Location of Shahbag in Dhaka
Shahbag or Shahbagh (also Shahbaugh, Bengali: শাহবাগ, romanized: Shāhbāg, IPA: [ˈʃaːbaːɣ]) is a major neighbourhood and a police precinct or thana in Dhaka, the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. It is also a major public transport hub.[1] It is a junction between two contrasting sections of the city—Old Dhaka and New Dhaka—which lie, respectively, to its south and north. Developed in the 17th century during Mughal rule in Bengal, when Old Dhaka was the provincial capital and a centre of the flourishing muslin industry, it came to neglect and decay in early 19th century. In the mid-19th century, the Shahbag area was developed as New Dhaka became a provincial centre of the British Raj, ending a century of decline brought on by the passing of Mughal rule.
Shahbag is the location of the nation's leading educational and public institutions, including the University of Dhaka, the oldest and largest public university in Bangladesh, Dhaka Medical College, the largest medical college in the country, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), and the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, the largest public university for technological studies in the country. Shahbag hosts many street markets and bazaars. Since Bangladesh achieved independence in 1971, the Shahbag area has become a venue for celebrating major festivals, such as the Bengali New Year and Basanta Utsab.
Shahbag's numerous ponds, palaces and gardens have inspired the work of writers, singers, and poets. With Dhaka University at its centre, the thana has been the origin of major political movements in the nation's 20th century history, including the All India Muslim Education Conference in 1905, which led to the All India Muslim League. In 1947, to both the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan; the Bengali Language Movement in 1952, which led to the recognition of Bengali as an official language of Pakistan; and the Six point movement in 1966, which led to the nation's independence. It was here, on 7 March 1971, that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered a historic speech calling for the independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan, and here too, later that year, that the Pakistani Army surrendered in the Liberation War of Bangladesh. The area has since become a staging ground for protests by students and other groups. It was the site of public protests by around 30,000 civilians on 8 February 2013, against a lenient ruling against war criminals.[2][3][4]
The neighborhood was originally named Bagh-e-Badshahi (Persian for Garden of Kings), but later came to be called by the shortened name Shah (Persian:شاه, king) Bagh (Persian: باغ, garden).[5]

Mosque/Tomb of Khwaja Shahbaz, built in 1679
Although urban settlements in the Dhaka area date back to the seventh century CE,[6] the earliest evidence of urban construction in the Shahbag area is to be found at monuments constructed after 1610, when the Mughals turned Dhaka into a provincial capital and established the gardens of Shahbag. Among these monuments are: the Dhaka Gate, located near the Bangla Academy in Shahbag, and erected by Mir Jumla, the Mughal subadar of Bengal from 1660 to 1663;[7] the Mariam Saleha Mosque, a three-domed Mughal-style mosque in Nilkhet-Babupara, constructed in 1706;[8] the Musa Khan Mosque on the western side of Dhaka University, likely constructed in the late 17th century;[9] and the Khwaja Shahbaz's Mosque-Tomb,[10] located behind the Dhaka High Court and built in 1679 by Khwaja Shahbaz, a merchant-prince of Dhaka during the vice-royalty of Prince Muhammad Azam, the son of Mughal Emperor Aurengzeb.[11] According to legends a sadhu named Gopal Giri, from Badri Narayan, established a Kali temple in Shahbag in the 13th century. Called kaathgarh at the time, it eventually became the Ramna Kali Mandir.[12] Iti s also said that Kedar Rai of Bikrampur, one of the Baro-Bhuyans, apparently built a Kali temple on the site in the late 16th century, and the main temple was built by Haricharan Giri in the early 17th century.[12]

However, with the decline of Mughal power in Bengal, the Shahbag gardens—the Gardens of the Kings—fell into neglect. In 1704, when the provincial capital was moved to Murshidabad, they became the property of the Naib Nazims – the Deputy-Governors of the sub-province of East Bengal – and the representatives of the Nawabs of Murshidabad.[citation needed] Although British power was established in Dacca in 1757, the upkeep of Shahbag gardens was resumed only in the early 19th century under the patronage of an East India Company judge, Griffith Cook,[13][failed verification] and P. Aratun.[14] In 1830, the Ramna area, which included Shahbag, was incorporated into Dhaka city consequent to the deliberations of the Dacca Committee (for the development of Dacca town) founded by district collector Henry Walters.[15] A decade later, Nawab Khwaja Alimullah, founder of the Dhaka Nawab Family and father of Nawab Khwaja Abdul Ghani, purchased the Shahbag zamindari (estate) from the East India Company. Upon his death, in 1868, the estate passed to his grandson Nawab Khwaja Ahsanullah. In the early 20th century, Ahsanullah's son, Sir Nawab Khwaja Salimullah, was able to reclaim some of the lost splendour of the gardens by dividing them into two smaller gardens—the present-day Shahbag and Paribag (or, "garden of fairies")—the latter named after Paribanu, one of Ahsanullah's daughters.
Water tower in Shahbagh gardens, 1904
With the partition of Bengal in 1905, and with Dacca becoming the capital of the new province of East Bengal, European-style houses were rapidly built in the area, especially along the newly constructed Fuller Road (named after Sir Bampfylde Fuller, the first Lieutenant Governor of East Bengal). Around this time, the first zoo in the Dhaka area was also established in Shahbag.[16] Rani Bilasmani of Bhawal established a new idol in the Kali temple and excavated a large pond in front of it at this period.[12] In 1924, Anandamayi Ma moved into Shabag and established Anandamayi Asharam inside the 2.22 acres of temple ground.[12]
After the creation of the new nation of Pakistan in 1947, when Dhaka became the capital of East Pakistan, many new buildings were built in the Shahbag area, including, in 1960, the office of Bangladesh Betar,[17] (then Pakistan Radio), the national radio station, the (now-defunct) Dacca race-course, as well as the second electric power-plant in East Bengal. On 7 March 1971, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman chose the Ramna Racecourse near Shahbag to deliver his speech calling for an independent Bangladesh. On 27 March 1971, Pakistani Army destroyed the Kali temple and its 120 feet tower.[12] During the ensuing Bangladesh Liberation War, many foreign journalists, including the Associated Press bureau chief in Pakistan, Arnold Zeitlin, and Washington Post reporter, H.D.S. Greenway stayed at Hotel InterContinental (now Hotel Sheraton) at the Shahbag Intersection. The hotel, which had been declared a neutral zone,[18][19][20] nonetheless came under fire from both combatants in the war—the Mukti Bahini and Pakistani army.[21][22] At the conclusion of the war, the Hotel Intercontinental was at first chosen as the venue for the surrender ceremony of the West Pakistan Army;[21] however, the final surrender ceremony later took place in the nearby Ramna Park (now Suhrawardy Uddan).
Shahbag is part of the 181st electoral district of Bangladesh: Dhaka 8.[23] In 2008 Bangladeshi general election Rashed Khan Menon of Workers Party of Bangladesh was elected as the member of Jatiyo Sangsad (member of parliament or MP) from the area. In the Dhaka City Corporation ward commissioner election of 2002 Md. Chowdhury Alam (ward 56) and Khaja Habibullah Habib (ward 57) were elected in the Shahbag area.[24]
More than 1,000 people gathered here on 5 February 2013, growing to 20,000 people by 9 February,[25] following the conviction of Abdul Quader Mollah for war crimes by the Bangladesh International Crimes Tribunal, and his sentence to life imprisonment. Protesters thought he should have received the death sentence for his crimes, as had two other political leaders who were convicted.[26][27] The protest movement gathered force, as leaders also called for the banning of Jamaat-e-Islami from politics, as two of its top leaders had been convicted of war crimes and followers had conducted violent protests and riots. The 2013 Shahbag protests have influenced national politics, and has been called 'Projonmo Chattar'.[28]

