May Spils
May is the fifth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and is the third of seven months to have a length of 31 days. May is a month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, May in the Southern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of November in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. Late May typically marks the start of the summer vacation season in the United States (Memorial Day) and Canada (Victoria Day) that ends on Labor Day, the first Monday of September. May (in Latin, ''Maius'') was named for the Greek goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman era goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May. Conversely, the Roman poet Ovid provides a second etymology, in which he says that the month of May is named for the ''maiores,'' Latin for "elders," and that the following month (June) is named for the ''iuniores,'' or "young people" (''Fasti VI.88'').

Brutality In Stone
Brutality in Stone (german: Brutalität in Stein) is a 1961 German documentary film directed by Alexander Kluge and Peter Schamoni. Produced at a time when German cinema preferred to forget the nation's Nazi past, the black and white film recalls the speeches and rallies of Adolf Hitler in a largely motionless setting. Background Visually, the film focuses on the architecture of the ruined Nazi party rally grounds in Nuremberg. The film draws connection between the design of these structures and the ideology of National Socialism. Repetitive motifs, such as pillars and sharp corners, have particular visual prominence in the film. Art historian Hans-Ernst Mittig refers to the combative angles and lockstep orderliness of the structures as "architectural militarism" (German: ''architektonischer Militarismus''), which reverberates in the film's audio of cheering crowds at Hitler's rallies. ''Brutality in Stone'' premiered at what is now known as the International Short Film Festiva ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
