In her feature-film debut, renowned visual artist Shirin Neshat offers an exquisitely crafted view of Iran in 1953, when a British- and American-backed coup removed the democratically elected government. Adapted from the novel by Iranian author Shahrnush Parsipur, the film weaves together the stories of five individual women during those traumatic days, whose experiences are shaped by their faith and the social structures in place.

Mundi in the Roman tradition. The angles inferred by the construction of Poplar Forest point to the Georgia Guide Stones as well as the International Peace Garden. The Georgia Guide Stones point to the International Peace Garden as well. Jefferson's Home is also part of an alignment of Jefferson architecture based on the same angle that leads to the Georgia Guide Stones. Jefferson created ley lines using his home as a datum and the directions inferred by its octagonal shape from plan view. Poplar Forest may be a veneration of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.. Jefferson may have been a Knights Templar that valued the Dome and the Temple Mount. Jefferson may have collaborated with another Templar Alexander Von Humboldt Prussian Royal Court Geographer.

Orlando police arresting tax payers for feeding the homeless in a public park funded by tax payer dollars. Yes you read that correctly they are arresting people for feeding the homeless.
fyi - they've been arresting people for feeding the homeless for decades. also look into arrests for illegal campsights, etc. harassing the homeless is a long term hobby in America (and elsewhere).
checkout William T. Vollmann's article on homelessness in Sacramento in a recent Harpers.
