Some abolitionists, including distinguished blacks such as ship builder Paul Cuffee, believed that blacks should return to the African homeland, despite many having been in the United States for generations.

# Who Led the First Back-to-Africa Effort?

The person who spearheaded "the first, black initiated 'back to Africa' effort in U.S. history," according to the historian Donald R. Wright, was also the first free African American to visit the White House and have an audience with a sitting president.

He was Paul Cuffee, a sea captain and an entrepreneur who was perhaps the wealthiest black American of his time.

Cuffee was born on Cuttyhunk Island, off Southern Massachusetts, on Jan. 17, 1759, and died on Sept. 7, 1817.

He was one of 10 children of a freed slave, a farmer named Kofi Slocum.

("Kofi" is a Twi word for a boy born on Friday, so we know that he was an Ashanti from Ghana.)

Paul's mother was Ruth Moses, a Wampanoag Native American.

He ended up marrying a member of the Pequot tribe from Martha's Vineyard, Alice Pequit.

In 1766, Kofi purchased a 116-acre farm in Dartmouth, Mass., on Buzzard's Bay, which he left upon his death in 1772 to Paul and his brother, John.

When his father died, Paul changed his surname from Slocum to Cuffee, and began what would prove to be an extraordinarily successful life at sea.

Starting as a whaler, then moving into maritime trading, Paul Cuffee eventually "bought and built ships, developing his own maritime enterprise that involved trading the length of the U.S. Atlantic coast, with trips to the Caribbean and Europe," according to Wright.

But he was also politically engaged: In 1780, he, his brother and five black men filed a petition protesting their "having No vote on Influence in the Election with those that tax us," because they were "Chiefly of the African Extraction," as his biographer, Lamont Thomas, reports.

He was jailed, but got his taxes reduced.

Cuffee's dream was that free African Americans and freed slaves "could establish a prosperous colony in Africa," one based on emigration and trade.

Cuffee's visit to the White House happened like this: The U.S. had established an embargo on British goods in 1807, and relations were worsening with Great Britain.

On April 19, 1812, U.S. Customs in Westport, Mass., seized Cuffee's ship and its cargo upon its return from Sierra Leone and Great Britain as being in violation of the embargo.

When customs refused to release his property, Cuffee sought redress directly from President James Madison.

On May 2, 1812, he went to the White House, where he met with Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin and with Madison himself, who greeted him warmly and ordered that his goods be returned.

Madison queried Cuffee about his recent visits to Sierra Leone, and his ideas about African-American colonization of the new British colony.

The British had founded a settlement there for London's Committee of the Black Poor; it was called the Province of Freedom in 1787.

Then Freetown was founded as a settlement for freed slaves in 1792, the year when the black Loyalists (including George Washington's former slave, Harry Washington) arrived from Nova Scotia.

As Wright put it, "Cuffee hoped to send at least one vessel each year to Sierra Leone, transporting African-American settlers and goods to the colony and returning with marketable African products."

Sierra Leone was already populated in part by former American slaves who had received their freedom by running away from their masters and joining the British as black Loyalists in the Revolutionary War.

When the British lost to the Americans, many of these black Loyalists were settled in Nova Scotia.

And when conditions there proved too harsh, they had petitioned to be relocated in Sierra Leone.

To distinguish his plan from British and American efforts essentially to use colonization as a way of removing the threat that free African Americans posed to the continuation of slavery, in 1811 Cuffee founded the Friendly Society of Sierra Leone, a cooperative black group intended to encourage "the Black Settlers of Sierra Leone, and the Natives of Africa generally, in the Cultivation of their Soil, by the Sale of their Produce."

He made two trips to the colony that year.

In 1812, after returning from Sierra Leone, Cuffee traveled to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York to form an African-American version of the British "black poor" organization.

Named the "African Institution," it had self-contained branches in each city, and was charged with mounting a coordinated, black-directed emigration movement.

Cuffee's close friend, the wealthy sailmaker and inventor James Forten, became the secretary of the Philadelphia African Institution, while Prince Saunders, a well-known teacher and secretary of the African Masonic Lodge in Boston, became the secretary of the Boston African Institution.

Cuffee's movement seemed to be gaining steam among some of the most powerful and wealthy leaders of the free black community throughout the North.

On Dec. 10, 1815, Cuffee made history by transporting 38 African Americans (including 20 children) ranging in age from 6 months to 60 years from the United States to Sierra Leone on his brig, the Traveller, at a cost of $5,000.

When they arrived on Feb. 3, 1816, Cuffee's passengers became the first African Americans who willingly returned to Africa through an African-American initiative.

Cuffee's dream of a wholesale African-American return to the continent, however, soon lost support from the free African-American community, many of whom had initially expressed support for it.

As James Forten sadly reported in a letter to Cuffee dated Jan. 25, 1817, a meeting of several thousand black men had occurred at Richard Allen's Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, to discuss the merits of Cuffee's colonization program and the work of the African Institution.

The news was devastating: "Three thousand at least attended, and there was not one soul that was in favor of going to Africa.

They think that the slaveholders want to get rid of them so as to make their property more secure."

authored a statement that declared that "The plan of colonizing is not asked for by us.

We renounce and disclaim any connection with it."

When Paul Cuffee died just a month later, on Sept. 7, 1817, "the dream of a black-led emigration movement," Dorothy Sterling concludes, "ended with him."

However, the cause of black emigration would be taken up by a succession of black leaders, including Henry Highland Garnet, Bishop James T. Holly, Martin R. Delany, Bishop Henry McNeal Turner and, of course, Marcus Mosiah Garvey.

From around 1800, in the United States, people opposed to slavery were planning ways to achieve freedom of more slaves and, ultimately, to abolish the institution. At the same time, slaveholders in the South opposed having free blacks in their states, as they believed the free people threatened the stability of their slave societies. While mostly freed in the North, former slaves and free blacks suffered considerable social and legal discrimination. Some territories and newly established states in the Northwest (now the Midwest) prohibited entry by free people of color.


The Dual-use port of Noshahr was built by a Dutch contracting firm in late 1920s and is one of the most active ports of Iran in the Caspian Sea.

Caspian SeaHaving an area of about 438000 square kilometers, the Sea is the largest lake in the world, wich goes to Black Sea and Baltic Sea through Volga and Volgadon rivers and connects northern ports of the Caspian Sea to northern and southern Eropean ports.

