She received a J.D. degree from Boston College Law School in 1994.

Paul Callan '75 and Mel Robbins '94 are the unlikeliest of pairings as two of CNN's top legal analysts, but their on-air fusion yields shrewd insight, charismatic commentary, and turbo-charged debate.

It's hard to reconcile where Paul Callan and Mel Robbins are now with where they have been.

He drove a cab for years, couch-surfed for a spell on university campuses all across the UK and once worked six months as an ADA in Brooklyn without a paycheck.

She spent her infancy living in public housing, waged war with postpartum depression as a first-time mom, and discovered her true calling at an Oprah Winfrey conference.

To be sure, cherry-picking from almost any accomplished résumé usually produces an idiosyncratic zig or zag.

But as divergent as the backstories might seem from the current realities of their professional lives, the pair's must-see-TV convergence inside the same network studio on the same shows at the same time is, at best, improbable.

Robbins grew up in a western Michigan municipality so small that CNN's New York bureau houses nearly as many employees as her hometown has people.

And in spite of an increasingly jet-set lifestyle, she still self-identifies as a "Midwestern girl," though she defies the stereotype entirely.

She is brash, brainy, and brutally honest.

Equal parts legal eagle and Joan Rivers with a dash of Vivien Leigh's flair for the dramatic

That said, one gets the distinct impression Robbins would never depend upon the kindness of strangers.

He exudes gravitas and poise, possessing a ship captain's affect, which figures since he's a "mostly" self-taught sailor.

Some CNN colleagues call him "The Professor."

Remove the politics and the marriage (though their on-air rhetoric can approximate a domestic squabble) and there's a very real vibe of antipodal policy wonks James Carvil and Mary Matalin.

Together, these two BC Law alums comprise 40 percent of CNN's primary stable of legal analysts.

They are passionate, contentious, caring, and unvarnished.

And they remain awestruck by the privilege of the platform they've been afforded as well as obsessed with interpretive accuracy.

Their earnest partnership—an adaptive and compelling on-screen tango—is arguably revving into cable television's fast lane.

Whatever CNN is paying them, it's probably not enough.

"Without question, they are nothing less than a dream team," says Ashleigh Banfield, an anchor at CNN since 2011 and now host of Legal View in CNN's weekday noon slot.

"I couldn't be happier that they've agreed to sit with me on a regular basis.

They are delightful and two of the smartest people on television."

Be that as it may, birds of a feather, they are not.

Callan has been involved in some of the nation's most noteworthy criminal and civil matters of the past four decades, serving on the prosecutorial team in the case against Son of Sam serial killer David Berkowitz, orchestrating the Nicole Brown Simpson estate's successful civil suit against O. J. Simpson, and representing parties to past and pending actions in the Central Park 5 case.

His other well-known clients as a founding partner at New York's Callan, Koster, Brady & Brennan have included actor Leonardo DiCaprio, director Quentin Tarantino, and billionaire socialite Ivana Trump.

Callan signed an exclusive contract with CNN in 2011.

"I've been covering trials for more than thirty years and whenever something new comes up, I'll make a quick call to Paul and ask him about a point of law," says longtime CNN National Correspondent Susan Candiotti.

"Without fail, he can explain it for me.

He's seen different kinds of cases from all sides."

While "The Professor" rode the express train into the legal-analyst spotlight, Robbins caught the local.

She stopped practicing law almost twenty years ago after a stint with a large corporate firm in Boston preceded by three and one-half years as a public defender for violent felony criminal offenders in Manhattan.

The why is quintessential Mel Robbins: "I realized that I love the law, but I don't ever want to answer the question 'What do you do for a living?' with the words 'I'm an attorney.'"

She hired a life coach, who within three weeks told her she should be a life coach.

Robbins followed up by launching two self-help companies, earning a reputation as a tough-love, personal-improvement coach and a guru of CEO makeovers, then scored a syndicated call-in advice show on Sirius.

"Mel doesn't mind doing 'ready-fire-aim,'" says retired attorney and family friend Chris Lucas '94, who partnered with Robbins and Ann Taylor '94 en route to the New England championship in mock trial at BC Law.

"That's part of her charm, and I think it's what has propelled her from a media perspective.

In point of fact, Robbins sports a tattoo on her right wrist that reads: It Shall Be.

Television folks began sniffing around in 2007.

That landed Robbins a development contract with ABC, an on-air talent gig with FOX (on a show that never aired), and two seasons as a relationship coach on Monster in-Laws, an original reality series on A&E.

The breakthrough came in 2011, when Random House published her self-help book Stop Saying You're Fine and when her Tedx talk "How to Stop Screwing Yourself Over" became an internet sensation that now has over three million views.

She made her first appearance on CNN in 2013.

Here and now, Callan's day job revolves around his enthusiasm for civil rights advocacy on behalf of wrongfully imprisoned criminal defendants.

In this capacity, he serves as of counsel to the specialty firm Edelman & Edelman, and he has the luxury of being highly selective.

He has also downshifted from senior partner to of counsel at the firm he founded to accommodate the workload.

Robbins is a brand unto herself, stewarding the eponymous inspirational-speaking juggernaut, Mel Robbins: A Motivational Experience.

She's booked nearly two-dozen engagements already this year at major sales, leadership, entrepreneurship, and upper-management corporate summits.

Growing this business—conceived thanks to Oprah—is her top priority.

"They hit at the heart of what an editorial producer looks for," says CNN Senior Editorial Producer Marie Malzberg.

"They have the depth, and they also have a little bit of Hollywood to them.

There's a little something extra the viewer is going to get from them.

When they disagree, it's a lot of fun to watch.

They are such an asset to CNN, and they make us look good."

First job ever: Paper boy and also a caddie at Indian Meadow Country Club in Westborough.

("A lot of the guys I carried clubs for were BC Law grads.")

Biggest risk ever taken professionally and the outcome: Quitting my job as a soon-to-be partner in a large civil law firm in NYC and hanging out my own shingle as a solo practitioner in 1980.

The firm eventually grew to forty attorneys.

Describe yourself in one word: Eclectic.

Best piece of advice you've ever received: Get your fee upfront.

If you could have one more hour in your day, how would you dispense that: Become more active in charitable endeavors.

What is the most stressful situation you've handled and what was the outcome: Representing an innocent client in a murder case, because you're always second-guessing yourself, realizing one error on your part could send a person to prison for life.

A typical day at CNN for Robbins and Callan is essentially a series of bench sidebars (minus the judge) cranked out at the pace of a short-order cook.

And the legal landscape in 2015 has kept them busy: the Boston Marathon bombing case; the trial of former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez; the Ferguson, Missouri, grand jury; Indiana's religious freedom law; the arrest of documentary film subject Robert Durst; the death of Baltimore's Freddie Gray while in police custody; and many other hot-button legal battles.

The network has been unafraid to lean on them like the two most trusted arms in a major league bullpen.

"We're getting a lot of use and we're both very flattered they rely on us so much to do commentary," says Callan.

