Celebrities in their coffins. Digital death campaign the problem. Celebrities in their coffns. Celebs in there coffins. 

TORONTO – It wasn’t easy convincing celebrities to feign their own deaths in coffins for a recent photo campaign for Alicia Keys’ charity, keep a Child Alive, admits renowned Canadian photographer Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri. “The concept with the coffin was something that took a lot of effort to talk everyone into doing because it’s certainly quite a shocking idea,” said Indrani, who goes by just her first name professionally and snapped the campaign with creative partner Markus Klinko. “On the shoot, a lot of people were nervous about the coffins but we made it fun in a certain way.

we played good music and we really took in the more sort of ‘Twilight’ direction and tried to make them as comfortable as possible.” Launched Dec. 1, the provocative Digital Death photo campaign depicted Keys, Lady Gaga, Ryan Seacrest, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian and several other celebs lying face-up, eyes closed in open caskets. The stars also stayed away from all their social media platforms until their fundraising goal for the charity — which supports HIV/AIDS programs in Africa and India — was reached. “The idea with the celebrities in the coffins was to put a familiar face on the problem,” Indrani said in a recent phone interview from New York. “The goal is to get people talking about the issues and that I think we’ve succeeded with that campaign very well.” Indrani and Klinko have been shooting the worlds of fashion and entertainment together for 16 years and can be seen in their new reality series, “Double Exposure,” airing Monday nights and repeating Saturday mornings on Cosmopolitan TV in Canada. The two are known for their extreme creative ideas, which they come up with through consultation with stylist GK Reid, who is also featured in the TV series. In 2009, for instance, they had Lady Gaga embody hello Kitty for a shoot in a London Masonic temple. The pop star’s outlandish outfits included a dress made out of hello Kitty plush toys. Other celebs they’ve shot over the years include Beyonce, Britney Spears, Naomi Campbell, David Bowie, Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz and Lindsay Lohan. Highlighting qualities that make the stars shine is what’s helped Indrani and Klinko build such a high-profile clientele, she said (not to mention they work up to 18-hour days).

“I think celebrities really like that because a lot of photographers are kind of looking for the flaws or looking to make these people more human, which is interesting too,” said Indrani. “But our approach is to look for what makes them extraordinary and to make inspiring images that bring out those qualities.” Born in Calcutta, Indrani (who won’t reveal her age) got her first peek at the world of photography while modelling as a teen in Toronto, where she moved at age nine and attended Havergal College school. While posing for magazines and ad campaigns around the world, she also spent a lot of time in ashrams, meditating and learning philosophy. In Paris, she learned digital post-production and retouching, skills that helped support her while she obtained a degree in anthropology at Princeton University. Indrani met Klinko just before she attended Princeton, when he was a classical harpist. The two immediately started doing photography together and dated for eight years, but are no longer involved romantically. “The two of us are opposite so we tend to have completely different ideas about everything and I think that that’s been part of our strength,” she said. “Our images appeal to very broad range of people whereas most photography is one person’s very subjective view.” These days, Indrani is also directing commercials as well as videos and documentaries. She’s also involved in several charities, including a school she founded with her dad in India, and later this year she’ll publish a self-help book called “Image Craft.” In a couple of weeks, Indrani and Klinko plan to head north of the border for a photo shoot, possibly in Toronto and Montreal. Indrani couldn’t disclose what the shoot is for but said, “there are some campaigns in the works.” “Our photography has been so much Paris, London, New York and L.a. that we haven’t really worked in Canada so it will be a fun thing to come there.” http://www.markusklinko-indrani.com/ http://www.seeschool.org/ Celebs were nervous posing in coffins for Digital Death campaign, says photog

I am trying to make a ssh2 backup script for our call center application using a batch file. I know that ssh2.exe is the command line version of ssh and I know what I need to type but I can't get the batch file to fill in the password for the user I am logging in as. for example ssh2.exe hotdog@bddev.yv.aub.edu will connect to bddev.yv.aub.edu with username hotdog. The next process is going to ask for a password. I can't seem to get past this point.

