<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Khalid's dreams ran wild, and in times as grim as ours, he felt he could
not afford to lose them – he had no choice but to chase his dreams. That is why
Khalid al-Jawahir, who appeared to be an ordinary carpet weaver, married the
prettiest girl of Tehran, gave her five sons and then decided to give up his
steady income and follow his dream to open the first Domino's Pizza in Iran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">The night Khalid told his wife Yasmin about his decision, she made sure
he didn't see her cry her eyes out. She wanted to support her husband, but
secretly, she wondered why Khalid didn't feel as strongly about supporting his
family. How would she be able to feed their sons if this whole thing
failed?<br />
Khalid's father was the first to oppose him. Not because he was worried about
his son's financial position but because he didn't want his son to abandon the
family tradition: creating magic carpets.<br />
"But father," Khalid said, "don't you realize that nobody wants
magic carpets any more? I haven't used our magic since you introduced me to the
craft. I've spent all my days, weeks, years weaving ordinary carpets, without a
single flying thread to them. I think our market is satisfied."<br />
It was true, their clientèle was a very select group of people, and all who
knew about the family's speciality already owned a beautifully crafted
al-Jawahir carpet.<br />
That's why Khalid travelled to England to take part in the Domino's Franchise
Development Programme. Because the smallest muscles in his fingers had been
exercised by years of weaving intricate patterns, he turned out to be
marvellous at kneading, rolling and spinning the dough and chopping up
toppings. His trainer was impressed with his entrepreneurial skills as well.
Everyone was convinced Khalid was the right person to bring the first Domino's
to Iran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Unfortunately, the Supreme Leader disagreed. He decided Tehran had no
need for an American fast food joint. Disappointed and embarrassed, Khalid had
to return to the carpet weaving workshop. But he couldn't let go of his dream,
and every night when he got home from work, he joined Yasmin in the kitchen to
exercise his pizza making skills.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Two weeks after he had forbidden Khalid to open a Domino's franchise in
Tehran, the Supreme Leader of Iran was in a meeting with the Council of
Guardians. The twelve jurists were going on and on about matters that were of
incredible importance, but something kept distracting the Supreme Leader: a
gnawing feeling in his stomach. He kept shifting in his chair and staring at
the setting sun, until one of the Guardians asked </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">him directly what was on his
mind.<br />
"If you must know..." His agitated voice frightened all who were
present. "<span style="text-decoration: none;">I'm hungry</span>."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
At that exact moment, Khalid was rolling out a very thin pizza base. He felt an
exhilarating breeze brush over his hands. He had only felt something similar
once before: when his father showed him how to weave a carpet in order to make
it fly. With the greatest care, he spread liquid cheese, mozzarella, tomato
sauce, fresh tomato, green pepper, mushrooms, onion and sweetcorn over the
pizza base and popped it in the oven. He couldn't shake the tingling feeling
and kept watching the oven door as if it were a television, until the pizza was
done. The moment he opened the oven, Yasmin entered the kitchen and she
witnessed the miracle. The Double Decadence Vegetarian Supreme was floating in
the middle of the oven, it's base baked to crusty perfection. It tilted a little
bit, as if to nod or show its best side to its maker, and then raced out of the
window to deliver itself the hungry Supreme Leader.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The next day, Khalid received a message from the Supreme Leader,
thanking him for the delicious meal. The note said: "though I am still
opposed against opening American fast food joints in our capital city, I have
changed my mind about Domino's Pizza. After yesterday's outstanding
performance, I have realised that Domino's is not a fast food joint. You
managed to deliver good, freshly prepared food fast. There's a
difference."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">To the Supreme Leader's delight, Khalid recruited Yasmin, his father and
his oldest sons and launched the first Domino's Pizza in Tehran that same
month. And whenever the Supreme Leader spoke the magical words <span style="text-decoration: none;">I'm hungry</span>, a</span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">n enchanting
breeze would brush over Khalid's fingers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

"I've found the most reliable business partner
in the world," says Millie Harris, one of Surrey's most remarkable
entrepreneurs. "When we decided to take a puppy, we would never have
guessed that he would double our family savings!" She's talking about her
dog Ollie, who is a professional waiter and entertainer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
We're sitting in her suburban living room with
French doors that lead to a spacious garden. Millie sees me look at a large
painting of a boy and girl with a big blond dog. "We knew Ollie was good
with kids. That was the main reason why we wanted a Golden Retriever. They are
always up for a cuddle and eager to learn new tricks."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
"One day, my husband, who is a builder, came
home from work and he was absolutely knackered. He sat down, switched on the telly and told me to get him a beer. Ollie immediately followed me to the kitchen.
When I opened the fridge, he looked at me with those big eyes, as if he was
asking: 'Shall I do it?' I thought it would be a laugh, so I put the can
between his jaws and sent him back in."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

"Two weeks later, Ollie demonstrated his trick
on my birthday party. Not everybody likes drool on their cans, but the idea of
having a dog butler was a major hit. One of my friends asked if I could teach
Ollie to pull a trolley on his wedding reception. We taught him some more
tricks, and before we knew it, our dog was performing every weekend."
Millie lovingly pets the blond Labrador that's sitting next to her. "He's
fully booked until August next year. A London-based company even tried to book
him for a fundraising dinner in 2014. But we've said no. We can't predict the
future. Right, Ollie?"<br />
<br />
When Millie goes to the kitchen to put the
kettle on, Ollie follows her immediately. I half expect the dog to come back
offering me a soggy biscuit. But he's a professional now, and he doesn't work
on weekdays. Millie has to carry the tea tray herself and sits down again on
the sofa. "As a builder, my husband knows what it's like to start your own
business, so he does all the paperwork. All I did was make sure we chose the
best <span style="text-decoration: none;">dog insurance</span> in
the UK. Of course we already had one to cover the vet's fee. But when your dog
is pulling trolleys full of wine glasses, you do want third party liability
coverage. Even though we've got a clause in the contract that says that all
accidents are the client's responsibility. Fortunately, we haven't had to use
our dog insurance yet." Ollie yawns and settles down for a little nap.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"> "When I hadn't seen a crack of light

