Perhaps You'd Be Interested In Hearing The Directors Of Erykah Badu's "Window Seat" Video Explain Themselves
Here we have MTV's chat with Coodie and Chike, who helmed Ms. Badu's slightly NSFW ode to Matt & Kim and the eradication of groupthink. Erykah herself, of course, has Tweeted about 2,000 times about it in the last 24 hours, offering everything from amusing anecdotes to nonchalant defiance. But perhaps you'd like an outsider/male perspective. Salient quote:
Days before she went in front of the camera, Badu spoke to her children, all three of their fathers and other family members to make sure everyone was OK with what she was going do. Everyone supported her. Then she had her own insecurities to deal with.
"That was a concern of hers," Chike said about the singer getting naked. "Her body, she's a vegetarian, she also has three kids. So she was like, 'I haven't worked out,' but it was cool. Nobody was trippin' on that. Everybody thought she was super sexy. She has big assets, thick assets. ... That totally wasn't the point of the video. [She was] not trying to show off those things."
Pretty tastefully handled, I think. As a bonus, here's a Houston Chronicle article in which Dallas officials note that Badu's shoot was technically illegal. Key word appearing in the headline: "harumph."

In the MENA region, businesses realize the impact of the digital space on their consumers' behavior. However, a few companies are prepared to act on this realization because the majority don't know how to capture behavior and how to react to it. Traditional research tools are great, but come with limitations. Maybe it is time to go hybrid and include the digital factor. Can we combine marketing research and technology in the Middle East?

Marketers are under increasing pressure to measure marketing spending effectiveness. Marketing research provides important quantitative and qualitative tools to allow companies to track sales, market share, customer satisfaction, etc. However, it seems companies are slow to adopting best practices in this area. This survey by McKinsey Global highlights how many companies are still not using the various tools available to them…
It is great to use case studies for inspiration as the author Rohit Bhargava says in this post, but we should not let the unavailability of case studies in our field or region deter us from doing something new or different that other businesses will read case studies about in the future.

He has outlasted George Bush, the man who conquered him. He has outlasted Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and is about to see off Bill Clinton.

He has outlasted George Bush, the man who conquered him. He has outlasted Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and is about to see off Bill Clinton. Step forward Saddam Hussein, the man who 10 years ago today invaded Kuwait and brought upon himself the most spectacular, swift and crushing military defeat suffered by a single country in modern times.
Since then, of course, seen from whichever of his presidential palaces or military bunkers he currently inhabits, the picture has immeasurably improved. The international coalition which routed him has long since dissolved. The "Big Five" members of the United Nations security council which determines his fate are hopelessly divided. The UN sanctions imposed in August 1990 have grown increasingly leaky; as the new millennium opens, Saddam seems more securely in power than ever.
Since the departure of the last UN inspection team, he has had almost two uninterrupted years to catch up on chemical, biological and nuclear weapons business, disturbed only by a low-level British and US air campaign, the "forgotten war" which started in December 1998 and continues to this day.
"We have no quarrel with the Iraqi people," claims the Foreign Office when pressed on the sanctions and the bombing strikes which, Baghdad claims, have killed 300 civilians. In fact, ordinary Iraqis are the undisputed victims of this unfinished war and the sanctions that have reduced a sophisticated Arab nation to an economy driven by barter, corruption and despair. Soaring infant and child mortality and desperate shortages of medicines testify to the failure of the UN's food-for-oil programme, designed to bypass Saddam's regime and meet Iraq's humanitarian needs.
Iraq and now Yugoslavia prove once again that punitive sanctions almost never work. Slobodan Milosevic is merely following Saddam's path - using sanctions and the rationing they cause to keep key supporters sweet by allowing them access to scarce goods, and to play the nationalist card by blaming the misery of the rest of the population on persecution by wicked foreigners such as ourselves.
Such are the unintended consequences of British and American policy on Iraq. Could things have been different? Certainly, if the United States had exercised more effective preventative diplomacy in the weeks before the invasion of Kuwait, warning Saddam that any violation of Kuwaiti sovereignty would be met by force. Perhaps, if President Bush had extended the 100-hour ground war a little longer, to destroy the bulk of Saddam's forces.
But a direct onslaught on Baghdad would have shattered the Bush coalition on the spot and led to further destabilisation, either by turning Iraq into an unwilling US protectorate in the heart of the Arab world or by permitting Iran to fill the vacuum. The dirty truth is that today's stalemate suits everyone - except, of course, ordinary Iraqis. From the viewpoint of the United States, Britain, Turkey and Israel, and of many countries in the region, Saddam is bad news, but the disintegration of Iraq would be far worse.
If there were an easy answer to this conundrum, it would have long since been found. But current Anglo-American policy is at a dead end. We have boxed ourselves into a position where the slightest climbdown would look like surrender. The least bad policy now, and certainly the one which would most swiftly improve the lot of the Iraqi people, would be to declare victory and move on.
We should lower to virtual invisibility the bar that Iraq must jump in order to satisfy the incoming UN weapons inspectors and secure the lifting of sanctions. Instead, we should pursue the containment, and ideally the downfall, of Saddam by other means. A defiant Saddam will undoubtedly claim a famous victory. But a man who has so thrived on failure may just find that success is his undoing.Reuse content

A Sustainable Special Needs Community
Sunflower Hill is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working to create a sustainable residential community for individuals with special needs – similar to senior living. Our community would not only support life-long living opportunities, but social, vocational, educational and recreational programs to ensure a full and productive life.
In November 2015, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released a updated statistic: one in 45 children are now being diagnosed with Autism. This is a increase from one in 150 in 1992 and essentially means that approximately two percent of all children in the United States ages 3-17 have some form of Autism. As these children become adults, there is and will continue to be a tremendous need for housing and support services.
Sunflower Hill seeks to enhance the options available to those with special needs by creating a diverse community of choice that supports a sustainable, productive and happy quality of life.

