The same full frontal black and white image was published in Playboy in 1985. It is now up to be auctioned on February 12 at Christie’s and is being tipped to sell for $10,000! The photographer, Lee Friedlander, is said to have taken natural pictures, without any attempt to glamorise his subject. He remembers Madge was busy getting a band together then. Queen of Pop sure hasn't had it easy.......Continue 2月16日 The great divide, the red divideThe brutal killing of Vishwa  Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati and the communal violence that followed aftermath in Kandhamal last year has exposed a schism within the Maoist organisation. This was kicked off after Sabyasachi Panda alias Sunil, secretary of Communist Party of India (Maoist) Orissa state committee, told a section of media, “We punished Swamiji as he was creating a sectarian divide in the impoverished region."Last week, a hand-out faxed to media houses as well as some posters across Raygada, 400 km from Bhubaneswar, reportedly released by Maoists' central committee confirmed that fractional split. The communiqué said: “Sabyasachi, being accused of anti-party activities, may face ouster. Though CPI(M) does not take any religious stand as per its ideology, murder of the Swamiji as well as his four associates is a clear-cut deviation from party philosophy. Sabyasachi was also instrumental in triggering communal violence in Kandhamal to accomplish his selfish motive.” Written under the signature of Saket, the release further stated: “The party has conclusive evidence that Sabyasachi collected crores of rupees through his family members and friends in the name of the organisation and even blackmailed people. Therefore, the party would severely punish him, and people’s court would declare him a traitor unless he apologises for his anti-people activities and failure to refund the misappropriated funds.” ....Continue 2月6日 The global ripple effect!It's rightly said, 'There's enough for everyone's need but not for everyone’s greed'. Initially, it was industrialisation; today, it is technological advancement that is motivating  humans to destroy the earth's environment. The exponential rise in population is not only decreasing the per capita land area but also leading towards depletion of resources at the same time. For centuries, human beings depended on agriculture for their survival; later it became their source of income. But since the last few decades, in the name of 'development', man has destroyed the environment and depleted earth's natural resources. Urbanisation and modernisation, both, have not only weaned away mankind from agriculture but has minimised the arable land area as well.As per the latest data available, around 37 per cent of earth's land area is available for agriculture; out of this, merely 11 per cent is used for crops cultivation and the rest for various other kinds of cultivation and pasture activities (mismanagement of land has already wasted more than 7 to 8 million square miles of land). What's to be noted here is that the land demand is increasing continuously and so is the demand for crops. Sadly, the farmers are moving away from traditional crops to bio-fuels crops (like maize and corn), thus widening the gap between food demand and supply. As per the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimation, by the year 2030, the world's growing population will require 30 per cent more grain than the current production capacity. To meet this demand, healthy environment is a must. But then, modern luxury items (SUVs, Plasma TV that emits NF3, bottled water, polyester et al) are destroying the required feasible conditions. Agreed that technology has increased productivity. But even then, the world has 900 million undernourished people; tens of thousands die out of hunger every year. Unavailability of food and polluted environment are few of the reasons for world hunger.....Continue 1月7日 The EU mission set to take over from UN in KosovoThe Democratic League of Dardania (DLD) asked for the resignation  of Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, citing apprehension that the sketch does not promise the sovereignty of Kosovo. "The six-point sketch is a product of the international community's duplicity and malfunctioning of the Thaci administration, clearing a technique to Serbia to recover in peace what it lost in war," Behlul Beqaj, a political commentator on Kosovo, told TSI. It is vague how the mission will be set up in Kosovo Serb areas as 70,000 out of 120,000 Serbs have signed an anti EULEX petition. "We don't know what the dynamics of EULEX deployment will be," said Oliver Ivanovic, a state secretary in Serbia's Kosovo ministry. NATO peacekeeping troops have amplified patrols in Mitrovica, fearing confrontations in the flashpoint town where Serbs live on one half of the river and Albanian Kosovars on the other. Numerous Western nations have accepted Kosovo but Serbia, backed by Russia, has declined to do so. The Security Council has long been at odds over the prospect of Kosovo and this mission is the first time the 15-nation body have been successful on agreeing on anything since the independence declaration.....Continue |
