherwise I might never have got home.
"Due to the disruption caused by the crash, the train service was all over the place the next day, so I arranged with my brother Simon to meet me in Forest Hill, about a mile or so from where I worked, on his way home from Victoria around the South Circular Road. Unfortunately the smog was just as bad that night, and he was a lot later than usual. When he finally arrived, I had to assist him by hanging out of the passenger-side window to see the kerb, as we couldn't see much further than the front of the car's bonnet.
"We finally got home some 2 hours or so later, having at one point lost the kerb on a left-hand bend, finishing up mounting the kerb on the opposite side of the road, much to the consternation of a truck-driver coming at us from our left! He left us in no doubt as to what he thought of our driving! When (much to everyone's relief) we did get home, I found that when I blew my nose, the contents were almost black with soot particles I'd breathed in on the journey. The smog in those days was so bad that large numbers of people, especially elderlies, died from lung-related problems every year.
"The Clean Air Act meant that everyone had to burn smokeless fuels from then on. As far as the date of the first Clean Air Act is concerned, it was passed in 1956, but it may not have come into effect until '58 - quite often legislation takes a year or two to come into force. The coal merchants and producers would have needed some time to be able to create the necessary stocks of smokeless fuels.
"Since then, London gets fogs, but not the stinking smogs that were the norm most years. Whether the train crash was a factor in getting the Act through I don't know, but the new laws were certainly a good thing for Londoners, and I suspect for other city-dwellers in the U.K."

And with the humidity and mugginess June is here. May went by so fast that we were sitting on the porch last night and I turned to Tim and asked if he ever felt time was moving too fast. He just sort of looked at me like, well duh.
The good part of May was that I think the rainy days and flooding of April were mostly gone and we had beautiful days like the one in the photo to the right! I've been able to walk in the mornings (5:30am-ish) because the sun is rising so early and it's warm.
That photo to the right pretty much sums up most of March for me.

Q: How to retrieve list of object in parse without any duplicity in Xcode? Hello every one
 i want to get my saved data from parse.com one time for every duplicated row, as it's shown in the bellow
 Name       Country
------     --------
Person#1    Albania
Person#2    Bulgaria
Person#3    China
Person#4    Albania
Person#5    China
Person#6    Finland
Person#7    China

and i want to get this result, if it is possible
Country
-------
Albania
Bulgaria
China
Finland

Thanks

A: You can do a query on the class then use fast enumeration to add the objects to an NSSet after checking that it does NOT exist in the set. NSSet can only contain unique objects and they are fast at checking if a certain object is in a set. Assuming that your parse class is called Person and the country property is called country, you can try the following:
In the .h file:
@property (nonatomic,strong)NSMutableSet *uniqueCountries;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *countryToCheck;

In the .m file:
 _uniqueCountries = [[NSMutableSet alloc]init];

    PFQuery *personQuery = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"Person"];

    [personQuery findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {

        for (PFObject *person in objects){

            _countryToCheck = [person objectForKey:@"country"];

            if (![_uniqueCountries containsObject:_countryToCheck]) {

                [_uniqueCountries addObject:_countryToCheck];
            }

        }

        //Log out the set. It should only contain unique countries
        NSLog(@"%@",_uniqueCountries);
    }];

Hope it helps

«Святой Георгий убивает змия» () — сербская военная мелодрама режиссёра Срджана Драгоевича, сценарий Душана Ковачевича на основе одноимённой театральной пьесы, имевшей успех в белградском театре  и сербском национальном театре Нови-Сада. В главных ролях: Лазарь Ристовски, Милутин Милошевич и Наташа Янич. Премьера фильма состоялась 11 марта 2009 года.

Это один из наиболее дорогих фильмов сербского кинематографа с бюджетом около 5 млн евро. Значительные средства были выделены правительствами Сербии (1,55 млн евро) и Республики Сербской (750 000 евро), из-за высокой национальной значимости.

Сюжет
Во время первой балканской войны в 1912 году молодой сербский офицер Гаврило Вукович теряет руку. Он отвергает любовь своей возлюбленной Катарины, которая в итоге выходит замуж за любящего её Джордже, бывшего подчинённого Гаврило. В 1914 году все трое оказываются в деревушке на берегу Савы вблизи Австро-Венгерской границы, где Вуковичи и другие ветераны-инвалиды первой балканской войны, оставленные на произвол судьбы своим правительством, занимаются контрабандой, а Джордже служит жандармом.

