Mickey Mouse In Vietnam: The Lost Anti-War Animation from 1968
Disney’s most iconic character, Mickey Mouse, did appear in an animated underground film created by two critics of the war, Lee Savage and the celebrated graphic designer Milton Glaser.Produced in 1968 for The Angry Arts Festival, the one minute animation shows Mickey getting lured into fighting in Viet Nam, and then, rather immediately, getting shot in the head. The anti-war commentary gets made brutally and economically. Sometimes less is more.In a recent interview with Buzzfeed, Glaser recalls: “[O]bviously Mickey Mouse is a symbol of innocence, and of America, and of success, and of idealism — and to have him killed, as a solider is such a contradiction of your expectations. And when you’re dealing with communication, when you contradict expectations, you get a result.”...

Is "Data" Singular or Plural?
The data are correct or The data is correct? Answered from Charles Carson, managing editor of the journal American Speech The question seems easy enough: is data singular or plural? Unfortunately, the answer is that both usages are standard.We could explain why grocery store signs should read 10 items or fewer instead of 10 items or less. Count nouns are used for objects that can be counted; that is, they're distinct objects that can be numbered. For example, in my refrigerator there are eggs, apples, and lemons. These are all count nouns. Count nouns can be singular or plural, and when you use them as the subject of a sentence, the verb must correctly reflect that number, as inThe last apple IS on the bottom shelf or The eggs ARE fresh.Mass nouns, on the other hand, are used for things...
The labor market impact of mobility restrictions | Research
Learning by Reading .This paper provides new evidence on the labor market effects of conflict-induced restrictions to mobility. To identify the effects, the analysis exploits the fact that the placement of physical barriers by Israel was exogenous to local labor market conditions and uses a measure of conflict intensity to control for the likely spurious correlation between local unrest, labor market conditions, and the placement of barriers.The study finds that these barriers to mobility have a significant negative effect on employment, wages, and days worked per month. The barriers had a positive impact on the number of hours per working day. These effects are driven mainly by checkpoints while other barriers, such as roadblocks and earth...

Why Libya's revolution didn't work -- and what might
Bạn biết gì về Libya và tình hình chính trị sau chế độ độc tài của Gaddafi. Bài thuyết trình của Langhi , nhà sáng lập tổ chức “Libyan Women’s Platform for Peace “ về những gì cần cho sự phát triển của Libya . What Libya needs now, Langhi suggests, is collaboration, not competition; compassion, not rage. Video In Libya, Zahra' Langhi was part of the "days of rage" movement that helped topple the dictator Gaddafi. But -- then what? In their first elections, Libyans tried an innovative slate of candidates, the "zipper ballot," that ensured equal representation from men and women of both sides. Yet the same gridlocked politics of dominance and exclusion won out. What Libya needs now, Langhi suggests, is collaboration, not competition; compassion, not rage. http://video.ted.com/talk/podcast/2012X/None/ZahraLanghi_2012X-light.mp4...