world. You can't imagine what it does to you to be completely alone, stone
cold, hungry and not even able to see your own hands." Kate Farringdon has
been locked up in a cellar for six and a half days before a cleaner discovered
her and set her free. Three years ago, she sold her flat in Central London and
booked a single flight to The Gambia, where she now works for a chain of
internet cafes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"> "It was the most frightening thing that
has ever happened to me," says Kate. "I was working as an accountant
with one of the big firms in the City. It wasn't my dream job, but it paid
particularly well. I was planning to work for ten years or so, save a lot of
money and then follow my dreams." She shakes her head and smiles. "I
can't believe I would still be stuck in that same job today if I hadn't worked
late on the 24th of May 2004."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"> "There was this project, I don't even
remember what client I was working on, but at the time it seemed very important
to me and I had to get things done. So I stayed in the office till midnight. I
was the only one left in the office, and when I was finally ready to go home, I
found that I had been locked in. The front door of the office was closed. I
should have called security, but I thought it would be easier to take the back
door. Now, you have to understand that I hadn't had dinner yet and had been
staring at a computer screen nonstop for over 12 hours. I don't know what
happened, but as I walked down the staircase at the back, I somehow missed the
ground floor and walked into the basement. I knew something was wrong when I
reached the bottom of the stairs and had to go through an unfamiliar door. But
it's not like I was used to taking the back door – even if I would have taken
the right turning, it would probably have looked unfamiliar."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"> "I used my mobile phone as a flash
light because the corridor was pitch black. There were black bins, mops and
buckets, but no exit. I turned back to find that the door behind me was shut. I
pushed the bar, but it was locked. At first, I couldn't believe how stupid I had
been to allow it to close. Of course, my mobile phone had no reception down
here, and it was running out of battery too. I tried to open the door with
force, but to no avail. I was so angry with myself! But there was nothing I
could do but wait for security to discover me on CCTV."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> "The next morning, the alarm of my
mobile phone woke me up. I tried to door again, stamped on the floor, shouted and
peed in a bucket. When my phone switched itself off, hours later, I was so
thirsty that I started to contemplate drinking from that same bucket. I lost
all sense of time until my phone woke me up again the next morning. I couldn't
switch it on any more but the alarm still worked for three more days. After
that, I knew it was the weekend. There was no soft bedding, no light, no food,
no intellectual stimulus to distract me. And whilst I was locked up in that
cellar, I </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">realised</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> how empty my life had been. For the last five years, my life
had been nothing more than this imprisonment. In the same building even! The
only difference was that I'd never had to face my situation because there had
been food, soft beds and chairs and stress to distract me."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"> Farringdon spent two days in hospital to
recover after the cleaner had found her. "The worst thing was that nobody
came to visit me in the hospital. My colleagues were barely aware of the fact
that I had gone missing; they just assumed that I wasn't well. I hadn't talked
to my parents for weeks, so I can't blame them for not noticing my
disappearance. My life hadn't just seemed pointless from the damp darkness of a
city cellar – it looked exactly the same from the hygiene of the hospital. So I
kept my promise, quit my job, sold my house and put all my money in an online
savings account. They offer competitive interest rates," she says.
Apparently, the accountant in Kate hasn't completely vanished. But she quickly
adds: "The best thing is that you're much more flexible with an online
account than with a traditional savings account. I've got access to my money wherever
I am, as long as I can get on a computer with internet connection."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"> "It's hard to believe, but I'm glad I
got trapped in that cellar. I could have died down there if that cleaner
wouldn't have found me by accident. Especially since he had no reason for being
there in the first place! Just like me, he took one flight of stairs too many.
It makes me sad to think about it, but at least I can say I'm alive."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> Laszlo Zappador was born in a
car. Not in a car park, not at the roadside, but in the back seat of a rattling
Fiat 126 that was racing at 80 miles per hour from Gyor to Budapest. It was the
19st of May 1989 and Laszlo's mother, who was 17 at the time and single, was
hitchhiking to the capital of Hungary when her labour suddenly sped up. It was
a kick start that would determine the rest of his life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> "I think about my mother
a lot," says Laszlo, "especially on days like today. I'm turning 21
today and I hope she would have been proud of me. I've got my driving licence,
have owned 8 cars in total, have lived in four different countries and I'm
still a virgin. I really try to live my life in her honour and make her dreams
come true because she didn't have enough time to do so. Don't you think it's
sad she never went abroad, not even on a holiday? She hated Hungary, hated it
so much... yet she never got to see another country."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> When I ask Laszlo how she
died, he picks up a star spanner from the floor and starts polishing off the
grease with his t-shirt. For a whole minute, the workshop is quiet except for
the sounds of running engines in the back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> "Nobody knows what really
happened," he finally says. "I was six at the time, and all I
remember is that one afternoon, she didn't come to pick me up from school.
She'd run away from her family when she was expecting me, so at first, I was
afraid she was running away from me too. Because she didn't have very
honourable jobs in Budapest, she never introduced me to any of her friends
either. There was no one I could ring, no one I could go to, so my teacher took
me home with him. The next day he found out from the police that she had been
ran over by a car with no licence plates. That was the first time I decided to
go abroad. I didn't even have a passport; can you imagine what I was up
against?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> He puts the now shiny star
spanner in a toolbox and runs his fingers through his greasy hair. "The
struggle never ends. Even for an experienced driver like me, it's hard to
find</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> cheap car insurance </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">because I'm young and
a foreigner. But when I was 14 years old, I had won the national go-kart
championship twice and was noticed by a coach. He helped me move to Germany,
where I learned to drive on real racing tracks."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> "I was very good. Experts
started to compare me to Kimi Raikkonen. But in 2007, I fell ill. Depression,
emotional blockage, that sort of thing. I'd never dealt with my mother's
disappearance, hadn't even been to her funeral. And all of a sudden, I started
dreaming I was driving the car that hit her. I couldn't get in a car anymore
without breaking into a sweat. I thought I needed a change of scenery, so I
moved to Amsterdam. I joined a community of artists living in a large squat,
but soon started to miss cars. Especially the sound of the engine and the
wheels on the tarmac. I didn't have my licence yet, so I wasn't allowed to
drive outside official tracks but I bought my first car there, anyway. A red
Nissan Sunny from 1994."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> "Inspired by the people
that surrounded me, I started to see the car as a piece of art. Not a very nice
one – she was decrepit and rusty – but she had potential. The first thing I did
was replace her wheels with massive, round speakers. I put several microphones
in and around the engine, the exhaust, the emergency break and the gearstick. I
connected all of these to a switchboard with separate volume control switches
and voila: my first sound machine. I performed at several squat parties and
sold the Sunny Sound for € 6500, more than six times as much as I paid for
it."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Holland was too small for me, and I couldn't get the hang of that silly

with modern day theories about nuclear fusion. But I don't think they would
believe me if I told them. I was born in Iraq and made my first gold out of sand
when I was a toddler. My nannies were surprised I kept finding odd shaped
pieces of jewellery, but my mother knew from the start what was going on
because the talent runs in the family. She tried to raise me as normally as
possible and told me not to tell anyone about my magical abilities. Not even my
father. I fled Iraq in 2003, after both my parents suddenly disappeared. I was
only 12 years old at the time, but a teacher sorted me out with a forged
passport in exchange for my 'family treasures'. No, I'm not going to tell you
my false name because I'm still using it."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a proper education, so when I first got to Great Britain, my English was pretty
good already. I had been through so much – losing both my parents, rape,
hunger, you name it. Can you blame me I felt the need to tell somebody who I
really was? The lady who interviewed me was so kind and understanding that I
told her everything. But at the Home Office, they thought I'd lost my marbles
and sent me to a mental institution. That's where I learned the importance of
my mother's lessons: act normal and hide your true colours. Though I'm not a
Muslim, I often feel the need to wear a burqa, simply because it reflects how I
feel. I'm working at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100528121352/http:/jlpjobs.com/jobs/waitrose-jobs.htm" target="_blank" title="http://jlpjobs.com/jobs/waitrose-jobs.htm"><span style="color: #bf0000; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Waitrose</span></a> as

says. "To me, gold is like a smile: it's there when I feel good. I don't
mind parting from it when the feeling is gone.

