From #DonaldTrump EO:
"“‘Female’ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell,”... “‘Male’ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.”
...All fetuses have phenotypically female genitalia until they reach six to seven weeks of gestation...
By describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized fetal personhood."

Offering colour at winter's end, it was believed that daffodils, camellias, wintersweet and Japanese apricots were at their most fragrant when it snowed.
Collectively known as the '4 Friends of the Snow', the 'setchū-no-shiyū' (雪中四友) were a particularly popular subject for Chinese painters.

Toward January's end guests are served 'rōbai' (蝋梅), named after the fragrant 'yellow wax plum' which blooms at this time of year. As the name suggests, the beehive-yellow blossoms look as if they have been carefully crafted from wax.
Known as wintersweet in English, rōbai were introduced to Japan from China in the 17thC.
They are not related to the Japanese plum.

There is no budget to this film. Yet with all the limitation, Dilman Dila makes a gripping, suspenseful, sci-fi story that would not be too far from the works of somebody like David Cronenberg, if Cronenberg didn't have money.

in reply to Alexander Karn • • •"Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing."
