The look of wealth
"Generation Wealth" Exhibition by Lauren Greenfield at ICP Museum
What Kim Kardashian and Tupac Shakur have in common is fame, money and a penchant for showing it off.
They were also both photographed in the early 1990s by photojournalist and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield, who is perhaps best known for her 2012 documentary "Queen of Versailles." Both celebrity icons feature in Greenfield's book and an accompanying exhibition "Generation Wealth," currently at the International Center of Photography Museum on the Bowery.
"Generation Wealth" showcases 25 years of Greenfield's work documenting these changing values vis-à-vis material wealth in American life and abroad.
Greenfield recently suggested that the rise of reality television and social media in the roughly 25 years since those images were taken helped spawn a generation of kids who want to be two things when they grow up: rich and famous.
The Los Angeles-raised artist's first, and perhaps most innocent, project, "Fast Forward," captures the spectrum of experience among L.A.'s youth in the '90s, affected as they were even then by the culture of money and Hollywood. Opening with sunny images of teenagers driving up California's Pacific Coast Highway, the photo series unfurls to reveal shadier sides of the sun-filled coast: drug abuse, cultural appropriation, and preoccupation with appearances underlying the lives of children and young adults coming of age in the City of Angels. The obsession with money and looks in this formative series presages Greenfield's subsequent explorations into celebrity culture, eating disorders, plastic surgery, grotesque wealth and material destitution.
Curated by the artist herself, the collection chronicles the perversion and degradation of the human experience in the last quarter-century through people's increasing deification of the superficial. The images, vivid in color and graphic in content, provoke a visceral reaction in the viewer who cannot escape recognizing the contemporary values at play.

Pharmacovigilance jobs
Expectations of the pharmaceutical applicant
Those who need to pursue work in the pharmaceutical industry are required to have a medical degree or perhaps an equivalent qualification in daily life sciences, nursing or pharmacy. Further studies such as postgraduate qualifications may be advantageous for any candidate needing to pursue a profession in the market.
jobs in pharmacovigilance
Some institutions of higher education give a Master's degree specialising in Pharmacovigilance, that's highly valued by a lot of employers from the pharmaceutical industry. The course provides students with vital knowledge and knowledge of what a career in the market entails, including example of risk assessment, report writing and signal detection. Students also find out about existing regulatory authorities.
Experience is important when getting in advance of other candidates fighting to get a position in drug safety and Pharmacovigilance. Observing and partaking in the industry first-hand being a placement student, or perhaps shadowing a nurse or pharmacist demonstrates an applicant's interest and willingness to work in a clinical background.
Careers in Pharmacovigilance
There are numerous roles and job titles in regulatory affairs. Employees would typically begin their career like a drug safety associate, scientist or coordinator with sight to succeed to specialty, senior and management positions in a particular section of Pharmacovigilance.
Medical writing, quality assurance and medical affairs are the main parts of focus for advanced employees; nevertheless these positions feature increased responsibility and require experience.
And if candidates are willing, there are numerous opportunities abroad focusing upon drug safety. These are generally positions in larger companies so offer further scope for progression into authoritative roles.
The yearly salary for the career in Pharamcovigilance may differ substantially, but earnings usually fall relating to the figures of �25,000 and �60,000 each year. This depends greatly on factors such as the regulatory body, location, experience and position of responsibility.
Kinds of jobs within the pharmaceutical industry
Drug safety officers have the effect of tracking and observing reactions and effects during drug trials and studies. An investigation on the study is usually to be listed in regulatory authorities, once the report continues to be submitted drug safety managers must organise and evaluate the reports to evaluate the profile of specific medication products.
Drug safety physicians assess and attain details about the security from the products. They're also needed to execute medical case reviews and evaluate product safety during clinical trialling.
Many pharmaceutical jobs are either permanent or contract agreements; with impermanent positions usually lasting between three to twelve months.

