The Ho Chi Minh City Museum of History is introducing a collection of never-before-seen antiques to the world through an online exhibition. The museum first began developing the exhibition in early February, when administrators realized an online display would allow them to showcase invaluable collections to the public while fulfilling a demand for museum going amongst those too worried to venture into public during the ongoing pandemic. The online exhibit can be found at baotanglichsutphcm.com.vn, where dozens of antiques are on display alongside their full details of origin, initial owners, and value. Hoang Anh Tuan, the museum’s director, said the online exhibition is an experiment in the application of technology to archive management and data extraction. “We have many collections that have yet to be exhibited.

By Michael A. Friedman “Look in my eyes, what do you see? The cult of personality . I know your anger , I know your dreams . I’ve been everything you want to be. I’m the cult of personality.” — from “ Cult of Personality ” by Living Colour There is something enticing about viewing the world in simplistic all-or-none terms of “good” and “evil.” We love seeing ourselves as righteous and perfect, while viewing those with whom we have conflict as villainous and devoid of moral value. Why get involved in the stickiness of the complexity of human interaction? And often we choose our entertainment based on our desire for this fantasy world. Good guys versus bad guys, cops versus robbers, superheroes versus villains — these are the dichotomies that pervade our cultural landscape.

And the more intense the retribution, the better – because if … [Read more...] about Vernon Reid and the Power of Comic Book Complexity

New Plymouth Marist United (NPMU) has kept the pressure on the other teams after day one of round four of the premier two-day competition. Sitting atop prior to the round, NPMU dominated day one against Woodleigh. Having won the toss and electing to bat first, opener and NPMU stalwart Ryan Fleming anchored the innings with yet another century for the club. Fleming would finish on 126 not out as NPMU posted 285 for three and declared. In reply, the Woodleigh batsmen didn’t find the going so easily as they limped to stumps at 98 for seven with only Jesse Vertongen troubling the scorers with 45. NPMU will look to clean up the tail early on day two and push for the outright. Across town at Western Park it was a similar story with New Plymouth Old Boys (NPOB) in the box seat against Francis Douglas Memorial College (FDMC).
