Owning Mahowny ist ein kanadisch-britisches Filmdrama des Regisseurs Richard Kwietniowski aus dem Jahr 2003 nach einer wahren Begebenheit der frühen 1980er Jahre in Toronto. Die Hauptrolle spielte Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Handlung
Dan Mahownys geheimes Leben wurde an die Öffentlichkeit gebracht. Er blickt mit einem Psychologen darauf zurück:

Dan ist ein fleißiger, akkurater Bankangestellter, der sich trotz Beförderung keinen Luxus gönnt. Mit seiner Freundin Belinda führt er ein biederes Dasein. Als jüngster Assistant Manager (entspricht in etwa einem Prokuristen bzw. Handlungsbevollmächtigten in einer deutschen Bank) genießt er das volle Vertrauen des Bankdirektoriums.

Im Geheimen verfällt er jedoch immer mehr der Spielsucht. Wegen verlustreicher Pferdewetten bei seinem Buchmacher Frank Perlin beginnt er trotz schlechten Gewissens, seine Vertrauensposition bei der Bank zu nutzen, um an immer größere Geldbeträge zu kommen. Diese verwendet er für Einsätze in den Casinos von Atlantic City und in Las Vegas. Die spielenden Gäste werden videoüberwacht und vom berechnenden Casinomanager Victor Foss psychologisch studiert, um sie bei Laune zu halten, solange sie Geld haben. Dan Mahowny hat nie genug vom Spielen, egal ob er verliert oder gewinnt. Er nimmt sich keine Zeit zum Essen und Schlafen. Er vergisst seine im Hotelzimmer wartende Freundin, die sich immer mehr vernachlässigt fühlt. Dan verwettet immer größere Beträge. Er verliert, er unterschlägt Geld. Er ist ein gerne gesehener Gast im Casino, dem jeder mögliche Wunsch erfüllt werden soll. Dan will aber seine Ruhe beim Wetten und hat bis auf ein einfaches Essen keinerlei Bedürfnisse. Er will weder schnellen Sex, noch Alkohol, noch Drogen. Er erhält den Spitznamen Eismann, weil er kaum Gefühlsregungen zeigt und sich immer nur verbissen aufs Spiel konzentriert. Sein Kopf ist meist nach unten gerichtet, als könne er seinen Blick in keine andere Richtung, als auf den Spieltisch richten. Als Einziger ist der im Casino angestellte Bernie ehrlich und freundlich zu Dan. Sein Rat, mit einem Gewinn von neun Millionen Dollar den Spieltisch zu verlassen, bleibt ohne Wirkung, außer dass Bernie gefeuert wird. Dan kann nicht anders, als alles wieder zu verlieren. Auch seine Freundin kann ihm nicht helfen. Dan streitet seine Sucht ab. Er habe wegen seiner Schulden ein finanzielles Problem und nichts anderes. In der Bank werden trotz Revision keine verdächtigen Vorgänge gefunden.

Die Polizei überwacht inzwischen das Telefon des Buchmachers und wird dadurch auf Dan Mahowny aufmerksam. Weil soviel Geld umgesetzt wird, gehen sie zuerst von Drogengeschäften aus. Schließlich wird Dan wegen Verdachts auf Unterschlagung verhaftet. Überrascht stellt die Bank einen Fehlbetrag von 10,2 Millionen Dollar fest. Obwohl Dan alleine dafür verantwortlich ist, werden auch etliche andere Bankangestellte gekündigt. Belinda steht weiterhin zu Dan.

Im Abspann ist zu lesen, dass Dan wegen Bankbetrugs eine sechsjährige Haftstrafe erhielt, während eines kurzen Hafturlaubs seine Freundin Belinda heiratete und nach der Haftentlassung nie wieder gespielt hat. Das Verfahren der Bank gegen das Casino wurde außergerichtlich beigelegt. Auch erhielt sie jahrelang einen Teil des Verdienstes von Dan. Das Casino musste wegen Verstößen gegen die Glücksspielvorschriften einen vollen Tag lang geschlossen bleiben.

Kritiken
 Das Lexikon des internationalen Films beschrieb den Film als "facettenreich", "eindrucksvoll" und "ironisch".

 "Fesselnde Studie einer Sucht, brillant gespielt […] Grandios: Hoffman spielt bis ans Limit, in seinem Antlitz spiegelt sich alles! Das unterkühlte Portrait eines ewigen Verlierers erzeugt – wie es der tragische Antiheld Hoffman treffend ausdrückt - 'qualvolle Spannung'." (Cinema)

 "Regisseur Richard Kwietniowski ('Leben und Tod auf Long Island') erzählt nach wahren Begebenheiten eine dramatische Zocker-Story mit einem hervorragenden Philip Seymour Hoffman in der Hauptrolle. Leider haben sich in der Erzählung viele unnötige Längen eingeschlichen, die das kühle Drama oft müde wirken lassen." (Prisma)

 Carsten Baumgardt, filmstarts.de, bezeichnete den Film als "intensiv" und schrieb: "Wenn die (Film)Welt gerecht wäre, hätte er eine Oscarnominierung bekommen. (…) Aber immerhin hielt sich der Film, der mit maximal 24 Kopien lief, gut fünf Monate in den US-Kinos."

Auszeichnungen
 2004: Vancouver Film Critics Circle Award Philip Seymour Hoffman als bester Schauspieler
 2004: Chlotrudis Award für Philip Seymour Hoffman als bester Schauspieler
 2004: vier Nominierungen bei den Genie Awards:
 Alessandro Camon, Seaton McLean, Andras Hamori für den besten Film

 Maurice Chauvet für das beste Drehbuch.
 2005: nominiert für den Internationalen Literaturfilmpreis

Hintergrundinformationen
Der biographische Film basiert auf dem Buch Stung: The Incredible Obsession of Brian Molony von Gary Stephen Ross. Das Buch war 1987 sechs Monate lang in der Bestsellerliste und gewann einige Preise. Der Autor übernahm 1982 aus Zeitungsartikeln in Toronto die Idee dieser wahren Geschichte über den größten Ein-Mann-Bankbetrug in der Geschichte Kanadas.
Der wirkliche Dan Mahowny war jahrelang spielsüchtig. Er verbüßte seine Gefängnisstrafe und hat nach einer Therapie nie wieder ein Spielcasino betreten. Er hat seine Freundin geheiratet und ist Berater einer Firma, die gegen Betrug ermittelt.

Das Budget des Films betrug etwa 10 Millionen US-Dollar, gedreht wurde ab März 2001. Produziert wurde der Film von der kanadischen Medienfirma Alliance Atlantis.

Der Film wurde am 23. Januar 2003 auf dem Sundance Film Festival uraufgeführt. Er lief bei den Internationalen Filmfestspielen in Berlin 2003 in der Sektion Panorama.
Der Film lief ab Oktober 2004 in den deutschen Kinos.

Seit Mai 2005 gibt es DVDs in Deutsch und Englisch. Sie enthalten deutsche Untertitel und ein Making of. Der Spielerfilm wurde im März 2006 erstmals im deutschen Fernsehen gezeigt.

Später wurde der Film auch unter dem Titel Nichts geht mehr – Das Millionenspiel des Dan Mahowny auf DVD veröffentlicht.