There's this thing for public transport in Wuppertal (Germany) called the #Schwebebahn, in operation since 1901, which is quite awesome. Beware, I may get excited tooting about it, so I'll continue with CWs 🛤👌
Schwebebahn, food Show more
I'm on location having flammkuchen and a beer. While in Germany...
Back to the Schwebebahn: it's a suspended monorail, which means the wagons hang below the rail, and the propulsion mechanism and traction wheels are overhead. It has always been electric since its inception. The track runs mostly along the river, and it often passes above roads, ground level train tracks and even a motorway.
Schwebebahn Show more
The track is over 13km, and the full journey (one way) takes about 30 minutes, which makes it quite speedy for 1901. Due to the wagons being suspended, they swing naturally on the curves due to centrifugal force, and they come back to their vertical solely by gravity—this makes the Schwenebahn probably the first "pendular" (or "tilting") train designs, way before Pacific Railways tried the first "pendulum cars" in the 1940s.
Schwebebahn Show more
Some numbers:
- 80.000 passenger rides on weekdays.
- 25 million passenger rides per year.
- 19.000 tonnes of steel were originally used for the support frame and stations.
- Ran originally on 600V DC, changed to 750V when the current trains were introduced in 2011.
- The system has used three main different train designs: originals until the 1970s, second until 2016. Each design has had a a few iterations, summing up to a total of 15 different generations.
- 1 single fatal accident
Schwebebahn Show more
The Wuppertal Schwebebahn is the only urban suspension railway in Europe. Transportation buffs may want to stop by and ride it next time they visit good ol' Europe. If you arrive to the Düsseldorf airport you will have the chance of riding the airport's "sky train"—a suspension railway as well, but much less impressive due to it being modern, and much smaller. On the other hand, the airport's is fully automated and doesn't have a driver, and that's cool, too.
Schwebebahn Show more
Okay, I'm shutting up about this for today. Tomorrow I'll take it during the day time and I'll try to make a couple of shirt videos. Now it's 😴 time.
Schwebebahn Show more
There's a segment of the Schwebebahn towards the Vohwinkel end of the line which goes over a street, not all of it is over the river.

Richardson was an obnoxious child.
At a very young age, Richardson knew that he wanted to be an actor. And he wasn't shy about it. Whether he was running onto the stage of a local theater performance (he wasn't in the show) or giving his mother a reason to disappear into a world of silent sighs and QVC binge shopping by incessantly belting out showtunes and Soul Asylum, little Richardson was determined to let the world know that he was there to perform.
When the area community and dinner theaters proved to not be enough for him, he enrolled in the Baltimore School for the Arts, a high school 45 minutes away from his home in Bel Air.
That's Bel Air, Maryland, folks. Calm down.
(Sidenote: Jada Pinkett went to his high school and some theater kids called him the fresh prince of Bel Air when he was actually playing a prince. That's 2, Will Smith. 2.)
2 years of taking a commuter bus with sleeping business people was enough for Richardson, so he got a job serving fish at the harbor, hon, and moved into a studio right by school. Unfortunately, it kept getting robbed, so he moved out to Pikesville with some buddies and very few possessions.
After high school, he spent a few glorious years in Chicago before moving to NYC. Terrified, he drove a Uhaul over the Brooklyn bridge and scaled the fire escape of his new South Williamsburg apartment building after locking the keys inside his new home upon initial entry.
He earned a B.A. in theater performance from Fordham College at Lincoln Center and hit the New York theater scene. He played a mental patient, a dying man, and a suicidal priest. Something had to change.
Richardson's next stop was San Francisco to attend American Conservatory Theater's M.F.A. acting program. After his 2nd night of sleeping on a blow up mattress in his new studio in the "charming" Tenderloin district, Richardson woke up to a fire alarm. Apparently the meth lab 2 floors down had caught on fire.
In grad school, Richardson fell in love with comedy. He studied clowning and movement and singing. In acting class he played the fools of Shakespeare and Pinter. He created a mostly naked clown named Beastie and a transgender maid who changed her accent depending on who she was talking to. On the mainstage, he had the wonderful opportunity to play opposite Bill Irwin in his production of Scapin! as Sylvestre, his dimwitted sidekick.
Richardson now lives in Los Angeles where he still studies at places like Steppenwolf West, Upright Citizens Brigade and The Groundlings while working in film and television. Check out the News section to hear about his latest gigs!

