The Misunderstood Depths of Bipolar Disorder
WRITTEN BY: Julianne Chiaet
Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" is officially ruined for me. The song was inspired by Timberlake's relationship with Britney Spears, and he said, "You told me you loved me/Why did you leave me, all alone/Now you tell me you need me/When you call me, on the phone."
While I'm not technically here to deconstruct the prose of "Cry Me a River," it serves as an example of the painful consequences a person suffering from mania must endure after making impulsive relationship-ruining decisions. Britney Spears is one of the many famous people who suffer from bipolar disorder and, unlike its common portrayal, it's symptoms are not as simple as being very happy and then being very sad.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by extreme highs and lows in mood. In order to understand what that means, I think it's pivotal to understand the distinction between an emotion and a mood. A mood is an inescapable, pervasive, and sustained emotion that, "when extreme, can color one's whole view of life,"according to the Miller-Keane Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health. While moods mostly fall into two categories (positive and negative), they're harder to define than emotions because emotions are evoked by a stimuli.
Those with bipolar have difficulty regulating their moods. Note this mood chart:
At the top of the chart is mania. The vast majority of mania cases occur in those with bipolar disorder type one. While it makes sense to assume that mania is purely the opposite of depression, it's not so simple. Mania can show itself both in the form of violence and euphoria. In general, it's characterized by restlessness, extreme optimism, hyperactivity, and having so many ideas at once that you can't even express them. People experiencing mania have a decreased need for sleep and overestimate their own abilities. Those with mania commonly destroy both relationships and credit scores, making impulsive decisions that feel like the right thing to do, but result in painful consequences. When comparing scans of brains in a manic state versus brains in balanced state, the manic brain shows an increased level of activity, with norepinephrine levels that are off the charts. Norepinephrine is one of the neurotransmitters vital to the fight-or-flight response. It triggers an increase in heart rate, blood glucose levels, and blood pressure.
Full-blown mania can also involve psychosis, which is characterized by a person losing touch with reality. Delusions fall under this psychosis umbrella. A delusion is a false belief that is firmly believed in, albeit the fact that it's unrealistic. For instance, the idea that someone is following them or that they are at the center of the universe. Disorders such as Parkinson's diseases and types of dementia can also cause psychosis.
In "An Unquiet Mind," American psychologist and foremost bipolar expert Kay Redfield Jamison described some of her personal experiences with full-blown mania. During one manic episode, she bought 20 books published by Penguin because "it could be nice if the penguins could form a colony." In another instance, she bought out a store's entire supply of snake bite kits in preparation for an imminent rattle snake attack that only she could see coming.
At the other end of the mood spectrum is severe depression. While only bipolar type one experiences severe mania, both bipolar one and two experience this mood. The depressed brain has decreased levels of activity, with low levels of both serotonin and norepinephrine. Symptoms of depression include significant weight fluctuation, getting too much or too little sleep, feeling constantly overwhelmed, feeling a decreased interest in activities, feeling worthless, and feeling tired all the time.
Bipolar runs in families. You're more likely to experience a mood disorder if someone in your family has one. A stressful life experience, such as being abused, can trigger bipolar episode if the person is predisposed to bipolar. However, a stressful event itself cannot cause bipolar in a person without a pre-existing condition.
People with bipolar disorder have to overcome obstacles that other people don't. It's a chronic condition that requires a person to constantly question their own moods, actions, and decisions just to live a stable life. Doing so is incredibly difficult - but entirely possible. Successful people with bipolar include the singer Demi Lovato, comedian and Golden Globe Award–nominated actor Stephen Fry, and CNN founder Ted Turner. While some glorify the disorder to be a source of inspiration, more often than not, it's an obstacle that makes it harder for those suffering from it to succeed.
So whether or not you understand exactly what it means to be bipolar, please be mindful of it. Try to understand that it's not as simple as a person going from being happy to sad, and understand that those suffering from the disorder (Britney Spears, Catherine Zeta-Jones, etc.) have to fight just to live a stable life.

NNPC to resolve fiscal issues with JV partners
in Energy
To attract fresh investments into the petroleum industry and encourage exploration for new oil finds to grow the oil and gas industry, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is planning to resolve the lingering fiscal issues hindering the growth of the industry.
Its Group Managing Director, Mallam Mele Kyari, stated this while fielding questions from reporters at the just-concluded conference of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), Nigeria Council held in Lagos.
Kyari said the corporation will engage its joint venture (JV) partners and the government to resolve the knotty issues.
He noted that NNPC will fully embrace technology to drive its operations considering the direction of the industry. He said: "Today, Artificial Intelligence is leading digital transformation across the oil and gas industry, from exploration to production and facility management. And many oil companies have taken advantage of this to enhance operations'reliability and profitability.
"Technology and innovation will, therefore, continue to shape the way we do our businesses, especially in the deep offshore and other hard to operate environments.Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Mobile Technology will continue to shape our industry in practically unimaginable ways, but certainly the transformations it promises will lead to quantum shift in the delivery of our task."
For the NNPC, Kyari said: "We are getting to the point of using technology to address challenges and advance growth of the oil industry but there is significant room for improvement. Certainly, we have done so much in the industry to believe that we have got to a level that doesn't need other proportions."
On developing the oil and gas industry appropriately, the NNPC chief said: "There are fiscal issues that we need to resolve and we are engaging our partners and government so much to make sure those fiscal issues are resolved so that at the end of the day, people will have the basis of investment clear to them.
"We will also engage our partners to make sure that the assets that need to be divested are done as quickly as possible so that we can reduce some of the challenges that had inhibited investment in this industry.The combination of these two will take us there."
On whether the government will sell the refineries to private sector investors to make them efficient, Kyari said government will not sell the refineries but assured that NNPC will make the refineries operate at reasonable capacity. "First, we have to rehabilitate our refineries and make they operate at minimum of 90 per cent capacities. Secondly, we (NNPC) will make sure others that have such initiatives to put in place new refineries are supported by way of either providing them feedstock or all the necessary support to make sure such refineries come on stream and also make sure when they produce we take these products from them."
On the financing option the corporation will choose to carry out the refineries' rehabilitation, he said: "We can do equity or third party financing and other options," adding that the NNPC is to also resolve fiscal issues around investment environment and make sure its priorities are clear and it will plan with its JV partners, so they can get back to exploration.
Kyari said taking steps to grow reserve, expand the frontiers of our production as a country requires enabling environment to attract the investment that is being subdued by our fiscal regimes but noted that the corporation is optimistic that this government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari is determined to deliver a stable fiscal environment to support the needed growth in the oil and gas sector.
"The oil and gas industry is dynamic and must remain so in order to survive frequent disruptions associated with changing economic, social, political environments," he added.

