Samurai Photographs of the Nineteenth Century These Photographs were taken in the final days of the samurai class, before its abolition in 1867. It should be noted that some of these photographs date to the Meiji period. Many of these pictures were taken in the 1880's -therefore they show former samurai, or sometimes just ordinary people posing as samurai. NOTE: The last few pictures seen in this video show Tokugawa Yoshinobu, Japan's last Shogun and the famous reformer, Sakamoto Ryoma, who played a pivotal role in the modernisation of the country. We also see the new Police force(The seated uniformed man with the katana) as well as the last picture which displays the European military reformers and the westernized Japanese officers. Although these aren't samurai, they were added to show the revolutionary changes that were taking place in Japanese society at this time. Several of these Photographs were taken by the renowned photographer Felice Beato and his pupil, Raimund von Stillfried.

Being a Leftist in the 21st Century The 2007 Left Forum came to a close Sunday in New York City. Each spring the Forum convenes the largest gathering in North America of the international Left. With close to one hundred panels and three major cultural events, the Left Forum brings together organizers and intellectuals from across the globe to share ideas. One of those who spoke was professor, culture critic, and social justice advocate Cornel West. He has been described as one of America's most vital and eloquent public intellectuals. A professor of religion and African-American studies at Princeton University, West has written and co-authored numerous books on philosophy, race and sociology. His most recent book is "Democracy Matters: Winning the Fight Against Imperialism."

Rifles of the 21st Century: Colt/FN/HK (USA/Bel/Ger) The Rifle of the 21st Century? There are far more expensive weapons in the Pentagon's budget than rifles, but none more important to tens of thousands of troops doing the fighting in Iraq and Afganistan. For well over a decade, the military has relied on one company, Colt Defense of Hartford, Conn., to make the M4 Carbines that soldiers trust with their lives in combat. Now, as Congress considers spending millions of more dollars on the weapons, this exclusive arrangement is being sharply criticised as a bad deal for American forces and U.S. taxpayers.