I work with Drew and Jason, not just for the quality of their products, but also for the educative approach they take to their business. Learning about the process that goes into what it takes to create a truly custom tailored suit is one thing, however experiencing it with the approach Harper & Jones has developed is another. My understanding of the importance of what it means to feel truly comfortable in a suit has also been greatly enhanced. In my line of work, which is in the corporate employee benefits industry, I always want to be as comfortable and prepared as I can be for my clients, so that they have the same experience that I have when I do business with the team at Harper & Jones. Also, having them meet me wherever is most convenient for me makes the process that much easier. Thanks, guys!
It has been great working with Drew and Brittany for the fact that as a bigger guy who tends to destroy pants often, it's important to me that my clothier is never more than a text or phone call away. They have been like family and I have been honored to be able to bring them into the office knowing that they will treat my partners with the same enthusiasm they treat me with.
The best thing about my experience with Drew is the personal touch he adds to the experience. He makes it about the client rather than his own business and each appointment feels very one-on-one. The details that go into every piece of the Harper & Jones process are what really make it impressive and one of a kind. Now that Drew takes care of me, I get compliments all the time. People tell how much they like my suits and ask me where they're from.

i would be a tigress because they are strong, beautiful and fierce (channelling tyra banks right now). They walk with such grace, hunt until they get exactly what they want and wear their beautiful fur with pride. Tigress's remind me of Anna Wintour, they have a strength in their soul, they are a force to be reckoned with when they are in the midst of their true passion (fashion for Anna, hunting for tigress) and with one look they can have people silenced, scared and shaking.

I would defiantly be a leopard, their vibrant and hypnotising pattern has taken the fashion world by storm. (I am trying to find some leopard print wedges, so if you know any places that sell them, let me know.) Leopards have a timid and shy personality when they stalk their pray just like Miranda Kerr or Abbey Lee Kershaw. They suddenly strike, pounce and take a sudden turn into a wild and fierce personality like Kate Moss or Rumi Neely.
P.s love the blog and good luck for the future :) xx

I would be a flamingo I think... They're so unbelievably queer looking and I adore that awfully so! Also, I received a splendidly divine triwa watch for christmas called the flamingo... so I am slightly obsessed with this bird currently. Also! Have you seen the kanye west film clip (the 34 minute one) with the phoenix? The girl coated in feathers resembles a flamingo! And it is lovely! And I desperately would like to walk around in that costume however I would be arrested for indecency in public. None the less it would be superbly fashionable. Really, all in all, I've come to realise these past few days that flamingos are incredibly fashionable creatures! Their stunning long legs, their pastel colouring, and of course feathers! Can they be any more idyllic? I really think not.
Please pretty please may I have one of these gorgeous dresses! I think if I wear it along with an outrageous feather headband sitting on my desk I may achieve some flamingo qualities. And I would love that.

I would be a butterfly, because they are carefree and individual. Sometimes such an emphasis can be put on being styled to suit other people, or following popular trends so that others will think that you fall into a normal category. What i believe people forget is that a part of fashion is actually to style yourself to your individual fashion sense, we should be the ones setting the trends not following them. Love what you love without hesitation. And i believe that a butterfly does this. Their wings carry the most beautiful, colourful, and individual print. Each stripe, spot, or splash of colour is created by you, and not one single butterfly in the whole world will ever have the same print as you nor will they be able to copy it. Its yours forever, and it looks best on you because you created it from birth.
Two fashion icons who i believe completely embodies a butterfly's sense of fashion are Theodora Richards, and Rumi Neely. Both follow the basic principles of fashion styling, however they add their owns twists, eclectic interpretations and prints you would not normally see in any conventional shop. By doing this it is like they both have created their own individual print that no other will ever have.
Wouldn't that be the best? To have your own individual print, your own stripe, spot, and splash, that no body else but you would own. I know thats what i would want, i would want to be a butterfly.

I would be an eagle. Like the mysterious & majestic leader of the sky, I am forever watching & waiting for the next irrestible morsel of style/trend/inspiration to reveal itself to me so that I can swoop down on it and snatch it up with my steely claws. The keen eye-sight, fierce beauty and utter self-confidence that an eagle beholds are revered qualities in the fashion industry and qualities that I myself aspire towards.