Катарина и Гаврило, у которого тоже семья, тайно встречаются… Но всё тайное со временем становится явным, и Катарина, по прежнему любящая Гаврило, уезжает к своей тёте в Белград. Она ждёт ребёнка от Гаврило. За ней в город приезжает любящий её Джордже и просит вернуться. Он примет её ребёнка или покончит с собой. Катарина обещает Джордже больше не встречаться с Гаврилой.

Но однажды ночью контрабандисты перевозят на австрийский берег другого Гаврило - студента Гаврило Принципа, который убивает эрц-герцога Фердинанда. Непростая, но всё-таки мирная жизнь в деревне заканчивается…

Первая мировая война, битва при Цере. Здесь оказываются многие мужчины, призванные из деревни. Сперва они уверены в скорой победе - с ними их генерал, опытный воин, герой многих войн. Однако реальность оказывается более суровой - сербы несут тяжёлые потери. Как избавления солдаты ждут подкрепления. И это подкрепление приходит на передовую. Но кто? Безногие и слепые ветераны прежних балканских войн, за которых подписали петицию солдаты. Возглавляет это воинство однорукий Гаврило Вукович. Сербы идут в свой последний бой и практически все погибают. И от кого? От пуль чешских славян - своих единокровных славянских братьев. На поле брани приезжает Катарина и находит там тела дорогих ей людей - мужа Джордже и бывшего возлюбленного Гаврило, лежащих рядом. Подле них лежит выживший сирота Ване, прикрывшийся иконой «Святого Георгия, убивающего змия», но вопрошающий небо «За что?».

"A majestic book." --Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps the Score
A unique joint memoir by a U.S. Marine and a conflict photographer whose unlikely friendship helped both heal their war-wounded bodies and souls
"The dueling-piano spirit of SHOOTING GHOSTS works because its authors are so committed to transparency, admitting readers into the dark crevices of their isolation." Wall St Journal
War tears people apart, but it can also bring them together. Through the unpredictability of war and its aftermath, a decorated Marine sergeant and a world-trotting war photographer became friends, their bond forged as they patrolled together through the dusty alleyways of Helmand province and camped side by side in the desert. It deepened after Sergeant T. J. Brennan was injured during a Taliban ambush, and both returned home. Brennan began to suffer from the effects of his injury and from the fallout of his tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. But war correspondents experience similar rates of posttraumatic stress as combat veterans. The causes can be different, but guilt plays a prominent role in both. For Brennan, it's the things he's done, or didn't do, that haunt him. Finbarr O'Reilly's conscience is nagged by the task of photographing people at their most vulnerable while being able to do little to help, and his survival guilt as colleagues die on the job. Their friendship offered them both a shot at redemption.
As we enter the fifteenth year of continuous war, it is increasingly urgent not just to document the experiences of the battlefield but also to probe the reverberations that last long after combatants and civilians have returned home, and to understand the many faces trauma takes. Shooting Ghosts looks at the horrors of war directly, but then turns to a journey that draws on our growing understanding of what recovery takes. Their story, told in alternating first-person narratives, is about the things they saw and did, the ways they have been affected, and how they have navigated the psychological aftershocks of war and wrestled with reforming their own identities and moral centers. While war never really ends for those who've lived through it, this book charts the ways two survivors have found to calm the ghosts and reclaim a measure of peace.

The fund, managed by Glasgow city council, has £89m invested in 11 such companies, according to Don't Bank on the Bomb Scotland. (See PN 2545, 2588–2589, 2628-2629)
In December, Renfrewshire passed a resolution supporting the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and the ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) Cities Appeal.
In May, Berlin, Paris and Oslo also signed up to the ICAN Cities Appeal, joining Washington DC and others.

The Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) is waiting to hear the results of a major appeal, on its legal case against British arms sales to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen.
In mid-April, the court of appeal in London heard legal arguments from CAAT that an earlier judgement in the high court should be overturned. The government should be banned from allowing such sales, CAAT believes.
Since the bombing of Yemen began in March 2015, the UK government has licensed £4.7bn worth of arms to the Saudi regime.
CAAT has been busy protesting in the last few months, including outside the DPRTE arms fair in Farnborough (blasting music and speeches over the fence) on 28 March, and inside the AGM of BAE Systems on 9 May (see Ameen Nemer's account on p20).
CAAT is also running all over the country preparing people to take action at the DSEI arms fair in East London in September.