We start the video traveling west along Santa Monica Blvd at the intersection with La Cienga in West Hollywood. We soon reach the rainbow cacti at the intersection with Doheny Drive where we enter Beverly Hills.
The scenery changes drastically compared to West Hollywood, with the road being wider here with bike lanes and a park on the north side of the road. We pass the government center and Rodeo drive before entering Los Angeles just past the intersection with Wilshire Blvd.
We enter LA with the LA Country Club to the north, and the scenery here get's noticeably more urban. To the south, tall buildings block the landscape, followed by globs of retail.
Crossing under the interchange with Interstate 405, we pass through the Sawtelle neighborhood before entering Santa Monica at an intersection with Centinela Ave. In Santa Monica, we stay on old Route 66 until Lincoln Blvd, where we continue on Route 66 for the last mile. The video ends as we turn onto Lincoln Blvd.

D ("The Dead") 15.1028-9: – He has been laid on here like the gas, said Aunt Kate in the same tone, all during the Christmas.
Although it is clear that Aunt Kate obviously thinks that Mr Browne has outstayed his welcome, the phrase "laid on here like the gas" might at first seem a bit puzzling to modern readers.
Beyond all this the sound may be laid on, like gas, to any pew or any quarter of the church; for there may be a tube (which we will call the main-pipe) laid along the centre aisle, and lateral tubes may spring from this to any required spot.
A new field of enterprise is now open to engineers, and I may venture to predict that, at no very distant period from the present, motive power, in the form of compressed air, will be laid on, like gas or water, to the door of the manufactory.
In a house with a telephone in every room, poor Benedict might be tempted to imagine that his mother-in-law had been 'laid on', like the gas and hot water.
Hang this fellow, he's always here, He's reg'larly laid on like the gas.
Our religion must be 'laid on' like the gas and the hot and cold water in our houses.
The manner in which Mr. Alexander dispersed this entertainment showed that he was already equipped with one important qualification of a Master of Hounds — a temper laid on like gas, ready to blaze at a moment's notice.
After the first meeting of what was known as the Court of Directors of the Gas, Light and Coke Company had been held at 27 Norfolk Street, Strand on 24 June 1812, gas started to be laid on all over Britain and Ireland, at first as a civic amenity (street lighting, etc.) and subsequently also for domestic supply.

Can snorting chocolate like cocaine be good for you?
Choco-holics listen up: How far would you go to get your next fix?
A Belgian chocolatier now claims snorting is one of the best ways to experience cocoa.
In 2007, chocolate-maker Dominique Persoone invented a chocolate sniffing device modeled after old-fashioned Victorian snuff shooters that allows users to inhale cocoa powder. Persoone created the device after the wives of musicians Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts asked him to help prepare a surprise birthday party for their Rolling Stone husbands.
Eight years later, Persoone, who has sold some 25,000 of his chocolate shooters, never imaged his device would extend beyond the world of rock 'n roll, reports Reuters.
"The mentality when you think about sniffing is: 'Oh it's kinky, guys who do that stuff...," the chef told Reuters. "I'm not the bad boy promoting drugs, not at all ... Life is boring. Let's have fun."
He mixes "a hit" of Dominican Republic or Peruvian cocoa powder with unique flavorings like mint, ginger or raspberry and claims certain additives really "tickle your nose."
"Then the mint flavor goes down and the chocolate stays in your brain," Persoone said.
The device has become so popular that Michelen-starred chef Heston Blumenthal has reportedly promoted the device.
Persoone claims the device is 100 percent safe, though the packaging warns against "excessive sniffing." But is putting chocolate powder up your nose really a good idea?
Dr. Robert Glatter, emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, says inhaling any type of residual food product can damage nasal passages, lead to a bacterial infection or worse.
"Inhalation of cocoa or herbal components such as mint or ginger could lead to increase mucous production, nasal congestion, as well as coughing and wheezing, especially in those persons with a history of asthma or pre-existing lung disease," Dr. Glatter told FoxNews.com.
He strongly advises using such a device at it may lead to "a risk of pneumonitis or pneumonia due to the irritating effects of the cocoa and added herbal ingredients."
Despite these warnings Persoone insists his device is safe and continues to experiment with savory flavors like bacon, oyster and even grass. But there is one ingredient that he does not recommend shooting up your nose: chili powder.
"It's a very bad idea," the chocolatier admits.
The chocolate sniffing devices retail for 45 euros—about $50 and can be shipped to many countries including Russia, Canada, India and the U.S.

Man Caught On Video Spraying Febreze At Asian Man In Possible Coronavirus Related Hate Crime
[Twitter/Screenshot/Public — User: Celia Au]
Marlo Safi Culture Reporter
March 06, 2020 1:51 PM ET
Police are investigating a possible coronavirus related hate crime after a video began circulating on social media showing a man yelling at an Asian subway passenger to move, and then spraying at him with Febreze, the New York Post reported.
The clip was originally posted on Facebook and shows a man on the N train in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, yelling at an Asian man to "move," and when the man is asked why the victim has to move, he responds "because he's standing right fucking next to me," according to the New York Post. (RELATED: Here Are The Politicians And Media Outlets Pushing The Claim That Trump Called The Coronavirus A 'Hoax')
The man later reaches into his bag and pulls out a bottle of Febreze, and sprays in the victim's direction.
"Tell him to move!" He yells. The victim approaches the man once he is sitting, and asks "Why is that? Why can't I sit next to you?" A woman enters the frame and pulls the victim away. The man yells at him that he "better move — you're being dumb right now. You're being dumb."
The police responded to a 911 call for the incident but the train had already left the station, according to the New York Post.
'The train was no longer there [at the station], so we were unable to take a report," Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison said at a crime briefing on Thursday according to the New York Post. "We are investigating it right now. Our Hate Crimes Task Force is reviewing the incident and it's an ongoing investigation."
Actor Celia Au shared the video on Twitter, saying to "stop discrimination cause the virus definitely doesn't."