Over on Ravelry the over-achievers are doing "11 Shawls in 2011".
It's a group and you can join.
To date there are over 4500 zealots signed on for the challenge. If you don't belong to Ravelry, sign up and join over a million of your fellow fiber artists from beginners to expert. And if you're feeling frisky you can be part of the shawl madness.
I mention this because I decided to make A shawl. One. Just one. And that's where the trouble started. Did you know there are thousands of shawl patterns? It's pretty amazing when you consider there are just so many stitches to combine. Barbara Walker might disagree.
I wanted something in lace, seeing as how I have over 10,000 yards of laceweight yarn I've been hoarding. And I wanted something that wouldn't force me to lock myself in a room with some food, a lamp and a pottie for several weeks. It's a shawl, not monastic vows.
I flirted with nupps, considered one of the mind-numbing Goddess Knits patterns (I bow before her greatness), thought about something with weird shaping, and discarded anything that would drag on the ground and make me look like my sainted grannie. This narrowed the field to under a thousand or so.
A 'shawl' vs. a 'shawlette' came next. A 'shawl' is a 'shawlette' on steroids and the size allows you to incorporate more design elements while providing additional opportunities to mutter to yourself. And it's pretty damned spectacular when you're done (IF you're ever done).
Sure a 'shawlette' is smaller and quicker and a small work of art. But. Ever notice that photos of models in the mags and books wearing some shawlette or other lead you to believe you'll actually look like that when you put the finished product on? They lie.
Don't get me going on a rant about models. At least not today.
After all the pickiness, here's my bottom-line criteria: the patterns have to hang together and it has to have a great border and some stuff around the neckline would be terrific too. And I have to be able to curse and swear my way through it in maybe two months. And it would be nice if I came across it in a book or the designer is offering it for free on a website or blog. If you think my 'criteria' sounds goosey you're right.
It's like looking at art: I'll know it when I see it.
The winner? The Orchid Thief Shawlette by Ysolda Teague. I found it at the library in the book, Brave New Knits. It's a beauty. And if you haven't cruised your local library for craft books, get on over there. The pattern calls for sock yarn but you can fiddle with that and the color. Even better.
I promise to haunt you with this until it's done. But before I go into my secret Cold War-era lace knitting bunker and bomb shelter combo until this thing is finished, just so you know, I'll be sending out updates here on the blog.
Meantime, who else is knitting or crocheting a shawl? I've got another cot over in the bunker.

text: I have been on .232 since it leaked and was confirmed to be fx-able. I was one of those who forgot a step in the Samuri-HOB (KUDOS out to Samuri on the HOB by the way - you are a digital Jedi...) and didn't clear the cache, and experienced some problems. I FDR'd the Bionic, fx's back to 905 and reinstalled .232 the RIGHT way and I have had nothing but clear sailing. Now the question: with the prospect of the soak-test and possible OTA coming soon, I planned on FDR'ing and installing the OTA from scratch upon release. However, would it be recommended to start from scratch with reinstalling all apps and program data, or could one restore program data from Titanium Backup (provided the backup was performed on the .232 release)? Thanks. -Sleeh


text: In homage to the days when gas was cheap and family fun was a Sunday drive in the country, author and illustrator provide readers with an elegiac outing in which children do not whine or get car sick. The day includes whizzing past fields, shopping at farm stands, blowing milkweed seeds, playing car games (when you pass a graveyard, lift both feet off the floor) and singing songs whose words are only half remembered. In perfect harmony with the author's idyllic reminiscence, Burckhardt's handsome acrylic-on-board illustrations have a primitive yet retro sensibility with a subtly crackled surface and predominating palette of turquoise and Granny Smith–green. Ribbons of country road thread through the pages unifying the pleasant whole. Question the accuracy of rear-seat shoulder harnesses, but don't question the essential meaning: "the only place we wanted to go was Together, just our family, and a Sunday drive in the country took us there." (Picture book. 5-8)

Clint Eastwood's Leonardo DiCaprio-toplined "J. Edgar" also enters the market, going after adults, and Lars Van Trier's "Melancholia" opens at the specialty box office.
Worries over the sluggish domestic box office continue as Veteran's Day weekend gets underway, bringing three high-profile films -- Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving family comedy Jack and Jill, Henry Cavill fantasy action-epic Immortals and Clint Eastwood's Leonardo DiCaprio starrer J. Edgar.
Tracking suggests that Relativity Media's Immortals and Sony's Jack and Jill will gross in the low $20 million to $25 million range, give or take, for a potentially close contest. With the unpredictable marketplace, either could overperform -- or come in below expectations. And don't rule out DreamWorks Animation and Paramount's Puss in Boots, which should gross in the low $20 million range.

