At that time she didn't know about the boom in Art Dolls. Soon she began to find Mona out more about contem- porary Doll Art. She was impressed by the variety and the high standard. That is what motivated her to delve deeper into the subject. She wanted to know if she could compete and took Samantha - Ericson Award part in her first International Group photo with Berni exhibition. It was there that she re ceived an award and it was the beginning of her career. Through education she has gained confidence and experience. For Berni Stenek it is very important to give the dolls a natural expression and human proportions. Making only clay sculptures in the begin- ning, she now creates only china dolls. Emotions and moods have an effect on the expressions of the characters. Berni prefers to give the Max Feenstab, 2002 Ann Katrin Angelina facial features a friendly expression Best Traditional Doll rather than a serious one. zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxz Moskau, 2006 Berni is invited to make presenta- tions around the world. She exhibits her dolls and objects in International Galleries in Austria, Germany, and Russia. She also allows her art out on loan to the German toy i n d u s try and releases her art for touring exhibitions. Representative of many awards she has received from competitions world wide, are the Contemporary Doll-Art award, and the Max-Oscar-Arnold award of Neustadt for the third time in succession.

Blair Inquiry
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair acknowledged today that Saddam Hussein didn't become a bigger threat after September 11, but that the "perception of risk" changed.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.

The 2015 McGill Classics Play will be Seneca's Thyestes, directed by Duncan McDonald. Auditions will take place in November.
For further information, or to volunteer, please contact lynn [dot] kozak [at] mcgill [dot] ca (Prof. Kozak).
Performances will take place February 9-12 at La Sala Rossa, 4848 St. Laurent, Montreal, Qc, H2T 1R5. More details to follow!
The goals of the annual McGill Classics Play are simple: to give our Classics students a new perspective on material that they usually only experience as written texts in the classroom, to give non-Classics students an opportunity to experience ancient drama, and to provide a space for the exchange of art and ideas around Greek texts in our Montreal community.
The McGill Classics Play is a non-profit venture committed to giving Montreal university students a unique educational experience, while fostering cultural exchanges with our Montreal community around ancient texts. In the future we'd like to offer free shows and free performance and translation workshops open to the community, and to bring in guest speakers for public lectures on Classical drama and performance. Any support you can give in helping us reach these goals is so appreciated. You can donate directly to the McGill Classics Play here, and you will automatically receive a tax receipt for your donation. Thank you for supporting the McGill Classics Play!
The McGill Classics Play is a member of the Quebec Drama Federation, and its community partner, Oimoi Productions, is a member of the Freestanding Creative Collective.

Improved Face Filler Available in the Tri-State
Updated: Wednesday, November 20 2013, 09:45 AM EST
NORWOOD (Liz Bonis) -- A new product to give you the look of a facelift without surgery is now available in the Tri-State. Medical reporter Liz Bonis talks with one of the first patients to try it out.
Just a few days ago, Vicki Ferraro says she wasn't happy with the look on her face, "I wanted more of a lift." She got that lift, she says and came back for follow up photos that show improvement thanks to Juvederm Voluma, "I love it, I like pulling my hair back, looking at my cheek bones, I love it."
Juvederm Voluma is made of a substance called a hyaluronic acid, a category of facial fillers known as HAs for short. According to Dr. Jon Mendelsohn, "hyaluronic acids are naturally occuring products found in life, they are part of our bones, part of our skin, these are malleable, soft products we can sculpt like clay."
Now this substance, used to enhance your youthfulness, has been around for awhile, but this is sort of a new and improved version so we wanted to be able to compare it to the last and let you know what's different about this latest version. "This is a game changer in terms of what's coming." Dr. Mendelsohn is a facial plastic surgeon who is one of the first to use this so-called game changer.
He says it's different because as you can see as he injects Arlene Shuller, it goes right into the cheekbone area, not below it as with most facial fillers. "It's a deeper injection, so where we are placing the product, rather than into the soft tissue it's right above the layer of the bone called the periosteum, so we are placing it deep to add back some structure to the face."
Juvederm Voluma also last longer than other fillers, up to two years. Arlene showed improvement in about 15 minutes. She was pretty happy with the results, "it's fantastic, it's like the quickest lift ever."
If you are not as pleased, a follow-up injection can also reverse the results. This filler cost about 15-hundred dollars for both sides of your face. It's not covered by medical insurance plans.

Modesto Man Arrested For Public Intoxication After Arriving For Court With Same Charge

Get Breaking News First
MODESTO (CBS13) – A man accused of showing up to court under the influence is under arrest, and what got him arrested is the same thing that brought him to court in the first place.
And by all accounts he tried to get to court, but instead, deputies would walk him to the Stanislaus County Jail.
"He did make an effort to show up to the courthouse to attend his court hearing," said Dep. Raj Singh, Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department.
But that effort wouldn't go too far. Ryan Nunes would be stopped at the Stanislaus County Court security checkpoint, not for a loaded weapon, but rather just being loaded.
"The deputies noticed he was under the influence," said Singh.
Nunes had a date with a judge he didn't want to miss but he allegedly was in no shape to stand up to the charge against him. Apparently he could barely stand at all.
"He wasn't able to walk and his speech was very slurred," said Singh.
That charge he was there to answer to was public intoxication.
After arguing with deputies, they say they instructed Nunes to reschedule his court date and sober up, but after being tossed out, they say he sat on the court steps to see a judge.
"He was asked several times to leave. He refused to do so," said Singh.
So, he was arrested and walked a single block to the county jail with another charge of public intoxication.
"It's pretty funny, and it's sad too," said one Modesto resident.
It has people in Modesto shaking their heads.
"It's ridiculous. What do you do with a guy like that?" asked another resident.
He wanted to see a judge and instead he is faced with a sober reality, sobriety in jail.
"Most of the time people don't show up drunk. So this was an unusual case for us," said Singh.
Nunes now also faces a charge for failing to appear to that court date. He's scheduled to be back in court in the coming weeks.
According to court records, Nunes has numerous other alcohol related charges.