has lost its value for me. I'm not a mathematical person, like Abu Musa. For
me, happiness is the key. That's why I couldn't prove that I wasn't
hallucinating in the mental institution. By the time I got out, they had almost
convinced me I was just an ordinary, traumatised girl. But on my first date with
my current boyfriend, I suddenly turned a wine glass into gold. Very
embarrassing. He noticed immediately and helped me try to hide it from the
restaurant staff by stealing the glass. He still keeps it on his mantle piece,
isn't that adorable? I normally find glass a very difficult material to work
with, though. Things like that can happen when I'm over the moon, but it's much
easier with sulphur."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the reason why I was having trouble getting beyond the first date. I knew
giving up smoking would be good for my complexion, but I was going through a
bit of a rough patch in my life, so I didn't manage to. Instead, I decided to
bleach my teeth. Unfortunately, whitening treatments at the dentist can cost up
to £750. I simply couldn't afford that and didn't have dental insurance. I
don't even know whether there are any </span><span style="text-decoration: none;">dental insurance</span><span style="color: #212121;"> plans
that cover such treatments. Either way, I opted for one of these teeth
whitening kits."</span><br /><span style="color: #212121;">
"It contained ten disposable, individually wrapped, single-dose
applications which you're meant to use on a daily basis. Because my teeth were
extraordinarily yellow, I decided to buy two kits and prolonged the treatment
with three days. The result wasn't so bad." She shows me her bright, white
smile. "Except that I've got two crowns on the left side of my mouth, and
the whitening didn't do anything for them. But hardly anybody notices, so I was
very impressed with my DIY dentistry. I was so confident about my dentistry
skills that when Priscilla, my little princess, was starting to lose her first
baby teeth, I decided to speed up the process and help her through this
difficult phase. As soon as a tooth started to wobble, I would tie a piece of
string around it and yank it out with the door. I told her I knew it hurt, but
that it would hurt a lot more if she left them in."</span><br /><span style="color: #212121;">
"I didn't know that my warnings frightened her so much that she was
actually forcing her teeth to wobble sooner in order to speed up the process of
getting rid of them. Until, after two months, she told me her upper canine on
the left was ready to go again. And so it seemed, except that her upper canine
on the left had been the first to go, and it was a permanent tooth that was
loose in its socket now."</span><br /><span style="color: #212121;">
"Of course I should have taken her to the dentist there and then, but I
was embarrassed because at that time, she was almost completely toothless – she
couldn't even eat a ham sandwich – and I knew it was my fault. So instead of
seeking professional help, I explained to her that from now on she should leave
her teeth alone to prevent more pain."</span><br /><span style="color: #212121;">
Brenda sniffs and wipes a single tear from the corner of her eye, leaving a
black streak of mascara on the side of her face. "How was I supposed to
know she'd stop brushing her teeth because she thought that was what I meant
and because brushing her toothless gums hurt?" </span><br /><span style="color: #212121;">
"When Priscilla turned eight, most of her permanent teeth had grown in
crowded and crooked, and they were all discoloured because of tooth decay. She
hated her own face so much she never smiled nor ate in public. This was bad,
and I decided to make an appointment with an NHS dentist, but we ended up on a
waiting list. And that's when she found my old teeth whitening kit. There were
seven single-dose applications left, and she used them all at once. The
whitening gel leaked onto her gums, tongue, the insides of her cheeks and she
even swallowed some, all of which lead to serious blistering. My poor little
princess."</span><br /><span style="color: #212121;">
Brenda blows her nose before she continues. "Of course I blame myself. For
leaving that bleaching gel out, for extracting her baby teeth too early, for
not taking her to a dentist when she obviously needed one, and especially for
not having proper dental insurance. If I'd have had dental insurance, none of
this would have happened."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This is a transcript of a lecture I gave at the Film For Thought
Festival 2017 at Radboud University in Nijmegen. This year, the theme of the
festival was Black & White.</span><o:p></o:p></span></u></i></b></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p>The perfect pick-up line</o:p></b></span></h2>
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">I know we’re all here for Disney, but I’d like to start with a little
story of my own, if that’s OK with you.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Last summer, my friend told me about this guy she’d met at Shoeless
festival in Amsterdam. He’d asked her about her favourite Disney film.
She’d said it was Jungle Book, and he’d been like “no way!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“That’s my favourite Disney film too!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“No way!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’ve got it on DVD!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“We should totally go watch it together!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So they cycled to his place together, singing “Ooh-bi-doo, I wanna be
like you / I want to walk like you, talk like you, too-oo-oo!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His place, the DVD, hot chocolate milk, candle light – I’m sure I don’t
need to tell you what happened next. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So my friend and I are on the bus together and she tells me about him. Two
weeks had gone by, and despite everything they had in common, he still hadn’t
returned any of her calls. It turns out he wasn’t quite Prince Charming
after all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When the bus pulls over, two other girls get on and sit right in front
of us. It’s pretty much impossible for us not to listen in on their
conversation. One of them has just met this guy, apparently. Not very
attractive, but quite cute. And guess what… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“His favourite Disney film was Jungle Book as well! And he even had the
DVD to prove it!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The moral of the story<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">:</b> it’s
a sure-fire way to chat up girls asking them about their favourite Disney Film
and then confessing that it’s your favourite film as well. Of course it’s
anecdotal proof, far from scientific, but it does make me wonder: why does this
work so well? I reckon it’s because pretty much every girl out there will
have fond memories of a Disney film. Perhaps I’m just reinforcing a harmful stereotype here, but I’d say it’s these happy memories that may evoke a sense of safety, thereby
rendering an already tipsy girl that little bit more prone to "love
at first sight". <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The fact of the matter is that Disney is one of the six largest media companies
in the world, and they have a 100 % penetration in our society. Their imperium
is no longer limited to Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. It’s also
much more than Pocahontas, Frozen and Moana. They also own Pixar (think The
Incredibles, Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Brave), Lucasfilm (Star Wars) and
Marvel Studios (Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men, Deadpool, Thor, etc). Apparently,
there are about 1,9 billion children under the age of 15 in this world, and
they’ve all been exposed to Disney. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What Disney does to little boys and girls</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now I’d like you to think back of your own favourite Disney film. Mine was
The Little Mermaid. But if yours was Aladdin, or the Lion King, or Mulan or
Pocahontas, that works fine too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are you
with me? Ok. Now, do you remember how many times you’ve seen that film? Chances
are you don’t. I don’t. But I do know that it was heaps of times. And even today, when the amount, variety and accessibility of media has exploded, kids willingly watch their favourite scenes in films like Frozen hundreds of times. And it doesn’t end there. There’s also a range of toys and
costumes that are so similar to the films, that they trigger kids to copy the
exact behaviour from the film in play. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You know what repetition is to the brain?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s the process of learning. Disney is
teaching us more than just catchy songs. They’re teaching us how to behave in
public, the difference between right and wrong, <a href="http://tussenwoord.nl/kwalijke-rolmodellen-disney/" target="_blank">how to be a man or woman</a>, how
to make friends, they even teach us the very language we use to think. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keeping it close to home, what sort of a role model has Ariel been for
me? She starts out as a bubbly, cheeky, curious and lively mermaid, but then
falls head over tail in love with, essentially, a hot guy on a boat. At first
she’s strong enough to rescue him, but ultimately, she becomes a weak, meek and
quiet woman who needs to be rescued by him. In order to be loved, she has to
change who she is – have her tail split into legs (what would Freud make of
that?) and get rid of her voice. Lesson learned: the key to a guy’s heart is to shut
up and spread your legs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“But Deborah,” you may point out, “The Little Mermaid was released in
1989. Surely, Disney has come a long way since then? What good does it do to
criticize the company for something made almost 30 years ago?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And you’re right, for modern day art critics, it’s not done to isolate a
work of art from its historic and cultural context and subject it to
anachronistic criticism. Of course a piece of art will absorb and reflect the culture
in which it came to be. What matters, is what sets it apart from that culture,
how it departs from its surrounding values, how it criticizes the time.</span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dumbo (1941)</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Take Dumbo and the band of crows, calling each other ‘brother”, jive-talking, dressed
in rags and smoking cigars. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MzhDbAiWRRs/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MzhDbAiWRRs?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In case you’re still in the dark as to what ethnicity the crows are
meant to depict, the leader is called Jim, which has to be a reference to the
Jim Crow laws (the laws that reinforced the racial segregation in the States). And
what’s the first thing Timothy says to them? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What are you boys doing down here
anyway? Fly up a tree where you belong.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We’d be outraged if it were released
today, but it was acceptable at the time. And what made Dumbo stand out is that
the crows fulfilled a positive, likeable role in the film, thereby helping
fight negative image of African-Americans. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If a piece of art fails to induce reflection on commonly held, oversimplified
images of a particular group of people, it’s not art, it’s peddling stereotypes.</span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Critical note on my method</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Modern art critics would not approve of what I’ve set out to do today: apply
a 21st-century morality to films made in different times. I will focus on the
Disney Renaissance of the nineties and highlight the stereotypes they
reinforce.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why? Because these films are still relevant today. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Films no longer bloom and die in one season. In the Digital Era, they play
again and again, year after year, decade after decade. And what’s more, Disney
is still merchandising the characters. If you walk into a Primark today, you’ll
find that <span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://www.primark.com/en/product/grey-disney-princess-squad-t-shirt,r35397112291101" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span lang="EN-US">these rolemodels</span></span></a></span> are still actively promoted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What's a stereotype? The word comes from the Greek </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“stereos”</i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> (solid, stiff, fixed) and "typos" (blow, impression, image, form etc.). What we mean by it today is an “image perpetuated without change”.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Stereotypical visuals and stories make people think less about ideas they are already familiar with; perpetuation and acceptance are very closely intertwined. </span></o:p><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Art, on the other hand, has the to power to provoke thought. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Media and arts may not define what we think, but they define the arena within
which we can think, they point us in the direction of what to think about and they define the black and the white for our imagination to
work with.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">So when a media company has the
reach and impact of Disney, we should really be asking ourselves:</span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> </b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">what kind of stories are they telling
us, what are the contrasts they’re teaching us, and why?</span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Disney's black-and-white history</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vKfAF4jVqnA/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vKfAF4jVqnA?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The little African centaur you’re looking at is called Sunflower. After
making an appearance in the 1940’s edition of Fantasia as a… well.. a hoof-polishing servant, she wasn’t invited back to the set for the remake of 1969,
nor Fantasia 2000. What started out as a racist stereotype,
has met a fascist solution of eradication. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another example: King Louie, in the Jungle Book, who sang that lovely
song “I wanna be like you” for man-cub Mowgli. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9JDzlhW3XTM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9JDzlhW3XTM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mind the accents though, and note that King Louie and his apes are the
only creatures with an African-American accent. Not Baloo, Bagheera, Kaa, the
vultures – only the apes. And to add insult to injury, this king of the apes
sings about his inferiority to even a ‘man cub’. That’s white supremacy, and I grew up lapping it up. I still can't help but love that song.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">But let’s skip the golden oldies and fast-forward to the Disney
Renaissance of the nineties.</span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The little mermaid (1989)</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As well as the blatant misogyny going on in this film, there’s also some
not-so-subtle racism at play. Let’s have a closer look at Sebastian the crab.
He’s one of the characters with full ‘negro’ lips and a Jamaican accent. I’m
sure you’ll remember his “under the sea”. But did you notice the explicit
reference to slavery, and that he advocates staying under the sea because you
don’t have work there? “<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">Up on the shore they work all day</span><span style="color: #222222;"> / <span style="background: white;">Out in
the sun they slave away</span> / <span style="background: white;">While we
devotin'</span> / <span style="background: white;">Full time to floatin'</span> /
<span style="background: white;">Under the sea.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jgA2xo0HYrE/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jgA2xo0HYrE?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Portraying coloured people as lazy is a nasty stereotype pointing
directly and explicitly back to slavery. It grinds on me having to pointing out these faults
with the character, as Sebastian was one of my favourite elements in the film.
I liked him better than Ariel. Why couldn’t they make a film about him? Why
does the black character always have to be the comical side-kick? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Aladdin (1992)</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There’s many issues with this film. I’ll stick with one example. In
1993, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee took Disney to court over
the <a href="https://youtu.be/pkV-YFTEy9o?t=11s" target="_blank">racist lyrics of the opening song</a>. (“Where they cut off your ear/If they
don’t like your face/It’s barbaric, but, hey, it’s home”). Disney cut out the ear-cutting thing,
but stuck with “it’s barbaric”.</span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pocahontas (1995)</span></h2>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started out with
great expectations for this one. At least the lead character isn’t white! The
film is inspired by the known history and folklore surrounding the Native
American woman Pocahontas. And at first sight, it seems to give a more accurate
portrayal of native American culture than the rather <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McksfOIIPDk" target="_blank">racist stereotypes in Peter Pan</a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">True, Pocahontas’
historical encounter with Englishman John Smith had nothing to do with romance,
but hey, for the sake of storytelling I can live with that. Right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I changed my mind
when I read <a href="http://www.powhatan.org/pocc.html">the
true story about what happened to Pocahontas.</a> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What’s worse than the
misportrayal of a personal history, is how the film edits away the oppression
and genocide. Some would even say it’s a good effort to erase it from
collective memory. There’s a word for that – propaganda. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And then there’s the
frequent use of terms such as 'savages', 'pagans', 'devils' and the divide between 'primitive' and 'civilized'. Implying white superiority. Take the song 'savages'. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">True, in the film both
sides call each other savages, but the fact is that, following the release of
the film, Native American children <a href="https://books.google.nl/books?id=BkumH2eEaSsC&pg=PA173&lpg=PA173&dq#v=onepage&q&f=false" target="_blank">came home in tears</a> when school children or
playmates sang "Savages, Savages" to them, not the other way around.
You cannot step over the past so easily. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Interestingly, according to Chief Roy Crazy Horse of the Powhatan Nation,
Disney refused the tribe's offers to help create a more culturally and historically
accurate film. If not intended as nationalist propaganda, what it comes down
to, is white people mining Native American culture for profit. Modern day
colonialism.</span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Mulan (1998)</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">My favourite
character in Mulan was Mushu, the little dragon, voiced by Eddie Murphy. But
wait, what’s an African-American voice doing in ancient China? Of course, he’s
a side-kick, just like Sebastian the Crab. That explains.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also liked Mulan, she was a strong woman. But wait, in order to make
her look good, they have to make the whole of ancient Chinese culture look
terrible. The film is based on the ancient Chinese Ballad of Mulan, a legend
about a female warrior taking her father’s place to fight in the army. Funny
thing is, in the original ballad, her parents support her decision, she fights
for twelve years and is rewarded and offered an official post, but she turns it
down and asks only for a swift horse to carry her home, where she is welcomed
with joy by her family. When she dons her old clothes and meets her comrades,
they are shocked that in their years traveling together, they did not realize
that she was a woman. However, this does not change their good friendship.
Disney chose to portray Mulan’s parents, the spirits of her ancestors and the
rest of the army as sexists opposed against the idea of a strong woman. Not to
mention the added “romantic” ending. Or, as Mulan’s grandma says: “Great, she
brings home a sword. If you ask me, she should’ve brought home a man!” </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tarzan (1999)</span></h2>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Based on a very colonial
story by Edgar Rice Burroughs, essentially, Tarzan is a tale about white man
bringing order to ‘the dark continent’. Even without the support structure of
other colonials (he is raised by the Gorillas), this white man is supposed to
be stronger and smarter than the locals. One could wonder <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">why</i> Disney wanted to revisit this story in the first place. They’ve
made it very hard for themselves not to be racist. And what was their solution
to avoid stereotypes and white supremacy? Not to depict any African people in
the film at all. It’s Africa, but all we see is monkeys and white people. That
kind of reminds me of the way Disney dealt with Sunflower, the little black
centaur from Fantasia. Not OK.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tarzan was officially
the last film of the Disney Renaissance. I promised I wouldn’t go into great
historic context, but at this point, it seems hard to avoid. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Disney Renaissance</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, a bit of historic context. In 1966 and 1971 respectively, Walt and
his brother Roy died. The films released over an eighteen-year period following
this change of management did not perform as well commercially as previous
films. Animation seemed like a vanishing industry. Then, in 1984, a new CEO was
appointed, Michael Eisner. A man with a vision and a mission for the company.
As he put it in his Film Manifesto:<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“We have no