"Whenever there's been a jury verdict in a big case over the last four years, I've been fortunate enough to be invited on air."

Shortly before nine on an overcast Tuesday morning this spring, they are scheduled to trade jabs at the top of the hour about the likely fate of a seventy-three-year-old reserve deputy in Oklahoma, who shot and killed a suspect while apparently under the impression he was deploying a Taser.

They received this discussion topic just forty-five minutes earlier.

Callan crams in a seventh-floor holding area for on-air guests at the Time Warner Center.

Robbins sits in a barber's chair across the hall getting makeup and hair.

Though both profess a high degree of solemnity for the responsibility and challenge of what they're being asked to do each time they go live, neither exhibits any nerves.

Suddenly, a frantic text from their producer kicks off a hurried dash to the fifth floor, where they need to be miked and seated at the anchor desk within three minutes.

On set, Robbins keeps things loose, bantering with bystanders and kidding with Callan, who plays along.

A superstructure overhead supports a bristling array of forty production lights trained in their direction.

Final show prep is executed in intense bursts.

They scribble notes—she on neatly printed index cards, he in low-slung cursive on sheets of scrap paper—as the floor manager for CNN Newsroom ticks off waypoints from one minute down to ten seconds.

"It's like a mini law school exam every single day for every single assignment," says Robbins, who went to Dartmouth as an undergraduate.

"It's not only case law, it's drilling down into sentencing guidelines.

So much of what we talk about are stories at a state level.

You have to know the facts of the case, the law, and what applies, but also the sentencing possibilities."

The segment lasts only four minutes as the two of them serve and volley core issues of jurisprudence between prompts from anchor Carol Costello.

They manage to build tension as well as explain critical and nuanced legal doctrines that will apply to any proceedings.

The contrast in styles is immediately evident.

Right off the bat, Robbins reacts to a Callan comment with "What?!

It is not beyond her to turn to an anchor and declare, "I'm about to hit him" or "He's just plain wrong."

But the stagecraft doesn't come across as overdone.

Principally because when it's her turn to talk, she offers a point of view that's at once plainspoken and penetrating.

Robbins calls her style "ruthless compassion."

Without question, she brings a little working class frankness to her production value.

"Yeah, I can see the analogy," says Callan.

"But [she brings that along] with an Ivy League degree."

Meanwhile, up against the vocal and vibrant handful that is Robbins, Callan trades punches artfully and with vigor.

He is clear, relentlessly unperturbed, and counters her nimbly, occasionally punctuating points with a sly, all-knowing smile.

It is oil and water, and it is great television.

"Paul is the definition of what we at CNN are going for," says Chris Cuomo, host of CNN's New Day and the youngest son of New York's late three-term governor.

"Sure, he's telegenic and his answers fit well into our format.

But he's got street smarts and book smarts along with the experience of being a prosecutor and a defense attorney in the criminal setting, plus he understands civil as well, so he's a home run."

By his own admission, some of Callan's most pivotal preparation for a professional life that now includes jawing on CNN's airwaves came long before he earned his JD.

He offers up his tutelage at Town Taxi and his UK odyssey mostly as a bit of color.

The truth is, he drove a cab to help pay his BC Law tuition, and his hopscotch around British universities was by invitation as a national collegiate debate champion at Seton Hall.

Yet both experiences strongly informed his current skillset.

The former taught him much "about relating to potential jurors," while the latter built a foundation for breakneck prep, fluid improvisation, and deft deconstruction of opposing views.

"It takes a lot of practice to develop those skills," says Callan.

I spent pretty much every weekend of my high school and college career doing public speaking through debate.

Trial lawyers require complementary, though very different skills.

I've had a lot of practice at it through the years."

BC Law classmate Dan Murphy '75, a managing partner at New York's Putney, Twombly, Hall and Hirson, suggests that practice has Callan flirting with perfection these days.

"He's a tremendously talented trial lawyer, but I think he's a great commentator," says Murphy, also a longtime Callan friend.

"You usually learn something and he always has some angle on it that no one else has seen.

He gets his point across, but he's not saying this is the only way to look at it.

That doesn't mean he's not hard-hitting.

He comes across as an earnest, sincere lawyer, and it works.

Murphy, like Callan, arrived at the Brooklyn DA's office in 1975 and both went uncompensated throughout the Big Apple's worst financial crisis in history.

Despite that inauspicious start, the considerable breadth of Callan's lengthy CV serves him well when he has to go toe-to-toe with Robbins.

"I love the way he puts together his arguments," says CNN legal analyst Joey Jackson, an attorney at Koehler and Isaacs in Manhattan.

"He has a way of countering your point by getting his own point out there without demeaning the person he's with.

He's got that air and that aura of invincibility about him.

Mel is a tightrope walk, but nobody walks the tightrope better.

Paul's got a completely different style from Mel, but a very effective way about how he approaches things.

It's not hard to recognize the heights Paul and Mel have reached, and it's because of their ability."

Cuomo agrees that though Callan and Robbins often plug into the issues with an AC/DC flow, the meeting of their minds results in a high-voltage, cross-section in terms of the viewer experience.

"When you compare Paul to Mel, as soon as the picture goes up on the screen, the guy's at an immediate disadvantage—after all, it is a visual medium," quips Cuomo.

"But Paul isn't just some guy who's well-spoken, succinct, and provocative.

There's genius that is fundamental to his daily existence for our purposes on television.

"Mel gives you all of those things we're looking for, but also some palette of humanity," he continues.

"Because it's not just about the facts, it's about the feel.

She gets the difference between someone having the right to do something and something being right to do.

I think it's easy to watch them and be in a state of wonder about how they are both so accurate and insightful, and they do it in a manner on TV that is not easy."

Cuomo's callout speaks to how seamlessly the duo juggles the law and an anchor-desk chaperone while still managing to generate entertainment value.

Some of their punchiest exchanges are pure magic, and transcripts prove that anchor Banfield's show often produces prime examples.

This was the case after a Ringling Brothers circus accident last year in which nine acrobats suspended by their hair were injured after plunging to the ground when equipment malfunctioned.

Banfield: OK, Mel, I decide to hang from my hair thirty-feet up and spin around … don't I assume some of the responsibility when I do death-defying stuff and then give up my right

What happened [was] an equipment failure … maybe a sprained ankle, maybe a broken wrist you'd presume might happen in this line of work, and there's workers' comp to take care of that.

[But] if they can prove something wrong with the equipment or the way it was assembled—maybe there was a union involved [at the venue]—they might have a tort action.

[But] their job is very, very dangerous.

Robbins: But it's not to fall from the sky because of the equipment breaking.

If [the job is] hanging from your hair, it's still your job, so it's workers' comp.

But if there was an equipment failure … that's a products' liability case … they can sue the equipment manufacturer.

And you make more money in those lawsuits than you get in workers' compensation benefits.

Robbins: I'd like to see Paul try to do that.

Callan: That's very cruel of you to say.