Those ex pupils of Clarendon School who are familiar with the website may have read the various comments from ex pupil Geoff Sweetland. Geoff sadly died in Australia on 9th February 2017. His funeral was attended by Len Kerswill a long term friend of Geoff and also an ex pupil of Clarendon School. The following was written by Len and contributed to "Our Oxhey" in memory of Geoff.
Geoff Sweetland, a larger than life character, grew up on the estate in the late 1950's and early 60's. He attended Little Furze Junior School followed by Clarendon Secondary School. In the later years whilst still at school Geoff helped his father Jim distributing the local evening newspaper.These were collected from the platform at Carpenders Park Station after arriving on the London train Geoff would often be seen diving from a bright orange van with bundles of the Evening News distrubuting them to shops and newspaper venders. He would also be seen, on Saturday nights selling bags of peanuts outside Watford FC at the Greyhound Racing meetings..
Eventually, Geoff got tired of being paid peanuts and began an apprenticeship as a carpenter on the two tower blocks of flats on the Meriden Estate, in North Watford.
To supplement his income Geoff became a bouncer at the California Ballroom in Dunstable. Dressed in his smart suit, white shirt and bow tie he caught the eye of a certain young lady, Lynda Driver. Going all out to impress her Geoff changed his title from 'bouncer' to 'steward'. His position put him in close contact with all the performing celebrities. These included The Hollies, Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones, The Kinks to name a few.
In 1970 Geoff joined the Bedfordshire police force and married Lynda..
Later in life Geoff became a supervisor for Alcan installing double glazed windows.He also started his own successful 'Home Improvement' business with his wife.
Geoff died in hospital, two years after being diagnosed with a terminal lung disease but he was determined to reach his 70th birthday and this goal he achieved dying four days after.
Geoff was very proud of his South Oxhey roots and felt his background gave him the determination to succeed in life.

Textile industry takes a toll on environment, says WWF
The textile and clothing industry, which emits 1.7 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, is taking a toll on the environment, according to the WWF Switzerland. In its analysis of the global textile industry with respect to its impact on the nature, the organisation has found that only a few companies pay attention to the environment.
Photo: Archive
Based on data provided by Oekom research AG, the report classifies 12 companies into visionary, ambitious, upper midfield, lower midfield, latecomers or intransparent categories. The results show that none of the surveyed companies was ranked in the highest classification of 'visionary'. H&M was classified as ambitious; Nike, Adidas and Mammut were ranked in the upper midfield; VF Corporation (The North Face and Timberland brands), Hugo Boss, Odlo and Calida ended up in the lower midfield; and Triumph, Chicorée, PKZ and Tally Weijl were classified into latecomers or intransparent group.
The clothing industry is responsible for extensive water use and pollution, and produces 2.1 billion tonnes of waste annually, as per the report. Also, global consumption of clothes has doubled between 2000 and 2014. On a global average, every person buys 5 kilogram of clothes per year, but in Europe and the US the figure is as high as 16 kilogram. Overall apparel consumption is projected to rise even further, from 62 million tonnes in 2015 to 102 million tonnes in 2030. This projected increase in global fashion consumption will create further environmental stress and risks.
The report urges the companies to make improvements in the following material aspects: strategy to operate within the planet's ecological boundaries; climate change; water management and stewardship; raw materials; joint environmental management in the supply chain; chemicals management; investment, stakeholder engagement and responsibility for public policy; and new business models to decouple consumption from resource use.
Consumers can contribute to reduce the industry's environmental impact by buying less; simplifying their style and wardrobe; by using timeless, high-quality clothes and enriching those with accessories and second-hand items; maintaining their clothes; bringing them to a recycling facility; buying organic, green and high quality items; and creating awareness.

Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer. Photo: World Economic Forum.
Outgoing Governor of the Bank of Israel Prof. Stanley Fischer is refusing to rule out the possibility of replacing U.S. Fed Chief Ben Barnanke, the Financial Times reported Thursday.
When Fischer announced he would be leaving his post, rumors began to circulate that he could be tapped as the next Fed Chief. Bernanke, his former pupil when he was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is expected to step down after his 2nd four year term ends in 2014.


Weight Loss Tip #29: Eat Out Without Pigging Out - Health Tips And More!
Eating out is a completely do-able option while you are dieting, but you will need to plan ahead for success. Restaurant food usually has a lot of flavor, and many times it is because of the excess oils, fats, and dressings they place on the food. There are a few simple ways to dine out, enjoy your meal, and still stick to your diet that will make your life a little bit easier! For example on average around 4 tablespoons of salad dressing are added to restaurant salads, when only one or two tablespoons will do the job. Getting your dressing on the side will save up room for other more meaningful calories, or just save you calories off of your daily amount in general.
If you know ahead of time where you will be dining out, do your research on the menu and compare items before getting to the restaurant. It is more common now than ever before that restaurants have online menus to take a look at, and they can be accessed right on your smart phone. Once you have found the healthiest item that looks good to you, make the decision to order that before you even get to the restaurant. By making up your mind early, your decision when it comes time to order won't be easily swayed to an unhealthy choice. Try and order first, so that you do not feel peer pressured into ordering something unhealthy just to fit in with the group.
Many times when we go to restaurants we are temped with unlimited amounts of breadbaskets or never-ending rounds of chips and salsa that only amount to unwanted fat and calories. Just try and say no all together to these items, because they can set you up for major calorie intake without even realizing it. If it seems too hard to avoid if it is sitting on the table, just ask your server to remove it from the table so that you are not temped while waiting for your meal to arrive. You will have more room in your stomach for your meal, and you won't be overdoing it on your calories for the night, so it is a win win.
Instead of adding a few sides to your healthy meal, just add more veggies instead. When you leave off the fries, coleslaw, potatoes, and whatever else may be offered you will have an easier time sticking to your diet. Double or even triple the amount of veggies will have you feeling great by the end of the evening, and you will be full and satisfied too!
We all know that appetizers are great pre-meal options, but what about using the appetizer as your only meal and call it good? They are smaller in size, have less calories than a traditional meal off of the menu (usually), and they have fun and delicious options to choose from at many restaurants. Be mindful that fried appetizers are not the best option when looking to supplement your meal down in size!
Many times the dessert tray looks more delicious than ever before, but opt in for fruit instead. You will still be satisfying your sweet tooth, and you won't feel like rolling out of the restaurant after eating it either. Many times, a side of fruit is also a lot less expensive than your traditional desert which can range from $6.00-$12.00. If fruit doesn't do the trick for you, whoever is ordering dessert just have a bite or two of theirs and call it good. Overdoing it on dessert when you have put so much thought into your dinner portion will only leave you feeling over stuffed when leaving the restaurant.
Whoever said eating out is not an option when dieting clearly didn't know the tips and tricks ahead of time! If you do not have time to research the menu before you go, make a point to be decisive and confident in sticking to your diet plan when other people around you may not be making the most healthy choices. You have complete control when eating out to choose healthy options that best fit into your eating plan, so order with confidence!

Genalguacil es un municipio español de la provincia de Málaga, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. Está situado en el oeste de la provincia, en el Valle del Genal, siendo una de las poblaciones que conforman la comarca de la Serranía de Ronda y el partido judicial de Ronda.

Dista unos 45 km de Ronda y 147 km de la capital provincial. Cuenta con 393 habitantes y se encuentra a 403 .

