  The Lay of the Land - A...

  A spiritually uplifting memoir by the hugely popular photographer on Instagram, Joe Greer, Lay of the Land is a collection of thoughtful essays—half fan favorites, and half never-before-seen. 
  “Each photograph really does come down to a split second when you decide to freeze that moment in time. . . . You ask yourself what the story is that you want to tell, and let the rest unfold: Click.”—from the introduction 
  Joe Greer never imagined he would become a photographer.  
  Raised in Florida by an aunt and uncle after his mother’s death when he was four, Joe had a seemingly normal childhood, spending summers at church camp and dreaming of going to college. But nearly fifteen years later, the ground shifted beneath his feet when he discovered a family secret that would impact the rest of his life. 
  Trying to make sense of that revelation and what it meant for his future, Greer set his sights on becoming a pastor at Spokane’s Moody Bible Institute. There, he discovered Instagram—and a passion for photography. His pictures of the lush, wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest landscape attracted a large following that has grown to more than three quarters of a millions fans and continues to expand.  
  The Lay of the Land is Joe’s story. In this stunning compendium, he reflects on the trauma of his early life and what photography has taught him: how to find his light; how to slow down; how to appreciate the world around him, a reverence for the nature world that that both nurtures and amplifies his creativity and faith; how to love—his photography led him to his wife, Madison—and how to heal. For Joe, photography has been a way to find purpose, better understand his faith, and express himself. Though he began with landscapes, meeting his wife sparked a new love of portraiture, and he turned to making photos of street scenes that explored his complicated feelings about family.  
  A love letter to the natural world, to faith, and to finding your calling in the most unexpected places, The Lay of the Land is a window into the beautiful mind and heart of one of the internet’s favorite photographers. Moving and inspiring, it is a creative and spiritual journey that offers lessons on life and living. As Greer reminds us all, whatever it is you want, it’s up to you to make the moment (and the photograph).

  Pala Empire - Guardians of...

  Rolf Hedger

  The Pala Empire emerged in the eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent during the eighth century, marking the beginning of a powerful dynasty that would shape the cultural and political landscape of Bengal and Bihar for nearly four centuries. The empire was established in a period of political fragmentation and instability following the decline of the earlier Gupta Empire and the subsequent rule of smaller, competing kingdoms. This power vacuum set the stage for the rise of a strong and centralized authority under the leadership of Gopala, the first ruler of the Pala dynasty. 
  Gopala's ascent to power is believed to have been unique for the time, as he was reportedly chosen by local chieftains and influential figures through a process of election, rather than simply inheriting his position through lineage. This suggests that his leadership was recognized as a unifying force in a region that had suffered from prolonged disorder and internal conflicts. Once in power, Gopala took significant steps to stabilize his realm, laying the foundation for what would become one of the most enduring dynasties in Indian history. He consolidated his rule over Bengal and expanded his influence into neighboring territories, establishing control over strategic trade routes and fertile agricultural lands that contributed to the empire’s prosperity. 
  Gopala’s son, Dharmapala, proved to be an even more ambitious ruler. Under his leadership, the Pala Empire reached its zenith, with its influence stretching far beyond Bengal into northern and central India. Dharmapala was not only a military leader but also a great patron of Buddhism, playing a crucial role in the expansion of Buddhist institutions, including the famed Nalanda University. His military campaigns brought him into direct conflict with two of the other major powers of the time, the Gurjara-Pratiharas and the Rashtrakutas.

  A CLOCKWORK ORANGE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STANLEY KUBRICK 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess's novel. Set in a near-future society, it follows Alex DeLarge, a sadistic delinquent who leads a gang of criminals. The film explores themes of violence, free will, and social control, as Alex and his gang engage in brutal acts of "ultraviolence." After being caught, Alex undergoes an experimental treatment to "rehabilitate" him, stripping away his ability to choose between good and evil. Kubrick uses stark visuals, classical music, and dark humor to critique authoritarianism, behavioral conditioning, and the loss of individuality. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Malcolm McDowell's eyes were anesthetized for the torture scenes so that he could film for extended periods without excessive discomfort. Despite this, his corneas were repeatedly scratched by the metal lid locks.” 
    
  “Stanley Kubrick's first cut of the film, before editing by several assistants, was nearly four hours long.” 
    
  “The doctor overseeing Alex during the violent film scenes was a real doctor, ensuring that Malcolm McDowell’s eyes did not dry out during filming.” 
    
  “The sped-up sex scene in the movie was originally filmed as a continuous take that lasted 28 minutes. This was revealed by Malcolm McDowell on the 2007 DVD commentary track.” 
    
  “Stanley Kubrick had his assistant destroy all unused footage after shooting wrapped on the film.”
