There's a lot to be said about bands that have diversity in their music. They are artists that feed off of one another's creativity, and bring out the best in each other. That can be said of The Crushing Violets. You can hear it in every note of their album, "Ghost Fields".
Formed in 2014 in Mattituck, New York by BP and Antanina Brooks. Quickly, their vision became a reality, fusing Rock with energetic melodies, along with lyrics that are both magical and mystical. It's a place where Rock music meets Americana, Folk music meets bands like Ten Years After, and Psychedelic music of the late sixties, early seventies like Jefferson Airplane meets the "Even Flow" era of Pearl Jam.
Their album "Ghost Fields" is a haunting masterpiece, and a collection of eight diverse and yet defining songs. The cover of the album illicits the journey you are about to take upon the albums first listen. I hear so many influences in The Crushing Violets music, even though they are on an ethereal plane all their own. This is evident upon listening to songs like "Strange Voices" and "The Raft".
"Black Mountain" reminds me so much of the Stone Temple Pilots, in a way, and just has that vibe about it. I love this song! Next up on my favorites list is "Without A Name". Antanina's voice truly shines on this song. Both she and BP pour out their hearts and souls on every song on the album. I have to mention the awesome slide guitar work and guitar solo on the album opener, "Bare Trees". Simply amazing!
Both musically, and lyrically, "Ghost Fields", has it all. It can be dark and brooding, but yet filled with love, light, and peace. Very poetic in nature throughout. That very aspect is heard on album closer, "That's My Desire". A fitting way to end a wonderful album. If you haven't heard The Crushing Violets "Ghost Fields", you need to! Congrats to the band on a stellar release!

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Film)
Release Date: September 30th, 2016
Rating: PG-13
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Chris O'Dowd, Allison Janney, Rupert Everett, Terence Stamp, Ella Purnell, Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson.
Director Tim Burton has a distinct style and aesthetic that is recognizable to filmgoers, and it has never been more obvious than in his newest film and adaptation, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Based on the hit book series of the same name (review here), Burton touches on all of his favorites, including sickly waifs with dark shadows under their eyes (two of them this time!), a crazy-hair, crazy-eyed leading actress, disturbing scenes, and excessive use of CGI. In a way, Miss Peregrine's is the perfect film for Burton. The book gives a cohesive storyline that's ripe for adaptation in his trademark style. Plus, it's a book about vision, as photographs are a recurring motif throughout the narrative. Burton seems to miss this however, and what we receive in turn is a mess. A visually stunning mess, sure, but a mess all the same.
For the first half of the film, the story doesn't stray far from the book. Jacob Portman (played by Asa Butterfield and called "Jake" throughout the movie, as opposed to his full name in the book) is working a crappy job in one of the stores his family owns. He has absolutely no friends, (probably because he goes by Jake instead of the much better Jacob) and he adores his grandfather, who used to tell him stories of the fantastic orphanage where he spent his youth. Unfortunately, his grandfather (played by the always great Terence Stamp) is killed in the woods by a hideous monster who has plucked out his eyes. With his dying words, he tells Jake to find "The Bird" in "The Loop." Jake freaks out and his parents send him to psychiatrist Dr. Golan (Allison Janney, not playing a mother for once), who suggests that Jake follow his grandfather's dying directions. Together, Jake and his father make their way to the Welsh island of Cairnholm, and while Jake's father (played bogglingly by Chris O'Dowd... seriously what is he doing here?) is off watching birds, Jake searches for the old mansion that his grandfather spoke of. There he meets a troupe of "peculiar" children and their headmistress, Miss Peregrine. Hilarity ensues.
It's actually surprising how much of the first half of the movie follows the book. Tim Burton and writer Jane Goldman add details ripped straight from the novel. Then the second half happens, and the entire book is thrown out the window. I wouldn't have an issue with this usually: adaptations are limited in what they can do, and there's no reason to follow a book beat-by-beat. What makes this an issue is the fact that the film doesn't make any damn sense. There's a thoughtful, laid-out opening, and then mountains of exposition and a ridiculous conflict that I had trouble taking seriously. The ending is like an entirely different story.
One of the major changes is the addition of Samuel L. Jackson's head villain Barron, the leader of the wights (former peculiars who were turned into monsters and back into a humans by eating other peculiar's eyeballs). Jackson is having a hell of a good time here. Every moment he's on screen is a delight, and he skulks about looking sinister, cracking jokes, and otherwise chewing scenery (as well as eyeballs). Barron leads the other wights and their invisible slender-man monsters called hollows against the children, hoping to capture Miss Peregrine so they can use her and others like her to power a machine that will let them live forever.
Despite how fun it is to watch Jackson on screen, his casting shows one of the major issues with the film: great actors in mediocre roles. There's only so much they can do with the parts they're given, and they can't go too far or else it would disturb the film's aesthetic. Samuel L. Jackson steals the show, but his capering actually detracts from his part's inherent menace. Eva Green is amazing as usual, even if she doesn't get a lot to do but stare intensely and drop exposition. Asa Butterfield and the other peculiar children are not awful actors, but there's nothing remarkable about them. And again, I don't know what Chris O'Dowd is doing here, and for that matter, Rupert Everett and Dame Judi Dench (Dench in particularly is wasted here).
The exposition is plentiful and tedious. There's a lot going on this movie. We need to learn about "peculiars," loops, wights, hollows, general time travel, and evil schemes for immortality while also balancing hidden destiny and love story subplots. Because of this there's no time to really get into anything substantial (which is odd for a film that relies so much on time travel). One of the best scenes in the book was the father explaining that they had suspected Jake's grandfather of having affairs on his frequent "business trips." It's a great scene because it shows the father's pain from the grandfather's neglect, and it hurts Jake to see the flaws in someone he loves. It hurts Jake's father to say this, and he has to go through three beers before he even brings it up. In the film? He tells it to him idly as they're going through the grandfather's belongings. Where's the emotion? Where's the pacing?
It should be a fun film to watch at least, and the movie does succeed with some striking images and scenery. But even Miss Peregrine's visuals become a chore as the CGI gets ramped up during the ending scene. There's an extensive battle on a boardwalk carnival and what looks like a circus across the street, which is a full-on "superhero team" segment that doesn't seem to fit the theme of the original story. This leads to a remarkably confusing time-travel situation that leads to some pretty awful plot changes and poor story telling. If you're going to see it I won't spoil it, but it involves the grandfather.
Overall this is not a quality film. I'm not even sure if fans of the book series will enjoy this, especially considering the wild departures it takes from the original story. The time traveling becomes unbearably confusing, the characters are not enjoyable or engaging, and nothing particularly stands out. I don't recommend wasting your money on this one in theaters unless you're a super-fan of the books. If you're just curious, I'd wait until it's available on streaming or Redbox. Otherwise, leave this peculiarity alone.