Geografía
El municipio de Genalguacil se encuentra enclavado en el Valle del Genal. Sus 31,87 km² se extienden desde el margen izquierdo del río Genal hasta las cumbres de Sierra Bermeja, sobre un territorio abrupto y empinado.

Naturaleza
Señalar el paraje natural de Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja, donde se pueden observar pinsapos, un tipo de abeto que solamente se puede observar en algunas sierras de las provincias de Málaga y Cádiz, pinos y alcornoques sobre peridotitas, un tipo de roca de origen volcánico.

Historia
Dentro de su término municipal, en los llamados Reales Chicos, se han hallado molinillos de mano (para metales), pertenecientes a las culturas fenicia y helénica. Aquí hubo, en otro tiempo, valiosas minas de oro y de plata, hoy esquilmadas. El nombre actual proviene del árabe Genna-Alwacir que quiere decir Jardines del Visir.

Tras la llegada de los Reyes Católicos, la población musulmana siguió residiendo en esta villa, aunque dicha convivencia se rompió a mediados del , tras una sangrienta rebelión. Después de la expulsión de los musulmanes, Genalguacil fue repoblado con cristianos venidos de otras zonas cercanas. Ya en el año 1856, la villa fue entregada en señorío al duque de Arcos, hasta que una ley suprimió estos privilegios medievales.

Demografía
En el periodo comprendido entre el 2010 y el 2020 la población de Genalguacil ha descendido un 20 %, debido fundamentalmente a la emigración a las poblaciones turísticas de la Costa del Sol Occidental.

Monumentos y lugares de interés

Escultura al aire libre
El principal atractivo de este pueblo es que es un "pueblo museo". Cada dos años, artistas de todas partes se reúnen aquí para, durante una semana, hacer distintas piezas de arte que luego dejarán expuestas de manera permanente en las calles del pueblo. Genalguacil es, pues, un museo al aire libre, y caminando por sus callejuelas empedradas uno se encuentra pinturas en las paredes, esculturas, troncos tallados...; que se integran con el entorno (como una escultura de una viejecilla debajo de una cuesta, que se llama Hasta el moño de tanta cuesta). Cada detalle (números de las casas, nombres de las calles, bancos para sentarse, chimeneas) está terminado de alguna manera algo artística u original, convirtiendo el pasear por las calles en un auténtico pasillo de museo.

Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Fernando Centeno López
Fue inaugurado en 1994 y lleva su nombre en honor al exalcalde Fernando Centeno López. Las obras expuestas en este Museo pertenecen a los artistas participantes en los Encuentros de Arte de Genalguacil que organiza cada año el Ayuntamiento de Genalguacil. Las obras reflejan el entorno del Valle del Genal, ya sea a través del empleo de materiales y recursos autóctonos del lugar, o por la temática, motivo o planteamientos desarrollados.

Política y administración
Desde la vuelta de la democracia a España, con excepción de la primera legislatura, el municipio de Genalguacil ha estado gobernado por el Partido Socialista Obrero Español de Andalucía. En la actual legislatura (2015-2019) este partido tiene 5 concejales en el Ayuntamiento, mientras que el Partido Popular acapara los 2 restantes.

Economía
Señalar las 230 ha dedicadas al castaño.

Evolución de la deuda viva municipal

Transporte y comunicaciones
El único medio de transporte público para acceder al municipio es una línea de autobuses explotada por la empresa Transportes Generales Comes, que une Jubrique con Ronda, realizando paradas intermedias en Genalguacil y Algatocín. El servicio funciona de lunes a viernes excepto festivos, con un autobús por sentido al día. El autobús parte a las 7.00 de la mañana y regresa a las 13.45. El trayecto completo tiene una duración de unas 2 horas.

Cultura

Artesanía
En Genalguacil se producen artesanalmente artículos de anea y corcho, canastos de varetas de oliva y caña y esencias naturales.

Gastronomía
Son muy conocidas y demandadas las sopas de tomate y gazpacho caliente, los revueltos de ajetes y setas y el salmorejo de carne, así como las chacinas.

Fiestas
Genalguacil cuenta con un amplio calendario de fiestas a lo largo de todo el año que se inicia el 2 de febrero con la Candelaria. Posteriormente, el 29 de abril tiene lugar la Feria en honor del patrón, San Pedro Mártir de Verona. Como es costumbre, cuando pasa el santo por las calles se le arroja arroz desde los balcones al tiempo que se lanzan cohetes.

Durante la Semana Santa uno de sus momentos más significativos es el Domingo de Resurrección, con la celebración del Huerto del Niño, en la que la tradición del trabajo agrícola se une a la devoción por la resurrección de Cristo, que se hace visible en el encuentro entre la Virgen y el Niño Jesús. Es un acto muy emotivo en el que existe una gran participación popular.

Con la llegada del verano, también es tradicional la celebración de lo que se llama el primer baño de la temporada, en el que los vecinos bajan hasta el río Genal para darse un chapuzón y pasar el día entre amigos.

Desde 1994 se viene desarrollando en la primera quincena de agosto el Encuentro de arte Valle del Genal, ahora de carácter bienal. El Ayuntamiento ofrece a los participantes alojamiento, comida y materiales y éstos, a su vez, dejan en el pueblo las obras que realizan en las dos semanas que dura la actividad.

El tostón de castañas en noviembre y las comparsas en Navidad cierran el calendario festivo.

Entering the Sathorn Unique, the Abandoned Ghost Skyscraper in Bangkok
Jeremy Scott Foster· Updated on August 22nd, 2018

