Suffragette, Emily Davison, Killed by King's Horse, 1913 Derby [HD]
Suffragette, Emily Davison, Killed by King's Horse, 1913 Derby [HD] Prior to the First World War, women's rights were a regular item of Pathé newsreels. One great landmark in the history of Pathe scoops was one of their cameras capturing the extreme sacrifice by the suffragette Emily Davison. In the blink of an eye, Davison runs from the crowds and throws herself under the King's horse. Crowds of people run on to the track to try and help both the fallen rider and Davison. Davison died several days later in hospital.

Trafalgar Square Riot (1913)
A suffragette procession in Trafalgar Square led by Sylvia Pankhurst results in a riot in Whitehall. Policemen are seen escorting Miss Pankhurst away. Some of the scenes here do not look so very different from the more recent Poll Tax riots (1990) or the May Day riots of 2000.

Sid James (1913-1976)
Sid James (born Solomon Joel Cohen; 8th May 1913 - 26th April 1976) was a South African, British-based actor and comedian, who made his name as Tony Hancock's co-star in Hancock's Half Hour and also starred in the popular Carry On films. He was known for his trademark "dirty laugh" and lascivious persona. In 1967, James was intending to play Sergeant Nocker in Carry On Follow That Camel, but suffered a massive heart attack and was replaced by the American comic actor Phil Silvers. In the same year in Carry On Doctor James was shown mainly lying in a hospital bed, owing to his real-life health scare. Meanwhile his success in TV situation comedies continued, now heading the cast, notably in Taxi!, George and the Dragon, Two In Clover, and Bless This House. He suffered a heart attack on 26th April 1976, during the opening night of The Mating Season at the Sunderland Empire Theatre. The technical manager (Melvyn James) called for the curtain to close and requested a doctor, whilst the audience (unaware of what was happening) laughed, believing the events to be part of the show. He was taken to hospital by ambulance, but it was too late. James, then 62, was cremated and his ashes scattered at Golders Green Crematorium. PUBLIC DOMAIN News item.

The Insects' Christmas (1913) "Rozhdestvo obitateley lesa" (Wladyslaw Starewicz) Stop-Motion
► XmasFLIX.com ► Soundtrack ► http Like XmasFLIX on Facebook! ► facebook.com This fascinating stop motion animated film was produced by the Khanzhonkov Company in 1913 . Various sources have the release date incorrect or assumed as 1911-1912, but the actual release year was 1913. Only the starting and ending points of creation would be earlier. Due to the quality of film I had to work with, it is fully intact, however, the textual elements were removed. (NO, it is not supposed to be BLUE, as I have seen poorly edited versions. This is the original intended black and white film.) A silent film, but I replaced the cutaway titles with overlay. I kept the same dialogue as it's original lower quality version. I enhanced the image and it became a wonderful dreamlike state. Since there was no audio, I created a layered audio effect with elements from the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack. Composer, Danny Elfman: amzn.to "Froeliche Weinachten" appears in the animation near the end, however, they should have spelled it "Froehliche Weihnachten", which is German for "Merry Christmas". Vladislav Starevich (1882 - 1965), born Władysław Starewicz (Владисла́в Алекса́ндрович Старе́вич), was a Polish stop-motion animator who used insects and animals as his protagonists. (His name can also be spelled Starevitch, Starewich and Starewitch.) He is also referred to by some as Ladislaw Starewicz. Władysław Starewicz was born from Polish parents (father Aleksander Starewicz from Surviliškiai ...

A permanent installation directed by Romain Tardy & Thomas Vaquié
Hala Stulecia, Wroclaw, Poland.
-> Be sure to watch the making of the piece here: https://vimeo.com/41475403
_________________________
When opened, Hala Stulecia was the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world. With a diameter of 65m it was home to the largest dome built since the Pantheon in Rome eighteen centuries earlier.
The piece proposed for the Centennial Hall of Wroclaw is based around the notion of timelessness in architecture, and the idea of what future has meant throughout the 20th century.
Taking the 1910’s as a starting point (the dome was erected in 1913), historical and artistic references were used to reveal the architecture of the space.
By using references such as Fritz Lang’s Metropolis or the utopian projects of Archigram to confront the different visions of the future at different times, Romain Tardy and Thomas Vaquié were interested in trying to create a vision of a future with no precise time reference. A timeless future.