Crashing Las Vegas
Ben Schwalb for Allied Artists
directed by Jean Yarbrough
starring the Bowery Boys (= Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, David Gorcey (as David Condon), Jimmy Murphy), Mary Castle, Don Haggerty, Terry Frost, Mort Mills, Jack Rice, Nicky Blair, Doris Kemper, Bob Hopkins
written by Jack Townley, music by Marlin Skiles
After receiving an electric shock, Sash (Huntz Hall) has developed the ability to predict numbers - whichever numbers that is. And this would make him a natural for the roulette-table, right? Good thing then that Slip (Leo Gorcey) has just won a trip to Las Vegas for four on a TV gameshow - and off are Sach, slip and the other Bowery Boys (David Condon, Jimmy Murphy) to Sin City.
Once in a casino, Sach wins at roulette with haunting regularity - but usually loses everything due to his klutziness -, so much so that he attracts the attention of crooks Carol (Mary Castle) and Murlock (Don Haggerty). At first, Carol tries to just use her seductive charms on Sach, but that plan backfires, because when she's near he loses his concentration and totally fails at guessing numbers. So they make up a scheme for her to take Sach to her room with her, then let a phony burst in who plays her husband, and after a short rowe, Sach is made to believe he has killed the husband (though nobody has actually died).
Now Sach considers himself on the run while the other Bowery Boys have called the police to help them find Sach, who they think has been kidnapped.
To make a long story short, in the end the others manage to convince Sach he hasn't killed anyone, all the baddies get their just desserts, Sach loses his newfound talent but also his money, and everything is back to normal again.
Some historical facts first: This was the first Bowery Boys-film made after the death of Bernard Gorcey, Leo Gorcey's father, a loss that didn't go down easy with Leo Gorcey (whose last Bowery Boys-film this would be). Reportedly, he had taken to heavy drinking when filming this one - and to be quite frank, it sort of shows in some scenes ... but that said, the slightly inebriated look and feel go well with Gorcey's character, and while I've got no idea how much footage landed on the cutting room floor due to his condition, his performance on film, including timing, diction and the like, is quite ok.
That all said though, Crashing Las Vegas is not exactly comedy gold, more a series-film based on a simplistic to childish premise, carried by a few too many too old jokes. Sure, the film has a certain low budget old school charm to it, but it's not exactly something you couldn't live without.

What it's like to be plurilingual
October 2, 2014, 3:35 am | This story has an Influence Score of 2154
By riazhussain
Our modern world is a multilingual global village which enjoys advanced means of transportations and communication. These advanced means of transportation and communication have brought in unprecedented mobility of people on the face of the earth, especially in major cosmopolitans of the world. Multiethnic exposure and interracial encounters in the cosmopolitans cause people to become plurilingual. We see people solving intercultural communicative problems in major cosmopolitans of the world by using multiple languages collaboratively. Plurilingual competence refers to the ability of individuals to switch from one language to another for the sake of having effective and optimized communication with their interlocutors or listeners. Plurilingualism is a social necessity in a modern global village. This concept of plurilingualism is gaining popularity. It appears to be a new occurence in the world. But, there have been plurilingual people throughout human history. Actually, some people are explorers by nature. They want to know about diverse cultures and want to learn new languages. It adds to their qualification as professionals and gives them fun and energy as inhabitants of the global village. They appear to have special inbuilt capacity for learning new languages. Learning new languages becomes an addiction with them. Hazem Sobhi Kamal is one of them.
He was born in New Cairo city, Egypt in 1985. He spent his early life in Egypt. In his early youth he and his friends used to frequent the North coast of Egypt ( Al saheel Al Shamali) and Marsa Matroh, (especially a beach called Agiba, which means wonderful).He remembers these days as the most halcyon days of his life. But, then the sudden deaths of his two friends in horrible car accidents filled his life with grief and sorrow.
His friends were full of life and had high ambitions but how secretly death took them away, he wonders. Their deaths gave him great lessons about the transience of life. Then, he moved to Bahrain.
These days he is in Bahrain and works as Sales Engineer at EPC, Oil & Gas sector – ENERGYA CABLES INTL in Bahrain. His job involves having interaction with people who speak different languages. Learning and speaking different languages has introduced him to a new world. He is well versed in various Arabic dialects such as Egyptian Arabic, Khaleeji Arabic, Levantine Arabic and Eastern Arabic. He has learnt these dialects of Arabic from ordinary native speakers of these dialects and not through formal learning.
He has also learnt non-Arabic languages. He says that 'English enjoys the status of second language in Egypt. Multinational companies and organizations use English for communication. So, I learnt English.' Learning the English language has introduced him to non-Arabic foreign culture. Then, he learnt German eight years ago when he was in Egypt. After learning German, he began to learn French. He says, 'I am planning, God willing, to finish DELF B2 in French (Professional certificate, as ILETS in English) and then Spanish ( CELE ) afterwards '. He can also speak Japanese. He also plans to learn Mandarin. He says that he never wastes any opportunity of learning a new language or learning new words and storing them in his existing plurilingual repository. These different languages serve different social purposes for him . Some are used as medium of instruction; some are used with colleagues and friends, while others are used with clients. He says that he does not have full mastery in French, German and Japanese. His proficiency in these languages varies from language to language but he can manage to interact with the native speakers of these languages. I asked him how he manages when has to listen to words he does not know. He says, 'Well, you have to be pragmatic and creative and understand things from the context of the dialogue'. I asked him what he gets by learning new languages. He says, 'language is everything; it is a window to other cultures. For example, grammar of foreign languages tells us how different cultures have different concepts of time and how they divide time differently. In addition, languages tell us how cultures look at things, for example, French appears to be a very irrational language with regard to numbers: 'twenty' in French is vingt and 'eighty' in French is quatre vingt which means 'four twenties '. This appears to be ridiculous when we compare it with Arabic or English words for the same number.
He says that the Internet helps a lot in learning foreign languages. There are language learning sites which can help you learn different aspects and systems of a language. He says, 'I am downloading a lot of French songs documentaries and movies about the Renaissance, the French revolution, Napoleon and other events , aspects and figures of French history and culture. I have some Algerian clients who were born and brought up in France. So, they don't know Algerian dialect of Arabic or Berber language. I have to communicate with them in French'.
I was inquisitive about the genetic background of this natural knack or aptitude for languages. He says that his mother can speak English and French very well. He says, 'since my childhood I have been in situations in which multiple languages were used. Even these days, when I am with my colleagues and clients, there are situations where I have to use multiple languages in one and the same situation. I have to switch from one language to another.
He does not have narrow views. He considers himself a citizen of the world. He lost his two Arabic speaking friends in Egypt in accidents but his plurilingualism has won him many friends from different nations of the world.
I said to him, 'Which language do you like most?' He said, Of all the languages that I have learnt, I like most the language of love'. He has recently got engaged. He talks to his fiancé or wife-to-be in Egypt on the phone. He is beginning to feel the sensations of love. While his plurilingualism helped him discover a new world of multiple cultures, love for his fiancé has helped him discover a heart and his soul in his own being in a new way.
Young and tender hearts,
Filled with hopes and dreams,
Of building up a future,
Together as a team,
Always look to God,
For He holds you both,
Faith is your foundation,
With love, peace and hope.

