...baby boom is certainly having an impact on local business. In my street alone, with exception of the Kaya Foundation store for marijuana paraphernalia and the Soap and Cosmetics Caf?, every store and boutique seems targeted at the city's littlest consumers. There's the Finnish Fashion for Children boutique, the Kronjuwel (Crown Jewel) boutique for designer baby clothes and the Captivation Photography studio showcase plastered with pictures of bulging moms-to-be, dads with kids, grandmas with kids, kids with kids...
Every afternoon, tens of thousands of Moroccans - mostly women in djellabas - trudge past the deserted guard posts that separate the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco, which surrounds it on three sides.

I can’t ever really pin down one thing,” Ravishankara says. The physics concentrator says he is hooked on filmmaking because it allows him to be innovative in many capacities...
...Reygadas' very demanding, even more rewarding story of a Mennonite family in Northern Mexico. The screenplay citation went to the Akim film, the story of three parent-child relationships that get sundered; and if the script has more coincidences and withheld identities than a whole season of an American soap opera, it certainly held the interest and provided a showcase for some handsome performances and a budding directorial talent...
