How the Gucci brand became a key player in the fashion and luxury bag industry
Gucci is one of the great fashion houses of Italian luxury. This multi-brand group has become one of the world leaders in luxury goods after a century of existence. A look back at the success story of the famous Italian company.
The Gucci story began in 1921 when Gucci decided to open his first shop in Florence. The son of a leather goods artist, Gucci had been involved in leather goods since childhood. It was while working at the Savoy Hotel in London that he developed his taste for London luxury and refinement. Inspired by the tastes and refinement of the London upper class, he imported the refinement of English travel kits to Italy. The brand began as a luggage manufacturer, producing luxury travel goods for Italy's wealthy upper classes, as well as equestrian equipment. In 1938, Gucci opened its first shop on Via Condotti in Rome and the brand soon attracted a distinguished international clientele. The brand continued to conquer the world and opened its first shop in New York in 1951. Gucci then became a real symbol in the American jet set. From the 1950s onwards, Gucci was a great success with wealthy travellers, Hollywood stars and a wealthy clientele who appreciated its extravagant and opulent designs. Guccio Gucci died in 1953, but the business continued under the direction of his sons.
The Italian house continued to prosper even without its founder and reached its peak in the 1960s. One of the founder's sons, Rodolfo, created the tricolour stripe, a Gucci trademark, which soon became one of the house's signatures. It was also at this time that the brand introduced its distinctive G-G monogram. Popular with celebrities, Gucci bags have been named after such stars as Jackie Kennedy, Samuel Beckett and Grace Kelly. The brand continued to expand and extended its empire to London in 1961 and Paris in 1963. The Italian fashion house continued to develop its products and released its first perfume in 1975. The first Gucci ready-to-wear show was held in Florence in 1981. In 1983, Rodolfo Gucci died and control was passed to his son, Maurizio.
The 1980s saw a reorganisation of the brand. Maurizio Gucci hired editor Dawn Mello and then the great designer and director Tom Ford, who restored the Gucci line to its former glory. Ford takes over the reins of the brand and begins a close collaboration with photographers such as Mario Testino and Steven Meisel. They focus on hard-hitting and highly provocative advertising campaigns. With Tom Ford, Gucci takes up the codes of the 90s, where men and women are wrapped in very sensual dresses with leather and fur details. Tom Ford's woman is far from the hippie style of the 70s and the eccentric style of the 80s, but it is a hyper-feminine woman where the watchword is stilettos. In 2004, Tom Ford presented his last collection with Gucci and was replaced by Frida Giannini.
In 2002 Frida Giannini joined Gucci as chief designer for leather goods, helping to expand the double G logo to its full potential. She achieved great success in 2004 with the Flora collection in which she offered summer accessories in the iconic floral print of the scarf designed by Vittorio Accornero for Grace Kelly in 1966. After taking over from women's designer Alessandra Facchinetti in 2005, Frida became the sole creative director of all the fashion house's lines in 2006. She had to deal with the aggressive, provocative and sensual style that Tom Ford had infused into the brand's aesthetic. This kind of Gucci woman was far from her sensibility, and it's no coincidence that her first show stunned everyone. Giannini brought a collection of two-tone Tommy-Hilfiger-inspired T-shirts to the catwalk and reintroduced prints to Gucci's monochrome world. During her tenure, Giannini increased the brand's sales by two-thirds and developed new categories, including fragrance and beauty. She has held the position of creative director since 2006 and is presenting a final collection at the Fall 2015 runway show.
The Gucci label continues to revolutionise the fashion world with its new androgynous collections.

Covid-19 Ireland: 51 deaths and 2,608 new cases as Health Minister says everyone will be vaccinated by September
532 people have passed away from the virus in January so far
Dr Tony Holohan (Image: Collins)
The Department of Health have announced 2,608 new cases of Covid-19 in Ireland today.
Sadly they are also reporting this evening that another 51 people have passed away from the virus meaning the total deaths in the month of January now stands at 532.
The median age of the deaths reported today is 80 years and the age range is 58-103 years.
Of the cases notified today:
1,230 are men / 1,346 are women
55% are under 45 years of age
The median age is 42 years old
1,019 in Dublin, 204 in Cork, 135 in Donegal, 132 in Galway, 131 in Kildare, and the remaining 987 cases are spread across all other counties.
As of 2pm today, 1,943 COVID-19 patients are hospitalised, of which 214 are in ICU. 105 additional hospitalisations in the past 24 hours.
Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said; "While we are making clear progress in reducing incidence we can see we still have a very large burden of infection – to illustrate this on Dec 1st, when we last eased restrictions, our 5 day moving average was 261 cases per day, today it is almost ten times that number at 2,430 cases per day.
"It is evident that the population is working as one to reduce contacts and interrupt further transmission of the disease.
"However, we are witnessing the effects of high levels of community transmission through our hospital and ICU admissions and reported deaths. We need to continue to work together to drive this infection down and bring the disease back under control."
Dr. Ronan Glynn, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said; "There have been 532 deaths so far in January and we can unfortunately expect this trend to continue over the coming days.
"Limiting contacts, keeping physical distance from others, hand hygiene, appropriate use of face coverings and general awareness about how your interactions could potentially spread infection will ultimately prevent further morbidity.
"Following public health advice will directly save lives."