The aepth of this sea increases southward, so that the depth of northern areas do not exceed 16 meters and reaches a depth of 1000 meters in south and south-western parts.

Eighty percent of entering water of the Caspian Sea ia supplied by Volga river.

The length of the Caspian Sea is about 1205 kilometers and its average width is 554 kilometers.

The difference of water level at the Caspian Sea compared with open seas has been registered at -26.2 meters at Nowshahr port.

The most important utilization of the Caspian Sea are shipping, business, oil, passenger and fishing exchanges.

The shores of this sea are mainly sandy and plain low.

The presence of the Caspian Sea has a determining role in the weather and climate of the northern beaches of Iran and all the unique beauties of Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces depend upon the availability of environmental conditions of this Sea.

The length of Iran's coast beside this sea extends from Hosseingholi Bay to the central city of Astra and includes Guilan and Mazandaran and a part of Golestan provinces.

The most important active ports of the Caspian Sea are "Anzali" and "Nowshahr" at Iranian coasts, "Bako" at Azarbaijan coasts, "Makhach Ghaleh" and "Astrakhan" at Russia coasts, "Aktao" at Kirghizia coasts and "Turkmenbashi" or "Krasnavodosh" at Turkmenistan coasts.

Following the independence of republics beside the Caspian Sea, the political and economic situation of the Caspian Sea changed and Iran, as the shortest connecting route of these countries to open seas and located at the route of Corridor 9, found a significant importance.

Compare with the route of the Persian Gulf, transportation of goods through poprts of the Caspian Sea to Europe is more suitable and economical due to favorable climate, cheap transportation fare and shortness of the route.

Noshahr Airport, previously an army airbase and currently a civilian-only airport is located on the western part of the city. The city is also home to Imam Khomeini University for Naval Sciences, some branches and campuses of Azad University of Noshahr and Chaloos, and Royan Institute of Higher Education.

# Weeds Creator Jenji Kohan Gets a New Nest

BUYER: Jenji Kohan and Christopher NoxonLOCATION: N. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles,

CAPRICE: $4,000,000SIZE: 5,919 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 bedroomsDESCRIPTION:

On of the great trophies of Los Feliz, this Med. estate occupies its own pvt, 3/4 acre+ walled park.

Find your dreams here: provenance (Huntington est arch., Bixby and Chandler families for over 60 yrs); privacy (matures ground); style (impeccably restored orig interiors); amenities (updated systems, chef's eat-in-kitchen, grand master suite, swimmers pool, guest cottage, studio); condition (move-in) and real value.

Both Your Mama and our ever-faithful compatriot Lucy Spillerguts have been watching this historic Los Feliz lovely for some time, since early January when we received a juicy but unsubstantiated tip from someone named Mister Eminem that that actor Vince Vaughn's new girly-pal was pressuring him to purchase The Bixby Estate in Los Feliz.

But alas, as it turns out, it was not Jennifer Aniston's ex-lover and his new lover who scooped up the historic estate just weeks after it was listed, but rather a couple of successful scribes named Christopher Noxon and Jenji Kohan.

For those who may not recognize their names, Mister Noxon toils as an author and free-lance journalist and has written in-depth articles for publications such as Playboy, Los Angeles magazine, Salon.com and The Huffington Post and Miz Kohan belongs to a budding Tinseltown tee-vee dynasty.

Not only is she the creator, producer and writer for the Emmy nominated and Golden Globe winning program Weeds with the marvelous Mary-Louise Parker and the practically perfect Elizabeth Perkins, she's also the sister of David Kohan who, along with Miss Max Mutchnick, created the super-successful and award winning money-minting machine that is Will and Grace.

Property records now show that Mister Noxon and Miz Kohan scooped up The Bixby Estate, located in the heart of the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, for an even-steven $4,000,000.

The children might be interested to know that the sellers of the N. Vermont Avenue property only purchased the three-quarter-plus acre estate in August of 2005 for $4,200,000.

A few flicks of the well worn beads on our bejeweled abacus reveals that after the considerable real estate fees were paid the sellers surely lost several hundred thousand smackers.

Also, and somewhat interestingly, the well-provenanced property was listed at $3,995,000, which means that if property records are accurate (and they better be), the Noxon–Kohan couple coughed up $5,000 over the asking price, something that just isn't happening all that much in Los Angeles anymore.

Listing information and previous reports on the property reveal the dignified Mediterranean manse was built in 1919 and designed by an architect named Elmer Grey, who happens to be the same fellow responsible for The Huntington Art Gallery in Pasadena and the Beverly Hills Hotel in, natch, Beverly Hills.

The Bixby Estate was commissioned by and built for a man named Stafford Bixby who was part of the Long Beach Bixbys who in the mid to late 1800s owned and ranched much of the land that is now Long Beach.

At some point, according to listing information, the property was transferred to someone in the Chandler family (of the L.A. Time Chandler family) but honestly puppies, Your Mama does not know (or care much) which one.

Since the whichever Chandler owned the place, there have been several other owners.

Listing information indicates the "L" shaped main mini-mansion measures 5,919 square feet and includes 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

However, a fast perusal the floor plan shows three principle bedrooms and 2 full and 2 half bathrooms in the main house, plus a staff bedroom and bath tucked back behind the laundry room.

The grounds also include a detached guest house with a fireplace and private pooper.

The front door, flanked by two stone carved Chinese-looking lions opens to a lovely paneled entrance hall with a double set of French doors leading to the bougainvillea lined rear terrace.

To the right is a graciously proportioned and paneled 33-foot long living room that stretches the entire width of the house from front to back.

Beyond the living room are a home office with fireplace and an informal study/family room with an oddly located attached half-bathroom, a wood beamed ceiling, arched built in book niches and a couple of fantabulous arched French door windows that open to the rear and side terraces.

To the left of the entrance hall is the paneled and decent sized dining room with still more French doors leading to outdoor spaces.

Behind the dining room are the home's service areas which include a breakfast area, a large center island kitchen, another half bathroom, the back stairs, a large laundry room and staff bedroom and bath.

Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms each feature walk in closets and share a bathroom.

The massive master bedroom measures a commodious 18-feet wide and 30-feet long and includes a wood burning fireplace and a small private terrace overlooking the front yard which provides a perfect and private spot for Mister Noxon and Miz Kohan to smoke a little weed before bed, should that be an illegal activity they enjoy.