The Shahbag Intersection, the nerve centre of the neighbourhood, is the location of many Dhaka landmarks. Well-known ones include Hotel Sheraton[34] (formerly Hotel Intercontinental, the second five-star hotel in Dhaka); the Dhaka Club, the oldest and largest club in Dhaka, established in 1911; the National Tennis Complex; Shishu Park, the oldest children's entertainment park in Dhaka, notable for admitting underprivileged children gratis on weekends; Sakura, the first bar in Dhaka; and Peacock, the first Dhaka bar with outdoor seating. The Shahbag Intersection is one of the major public transportation hubs in Dhaka, along with Farmgate, Gulistan, Mohakhali, and Maghbazar.
The thana also contains a hospitals complex, which is a major destination for Bangladeshis seeking medical treatment. The Diabetic Association of Bangladesh (DAB[35]) is located at the Shahbag Intersection, as are BIRDEM (Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders) and the BIRDEM Hospital. Flanking BIRDEM hospital is the Ibrahim Memorial Cardiac Hospital, named after Dr Muhammad Ibrahim, the founder of DAB and BIRDEM. Other facilities in the area are BSMMU Hospital (at the Intersection) and the Dhaka Medical College Hospital at the southern end of Shahbag.
Located at the juncture of two major bus routes – Gulistan to Mirpur and Motijheel to Uttara – Shahbag Intersection serves as a public transport hubs in Dhaka, where the population commutes exclusively by the city bus services.[36][37] The Intersection also has one of the few taxi stands in Dhaka. The thoroughfares of Shahbag has been made free of cycle-rickshaws, the traditional transport of Dhaka.[38]
Shahbagh Square, also known as Shahbagh Circle, is a major road intersection and public transport hub located in Shahbagh thana. The intersection connects some of the important areas of Dhaka such as Gulshan, and Farmgate. It is also surrounded by some significant landmarks including Bangladesh National Museum, Suhrawardy Udyan, and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University.[39] Throughout its history, Shahbag square has been a place of protests and demonstrations, most notably the 2013 Shahbag protests.[40]
Historic mansions[edit]
See also: Dhaka Nawab Family
Also located in Shahbag are several mansions built by Dhaka Nawab Family in the 19th century. These mansions not only figured prominently in the history of Dhaka, but also gained mention in the histories of both Bengal and British India.
Israt Manzil in the early 20th century
A well-known Nawab family mansion is the Ishrat Manzil. Originally, a dance-hall for the performances of Baijees, or dancing women, (including, among the famous ones, Piyari Bai, Heera Bai, Wamu Bai and Abedi Bai), the mansion became the venue for the All-India Muslim Education Society Conference in 1906, which was attended by 4,000 participants. In 1912, Society convened here again under the leadership of Nawab Salimullah, and met with Lord Hardinge, the Viceroy of India. The Ishrat Manzil was subsequently rebuilt as Hotel Shahbag (designed by British architects Edward Hicks and Ronald McConnel), the first major international hotel in Dhaka. In 1965, the building was acquired by the Institute of Post-graduate Medicine and Research (IPGMR), and later, in 1998, by the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).[41]
The Jalsaghar in early 20th century
Another Nawab mansion is the Jalsaghar. Built as a skating rink and a ballroom for the Nawabs, it was later converted into an eatery and meeting place for students and faculty of Dhaka University and renamed Madhur Canteen. In the late 1960s, Madhur Canteen became a focal point for planning student protests against the West Pakistan regime. Flanked on one side by the Dhaka University's Faculty of Fine Arts and on the other by the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), the Madhur Canteen remains a powerful political symbol.[41][42]
Nishat Manjil was built as the princely stable and clubhouse for the Nawabs, and served as a venue of receptions for the statesmen of the day, including Lord Dufferin (Viceroy of India), Lord Carmichael (Governor of Bengal), Sir Steuart Bayley (Lt. Governor of Bengal), Sir Charles Alfred Elliott (Lt. Governor of Bengal), and John Woodburn (Lt. Governor of Bengal).
The Nawab's Paribag House was built by Khwaja Salimullah in the memory of his sister, Pari Banu. Later, with the downturn in the family's fortunes, his son, Nawab Khwaja Habibullah, lived here for many years. The hammam (bath) and the hawakhana (green house) were regarded as marvels of design in the early 20th century.[43]
Sujatpur Palace, the oldest Nawab mansion in the area, later became the residence for the Governor of East Bengal during the Pakistani Regime, and was subsequently turned into the Bangla Academy, the Supreme Bengali Language Authority in Bangladesh. Some of the palace grounds was handed over to the TSC (Teacher Student Center[44]) of Dhaka University, and became a major cultural and political meeting place in the 1970s.