I had heard mutterings about an abandoned skyscraper in Bangkok.
It was rumored to be haunted and forsaken. If I wanted to enter, I was going to have to sneak in through holes in the rusty fence and bribe the group of junkies who guarded the first floor. I would have to enter the car park across the street, cross a rickety old bridge, and then scale the outside of a building, 50 meters in the air, with nothing but the cold, hard pavement below.
From what I could tell, entering the Sathorn Unique is like something out of a Jason Statham movie.
Standing 49 stories tall, The Sathorn Unique was slated to be the most glimmering addition to the Bangkok skyline. It was built to 80% completion during the 90's but, in 1997, the Asian economic crisis put a very abrupt end to construction, leaving the city's swankiest hotel a skeleton. It has since become known as Bangkok's biggest eyesore, one which most locals dare not acknowledge. They swear it's haunted, and it's far too dangerous to enter.
With a 16 hour layover in Bangkok, there was obviously only one thing to do: climb that mother.
Bangkok's biggest eyesore, The Sathorn Unique.
Armed with camera gear, flashlights and plenty of water, my climbing team and I made our way to the base of the building. Doing our best to go unnoticed, the three of us quietly slid in through the gaps in the tetanus-infested fence. Making it through without a scrape, we encountered exactly what we had been expecting: a group of junkies had taken over the first floor.
We had been spotted. A middle-aged twitchy fellow with an unkempt beard and too few teeth aggressively sidled up next to us, demanding that we leave immediately.
"Private property," he told us.
To be fair, he was right. It's illegal to enter the Sathorn Unique, but his crew squatting on the first floor was no more legal than what we were doing. We offered 200 baht ($6 USD) and he 'allowed' us 15 minutes.
Abandoned elevators on the first floor.
Not only is it illegal to enter the Sathorn Unique, but it's incredibly dangerous. Tetanus potential is high, as is misstepping and falling though a hole in the floor. And, as the hotel rooms are unfinished, there are no balcony windows separating the bedroom from a 40 story fall to your death. But, with determination to make it to the top, we disappeared from view in search of the best way up.
We knew it wasn't going to be easy.
Due to a few other people attempting to do exactly what we were (the Sathorn Unique is somewhat of a lesser-known tourist attraction for the truly adventurous), the stairwells had been blocked off with large gates welded into place, secured with shiny new padlocks.
Metal gates are welded into stairwells to prevent trespassing.
We scoured the first floor in an attempt to get to the second. We tried climbing over, under, around and through the large metal gates (we even tried climbing up the inside of the elevator shafts!), but nothing was going to work.
Looking up, we spotted a ramshackle of an air-bridge connecting the fourth floors of the hotel and the abandoned car park next door. I had heard about this bridge and, unfortunately, it appeared to be the only way in.
The air bridge connecting the car park next door to the fourth floor of the Sathorn Unique.
We made our way next door, into the parking garage, past the makeshift cat dungeon and bird cages which had been constructed by some severely drug-addled minds. This wasn't just an old car park–it was home to a lowly group of addicts. There were needles scattered around the floor and lonely old mattresses decaying in the center of the cement.
I took a moment to reflect on what I was seeing and moved on. This was turning out to be much more than I had bargained for.
I wasn't expecting this.
Having reached the third floor, we found that the entrance to the air-bridge had been welded shut. But, there was an opening on the fourth floor which would allow us to climb on top of it rather than walk through it!
Don't look down!
We would have to walk across the rickety old metal, 50 meters in the air, and then scale around the metal lattice, which had been welded into place on the other side.
It had been put there to deter people exactly like us.
We struggled with the prospect of actually going through with it; with only one day in Bangkok on my way home for Christmas, the last thing my mother needed was a no-show at the airport because her son had been flattened by the Thailand concrete.
This is what we would have to climb across and then scale, from 50 meters in the air!
Though I've been known to jump out of planes, off bridges and even the side of a 60 story building, I've always had a parachute on my back or an elastic band around my ankles. This time, though, I had no such fallback plan. All three of us wavered when propositioned with the reality of the situation and, not for a lack of trying, this became the end of our journey to the top. Not only were we going to have to climb across once to reach the summit, but we'd have to climb across a second time, in reverse, on our way back down.
All of us decided: this was not going to happen.
So, instead, we marveled at the history of this building and the potential it once held. Despite being abandoned 16 years previous, the Sathorn Unique lives on as an ever changing microcosm of its own. It's calamitous past is testament to its future and, hopefully, in a few years time, we three adventurers may return with a new set of courage and a little bit less to lose.

Name: Sathorn Unique
Getting There: Take a taxi (just over 100 baht from Khao San Road) to Charoen Krung Road (corner of Sathon Tai), or take the BTS (metro) to Saphan Taksin. As it's right on the Chao Phraya river, you could take a water taxi, as well.
Notes: A reminder that it is illegal to enter the building, and I do not advise you to do so. If you wish to take on the challenge and associated risks, however, start early in the morning and give yourself the whole day. Bring flashlights and wear sturdy footwear. Enter the next door car park from Alley 51 (visible on Google Maps).

Tony James Slater says:
Wow! I really have to try this! I'm hoping to revisit Thailand in a few months, so I'll see if I can talk the wife into a spot of urban exploring 😉 She's the camera and I do the climbing, so we'll see how far we get. Or if it's a brand new block of apartments by now…
Jeremy Scott Foster says:
Ha! I've heard they run tours there now, but I'm not totally sure. I don't think just one of you gets to do the climbing, though. It's either both of you or none of you!
Well, I was thinking of leaving her at the bottom so she can call the ambulance…
Great read, going here later this month.
Anyone know any routes that are still accessible?
I've heard that the building has been opened up for public tours, though I can't verify that. I'll be curious to know what you find out!
Randolph Hoover says:
This is so cool! Did you see any relics while you're at it? You know, some traces that random people lived there after it was abandoned?

Climbed the tower today. 1st floor stair case is now completely open which means you can easily walk all the way too the top without having to cross the bridge. That said not sure for how much longer this will be the case.
It's not all that dangerous, a torch and a careful step is enough.
Also I think due to a recent suicide and/or development there are no dogs or homeless. The car park appears to be being used by construction workers to park their Utes. Only ran into a few fellow explorers and workers.
Jeremy Foster says:
Wow, it seems like things have changed quite a bit there recently. I wonder if it's under development now.
Gloria @NomadicChica says:
Wow! This is great! I was looking that building so many times and wondering what was inside….happy to finally see what's there. I'm sure was lot of fun! Great day trip! lol
It sure does stand out, doesn't it?
Sab says:
What a unique experience!! I heard crazy stories from people climbing up the elevator tunnel because they problems to access the top…
I actually made my way up to the Sathorn Unique Tower and I have to say, it was exhausting as hell. Walking all the stairs up to the 50th floor, and that's in an almost pitchblack staircase is no fun experience…
It was scary, and it was bloody dangerous, too. Would not recommend anyone doing it. The only rewarding thing was the view from top of the Sathorn Unique Tower. It was like having my private roof terrace overlooking Bangkok!
Would I do it again? Hell… NO! Here is my experience about my climb into the Sathorn Unique Tower: http://www.justonewayticket.com/2012/12/13/exploration-of-an-abandoned-skyscraper-in-bangkok-the-sathorn-unique-building/
Sab, your experience was actually the one that inspired me to go check the place out! We tried to climb the elevator shaft, but it had been blocked off! We tried EVERYTHING and simply couldn't get to the top without crossing that bridge!
Yep, super dangerous. I'm glad you made it to the top, though. Looks pretty incredible!
That is a really interesting building, I have never heard of it before. Wish I had known about it while I was in Bangkok, would have visited 🙂
Escape Hunter says:
Another peculiar attraction not to be missed.
It's increasingly popular in the travel bloggers' community.
Graefyl says:
Nice one Jeremy. Passed post onto friend who does urban decay photography.
Thanks, Graefyl!
Vanessa (@Turnipseeds) says:
There is a great passage in Gregory David Roberts' "Shantaram" that details the (more hygienic and friendly) communities living in an abandoned high rise construction project in Mumbai
That book is next on my reading list. I've heard incredible things about it!
Green Global Travel says:
Crazy, man. I love adventure as much as the next guy, but I don't do heights unless there's some sort of safety rope attached.
Yeah, this one was an adventure, for sure!
Sand in my Suitcase says:
Now this is seriously adventurous (and off-the-grid). Good for you! When we've visited Bangkok, we've enjoyed the usual attractions – longtail boat rides on the Chao Phraya River, the Grand Palace, silk shops…
Keep this one on your list for next time!