Beyond the bedroom is the large master bath where a large bathtub is surrounded by paned windows and a fashion fanatics dream of a walk-in closet that measures approximately 400 square feet and features a bank of paned windows for natural light.

The fully walled and secured grounds include a gated motor court at the rear of the property where the above mentioned guest house is located as well as another diminutive detached building perfect for a home office, art studio or hookah lounge and a detached 2-car garage with a terlit stuck up in the corner so that Driver need not ever stink up the poopers in the main house.

Tucked into a private rear corner of the property is a wonderfully simple rectangular swimming pool surrounded by trees which will probably drive the pool man crazy, but provide a nice amount of shade from the blistering SoCal summertime sunshine.

Property records show the couple's previous home on N. Normandie Ave, which records show was purchased in December of 1996 for just $520,000, is close enough to their new one that they could probably push many of their belongings over in a few shopping carts borrowed from the nearby Ralph's grocery store on Hollywood Boulevard.

## UPDATE – Stage 1 – Water Conservation Alert – UPDATE

##### UPDATE – Stage 1 – Water Conservation Alert – UPDATE

Bolivia, NC – A Stage 1 Water Conservation Alert remains in effect.

Based on the ongoing hot weather that tends to elevate water demand, this Water Conservation Alert will remain in effect through the month of July and into August when it will be re-evaluated.

Please continue to use water wisely; your water conservation is having a positive impact.

Residents who have questions should contact their water service provider directly or Brunswick County Public Utilities at 910-253-2657.

Additional information can be found at <http://www.brunswickcountync.gov/>.

##### STAGE 1 – WATER CONSERVATION ALERT

All customers of a public water system anywhere in Brunswick County are affected by Water Conservation Alerts.

Brunswick County Public Utilities provides water service in unincorporated portions of Brunswick County as well as the following communities: Boiling Spring Lakes, Bolivia, Calabash, Carolina Shores, Caswell Beach, Sandy Creek, St. James, Sunset Beach, and Varnamtown.

Customers of other utilities such as Bald Head Island, Brunswick Regional – H2GO (Belville), Holden Beach, Leland, Navassa, Northwest, Oak Island, Ocean Isle Beach, Shallotte, and Southport are under the same restrictions since these utilities receive their water from Brunswick County Public Utilities.

Under a Stage 1 Water Alert, water system customers are requested to make voluntary adjustments to their water usage habits to appreciably reduce peak demands.

(A peak demand of 80% of system production and distribution capacity being targeted).

Irrigation demands represent the bulk of non-essential water use, so a primary way that customers may reduce water usage is to limit irrigation.

A unified application of voluntary water reductions by all water system users in Brunswick County may help to avoid mandatory water restrictions in the event drought conditions do not lessen.

Specific ways to reduce water usage are as follows:

Use the following recommended irrigation schedule to even out system demands:

Odd address numbers – Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday b. Even address numbers – Wednesday/Friday/Sunday c.

Defer all non-essential water use to outside the peak demand hours of 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m; preferably after nightfall.

One inch of water per week in the summer will keep most types of grass healthy.

To determine how long you need to run your sprinkler to provide 1" of water, place straight edged cans at different distances from your sprinkler and time how long it takes to fill an average of 1" of water in each can.

Water occasionally, but deeply to encourage deeper rooting that makes grass more drought/heat tolerant.

4. Install rain shut-off devices on automatic sprinkler systems.

Don't water pavement and impervious surfaces.

6. Limit lawn watering to that necessary for plant survival.

Water lawns outside of the peak demand hours of 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m; preferably after nightfall.

7. Water shrubbery the minimum required.

Water shrubbery outside of the peak demand hours of 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Use drip irrigation systems in shrubbery beds and around trees to prevent water loss through evaporation.

8. Use abundant mulch around trees and shrubs to retain moisture.

9. Plant drought-tolerant grasses, trees, and plants.

10. Adjust mower height to a higher setting to retain moisture.

11. Limit the use of clothes washers and dishwashers and when used, operate fully loaded.

Operate dishwashers outside of the peak demand hours of 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m; preferably after nightfall.

Use commercial car washes that recycle water.

13. Use shower for bathing rather than bathtub and limit shower to no more than five (5) minutes.

14. Inspect and repair all faulty and defective parts of faucets and toilets.

15. Do not leave faucets running while shaving, brushing teeth, rinsing or preparing food.

Do not wash down outside areas such as sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc.

17. Install water-saving showerheads and other water conservation devices.

18. Install water-saving devices in toilets such as early closing flappers.

19. Limit hours of water-cooled air conditioners.

20. Keep drinking water in a container in the refrigerator instead of running water from a faucet until it is cool.

21. Do not fill new (or empty) swimming or wading pools.

Top off existing swimming pools from dusk until dawn.

22. Cover pool and spas when not in use to prevent evaporation.

23. Use disposable and biodegradable dishes where possible.

Please note that this Stage 1 Water Conservation Alert does not affect the use of private groundwater wells or those using highly treated reclaimed wastewater.

(St. James, Winding River, Sea Trail, and Sandpiper Bay golf courses use reclaimed water.

Other golf courses use wells and ponds for irrigation.)

Also, this is not a water quality advisory; this is a water conservation advisory.

There is no need to boil water for potable use unless you receive a Low Pressure Advisory notice for your specific area due to other conditions in the water distribution system.

Residents will be notified if any other conservation measures are needed and when conditions dictate that restrictions are no longer required.

Course of the war.:Axis advance stalls (1942–43).:Pacific (1942–43).

In January 1942, the only Allied success against Japan was a Chinese victory at Changsha. These easy victories over unprepared US and European opponents left Japan overconfident, as well as overextended.
 In early May 1942, Japan initiated operations to capture Port Moresby by amphibious assault and thus sever communications and supply lines between the United States and Australia. The planned invasion was thwarted when an Allied task force, centred on two American fleet carriers, fought Japanese naval forces to a draw in the Battle of the Coral Sea. Japan's next plan, motivated by the earlier Doolittle Raid, was to seize Midway Atoll and lure American carriers into battle to be eliminated; as a diversion, Japan would also send forces to occupy the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. In mid-May, Japan started the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign in China, with the goal of inflicting retribution on the Chinese who aided the surviving American airmen in the Doolittle Raid by destroying air bases and fighting against the Chinese 23rd and 32nd Army Groups. In early June, Japan put its operations into action, but the Americans, having broken Japanese naval codes in late May, were fully aware of the plans and order of battle, and used this knowledge to achieve a decisive victory at Midway over the Imperial Japanese Navy.
 With its capacity for aggressive action greatly diminished as a result of the Midway battle, Japan chose to focus on a belated attempt to capture Port Moresby by an overland campaign in the Territory of Papua.