Robbins: He can take it … he's smarter than me, so I got to hit below the belt.

What turns you on creatively, spiritually, or emotionally: Helping people reach their potential.

The sound you love most: The sound of my kids coming up the stairs when they enter the house.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt: Best-selling author or a filmmaker.

What profession would you not like to do: A corrections officer.

I'd hate to be with folks who are locked in a prison all day.

Three children, ages ten, fourteen, and sixteen.*

Within an hour of stepping off the Newsroom set, Callan and Robbins are breakfasting in the bureau's tenth-floor cafeteria, which boasts a panoramic view above Manhattan.

Even more breathtaking than the sweep of scenery is the fact that during their brief journey between floors, the two of them greet more than a dozen fellow employees—from security guards to camera operators to cooks—by their first name.

Robbins, who lives in a leafy suburb west of Boston, casually explains the mind-blowing phenomenon.

"When I was given the opportunity to join CNN, I realized I could either be that chick up in Boston that you call for legal stuff, or I could figure out a way to really feel connected to the organization," she recalls.

"So I made a decision … to learn the names of everybody in the building.

From the moment you walk in on 58th Street, all the way up.

One day, Paul walks in with me and sees this and decides he has to learn all the names too.

Now, it's like a competition to see who knows more names.

By taking an interest in other people, we've become known inside the organization.

It's the smallest things in life that make the biggest difference."

Over eggs, Callan and Robbins talk shop.

They've already huddled industriously with an executive producer regarding their scheduled noon appearance on CNN's Legal View, where they will discuss jury deliberations in the Hernandez trial.

Robbins is hoping a verdict will be reached so she can cancel her 3 p.m. Amtrak home and remain available for the network's resulting round-the-clock coverage.

There is a profound efficacy to their dialogue.

So much so, they have enough margin to whistle while they work.

"This job is stimulating, exhilarating, collaborative, constantly changing, and very fast-paced," says Callan, a native of Worcester who set down permanent roots in New York after arriving in 1975.

"All of the meaty stuff happens off-set," adds Robbins.

"We'll spend an hour or two talking about cases, sharing research back and forth, maybe making a call or two to a buddy who specializes in a certain area of law.

Then we rush from makeup and hair to the set, and we're on for just three minutes."

Given their on-air fireworks that routinely resemble the Yankees-Red Sox animus, the words "collaborative" and "sharing" seem a tad tough to swallow.

"It's not about us as individuals," insists Robbins as Callan nods approvingly.

"It's about the product being incredible.

Because we're such good friends and really respect each other and understand each other's strengths, even though I might vehemently disagree with Paul's interpretation, I'm still interested in what he has to say.

I might even steal some of it for the next segment.

Because he does change my mind and I know I do the same."

Finding balance, then, is both the art and the craft of their task.

"When you argue everything to the extreme and there's never any concession, you lose credibility," says Robbins.

It's not to sit there and say, 'You're right, Paul.

The job is to tease out the nuances of the topic and argue the law so that people are both informed and entertained."

Callan, scrolling on his phone, suddenly redirects the flow.

He's received a plea via email to accept an emergent criminal negligence case from an incident in the city the night before.

"Mel is my career consultant," Callan muses.

A producer is texting her for their count-by-count predictions on the Hernandez verdict so an onscreen graphic can be constructed.

Callan wants to warm up for this component of their discussion, but Robbins shuts it down, "Let's not get too deep into this right now, let's save it for the air."

"Like we wouldn't argue on the air if we didn't have [the counts] to talk about."

Incongruously enough, their interpersonal ease is clearly the wellspring of their success as a feisty professional tandem.

Their authenticity when cameras are rolling is little more than an extension of their affinity off screen.

Robbins' love of pre-cue levity is as much a coping mechanism as it is a character trait.

As a young lawyer, she was plagued by neck rashes caused by pre-trial anxiety.

The affliction was pronounced enough for her to conceal it with a scarf or turtleneck, even in summer.

"I would get these big, blotchy neck rashes and I was so scared the jury would think that it meant I was worried my client was guilty," she recalls.

"I finally realized I might as well just call out the elephant in the room.

Over time, I would stand before a jury during voir dire and say, 'I don't know why, but I tend to get red as I talk and my chest gets all hivey, and it doesn't mean this dude's guilty.'

And because I stopped focusing on the rashes, they went away."

During the Hernandez trial segment, Callan and Robbins predict a hung jury on the two murder counts and the weapons charge (they were both off the mark).

Callan tends to take such missteps harder than she, but the merit of their misguided message is most assuredly the medium.

He gets from A to B with a sniper's precision, while Robbins shoots from the hip.

Interestingly, her husband predicted she'd last three months before uttering something irrevocable on live TV.

"I remember the first time I appeared on air with Paul and I was like, 'This guy is a smooth operator,'" says CNN's Jackson.

"He's conversant with the law, he brings the perspective of his experience and knows how [an issue] relates to things he's done in the past.

Meanwhile, Mel is absolutely not going to run away from the controversy in what she's talking about, but she's going to add just enough flavor of diplomacy to what she says to get her point out in a very straightforward way that's no-nonsense, but not offensive.

It's like, 'Damn man, how's she's doing this?'"

The net for Time Warner is a product that competitors might try to imitate, but will struggle to duplicate.

"I trust and depend on them inherently for their insight, their wisdom, and their research acumen," says CNN's Banfield.

"We change topics at lightning speed, sometimes when we're live on the air.

Relying on someone's foundation in that setting is a sticky wicket, but when Paul and Mel are on the air, we're solid.

They are bright, articulate, clever, funny and terrific broadcasters and that is a hard combo to find.

There are plenty of smart lawyers out there in the sea.

To find one who is engaging, magnanimous, fun, and easy to work is a very tough get."

# Ryan Adams transforms Taylor Swift's 1989 into a melancholy masterpiece

Ryan Adams goes wherever his muse directs him, which explains why he's just as likely to release a hardcore EP as he is an alt-country masterpiece.

But when news broke that he had decided to put his own spin on Taylor Swift's 1989 (and was interpreting it in the style of the Smiths, no less), it was one of his more random, if not entirely unexpected, gestures.

After all, Adams once made a blues version of the Strokes' 2001 debut, Is This It, which never saw the light of day, and he's decidedly un-snobbish about his musical likes.

As it turns out, Adams was indeed serious about treating his version of 1989 with complete respect and reverence.

The finished product is decidedly free of irony or shtick, and, perhaps more important for a covers album, transforms the source material.

Swift's 1989 felt upbeat and empowering, though its lyrics touched on damaging breakups, irresistible bad decisions, and romantic regrets, because she never gave up hope that things might work out in her favor.

Adams' interpretation of 1989 is a case of seeing the glass half empty: He operates under the assumption that things are irrevocably damaged, and responds accordingly.

