12 Years a Slave
The slavery drama "12 Years a Slave" won the Academy Award for best picture, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry's highest honour in 86 years of the Oscars. British Director Steve McQueen's unflinching portrayal of pre-Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, including best supporting actress for newcomer Lupita Nyong'o and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery. Accepting the award, Nyong'o paid homage to her character, who picked more cotton than anyone else, yet suffered at the hands of her master.
In collaboration with the Punjab Sports Board, the talented students of Beaconhouse set a Guinness World Record for the largest art class on February 28, 2014.

Health Tip
Get your rest: seven to 8 hours of sleep is ideal to promote rest, recovery, and a healthy outlook on life. Too little rest leads to heightened levels of stress hormones that build fat, not burn it.
