Thorough Examination for fork lift trucks is roughly equivalent to the MOT for cars- a mandatory check to ensure that the mechanical parts of your forklift are in safe working order.
It is not the same as regular maintenance - so you need one whether or not you've just had the truck serviced.
Thorough Examination is required by law, and must take place at regular intervals that depend on the type of truck you are running... but it will certainly be at least once a year...often more.
However not all thorough examinations are created equal. It is crucial to ensure that your Thorough Examinations comprehensively cover both the lifting and the driving mechanisms of the truck: amazingly, not all of them do.
For peace of mind, it makes sense to get your Thorough Examination from CFTS-accredited company.The CFTS seal is your guarantee that your truck will actually be examined carefully, and that key components such as brakes and steering will be checked along with the lifting mechanism.

Professor Shire is a social and cultural historian whose research focuses on the United States in the nineteenth century, especially the relationship between race, gender, and U.S. expansion. Her research connects scholarship on North American borderlands, Western and Southern U.S. history, the Atlantic world, Native and African American studies, and women's history.
I have a long-standing love of social and cultural history, and enjoy teaching all aspects of the American past that touch on the ways that people, especially women, shaped it. I want students to engage with historical content as well as criticism, and to immerse themselves occasionally in the culture of the past. I strive to be an accessible and compassionate teacher while also maintaining high expectations. I believe that passionate and imaginative teaching encourages students not only to engage with history but also to develop stronger research and writing skills. All of my undergraduate courses address historiography and teach students how to locate and analyze primary sources. I also support student development as solid writers and make myself available to discuss strategies for improvement.
I welcome inquiries from prospective graduate students. I am happy to supervise MA and PhD students interested in US social and cultural history in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly those interested in race, gender, or settler colonialism. I am currently supervising PhD students Carla Joubert and Erin Brown. In the past, I've supervised History and American Studies MA students on a wide variety of US topics. I have also directed doctoral comprehensive exams in U.S. history.
Major Research Projects
Dr. Shire's first book was published in 2016.The Threshold of Manifest Destiny: Gender and National Expansion in Florida argues that American political leaders leveraged gender norms – not only masculinity but also femininity – in order to Americanize Florida, setting a precedent for U.S. policy in many subsequent frontier zones further West. They used white women's presence in Florida to justify violence against Seminole peoples and to rationalize generous social policies for white settler families, many of them slaveholders. At the same time, they relied on white women's material, domestic and reproductive labor to create homes and families there; the building blocks of permanent colonial settlement. In short, white women were indispensable to the process of settling Florida for the U.S., a process that displaced both Indigenous people and enslaved people of African descent.
Prof. Shire's next monograph will be titled The Women at 44 Queen Street: Gender and Labor in Early Baltimore. This book will use the women who lived in the household of Mary Young Pickersgill (at 44 Queen Street in Baltimore, Maryland, from 1807-1857) as the subjects of a microhistory on women, race, class, and labour in the early 19thcentury American city. The women who lived in this household were responsible for one of the most famous pieces of material culture in U.S. history: the Star-Spangled Banner. Although the flag hangs in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, very little is known about the women and girls who created it. This book will reveal the myriad ways in which women's work – even in the age of "True Womanhood" – supported early U.S. capitalization and urbanization. It builds on my knowledge of gender and nationalist projects in the early 19thcentury United States, and on my longstanding love for Baltimore.
The Threshold of Manifest Destiny: Gender and National Expansion in Florida, Early American Studies series, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2016.
This book won the 2017 Mary Kelley Prize from the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, honoring the best book published on the history of women, gender, or sexuality in the Early American Republic. It also received the 2018 Rembert Patrick Award for the best scholarly book on a Florida history topic from the Florida Historical Society.