And so the "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want"-esque acoustic posturing of "Out Of The Woods" exacerbates the song's uncertainty about a relationship's status; the reverb-slathered, minor-key jangle of "All You Had To Do Was Stay" is contorted by anguish, not desperation; and the conspiratorial acoustic riffs, string shivers, and falsetto-kissed vocal delivery of "Blank Space" are a eulogy to optimism.

Even the relentless pep talk "Shake It Off" is an unconvincing attempt at breaking out of personal doldrums.

This approach to 1989 works so well in part because Adams tends to be at his best when he's wallowing in heartbreak.

But it's also successful because he doesn't overstate this interpersonal drama.

The 1989 arrangements (and the moody contributions of La Sera guitarist Tod Wisenbaker, who collaborated with Adams on the album) are sparse and restrained, with plenty of space for melancholy to linger and resonate.

Watercolor-hued strings and well-placed percussion thumps creep into the acoustic-ruffled "How You Get The Girl"; "Bad Blood" is the quintessential Adams-style alt-country shuffle; and "This Love" becomes a chilling piano ballad.

The much-ballyhooed Smiths influence is also rather seamless, especially on the sighing rainy day riffs on "Wildest Dreams" and dreampop jam "I Wish You Would."

(The flamenco guitar splashes and rattlesnake percussion on "I Know Places," however, firmly resemble modern-day solo Morrissey.)

Yet 1989 is more than just a Moz homage.

As with 2014's Ryan Adams, there's also a strong Springsteen vibe: "Shake It Off" nicks the tick-tock drumming and solemn midnight ambience of "I'm On Fire," while Adams' clenched-teeth vocal delivery and salt-of-the-earth strums on "Welcome To New York" are classic Boss signifiers.

And another highlight, the raucous "Style," is a yearning, '80s college rock fever dream with snarling punk stabs à la Sonic Youth.

In a sense, Adams has created the soundtrack to a fictional '80s teen movie.

Still, what his version of 1989 does best is illustrate the strength of the source material.

With the radio-ready gloss stripped away, these songs compare to the best moments in Swift's back catalog.

For fans, this isn't a new revelation: Despite the sleeker production, Taylor's 1989 themes didn't stray that far from her roots, just reflected the fact that she's matured.

Adams will receive a reputation boost and a boatload of new Twitter followers thanks to the support of loyal Swifties, which is completely deserved.

But his 1989 is also a stark reminder that Swift's songwriting continues to deserve respect and kudos.

Swift first performed "Style" live as part of the ""1989" Secret Session", which took place on the rooftop of the Empire State Building and was broadcast live by Yahoo! and iHeartRadio on October 27, 2014. On December 2, she performed the song as well as "Blank Space" at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2014 in London. "Style" was included on the set list for Swift's headlining 2015 world tour in support of "1989". Swift also included the song on the set list for her 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour, where she performed "Style" as part of a medley with "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me". On April 23, 2019, Swift performed an acoustic version of the song at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts during the "Time" 100 Gala, where she was honored as one of the "100 most influential people" of the year.
 Rock singer Ryan Adams covered "Style" on his 2015 track-by-track cover album of Swift's "1989". Adams changed the original James Dean-referenced lyric to "You've got that '"Daydream Nation"' look in your eye", a tribute to 1980s rock band Sonic Youth. He also incorporated rock-oriented styles, which were compared to works by Irish rock band U2 and its lead singer Bono.

# MyHeritage launches DNA testing service to help you uncover your family's history

The popular online genealogy service MyHeritage today announced the launch of its MyHeritage DNA service for helping its users uncover more about their family's history and ethnicity.

Users who take the test, which currently costs $79 (plus shipping), will get a detailed ethnicity report that will map their families' ethnic and geographic origins and, if available, the report will also show potential DNA matches for finding relatives on the service as well.

As MyHeritage CEO and founder Gilad Japhet told me, he believes that DNA testing is the future of family history.

The test itself, he said, is based on a simple cheek scrape test that shouldn't take more than a minute or two.

Getting results takes a bit longer, though.

The company's U.S.-based lab takes about three to four weeks to return results to the users.

For now, the company's reports include 25 ethnicities, but the plan is to quickly grow this number to more than 100 ethnicities (and as MyHeritage gathers more data, it will also update older DNA reports with this new and more detailed information).

To seed its DNA database, MyHeritage is running what it calls the "Founder Population project."

As part of this, it has sent out 5,000 free DNA kits to existing members around the world.

With its massive database of 2.1 billion profiles from 85 million registered users and 7 billion historical records, MyHeritage already has a lot of the data that will allow it to make this new DNA information even more valuable.

Thanks to this mix of data, Japhet hopes that these tests will soon not just be able to tell you that you are heritage is part Greek and part Italian, but also what exact island in Greece your family may have lived on in the past.

"Do you enjoy cold nights and snowy days and nobody understood why?," Japhet said.

"We found you have 15% Finnish roots — maybe that explains it!

People always want to learn more about themselves and DNA is awesome for that."

MyHeritage expects that its DNA study will be able to provide a higher resolution than its competitors' tests (think Ancestry and 23andMe), but for users who have already taken a competing test, the company will allow them to import their data into MyHeritage's database and get a free report.

As Japhet stressed, MyHeritage sees itself as a tech company.

MyHeritage has raised a combined $49 million in venture capital so far and Japhet tells me that the company is currently seeing revenues in the range of $50 to $100 million per year.

As Japhet told me, the company is able to offer its DNA kit at a lower price than its competitors because it expects to be able to convert some customers to paying MyHeritage users over time — and with a database of millions of existing users, it already has a massive number of potential customers for its DNA tests, too, so it won't need to invest into a lot of marketing either.

"DNA is attractive to our current users who want to learn more about their family history," he said.

"But it's also appealing to a whole new demographic: younger people who are curious about what they can learn from their DNA.

It gives them effortless answers about their ethnicity and family history.

We think it will attract new customers to family history in large numbers.

The synergy between DNA and our existing business is substantial giving us upsell capabilities and an edge over many competitors."

In fall 2001, GeneTree sold its assets to Salt Lake City-based Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF) which originated in 1999.
While in operation, SMGF provided free Y-Chromosome and mitochondrial DNA tests to thousands.
Later, GeneTree returned to genetic testing for genealogy in conjunction with the Sorenson parent company and eventually was part of the assets acquired in the Ancestry.com buyout of SMGF in 2012.
 In 2000, Family Tree DNA, founded by Bennett Greenspan and Max Blankfeld, was the first company dedicated to direct-to-consumer testing for genealogy research. They initially offered eleven marker Y-Chromosome STR tests and HVR1 mitochondrial DNA tests. They originally tested in partnership with the University of Arizona.

 In 2007, 23andMe was the first company to offer a saliva-based direct-to-consumer genetic testing. It was also the first to implement using autosomal DNA for ancestry testing, which all other major companies now use.

# Knowledge and nonsense – in the studio with Guardian Football Weekly

Recording unscripted with a pool of stellar contributors means the hit podcast is free to work the angles and never takes itself too seriously, says its host

On Monday and Thursday mornings, at around 11 o'clock, I wander into an airless room with four microphones.

