Students from the Wild Strawberry Movement organised a screening of the PTS documentary The Scar of 228 (傷痕二二八) on Nanjing West Road on the evening of 27 February 2009. This is the site where at the same date in 1947 police beat a cigarette vendor and subsequently shot and killed a man in the crowd. This event led to what is known as the 228 Incident. In the following month more than 10,000 people lost their lives in a brutal crackdown by the KMT forces on the people of Taiwan.

Brighton & Hoveâs Azaro is what you could call 'a little Indian outpost on the South Coastâ (now try to say that 10 times as fast as you can). Opened back in 2014 on the former site of Italian restaurant Felliniâs, Azaro is the brainchild of Az Raja and Kirti Patel, a duo from a small village outside of Leeds, (not too far from the 'curry capital', Bradford). The restaurant's stated mission is to bring authentic âDesiâ food to the world, and apparently having a restaurant was, a âlifelong dreamâ for these enterprising Non-Southeners. Why they chose Brighton and Hove to do it, I donât know - possible because the competition is a little less fierce down here, and possibly because Brighton is fucking great. A few years back, Azaro made news when Foreign Secretary William Hague said some rather nice things about their chicken tikka.
Anyway, a Desi is an Indian person, so what I think they mean by âDesi Food' is traditional/authentic Indian fare, and not the more Westernised stuff that a lot of us have come to associate with Indian food in the UK (and Iâm not saying 'Western curry' is anything less for it!!). In India or Pakistan a âDhabaâ is a roadside restaurant, usually found beside a road, motorway or on the outskirts of a settlement. Dhabas specialise in an Indian version of street food, and that is, to some extent the culinary approach (but not the visual aesthetic) that Azaro are getting at with this one. Azaro Dhaba is also home to Bar Dhaba, which isnât all that big, but is located up by the entrance.
Foods at Azaro do not represent any one particular region amongst Indiaâs many wondrous and varied cuisines, and the menu is, compared to a lot of curry places, relatively small. Asides from the old favourites, they also have some stuff on the menu that you may not have seen in an Indian restaurant before; including the Bombay Burger and Chicken Chettinad (A Azaro signature dish that originates in the Tamil Nadu region). I am told that having Kirti heading up the kitchen also breaks the trend in commercial Indian cuisine for an environment mainly dominated by male chefs. Another thing worth remembering is a promise (sort of) that Azaro make on their website (ââ¦if you still can't find what your looking for then please do ask your host and we will endeavour to cook you what you want in most instances.â) - I wonder if anyoneâs taken them up on that yet
Remember when you actually walked out onto the tarmac and climbed up stairs into the plane? You even got to see what the plane looked like before boarding instead of being fed down a shoot into a big long tube with seats. It wasn't all that long ago. I took this shot of my wife boarding a DC-3 in Puerto Rico just a few years after we were married. Well, maybe it was all that long ago...
Remember that Iori River we saw earlier on as the tire of our car was being fixed? Well, here it is again, and much cleaner at this place. You can see a trio or locals fishing at the far end. The Iori is a river rich with fish. It is the habitat of several of the fish species found in Eastern Georgia. The river also feeds the Sioni reservoir consequent to which that reservoir too is teeming with many fish species like sazan, common carp, silver carp etc.. Unfortunately, uncontrolled fishing by poachers and members of the public using prohibited methods of fishing has resulted in a considerable decline in fish numbers, both in the river and the reservoir itself.

Remember all our loveds ones we have lost. This image has not been cropped at all - it's just like it was straight out of the camera.

