The new ivory rules ban the commercial import of African elephant ivory.
New restrictions on the ivory trade designed to create «a near complete ban» on the commercial sale of African elephant ivory in the U.S. were announced Tuesday by the Obama Administration.

UNCHAIN MY HEART
by Joe Cocker
Unchain my heart.
Baby, let me be,
‘Cause you don’t care.
Please, set me free.
Unchain my heart,
Baby, let me go.
Unchain my heart,
‘Cause you don’t love me no more.

Hugh Turvey is a British artist and photographer who uses x-ray technology to create what he calls Xograms, a fusion of visible light and x-ray imagery.

Who doesn’t have a favourite line, an iconic moment from film lodged in our minds?

Gertrude Stein
Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was an American writer of novels, poetry and plays that eschewed the narrative, linear, and temporal conventions of 19th-century literature, and a fervent collector of Modernist art. She was born in West Allegheny (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, raised in Oakland, California, and moved to Paris in 1903, making France her home for the remainder of her life.