Professor Philip Nolan, Chair of the NPHET Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group, said; "Incidence is gradually falling but remains very high across all age groups but particularly in those aged 85 and older.
"A considerable effort by all of us to cut down on contacts has resulted in the R number reducing to 0.5 - 0.8. We have to keep it below 1.0 if we are to successfully emerge out of this current wave."
Karina Butler, Chair of the National Immunisation Advisory Committee, said; "Vaccine arrival has been a real morale booster in hospitals and nursing homes. As we are able to roll it out to the wider community it will undoubtedly lift spirits.
"But please remember we are at a precarious time and if we drop our guard we could undermine our efforts to combat COVID-19. For now, we must stay the course, keep contacts to a minimum, stay home and follow public health advice."

Earlier today, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly signalled full steam ahead on Ireland's vaccination programme - and pledged to have the whole country covered by the end of the summer.
Minister Donnelly told the Dáil this morning that his department now has an ambitious target of all jabs being complete by September.
"We are planning our programme based on a supply of vaccines that would mean every citizen can be vaccinated by September," he said in a Q&A session on the latest developments.
"Vaccines are on the way and we as a nation are on our way."
As of last night, Up to last night 121,900 vaccines have been given to frontline healthcare workers and residents and staff in nursing homes.

from INQUIRER.net / 08:37 PM July 04, 2017
Lawmakers on Tuesday asked the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) and Manila Electric Company (Meralco) to explain the Power Supply Agreements (PSAs) which are allegedly "midnight contracts."
The House committee on good government and accountability started looking into the questionable contracts between ERC and the power generation companies affiliated with Meralco.
Acting on House Resolution 566 filed by Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate, the committee questioned the ERC for allegedly extending an order that allowed all distribution companies to conduct a competitive selection process (CSP) in procuring power supply.
Report said that the deadline was originally set for November 6, 2015, but was "mysteriously" moved to April 30, 2016.
With this extension, the Meralco was able to secure 20-year power supply agreements for its seven generation companies without public bidding.
"The ERC—supposedly the guardian of public interest, protector of the consumers against monopolization and cartelization, and promoter of competition and least cost power—however, mysteriously extended by five months the implementation of said DOE circular," Zarate said.
Zarate added that this suspicious ERC act effectively denied the consumers the benefit of competition and subjecting them once again to the presumably overpriced negotiated prices between Meralco and its affiliated generation companies;
BagongHenerasyon Rep. Bernadette Herrera-Dy, on the other hand, questioned the cost of contract, stressing that consumers will carry the burden of higher price of electricity.
The 20-year contracts would easily translate to P12.44 Billion a year, Herrera-Dy said.
Historically, Meralco data show that it pays its sister generators up to 20 percent (P1.00 per kwh) higher rates compared to unrelated generators, and, the difference between the rates from competitive bidding and self-negotiated rates at P0.50 per kwh.