|Service Manual
Toyota first introduced the iQ as a concept city car at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. Toyota later revealed the production version at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. with Japanese sales beginning in October 2008 and UK sales in January 2009.
Initially designed at Toyota Europe Design Development (Toyota ED2), [1] Toyota's design studio in Nice, France, Toyota claims the IQ is the world's smallest four-seat car[2] — though by all accounts one of those four passengers must in fact be a small child.[3][4]
The name iQ, an initialism of the term intelligence quotient, recalls a competitor, the Smart Fortwo.
The design emphasizes low fuel consumption, maneuverability, environmental friendliness, and maximized interior space. Six specific design factors contribute to IQ's minimal overhangs, forward windscreen location, maximized cabin space and overall compactness. These include a flat under-floor fuel tank, a newly developed differential, radically angled rear suspension dampers, a centre take-off steering gear (positioned higher in the engine bay), an asymmetrical dashboard and a significantly miniaturized heater/air conditioning unit.
The iQ includes nine airbags[2], including a rear window air bag to protect backseat passengers from rear end collisons[5]. A panoramic glass sunroof featured on the concept version of the IQ, has not been included on the production model.[6] The iQ has been designed to meet Euro NCAP's top five-star safety rating.
In Europe, Toyota will offer the iQ with two petrol engines and one diesel. CO2 emissions for the 1L 5spd are 99g/km, making it Road tax free in the UK. It has a 3.9 m (13 ft) turning radius. It has a similar engine to Aygo, a 997cc rather than 998 cc 3 cylinder due to a slightly shorter stroke, 67 bhp (50 kW; 68 PS), 67 lb·ft (91 N·m) at 4800 rpm. 0-100 km/h 14.1 seconds.[7] The iQ achieves 65.69 Imperial mpg (4.30 l/100km) by European standards.[8]
Reports suggest the iQ may be the first model in a series,[9] and that Toyota may export the iQ to the North American market as a Scion. [10] Reports from Toyota engineers suggest the iQ platform will serve as the basis of the next generation Toyota Yaris as well as a possible subcompact hybrid car, to challenge the CY 2009 Honda Insight[11] Competitors include the Fiat 500, Subaru R1 and Smart ForTwo.

The possible existence of a specific pharmacological antidepressant effect has become one of the major controversies in current medicine.Researchers are anticipating that a new "mega-analysis" shall end the ongoing controversy regarding antidepressants including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), being effective for depression or not.Previous research suggested that antidepressants' superiority is "merely a psychological consequence of the side effects of the drugs enhancing the expectation of improvement.But in recent study ,the review of 15 studies, with more than 3300 patients, showed that compared with those who received placebo, participants without early adverse events (AEs) who received either of the SSRIs citalopram (multiple brands) or paroxetine (multiple brands) had significantly greater reductions in symptoms, as assessed with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) depressed mood item.
E Eriksson et al conducted a placebo-controlled trials of citalopram or paroxetine in adult major depression that used the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and included a week 6 symptom assessment (n=15). The primary analyses, which compared completers on active treatment without early adverse events to completers on placebo (with or without adverse events) with respect to reduction in the HDRS depressed mood item showed larger symptom reduction in patients given active treatment, the effect sizes being 0.48 for citalopram and 0.33 for paroxetine. In actively treated subjects reporting early adverse events, who also outperformed those given placebo, the severity of the adverse events did not predict response. Several sensitivity analyses, for example, including (i) those using change of the sum of all HDRS-17 items as effect parameter, (ii) those excluding all subjects with adverse events (that is, also those on placebo) and (iii) those based on the intention-to-treat population, were all in line with the primary analyses.
It was found that both paroxetine and citalopram are clearly superior to placebo also when not producing adverse events, as well as the lack of association between adverse event severity and response, argue against the theory that antidepressants outperform placebo solely or largely because of their side effects.
It was concluded that that the placebo-breaking-the-blind theory has come to influence the current view on the efficacy of antidepressants to a greater extent than can be justified by available data.
Principal investigator Elias Eriksson PhD, professor of pharmacology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden while speaking to Medscape Medical News rebutted the side-effects theory and said that the number one takeaway message for clinicians? "It's that SSRIs work. They may not work for every patient, but they work for most patients. And it's a pity if their use is discouraged because of newspaper reports," he said.

