Le Gros et le maigre

Le Gros et le maigre ( English title : The Fat and the Lean ) is a short silent , comic film written and directed by Roman Polanski in 1961 .

Polanski shot this short film just after graduating from The National Film School in Łódź in 1959 ; it was made in France and was Polanski 's last film before the international breakthrough of his 1962 debut feature , Knife in the Water .

The Fat and the Lean features the music of Krzysztof Komeda , who composed the scores for all but one of the director 's films between Two Men and a Wardrobe ( 1958 ) and Rosemary 's Baby ( 1968 ) .

In The Fat and the Lean , Polanski plays a barefoot slave playing a flute and beating a drum to entertain his master who rocks in a rocking chair in front of his mansion in the countryside overlooking Paris .

The slave wipes his master 's brow , feeds him , washes his feet , shades him from the sun with an umbrella , and holds a urinal for him , all the while longing to escape to Paris , which we can see in the distance .

A humorous psychological game between the master and the slave transpires whereby the master attempts to prevent the slave from escaping to Paris .

The inspiration for the film appears to be the master - slave relationship between Pozzo and Lucky in Samuel Beckett 's Waiting for Godot .

Indeed , as with many of Polanski 's early short films , the influence of Beckett and the Theater of the Absurd is very strong .

The Fat and the Lean has been interpreted as allegorical work expressing Polanski 's youthful desire to flee the repressive communist regime in postwar Poland and escape to the West .

Portions of the film were featured in Marina Zenovich 's controversial 2008 documentary , .

In the context of the documentary , the situation depicted in The Fat in the Lean seems a bitterly ironic commentary on Polanski 's legal troubles during 1977 — almost fifteen years after he had left Poland and was living and working in Los Angeles as a successful Hollywood director .

The slave tries to flee to Paris ; the master gives the slave a goat in order to persuade him to stay .

But the goat is chained to the slave 's ankle , and becomes so inconvenient that the slave tries to flee once more .

The master frees the goat and unfastens the chain , and the slave is so overjoyed that he remains to serve the master with renewed vigor and enthusiasm .

If there is an allegory here it might be about human nature and subjugation .


Pramoedya Ananta Toer

Pramoedya Ananta Toer ( EYD : Pramudya Ananta Tur ) ( 6 February 1925 – 30 April 2006 ) was an Indonesian author of novels , short stories , essays , polemics and histories of his homeland and its people .

His works span the colonial period , Indonesia 's struggle for independence , its occupation by Japan during the Second World War , as well as the post - colonial authoritarian regimes of Sukarno and Suharto , and are infused with personal and national history .

The Dutch Government imprisoned him from 1947 to 1949 , the Suharto regime from 1965 to 1979 .

Pramoedya 's writings sometimes fell out of favor with the colonial and later the authoritarian native governments in power .

Pramoedya faced censorship in Indonesia during the pre - reformation era despite the fact that he was well known outside Indonesia .

The Dutch imprisoned him from 1947 to 1949 during the War of Independence ( 1945 - 1949 ) .

During the changeover ( coup ) to the Suharto regime Pramoedya was caught up in the shifting tides of political change and power struggles in Indonesia .

Suharto had him imprisoned from 1969 to 1979 on the Maluku island of Buru and branded him a Communist .

He was seen as a holdover from the previous regime ( even though he had struggled with the former Sukarno regime ) .

It was on the Island of Buru that he composed his most famous work , the Buru Quartet .

Not permitted access to writing materials , he recited the story orally to other prisoners before it was written down and smuggled out .

Pramoedya opposed some policies of founding President Sukarno as well as the New Order regime of Suharto , Sukarno 's successor .

Political criticisms were often subtle in his writing , although he was outspoken against colonialism , racism and corruption of the Indonesian new Government .

During the many years in which he suffered imprisonment and house arrest ( in Jakarta after his imprisonment on Buru ) , he became a cause célèbre for advocates of human rights and freedom of expression .

Hansberry v. Lee

Hansberry v. Lee , 311 U.S. 32 ( 1940 ) , is a famous case now usually known in civil procedure for teaching that res judicata may not bind a subsequent plaintiff who had no opportunity to be represented in the earlier civil action .

The facts of the case dealt with a racially restrictive covenant that barred African Americans from purchasing or leasing land in the Washington Park Subdivision of Chicago 's Woodlawn neighborhood .

The covenant had been upheld in a prior class action lawsuit , which had included Lee , along with all the other neighborhood landowners , as members of the class .

The defense in the present case argued that Carl Augustus Hansberry ( father of Lorraine Hansberry ) could not contest the covenant because it had already been deemed valid by the courts in the prior lawsuit .