In the valiant Liberation War in 1971 Bengalis emerged victorious because of the righteousness of the cause it was fighting for. In the years that followed after the achievement of independence, the nation lost sight of many of the ideals that shaped the foundation of a new state called Bangladesh. Today on the 47th anniversary of our Independence we need some serious soul searching. For a proud and freedom-loving nation, it is appalling to have our history of the Liberation War distorted. We must set it right and uphold the ideals for which this nation made the supreme sacrifice. Only then can we hope to establish a society free from exploitation and injustice.
The leadership, under Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his trusted ally Tajuddin Ahmed, had a dream that actually guided the people to fight the Pakistani forces. Today we need to revive that vision and the dream in every citizen's heart so that they feel inspired to achieve great things with bursts of creative energy a nation on move is capable of. Currently the country is in quest of the lost spirit of the Liberation War, once again and a demand for reconciliation with our history is gaining momentum. The reconciliation puts a premium on our commitment to the country's fundamental principles that went into the making of this nation.
Bangladesh's Independence, achieved at a very high cost in 1971, was a unique historical event that drew its inspirations from the ideals of a democratic, equitable and prosperous society. Ironically, Bangladesh's existence since independence has been traumatic as well as promising. The first decade witnessed extreme volatility in politics, violent changes of government and military coups, the second with a brief interlude of civilian-democratic regime, was marked by a long period of authoritarian rule. The dawn of 1990 witnessed changing notes, rekindling hopes among the people for a better life they are entitled to. But power conflicts along the road cascading into increased polarisation and chaos could hardly sustain a fledgling democracy and economic stability. Yet, by developing-country standards, the country's growth has been notable though it did not better the lot of the general mass. Economic indicators have been hovering tolerably well with the cushion to absorb various shocks. It pays for its purchases, never defaulting in meeting the balance of payments in international currency exchanges. The stigma tagged to Bangladesh at its birth that it was a "bottomless basket" case of perennial want and an international headache for distress management has clearly been proven wrong. This Day should inspire us to strive to bridge the gaps with those countries in a time-bound fashion. To make this happen, we need leadership, we need galvanisation of the people's power. We must strengthen our democracy without which the gains of independence will not be fully consolidated or fully realised, for sure. Now we must look forward to a new beginning, with an elected, democratic government in power-pledge-bound to usher in a new era in the national life.
The Pakistan Army launched the crackdown at midnight of 25 March. According to the plan for action Search Light two headquarters were established. Major General Rao Farman Ali with 57 Brigade under Brigadier Arbab was responsible for operation in Dhaka city and its suburbs while Major General Khadim Raja was given the responsibility of the rest of the province. Lieutenant General Tikka Khan assumed the overall charge of the operation. The students and the common people put up resistance outside the cantonment. Road blocks were raised to obstruct the march of the Pakistani column to the city areas. The wireless set fitted jeeps and trucks loaded with troops groaned on the streets of Dhaka City at midnight of 25 March. The first column of the Pakistan army faced obstruction at Farmgate about one kilometre from the cantonment due to a huge road block created by placing big tree trunks across the road. The hulks of old cars and unserviceable steam roller, were also used. Several hundred people chanted the slogan Joi Bangla which lasted for about 15 minutes. them.
The Pak forces killed everybody in sight on the footpath and destroyed everything on their way. The tanks roared through the streets of Dhaka blasting indiscriminately at the people and official and residential buildings. They gunned down clusters of settlements and set fire on them. Scores of artillery bursts were pounded, while the tanks rumbled into the city roaring the main streets. The student halls of residence at Dhaka University were raided and numerous students residing there were brutally killed and maimed. They also killed many teachers of Dhaka University. The Hindu concentrated areas of old Dhaka were particularly targeted. They started killing the people, burnt their houses, looted their valuables and raped their women.
On 26 March Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was taken prisoner by the Pakistan army after he declared the independence of Bangladesh just past midnight on 25th March. The then Major Ziaur Rahman announced Bangladesh's independence on behalf of Sheikh Mujib from Kalurghat radio station at Chittagong the same day. There were spontaneous uprisings throughout Bangladesh following the call of independence by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. These uprisings were participated by government officials, political activists, students, workers, peasants, professionals and members of the public.
The joint command of the Mukti Bahini and the Indian army was underway from November 1971. Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Aurora, Commander, Eastern Command of Indian Army, became the commander of the joint forces. The joint command of the Mukti Bahini and the Indian Army, however, started operation from the evening of 3 December, when the Pakistan Air Force bombed Amritsar and the Kashmir valley. Immediately, the Indian armed forces were ordered to hit back the Pakistan army and thus the Indo-Pak war broke out.
The Punjabi-dominated West Pakistani rulers saw the movement as a sectional uprising against Pakistani national interests and the ideology of Pakistan. West Pakistani politicians considered Urdu a product of Indian Islamic culture, as the dictator Ayub Khan said, as late as in 1967, "East Bengalis… still are under considerable Hindu culture and influence."Bengalis were victims of a well-planned system of discrimination. Though the Bengalis were the majority their relationship with the ruling West Pakistani elite was that of a master and his slaves. In the new entity every aspect of non Muslim life was stigmatised. Bengali cuisine was presented in a negative light as if they had any knowledge of it! Bengal being abundant- unlike the largely desert West Pakistan- in all types of food from land, river and sea and Bengali love of rice, fish, foul, meat, mustard oil, ghee, vegetables, dates, mangoes, lychees, jack-fruit, bananas, were considered not part of Islamic diets according to West Pakistanis especially Punjabis.
They made it appears that under Islam Muslims do not eat rice or fish or vegetables or mangoes; nor cook with mustard or coconut oil! Every aspect of Bengali culinary practices was less good in contrast to what they imagined Arabs had for their diets.
Sheikh Mujib, always the devoted nationalist, was adamant that the constitution be based on his six-point program. Z A Bhutto, meanwhile, pleaded for unity in Pakistan under his leadership. When the conspiracy to deprive Awami League of its right to form the government became apparent, they went for a mass movement in East Pakistan.
Though the population of East Pakistan was significantly more the ruling West Pakistani elites were in no mood to consider them as equals. The West Pakistanis considered themselves as superior Muslims and superior human beings. It was this sure arrogance which prompted Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to press on with his unreasonable demands.

