...computer nerds, but the stories require a stoic male presence, and that, Diesel provides to the teen boys who constitute such a movie's core audience. Like Stallone and Schwarzenegger and the other Incredible Bulks who preceded him, Diesel exudes an impersonal toughness; he's the machine at the heart of a movie machine. (See pictures of American muscle cars in movies...
...were conscious and paying at least some passing attention to popular culture in 2006 or 2007, chances are you remember the infectious whistled hook and pitter-patter bongos of Peter Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks.” Its innate cuteness won enough hearts to pass into mainstream consciousness and catapult the Swedish trio to relative renown. Its sheer ubiquity was perhaps best revealed when Kanye West remixed it on his mixtape “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” PB&J followed up the success...
...first companies to demonstrate the effectiveness of such synchronization in a clinical setting. As noted in a recent New York Times article, when these processes and structures were properly paralleled in patients with hypertension over a four week program, “patients experienced clinically significant improvements in heart-rate variability.”These results, though only a first step, are as compelling as they are thought-provoking.

The Little Nyonya, a Singaporean television serial about a Chinese Peranakan family that concluded in the middle of January, was told entirely in Mandarin, a language whose creeping bid for dominance in Singapore has lately eclipsed Baba Malay - the pidgin Malay at the heart of Peranakan culture. But in a sly act of revenge, the immensely popular serial triggered a boomlet in all things Peranakan - like the batik fabrics Peranakan women used to stitch their sarong kebayas, worn most famously by Singapore Airlines' stewardesses, or the lavender-and-purple-colored porcelain bowls from which...