The US Supreme Court disagreed and held that since some of the neighborhood landowners ( 46 % ) comprising the class of the prior lawsuit did not support the restrictive covenant , the previous decision that the covenant was valid could not apply to all members of that class .

In other words , it was erroneous to allow the 54 % of neighborhood landowners who had supported the restrictive covenant to represent the interests of the 46 % who were against it .

Therefore , the Supreme Court held that the restrictive covenant could be contested in court again , even though some of the parties involved may have been included in the prior class of neighborhood landowner .

Later , the type of real property restriction , racially restrictive covenants , was held by Shelley v. Kraemer , , to be state action because the plaintiffs seeking to enforce such a covenant were invoking the machinery of the state .

Marriage in Scotland

Marriage in Scotland is recognised in the form of both civil and religious unions between individuals .

Historically , the law of marriage has developed differently in Scotland to other jurisdictions in the United Kingdom as a consequence of the differences in Scots law and role of the separate established Church of Scotland .

These differences led to a tradition of couples from England and Wales eloping to Scotland , most famously to marry at border towns such as Gretna Green .

The legal minimum age to enter into a marriage in Scotland is sixteen years and does not require parental consent at any age .

In Scots law , there is a distinction between so called religious marriages , conducted by an authorised celebrant , and civil marriages , conducted by a state registrar , but anyone over the age of 21 can apply to the Registrar General for authorisation to conduct a marriage under s12 of the Marriage ( Scotland ) Act 1977 , and no form of religious ceremony is necessary .

Since a decision of the Registrar - General in 2005 , statutory references to religious marriages must be " read in " as referring to " religion or belief " , in order to ensure compatibility with the Human Rights Act 1998 and allow humanists to conduct legal humanist marriages , which like civil marriages are also non - religious .

As of 2017 , the Humanist Society Scotland conducted more marriages each year than the largest religious body , the Church of Scotland .

Civil partnerships became available to same - sex couples in the United Kingdom in 2005 and grant rights and responsibilities virtually identical to civil marriage .

In September 2011 , the Scottish Government launched a public consultation on the introduction of same - sex marriage , with the Scottish Government indicating it " tend[ed ] towards the view that same - sex marriage should be introduced " .

On 4 February 2014 , the Scottish Parliament passed a same - sex marriage bill by a vote of 105 to 18 .

Claudio Cirigliano

Sergio Claudio Cirigliano is an Argentinian businessman who , with his brother Mario , operates major rail and bus concessions in Buenos Aires and elsewhere in Argentina through the Grupo Plaza conglomerate .

One source has described the brothers as making up “ one of the most powerful business groups in the country . ”

Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage

Endurance : Shackleton 's Incredible Voyage is a bestselling book written by Alfred Lansing .

The book recounts the failure of the Imperial Trans - Antarctic Expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton in its attempt to cross the Antarctic continent in 1914 and the subsequent struggle for survival endured by the twenty - eight man crew for almost two years .

The book 's title refers to the ship Shackleton used for the expedition , the Endurance .

The ship was beset and eventually crushed by ice floes in the Weddell Sea leaving the men stranded on the pack ice .

All in all the crew drifted on the ice for just over a year .

They were able to launch their boats and somehow managed to land them safely on Elephant Island .

Shackleton then led a crew of five aboard the James Caird through the Drake Passage and miraculously reached South Georgia Island 650 nautical miles away .

He then took two of those men on the first successful overland crossing of the island .

Three months later he was finally able to rescue the remaining crew members they had left behind on Elephant Island .

Virtually every diary kept during the expedition was made available to the author and almost all the surviving members at the time of writing submitted to lengthy interviews .

The most significant contribution came from Dr. Alexander Macklin , one of the ship 's surgeons , who provided Lansing with many diaries , a detailed account of the perilous journey the crew made to Elephant Island , and months of advice .

Demi - Gods and Semi - Devils is a wuxia novel by Jin Yong ( Louis Cha ) .

It was first serialised concurrently from 3 September 1963 to 27 May 1966 in the newspapers Ming Pao in Hong Kong and Nanyang Siang Pau in Singapore .

The novel 's title has been a challenge for translators for years .

An alternative English title is Eight Books of the Heavenly Dragon .

The major characters are based on eight races of demi - gods and semi - devils described in Buddhist cosmology .

In Buddhism , these demi - gods and semi - devils are markedly different from the human race but are still bound to Saṃsāra by their own desires .