Denver's unrelenting smog pollution has been the big news of late. So far in July 17 ozone alerts have been issued and the Denver metro area just violated federal clean air standards for ozone, the ingredient of smog. The health implications are staggering.
In the meantime, people are being told to go inside to avoid the harmful pollution, the state of Colorado aspires to prepare a plan, and we wonder how we could ever let ourselves get in this situation in the first place? Really though, this is beside the point. The real question is what are we going to do now to keep this from happening again. We have an answer: it needs to start with cutting smog forming pollution from coal burning power plants.
And speaking of coal burning power plants, we've just submitted scathing comments on Xcel's Energy's proposal to "cut" haze-forming pollution from coal burning power plants in Colorado. The plan is supposed to require Xcel to retrofit its coal burning power plants to keep our skies clear. The thing is that the plan doesn't actually cut haze-forming pollution and requires only meager retrofits.
As we reported earlier, Xcel's retrofit plan would allow a 300 ton increase in nitrogen oxide pollution at the Pawnee power plant, located in Morgan County. Nitrogen oxides don't just form haze, they form smog, acid rain, and pose a myriad of negative health effects.
That's not all, though. The Pawnee power plant was required to upgrade to the best air pollution controls possible in the late 1990's, but never did. The EPA threatened to sue Xcel in 2002, but nothing has happened since then. Will Xcel be let off the hook if it commits to half-assed retrofits at Pawnee.
The problems don't end there. Under Xcel's retrofit plan, the Denver metro area will see more sulfur dioxide pollution. Sulfur dioxide is even worse than nitrogen oxides, yet under Xcel's plan, sulfur dioxide could increase by over 273 tons annually from its Arapahoe, Cherokee, and Valmont power plants.
Not only that, but if Xcel followed EPA recommendations, sulfur dioxide could be reduced by over 25%. Xcel's retrofit plan blows off EPA recommendations.
We're urging the state and Xcel to take it a step further. We've proposed that sulfur dioxide be reduced from the Arapahoe, Cherokee, and Valmont power plants by 41%, which would ensure that these coal burning power plants are all using the best pollution controls.
Whether it's smog or haze, coal burning power plants here in Colorado need cleaned up.
Children are especially at risk because of carbon monoxide pollution. Even at low levels, carbon monoxide is linked to low birth weights. In Colorado, the low birth weight rate is consistently higher than the rest of the country. Today's lawsuit should help strengthen carbon monoxide standards and help Colorado tackle the problem of low birth weights.
It's been a few days since we've posted on our Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action blog, but rest assured there's been plenty of action lately on our Denver Ozone blog.
This is a tank of methanol, which is poisonous and also a toxic air pollutant. Methanol is used as an additive at many gas wells in western Colorado to prevent freezing.
This is a condensate tank. Condensate is gaseous in the ground, but when these gases are brought to the surface they condense into liquids. These tanks are a major source of smog forming pollution in Colorado.
Condensate tanks fill up and are unloaded by trucks periodically. Sometimes condensate tanks overflow, like this one.
Here's another condensate tank. Condensate is flammable.
Condensate is also hazardous. This placard was attached to the condensate tank shown above.
This is Encana's Dragon Tail gas plant. They process natural gas and compress it for pipeline transport. The Dragon Tail gas plant has also been cited by the state for violating clean air laws.
The Dragon Tail gas plant has massive natural gas dehydrators and other pieces of equipment that spew toxic air pollution. The plant releases 1.7 tons of benzene annually.
Gas wells regularly vent dangerous gases. With over 34,000 producing oil and gas wells in Colorado, that venting adds up to a lot of air pollution.


The purpose of this page is to capture some of the memorable programs and activities of the past. You will perhaps forgive me for putting up the material from my own presentation first. I do this not out of ego display, but because I have the material at hand from my personal website ( www.s-i-inc.com ).
On January 9, 2013 Robert Schuldenfrei presented The Trials of Lew Wallace.
On February 10, 2010 Robert Schuldenfrei presented Manna From Heaven - Northern Supply 1861 - 1862.
We now have my two lectures up as YouTube videos. The first is the above mentioned presentation. The second is the April 2012 meeting about supply in the South. YouTube videos.
Cathy Clark gave her Widow of the South presentation on September 15, 2010. She delved into southern mourning customs during her living history lecture.


Apart from changes all-important to absorb a rollover aegis system, the Monocage II-S carbon tub is like that of the auto and accordingly offers identical torsional rigidity. According to McLaren, the power-operated retractable adamantine top has added aloof 108 pounds of accumulation compared to the fixed-roof 720S. Back we put a auto on our scales, they appear 3161 pounds, which agency the Spider should appear in with a sub-3300-pound real-world weight—that's arresting accustomed the authority of the 720S twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8.
The use of a retractable adamantine top rather than a bolt roof has additionally accustomed the advantage of a anesthetized electrochromic bottle panel, which can be electrically dimmed. McLaren hasn't said how abundant accumulation this adds, but it absolutely looks awesome. The alive aerodynamics of the rear addle-brain automatically acclimate according to whether the roof is bankrupt or open. There will additionally be a baby bulk of baggage amplitude below the rear tonneau awning back the roof is up. McLaren quotes two cubic feet—every little bit helps.
As with the 720S coupe, three trim curve will be offered—standard, Performance, and Luxury—with the achievability of abundant alternative upgrades above alike those. Orders are actuality taken now, with the aboriginal cars set to ability the United States in March 2019. Prices alpha at $315,000.

