ARTIST STATEMENT:
These pieces are about beauty and society’s value on beauty and how it affects the mental states of individuals. Andrea Deszo’s “My Mother Claimed” inspired me. In this series the artist embroiders serious sayings her mother had said to her as a child into fabric. I realized by doing so it made the harsh words seem less harsh. I followed her method and decided to use colorful embroidery thread to lighten stern subjects. In the beginning I wanted to reunite society with those whom it had shunned due to their visible differences. I wanted to embroider limbs onto amputees, sew aligned spines onto the elderly, and hair onto chemotherapy patients. The finished product is a more concentrated version. The pieces play with the topic of both internal and external health and beauty. I kept in mind how the individuals felt, how they were treated, and their physical inhibitions. For materials I used cotton and embroidery thread. I decided to use the frail handkerchiefs because they were easy to sew into and also added to the theme.

The list of the worldly issues minor and major that impact personal experiences seems to be endless. Some of those issues may be: human overconsumption, intrusive surveillance, racial and other forms of inequality and discrimination, deforestation, air and water pollution, religious control, etc. In our contemporary society we are all potentially impacted by these negative forces since the time we start developing in our mother’s wombs. Humanity, right now, has all the necessities and commodities to provide every person on this planet with a comfortable place to sleep, healthy food to eat, clean water to drink, fresh clothes to wear, and a proper healthcare. But yet the said destructive forces are too overpowering, so the future seems doomed.
For this photographic project making “the personal is political,” I approached different people and asked how they wanted our world to change and to write out this desire with black marker on a white board. In an attempt to allow the people photographed to freely and fearlessly express their truest thoughts about any issues that bother them, I asked them to wear a Guy Fawkes mask to conceal their identities. I chose specifically to use this mask because of its long history, the meaning and the symbolism it carries, and the emotions and thoughts it invokes in most people who are familiar with the mask.
Guy Fawkes was a revolutionary who did not like the status quo, and wanted to overthrow corrupt government and make the world a better place. Hollywood greatly popularized his image via the movie “V For Vendetta,” so to this day he is remembered by many people around the globe as the one who opposed the ruling system. The mask symbolizes protest against tyranny, totalitarianism, any kind of oppression, and any other type of mistreatment and misconduct towards other fellow human beings. It symbolizes a great desire for a better and happier life for all people. It reminds us that we all are creators of our own destiny, builders of our own fate. Except the limitations you place ourselves into by our your own beliefs there are no limitations to what people can do.
Mercedes-Benz.
Once the clear producer of the finest automobiles, advertised under the marketing banner: 'The Best or Nothing' - a statement by one of the company's founders at the beginning of the firm's long history.
One of the core products of the Mercedes-Benz family is the mid-size 'family' car. Introduced post WWII with a unique series, chassis and body with the 1968 W114, and followed by the W123 of 1976, and W124 of 1985. In 1995 Mercedes-Benz released it's latest midsize model, the W210. In size and series it followed closely to the just supersedes W124 Series. Inline 4 cylinder petrol and diesel engines, inline 5-cylinder diesel engines, inline 6-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, and with an eye on both performance, and the US market, V8 petrol engines.
Whereas the W124 series V8 engined models were built in low volumes, many under the AMG performance sub-brand banner, the W210 series had been designed to accommodate V8s from the outset on the standard assembly lines. There were still specific AMG model, bearing higher-output V8s and 'enhanced' bodywork.
A major change occurred in 1997, with a switch from inline 6-cylinder engines to V6 engines for the first time. The new V6 units were of similar capacity to the engines they directly replaces (2.8 and 3.2 litres), but produced slightly higher maximum power figures and equal torque. A new introduction was the V6 of 2.4 litre capacity replacing the previous 4-cylinder inline engine of 2.3 litres capacity, a model of which had been fitted with a supercharger (kompressor). Another key change to the new V6 engines, which was reflected in new V8 engines introduced with a one year delay, was the cylinder head arrangement, now featuring 3 valves per cylinder instead of four.
The new bodies were of very similar dimensions to the earlier W124, with minor increases in length and width. Notably, the Coupe and Cabriolet bodystyles present in the W124 Series were now transferred to the smaller C-Class Platform under program code C208, though they were similar in size to the outgoing (shorter W124 wheelbase) models. The C208 Coupe and Cabriolet models featured many of the powertrain specifications introduced in the W210 Sedan and Estate models.
Unfortunately, one of the remaining core perceptions of the W210 E-Class Mid-size Mercedes-Benz, is that is represents the results in a change of philosophy of the great historic company, a shift from being 'Engineered like no other car', to 'Engineered for cost' with an accompanied reduction in engineering integrity and material quality. There are many documented quality failures, from paint, trim, electrical and mechanical failures. These failures were also seen first in the release of the W202 compact Mercedes-Benz, replacing the 190E-range in 1993, and the W220 Mercedes-Benz S-Class of 1998. Both these models, along with the W210 midrange, were to receive upgrades to address the early identified quality issues, though they never reached the standard achieved by their immediate predecessors, and contributed to the tarnishing of the once-revered 3-pointed star.
The replacement models, respectively the W203 C-Class, W211 E-Class and W221 S-Class all took actions during their development phases to reattain the hallowed quality mantle.
The purpose though, for this Lego miniland-scale Mercedes-Benz W210 E430 T estate car, is LUGNuts 70th Build Challenge - 'Redo and Redemption' - whereby the builder recreates a Lego model from their earlier building career, and redeems it to something worthy of their current skill level. In this case a blue E-Class Estate, which was modelled long ago, in 1995 or so, prior to the introduction of the internet, curvy parts, peer review and digital cameras.

