![]() Therefore each element has 2 meridians, with the exception of Fire which has 4 (2+2+2+2+4=12 Meridians). Each of the elements has a Yin and Yang partnered meridian, and each of those has a corresponding physical location in the body. In TCM, the Five Elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Summary of Five Elements in the Clock Face The clock is intended as a teaching tool and as an aid to diagnosis and timing of treatment. It represents the five element, six channel, and 12 meridian theories of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and Veterinary Medicine (TCM/TCVM). This clock tells time and is an illustration of the path of Qi (Chi) or life force through the acupuncture meridians of the body during a 24-hour circadian day. It’s also a great way to start a conversation with clients about chronobiology. ![]() This colorful clock can be hung on a wall or stand on its own. ![]() It can be used to assist diagnosis, based on when symptoms appear in a Meridian or a Channel, and to enhance clinical results by performing treatments during the time Qi is concentrated in a pathway. The Meridian clock, spanning 13.5” in diameter, is a working timepiece designed to illustrate the five Elements, twelve Meridians, six Channels and the path of Qi energy as the day progresses. ![]()

![]() ![]() Now you can go back to being beautiful.” He’ll be a pig in shit at Aeon Flux.Īeon and her pal Sithandra (Sophie Okenedo) get assigned to leave the “civilian area” of the city and assassinate the handsome devil (Martin Csokas) in charge of all this… well, whatever it is he’s in charge of. A few months ago, Bill Maher expressed his disapproval with the poster of North Country-Theron with her face smudged and hair tied in a kerchief-by announcing, “All right, Charlize, we get it, you can act. If she clearly doesn’t perform the most acrobatic stunts, there’s no non sequitur when she lands-her endless legs spread wide, her palms flat on the ground, her eyes sparkling with amusement. As Aeon Flux (yes, that’s the character’s name), Theron wears a black Spandex stocking with a generous breach for cleavage, and Kusama photographs her as a tantalizing art object: elongated enough to compete with all the impressive modernist columns, and with enough wriggly curves to vanquish them utterly. It’s certainly more fun than a lot of films that get lovingly showcased. A planet-killer.įolks, I’ll never understand studios. Well except for maybe the green star trek chick.You won’t be reading reviews of the dystopian sci-fi flick Aeon Flux (Paramount) in the papers today because it wasn’t screened for the press-and, given that it cost the GDP of a small country and that Charlize Theron and the director, Karyn Kusama ( Girlfight), are critics’ darlings, this could mean but one thing: A stinker. Ladies, if you do that you win hands down. That's about all I have to say, so I'll close by saying we need more women dressing up as Aeon Flux at halloween parties. In all, a very different flavour but still very enjoyable, even if the episodes aren't the brain-teasers we had seen at first. ![]() At the same time, some of it became more poetic in a literal sense. The result was more plot driven, linear, humorous at times & random at times. Some of the episodes are still very good-the ones written by Peter Chung-but others were given to different writers who didn't have a clear grasp on the artistic concept. ![]() Another big change is that Aeon develops more of a consistent personality and morality (unlike in the shorts where she was an Existentialist to the max). The biggest change is that the characters speak. However when the actual series followed, MTV took more of an active role making changes that weren't always for the best. After the initial 6 shorts comes the Pilot which is also without dialogue and highly expressionistic as well as philosophically jam packed. What's the word I'm looking for? Oh right: bloody freaking whacktastic awesome. After all, what's interesting about political, mathematical & metaphysical themes? The answer: a hot assassin chick in a vinyl bikini with boobs that defy Newton's Laws of Physics, that's what. OK, I'm probably losing some of you, and that's to be expected. The scenes, each exactly 2 sec long, repeat in a scripted sequence that can only be described as mathematical (or as Peter says in the commentary, "musical"). But actually it's a very carefully orchestrated show. In "Tide" we're presented with some seemingly arbitrary, repeating scenes. Other episodes are more abstract but just as deliberate & defined. Tell the people to vote for the Republic and they'll vote for the Republic.") Bloody awesome. I can't help but wonder if Peter Chung was a fan of the 19th century French writer Maupassant ("Tell the people to vote for the Emperor and they'll vote for the Emperor. You can surmise what sort of statement he's making about the act of war & society's attitudes. Without noticing, we start out rooting for the black team, then the white team, back to black, white, black, etc. What Chung does is play on our fickle sympathies to make us change loyalties over & over. In the episode "War", we see a bunch of people killing people, getting killed, and more of the same. I'll give you just one example without really ruining anything. He doesn't always spell out the solution, but he gives some good hints that allow you to appreciate it on its intended philosophical level. I highly recommend watching the short, feeling like an idiot, and then watching it again with Peter's commentary. The best way to describe the shorts is to say they are visual puzzles for us to solve. This is no mere cartoon this is a revolution in storytelling. Essentially all rules are bent, broken, defecated upon and then handed back to us with a hint of Snuggle fabric softener. If at all possible, take it in chronological order since the first 6 shorts are what set the stage. What follows is a guide to getting the full bloody awesomeness out of this experience. I'll spare you the standard review and assume that you've already accepted that Aeon Flux is bloody awesome. ![]() ![]() In some cases a second visit to the website after the initial scan is required before exploit code is delivered.If exploitation is successful, then it will give the adversary code execution on the user's system unless other protections are in place.Upon finding a vulnerable version, exploit code is delivered to the browser.The user may be required to assist in this process by enabling scripting or active website components and ignoring warning dialog boxes.Scripts automatically execute, typically searching versions of the browser and plugins for a potentially vulnerable version.A user visits a website that is used to host the adversary controlled content.There are several known examples of this occurring.