Top 10 Movie Monsters Designed By Ray Harryhausen
By Guest Author on May 21, 2013 Movies & Television
On May 7th, 2013, the world said goodbye to a legendary special effects master, who enthralled our imaginations and our wildest nightmares. The mind of Ray Harryhausen is a treasure trove of mythology, monsters and mighty men. Since he first viewed the historic King Kong, he set off on his own special effects odyssey, and brought to life the horrors and wonders of his creations on the silver screen.
His creations were no doubt the precursors to the CGI monstrosities we have come to enjoy. Harryhausen was unique though because, while his special effects were certainly the real stars of the films he worked on, they still had more depth and feel to them than most computerized beasties of the present.
This article is to credit his monstrous creations which left the biggest impressions, not only on our childhood, but on the monster, fantasy and science fiction genre as a whole.
10. The Phorusrhacos (Mysterious Island)
Is it a giant prehistoric relic, or just a big chicken? This avian adversary plagued our heroes and heroines in the 1961 adventure film, Mysterious Island. Originally created (and then killed) by Captain Nemo (yes, THAT Nemo) as part of his master "Food Supply For All" plan, it instead ran amuck, and tried to make a meal out of a pretty British lady and a salty Southern dandy. Fortunately, Nemo's bullet and a little "buck-awking bronco" action put an end to its rampage. It was not just the model and the walk that made this bird a memorable special effects character; its theme music was just as good.
Skip ahead to 5:30 for the giant bird.
9. The Giant Octopus (It Came From Beneath the Sea)
The '50s saw tons of "Giant Mutant Animal" monster movies to cash in on the nuclear hysteria at the time. Most of these movie goliaths were real animals, such as actual tarantulas and lizards. But can you convince a real octopus to be menacing when it typically just lies there? Leave it to Harryhausen to make an eight-legged beastie to terrorize the foggy city of San Francisco. Due to time and budget, Harryhausen only managed to give the actual model six tentacles. But the way he handled it, and brought it to life, was convincing enough to make us believe all eight of them were there. Definitely another example of the title monster being the true star; the rest of the movie is kind of a snooze-fest.
8. Joe Young (Mighty Joe Young)
King Kong was no doubt Ray Harryhausen's biggest influence in his life. So much so he was given the chance to assist Kong's creator, Willis O'Brien, in animating his special effects descendant, Joe Young. Unlike Kong, Joe was less beast-like, and more curious. Ray's previous experience with puppetry helped give the stop-motion monkey some real expressions and feelings. As he was only an assistant, Ray did most of the animating, while O'Brien worked on the film's technical issues.
The film wasn't as successful as Kong was, but it is still considered a great special effects masterpiece. Anything ranging from Joe's fight with the stop-motion lions, to an orphanage rescue, truly showed that Harryhausen had ambitions that were itching to be realized. Joe is one of the first movie monster creations to give us an insight into how could Ray put character and depth into something made out of wire framing and soft material.
7. The Tyrannosaurus Rex (The Valley of Gwangi)
Forget Cowboys vs. Aliens. It's Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs in this western/prehistoric epic. Ray had previous experience with working on dinosaur projects, such as his unfinished opus, Creation, and an outdated "educational" look on dinosaurs in The Animal World.
The T-Rex would not be the only prehistoric monster in the film; Pterodactyls and Styracosaurus would also trudge onto the screen and menace our intrepid western adventurers, as they try and lasso a monster in what was no doubt "the most dangerous rodeo ever." Harryhausen's dinosaurs are simply second to none. Plus, the name itself earns a spot. Who would have ever though to name a Tyrannosaurus "Gwangi?"
6. The Ymir (20 Million Miles to Earth)
Giving character to an ape isn't too challenging, since they're closely related to us in many ways and all. Giving character to an entirely new creature is another thing all together. Here is a monster that no one had ever seen before. An alien from the planet Venus crash lands onto our own world as a tiny little thing. Yet, with each intake of sulfur, it begins to grow exponentially, from human-sized, to tree-sized, all the way to building-sized.
Yet there is something about this Harryhausen monster that was not too common for a movie monster in the '50s. This was a creature one could actually somewhat feel sorry for. Not only is he in a strange place, but he is also being harassed by its inhabitants; the stop motion menace is really reacting out of fear and defense. That's something that even today's CGI can't truly capture; an array of motions and feeling. Because it is made of solid material, it almost feels more genuine and real. And the way Harryhausen was able to work emotion and expression in his creation showed there was more to his work than just making a monster. He was making a character, and giving it life. The Ymir is another classic example of this little touch.
5. The Beast (The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms)
