History: Annah Arendt: A glimpse thru the lens of Danish filmaker Margarethe von Trotta

Hannah Arendt was a sociopolitical philosopher who became involved, as a reporter for the New Yorker magazine, in the famous Eichman trial.  I most appreciated this glimpse of her as an historical personage, and of her own most famous moment -- whether the also-famous and controversial film director Margarethe von Trotta's interpretation is the best or no.  The movie appears in this video as very good work.

Video: Scourge of NTDs: Neglected Tropical Diseases are now fully targetted by business and World Health Organization

There's another blog, Christian Medical Observations and Ruminations, that a friend edits.  They've taken on learning about the billion-victim Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and are joining as a supporting organization the World Health Org's campaign against 17 NTDs, supported by major pharmaceutical companies, Business and Human Rights, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and thousands ordinary folks like us.  God bless 'em, YouTube now has a set of videos on the NTDs, gruesome as they are, they're must viewing!  This subject matter shoud be tawt in schools — not just public schools, but Christian and Jewish and Muslim schools too.  A hi proportion of the world's doctor's and nurse's (compared to the relative sizes of such schools to the given student population in, say, North America) seem to come from these sources — and it's obvious the world — our world — God's world — is going to need young new medicos with the mettle to rise to the needs of the more than a billion sufferers of this select menu of illnesses.  This video is from Kenya.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy gets under the skin of Tarantino.

Quentin Tarantino Has Heated Exchange With UK Journalist On Film Violence, Says “I’m Not Your Slave”: Video

by NANCY TARTAGLIONE, International Editor | Friday, 11 January 2013 16:37 UKTags: Channel 4, Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino

Promoting Oscar-nominated Django Unchained, which had its premiere in London last night, Quentin Tarantino refused to repeat his position on violence in movies during an interview with Channel 4 Evening News host Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Asked about the link between movie violence and real violence, Tarantino responds in the video below: “Don’t ask me a question like that – I’m not biting.” When asked why, he says, “Because I refuse your question. I’m not your slave and you’re not my master. You can’t make me dance to your tune. I’m not a monkey.” Saying he was doing the interview as “a commercial for the movie,” Tarantino elaborates, “I don’t want to talk about the implications of violence… The reason I don’t want to talk about it: cause I’ve said everything I have to say about it. If anyone cares what I have to say about it, they can Google me and they can look for 20 years what I have to say. But I haven’t changed my opinion one iota.” Guru-Murthy later presses, “But you haven’t said why you think there’s no relationship”, to which Tarantino exclaims, “It’s none of your damn business what I think about that!… And I’m shutting you down.” The exchange in question begins at about the 4:30 mark:

Videos: News: Rape Crisis in India

These videos supplement the major news story from India about the rape crisis there — and the slothfulness of the Indian government and the police to take action to protect India's women in what has developed during the last year as an epidemic of individual male rapes of women, and of gang-rapes.  Women's organizations have never had the overwhelming response that they are experiencing today.  But there is a cult of rape of women and girls among men, formerly concentrated in villages but now taking hold in New Delhi that nation's capital.  On refWrite Frontpage, we urge you to sign a petition being circulated electornically by Change.org.

Folkloric and Religion-sponsored dance by young church members Hungarian Reformed

YouTube - ‪International Fest: Hungarian Reformed Church dancers

I'm at least a sociology hobbyist, and in these dances I see a good-natured church consistory (parishes' elders) decided what mixing of boys and girls, young women and young men, the intergenerationality, the more and less success in giving a trim performance ... but the good spirit and actually the demonstration  of a religious communal identity in socializing and in physical performance.  Dancing that good suggests participation in the Reformed Church dance group, a class perhaps once a week and then perhaps a week away from other studies and duties, to work more intensively in shaping up their readiness for a performance.  Or tour.  As these particular non-performers did wonderful amateur — but not fantastic.   There were moments when images of circles of girls and young women — sororities!  The destiny of the line of young men (short to tall) facing the line of young women (again, sort to tall) — for the sorority there comes a breakdown, a breakdown of sorority, as the edge of the mating dance brings the women fact to face with the men,  upclose and ritual, a silent undertone comes to the surface suggesting the narrative source is the courting dance of the ancient clans of free-choice marriage.  Perhaps  Magyars and Germanics of the Hungarian Reformed Church, but I am noting from the standpoint of my hobby that at least one of these dances was brawt into the dancing canon by the elders and pastors of Hungarian Reformed Church at a certain point, or period of time.  Whether from far earlier provenance or choreographed just so for the show, a few moments of joyous and artistically-disciplined popular culture indigenous to at least one parish of the Reformed Church in Hungary. ‏

Splendid musical theatre with a grim overtone -- somehow my friend himself a master of theatre, Jan Komarek or our friend Rainier Wiens [musician] is involved in Kantor's endeavour.  In any case, it's somber, entertaining, theatre with a gut punch.  The work is that of Tadeusz Kantor; since there's no title in my purview, temporary title will be  'Tadeusz Kantor Teatro ''. Check it out online at  yuT2ube.