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To make money is our
only objective.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the corporate background that gave rise to the likes of Mulan,
Pocahontas and Tarzan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Disney is as much a reflection of modern culture, as it is an influence
on it. And under Eisner, it rejected the responsibilities that come with the
latter. Which was a successful strategy. Over the time that Eisner was at the
head of the company (1984 to 2004), the operating income of Disney rose
from 100 million dollar to 4.5 billion. Yes, the company grew 45 times bigger. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The reason why this was such a good move – at least financially speaking
– is that it’s much easier to be popular when you confirm stereotypes, than
when you try and change the way people think.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It does seem like Disney has made attempts to atonement after Eisner’s
departure (2004). For example with Lilo&Stitch, or more recently Zootopia
and Moana. There’s one film in particular that I’d like to draw your attention
to:</span></div>
<h2 style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Princess and the Frog (2009)</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This film is set in early twentieth-century New Orleans and features the
first African-American Disney Princess, Tiana. She’s ambitious, hard-working
and amiable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s by the same directors as The Little Mermaid, Clements and Musker.
At least this time (contrary to Pocahontas), Disney got the Afro-American community
involved (including Oprah Winfrey, which kind of makes you wonder if it’s just
a media stunt. But let’s give them the benefit of the doubt). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Princess and the Frog has met with criticism. As the previous speaker, dr.
Domitilla Olivieri, pointed out: “We finally get an Afro-American princess, and
she spends the majority of her time on screen as a frog?” Fair point. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many bloggers think it’s not right that Tiana's prince isn’t black (he’s some
indistinct mixed race). Personally, I think that’s racist criticism. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Other critics
have pointed out that its portrayal of the cultural background is accurate, but
what good does it do to reconfirm the inequality of the past? Personally, I’m
not convinced that’s fair.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I could go on, but I’m not here to look at Princess and the Frog and
simply add up the racist vs. not-racist points to see which label holds up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My point today is that the film provides a helpful example of the
complicated cultural space a film can occupy. Rather than categorically denying
the difficulty of ethnic stereotypes in modern day culture (see Sunflower the centaur
and Tarzan), films can help draw attention to complicated cultural space, which
is exactly what art is supposed to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">As the days were getting shorter, little
Tommy noticed that it was starting to get dark outside before his daddy came
home from work. He sat at the kitchen window of their flat, looking down at the
streets, waiting for his daddy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was a particularly rainy day, and his
mummy was stirring the sauce for the chili sin carne. As their little kitchen
didn’t feature an extraction fan, the windows were steamed up and the whole
flat smelled of feel-good food. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Little Tommy had used his sleeve to wipe a
part of the window and had his nose pressed against the surface. His mummy was
humming a pop song, when Tommy suddenly turned round to her, his eyes wide with
shock. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“What is it?” Tommy’s mummy asked. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“ I saw a ghost,” little Tommy whispered.
“A Red Ghost.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">His mummy put her spoon down and walked
over to the window. “Where is it?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“He’s gone,” little Tommy said, “he was on
a bicycle.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Well, if he’s gone, we don’t need to worry
about him, do we?” his mummy said. She picked some rosemary, which was growing
in a terracotta pot in the windowsill, and returned to the cooker.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As Tommy’s father was waiting for the lift
to get up to the third floor, he took off his red poncho. In the lift, he
rolled up the poncho and put it in a bag. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Daddy, daddy,” little Tommy ran up to his
daddy and hugged his legs. “Did you see the ghost too?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“A ghost?” his daddy lifted an eyebrow and
kissed his wife <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Tommy saw a red ghost on a bicycle, just
before you arrived.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Why are you home so late, daddy? Was the
ghost chasing you? Are you okay?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The daddy smiled, lifted Tommy on his lap
and confessed that yes, he had seen the red ghost. And yes, the ghost had been
chasing him, but little Tommy needn’t worry, as daddy was so much faster the
ghost would never be able to catch him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As it was autumn, the next day was equally
rainy. Tommy had opened the window and was leaning out so that he would be able
to spot his daddy sooner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Mummy, mummy, come quickly,” he begged. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">His mummy rushed over. “What is it,
darling?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“It’s the red ghost again,” Tommy said,
pointing at his daddy’s poncho. “And I don’t see daddy anywhere!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Relieved, his mummy started laughing.
“Don’t worry, silly,” she said, “you know your daddy is quicker than the ghost!
He’ll be here any minute, I promise.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Tommy couldn’t understand why his parents
weren’t worried about the imminent threat of the red ghost. When it rained yet
again a third day, Tommy positioned himself at the window even before his mummy
started cooking. Tommy was waiting and waiting, and feared that the ghost had
caught up with his daddy. When he spotted the red ghost, he leaned out of the
window even further, and recognized his daddy’s bicycle – but there was no sign
of daddy. Little Tommy decided there was no time to call for his mummy. He
reached for the terracotta pot with the rosemary plant and dashed it, with all
his might, at the red ghost down below. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The rosemary hit the ghost right on the
head. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">But Tommy’s daddy never came home again.</span></div>

