So, the young lion do something to catch the visitors attention.
     "Lions ought not to behave like that!" the young lion said to himself, so he roared at all the visitors and tried to break the bars of the den.
     At three o'clock a man brought a big piece of meat and put it in the old lion's den. Then, he put a bag of nuts and two bananas in the young lion's den.
     The young lion was very surprised. "I don't understand this." he said to the old lion. "I behave like a real lion, while you lie there and do nothing and look what happens!" 
     The old lion answered. "Okay, i will behave like a real lion". After said that, the old lion roared loudly to the all visitors and run around the cage. It's make many people want to see what happens. The lion's cage was more crowded than before because of the old lion's roared.

"Of course I want to know that" said the young lion. "The truth is you don't have any teeth at your mouth, so they don't give you meat. If they give you meat, you will never can chew it" laugh the old lion.

One of Heck's work - Nomenus Quarterly


     Nomenus Quarterly began publication 2007 under Erik Madigan Heck, its founder and editor in chief. All works are specifically created for each edition or previously unpublished. Nomenus Quarterly appears online four times per year, and additionally in print as a series of limited-edition folios and books.

     Erik Madigan Heck was born at 1983. He is an American photographer, a U.S. correspondent for A Magazine, and the founder editor of Nomenus Quarterly. He is also the youngest person to photograph Neiman Marcus' prestigious "Art of Fashion" campaign, which he shot in 2012.

     In its April 2011 issue, Photo District News magazine named Heck one of the 30 “new and emerging photographers to watch.”
     Heck was born in Excelsior Minnesota. Heck was exposed to art and museums in Minneapolis from an early age by his parents and he began photographing at the age of 14. In 2002, as a senior in high school, Heck received the Alliance for Young Artist & WritersScholastic Art Awards Gold Medal for his work in photography.

     Name Nomenus Quaterly found by Heck when he would walk into his building everyday and see this little sign on the door that said "Nomenus." And he never got it. He thought someone had tagged the door. And then one day, like six months later, he realized that it was just "no menus," and there was no space between it. It had taken him that long to understand it, and he thought it was amazing that such little space made me unable to see its true meaning. He thought that was a pretty big symbol for what he wanted Nomenus to be as a publication or as this "thing." And it worked because 95% of people don't get it. They think it's Latin or something profound. And it's really just "no menus."

     Heck had been looking at magazines that existed in art and fashion and none of them really functioned the way he wanted a publication to function. None of them are really showcasing worthwhile art or fashion—they're just in a weird in-between place. So he wanted to cultivate very specific idea of aesthetics in art and fashion was, and what he felt was being missed or bypassed by the abundance of mainstream pop culture. He wanted to feature the important artists and designers—not necessarily the trendy new kids and he wanted you to see their work, not their faces...

THE HISTORY OF MAGAZINE


   A magazine is a periodical containing a variety of articles and generally illustrations of an entertaining, promotional, or an instructive nature. Magazines are designed to be of interest either to the general public or to groups of people with specialized interests. Journals and reviews are magazines that contain specialized subject matter. The essential difference between the magazine and the newspaper is a physical one. The magazine is small in size and is often bound in pamphlet form.

   Magazine history dates from the 17th century, when publishers began to issue catalogues of books. In 1665 the French Journal des Scavans, generally regarded as the first magazine, printed accounts of important European books and original articles on literature, science, and art. The Journal was widely imitated in France, Germany, England, and Italy. Russian periodicals developed more slowly because of frequent repression of the press.




The Gentleman's Magazine
   In 1704 the difference between newspapers and magazines widened considerably in England, when Daniel Defoe printed not only news in his Review but added a section concerning politics, literature, manners, and morals. Steele's Tattler and Addison and Steele's Spectator carried on by adding the informal essay to English literature. The first English periodical to call itself a magazine, The Gentleman's Magazine, was founded in 1731. It contained a record of publications, news, essays on interesting historical and biographical subjects, reports of the proceedings in Parliament and maps.



   The rapid transmission of news in the 20th century brought about the development of news magazines. Time appeared in 1923, while Newsweek appeared ten years later. These magazines, created to keep pace with a rapidly changing world, were joined by illustrated popular weeklies and semi-weeklies such as Life, Look, Paris-Match, and the Illustrated London News.



   Some magazines became international in scope. The Reader's Digest, published in seven languages, developed a world market for its contents. The Soviet monthly Sovietsky Soyuz sought an international readership by appearing in 17 languages. Other magazines achieving more than national popularity were The London Magazine, Paris Review, Realities, and Life.



   Today's magazines are numerous and are available on any given topic or subject matter. From the comical to the serious, to ladies interest to the gentleman's handyman corner, there is a magazine to fit every taste and interest. And, with the booming rate of Internet usage, magazines today are publishing their works online as well as in printed form.