Book Deals: Week of July 4, 2016
By Rachel Deahl |
Instagram Star Lands at Abrams
In a world English rights acquisition, Abrams's Samantha Weiner bought a book of cartoons by Emmet Truxes. The author is behind the popular Instagram account
@brooklyncartoons, a feed that the publisher described as "the millennial answer to the New Yorker's domination of pithy pictorial humor." Truxes's images, Abrams elaborated, "gently mock our social media addictions, dating woes, and all-too-relatable milestones and struggles." Sanford J. Greenburger agent Stephanie Delman represented Truxes.
Kang Gets 'Beautiful' at Lake Union
YA author Lydia Kang (Control) sold her debut adult novel, A Beautiful Poison, to Jodi Warshaw at Amazon Publishing's Lake Union Press imprint. Warshaw took world rights, in a two-book deal, from Eric Myers at Dystel & Goderich Literary Management. The novel is set in 1918 New York and follows three estranged friends who are each trying to solve a murder in their own life. They are doing so, Myers said, against the backdrop of World War I and the spread of the global flu epidemic.
Morris Dances to Penguin Press
Dancer and choreographer Mark Morris sold a currently untitled memoir, at auction, to Christopher Richards at Penguin Press. Morris is writing the book with novelist Wesley Stace (The Sound of His Own Voice), and, according to Penguin, it will be "a love letter to dance, music, and to the New York arts scene." Morris, who has an eponymous dance company, will detail his rise to become one of the leading figures of the modern dance movement, along with his creative process. Claudia Ballard at William Morris Endeavor brokered the deal for U.S., Canadian, and open-market rights.
Berkley Nabs Two Debuts
In the first of two deals for novels by first-time authors at Berkley, Cindy Hwang took North American rights, for six figures, to Anne Corlett's The Space Between Stars. Hwang preempted the book from its U.K. publisher, Pan Macmillan. The dystopian novel is set in a world where humans have colonized other planets and a pandemic has wiped out huge swaths of the civilization. Against this backdrop, the publisher explained, the heroine begins a "journey to return home to Earth in hopes of finding her estranged boyfriend." Berkley is comparing the book, which is slated for June 2017, to Emily St. John's Station Eleven and Michael Farber's The Book of Strange New Things.
In the second acquisition, Kate Seaver nabbed North American rights, in a two-book deal at auction, to Flying at Night by Rebecca L. Brown. The novel, which Jane Rotrosen agent Christina Hogrebe sold, is told from multiple points of view—that of a nine-year-old autistic boy, his narcissistic mother, and his father (who's recently suffered a heart attack). The book, which is set for early 2018, explores, Berkley said, "universal questions about the nature of family, isolation, and somehow finding your way home again."

Musheirifa (,  ou ) est un village arabe du district israélien de Haïfa. Il est situé dans la région du Wadi Ara, dans le nord du Triangle, à  au nord-est d'Umm al-Fahm. Depuis 1996, il est sous la juridiction du conseil local de Ma'ale Iron. À la mi-2016, la population de Musheirifa était de 3472 habitants, tous musulmans. Le village est divisé en quatre quartiers: Ighbarieh, El-Manshya, Jabbarin et le vieux village. Les habitants sont pour une grande part membres du clan Ighbarieh, qui habite les parties supérieures du village, et du clan Jabbarin, qui habite les parties inférieures. Bayada, qui était un quartier du village, s'en est séparé et est devenu un nouveau village. Musheirifa est médiocrement loti en infrastructures et, comme beaucoup d'autres villages de la région du Wadi Ara, manque de beaucoup d'équipements sociaux et de loisirs.

Current clinical evidence for using cranberry juice to combat urinary tract infections is "unsatisfactory and inconclusive," according to Raul Raz, director of infectious diseases at the Technion School of Medicine, Haemek Medical Center in Israel.
Not all medical problems require a state-of-the-art solution, and it would be nice to think that products from the supermarket could treat a widespread and uncomfortable ailment. Cranberry juice and related products have been touted as a simple solution for urinary tract infections, but Raz, finds little to support this claim.
Cranberry contains hundreds of compounds, and it has been difficult to determine which might be responsible for any therapeutic effect, hindering its adoption. Raz and Edelstein point to differences in clinical trial design and the lack of standardization for doses and formulation. There is a range of potential side-effects including stomach upsets and weight gain. Cranberry can also interact badly with other medicines such as Warfarin, commonly used to treat heart disease.

The stunning Gareth Bale transformation that saw him 'become a man' and set him on the path to stardom
One summer, Gareth Bale punched in for pre-season at the Southampton Academy and he was a totally different person

In the early Noughties, a teenager by the name of Gareth Bale was part of a Southampton academy squad that would produce the likes of Adam Lallana and Theo Walcott.
Also part of that team was current Ipswich striker David McGoldrick and he recalls a time when the squad used to all live together and the mischief that went along with it.
But he pointed out that the Welsh superstar in waiting would play no part in such antics and largely kept himself to himself.
"Gareth Bale was a shy lad in his first year at Saints," McGoldrick told greenun24.co.uk.

More:This is what became of the young boys who played alongside Gareth Bale on his Wales under-21 debut
"The boys all stayed in a lodge near Southampton, there were about 20 of us. You can imagine the messing about, fights, sneaking out, it was a real laugh and a bit chaotic at times. But Gareth was very quiet and spent much of the time in his room."
That summer, the players all went home and did whatever teenagers do before the Welshman returned for pre-season. He was Gareth Bale, but he wasn't the same.
He had grown both in stature and confidence and he was taking his first steps towards becoming one of the most expensive players in world football.
McGoldrick added: "Then he came back pre-season and he was suddenly a man.

