...Review: The Battle of Algiers Gillo Pontecorvo was a director way ahead of his time. He directed two anti-colonialism in the 1960, when most of the movie-going audience was probably comfortably numb to the plight of the Third World. He created a film genre (anti-colonialism) that while at first controversial would eventually become a mainstream source for modern classics. He was one of the first directors to take on the challenging subjects of terrorism and torture, in an era where the preferred treatment of the historical film was sterilization, not realism. Pontecorvo portrayed women realistically, not as an idealized pieces of scenery. Most important, Pontecorvo achieved the admirable feat of creating films that accurately reflected historical accuracy and cinematic excellence. And he did all this while advancing a political thesis. In The Battle of Algiers (1966) Gillo Ponetcorvo uses factual content extrapolated from the history of the Algerian War to demonstrate a historical lesson: to defeat an ideologically entrenched, locally supported underground nationalist movement, you must employ measures (suppression of civil liberties, police brutality, military aggression, and eventually torture) that while crucial to winning battles against underground networks (like the FLN in Algiers) in the short run, these counter-insurgency actions will ultimately serve to bolster the opposition to authority in the long run. Eventually, as Pontecorvo's coda suggests, the tactics of the...

Subject: Progress on Metro park Apartments in January Construction on the Hillcrest Apartment Complex began on 17 December and fell behind schedule almost immediately because of the heavy snow that month. Current Status We have not been able to make up time lost in December because of the continuing snow in January. Close supervision and some overtime have prevented us from falling farther behind. We are currently 20days behind schedule, assuming crew size remains the same and overtime is limited to emergencies only. Work Completed The foundation for the entire complex is complete. Framing on the 14 townhouses is complete, and the framers will begin work on the two-bedroom units on Monday, 3 March. The electrical and plumbing subcontractors will also begin work on Monday. Work to be completed If the weather holds through the rest of this month, I expect to be finished with framing, roofing, and siding by mid-March. That will allow us to begin work on the interiors before...

...The Fundamental causes of the Crusades Derek A. Shuman The ancient World had the territorial Peleponesian war between Athens and Sparta. After that, the Persian swept in and conquered much of Greece, along with the rest of the Mediterranean area. Alexander retook possession of Greece, (along with much of the Mediterranean). Then came the Romans, who also conquered Greece, (along with much of the Mediterranean). But after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Eastern Mediterranean fell into the hands of the Muslims. So, since 638 AD, Jerusalem had been governed by Muslims. The Muslim Caliphs were, at heart, capitalists, and they tolerated Christian pilgrims because the tourist money helped the economy. But then, in the 1070s, Turks (who were recent Muslim converts) conquered these Holy Lands and mistreated the Jews and Christians, not realizing how useful their good will (and money) could be. The Byzantine Empire was also threatened by the Turks. Emperor Alexius asked the pope for assistance. Pope Urban II, a skillful orator, seeing an outlet for the violent energy of Christian knights, made an urgent speech calling for them to take back Jerusalem. Thousands responded, resulting in the First Crusade. Dates and Leaders of the Crusades: Urban II made his speech calling for Crusade at the Council of Clermont in November, 1095. He combined the idea of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with waging a war against the infidels. When he also promised complete absolution past present and future...

...and the Mediterranean Sea, and Iraq, while France received Syria and Lebanon. In 1922, the League of Nations formally established the British Mandate for Palestine and Transjordan, at least partially fulfilling Britain's commitments from the 1915–16 McMahon–Hussein Correspondence by assigning all of the land east of the Jordan River to the Emirate of Jordan, ruled by Hashemite king Abdullah but closely dependent on Britain, leaving the remainder west of the Jordan as the League of Nations Mandatory Palestine. While the British had made promises to give both Arabs and Jews land, the British claimed they had never promised to give either side all of the land. Rising tensions had given way to violence, such as the 1920 Nebi Musa riots, and Jaffa riots of 1921. To assuage the Arabs, and due to British inability to control Arab violence in the Mandatory Palestine any other way, the semi-autonomous Arab Emirate of Transjordan was created in all Palestinian territory east of the Jordan river (roughly 77% of the mandate). The conflicting forces of Arab nationalism and the Zionist movement created a situation...

...James Warren DATE \@ "d MMMM y" 19 November 2014 History Essay How Successful was the Third Crusade? The Third Crusade’s ultimate objective was to recapture the Holy Land. When they returned without this the overwhelming opinion was that they had failed on there efforts. However, they returned with far more than they had left with, gaining new territories and matching the previously “immortal” Saladin throughout the expedition. They managed to gain a highly useful treaty with him. These successes were met with substantial failures though, including the death of the German Emperor Frederick Barbarossa whilst crossing Anatolia and the return of Philip II to France to deal with internal threats. However, the Crusaders took the port of Acre as well as taking Cyprus from the Byzantines. Overall I would say the Crusade failed because they did not retake Jerusalem, but the Crusader’s achievements were still considerable considering how tough the task was originally, and the fact they were fighting a full strength Muslim army. A major success of the second Crusade was how well prepared the Crusade troops were thanks to Richard I’s vast preparation. Richard was an experienced soldier and he knew exactly what was required for a successful Crusade. As soon as he was crowned king in 1190, he channeled all his resources (Normandy, Aquitaine etc) towards applying the Crusader’s with what they needed to be successful. Richard knew just how tough it was to even get to the Holy Land, let...