"She's so young!"<br />
I lean back in my chair and think of when I was that age. "Incredible, isn't it, that we used to feel stressed already back then."<br />
That didn't sound quite right. My colleague doesn't respond. Savouring a sip of earl grey, I have another go at forming an appropriate response. <br />
"Back when I was 21, I still believed I would start my own business as a philosopher."<br />
"And look at you know!" <br />
"I would've been so sad to see I had turned out as a marketeer, all corporate and what not! I would've wondered where it had all gone wrong."<br />
We laugh a little as we turn to our screens. But why is that funny? Shouldn't it sadden me? With a big gulp, I finish my tea. No, I don't have to be embarrassed about the choices I made. I would love to have a full-blown argument with my former self. And knowing her, she probably would too. <br />
But I can't quite shake the sneaking suspicion that, if I let her, she would change my mind. Because really, what insights and learnings have I reached in nine years, that could possibly change her mind?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05935543648023029783noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836797656035969.post-28943645227162561762014-10-21T08:44:00.001+01:002014-10-21T08:47:42.309+01:00Amsterdam Downpour<br />

Resting your brain is the key to regaining your mental
power. If you want to optimise the effect of your sun holidays and return to school,
university or work even more intelligent, you can combine relaxing on the beach
with some of these simple and fun exercises.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]--><b>Listen to
the locals.</b> Learning a new language is the most well-known method of
increasing one’s brain power. Of course you don’t have to be able to speak Spanish
or Turkish after a week on the beach. Even trying to pick up a few words by
reading all the foreign signs, eavesdropping on the locals and imitating radio
announcements will do your brain a world of good. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]--><b>Use a map
instead of your satnav.</b> Though a GPS can be very handy when you’re utterly lost,
reading a map and finding your own way in an unfamiliar area is a valuable
mental exercise. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]--><b>Play
table tennis.</b> Table tennis improves your eye-hand coordination and your
attention span while you are focusing on the ball. So if you come across a
table tennis table during your holidays, challenge your loved ones to a game!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]--><b>Don’t
avoid the maths</b>. Every time you buy something in a shop or a restaurant,
try to calculate or estimate how much you are going to have to pay. You can
turn this into a game by encouraging the other members of your family to do the
same and trying to be quicker and more accurate than them. If you are in a
country with a foreign currency, you can introduce another element to it: converting
the price to pounds!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]--><b>Break
your routines.</b> Your holidays will be much more exciting and memorable if
you don’t run on auto-pilot. Tickle your brain by finding new ways to do
things. Even using your other hand to comb your hair or brush your teeth will
increase your general level of alertness. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This
morning, I didn’t just cycle through the Rijksmuseum; I cycled through a cloud
of bubbles. There was a street musician, a girl with a camera and a small cue.
But no child, parent, bathtub or other Obvious source for the bubbles.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Which set
me thinking. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could blow bubbles with your mouth,
and nothing but your mouth? If bubbles would come straight from your lips?</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here’s an
idea for a cool gadget: a tiny pouch of </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">BubbLips<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">™</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">, </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">which fits in your cheek without being noticed from the outside. At one end, there's a valve that can release just one drop at a time. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">You run your tongue over the pouch to release a drop of the glycerin, which mixes with your saliva as you distribute it over the inside of your lips. Part your lips a little, blow gently and off they go, shiny bubbles of delight!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I can see baby sitters enchanting kids with this trick, clubs where strapping lads are snogging wallflowers just to get at their bubbles, CEO's in boardrooms yawning bubbles when their advisors are chatting breeze again...</span></span></div>

Other reasons included love, work and the availability of the place (I used to be a household guardian). But mostly the people next door. <br /><br />At first, it just adds to the immersion in British culture. Having someone retrieve rubbish from the communal bin to put it in front of your door makes you feel like you're in a Small Faces song. You know you should shrug it off when you've got your downstairs neighbour threatening to report you as an illegal immigrant unless you sign a petition against the Portobello Market. But after five years of harrassment, it doesn't really feel like a holiday anymore. That’s when you know it’s either time to move on, or go home. So when I was offered an exciting position at a <a href="http://www.topofminds.com/" target="_blank">recruitment agency in Amsterdam</a>, I jumped at the opportunity.</span><br />
<br />
This was almost a year ago, and I can confidently say it was the right decision. My only regret is not having had a chance to blog about the city and it's (hidden) treasures more. Not making any promises though!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05935543648023029783noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836797656035969.post-55445400240575559932014-06-26T23:17:00.002+01:002014-07-09T10:58:46.726+01:00Cycling frog<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
Freddie and I have just returned to London from a last-minute end-of-season trip to the largest of the Balearic Islands. If I had to limit myself to just one word, 'lush' would be it. Fortunately, Blogspot isn't Twitter!<br />
<br />
<b>Smells</b><br />
Time for a confession: even after five years, I can't get used to the odours of rotting, sweating, smoking London. Much as I love the city, its smell of blocked drains and wet dogs drives me insane. No wonder then, that Mallorca's fragrance is my favourite feature of the island. You'll be able to appreciate the sweet, rich and at times even musky smells of pines and ericaceous plants the moment you leave Palma.<br />
<br />
<b>Sounds</b><br />
We left Palma on a rented scooter, so for me, Mallorca sounds like the wind ripping at my helmet at 90km/hour. Either that, or a locust silence while gazing at the stars at night.<br />
<br />
<b>Roads</b><br />
The great advantage of having your own transport (whether it's a car, moped or bicycle) is that you're not limited to staying near your hotel. That's probably the only way to keep your trip interesting if you tend to get bored with beaches and clubs after a while. I just hope you like squiggly mountain roads and narrow hairpin turns.<br />
<br />
Make sure you grab a free map of the island from one of the car rentals. It's also useful to install an app on your phone with offline maps of the island before you leave off. I had the free <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mallorca-travel-guide-tourias/id359951008?mt=8" target="_blank">TOURIAS Majorca</a> app on my iPhone, which helped us find a way out of Palma (mission impossible) and pointed us in the direction of a couple of great sights that we probably would have missed otherwise. I was v. impressed that the GPS worked while I was offline.<br />

When you book your rental online in advance, it will only cost about €100 for a week and you can arrange for pick-up and drop-off at the airport. I wish I'd been that well-prepared!<br />
Also, the insurance package of €25 is well worth it. When our front brake broke, they came and picked us up from Arta (which is pretty much as far as you can get from Palma) and drove us back to the scooter rental where we got a replacement bike. No hassle.<br />

