(1976-82) External LinksWebsiteProduction website Monster-quest (sometimes written as Monsterquest or Monster quest) is an American television series that originally aired from October 31, 2007 to March 24, 2010 on the History Channel. Produced by Whitewolf Entertainment, the program is searching for various monsters of interest to the cryptozoology subculture and paranormal individuals reportedly witnessed around the world. The spin-off show, Mystery-quest, which focuses on unsolved mysteries, premiered on September 16, 2009. The purpose of the show is best described by the narrator, Stan Bernard, in the introduction: Witnesses (People for Season 4) around the world report seeing monsters. Are they real or imaginary? Science is looking for answers... MonsterQuest. The reception of Rich Rosell of Digitally Obsessed gave the show a B-, stating: The good news is that it's not a crappy reality show, wanting to make everything bloated and sinister. Instead, it takes a seemingly well-researched approach, leaving viewers the opportunity to make their own mind. He also believes that the content is definitely nerd-worthy in a I Want to Believe/Mulder kind of way. Cinematic Events in The Development (CHUD) gave the show a 5.9/10 review, stating that the show is basically a paraphrase of the 1970s/1980s TV show, in search of ... and it leaves you feeling like either being there, did it or just feeling incomplete, because it basically raises as many questions as it tries to answer. Diablo Cody praised the show in the October 24, 2008 issue of Entertainment Weekly. She says: I found a minotaur in that maze suck: MonsterQuest ... on the history channel. Cancellation In a statement made on March 24, 2010 on crypto-ophzoological blog CryptoMundo, Monster'quest producer Doug Hajicek announced that The History Channel had canceled the series midway through Season 4. Hadjicek said: The official end of the Monster quest does not happen due to lack of themes or lack of spectators. The network decided to go in a different direction to secure its future as a powerful force on television.

A series of topics in this class show how archaeology is presented as unsubstantiated, occult, and speculative science about our prehistoric past. On the other hand, subjects like pyramids, cave paintings, human evolution, Stonehenge, the Maya, aliens, and popular legends fascinate people and motivate them to visit museum, archaeological sites, and also to buy archaeology books, giving archaeology a prominent place in our society and making it accessible to the general public. Inaptly the press and popular media exploit people’s interest to twist discoveries made by scientific archaeology. This course provides perspective on unsubstantiated claims made about the human past. A critical view of the popular culture and archaeology would hone critical thinking and logical reasoning, which are at the core of natural and social sciences.Students will recognize the importance of understanding the context of controversies concerning the archaeological past, and how real archaeology change misconceptions, idealizations, and fantasies related to historical events through scientific methods. Find out what archaeology really is! Objectives of the Course The student of this course will have a good: 1. Understanding of legends, myths, and frauds around archaeological topics.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Cover: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum 1
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Cover: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum 1 An enduring and vibrant memory Shoah survivor and Nobel prizewinner Elie Wiesel passed away on July 2, 2016 at the age of 87. Like Primo Levi and Imre Kertész, he was one of the most important advocates for the memory of the Shoah. Marked by his expe- rience in the camps and deeply imbued with the principles of Judaism, he was a leading moral figure of our time. Like the late Samuel Pisar, Elie Wiesel had been a member of the Board of Administration of the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah. Their commitment to transmitting the memory of Jewish cultures was a role model for us. Remembering the plight of exterminated Jews and promoting their culture today are the two essential principles that guide our initiatives. They are inseparable from our mission. The memory embodied by Elie Wiesel and Samuel Pisar, the memory that we defend, is not an endless and sterile rumination on the past—quite the oppo- site, it is instead alive and vibrant. It compels us to participate in struggles for human dignity and to fight against the scourge of indifference. Rather than seeking repentance, we aim to defend the truth against those who preach hate and deny genocide. The truth is the very foundation of our democracies, the basis for the dialogue on which they depend. It is also crucial to maintain a critical viewpoint by remembering the genocides that represent the deepest wounds that humanity has inflicted upon itself. Over and beyond the Shoah, the unique history of the Jewish people holds universal lessons.

    CLS Movie List # 1492 Revisited This documentary provides an alternative "indigenous" perspective on the quincentenary of Columbus's arrival. It features provocative artwork from the touring national exhibition Counter Colon-Ialismo as well as challenging commentary by artists and scholars. The film also raises important questions about the nature and construction of history. Paul Espinoza, 1992 Color: 28 min. A Adelante Mujeres (2 copies) This video spans over five centuries and focuses on the history of Mexican American women and Chicanas dating from the Spanish invasion to the present. Hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, art works, and contemporary footage pay tribute to the strength and resilience of women as the center of their families, activists in their communities, and contributors to American history. National Women's History Project, 1992 Color: 30 min. After the Earthquake Before the revolution and after the earthquake, a woman from Managua unexpectedly encounters her Nicaraguan fiancé in San Francisco. The film questions the pursuit of self-serving interests in the face of larger issues, in this case the Somoza regime, and integrates political concerns with a love story. National Women's History Project, 1992 Color: 30 min. Agitating for Change: The Alliance Schools Initiative Eight years ago, many schools in Texas, like this one, were plagued by gangs, truancy, and poor academic results. Teachers were ready to try something new. Enter Ernie Cortes—a community organizer who is also disturbed by seeing kids turned off at school. Cortes formed an Alliance Schools Initiative to shake up public schools in working-class districts. The Cortes strategy was to work with churches and community activists to break down old hierarchies, to excite and empower teachers, and to reconnect schools to their communities.
