Description:-

                      This memorable picture was reminding us very bad story about the history which was held in mid-west US. This story takes place in 1930s, a time when lack and over farming had turned vast areas of the US Midwest into an enormous dust bowl. More than then thousand farmers were drawn to leave their Owen land and takes up works as migrant labors to work in California.Florence Owens Thompson, the main figure in this portrait, is one of them. She was born to Cherokee parents in Oklahoma in 1904.In 1935, already a widow with seven children, she abandoned her dust choked farm and drawn to work as fruit and vegetable plucked for pitifully small wages.The exact details of how she came to be at a Nipomo farm when this photograph was taken are contradictory, but it appears that she had travelled there to pick a crop of peas. Unfortunately the crop was destroyed by a freak frost the night before the harvest was due to begin so Thompson was stranded with her children, and a broken down car, virtually penniless.

It is a time when natural resources are limited and technology is advancing at an                astronomical pace. Where you live is monitored; what you eat is engineered; and the person serving you is not a person at all.

Comments:- It is the one of the greatest films ever made, but it's a personal favourite of mine. My heart cried at the two sad points, I laughed at the mannerisms of Gigolo Joe and Teddy, the super-toy, my heart pumped faster at the action and suspense, , but overall, I really enjoyed the film on a whole. I didn't find a single minute of it boring at all. It's practically the same as observing an extraordinary life and extraordinary tale of a boy who just wants his mommy. But the boy is not a boy, and rather a robot. But the way he acts can pass for a human any day & really enjoyed this movie forever.


03.Manga-Magazine


 
One of the major problems facing art education is the loss of children's interest in art as they get older. This loss of interest may be due to internal struggles of adolescence or to external stresses, often times in the art classroom itself. Artistic developmental theories explain this loss of interest in art as a universal, cross-cultural tendency. However, recent research (Toku 1998, 2000, Wilson, 1997, 1999, 2000) has suggested that Japanese children may be an exception to this tendency. Japanese children tend to continue to acquire skills to express visual narratives through this difficult period in the form of comics, or manga. This brings up an important question for art educators: how can this interest in comic books be utilized as a teaching tool in Japan or even extended to countries like the U.S.?


04.Napster – Web


Napster was an online music file sharing service created by Shawn Fanning while he was attending north eastern University in Boston. The service operated between June 1999 and July 2001[1]. Its technology allowed people to easily share their MP3 files with other participants, bypassing the established market for such songs and thus leading to the music industry's accusations of massive copyright violations. Although the original service was shut down by court order, it paved the way for decentralized peer-to-peer file-distribution programs, which have been much harder to control. The service was named Napster after Fanning's hairstyle-based nickname.
Napster's brand and logo were purchased after the company closed its doors and continue to be used by a pay service.

Fleet Street is a street in London, England named after the River Fleet. It was the home of the British press until the 1980s. Even though the last major British news office, Reuters, left in 2005, the street's name continues to be used as a metonym for the British national press.-History and...

 Which he described as being: "against the Ditch at Fleet Bridge". The paper lasted until 1735.

The paper consisted of a single page with two columns. Mallet advertised that she intended to publish only foreign news, and claimed that she would not take upon herself to add any comments of her own, supposing other people to have "sense enough to make reflections for themselves."

Mallet soon sold the paper to Samuel Buckley, who moved it to premises in the area of Little Britain, near St Bartholomew's Hospital, known as "the sign of the Dolphin".