Shahbag is populated by mostly teachers and students, and its civic life is dominated by the activities of its academic institutions. Its commercial life too reflects its occupants' intellectual and cultural pursuits. Among its best known markets is the country's largest second-hand, rare, and antiquarian book-market,[45] consisting of Nilkhet-Babupura Hawkers Market, a street market, and Aziz Supermarket, an indoor bazaar.[46] Shahbag is also home to the largest flower market (a street side open air bazaar) in the country, which is located at Shahbag Intersection,[47][48] as well as the largest pet market in the country, the Katabon Market.[49] In addition, Elephant Road features a large shoe market and, Nilkhet-Babupura, a large market for bedding accessories.
Shahbag's numerous ponds, palaces and gardens have inspired the work of artists, including poet Buddhadeva Bose, singer Protiva Bose, writer-chronicler Hakim Habibur Rahman, and two Urdu poets of 19th-century Dhaka, Obaidullah Suhrawardy and Abdul Gafoor Nassakh.[50] Shahbag was at the centre of the cultural and political activities associated with the Language movement of 1952, which resulted in the founding here of the Bangla Academy, a national academy for promoting the Bengali language. The first formal art school in Dhaka – the Dhaka Art College[citation needed] (now Faculty of Fine Arts) – was founded in Shahbag by Zainul Abedin in 1948. Later, Mazharul Islam, the pioneer of modern architecture in Bangladesh, designed the art college as one of his early projects. In the 1970s, Jiraz Art Gallery opened as the first commercial art wing in the Shahbag area. Other cultural landmarks in the area include the Bangladesh National Museum,[51] the National Public Library, and the Dhaka University Mosque and Cemetery, containing the graves of Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet, of painters Zainul Abedin and Quamrul Hassan, and of the teachers killed by Pakistani forces during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971.
The Shahbag area has a rich religious history. In the late 1920s, Sri Anandamoyi Ma, the noted Hindu ascetic, also known as the Mother of Shahbag, built her ashram near Ramna Kali Mandir, or the Temple of Kali, at Ramna. Her presence in Dhaka owed directly to Shahbag, for her husband, Ramani Mohan Chakrabarti, had accepted the position of caretaker of Shahbag gardens a few years earlier. In 1971 the Temple of Kali was destroyed by the Pakistani Army in the Liberation War of Bangladesh.[52] A well-known local Muslim saint of the early 20th century was Syed Abdur Rahim, supervisor of the dairy farm established by Khwaja Salimullah, the Nawab of Dhaka, at Paribag. Known as the Shah Shahib of Paribag, Abdur Rahim had his khanqah (Persian: خانگاه, spiritual retreat) here; his tomb lies at the same location today.[53] Katabon Mosque, an important centre for Muslim missionaries in Bangladesh, is located in Shahbag as well. In addition, the only Sikh Gurdwara in Dhaka stands next to the Institute of Modern Languages in Shahbag.[54]
Mangal Shobhajatra on Pohela Baishakh
Since 1875, the Shahbag gardens have hosted a famous fair celebrating the Gregorian New Year and containing exhibits of agricultural and industrial items, as well as those of animals and birds. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the gardens were the private property of the Nawab of Dhaka, and, although a portion of the gardens had been donated to Dhaka University in 1918, ordinary citizens could enter the main gardens only during the fair. In 1921, at the request of the Nawab's daughter, Paribanu, the organisers of the fair set aside one day during which only women were admitted to the fair, a tradition that has continued down to the present. Today, the fair features dance recitals by girls, Jatra (a native form of folk theater), putul naach (puppet shows), magic shows and Bioscope shows. Historically, Shahbag was also the main venue in Dhaka for other recreational sports like Boli Khela (wrestling) and horse racing.[41]
The Basanta Utsab (Festival of Spring) takes place every 14 February—the first day of spring, according to the reformed Bangladeshi calendar. Basanta Utsab has become a major festival in Dhaka since it was first celebrated in Shahbag in the 1960s.[55][56][57] Face painting, wearing yellow clothes (signifying Spring), music, and local fairs are typical of the many activities associated with the festival, which often also includes themes associated with Valentine's Day.
Shahbag is also a focal point of the Pohela Baishakh (the Bengali New Year) festival, celebrated every 14 April following the revised Bengali Calendar, and now the biggest carnival in Dhaka.[58][59] From 1965 to 1971 the citizens of Dhaka observed the festival as a day of protest against the Pakistani regime.[60] Other local traditions associated with the festival include the Boishakhi Rally and the Boishakhi Mela begun by the Institute of Fine Arts (now Faculty of Fine Arts) and the Bangla Academy respectively. In addition, Chayanaut Music School began the tradition of singing at dawn under the Ramna Batamul (Ramna Banyan tree). In 2001, a suicide bomber killed 10 people and injured 50 others during the Pohela Baishakh festivals. The Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, an Islamic militant group, was alleged to be behind the incident.[61]
Books and movies figure prominently in the cultural life of Shahbag. The biggest book fair in Bangladesh is held every February on the premises of the Bangla Academy in Shahbag. The only internationally recognised film festival[62] in Bangladesh—the Short and Independent Film Festival, Bangladesh—takes place every year at the National Public Library premises. The organisers of the film festival, the Bangladesh Short Film Forum, have their offices in Aziz Market. Aparajeyo Bangla, a sculpture in memory of Bangladesh Liberation War, is also in Shahbag.