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Stuffed Oreos
Oreos are probably in my top ten favorite cookies, no, desserts, no, foods of all time. So when I saw Peanut Butter Oreos, I knew I had to have them. And I had to make them better. Chocolate covering them always does the trick but what else… stuffing them peanut butter cookie dough! Que the big, scary excited grin!
This is a super easy way to make quite a decadent treat. Side note, how do you feel about the word "decadent"? Some people hate it. I'm okay with it personally. Just don't say anything is "moist". Gross.
So you start out by making your peanut butter cookie dough. My recipe is really just thick peanut butter buttercream that I added in some cut up Reese's Minis into to add a little texture. It is soooo good.
Then you take apart your Oreos. Not a single one of mine came apart cleanly so I used my handy little spatula to take off the bit that didn't stay on the cream side and smooth it back on.
Then you just roll out teaspoon size cookie dough balls and smoosh them onto your cookie.
Dip 'em in some melted chocolate and voila! Oh, you can also add a little peanut butter drizzle to make it a little snazzier too. Give it the old razzle-dazzle!
Oh man, looks like one of those earth cut aways where you see all the layers. Tasty, tasty layers.
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup peanut butter
1.5 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1-3 tbs milk
1/2 cup Reese's Minis, chopped
Peanut Butter Oreos
16 ounces chocolate
1/4 cup peanut butter chips, optional
1 tsp coconut oil
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and peanut butter. Once incorporated add in powdered sugar. It will be thick. Add in vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk. Mix, if still too thick, add in more milk, little by little. If you make it too thin, you can always add more powdered sugar. You want it to be cookie dough consistency, obviously. Stir in chopped Reese's Minis.
Separate Oreos so that cream is on one side. Roll out cookie dough into teaspoon size balls and place on the non-cream Oreo half. Smoosh down and place together with cream half.
Melt chocolate per instructions, dip stuffed Oreos into chocolate and place on parchment or wax paper. Once hardened, heat peanut butter chips in a microwave safe bowl. I found that they didn't seem to melt, so once heated, add in coconut oil and mix until liquid. Place in a piping bag fitted with a #2 tip and drizzle over the chocolate covered Oreos.

VG247's reporting that the PC version of Assassin's Creed has now slipped from March to April, and that a new set of "average specs" have been released by Ubisoft.
"Any dual-core machine running at 2.2GHz and over with a decent graphic card (such as a ATi HD2600 or a NVidia 8600) will give great performances," said Beauchemin. "Our minimum requirement is a Pentium D 2.4GHz or a AMD X2 Athlon 3800+, equipped with a Shader Model 3.0 card (ATi X1300 and better, NVidia 6600 and better)."
Bit more realistic specs than the earlier released "rumour" specs. Its a port of a console game so obviously the hardware demands shouldnt be to high.
Wow, we are actually starting to see dual-core machines as a requirement. I thought it would be a while longer before this happened, but it is good that it did. Pentium Ds aren't exactly brand new processors anyway. Almost time to retire my Northwood P4 I guess.
well considering this games leaked anyway, if you guys want to be illegal (Which I am NOT). go download it, the real reason for the delay is that you can't compleat the game, one of the maps codings messed up and the game crashes.

Recently i heard this statement " I would die for u". Well not just me, am sure everybody has heard this is various movies and some probably in their real lives too. Well just a thought struck me when i heard it this time..not that i am hearing it for the first time, but somehow i was wondering what this statement could mean...
In a relationship.. when you say "i would die for u" what do you mean? Is it that if u get rejected, you would die for her/him? Or you would die for her to protect her?
There is big differance between the two types.Dying for someone you care about.. is driven by a sense of protection and is a trait to be appreciated since it has benefits for the survival of the species.killing oneself because of being deprived of someone's love is driven by a selfish sense of want, and is a trait that just tends to darwinianly reduce the gene pool

Lacustrine microporous micrites of the Madrid Basin (Late Miocene, Spain) as analogues for shallow-marine carbonates of the Mishrif reservoir Formation (Cenomanian to Early Turonian, Middle East)
Volery, Chadia ; Davaud, Eric ; Foubert, Anneleen ; Caline, Bruno
In: Facies, 2010, vol. 56, no. 3, p. 385-397Add to personal list
- Summary
- Shallow-marine microporous limestones account for many carbonate reservoirs. Their formation, however, remains poorly understood. Due to the lack of recent appropriate marine analogues, this study uses a lacustrine counterpart to examine the diagenetic processes controlling the development of intercrystalline microporosity. Late Miocene lacustrine microporous micrites of the Madrid Basin (Spain) have a similar matrix microfabric as Cenomanian to Early Turonian shallow-marine carbonates of the Mishrif reservoir Formation (Middle East). The primary mineralogy of the precursor mud partly explains this resemblance: low-Mg calcites were the main carbonate precipitates in the Cretaceous seawater and in Late Miocene freshwater lakes of the Madrid Basin. Based on hardness and petrophysical properties, two main facies were identified in the lacustrine limestones: a tight facies and a microporous facies. The tight facies evidences strong compaction, whereas the microporous facies does not. The petrotexture, the sedimentological content, and the mineralogical and chemical compositions are identical in both facies. The only difference lies in the presence of calcite overgrowths: they are pervasive in microporous limestones, but almost absent in tight carbonates. Early diagenetic transformations of the sediment inside a fluctuating meteoric phreatic lens are the best explanation for calcite overgrowths precipitation. Inside the lens, the dissolution of the smallest crystals in favor of overgrowths on the largest ones rigidifies the sediment and prevents compaction, while partly preserving the primary microporous network. Two factors appear essential in the genesis of microporous micrites: a precursor mud mostly composed of low-Mg calcite crystals and an early diagenesis rigidifying the microcrystalline framework prior to burial