"His body shape had changed, he was confident, taking all the free-kicks.
You could tell after that he was going to be a very top player.
"
Bale would go on to make his Saints debut in April 2006 and would score his first league goal against Derby the following August.
The young man from Whitchurch would go on to command a £7 million fee from Spurs and the rest, as they say, is history.
In 2013, Real Madrid reached an agreement to sign the 24-year-old for what was believed to be a world record transfer fee of £85 million.

Get to know Volleyball Star Deanna Wong from Cebu
By Sarah Ladeza May 4, 2022
Maria Deanna Izabella Alvizo Wong, better known as Deanna Wong, is a Cebuana volleyball player who rose to prominence for her setting abilities.
Photo from Deanna Wong Facebook Page
In elementary school, she attended Saint Theresa's College in Cebu, and in high school, she attended the University of San Jose-Recoletos. When her career took off, she went to the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) to study AB Interdisciplinary Studies.
She was selected for the ADMU's collegiate varsity senior women's volleyball team in March 2015, and she played her freshman year in 2016. She began her career as a libero in the UAAP Season 79 and transitioned to setter in the UAAP Season 80, when she was named Best Setter.
Because of her performance in the UAAP, Wong was selected to play in the Premier Volleyball League for Choco Mucho, among other teams, where she had a fantastic tenure. As a result, she became well-known. Wong has carved quite a name for herself in the industry, amassing 1.2 million Instagram followers alone.

During her games, her admirers would swarm the venue, ensuring that this legendary Cebuana setter was aware of their presence. On Twitter, a call to protect Deanna and her family's privacy has recently gained traction. This occurred when her followers camped out at their Cebu mansion.
During Holy Week, Deanna Wong returned home to spend time with her family. During Good Friday, however, her fans flocked to their home in Minglanilla, Cebu. Judin Alvizo-Wong, Wong's mother, posted a video on her Facebook account showing how excited the fans were awaiting the star setter to arrive.
"how do we get out of church if this is how many people are staring at the gate?"
please respect deanna and her family's privacy. pic.twitter.com/3WmCzRmT4D

Despite the breach of their privacy, Deanna made a point of waving to her supporters, as shown in the video.
"How will we be able to attend to church with so many people gathered outside our gate?" Some even arrived from Mindanao and other Visayas provinces. Some had arrived as early as six a.m.,"
she wrote in Cebuano, accompanied by a sorrowful emoji.
If you have anything to say about Deanna, please do so in the comments below; we'd love to hear from you.

Q: Division by using 2 cut variables I have the following code :
#!/bin/bash
pontos=$(cat condutores.txt | cut -d ":" -f 10)
nviagens=$(cat condutores.txt | cut -d ":" -f 9)
divisao=$((pontos / nviagens))
echo $divisao

I want to divide the 10th column of each line  with 9th column of condutores.txt. Save it in a variable and check if the number is less than 5 . However the division does not work properly.

A: The reason why your division does not work out, is that cut gives you the full column. So if condutores.txt has many lines you will get many values there all separated with \n. This is not really a number to divide.
You might try something else ...
awk '{print $9/$10}' FS=":" condutores.txt

A: you could do this in one line using awk! Suppose I have sample data (which I am using to mimic yours):
1       15      18
2       17      6
3       14      98
4       17      25
5       9       3

This is how you divide column 3 by column 2 using awk:
awk '{print $3/$2}' example_file.txt

prints to standard output:
1.2
0.352941
7
1.47059
0.333333

Now say from this I wanted only those values which were less than 1:
awk '{if ($3/$2 < 1) print $0}' awk_tester.txt

returns the full rows:
2       17      6
5       9       3

now if we want the actual value:
awk '{if ($3/$2 < 1) print $3/$2}' awk_tester.txt

returns:
0.352941
0.333333

If your field separator is ':' just add this to the beginning of each awk command:
-F ':'

like so:
awk -F ':' '{if ($3/$2 < 1) print $3/$2}' awk_tester.txt

Pre Admission Clinic Managing Attendance Numbers (PACMAN) is a clinical redesign project being undertaken at Concord Repatriation General Hospital that is focused on improving the patient journey for elective surgery patients by reducing delays in the Pre Admission Clinic and reducing cancellations on the day of surgery.
This project aims to improve the elective surgery patient journey by reducing the number of patients that need to attend the Pre Admission Clinic by ensuring appropriate referral, reducing the time spent in the Pre Admission Clinic, improving communication between the Hospital and the patient prior to the day of surgery and thereby reducing cancellations on the day of surgery.
The creation of a pathway/protocol for determining if patients need to attend the Pre Admission Clinic will reduce the overall number of presentations. Subsequently, the time patients will spend in the clinic is reduced, due to reduced patient numbers.
Communication with patients prior to surgery is improved.
Cancellations on the day of surgery are reduced, meaning our patients will only need to take time of work and make arrangements for their surgery once, they will only need to fast once and they will only need to prepare themselves for surgery once.
Reduced cancellations on the day of surgery increase Key Performance Indicator (KPI) compliance.
Reduced costs associated with cancellations.
Increased staff satisfaction and reduced stress due to better organisation within the Pre Admission Clinic and earlier finalisation of operating theatre lists.
Concord Hospital provides 11,000 surgical procedures per year. Seventy five percent of procedures are elective surgery, of which over 90% are admitted on the scheduled day of surgery.
Preparedness for admission is monitored through NSW Health peri-operative key performance indicators, which include rates of cancellation on the day of surgery, utilisation of scheduled theatre time, a timely start to the working day, and timely discharge of patients from hospital.
The Hospital has consistently been unable to meet NSW Health targets for cancellations on the day of surgery. Local data suggest that around 40% of cancellations might be avoided by better preparation and co-ordination. (Davidson, file audits over several years).
It is also acknowledged that patients can spend excessive time in the Pre Admission Clinic. It has been estimated that 20% of patients could be appropriately assessed without attending a preadmission clinic (S Cameron, personal communication).
In 2013, 266 elective surgery patients were cancelled on the day of surgery. On average, five cases are performed in a theatre session, equating to 53 sessions with no patients or one week with ten empty theatres. Based on an average staffing mix this equates to $334,131.92 of paid operating staff time, in which no procedure was performed.
The vast majority of patients are required to attend the Pre Admission Clinic, they may not have completed all of the required documentation or maybe scheduled to attend at the same time as a large number of other patients and are likely to spend an extended time waiting, with limited information about delays.
They may be cancelled on the day of surgery because the list was overbooked, patients were not prepared for surgery or due to a pre-existing medical condition. Meaning, patients and/or a family member or friend arranged to have time off work, patients may have fasted and prepared themselves for a surgery that did not occur.
Development of an agreed pathway or protocol (with the right of veto) to assist in determining if patients need or do not need to attend the Pre Admission Clinic.
Inform patients of delays in the Pre Admission Clinic and the Day of Surgery Admission Clinic (DOSAC).
Implement a revised scheduling system in the Pre Admission clinic, which allocates time based appointments.
Development of a business case for the creation of a Co-ordinator /Triage nurse for the Pre Admission Clinic.
Revised structure for the submission of the final operating theatre lists, with all lists to be submitted by 9am on the day prior to surgery.
Implementation of a telephone queuing system in DOSAC, which allows for patients to be placed in a queue and informs them of the importance of their call and the number of callers before them.
Development of a generic SMS reminder to be sent three days prior to surgery, to confirm surgery and remind patients to contact the hospital.

Tragedy in Texas
On January 17, in a Dallas synagogue, ten lives were changed forever. Texan Malik Akram entered the synagogue and took ten people hostage. Earlier in 2020 Akram was investigated by M15 in England as a "terrorist threat," but was ultimately disregarded.
"It was extremely unfortunate and I'm glad no one was injured in the attack," said Freshman Joel Acton.
The hostage standoff lasted a total of ten hours. The hostages tried to reason with the gunman to spare their lives. The Rabbi decided to take action and surreptitiously edge towards the door. They were stopped and forced to kneel from the gunman. The Rabbi then grabbed a chair and heaved it at the gunman then bolted for the door. Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker had been deemed a hero for his heroic actions.
"It was a very brave and quick decision that saved many lives," said Freshman Jack Ferrell.
In an interview, Rabbi Cytron-Walker said he had taken part in at least four separate trainings in recent years, from the Colleyville Police Department, the F.B.I., the Anti-Defamation League and the Secure Community Network, a nonprofit group that provides security resources to Jewish institutions nationally.
"If he wouldn't have taken that training, there is no saying what would've or could've happened to those people," said Junior Cayman Huntsman.
Synagogues have been even more acutely aware of threats since 2018, when an assailant armed with an AR-15-style assault rifle and multiple handguns entered the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh on a Saturday morning. The man, who was shouting antisemitic slurs, killed 11 people.
"There's a lot of hate in America right now, and unfortunately we aren't heading down a good path," said Junior Aiden Frost.

Q: Flutter - File google-services.json is missing. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it I am trying to run the flutter application on the android studio before now all works perfectly but after I changed my targetSdkVersion to targetSdkVersion 31 I started getting this error that says
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
   > Could not resolve com.google.firebase:firebase-core:25.12.0.
     Required by:
         project :app
      > No cached version of com.google.firebase:firebase-core:25.12.0 available for offline mode.

And google-services.json is available in my project. My pubspec.yaml for firebase_message is firebase_messaging: ^7.0.3, android/build.gradledependencies is
buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.61'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()  // Maven Central repository
    }

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
}

``` and my ```app/build.gradle``` dependencies is

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'

    implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:31.0.2')

}

Thanks, in advance, please let me know if there is any information is needed
I tried to clean the project, pub upgrade, pub get, flutter upgrade, and even tried downloading a new version of firebase_messaging and pasting it inside the project still the same error.

A: So I was able to solve this by first updating my firebase_messaging version in pubspec.yaml to firebase_messaging: ^13.0.4 And android/build.gradle dependencies is

}
subprojects {

}

The above solved the issue for me.

Search Term: shimamura
Experiencing art: it's a whole-brain issue, stupid!
By Arthur Shimamura
We love art. We put it on our walls, we admire it at museums and on others' walls, and if we're inspired, we may even create it. Philosophers, historians, critics, and scientists have bandied about the reasons why we enjoy creating and beholding art, and each has offered important and interesting perspectives.
These days do we really need a Man of Steel?
By Arthur P. Shimamura
As a child, I encountered the Man of Steel in the Adventures of Superman, the 1950s TV series that I watched as morning reruns a decade later. My Superman was "faster than a speeding bullet" and fought for "truth, justice and the American way." My 26-year-old son, Thomas, encountered a similarly invincible superhero in Superman: The Movie, the 1978 blockbuster which starred Christopher Reeve.
Stories We Tell: How we reconstruct the past
Our memories, in many ways, define who we are as an individual or at least who we think we are. In the recent documentary, Stories We Tell, filmmaker Sarah Polley presents her own tale of the search for her biological father. Through interviews with relative and friends, snapshots, and re-enactments of pertinent events that look like old home movies, the documentary moves like a real-life Rashomon, wherein bits of the "truth" are revealed from various points of views.
Psychocinematics: discovering the magic of movies
Like the great and powerful Oz, filmmakers conceal themselves behind a screen and offer a mesmerizing experience that engages our sights, thoughts, and emotions. They have developed an assortment of magical "tricks" of acting, staging, sound, camera movement, and editing that create a sort of sleight of mind. These techniques have been discovered largely through trial and error, and thus we have very little understanding of how they actually work on our psyche.
Based on a "true" story: expecting reality in movies
This year's academy award nominations of Argo, Lincoln, and Zero Dark Thirty, attest to our fascination of watching "true stories" depicted on the screen. We adopt a special set of expectations when we believe a movie is based on actual events, a sentiment the Coen Brothers parodied when they stated at the beginning of Fargo that "this is a true story," even though it wasn't.
HFR and The Hobbit: There and Back Again
Is it the sense of experiencing reality that makes movies so compelling? Technological advances in film, such as sound, color, widescreen, 3-D, and now high frame rate (HFR), have offered ever increasing semblances of realism on the screen. In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, we are introduced to the world of 48 frames per second (fps), which presents much sharper moving images than what we've seen in movies produced at the standard 24 fps.

Material Christianity
Religion and Popular Culture in America
Colleen McDannell
100 b/w + 24 color illus.
What can the religious objects used by nineteenth- and twentieth-century Americans tell us about American Christianity? What is the relationship between the beliefs of the faithful and the landscapes they build? This lavishly illustrated book investigates the history and meaning of Christian material culture in America over the last 150 years.
Drawing on a rich array of historical sources and on in-depth interviews with Protestants, Catholics, and Mormons, Colleen McDannell examines the relationship between religion and mass consumption. She describes examples of nineteenth-century religious practice: Victorians burying their dead in cultivated cemetery parks; Protestants producing and displaying elaborate family Bibles; Catholics writing for special water from Lourdes reputed to have miraculous powers. And she looks at today's Christians: Mormons wearing sacred underclothing as a reminder of their religious promises, Catholics debating the design of tasteful churches, and Protestants manufacturing, marketing, and using a vast array of prints, clothing, figurines, jewelry, and toys that some label "Jesus junk" but that others see as a witness to their faith. McDannell claims that previous studies of American Christianity have overemphasized the written, cognitive, and ethical dimensions of religion, presenting faith as a disembodied system of beliefs. She shifts attention from the church and the theological seminary to the workplace, home, cemetery, and Sunday school, highlighting a different Christianity—one in which average Christians experience the divine, the nature of death, the power of healing, and the meaning of community through interacting with a created world of devotional images, environments, and objects.
