Refugee Housing: A New Life for Empty Prisons in the Netherlands | Via

Associated Press photographer Muhammed Muheisen has documented many of the men, women, and children displaced by unrest in the Middle East, and followed them as they made their way toward Europe. He often found himself wondering “What happens to migrants once they reach Europe?”, and heard about a program in the Netherlands where the government had started housing refugees in vacant prisons. Years of declining crime rates have left the Dutch government searching for ways to put its emptying prisons to good use, and as an influx of refugees reached the Netherlands, the former prisons have temporarily become their homes. Muheisen spent months trying to gain access to the prisons, then, once he was allowed in, he spent another 40 days visiting and photographing asylum seekers from dozens of countries inside these prisons, as they wait to find out what comes next for them.

A juvenile Bigg’s/transient killer whale just about to tail slap pretty close to our boat! T99B, T36A3, and T99C were all horsing around together when they cut towards our boat and dove under us (not because they were curious of us, but because that’s what playful young whales do sometimes). I was standing on the upper deck when this happened so I was able to capture this unique perspective of the fluke. #killerwhale #orca #blackfish #salishsea #nofishnoblackfish #keepitwild #oceanlife #wildlife_perfection #animalkingdom #govegan #nature_perfection #splendid_animals #nikon_photography_ #allnatureshots #whale #britishcolumbia http://ift.tt/1ToqUy5

I have no idea of what spurred the memory, but i remember hearing a kid older than me at summer camp on the piano and I was just mesmerized. I wanted him to play it over and over and I don’t think I had ever heard the original. Well, about 30 some years later, I thought to look it up.

I’m going to come out and say it… Eric Jacobus could very well be the new Jackie Chan.

If you haven’t seen the first "Rope-A-Dope" I recommend, nay demand, that you do as it’s as close to a perfect martial arts short film as you’re going to get. In the sequel, Jacobus steps it up a level. Improvised weapons, amazing direction, perfect choreography…he’s doing what Jackie did in the 80’s and doing it fantastically. I’m not a massive fan of all of Jacobus’ comic beats. I think sometimes it gets a little too silly, but it works here just as it did in the first “Rope-A-Dope.” How this dude hasn’t been handed the reins to feature length film, I don’t know. I would honestly say he’s up there with Donnie Yen as one of the single best modern choreographers working today.

Try this on for size. Any album by him on this label. Headphones, pre dawn walk. Trust me. You will have an experience beyond any other. This is not hyperbole.

Go caching listening to it - instant living in a sci-fi / fantasy / adventure film or video game. If you do, promise me you will write me and tell me about it.

See my two aforementioned posts for why this is significant. There is a thread that matters here.