LeBron James called out Kevin Love on Twitter, asking him to "fit in" on Cavaliers
Updated Jan 12, 2019; Posted Feb 09, 2015
LeBron James: Cavs vs. Lakers, Feb. 8, 2015
Gallery: LeBron James: Cavs vs. Lakers, Feb. 8, 2015
By Joe Vardon, Cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio - LeBron James has nearly 18.7 million followers on Twitter, but a tweet he sent at 11:37 Saturday night was likely, almost certainly, directed at a single person.
His teammate, Kevin Love.
James posted to his Twitter account: "Stop trying to find a way to FIT-OUT and just FIT-IN. Be apart of something special! Just my thoughts."
Stop trying to find a way to FIT-OUT and just FIT-IN. Be apart of something special! Just my thoughts
— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 8, 2015
Those words -- "fit out" and "fit in" -- were the same Love used to reporters in October when discussing his adjustment to playing for the Cavaliers.
"It's not a coincidence, man," James told a few reporters, following the Cavaliers' 120-105 win over the Lakers Sunday. Love scored a season-high 32 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
"I lost the Finals in 2007, 2011 and 2014 and that was the same day I came back to Cleveland. Put it together, seven, 11, 14. Coincidence?" James said, proving his point.
For reference, it is indeed true that James announced his decision to return to Cleveland via free agency on July 11, 2014.
James was asked about his tweet following Sunday's game and Love's big night. James nearly recorded a triple-double with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists -- three of those assists went to Love on three-pointers.
"It wasn't even about this team, it was more about people in general," James said initially, to a larger group of reporters. "It was just a general thought that I had, and obviously whatever thought I had people try to encrypt it and Da Vinci Code it and all that stuff. It's just a general thought, that's all that is.
"And people are always trying to fit out instead of fitting in, instead of being a part of something special. And that's all that was about."
In October, Love told reporters that "I'm just trying not to fit in so much" and that nameless Cavs teammates had told him to "fit out and just be myself."
"Fit in" and "fit out" of course, were written in all caps in James' tweet.
On Sunday, Love was coming off his second five-point game in a week, when he failed to score after the first quarter in Friday night's loss to the Indiana Pacers.
Love is averaging 17.1 points in his first season with the Cavs, not far off his career average of 18.9 points but a mile behind the 26.1 points per game he scored for the Minnesota Timberwolves last season.
On Friday after the Indiana loss, Love told the Northeast Ohio Media Group's Chris Haynes that "I'm trying to find my way" and he was frustrated by his struggles to get in a flow on offense.
James has been talking about selfless play for days. Last week he suggested he would come off the bench, if need be - a ridiculous suggestion in practice but in theory illustrates his point about putting the team first in order to win.
James also hasn't shied away from challenging Love, suggesting he was struggling with his confidence shooting the ball after Love scored just five points against Philadelphia on Feb. 2. Way back in November, when Love complained about not getting enough touches in the paint, James said Love needed to go down there and ask for the ball.
The Cavaliers have won 13 of their last 14 games, and are surging up the standings in the Eastern Conference. A vibe is flowing from the front office, coach David Blatt, and now James, that the Cavs are now capable of winning a championship.
James spoke Sunday about changing "the culture" on the Cavs "to where it was when I left. Get back to the winning ways but also get back to being professionals."
Love's got to play a part. He's a "stretch four" who can shoot threes and rebound, a player good enough to be considered part of Cleveland's "Big Three" when he was acquired via trade and joined James and Kyrie Irving on the Cavs.
Love has had four games of less than 10 points during the team's upswing, and is obviously frustrated. Against the Lakers, he knocked down 11-of-18 shots and was 7-of-8 on threes.
"We wanted to keep going to him," James said. "I drew up a few sets for him in timeout. He had the hot hand and I wanted to keep going to him."
Love said he just "happened to knock down the looks I got tonight, the team got me going." He said James is one of the "best in the league when it comes to setting guys up, and when I'm on the other end of that, a crisp pass coming from him, it's going to be a good look."
Love, who can be a free agent this summer, also quickly shot down a Los Angeles reporter's question about possibly joining the Lakers. "I'm a Cleveland Cavalier," he said.
Blatt, who has clearly tired of the scrutiny Love is facing, said "you people like to talk about a lot of the things that in, in my mind, are less important.
"We win 12 games in a row and everybody's talking about Kevin's five-point game. I mean really, who gives a damn? What's important is that the team is winning, and Kevin knows that."

Happy Public Domain Day! From Stieglitz to Severini, 12 Artists Whose Work Is Now Copyright-Free

January 1 was Public Domain Day — here's a look at artists whose work is leaving copyright behind this year (although not in the United States).
An Intimate Encounter with Paul Strand's Photographic Journeys

Long-Disputed Stieglitz Collection To Be Unveiled This Fall
by Allison Meier April 25, 2013 May 1, 2013
Fisk University in Tennessee came up against a tough decision: faced with financial struggles, they saw an opportunity to keep the school afloat by selling their impressive collection of art, including work by Renoir, Picasso, Diego Rivera, and Cézanne. However, all of this work had been given by Georgia O'Keeffe, who donated the collection, her late husband's — the photographer Alfred Stieglitz — under the agreement that it never be sold or separated. After years of legal battles, those works will be going on display this fall at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Art History, Poetics, and Bad Grammar: The Love Letters of O'Keeffe and Stieglitz
by Arianne Wack February 21, 2013 February 25, 2013
The love letters of Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz number upwards of 25,000. It's such a prolific amount, it makes you marvel that they had any time at all to live the lives they did. The first published volume of their correspondence is some 700 pages, and it captures all the intimacies and intangibles one suffers for, because of, or in spite of love. It is also a valuable source of art history, self-help, bad spelling, and indulgent use of the em dash.
When a Social Circle Became an Art Movement
by Kyle Chayka June 27, 2011 July 6, 2011
The artistic avant garde is often a pretty insular group — when you're doing something new, odds are that few people besides your immediate friends and collaborators know what's up. A jewel box of an exhibition at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts proves just how small the art world is with Modernist Photography 1910-1950, a show that's just as much about the aesthetic (and physical) interrelationships between artists as it is about the advent of modernist photography in the United States.

Tomorrow, Wednesday the 18th of March, at the Alhambra Theatre is taking place "Good News", directed by María Cabeza.
In her premiere in this theatre, the director collaborates with the dancer and choreographer Emmanuelle Santos, who has also work as director of the Choreographic National Centre of Montpellier. As in the majority of her works, María Cabeza, knows how to beautify the scene with the literature and the music, inserting between the elements of the representation her characteristic signature. This new theatre proposal by María Cabeza wants to show the world the physical and psychological reactions in front of good and bad news, from the daily and particular ones to the other universal ones that involve indifferently millions of people.
Tomorrow at 9:00p.m. the Alhambra Theatre is opening its doors for the representation of this spectacle; the entries worth 17€ each and it is already possible to buy it in the website www.ticketmaster.es, phoning the number 902 150 025 or at the ticket window of the Theatre since one hour before each representation.

