95% Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel

All Critics (55) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (52) | Rotten (3)

Her life, and her work, transcended what we think of as "fashion." Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel celebrates a unique and uniquely determined woman.

Many people remember some of Diana Vreeland's famous pronouncements ("I adore pink! It is the navy blue of India!") but few remember actually hearing her speak. The documentary Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel takes care of that.

For fashionphiles and pop culture vultures, there's much to devour.

Diana Vreeland is both history lesson and sentimental love letter to a fashion titan.

Legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland was the consummate dreamer, a romantic who never looked back and propelled society forward.

A feast for fashion-history buffs and anyone who applauds unstoppable eccentricity.

The filmmakers have done a fine job corralling so many fantastic tales from Vreeland's life.

"Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel" is an intriguing portrait of a true original; you only wish the movie had half the color and verve of its subject.

A lively movie, and in the case of its appearance-obsessed subject, it feels right that all it does is skim the surface.

[Vreeland's] influence on twentieth-century culture was large, and it's celebrated here with affection, dedication and skill--but very little critical detachment.

Though unwilling to dig too deeply into what seems an imperfect private life, it still serves as a splendid introduction to a unique personality.

A poignant portrait of an inveterate iconoclast who couldn't help but push the envelope.

[A] warm portrait of the world's first true fashion maven.

It can be hard to keep up at points -- not with the plot, but with the amount of inspiration that Diana can still strew over an audience.

As a biographical documentary, Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel is complete and satisfying. As a leading character, Mrs. Vreeland is entirely entertaining.

Vreeland's attention to detail, her love of new and exciting images, her devotion to and ability to identify, that ethereal thing called style, come across loudly and clearly.

Govt urges team-building exercises | Fijisun.com.fj

By MAIKA BOLATIKI

Permanent secretaries in Government ministries have been urged to involve their staff in team-building exercises.
The call was from the Permanent Secretary in the Prime Minister?s Office, Lieutenant-Colonel Pio Tikoduadua.
He was replying to an invitation by Warwick Pleass, the managing director of Pleass Global Limited, at the opening of the Kila Eco Adventure Park and Kila Organics at Namosi.
Lieutenant-Colonel Tikoduadua said staff of the Prime Minister?s Office usually do team-building exercises at the Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) camp in Nabua. However,? he said they would use the Kila Park facilities for their team-building exercises next year.
?I?m asking all permanent secretaries to make use of the facilities at the park for their team building exercises,? he said.
A group of women and men from the RFMF were going through their paces on the high ropes at the park.
?It?s great for them to have access to this facility. This is a place for companies and government agencies to bring their people to for exercises in personal and group development.?
He said team-building exercises could be used by any business, large or small, to promote better teamwork in the workplace. ?Most business owners and managers know that great teamwork is one of the key factors associated with a company?s success.?
Lieutenant-Colonel Tikoduadua said team-building activities should bolster the work employees complete together and provide a genuine opportunity to relax and unwind.
He has urged all government ministries to involve their staff in team building exercises because it could improve work output.

Likely Benefits of Solar Panel Installation

In Canada, solar panel are becoming a priority. It's time for the world to invest in solar panels systems, we are all responsible for our carbon footprint and should be actively trying to live greener.

View all articles by Adrianna Noton With the new green energy movement, many people are seeing more and more of these dark panels on nearby roofs. It is enough to make people wonder what the benefits of solar panel installation truly are. There are many, although these devices are not without their downsides, just like most other technology.

Panels capture energy from sunlight and store it in a battery as electricity. This energy is then run from the panels into your home, and powers your appliances, electronics, and other things such as electric water heaters or air conditioners. Because the energy is stored, you have access to it during the night as well as during the day when it is being generated.

Unlike energy created by burning coal, gasoline, or other fossil fuel sources, the sun is 'free' energy. The energy captured by these panels would otherwise be doing nothing more than perhaps raising the temperature of your roof a few fractions of a degree. And the sun will never run out out, at least not while the earth is capable of supporting human life.

Although the initial cost of installing panels can be high, many people never pay an electric bill again. The panels do not last forever and do have to replaced eventually, but depending on how much electricity your household uses, you can save a lot of money. A few cities, counties and green organizations offer rebates for purchasing the panels, as well.

Newer models are capable of collecting sunlight even on hazy or overcast days. It used to be that panels were only good for bright, sunny areas. But because sunlight does filter through the cloud layer, evident by the fact that even on a cloudy

affiliate_link day it is not as dark as nighttime, engineers have focused on figuring out how to capture it. Now, there are panels that can.

If you are hooked up to the electric grid, many electric companies will purchase your excess. This may enable you to recoup some of the cost of the system, or keep your electric bill over the year effectively at zero while using more in the winter and less in the summer. It's also a great way to make sure that you are never without power, because either the electric company or the panels should be providing energy.

For people who live off the grid, panels eliminate the need to live without electricity. They may make that new home you've always wanted on a parcel of land that is way off the beaten path more realistic. Having the electrical grid extended to include a home like this can be an expensive proposition, and panels are often a cheaper way to make sure you can turn on a reading lamp and take a hot shower.