Tiana Tolstoi is an Egyptian-born French model of Korean, Serbian, and Russian descent.

# New York Fashion Week: Otherworldly Model Tiana Tolstoi Loves New York

Born in Egypt to a family who traces its heritage to Korea, Serbia and Russia, and then raised and schooled in Paris, on-the-rise model Tiana Tolstoi is the very definition of cultured and worldly—which is why I was taken by surprise when her eyes got wide and wild as she exclaimed, "But I love New York!"

I'm not sure she'll stay settled down for too long (though at the end of this post you'll hear her talk about one very good reason to do so for the time being); she all but belongs to the world.

Witness this Vogue Italia spread and this cover for Vogue China.

Still, as we walked around SoHo taking pictures, she listed her three reasons for loving the heck out of this town.

They talk to you on the street like, 'Hey, I like your socks!'

In France they will correct your accent, but here everyone is from somewhere else, so we are all just talking and no one minds if it's not perfect."

Before I came everyone told me it was so amazing, but all of the things I thought were going to be amazing … that is not what really amazes me.

I just like the buildings and the way of life, the normal things are really so cool to me."

You can get ice cream in the middle of the night—or anything.

In Paris everything closes down so early and you are always wishing you had something that you don't have, but it's too bad.

You just have to wait until the morning.

Flock, the stupidly simple app for dealing with group photos, has finally make its way over to the Android platform.

Basically, Flock recognizes the photos on your phone that were taken with your family and friends.

Then it automagically creates a single album in the cloud and shares it with everyone in that set of pics.

All you have to do is download the app; the rest is set-it-and-forget-it simple.

The app comes from Bump, the startup that brought you its flagship bump-phones-to-exchange-contact-info app.

"Android has been growing at unprecedented rates, and even those folks not using Android have friends and family who are, so we expect this launch to make the Flock experience better for everyone," said Bump CEO Dave Lieb in a blog post on the news.

"As with our iOS version, we've taken care to make sure that Flock for Android is a great experience for people, and we're experimenting with a few new UI ideas that are well-suited for Android."

Here's a demo video showing how Flock works:

The Flock team says the average active Flock user will get around 26 photos each week — pics snapped by other people, and pics that they would never have seen otherwise because they're not being publicly shared on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, or other social services.

You can download Flock free in the Google Play store.

Bump was founded in 2008 in Chicago and is currently based in Mountain View, Calif.

It's raised roughly $20 million in venture capital to date.

Flock's competitors are few and mostly reside in the private-photo-sharing space — for example, Kicksend.

The underlying idea of a synchronous gesture like bumping two devices for content transfer or pairing them was first conceived by Ken Hinkley of Microsoft Research in 2003. This idea was presented at a user interface and technology conference that same year. The paper proposed the use of accelerometers and a bumping gesture of two devices to enable communication, screen sharing and content transfer between them. Similar to this original concept, the idea for Bump app was conceived by David Lieb, a former employee of Texas Instruments, while he was attending the University of Chicago Booth School of Business for his MBA. While going through the orientation and meeting process of business school, he became frustrated by constantly entering contact information into his iPhone and felt that the process could be improved. His fellow Texas Instruments employees Andy Huibers and Jake Mintz, who was a classmate of Lieb’s at the University of Chicago’s MBA program, joined Lieb to form Bump Technologies.


That is a contributing factor to the high poverty rates of Cambodian Americans since the first major wave of Cambodian refugees emigrated to the United States in 1975.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Social Text 18.1 (2000) 55-79 [Access article in PDF]

## Collateral Damage: Southeast Asian Poverty in the United States

On 22 August 1996, President Bill Clinton signed into law the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA).

Once fully implemented, this act has the potential to destroy the means of subsistence of millions of working and jobless poor who will be removed from all federal assistance programs granted under the Social Security Act by the year 2002.

1 Yet the damaging effects of PRWORA have already been felt.

Those who were targeted to suffer the most immediate and life-threatening cuts to the welfare state were "legal," green-card-holding immigrants receiving federal aid through the Social Security Administration (SSA).

In September 1997, states began implementing their specific plans to remove immigrants from SSA-administered Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled and elderly, and food stamps for dependent, immigrant children.

Following this initial immigrant removal, federal cash assistance programs, namely Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), will be drastically reduced and eventually eliminated for both citizens and immigrants within five years of the signing of PRWORA. 2

Southeast Asians in the United States--primarily Vietnamese, Lao, Hmong, and Cambodian immigrants--represent the largest per capita race or ethnic group in the country receiving public assistance.

3 Originally placed on federal welfare rolls as a temporary and "adaptive" measure under the Indochina Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1975, a large segment of Southeast Asian refugees who fled their homelands in the aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Vietnam and the subsequent bombing of Cambodia by the United States are now entering a third consecutive decade of welfare dependency, contrary to government officials' predictions of a seamless transition into American labor markets.

Stripped of their refugee status in the post-Cold War era, virtually all Southeast Asians have now been reclassified as permanent residents (or "legal" immigrants) and are therefore fully subject to the impending cuts under PRWORA.

The consequences of the new law's "immigrant removal" campaign are sweeping and disastrous for Southeast Asian communities that, in California alone, have shown poverty and welfare-dependency rates of nearly 80 percent for the state's entire Southeast Asian population.

For many of its critics, PRWORA represents a post-civil rights, neoconservative backlash against the poor and nonwhite sectors of the United States, particularly against the black urban poor who have been labeled the new "underclass"--a damaging term that encompasses a range of racist imagery including the sexually deviant "welfare queen," the "dysfunctional" black family, and the uncontrollably violent black male.

These distorted and dehumanizing constructions are reproduced in mainstream periodicals, popular literature, and even liberal-leaning policy reports.

5 Yet, despite its wide circulation, the term underclass evades a precise and agreed-on definition.

According to historian Robin Kelley, this lack of precision stems from the fact that underclass has never actually referred to a class of people but rather to a set of behaviors.