This month has been a whirlwind - thanks for bearing with me and praying for energy! And a big thanks to those of you who've been praying for my tired heart this week. God's got it and healing is coming.
The new Secret Keeper Girl Show is out on the road!
Since Mom got to come for Mother's Day, she sent Dad to PA for a belated Father's Day!
I survived yet another death-defying trip down the rapids at Extreme Grace!
When the girls walked into class that morning, I handed each one a rock. I didn't explain what it was for or why they had it. I simply began reading the Word.
Now I ask you, where was the man? Why was this poor girl alone? After all, it does take two to tango! Was she betrayed by the man who was in the act of loving her? Was she still naked? Can you feel the disgrace? The humiliation; the chilling breath of impending condemnation and death? I can only imagine what this girl was thinking – what she was feeling. Don't you see the tears streaming down her face? The fear and brokenness of her heart?
One by one her accusers drop their rocks (giant boulders is more like it) and she is left alone with Jesus. Was she relieved? Was she even more terrified to be alone at Jesus' feet? Or did she find some sort of shelter there? Beautifully, He didn't go into the why of her sin… He didn't ask what on earth she was thinking. He didn't plague her with questions or condemnation. Instead, forgiveness with a challenge is extended.
I am confident that in that moment, the woman didn't need anyone to point out her sin. I'm sure she knew full well what she did. How she messed up. Jesus covered her sin and leveled the playing field between "sin" and "more sin." Although she was caught red handed, it didn't change the fact that everyone else in the circle of accusers had experienced a sinful desire at some point. No one was more or less guilty than the other.
Maybe you've been caught red handed in the act and should be dealt the consequences of your sin. Or maybe you're the one hiding behind your Bible with a sinful desire. The truth is, we are all damaged goods. No one less guilty than the other. Consider when grace has been extended to you. When you didn't get what you deserved. I imagine this experience shook up the poor girl to the point that she didn't do it again!
It is simply human of us to judge and accuse. I challenge you to drop your rock. If you are blameless and completely pure (you're not – only Jesus is) THEN and only then can you condemn. As Christians, we live in the beautiful land of beginning again. All mistakes, heartaches and sickening sins are covered at the cross of Christ.
Needless to say the girls got the message about their rocks. They knew why they were holding it. I challenged them to do something with it.
- Some of them felt guilty and chained to self-condemnation for a mistake they had made. They wanted to throw the rock at themselves. Instead they prayed – took a walk and threw the rock into a stream.
- Some were guilty of judging and accusing another girl. They offered the rock to the girl as an apology; a way of making restitution.
What will you do with your rock? You want others in your life to lay theirs down. Will you? Can you put it down and walk away? There doesn't need to be words. Just a surrender. Jesus already leveled the playing field.
Have you been watching the Get Lost video series? A new video will be released each week. Dannah Gresh, her daughter Lexi, Friend Chizzy and myself will banter through Get Lost. Watch it here!

Battle for AFSPA: Irom Sharmila ends her 16-year-long fast, aspires to be Manipur CM
Irom Sharmila, The 44-year-old Iconic Rights Activist, On Tuesday Ended Her 16-year-long Fast Against Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act. She Has Also Shared Her Desire To Be The Chief Minister Of Manipur.

Imphal:
Irom Sharmila, the 44-year-old iconic rights activist, on Tuesday ended her 16-year-long fast against Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act. She has also shared her desire to be the Chief Minister of Manipur. While addressing the media in Imphal, Irom broke down as she announced that she has ended her fast and said she "will never forget this moment".
She said that some radical groups are against her joining politics. "I don't understand why some radical groups are against me wanting to get into politics?: Irom Sharmila in Imphal. I want to join politics as I've been called the Iron lady of Manipur & I want to live upto that name. I am being the real embodiment of revolution, and I want to be the CM of Manipur to help people," she said.
"If I become chief minister, the first thing I will do is remove the draconian AFSPA," Sharmila added.

"Let them kill me the way people killed Mahatma Gandhi with accusation of anti-Hindu," she said on receiving death threats.
"A bail bond of Rs 10,000 has been signed but no date of her release has been put forward", said her lawyer.
The family and her supporters, who have not been able to meet her since July 26 when she announced her decision to end her fast and enter politics to ensure that AFSPA is repealed through political means, have no idea where she is going to stay from now on.
"We don't know where she will go after her release. If she wants to come home and stay with us, we are ready to welcome her. But it is her desire," her brother said.
Irom Sharmila had been protesting against a controversial law that gives the Indian army draconian powers to tackle unrest in her home state of Manipur. Refusing food and water for all that time, authorities have kept her alive by force feeding her through a tube in her nose.
Here is what all she said while addressing the media:

Monuments describe to us the fact that something once happened at that site. While there are many monuments that remind us of important moments in history, there are also many that emphasize a different historical narrative. This likely stems from the fact that history is something that no one can perceive directly. Precisely because history cannot be seen, it is at times exaggerated and at times only the most convenient aspects are selected and edited for public presentation. The relationship between editing and historical record that is found in monuments is analogous to that which is found in the medium of photography, and both seem to be correlated.
In "Retouch", these monuments have been photographed and retouched – their inscriptions removed. Through recording and the editing process, I aim to take the history of humanity as recording and editing and fix it in images.

I have never spoken to anyone about some parts of the book. It was a cleansing experience for me. My wish is to help others in any way I can, this is what inspired me to write this book. If my message only reaches one person, it would have been worth it," shares Francis.
Francis is a proud recipient of the Books of Excellent Merit Award from Pacific Book Review. Its reviewer, Lisa Brown-Gilbert says, "Conclusively, My True Colours: A Mother's Strength turned out to be an emotionally gripping, intensely satisfying, portrayal of motherly love. Overall, I found Lauren's story a captivating and emotional ride of trials, tribulations, and triumphs. I found her resilience and determination admirable as she took control of her life, even when it meant being a struggling single mother prone to ridicule and disrespect even from friends…I found myself booing, cheering and crying for heroic Lauren and I think readers will as well. This novel is certainly worthy of Hannah Francis' debut work, which I do recommend."
The book continues to garner great feedback and five-star ratings in bookselling sites. Readers and professional book reviewers alike rave about how the book is heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time. Megan Bain of the The US Review of Book says, "Through this novel, Francis shows to women that, no matter the circumstance, a woman can have that innate desire for motherhood fulfilled and successfully raise her children with or without a man. She gives hope to women stuck in an abusive relationship and gives understanding to those who are not, creating a bond with all her readers."