Today I want to talk about an incredible article which was sent to me after a feisty discussion about whether or not women could have it all, all at once – and whether it was ok not to want it all anymore.
A young graduate, a bride-to-be and a mother of two all faced with the realisation that great schooling, opportunities to travel the world, understanding partners and the fire of ambition weren't always quite enough to get you to the top – or even to keep you in the rat race. That the minute your life changed enough that you started to want to have children, the fast train you'd been on all your life suddenly seemed to be moving a little too fast. That for all that we had been given, we weren't equipped to deal with potential failure, or the idea of giving up – yet the years of studying and late nights in the office did seem a bit moot if you were going to have to jump off the bandwagon to be able to – err, have the children. The young graduate did not quite want to give up the romantic idea that she, through more hard work and naked ambition than her older sisters, was actually going to make it. The bride-to-be (me!), was stuck between her fading naked ambition and the seemingly obvious truth that wherever she was going these days, infants seemed to just be staring at her. The mother of two had had both the naked ambition and the children – and could only regret that in the face of your younger's son burning fever, there just wasn't much of a choice. You're not much of a mother if you don't skip that meeting.
I, for one, have spent a great deal of the past few months in a constant state of frustration over the fact that I just couldn't seem to reconcile what I used to call the "old" me (the really, really driven one), with that new part of me that didn't use to bother me as much before – the part of me that now wants more balance, a healthier lifestyle, and time for other people than myself (which, surprisingly, also translates into more time for myself). The part of me that wants the ability to want children without the guilt that I am letting the sisterhood down, and walking all over the chances I've been given. The part of me that just will not let me invest the kind of time you need to invest into a job if you want to make partner before 30.
Anne-Marie Slaughter, a professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton University, a mother who admits she struggled like any other and a woman of power, writes a bold, beautiful, and inspiring essay about why she thinks society still has a number of hurdles to overcome before women can, truly, have it all. Why the ambition of those women who choose to take some time off to see (and help) their children grow up is not necessarily "substandard", nor do those women with an "unswerving commitment to the feminist cause" necessarily deserve a medal. She argues that, in order to ensure more and more women reach positions of power and don't give up before they have even tried, older women need to first of all stop lying to their younger selves: success is indeed about ambition and hard work, and yes – it does partly depend on whether you have a supportive partner; but it is also and primarily about the context in which you are able to consider your options. For most women, choosing between a career and taking care of her children is simply not a choice. For them to be able to even consider that choice, the environment in which they work needs to be supportive of it. Mentalities (of men, of women) must evolve so that choice, in itself, is not considered a mere lack of ambition or commitment – but on the contrary is seen for what it is: a selfless, exhausting and worthy goal, and in fact more value-generating for society that choosing to invest the same amount of time in training for your next marathon…
Having it all should not be a matter of doing career, children and then career again, all in the right sequence and praying that the fertility Gods stay on your side and work with your agenda. It should be being able to do all of it, with varying degrees of intensity, when it feels right to do so.
For this to be possible, Anne-Marie Slaughter proposes simple solutions, sometimes so obvious that we do wonder why it isn't easier for corporates to take them onboard – especially when plenty of research now shows that work places that favour flexible working hours (which doesn't mean reduced working hours), work-life balance and out-of-the-workplace creativity do perform better than high-hierarchy, rigid, conventional ones. She suggests that a society where family values and the pursuit of balance and happiness would be given more weight might be better at integrating women, and that this isn't only a women's issue. It's an everyone issue. We need a world in which women are allowed to be women, with their flaws and merits…
a world in which, in Lisa Jackson's words, "to be a strong woman, you don't have to give up on the things that define you as a woman."
I still want a career. In fact, I think I still want several careers, as I think one life simply won't do. Here's to naked ambition. But right now, I just want to be in the right state of mind (and I want my health to be where it needs to be) so I can bring children into this world, and do the only thing that I will be asked to do, alongside their (sure to be fantastic) dad: be there when they need their mother.
Anne-Marie Slaughter is the mother of two teenage boys. She served as the director of policy planning at the State Department from 2009 to 2011.

AN INCREASING percentage of contractors own notebook computers, either as travel companions or as desktop substitutes. When shopping, look for features that can help streamline your day.
The IBM ThinkPad A30 (prices range from $1,499 to $3,099, www.ibm.com; 888/746-7426) comes well equipped for a contractor both in the office and on the go. The newly designed notebook features two modular bays (with various options that allow the buyer to customize the notebook); integrated wireless capabilities, including 802.11b (requiring wireless LAN) and Bluetooth wireless; eight shortcut Web navigation keys; the IBM Embedded Security Subsystem for safeguarding data and communications; and an enhanced, high-resolution FlexView display.
An integrated keyboard light allows users to work in low-light conditions. Docking options include a ThinkPad Port Replicator for easy cable management, and a ThinkPad Dock, which aids simple desktop expansion.
The model we worked with was the ThinkPad A30p, positioned as a desktop equivalent and an apt choice for a contractor who wants one computer that can do it all.
On the unit we tried, configured as suitable for a contractor, the modular bay on the right could hold either a separate accessory numeric keypad or a floppy drive.
The left bay held a CD-RW/DVD drive, though other devices, including a SuperDisk or a Zip drive for storage, could have been substituted. The unit came with a 1.2 GHz Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor-M and 512KB Level 2 cache, 256MB of RAM (128MB is standard; 1GB PC 133 SDRAM is maximum), Windows XP Professional and a host of IBM preloaded software.
The operating system and application software that come preloaded are secure on the service partition of the hard drive. The software can be reinstalled to original configuration as many times as needed.
The numeric keyboard, with keys laid out like a full-size desktop keyboard, slides out for use. Working with this calculator-style configuration is faster and may be more accurate than working with numbers keys across the top of the notebook keyboard.
The 802.11b facility allows users to go online without a wire to the computer, as long as you have a high-speed wireless connection on the premises within range. The A30p also comes equipped with RJ-11 and RJ-45 ports (standard telephone and Ethernet data ports, respectively), and an S-video in-and-out port that enables connection to a video camera.
The ThinkPad Web navigation keys include: Mail (for opening mail application or mail Web site); Home Page; Search (for opening file or Web search); Favorites (for opening list of favorites or bookmarks); Reload (of the current Web page); and Stop (which stops loading the current Web page). And when you are not using the Web, some of those navigation keys provide similar functionality in applications other than the browser.
The embedded security subsystem, when used with appropriate third-party software, automatically encrypts user keys, files and e-mails, helping protect data from intrusion over wireless and wired networks.
The 1600x1200 15-in. FlexView display is a TFT (thin film transistor) flat panel display screen.
Excellent screen clarity and brightness should be high on your list of priorities. (The A30p screen image was bright and sharp.) Not only is it easier to view what's on screen, but it also could reduce neck and shoulder strain.
When you buy a notebook computer, typically you have the option of picking one of several native resolutions. The native resolution is the resolution at which the graphic card/ chipset is set, which is reflected in the size and clarity of the images on the screen. Even though you can change those resolutions away from default, these resolutions will not be as sharp as if you had selected that resolution in the first place. You need to make a good decision in the computer store.
At the native resolution, the icons are at their sharpest and the colors at their most brilliant. Any deviation from that results in icons getting fuzzy and colors less brilliant. Even though advanced graphics cards, such as the one in the A30p, will scale the image to fit the physical area of the flat panel display, a scaled image will never look as clear and sharp as the image generated at native resolution.
The screen has a 170û viewing angle, which is made possible through the FlexView display, using "In-Plane Switching" display technology.
In the ThinkPad A30p with a 15-in. screen, resolution choices are 1600x1200 pixels (showing more of the document, graphic or Web site page; suitable for large spreadsheets); 1280x1024 pixels, 1024x768 pixels and 800x600 pixels (which gives the largest size text or graphics on the screen, but showing less, overall, of the document or image).