Puss in Boots came in No. 1 for the past two weekends, and saw the lowest second-weekend drop of all time for a non-holiday title, grossing $33 million last weekend after opening to $34.1 million. The 3D toon has grossed $80.9 million domestically through Wednesday, and should cross $100 million sometime over the weekend.
Jack and Jill and Puss in Boots -- both rated PG -- should benefit on Friday from kids being out school because of Veteran's Day.

Stil, Jack and Jill is expected to come in lower than many of Sandler's comedies, with Sony citing the general downturn in moviegoing. Most of the actor's films are rated PG-13, while his last PG film was Bedtime Stories (that pic opened just north of $27 million). In Jack and Jill, Sandler plays both a brother and his twin sister who are reunited over Thanksgiving.
Jack and Jill cost $80 million to produce, and Sony is counting on Sandler's track record for lasting legs at the box office. The film is showing strong interest among younger females and males.
COVER STORY: The Making of 'J. Edgar'
Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity, which fully financed and produced Immortals, is counting on fanboys to buoy the violence-laced R-rated film, a fantasy adventure along the same lines as box office hit 300. Immortals, a key test for Relativity, cost $75 million to produce after tax rebates.
Immortals scored high marks in test screenings, and also stars Stephen Dorff, Isabel Lucas, Kellan Lutz, Freida Pinto and Luke Evans. The pic opens day and date in a number of key territories, including China (through Relativity's co-venture with Skyland), Germany, Italy, the U.K., South Korea, Japan and South Korea.

Relativity insiders say Immortals only has to open to $25 million for the company to be on sound financial footing, since so much of the budget was financed through foreign presales.
Warner Bros. is projecting a $10 million to $12 million opening forJ. Edgar, which is in the wheelhouse for Eastwood's films. The biopic of the legendary F.B.I. chief also stars Armie Hammer, and opened to good numbers Wednesday as it debuted in seven theaters in five cities in advance of Friday's nationwide opening. The move is designed to spark word of mouth and trigger reviews, which have been mixed.
Overseas, in addition to Immortals, Sony opens Arthur Christmas in the U.K. this weekend in advance of the movie's domestic debut Thanksgiving week.
At the domestic box office, Magnolia opens Lars Von Trier's Kristin Dunst-led Melancholia, while IFC opens Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley crime drama London Boulevard in select theaters.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The latest in a hearing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is conducting on the agreement the United States and five other world powers struck this month with Iran to rein in its nuclear weapons program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions (asterisk)(all times local):
11:54 a.m.
Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California is chiding her Republican colleagues on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for saying Secretary of State John Kerry and representatives of the other world powers that negotiated or approved the nuclear agreement with Iran were "fleeced" and "bamboozled" by Tehran.
Boxer recited a list of nations around the world that back the deal and said her Republican colleagues were being disrespectful.
Boxer told Kerry that if he were "bamboozled, the world was bamboozled."
Republican Sen. Bob Corker, the committee's chairman, said in his opening statement that Kerry was "fleeced" and GOP Sen. James Risch of Idaho said he was "bamboozled."
Kerry praised members of the negotiating team and said nobody "pulled the wool" over their eyes.
11:28 a.m.
Republican Sen. Jim Risch is slamming the Iran nuclear deal.
The Idaho senator says that anyone who believes the accord is a good deal "really joins the ranks of the most naive people on the face of the earth."
Risch says it makes no sense to trust Iran to hold up its side of the deal. He addressed his comments to Secretary of State John Kerry, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who were seated at the witness stand Thursday on Capitol Hill.
Risch tells the Cabinet secretaries: "With all due respect, you guys have been bamboozled and the American people are going to have to pay for it."
11:18 a.m. EDT
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew is telling the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the United States' international partners that negotiated the nuclear deal with Iran would "balk" if the U.S. asked them to continue to impose economic sanctions without implementing the diplomatic solution reached with Tehran.
If that happened, Lew says, the U.S. would be left with neither a nuclear deal, nor any effective sanctions.
He says it is "unrealistic to think that additional sanctions pressure would force Iran to totally capitulate." And he says it's impractical to think the U.S. could marshal a global coalition of partners to impose such sanctions pressure after turning down a deal that the other world powers in the negotiation "believe is a good one."
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz(moh-NEES') is defending the Iran nuclear deal saying it is "pretty hard-nosed" and wasn't what Tehran had envisioned in the final deal.
Moniz tells the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: "This is not what Iran wanted."
He says "the deal is not built on trust. It's pretty hard-nosed." He's seeking to persuade skeptical lawmakers that the deal is in the U.S. national security interest.
Moniz adds that the agreement substantially roll backs Iran's nuclear program.
He says, "The deal is based on science and analysis. I'm confident that this is a good deal for America"
Secretary of State John Kerry is casting the choice on the Iran nuclear deal in stark terms — an agreement that would limit the Islamic nation's nuclear program, or no deal at all.
Kerry is testifying before a Senate committee as the Obama administration publicly defends the much-debated accord. The administration is facing unified Republican opposition and doubts among some Democrats.
Kerry also argues that if the deal is rejected, the diplomatic support the United States has garnered in recent years would evaporate.
He tells the panel: "It's a question of how do you hold their program back."
10:25 a.m.
The Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee tells Kerry point-blank that "you've been fleeced" by the Iranians in the recently completed nuclear agreement.
Kerry was greeted with applause from anti-war demonstrators as a handful of members from CodePink rose in the hearing room. But the mood turned critical immediately as Sen. Bob Corker, who heads the panel, gaveled the hearing to order.
Corker tells Kerry he's "fairly depressed" after listening to the secretary answer lawmakers' questions Wednesday about the agreement in a classified briefing.
Kerry is testifying with Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz (moh-NEES') and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew about the deal Congress is expected to vote on in September.