Hollywood Classics - Welcome to Our Generation USA!
along with the Film Industry that began in and adjacent to Hollywood, California, including Actors, Movies and other works originating from that classical Hollywood period.
The cinema of the United States, often generally referred to as Hollywood, has had a profound effect on cinema across the world since the early 20th century.
The dominant style of American cinema is Classical Hollywood Cinema, which developed from 1917 to 1960 and characterizes most films to this day. While the French Lumière Brothers are generally credited with the birth of modern cinema, it is American cinema that soon became the most dominant force in an emerging industry.
Since the 1920s, the American film industry has grossed more money every year than that of any other country.
The United States was in the forefront of sound film development in the following decades. Since the early 20th century, the U.S. film industry has largely been based in and around Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Picture City, Florida was also a planned site for a movie picture production center in the 1920s, but due to the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, the idea collapsed and Picture City returned to its original name of Hobe Sound.
Director D. W. Griffith was central to the development of film grammar. Orson Welles's Citizen Kane (1941) is frequently cited in critics' polls as the greatest film of all time.
and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).
Today, American film studios collectively generate several hundred movies every year, making the United States one of the most prolific producers of films in the world.
During the "golden age" of Hollywood, The Big Eight referred to the eight major Hollywood movie studios. Since then, the number of major studios has fluctuated; with bankruptcies (RKO Radio Pictures), mergers (United Artists), downsizing (MGM) and the promotion of what was previously a minor studio (The Walt Disney Company), as of 2018, there is currently a Big Six.
20th Century Fox - now owned by 21st Century Fox.
Columbia Pictures - now owned by Sony.
MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) - now owned by MGM Holdings.
Paramount Pictures - now owned by Viacom.
RKO Radio Pictures - defunct c. 1957.
United Artists - purchased by MGM, a subsidiary of MGM Holdings.
Universal Studios - now a part of NBCUniversal, a division of Comcast.
Warner Bros. - a division of Time Warner.
Nestor Studio, Hollywood's first movie studio, 1912By 1912, major motion-picture companies had set up production near or in Los Angeles. In the early 1900s, most motion picture patents were held by Thomas Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company in New Jersey, and filmmakers were often sued to stop their productions.
To escape this, filmmakers began moving out west, where Edison's patents could not be enforced. Also, the weather was ideal and there was quick access to various settings. Los Angeles became the capital of the film industry.
Director D. W. Griffith was the first to make a motion picture in Hollywood. His 17-minute short film In Old California (1910) was filmed for the Biograph Company. Although Hollywood banned movie theaters—of which it had none—before annexation that year, Los Angeles had no such restriction.
The first film by a Hollywood studio, Nestor Motion Picture Company, was shot on October 26, 1911. The H. J. Whitley home was used as its set, and the unnamed movie was filmed in the middle of their groves at the corner of Whitley Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard.
In 1923, a large sign, reading HOLLYWOODLAND, was erected in the Hollywood Hills. Its purpose was to advertise a housing development. In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce entered a contract with the City of Los Angeles to repair and rebuild the sign. The agreement stipulated that "LAND" be removed to spell "HOLLYWOOD" so the sign would now refer to the district, rather than the housing development.
After years of serious decline in the 1980s, many Hollywood landmarks were threatened with demolition. Columbia Square, at the northwest corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street, is part of the ongoing rebirth of Hollywood.
The Art Deco-style studio complex completed in 1938, which was once the Hollywood headquarters for CBS, became home to a new generation of broadcasters when cable television networks MTV, Comedy Central, BET and Spike TV consolidated their offices here in 2014 as part of a $420-million office, residential and retail complex.
Since 2000, Hollywood has been increasingly gentrified due to revitalization by private enterprise and public planners.
Mexico (21.3%) and Guatemala (13%) were the most common places of birth for the 53.8% of the residents who were born abroad, a figure that was considered high for the city as a whole.
The median household income in 2008 dollars was $33,694, considered low for Los Angeles.
The average household size of 2.1 people was also lower than the city norm. Renters occupied 92.4% of the housing units, and home- or apartment owners the rest.
In 2000, there were 2,828 military veterans, or 4.5%, a low rate for the city as a whole.
On January 22, 1947, the first commercial television station west of the Mississippi River, KTLA, began operating in Hollywood.
In December of that year, The Public Prosecutor became the first network television series to be filmed in Hollywood.Television stations KTLA and KCET, both on Sunset Boulevard, are the last broadcasters (television or radio) with Hollywood addresses, but KCET has since sold its studios on Sunset and plans to move to another location.
KNBC moved in 1962 from the former NBC Radio City Studios at the northeast corner of Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street to NBC Studios in Burbank.
KTTV moved in 1996 from its former home at Metromedia Square on Sunset Boulevard to West Los Angeles, and KCOP left its home on La Brea Avenue to join KTTV on the Fox lot.
KCBS-TV and KCAL-TV moved from their longtime home at CBS Columbia Square on Sunset Boulevard to a new facility at CBS Studio Center in Studio City.
The annual Hollywood Christmas Parade: The 2006 parade on Nov 26 was the 75th edition of the Christmas Parade. The parade goes down Hollywood Boulevard and is broadcast in the Los Angeles area on KTLA, and around the United States on Tribune-owned stations and the WGN superstation.The Hollywood Half Marathon takes place in April (since 2012) of each year, to raise funds and awareness for local youth homeless shelters. The event includes a Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and Kids Fun Run along Hollywood Blvd.

Classical Hollywood cinema, classical Hollywood narrative, and classical continuity are terms used in film critique which designate both a narrative and visual style of film-making which developed in and characterized US American cinema between 1917 and the early 1960s and eventually became the most powerful and pervasive style of film-making worldwide.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame comprises more than 2,600 five-pointed terrazzo and brass stars embedded in the sidewalks along 15 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street in Hollywood, California.
The Walk of Fame is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and maintained by the self-financing Hollywood Historic Trust. It is a popular tourist destination, with a reported 10 million visitors in 2003.
Hollywood Boulevard is a major east–west street in Los Angeles, California. It begins in the west as a winding residential street at Sunset Plaza Drive in the Hollywood Hills West district.
After crossing Laurel Canyon Boulevard, it proceeds due east as a major thoroughfare through Hollywood, Little Armenia and Thai Town to Vermont Avenue. It then runs southeast to its eastern terminus at Sunset Boulevard in the Los Feliz district.
Parts of the boulevard are popular tourist destinations, primarily the fifteen blocks between La Brea Avenue east to Gower Street where the Hollywood Walk of Fame is primarily located.

Artists were barred from work on the basis of their membership, alleged membership in, or sympathy with the Communist Party USA, or their refusal to assist investigations into the party's activities. Even during the period of its strictest enforcement, from the late 1940s through to the late 1950s, the blacklist was rarely made explicit or verifiable, but it directly damaged the careers of scores of individuals working in the film industry.
The first systematic Hollywood blacklist was instituted on November 25, 1947, the day after ten writers and directors were cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. A group of studio executives, acting under the aegis of the Association of Motion Picture Producers, fired the artists - the so-called Hollywood Ten - and made what has become known as the Waldorf Statement.
On June 22, 1950, a pamphlet entitled Red Channels was published. Focused on the field of broadcasting, it identified 151 entertainment industry professionals in the context of "Red Fascists and their sympathizers". Soon, most of those named, along with a host of other artists, were barred from employment in most of the entertainment field.
The blacklist lasted until 1960, when Dalton Trumbo, a Communist Party member from 1943 to 1948 and member of the Hollywood Ten, was credited as the screenwriter of the highly successful film Exodus, and later publicly acknowledged by actor Kirk Douglas for writing the screenplay for the movie Spartacus. A number of those blacklisted, however, were still barred from work in their professions for years afterward.