...1 Richard the Lionheart: battle addict who spent much of his life in France The 12th century English king whose coat of arms adorns the national football side's shirts was not in fact English at all Justin Cartwright Saturday 14 September 2013 04.02 EDT L et me own up right away: I knew very little about Richard the Lionheart when I decided to write a novel about him. I can't now remember what inspired me, but in my head was the phrase "men in green tights". I find that as the time approaches to think about a new novel, ideas begin to form, as though I am consciously and anxiously scenting the air. Sometimes I wish that I could write the same book over and over, which is the essential nature of genre fiction – familiar, comforting and bland. Already I anticipate readers protesting about the liberties I have taken with the historical novel. Richard has become an icon. The Royal Arms of England is his coat of arms, unchanged, and is now more famous as the motif on England football team's shirts than it ever was as the country's coat of arms. In heraldic speak these are three lions passant gardant. (They have also been called leopards.) It is not only the football team that has appropriated his imagined qualities of bravery and ferocity; outside parliament, at the peers' entrance, stands an enormous Victorian statue of Richard on a horse, his sword raised, the image of ferocity but also of magnanimity, which is suggested by a panel on the plinth that pictures Richard pardoning an...

... Date: 10/20/13 Film Response This film talks about the struggles of a Palestinian-American woman (Soraya) in Middle East, primarily in Palestine and Israel. After her grandfather died, she came to collect the savings which he left behind. She came to Ramallah, Palestine; she was questioned in a very discrete and unusual manner, probably because of her name or her Arabic descent, but certainly because they thought that she was a Muslim. The way they asked all those questions, it seemed like they wanted to know if she was a Muslim. They still searched her inch by inch just on the hunch that she is a Muslim. This happened not just there, but also when she was trying to get to Jaffa—Israel—where her grandfather owned a house. But being born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, she stood bold and aggressive upon the encounter of questions and checking based on racism of religion (Islam), ethnicity (Arab) and nationality (Palestine). Secondly, the movie was trying to portray the hardships lived by the locals in Palestine, mainly Emad. He is an honest, hard-working young man who’s trying to build a better future for him. He got a scholarship for a college in Canada, but can’t get a visa. The continuous humiliation and being the victim of discrimination forced to feel that he’s living in a cage in his own country. They don’t even have to freedom to drive at night without encountering Israeli army. Like that time when Emad...

...In a moment I will turn to the content of the Progressive conception of politics and to the contrast between that approach and the tradition, stemming from the founding, that it aimed to replace. But I would like first to emphasize how different is the assessment of Progressivism presented in our book, The Progressive Revolution, from the understanding that prevails among most scholars. It is not much of an exaggeration to say that few scholars, especially among students of American political thought, regard the Progressive Era as having any lasting significance in American history. In my own college and graduate student years, I cannot recall any of the famous teachers with whom I studied saying anything much about it. Among my teachers were...

...Introduction Richard I reigned over England during the Middle Ages from 1189 to 1199 with great bravery and immense courage. Richard was born as the third legitimate son of King Henry II of England and never assumed that he would ever ascend to become the king. After leading his country in the Third Crusade, he gained the nicknames “the lionhearted” and “the absent king.” Through many heroic deeds while away at war, he deserved the nickname of “The Lionhearted” the most. Body Richard was born on September 8, 1157, at Beaumont Palace in Oxford, England. He was the fourth child and third son of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Not much is known about Richard’s education; however, he could not speak English, and wrote in Limousin and in French. Being favored by his mother, Richard became very close to Eleanor, which led to his heightened anger when she was imprisoned. At the age of 16, Richard began commanding his own army, which was putting down rebellions that were started against his father. During the Third Crusade, Richard was a central Christian commander and led the crusade after Philip Augustus left the campaign. During this time, Richard had great victories over Saladin, the Muslim commander; however, Richard was unsuccessful in conquering Jerusalem. In 1199, as Richard was walking around the castle, he found great amusement in one of the guards defending the castle who was a crossbowman and was holding a frying pan that he had been using...

...and Other Income) Act 2005 and the Income Tax Act 2007. Taxable supplies. A good understanding of the principles of VAT is very important in advising business. The third largest source of government revenues is value added tax (VAT), charged at 20% on supplies of goods and services. It is therefore a tax on consumer expenditure. Certain goods and services are exempt from VAT, and others are subject to VAT at a lower rate of 5% (the reduced rate, such as domestic gas supplies) or 0% ("zero-rated", such as most food and children's clothing). Exemptions are intended to relieve the tax burden on essentials while placing the full tax on luxuries, but disputes based on fine distinctions arise, such as the notorious "Jaffa Cake Case" which hinged on whether Jaffa Cakes were classed as (zero-rated) cakes—as was eventually decided—or (fully taxed) chocolate-covered biscuits. Five things to remember about exempt supplies: • You don’t include VAT in the price of exempt goods or services; • You are not eligible to claim input tax credits in acquiring exempt supplies; • You don’t include the value of the exempt supplies in your taxable turnover when establishing your VAT registration threshold; • If you only supply exempt goods or services, you cannot register for VAT purposes; • You must make the relevant VAT adjustments if your business is engaged in both taxable and exempt supplies. Zero rating is a rate of VAT, (0%), i.e. it constitutes a taxable supply. This in turn...