I was talking yesterday about how a company could make a loyal customer out of me by being the first to make a good-faith effort to clean up its own environmental mess. The example I used was a way to easily return CFL bulbs, which contain toxic mercury, for recycling and disposal in a non-crushable tube through the postal service.
(And by the way, a reader let me know that Good Magazine touted a similar idea of its own. The problem with that version, however, is that the packaging appears to be crushable, which is not so "good" when you're talking about mailing glass bulbs filled with toxins.)
Lots of folks wrote in with a variety of other CFL disposal schemes, but what I didn't include in my post yesterday is the aspect of the return-by-post idea that would be good for the business that implemented it: the development of a two-way relationship with customers. You see, if a company has us return our used products directly to it, then it has another chance at developing our loyalty.
I mention this for two reasons. First, I like the idea of the returnable product—not just for bulbs but for bottles and cars and electronics and many other things. A two-way relationship companies could depend on would allow them to design their products with disassembly and reuse in mind, which means (hopefully) less resources pulled from the earth and less pollutants pumped into it (returnability of some products is already mandated by law in Europe).
Second, companies may eventually begin taking responsibility for the environmental consequences of their products because it is the right thing to do, but I think they'll do it faster if they see that they can profit from it. And there is no question that returnable products and the two-way relationship offers selling opportunities. My point here is that doing the right thing for the planet may also mean doing the right thing for the bottom-line.

