People From Vordingborg Municipality
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

House Of Fools (film)
''House of Fools'' (, ''Dom durakov'') is a 2002 Russian film by Andrei Konchalovsky about psychiatric patients and combatants during the First Chechen War. It stars Julia Vysotskaya and Sultan Islamov and features a number of cameo appearances by Bryan Adams, with the music composed by Eduard Artemyev. Distinctly anti-war and controversial in Russia, ''House of Fools'' is a bizarre blend of black comedy, touching drama, horrific warfare and subtly disturbing psychological content. The film was screened in the competition at the 59th Venice International Film Festival and won Grand Special Jury Prize and UNICEF Award and was also selected as the Russian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 77th Academy Awards, but it didn't make the final shortlist. Plot At a psychiatric hospital in the Russian republic of Ingushetia on the border with war-torn republic of Chechnya in 1996, medical staff is vanishing to apparently find help as the patients are left to their own end ...

He produced Lou Reed's ''Berlin'' album (a top 5 album of mine), and I think he added some of that magic dust to A and E." The album cover, designed by Hipgnosis artist Storm Thorgerson, features naked people in rows of boxes. ''The A.V. Club'' named the cover one of the hardest to look at, while ''Gigwise'' named it one of the 50 sexiest album covers. Reception Response from m ...