Family portraits with a twist
My approach is to offer high quality, professional family photography with a contemporary twist.
While the digital age has revolutionised our lives and filled our phones with thousands of pictures, it has come at the cost of high quality traditional photography. We all have phones and computers overloaded with photos. But how many of these would we actually print and hang on our walls?
Sadly, not that many.
I passionately believe in the long-lasting pleasure of walking past a cherished photograph every day. This is why I created My Sweet Family Photo.
My Sweet Family Photo aims at twisting the traditional genre of family portraits by adding fun and eccentricity to your photographs.
I believe the experience itself should be enjoyable. Yes, I have to admit that I tend to use accessories, ask kids to jump and make them throw objects around!
But most importantly, photos should be telling a real story, your singular story. This is why we will work together to prepare scenarios reflecting the true personality of your family.
We will start with an initial consultation (either in person or on the phone) and an extensive questionnaire that will allow me to get a glimpse at what you like to do (or not to do!) together, why you got these nicknames, how you perceive each other... Based on this, I will propose several "scenes" or "scenarios" that we could create. We will design these together.
The session can then take place in my studio, in your own home or a location of your choosing.
Each portrait will therefore be tailor-made to reflect your family personality. This creates natural-looking photos that tell a unique, fun story about you and your loved ones.
Finally, after a viewing session of the files (this can be done on Skype), you will receive the actual print of the photos you will have selected on archive quality paper.
My name is Gregoire Bielle. I am French and have been living in London with my family for over 10 years.
I have always been passionate about photography. I remember printing pictures myself in my grandfather's lab and the joy of watching a cherished moment come to life on photographic paper.
I love the magic of cameras: capturing these moments is as if I were carving them in precious stone and placing them in a treasury chest.
Treasures, this is what family photographies should be. But that only happens when they actually tell a story. And family portraits can often feel standardised and lack creativity or soul.
This is why I wanted to design a unique experience with real scenarios built around your own family. We all have stories to tell and with the help of high-end equipment, we will capture moments that are true to you, and that you will want to keep in your own treasure chest (or hang on the wall!)

A court in Brazil on Thursday blocked 19.5 million reais ($6.07 million) in Facebook funds after the U.S-based social networking company's WhatsApp messaging service failed to turn over messages sought in a drugs case, the G1 news service said.
Brazil's federal police said WhatsApp has defied repeated orders to turn over messages sent and received by suspected members of an international cocaine smuggling ring that has been under investigation since January.
Without the data, it will be difficult or impossible to prove links between those captured in recent raids and their confederates in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Spain, G1 reported, citing the police.
After repeated failure over five months to turn over the information, a judge in Brazil's southern Paraná state froze the funds, which are equal to WhatsApp's accumulated fines for non-compliance in the case, G1 said.
Because WhatsApp has no bank accounts in Brazil, the judge froze funds owned by its parent, Facebook, the article said.
The Brazilian court, though, did not use provisions of Brazil's Internet law that allows courts to shut down service in some cases of non-compliance with court orders.

Why people buy bottled water: How a perceived joke from the 1970's has become the largest sector of today's beverage industry. Take something that is readily available, that most everybody already has, find a creative way to package and market it, and sell it to the masses at a thousand times its cost.
Unfortunately, the joke is really on the consumer because they already had plenty of it and it costs them virtually nothing. But somehow we have been conditioned into going to our local market and buying lots of it, usually in cumbersome and awkward containers, or many smaller ones, and then have the burden of lifting and carrying those containers home, storing them, discarding, and sorting them - the works. And all for something most of us already have at arms reach.
In 2015 bottled water in the US alone was a $15+ BILLION industry, and it all started 40 years ago with a sparkling water from France. In 1977, Perrier's target audience and approach to marketing were different than we see today. Perrier® caught the beverage industry behemoths' attention with their effervescent mineral beverage in a big way.
This new fashionable drink entranced the imagination of the public. The slightly carbonated Perrier wasn't a direct comparison to water from your tap, because of its unique qualities. It was more.
Unlike today's bottled water, you knew the source of Perrier. They made sure you knew it came direct to you from Vergèze, located in the Gard département, Southern France. Their green glass bottle, shaped like a perfect water drop was distinct. All these factors gave Perrier an elegant, different, one-of-a-kind appeal, positioning this naturally carbonated drink as the "Champagne of mineral water."
Packaged in more expensive glass bottles, Perrier was segmented and target marketed to young professionals. Their brand wasn't about health, purity, or contaminated aquifers. It was a status symbol. "Look at me, and look at what I'm drinking." It was about the lifestyle.
The growth of Perrier helped spark the beginning market trend for the "health conscious consumer." It didn't take long for the beverage giants, namely Coke® and Pepsi® to take notice. The increase in that market sector also caught the eye of food conglomerate, Nestle®. These three giants pulled off what many call the "Marketing trick of the century."
The marketing dollars that began to flow into the bottled water industry make it seem like it all started in the late 1980's. But in reality, the beverage conglomerates have capitalized on a rich history of bottling water, going back for centuries. People have been going to the mountains and filling their bottles since the beginning of time. Before the 1980's bottled water was a treat or something the elite enjoyed exclusively.
1844 - The POLAND SPRING® story began when summer visitors vacationed at a family Inn in Maine and wanted to return home with the 100% natural glacier spring water from their trip, that they referred to as wonder tonic.
1863 - PERRIER® first bottled by decree of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte III "for the good of France."
1873 - DEER PARK® Brand's 100% natural spring water got its start near the crest of the Appalachians, where travelers, including President Taft, came from all over to enjoy its great taste.
Each of their stories touts their long histories as they showed the elite enjoying their refreshing, pure water.
Later, as big business saw the massive sales potential, they bought up many of the smaller boutique water companies, along with their water rights and sources.

