Just when the crowd was convinced that the night couldn’t get any better, the revered Q-Bert blessed the vinyl with his touch. He warmed up with his signature style combining dexterity and sensitivity in a series of eerie, cosmic sounds evoking outer space and alien noises. Q-Bert worked away on the turn-tables, caressing the grooves and flicking the mixer with such masterful technique that the speed of his fingers would just blur the big screen overhead with fuzzy pixels of light. As though he need to prove his famed talent, Q-Bert proceeded...
...camouflage Outer Tactical Vest weighs in at a relatively light 8 lbs. and protects troops against flying fragments from artillery and hand grenades. Further protection against bullets is provided by two Small Arms Protective Inserts, ceramic plates weighing 4 lbs. apiece, which are slipped into pockets on the front and back of the vest.

We know about them by seeing, touching and measuring them. Mind, spirit, and soul belong to the domain of inner knowledge. We know about them only through our personal conscious experience...
...change is hard work. On this cold, winter night Huang, as official artistic director of the government-sponsored Shanghai Song and Dance Ensemble, is rehearsing at a practice hall in the outer suburbs of Shanghai. The turquoise linoleum floor is cracked and chipped. Strips of white cloth bandage the warped practice bar that rings the room. And two 2-m-tall heaters by a glass wall barely keep the dancers warm between routines. Now it's Huang's turn to perform. Quickly marking the moves with three other male dancers, he turns on the music and jogs into formation...
