The Red Menace: Anti-Communist Propaganda of the Cold War

The Red Menace: Anti-Communist Propaganda of the Cold War | Päivät | Scoop.it

Every age has its bogeyman.  If you grew up in 1950s and 60s America you would have been bombarded with anti-communist propaganda. In hindsight it is perhaps easy to raise a wry eyebrow.  Yet at the time the threat was taken very seriously indeed. Here, hysteria intact, are a few of the stranger messages delivered to the American people.

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's curator insight, October 27, 2013 8:24 AM

Pistachios have prebiotic characteristics. They contain non-digestible food components such as dietary fiber, which remain in the gut and serve as food for naturally occurring bacteria. They also contain phytochemicals that have the potential to positively modify gut bacteria composition. This supports intestinal and overall health, including immunity, and improves mood...

What is Cinema?: Alfonso Cuarón and the Cinematic Precipice | Päivät | Scoop.it

Here is a wonderful compilation of excerpts from seven wildly different movies which all share something in common – amazing and thought provoking visuals as well as the directorial talents of Alfonso Cuarón.  There are a number of my personal all-time favourites in here: Children of Men and Y Tu Mamá También.  The compilation has been lovingly put together by Jorge Gonzalez Diaz with Quartet for the End of Time as the soundtrack.

What Makes A Boomerang Come Back?

What Makes A Boomerang Come Back? | Päivät | Scoop.it
The physics of boomerang flight

The boomerang is one of humanity's oldest heavier-than-air flying inventions. King Tutankhamen, who lived during the 14th century BC, owned an extensive collection, and aboriginal Australians used boomerangs in hunting and warfare at least as far back as 10,000 years ago. The world’s oldest boomerang, discovered in Poland’s Carpathian Mountains, is estimated to be more than 20,000 years old.