In the American and international markets, the major film studios, often simply known as the majors, are commonly regarded as the six diversified media conglomerates whose various film production and distribution subsidiaries collectively command approximately 80 to 85% of U.S. box office revenue. The term may also be applied more specifically to the primary motion picture business subsidiary of each respective conglomerate.
The "Big Six" majors, whose operations are based in or around the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood, are all centered in film studios active during Hollywood's Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s.
In three cases--20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., and Paramount Pictures—the studios were one of the "Big Five" majors during that era as well.
In two cases--Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures—the studios were also considered majors, but in the next tier down, part of the "Little Three".
The sixth, Walt Disney Studios, was an independent production company during the Golden Age; it was an important Hollywood entity, but not a major.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, RKO, and United Artists were Golden Age majors that survive now only as relatively small independent companies or, in UA's case, a brand name.
Disney is the only member of the Big Six whose parent entity is still located near Los Angeles (on Disney's studio lot and in the same building). The five others report to conglomerates respectively headquartered in New York City, Philadelphia, and Tokyo.
Of the Big Six, Paramount is the only one still based in Hollywood proper; furthermore, Paramount and Fox are the only ones still located within the Los Angeles city limits, while Disney and Warner Bros. are located in Burbank, Columbia in Culver City, and Universal in the unincorporated area of Universal City.
Most of today's Big Six control subsidiaries with their own distribution networks that concentrate on arthouse pictures (e.g. Fox Searchlight Pictures) or genre films (e.g. Sony's Screen Gems); several of these specialty units were shut down or sold off between 2008 and 2010.
The six major studios are contrasted with smaller production and/or distribution companies, which are known as independents or "indies". The leading independent producer/distributors such as Lionsgate, STX Entertainment, and Open Road Films are sometimes referred to as "mini-majors".
From 1998 through 2005, DreamWorks SKG commanded a large enough market share to arguably qualify it as a seventh major, despite its relatively small output. In 2006, DreamWorks was acquired by Viacom, Paramount's corporate parent. In late 2008, DreamWorks once again became an independent production company; its films were distributed by Disney's Touchstone Pictures until 2016, at which point distribution switched to Universal.
The Big Six major studios are today primarily backers and distributors of films whose actual production is largely handled by independent companies—either long-running entities or ones created for and dedicated to the making of a specific film.
The specialty divisions often simply acquire distribution rights to pictures in which the studio has had no prior involvement. While the majors still do a modicum of true production, their activities are focused more in the areas of development, financing, marketing, and merchandising.
Those business functions are still usually performed in or near Los Angeles, even though the runaway production phenomenon means that most films are now mostly or completely shot on location at places outside Los Angeles.
Since the dawn of filmmaking, the U.S. major film studios have dominated both American cinema and the global film industry. U.S. studios have benefited from a strong first-mover advantage in that they were the first to industrialize filmmaking and master the art of mass-producing and distributing high-quality films with broad cross-cultural appeal.
Today, the Big Six majors routinely distribute hundreds of films every year into all significant international markets (that is, where discretionary income is high enough for consumers to afford to watch films).
It is very rare, if not impossible, for a film to reach a broad international audience on multiple continents and in multiple languages without first being picked up by one of the majors for distribution.
Pictured below: The Hollywood Studio System contributed massively to the success of film's as a whole. It allowed the largest studios of the time to control the majority of the film industry.
The Hollywood studio system (which was used during a period known as the Golden Age of Hollywood) is a method of film production and distribution dominated by a small number of "major" studios in Hollywood.
Although the term is still used today as a reference to the systems and output of the major studios, historically the term refers to the practice of large motion picture studios between the 1920s and 1960s of (a) producing movies primarily on their own filmmaking lots with creative personnel under often long-term contract, and (b) dominating exhibition through vertical integration, i.e., the ownership or effective control of distributors and exhibition, guaranteeing additional sales of films through manipulative booking techniques such as block booking.
The studio system was challenged under the anti-trust laws in a 1948 Supreme Court ruling which sought to separate production from the distribution and exhibition and ended such practices, thereby hastening the end of the studio system.
By 1954, with television competing for audience and the last of the operational links between a major production studio and theater chain broken, the historic era of the studio system was over.
The period stretching from the introduction of sound to the beginning of the demise of the studio system, 1927–1948, is referred to by some film historians as the Golden Age of Hollywood.
The Golden Age is a purely technical distinction and not to be confused with the style in film criticism known as Classical Hollywood cinema, a style of American film which developed from 1917 to 1963 and characterizes it to this day.
Two majors--Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures—were similarly organized, though they never owned more than small theater circuits.
The eighth of the Golden Age majors, United Artists, owned a few theaters and had access to two production facilities owned by members of its controlling partnership group, but it functioned primarily as a backer-distributor, loaning money to independent producers and releasing their films.
The Burbank Studios (formerly known as NBC Studios) is a television production facility located in Burbank, California. The studio is home to Days of Our Lives, the IHeartRadio Theater, and the Blizzard eSports Arena (home of the Overwatch League).

The families of the women political prisoners in " Rejaei Shahr " prison, whose loved one's were transfered from "Rejaei shahr" to "Gharechak" in the city of Varamin said; "Gharechak" prison in the city of Varamin is the 2nd "Kahrizak " prison.

Several Islamic Republic regime officials including Hossein Taeb, judge Said Mortazavi , Radan , Zolnoor and ....are suspect to these murders.Because of disclosure about Kahrizak prison by the green movement leaders including Mr. Karoubi more attention were focused on that prison.

In a letter to Mr. Mohammad Sadegh Larijani the head of judiciary power, the women political prisoners asked: "What is the goal of treansfering the political prisoners to a prison located far from their place of residence (Internal exile)? Is it not to create a condition for their gradual death ?
The "Gharechak " prison like "Kahrizak " prison is located around Tehran. The families of the women political prisoners have no news about their loved ones and are worried about their situation.