From Treaty-Making to Treaty-Breaking is the first high-level analysis of ASEAN's external trade agreements with non-ASEAN states. It clearly sets out the intended, and unintended, consequences of ASEAN's prevailing method of treaty making, with suggested guidelines for the future. The book begins by asking whether ASEAN trade agreements follow worldwide trends in the substantive content of such agreements. It raises questions such as: to what extent is it possible to continue concluding trade agreements through individual member states?; what are the legal consequences - from negotiation and conclusion (treaty-making) through to possible breach of the agreements (treaty-breaking)?; should ASEAN resort to mixed treaty-making? This study does not seek to give a definitive answer to these questions, rather it opens up the topic to readers by suggesting different possible models for ASEAN trade agreements. This thought-provoking book will appeal to anyone interested in trade negotiations and trade agreements, particularly in Asia.Read more
- Demonstrates the different methods by which ASEAN and its member states have concluded, and how they could better conclude, trade agreements with non-member states: provides a framework of analysis useful to academic researchers and practitioners who examine treaty models
- Links the ASEAN practice of concluding external trade agreements to the practice of other nations and of the EU: particularly valuable to academic researchers and practitioners engaged in the comparative study of regional treaty-making practices
- Presents different models and examines the impacts of each model, with clear guidelines for the future: reviews the substance (content of the agreement), form (single, bundled or mixed agreements), and the rules for dispute settlement for each model

You could make a large batch of this and keep it in the frig for several days so you wouldn't have to make it every time you want to put it in your favorite recipe.

It's OK to pour yourself that extra cup of coffee in the morning. It just might cut your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, Harvard researchers say.
The researchers analyzed data from more than 120,000 people involved in three long-term studies. Those who increased their daily amount of coffee by more than one cup over a four-year period had an 11 percent lower diabetes risk than people who made no changes to their coffee habit. And those who decreased their coffee consumption by more than a cup in the same time period increased their diabetes risk by 17 percent.
Decaffeinated coffee showed no effect on the risk of diabetes, the researchers noted.
Why coffee? Chemicals in coffee called polyphenols may help the body better use the insulin it makes to process sugar, according to a separate 2012 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. When people can't use the insulin their bodies produce, diabetes can develop. Coffee is also high in antioxidants and magnesium, which have been linked to diabetes prevention.
Still, the Harvard researchers caution that drinking more coffee isn't the most important way to stave off diabetes – exercise and healthy weight are key.
The study, published in the journal Diabetologia, defined a cup of coffee as 8 ounces, either black or with a small amount of milk and/or sugar. Coffee is second only to water on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's list of the beverages adults consume most.
Coffee may provide other health benefits. Studies suggest regularly drinking coffee cuts the risk of colon and endometrial cancer and aggressive forms of prostate cancer. Some research even indicates daily coffee drinkers reduce their risk of Parkinson's disease, cognitive decline and depression, as The Chronicle has previously reported. (Link: http://bit.ly/1iSryly)