Most of the early films Ray worked on were low-budget monster movies, that were made quickly and as cheaply as possible. The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is no exception. Like most '50s monster movies, the atomic bomb is to blame. In this case, it's blast wakes up a huge fictional dinosaur named Rhedosaurus, which proceeds to run loose in New York City. To make things even more chaotic, the beast's blood contains prehistoric germs that could wipe out the entire populace. It is finally downed in a way no other giant monster has been downed before: by a sharpshooter riding a roller coaster.
Now, this is as absurd a way as any to kill a prehistoric monstrosity; the idea itself, however, is overshadowed by the lumbering monster's presence. Even with a low budget, Ray brought this monster to life, and helped make the film a success. And while it is just another '50s monster by Harryhausen, the time has come to look at the true genre-defining creations of his: the monsters of classic mythology.
4. The Cyclops (The 7th Voyage of Sinbad)
One area of mythology Ray loved to visit often, was that of tales from Ancient Arabia. And the one hero he truly got the most from was Sinbad the Sailor. Sinbad's adventures provided Harryhausen with enough material to create a whole menagerie of monsters to trouble our hero. Among the first of these monsters was the giant one-eyed Cyclops. Traditionally, the Cyclops was depicted as merely a giant with one eye. Harryhausen's imagination took it a step further, and added faun-like goat legs and a horn. This resulted in a more menacing monster, with a distinguishable and equally menacing roar. It craved man flesh, horded riches, and was a constant problem even for the film's main villain, Sokurah.
A lust for treasure, and being a constant menace to man, gave a lot more depth to this monster than it previously had. As among the first monsters to truly showcase Harryhausen's love for mythology on the big screen, it left a big impression. So much so, that he had another Cyclops appear in the film after the first one died. This time it fought off a ferocious dragon guarding Sokurah's palace. But he too met his end. Well, no matter how Harryhausen's creations come and go, they still live on in our minds.
3. The Statue of Kali (The Golden Voyage of Sinbad)
Harryhausen was such a master at bringing still models to life, that he could even do it to a model of a still object. In this case, a multi-armed statue of the Hindu goddess Kali. Earlier in the film, Sinbad did battle with his ship's figurehead, brought to life from the dark magic of the film's nemesis Koura. But it was nothing compared to the six-armed statue he would soon face. Not only did Koura manage to bring it to life, he also tossed it a sword and it grew five additional ones. This resulted in one heck of a sword fight for Sinbad, battling well over six swords at once.
This also proved to be one heck of a way to get the statue animated for Harryhausen. To use a reference on how the statue would move, three real men were tied together, and moving independently in different directions, would flay their arms about. It must have been a sight to behold. But whatever is needed to bring an art to life results in something that truly makes an impression on us. And the sword battle between Sinbad and the statue remains a memorable moment in Harryhausen's repertoire of movie monsters.
2. Medusa (Clash of the Titans)
Clash of the Titans was Harryhausen's last film. And he certainly decided to go out with a bang. The movie had all sorts of monsters of myth and legend for Harry to show off, as kind of a culmination of his genius. The towering Kraken, the flying Pegasus, the two-headed wolf, and the swarm of giant scorpions; all these monsters were like a reel of Harryhausen's work.
However, if you're looking for a full-on stop-motion monster that gave a true sense of getting involved with the scene, the gorgon Medusa was truly a masterpiece. Set up as something even more deadly than the Kraken, this hideous snake woman did not disappoint when she slithered onto the big screen. Harryhausen having to animate the writhing snakes in her hair, and give her a range of emotions to work with, both at the same time, was no doubt a very hard task. Yet her presence was enough to make us feel the genuine fear and tension our hero Perseus went through, in his quest to cut off her head.
1. The Skeleton Army (Jason and the Argonauts)
If there was one scene in special effects history where the true essence of what made Harryhausen a true master of his work, and an inspiration to future filmmakers, it had to be this one. This is a scene that is still just as exciting and as mind-blowing to watch today as it was when it was first introduced. Previously, in The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, the sailor had a one-on-one sword battle with an animated skeleton. Now in the Greek epic Jason and the Argonauts, Jason was tasked with battling seven of them. What results is a pure adrenaline rush of sword slashing and terror, as these skeletons rush in for the kill. This one scene alone has become a pinnacle of special effects animation, and a true testament to the imagination of Harryhausen.
To choreograph a long battle scene, using stop-motion animation with multiple models, is as complicated as it sounds. You really have to appreciate how much time and effort went into making this scene. But each second was worth it, because it alone defined the fantasy and adventure genre we come to love today. Harryhausen may have taken a long time to bring this spectacular battle to life, but the effect it had on our imaginations will last a lifetime. It is the creativity, the energy, and the skill of this scene that truly made Ray Harryhausen a true pioneer in special effects and movie making. His legacy will live on in our minds, along with his stop-motion animated monsters.

