...With the long-dormant Tokyo art market healthy again, there's a hunger for new painters who keep up time-honored skills. "You have to be based in the tradition, but if you can maintain that, and at the same time do something new, that's a formula for success," says Kenji Nishimura, a veteran Tokyo art dealer. Like many supposedly venerable Japanese traditions, however, nihonga actually isn't that ancient. The term was coined during the Meiji period in the late 1800s, when artists and critics-including a number of Japanophile European expatriates-became alarmed...
...Power Horse advertises itself as healthy, stating that it “releases the energy dormant in us.” It also contains vitamins B12, B2 and B6. The other unpronounceable ingredients, according to the website, are quite the opposites of assumed carcinogens and actually detoxify the body. That energy should stay dormant.

"For a country like Venezuela, it's really the only way to build a cinema infrastructure," says the adviser. As for the built-in politics...
...time it actually appeared that HSA and Harvard would sever ties with Collegeboxes, and that a UC position paper had, for once, actually made a difference. But like a once-spurned lover suffering from the delusion that a mere year apart would relight the storage-lust lying dormant in the Harvard student body, Collegeboxes has returned. And this time, they have a “100 percent satisfaction guarantee.” Presumably as opposed to the zero percent satisfaction guarantee that they had last year. But the company’s protestations ultimately ring hollow; they are still trafficking...