When opened, Hala Stulecia was the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world. With a diameter of 65m it was home to the largest dome built since the Pantheon in Rome eighteen centuries earlier. The Centennial Hall was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. Taking the 1910’s as a starting point (the dome was erected in 1913), historical and artistic references were used to reveal the architecture of the space, its timeless and, more surprisingly, very modern dimension.
A deliberately minimalist visual aesthetic allowed to highlight the very architecture of Hala Stulecia’s dome and re-affirm its place at the core of the piece.

San Salvador (1947)
La ciudad de San Salvador es la capital de la República de El Salvador. Es, además, la cabecera del departamento y municipio homónimos. Como capital de la nación, la ciudad alberga las sedes del Gobierno y la Consejo de Ministros de El Salvador, Asamblea Legislativa, Corte Suprema de Justicia y demás instituciones y organismos del Estado, así como la residencia oficial del Presidente de la República. Es la mayor ciudad del país desde el punto de vista económico, asiento de las principales industrias y empresas de servicios de El Salvador. Es también la sede del Arzobispado católico.
Después de las victorias sobre las huestes pipiles en las batallas de Acajutla y Tacuzcalco, el conquistador Pedro de Alvarado intentó someter a los nativos de la capital del Señorío de Cuzcatlán a su arribo el 18 de junio de 1524. Los cuscatlecos, sin embargo, huyeron a las montañas vecinas y el extremeño tuvo que replegarse hacia la zona de la actual Guatemala. La primera villa de San Salvador se fundó a menos de un año de esta expedición, por una misión no documentada al mando de Gonzalo de Alvarado.La primera mención que existe acerca de este asentamiento es una carta del mismo Pedro de Alvarado en Guatemala el 6 de mayo de 1525 haciendo notar que no se podía celebrar un cabildo por la ausencia de Diego de Holguin quien había partido a tomar el puesto de Alcalde ordinario de la villa de San Salvador.
Debido a las frecuentes rebeliones en el sitio por parte de los nativos, se estableció una nueva villa en el lugar conocido actualmente como Ciudad Vieja, al sur de la actual localidad de Suchitoto (1 de abril de 1528). Su trazado original tardó quince días y llegó a ser poblada por un número de 50 a 60 viviendas,teniendo por alcaldes a Antonio de Salazar y Juan de Aguilar.
Después de la pacificación de la región, la pequeña localidad fue abandonada a poco a poco y el nuevo asentamiento se ubicó, el año de 1545, en el valle de Zalcuatitán renombrado como “Valle de las Hamacas”. Se estima que tal acampamiento estuvo en la llamada cuesta del Palo Verde, y que fue conocida como “la Aldea”. Al norte de ese emplazamiento se comenzó a trazar la Plaza Mayor, donde se ubica actualmente la Plaza Libertad; al Este, se erigió la Iglesia consagrada al Santísimo Salvador del Mundo. El 27 de septiembre de 1546, mediante trámites de los procuradores Alonso de Oliveros y Hernán Méndez de Sotomayor, y por petición del Secretario de la Real Corona Juan de Samano ante el infante don Felipe por la ausencia del emperador Carlos V de Alemania y I de España, se elevó la villa a la categoría de ciudad por Real Provisión.
Durante la época colonial la ciudad fue parte de la Alcaldía Mayor de San Salvador, y estaba bajo la autoridad principal de la región: la Capitanía General de Guatemala. En el siglo XVII, la actividad principal de esta región fue el añil, para su exportación a Europa. En la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, debido a las Reformas borbónicas, que tenían como objetivo mejorar el cobro de impuestos y crear monopolios estatales, se creó la Intendencia de San Salvador en 1785; la propia ciudad fue cabecera de su partido.
San Salvador tuvo un destacado rol en los años previos a la independencia de Centroamérica. Fue allí donde se dio la primera rebelión en 1811 en contra de las autoridades de la Capitanía, y una más en 1814, ambas sin éxito. Con la declaración del Plan de Iguala por Agustín de Iturbide, las entonces provincias de la Capitanía declararon su emancipación el 15 de septiembre de 1821. Las noticias de este suceso llegaron a San Salvador el 21 de septiembre.
A partir de entonces las antiguas intendencias fueron gobernadas independientemente. De hecho en San Salvador regía un Jefe Político. Pero, en definitiva, todas estaban aún bajo la dirección de una Junta Provisional Consultiva con sede en Guatemala. Meses después llegó desde México una invitación de Iturbide para que las provincias se unieran al nuevo Imperio. La Junta decidió su anexión el 5 de enero de 1822; solo dos ayuntamientos, de los 170 que conformaban la región, se negaron: San Salvador y San Vicente.En los siguientes dos años la ciudad enfrentó dos invasiones desde Guatemala, que las fuerzas defensoras pudieron repeler. Sin embargo, en febrero de 1823, Vicente Filísola asedió a la ciudad y la ocupó; su estadía acabó debido al retiro del poder de Iturbide.
Con el nacimiento de la República Federal de Centroamérica en 1824, la ciudad se vio envuelta en los turbulentos años que enfrentaron a liberales y conservadores. Para separarse de la influencia de poder que ejercía la ciudad de Guatemala, Francisco Morazán decidió crear un distrito federal en San Salvador en 1834. La situación caótica de la región creó un estado de pobreza general. Tal condición provocó, además, una epidemia de cólera en 1836.
La economía del país cambió gradualmente en la segunda mitad del

