Unpaid intern at UN office in Genčve forced to live in tent due to rents being too high: Not very interesting in itself, admittedly, but there are some revealing quotes in the article: quote:Genevans were shocked that the famous and much-loved institution should be connected to such a case. But inside the United Nations itself, there was little astonishment. quote:"Interns get a lot of experience," says Ahmad Fawzi, head of the UN's information service in Geneva. "First-hand knowledge about how the international system works: it's invaluable for them, and they have fun." quote:Unpaid internships are commonplace these days, and they can be good experience for young people hoping to gain experience in a possible future career field.

HUGE PUBES A PLUS posted:What museum did they get that out of? The US could kick the mothballs off of something from their old decommissioned Cold War era fleet. "Slava [original name] was laid down in 1976 in Shipyard 445 of the 61 Kommunara Shipbuilding Plant in Nikolayev, was launched in 1979, and commissioned on 30 January 1983." Roughly same era as the Ticonderoga-class, seems like. Here's another ship that should probably be in a museum:  "Kommuna is a submarine salvage ship in service with the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet. A double-hulled catamaran, she was laid down at the Putilov Factory (now the Kirov Factory) in St. Peterburg in November 1912 as the Volkhov, launched the following year, and commissioned on 14 June 1915. She was renamed the Kommuna on 31 December 1922. Having served in the Russian Imperial, Soviet, and Russian Federal navies through the Revolution and two world wars, she is the oldest ship still in service with any navy" Even with extensive refits along the way, you have to wonder how the hull has held up for so long.

That is clearly a proper socialist New Year's Eve get-together.  1980 Olympics mascot Mishka in an unlikely position. Physics aside, note how he is holding the bread and salt traditionally offered during welcoming ceremonies by a comely young woman in traditional costume. Presumably, he ate her and is hoping to lure in more victims with the bread.

Interestingly enough, the story has been filmed before.  quote:The 1942 James H. Street novel, Tap Roots, was inspired by Knight's actions in the Civil War. The novel was the basis for the 1948 film of the same name, which was directed by George Marshall. Due to the time in which it was released, the film ignored the interracial aspect, instead casting the tension as one of class.

Interesting how they removed the adjective which tells the reader what kind of traveller it is for sometime between 1956 and 1960. Had the word become too politically incorrect by that time?

Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg posted the following on her Facebook account (picture cropped by me to be on the safe side): "Here we see a picture that has contributed to shaping world history. A picture of a frightened child fleeing war. I appreciate the work Facebook and other media do to stop pictures and content that show transgressions and violence. It is important that we all contribute to combat violence and transgressions against children. But Facebook is making a mis-step when they censor such pictures. It contributes to limiting freedom of expression. I say yes to a healthy, open and free debate - on the net and elsewhere. But I say no to this form of censorship." Naturally, Facebook soon deleted the post.