She had suffered both from the decision of the trial judge, Mr Justice Mantell, to admit key evidence regarded by the defence as inadmissible and from his failure to put her side of the case adequately when he summed up, said Richard Ferguson, QC.
West, 42, is seeking leave to appeal against her conviction on 10 charges of murder by a jury at Winchester Crown Court. But Lord Taylor, the Lord Chief Justice, and two other judges, are effectively hearing her appeal case in full.
The widow of the self-confessed serial killer, Frederick West, who was found hanged in his prison cell, denies any part in the murders of 10 girls and young women. Their remains were found at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, the couple's house, and at their previous home in the city.
West is in jail at Durham and is not attending the hearing in London.
Mr Ferguson told the court yesterday: "Other than the sheer horror of the discovery of the remains of the victims, the most striking feature of this case, say the defence, was the dearth of evidence to connect the applicant to these crimes."
He said the evidence linking Rosemary West to the deaths of Heather West, her daughter, Charmaine West, her husband's step-daughter, and Shirley Robinson, a lodger at 25 Cromwell Street, was "tenuous."
Evidence connecting her to the seven victims of sex killings found at Cromwell Street, "was virtually non-existent unless the evidence advanced under the banner of similar fact evidence was properly admissible".
Similar fact evidence was given by women who survived sexual assaults in which Rosemary West took part with her husband. The prosecution argued this showed that she was also involved in the attacks on the victims who died, but the defence said it was inadmissible.
Mr Ferguson said yesterday it was not known how the victims died because such a long time had elapsed since their deaths; Rosemary West had never admitted being involved, and there was evidence that Frederick West had carried out two murders and other attacks on his own.
The remains of Ann McFall, who disappeared before Frederick West met Rosemary, were found dismembered and bound with cord. Mr Ferguson said this showed that Rosemary West had not been involved in killing the seven Cromwell Street victims discovered in similar circumstances.
He said the possibility that Frederick West was solely responsible for the murders "is the hook upon which the defence hang their objection to the similar fact evidence."
Mr Ferguson continued: "The media both before and during the hearing of the case, exercised a malign influence on the proceedings such as to deprive the applicant of a fair trial."
He produced newspaper cuttings which he said were "sensational and prejudicial" and added that every major witness had a contract with the media which led to the danger of evidence being exaggerated or rehearsed with journalists.
Mr Ferguson said that another reason for the appeal was the defence's belief that the charges relating to Heather West, Charmaine West and Shirley Robinson should have been dealt with separately.
He also criticised the summing-up of Mr Justice Mantell for not giving adequate directions to the jury on how to apply similar fact evidence and failing to put the defence case fully.
The hearing continues today.Reuse content

Samantha Cameron got in to the festive spirit this morning by sporting her Christmas jumper along with school children at 10 Downing Street.
The Prime Minister's wife donned a blue bobbled jumper to pose for pictures with children from Stewart Fleming Primary school in Birkbeck, south east London, and the Courtland Primary School in Mill Hill, north London.
The children had created their own jumpers - sticking hand drawn pictures of penguins and snowmen along with glitter and bobbles on to their creations.
Mrs Cameron was supporting Christmas Jumper Day in association with Save the Children.
Yesterday, The Duchess of Cornwall looked thrilled as she helped decorate a Christmas tree during a lunch at Clarence House. She also met patients of the world's first children's hospice the Helen & Douglas House at the event.Reuse content

I haven't seen every episode of The Dog Whisperer, but the ones I have seen pretty much boil down
to this: Walk your dog for 45 minutes every day, and make sure he knows you're the boss. Apparently dogs, like children, crave boundaries. So do copywriters.
Which isn't to say we can't produce brilliant, laser-focused work when left to our own devices; we have been known to heed the voice of our own, interior copy masters. Sometimes this leads to hitherto unimagined realms of daring; sometimes it results in a chewed-up couch. Once we've established a bond of mutual understanding and trust with you, however, let us off the leash and watch us fly like greyhounds.
We know you don't all have creative directors – boundary-setting specialists – at your disposal. Nor are most of you in a position to provide your copy purveyor with a detailed creative brief. Still, you'll get the ultimate in prize-winning behavior from us if you establish a few boundaries, however informally.

Ouvert ALL the things!* This black satin bra was inspired by a vintage quarter cup (what?! People in the 50's liked sexy bras too) and even more vintage stays, so rather than wires, it's vertically boned with a stabilising lining. The curvy scalloped bustline satin sweeps up to a strap with an adjustable elastic back with black powernet back and hooks and eyes. It has a delicate tulle frill and satin bow to finish it.
You can wear this as a low cut bra and it will offer some support, though it won't lift and seperate the way wired bras do, or we also like it worn over other bras and tops as a lingerie fashion item. Where it sits on you will depend on your breast shape and nipple placement; if you're an E cup or above, it's probably best to go up a size - but be aware that this isn't a bra designed with athletic activity in mind! The black satin is the same used on the Angelou Bra, also on a set coming out later this year, and on Playful Promises' black satin styles, so there's plenty to mix it up with.
* This phrase originates with the excellent Hyperbole and a Half, whom I thoroughly recommend reading. Though she has never in any way endorsed ouverting anything, probably because no-one ever let her loose in the land of lingerie.