SILENCE OF DEATH directed by Mani Nasry (16MM FILM) 1ST YEAR RYERSON UNIVERSITY STUDENT FILM

www.imdb.me/maninasry
This Scene expresses- FEAR- noun: an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight). noun: a feeling of anxiety and agitation caused by the presence or nearness of danger, evil, pain, etc.; timidity; dread; terror; fright; apprehension. Terrify not your soul with vain imaginary fears. By realizing that you are the one feeding the fire, you can start to take control of your fears. Panic is a vicious cycle that can be broken. When you start to have irrational fears you need to take action quick. Eleanor Roosevelt once said: "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing, which you think you cannot do." We must stop running away from things that frighten us, face our fears head on, and do the thing we fear the most. Most of the time we'll find out that the "thing" was not that scary after all. Our imaginations had behaved like a super fertilizer and grown a grotesque monstrosity in our minds. Remember, our imaginations are incredibly powerful. They can work against us, creating horrible images that leave us paralyzed with fear and they can also work for us, building a world where everything we do is an adventure, a miracle. And the most amazing thing is that we hold the power to control our minds - we allow fear to dominate our lives or we choose to dominate fear. Those are our only two choices.

Jim Larkin
James (Big Jim) Larkin (Irish: Séamas Ó Lorcáin)(1874-1947), an Irish trade union leader and socialist activist, was born in Liverpool, England on 28 January 1874, of Irish parents. Growing up in poverty, he had little formal education and began working in a variety of jobs while still a child before becoming a full-time trade union organiser in 1905. He moved to Ireland in 1907, where he founded the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, the Irish Labour Party, and later the Workers' Union of Ireland. Perhaps best known for his role in the 1913 Dublin Lockout, "Big Jim" continues to occupy a significant place in the collective memory of Dublin. Larkin's family lived in the slums in Liverpool during the early years of his life, and from the age of seven he attended school in the mornings and worked in the afternoons to supplement the family income - a common arrangement in working-class families at the time. At the age of fourteen, after the death of his father, he was apprenticed to the firm his father had worked for, but was dismissed after two years. He was unemployed for a while and then worked as a seaman and docker. By 1903 he was a dock foreman, and on 8 September that year he married Elizabeth Brown. From 1893 Larkin had developed an interest in socialism, and he became a member of the Independent Labour Party. In 1905 he was one of the few foremen to take part in a strike on the Liverpool docks. He was elected to the strike committee, and although he lost ...