There was a tribute to Ray in "Monsters, Inc". Remember the name of the restaurant? Harryhausen's! (I was the only one in the theater who laughed out loud at this. Sigh.)

Hey, cool. I found it. Thanks for contributing that wonderful bit of information.

I'd never heard of the guy and never really gave any thought to how painstaking it must have been to create these kinds of effects way back
then .Great list.

I can't emphasize enough how superior the original Clash of the Titans was compared to the remake.
Matthew Zarzeczny on June 6, 2013 8:08 pm
I enjoyed both versions actually and it is sad that they never made the Harryhausen sequel to the original Clash of the Titans called Force of the Trojans. Moreover, it sounds like the planned third part of the remake trilogy might no longer be happening.
Anyway, for more information on both unrealized films, please see http://fantasticcinema.wikia.com/wiki/Force_of_the_Trojans and http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=28251


César Manrique created this architectural work of art in the 70s, it shows the original charm of a Canarian village.
The market square with the adjoining typical houses, not higher than two floors, on the island colors white, green and the blue of the sky reminds of an old "sailor's village" with small streets, patios and houses like in Teguise and Haría.
The evening market consists of several smaller stalls and on Wednesday offers plenty of crafts from the island and invites you to stroll and linger. On Friday, the offer is more influenced by tourist souvenirs.


Last Friday, we were all labbing again – the best day of the week.
I didn't have much time so I decided to try to produce a screencast that would measure the time required to go from nothing to flash using some of our tools.
What I came up with demonstrates the process required to set up a Neo4j instance via Heroku, then connect to it from within a Google Spreadsheet (which your managers will like) using appscript.
Note: Please make sure that you are part of the Heroku private beta program, before trying this yourself. Alternatively send an email to heroku at neo4j.org for getting registered.
The addon-documentation is also available at heroku (protected).
Build a small bar chart from a Cypher query.
Heroku, Neo4j and Google Spreadsheet in 10min. Flat.
YouTube seems to have a problem accepting my login via iMovie, which I used for putting together the pieces.
All in all, it will take about 2h to produce this kind of casts, hope to get that down to 1h for 5 minutes.
> git add *; git commit -m"neo4j demo"
For the next screencasts, please suggest topics that you are interested in!
Even better – create a screencast about a Neo4j topic yourself.
PS: The front picture is my son Kalle during a tour around the beautiful island of Nordkoster.
Now *that* was cool :).

What was exactly in that zip file containing the data and how did it get into Neo4j?
Really great demo !
The rest of my team in China can't watch this because of the great firewall. Where can I download this ?
Argh,
I deleted the files from my computer, it's only at Vimeo :/ maybe screen capture?
Neo4j Heroku addon rocks! how can I deploy my server plugins to my Neo4j instance in Heroku?
You can't yet, this is something that will come with the paid plans of Neo4j. What you can use right now is the JRuby Script extension.
Unfortunately the video is not available anymore. If it is still relevant now (2014– three years later) is it possible to make it available online again?

The Garden Tomb…The Very Stones Will Cry Out!
Posted on October 6, 2017 May 8, 2018 by Cheryl
Garden Tomb Rolling Stone (Courtesy of Bible Lands Pictorial Library)
What did Jesus mean when He said "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out." Many think it is about the reality of non-believers singing Christmas Carols and others feeling the urge to attend church on Christmas and Easter….reminding us that no matter how hard the world tries, it will never succeed in totally squelching the Gospel message. Some believe it refers to the fact that if those of us with a natural ability and reason to glorify God are lazy in our praise, then someone or something will take up that cause and spread His Gospel message…even rocks, stones, ruins, excavations, archaeologists and scientists…whatever it takes, Christ will be praised!