We cannot be healthy if the food we eat is not healthy. Whether you eat meat or are a vegan, the quality of the food you consume is directly related to how healthy you are. There are other factors, exercise, for one, plays a major role in health care. Getting up off the couch and going outside, even just for a walk, matters.
The issue becomes more complicated when we look at the health of the environment. If the air we breathe is polluted, the water we drink despoiled, the soil our food is grown in contaminated, then it matters little how many green, orange and purple foods you eat. Vegan or carnivore, a polluted foodscape infects the food choices you make.
Soil health, air and water quality are major environmental issues, but they are also major health care issues. We need an healthcare system that understands this relationship.

Nostalgia in Venice
On "All the World's Futures: The 56th International Art Exhibition" at the Giardini della Biennale and the Arsenale.
The Doge's Palace, Ruskin wrote in 1851, was the "central building of the world," because it reconciled Arabic, Byzantine, and Romanesque elements in "exactly equal proportions." Though Ruskin did not see the Great Exhibition, that other central building of the Victorian world, Karl Marx did visit the steel and glass shrine to capital in Hyde Park: the first of the global trade fairs and the progenitor of the Venice Biennale. Marx's review of the Exhibition contains the founding critique of what we call globalization, as well as the theories of the "commodity fetish" and "false consciousness."
"With this exhibition," Marx grumbled, "the bourgeoisie of the world has erected in the modern Rome its Pantheon where, with self-satisfied pride, it exhibits the gods which it has made for itself." Capital created "a world after its own image." The "concentrated power of industry" was "demolishing national barriers" and "blurring local peculiarities"; the national pavilion was a shop window. "For the first time in the history of the world, a national museum is formed in which a whole nation is inside a building."
Okwui Enwezor, the curator of the fifty-sixth Biennale's central exhibition, agrees.1 In our "global landscape," he tells us, national pavilions are "the most anachronistic of exhibition models." Still, the old bourgeois hegemony enforces its "unquestionable allure," and Enwezor, denouncing as he goes, is happy to polish it. This year, the thirty national pavilions of the Giardini are accompanied by twenty-three national displays in the halls of the Arsenale shipyard, each accompanied by a massive exhibition curated by Enwezor.
A further thirty-five nations slum it in rented accommodation elsewhere in the city. New Zealand is at the airport, Iran is isolated near the Ghetto, and Armenia licks its wounds at a monastery. Croatia is up a canal near the Rialto because Serbia refuses to share the old Yugoslavian pavilion. Costa Rica pulled out because the organizers tried to extort 5,000 Euros from it. A Syrian collective camps migrant-style in the Giardino delle Vergini. The Kurds are otherwise engaged, with a portable exhibition of installations in the Syrian desert. There are also forty-four "Collateral Events" in Venice. Some are group shows sponsored by private foundations. Others are one-person shows by big cheeses like Jenny Holzer and Sean Scully, or collective efforts by small potatoes, the nations who lack a nation state: Catalunya, Newfoundland, Hong Kong, Scotland, Los Angeles.
"The world before us exhibits deep divisions and wounds, pronounced inequalities and uncertainties as to the future," Biennale President Paolo Baratta pronounces with Ruskinian angst, as the oligarchs moor their yachts on the Riva. "Despite the great progress made in knowledge and technology, we are currently negotiating an 'Age of Anxiety.' " How, Baratta wonders, do the "tensions of the outside world" act on the "sensitivities and the vital and expressive energies of artists, on their desires and their inner song"?
Baratta believes that Okwui Enwezor, the first non-white director of the Biennale and an emigrant from Nigeria to New York, has a "special sensitivity" to that melody. This is clearly not the case. Enwezor's inner song is the tired, tone-deaf melody of aesthetic Marxism, potent like cheap music, but without the fun. His delivery is special in the way of a Soviet housing development and as sensitive as forced re-education.
The centerpiece of his Biennale, the International Exhibition, is a long march through the Marxist apocalypse. The portals are draped in Oscar Murillo's funereal black flags. The interior lays out the corpse. Video installations of a hooded man vomiting blood and the desert seen from a speeding truck are soundtracked by the detonation of bombs and shells. Civil wars in Africa: shoddy drawings of choice armaments from Sierra Leone and a pair of thrones assembled from decommissioned weapons from Mozambique. Sheaves of swords sprout from the ground like obscene lilies. Bunches of chainsaws hang from the ceiling, coated in tar.
The visual vocabulary is deliberately impoverished, shrunken by the subordination of the visual to the verbal, the verbal to the political. But the script is delivered with impeccable, straight-faced sanctimony, here and in many of the national exhibits. Bits of military-industrial debris, preferably non-serviceable, the better to illustrate the tardiness of Late Capitalism. Astroturf, to remind us of the falsity of our consciousness, and the wickedness of our desire for private property. Toilets from the company of Duchamp et Fils, celebrating its centenary by reissuing its first and only model. Piles of bricks, daringly arrayed or disarrayed by the firm of Carl Andre. Glass vitrines containing fictional catalogs and dead birds, to expose the rationalizing "project" of Orientalist imperialism. Paradoxical slogans, usually in flashing neon, to remind us of our intellectual servitude. Claustrophobic walk-throughs and low humming noises, to remind us that we, the global plebs, are worker drones. News footage, explosions, and broken glass to remind us that we feast while the world suffers.
Here, an honorable mention is due to the Republic of Georgia. In Crawling Border, Nia Mgaloblishvili's team created a walk-through border post with broken glass, explosions, news footage, and, daringly, the placement of multiple toilets on Astroturf. Yet, despite its familiar elements, this was an effective and affecting piece of work. The reason is that Georgia, like many post-totalitarian societies, has wandered off the historical script. After 1989, the iron laws of dialectical materialism dissolved. The conceits of ideology lost their precedence over what Marx would have called "actually existing" experiences, such as the separatist war with Nagorno-Karabakh, and Georgia's struggle to reconnect to European civilization. The artist is no longer bullied by the thought police: the intellectual dogma cedes to physical, and even visual, experience. This change in historical circumstances revivifies the vocabulary of the installation.
For an exhibition purporting to reflect "the current state of things," the International Exhibition of "All the World's Futures" is palpably nostalgic. There are laments for the demise of that shotgun marriage of Seventies radicalism, the avant-garde and the workers' collective. Totems of the failed revolution are lovingly dusted off: factory ballads from Victorian England, Walker Evans's photographs of the Depression, the quaintly pre-digital neons of Bruce Naumann's American Violence (1981–82). There are ritual invocations of St. Walter of Benjamin, the patron saint of all who study media in private institutions, and Stuart Hall, the naked emperor of the barren field of Cultural Studies. As in the Sixties and Seventies, the embourgeoisement of the Western working class leads to the conscription of the wretched of the post-colonial earth: South African miners and Afghan carpet-knotters suffer before the lens. It is like sitting through a long and tedious teach-in, a period piece as kitsch as a Baader-Meinhof mustache or the entire works of Frantz Fanon. The Golden Lion for the International Exhibition went to Adrian Piper (b. 1948).
This is not "all the world's futures." It is some of the West's recent past, a selective and falsified vision in which ideology creates a world after its own image: the decay of Western Marxism from politics to aesthetics to a modern Scholasticism, cultishly divorced from reality. The conceptual "linchpin" of Enwezor's apocalypse is a daily reading of Das Kapital, regurgitated as a "dramatic text" by "trained actors," presumably because trained economists would give up. Marxism is metaphysical grievance masquerading as political economy; Enwezor was "inspired" to stage his daft epic when he saw the staged reading of a pair of sacred texts: the Akhand Path of the Sikhs, and Althusser and Balibar's Reading Capital, with its obeisance to Stalin and the "workers' movement which is our only hope and destiny." Those were the days.
Nearby, the director of this pious farce, the filmmaker Isaac Julien, appears on film, in dialectical mutual massage with David Harvey and Stuart Hall. Meanwhile at a palazzo on the Grand Canal, Julien moonlights in a private commission from Rolls-Royce. He has tweaked his footage of glacier caves in Iceland so that the Spirit of Ecstasy floats in their glassy refractions. As Marx said, capitalism degrades the quality of the artisan's product, along with his morals.
Enwezor too is awash in the "contradictions of capitalism." He has curated an exhibition at the Guggenheim. He holds a fellowship at the Whitney, directs the Haus der Kunst in Munich, and is known for his collections of bespoke suits and air miles. Yet he says he is "not part of the art-world establishment." This is the plaint of a sausage maker who, jamming offal and sawdust into the contraption and cranking its handle, blames his vendors when his products lack texture and taste.
Interviewed by the Guardian, Enwezor claimed that Das Kapital has "contemporary relevance," and that it "speaks to the situation we are in." He then admitted to not having read it. His charlatan ignorance would be comical, were it not for the historical tragedy that it denies. "His programme was to use capitalism to achieve social equality," Enwezor explained. "I don't think that Marx, had he lived, would have wanted capitalism to end."
I think that Marx, had he lived and parked his yacht at the Arsenale, would have been surprised by the endurance of local peculiarities. The French are intellectually complex, but caught in their myth: the mobile trees of Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's rêvolutions, their movements dictated by the rise and fall of their sap, were inspired by the follies and formal gardens of the Ancien Régime. The British are aggressively anti-intellectual, awkward about sex, and defensively yobbish when abroad: Sarah Lucas's banana-yellow bodies, with cigarettes protruding from their orifices, are contrived art-school hooliganism. The Germans are technologically superb and prone to exculpatory handwringing about the liabilities of technological superbia: their exhibits about exploited workers in Cairo and asylum seekers in Germany are eclipsed by Hito Steyerl's mock computer game, Factory of the Sun.