Award-winning Songwriter Says His Protest Song Reminds Us of Threat to Take Over the U.S. "With Your Own Democracy!"
President Trump's Every Act, as "Putin's Poodle," Clearly Shows His Prepping and Weakening of the United States for Eventual Takeover by Russia
We will take over America,
but not with our
military…we will take over the United States of America with your own
democratic processes…and
we will bury you!""
— Late Russian Czar, Nikita Krushchev
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Los Angeles, CA – September 29, 2019 – James E. Shaw, Psychology professor who taught doctoral (Psy.D. and Ph.D.) students at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, says he well remembers watching in horror the late Russian Czar Nikita Krushchev's televised angry threat, "We will take over America, but not with our military…with your own democratic processes. We will BURY you!"
Concerned that "President Trump definitely is a pro-Russia asset and fanatic whose treasonous acts may eventually result in Vladimir Putin taking over the United States," Shaw, who also holds a university degree in music, wrote both music and lyrics for "Trumpty Dumpty: Faking America Great!" He registered this protest song with Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI). The song, winner of the Finalist Award, in the "USA Songwriting Competition," is now distributed by iTunes, Pandora, AmazonMusic, GooglePlayMusic, and over 30 other music-streaming sites.
"Trumpy Dumpty: Faking America Great!" pulls no punches as Shaw's groups, TWITTER LITTER (named for Trump's notorious habit) and EARTH DANCE, belt out sizzling lyrics amid a hot cha-cha dance beat. The song was written to "remind my fellow Americans that, since his Presidential Campaign and victory, Donald Trump has shown what a FAKE and FRAUD he is, as Chief Executive of the U.S." Shaw says that Trump has "merely spent his time, energy, and rapidly-diminishing brain power in making America hate again." He adds, "Trump is the embodiment of known despots, world-wide, who repress and suppress their populations, stirring up citizens emotionally into irrational hatred for each other and, thus marinated and tenderized, are easy renderings for Russia, always lurking behind the scenes and ordering and manipulating every treasonous act by Trump, who is Putin's loyal and fanatic asset."
Shaw says "Trumpty Dumpty: Faking America Great!" "is a protest song to remind all Americans" that the nation's "2016 ballot count manipulation" led to Trump's election victory as a "a single-thought anti-American despot who crossed political borders" and, sadly, forged his "alliances with easy-to-manipulate, mentally-challenged white supremacists, and erected his own personal wall to shut out, insult and slander the nation's minorities and diverse cultures, including their Congressional representatives." Shaw adds: "To say President Trump is 'out of line' promoting his zero thought utterances and ideas, his block-headedness, his turret-like name calling, and his full-blown racism, would merely be a polite suggestion that he is steadily showing mental and emotional derangements that merely seem to be disturbingly anti-American." Shaw says that President Trump's unabashed love for Russia's Vladimir Putin "shows increasing evidence of being the surreal present-day manifestation of an unraveled script by Russia's Krushchev following his Cold War-era threat to take over America through our democratic processes."
Shaw says that American people have a "well-documented history of virtually, automatically" learning and predicating their responsive behaviors around national protest songs that eventually become classic anthems. "If one analyzes popular American songs, including protest songs, there are ideas, truisms, calls to action, and a foundational spirit inspired and cemented by optimism and faith inherent in almost all of America's renowned songs." Shaw says, "I am pinching myself and deeply appreciative" that American protest song icon, Bob Dylan, "recently tweeted me that he likes my song, 'Trumpty Dumpty: Faking America Great!'" Shaw asks that "all of America's artists, actors, musicians, and other celebrities compose protest songs, poetry, books, blogs, and articles, in a giant and collective rebuke of Donald Trump, in a growing Tsunami-like pre-2020 voters' denunciation! Donald Trump, PUTIN'S POODLE, has to go back to where he came from!" Shaw's "Trumpty Dumpty: Faking America Great!" ends with: "Daylight come, we want you go home. Impeach you now we must! Bye, Felicia!"

New giant in online content emerges from tech hub Sweden
Vigor CEO Magnus Sorlander and Chimney CEO Henric Larsson
CVG Board Chairman Michal Kalinowski
The need for huge volumes of "always-on" quality content has advertisers increasingly sharing the same needs as traditional broadcasters. CVG has the answer.
All trends are pointing in the direction of the need for ever-increasing quantity and quality, storage, tech solutions, and adaptable ways of creating personalized content for target groups."
— Henric Larsson
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, September 30, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — The need for huge volumes of "always-on" quality content has advertisers increasingly sharing the same needs as traditional broadcasters, says the newly formed Chimney Vigor Group (CVG)—which now sees itself prepared to assist with this demand "more than any other company in the world"
Stockholm, Sweden (September 24, 2019)—Following its merge with California-based content distribution and media solutions leader Vigor, the Chimney Group is setting itself up for exponential growth and further international reach—positioning itself as a serious contender in the US content production and distribution industry.
Vigor operates the biggest and most advanced content distribution network and monitoring system in the broadcast industry, delivering nearly 75% of syndicated TV content in the US, with clients including giants CBS, Fox and Warner. Founded in 1996 in Sweden, The Chimney Group has built its reputation as an innovative global creative studio with offices in four continents, using a unique mix of creativity and smart content management and distribution. Its client roster includes Netflix, Facebook, H&M, and Atlas Copco, among hundreds of others.
Operational from Autumn 2019 with full implementation by March 2020, CVG will become one of the leading privately-owned content studios in the US. Combining Vigor's tech experience of managing masses of content with Chimney's communications creative solutions, CVG will be able to create, manage and distribute thousands of content assets per month, expecting to double its revenue and client base in the coming years.
"All trends are pointing in the direction of the need for ever-increasing quantity and quality, storage, tech solutions, and adaptable ways of creating personalized content for target groups," said Group CEO Henric Larsson. "Clients today typically seek hundreds of outputs for a single campaign, compared to just 5 years ago when they might have been able to get away with a 30-second spot and a handful of cut downs," he added.
Employing nearly 500 people and covering the USA, EU, and APAC regions, CVG expects to gain significant control of this explosive video market, continuing to service existing as well as new multinational and larger local clients.
"Bringing the benefits of a marriage of creativity and tech to the US market is very exciting," said North America CEO Marcelo Gandola. "We are removing complexity, enabling seamless content production and distribution by harnessing tech to deliver creativity at scale. The result is reduced costs, improved collaboration, and simpler workflows. We're gearing up for the future, but our biggest clients are already here, so we need this now."
"Chimney and Vigor's combined strengths place us as pioneers in the future of media, entertainment, and brand solutions, catering to the key need for faster and more efficient brand development and management—combined with a strong base in creativity," Larsson added.

Chimney is a global, full-service creation studio excelling in brand marketing, advertising and entertainment content. Fusing strategy, production, technology and creativity, our 300+ employees work with an integrated process to deliver value to our clients. From ideation to distribution, each team member focuses on a holistic outcome born by openness and collaboration.
About Vigor
OneVigor, Inc. is a privately owned, media technology solutions company with a thriving network of technology partners and customers within the media, cable and broadcast industries. Founded in 2002, the company provides content distribution, ad insertion, and media solutions for some of the biggest networks and brands in the world.
As technology becomes increasingly fine-tuned, so are global brands' target market segments. With this increased demand for targeted advertising, annual spend on digital video ads is forecast to increase by 17%, reaching $43 billion by 2020.
But with stagnant or declining budgets, corporations are struggling to keep up with production of the required high-quality content, at mass volume. The solution, says CVG, is automizing content production—the critical gap that Vigor's nearly 20 years of software building experience fills.
CVG's step into the world of data-driven, live and dynamic content enables marketing teams to create more and better adverts and communications solutions in less time.
Creativity + Tech
While there are at least 50,000 marketing tech products on the market today, tech alone cannot solve the need for mass volumes and seamless content production and distribution—creativity is key to create impact, said Vigor's CEO, Magnus Sorlander.
"The challenge has always been to join creativity with the processes and automation needed," he said. "Tech boosts and supports creativity and together they deliver a higher impact than if standing alone."
Vigor's experience with entertainment, advertising, and user-generated content distribution will now thrive next to the award-winning creative powerhouse Chimney Group, adds Sorlander.

Modern Country Artist Time Travels With 'Jukebox'
Photo by Neon Leaf Media
"The song was started back in 1982 and finished 37 years later."
NASHVILLE, TN, USA, September 29, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Shelby Lee Lowe, one of Nashville's newer Mod Country singer-songwriters, is combining his traditional roots with today's modern touch in his latest single, "Cuss the Jukebox," available in music outlets on September 27th.
Lowe, raised on Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakum, and Merle Haggard, wanted to do more than just give a nod to his early influences – he wanted to channel them – so he brought in songwriting partners David Payne, a honky tonk veteran from Lewisburg, TN, and producer/writer Andrew Scott Wills, of Nashville, to add that element of authenticity.
"I knew I wanted Cuss the Jukebox to sound like something I would've heard growing up, and Dave was the perfect guy to help me get there. We met when I was first getting started in Nashville – let's just say he's been playing bass in country bands and cranking out originals since before I was even born. The song was started back in 1982 and finished 37 years later."
Wills, who produced the single, immediately loved the idea of an old throwback, embracing the challenge to create something iconic that would still work in today's streaming digital world.
"On the heels of Ken Burn's incredible PBS special I feel like music listeners are ready for a modern take on Classic Country. It was fun to step into the musical time machine and hear some of Dave's stories from back in the day."
"Cuss the Jukebox" can be found at Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and other digital outlets.

Matt Gottlieb to Star in 'Take Five' and 'Falling in Love' for LBPC
Matt Gottlieb has signed on for a number of US projects.
The Israeli auteur is also set to star in 'Birds, Birds Birds' and 'Revenge is Best Served…Part Two' for the Los Angeles-based Lucky Break.
Mr. Gottlieb has made unique and original contributions to our field by lending his skills to many different mediums of performance."
— Rachel Goldberg
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 28, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Israeli-native Matt Gottlieb, fresh off his series-regular role on the Netflix series 'Fauda', is attached to a series of projects with LA production company Lucky Break. The move marks a strong step in the direction of further international partnerships for the American company, also known for 'Skye' and 'Foreign Love' (both starring Gottlieb).
LBPC will film the projects consecutively, taking advantage of local resources and building a film collective where participating talent can grow in partnership across multiple projects.
LBPC has ventured into narrative production in the last few years, after its initial humble beginnings as a demo reel service for actors. The company's popularity and reputation among industry professionals inspired its expansion.
Each of the projects will notably offer Gottlieb the opportunity to play a range of characters, from the practical, straight forward Dev in 'Birds, Birds, Birds' to the sensitive, aspiring poet Michael in 'Take Five'.
Gottlieb also recently appeared as Alon in multiple episodes of the series 'When Heroes Fly', an action drama series also distributed on Netflix.
"Mr. Gottlieb's significant role in the hit television series 'Fauda' has been exhibited worldwide in 190 countries. He has made unique and original contributions to our field by lending his skills to many different mediums of performance" said acclaimed TV director Rachel Goldberg, herself known for 'American Horror Story', 'Mayans' and 'Veronica Mars'.
Originally hailing from Haifa, Israel, Gottlieb later graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and HB Studio in New York, which also boasts Al Pacino and Robert De Niro as alumni. In addition to his prominent screen work, Gottlieb regularly works with Shia LaBeouf at the Slauson R.C Theater Company.
"I've worked with Fernando (Ramirez) and Justin (Dickey), the co-founders of LB, multiple times in the past and am grateful for their trust and our continuous collaboration. I'm excited for the opportunity to create more significant, powerful work that will play a major role in the film and television industry for years to come."