As former chief justice Nayan Bahadur Khatri is celebrating his 99th birthday this fortnight, Nepal's judiciary is witnessing a series of turmoil that threaten to shake its foundations built over six decades ago. Nepal is replacing its oldest Civil Code (Muluki Ain) with a new one after one and a half century.
As the longest serving chief justice, in a relatively stable judiciary, Khatri would not have imagined the present, an unstable and shaken judiciary, with three justices facing accusations on manipulation of their academic certificates, in just a matter of three months.
Retired over 35 years ago, former chief justice Khatri is a living history of Nepal's judicial transformation. Had he been keeping tab on the current state of judiciary, he would feel more pain.
Whether it was the international political case of B.P. Koirala, or an issue of fundamental rights, or the case of KI Singh, or Ram Raja, for that matter, former chief justice Khatri, who was in the Supreme Court of Nepal in a crucial period between 1960 and 1985, delivered a number of landmark constitutional verdicts. If one reads his verdicts on the political cases, he or she can see his depth of legal knowledge and conviction towards the rule of law and liberal political system.
Although current Supreme Court is constitutionally more independent than that of the past, the apex court seems to be no match with the Khatri-led Supreme Court in terms of delivering justice.
With over two and a half decades of career in Supreme Court and earlier decade in legal department, former chief justice Khatri was, in one or the other way, involved in drafting of five constitutions starting from Nepal Government Act 1949 to Constitution of Kingdom of Nepal 1990.
Published nine years ago, former chief justice Khatri's own memory Mero Jeevan Yatra, Anubhab ra Anubhuti (My Life's Journey: Experiences and Perceptions), disclosed so many interesting events and facts of several decades of political, social, cultural, legal fronts of Nepal. The book also showed the transformation of Kathmandu's social, cultural, religious and natural landscapes as he remained a part of all transformations. From the life of common people and elite rulers of Kathmandu Valley, social relations, power centers of early days of Rana period and Nepal in the later stage, Khatri provided a vivid description of Nepal. However, many see the book is just a drop of the sea of justice Khatri actually delivered.
"The book is just a drop of the sea. He should have written many more as he knew many ins and outs of Nepal," said senior advocate Badri Bahadur Karki, who also practiced in the bench of former chief justice Khatri.
In his tenure as a justice of Supreme Court, up to serving as the Chief Justice, he delivered several landmark constitutional verdicts. Among them, the habeas corpus of 1971, which was popularly known as Yagya Murti Banjade Vs the government, is still regarded as a masterpiece and widely cited as the precedence in Nepal's judicial history in the cases related to individual freedom.
Senior advocate and eminent constitutional lawyer late Ganesh Raj Sharma led a case, pleaded by senior advocate Kusum Shrestha and Krishna Prasad Bhandari, declaring Yagya Murti Banjade's detention was illegal and demanding habeas corpus.
Former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, Ram Chandra Poudel, Bipin Koirala, Shiva Bahadur Khadka were the beneficiaries of Khatri's landmark decision. This decision paved the way to register present Nepal Students Union of Nepali Congress and All Nepal Free Students Union of Communist Parties.
His verdict on the defamation case of Sarbgya Ratna Tuladhar Vs Rashtriya Panchayat was another landmark judicial verdict. The verdict delivered by a five-member full bench headed by chief justice Khatri interpreted Rashtriya Panchayat as a body without legislature power.
This constitutional verdict created so a hue and cry in Rashtriya Panchayat and cost him his extension for chief justice and paved the way to Dhanendra Bahadur Singh to become chief justice. After the delivery of this verdict, chief justice Khatri's relations with Palace administration deteriorated at the level that he did not get the extension of tenure.
Although his book has not touched on the Constitution of Nepal 2015, some provisions of the current constitution, claimed as more liberal, seems short in view of his verdicts delivered during Panchayat days on the fundamental rights of citizen.
Serving as the chairperson of Press Council Nepal, Khatri also dealt with Nepali press. During his tenure, the Council introduced the code of conduct for the media.
Khatri took the charge of chief justice when the court was overcrowded with political cases of banned Nepali Congress and Communist Party leaders and workers.
Cases of BP Koirala, Ganesh Man Singh, Rishikesh Shaha, KI Singh, Ram Raja Prasad Singh, Communist leader Manmohan Adhikary were handled by the benches headed by chief justice Khatri. He always delivered his verdicts against the government, giving assurances to the people that judiciary was impartial and in favor of individual freedom and political rights.
He ordered the release of many political prisoners, issuing habeas corpus and mandamus. Out of many younger lawyers who pleaded the political cases in his bench, only a few of them are alive: senior advocates Kushum Shrestha, Krishna Prasad Bhandari, Sindhunath Pyakurel, Daman Nath Dhungana and Sarbagya Ranta Tuladhar are alive but not active. Active senior advocates of the time are Badri Bahadur Karki, Bishwokanta Mainali, Subhash Nembang, Dr. Surya Dhungel, MahadevYadav, and Radhe Shyam Adhikari, Harihar Dahal and Prakash Wasti.
Many renowned constitutional lawyers like Sambhu Prasad Gyawali, Krishna Prasad Ghimire, Krisnha Prasad Panta, Bashudev Dhungana, Moti Kazi Sthapit and Ganesh Raj Sharma, who pleaded in his bench, are no more.
Khatri, who was born in Kupundole and now living in Manbhawan, also settled several cases related to BP Koirala, ordering his release. He issued orders to release BP Koirala from unauthorized prison from time to time. In his book he also describes many references and verdicts he delivered as the judge.
An eyewitness of Nepal's political, social and judicial transformation of over last 9 decades, former chief justice Khatri has made immense contributions to Nepal's legal sector. During his career as a justice of Nepal's apex court, Khatri always stood for the rule of law and liberal order and his verdicts were his testimony.
With landmark precedents, which lawyers cite during their pleading of the cases and judges cite while giving verdicts, his name is on top in the judicial history of Nepal. But, among his six sons and daughters and fifteen grand children, nobody is in legal practice to follow the legacy of the legendary man. Although one of his sons studied law, he is not in practice. One of his sons and a daughter have already died.
Despite being in a weak and unstable political period, the people have some faith in the judiciary, for it has traditions going back to predecessors like Khatri.
One does not need to praise justices and judges for their verdicts, or precedents, which speak by themselves. If one goes through the verdicts on civil rights, former chief justice Khatri firmly stands tall on his convictions.
Ninety-nine year old former chief justice Khatri rarely has any contact with his current fraternity and colleagues. However, his family members said that he still attaches great faith on a profession on which he has spent his entire life.
His involvement in the legal system was not for nothing. Sent to Lucknow University to Complete MA in Economics, he returned to Nepal with two degrees, MA in Economics and Bachelor in Law (MA, BL). According to his biography, Khatri's first choice was to be an economics teacher at Tri Chandra College.
Coincidently, Khatri was asked to work in Rana's court and later on then Prime Minister Padma Sumsher asked him to work in a committee which drafted the first constitution for Nepal.
After the completion of work and Padma Sumsher's voluntary retirement from power, the last Rana Prime Minister Mohan Sumsher Rana appointed him Major of Nepal Army, with a deputation of Nepali Wakil (consulate general to Lhasa). He served there for almost three years till 2008.
During the Rana period, normally the foreign relations used to be under the military wing of prime minister. Khatri, who joined as a civilian in Rana's civil service, was transferred to Army to secure new post in the diplomatic mission.
He was also an eyewitness of the Tibetan Upsurge and the march of China's People's Liberation Army to Lhasa. Khatri presented his credentials to Dalai Lama and Chinese official representatives as a diplomat from Nepal's court. His grand-daughter Neelu Thapa recalled her grandfather's sharp memory till writing the book. However, his memory has faded in recent years.
Almost 37 years later, former chief justice Khatri was appointed the Royal Nepalese Ambassador to China by King Birendra. Khatri served there for four full years of his tenure as a Nepalese ambassador to People's Republic of China.
Although former chief justice Nayan Bahadur Khatri joined Nepal's civil service during the autocratic Rana Rule, he retired in an experiment of four constitutions.
MA and BL of Lucknow University of India, former Justice Khatri was also a well read person of Nepal's Legal Code (Muluki Ain).
With the legal education and higher education from liberal Indian University, Justice Khatri's verdict and legal opinion were always inspired by his study and university as he described in his memoir. Graduating in law from Lucknow University, he completed his MA in Economics and Sociology from the same University
In his biography, Khatri narrates his life from joining the bureaucracy during the period of Padma Sumsher Rana and joining the team of drafters of the first constitution of Nepal in 2004.
For his contribution to drafting the 2004 constitution, former chief justice Khatri was rewarded with a positing in Consulate General's Office or Nepal's Mission of Lhasa Tibet.
In his late days, former chief justice Khatri, founder chairman of National Human Rights Commission, continued his verdicts following his own standards.
Former chief justice Khatri always stood strongly in favor of liberal ideas and rule of law and his book is his testimony to his commitment to liberal values and rule of law.
As Khatri celebrates his 99th birthday, Nepal's judiciary and judicial system, under stress at present to maintain its independence and impartiality, should turn a leaf of its history back to the time of former chief justice Khatri for some inspiration.

