- Stradivarius violin secret? Mini ice age in Europe [Undernews]The ice age reached its coldest point during a 70-year period from 1645 to 1715 known as the Maunder Minimum, named after the 19th century astronomer, E.W. Maunder, who documented a lack of solar activity during the period. Stradivari was born a year before the Maunder Minimum began and produced his most prized and valued stringed instruments as the period ended -- from 1700 to 1720. |

- There is a movement in the parliament to at last address an issue that is important. The "Minbar Islamists" have tabled a motion to force all public officials to declare their worth before they take office, and then audit them when they leave. Excellent. At last something useful. They shouldn't stop at the public official him/herself, that law MUST be extended to audit his direct family as well and raise a red flag whenever that official registers a commercial registration, buys a building, a car or whatever. |

- Film Reviews: One of the finds of the Hawaii fest and of Nippon films of the past year, "Hotel Hibiscus" is a warm breath of fresh air from way down south, on Okinawa. Helmer Yuji Nakai returns to the semi-tropical isle for the tale of a family living in a ramshackle bed and breakfast. Pic won jury prizes at Tokyo and Hong Kong fests and could do well at fests. |

- Film Reviews: "Residence Bastoggi" follows several residents of the low-income apartment blocks on the outskirts of Rome, where docu helmer Maurizio Iannelli turns a dispassionate eye on the young and the criminal. As usual, the women are the real victims, time and again left on their own as mates serve jail sentences. Local success will depend on tube play. |

- Talk about double standards! The big hullabaloo about forced registrations of foreigners in the States riled every single Muslim on the planet, now we have the chairman of the Bahraini Parliament proposing that all foreigners on the island to have them electronically scanned. The excuse he's using is that this process will "ease" their interaction with the government agencies etc. So it's NOT alright for the US to do it, but it's okay for us to? I guess our shit smells a lot rosier than Americans', so it must be okay... |
