Vintage & New Photos Of Paris Create a Historical Portal Back Into Time

France-based artist Julien Knez takes the proverbial trip down memory lane in historic Paris and brings it back to the modern era through a fun photographic series combining old and new shots of the charismatic city. Taking pictures from Paris from 1871 and 1968, Knez travels to the same location as the vintage images and aligns them to the present monuments.

As a 19-year-old sophomore at Stanford, Elizabeth Holmes decided to transform diagnostic medicine so she dropped out of college and used her tuition money to start her own company, Theranos. Ten years later, Holmes, pictured here holding a micro-vial, is on the cutting edge of medical technology — her new blood testing method allows hundreds of tests to be run using only a few drops of blood. And, Holmes’ methods are cheaper, faster, more accurate, and less invasive than conventional methods which often require a separate vial of blood for every test. As Holmes told Wired.com earlier this year, “I started this company because I wanted to spend my life changing our health care system. When someone you love gets really sick, most of the time when you find out, it’s too late to be able to do something about it. It’s heartbreaking… We wanted to make actionable health information accessible to people everywhere at the time it matters most. That means two things: being able to detect conditions in time to do something about them and providing access to information that can empower people to improve their lives.”

Yesterday I went to the Breakers on Oneida Lake in Oswego. It looked like a simpler walk but involved a lot more actual rock climbing than I expected. I busted up my knee, but it was a great morning. Afterwards I ended up at a friend's bbq and took a spontaneous boat ride on the Seneca River. It was a really great day.