By 1967 the curriculum had undergone extensive change. The de-
velopment of a graduate program in 1961 was to have a significant
impact on the commitment and function of the biology faculty and
research activity, previously limited because of the pressure of huge
teaching loads, was greatly increased and encouraged when the staff
was increased in size during the sixties.
Among those who taught biology at Wake Forest for the period
under study were the following: Ora C. Bradbury, 1925-62; Elton C.

in Lea Laboratory, which had been completed in October 1888 and
was in a considerable state of disrepair. The central section had an
entrance foyer, a storeroom, two balance rooms, and a laboratory for
sixteen students on the first floor. The second floor provided a lecture
room seating sixty-four students, a small storage room, a darkroom,

To Art and Profit (April 15 - 17)
Friday, April 15, 2011 at 8:00 PM - Sunday, April 17, 2011 at 2:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
To Art & Profit: Quit Bullshittin': Recognizing Division And Building Solidarity in the Arts
Curated by Abra Johnson & Meida McNeal
Spread over three weekends from March through May 2011, To Art & Profit is an interdisciplinary performance series augmented with arts-focused dialogues and Carnival-inspired street theatre spectacle throughout the city of Chicago.
The second weekend in the series explores the gaps in diverse arts expression and programming. How can we make more mindful choices about the kinds of art we make and consume? Why is this lack of diversity culturally significant?
Artists: In The Spirit, Siete Lunas Nuevas, Avery R. Young, Boogie McClarin, Nikki Patin, Crystle Dino, Nicole Noland & Fathom DJ.
This program is funded in part by
FREE Sunday Community Spectacle 4pm & Panel Discussion 5:30pm at the Maekeen Room 2147 S. Lumber Street, Suite 405 River Front Lofts, Pilsen
To Art & Profit envisions what collective social action looks like through a diverse and democratic approach to artistic programming, and tackles difficult questions bringing art-centered conversations and explorations to different kinds of local public spaces.
The festival pairs Chicago-based artists across discipline and genre, asking them to create performances around select themes and questions: How can we practice a more conscientious capitalism, one that allows art makers to make a living while still caring about the nourishing of the human spirit? How can we bring more creative voices to public spaces and stages widening the scope of representation and our willingness to embrace creative expressions we are not familiar with? How can we democratize art production?
Panels of artists, scholars and creative advocates will address art as knowledge in discussions held throughout the city at various community-centered spaces. Each performance weekend will be linked to a culminating street theatre event that adapts the performances to divergent public spaces in Chicago (Rogers Park, Logan Square,Pilsen. We hope to make productive social interventions using performance as the lightening rod to incite interest and discussion. We forward the idea of art as a critical thinking and social justice tool. We also forward the idea of performance as a public forum. Finding various ways to invite community participation, this series explores how art can be profitable, accountable and accessible.
Most significantly, To Art & Profit manifests what a socially aware art practice imagines itself to be at its core: an engine for critically engaged creative conversation destabilizing the norms of knowledge, taste and collaboration.

Fantasia of Color in Early Cinema
Sunday, November 22, 2015, 3:30 p.m.
Prepare to be dazzled by this breathtaking display of the beauties of hand-colored cinema, from the time before Technicolor was born. These shimmering, iridescent examples of hand painting, dyeing, and stencil coloring are drawn from the collection of the EYE Filmmuseum in Amsterdam: early trick films and travelogues that include images of Dutch windmills silhouetted against a crimson-burnished sunset, promenading Parisians, the sprightly fountains of Versailles, and Algeria's dance of the Ouled Naïl. This program celebrates the publication of a new book, Fantasia of Color in Early Cinema (Amsterdam University Press, 2015), that provides fresh reconsideration of the pioneering uses of color in film, with a forward by Martin Scorsese; scholarly essays by Tom Gunning (University of Chicago), Joshua Yumibe (Michigan State University), Giovanna Fossati (EYE Film Institute Netherlands and University of Amsterdam), and illustrator Jonathon Rosen; and an annotated filmography by Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi. Join Fossati, Gunning, and others for this cinematic garden of earthly delights. All films restored by EYE Filmmuseum.