The benefits of solar panel installation are many and varied. However, it is an outlay of often a significant amount of money, and not everyone is able or willing to do this. For the benefit of the earth and future generations, however, it is important that we move towards greener sources of energy, and panels are one of the great and realistic ways to do this during modern times.

In Canada, solar panel are becoming a priority. It's time for the world to invest in solar panels systems, we are all responsible for our carbon footprint and should be actively trying to live greener.

USC manager fired for deflating balls in loss

(AP) ? Southern California says it has fired a student manager who intentionally deflated game footballs below NCAA-mandated pressure levels for the Trojans' loss to Oregon last week.

USC announced the dismissal of the unnamed student manager on its website late Wednesday night.

The school says it was reprimanded and fined by the Pac-12.

Underinflated footballs are thought to be easier to catch and throw. The Ducks had little trouble throwing or catching throughout their 62-51 win, the worst defensive performance in USC history.

USC says game officials discovered some of the underinflated footballs before the game and others at halftime, fixing the balls before the second half.

USC says the student manager acknowledged he deflated the balls of his own accord after they had been checked by officials before the game.

News Analysis: How Science Can Build a Better You

IF a brain implant were safe and available and allowed you to operate your iPad or car using only thought, would you want one? What about an embedded device that gently bathed your brain in electrons and boosted memory and attention? Would you order one for your children?

In a future presidential election, would you vote for a candidate who had neural implants that helped optimize his or her alertness and functionality during a crisis, or in a candidates? debate? Would you vote for a commander in chief who wasn?t equipped with such a device?

If these seem like tinfoil-on-the-head questions, consider the case of Cathy Hutchinson. Paralyzed by a stroke, she recently drank a canister of coffee by using a prosthetic arm controlled by thought. She was helped by a device called Braingate, a tiny bed of electrons surgically implanted on her motor cortex and connected by a wire to a computer.

Working with a team of neuroscientists at Brown University, Ms. Hutchinson, then 58, was asked to imagine that she was moving her own arm. As her neurons fired, Braingate interpreted the mental commands and moved the artificial arm and humanlike hand to deliver the first coffee Ms. Hutchinson had raised to her own lips in 15 years.

Braingate has barely worked on just a handful of people, and it is years away from actually being useful. Yet it?s an example of nascent technologies that in the next two to three decades may transform life not only for the impaired, but also for the healthy.

Other medical technologies that might break through the enhancement barrier range from genetic modifications and stem-cell therapies that might make people cognitively more efficient to nano-bots that could one day repair and optimize molecular structures in cells.

Many researchers, including the Brown neuroscientist John Donoghue, leader of the Braingate team, adamantly oppose the use of their technologies for augmenting the nonimpaired. Yet some healthy Americans are already availing themselves of medical technologies. For years millions of college students and professionals have been popping powerful stimulants like Adderall and Provigil to take exams and to pull all-nighters. These drugs can be highly addictive and may not work for everyone. While more research is needed, so far no evidence has emerged that legions of users have been harmed. The same may be true for a modest use of steroids for athletes.

Which leads us to the crucial question: How far would you go to modify yourself using the latest medical technology? ?

Over the last couple of years during talks and lectures, I have asked thousands of people a hypothetical question that goes like this: ?If I could offer you a pill that allowed your child to increase his or her memory by 25 percent, would you give it to them??

The show of hands in this informal poll has been overwhelming, with 80 percent or more voting no.

Then I asked a follow-up question. ?What if this pill was safe and increased your kid?s grades from a B average to an A average?? People tittered nervously, looked around to see how others were voting as nearly half said yes. (Many didn?t vote at all.)

?And what if all of the other kids are taking the pill?? I asked. The tittering stopped and nearly everyone voted yes.

No pill now exists that can boost memory by 25 percent. Yet neuroscientists tell me that pharmaceutical companies are testing compounds in early stage human trials that may enable patients with dementia and other memory-stealing diseases to have better recall. No one knows if these will work to improve healthy people, but it?s possible that one will work in the future.

More intriguing is the notion that a supermemory or attention pill might be used someday by those with critical jobs like pilots, surgeons, police officers ? or the chief executive of the United States. In fact, we may demand that they use them, said the bioethicist Thomas H. Murray. ?It might actually be immoral for a surgeon not to take a drug that was safe and steadied his hand,? said Mr. Murray, the former president of the Hastings Center, a bioethics research group. ?That would be like using a scalpel that wasn?t sterile.?

HERE is a partial checklist of cutting-edge medical-technology therapies now under way or in an experimental phase that might lead to future enhancements.

More than 200,000 deaf people have had their hearing partially restored by a brain implant that receives sound waves and uses a minicomputer to process and deliver them directly into the brain via the cochlear (audio) nerve. New and experimental technologies could lead to devices that allow people with or possibly without hearing loss to hear better, possibly much better.