Colleen McDannell is Sterling McMurrin Chair of Religious Studies and associate professor of history at the University of Utah. She is the co-author of Heaven: A History, published by Yale University Press.
"One of the most important books in the study of American religion to appear in some time. Gracefully written, it offers a powerful alternative model for envisioning what counts as 'religious' in American culture."--Edward T. Linenthal, author of Preserving Memory: The Struggle to Create America's Holocaust Museum
"American religions have been studied up to now as if Christians had no bodies. In this witty, learned and comparative study, Colleen McDannell goes a long way towards putting the body and the senses at the center of the study of American religions. In a series of brilliant case studies that range over Catholic shrines, Mormon underwear, Protestant icons, McDannell helps us to understand that the textures of faith—its smells, tastes, looks, and feel—are central to the cultural work of religion, to the making of religious meanings, and to the experience of faith itself. The collection of illustrations she has assembled is revelatory and revolutionary. It will be impossible after Material Christianity to think about American religions in a disembodied way ever again. From now on—I hope—all scholars of American religion will need slide projectors (at least) when they talk about their research, because McDannell will have taught them that whatever they are studying looks, smells, tastes, and that the textures of religions matter."—Robert A. Orsi, Professor of Religious Studies, Indiana University
"A cornucopia of Christian kitsch whose cultural power McDannell unravels with sophistication and enthusiastic delight."—Jon Butler, Yale University
"Colleen McDannell's Material Christianity is as historically satisfying as it is intellectually creative. By treating seriously—and with no patronizing—the material objects collected, read, displayed, and marketed by ordinary American Christians, McDannell administers a healthy corrective to studies of religion focused only on the words and institutions of elite church leaders. Christians, who claim to follow a religion defined by the Incarnation of God as a human object, should welcome this study as much as non-believers who want to know more about the ordinary concerns of ordinary Americans. Readers of all kinds will benefit from McDannell's wide-ranging research, her sensible use of gender theory, and her splendid choice of apt illustrations. This is a landmark book."—Mark A. Noll, Professor of History, Wheaton College
"A groundbreaking, impressively researched, and kitsch-filled exploration of how Americans' sacred 'stuff' both shapes and reflects their religious beliefs."—Kirkus Reviews
"The careful intertwining of theory and practice in historically informed case studies is exemplary for readers with a specific interest in material Christianity as well as those with a more general interest in material culture and the making of meaning."—Booklist
"Rather than sneering at the trade in pious knick-knacks—what critics label "Jesus Junk"—McDannell tries sympathetically to grasp its meaning for believers and for U.S. culture as a whole. . . . [A] fascinating book."—New Statesman & Society
"A marvellously intelligent and sympathetic look at an aspect of religious culture that is usually guaranteed to inspire just as much gleeful disdain as any televangelist's scandal. . . . McDannell is able to show the surprising variety and real purpose of ornamental Bibles, scripture cookies, Jesus lampshades, even Mormons' sacred pants. . . . It is truly heartening to come across a work so intelligent as this and so committed to . . . understanding. Together with McDannell's rigourous research, and her clear, jargon-free style, these qualities make for an admirable and surprising book."—Harry Ritchie, Financial Times
"McDannell provides a brilliant commentary on how material Christianity has grown and adapted accordingly to consumer demand. . . . The objects of religion under McDannell's scrutiny are shown to be texts that really tell us about ourselves. For those interested in Americana, religion, art and especially people, this book is a must."—Rev. Michael P. Orsi, Pastoral Life
"McDannell's achievement is truly impressive. She has provided a provocative and rewarding alternative model for understanding American religion—a model that offers a more complete and balanced account of how believers understand, transfer and contest religious values."—Scott Flipse, American Catholic Studies Newsletter
"This is a good book. Clear, readable, and scholarly, it told me many things I did not already know about popular Christian practice in the United States. It is richly illustrated and uses a format that ties the illustrations to the text in an intelligent way. The primary audience seems to be scholars in religious and cultural studies, although it is clearly meant to be accessible to the intelligent nonspecialist reader as well. . . . Sociologists interested in religion or popular culture will find the book a useful exploration of important theoretical themes and an extremely useful source of historical information. . . . Well-written and exhaustively researched, the book would make an excellent text for an undergraduate or even an introductory graduate class on the sociology of religion, popular religion, religious culture, or religion and gender."—Penny Edgell Becker, American Journal of Sociology
