Art As Social Commentary: A Match Made In Heaven

2013-05-19T02:20:00.000+01:00

Image by Samdecle Society is a fluid construct, in a constant state of flux as issues that affect it move in and out of fashion, and then is some cases, back in again. Within this complex system, art has given the people who exist within it a platform to have their voice heard, the means of carrying a message that attempts to make sense of the world around them, or in some cases, protest against it. Throughout time there have been countless art movements that have reflected the society, defined by their style, technique, time frame and artistic ideal that allows them to carry the public, social and economic issues of their time. Here we explore four of the most significant and influential art movements the world has ever seen. Renaissance The renaissance art movement flourished in Italy across three centuries from the late 14th century to the early 16th century. Meaning "rebirth”, the renaissance period saw an awakening of the principles found in the classical ages of Greece and Rome. For the art of the time, these principles were a focus on form and beauty. Key practitioners such as Leonardo Di Vinci and Michelangelo displayed unprecedented technique to...

2013-05-17T22:53:00.000+01:00

Image: [ebarrera] 2013 has already experienced some exciting events; not least the start of Beyonce’s “Mrs Carter” world tour and Rihanna getting back together with Chris Brown before breaking up… again. But shrugging our favourite divas aside, this year we have seen the continued rise in popularity of the bespectacled smarty-pants that forms the token gorgeous geek in multiple popular sitcoms. Here are the top five savvy, book smart ladies who’ve stolen our hearts. America Ferrera The original nerdy girl, Betty Suarez played superbly by America, sparked the birth of the loveable stereotype. She became well and truly embedded in television history as a character that we could all relate to, admire, and aspire to be like. With her goofy braces, thick rimmed glasses and eccentric style, (who can forget that poncho!) America portrayed a character with an individuality and genuine sweetness that we would all like the confidence to be able to achieve. Mayim Bialik Queen of the super nerds in the popular TV series, The Big Bang Theory, Mayim plays the perfect nerdy-girl with her cheeky quips, quirky style and ‘never been asked to dance’ hang-ups.

Five Greatest Movies Featuring Horses

2013-05-15T18:12:00.000+01:00

Horses have been the companions of humans for centuries past. Many noblemen have traveled around the world on them; a number of soldiers have ridden them to war; numerous courageous jousters and athletic jockeys have triumphed over their opponents, all with the help of horses. Horses have also been utilized as modes of passenger transport in the Victorian era, and they are still being used so even today. These unique uses of horses have made them companions of filmmakers too. Let us take a look at five of the greatest movies featuring horses. Seabiscuit (2003): This movie is based on a bestselling biography ‘Seabiscuit: An American Legend’ by Laura Hillenbrand. Seabiscuit was an undersized thoroughbred race horse who went on to win many races despite its abnormality. The movie traces that horse’s life who gave hope to its team and the country as a whole. A beautiful movie that is certain to inspire you, and I would recommend reading the book as well. The Black Stallion (1979): It is hard to believe that this movie is an adaptation of a children’s book. The story is too gripping, emotional and inspiring to floor any adult. The book with the same name by Walter Farley was...

5 Child Hackers Who Got Busted

Everyone hears about adult hackers who leave enough breadcrumbs behind to be caught. With many services now moving to online systems, the world is becoming much more aware of security flaws within both software and hardware designs. One hacking group that makes headlines regularly are known as Anonymous. Blamed for many website outages and DDoS attacks on various websites they deem a threat to the many forms of freedom, the hackers of this group aren't only adults. There are many minors that may also be involved in the ongoing attacks across the world, and not all of them get away clean. Michael William Cook Recently, Michael Cook of Acworth, Georgia was arrested and charged with several accounts of cruelty to children and the sexual exploitation of children after pictures of his victims were post on a child pornography website. The photos Cook posted to the site were acquired by hacking into phones and stealing explicit images stored on the child's cell phone. By clicking on a link in an otherwise-innocent text the victim received, they would be unknowingly installing malware that allowed Cook access to their phones.

Top 5 Computer Hackers Who Got Caught

2013-05-02T16:06:00.001+01:00

Computer hacking is viewed as a prank by many people. Other hackers enjoy the challenge of breaking into a complex computer network. However, some computer hackers steal personal information, wreck havoc on expensive computer systems and cause other problems for millions of innocent Internet users. Some hackers can even threaten national security and international relations. The following are five famous computer hackers that faced serious consequences for their unlawful Internet adventures. David Kernell At the height of the 2008 presidential campaign Kernell, a 20 year old college student, accessed the personal email account of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and posted a number of her private messages to another website. The fact that Palin was a Republican and Kernell was the son of Tennessee Democrat legislator Mike Kernell led to fierce accusations of campaign election fraud, but it was later revealed that Kernell apparently acted alone. He was convicted of a variety of offenses including unauthorized computer access and obstructing a federal investigation and was sentenced to one year in federal custody in 2010.

Is Wasted Food the Key to Clean Energy? [Infographic]

2013-04-27T00:11:00.000+01:00

Food waste is a nearly unlimited resource generated by our global food system. Humans have mastered the plow and modified every aspect of our food supply -- and the effects aren't all good. Now most of the developed world struggles with obesity, not starvation. In the process of feeding ourselves we've created a gigantic global waste stream -- dumping nearly 70% of the world's food waste into landfills. What if we used discarded food waste to produce fuel and electricity? Over the next 25 years global energy demands will increase by 50% while global oil supply dwindles. Waste-to-energy could be the key to a more sustainable future. This infographic illustrates just how much food is being wasted across the globe -- from farm to fork, and everywhere in between -- and how that waste can be harnessed for energy, specifically biofuels that can be used to replace the oil-based fuels we use every day. Produced by RWL Water Group, a global waste-to-energy and water treatment integrator with over 4,000 installations across all seven continents.