"What makes the 'underclass' a class," suggests Kelley, "is members' common behavior--not their income, their poverty level, or the kind of work they do.

It's a definition of class driven more by social panic than by systemic analysis."

The common behaviors that comprise the underclass are wide ranging and arbitrary; they can include criminal mischief, sexual promiscuity, shiftlessness, dependency, nihilism, immorality, and deviance.

In an attempt to offer some coherence to these random sets of behaviors, underclass proponents have conveniently drawn on the term culture.

Indeed, underclass behaviors are often grouped together to represent a so-called culture of poverty.

Here, the new underclass literature is appropriating and distorting the work of Oscar Lewis, who, in the early 1960s, first introduced the phrase subculture of poverty.

Lewis, however, did not evoke culture to describe a set of immutable behaviors, but rather to describe the daily practices that poor people engaged in, in an effort to both survive and resist systemic inequality and class polarization.

For contemporary culture of poverty theorists, the addition of culture still...

In 2014, it was reported that Cambodia Town, Long Beach, California, the only officially recognized ethnic enclave of Cambodian Americans, had a poverty rate of 32.4%. That was a little over twice the average of America society as a whole, which was 16% according to a 2011 study by the government.
 In 2014, a factfinder census, with Americans' per capita income being divided by ethnic groups, Cambodian Americans were revealed to have a per capita income of only $20,182, below the American average of $25,825. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996, resulted in many legal immigrants losing the federal aid that they had been receiving from the Social Security Administration. That especially affected Cambodian immigrants and other Southeast Asians, who were the largest per capita race or ethnic group receiving public assistance in the United States. Under the Indochina Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1975, many Southeast Asian refugees were placed on federal welfare rolls. That was intended as a temporary measure until they integrated, but by 1996, they had been stripped of their refugee status. However, nearly 80 percent of California's Southeast Asian population was living in poverty and/or welfare-dependent. That made the law have a large impact on Cambodian Americans and other citizens of Southeast Asian descent.

While I'm Here, The Legacy Project is a passion project that we started after letting time pass and missing out on the chance to tell the story of a man who was near and dear to our hearts.

He passed away, and in his memory, we started the project with the idea of telling stories about other incredible people who are doing extraordinary things.

These are everyday people who will one day leave behind a powerful legacy, and we want to help tell their stories through their own voices, while they're still here.

Initially we had planned to stay within North America for budgeting reasons.

When Guill Ramos (who would eventually become our fixer for the project) sent us an email and suggested Apo Whang-od for the project, we knew right away we had to take the project globally and go to tell her story in the Philippines.

Our crew, Preston Kanak, Pawel Dwulit, Tammy Foster, and I began to plan, and we also sent Guill up from Manilla to help pre-produce the project and get to know Whang-od before we made the journey ourselves.

I really battled whether or not to send Guill in advance because this is a passion project so every penny counts.

In the end, sending Guill ahead of time proved to be extremely valuable as we were able to a) know for sure Whang-od would be there and willing to have us spend the time we needed to film with her and b) already establish a great relationship with our subject before arriving ourselves since (lucky for us) Guill was incredible and Whang-od and the rest of the village loved her which made our job very easy upon arrival.

When it came time for production, the crew traveled from Canada to Manilla where we then met Guill and our driver Rodney and began a 13 or so hour drive towards Kalinga where Whang-od and the Butbut tribe are located.

From there, we hiked into the village, which took an hour or two and arrived to begin filming.

(1) Nikon D810 (For stills and time-lapse)

Our team spent four days filming with Whang-od, her grandniece Grace, the many tourists arriving to receive tattoos, and the rest of the Butbut tribe.

Having no opportunity to meet our characters in advance, it's always tough to know what to expect.

One of the challenges that we face with stories about people in their later years is that we can't ever predict how much time they'll be willing to give us when we arrive, and how they might be feeling during the process.

As we all know, production can be a pretty exhausting process.

We were very fortunate that we found ourselves trying to keep up with Whang-od rather than having to worry about her keeping up with us!

On projects like this, we always try to allow for a couple contingency days in case of bad weather, the story taking an unexpected turn or the need for extra time to capture those few additional shots that will really take the video to a new level.

It might cost us a little more budget wise but after all the prep, travel, and time, it's well worth it to have that breathing room.

We found for this particular story it allowed time to have the interview translated on site and gave us the chance to shoot with the interview in mind rather than trying to simply pick up shots and match them to the story later.

We also had time to think about how to introduce the story through the eyes of Whang-od's grandniece Grace, who is taking on the tradition of tattooing, and gave us the time to direct an opening aerial shot that we feel really pulls you into the story.

When production wrapped up, and we traveled back to Canada, we jumped into edits when we could between our jobs that were paying the bills.

We also paired up with an incredibly talented motion graphics team who created 3D versions of our Legacy subjects and projected imagery we had captured onto their faces, to create and amazing intro title sequence for the project.

Once they had picture lock, the team at Defacto took on sound design, and we finished the color on the piece using FilmConvert FJ 8553 ET stock, with 0-10 percent grain and color at about 90 per cent for the piece.

Using FilmConvert was especially useful to help match the drone footage up with the SLOG3 footage that was being recorded on the ground.

Ollie Kenchington - How to get the best footage from your camera

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your question.

It is just a matter of semantics, as a "white balance card" (a card designed for white balancing from) is normally light grey.

Grey is used for white balancing because (in most cameras) the minimum amount of signal compression occurs in the middle tonal range, so the camera can make a much more accurate reading from that region, compared to white, where the gamma curve compresses the signal more and it's more likely that one or more of your channels could be clipped.

The key thing is that your white balance target is spectrally flat, reflecting all the frequencies of the light hitting it, and that you white balance in camera.

I wouldn't advise using a white picker in post to fix white balance, due to the compression that occurs in camera, as discussed in the article.

Michael - Creating a real film look with FilmConvert –

Loads of handy tips thanks, one thing that has me puzzled, footage I've shot with the blackmagic pocket cinema camera when I add film convert to the clip and choose the blackmagic camera profile the clip comes out really awful ,over saturated, contrast and brightness way to much,and I have to resort to using one of the other camera profiles ,

Any tips as to what I might be doing wrong, this happens in both premiere pro cs6 and in premiere CC, any help appreciated.