Jin originally modelled each major character after one of the races but , as he continued writing , the complexity of the story made it impossible for such a simplistic mapping .

Rescorla–Wagner model

The Rescorla – Wagner model ( " R - W " ) is a model of classical conditioning , in which learning is conceptualized in terms of associations between conditioned ( CS ) and unconditioned ( US ) stimuli .

A strong CS - US association means , essentially , that the CS signals or predicts the US .

One might say that before conditioning , the subject is surprised by the US , but after conditioning , the subject is no longer surprised , because the CS predicts the coming of the US .

The model casts the conditioning processes into discrete trials , during which stimuli may be either present or absent .

The strength of prediction of the US on a trial can be represented as the summed associative strengths of all CSs present during the trial .

This feature of the model represented a major advance over previous models , and it allowed a straightforward explanation of important experimental phenomena , most notably the blocking effect .

Failures of the model have led to modifications , alternative models , and many additional findings .

The model has had some impact on neural science in recent years , as studies have suggested that the phasic activity of dopamine neurons in mesostriatal DA projections in the midbrain encodes for the type of prediction error detailed in the model .

The Rescorla – Wagner model was created by Robert A. Rescorla of the University of Pennsylvania and Allan R. Wagner of Yale University in 1972 .

Kaldane

The Kaldanes are a fictitious sapient species existing in the region of Bantoom on the planet Barsoom in the John Carter series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs .

Introduced in the book Chessmen of Mars , the Kaldanes are almost all head , but for six arachnoid legs and a pair of chelae .

Their racial goal is to achieve pure intellect against bodily existence :

In order to function in the physical realm , the Kaldanes have bred the Rykors : a nonsentient complementary species composed of a body similar to that of a Red Martian but lacking a head ; when the Kaldane places itself upon the shoulders of the Rykor , a bundle of tentacles connects with the Rykor 's spinal cord , allowing the brain of the Kaldane to control its motor nerves and sensory nerves .

Should the Rykor become damaged or die , the Kaldane climbs upon another .

Although the Rykors breed like other animals , the Kaldanes do not breed except for their " king " :

The Kaldanes are also imbued with conscious race memory , obtained through selective breeding .

They are carnivorous , and sometimes feed upon the Rykors .

In the Wold Newton Universe , the kaldanes are mentioned as mutated Sarmaks and possibly descended from Cthulhuoids .

In Larry Niven 's Rainbow Mars , Kaldanes also appear , although they are called the Tunnel Crabs .

Airmail Flyers' Medal of Honor

The Airmail Flyers ' Medal of Honor is a United States decoration issued by the Post Office Department .

The decoration was authorized by Act of the United States Congress , February 14 , 1931 , for presentation by the President of the United States , but not in the name of the Congress .

The medal was intended to recognize any person who , while serving as a pilot in the airmail service , distinguished themselves by acts of heroism or extraordinary achievement .

Retroactive to May 15 , 1918 when the firsts continuously schedule public service airmail route was established between Washington , D.C. and New York City by way of Philadelphia .

Baroque pop

Baroque pop ( sometimes called baroque rock ) is a fusion genre that combines rock music with particular elements of classical music .

It emerged in the mid 1960s as artists pursued a majestic , orchestral sound and is identifiable for its appropriation of Baroque compositional styles ( contrapuntal melodies and functional harmony patterns ) and dramatic or melancholic gestures .

Harpsichords figure prominently , while oboes , French horns , and string quartets are also common .

Although harpsichords had been deployed for a number of pop hits since the 1940s , starting in the 1960s , some record producers increasingly placed the instrument in the foreground of their arrangements .

Inspired partly by the Beatles ' song " In My Life " ( 1965 ) , various groups were appropriating baroque and classical instrumentation by early 1966 .

The term " baroque rock " was coined in promotional material for the Left Banke , who used harpsichords and violins in their arrangements and whose 1966 song " Walk Away Renée " exemplified the style .

Baroque pop 's mainstream popularity faded by the 1970s , partially because punk rock , disco and hard rock took over ; nonetheless , music was still produced within the genre 's tradition .

Philadelphia soul in the 1970s and chamber pop in the 1990s both incorporated the spirit of baroque pop while the latter contested much of the time 's low fidelity musical aesthetic .


Arms-to-Iraq

The Arms - to - Iraq affair concerned the uncovering of the government - endorsed sale of arms by British companies to Iraq , then under the rule of Saddam Hussein .

The scandal contributed to the growing dissatisfaction with the Conservative government of John Major and may have contributed to the electoral landslide for Tony Blair 's Labour Party at the 1997 general election .