This revised model incorporates opening four passenger doors, opening tailgate, opening bonnet (hood), lego technic piston Vee-engine, independent front and rear suspension, and rear-wheel drive. Some updated parts and styling round out the changes, and hopefully redeem this model to modern-day lego911 standards

This piece was made out of sheer emotion. There was no thinking process, it was made on the spot.
Written statement
In the middle of the night, I often get up to set down on paper an idea, a concept, a piece of art, and realize that what is on the sheet of paper looks nothing like the picture in my mind. My desire to make progress on a technical level pushed me to read books on human anatomy like the Grand Atlas du Corps Humain and sparked my interest for the art of my ancestors in North Africa. I had great difficulty making real my ideas, and dismantling them to the rhythm of pencil strokes. The obsolescence of the aesthetic faced with the experience of a piece of art is, I believe at the heart of contemporary art. For example, Fernando Botero copied Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and made it the antithesis of the original by making her look like all that society rejects. In my most recent work, I found inspiration in a bronze sculpture made by Antoine Bofill. It represented a woman lying on a what appeared to be a soft surface. I wanted my piece to literally embody women’s position in our society, and how that position was also changing. While painting, I found myself following Maurice Denis’s footsteps by transferring lines into movement. Having grown up looking at Manet and Gauguin, their use of soft yet eye catching colors and experimental state of mind has influenced my work and my way of thinking. Each time I finish a piece, I feel like I know myself a little better, and that is what drives me to create.
This course includes three things I love doing: writing, making art and thinking. I find that the University of Brighton complements my values of hard work, constant challenging of oneself and encouragement. I feel like this school will have a positive impact on me and will open several doors in the future. I believe that achieving a degree in this course would prepare me for my future plans and aspirations.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the passing of civil rights leader Dr. Dorothy I. Height:
“Men and women of every race and faith are heirs to the work, passion, and legacy of Dr. Dorothy I. Height. From her earliest days as an activist, she fought for equality under the law for every American - recognizing that the battle for civil rights extended to African Americans, women, the disabled and anyone denied the chance to succeed because of who they are. For four decades, she stood at the helm of the National Council of Negro Women, continuing the struggle for an America that lived up to its ideals of liberty and opportunity, regardless of race or gender.
“In every fight, Dr. Height turned the tides of history toward progress. Today, we live in an America that Dorothy Height helped to shape – a nation defined by equality, shaped by civil rights, and driven by the pursuit of justice for all.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and loved ones of Dorothy Height – the mother of the civil rights movement and a champion for social justice. Her loss is felt by all who knew her, who respected her, and who followed in her footsteps. The nation mourns the passing of this giant of American history. We will all deeply miss her commitment, compassion, and devotion to a better future.”

