What Happens to the Coke in Coca-Cola?

The United States (and most other nations) expressly prohibits the sale and trade of coca leaves. But to this day, Coca-Cola needs coca leaves to make its drinks. In order for the drink to continue to exist in its current form, the company has a special arrangement with the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The Last Four Years on Kickstarter

The Last Four Years on Kickstarter:

Hey all you lovely people, fundraising for The Last Four Years has officially begun!

The Last Four Years is a senior project I’m working on - a photo book consisting of work inspired by the people and life events that have shaped me over the course of my college career. It’s going to be a pretty expensive undertaking, and every little bit helps.

I’m sending out a bunch of things in return for donations, including prints from the project, the behind-the-scenes documentary I’m producing, and a copy of the book depending on the donation level. This is the only time I’ll be printing book copies, so it’s a special opportunity I’m reserving just for project backers.

Your support is incredibly appreciated. I’ve had this project in mind for at least the past year, and I’m so unbelievably excited to have it realized.

Even if you can’t donate, I encourage you to watch the derpy video of me talking. Like, it leaks derp. And Gilldenstern makes a guest appearance.

got you guys a 13-pound bag of GTFO.

SMALL VALENTINE’S DAY POEM

Roses are red,
Violets are purple,
Which is a very hard word to rhyme
And makes me happy that on February the 14th we don’t traditionally have to give each other oranges.

Art history boner time!

Let’s begin this with a disclaimer: yes, you are going to judge me for how I just spent my Sunday night. Now that that’s out of the way.

The painting above is believed to potentially be a lost artwork of Leonardo da Vinci’s, and is called La Bella Principessa by leading da Vinci scholar Martin Kemp. Current evidence suggests that this depicts Bianca Sforza, the illegitimate daughter of Ludovico Sforza, and is a frontispiece ripped from the beginning of a copy of the Sforziad. The artwork could be worth close to $100 million - and came to light in 1998 when it was sold at an auction for just under $22k. It was resold to collector Peter Silverman in 2007 for roughly the same, and it was his idea that it’s an Italian Renaissance piece, rather than the 19th century German artwork it was listed as.

The debate’s been going around for awhile but my art history professor just recently directed my attention to a documentary on Nova that premiered late last month, Mystery of a Masterpiece. It’s a little sensational but if you’re in to this stuff and you’ve got an hour to spare, check it out. It details all the forensic tests that went in to researching the artwork and it’s pretty awesome. I’m now going through La Bella Principessa and the Warsaw Sforziad, a compilation of research by Martin Kemp and Pascal Cotte - Cotte is responsible for the imaging technology they used for their forensic work.

What I’m having a tricky time finding is well-summarized evidence to the contrary, so if anyone has actually been following this over the years and knows some material I can check out, let a girl know!