The whole affair also highlighted the weakness of the constitutional convention of individual ministerial accountability , leading to its codification as the Ministerial Code by the Blair Government .

Following the first Gulf War of 1991 there was interest in the extent to which British companies had been supplying Saddam Hussein 's administration with the materials to prosecute the war .

Four directors of the British machine tools manufacturer , Matrix Churchill , were put on trial for supplying equipment and knowledge to Iraq , but in 1992 the trial collapsed , when it was revealed that the company had been advised by the government on how to sell arms to Iraq .

Several of the directors were eventually paid compensation .


Louis Althusser

Louis Pierre Althusser ( , ; ; 16 October 1918 – 22 October 1990 ) was a French Marxist philosopher .

He was born in Algeria and studied at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris , where he eventually became Professor of Philosophy .

Althusser was a longtime member — although sometimes a strong critic — of the French Communist Party .

His arguments and theses were set against the threats that he saw attacking the theoretical foundations of Marxism .

These included both the influence of empiricism on Marxist theory , and humanist and reformist socialist orientations which manifested as divisions in the European communist parties , as well as the problem of the " cult of personality " and of ideology .

Althusser is commonly referred to as a Structural Marxist , although his relationship to other schools of French structuralism is not a simple affiliation and he was critical of many aspects of structuralism .

Althusser 's life was marked by periods of intense mental illness .

In 1980 , he killed his wife , the sociologist Hélène Rytmann , by strangling her .

He was declared unfit to stand trial due to insanity and was committed to a psychiatric hospital for three years .

He did little further academic work , dying in 1990 .

Iparraguirre was captured in Lima in 1992 along with her partner , Shining Path founder Abimael Guzmán .

In 1992 , she received a sentence of life imprisonment by a secret military tribunal .

She was awarded a new trial in a civilian court in 2004 , but the proceeding ended as a mistrial .

In 2010 Iparraguirre and Guzmán were married .


Zhangping–Quanzhou–Xiaocuo railway

The Zhangping – Quanzhou – Xiaocuo railway ( ) , also known as the Zhangquanxiao railway , is a regional railway in Fujian Province , China .

The line runs eastward from Zhangping , in the interior , to Quanzhou , on the coast , and terminates at the Xiaocuo Harbor in the Port of Quanzhou .

Construction began in 1958 and the Zhangping - Quanzhou section entered operation in 2001 .

The extension to Xiaochuo Harbor was built in 2007 .

The Zhangping – Quanzhou section of the rail line used to have fairly active passenger service , with a number of fairly slow trains connecting Quanzhou East railway station with major cities throughout China .

Passenger service on this line was terminated , and Quanzhou East railway station closed on December 9 , 2014 , presumably as a consequence of the introduction of much faster high - speed service on the Fuzhou – Xiamen railway and connecting lines .

Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve

The Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve is a dark - sky preserve near the Sawtooth National Recreation Area , in the U.S. state of Idaho .

It was designated on December 18 , 2017 and is the first gold - tier dark sky preserve in the United States .

The area was designated by International Dark - Sky Association .

The area includes the city of Ketchum , Idaho which was separately designated a " Dark Sky Community " in 2017 .

Idaho State Highway 75 in the Sawtooth Valley between Redfish Lake and Pettit Lake roughly traverses the reserve 's " core areas " .

Several sky quality meters are installed along State Highway 75 in this area .

Local communities and federal authorities collaborated in the designation ; the governments will take measures such as shielding street lights to preserve the area 's dark sky ; Ketchum has had a dark sky ordinance since 1999 , and Sun Valley , also in the reserve , has its own local ordinance .

The U.S. Forest Service , which manages much of the land in the area , will post informational signs about the dark sky reserve , and has said it will reduce light pollution from its buildings ; compliance by individuals on Forest Service land will be voluntary .

Another dark sky certification effort was under way in 2017 about away at Bruneau Dunes State Park , which hosts a public astronomical observatory .


Raz de Sein

The Raz de Sein is a stretch of water located between the Isle of Sein and the Pointe du Raz in Finistère in the Brittany region of France .

This tidal water is an essential passage for vessels wishing to pass between the Atlantic and the English Channel , because further west at high tide the Isle of Sein and its embankment stretch for more than thirty miles .

This is a very dangerous zone for navigation due to the violent sea currents from the tides ( up to six knots during the spring tides ) .

The current causes the sea to rise quickly , and it is recommended that heavy vessels should only attempt to cross this strait at still water during calmer conditions .

The Raz de Sein is bounded by the La Vieille and Petite Vieille lighthouses and by the shoreline of the île de Sein .
