Housing Crisis - Lauren Greenfield’s “The Queen of Versailles” : The New Yorker
▻http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/07/09/housing-crisis
Sometimes, seven billion people’s global financial catastrophe is one documentary filmmaker’s piece of good fortune. Such is the case of the photographer Lauren Greenfield, whose new movie, “The Queen of Versailles,” is about to be released. The film begins by focussing on the half-finished construction in Orlando of Versailles, the largest family home in America, the design of which was inspired by the French palace of the same name, and also by the top three floors of the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. Versailles—which is projected to cover ninety thousand square feet, with thirty bathrooms, a bowling alley, and a sushi bar—is the dream home of David Siegel, a strangely endearing, if fundamentally deplorable, Florida time-share mogul, and his wife, Jackie, a winningly confidential former Mrs. Florida and mother of eight, who is thirty-one years her husband’s junior.

Hundreds of millions of roses are imported into Europe specially for Valentine’s Day. They come from #Kenya, Ethiopia, and Latin America, usually from gigantic farms. Despite the effort put forth by some companies, working conditions in those farms are often appalling. Intensive irrigation strains #water resources. In #France, where clear labeling does not exist, it is impossible for the consumer to know the difference between a rose grown in sustainable conditions and one that is not. This (...)

The staff at #Iraq’s al-Sabah al-Jadeed newspaper have either stayed home, fled to Kurdistan, or left Iraq altogether to escape threats that surfaced after they published a cartoon of #Iran’s supreme leader, #Ali_Khamenei. The newspaper’s offices in Baghdad were targeted and anonymous threats against the newspaper flooded social networking sites.

Cannes 2013 : Roman Polanski says fight for female equality is ’a great pity’
▻http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2013/may/25/cannes-2013-roman-polanski-female-equality
Speaking at the Cannes film festival of his latest film Venus in Fur, the 79-year-old Polanski said that “trying to level the genders is purely idiotic.” "Offering flowers to a lady has become indecent … The pill has greatly changed the place of women in our times, masculinising her. It chases away the romance in our lives."

Les grèves s’étendent à des hauts lieux touristiques égyptiens et devraient se propager. Les raisons de ces grèves et les réactions politiques sont évoquées dans cet article.
Luxor Bazaar owners cut off the road leading to the city’s West Bank on Sunday, which includes prominent touristic monuments such as the Hatshepsut Temple, the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, in a move to pressure the government to exempt them from paying their bazaar rents, said head of the Bazaar Owners Association Bakri Abdel Gelil.
(...)
“Our problem is mainly with ministries of local development, antiquities and tourism,” said Abdel Gelil. “We demand to be completely exempted from rent fees, since our trade has suffered since the 25 January Revolution.”
“The Ministry of Antiquities exempted the rental fees before from February 2011 to February 2012 only, but now there’s no exemption at all,” said Abdel Gelil.
He added that several verdicts have been issued against around 500 bazaar owners, including prison incarceration and dismissal.
“We are also looking to close the Karnak Temple by Wednesday, or maximum by Thursday,” said Abdel Gelil to Daily News Egypt.
“We have tried several times to negotiate with the Luxor governor but until now the meetings have been fruitless,” he continued. “However we are expecting to meet with the governor today, and hopefully this will be positive.”
He added that tomorrow, bazaar owners from the Abu Simbel Temple will be joining them in blocking the roads leading to the temple.
(...)
“There was a verdict to close down four bazaars on 24 February, and there are 101 bazaar owners threatened with dismissal because they haven’t paid their financial dues,” said the Al-Dostour Party spokesperson in Luxor Amr Hussien.
(...)
“Companies are expected to cancel all tours from tomorrow if the situation hasn’t been resolved,” he concluded.

Archaeologists discover tomb of female singer in Valley of the Kings - Archaeology - Science - The Independent

It is the only tomb of a woman not related to the ancient Egyptian royal families ever found there, said Mansour Boraiq, the top government official for the antiquities ministry in the city of Luxor,
The field director said the tomb was not originally built for the female singer, but was reused for her 400 years after the original one, based on artifacts found inside. Archaeologists do not know whom the tomb was originally intended for.

Comics Beef : Frank Miller, Alan Moore Duke It Out Over Occupy Wall Street — Vulture
Two legendary graphic novelists — Frank Miller, creator of The Dark Knight Returns and hard-boiled Sin City, and Alan Moore, who wrote Watchmen and V for Vendetta — are finding themselves on opposite sides of a pretty gaping ideological divide regarding Occupy Wall Street and are expending a good amount of vitriol on the subject online. Frank Miller, trending evermore militantly to the hard right since 9/11, started the spat off with a post to his blog on November 7, a choice excerpt of which follows below.

V for Vendetta’s Alan Moore, David Lloyd Join Occupy Comics | Underwire | Wired.com
►http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/12/alan-moore-occupy-comics
Moore will contribute a long-form prose piece, possibly with illustrations, to the Occupy Comics project. His writing work will explore the Occupy movement’s principles, corporate control of the comics industry and the superhero paradigm itself.
Lloyd signed onto the growing Occupy Comics project last week, as did Madman’s Mike Allred and American Splendor’s Dean Haspiel. Occupy Comics will eventually sell single-issue comic books and a hardcover compilation, but an innovative arrangement with Kickstarter means that funds raised through pledges of support can be channeled directly to Occupy Wall Street’s populist ranks now.