It took me a while to find an accurate description of the heat and humidity, but I think I've found one: Mallorca feels like the inside of a greenhouse (or perhaps it should be the other way around). Either way, my eczema cleared in less than a day. Sadly, it's starting to come back after just two days in London already.<br />
Most of the island's surface is as coarse and prickly as the cacti, palm trees and aloe vera plants that grow there. The way a day's worth of stubble can be wildly attractive on a handsome man, the cracked land and rugged rocks somehow made me feel <i>alive</i>.<br />

But when you do, here's a couple of hidden gems you don't want to miss.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://www.cuevasdeldrach.com/" target="_blank">Cuevas del Drach</a> - just south of Porto Christo, these impressive stalagmite and stalactite formations are a playground for your imagination. They inspired us to think of all sorts of films, stories and architectural wonders that we would like to create one day.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The Salines of Es Trenc - apparently these saltworks attract flamingos during evaporation season (we didn't see any though).</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The lighthouse at the top of Cap de Formentor - although most tourists seem to find the goats and cats that live up there more interesting.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Sa Calobra - this beach can only be reached by the most impressive road on the island. We're intending to come back to Mallorca just to do this road on a bicycle. Also, the dry bay at the end of the road, 'Cala de sa Calobra', is rather magical. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">X Bar - if you happen to make it to Cala Rajada one night, find X Bar near Cala Agulla and ask for one of Nellie's special cocktails. You won't regret it, she's an artist with liquor!</span></li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once upon a time in a country far, far away, there was a
magic wishing well on a green hill. Every time the princess passed the well,
she took a gold coin from her purse and dropped it into the well. While the
money travelled to the mystical depths, the princess whispered a wish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From the dark shrubbery, two gleaming eyes watched the
princess lean over the edge of the well. It was a greedy goblin who wanted to
marry the princess so that he could rule over her father’s kingdom. Two times
now, the goblin had proposed to the princess. The first time, he had offered
her a set of silver handcuffs on a velvet cushion. The second time, he had
appeared at her palace with golden handcuffs on a cushion of silk and down.
Both times, the princess had turned him down gently. “Sorry,” she had said, “but
I am not in love with you.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The angry goblin had wagged his bony finger at her. “The
third time,” he’d said, “I will make you an offer you cannot decline.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From that moment onwards, the goblin started following the
princess wherever she went. He followed her to charity dinners, to car shows
and, eventually, to the wishing well. He hid in the thicket and watched her
take a coin from her clutch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I wish that all stray dogs in the country will find a loving
home,” the princess said. “I hope that their families will feed them and
children will cuddle them, and all they have to do in return is protect their
home.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The following days, the goblin noticed less and less stray
dogs in the streets and, soon, he read in the national newspaper that the
number of burglaries had gone down drastically now that all homes were
protected by dogs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second time the princess and the goblin passed the well,
it hadn’t rained for weeks. The drought was threatening the livelihood of
thousands of farmers. As the princess flipped a coin into the well, she asked
for rain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before the princess reached her castle, rain started coming
down in thick sheets. She saw all the farmers dance on the land, letting the
rain soak their clothes and thanking the clouds for saving the crops. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So the well really works,” the goblin said to himself. He
spurred his horse to return to the wishing well, emptied his wallet into the
well and wished for the princess to fall in love with him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When he appeared at the court for a third time, the goblin offered
the princess a set of rusty hand cuffs. “Majesty,” he said, “now that you have
lost your heart to me, will you marry me?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why, no,” she responded. “What makes you think my feelings
have changed?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I paid the well to make you fall in love with me!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You silly thing,” the princess said. “Isn’t it obvious when
you compare your wish to mine? The wishing well doesn’t understand selfish
requests. It can only make good wishes come true.”<o:p></o:p></div>