Biblical Archaeology Cries Out
Many Biblical passages and accounts have been proven to be true through archaeology. The magnificent Pools of Bethesda where Jesus healed the blind man. The incredible Dead Sea Scrolls that show the Bible to be perfectly handed down to us. The Synagogue in Capernaum where Jesus spoke the "I Am The Bread of Life" message and many others. Now the rocks have cried out again to verify John's account of Jesus' burial.
Caiaphas' Ossuary in the Israeli Museum
1st Century Crucified Man Cries Out
In 1968 archaeologists were called to a group of tombs discovered near Jerusalem. Inside they found several 1st Century ossuaries (bone boxes) of a Jewish family that appeared to be quite well-to-do, although had obviously experienced hardship. One of the ossuaries contained the bones of a 28 year old young man named Yehohanan, son of Hagakol, who, sadly, had been crucified. Why hasn't more evidence of crucifixion surfaced in all these thousands of years? Apparently, there are a number of reasons:
Wooden crosses don't survive, as they degraded long ago or were re-used.
Victims of crucifixion were usually criminals and therefore not formally buried, either thrown into a river or trash heap, thus exposing them to scavenging animals and making it difficult to identify them as victims of this terrible death.
Crucifixion nails were believed to have magical or medicinal properties, so they were often taken from a victim. Without a nail in place, it becomes more difficult to tell crucifixion from an animal's puncture marks.
For the most part, crucifixion involved soft tissue injuries that can't be seen on bone. Only if a person had nails driven through his bones or was subject to crurifragium (breaking the victims legs) would there be significant bony evidence of the practice.
Ankle Bone of Crucified Man
An Ankle Bone Cries Out
But back to the discovery of Yehohanan. His ankle bone, which can be seen in the Israeli Museum, was pierced through with a long, square nail that had bent after being hammered into an impenetrable olive tree knot. Lucky for us, the nail was so deformed it couldn't be removed from the victim's ankle when he was taken down from his cross.
A Burial Cries Out
Why was this discovery so important? There are several reasons, not the least being absolute evidence of Roman crucifixion and all that it entailed, but more importantly, it is proof that sometimes there were exceptions to the Roman way of doing things. The discovery that the body of this rebel, a young man who had obviously crossed the Roman authorities, was not thrown into a common grave with other criminals, dumped into a river or worse, flung into a trash heap, sheds light on the Gospel accounts of Christ's burial.
Garden Tomb Entrance (Courtesy of Bible Lands Pictorial Library)
A Family Tomb Cries Out
The fact that Yehohanan's family was allowed to bury him in the family tomb with the dignity that befits a 1st Century Jewish family gives credibility to John's account of Jesus' burial. Citing historical accounts of how Rome handled those who died from crucifixion, scholars have long questioned the account of Joseph of Arimathea being allowed to retrieve Jesus' body and, with the help of Nicodemus, place it in the Arimathea family tomb.
Gloria at the Garden Tomb
Another Tomb Cries Out
Joseph was a wealthy Jewish man, a member of the Sanhedrin and a vineyard owner. His family tomb apparently was in a garden vineyard near Golgotha and this proximity allowed the two men to quickly inter Jesus without running afoul of the Sabbath laws. Today, you can visit a Jerusalem garden that includes a winepress, is in close proximity to a place many view as Golgotha AND contains a tomb that matches the Gospel of Mark's description of Jesus' tomb. [Mark 16: 5] The Garden Tomb, a beautiful place to celebrate communion and reflect on the fact that the tomb is empty!
Garden Tomb Winepress
Memories Cry Out
So, if Yehohanan could be buried in a family tomb, why not Jesus? Scholars have long posited that the Bible, like other documents of antiquity, contains more propaganda than facts. But this does an injustice to Biblical faith. Central to anyone's faith is history and memory…those of us who have a history with God can look back and say "He was with me then….He will be with me now!"
The Holy Land Cries Out
We know that God has acted, and continues to act, in history. So, while these discoveries in the Holy Land may come as a surprise to some skeptics, they are no surprise to believers. While archeology alone cannot bring a person to faith, these discoveries are a persuasive argument for not dismissing the truth of Scripture before at least examining the evidence, because, as we are learning every day, Jesus meant it when He said, "The stones will immediately cry out." [Luke 19: 38 – 40]

Ioana Ursu Narrativity and Legitimation in the Discourse of the Communist Archives: Analysing the Files of "The Burning Bush Organization"
abstract | view | rights & permissions | cited by
Our paper proposes to follow the history of the "Burning Bush", a spiritual and cultural movement in the 1940s in Romania that had proposed the solution of spiritual resistance to communism through culture and faith. The analysis holds as key-concepts: discourse analysis, narrativity, semantics and hermeneutics, following the discourse of the Securitate's archives with reference to the Burning Bush in terms of: - conflictual discourses: inquisitor vs. imprisoned; - motives and themes of the incriminatory discourse of the Securitate; - the existence of a master narrative of the archives.
Andrea Talabér Medieval Saints and Martyrs as Communist Villains and Heroes: National Days in Czechoslovakia and Hungary during Communism
This paper examines the transformation of medieval figures from state "heroes" during the interwar years into "villains" of the Communist state in Czechoslovakia (St Wenceslas and Jan Hus) and Hungary (St Stephen) through their national day commemorations. I argue that the negative treatmentof these medieval heroes was not clear-cut and, especially in Hungary, they enjoyed a comeback of sorts during the second half of the Communist era. This article thus demonstrates, through official commemorative events, that the Communist regimes of Czechoslovakia and Hungary to some extent were ready to continue with national symbols and traditions that were firmly established in the previous era and had apparently been abolished by the Communist regimes themselves.
Camelia Leleșan The Power of the Ritual – the System of Rites as a Form of Legitimacy in the Soviet Union –
The end of the Second World War produced a shift in the Soviet mode of legitimation; the original values of Marxism-Leninism were combined with those of patriotic nationalism in a new form of ideology in which the idea of The Great Patriotic War became one of the founding myths. Especially after Stalin's death in 1953 and the beginning of the process of de-Stalinization, the Soviet political elites made an attempt to change their strategy by reducing reliance on coercion and strengthening political legitimacy in order to gain compliance from the ruled population. The system of socialist ritual became one of the most important legitimation procedures. The political elites came to regard the system of ritual as an important factor in maintaining and strengthening the legitimacy of the regime and their own position in the power structure.
Nikola Baković From Mothers' Day to "Grandma" Frost. Popularisation of New Year Celebrations as an Ideological Tool. Example of ČačakRegion (Serbia) 1945-1950
Th is microhistorical case-study of the role of the Antifascist Front of Women of Yugoslavia in popularising New Year celebrations in the Serbian municipality of Čačak aims to examine the internalisation of the communist discourse through ritual practices serving to infiltrate the private life of the local community and to expand the Party's support basis. In the first post-war years, the new authorities not only tolerated, but tacitly approved and aided celebrations of Christian holidays. Yet this policy changed radically in 1948, when local mass organisations were instructed to replace winter holidays with New Year festivities, based on the Soviet model. These events bore an observably ideologised character, since New Year's Day was not only supposed to mark the calendar year's end, but also to symbolise the new beginning as a ubiquitous simulacrum for a new socialist society. The primary agents of this novel collective identity practice were women, champions of the socialist emancipation project, whereas the main channel for dissemination were children, which embedded this measure within the farsighted project of tempering a "new man."