![]() The LV monogram would soon appear on everything from bags and various fashion accessories to alligator-skin champagne cases, from stylish apparel and earrings to teddy bears and airplane models. It’s one of the earliest examples of fashion branding. The famous LV monogram was first used in 1896 as part of an initiative by Georges to prevent counterfeiting of his coveted new line of travel trunks. It’s only appropriate that it boasts one of the most recognizable insignias - the imaginative interlocking of letters and fleurettes - in the fashion world. The Louis Vuitton brand embodies all the attributes of luxury, from the craftsmanship, exclusivity and relevance to heritage. The largest travel-goods store in the world at the time, it became the company’s flagship. In 1914, a Louis Vuitton store opened at 70 Champs-Élysées. When Louis Vuitton died in 1892, control of the luxury house was passed onto his only son, Georges Vuitton. Travel’s popularity broadened in the late 19th century, and Vuitton’s trunks could easily be packed into train cars and ships - upright trunks meant hanging wardrobe storage that would allow his clients to transport their sophisticated garments without worry. In 1858, Vuitton debuted his lightweight, handcrafted canvas trunks, which were sturdy, rugged and equipped with convenient compartments. ![]() The most common trunks of the era were round, which weren’t ideal for toting and storing. Long before his brand would become known globally for its exemplary top-handle bags and stylish totes, Vuitton produced stackable and rectangular trunks. The craftsman opened a humble workshop on rue Neuve des Capucines and advertised his services with a small poster that read: “Securely packs the most fragile objects. In 1854, Vuitton launched his namesake company. ![]() He toiled as a box maker and packer for more than a decade and built relationships with royals and members of the upper class while working for the empress of France, Eugenie de Montijo. When he arrived in Paris, Vuitton made a living with his hands. With stops along the way to make money so that he could forge ahead, the journey took a couple of years, but reward was close at hand. The young Vuitton was 13 at the time and would need to travel on foot to get to the capital, which was hundreds of miles away. ![]() The company’s modest origins can be traced back to when its founder, Louis Vuitton (1821–92), wishing to free himself from the conventional lifestyle in his provincial French city of Anchay as well as a difficult stepmother, left in the early 1830s to make a new life in Paris. The story behind iconic luxury brand Louis Vuitton - best known for its esteemed handbags, crossbody bags, leather goods, ready-to-wear clothing and more - is one of craft and innovation in the worlds of fashion, jewelry and furniture. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to partnering with James, Pepsi will work with several influencers across sports and wellness to promote the new energy drink. "Given this synergy, we will be able to tell brand stories by shining a light on Lebron’s actions and mentality.” "It’s no secret that LeBron is one of the biggest cultural influencers in the world, but beyond his popularity, no one better exemplifies the idea of rising with ambition every single morning and that’s the premise on which MTN DEW RISE was built," Adam Harter, SVP, Media, Sports and Entertainment, PepsiCo,told Brand Innovators.

The image is aimed at inspiring consumers to channel their inner lion. Mountain Dew Rise Energy which comes in six flavors – Pomegranate Blue Burst, Orange Breeze, Strawberry Melon Spark, Tropical Sunrise, Berry Blitz, and Peach Mango Dawn – has a fierce lion on the can created by PepsiCo’s in-house design team. A longtime integrated sponsor of the NBA, Mountain Dew and its sister brands spend upwards of $100 million a year on media campaigns that have shaped pop culture for decades. The partnership with James is a natural for the brand. I'm excited about the opportunity to bring that to life through this partnership with PepsiCo.” "The ability to rise and find motivation to do more and be more every single morning is powerful. When I first learned about the message behind the drink – the fact that every day is a chance to rise for all of us – that really resonated with me," James said, in a statement. "It's important to me that I believe in the brands and products where I invest my time. Pepsi is pitching the product as a sugar-free morning replacement for coffee that offers immune support while helping consumers fire up their ambition and conquer the day. Mountain Dew Rise Energy is a caffeinated fruit drink fortified with vitamins A and C, antioxidants and Zinc. PepsiCo brand Mountain Dew has tapped LeBron James to help launch a new energy drink in a move to associate the beverage with the NBA icon’s motivation and hard work. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pooky's Phileas lamps are the sweetest little lights and, since they are battery powered and dimmable, they fit the bill for this nicely.

Solar Orbiter combines two main modes of study. It will take Solar Orbiter about two years to reach its primary science orbit. Solar Orbiter will spend about three months in its commissioning phase, during which the mission team will run checks on the spacecraft’s 10 scientific instruments to ensure they are working properly. “By the end of our Solar Orbiter mission, we will know more about the hidden force responsible for the Sun’s changing behavior and its influence on our home planet than ever before.” “As humans, we have always been familiar with the importance of the Sun to life on Earth, observing it and investigating how it works in detail, but we have also long known it has the potential to disrupt everyday life should we be in the firing line of a powerful solar storm,” said Günther Hasinger, ESA director of Science. This trajectory includes 22 close approaches to the Sun, bringing the spacecraft within the orbit of Mercury to study the Sun and its influence on space.