With these basic tips, your snapshots are guaranteed to make the right impression.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Less is more</b><br />
This one's especially important for those who share their holiday pics via social media while they're still abroad. Just because you're taking thousands of photos during your beach holidays, doesn’t mean your friends and family want to see them all! Make sure every photo you share is interesting and unique. If you took fifty very similar pictures of the swimming pool at the hotel, choose the best one and archive the others. Don’t waste the valuable time and attention span of your audience!<br />
<br />
<b>2. Choose the right platform to showcase your photos</b><br />
If don't want to your holiday pictures to look like snapshots from someone else's life, avoid Instagram. But if it's not on Instagram, how will you share your pics with your followers?!Most people don’t appreciate it when you clog up their email box with big attachments. It’s better to share your photos through a website such as <a href="http://www.adoberevel.com/" target="_blank">Adobe Revel</a>, <a href="http://picasa.google.com/" target="_blank">Picasa</a>, <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank">Photobucket</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> or Facebook and send your friends the url of the album. The advantage of using Adobe Revel is that you can use some of the famous Photoshop software to edit your photos online for free. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Shoot interesting subjects (yourself)</b><br />
By all means, aim your camera at things that capture your attention - especially if other tourists don't seem to notice them. If you're not a professional photographer, chances are your pictures of the Dubai Skyline or the Eiffel Tower won't be the most fascinating photographs your friends have ever seen. These landmarks will only become interesting for your friends and family if you combine them with something they care about: you. Going on a city trip means you've got a licence to take lots of selfies!<br />
<br />
<b>4. Always work on a copy</b>
The most important thing when it comes to editing is that you should always keep an unedited version of your original photo. You can use a web-based editing service or offline software to edit a copy of your photo.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Improve the compositions</b>
Most holiday snapshots can be improved by cropping them according to the rule of thirds. Imagine a noughts and crosses grid within your new frame and position the subject of the photo along one of the lines or on one the four intersection points. Your photos will become much more interesting this way.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Enhance dull colours</b><br />
Experimenting with the brightness, contrast, colour intensity, levels, sharpness and focus of your photo can improve your snapshots immensely, even when the original looked fine to you. If only some areas of your photos are a bit too dark or too bright, look for the Dodge and Burn brushes to adjust those specific areas.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Have a crack at Vine</b><br />
Just because you can't stick 6-second looping videos in an album doesn't mean they're not interesting to watch. In fact, my favourite snapshot of my trip to Barcelona earlier this year is a vine:<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Unless you've planned a trip to a sunny resort somewhere far, far away from London, you probably won't get much of a chance to show off the sarong skills I'm about to teach you. But if you do happen to be in the middle of packing your suitcase for a beach holiday, the single </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">most important </span>accessory<span style="font-family: inherit;"> is a sarong. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Depending on your style, you can get a traditional batik
sarong from Indonesia, a Tahitian pareo with bright flower patterns, an
eye-catching kanga from Africa or an extra large scarf with a tie-dye or animal
print. Here’s how to fold, wrap and tie this versatile garment so that you’ll
look stylish during your beach holidays!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9inYXvmm6CQ3EixgkS5VPNUC-CCqqySoxQayFYhPfVCgP0R4hJdclbCgmro5BofvmXJfnYdBiJ4X_S-9cZP1sXS8cERXNaZJUeZQgvepMaCgJQIfwq6wUTggax07uXm8nUUFRQ51s0Q/s1600/sarongs.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9inYXvmm6CQ3EixgkS5VPNUC-CCqqySoxQayFYhPfVCgP0R4hJdclbCgmro5BofvmXJfnYdBiJ4X_S-9cZP1sXS8cERXNaZJUeZQgvepMaCgJQIfwq6wUTggax07uXm8nUUFRQ51s0Q/s640/sarongs.JPG" width="640" /></a><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Beach skirt</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The nonchalant beach wrap is probably the most famous way
to wear a pareo. An elegant way to achieve this look is to fold the fabric into
a triangle, place it around your waist and tie the long ends together above one
hip. If you prefer an ankle length straight skirt, don’t fold the pareo before
you wrap it around your body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Maxi dress</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can easily turn your sarong into a sexy maxi dress.
Tie two adjacent corners of the sarong behind your neck so that it drapes in
front of you like a cowl neck. Grasp the edges of the sarong at hip height
behind your back, forming two small bunches of fabric. Pull them to one side
and double-knot the bunches so that the sarong is wrapped tightly around your
hips. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Wrap Dress</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This flattering knee-length dress looks good on every
woman. To create a wrap dress, hold the sarong behind your back horizontally like
a towel. Bring the left top corner in front of your body and hang it over your
right shoulder. Wrap the right side of the sarong underneath your bust, around
your back and to the right shoulder, where you tie it to the other end. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Bandeau or bandeau dress</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you fold the sarong into a wide strip, you can wrap it
around your chest and tie it behind your back. If you prefer a bandeau dress,
extend your pareo behind your back and tie the edges together against the bust
so that the extra fabric cascades down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Halter dress</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This sophisticated cocktail dress is surprisingly simple
to create. Start with extending the pareo behind your back just below you
shoulder blades. Bring the top corners forward below your arms, cross the ends
over your chest and tie them behind your neck. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The options are endless. Just keep playing around until you've found a method that hides your weaknesses while emphasizing your best bits.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Looking splendid in the </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">sweltering</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> heat – and
in all your summer snapshots! – is easy this year. You don’t have to spend
valuable beach time in front of the mirror and it doesn’t have to cost a
fortune either. Just follow these simple make-up, hair and fashion tips and let the sun be your limelight!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>1. Make-up:
less is more</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The best way to avoid a make-up meltdown is to let
your skin breathe. Steer clear of heavy foundation, concealer and powder. All
you need is a lightweight moisturizer that will block UV rays and absorb oil.
If you’re feeling a bit pale without make-up, you can use tinted sunscreen (the only one that doesn't give me spots is Vichy 50+ Capital Soleil Face Cream) or self-tanning
moisturizer to give your skin a sun-kissed glow. Keep your lips natural or use
a shiny gloss or balm with UV-filter.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><b>2. Sunglasses: the wow-factor</b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72D6IbiXdzs9RV4XXmN567zHLOD6M6RRLafmKF2tLKJSc1NnOxPyBI4vmw7voZouxJUqYb-l6spbgl5lBvw8i5RLAsYuENiZv54EhGJNWjHRDTuo6zOya0YSoyaWyt5cp71wOXuXLaQ/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-07-13+at+23.07.20.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72D6IbiXdzs9RV4XXmN567zHLOD6M6RRLafmKF2tLKJSc1NnOxPyBI4vmw7voZouxJUqYb-l6spbgl5lBvw8i5RLAsYuENiZv54EhGJNWjHRDTuo6zOya0YSoyaWyt5cp71wOXuXLaQ/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-07-13+at+23.07.20.png" height="239" width="320" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Buy yourself a glamorous pair of
sunglasses that really suit your face. This accessory should both make you look
fabulous and protect your eyes by absorbing all UV rays and most HEV rays. If
you have a heart-shaped or an oval face (like me), all frames will look good on you
except for oversized ones such as aviator shades. Sunglasses with sculpted
angles look best on people with round faces. Make sure the frame is at least
the same width as your face. Oval and cat-eye frames tend to work best for
people with an angular jaw (not me!) because the rounded edges soften the angular planes
of your face. Personally, I swear by my Adidas Evil Eye glasses - great for skiing as well. </span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="line-height: 18px;">3. </span><span style="line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]--></b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>Eyes: go waterproof</b><br /><o:p></o:p></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Keep your eyes simple – after all, you will be
wearing sunglasses most of the time! If you really want to use eye shadow, go
for a neutral, soft shimmery product. Dark, smoky eyes can look extremely harsh
in the summer and are more likely to smudge. To enhance your natural glow, you
only need to emphasize your lashes. Waterproof mascara is a must at the beach,
but it can dry out your lashes. Look for a moisturizing, stay-put mascara to
prevent brittle lashes.</span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">4. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Skin:
wear self-tanning lotion and</span></b></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><b> sunscreen</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The most important summer skincare
product is sunscreen. The higher the SPF, the better. Honestly, you don’t want
your skin to age prematurely as the result of too much exposure to the sun. It’s
much safer to get a tan from a bottle! Choose a quick-drying, streak-free
tanning-lotion. Exfoliate your body and us a sheer moisturizer on dry areas
such as your ankles, wrists, knees and elbows before you apply the tanning
lotion.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5. </b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>Let
your hair down, literally</b><o:p></o:p></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcz5yA2GnVrtbzQcrv1Ln3f5G2OrdrUiJhhqkZKSaReDfQhNhyphenhyphen1u_mBIykTF0LzefB9DqMpQwqKFuf36NcRrCUagdmclbeYse_EgEG0zzKw5fiPUeUapc4khtLFT3tstda8Zp3j8pBtw/s1600/vintage_swim.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcz5yA2GnVrtbzQcrv1Ln3f5G2OrdrUiJhhqkZKSaReDfQhNhyphenhyphen1u_mBIykTF0LzefB9DqMpQwqKFuf36NcRrCUagdmclbeYse_EgEG0zzKw5fiPUeUapc4khtLFT3tstda8Zp3j8pBtw/s1600/vintage_swim.png" height="228" width="320" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The key to good summer hair is: don't
try too hard. Wet it every morning, apply some leave-in conditioner and let it
air-dry. Blow-driers, curling irons, straighteners and other styling products
will only damage your sun-stressed hair. You’re ready to leave the house in a
lot less time than usual and you’ll look amazing. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">If your hair is </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">dyed blonde or has artificial highlights, you should </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">protect it against
and chlorine in swimming pools with a swimming cap (you don't have to go down the rubbery, sporty route, there are plenty of cute vintage</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> options as well!) and against sunlight with a
pretty hat.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><b>6. Clothes: trust your instinct</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Find a flattering bikini or swimming
costume. If you are a bit self-conscious about your stomach, go for a one-piece
swimsuit with tummy-control. Those who think they have short legs should avoid
hipster bottoms and skirted bikinis. Instead, go for high-cut thighs. This cut
will make your legs look longer. Don’t worry if this look draws attention to

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ever since the early crowds have
welcomed the Internet into their lives (or the other way around –
I'm not sure which is host and which is guest), people have been
saying that intellectual ownership needs to change.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Recently, I've noticed ownership is already changing. The driving force is not legal redefinition, but economical gain.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Physical vs. Intellectual Ownership</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Personally, I've always found the
concept of intellectual ownership rather puzzling. The 'intellectual'
units that we're talking about aren't singular objects that can be
owned the way I own my bicycle. Intellectual property can take many
shapes – from tunes and catch-phrases to clothes fashions and
production methods. What they have in common is that they exist
through replication. Think about it: it's meaningless to establish
who the intellectual owner is of something that's not worth
repeating.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Cultural Evolution</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Parallel to genes, Richard Dawkins
calls these non-genetic cultural units of replication “memes”,
and of course they're subject to variation and selection as well as
replication.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
As possible roots for the word 'meme',
Dawkins refers to
</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
the Ancient Greek 'Mimeme' (from
μιμέομαι, “to imitate”, “to mimic” or “to follow
another's example”)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
the English 'memory' and
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
the French word même (“same”
or “alike”).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
But how do we identify that two
utterances are the same meme – or, in other words, the same
intellectual property?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It's not just the variation bit that
I'm talking about, although apparently a misquote such as “Do you
feel lucky, punk?” still counts as Dirty Harry. Dawkins emphasizes
that when a meme is transmitted from one brain to another, that
doesn't mean that both brains show the exact same neural
configuration. Two nightingales 'have' the same meme when they sing
the same melody, even if the neural configurations that make them
sing that melody are vastly different.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What is “the same” or “alike”
in two copies of one meme? How can they be identified? What is the
magical connection between a printed sentence and the spoken version
of it? A phrase and its translation?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Legal Context</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The legal experts don't worry about
this though. How they do it, I don't know, but they've managed to
identify plenty of intellectual thieves.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The different way of existence (replication rather than durability) makes
ownership of memes quite difficult. When I buy a computer game, it's not the
same as when I buy a can of tomato soup. Yes, I own the disc, but
somehow, I don't own the game. Actually, perhaps it is the same as
when I buy a can of tomato soup. I can buy the soup, but that doesn't
mean the recipe becomes mine.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Digital Hoarding</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Despite the fact
that most of us aren't the legal owners of songs, movies, books and
games, we act and speak as though we are. “I <i>have</i> the latest
album of Radiohead on my laptop,” and “I'll <i>give</i>
you Call of Duty tomorrow.”
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In
the golden days of illegal torrents, a lot of people around me became
<i>digital hoarders</i> –
they collected more music on their computers than they could listen
to if they would do nothing else for the rest of their lives; more
terabytes worth of films than their entire music collection and more
games and software than they'll ever use. Why would they, if the
files weren't even theirs? It's hard to explain, but in a way, there
is a stronger sense of possession when we <i>steal </i>files
than when we pay for them.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Pack-rat Traps</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Software
corporations know this, and they're changing the way we interact with
them because of it.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In
an attempt to make Photoshop and Illustrator theft-proof, Adobe's new
range is Creative Cloud (CC) rather than Creative Suite (CS). You
don't pay a fortune in order to <i>own</i>
your own copy of the software. Instead, you pay a monthly
subscription fee of fifty dollars to be allowed to use the software.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We
don't <i>buy</i> games for
the new XBox, we pay for the right to play them once.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A lot of people are upset about these changes. But just like the crowds
have learned to pay for songs in the iTunes store or on Spotify rather than
download them with torrents, the crowds will get used to it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>The End of Self-Storage</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Whether
we're the legal owners or not, we tend to store writings, songs,
films and images at home or at work. When I was eighteen, I still
went as far as printing my favourite email conversations so that I
could keep them in a folder under my bed. I was afraid that Hotmail
might go bust or lose my letters.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Like
most other people, I no longer feel the need to download emails etc.
onto my own hard drive. I trust that Gmail and Hotmail will be there
as long as I need access to my old emails. In fact, they are a lot
better at looking after my files than I am myself.
</div>
<ol>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I
don't have access anymore to the files I saved on old floppy discs –
even if they hadn't corrupted over time and even if I had a floppy
drive, I wouldn't have WordPerfect to read the files.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I
can't watch films that I recorded on videotapes anymore.
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Neither
my previous nor my current computer has a CD/DVD-drive, so I don't
even have access to any of the CD-R backups I made.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
My
dad has had to re-install Windows on his desktop computer several
times and wiped everything I had saved on there.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I
still have access to everything I ever saved in my Gmail, Facebook
and Dropbox.
</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When
I won an iPad in a competition, I figured it would be great for
working on my novel in transit, so I looked for a word-processing
app. This is when I first noticed that intellectual ownership doesn't
just need to change, but is actually changing. OpenOffice, I
discovered, isn't available for iOS, and there were no free
equivalents that lived up to my needs. All free apps, including
Google docs, require you to be online in order to amend your files.
Which means that I wouldn't be able to work on my novel without a
WiFi connection. Not great, considering the fact that I was hoping to
write on the underground. In the end, I had to dish out twenty quid
for Quickoffice Pro, because it was one of the very few apps allowing
me to store files on my iPad rather than online. Even Apple's Pages
only works if you sign up for iCloud.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We
are losing the need to have a physical connection with our
intellectual property (or loot). More and more, having access to it
with any device is replacing having it on one specific
device.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The
mystery of identity of memes is now combined with their loss of
anchoring in our material lives. A significant shift indeed.