Microsoft introduced a new version of Windows 8.1
Millions of Google Reader users are preparing for its closure today
Diamond-studded phone 'Black Insane' goes on sale for £76,500
The collection of phones, called "Jardin Secret", includes 11 models that feature blue ostrich, black alligator and iguana leathers, as well as 18-carat gold and precious stones as decoration.
The models, which were assembled in the Chanel watch factory in Switzerland, are Italian designed and are mainly priced at £5,868 to £6,378, though the most expensive will cost £76,500.
Savelli will unveil the phones at Paris Couture Fashion Week in July and their debut collection will be exclusively sold in the jewellery rooms of Harrods, London, and Printempts, Paris.
Chief executive Alessandro Savelli told WWD that the aim was to create a phone unlike any currently on the market.
He said: "From a design perspective, this was the objective: creating a completely disruptive design which had nothing in common with any other phone which had ever been designed before.
"We wanted to create a shape that was feminine, curvaceous, but at the same time extremely modern."
The smartphones have a curved screen made from the sapphire crystal glass found in luxury watches, and French DJ Stéphane Pompougnac created the ringtones.
Savelli's website features descriptions of the phones, including: "The slender, curving Line of Grace. A timeless concept of feminine beauty."
Another description reads: "Sublime. Mesmerising materials abound. And astound. Bombe crystal sapphire. Strokeable napa leather. Glowing rose gold. Sparkling white diamonds."The Telegraph
Assange denounces US 'rhetoric' on danger of leaks
WASHINGTON: The founder of WikiLeaks on Sunday disputed assertions by US officials that disclosures by his anti-secrecy organization and fellow leaker Edward Snowden have put lives at risk.
Julian Assange, in an interview with ABC television, was asked to respond to recent remarks by US Secretary of State John Kerry that people could die as a consequence of explosive revelations by Snowden, the fugitive former National Security Agency contractor who blew the lid on vast US phone and Internet surveillance programs. Other US officials have repeatedly made the same assertion.
"We have heard this rhetoric. I myself was subject to precisely this rhetoric two, three years ago. And it all proved to be false," Assange said.
"We had this terrible discussion about — which even exists in some of the tabloid press today — about it causing harm, but not a single US government official, no one from the Pentagon, any government, said any of our revelations in the past six years caused anyone to come to physical harm," he said.
"And the revelations by Snowden, these are even more abstract."
Assange spoke from the Ecuadoran embassy in London where he has been holed up for a year to avoid being sent to Sweden. He is wanted there for questioning linked to rape allegations.
The activist fears that if he is handed over to Scandinavian country, he will be passed onto the United States over a huge trove of sensitive leaks — diplomatic cables and Iraq and Afghanistan war logs — several years ago that left Washington red faced.
Assange and others linked to WikiLeaks are currently assisting Snowden, who caused an uproar with disclosures of secret US documents related to the surveillance programs.
Washington issued a warrant for the 30-year-old's arrest and revoked his passport in the wake of the leaks. But so far he has eluded US authorities, first in Hong Kong and, for the past week in the transit area of a Moscow airport.
He has asked Ecuador to grant him asylum but the South American country says it cannot consider the request unless he is actually in the country.
In the ABC interview, Assange called Snowden a "hero" and said it was "not acceptable" that US Vice President Joe Biden personally called Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa Friday to "pressure" him to reject Snowden's asylum request.
"The situation now with Edward Snowden is sensitive," Assange said. "It's a matter of international diplomatic negotiations."
The Australian also suggested more Snowden leaks were forthcoming.
"There is no stopping the publishing process at this stage," Assange said. "Great care has been taken to make sure that Mr. Snowden can't be pressured by any state to stop the publication process."AFP
Developers have created Snowden's Leaks game
LONDON: Developers have created a game named Snowden's Leaks that allows you to control Edward Snowden, the man who worked as a systems administrator at a U.S. National Security Agency facility in Hawaii and leaked details about secret surveillance programs to the news media, virtually.
In Snowden's leaks, you play as whistleblower Edward Snowden and copy all data from NSA's computers with a USB drive, without being caught on security cameras, or by NSA agents and Obama. The game lets you "hide behind paintings, flags and curtains" and also "distract security by throwing some tasty donuts".thenewstribe.com