2nd Lt. Beau Benton of O’Fallon, Ill., assigned to 709th Military Police Battalion, 18th MP Brigade prepares a counseling statement during the Counseling Lane of U.S. Army Europe’s Best Junior Officer Competition at Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany August 19, 2013. The Best Junior Officer Competition, unique to U.S. Army Europe, is a weeklong training event highlighting the best lieutenants and captains in Army units across Europe. These officers represent the best in their units and exemplify the USAREUR imperatives of teamwork, comprehensive fitness, leader development, training, discipline and standards. Competitors for the title of Best Junior Officer prove themselves in events testing physical stamina, leadership and technical knowledge. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Jermaine Baker)
From my nighttime expedition to the Turk St. hoard for long exposure images (for my fellow amateur photographers who like cars, I've discovered that the best images are nighttime ones with timed exposures--try it). Since my first trip here two weeks ago, I've learned that the owner is a gentleman called Nick who evidently works as a cab driver, and who owns at least 15 cars. One of these days I hope to meet him. I went out of my way to be conspicuous while shooting these, but no one came to the window.
As to what we have here, in the foreground is the beautiful 58 Buick Century, now parked on the street with its 'Deluxe Fashionaire' grill visible for all to see, and in the background, along with appropriate period architecture, a fellow 1958 GM offering: the Oldsmobile 88.
New York: After years of relentless campaigning to ensure States negotiate a strong global treaty to regulate the arms trade, civil society groups have been denied participation in key discussions. As Member States have started negotiations this week at the UN Headquarters in New York, Chair Ambassador Roberto Garcia Moritan of Argentina, announced late on Wednesday (July 14) that civil society groups would no longer be allowed to be present during crucial discussions.
Ambassador Moritan is chairing the preparatory talks that are running until next week. The decision to close the meeting came as a surprise as numerous Member States had made earlier statements on the importance of openness and transparency in the process.
“Some States want to hide behind closed doors because they don’t want people to see how much they are prepared to protect trading interests at the expense of protecting the people that bear the brunt of illicit arms deals. This is a major let down during the first week of negotiations,” said Denis Mizne, Director at Sou da Paz in Brazil.
Mizne continued: “As soon as the negotiations turned to the content of the treaty, the doors have been slammed shut. This is giving in to demands from some states that want to strip the treaty of key provisions such as those on human rights and international humanitarian law.”
Civil society has initiated this process along with key governments and has been a constant voice to ensure that key provisions on development, human rights and international humanitarian law will be part of a future deal. Civil society groups are now urging Ambassador Moritan to reconsider and let them join a more transparent process.
“This is very disappointing and worrying. Without the experience and expertise of civil society, it will make it harder to get a strong treaty that reduces suffering and saves lives. This is pandering to a small number of states that want to undermine the treaty,” said Baffour Amoa, Director at WANSA in Ghana.
Civil society has been part of previous international negotiations such as for the Convention of Rights of Persons with Disability (CRPD) and during global climate change negotiations.
“Hundreds of civil society organisations around the world have been advocating to ensure that a future arms trade treaty would be truly effective in preventing the transfer of arms that fuel conflict, human rights abuses, corruption, crime, gender-based violence, terrorism and poverty.” said Helena Koumi, Programme Officer at Swefor.
Negotiations have finally started four years after the UN General Assembly decided by an overwhelming majority to negotiate an Arms Trade Treaty. The future treaty would establish international rules and standards to better regulate the arms trade and close current loopholes. The final negotiating conference is set to take place in 2012.

President Obama, who is traveling to Africa on Air Force One today called the plaintiffs in the Defense of Marriage Act case, congratulating them on their victory.
In a statement, the president said that he applauds the court's decision to strike down "discrimination enshrined in law."
"The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it. We are a people who declared that we are all created equal – and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well," Obama said. "This ruling is a victory for couples who have long fought for equal treatment under the law; for children whose parents' marriages will now be recognized, rightly, as legitimate; for families that, at long last, will get the respect and protection they deserve; and for friends and supporters who have wanted nothing more than to see their loved ones treated fairly and have worked hard to persuade their nation to change for the better."