times a day, you will make it more difficult for the insects to find you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Citronella and Lemon Eucalyptus Oil are safe, natural alternatives to DEET, but
they are less effective. All scientific studies to date have found that
dietary changes don’t have any influence on whether you are bitten or not, so
don’t worry about garlic, vitamin B or thiamine supplements. Apply the insect
repellent after your sunscreen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Some people have a stronger reaction to mosquito bites than others. If
you suffer from severe reactions, hydrocortisone cream can help reduce the
itching, swelling and redness. Topical antihistamines and anesthetics such as
Ibuprofen gel or Xylocaine gel are ideal for quick temporary relief.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

relieve the itch </span></b><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #474747;">– If you don’t have the aforementioned medication
at hand, you can always try one of the many home remedies to relieve the itch.
Effective tricks include wetting the skin and rubbing baking soda, salt or a
crushed aspirin tablet on the itchy lump. Other people apply dry soap,
toothpaste, vinegar, honey, tea tree oil, lemon juice, raw potato, onion, nail
varnish, crushed basil, Vicks VapoRub or a hot tea bag to the affected area.
These home remedies work best when the bite is fresh and you usually have to
repeat them more often. Whatever you do, don’t scratch – scratching will make
the allergic reaction worse and if you damage your skin, you run the risk of an
infection.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
Those who know me well know all about my hairdresser-dramas, including:<br />
<br />
* An overzealous intern that gave me layers to create <i>more volume</i> (what was she thinking?!?);<br />
<br />
* An angry pro that took revenge after I hadn't seen him for a year, resulting in a fetching Coupe Frizz and<br />
<br />
* A creep with a<a href="http://www.hairsnip.com/" target="_blank"> hair-cutting fetish</a> at Amsterdam Central on a Friday night (don't remind me).<br />
<br />
Yes, I've had my share of experiences that made me want to pull my hair out. Not to mention <a href="http://debbiedoeslondon.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/staying-over.html" target="_blank">Freddie</a>'s recurring jokes (well, I hope they're jokes) about shaving one side of my head while I'm asleep!<br />
<br />
<br />
Sadly, my tresses do need a trim every now and again. Although it can be quite a challenge to get it right behind my back, I've done it myself for the last 4 or 5 years.<br />
<br />
Last weekend, though, I spotted some split ends and asked Freddie. Just like that. Hadn't thought about it, just asked. And he did. As I sat on the edge of the sofa and heard the scissors snip away behind my back, that horrible what-have-I-done-there's-no-way-back feeling overtook me. It helped me sit as still as I could, which, I guess, is a good thing. Comments like "hold on, I think it's a bit shorter now on this side" and "I hope this isn't too much" didn't help though.<br />
<br />
All-in-all, he lopped off about 5 or 6 inches (rather than the requested 5 or 6 cm).<br />
<br />
But guess what - I still have lots of hair left. And it looks good. It looks great, even.<br />
Far better than it would be, had I done it myself.<br />
<br />
So thank you, Freddie.<br />

It helps as well that I've been using a new shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner by <a href="http://www.mixedchicks.net/" target="_blank">Mixed Chicks</a>. It's my best hair-discovery since <a href="http://www.aussiehair.com/uk/products/miracle-moist-shampoo.php" target="_blank">Aussi Miracle Moist shampoo</a> (just the shampoo - the conditioner is not that special. And the Miracle Frizz range doesn't really solve my frizz-problem either). There are other products that make my locks feel soft and bouncy, and there are other products that really define my curls (especially Tesco's Smooth Coconut Conditioner. It's a real shame they stopped selling it!). But as far as I can recall, Mixed Chicks is the only product range that makes my hair look and feel good at the same time - and the effect lasts for 3 days!<br />

don’t need to tell you about the supernatural significance of the number 3. But
have you noticed that there seems to be more magic in the air, lately? There
has been a lot of buzz around 4G, the new Play Station 4 and of course the Samsung
Galaxy S4. I couldn’t help but wonder about the meaning of the number 4…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

number four has a rich cultural background. The ancient Egyptians, for example,
thought the world was made of four elements: earth, water, air and fire. That’s
not exactly how modern science would put it. These days, the experts say that matter
always is in one of four states: solid, liquid, gas or plasma.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

number even seems to be the answer to what the ideal size is for a team. Yes,
the A-team had strong characters, but they needed each other to be awesome. And
didn’t Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and Thing decide to
stick together because as a team… they’re the Fantastic Four? But it’s not just
superheroes that feel stronger when they form a team of four. Just look at some
of the greatest bands in history: The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, ABBA and
even The Black Eyed Peas work together like the four wheels of a car. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

more I think about it, the more bewitching the
number 4 becomes. On a calculator, it is depicted with 4 light bars and both in English
and in Dutch, it is the only number whose number of letters is equal to its
value. Even guinea pigs – the chosen rodents – have 4 toes on their front paws. It's magic!</span></div>

The protagonist of<a href="http://www.deborahklaassen.com/" target="_blank"> my first novel</a> is a Dutch girl in London. That POV was so easy to pull off, it’s almost cheating. But I swear that’s where the similarities end.<br />
<br />
How come I ended up writing a book about someone who yanks her own teeth out with pliers?<br />
<br />
When I presented my first outline for a novel – a tweenage runaway tale – to Fay Weldon and Matt Thorne, they said it was fine. “Go ahead, write it.”<br />
<br />
Which wasn’t good enough for me. I didn’t want to be bread and butter, I wanted to be Marmite.<br />
<br />
My central theme was pretty obvious: leaving home. So I asked myself: what is it really like to leave your roots behind? And the answer was: it’s like pulling out your own teeth.<br />
<br />
Fay laughed until tears appeared when I told her I’d write a convincing story about that instead, and she gave me the nickname Talking Teeth.<br />
<br />
For me, being creative is high-risk gambling. That’s why it’s so addictive.<br />