We all say hello, and then we talk about football for about an hour or so.

Some smart people edit out all the mistakes, and stick the results up on iTunes that afternoon.

And that is how we make the Guardian Football Weekly.

It isn't complicated, it isn't scripted, and that's probably why it works.

If you have never listened to Football Weekly before, the show ranges from proper analysis of what has happened on the pitch in the UK and around Europe, to commentary about serious issues off it, balanced with some complete nonsense.

I took over as presenter of the podcast – produced twice a week, despite the name – from James Richardson at the start of this football season.

I would often cover for him when he was hosting World's Strongest Man or on holiday, so I knew my way around.

In the past couple of weeks, we've covered all the football and the weekly crisis merry-go-round – Chelsea to Arsenal to Liverpool so far, with Crystal Palace a constant.

We've also discussed the racism allegations surrounding the England women's football team, and the latest Fifa controversy.

(Well, the latest at the point of writing; there will be another one tomorrow.)

But we've also discussed a Spaniard missing a game because of an infected spot and a Scottish player drinking too much and falling in a river on his birthday.

Fortunately there are producers there to keep me focused, at least part of the time.

Every week about half a million people listen to Football Weekly, which the Guardian has been making for 11 years.

There are buckets of football podcasts around, so the competition is pretty tough.

Where we're lucky is that the Guardian has an amazing set of sports writers, most of whom are keen to come on the pod and are as good speaking out loud as they are on the page.

Those questions begin in the form of a document shared by our producer, Jonathan Fisher.

This will be on a Friday for the Monday Football Weekly pod, or a Tuesday for Thursday's edition.

We will just dip into it whenever something happens and start adding in notes.

If I'm not doing anything on a Saturday night, for example, I can stick a load of stuff in there after the games have happened.

The night before we record, I'll write an intro.

By then we will know which of the contributors are on, and which games they've been to, so we can think about what to ask whom.

But we don't really want to script too much: it's better for me, and the listeners, if they just chat away and I sit there listening.

I also work for Sky Sports, doing a predictions show with Paul Merson, and present a radio show on TalkSport.

I like all of them to be as unscripted as possible.

That's rarer in television, and it's of course riskier, but it's also way more fun – you get more highs and lows than something that has been scripted within an inch of its life.

Fortunately there are always people on Twitter ready to let you know when you have hit a low point.

On a day we're recording, I arrive at the office around 9.30am.

Jason Phipps, the Guardian's head of audio, will hopefully have made a cafetiere.

Jonathan will be complaining about his sore foot.

And I'll proceed to be a bit too noisy for other staff working around me.

I like to try to make Jonathan do all the stories from Europe.

It's a shortcoming; for a decade now, I've been immersed in the Premier League for work and in the lower leagues and amateur football as a fan and as a player – so I haven't spent a lot of time watching La Liga and Serie A.

I try to keep across it – it is my job now, after all – but there is a lot of football to watch, and you can't know everything.

I'm lucky that Football Weekly contributors such as Paolo Bandini (on Italy) and Philippe Auclair (on France) are so ridiculously knowledgeable.

When it comes to the panel, we try to find a balance between continuity for the listener, and introducing them to lots of different points of view.

We have a lot of regular contributors who have featured on the show for years: Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson, Barney Ronay, Paul MacInnes, Jacob Steinberg, Amy Lawrence, Sid Lowe – apologies to those I've missed.

But we're also trying to bring in other Guardian sports writers who have been less of a fixture on the show – it has been great to bring Paul Doyle back into the fold, for example.

We're also looking to bring some interesting current and ex professionals on to the panel, along with some voices from outside the Guardian, but I'm very conscious that Football Weekly changing its presenter is already a massive deal for the show, so we're not trying to rush through any other change.

Jonathan Wilson is late because he has been to the gym.

The panel will have been sent a loose running order so they know what to expect, but not a script.

We all have a glass of water and maybe a coffee in front of us, everyone says what they have had for breakfast to make sure their microphone is working, and then we start recording.

We might stop occasionally just to ring Sid up, and people can stop mid-sentence if they like and re-record a bit, but I would rather just let it flow.

When we're recording, I try to do the show "as live" – ie, if we need to go back and edit it for clarity, we can, but I tend not to stop and start it too much, or re-do segments.

It's an approach that I like because it means people are really concentrating and focused.

The knowledge that we can edit, however, means I'm happier to let conversations run on a bit in case we go off on a brilliant tangent, safe in the knowledge that it can be cut.

When I got a call from the Guardian asking me to host Football Weekly and Football Weekly Extra, as a Guardian reader and someone who shares a lot of the Guardian's principles – and as someone who does the G2 crossword every morning – I genuinely felt honoured.

It doesn't take football too seriously – which is a relief, as so many places do.

And I feel the listeners want the balance of knowledge and analysis with news of Sid's dog, whether Philippe will learn to drive, how Jonathan's new orthopaedic shoes are, or just Barry's life in general.

I'm just waiting for the right moment to tell everyone about the time I borrowed Trevor Nelson's microwave …

Mars also performed a shortened version of the song as part of his Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show, with a reference to The Isley Brothers' "Shout" and the James Brown-inspired choreography.

# Did the Super Bowl make a superstar out of Bruno Mars?

The Super Bowl halftime show could do wonders for Bruno Mars' record and ticket sales.

Host Carly Mallenbaum talks about the performer on BackStage.

## His records are more famous than he is, but that may have all changed Sunday night.

Bruno Mars' Super Bowl performance could elevate the hitmaker.(Photo: USA TODAY Sports Images)

Bruno Mars teamed with Red Hot Chili Peppers for a high-energy 'Give It Away'He finished with a flourish of fireworks and 'Just the Way You Are'The performance spurred 2.2 million tweets before it was over

The Super Bowl has made cultural icons out of quarterbacks, running backs and Budweiser frogs.

Why shouldn't it do the same for halftime headliner Bruno Mars?

Mars wasn't the biggest name that the biggest game could have booked.

Compared to the superstars who have performed for the past several years — Beyoncé, Madonna, the Black Eyed Peas, The Who, Bruce Springsteen — he's a relative unknown.

But the Super Bowl has a way of elevating those who step up their game in the spotlight.

And Mars, the Hawaii-born pop/R&B singer whose style draws on Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and a wide range of '60s and '70s soul, has made a career out of doing just that.

The fireworks over MetLife Stadium were secondary to Mars' incendiary, 2.2 million tweet-generating set, which was packed with hits and steeped in history, starting with a blackout that recalled last year's Super Bowl in New Orleans.

Dressed in a gold lamé jacket and black tuxedo pants, Mars established his musician credentials quickly, starting his set behind the drum kit before launching into a 12-minute medley that launched with Locked Out of Heaven then segued seamlessly into Treasure and Runaway Baby.

ALSO: History suggests Bruno Mars can expect nice sales spike

Mars' eight-piece band is modeled after the R&B revue style of James Brown and the old Motown Records tour, a setup perfectly suited for a halftime show that requires musicians to shift suddenly in a punched-up medley of shortened songs.

Mars paid tribute to the bands of that era, inserting a few bars of the Isley Brothers' Shout! into Runaway Baby before breaking into a dance routine borrowed directly from Brown, then introducing the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Give It Away.

He even added a patriotic touch at the end, with members of the military dedicating Just the Way You Are to family members and loved ones.

Many Super Bowl viewers may not have made the connection between Mars' image and his music before Sunday night, but for anyone who has turned on a radio in the past four years, he's been inescapable.

In an era where pop-music celebrities often are best-known for their outrageous style and outsized personalities, Mars is a musician's' musician, a bandleader and a true showman, the kind of entertainer with an appeal that can cross generations.

Mars may not have been the biggest entertainer the Super Bowl has booked, but he came in with something to prove.

He probably left with his Moonshine Jungle world tour, which goes on sale Monday, being a hotter ticket than this year's game.

Claire Suddath of "Time" dubbed it as "retro Motown" and enjoyable. She found the James Brown-inspired choreography "spot-on". However, Suddath considered the singer to be "too perfect". She rated Mars' performance a B+. MTV's Jocelyn Vena thought the performance was energetic and "triumphant". Jodi Jill opined that Mars' show manifested energy, which created the expectation that it would not ever end. She also considered it one of the best performances in the beginning of the show. Jill concluded that Mars did not just want people to watch the performance but also experience it.
 At the 2012 Met Gala, Mars performed "Runaway Baby", wearing Prada,  with the James Brown breakdown, followed by a medley of covers, which included "Ni**as in Paris", "Roxanne" and "Rock the Boat".

While the opposition did reportedly use nonviolent means to continue their protests against the regime in 1988 and 1989, I was unable to locate sources that detailed when they specifically occurred during that time period.

Consequently, I left the methods fields for the 2nd to 5th segments blank - but this does not mean that the opposition was idle during this period, though their activities were severely limited by intense repression.

I've put that the specific methods that I found that occurred sometime in 1988 or 1989 under the Additional methods (Timing Unknown) section.

While the opposition's leaders emphasized the use of nonviolence, there were some sporadic incidents of violence that occurred.

During the 54-hour general strike on 23 July, some protesters threw stones at police while attacking the headquarters of Ershad's political party, Jatiyo, in Dhaka's main business district.

Throughout the entire campaign, Ershad used repressive action to try and shut down action against his regime.

In November 1987 and November 1990, Ershad declared a state of emergency and relied on martial law to justify his actions in arresting top leaders of opposition groups, conducting mass arrests of protesters who continued to participate in strikes/demonstrations, having police fire on protesters, and making any anti-Ershad regime action punishable by the threat of imprisonment.

Survival: 1 point out of 1 points Growth: 3 points out of 3 points Total points: 10 out of 10 points

After becoming independent from Pakistan in 1971, Bangladesh had a long history of military rule.

Its first two leaders, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Ziaur Rahman were both assassinated in military coups and their regimes were followed by military dictatorships.

The two main Bangladeshi political parties, the Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh National Party (BNP) were formed by these two leaders and later led by their daughter and widow respectively – Hasina Wajed and Khaleda Zia.

In 1982, General Hussain Muhammed Ershad seized power in Bangladesh during a bloodless coup.

Upon taking power, Ershad became the Chief Martial Law Administrator (CMLA), suspended the 1972 constitution, and banned all political parties.

However, in 1983, he assumed the presidency and by January 1986, he had restored full political activity in which his own party, the Jatiya (People's) Party took a prominent part.

While Ershad was proclaimed the winner in a presidential election held in October 1986 under martial law, Bangladesh's opposition parties challenged the legitimacy of Ershad's regime.

Opposition parties like the AL had participated in the 1986 parliamentary elections and believed they had won, but the vote count was suspended for several days before eventually giving Ershad's Jatiya Party a majority in Parliament.

Despite the refusal of opposition parties to recognize the legitimacy of the Ershad regime, Ershad refused to step down.

Starting in 1987, opposition groups organized mass demonstrations to demand Ershad's removal from the presidency.

Opposition groups became mobilized after Ershad's introduction of the controversial District Council Bill in parliament that would allow military officers to serve on local district councils.

Consequently, in June 1987, opposition parties formed an alliance to implement a half-day general strike in Dhaka on 23 June 1987.

Opposition parties organized and executed another half-day general strike in Dhaka the following week on 30 June that paralyzed most of Bangladesh's major cities and towns.

However, despite these efforts, Ershad's Jatiyo Party majority in Parliament went on to pass the District Council Bill on 12 July 1987.

In response, opposition groups struck and publically demonstrated two days after the bill's passage, causing Ershad to send the bill back to Parliament to be reconsidered.

Opposition groups intensified street demonstrations and became more closely unified, deciding to work together to call for Ershad's immediate resignation and new elections under a caretaker government.

On 23 July 1987, opposition groups planned mass public demonstrations in Dhaka, Chittagong, and Khulna.

Following Ershad's orders, police fired on participating protesters, resulting in civilian casualties, and police arrested as many as 500 protesters across the country.

On the morning of 24 July, mourners of protesters who had died marched through the streets of Dhaka to the Baitul Mukurram Mosque.

While mourning marches in Bangladesh are usually held in silence, many in the procession shouted, "Down with President Ershad!" and "The killers shall be punished!"

On the same day, the Workers-Employees United Council began a 54-hour general strike in Dhaka calling for Ershad's resignation – the longest general strike in Bangladesh's history.

Thousands participated, and while the leadership had emphasized the nonviolent nature of the strike, the action was marred by violence as clashes occurred between protesters and police when police fired on stone-throwing mobs that attacked the headquarters of Jatiyo in Dhaka's central business district.

Police also fired rounds of tear gas shells to disperse crowds of protesters.

By the fall of 1987, opposition groups had continued to coordinate efforts to put more pressure on the Ershad regime.

On 28 October, Hasina and Khaleda Zia met – signaling a new phase of cooperation between the two leading opposition parties, the AL and BNP.

Opposition groups planned a series of events that would begin 10 November, naming the action the "Siege of Dhaka".

Groups planned to bring thousands of their supporters to the streets to paralyze the capital city and heighten confrontation against Ershad.

However, Ershad took action to defuse the situation and forestall the opposition's plan to start a 72-hour strike on 29 November by declaring a state of emergency on 27 November 1987.

Under the state of emergency, Ershad arrested Hasina, Khaleda Zia, and other main opposition leaders while sending thousands of police forces into Bangladesh's main urban areas to clamp down on protesters.

In Dhaka, Ershad imposed a 30-hour curfew at midnight on 27 November and sent helmeted riot police and paramilitary forces to surround the capital.

Additionally, Ershad ordered the suspension of all fundamental rights of Bangladeshi citizens, barred courts from trying any cases related to the violation of citizens' rights, banned publication of any news or commentary against the government.

Anyone who violated the orders under the state of emergency could be jailed up to three years and fined.

Ershad publicly rejected the opposition's call for his resignation, stating his intention to serve the remaining years of the term he won in the 1986 elections.

At this point, while civil disobedience had rattled the Ershad regime, it had not been enough to bring the regime down.

While what remained of the opposition attempted to regroup and tried to organize in 1988 and 1989, they faced continuous, intense repression by the Ershad regime and were plagued by internal divisions.

However, the events of the fall of 1990 marked a turning point for the opposition.

Opposition groups had reorganized and were closely unified in their efforts to achieve the common goal of bringing the Ershad regime down.

Additionally, opposition groups now consisted of diverse segments of the Bangladeshi population including not only workers, but also doctors, lawyers, and intellectuals.

Opposition groups organized a small number of public demonstrations on 10 October 1990.

In response, on 17 October the government closed universities and main schools but this only served to galvanize university students as one of the driving force of protest against the regime and the students put pressure on the traditionally divided opposition parties to continue maintaining a united front against Ershad.

After weeks of strikes and public demonstrations that paralyzed Dhaka and other major urban areas of Bangladesh, Ershad declared another state of emergency on 28 November 1990.

Ershad suspended consideration of all civil rights and imposed an indefinite curfew on Dhaka.

On 30 November, police officers fired on protesters who continued to participate in public demonstrations in Dhaka.

However, strikes and public demonstrations continued despite the imposition of martial law under the state of emergency.

On 3 December 1990, President Ershad publically stated his willingness to make concessions with the opposition as he was rapidly losing control of Dhaka and other major cities in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh's educated classes had began to play a key role in the anti-Ershad movement as teachers, journalists, and doctors went on strike – further paralyzing activity in Bangladesh.

On 4 December the opposition rejected Ershad's proposal.

100,000 people marched in the streets of Dhaka to demand the President's immediate resignation.

In a sign of Ershad's weakening base of support, the Bangladeshi police began to refuse to comply with Ershad's order to fire on demonstrators.

Ershad agreed to step down on 4 December.

After Ershad was removed from power, a three-month neutral transitional government headed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Shahabuddin Ahmed, declared a state of emergency, restored civil liberties, and was responsible for organizing elections on 27 February 1991.

The ensuing 1991 election was the first democratic election ever held in the country, and while 73 parties participated, the AL and BNP dominated – marking the beginning of a persistent two-party system in Bangladesh.

The elections ultimately resulted in a BNP government, and Khaleda Zia was sworn in as Bangladesh's prime minister.

However, since elections were held in 1991, political contests between the AL and BNP have been mainly fueled by personal rivalry between the parties' leaders instead of being issue-oriented.

Bangladesh's winner-take-all politics have now produced a recurring pattern where the ruling party refuses a meaningful role for the opposition, the opposition walks out, and society is paralyzed by strikes and boycotts.

To date, Bangladesh's electoral system has been unable to resolve the tensions produced by this constant rivalry.

Finland – For the last 80 years pregnant women are given a gift through Finland government, 95% of the newborns take their first sleep in it.

The Maternity Box is given to women in the fourth month of their pregnancy.

The Finish Government started the scheme for the poor in 1938

After 4 months of pregnancy, this kit is given to the pregnancy women

Helsinki Finland's government is offering special box gifts to pregnant women for 80 years.

This box contains accessories, clothes, sheets, and toys for newborn needs.

This box is given to both rich and poor pregnant woman.

It is like a starter kit for the upbringing of children.

According to a survey, about 95% of newborns in Finland take their first sleep in this box.

#### This tradition comes from the equation of equality

First of all, the government started distributing this Maternity Box to low-income families in 1938.

Since 1949, women of every class started giving this box.

In fact, the government believes that due to this there is a sense of equality among the people.

Whether the child is from any background, he takes his first sleep in the box of this cardboard.

The government gives the mother the option to take the box or 140 Euro cash instead.

This Maternity Box is given to pregnant women completed four months.

For this, everyone has to go to the municipal clinic.

Finland counted among poor countries around 1930.

The infant mortality rate was also 65. I.e. 65 deaths in thousands of children born.

But, after a few decades of government's Maternity Box scheme, things have improved considerably.

After 1980, the infant mortality rate in Finland is below 10.

#### The starter kit contains all the things the child needs

The box contains mattress cover, undersheet, blanket, sleeping bag, snowsuits, hats, towels, nail cutters, hairbrushes, toothbrushes, thermometers, nappies, and footwear .

Children play a picture book and some other toys to play.

# Meghan Markle, Prince Harry snub 'most beautiful royal' by not inviting her to royal wedding

THE "most beautiful" member of the Royal Family — Prince Harry's cousin, Lady Amelia Windsor — has failed to score an invite to his wedding.

PRINCE Harry has snubbed his cousin Lady Amelia Windsor — dubbed the world's hottest royal — by not inviting her to his wedding.

Top fashion model Amelia, 22, is 37th in line to the throne and walks the runway for Dolce and Gabbana, reports The Sun .

But the Edinburgh student and her older sister Marina, 25, have failed to bag an invitation to the wedding of the year.

A post shared by Mel Windsor (@amelwindsor) on Apr 25, 2018 at 8:36am PDT

A friend said: "They were a little surprised not to be invited as they were looking forward to going.

"Amelia is creating quite a name for herself with her modelling and Instagram posts.

"Perhaps Harry just wanted to keep the family invited to a small number or maybe he didn't want anyone upstaging the bride."

Lady Amelia and Lady Marina are William and Harry's third cousins — granddaughters of the Duke of Kent who is the Queen's cousin.

She was relatively unknown before she appeared on the front cover of Tatler magazine in 2016, who called her the "most beautiful royal".

# Who Is Lady Amelia Windsor? Meet Prince Harry and Prince William's Cool Younger Cousin

For starters, she's a model and she's on Instagram.

While the world continues to obsess over Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, other cool royals are stepping into the spotlight in their own right, like Lady Amelia Windsor.

She's Prince Harry and Prince William's 22-year-old cousin, and she's arguably the coolest member of the clan.

Here's what you need to know about the royal family's resident It Girl.

### She's Prince Harry and Prince William's third cousin.

Her grandfather, the Duke of Kent, is first cousins with Queen Elizabeth II.

Her parents are George Windsor, the Earl of St Andrews, and Dr. Sylvana Tomaselli (her royal title is Sylvana Palma Windsor, Countess of St Andrews), who is a historian at the University of Cambridge.

Lady Amelia—who's 37th in line for the throne—has two siblings, Edward, Lord Downpatrick, 29, and Lady Marina, 25.

### She reportedly wasn't invited to the royal wedding.

The 22-year-old and her siblings didn't get invites to the ceremony or the reception, according to The Sun.

"They were a little surprised not to be invited as they were looking forward to going," a friend of the young royal told the paper.

"Amelia is creating quite a name for herself with her modeling and Instagram posts," the source added.

Lady Amelia has previously kept tight-lipped about her attendance at the royal wedding.