Inspectors freed
On 29 March, two US Veterans for Peace were released from prison in Limerick, Ireland, after being arrested at a protest against the US military base at Shannon airport on 17 March. Shannon is used for refuelling US troop planes bound for the Middle East.
Tarak Kauff (82) and Ken Mayers (77) entered the airfield to investigate a plane on contract to the US military. They were charged with: causing a security breach; €2,500 worth of criminal damage to the fence; and trespassing on a taxiway.
They were awaiting trial when we went to press – their passports have been confiscated.

Two Palestinians were on indefinite hunger strikes in Israeli prisons at the time of going to press. Odeh Haroub (32) and Hasan Awawi (35) were among 470 or so Palestinian civilians being held in Israeli 'administrative detention' without charge or trial.
By 13 May, the pair had completed 41 days on hunger strike, according to the Palestine Prisoners' Society (PPS).
At the beginning of May, 25 Palestinians and four Israelis died during days of violence in and around Gaza. Israeli airstrikes and artillery completely destroyed 18 residential buildings and family homes, a mosque, several schools, three media offices, and three ambulances, according to the Ma'an news agency.
Israeli soldiers continue to shoot unarmed demonstrators in Gaza's Great March of Return protests every Friday. On 10 May, they shot dead Abdullah Abd al-Aal (24).
As of February, 183 Palestinians had been shot dead, and 6,106 wounded with live ammunition, according to a UN commission of inquiry (see PN 2628–2629)

Treaty treats
27 more countries need to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) for it to come into force. 50 states need to not only sign the treaty, but ratify it (in democracies, this usually requires parliament to pass a law).
The first three countries to ratify the TPNW were Guyana, Thailand and the Vatican (all on 20 September 2017).
The other ratifiers are (in chronological order): Mexico, Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, Palau, Austria, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Uruguay, New Zealand, Cook Islands, Gambia, Samoa, San Marino, Vanuatu, St Lucia, El Salvador, South Africa and Panama.
Five Pacific states and 10 from the Americas make up the bulk of ratifiers so far.... Keep track with ICAN:

British companies are involved in the illegal exploitation of phosphate from Western Sahara, a new report has revealed.
One of the resources that Morocco illegally exports from occupied Sahrawi territory is phosphate, the element used in artificial fertilisers. Western Sahara has been one of the world's largest suppliers of high-quality phosphate rock.
Morocco invaded Western Sahara in 1975 and has illegally occupied the territory ever since. Western Sahara Resources Watch has successfully lobbied shipping companies to withdraw from Sahrawi phosphate transportation.
British insurance companies provide 'protection and indemnity' (P&I) insurance for many of the cargo vessels that carry Sahrawi phosphate rock around the world.
Four British 'P&I Clubs' covered 18 phosphate shipments from Western Sahara in 2018, according to P for Plunder, a new report from Western Sahara Resource Watch.
The vessels involved carried nearly a million tonnes of conflict phosphate to Canada, India, New Zealand and the US.
For example, the Lady Giovi transported 79,000 tonnes of Sahrawi phosphate to the US in August 2018. It was one of four conflict shipments insured by UK P&I Club, whose head office is 90 Fenchurch Street, London.
The Triton Swan, which carried 59,000 tonnes of Sahrawi phosphate to India in March–April 2018, was one of eight conflict shipments insured by the West of England Ship Owners Mutual Insurance Association, head office 226 Tower Bridge Road, London.
The Britannia Steam Ship Insurance Association, head office 45 King William Street, London, licensed three phosphate shipments from Western Sahara which carried 177,000 tonnes in total.
The exact same total, 177,000 tonnes, was shipped (all to Canada) under cover provided by the North of England P&I Association, head office 100 The Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Another British connection to the illegal phosphate trade is Borealis Maritime Ltd, based at 55 Brompton Road, London. This is the company that operated the Bomar Oyster, which carried 54,000 tonnes of stolen Sahrawi phosphate rock to India in August–September 2018.
The Moroccan state company that exports Sahrawi (and Moroccan) phosphate is called OCP (Office Chérifien des Phosphates). It reported $562m in profits in 2018.
OCP is registered on the Irish stock exchange, where its affairs are co-managed by Britain's Barclays bank (along with Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan, from the US). The Barclays head office is in Canary Wharf: 1 Church Hill Place, London.

I received a couple of desperate sounding voice mails from these people (it was First Bank of Delaware). According to my records, I had made the last payment on my short-term loan with them but somehow I figure they're pushing the panic button.