potrebbe sembrare impossibile per chi come me è cresciuto durante la guerra fredda, fotografare da pochi cm alcuni degli strumenti bellici dell'ex URSS, armi forse una volta puntate contro la mia casa... eppure una volta tanto i politici hanno permesso che succedesse qualcosa di positivo; non dimentichiamoci mai però, che l'animale uomo è infinitamente peggiore della belva feroce più cattiva: MAI
Remember when...
you were always up for the random kodak moments you're parents always took?
And back then you didn't care what you looked liked. And now you refuse to get picture taken by others unless you are truly prepared. Don't you miss those days where you really had nothing to worry about?
Yeah, I do too.
If I ever go to war...
If I ever go to war Mom, Please don’t be afraid.
There are some things I must do, To keep the promise that I made.
I’m sure there will be some heartache, And I know that you’ll cry tears,
But your son is a Soldier now, Mom, There is nothing you should fear.
If I ever go to war Dad, I know that you’ll be strong.
But you won’t have to worry, Cause you taught me right from wrong.
You kept me firmly on the ground, yet still taught me how to fly.
Your son is a Soldier now Dad, I love you Hooah, Even if I die.
If I ever go to war Bro, There are some things I want to say.
You’ve always had my back, and I know it’s my time to repay.
You’ll always be my daybreak, through all of life’s dark clouds,
Your brother is a Soldier now, Bro, I promise I’ll make you proud.
If I ever go to war Sis, don’t you worry bout me,
I always looked out for you, but I can't do that anymore,
Cause I'm a big bro to all in America.
I love you so much and you know that, Your brothers a soldier now Sis,
So wipe your eyes, I'll be fine even if I die.
If I ever go to war my Friends, We’ll never be apart,
Though we may not meet again, I’ll hold you in my heart.
Remember all the times we had, Don’t let your memories cease,
Your friend is a Soldier now, Dear Friend, And I’ll die to bring you peace.
And when I go to heaven, And see that pearly gate,
I’ll gladly decline entrance, Then stand my post and wait.
I’m sorry Sir I can’t come in, I’m sort of in a bind,
You see I’m still a Soldier Sir, So I can’t leave them behind.

Republic Monument
The monument of the Republic stands between the Ring, Parliament, and Palais Epstein. It was on 12 November 1928, the tenth anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic, unveiled.
Three slate gray busts remember three social democratic politicians who have rendered outstanding services to the First Republic: Victor Adler, founder of the Social Democracy, Ferdinand Hanusch, founder of the modern welfare state, and Jakob Reumann, Vienna's first "red" mayor.
The busts are of Anton Hanak (Adler), Mario Petrucci (Hanusch) and Franz Seifert (Reumann).
Victor Adler, founder of the Social Democratic Party
Monument with the inscription "In memory of the establishment of the Republic on 12 November 1918', busts of Jakob Reumann, Victor Adler and Ferdinand Hanusch, Schmerlingplatzseite (on the side of Schmerlingplatz). ©
In the middle you see the founder of the Austrian Social Democracy: Victor Adler. He united the Social Democrats Östereichs and made major preparations for the founding of the First Republic.
Ferdinand Hanusch, founder of the modern welfare state
The right bust shows the social politician Ferdinand Hanusch. As Secretary of State for Social Affairs from 1918 to 1920, he was instrumental in the drafting of these laws, which still form the foundations of the modern welfare state. These reforms (among eight hour day, leave arrangements, Sundays and holidays rest, Unemployment Insurance Act, establishment of works councils, collective bargaining law ) were the most significant social package of measures in Austrian history .
Jakob Reumann, Vienna's first "red" Mayor
Jakob Reumann is left to be seen. He was first social democratic mayor of Vienna (1919-1923) and obtained during his tenure the valorization of Vienna as an own federal state. The former Imperial Council Member was a member of the Federal Council in 1920 and its first chairman in December.
Adler dies a day before the proclamation of the Republic
In the years after 1928, the monument has become an important place for social democracy: every year they met at a private ceremony here to commemorate the proclamation of the First Republic, on 12 November 1918 and to Victor Adler, who was not allowed to experience this event: It was just the day before, on 11 November he died.
Arrests, dismantled and reconstruction
In 1932 it came for the first time in celebrations at the monument to disputes between the Social Democrats and the authority of the state. The following year, the police arrested a number of young Social Democrats, who had gathered despite the ban there to commemorate the proclamation of the Republic.
Only months later, the monument was covered during the construction of the Dollfuss dictatorship and removed shortly thereafter. The items came to the depot.
After the end of World War II, the monument was re-erected. The SP parliamentary group honors the monument and the represented each November with a wreath.

Grandad took me for walks into town. I'd walk along the top of a wall outside the police station. He'd buy me an ice cream. I don't remember what we talked about. I don't know whether he liked me.
12.The Battle of Britain Memorial, Victoria Embankment, London
Created by sculptor Paul Day, and unveiled by Prince Charles in September 2005, this huge tribute to members of the Royal Air Force lists every allied pilot that flew in a sortie during the Battle of Britain, so includes the names of Canadians, Poles, Czechs, Australians and others alongside their British counterparts.
The sculptures and reliefs set into the monument depict all aspects of life on an RAF base during World War Two, from scrambling fighters all the way through to brewing a pot of tea in a quiet moment.