Jason - How to get the best footage from your camera

Hello - could you clarify something - towards the end of the article, you reference the use of a " spectrally-flat, grey card on your shoots" and then in the conclusion you say "White balance properly in camera, using a spectrally-flat white balance card".

I'm assuming a white card, as a grey card would only allow you adjust in post.

Otherwise a very sensible argument for a different approach to image capture.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage.

The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there.

With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside.

Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials.

Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed.

Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire.

If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop.

Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

James McAvoy and Christina Ricci star in "Penelope," directed by Mark Palansky.

# Cursed With a Face Only a Sow Could Love

"Cinderella" meets "The Ugly Duckling" in "Penelope," a muddled, charm-free fairy tale whose title character, played by Christina Ricci, is a rich girl born with the snout of a pig.

The movie's fundamental flaws begin with Penelope's appearance.

She is supposed to be so hideous that potential suitors dive out of the windows of her family's London mansion at the first sight of her.

After an encounter one greedy twit, Edward Vanderman (Simon Woods), goes to the newspapers with a tale of being attacked by a fanged monster, but nobody believes him.

In actuality Penelope Wilhern, who is hidden away in the house by her snobbish parents, Jessica (Catherine O'Hara) and Franklin (Richard E. Grant), is more adorable than Miss Piggy.

Her nose, through which runs a carotid artery (thus precluding cosmetic surgery), is well-shaped, symmetrical and cutely turned up.

Ms. Ricci plays her as a smart, hardheaded young woman who stoically accepts her fate.

She suffers from an ancient family curse that can be lifted, she is told, only when she marries a man of equivalent social station.

The movie takes a wrong turn when Edward, ridiculed for his horror story, teams up with Lemon (Peter Dinklage), a tabloid journalist wearing an eye patch, to prove her existence.

They recruit Max (James McAvoy), a down-and-out aristocrat with gambling debts, to court Penelope and photograph her.

Max fails to produce a picture, but in their brief encounter a spark is struck.

Penelope, desperate to experience the real world, eventually runs away from home with a scarf wrapped over her nose and is befriended by Annie, a tough-talking bike messenger played by Reese Witherspoon (one of the movie's producers in a thankless cameo performance).

Once Penelope's identity is discovered, she becomes a tabloid celebrity.

Directed by Mark Palansky from a screenplay by Leslie Caveny, "Penelope" is a hopeless jumble of visual and linguistic styles.

Its Tim Burton-manqué look combines old-fashioned storybook London with a 21st-century cityscape, and the characters speak in a welter of accents (British and American and in between).

This is a movie in which even Ms. O'Hara, whose twinkling sense of mischief can make almost anything funny, is comically stymied.

Without humor the movie's messages about self-acceptance, snobbery and a paparazzi-infected media register as annoyingly smug.

How much better "Penelope" might have been if it were animated, with a "Shrek"-worthy heroine who could magically transform.

"Penelope" is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested.)

Directed by Mark Palansky; written by Leslie Caveny; director of photography, Michel Amathieu; edited by Jon Gregory; produced by Reese Witherspoon, Scott Steindorff and Jennifer Simpson; released by Summit Entertainment.

WITH: Christina Ricci (Penelope Wilhern), James McAvoy (Johnny/Max), Catherine O'Hara (Jessica Wilhern), Peter Dinklage (Lemon), Richard E. Grant (Franklin Wilhern), Simon Woods (Edward Vanderman) and Reese Witherspoon (Annie).

STAGE 2 of the Gold Coast light rail line in the Australian state of Queensland was opened for commuters on December 18, several weeks ahead of schedule.

The 7.5km extension links the existing light rail terminus at Gold Coast University with the TransLink station at Helensvale, where it connects with direct suburban rail services to Brisbane.

"With a new tram network linking to heavy rail, public transport on the Gold Coast is in best-ever shape for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in April 2018," says minister for transport Mr Mark Bailey.

"With the expanded Helensvale Station, the transition is seamless, so travelling from the heart of the Gold Coast to the Brisbane CBD or vice-versa is a stress-free experience."

In January 2018, an extra 158 weekly bus services will be added to the Gold Coast network and several bus routes will be revised to integrate with the light rail network.

Stage 1 of the light rail line, extending 13km from Southport to Broadbeach, began operating in July 2014.

Stage 2 has been jointly funded by the state and federal governments, and the City of Gold Coast, and delivered via a public-private partnership with the existing GoldLinQ consortium.

# As Turkey's Protests Continue, Attention Falls on Failures of Turkish Media

By Pelin Turgut / Istanbul June 06, 2013

Protesters stand on the roof of a building at sunset in Istanbul's Taksim Square on June 4, 2013

As epic clashes between antigovernment protesters and riot police turned downtown Istanbul into a battle zone last weekend, the country's two main news channels had, well, not much to report.

To many Turks, their silence was symptomatic of the self-censorship Turkey's media have practiced under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's tightfisted 10-year rule.

Penguin T-shirts, penguin jokes and penguin costumes now abound — the bird has become a symbol of protesters' frustration with the mainstream media.

"Our audience feels like they were betrayed," said NTV chief executive Cem Aydin on Tuesday after a meeting with staff, some of whom resigned in protest at the lack of coverage.

Criticism of the channel was "fair to a large extent," he said.

They initially began over plans to raze a park in central Istanbul but soon turned into a mass outpouring of anger against the government and have spread to more than 60 cities in Turkey.

Curbs on press freedom rank high among demonstrators' grievances, alongside concern over the government's authoritarian manner and Islamist-influenced agenda.

(MORE: Dodging Tear Gas Over Discussion of Turkey's Financial Future)

Critics say Erdogan's government has sought to control the media by levying heavy tax fines and seizing the assets of media firms perceived to be critical of his administration.

Many large media companies also own businesses in fields like energy, banking and mining.

Though the government denied any political motivation in those cases, the end result has been a deferential approach on the part of mainstream news outlets to government policies.

Controversial journalists were quietly asked to leave.

Meanwhile, Erdogan often sued cartoonists and journalists who criticized him.

According to an online poll by Istanbul's Bilgi University this week, 84% of demonstrators in Istanbul cited lack of media coverage among reasons for joining the protests, compared with 56% who cited the destruction of the park.

On Sunday, for example, after tens of thousands of people flooded into Istanbul's Taksim Square, the front page of Sabah, a top-selling newspaper, lauded Erdogan for his antismoking campaign.