The Easter Seal Society has a long history of promoting independence for individuals living with physical disabilities in the United States. The Society has funding available to help individuals and businesses provide wheelchair access via ramp construction. The Easter Seal Society can be contacted by calling 416-421-8377 to find out how to access funds locally.
Rebuilding Together, Inc. is a national nonprofit organization that focuses on rehabilitating homes for individuals with disabilities and the elderly. The agency provides funding to make living spaces accessible which includes construction of wheelchair ramps. You may send a letter of interest to Rebuilding Together to explain your needs. The administration office will put you in contact with the organization chapter closest to you.
Community Development Block Grants
Community Development Block Grants, or CDBG, are funds funneled down from the federal government for dissemination by local governmental agencies. Generally, these grants are due late in the year and funding is then announced for the fiscal year following the application and review process. When applying for CDBG funds, you or your agency will most likely be asked to give a presentation to the review committee. CDBG funds are an excellent resource for wheelchair ramp construction in communities across the nation. You must contact your state office to apply.
Multiple Sclerosis Society Home Modification Program
The Multiple Sclerosis Society Home Modification Program accepts requests from individuals in need of assistive devices such as wheelchair ramps, bath and shower grab bars, and handrails. Requests may be submitted in letter form. Requests may be submitted year-round; there are no specific deadlines. To contact the branch nearest you, fill in the form provided at the national website.
Muscular Dystrophy Association
The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) provides assistance throughout the year to individuals and families coping with muscular dystrophy and related illnesses. The organization provides equipment and accessibility devices, including wheelchair ramps, to those in need. The simple-to-use application is available on the MDA website. MDA also provides a myriad of support services, including home and school visits, social activities and assistance with funeral expenses.

Dave Chappelle's Comedy Specials Were Netflix's Most Viewed Ever
Deep in the Heart of Texas and The Age of Spin were big hits for the streaming company.
Netflix invested heavily in bringing Dave Chappelle back with his first comedy specials in a over a decade. Two hour-long shows dropped on the streaming service in March and, according to reports, they have proven to be Netflix's biggest hits so far in that medium.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Netflix told its shareholders in a first quarter report that Chappelle's specials were their most viewed comedy specials ever. "The triumphant return of a comedy legend in Dave Chappelle: Collection 1 was our most viewed comedy special ever," the company stated in a letter to shareholders.

The two specials in Collection 1, titled Deep in the Heart of Texas and The Age of Spin, will be followed by a third hour later this year. Netflix reportedly paid Chappelle $60m for the three specials.

Android 9 patch: Android 9 patch viewer coming soon with filters and categories.
Android 9 patch viewer coming soon with filters and categories.
I have received 2 request to add some sort of categories to the images in the app.
Since the number of patches is closing on one thousand, I will have to start thinking of a way to do just so.
My next effort regarding the android 9 patch viewer app will be to add filters and categories.
The collection was just a bunch of files previously, but now will need to get some organisation which was not part of the original design.
This will require quite some rework of the current code, so be patient.
In my application I use 3 animations when one starts another goes slow. Can anything be done to overcome this problem. If possible please mail me how to do on bamadeva4java@gmail.com and I'll remain grateful to you.
I would suggest you post a complete questio, with as much details as you can on stackoverflow.com.
They have facilities to post code so we can have a better idea what could cause your problem.
I just found your blog tonight and bought your app right away. Just wanted to also express my desire for some categorization of the images. I just started using 9-patch in my project, so forgive me if I am misunderstanding something. But it would be nice if I could find an icon that I like and then download ALL of the widget states related to that icon all at once. For example, focused, unfocused, pressed, enabled, disabled, etc. Right now I find one I like and I am unsure which of the other icons in the pack I should use for the different modes. Or maybe you don't include them, I'm not sure. Are each of the icons in the pack meant to be used as default state, and I need to modify them myself for the other states?
There is no real relation between all the 9 patches in the app. There are some packs I made with all 5 states for buttons, but there is no way at the moment to isolate them. You can find them one beside each other in the grid though.
Most of the 9 patch found in the apps are meant to be used for backgrounds, not buttons.
When I get around implementing the filtering mechanism, I'll make sure to include a way to group button states together to solve this issue.

Reconstructing New Orleans after the hurricane Katrina is one of the most involving city-rebuilding projects that have been taken on in US history. The challenges in reconstruction and recreation of what used to be is the aspect of having to decide and agree on which areas should be rebuild first. The federal and state government have received different opinions on what should be done on different areas. For example, suggestions to utilize a 150-acre piece of land in New Orleans for an amusement park or use it to create a retail mall are some of the conflicting suggestions that have come up. Much of the land has been controlled by the city since the rebuilding efforts in 2009.