PK @ Schools!
There are genres of cinema and then there is this Raju Hirani genre which keeps things pretty simple for all of its patrons. Raju has completed a decade since when he delivered his first directorial masterpiece in Munna Bhai MBBS & had directed just 3 of them in all before conceiving his current offering.
Like his name, all of Raju's work is always effortless and soothing. It never fails to dial the 'right' number with the audience and there never is a dull moment throughout the entire length of his brand of 'Panchatantra' stories. Seldom would they be laced with cinematographic brilliance or special effects that other less accomplished filmmakers (are obliged to) inject in their otherwise substandard works.
PK is yet another superbly cured wine from this simpleton's winery which took no less than five years of ageing in the casks before being finally found worthy of getting served to its restless connoisseurs! Its smooth blend hits you hard when you are still relishing its sweet aroma while sipping it gently like there is no other nectar that could enbalm your wounded nerves!
I am not for star / hero worshipping and for all his well advertized (and even better paid) works for social causes I in fact started doubting if there is any genuine intent behind them but thankfully that dilemma just can't take away the merits in Aamir's portrayal of any of his characters on silver screen. He has indisputably been the finest 'commercial' actor for the last quarter of century. In PK also, with his 'gaped' eyes, protruding ear lobes, unabashedly donned clown-like wardrobe and never seen before mannerisms he brings the alien to life and makes him so realistically believable.
It was a real pleasant surprise to find one of the finest actors of yesteryears Parikshit Sahni making his presence felt in a small yet powerful role. All others including Sanjay Dutt, Sushant Singh, Saurabh Shukla & Boman Irani play their parts with elan but Anushka managed to surprise for the simple reason that she didn't get to enact such light yet sensitive roles ever!
Though it might look more than merely inspired by "Oh My God!" PK stands out in originality quotient for its script which glides the viewer on its feathery narration.
Only a Raju Hirani could afford to crack jokes on condoms and downplay an otherwise not-so-aesthetic looking (and sounding) visual as "dancing car" without making a mother least uncomfortable while her young kid is going insane over the interwoven comedy. Just don't miss this unmistakably delightful pudding. I won't mind treating myself with another helping.
Now, if I were to be PK for just one day I would undoubtedly like to review the security apparatus of the schools. I am sure that they are not so callous anyway but the last Tuesday's tragedy across the border has numbed even the heartless souls and if ever there was a need to make wholesome changes in the way our young generation's temples of learning ensure their impregnability, it is NOW!
While I don't wish to sound pompous on the subject for my knowledge of the subject (security @ schools) is zilch I strongly believe that for the sheer unpredictability of any unenvisaged horror it is mighty impossible to render a fool-proof status to the security of even a school that charges top dollar from its patrons.
Given the underlying practical & logistical challenges while protecting our hapless children from the onslaught of any evil powers it is worth while to explore means and methods to minimize the damage should such a heinous eventuality were to ever unfold anywhere. A labyrinth like access (Chakravyuh of Mahabharata) for the school premises is the need of the hour. For all the routine inconvenience it might entail there is no better way to keep a better vigil on the surroundings than to have a single entry point (of course the exits have to be as many as is possible). Once this is ensured the next line of defense is to make the advance alert mechanism as swift & efficient to cover the last mile connectivity in a seamless manner.
Some food for thought to ponder (or laugh) over!

Lil Dicky is rising to the top of the rap game, and he's doing it his way.
The 27-year-old rapper from Cheltenham, Pennsylvania evolved from a YouTube hit to a professional emcee overnight when he dropped his first studio album Professional Rapper. His opening track, which featured Snoop Dogg, made waves across the country for showcasing the true ceiling on just how good he could be.
Since then, Lil Dicky, whose real name is David Burd, has drawn national attention for his latest (and possibly greatest) video, $Ave Dat Money. The video is a hilarious rewrite of most hip-hop music videos — Lil Dicky centers his attention on how to save money, rather than spend it lavishly. In the video, he goes around to mansion owners, Lamborghini dealerships, and night clubs asking for free contributions to his video. Amazingly, he succeeded enough to put together an epic, absolutely top notch music video, allegedly without spending a dime.
Featured in the video were Kevin Durant, Mark Cuban, the cast of Broad City, T-Payne, Tom Petty and Sarah Silverman. Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan also made it on the track.
But before we get to the video, let's look at some of his saving tips:
- Those margaritas not goin' on my card
- I ain't 'bout to split a damn thing for convenience sake
- I wear the same pair of jeans everyday
- Book flight December but I leave in May
- Drugs are generic but still work the same
- I get login's for Netflix from my cousin Greg
- I ain't parkin' that unless the meter green, homie
- Hair cut several months in-between, homie
- Coppin' sweaters in the summer with the sale on it
In order to get people to agree to contribute something to the video, Lil Dicky made the promise of linking any website or company they wanted at the end of the video. One such promise was made to a "Mrs. K," who let Lil Dicky use her mansion to film a good portion of the video. She had asked that he drop a link to make donations to Planned Parenthood, which he did.
Then, over this weekend, he posted this on Instagram:
