This is a collection of pics of young French actor, Jérémie Elkaïm. Although he has yet to achieve mainstream fame, Jérémie has found success as an actor, with experience spanning nearly a decade. Beginning in his teenage years, he has appeared in several French features, most famous of which is "Presque rien" (US title: Come Undone, released 2000), in which he plays an emotionally fagile teenager coming to terms with his newfound homosexuality, and a volatile affair with Cedric (played by the equally beautiful Stephane Rideau). His performances have made him a critcs' darling, and it's only a matter of time before he rockets to superstardom. He currently appears in the TV show "Le Bureau", the French version of "The Office", as resident prankster Paul Delorme. The music in the background is "Wise mans blues" by Perry Blake. A beautiful song for a beautiful boy.

this are the only Bovy filmclips. I once saw a clip from the Opéra-comique on french TV (35 years ago)never saw it again, it was for the premiere of "Le Roi malgré lui" with Louis Arnoult a.o. Born in the suburbs of Ghent she worked herself up to one of the great prima dona's of the interbellum.After an international career in France, Buenos Aires, Rome and the Metropolitan she returned to Belgium and directed the Royal Ghent Opera House from 1947 untill 1955. She was maybe not the best but certainly the most famous belgian soprano of the first half of the 20th century. She had a wonderfull timbre and was one of the early singing actresses. This filmclip comes from the 1943 Abel Gance film "Le capitaine Fracasse", played by another belgian actor Fernand Gravey. She married in 1928 Count Alberto Fisher and she lived in the villa of the former empress Eugénie of France (wife of Napoléon III), she wore the jewels of the former empress on the stage witch always caused a sensation.In 1933 she sang for the first time a Flemish song at a concert in the Kursaal of Ostend (Flemish being forbidden by the French speaking clique who made the rules in those days)

Music is from the outro of 'Unveil', http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=939621&t=802 This is the art work I produced during the week of Sonic Birth (12th-19th February, 2007). Prior to the Sonic Birth I completed 'The Tomatis Effect'. As a result, my state of well being, perception and concentration have become enormously enhanced. Thank you Dr. Alfred Tomatis and to Ella Williams for the frequency shift:) http://www.tomatis.com/English/Articles/Biography.html Tomatis enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Dr. Tomatis laid the groundwork for a new multi-disciplinary science called Audio-Psycho-Phonology (APP). It explains "why the way we listen" has a profound impact on almost all aspects of our being. In the early 50's, Dr. Tomatis also discovered that Listening Problems are the root cause of many learning problems. Dr. Tomatis not only discovered the root cause of learning disabilities, but also developed a highly effective technique to remedy them. Thanks to his revolutionary discoveries, he enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and adults. Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis was born on January 1, 1920 in Nice (France), and passed away on Christmas Day 2001. When he was eleven, he moved to Paris and became an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat specialist). After the second world war he started studying the impact of occupational noise. What he found was outright revolutionary. Some people believe that he should have been awarded the Nobel prize. In recognition of his discoveries, he was named Knight of Public Health of France in 1951. Later on, he was also awarded the gold medal for Scientific Research (Brussels, 1958). Tomatis has written extensively. He has written 14 books, and numerous articles. Unfortunately, only 3 of his books have been translated into English. Attached you can find a partial bibliography. Over the years, Tomatis has treated many famous people. Most of them wish to stay anonymous, but some have spoken out publicly. Among those are Maria Callas, Romy Schneider and Gérard Depardieu. Tomatis also established Tomatis Centers in many countries around the world. There are only eight centers in the USA. You can find their addresses on this website, as well as the addresses of Centers in Canada and Mexico. As an ENT, Tomatis knew that we listen not only with our ears, but also with our bodies. Our bones are particularly good sound conductors. You can test this yourself, by putting a tuning fork on the top of your skull. You can hear the sound as if it came through your ears. If good listening is a prerequisite for good learning, he reasoned, "I better study both modes of listening: with the ears and with the bones". This led him to develop a revolutionary new theory to explain how sounds enter into the inner-ear: The Tomatis Listening Therapy has helped children and adults with auditory processing problems, dyslexia, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, autism, and those with sensory integration and motor-skill difficulties. It has also helped adults fight depression, learn foreign languages faster, develop better communication skills, and improve both creativity and on-the-job performance. Many musicians, singers and actors also found it helpful in fine-tuning their artistic skills and live fuller, richer lives.

The Bratislava Hot Serenaders orchestra belongs among the few strictly-oriented music bands in Slovakia. Its eighteen enthusiastic players have met for thirteen seasons without an interruption and its style remains unchanged. What glue keeps them together during our present turbulent economic period? The glue is their love of traditional music. They devote all their free time to "Hot Jazz" or "Sweet and Dance Music" which arrived in Europe at the end of the Twenties from America. In its homeland, the music has already been recorded, so the orchestra´s boys search for old shellac gramophone records, listen to them till early morning and note-by-note reconstruct the old sweet melodies and imitate their arrangements. After hours of practicing, they dress themselves into traditional costumes, put the brilliantine on their hair and start playing their vintage instruments and singing into a lone microphone. Since 1992 they continue entertaining their unbelievably loyal and constantly growing audience. Their mutual friendship and love of entertainment results in a sort of obsession. They often visit each other and play for themselves at informal occasions. Even then they function at full throttle, playing with the drive and spirit so important to this style of music. The Serenaders have yet another love. It is also music - Slovak music. It was played and recorded in Bratislava and Prague in Thirties and Forties and is focused around one name extremely popular in thatperiod: František Krištof Veselý. The doyen of Slovak pop-singers made famous many melodies which are now adopted by BHS. The Bratislava Hot Serenaders are well-established abroad as well. In 1994 the orchestra won the Sidney d´Or Prix at the Grand Festival of Music of 20´s and 30´s in Saint Raphael, France. They regularly appear in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and other countries. They have recorded four CDs: "Prvé Rendez-Vous (The First Rendez-Vous)" (1997), "Cotton Club Stomp" (2003), "Ja som optimista (I´m An Optimist)" (2001) and "Celý svet sa mračí (The Entire World Is Cloudy)" (2002). Songs on the last two CDs are performed by Milan Lasica, one of the most popular Slovak actors and singers. Both CDs became bestsellers - the first one winning a platinum CD, the second winning a gold CD. Recently, selected songs from both CDs have been recorded for the first Slovak music DVD entitled "Milan Lasica & The Bratislava Hot Serenaders". Their successful cooperation also led to a new musical-styled performance in the Štúdio L&S theatre. In the show "Ja som optimista", the songs and melodies are accompanied by stories and anecdotes from old Bratislava www.serenaders.sk

Claudine Auger (born April 26, 1942 in Paris) was a former Miss France and actress during the 1960s and onwards. Her most famous role was as Bond girl Dominique "Domino" Derval in the James Bond film Thunderball. The role of Domino was originally to be an Italian woman: Dominetta Palazzi. Auger impressed the producers so much that they re-wrote the part to that of a French woman to better suit Auger. Her voice is dubbed by Nikki Van der Zyl in this movie. Auger's Domino is one of the great Bond girls and her work opposite Sean Connery provides some of the most memorable chemistry of the series. THUNDERBALL made her an overnight celebrity but she mostly stayed away from Hollywood and concentrated on European films. Thunderball launched Auger into a successful European movie career, but did little for her otherwise in the United States. Auger was also the first runner-up in the 1958 Miss World contest. While Her role as Domino cemented Auger's place in film history she has had a remarkably varied and prolific career in front of the camera. She remains one of cinema's great and most unique beauties.