What We're Into Right Now
An idiosyncratic orange wine from Umbria, a Midori-spiked vodka soda, a new red bitter liqueur from Calabria and more.
story: Punch Staff
photo: Lizzie Munro
Each month, we pull together a selection of drinking-related items that have, for one reason or another, grabbed the attention of PUNCH's editors, who spend pretty much all day, every day surrounded by booze. Here's what we're into right now.
2012 Paolo Bea "Arboreus" Umbria Bianco IGT | Talia Baiocchi, Editor in Chief
Paolo Bea is perhaps best known for his work with the sagrantino grape, which produces rich, rough-hewn red wines. But it's his mastery of orange wine that I first fell in love with more than a decade ago. I finally had the chance to visit Giampiero Bea (son of Paolo) at the family's winery in Montefalco last month. I gained a whole new appreciation for Arboreus, his skin-contact (aka "orange") wine based on the trebbiano Spoletino grape. It was historically common to to train trebbiano Spoletino up the trunks of maple trees, so the fruit is high off the ground, promoting airflow and thus guarding against disease. Arboreus is sourced from an ungrafted plot of tree-trained Spoletino, aged on the skins for nearly three weeks and then aged another two (minimum) without the skins. The wine is also blended with a very small amount of dried Spoletino grapes that are fermented separately and then blended in to round the wine's sharp edges. The 2012, which is about to enter the U.S. market is one of the very best examples of this wine I've tasted yet.
Golden Horseshoe | Chloe Frechette, Associate Editor
I've recently fallen into a bit of a tiki rabbit hole—reading every book I can get my hands on and exploring historic recipes both on paper and, of course, at the bar. I've enjoyed tracking the crossover between tiki and classic cocktails as elements of the tiki palette are increasingly common outside their namesake bars. Garret Richard's Golden Horseshoe demonstrates this crossover in a unique way; rather than injecting tiki flavors into a classic blueprint, he employs an essential tiki principle—the multitiered layering of flavors—to a classic stirred composition for an endlessly nuanced result.
Melon-Lime Soda at Katana Kitten | Lizzie Munro, Art Director
The menu at New York's Katana Kitten has an impressive selection of highballs, each served in a thick-rimmed beer mug. There's a Gin and Tonic (made with shiso), a Paloma (with toasted jasmine tea) and even a vodka soda, a.k.a. the drink of my college years, which is made bright green with matcha and Midori. It was one of the drinks highlighted in Kara Newman's recent article chronicling the melon liqueur's unironic return, and for good reason—it's delicious. Bright, refreshing and a little bit sweet, the Melon-Lime Soda tastes (thankfully) nothing like college.
2014 Punta Crena "Vigneto Ca da Rena" Pigato | Leslie Pariseau, Features Editor
It's not even close to pigato season, which has a lot to do with why this wine grabbed my attention last week at Popina in Brooklyn. A quintessential Ligurian grape, pigato is related to vermentino with a quality that reminds me of salty Goldfish crackers (a plus in my book). The Ruffino family, which makes Punta Crena, has been cultivating grapes along this stretch of Italian Riviera for five centuries, building stone terraces by hand and never filtering or fining. This vintage is aromatic and saline and a gorgeous sunny gold color. It's nice to drink something that evokes July on the Mediterranean when, in actuality, it's five degrees and the East River is craggy with ice floats.
Bialetti con Braulio | Allison Hamlin, Partnerships Manager
Ready for your next post-prandial dinner party trick by way of Milan? Fill the bottom chamber of your Bialetti moka pot with half the usual water, and half with Braulio. Add coffee to the filter basket and percolate as usual. Serve in espresso cups with a lemon twist. Hypothetically you could replace the Braulio with any amaro, but I'm partial to that whole brooding, alpine flavor profile. Sweet, bitter, boozy and extremely low-impact—I've been drinking a lot of these to get me though the winter doldrums.
2017 Château de Bonnezeaux La Montagne "Cuvée Salve Regina" | Jon Bonné, Senior Contributing Editor
Chenin is the thing these days, and the Anjou, in France's western Loire, has become the place for it. Within just a few years, names that were relatively obscure—thinking Richard Leroy, Mark Angeli and, more recently, Stéphane Bernaudeau—have become minor cult figures. Just one glitch: there aren't a whole lot of these wines to go around. La Montagne is a mix of fruit from 70-year-old vines in Bonnezeaux itself, plus a bit more in the Layon area; the 2017 is just the second vintage, and when I drank it not long ago at Ferris, in midtown Manhattan, it was intense and darkly mineral as wines from that area should be. It also more than kept pace with a bottle of Bernaudeau's Les Onglés, a benchmark for exceptional chenin from that area. So it's nice to have another addition to this roster, since these wines are quickly becoming the epitome of fashion.
Caffo Mezzodi L'Aperitivo and Red Bitter | Robert Simonson, Contributing Editor
The United States has recently been flooded with red bitters, both old labels newly imported from Italy, and new bottlings from American craft distillers. Still, it's always nice to be introduced to a worthy new expression. I recently became acquainted with the Red Bitter and Mezzodi L'Aperitivo Italiano from Caffo, a Calabrian producer that dates back to 1915. The Red Bitter is made with sweet and bitter oranges grown right on the Caffo property, lending the viscous drink a nice bittersweet hit. The Mezzodi is considerably lighter, both in alcohol and body, but pleasant enough. Both make good bases for spritzes, while the Red Bitter can sub for Campari in a Negroni. Caffo is an old-school firm, so both liqueurs get their bright red color from the cochineal insect. The appeal of both products is not hampered by the so-corny-its-cool label art, with its illustrations of solicitous waiters and bartenders rendered in blinding colors.
El Guapo Chicory Pecan Bitters | Megan Krigbaum, Contributing Editor
On my last trip to Kalustyan's, a bottle of these bitters had felicitously been dropped on the tiles of the second floor. The room filled up with this Braulio-meets-espresso-meets-bake-shop scent and before I knew it, I was sniffing the paper towel the clerk was using to mop up the mess. The New Orleans-made bitters have since been finding their way into drinks I've made with whiskey and aged rum, like the Old-Fashioned, to which it adds just the right hearty bass note.

The Golden Age of Animation
The golden age of animation spanned from the late 1920's to the early 1960's, when sound was added to cartoons. Walt Disney had a strong hold on this area but he was not the only one. Several other major studios also decided they wanted a slice of the pie. Some failed and others gave Disney a run for their money! In this article we'll looked at the major companies, their creation's first appearance on film and their attempts to knock Disney off his throne!
Fleischer Studios
Originally known as Inkwell Studios (the name changed in 1929), Fleischer Studios was founded by brothers Max and Dave Fleischer in 1921. They created Betty Boop (1932), Popeye the Sailor (1933) and the first Superman cartoon (1941). They also produced two films, Gulliver's Travels in 1939 and Mr Bug Goes to Town in 1942. The brothers gave Paramount full ownership of the studio in May 1941 due to all their debts. Paramount kept them as heads of the studio until 1942 when Max decided he could no longer work with his brother after they fell out and refused to talk to each other. Combined with the flop of Mr Bug Goes to Town, Paramount fired the brothers and renamed the studio Famous Studios.
Popeye the Sailor
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
From 1930 to 1934 Ub Iwerks and his studio (Iwerks Studio) was contracted by Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer to create cartoons for them to distribute. Originally Ub worked for Disney and co-created Mickey Mouse. However because he felt unable to keep up with Disney's demands or that he wasn't getting enough credit for his work and finally after a falling out with Disney, he left to set up his own studio. Ub created Flip the Frog and Willie Whopper. Unfortunately neither of the cartoons took off and Iwerks contract wasn't renewed. He ended up returning to work for Disney in 1940.
MGM brought in Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising (also former Disney employees) in the hopes that their popular creation Bosko and their new cartoon show Happy Harmonies to take off. They didn't and in 1939 they were let go. The pair would go on to work for Disney and MGM later on.
Finally in 1940 William Hanna and Joseph Barbera joined MGM, with Tex Avery brought in in 1942. Their first creation Puss Gets the Boot was a success! Spurred on, the duo continued to use a cat and mouse format and soon Tom and Jerry was born. Finally a studio could compete with Disney! Ising made The Milky Way, a feature film which would win an Oscar beating Disney. Tex Avery would end up creating Droopy. This team would go on to work up until 1957 when MGM shut down its animation department due to downsizing.