Steyerl's forty-minute film, one of the popular hits of this Biennale, blends bad memories from the twentieth century and post-Snowden paranoia about surveillance with a dystopian intimation of life in the post-carbon economy. The players begin as forced laborers in an energy gulag, wearing golden sequined bodysuits. Their every movement is "harvested" for its light photons; the players' challenge is to break out. Writhing and sparkling in their daft costumes, their lack of irony is as heroic as their impulse to freedom. In the end, one rubber-limbed servant of Terpsichore escapes. He celebrates his inalienable Freiheit by executing disco moves on the Teufelsberg, the "Devil's Mountain" west of Berlin, a hill contrived from the bombed rubble of the city, topped by a crumbling American surveillance station from the Cold War.
Factory in the Sun is shown on a giant screen, and we view it reclining on deck chairs: a dialectic of history and leisure, memory and hedonism. Dancing on the ruins, we are returned into history after the long dream of totalitarian ideology and its half-waking coda, the suspended states of the Cold War. Enwezor's theme raises a question that his ideology cannot answer; capitalism, not Kapital, was the revolution. But, just as the Renaissance fed on the decay of Scholasticism, so the best of the Biennale's exhibits express how the emerging perspectives of the twenty-first century create fresh views of the past.
Out in a Mekharist monastery on the island of San Lazarro degli Armeni, where Byron worked with the monks on an English–Armenian dictionary, eighteen diasporic Armenian artists preserve the centennial memory of their low-tech genocide and describe the cost of remembrance. In Hrair Sarkissian's Unexposed (2012), the descendants of Armenians who were forced to convert to Islam are photographed in dark interiors, like prisoners unable to leave their cells when the doors are open. Inextricably bound by the past, the Turkish-Armenian artist Sarkis appears in both Armenian and Turkish shows. In Gorky, a life in three acts, Aram Jibilian photographs his friends and family wearing masks derived from Arshile Gorky's The Artist and his Mother (1935–36). Modern Californians are overwritten with sacred memory, the inheritors depersonalized by the duty of remembrance.
Boosted by the centenary of the genocide, the Armenian show, curated by Adelina Cüberyan von Fürstenberg, won the Golden Lion for best national pavilion. But the South African show could easily have won instead. Again, a society confronts the persistence of life amid the exhaustion of ideology and the shadow of an unbearable past: the exhibition's title is "What remains is tomorrow." Gerald Machona's Ndiri Afronaut (2012) wears a space suit coated in worthless Zimbabwean dollar bills, with gold trimmings like the taps in a dictator's bathroom. The Afronaut's suit is exhibited like those of the Americans and Russians who went to the moon and back; a film shows him stumbling through the alien planet of affluent white suburbs, planting a fictional flag on a sand dune, and dying like postcolonial Zimbabwe.
The photographs of Mark Lewis's Wake Up, This is Joburg (2014) show that the end of the world is endless. In a dying city, "waste reclaimers" dress in tinfoil scraps, butchers hack up cows' heads in a disused parking garage, and illegal miners dig themselves into their graves. In Brett Murray's dual-channel digital installation Triumph (2015), two demagogues, one black, the other white, deliver identical assertions of racial supremacy. The eclipse of ideology reveals the absurdity and viciousness of its impositions; what remains is embodied experience and the echo of catastrophe. In Conversation: At the Beginning of Forever, Nandipha Mntambo fixes cow hide with resin: the ghost of a Greek statue emerges from the folds of skin. There may be Truth and Reconciliation, but there is no justice, and little hope.
Romania, another survivor of a monstrous historical experiment, presents a similarly articulate pavilion. Darwin's Room is devoted entirely to the paintings and drawings of Adrian Ghenie (b. 1977). In portraits of Darwin at various points in his life, the irrationalities of Darwinian politics break out like mold or acid burns on his face. Larger canvases capture the mutations of ideas into politics, and images into icons. In Duchamp's Funeral (2009), the artist is laid out in his open coffin like Lenin, pickled by reverence. In the extraordinary Darwin and the Satyr (2014), the prophet of evolution, torso twisted like Masaccio's Adam, flees from the Eden of irrational pleasure. As in the Kandinsky-esque The Storm (2015), and the book-burning Opernplatz (2014), the paint seems to melt from the canvas, as though scorched by history.
After these candid engagements, Joan Jonas's mixture of video, flags, and driftwood in the American Pavilion seems as dull and tasteful as an Eileen Fisher dress. In the films of They Come to Us without a Word, the photogenic children of Jonas's friends mill about awkwardly in white like lead-footed fairies: an adult's idea of childish innocence, a Victorian tea party, reshot as a Gap advertisement. My companion, an eight-year-old girl who has never come to me without a word, objected that children do not behave in this way and that it was wrong of Jonas to manipulate her subjects. She was right. Joan Jonas received a Golden Lion for this bland assertion of ideology over life.
Three Collateral shows deserve a Golden mention. Uninvited like Banquo's ghost, Hong Kong and Macau have set up shop on the Biennale's doorstep. In The Unbearable Nothing, Hong Kong's Tsang Kin-Wah has installed a Nietzschean sensorium in a derelict workshop. No other medium could not only illustrate the entanglement of William Morris, the Allegory of the Cave, the Death of God, and a Neo-Buddhist response to the flogging of a nearly dead horse, but also create a physical impression of the dissolutions and reunions of Eternal Recurrence.
Next door, Hong Kong's ex–Portuguese cousin, Macau, is represented by Mio Pang Fei's Path and Adventure. We climb a staircase, past The Special Era (2015), an installation of relics from the Cultural Revolution: military uniforms, food stamps, and propaganda comics. Upstairs, Mio relates his "secret quest" for Western art in a dictatorship, and his lifetime struggle to express himself freely. Born in Shanghai in 1936, he painted in pastel, because his works would be easier to destroy if the police came. His paintings from the Sixties and Seventies are all lost: we see only their photographs. He was finally able to travel to Europe in the early Eighties. The exhibit is dominated by Mio's work from the Nineties, densely worked abstract canvases on the medieval literary epic Shiu Hu Zhuan (The Water Margin), hung amid scrolls, hanging flags, and altars. Calligraphy emerges from thick oils like a half-recovered tradition, damaged by fire and burial.
Over at the crumbling and usually closed Palazzo Barbaro, where Zorn painted Isabella Stewart Gardner and Henry James sensed that "old ghosts seemed to pass on tip-toe on the marble floors," the Azerbaijani non-profit Yarat has created another superb meditation, also interweaving the physical fabric of Venice with the immaterial cords of memory. Curated by Suad Garayeva, The Union of Fire and Water restores the old links between the two ancient port cities, fostered in 1474 by Giosofat Barbaro, the Venetian ambassador to Shah Uzun Hassan of Persia. Venice revived as a tourist site, Baku in the post-Soviet oil rush. Almagul Menlibayeva's films and Rashad Alakbarov's installations are superimposed upon Venetian spaces, but framed within the Gothic rooms where the Barbaro family once lived, and where the Curtis family once hosted James, Sargent, and Whistler.
Menlibeyeva's films are an impressionistic biography of an early twentieth-century Baku tycoon, the oil magnate Murtuza Mukhtarov, who built a Venetian-style palace for his wife and refused to bow to Stalin. Images of Baku's pre-1917 oil boom entwine with images of its second post-1989 boom, sepia portraits and smashed pomegranates with the flaming fury of the modern refinery, and the garish glow of Baku at night. In Alakbarov's I Was Here (2015), an arrangement of mirrors and lamps conjures an unworldly assertion of presence, as though the perennial graffito has been written by a ghost. In Do Not Fear (2015), a single light source, shone through a sheaf of swords, projects its injunction onto another mirror.
Aida Mahmudova, the founder of Yarat, also appears in the official Azerbaijani effort. This is a two-part affair, in two locations. Beyond the Line is a historical retrospective, a tribute to the dissident Azeri modernists of the Fifties and Sixties. When painters like Ashraf Murad and Tofik Jabadur (both b. 1925) eschewed socialist realism, they knew they would be persecuted by the Soviets, and forced into obscurity. The Cubist variations of Murad's Sportswoman (1979) are a rebuke not just to the art commissars of the Soviet Union, but also to Murad's Western contemporaries, who jettisoned the figurative and painterly as bourgeois and claimed that installation art was an esoteric kind of socialist realism: the sort of strategy that the Soviets called "careerist." Bourgeois deviationism takes many forms.
Vita Vitale, 56th International Art Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia, All the World's Futures, Photo by Sara Sagui, Courtesy: la Biennale di Venezia
The second half of the Azerbaijani show, Vita Vitale, is thoroughly international. A motley of exhibits are strung along the theme of "vital life." A few posit the end of the planet—The Promised Land by Gordon Cheung (b. 1975), a luminously overwrought swamp, radiating a nuclear glow—but most eschew the Marxist eschatology of crisis and apocalypse. The photographs of Noémie Goudal (b. 1984) merge waterfalls inside the pillars of a palazzo. Laura Ford (b. 1961) has planted a group of anthropomorphic penguins in a side room, shuffling their shoed feet as they search for an iceberg or a Bellini. Mahmudova's contribution, On My Way Back Home to the Sea (2015) is a massive canvas in oil and acrylic. The Caspian Sea surges with life, but it is mutating: ice-like resin blocks float on the floor beneath the painting.
In 1851, while Ruskin was working on The Stones of Venice and Marx complaining about the Great Exhibition, Thoreau was revising his Walden notebooks. "The universe," he wrote, "constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then." Melchiorri's jeweled and shimmering leaf, a world after our own image, waits in its glass case like the rarest of flowers.
1 "All the World's Futures: The 56th International Art Exhibition" opened at the Giardini della Biennale and at the Arsenale, Venice, on May 9 and remains on view through November 22, 2015.

Edward Hall introduces Race
Posted on 20 May 2013.
Posted in: HT Blogs
I read David Mamet's Race soon after joining Hampstead – it had just opened on Broadway – and immediately knew I wanted to produce it here. But I also knew – having met David when I directed his Edmond with Kenneth Branagh at the National Theatre – that we would have to earn the right to give the UK premiere.
In 2011, as we were reshaping Hampstead, we received a complimentary copy of Theatre: Mamet's brilliant, trenchant and argumentative book of ideas about our art form. The book influenced – consciously or otherwise – aspects of the revived Hampstead: the way we use Downstairs, the play-by-play approach to marketing, the absurdly small staff focussed exclusively on work on stage… Some of this was driven by pragmatism – the situation was perilous and we needed to break a cycle of failure, so our eventual model shares many characteristics with the Commercial Theatre. But Mamet challenges the role of subsidy in theatre altogether – he argues that it can sometimes reduce a theatre's dependence on the approval of its audiences, and can turn Creatively-driven institutions into Administratively-driven ones.
That doesn't happen in the UK – where as almost everybody knows Government support generates a handsome return on investment whilst releasing rather than stifling creativity. And at Hampstead, where our grant comes nowhere near covering even our overhead, we can obviously only survive with the Public's approval and support – as ticket buyers, Patrons and Friends. In the last financial year our Main Stage work from Chariots to Longing played to an average 98.2% occupancy, whilst Downstairs work consistently sold out and we comfortably exceeded our Development target. But it's not enough: there is no possible model for a theatre of this scale without subsidy, and you cannot run it more efficiently than we do. So make no mistake, if the relentless bacon slicing of Arts Council grants (a further 1.09% just the other week) gets too close to the bone, we will close.
To prevent this attritional cutting becoming damaging, we can only turn to you to fill the gap. We recognise that we must continue to earn your confidence – but your confidence will obviously depend on our protecting the standard of Hampstead's work… Of course, we did eventually win David Mamet's confidence; sufficiently for him to agree to our doing his extraordinary play. Do enjoy its UK premiere – it's a major event.

While the manner in which this case has grabbed public attention is appalling - a breach of privacy, followed by anti-abortionists' publicity gimmicks - the issues it raises merit public discussion. However, the complicated questions that need to be resolved are actually emotional and personal. There are no simple moral imperatives here, nor can legislative rules provide the answer to such difficult cases as these.
The doctor who let this woman's story out in this way should be subjected by his hospital authorities to a breach of privacy disciplinary inquiry. Whether he intended or not, he has almost certainly inflicted additional emotional pain on a woman in that hospital's care. Every patient has a right to privacy in their medical affairs, but on a question such as this, where passionate views are held, and where manipulative pressure is easily exerted, patients deserve more protection than ever.
For those great emotion manipulators at the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child have been hard at work. And the hospital played into their hands. Taking out an injunction against the abortion of one of the foetuses, as SPUC did yesterday, was a disgraceful piece of publicity- seeking behaviour. SPUC did not even know at the time that the foetus had already been aborted. It and the rest of the pro-life camp can lobby all they like in legitimate ways to get the laws changed. But to play havoc with a vulnerable woman's life, just to make their political point, is unacceptable. The cash offers that SPUC and Life have publicised with such enthusiasm are, similarly, only tricks to provoke public attention.
But, now that this particularly difficult abortion has been bounced on to the agenda, it does enable a decent reflection on the problems that women and doctors face in deciding when an abortion is acceptable for social reasons. In more straightforward abortion cases, most of us already have a rough idea what we think - both about the appropriate legal framework and the personal ethics involved. Parliament rewrote the legislation only six years ago, the most important questions were well aired, the outcome was consistent with what we know about public opinion, and nothing has happened to suggest we need to revisit the law again.
The current legislative framework must remain in place. Nothing about the fact that there are twin foetuses involved undermines the principle of according choice to the woman involved and to her doctor, so long as existing rules and procedures are followed. The medical profession that agrees to and carries out abortions operates within strict guidelines, and according to both the spirit and the letter of the law. Of course, some women may later feel pain, ambivalence and regret about their decisions, but the current framework is the best and most constructive we can expect to operate. Only the individuals involved can really get to grips with the complex emotional and physical circumstances surrounding a pregnancy, and the myriad consequences following whatever that woman does. For the state (or political and religious lobby groups) to intervene in every case would be far more destructive, damaging and unethical.
For the most part, decisions about abortions do, indeed, take place in the privacy of the home and the doctor's surgery. Political life in Britain is not poisoned by the passions and the violence that rock the US over abortion. This is a great blessing, and a sign of mature politics; we should hope it stays this way.
So the woman who is pregnant with twins should be able to make her own private decision with her doctor about what to do. Should she decide, having considered all the alternatives, that she wants to abort one of the foetuses in her womb, neither the state, nor groups such as SPUC should be able to stop her.
But even the most ardent pro-choice supporters experience a twinge of unease about the idea of aborting one twin and not the other. Rationally, all the pro-choice arguments still hold. But there is something hard and strange about choosing between twins in this way.
It cannot be a simple or easy decision for any woman to make. Imagine it. Every day of the surviving child's life, this mother will be reminded that the other twin perished on her decision. As the child grows, she will have cope with the fact that she chose one rather than the other. And at some stage she must explain her decision, and the story of the missing twin to her son or daughter. Not for her the chance that other women have of putting their choices behind them: this choice will always be with her. The pain and confusion for mother and child could be immense. Aborting both twins might have been easier to cope with than the torment of losing one.
When someone such as Wendy Savage argues that she would resist aborting only one twin because of the psychological damage it might inflict on mother and child, it is worth taking stock. Dr Savage is a long-standing pro-choice advocate, as well as an experienced gynaecologist, and prominent feminist: she is not one to indulge in the knee-jerk simplistic reactions of anti-abortion campaigners.
Finally, a woman has taken a horrifically difficult decision. Wrong or right, she needs the medical profession's help to handle it. She does not need to be hounded by anyone, least of all pro-life fanatics.

The package is totally RIPPED open. My book is torn, scraped, and ripped! AND on top of all of this the mailman doesn't even have the decency to bring it to the door and show me. Instead he BENT and crammed the book into my mailbox.
I am currently outraged by this. It is bad enough our mailmen here are not professional in the past either.
If they aren't leaving packages in the grass ditch by the street they are destroying mail.It is RIDICULOUS.

Tony Blair will order a £30m bail-out for the Millennium Dome tomorrow by approving a cash-in-advance bid by Dome Europe to take over the site and develop it as an entertainment park, with the Yellow Submarine among its attractions.
Tony Blair will order a £30m bail-out for the Millennium Dome tomorrow by approving a cash-in-advance bid by Dome Europe to take over the site and develop it as an entertainment park, with the Yellow Submarine among its attractions.
Ministers have been warned that the Dome operator, the New Millennium Experience Company, could run out of cash within weeks, in spite of assurances that a £29m injection of funds from the lottery in May would be enough to keep it open until the end of the year.
Financial reports seen by the Independent on Sunday show that it could cost the taxpayer £200m to allow NMEC to go insolvent, increasing the pressure on the Prime Minister to keep the Dome open.
Part of the down payment of £75m - offered by the Dome Europe consortium, which is backed by Nomura, a Japanese bank - will be used to keep the Dome afloat until the end of the year, thus avoiding a humiliating embarrassment for Labour.
The deal has been stalled for a week by haggling between the Government and NMEC over the "carve up" of the proceeds from the sale. English Partnerships, which owns the land, is also seeking a cut.
NMEC has been told that no more money will be available from the sale. The dire state of NMEC's finances caused dismay last week at a meeting of the Millennium Commission.
Pierre-Yves Gerbeau, the chief executive brought in from France to rescue the Dome, repeated assurances yesterday that NMEC would not need any more lottery funds, but members of the commission do not believe NMEC's figures for future demand. "Our estimates have always been different, and they have been right," said a commission source.
The commission's financial monitoring officers were placed inside NMEC under the tough agreement hammered out when the company obtained its last injection of lottery cash. The officers have warned the commission that NMEC would be millions of pounds short well before the end of the year.
The commissioners, who include Chris Smith, the Secretary of State for Culture, and Michael Heseltine, the former Tory minister who launched the Dome idea, have made it clear to ministers that they want to wash their hands of the project next week, when a new owner is adopted. "We have come to the point where the lottery should no longer be involved," said the source.
Ministers are still insisting that the show has been a hit. "It is still the biggest attraction in Europe and it won't close before the end of the year," said a government source.
Members of the Commission privately discussed allowing NMEC to raise a loan from the asset value of its unique building to avoid the Dome closing down, but that has been dismissed by ministers involved in the crisis talks. The commission is demanding the repayment of £13m to pour back into the lottery funds.
NMEC denied reports last night that it had called in lawyers from Simmons and Simmons, a City firm, to advise on insolvency. It insisted the firm had been hired three months ago to provide "corporate governance advice" before applying for a grant from the commission in May.
The Commons Select Committee on Culture, chaired by Labour MP Gerald Kaufman, is expected to agree a toughly worded report tomorrow criticising NMEC's financial control of the Dome. There will be an outcry if there is any attempt at a "whitewash" by the Labour majority on the committee.
Doubts remain over NMEC's business plan, which assumes that visitor numbers will go up in December. Commission members fear the numbers will actually fall if the public believe the show will improve when the new company takes over.Reuse content

Before you purchase a new-to-you motorcycle, checking the title history of the bike is a good idea. The title of your potential new motorcycle will provide you with the history of the bike, including any accidents it's been in, whether or not it's been salvaged and how many owners the bike has had in its life. This information is pertinent before making a purchase to ensure you aren't purchasing a lemon, or a vehicle that has experienced extensive damage.
Locate the title of history of your motorcycle by visiting the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS). The NMVTIS allows you to check the title history of any vehicle, including motorcycles.
View the list of approved service providers working with the NMVTIS and choose one from which to obtain your motorcycles title history. Click on the link to the service you want.
Enter the motorcycle's identification number, your credit card information to pay the title search fee--which is different at every company but never more than a few dollars, and submit your inquiry.
Read the title history of your motorcycle. All of the information pertaining to the history of the motorcycle will be listed for you to see, including whether or not the bike has been in any accidents, floods or salvaged.
Tips & Warnings
- You can also request a title history from your local Department of Motor Vehicles by visiting their offices and asking.

UN Security Council Resolution 1227 of 10 February emphasised that the OAU Framework Agreement (FA) is the basis for peaceful resolution of the conflict, and demanded an immediate end to the hostilities.
Eritrea accepted the FA in a letter of 27 February to the UN Secretary- General.
The chair of the OAU, President Blaise Compaore, sent a mission to Asmara at the end of April, and the Eritreans reiterated their commitment to the FA. Out of the blue on 10 June the Eritrean Mission to the UN was handed a letter from President Compaore, dated 20 May, endorsing Ethiopia's demand that Eritrea must withdraw from "all occupied Ethiopian territories".
The delineation of the boundary between the two states is a matter for an international commission, and cannot be settled now on the basis of Ethiopian claims.
It is urgently necessary that the Security Council takes a more active role in stopping this destructive and futile war. Perhaps the Secretary- General could visit Asmara and Addis Ababa, and appeal for the immediate implementation of the ceasefire demanded by the Security Council in February.

A. Brain cell death does occur as soon as we're born, although these cells are replaced by new ones. But after the age of 20, dying cells are not replaced and the brain starts to lose about a gram of its weight per year. This must mean that some of the 100 billion nerve cells duplicate tasks, otherwise we wouldn't function very well by the time we reached 70.
Q. What is the fastest thing on earth?
A. It all depends on what you mean by thing. Here are some very fast things you can find on this planet, so take your pick.
1. Light. Nothing can move faster than light. It travels at 186,000mph.
2. A spacecraft. Both the Russian space station Mir and the US Space Shuttle orbit the earth at about 25,000mph. But, then, they're not actually on the earth.
3. Birds. It is very difficult to measure how fast a bird flies. Birds swoop all over the sky rather than fly in straight lines. But the spine- tailed swift has been measured by Russian scientists at 106mph. The fastest bird in Britain is the peregrine falcon, with a dive speed of 82mph.
4. The cheetah. It is thought to be the fastest animal on land. Its fastest recorded speed is 51mph, though many scientists think it can go as fast as 60mph.
Q. Why do we itch?
A. Itching is an early warning that the body has come into contact with a noxious substance. We itch because we release a substance called histamine from "mast" cells in the skin's connective tissue. Histamine binds to special receptors on local nerve endings, causing the sensation of itching. This reflex can be stimulated by various irritants. People with allergies overproduce histamine in response to a substance that may not affect other people. A good example is pollen and hay fever.
Q. Why doesn't the stomach dissolve itself?
A. Mucus produced by goblet cells in the stomach wall forms a protective layer. This stops the pepsin and hydrochloric acid from breaking through the stomach tissue. If this protection is not effective - for example, if there's an uncovered portion of lining, or the covering is thin - the gastric juices can attack the mucosa and an ulcer can form.
Q. Why do people get bags under their eyes?
A. Nobody seems to know - not even the Quaker Labs in the US, which do research into fluid balance within the body. One idea is that the loose tissue under the eye swells as a result of a drop in blood pressure.
Q. What is the lowest intensity of light that the human eye can detect?
A. A single photon of light is enough to cause a rod in the human eye to fire. Rods are one of the eye's two types of light-detecting cell. The other type, the cone, is used to detect colour and needs to be exposed to several photons before it is activated. This is why rods are more important than cones for vision in low light conditions. Cones don't work well enough to allow us to see colours at night.