I am in a situation that is compressing me from each side and it feels like I am getting less and less able to cope with it. I am a college graduate and the only job I found as soon as I finished school was a CSR at a telecommunications company. This job is horrific. I feel so sick of it, that I cannot bear this pressure any more. I am a very sensitive, sincere, and compassionate person. So far, I have been cursed, called lazy, yelled at, and humiliated. This is a very non-thankful job. People call frustrated and never care what they say and how they treat the people on the phone. I wish, they could understand that employees in call centers are constricted by scripts, heavy rules, and no choice. It is not about how hard-working we are, it is about what our script tell us to do and what we are instructed. We cannot change the policy of the companies, we cannot lower the prices, we cannot modify the products and services. We are just the buffer between embittered customers and almighty wealthy company owners and dictators. It hurts me to be yelled at, no matter how humane I am. I love helping people with my heart, but this is not the job that allows me to do that. I have to be cold-hearted sometimes and always follow my script. I am more of a creative type of person and this job is killing me. I am applying for other jobs and I cannot get the success of being chosen anywhere else. Moreover, I have the restriction of working in a particular area, I cannot get any job (work in a cafe, for example). I live alone, far, far from my home. I am here because of my boy-friend, who turned out to be a different person. Now, I have no friends, no one, feel lonely, feeling disgusted of my jobs, and barely meeting the ends with my salary. How can I help myself? I am working hard to get a different job and it does not seem to be successful. I am skilled and hard-working. I am very loving, sensitive, and compassionate. It feels hard. I feel so stressed at work, sometimes I secretly cry at work. I hate thinking of tomorrow and having to go to work. I am lonely. I wish I could change my world. Well, I feel sad and very, very constricted. I wish I could be understood. And I wish, I could live in a a little happy world of my own, where I would be able to share my care and love with people and be appreciated. I wish I could ignore all the hatred I hear everyday on the phone at work. I wish everyone who read this all the best. Hope, you are feeling well.

If everything you said to your spouse went in one ear and out the other and you were tired of their actions but didnt want to divorce them, just wanted them to listen to you, appreciate you and treat you with respect; how would you show them how you feel? For Example: (my life) My husband and I were out of employment for about a year and we have gotten really far behind on bills. I got a job at a call center after I had my baby and he wants me to quit! I only work 16 hours a week at $10 hour. We have 4 kids - 3 months, 3 1/2, 5 and 7 1/2. We also own our own business but we just barely started getting any business. it is still very slow. My husband is very lazy and will find any excuse possible why he shouldnt get a job. "If we get this many customers, we wont have to work for anyone else" or " We would be just wasting our time at a job when we could be spending that time on our business" when he actually means that I can be spending that time on our business. The problem is I am the only one who will get out there and advertise and campaign for our business. He thinks that he will get turned down because he is a black man. We are $2000 behind in rent and he made a deal that he was going to paint our landlords house for $15 hr to try to catch up when we didnt have any customers or when I wasnt at work, but he has only showed up for 2 days and only for a total of 5 or 6 hours. that was last week. We are $1000 behind in 1 vehicle, which is in repo, and $1400 behind in another, which is in repo, not to mention our regular monthly bills. I work a PT job - no appreciation I find local agencies to help out with the utilities that we cant pay - no thanks from him I clean the house spotless including windows, baseboards, ceiling fans, walls, etc, do laundry and cook daily (all before I go to work) - no appreciation from him - and he doesnt even keep it clean so it is filthy when i get off of work I do all the grocery shopping and watch all the kids until i have to go to work - no thanks from him I advertise and campaign for our business and clean houses for extra money - he says that is what I am supposed to do! Not to mention the new 3 month old baby that I also breastfeed. I take the kids to church and if i go anywhere they come with me. I enforce the rules with my kids and give them the love and attention they need and deserve while he does nothing as far as interacting with them. We have a contract with my mother to do her lawn and she paid us before services to do her lawn including bushes and flowerbed, mowing and weedeating and blowing. I do all of this every week myself both front and back yard and sometimes i have to do it with the baby in a carrier on my chest! How do I show him that this behavior from him has to change and that i dont appreciate it? He is also very mean and disrespectful to me even in front of the kids, and it even gets worse when he starts to drink. I love my husband (for better or for worse) and I dont want to divorce him but he wont listen to how i feel and he always tries to flip the script when he is tired of my complaining and nagging. HELP ME PLEASE!
