Although Americans may have largely forgotten about Georges Méliès, every moviegoer owes this French motion picture pioneer an immense debt of gratitude. Along with a handful of other film forerunners – including the Lumiere Brothers (for whom a cinema in Beverly Hills is named after), Thomas Edison, Edwin S. Porter, D.W. Griffith (whose creative contribution to the cinematic syntax and art form was as great as his despicable, rancid racism was odiously egregious), etc. – Méliès tremendously enriched the nascent silver screen’s aesthetic and experience. French composer Jean-François Alcoléa and two other musicians are doing film lovers a fabulous service by reviving 11 Méliès shorts set to a scintillating score that is arguably as aurally inventive as Méliès’ original silent films were visually innovative, with the trio’s delightful program Right in the Eye, Live Movie-Concert of George Méliès Films.

Single Payer Action Network (SPAN) Ohio and Health Care for All Ohioans are collecting compelling stories to highlight the many struggles that people face when dealing with the American healthcare system.

We will be videotaping people's stories at the Health Care for All Ohioans/SPAN Ohio Annual Conference on April 27th, in Columbus, at the Quest Conference Center on Pulsar Road. If you cannot make that date, and your video is selected for this initial effort, we can make arrangements for a video production in Worthington, Ohio, if possible, prior to mid-May.

City of Columbus officials are now doing what they should have done in early 2023 to prevent their repeated blunders and resulting harms concerning the Greyhound/Barons bus depot on North Wilson Road.

A March 1, 2024 email from city attorney Section Chief Steve Dunbar states: “Next week’s Greyhound hearing is being continued. City, Barons and Greyhound are doing a search for alternative sites. I’ll let you know as soon as we get a new date. It will be about sixty days out.”

If a new trial date is not set for another two months, it will be nearly a year that this bus terminal disaster began to play out.  

Barons officials had reached out to city officials requesting assistance in early 2023 to find a new location for their bus terminal after they could not come to terms with COTA on renewing their lease at the West Spring Street COTA location. The city refused to help Barons find a suitable location.

Small mammals called fishers have reappeared in Ohio after being chased from the state by 19th-century hunters. The return of the fishers clears up an old mystery in Ohio archaeology.

One of the most spectacular ancient earthworks in Ohio is the animal effigy in Granville, west of Newark, which was ignominiously named “Alligator Mound” for reasons that remain mysterious and hilarious. Obviously, there were no alligators in ancient Ohio. My theory is that some young white child told her or his daddy that the mound looked like an alligator, the name stuck, and this became alligator baggage that the archaeological authorities still carry.

 “Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course.” Excerpt from the Hippocratic Oath, which forbids physicians from administering poisons to patients.

In a conversation in 2020 with Princeton Professor Emeritus, Richard Falk, he told me that historically, colonized nations that have won the legitimacy war have always won their freedom. 

 Palestine is unlikely to be the exception. The Gaza war, however, is confronting the world with an unprecedented challenge, specifically to governments’ relationship with international law, their obligations to international institutions, such as the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and others.
