[From Huffington Post:
Yesterday, author Maureen Johnson had a great idea. She tweeted ”I do wish I had a dime for every email I get that says, “Please put a non-girly cover on your book so I can read it. - signed, A Guy” - and so came the idea for a challenge for her 77,000 followers. A challenge that she called Coverflip.]

The Ghosts of World War II by Sergey Larenkov
Taking old World War II photos, Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov carefully photoshops them over more recent shots to make the past come alive. Not only do we get to experience places like Berlin, Prague, and Vienna in ways we could have never imagined, more importantly, we are able to appreciate our shared history in a whole new and unbelievably meaningful way.

Alfred Hickling gives a promising review to Opera North’s current production of ‘Giulio Cesare’, but I think he misinterprets how the director (Tim Albery) and the Cleopatra (Sarah Tynan) view the presentation of a woman’s power in a man’s world. For one thing, neither of them talk about flirtation. For another, I think it’s naive to consider flirtation as an activity outside the bounds of power struggle.
The video is a refreshing insight into the way two perspectives (i.e. one dominated by telling a collective story, the other by telling an individual story) come together to tell the same story.
Hickling’s full review here.
