The protagonist in Michangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up starts making blowups of his photos, pushing the film to it’s grain, examining the blow-ups with a magnifying glass looking for something that may or may not be there.
In a era before ketuanan, this Indian, K. Thanabalasingham served under Tunku, Tun Razak and Hussein Onn (through The Confrontation with Indonesia and May 13th) as the helmsman of the Malaysian Navy.

Speaking about TPPA, USA, China, conquest, trade and the confrontation brewing in the South China Sea in 2013.
China will assume a significant financial market role by purchasing Malaysian treasury bonds and China General Nuclear Power Corp (CGN Group) will purchase shares worth RM9.83 billion in 1MDB power assets.

lax U’u’la or Lelu Island is within the ancestral territory of the Gitwilgyoots tribe (people of the place of kelp) of the coastal Tsm’syen people. They are lead by Sm’oygyet (hereditary chief) Yahaan and Likagyigyet (house leader) Gwis Hawaal (of the laxgibuu/wolf house), who claim inherited title over this region. They assert that these island properties, and rights to use and defend them have accompanied the Sm’alygyax names Yahaan and Gwis Hawaal for many generations, and will continue to do so when the names are passed on.