Happy Harmonies – Bosko's Parlor Pranks
Puss Gets the Boot
Mintz/Screen Gems/United Productions of America
After being fired by Universal, Charles Mintz would set up his own studio (Mintz Studio) which would make cartoons for Columbia Pictures. For them he would animate the comic strip Krazy Kat, Scrappy and Color Rhapsodies. Scrappy was Charles' only success and he sold his studio to Columbia in 1939. It was renamed Screen Gems but unfortunately Charles died after a year of managing it. Columbia brought in Frank Tashlin and John Hubley (former Disney employees too). During their time at Screen Gems, they created The Fox and the Crow which was a moderate success. Still Columbia felt like it could never compete with the other studios and decided to close it down in 1946, although both Tashlin and Hubley had both left by then and it was now being run by Dave Fleischer.
John Hubley along with other former Disney animators formed a studio in 1943. Originally named Industrial Film and Poster Service but by 1946 it would be known by the United Productions of America. The studio joined with Columbia Pictures in 1948. UPA would produce more abstract and experimental styles of animation and created the popular Mr Magoo in 1949.

Walter Lantz Productions
Walter Lantz and his studio replaced Charles Mintz at Universal Studios in 1929. He worked with characters others had created before him (Oswald the Lucky Rabbit created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks) and a few of his own (Jolly Little Elves). It wasn't till he created Andy Panda in 1939 that his work took off and a new character would be born. Woody Woodpecker!
In 1929 Warner Bros. hired Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising where they first created their Bosko character, Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. When Harmon and Ising left, producer Leon Schlesinger created his own studios (Leon Schlesinger Productions) to provide Warner Bros. with cartoons. Along with Friz Freleng and others, he continued with the Merrie Melodies and created a new character named Buddy. In 1935 Porky Pig would be created by Freleng and Bob Clampett. When Tex Avery was brought in, in 1937, he created Daffy Duck and in 1938 Bugs Bunny was born! These creations also put the studio on competing level with Disney.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Ozzie! What a wonderful comprehensive look at animation without having to go to a bunch of different sites (although you did just for us).
What do you think would have happened if MGM hadn't shut down their animation department? They seemed to be doing very well and I've always loved Tom and Jerry. No dialogue required to get what was going on.
Also, why do you think Walt was able to go on to be so successful with Disney and Mickey Mouse with all these competitors?
I really am a fan of old school animation and cartoons. I remember most of these clips you provided!!! 🙂
ozzie20 March 12, 2013 at 8:32 PM #
Thank you LB!
If I remember correctly MGM did restart their animation department except it was out sourced to another country. I still haven't found out which country yet!
I think Walt was successful because of a number of reasons. He never gave up,and he was a very creative man, always looking forwards and never back. He was ahead of the game, Steamboat Willie was one of the first cartoons with sound and made feature length cartoons. Despite many animators leaving for various reasons (strike or a fall out), he took them back in if they returned later on. So I think he had a keen eye to spot talent. But I think the major thing was that Walt possessed a rare gift of being able to connect to the inner child in all of us, not just children.
I love old school animation too. Although I can't remember specific cartoons, I do remember their style!
littlebells March 12, 2013 at 9:46 PM #
Thank you Ozzie. I agree! i also think that it was Walt's "mission". This was his purpose, imo. He has brought joy to so many people and that's what it was all about for him. It wasn't the money. He lived simply.

Cool Ozzie,
It will take me awhile to get through all of this, so I'll definitely comment later. Instead of just looking at old cartoons; it's great to see Disney in this context because it tells us what the competition was doing. Thanks for the wide-ranging review.
Thank you CR!
Yeah, there's kind of alot of videos there! I just got so excited by finding them that I had to add them. Everyone can enjoy it then!

Ozzie!
Love it! Which one is your favorite?
Tom and Gerry! Outside of disney cartoons and films, they were my next go to cartoons. 🙂
I like Tom & Jerry too. Were cartoons shown non-stop on TV in the UK like in the US?
Well, when I was young there were cartoons running from 5am to 9am and then 3:30pm till 5 or 6pm. As satelite and cable was introduced chanels specifically for kids. I didn't get satelite TV till I was in my late teens so I can't say what they were like then. Now, there are numerous channels that broadcast from about 5am till 9pm. So it's definately a yes now!