"Material Christianity is a valuable resource for scholars, ministers, and laypeople interested in manifestations of religious conviction in the experience of everyday life. Creative and lucid, this book examines a subject that has long been overlooked by scholars of religion—the material culture of American Christianity."—William D. Romanowski, Calvin Theological Journal
"A scholarly, witty and enthralling study of material Christianity."—Gillian Mottram, Faith and Freedom
"[McDannell's] studies are windows onto a variety of religious worlds and historical contexts. . . . A significant book with carefully laid out arguments. . . . An excellent resource for scholars of religion interested in material Christianity, for sociologists and anthropologists exploring the wider field of material culture and religious practice and for specialists in women's studies concerned with the gendering of religious practices in the United States."—Kathleen S. Nash, America
"McDannell opens fascinating doors in this study, ones that will become increasingly important as scholars continue to direct attention to the ways ordinary men and women do about the business of being religious."—Charles H. Lippy, Church History
"Richly illustrated with black and white and color plates, the book reviews the religious object as fashion, the bible, cemeteries, Lourdes water, Christian Kitsch, Mormon garments, and Christian retailing. Throughout, McDannell's excellent commentary and analysis highlights the cultural significance of each example."—Christian Sociologist Newsletter
"McDannell's work merits a wider audience than professional academicians. Material Christianity persuasively argues for a more central role for material culture studies in our efforts to understand the religious experiences of average Americans, and provides a fine model for those who wish to heed the call."—Timothy Kelly, St. Vincent College Journal of Social History
"Each section is . . . skillfully and powerfully argued and laden with provocative points and rich insights. . . . By just opening up study of the material dimension of Christianity, McDannell has written a critically important, necessary book; through her imaginative research and insight, she has also written an intriguing and exceptionally fine one."—Timothy J. Meagher, Catholic Historical Review
"McDannell contributes substantially to discussions of American religious life by exposing a feature of American Christianity that has been neglected and should be studied."—Margaret R. Miles, Journal of American Academy of Religion
"McDannell's book is exciting."—Michael J. Walsh, Heythrop Journal
"McDannell displays a sharp sense of social history and historical context as well as a sophisticated theoretical control of her subject. . . . [McDannell] writes with authority and insight in an area of American religious studies in which she is clearly now the major voice."—Catherine L. Albanese, History of Religions
"I commend this book as a long overdue analysis of an aspect of human religious experience that is both revealing and insightful."—Bible Editions and Versions
"Colleen McDannell, a professor of history and religious studies at the University of Utah, goes a step farther in her revisionist study Material Christianity: Religion and Popular Culture in America, in which she seeks to reverse our assumptions about the sequence of stimulus and response. . . In McDannell's view, "People need objects to help establish and maintain relationships with supernatural characters, family, and friends. Christians use goods and create religious landscapes to tell themselves and the world around them who they are."—Michael Kammen, The Chronicle of Higher Education

Outside it was some rain in the air, still a lot of people were out walking. Some under their umbrellas, other braving the weather. Hoping the rain would pass soon. Out drinks were served quickly, wine for me and beer for my friend. We leaned back in our seats, enjoyed the beverages, the chance to sit down. It had been a long day, we had been walking for hours. It was nice to sit down for a change.
Founded in 1997, originally as a single pizza restaurant, Cili Pizza has since then diverisfied and expanded their operations. The first restaurant opened in Vilnius in Lithuania, today the restaurant chain is open in five countries, and included pizza restaurants, traditional Lithuanian restaurants, chinese restaurants, coffee shops and drive-ins. The pizza restaurants offer a quick and tasty meal for a small price, accompagnied by your choice of beer, wine or softdrinks.
When I noticed Cili Pizza in Riga I knew I had to visit, I remembered the place from the year before in Vilnius. I had been there a few times during my visit. My friend had also been in Vilnius last year, he had just as good an impression of the restaurant. We planned for an early dinner before heding to a bar for the final party of the weekend. I had heard rumours of 2-4-1 cocktails, it was important to stock up on food beforehand. A the rest of our group found other restaurans, some headed back to the hotel for a quick rest, we found the nearest Cili Pizza restaurant.
It did not take long before our pizzas were served, they were as delicious as I remembered them from Vilnius. A delicious crust, great toppings. All cooked very well. We dug into our food, ate in silence. No time for talking when enjoying a tasty pizza. After a few more glasses of wine, the pizza was finished. We paid our bill, headed for the bar where the final party was.
So hard to find good pizza outside of NYC but this looks promising!! I love pizza!