Sabah is owned by Calik Holding, a group whose chief executive, Berat Albayrak, is Erdogan's son-in-law.

Two state banks helped finance its 2008 purchase.

Fallout from the protests has hurt some media companies and their affiliates.

Garanti Bank, a sister company of the NTV news station, owned by the Dogus conglomerate, said 35 million to 40 million lira ($18.6 million to $21.2 million) in funds were withdrawn in the past week, while about 1,500 credit cards were canceled.

Meanwhile, protesters have called on CNN International to withdraw its franchising agreement with CNN Turk, the Turkish channel that ran the penguin documentary.

But while mainstream media fell short, social media have thrived.

Like at Egypt's Tahrir Square, Turkey's protests are largely coordinated using Twitter and Facebook, where Turks constitute the world's fourth largest community.

"Social media is hugely important to what we do," says one of the first activists to camp out in Istanbul's Gezi Park.

From a tent in the middle of the park, faced with police tear-gassing at night, the group used Twitter to spread the word and rally thousands.

The level of interaction on social media has been "phenomenal," according to a study by New York University's Social Media and Political Participation Lab published on June 1.

More than 3,000 tweets per minute were sent about the protests after midnight on May 31, it said.

"Dissatisfied with the mainstream media's coverage of the event, which has been almost nonexistent within Turkey, Turkish protesters have begun live-tweeting the protests," study authors Pablo Barbera and Megan Metzger wrote.

Protesters encouraged Turks to turn off their televisions in protest over the lack of coverage of the mainstream media by promoting the hashtag #BugünTelevizyonlarıKapat (literally, "turn off the TVs today").

(MORE: Protests in Turkey: Will Taksim Become Erdogan's Tahrir)

"What is unique about this particular case is how Twitter is being used to spread information about the demonstrations from the ground," the study said.

Around 90% of all geo-located tweets came from within Turkey.

In comparison, only an estimated 30% of those tweeting about Tahrir Square during the Egyptian revolution were in the country.

Using Twitter, three young Turks in New York over the weekend launched a campaign on the crowdsourcing site Indiegogo to raise awareness of the protests that became one of the site's fastest-ever political campaigns.

Their bid to raise enough money for a full-page ad in the New York Times received donations from 50 countries at a rate of over $2,500 per hour in its first day, crossing its $53,800 goal in about 21 hours.

The government, in turn, has attacked social media for misleading the public, with Erdogan calling it a "menace."

Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said in a speech yesterday that the government "could have shut down Internet access, but we didn't."

In Gezi Park, hand-drawn banners and info sheets list tips on what to do if Internet access does get cut off.

They range from old-school international dial-up numbers for modems that can be used, to VPN programs.

On Thursday, the popularly elected Erdogan showed no sign of seeking rapprochement with protesters, whom he has referred to as "a handful of marauders."

The park-redevelopment scheme would continue as planned, he told reporters at the end of a four-day trip to Africa.

He also warned that "terrorist groups" were involved in the protests.

Even as Turkey's war over information continues, the battle could soon turn back to the streets.

Media censorship and disinformation during the Gezi Park protests

The 2013 Gezi Park protests in Turkey saw massive amounts of censorship and disinformation by the mainstream media, especially by those supporting Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP).

That of the 2015 album contains extensive notation about both.

As with the first film, the music in "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" was composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, who also has a cameo in the film alongside his wife. In the latter half of the film, Gizmo, inspired by the "Rambo" films and tired of the abuse he has suffered at the hands of the gremlins, takes revenge on Mohawk. Gizmo shoots the Mohawk spider-gremlin with a makeshift bow and flaming arrow. For the scene in which Gizmo prepares for this move, Goldsmith – who had also authored the music in the "Rambo" films – employed a variant of Gizmo's theme in the style of the "Rambo" theme.

NEW MUSIC: Premiering collaborations with:

Featuring NASA video footage during sets

Over the course of the next two weekends Moby's DJ performances as part of Coachella 2013 will signify his first appearance at the festival since it began in 1999.

Since it's conception under the shade of the palm trees that line Empire Polo Club's fields in Indio, California Coachella has evolved to become the opening event for the american summer music festival season.

Spanning two weekends, April 12-14th and April 19th-21st Moby will be DJing in the Sahara Tent on both Saturdays: the 13th and the 20th.

Moby will be premiering NEW MUSIC from his recent collaborations with producers Loops of Fury, Zodiac Cartel, Cold Blank and Darth & Vader, to get ready for the experience head over to Potato.tv for Moby's most recent guest mix.

Potato.tv is a celebration of all things this innovative festival in the desert fosters—amazing electronic music and explosive energy.

Curated by Skrillex, Diplo and A-Trak Potato.tv was excited to have Moby lend a little something to get the party started in the days building up to his live event.

Moby is treating his audience to a visual collaboration as well: NASA images from space!

Against the desert skies videos will be presented, encompassing NASA's wide range of space exploration and technology, from human spaceflight to the Hubbel Telescope, to heliospheric and planetary probe imagery.

Piers Sellers, an astronaut for NASA is beyond excited for this opportunity, "NASA continues to push outwards.

We're looking at the health of the Earth, the surface of Mars and we're finding thousands of new plants around other stars.

It's a big universe – all of us at NASA are happy to help you explore it."

For Moby collaborating with NASA is like living out a childhood dream.

"When I was growing up I was a science and sci-fi obsessed kid, and now I'm a science and sci-fi obsessed adult

I've done lots of things with NASA over the years, and I'm really thrilled that they've offered to let me use all of these amazing visuals during my Coachella DJ set."

Moby will also be reuniting with another previous partner, these now sacred Polo Grounds of Indo, California.

"In 1999 I was asked to play the first Coachella, and it ended up being one of my all-time favorite festival experiences.

Because of scheduling issues I haven't been able to play any of the subsequent years, but this year I'm really, truly excited to be going back for the first time since 1999.

I'm also incredibly proud of Paul and the people behind Coachella, for having the vision to start this amazing festival in the desert."

