Why not buy yourself an ipad 2 stand from ipad 2 accessories uk so you can sit back and watch Human Traffic. A British independent film directed and written by Justin Kerrigan, Human Traffic explores the lives of young people during the 1990’s in Wales. The story all takes place over one weekend in Cardiff focussing on five people in their 20’s and their wider social circle. The film avoids the easy trap of moralising about 1990’s dance lifestyle, instead focussing on the “vibe, the venues and the mood” of the dance movement, allowing viewers to make their own judgements on it. The central character Nina’s 17 year old brother Lee enthuses within the first 25 minutes of the film, “I am about to be part of the chemical generation”. Narrated by one of the actors, John Simm, the film also saw the debt of Danny Dyer. The film addresses the issue of work and unemployment. Jip, working at a clothes shop, is represented as a ‘wage slave’, especially in the scene where his boss, bearing a barcode on his forehead, anally rapes him covering his mouth with a banknote. Moff, preferring unemployment to working, constantly argues with his father concerning this preference.
Helmut Newton (31st October 1920 – 23rd January 2004) was a German-Australian photographer who specialised in fashion but went on to take photos of nude women. As Jesse McKinley wrote, he was a “prolific, widely imitated fashion photographer whose provocative, erotically charged black-and-white photos were a mainstay of Vogue and other publications”. From the 1950s to 1983, Newton had a loyal relationship with French Vogue during which he also worked for Marie Claire, Nova, Italian Vogue, Elle, Queen...etc. You can be sure that Newton never found himself without his np20 charger! In the 1970’s, Helmut’s photography changed drastically. Helmut pursued an overtly sexual theme in his work with a menacing edge taken from his own difficult history as a Jewish exile from war-time Germany. In his pictures, women were depicted as bolder and more aggressive, usually in rather disquieting situations. His models were often shown to be members of the social elite but captured in very seedy environments pursuing erotic fantasies with cross-dressers and prostitutes. Censored in America, Newton said; “The term ‘political correctness’ has always appalled me, reminding me of Orwell’s ‘thought police’ and fascist regimes.”

In Brave New World the world functions along the principles of Henry Ford’s assembly line (homogeneity, predictability, consumption of disposable consumer goods, and mass production). There is a marked absence of any supernatural-based religions, with Ford himself being revered as a deity. Aspects of traditional religion are present in the reverence for Ford; characters swear oaths by his name, celebrate Ford Day and Christian crosses have their tops cut off to form a ‘T’. There even exists an Arch-Community Songster of Canterbury. Most noticeably, the calendar numbers years in the ‘AF’ era, as in After Ford, 1 AF corresponding to 1908 AD, the year in which Ford’s Model T first emerged from his assembly line. The novel is situated in AF632, the equivalent being 2540 AD. Members of every class are indoctrinated from birth by “hypnopaedia” (recorded voices repeating certain slogans whilst they sleep) to believe their class is superior but that all the other classes are required to perform certain functions. There is no unhappiness as a hallucinogenic drug and antidepressant called ‘soma’ is distributed (a secularized version of the Christian sacrament of Communion). Gosh, flower delivery birmingham would not want to live in a Brave New World.
The Brothers Grimm, Jacob Grimm (4 January 1785 – 20 September 1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (24 February 1786 – 16 December 1859), were German cultural researchers, linguists and academics responsible for many of the fairytales we know and love. Though many unfortunately think it is to Walt Disney that one should offer their praises for their cherished childhood stories, it is to the Brothers Grimm one must turn. Around 1806, the Brothers Grimm began collecting folk tales by inviting storytellers to their home and published a collection of stories in 1812 titled ‘Children’s and Household Tales.’ A second volume followed in 1814 containing a further 70 fairy tales in addition to the first volume’s 86 stories. Many of the stories the Brothers Grimm published were based on the tales of Charles Perrault. The most famous of their stories include ‘Cinderella’ (Aschenputtel), ‘The Frog Prince’ (Der Froschkönig), ‘Hansel and Gretal’ (Hänsel und Gretel), ‘Snow White’ (Schneewittchen), ‘Rapunzel’, ‘Sleeping Beauty’ (Dornröschen), and ‘Rumpelstiltskin’ (Rumpelstilzchen). The tales as published by the Brothers Grimm were dark and violent, nothing like the wet Disney versions. For example, in ‘Cinderella,’ the Prince is alerted to the existence of the two step-sisters by two carrier pigeons which go on to peck out the evil duo’s eyes. The step-sisters live the rest of their lives as blind beggars without r4ds cards.