Notes on the Contributors
Dalia Báthory Transitional Justice: Between Political Myth and Civil Society Reality
Transitional justice emerged as a working concept from the need to clarify the relationship between victims and perpetrators and the latters' guilt, after the collapse of abusive regimes in Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Since 1995 it has been defined in many ways, by many scholars, according either to its means and goals or to its actors. It has become a very broad concept, describing actions of justice, reparation, search for the truth and reform. While transitional justice policies should result in giving more coherence to a shuttered society, there are at least two threats that must be taken into consideration. One is to transform it into a political myth, by allowing the political factor to confiscate it, the other is to expand its area of concerns in order to cover aspects of daily social problems. The role of the civil society is very important to limit these threats, although what it is that we name "civil society" is still under scholarly debate. The analyses published in this issue of History of Communism in Europe cover these problems in their case studies which come from Latin America or the former Soviet bloc. Most of them stress on the very important role the grassroots actions of members of civil society have on "settling accounts" with the past, actions that seem to be born out of the inefficient "official" measures taken at state level.
i. transitional justice – practice and theory
Csaba Varga Philosophical Foundation and Constitutional Rejection in Hungary
There are internationally set criteria that apply in the case of a legacy of grave and systematic violations of human rights, generating obligations of the state towards the victims and society. They specify: (1) a right of the victim to see justice done, (2) a right to know the truth, (3) an entitlement to compensation and nonmonetary forms of restitution, as well as (4) a right to reorganized and accountable institutions. Facing the complete failure of implementing the first three points, one can claim that none of them has been fulfilled in Hungary since the fall of Communism, almost one quarter of a century ago. This paper analyses the context in which constitutional adjudication may confront certainty of law with the very idea of justice by putting an end to any progress of leaving the legacy of Communism behind. As a consequence, the Rule of Law becomes a mere simulacrum.
ii. transitional justice at grassroots: narrative as a cure for the broken social fabric
Andreas Hemming Justice of Another Kind. Laying Claims to the Past in Post-Dictatorial Albania
More than twenty years after the collapse of the totalitarian regime in Albania, the archives of the state security apparatus (Sigurimi) have yet to be opened. The horror of the Hoxha regime remains under lock and key. Not one word is lost on the network of political prisons and the state security apparatus in the history schoolbooks; in today's only history text about Albania written by a university scholar, that addresses some details of the socialist period, this part of the socialist past is also left out.The lack of initiative from the government or any other state organisation to address this situation has led to setting up a number of alternative civil societyorganisations that focus on this issue.One of these is a very important movement in northern Albania, having at its core a disparate but vibrant publishing industry that provides space for the localactors to publish their memories and experiences. Two genres of writing can be identified here: local histories and family histories. Common to both are motifsof local patriotism and personal sacrifice, but the local histories – mainly of specific villages and towns – tend to be apologetic of the regime while the familyhistories tend more often to be those of victims and opponents of the regime. Keywords: local history, family histories, local publishers, Albania.
Olivera Simić "The Day After": Ex-Combatants Perform Live in Belgrade Theatre
This paper addresses the organised civil society efforts to bring excombatants into the public sphere in Serbia, and investigates the potential for constructive use of ex-combatants' war experiences in theatre. By staging the theatre performance Tanatos, the Group "Hajde da..." (the Group) from Belgrade aims to challenge negative views of this category of the Serbian population. So far, ex-combatants have been largely ignored, and as such, their capacities for contributing to transitional justice processes in the Serbian community have been neglected. Not only does the Tanatos bring four ex-combatants onto the stage to share their combat-related experiences with an audience, but it also gives the audience an opportunity to meet the ex-combatants after the performance in an open 'question and answer' session. As a qualitative case study, the paper draws from multiple sources: direct observation of the theatre performance in Belgrade in 2011, documentary research and fieldwork in Serbia undertaken during the summer of 2013, analysis of internal documents produced within the Group, and an interview with the dramaturge of the performance. The paper concludes that through Tanatos, the Group has opened public space for a dialogue about the recent past that acknowledges ex-combatants as an important factor in transitional justice processes in the region.