In January 2010, Moby announced that he had started work on a new album. He later summarised its style as: "Broken down melodic electronic music for empty cities at 2 a.m." The album was promoted with an EP containing three tracks from the album, given free to those who had signed up to Moby's mailing list, entitled "Be the One", in February 2011. The album, "Destroyed", was released in May 2011. A same-titled book of Moby's photography was released around the time of the album. Moby took to an online poll to decide the next single from "Destroyed"; the fans picked "Lie Down in Darkness". This was followed by "After" and "The Right Thing", both influenced as to what fans had picked. A limited edition remixed version of "Destroyed" was released in 2012 as "Destroyed Remixed" and includes new remixes by David Lynch, Holy Ghost!, and System Divine, and a new 30-minute ambient track named "All Sides Gone".
 Moby toured worldwide through 2013, completing acoustic and DJ sets at various concerts and festivals.


In May 2013, Trevorrow tweeted a picture of Kauai taken during location scouting with the caption "Nublar", the name of the island in the original film.

# Does JURASSIC PARK 4 Take Place on the Original Island Isla Nublar?

Though it only recently landed a director and has yet to fill out its cast, Jurassic Park 4 is still planned to hit theaters next summer.

Safety Not Guaranteed helmer Colin Trevorrow was tapped to direct the sequel last month, and Steven Spielberg is onboard to produce alongside Frank Marshall.

We know that Trevorrow will shoot in 3D and the film has a script by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) that includes a new dinosaur, but other than that story details have been kept firmly under wraps.

Will we see the return of original characters?

Just how big can the dino droppings get?

These questions have yet to be answered, but it appears that Trevorrow has just offered a major hint regarding the pic's story, as he shared an image today from a location scout with the caption "Nublar," which as we all know is the name of the island from the first Jurassic Park.

With a June 2014 release date looming, Trevorrow is currently busy scouting locations for Jurassic Park 4 ahead of a likely fall production start date.

He offered up an image from one of his scouts that showed an island setting and captioned the photo with the word "Nublar," suggesting that the story of Jurassic Park 4 takes place on the same Isla Nublar from the first film.

Whether that means we'll be returning to the old park for the full film or if it's just a few scenes is unknown, but I'm really interested to see the direction the franchise takes this time around.

Both The Lost World and Jurassic Park III featured characters from the original film, but I could easily see the studio setting JP4 up as the beginning of a new series of films with new characters.

Check out the image below via Trevorrow's Twitter, and sound off in the comments with what you think a return to Isla Nublar means for the story of JP4.

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Spoiler Free Video Blog Review »

I would kind of like to see Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill together again.

But there would have to be some sort of draw for them to be brought back to the island.

Hammond has died and his burial is on Isla Nublar, shit hits the fan when the dinosaurs decide to attend it.

This is the single piece of news that I was most hoping to hear about the film.

Awesome, I always wanted it to return to the original island.

I want to see the old run down buildings taken over by jungle and dinosaurs!

I found it so bizarre the kept going to that damn second island…

I would actually really like to see Tim as the lead, Mozello has turned out to be a good actor ( The Pacific, Social Network) I can see the story revolving around Tim, taking over InGen from his grandpa and trying to salvage what he can from the bankrupt company.

I'm massively stoked that this is happening!

The first film bore the name Jurassic Park, because thats what it was about.

The sequels were not about Jurassic PARK.

(Though fair enough, The Lost world, was about a lost world.

(Operation Genesis game was perfect setting.)

I think a potential trilogy could be had here, also, explaining why the Dinos differ from recent discoveries, ie feathers, size differences etc..

Could be, that these are genetic mutations due to frog dna gene sequence.

But perhapse even purposely mutated to "look" more like the dinos the visitors came to expect.

Afterall, Grant said in JP3, those were Monsters, not dinosaurs!

Would love to see some additional dinos, maybe ocean based ones, river etc.. maybe with Jaws-3 tunnels to view them.

"Time" also did a great job as a snake handler on Justified.

Going back to the first island is a good idea.

Hope they keep the dinos realistic and avoid the man/dino hybrids.

Or try to cash in on the zombie craze with undead dinos.

Keep it realistic, don't go overboard with the silliness.

Yeah those man-dino hybrid designs should never have seen the light of the day.

Good points all round, I've always envisaged another Jurassic Park series as closer to the books, with the drama suppied by the dinosaurs getting loose and a more tangible/threatening industrial espionage story that was only touched on in the first.

We all know The Lost World was Spielberg making King Kong.

It was incredibly misguided as the source material was arguably better than the first novel.

Throw in Dodgson and Biosyn and have that group looking to conduct was is essentially a heist of the embryos.

What you then have is a race to get to them and get off the island.

I've never really liked the idea of a second island, especially since it wasnt mentioned in the first novel or book – and considering we were shown them hatching and working on dinosaurs in that lab.

Whilst it could have been reported action I think it weird they'd work on and breed them in another location and then ship them to site A.

The only original cast members I'd like to see return would be the kids: Tim (Joseph Mazzello) and Lex (Ariana Richards).

I want the damn Carnotaur with his stupid camouflage system ….and I want it now!

The season they went to site B for movies 2 and 3 was that that is where the actaull dinosaur creation and growing process was happening.

I like the Marvel comics 'Savage Land' with Kazar and the Sabertooth tiger kind of angle.

After many years, a child could have been surving on the island, as an apeman.

Having an apeman like Kazar, Tarzan, or Wolferain (of Wolferain and the Vampires of Congo) would be a cool new twist.

Another twist would be having a vampire involved.

Vampires are faster and stronger than men.

Would be cool to have a vampire challenging a T-Rex, while also reallizing that the T-Res is stronger and more dangerous.

Or having a vampire-gorillas, led by a vampire fighting the T-Rex, the way it happened in the Wolferain story.

After reading Jaffa and Silver's draft, Trevorrow insisted on completely rewriting the script with writing partner Derek Connolly, who had never seen any of the "Jurassic Park" films prior to that point. Trevorrow had told the filmmakers, "if I direct this screenplay, it's going to be a bad movie. I'm gonna do a bad job, because I just don't get it." Trevorrow and Connolly wrote their own draft of the script over a couple of weeks. The studio received the draft on May 6, 2013, and found the script changes more large-scale than anticipated. On May 8, 2013, the studio announced it was pushing the release from June 13, 2014, to an unspecified future date. Filming had been set to begin on June 24, 2013. Delaying the film allowed Trevorrow and Connolly more time to work on the script, as Spielberg felt that it needed improvement. Another reason for the delay was to allow time for the construction of practical sets for the fictional theme park; it was previously intended to add in these buildings using computer effects.