Amazon Releases Award-Winning Film, Happygram: Mammograms Don't Work for the 40% of Women With Dense Breast Tissue
Award-Winning Documentary, Happygram Movie Poster
Mammograms miss more than half of invasive cancers in the 40% of women with dense breast tissue; issue explored in feature-length documentary.
Happygram is to mammograms what Blackfish was to SeaWorld."
— R. Cimino
NEW YORK, NY, US, September 27, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — The award-winning documentary, Happygram, has been released on Amazon on September 27, 2019, in advance of "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" in October.
In March of 2019 the FDA proposed a change to reporting guidelines for the first time in 20 years to include breast density information in mammogram reports that are sent to patients. This information is already collected and provided to the referring physician.
Women advocates had demanded this change for a decade, and were forced to enact state legislation to require "density reporting" while the FDA resisted calls for the change. As a result of this advocacy, 38 states had enacted some type of density notification laws as of 2018, although not all laws required notification to a woman about her own density.
"Dense tissue" refers to having more than 50% non-fatty vs. fatty tissue in the breast. 40% of women who get mammograms have dense breast tissue, which appears white on a mammogram, and can obscure cancers. 70% of invasive cancers occur in women with dense tissue and cancers are often missed by a mammogram for years until they have metastasized.
Density Fact Sheet: http://www.happygramthemovie.com/press.html
Women with dense tissue have a higher risk for breast cancer. Women with > 75% density have 4-6 times the average risk for cancer, a higher risk than if your mother had breast cancer.
"Happygram" is the term for the form letter women receive stating that their mammograms are "normal," when they actually have an invasive cancer that is missed by the mammogram.
The documentary was inspired by the friendship between Director Julie Marron, of Rhode Island, and Hallie Leighton, her close friend who died after mammograms missed her breast cancer until it had metastasized. Ms. Leighton was instrumental in the effort to enact the New York state legislation in 2013 before she passed away. The film has won awards across the country, including First Prize for the Providence Film Festival Award at the prestigious Rhode Island International Film Festival.
"Happygram features several women who were not informed of their breast density, of the increased cancer risk that dense tissue poses, or of the fact that mammograms can, and do, miss cancers when you have dense breasts," says film director, Marron.
The film explores alternative and adjuvant FDA-approved screening modalities which are more effective at detecting cancer in women with dense tissue. "The film includes interviews with medical experts, politicians, and attorneys advocating for awareness and action on this life-and-death issue," Marron states. More info: http://www.happygramthemovie.com/about-us-.html
"What stands out in all the stories in this film is that everyone's cancer was missed for many years by the mammogram, and you just don't hear about that when breast cancer awareness month rolls around," Marron said. "We hope to highlight the importance of knowing your breast density, so that no woman ever has to go through what these women did."
Lemon Martini Productions is a woman-owned documentary production company specializing in social justice topics. Other films include the award-winning documentary, Four Games in Fall (fourgamesinfall.com), which explores topics of science for hire and media manipulation. Man's Best Fiend explores human/wildlife coexistence through a fifteen-year study of the coyote population on Aquidneck Island and is currently in production.

Jacaranda Records Unveils UK's First Immersive Audio Studio Built For Music
Jacaranda Studios: Purpose built immersive & 3D audio facilities
* New Immersive & 3D Audio Studio opens in UK's Music City *Service supporting latest Amazon & Apple devices *Custom facility for immersive storytelling
e work in a seminal moment like the Mono-Stereo transition: Mono – Stereo – and now Immersive Audio"
— Ray Mia
LIVERPOOL, UNITED KINGDOM, September 27, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Jacaranda Records has announced the completion of Liverpool's first immersive audio studio – opening up a rich pipeline of commercial 3D audio mixing and soundtrack design work for the facility from around the world.
The immersive mix studio, built on the top floor of the city's historic Jacaranda Club, provides full spatial audio mixing and mastering for cinemas, home theatre & headphone playback, bringing expertise in the emerging sound technologies set to transform the music, film and broadcast industries to the UK's Music City for the very first time.
Immersive or 3D audio is a high definition format currently being adopted at a rapid rate, with Amazon's recently announced Echo Studio device and Apple's new iPhone 11 both supporting the technology.
Jacaranda Records' Capomaestro Ray Mia said: "We work in a seminal moment like the Mono-Stereo transition: Mono – Stereo – and now Immersive Audio, and Jacaranda Studios – the first music specific immersive facility of its kind anywhere in the world – has been conceived and built to work in this moment.
"It feels right that in the building which wrote the script for the modern music industry as we know it – giving Lennon & Sutcliffe a break – and being such an integral part of the formative history of the greatest band of all time, that we're now honouring that tradition with a facility which not only delivers the best available audio technology to the heart of the city's music community, but will also bring a rich vein of creative work into the region. "
In addition to handling the immersive mixing & mastering for Jacaranda Records' own roster, Jacaranda Studios already has a pipeline of soundtrack design & production, catalog remixing and binaural mastering work contracted from music producers, broadcasters and filmmakers in both the UK and US, with the first projects getting underway this month.
Announced last year, the immersive studio represents only the first stage of Jacaranda Studios' development, with a larger facility in the advanced stages of planning with Merseyside-based businesses and scheduled for completion early 2020.
Immersive Audio – sometimes referred to as Spatial or 3D audio – offers listeners a 360 sound experience far enhanced to traditional stereo. The format can be adapted for use on virtually any system ranging from ordinary headphones to home theatre systems and cinemas, and has already been adopted by most Cinema Theatres, Apple TV, Netflix, Xbox, Amazon, Sky and a host of international broadcasters.
"Through products like Dolby Atmos and a few other systems out there artists and producers are able to reimagine music and sound design in three dimensions, offering a richer, more flexible sound palette to create unique immersive experiences for the listener, we're talking about immersive narratives, telling stories through and with audio – whether that be on or off screen, it's about painting pictures with sound " Mia continued.
"That creates a lot of opportunities to innovate, from the way musicians record and produce music to connect with their listeners – all the way to how scriptwriters think about dialogue – and ultimately how filmmakers use sound to tell these stories to their audiences. We are an Immersive First label, the first of its kind, we have the street smarts, the experience on active works – and now with boots on the ground to offer the Music and Film/TV industries the tools they need to do all of this.
"With the format already being fast tracked by every major manufacturer, technology platform, Film Studio and broadcaster, Immersive Audio is fast approaching – or may well have passed its tipping point, with media & music companies creating new immersive mixes of their best selling works to meet anticipated demand… in a world of fragmented media, and ever increasing demands to command audience eyes and ears, Immersive Audio is more than an incremental gain that content creators cannot ignore. This is an experience upgrade."

The young Puerto Rican vocalist; and song writer, recently signed a record deal with longtime indie record label MVB RECORDS. MVB RECORDS is wasting no time in getting Jewels ready for the spotlight, and she recently had her very first photo shoot in Brooklyn, New York. Her record label placed longtime label rep Xiomarie Segura in charge of Jewels' first photo shoot, and they also hired a handful of other people to make sure that everything went well.
The purpose of the photo shoot was for the label to have many photos of Jewels on hand to use for future cover artwork designs, social media marketing, and possible flyers and posters for street promotions. Jewels' hair and makeup was done by Xiomarie who has been working with MVB since 2006, when the the company first started. Jewels' wardrobe was put together by popular stylist "Looks By Lunden", and her pictures were taken by up-and-coming photography company "Photography By Dash".

Even before her first single is released Jewels is already hard at work writing her second single, and her record label is sparing no expense with Jewels' recording process; the label is going as far as scheduling eight hour studio sessions for Jewels.