Statement by Ahmad Zeidabadi, laureate of the 2011 UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize.
I would like to greet the honourable Director General of UNESCO, as well as the members of the Prize Jury for their efforts and for the honour they have bestowed upon me with the award of the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize.
I feel sad and apologetic for not being able to draft a message worthy of the occasion and your gathering. As you may be aware, the Revolutionary Court in addition to sentencing me to six years' imprisonment, five years of exile and a lifetime ban on political, social and journalistic activity has also banned me forever from any writing and speaking. Therefore, any message by me would add to my suffering and that of my family.
Despite that restriction, I would like to make it clear that in the performance of my profession, I had no means but my pen and my speech and that in using those means, I never went beyond the narrow and limited confines of the Iranian government's laws and regulations. But, in violation of their own laws and regulations, they have imposed pain and suffering beyond my endurance -- pain and suffering resembling those of a person who is crucified for weeks or buried alive.
While in prison, I constantly strive to forgive, but I cannot forget.
Finally, in accepting this Prize which is in reality a recognition of all prisoners of opinion in my country and my imprisoned or exiled colleagues, I dedicate it to my family and in particular to my wife and children. In addition to the psychological pains of these two years, they have for the past ten years had to live with the dread of an expected "knock on the door." With every unexpected knock on the door, their fragile and innocent hearts were agitated.
I also dedicate this Prize to the mother of Sohrab Arabi* and all other heartbroken mothers whose sons never returned home. I dedicate it to all tearful mothers, sisters, daughters and the children who live with the pain of having their loved ones in prison.
For remembering us, God will remember and reward you.
(Toronto, May 3, 2011) Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) is troubled by the disappearance of Al Jazeera journalist Dorothy Parvaz, who has not been heard from since April 29, 2011, when she arrived in Syria. She is presumed to be in the custody of the Syrian government.
Parvaz has American, Canadian and Iranian citizenship, and entered Syria under her Iranian passport. She arrived in Damascus on a Qatar Airways flight, but has not been heard from since she arrived at the airport. Al Jazeera has stated that they are concerned for her safety and are "requesting full cooperation from the Syrian authorities to determine how she was processed at the airport and what her current location is." She has worked for Al Jazeera since 2010, and recently covered the tsunami and earthquake in Japan.
Parvaz's family has issued a statement describing her as a determined journalist, "dedicated to the profession as a force for peace and justice in the world." Her family believes that she is being held by government authorities in Syria. Parvaz was sent to Syria to cover the antigovernment protests. The Syrian government has not confirmed or denied whether she has been arrested.
The Iranian foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, has demanded that the government of Syria look into the matter. In a letter to the Canadian government, CJFE urged the government to add its voice and call upon Syrian authorities to cooperate fully in locating Parvaz and to ensure her safety and immediate release.
Since the current strife began in mid-March, many local journalists and bloggers have been detained, most of whom remain in custody. Journalists known to have been detained by Syrian authorities include Omar Koush (a Syrian journalist arrested at the Damascus airport on May 2), Fayez Sara (a Syrian journalist arrested on April 11), Mohamed Zaid Mistou (a Norwegian journalist of Syrian origin arrested on April 7), Doha Hassan (a photographer and journalist detained on March 26) and Kamal Sheikhou (a Syrian blogger arrested on March 15). Jordanian journalists Akram Abu Safi and Sobhie Naeem Al-Assal were detained on March 24 and released April 6. Algerian journalist Khaled Sid Mohand was arrested on April 9 but released today.
Restrictions have been placed on media organizations operating in Syria and almost all foreign media has been banned making it difficult for information to reach the outside world and even circulate within the country. It appears that the government has responded quickly and harshly to antigovernment protests, with the intention of immediately silencing the protesters by any means necessary. Reports indicate that hundreds of protestors have been killed. In response to restrictions and attacks on its staff, Al Jazeera suspended its operations in Syria indefinitely on April 27.

More dispute and tension among Islamic Republic regime officials!
The talk of the week in Iran : Ahmadinejad's Government has relation with "Jinn"(witch's) !
Continuation of differences among Khamenei and Ahmadinejad to a new stage.
After a dispute between Ahmadinejad and Moslehi the Minister of Information and his subsequent resignation and the acceptance of his resignation by Ahmadinejad and then Khamenei's intervention and reinstating Moslehi to his position, and because of this , Ahmadinejad did not attend in his cabinet meetings for more than a week.
the current talk among Iranian is that; the government of Ahmadinejad has relation with " Jinn " (witch's) . The Government of "Jinn and fairies" . This Government acts as a band (Mafia). Mr.Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei was the deputy president and head of presidential office and he is also the father inlaw of Ahmadinejad's son.According to report, Rahim Mashaei is the master mind of theories or philosophy behind president and not Mr. Samareh Hashemi who everyone thought so. In recent months Rahim Mashaei brought a discourse on "Jomhouri Irani " (Iranian style of Republic) and "Islame Irani " (Iranian style of Islam ) during his speech.He also defended Syrus the great and displayed the ancient historic "Human rights cylinder " ( Syrus the great human rights charter on a clay cylinder)in Iran for public to see.This discourse brought uproar among radical clergies and ayatollah's. So, the radical clergies and ayatollahs reacted against this discourse and therefore attacked Ahmadinejad and Rahim Mashaei.Some of the clerics even went further asked God to kill him (Rahim Mashaei). Based on the talks among radical clerics and Ayatollahs and publication of those talks , Rahim Mashaei and his circle have relation with "Jinn" or witch's/witchcraft and magics. The Clerics and Ayatollahs also feel being threatened by Rahim Mashaei and company on the discourse of "Iranian style of Republic ", a discourse against Islam and the clerics. Recently a video clip in mass number was released into the public known as " Zohoor Nazdik Ast" ( The advent or appearance of the 12th Imam is close), which also created uproar among Ayatollahs, those who believe Rahim Mashaei is into something and creating a situation preparing for his presidency in the next presidential election or strengthening his position as well as Ahmadinejad's and their bandits (Mafia) against the Khamenei's. Because of all these ,just in last week 25 members of Mashaei -Ahmadinejad witch hunting circle including Cleric Amirifar, the Imam of the presidential palace were arrested.
As if the historic land of Persia and the cultured people of Iran had something lacking or missing and that was having relation with "Jinn" ( the Witch's). On this note i would like to congratulate the Islamic Republic for creating a Government in the 21st century having relation with "Jinn" or" Jinn and fairies" (the witch's) and superstitions.
What a world they are in!?
Focus on political prisoners in Iran!And now about Zia Nabavi the Iranian political prisoner.Zia speaks about"Karoon"prison in Ahwaz city !
" What is going on here is undescribable.I haven't experienced this conditions before and i haven't even heard or red about it anywhere.No film or story showed or told about this conditions .Lots of people in a small space with no place to walk or an open area to breat.For the last few months that i'm here , i'm losing the concept of human lives from my mind."
"The main and biggest problem of "Karoon prison" is the massive number of population, for example in ward number 6 where i live ,there must be 110 people based on the number of beds, but on average there asre 300 people, this means three times more. This is in a way that ; even if the people stand close to each other , there would be no space in the rooms. Therefore, lots of people including me sleep on the floor. Close to 1/3 rd of the prison population sleep in prison yard ( Hayat Khab), under the heat of the sun or cold . There are prisoners who do not have place to sleep ,therefore sometimes when it rain they sleep in "Cheragh Khaneh" ( Kitchen) or in Bathroom or washroom.This is horrendous ,but my only hope is to stay alive. While the ward number 6 is known as "Security ward" but only 1/6 of the prisoners are political or prisoners with security issue, but the rest are drug dealers or robberers. The other problem is the deteriorating swage system, where rat and cockroaches comes out of the pipes. another problem which is more serious is the leakage from swage system and the smell , which causes theose who sleep in the yard to look for another place to sleep.Since the prisoners have no other place , they return to the same smelly area to seat or sleep."
Zia Nabavi was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment (with internal exile)by judge Pirabbasi, judege of the division 26 of the court of revolution.This sentencing later was reduced to 11 years imprisonment.Zia is accused of having relation with "Mojahedin Khalgh" organization, which he denied and he expressed his dislike of this organization.