Ozzie,
Awesome article! Why do you think no one could really compete with Disney? Did you know that Mickey Mouse isn't Walt's first character? His first character was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. I don't really recall how it happened but Oswald was stolen from him by another rival animator because I don't think Disney had the proper copyrights in place and thus began the creation of Mickey (who is copyrighted to the hilt-trust me)
Mickey's original name was supposed to be Mortimer Mouse but Lillian (Walt's wife) convinced Walt that Mickey sounded better than Mortimer. Lillian actually thought up the name Mickey. Mickey was also first drawn on train ride ( can't remember the locations) but Walt did his first drawing of Mickey on a train.
It does pay to listen to your wife!
Paris-
U Said: "It does pay to listen to your wife!"
LOVE IT!! Here's to wives everywhere. Applause for Mickey. The other name is a mouthful!
Thanks Paris! Umm, pure ignorance! *blushes* I sort of knew but didn't know about the different studios. As I kid I rarely paid attention to the beginning credits which stated which studio it was from. When I did start to notice it, it never really crossed my mind to question why there were other studios. I was aware but I just wanted the cartoons to start, lol! So it's been lurking round the back of my mind subconsciously and when I started doing research for Walt that I finally realised, it was a light bulb lighting up moment! I hope that made sense!
I did know about his original name but I didn't know it was his wife that convinced him to change it. I was also only aware of Steamboat Willie and nothing about a train!
This is for u LB
Hi OB!
I'm good. Can't wait for spring only a week to go. How are u?
Its snowing here! how are you?
Yuck! Snow….I'm sending u a cyber sea shell to hear the ocean.
I'm helping Ozzie out. Watch this when you get a chance.
Paris- This is a great doc. I watched a little of it. I will have to come back and watch the rest. However, what I like hearing is how Walt tried a lot of different things to find himself as an artist.
yes he did. Did you know that he drove an ambulance in France during WW2? He would draw on the canvas covering the truck he drove.
I'm sorry I'm still watching the video. I did get that far in the doc about his time in the Red Cross during WWII. What's great is how he went after things so aggressively. He never let himself settle into a comfort zone and did not dwell on the negative.
What a great video! I will have to watch it later this evening…:)
I'm sure this is the DVD we brought back from Disney. I still can't find it though. I have a feeling it's in a box, within another box!
Hi LB!
Do you prefer old school animation over modern? What do you like about older animation? What do you like about new animation?
I like both. However, what I like about old school is the ability to focus more on the story. I like Tom & Jerry as well because there is no dialog just the story. What Walt was able to do with Bambi. That film to this day makes me cry. Pixar has breathed new life into animation the 3D animation is spectacular but the stories are just as heart felt and imaginative that appeals to both children and adults.
I agree with you on the storylines and the reason for Tom and Jerry. It also makes me nostalgic with it's artwork. Disney is my favorite with animation. I also liked how silly they could be with animals all singing and dancing around.
What is your favorite Disney character?
Aurora.
because I want her dress. (still do) I always wanted a dress that changed colors while i danced. That's it.
Hahaha! That's it? Gosh! Its always the costume that gets all the attention. Love it!
yep. that's it.
Mmmm… It used to be Sleeping Beauty because she is so beautiful and I loved Prince Philip. Now I prefer Rapunzel and Merida because they have substance and actually do something in their films. 🙂
LB- I have to say. Sleeping Beauty got on my last nerve. Yet, u redeemed yourself with Rapunzel and Merida. Hahaha! ITA They are strong female characters.
Mine was Belle because she was intelligent and brave. She loved books and she was french! I'm still jealous of the library that the Beast built her. 😦
Me too with the library! I would loooove to have a library like that. But then my kids would never be fed or the house cleaned and I would probably end up not bathing too, so I guess it's a good thing I just have an itty bitty book collection. 🙂
This is hilarious. LOL!!! Just priceless LB. I love u! Pure honesty as always. No I can't top this.
Oz! If u ever wanted to get rid of me don't hire a hit man just put me in a library. Hahaha!
What was it about her that drove you crazy?
Hahaha! Well its sorta silly. However, when I was a child I was sick and could not go outside. I imagined all the things I would do if I could. Anyway, when I saw Sleeping Beauty I identified with her but when she woke up she didn't do anything. She got a new lease on life and didn't solve world hunger or find a cure for cancer. I thought what a slacker. It was incredibly frustrating.
P.S. Now that I'm better and can go outside. I haven't solved world hunger or found a cure for cancer either. So I'm a slacker just like SB. Hahaha!
I prefer old school. I'm just that way.
Speaking of Bambi, my grandfather used to be a hunter and would mount the heads of the deer he shot on his walls. Anyhow, my mom and aunt took my cousin to see Bambi and my cousin came home crying to my grandfather "You shot Bambi's mother!" LOL
OMGOSH!!! I feel for your cousin. Did your cousin ever hunt deer after that?
no she doesn't hunt at all. However, I have many family members that hunt
AWESOME!!!! Then it was effective. I like your cousin. Bambi changed me for life too. While I was on a train I once saw someone skinning a deer on their front lawn with all the blood draining. Needless to say I lost my lunch that day and had nightmares after. I'm a sap.
oh wow. Yeah I've been around a gutted deer. Not fun at all.
Did u know Humans are natural plant eaters? We're most similar to other plant-eaters, and drastically different from carnivores and true omnivores.
I did not know that. Interesting.
http://www.celestialhealing.net/physicalveg3.htm
Have u ever hunted? Please tell me no!! Lie to me please…..:0)
I can truthfully say that I never have but I have shot a gun.
I've shot a water gun does that count?
sure. that can count. 🙂
I think hunters should hunt deer with water guns. What do u think?
I like both too. Old school is very comforting. It reminds me of watching them as a child in front of the fire! With modern animation I love the detail and realism (the texture of clothes and hair). Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming though.
Sorry Ladies for not chatting alot tonight. My mind is in L.A.
No problem. I'm still watching your video…..: 0) I'm addicted. LOL!!
What's it doing over there? 🙂
beckoning the rest of my body. 🙂 you know "Have Mind Will Travel."
Did the clocks go forward an hour in the US?
yes. yesterday, I think.
Extremely tired with stress headaches. I have to keep reminding myself that this is all problems of the first world and that I could have it alot worse. It's hard to keep it up when the pounding of the headache matches the hammering… The sight of builder's cracks doesn't help either, lol!
Ouch! Headaches aren't fun. Well thank u for a great topic and discussion despite not feeling well.
Yes! It was Sunday. I've been playing catch up ever since. But Spring is almost here! Yes!!!!!!
Damn! I knew it was soon but I didn't know exactly when. Then again, I don't know when ours change either, lol! It's soon, next week I think…
I'm taking off for the evening. TTYS!
Goodnight! Thanks for the video.
Everyone! I have to go. Ozzie great article. It was great to take a trip back in time. Great research.
Goodnight All!
Night Paris and OB! Sorry, I didn't get here earlier. I'll have to make a note to remind me to come here an hour earlier till my time zone springs an hour forward! Thanks for coming and thank you for the video Paris! It will be of a lot of help to me! 🙂