When asked by The Telegraph if she'd be present, she replied, "I can be quite last minute because I'm all over the place.

Sometimes you can be thinking 'Oh my gosh, what am I wearing?' on your way there.

It's a learning experience with each thing you go to."

She wasn't the only royal who was snubbed for the May 19 festivities.

Duchess Sarah Ferguson (AKA Fergie) was reportedly not invited to the second, more private wedding evening reception, even though her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, and children, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, did receive invites.

### She attended Meghan's first Christmas luncheon with the Queen.

The Queen hosts a pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace every year that includes extended members of the royal family, and the event on December 20 marked Meghan Markle's first time attending.

In addition to more senior royals like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Lady Amelia Windsor was also present.

She, like other guests for the fête, was photographed in the car on the way in.

It's unknown whether she and Meghan actually met.

### She was named "the most beautiful member of the royal family."

In 2016, the young royal made the cover of Tatler magazine, a British high-society glossy, which dubbed her "the most beautiful member of the royal family."

Her cameo also marked the first time a royal covered the magazine since 2008, when Princess Eugenie was featured for her 18th birthday, according to the Daily Mail.

Though she had always been a royal, Lady Amelia really was put on the map after this magazine appearance.

Lady Amelia has walked for Dolce & Gabbana two seasons in a row.

She made her runway debut for the Italian brand's Fall 2017 show, and walked again for its Spring 2018 presentation.

She's signed to Storm Models, the agency that discovered Kate Moss.

Other models in the roster include Cindy Crawford, Alek Wek, Toni Garrn, Karolina Kurkova, Behati Prinsloo and Josephine Skriver.

### She's a frequent fashion week attendee—and her style is impeccable.

When Lady Amelia's not on the runway, you can find often find her in the front row in London, Paris, or Milan.

She also flaunts her chic-meets-cool wardrobe for the throngs of street style photographers outside the shows.

Arriving to John Galliano, Dior, and Valentino shows

Her involvement with fashion goes beyond modeling.

She's worked for Azzedine Alaïa and interned for Bulgari during her time abroad, according to The Telegraph.

"I would love to make a contribution to any aspect behind the creative process.

On my year abroad I want to really further my understanding of every aspect of a fashion house: from the making of the fabrics to the production of a catwalk show," she said in an interview last January.

### She's a student at the University of Edinburgh.

According to Tatler, her scholarly activities include reading French and Italian and participating in student productions like The Crucible.

Before starting college, she took a gap year in 2014 to work for a charity called Veterans Aid, which supports veterans with finding homes, overcoming addiction, getting food and other issues.

The 22-year-old, known on Instagram as @amelwindsor, currently boasts over 37,000 followers.

She often posts about her enviable trips abroad, red carpet moments, fashion events and downtime with friends.

Swift announced in February 2014 that she was working again with Max Martin and Shellback, with whom she had collaborated on three songs for "Red".

# Taylor Swift on new album, dating and keeping her clothes on

You want to see Taylor Swift bare it all?

While some pop stars have a "less (clothing) is more" philosophy, 24-year-old Swift has kept her physical assets under wraps.

But that's because, as she tells Glamour magazine in its March issue, she has a different definition of what it means to be naked.

"I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off," the "Red" singer says.

For me 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music.

Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is."

It's true that her style of songwriting has gotten her into some pickles with ex-boyfriends who've presumed the music is about them (*cough* John Mayer *cough*), but Swift has neither regrets nor a desire to do anything differently.

"One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write about what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me," she tells Glamour.

So when it comes to her next album, expect to hear more tracks along the lines of "I Knew You Were Trouble."

"Working on this album has been unbelievable," she says.

"On 'Red' I did three songs with Max Martin and Shellback - 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,' 'I Knew You Were Trouble' and '22.'

I think we'll be doing a lot more than three songs together on the next album."

When she's not working, Swift continues to surround herself with girlfriends - including Hailee Steinfeld, Selena Gomez and The Civil Wars' Joy Williams - and readily admits that her go-to conversation of choice is dating.

"You don't respond to any of his texts or calls until he does something desperate, (like) shows up.

Something that makes it very clear to you that he's interested," she explains.

"I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt.

Until he establishes that this is a game.

The best thing to do is just walk away from the table."

Sounds to us like Swift just found the subject of her next song.

Inspired by pop music of the 1980s and its experimentation with synthesizers, drum pads, and overlapped vocals, Taylor Swift decided to move away from the signature country styles of her previous releases and incorporate a straightforward pop production for her fifth studio album, "1989". The recording process began in mid-2013 concurrently with the start of Swift's headlining world tour in support of her fourth studio album "Red".

This was the sixth Starbucks to open in Walt Disney World, following locations in the Magic Kingdom (Main Street, U.S.A.), Epcot (Future World), Disney's Hollywood Studios (Hollywood Boulevard), and two in Disney Springs (Marketplace and West Side). In addition to these six, there are locations in Disneyland (Main Street, U.S.A.), Disney California Adventure (Buena Vista Street), Anaheim's Downtown Disney, and Disney Village at Disneyland Paris. The Downtown Disney and Disney Springs locations are Starbucks-operated, while the locations inside of the theme parks are Disney-operated.
 Bill Sleeth, Starbucks' vice president of global design, has overseen efforts to make a neighborhood feel for new stores, saying "What you don't want is a customer walking into a store in downtown Seattle, walking into a store in the suburbs of Seattle and then going into a store in San Jose, and seeing the same store." Sleeth said "The customers were saying, 'Everywhere I go, there you are,' and not in a good way. We were pretty ubiquitous." As part of a change in compact direction, Starbucks management wanted to transition from the singular brand worldwide to focusing on locally relevant design for each store.
 Starbucks' first Channel Island store was opened in early 2015, in the primary business area of St Peter Port in Guernsey.

Dr. Robert D. Moser earned his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford University in 1984.

He joined the faculty of The University of Texas at Austin in 2005.

Dr. Moser is a faculty member of the Thermal and Fluid Systems program, and serves as the area coordinator for that program.

Dr. Moser is also a faculty member in the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, where he is serving as Deputy Director.

Finally, Dr. Moser is the Director of the DOE-funded Center for Predictive Engineering and Computational Sciences (PECOS).

Using computer simulations, Moser develops techniques to predict and control the effects of turbulence and other complex flows.

He attempts to improve the turbulence-prediction abilities of large-eddy simulation techniques, which simulate the effects of the most energetic turbulence eddies while modeling the effects of smaller-scale turbulence.

He also uses large-eddy simulation techniques to model external aerodynamic flows.

Computer simulation is also valuable to study biological flows.

Moser is developing computer models of the human cardiovascular system, at both macroscopic and microscopic scales, for use in the development and evaluation of new therapies.

Finally, in numerical simulations of complex physical systems, the uncertainties inherent in such systems need to be characterized, and Moser is working to develop methods to quantify such uncertainties, especially in the context of reentry vehicle simulations.