She lives in America. Her two daughters are also living outside Iran.
This is the destiny and story of almost all Iranians who are independent journalists,writers,film makers , student activists, women rights advocates, human rights defenders , impartial lawyers , leader of the workers and religious minorities like Bahai's or ethnic minorities like Kurdish under the Islamic regime.
Siamak Pourzand was either in prison or in hospital due to his health condition since 2001.He was in prison under security organizations of the Islamic Republic and he was banned from leaving the country.
Siamak Pourzand started his career in 1952 as journalist with " Bakhtar Emrooz " the newspaper managed by Doctor Fatemi the Foreign Minister of Doctor Mohammad Mossadeq the prime Minister of national Government.He was arrested first by Islamic Republic regime security agents at the end of Automn in 2001. While in prison Siamak Pourzand was held in solitary confinementfor months and was under physical and mental torture. While in prison for a year ,Mr. Pourzand was banned from having his wife as his lawyer and then in a sham/kangaroo court trial he was sentenced to 11 years prison. Later his health deteriorated and he was transfered from prison to his home ,where he was under security watchdogs.
while grieving Lili pourzand told BBC Farsi TV that ; the family members during last 10 years have written many letters to regime officials ,even to Khamenei to let Mr. pourzand leave the country to join his family or assure the safety of the family to visit Mr. pourzand in Iran , but none were answered or fulfilled.
Lili pourzand the daughter of Siamak porzand said: "On Friday night i spoke with my father , and told him to go to the hospital for treatment and he promised me to do that , and for follow up ,i called at home several time on that night, at the end a person told me that he has died ."
Siamak Pourzand a senior journalist ,80 years old, ended his life by jumping from the six floor balcony and became free at last.
The tragic life of Mr. Siamak Pourzand and hundereds or may be thousands other Iranian are the real situation that need to be addressed and why UN must intervene fast.

Who isn't planning for the apocalypse, be it nuclear, plague, zombie or alien in origin? Now you can do it like a boss.
The best part of a survival bunker is installing a thick glass portal to watch your neighbors begging to be let in after spending all those years laughing at you.
Now you can do all that and more in style with these luxury condos that can withstand a nuclear attack.
When Tyler Allen agreed to fork over $3 million in cash for a luxury condominium near Concordia, Kan., he wasn't attracted by the indoor swimming pool, 17-seat movie theater, or hydroponic vegetable garden.
The real selling point of the 1,820-square-foot apartment: It will be buried 174 feet underground in a decommissioned missile silo sturdy enough to withstand a nuclear attack.
Mr. Allen, a 45-year-old Orlando, Fla., sports bar and nightclub owner, insists he isn't a "tinfoil hat-wearing" type preparing for the end of the world.
Rather, he cites growing security threats—such as a global health pandemic, cataclysmic weather and terror attacks.
The so-called Survival Condo complex boasts full and half-floor units that cost $1.5 million to $3 million each. The building can accommodate up to 75 people, and buyers include doctors, scientists and entrepreneurs, says developer Larry Hall.

The native form of this personal name is Bródy Imre. This article uses the Western name order.
Imre Bródy (1891, Gyula, Hungary–1944, Mühldorf) was a Hungarian physicist who invented in 1930 the krypton-filled fluorescent lamps (also known as the krypton electric bulb) , with fellow-Hungarian inventors Emil Theisz, Ferenc Kőrösy and Tivadar Millner. He developed the technology of the production of krypton bulbs together with Michael Polanyi (in Hungarian Mihály Polányi). He was the nephew of writer Sándor Bródy.
Educated in Budapest, he wrote his doctoral thesis on the chemical constant of monatomic gases. After teaching in a high school, he became an assistant professor in applied physics at the University of Sciences and accomplished valuable theoretical work investigating specific heat and molecular heat. From 1920 he worked with Max Born as assistant to the professor in Göttingen. They jointly worked out the dynamic theory of crystals. He returned home in 1923 and worked at Tungsram as an engineer to his death.
Later in life, Bródy worked on new light source problems. He stayed with his family after the German occupation of Hungary in 1944, and the immunity promised by the factory to him could not save his life. Being Jewish, he was murdered on 20 December 1944, at age 53, in Mühldorf subcamp, a satellite system of the Dachau concentration camp, a victim of the Holocaust.
The research institute of Tungsram, now part of General Electric, in Budapest is named after him.
Bródy in 1930 filled lamps with krypton gas in lieu of argon. Since the new gas was expensive, he developed a process with his colleagues to obtain krypton from air. Production of krypton filled lamps based on his invention started at Ajka in 1937, in a factory co-designed by Polányi and Hungarian-born physicist Egon Orowan. The invention was the most economic bulb in the age, a real sensation at the time, which for decades was one of the most successful export products of Hungary, however the factory was destroyed by the German Wehrmacht in 1942 and Germany became the biggest exporter of krypton bulbs until the 1990s.

Melania Gives Pep Talk to Border Control Agents Who Separate Refugee Children from their Mothers; Sessions' Pastor Gives Him Stern Rebuke
Because of the demands of covering the consequences of the 2016 election, Apocryphal Press keeps hiring more and more associate solitary reporters.
Our chief religion correspondent and longtime associate solitary reporter, Rev. Jim Bob Hobarto, just hired Rev. Ned Rushton to cover one of Donald Trump's most favorite activities: separating young children from their parents at our southern border.
Rushton, who has a megachurch in Mesa, Arizona, was particularly interested in observing how the Border Patrol carries out Trump's Doctrine of inflicting maximum cruelty on desperate parents, and their young children, as they try to come to the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Trump, who doesn't give a hoot about much of anything except feeding his own ego and receiving the adulation of his close personal friends Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin and, of course, his base, likes to watch TV coverage of the extreme distress of mothers and children as they are separated at the border.
As Rushton, with great sadness, criticized dozens of Border Patrol agents as they pulled small children from Central America away from their mothers, who should walk in to admonish him but the third Mrs. Trump.
"Don't you see that you are interfering with God's work?" Melania demanded.
You can hardly blame Melania for following recent comments made by Trump's Attorney General, Jeff Sessions.
In a recent speech, Sessions said that Romans 13 justifies his harsh treatment of Central American refugees.
In Romans 13:1-2, the Apostle Paul says: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment."
Sessions is a Sunday school teacher at Ashland Place United Methodist Church in Mobile.
The motto of Ashland Place United Methodist Church is "Open Heats. Open Minds. Open Doors."
So Rev. Rushton asked Ashland Place's senior pastor, Rev. Dr. Sterling Boykin, whether Sessions' treatment of refugees at the border is consistent with his church's motto.
"Ned," Boykin said, "No, not at all. We're going to have to excommunicate brother Sessions and send him to the Southern Baptists. He'll be a lot more comfortable there."
Back at the border, the Border Patrol agents rallied in force to give Melania a standing ovation before she briskly stepped into an Army helicopter for the trip back to the White House.

A happy new month to all of you. Hasn't the year gone so fast? You obviously have to agree with me on that. Just the other day I was busy making unreasonable New Year resolutions that up to now I still haven't accomplished yet we are already wrapping up the year. Do these things ever work for you? For me since 2011 I have been having the same New Year resolutions and up to now I have never even accomplished any. I remember when the year started I was telling myself I would exercise every day and eat healthy yet a few days later I was indulging in unhealthy foods. I salute you who always stick to their resolutions because it's not easy after all.
All the same, time has really flown and for me this has been a year of great things owing to the fact that I finally managed to start my own blog, finish my 8-4-4 and graduate and guess what? I learnt how to play the guitar. I can't really say am good at it but the fact that I can actually play a number of songs makes it an accomplishment for me. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll be calling you to one of my gigs..Talk of valid dreams..:-) All in all as the year ends I believe you have something positive to remember about 2014.
Love that skirt and the color is beautiful!