Mylene Farmer
Ask anyone - who is the most famous contemporary French singer? I am sure many will call the name Mylene Farmer. Let's consider what is true and what is false in the life of this extraordinary woman.
Appearing on the Champs Elysees, Mylène Farmer is able to stop traffic by one of her looks. Of course, there are no many kilometers of traffic jams, but there are always enough people who want to look at the star and get an autograph. In the center of Paris, the singer appears quite often, as her favorite store "M uji" is located there, which offers a varied selection of goods - from clothes to furniture. And the fact that people are drawn to Mylene is favored by the following myth.
Mylene Farmer loves to be naked in public. This myth arose from the rather provocative clips of Mylene. For example, in "L'amour n'est rien", which was filmed in 2006, the singer strips completely, although at that time the singer was 45 years old. There is no doubt about the exhibitionist inclinations of the singer, although Farmer herself assures that behind her nakedness she skillfully hides the true "I", she gives people the opportunity to discuss her body and behavior, but they do not affect her soul. In life, Mylene is quite restrained, in a lingerie store she can be embarrassed by an overly helpful consultant, her openness is realized in clips: "When I appear naked in a video, I do not call it shamelessness, because it happens in a certain context." The public may be shocked by this behavior, but the songs are at the top of the charts!
Mylene Farmer is engaged in black magic. For pious citizens, the singer's behavior in the videos, her appearance with fiery red hair, and all behavior is an indicator of cooperation with unclean forces. And in the finale of one of the singer's last shows, skeletons and naked mannequins galloped around the stage, while Mylene herself appeared in white robes as a victim for hell. Farmer chose the image of a witch, with accompanying attributes - she was sexy, aggressive, desperate, she smelled of darkness and death. In real life, the singer is a Buddhist, she admitted that her favorite book is the philosophical "Tibetan Book of Life and Death". Recently the paparazzi saw Farmer emerge from the Manhattan Buddhist Temple.
Mylene Farmer leaves France and settles in America. Of course, even local temples have already begun to visit. Rumors did not appear from scratch. While filming Giorgino in 1994, Farmer fell in love with her partner, American musician and actor Jeff Dahlgren. He soon became a full-fledged member of her team as a guitarist. It was with him that the singer spent nine sweet months in Los Angeles. In America, she received peace, optimism, deliverance from the obsessive fuss of domestic journalists. But soon Farmer returned to France, because it was she who made a world star out of a timid eight-year-old Canadian girl, although she instilled in this a lot of complexes.
The singer always wanted to become a boy. This is one of the many complexes of Mylene, who has never had close friends. After all, even as a child, she loved to play war with boys and collect soldiers. Mylene opened up: "I even stuffed a handkerchief into my pants to be more like my friends!" Until the age of 14, the girl wore a short hairstyle and flatly refused skirts, preferring trousers. Interestingly, as a child, her favorite book was "The Military, Public and Private Life of Mademoiselle d'Eon", which told about the adventurous adventures of a secret agent, moreover, an unconventional orientation. What influence could such literature have on the fragile psyche of a teenager?
Mylene doesn't like men. According to the previous myth, this would not be surprising. However, this is not true, Mylene Farmer has never been seen in unconventional contacts. Moreover, the public watched her longest affair with Laurent Button for 10 years. It was Laurent who created a cultural phenomenon named Mylene Farmen. He is famous for the fact that at the age of 17, using money stolen from his parents, he shot the scandalous film "The Ballad of the Fairy Guide", which was immediately banned from showing to children under 18 years of age. Soon the young man became interested in music, having written several compositions. In search of a performer for the song "Maman a tort" in 1984, Laurent got into a modeling agency, where he met Mylene.
The singer was a great fashion model in her youth. And it's true, the girl started filming for commercials so that she could pay for her art school and living expenses. Despite the fact that in her youth, Mylene wanted to be a horse riding instructor, she soon suddenly changed her mind, deciding to become an actress. Farmer applied to the acting department and easily entered it. However, she did not have time to finish it, as she met Laurent. Who would have thought that this meeting at the agency would mark the beginning of a long creative and love union? As a result of joint creativity, vivid video clips appeared, each of which is a mini-film, as a result of which Mylene was able to realize her artistic talents. Also, the producer helped the singer to play a full-fledged role in the movie, in the film "Georgino". The film seemed to be a continuation of the singer's clips, absorbing love, death, blood ... And Milen's partner in the film became her new lover. However, the film was not widely accepted by the public and was soon discontinued. This was the reason for Milena's break with Laurent, a break in love, but not creative!
The singer received a marriage proposal from Jean-Paul Gaultier. The press also attributed the famous couturier to the fans of Mylene. In fact, Farmer and Gaultier have been friends for a long time, but the man could not offer the singer anything except bright costumes for the stage and a wedding dress, because it is known that Jean-Paul is a homosexual. It can be summed up by saying that Gaultier spoke on behalf of all the gay people in the country, because Farmer became for them a desired and cult object for sexual minorities after the release of "Sans contrefacon". The singer herself considers this audience especially vulnerable and sensitive, paying tribute to its avant-garde. Mylene shares with them the desire to be different, realizing that this makes life much more difficult. However, gays are by no means the bulk of the fans.
Farmer regularly has romance with famous musicians. It's hard to say something definite about this. On the one hand, Robbie Williams says that he loves watching Mylene's erotic videos, and on the other hand, the couple have never been seen together. The press ascribes to the singer an affair with the black soul singer Seal, who also recorded a duet with her in 2001 "Les mots". It is noteworthy that Farmer herself included the song in the list of her greatest hits, this collection became one of the best-selling in the history of French music.
Mylene Farmer tried to kill one of the fan graphomaniacs. Well, the story is not uncommon for show business stars. In addition, concerts are so popular that tickets on sale cannot be found, and the singer herself is bombarded with gifts and letters. Unsurprisingly, one fan literally went crazy when he didn't get a response to his hundred letters. Following the proverb about the mountain and Mohammed, on November 14, 1991, he went in search of the object of worship. In the recording studio, he was denied an address, for which the intractable secretary paid with her life from the maniac's shot. The fan left one more bullet for himself ... And Farmer usually refuses the offered protection.
The singer stopped giving interviews a long time ago, nothing is known about her. In fact, Mylene communicates with journalists, although he does it quite rarely, preferring monosyllabic answers. Although not so long ago, she gave an exclusive large interview, in which she told a lot of interesting things. It became known that Farmer dreams of becoming immortal, he treats plastic surgery badly, but, on the contrary, he treats healthy eating well. Readers learned that it is very difficult for the singer to find a kindred spirit, and for many actions she simply does not have enough courage. By the way, Milen also refers to these as having children.
Mylene Farmer doesn't like children. This myth was born on the basis that in the singer's videos, children appear either weak or evil. Perhaps such images are accompanied by memories of her childhood, which remained behind the curtain for inquisitive journalists - after all, the singer does not like to remember him, citing forgetfulness. One thing is for sure, the time of childhood did not become a bright and bright memory for Mylene. Although her parents did not bully her, the girl felt that something was wrong. In addition, every Sunday she visited the patients of the Gachet hospital, where she encountered autistic patients, paralyzed ... Do you really want to remember such a childhood? At the end of the 80s, the stars presented their own mini-films on television. Farmer's plot told about the Gachet hospital. The singer talked about a girl with fragility of bones. The name of her ailment sounded too beautiful for a disease ... It is clear that the image of the child-hater does not fit in with Mylene. It would seem that she is not going to become a mother herself, but there is a myth ...
Mylene Farmer has a child. And this is true, and his name is as the hero of the Steven Spielberg film - E.T. Farmer says of him: "He is afraid of drafts, and I do my best to ensure that he does not catch a cold." Mylene allows her child any pranks, she herself playing with him. About E.T. they even made a small film, it shows how the baby sleeps, curled up in a ball, how he drinks, how he stains the sheets with a ballpoint pen. Farmer is having fun with this fidget behavior, it is impossible to take away his favorite toy, because he screams loudly. E.T. playing with the phone, scattering matches, playing with plush toys, eating sweets. But the peculiarity of the baby is that he is a monkey. Milen considers it charming that a small copy of a person lives with her, in the future she would like to have several more monkeys in the house. The singer has no child, which indicates her difficult attitude towards herself, children and the world around her.
