Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature a Lebanese artist, Rita Aad, in Passages. The exhibition is scheduled to run from March 25, 2011 through April 15, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, March 31, 2011).

About the Artist

Rita Aad’s oil on canvas paintings utilize abstract figuration, effectively merging human and plant forms in vivid, plentiful color. Her tactile, indulgent use of paint verges on the sculptural and conveys an abundant sense of energetic motion, interconnectivity and balance. A spontaneous, impulsive recorder of life, Aad cultivates a profound sense of experiential joy which she crystallizes during her creative process. An expert of textural variation, Aad methodically builds up the canvas with thick layers of oil that she reshapes anew with palette knife and brush. Her neo-primitive motifs, inspired by the colors of Fauvism, portray a beguiling illusion of radiating warmth. Within each work lies a tender and whimsical manifestation of our collective emotional, physical and cultural landscape.

Rita Aad was born in 1967 in Lebanon and currently lives and works in Beirut. She studied Business Administration at the American University of Beirut and worked in fashion as an image consultant for four years.

Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature Sherry Ruden in The Rhythm of Color. The exhibition is scheduled to run from February 4, 2011 through February 25, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, February 10, 2011).

About the Artist

There is a playful elegance to the decadent swirls and curves of Sherry Ruden’s figurative abstractions, a harmonious rhythm and lyrical flow as her sweeping linear loops reveal arching forms and the bodies of women relaxed in luxurious repose. Blending acrylic and oil paints on canvas, the artist infuses her art with a richness of hue and texture, her use of patterns and metallic sheen recalling the works of Gustav Klimt. As she paints, Sherry searches for beauty and perfection with a boundless freedom of self- expression, bringing to life the artistic dreams of her consciousness.

Born in Shanghai, China, Sherry began her studies in traditional calligraphy and scroll painting before attending the prestigious Shanghai University of Fine Art where she was inspired by Western art and culture from the Renaissance to modern masters. Sherry now lives and works in Seattle, WA where she continues to explore the limitless possibilities of her unique creative vision.

Internet surfing has become a part of our lives these days. Whether you need some information regarding some issue or want to play online games; want to download some song or keep yourself up to date with the latest gossip about your favorite celebrity; want to chat with friends or watch your favorite program online; its internet that is our first stop to get all we want. But what actually enables us to do all this is the bandwidth or the internet speed. It is internet speed of our connection that determines whether you really surf the net in true sense or get stuck every now and then. Regardless of the internet connection you are using the provider should meet the claims about the service. You might have subscribed for an internet connection with a downloading speed of 512kbps which might show on screen even 100Mbps but actually downloading the files at a 56kbps rate! This is how internet speed test service helps you in determining the actual speed of the connection.
An internet speed test determines two things for you:
? Downloading Speed
? Uploading Speed
It is normal to get a high download rate than upload speed of your internet connection in results. Results also tell you your IP address and that who is your internet service provider. Whatever is your location on the globe, whatever type of internet connection you are using, whosoever is the service provider and whatever technology you are using; an internet speed test service will show the actual bandwidth of the connection you are using. You can use the results to determine the worth of a connection; after all why to pay more when you are getting less in return. You can use it to troubleshoot the downloading and uploading problems by sharing these results with your internet service provider.

A number of internet speed test options are available on internet. The important thing in this regard at the user’s end is that you chose a server nearest to your location so as to get accurate results. Also you are required to enter the type of connection you are using (modem, DSL, Cable Net etc.) and the area code. Usually these tests work by downloading a file to your system that checks the speed of your connection and the process is completed in seconds. Another consideration in this regard is to check the speed of your connection at various times across the length of the day as when the net itself is busy your connection also tends to be slow. Doing the test different times of the day gives the most accurate results of the speed test.

There are factors that may affect the results of an internet speed test; some of them are given below:
? Slow Processor
? Too many applications running at the same time
? Downloading and uploading the data at the time of performing test

There are sites that charge you for the test but why to pay for the process when you can get same accurate results absolutely free of cost. Just make sure that the site is trust worthy to save your PC from potential hazards that may be downloaded to your system in the form of deadly viruses and Trojan horses.
